Indiana Jones

Chapter 86 Cave Maze (17)

Si Xuanyi woke up slowly lying on his stomach in the darkness, surrounded by endless darkness, and the pain on his body was still there. This made him realize that he was still alive, and this time he woke up feeling much better than before, although he was still sore It was terrible, but at least his body was no longer the tearing pain before. He put his hand into his bosom, it was empty, and there was nothing there. Only Liang Rong was lying on the side, sleeping soundly. He didn't even change his position. After careful inspection, he didn't find any tooth marks on himself and Liang Rong. There was no broken snake or blood on the ground...

Si Xuanyi carefully sorted out his thoughts, and reorganized his conjectures. Soon Liang Rong woke up, and her condition recovered well, at least much better than before. Si Xuanyi told Liang Rong about her conjectures... …

"You mean that what we see are hallucinations?" Liang Rong involuntarily touched the stone wall beside her, feeling a little hard to suffocate.

"No, I'm referring to the poisonous snakes, monster butterflies and wild men we saw. Those things don't exist at all. Do you still remember the colorful butterfly attack we encountered before?" Si Xuanyi asked.

Liang Rong nodded: "What's the matter? We were lucky to survive."

"No." Si Xuanyi shook his head, "We didn't receive any attack. We were attacked by that thing when we were in Yaohu Lake before, leaving many blood holes on our body, but this time, nothing was left on us. The butterfly didn't touch us at all, don't forget that when we were by the lake, those things didn't even let the corpses go, if this can be explained by our luck, what about the poisonous snake? You have encountered a poisonous snake before, but the poisonous snake didn't attack either You, to be honest, I did an experiment just now, and before I fainted, I saw being surrounded and attacked by poisonous snakes... ".Speaking of this, he pointed to the marks left by a circle of fire on the ground and said, "Those poisonous snakes actually passed through the fire wall, and left more than one bite wound on my body, but now nothing is left..." Si Sylphy stretched out his hand to show Liang Rong, "Before I fell into a coma, I saw a poisonous snake biting your neck, but now you are sitting here unscathed."

After listening to Si Xuanyi's explanation, Liang Rong suddenly felt cold all over his body, and he actually tried it at the risk of being bitten to death. What kind of guts and courage does it take to face the poisonous snake and let it bite?Even if it is a hallucination, it is too real, and it is definitely not so easy to overcome psychological fear.

"Actually, when I encountered savages, I felt that something was wrong. I just couldn't figure out what the problem was for a while." Si Xuanyi continued, "Later, after going through that scene a few times, I slowly realized I realized that although that thing often appeared suddenly, every time I knew it brought us fear, it did not cause us substantial harm. According to the speed of savages and leopards, even if we had the most physical strength, it was impossible to run. I have passed them, but we have never been caught up. I have experienced two attacks by monster butterflies. Bite, you have experienced at least one bite by a poisonous snake twice, but we are still alive, how to explain this? If those poisonous snakes and beasts are real, why are we still alive? We should have died on the spot long ago That's right, if luck alone is the only way we can survive till now..."

Liang Rong fell into deep thought, she felt that what Si Xuanyi said made sense, but there were still many things she couldn't explain, so she asked again: "You made a lot of sense, so why did our hallucinations disappear after coma? Why do we have hallucinations after we enter similar passages? Why do we feel pain when we are attacked and eventually pass out?"

"The possible cause of our hallucinations is related to the environment here. Once we enter this place for more than a certain period of time, we may have hallucinations. After a little longer, we will faint when our physical strength is almost exhausted. As we fall into In a coma, the hallucinogenic effect begins to gradually weaken, and we will not wake up until it completely disappears, and then walk again, and go through the whole process several times, endless reincarnation, until we are strangled to death." Si Xuanyi slowly He explained, "It's a bit far-fetched to say so, but there is another possibility that I need to continue to verify. If it is really as we guessed, then the whole thing can have a reasonable explanation."

"Prove what?" Liang Rong looked at him strangely. Although she didn't really believe it, she couldn't find any reason to refute Si Xuanyi's point of view.

Si Xuanyi illuminated the passage behind him with a flashlight: "It's been a long time since I woke up. Although I don't have a watch, it's probably time for those things to come out. No matter what is coming this time, we shouldn't hide. It’s okay to be unconscious again, at least we have preserved our strength.”

Liang Rong nodded dubiously, but she was still very nervous. After all, she had never experienced Si Xuanyi's test. It takes courage to face the attack of poisonous snakes and beasts without running away. Even the scene of hallucinations is enough to make people feel scared. of.

So the two of them didn't speak, and both fell into silence, just staring into the distance silently. In the end, Si Xuanyi simply stopped the flashlight, and the two of them just sat in the dark and waited for something that might exist. For a long time, according to their estimates, at least how many hours, still nothing appeared...

"Is there something wrong with your judgment? Nothing!" Liang Rong asked suspiciously.

"It's fine if nothing comes." Si Xuanyi stood up on the opposite side and touched the Wannian oil in the ditch, and the lake light suddenly illuminated and dimmed the passageway.

"What do you mean?" Liang Rong still didn't understand.

"Keep waiting!" Si Xuanyi sat down and continued to close his eyes and meditate. This time he did not continue to hold the ghost knife across his lap, but held a Thomson submachine gun. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Liang Rong didn't ask again. Anyway, It is useless to ask now.

After a while, they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the depths of the passage, and countless black shadows rushed towards them...

"Come on, son of a bitch..." Si Xuanyi stared at the large group of poisonous snakes and beasts. Liang Rong was already trembling with fright. She still couldn't believe that all of this was their hallucination. When the person rushed over, she still fainted from fright...
