Chen Ke came out of the manager's room, and the office outside changed. The office, which was shot in a mess by Chen Ke, returned to Mo Yang when he just came in. The typewriter was placed on the table, and the white paper scattered all over the floor was gone.

He ignored it and walked up the stairs before his leather shoes creaked on the steps.

The surroundings suddenly became dark, and Chen Ke noticed some changes. The concrete steps turned into wooden steps. The surroundings were so dark that they could not even see the walls on both sides.

Chen Ke reached out and tried it. The sides of the stairs were empty, the front and back were infinitely extended, reaching into the confusing darkness. He knew that this was another trick of the foundation.

He walked up for a while, and the stairs seemed to have no end forever. Chen Ke simply stopped and looked downstairs. In the darkness, a dull man's face appeared faintly.

“Hu…hu…hu…”

The face in the dark was breathing, and the sound sounded heavy, like a fat man who was panting and climbing a stairs. Chen Ke walked up a while, and the distance between the face from him did not change because of his movement.

In his vision, a line of small words appeared, showing that the staircase was an alienated substance called the endless staircase.

So he simply stopped, his left eye turned red, and he used the white object's vision to observe his environment. He found that the cement stairs under his feet had two layers replaced with wood.

In the view of his left eye, Chen Ke himself stood on the steps and was standing on the wooden steps replaced in these two sections. In the view of his right eye, he was indeed climbing the stairs.

If it were someone else, I was afraid that he would be scared to death by himself, but Chen Ke didn't care about this. He summoned the Moonlight Sword and thrust into his feet.

In an instant, the darkness around him dissipated. At the foot of his feet, the two wooden steps were penetrated by the Moonlight Great Sword, and there was no text in his sight. This thing was broken.

Chen Ke put away his sword and went up to the third floor. An aisle appeared in front of him. There were two offices on the left side of the aisle, with a huge folding iron door in the middle. On the other side of the iron door, there was a control room with the words "Special Containment Observation Office"

He walked along the aisle to the head and entered the control room. Outside the huge bulletproof glass window, there was an open indoor space. The walls and ceiling of the space were surrounded by iron-gray metal partitions. There was a round shadowless light on the center ceiling of the room.

There is also a large iron door opposite the control room, and it seems that the space is open in both directions.

The red handle on the console can tell at a glance that it is used to open the door, but Chen Ke was attracted by the pile of sand in the middle of the room.

The pile of sand was piled up in the middle of the room, which was about five meters high, enough to fill a room of 150 square meters. There was only one road on the third floor. Chen Ke had no choice but to pull the red handle and open the folding iron door of the observation room.

The heavy winch turned, and the sound of metal friction made people crazy. The folded iron door was replaced and rolled into a roll.

Chen Ke walked into the observation room, and the sand on the ground clattered under his feet, and they slowly rolled towards the sand pile.

When Chen Ke walked near the sand pile, only about 10 meters away, the sand started to move like a living thing.

The sand condensed into a ball, first gathering into a pair of big cats' claws, and then forming a lion-like back half. The wings of a pair of eagles spread out from behind, their tails were swung lightly, and a female head appeared on the neck where they were holding the thing.

It sat in front of Chen Ke, with a height of more than 5 meters. The human face stared at Chen Ke and looked at him. His skin was golden and the lion fur on his body was very smooth. He wanted to rub it.

"Hello, traveler." The guy smiled and greeted Chen Ke, and he actually used Chinese.

"This is not a good place to travel." Chen Ke inserted his waist and looked at the strange creature.

"You are right, but this is not a place that can be easily passed by." The thing seemed to have a good mental level, and it responded with Chen Ke's words.

"What are you? I mean, what are you before you were poured into the foundation?" Chen Ke asked.

"I'm Sphinx," Sphinx said.

Chen Ke was stunned for a moment, but he was not surprised.

"If you want to pass here, you need to answer my questions. If you answer wrong, your life will end here." Sphinx said calmly.

"The answer is human. You can let me pass." Chen Ke had known Sphinx's trick for a long time. Not everyone knows its allusions, but they also belong to the category of common sense. The question raised is nothing more than the one with four legs in the morning and two legs at noon.

Sphinx's smile was a little weird. It looked at Chen Ke and seemed to have known that he would say that for a long time.

"What? Do you have new tricks?" Chen Ke asked.

"You, like them, thought you knew me well enough, but many things in this world are not constant," said Sphinx.

"What if I don't want to answer?" Chen Ke asked.

"Your life will come to an end," Sphinx said.

"The bets and rewards you provide are not equal. If I answer correctly, I can just walk past you." Chen Ke shrugged.

"Funny. You were the first to say that." Sphinx said.

"Or why, if I answer correctly, tell me what I want to know, what will happen?" Chen Ke asked.

Sphinx lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at Chen Ke and asked, "What do you want to know?"

"There are three witches here, I want to know where they are." Chen Ke said.

Sphinx changed his position and he lay on his side, as if it would be very comfortable.

"Do you agree? Make an idea!" Chen Ke urged.

"That's it, I'm going to ask the first question, get ready." Sphinx said.

Chen Ke made a gesture of asking for help.

"Never rest, never stand still, silently move from the hill to another hill; he does not walk; he does not run or walk fast; where he does not exist is cool." Sphinx asked the first question.

Chen Ke smiled and said, "Sun."

Sphinx nodded and said, "This is just a warm-up, the next challenge is the next one."

"I live without breath; I am cold in life or death; I am never thirsty, although I will never stop drinking." Sphinx asked the second question.

"Well..." Chen Ke pinched his chin and thought.

"Can't answer?" Sphinx said proudly, his eyes emitting greed.

"No, the answer to this question is too large. All aquatic cold-blooded animals fall into this category." Chen Ke said.

"You're right, let's just pass." Sphinx sighed regretfully.

"What can you run but never walk; you have a mouth but never talk; you have a head but never cry; you have a bed but never sleep." Sphinx asked the third question.

"It's that damn river, my dear Sphinx. I swear the correct answer is definitely this." Chen Ke said in a strange voice with a strange sound.

"You must have cheated in some way." Sphinx was dissatisfied.

"I don't." Chen Ke shook his head.

"Whatever you say, the fourth question will definitely stump you." Sphinx said.

"This thing devours everything, birds, beasts, trees, flowers and plants. Bites steel, grinds hard stones and eats it. Kill the kings, destroys the city walls, and knocks down mountains. What is this thing?" Sphinx asked the last question.

"It's me..." Chen Ke said.

"It's you?" Sphinx laughed.

"That's right, it's me." Chen Ke nodded.

"This is not an answer, but I tend to judge that you are wrong. The correct answer is time." Sphinx smiled.

"Touch my fingertips, you will know what I mean." Chen Ke said, reaching out to Sphinx.

"Oh? You're so special, unlike anyone else I've ever met." Sphinx laughed, stretched out his claws and touched Chen Ke's hand.

He touched Sphinx's hair, and the power of time was transmitted from his palm. Sphinx's face changed slightly, and he wanted to pull his claws back, but his body's perception seemed to no longer exist from his claws.

"You are..." Sphinx was frightened, his huge body began to collapse, sand oozing out of his hair, and he wanted to retreat, but a tuft of hair on his claws was pulled by Chen Ke. It could feel that the time around Chen Ke stopped flowing. It saw what Chen Ke's heart, and the power that that thing possessed was far greater than the Egyptian kings it had seen.

"Ah... the great... the wanderers of all realms... the old king who dominates the yellow sand... I apologize to you." Sphinx lay respectfully in front of Chen Ke, his head lowered.

"Tell me the whereabouts of the witch." Chen Ke said.
