Holmes also said politely that after all, he had something to ask of God, so naturally he had to be humble when he came here.
"I cannot say whether the God is willing to see you. The most I can do is to ask him if he is interested in seeing you."
"That's enough. If Xingjia Shrine needs anything in the future, the organization I lead, Yiyouding, will do its utmost to help."
Holmes also knew that it was not that easy to meet the gods, so even when faced with the uncertain answer from the chief of Xingga Shrine, he was very grateful.
"Okay, please wait here for a moment. I will ask the Lord God."
The chief of Xingga Shrine nodded. In fact, she took the initiative to show goodwill just for the alliance agreement with Holmes. After all, Yiyou's influence is also very large and he is an extremely powerful ally.
"it is good."
Holmes nodded, and then the chief of Xinga Shrine left.
Then the chief of Xingga Shrine sent Xingga Kirisue to the apartment rented by Moyin.
Twenty minutes later, Xingjia Kirishue arrived at Moyin's apartment and knocked on the door, and Meltlilith opened the door.
"Senior Moyin, the first detective Sherlock Holmes wants to meet you. Are you willing to meet him?"
Walking into the main hall and looking at Moyin who was playing Monopoly, Xingjia Wuxue asked carefully.
"Hey, Sherlock Holmes? Hmm... Let's go check it out. G41, can you play for me for a while?"
Moyin rubbed the little fox's soft ears.
"Yes, Master, go ahead and rest assured! I will definitely protect your property well!"
G41 sat up and said cutely.
"Well, I'll go over and take a look while you guys play."
Moyin put his hand on Xingjia Wuxue's shoulder, and then directly teleported to the altar enshrined in the main hall of Xingjia Shrine.
Afterwards, Xingjia Wuxue went and brought Holmes to the main hall.
"What do you want from me, Holmes?"
Moyin drank the tea served by Xingjia Fengxue and looked at the gentleman in front of him.
"In my life, I have only one long-cherished wish, which is to surpass the limits of humanity and step into the realm of gods. I wonder if Your Majesty can give me some pointers."
Even when facing Moyin, a young man who did not look like a god, Holmes still answered very politely.
"You want to be a god."
Moyin picked up a piece of cherry cake made of Xingjia powder snow and took a bite.
"Yes, if there is anything you need, I can bring it to you, no matter what it is."
Holmes spoke confidently, as if everything in the world was wealth that he could use at will.
"There is nothing in this world that I can't get. As long as I want it, it will be mine."
Moyin said confidently while biting a cherry cake.
Holmes didn't say anything, but just looked at Moyin with a smile. Since the conversation continued, he believed that there was still hope for a turnaround.
"Well, I'll give you a chance to become a god, but you'll have to pay a price in return."
"Appreciate further details."
A small tower appeared in Moyin's hand.
"I built this tower, it's called the Tower of Death. Each floor inside is a world, and each floor has a guardian in charge. As for your strength, it increases incrementally. As long as you can completely break out of this tower, you can ascend to the realm of gods as a human. In other words, even if you were an ordinary person before entering, as long as you can break out of it, you can step into the realm of gods."
"But, before you break out of this tower, you have to be my subordinate, and you must not object when I need you to do something."
"no problem."
Holmes answered immediately.
"If you can't get out, then stay on the tenth floor and become the guardian of the tenth floor, and defeat other intruders."
Moyin pointed to the Tower of Death in his hand.
"it is good."
Sherlock Holmes looked at the Tower of Death in Moyin's hand.
"Since I am the God of Death, my Law of Death applies here, so even if you die, you will be resurrected. Therefore, when you fight the enemy, you can kill the intruders and testers, and you yourself will not really die... Of course, you still have to endure the pain before death."
"And if you stop, you will have to guard this level as the tower keeper. As a benefit of being a tower keeper, if there are no challengers, you can continue to challenge the next level."
"No problem, when can I come in?"
Holmes asked.
"Now you can."
Moyin snapped his fingers, and a space door appeared on the side.
"Just walk in."
Moyin pointed at the space door.
Holmes walked in without hesitation.
…………
There was a ruined city before his eyes. Holmes had just looked around when a bloody figure ran out from a distant street corner, with a piece of bitten and tattered intestines dragging on the ground. Then he let out a roar and ran towards him.
"It can move so quickly despite such an injury. It looks like it's no longer human... If it were a vampire, it would have healed this kind of injury instantly, but it didn't. So... is it an undead zombie-like creature? It doesn't look like it can communicate."
Holmes stood there analyzing the situation with ease. When a zombie rushed up to him and prepared to bite his neck, Holmes instantly pulled out the Saxon knife hanging at his waist and stabbed it into the zombie's brain through its chin. Then he reached out and twisted the zombie's brain to crush it.
A space gate immediately appeared before my eyes.
"So I've passed the first level, it looks really easy... No, it's because I have the ability to pass the first level, so it's easy for me. For ordinary people living in a peaceful environment, this level is not easy."
Holmes did not rush to the second floor, but began to analyze this tower of death.
"From the fact that he is confident that he can become a god by passing through this death tower, I am afraid that this first level is designed for ordinary people who have not fought... Survive from this zombie-like creature and find a way to kill it. In this first level, people are given the task of overcoming their own fears, that is, depriving other life forms of their lives."
So that's how it is. He finally understood why Moyin said that even if an ordinary person entered, as long as they could break out of the Tower of Death, they could become gods. The Tower of Death was simply an upgrade path that took all factors into consideration.
"Interesting, then let me see which floor I can reach."
Holmes smiled and then walked towards the space door leading to the second floor.
The view on the second floor was still a deserted city. Holmes waited there for ten minutes, and after finding that no living creatures attacked him, he walked into the city.
For the next day, he walked alone in the deserted city, and nothing happened.
"Is this level a test of patience?"
Holmes stopped to think for a moment, then took a loaf of bread from an abandoned roadside shop and started eating.
At this moment, some kind of creature seemed to flash by in the shadow behind him. Holmes immediately turned his head to look, but found nothing.
"I see. The examinees for this level are assassins. They use long, boring walks to wear down people's patience and distract their attention. When the prey is anxious, they send out individuals who are proficient in assassination to carry out the assassination. The guardians of this level are pretty good."
Holmes commented as he ate his bread.
Only he, a world-renowned and excellent detective, could be so calm.
A normal person would be exhausted after walking in this deserted city which is like a ghost town for a day. If they encounter an assassination opponent at this time, they will basically panic and make mistakes.
This is much more difficult than the first level, but it obviously won't be a hindrance to him.
After finishing his bread, Holmes sat down on the stairs of the store, took out a cigar in an unguarded posture and started smoking leisurely.
The hunter hiding in the shadows did not rush to show up, but concealed his breath and waited for the best opportunity.
Four hours passed and it was already late at night. Holmes seemed unable to resist his tiredness and shook his head, then fell asleep.
At this moment, a barely detectable gray shadow emerged from the shadow of the building, and its sharp claws accurately grabbed Holmes' head.
Holmes' eyes opened instantly, a gleam of light flashed, and the Saxon knife in his hand pierced into the assassin's brain before the assassin.
The head of the first-level mutant Hider who failed in the sneak attack was hanging on the Saxon knife in Holmes' hand, and then Holmes moved it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
Hanging on his knife was a mutant zombie the size of a hound, with light gray skin, huge sharp claws, but a very light body.
In fact, don’t think that this level is very easy just because he killed the Hidden One with one sword. The Hidden One’s body is very agile. It is only because Holmes is very strong that he can accurately pierce its head with one sword and kill it instantly.
If it were someone else, it would be difficult to hit its head, and due to the characteristics of zombies, hitting the body has basically no effect on it, so the tower invader will be in a long state of being hunted.
In the end times, the number of people who died at the hands of the hidden ones is definitely no less than that of those who died at the hands of high-level mutants.
After the Hider died, the stairs leading to the third floor appeared in front of Holmes.
Holmes rested for a while, restored his spirit and physical strength, and then went to the third floor.
As soon as he arrived at the urban area on the third floor, Holmes saw a bald giant wearing a straitjacket and standing three meters tall a hundred meters away. His muscular body showed his physical strength.
This is undoubtedly a tyrant.
The tyrant rushed over as soon as he spotted Holmes, and then threw a fierce jab at Holmes' head.
Holmes dodged the tyrant's attack with a nimble move, and the concrete wall behind him shattered under the tyrant's punch.
The strength of human body is limited. Obviously, if he were to be hit by such a punch, he would be smashed to pieces.
Holmes then began to fight with the tyrant with his excellent fighting skills.
But after fighting for a while, Holmes started to run away.
The reason is simple: the Saxon knife in his hand cannot penetrate the tyrant's steel skin...it's the difference in material.
It would be meaningless if there was no way to break the defense with weapons. Obviously, this level probably required finding some powerful weapons to deal with this tyrant, so Holmes fled without hesitation. He didn't care about the means of victory, as long as he could win, escaping didn't matter.
It's not that he couldn't use other abilities to kill the tyrant, but to a certain extent, he wanted to defeat the tower guard only with the items given in the Death Tower -
There is no doubt that the higher the level, the stronger the enemies will be. At that time, the trump cards in your hand will come in handy.
So he planned to hide his abilities as much as possible, those other skills he acquired from the members of Yiyou.
Sure enough, after searching for a while, he found an RPG in a military camp and successfully smashed the tyrant's head.
Considering that heavily armored enemies like the Tyrant appeared on the third floor, Holmes deliberately found an anti-material sniper rifle in the area of the third floor and then entered the fourth floor.
However, what he didn't expect was that the enemies on the fourth floor were just the ordinary zombies he encountered on the first floor... Only, this time there was not just one, but a dense mass like a tide. It was roughly estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of them.
"Good job, can you pass this level by fighting ten thousand alone?"
Decisively throwing away the anti-material sniper rifle on his back to lighten the weight, Holmes chose an area with fewer zombies and rushed in with a Saxon knife in hand. Although the individual strength of these ordinary zombies was nothing to him, in a sense, this level was much more difficult than the Tyrant on the third level and the Hidden Ones on the second level.
