The world is restarting

Chapter 58 The 3rd Staircase

The stairs of the art building are not too long, but at a glance, it is not easy to count them with the naked eye.

Xiang Ri and the others were attracted by Naruto's fox, and when they realized it, they found that the two people in front had already climbed halfway up.

"Ah, Conan and Zetian are so cunning!" Yuantai immediately jumped up and rushed up, "One, two, three... seven, eight..."

Hui Yuanai stood where he was, patted the head of the little fox in his arms leisurely, "I counted wrong."

Yuan Tai: "Huh? Well, then I'll do it all over again..."

Ayumi: "...five, six, seven..."

Hui Yuanai: "You are wrong too."

Ayumi: "Huh?!"

Xiang Riyue: "...seven, eight..."

Hui Yuanai: "There is a step in the middle that I jumped over."

Xiang Ri: "Huh???"

on the stairs.

Regardless of the noisy children behind him, Conan calmly counted silently in his heart while walking up.

"Ten, eleven, twelve..."

He stepped up the last step.

"……Thirteen."

No.13 steps.

His pupils shrank slightly, and a strange chill emerged from the early summer temperature, quietly sticking to his back.

He closed his eyes for a while, his brain got rid of the strange situation and started to run at a high speed... There is absolutely no counting error, and he noticed it when he went upstairs before. The other floors are all twelve steps, only this one has an extra floor steps.

There are windows at the corners of the stairs in this art building. The intervals between each floor are exactly the same, and the height of each step has been measured in advance.

"Conan."

The hand hanging by his side was suddenly grasped.

Edogawa Conan came back to his senses abruptly, turned his head in a daze, the little girl beside him was watching him quietly, her light-colored pupils contained a pool of quiet pool water, and the warm temperature was transmitted from her fingertips , he seemed to be dragged by this little temperature to get out of the sudden chill just now, and landed down to reality again.

He let out a long breath, and slightly loosened the space between his brows, "I'm fine...so it's true that you can't turn back here, right?"

Sawada Ya nodded slightly, and then her gaze moved up, slowly falling into the void above her head.

Conan followed and looked up, only seeing the ceiling with interlaced light and shadow, which is what normal people see.

Conan: "What's there?"

Sawada Ya said softly, "A crack."

Specifically, it is a gap leading to the abnormal world.The long gap is like an ugly centipede crawling in the air. The gap seems to have life and consciousness. It grinned slightly, grinning ferociously and triumphantly at the people underneath, as if looking at the prey it sent to its mouth.

Conan and Sawada Ya stopped on the steps for a while.

Haibara Ai interrupted Ayumi again from below, and then raised her head to look at the two standing at the top with some doubts.

Her gaze went all the way up, and when she crossed the steps, she subconsciously began to count in her heart.

"...ten, eleven, twelve...thirteen?"

Her body froze suddenly, and she quickly retracted her gaze in disbelief and counted again from bottom to top.

Thirteen steps.

The floor that Sawada Ya and Conan stepped on happened to be the legendary No. 13th floor.

A chill came out from the ground and climbed up her back, her pupils contracted violently, and the hand holding Naruto unconsciously increased the strength.

"Huh."

A big fluffy tail swept across his neck, Hui Yuanai suddenly came back to his senses, lowered his head and met the little fox's blue eyes.It looked at her with a very human concern, and tried to straighten up and rub against her cheek.

"...Sorry, did I hurt you?"

Hui Yuanai subconsciously let go of her hand, and was about to touch the little fox's head, but Naruto took this opportunity to jump out of her arms, put his foot under her, and went straight to the stairs.

Hui Yuan: "!"

Hui Yuanai was in a daze for a moment, and Xiang Riyue had already jumped to the top floor quickly with his hands and feet.

"...Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, um, eh???? Ten, thirteen??... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The unlucky child was stunned for half a second after counting, and then finally realized what the thirteen steps represented. He was so frightened that his voice was raised, but before he could yell out, a hand suddenly reached out to cover it. shut his mouth.

This experience was too scary. Xiang Riyue stepped on the ground and almost fell, and was dragged by the people around him. Then he realized that he scrambled to stand still, straightened his neck and turned his head, and finally met the eyes of the people around him. .

Edogawa, who blocked his mouth, glanced over with a rare look of sharpness, and Mi on the other side shook his head, and made a "shh" gesture with his index finger on his lips.

Xiang Hiyake nodded stiffly, expressing that he knew, and watched Edogawa Conan slowly let go of his hands with wide eyes. It was only then that he seemed to realize that he could still breathe, and took a deep breath.

"What, what's going on..." Xiang Ri asked in a trembling voice, "Is the No.13 step real? So, so are we trapped here now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of yellow and white fur rushed up like lightning and hit his ankle.The unlucky child almost yelled again in fright, at the same time, Huiyuan below was shouting nervously, "Wait, Naruto!"

Naruto:"?"

The little fox stepped on the steps and turned around suspiciously.

Mukahidake, Conan, Haibara Ai, Sawada Ya, Kurahashi Wataru: "!"

In the next second, the entire space vibrated without warning.

Several people on the No. 13 steps raised their heads at the same time, and in the dim vision, the crack that did not exist in this world emerged from the air, gradually changing from blurred to clear.It slowly grinned a proud and ugly smile, the crack opened, and pairs of pale hands stretched out from the dark cracks, like snakes without bones, grabbing at the people below.

The viscous, foul-smelling liquid slid down these arms, hitting the ground with a "slap", accumulating filth like a quagmire.

Others who couldn't see this scene were still at a loss, and Yuan Tai and the others below tried to stand firm while holding on to the rickety stair railings, while turning their heads to look around in confusion.

"Earth, an earthquake?"

Not caring to say more, Ze Tianya flicked his fingertips quickly, and a golden light floated up, opened the enchantment formed by the mantra, and enveloped all the people on the stairs.

Those pale arms collided with the barrier, and as soon as the flesh touched the golden light, they were immediately scorched and "sizzled". The arms retreated suddenly, and there seemed to be an angry roar from a consciousness in the void.

However, before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the sludge dripping onto the ground suddenly expanded and joined together.Immediately afterwards, the vibration of the space began to intensify. Before the Naruto fox standing on the edge of the mud could react to what happened, the steps under his feet were swallowed by the mud. The whole fox seemed to have fallen into the swamp and sank quickly. down.

The whole process was too fast for people to react. Sawada Ya and Conan saw this scene as soon as they turned their heads. At the same time, they realized that the arms above their heads could not break through the barrier, so they collectively changed directions, bypassing the golden light and heading towards the A few people from far Yuantai were arrested.

In the blink of an eye, Sawada Ya didn't have time to think about it, and quickly recited a spell.

The golden platycodon marks quickly formed under her feet.

It's just that before the spell took effect, a bright light suddenly flashed in the vision of several people.

Like a sudden flash of lightning across the space, the arms protruding from the gap had just caught the top of Yuantai's head, and suddenly they all froze.In the next second, a neat incision spread from the forearm, forming a straight line of blood.In the blood splatter, the arms were like neatly cut wheat, brushed off all over the ground.

There seemed to be an angry howl of some creature in the void.

Ze Tianya only felt a gentle force on her waist, and then, in the blink of an eye, she was taken away from the place.

When she regained her footing on the ground, her body was pulled back by inertia, and hit a thin and solid chest.

"It's okay."

A hand reached out and rubbed her head soothingly like petting a small animal.

Little Loli raised her head in a daze, and met the eyes of the person behind her.

The last afterglow of the setting sun was reflected in the eyes of the other party, it was a clear and beautiful azure blue, like a clear and empty sky.

A bit like……

She suddenly thought in a daze...a bit like Dazai.

After the other party met her eyes, his brows and eyes curved, and he gave her a bright smile.

"..."

Edogawa Conan, who was also taken away from the weird steps but was just casually thrown into the corner, got up expressionlessly, patted the ashes on his clothes, and looked at the one who suddenly appeared over there with vacant eyes. The one who still hugs Lori and refuses to let go.

"who are you?"

"Ah." The blond boy seemed to have finally come to his senses, let go of Sawada Ya, and introduced himself with a smile on the back of his head, "Well, my name is Yuanguang, and I am a demon..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the weirdness of the No. 13th floor was finally dissatisfied with being ignored, and a huge number of arms stretched out from the gap again, carrying a lot of mud, and attacked together.

"Well, now doesn't seem to be the time to introduce myself, let's talk about this first."

He quickly turned his back and stood in front of them.

Xiang Hiyue was also a member of the discrimination group who was thrown into the corner and ignored. When he was pulled up by Conan, his face was blank. When he subconsciously raised his head, he saw pale arms crowded in his field of vision. Passionately reaching down from the top of the head, wanting to break through the blockade of the demon masters and get close to them, as if the scene of the arrival of a different space can make people's SAN value go crazy.

Xiang Riyue was so shocked by this scene that his brain almost went blank along with his expression.

At this time, he heard Edogawa next to him still discussing calmly with the exorcist who suddenly appeared.

"What the hell is this?"

"The second of the seven wonders, the missing No.13 staircase...Although I don't want to admit that this is number two."

The last words were whispered by the blond boy, barely audible.

At this juncture, it was too late to investigate the identity of the strange boy. It seemed that the other party was on their side. Conan asked bluntly, "What is the weakness?"

"It's God's possession."

"what?"

"The origin of the seven inconceivables, an important thing that bestows the seven inconceivable special powers." Facing a group of pale dead people alone, the blond boy still seemed to be able to do a job with ease, speaking in an unhurried tone, "It's like a toy Just like the battery, as long as it is destroyed, the Seven Mysteries will not work like a broken toy... Well, it is true under normal circumstances."

Conan: "...that is to say, the current situation is not normal?"

So can't this person focus on the point?

Yuanguang: "It's not normal, but the laws of operation are the same. Although the weirdness of the 'No.13 Staircase' is not created by the 'God's Possession', there must be a core, and it can be broken if it is destroyed. Eliminate this strange talk."
