Chapter 192 Ladder

"When did we come in?"

Annan, who was moving downwards in the boundless darkness, suddenly asked a question.

"have no idea."

Jiuxiao, who was walking in front, shook his head.

"Like you, I don't know anything. When we come to our senses, we are already walking on this downward ladder."

Annan frowned.

He looked down at the stone steps under his feet, then looked back at the situation behind him.

"You can't see the exit stairs, you can't see the end..."

Annan remembered that he followed the professor from the previous college and walked into the depths of the college.

Then, before he reacted, he was already walking on this seemingly endless downward staircase.

He didn't know when he entered here, where he entered here, or how he entered here.

It's not that he forgot, his consciousness was very clear, but he just didn't know.

"Is the academy that big?"

Annan felt as if he had been moving forward for a long time, but the sloping stairs that kept going down could never reach the end no matter how hard he walked.

"The college is indeed very big, but this place is very special."

Jiuxiao looked at the darkness he was now in.

There was obviously no light around them, but they could clearly see the stairs under their feet.

If they spread their hands, they would not be able to touch any of the walls. However, this does not mean that there are bottomless abyss on both sides of the stairs. They cannot leave the stairs. They are quite safe.

"This is also the second time I've come into this place. I'm obviously prepared, but I still don't understand what's going on in this place. This shouldn't be an illusion, and we shouldn't be trapped in an illusion. But what do you think of this place? It’s not like reality, the academy does have a lot of secrets.”

"Professor Jiuxiao, how long have you been a member of the academy?" Annan asked.

"I was recruited by the academy when I was your age. If you think about it, it has been more than ten years."

Jiuxiao didn't hide anything, nor did she avoid questions.

I just don't know if what he said is true.

"I am not a senior member of the academy, but I think I have been in contact with it for a while. I thought I had discovered many secrets. Who knew, the mystery of the academy is still far beyond my imagination. "

Annan estimated that he would not be able to get any useful answers from this college professor.

If what the other party said was true, he really knew nothing about the place where this staircase seemed to extend infinitely.

Annan, who has extremely high spiritual vision and inspiration, cannot see through the details here at all. It should be said that he has no feeling at all.

Obviously he can see the terrifying thing entrenched in the academy, but in this place, spiritual vision and inspiration seem to be of no use.

"Oh, it looks like we don't have to go any further."

Professor Jiuxiao stopped.

His gaze fell on the endless darkness ahead.

Annan's eyes were also looking in the same direction.

He saw it, saw it very clearly.

That thing just appeared.

There was no warning at all, it just appeared in front of me while walking.

"Annan, you should be able to see it, right?" Jiuxiao asked without looking back.

"Yes, you can see it very clearly. It's sparkling."

Annan responded intently.

"This is the so-called fate?"

"Yes, this is what is called destiny."

Jiuxiao's voice seemed to be sighing.

"You understand now. The explanation in words is pale and weak. Only by witnessing it with your own eyes can you truly understand the existence of this thing. This is fate."

Jiuxiao pondered for a while.

"In your opinion, how does fate appear?"

"A brilliant golden scroll, woven with golden threads of destiny, is the destiny of the college."

Annan described the destiny he saw now as brilliantly as possible.

"What I saw was a fragmented golden scroll. The scroll that was supposed to depict the destiny of the whole world is now just a small fragment. This is an indescribable abstract scroll that only shows the destiny of the academy."

Annan could not accurately describe the appearance of the scroll he saw.

However, no matter who it is, as long as they see it, they will understand that this golden scroll represents the fate of the college, and only the fate of the college.

"After seeing this thing, I finally understood. Indeed, the fate of the academy chose me. Even if they don't know my existence, this picture still depicts me. It is necessary for me to become a member of the academy. destiny, and destiny must be accepted.”

Annan said so, but that wasn't what he really meant.

He just directly expressed the meaning he saw from the destiny scroll.

"Destiny can't be changed, it shouldn't be changed, this is how it manifests itself, ha, it feels so awesome."

Annan felt more and more strange the more he looked at it.

This magnificent picture of destiny is full of contradictions.

"This scroll will not predict the future, but it will show the upcoming destiny. This thing will not record the past, but it will clearly remember the trajectory of the destiny that has disappeared. What the hell? What does this thing express?"

Annan really couldn't understand the meaning of this so-called destiny picture.

He simply didn't think too much about it. It was better not to take this so-called fate-related thing seriously.

"Professor Jiuxiao, you just asked how fate appears in my eyes. Could it be that the fate you see in your eyes is different from the golden scroll I see?"

"According to the old guys on the council, everyone sees a different fate."

Jiuxiao nodded, indicating that Annan was right.

"Destiny in your eyes is a glorious and broken picture. However, what I see is a huge chessboard, missing in the east and west, with countless chess pieces of different colors moving on it. The chessboard .”

"The chessboard of destiny, the scroll of destiny, are these related?"

Annan was a little regretful that there was no third person present here, otherwise the image of fate seen by the third person could be used as a reference.

"Okay, I understand what fate is. I really can't understand it at all. It seems to have no meaning, but it seems to be very important."

Annan felt that there was no need to continue reading.

You only need to look at the picture of destiny to understand it, and continuing to look at it is just a waste of your time.

"If you are satisfied, then let's leave."

Jiuxiao turned around.

Then, Annan found himself back at the door of Jiuxiao's office without even realizing it.

"What just happened was really not an illusion created by the academy?"

Annan looked at the mechanical doll waiting at the door of the office.

Just like what he saw when he stepped out of the office, the movements of the mechanical doll were meticulous and did not change at all.

This makes people wonder if everything he experienced just now was just an illusion in his mind. In fact, he was standing at the door the whole time.

"maybe."

Jiuxiao smiled slightly.

It's not that he's pretending to be incomprehensible, it's just that he doesn't understand it himself.

So, just smile here.

"Okay, let's go back to the office first. I also need to tell you some common sense about the academy and things to pay attention to."
