Chapter 487 It’s Just a Head

"Sure enough, you are right down there, meow! Five hundred and fifty-fourth floor, meow!" Zhupa was the first to jump down the narrow and long stairs.

Hayata followed closely, "I counted five hundred and fifty-six floors."

"Meow meow meow? Are humans and Elu different cats?"

Pig Chop looked back at the stairs suspiciously, "Gordon counted five hundred and fifty-six levels of meow at that time. How many levels of meow did you count, Xianglan?"

Under the gazes of Hayata and Zhupa, Pandan trembled her beard and her eyes wandered, "Five, five hundred, five hundred and fifty-five levels, meow!"

"Tell the truth, meow."

".The even numbers are messed up, meow."

"Good-for-nothing meow!"

"I'll count meow one more time!" Xianglan was unconvinced and wanted to run back, but was pulled back by Hayata.

Counting the stairs was just to distract Pandan, which seemed to be too much.

"Cheer up, we're almost there." Hayata reminded her, rubbing Pandan's furry head.

Xianglan stiffened when she heard this.

Once he realized this, the suffocating sense of oppression suddenly hit him like a tide from all directions.

If it felt like being stared at by some kind of terrifying monster before, now it felt like it had been taken into its mouth by that monster.

"Meow!" Xianglan shrank again.

Pig Chop's expression became serious, "To be honest, Meow, Xianglan, you'd better stop here, Meow. I irritated you before, but if you have reached your limit, you will really go crazy if you continue to move forward, Meow."

After thinking about it, he added, "If I had come alone instead of traveling with Gordon, I might have gone crazy."

Hayata also nodded, "You don't have to force yourself."

Xianglan scratched her ears frantically, and then suddenly grabbed the reply flute on her chest, blowing hard as if to blow away her fear.

"Didi--."

"Although, although I won't be of much use this time, I am Hayata's hunting partner, meow! As long as Hayata can continue to move forward, I can do it too, meow!"

"I'm so enlightened, meow! Then let's rush over in one go, meow!"

Pig Chop pointed at the dark area ahead that could not be illuminated by light, "We are not here to face it with fear, we are here to blow it up!"

"Blow it up, meow!"

"Chong Meow!"

"Meow meow meow!"

Pork Chop and Pandan rushed out on all fours.

Hayata was stunned for a moment. Seeing the two Ellu meowing and charging forward excitedly, the uneasiness in her heart also dissipated a little.

"Huh~." She breathed lightly, took steps, and chased the Elu in front.

"As Senior Gordon said, in the final analysis, it is just a head that was chopped off countless years ago."

Different from the cautious approach when they came last time, under the leadership of Pig Chop running at full speed, the huge black stone tower soon appeared in front of them.

"The head is right up there, meow."

Zhupa pointed to the top of the black stone tower and said to Hayata and the others: "I can finish it alone, meow. You can wait here for a while, meow."

I've faced it directly, no problem, meow. "

Xianglan said dissatisfiedly: "There's so much nonsense, meow, it's all here, meow!"

"Don't worry about us, Pig Chop." Halfway through Hayata's words, he suddenly frowned.

She noticed something unusual.

"Pork chop, although you have indeed faced it, it does not mean that there will be no risk when you face it again. The plan for joint action throughout the process was formulated from the beginning.

Accompanying each other, supervising each other, and reminding each other, this is the real reason why we entered the ruins together, have you forgotten? "

"Meow?"

Pig Chop held his head and thought for a while, "I have not forgotten these things, it's just that the final part of adjusting and placing the explosives is all that I need."

I understand what you mean, meow, but Hayata, is it possible that your thinking has been confused, meow, why do you have to face that head in person, meow? "

"."

Hayata didn't know how to answer.

Xianglan blinked at the side, "Pork chop is so annoying, meow. If you think we shouldn't go up there, why do you still want to get excited, meow?"

He even took us to the foot of the Black Stone Tower and asked us to stop at the stairs, okay? "

Pork Chop was also stunned when he heard this.

It was only then that they truly experienced what the professor called "a sense of confusion."

From their respective perspectives, these choices and judgments seemed logical, but from another perspective, something seemed wrong. In the end, they could not tell who had the problem.

Or maybe there is something wrong with everyone.

Patting his cheek hard, Hayata said solemnly: "It is unreasonable for us to spend time discussing these things now.

Although I am a bit arbitrary, from now on, everything will be done as I say. "

"Good!" Xianglan agreed without hesitation.

Pig Chop also nodded, "This is more efficient, meow."

"We have already determined the plan before departure, so we will strictly follow the plan."

Hayata glanced at the Black Stone Tower, "I will repeat the plan. Pork Chop will go with me, and Pandan will lie behind me and close her eyes for a few seconds.

After facing the head directly, if I didn't react within half a minute, Pig Chop would scratch me awake and make a sound. If neither I nor Pork Chop moved, Pandan, whose eyes were always closed, would wake me up by scratching me. "

"Good meow!"

"I understand, meow."

"No time to delay, Xianglan, climb up."

"Meow!" Xianglan jumped and climbed onto the backpack behind Hayata.

"Everyone, be prepared, we will go up the stairs now." Hayata held the lantern and walked step by step to the top of the Black Stone Tower.

As she continued to go up, Hayata could feel her heart beating faster and faster.

If she stabbed herself at this time, the blood would splatter very high.

No, what am I thinking?

Although she had done psychological preparation countless times, she still felt that her mind was in a mess.

It's just a head that had been chopped off a long time ago, it's just a head, it's just a head

Hayata kept saying to herself in her heart.

Unknowingly, the platform at the top of the Black Stone Tower was already in sight.

"Xianglan, start counting seconds, louder."

".Okay, good meow!"

Xianglan closed her eyes tightly, her voice trembling, "One! Two"

"Pork chop, let's go up."

"Good meow."

Hayata and Pork chop took a deep breath at the same time and stepped onto the last few steps.

Dark golden pupils.

Blood, breath, thoughts, and even the ethereal soul, all froze at the moment of looking into this pupil.

The sound of Xianglan's few seconds right behind her ear seemed as far away as the horizon, blurry and unclear.

"Five, five, five"

Why did it keep shouting five, what number came after five?

What was in front of me, what did I see? Hayata felt that his thoughts were very chaotic, and his soul and heart seemed to be torn into two parts.

"It's just a head, it's just a head"

What is this voice? It feels very familiar, ah, this is my voice, the voice I have been chanting in my heart.

It's just a head.

Hayata awoke suddenly.

She gasped, her shirt soaked with cold sweat, and Xianglan's voice returned to normal after a few seconds. "Six! Seven! Eight"

Did it only take a moment?

Hayata turned her head to look at Pork Chop, and Pork Chop shivered twice and regained consciousness.

"No matter how many times I look at it, it's scary meow"

Pork Chop's voice was trembling, and it also looked at Hayata, "Meow? Hayata has woken up meow, so amazing meow, faster than Gordon meow!"

Hayata patted Xianglan's little head lying behind her, "It's okay, we're fine."

"Really fine meow?" Xianglan still didn't dare to open her eyes.

"Yeah."

Hayata looked at the rotten head again, the sharp teeth and sharp horns were still ferocious, and only one dark golden pupil was left, which was always emitting an ominous light.

But that's all.

"Like Senior Gordon said, it's just a head."
