I Wasn't Born Lucky

Chapter 266

Xiao Li originally wanted to say the same introduction to the IV ghost and ponytailed ghost. However, the reaction of the pen fairy and the split-mouthed woman made him stop and he instead continued to go up.

The impact downstairs continued. Although the IV of the IV ghost was stuck in between the two door handles, it couldn't last long. In addition, the elevator had stopped working and they could only climb up the remaining floors.

Going upstairs was much harder than going downstairs. Xiao Li was already gasping when he climbed up three floors. He held the railing with one hand while the other hand was in his pocket. The pen fairy didn't leave and had been suspended in midair.

The split-mouthed woman observed the pen fairy. Xiao Li didn't speak and the split-mouthed woman was also silent. Finally, she couldn't help it anymore. She came to the pen in two steps and spoke casually. "I've heard of you."

The pen fairy's body was shocked.

The voice of the split-mouthed woman was muffled through the scarf. "You will answer the questions they ask you and you can only tell the truth. So now can I ask you, am I beautiful?"

She unwrapped the scarf and revealed her split mouthed, the flesh and blood cavity and the sharp teeth. The visual impact was stronger than when she showed her mouth all the time.

Originally, the split-mouthed woman didn't have the impulse to ask this from Xiao Li anymore. Now that she had bumped into the pen fairy and saw that it had been answering questions. Therefore, she couldn't help asking again.

The pen fairy, "......."

This question wasn't difficult to answer but could it tell the truth? In particular, it saw that the hand holding the large scissors was tightening and it didn't want to experience the feeling of being cut. It couldn't let that happen. Therefore, the pen fairy drew a character that didn't really mean anything in the air and handed the problem to Moriarty.

Xiao Li didn't look at the pen fairy's ghost character. The hand he put into his pocket touched the things Wang Huai and Gong Mingming had given to him. There were three pieces of chaos fragments plus a strange amulet. Xiao Li felt the breath of the goddess of night that he had sensed once from the adjudication prison.

At the time, Wang Huai had whispered to him when putting things in his pocket. "I can guess what you want to do. These things will help you a bit but we can't put all our eggs in one basket. The others and I will use another method to save reality."

This was why Xiao Li was the only one who came here. If he failed, there was still Wang Huai.

Xiao Li stopped and rested a bit while climbing the next step. Before the split-mouthed woman could turn to scold him, he climbed up at a faster pace. This wasn't an easy action. Due to the existence of the cracks, he had to concentrate on avoiding them by raising his feet or bending down. He sometimes even had to walk sideways.

The brittle sounds of bones didn't disappear from downstairs. They seemed to have found a way in. Xiao Li looked down through the middle gap in the stairs and saw that the black swamp below was eating at everything, including the stairs, walls and steps.

The floors here were high enough that the muffled noise from outside could be transmitted to Xiao Li's ears without any hindrance. It was deafening. Compared with thunder, it was more like a crashing sound when a certain space overlapped with another space.

On the 85th floor, the stairs had reached the end. He couldn't take the stairs to go up further. He could only take the sightseeing elevator. However, the 85th floor couldn't be directly entered. It was blocked by a door with a password lock. There was a corridor outside the password door that led to the staff room.
