Silent Killing

After walking through the long passage, the two came to a stone room again. The original plan was that they should walk back along the rope to see what was going on.

But the newly appeared Shishi, but something happened to them unexpectedly.

In the new stone room, here temporarily called the second stone room, a long rope leads to the dark channel. Zuo Qingcang frowned, pulled the rope in his hand, and the rope in the passage in front of him followed.

The old man said inconceivably: “We are back again? Is it really space art?”

If the four channels of the stone chamber are called the front, back, left, and right four channels, the scene in front of them looks like they exited from the left channel of the stone chamber, but came out of the rear channel.

Zuo Qingcang didn’t speak, he silently walked to the place where he had marked before, and there was still nothing on it.

The old man rubbed his Supreme Yang acupoint and said, “Not only is space art, there is something that erases our mark. There is something in this stone room!”

“I do n’t think it ’s necessarily space Taoism. Since you said that it requires huge spirit strength, and you have n’t realized the existence of artificially guided spirit strength, then the possibility of space Taoism should be discussed at the end. . “

Zuo Qingcang touched his chin and said with some confusion: “Let the rope appear in front of us, not without other methods. For example, if the path we walk is a curve, we think we are walking in a straight line, but in fact he It is not impossible to take us around here at an angle imperceptible to ordinary people. “

“The problem is this mark.” Zuo Qingcang looked around all around. “The disappearance of the mark and the emergence of the rope are a set of contradictions that make it difficult for us to determine whether this place is where we were before.”

Until this time, Zuo Qingcang’s mental state remained calm, as if nothing in the world could make him lose his mind. The old man aside, listening to his analysis, seemed to be relieved a little.

“The emergence of this set of contradictions now leads to two possibilities.

The first possibility, this stone chamber, is tentatively called the second stone chamber. It is not in the same place as the first stone chamber before. Someone or something took the rope we left and went around here. If this is the possibility, it also shows that the passage is not a straight line, it may be a curve or even a detour, and together with many stone rooms, form a maze. “

“And if it is the second possibility, it means that the two stone chambers are the same, but something has erased the mark we made. But again, to achieve this possibility, it means that we have bypassed the same A stone chamber shows that the passage here is not linear. “

As Zuo Qingcang said, he pulled his hands and pulled the rope back: “So what we have to do next is to verify that there is no problem with the passage here. If there is a problem, we have found the cause of our disorientation. “

What Zuo Qingcang didn’t say in his heart is that there is actually a more effective way to verify the situation in front of them. They are two separate actions, each holding one end of the rope, and then Zuo Qingcang returns to the first stone room. However, this is tantamount to being separated. In such an ancient tomb, it is too dangerous to act separately, so Zuo Qingcang simply did not say it.

The next two walked into the dark passage, where they wanted to determine if the passage was straight.

Then there is a problem here, how do people determine that they are walking in a straight line? All human movements rely on vision and reference objects around all around to determine distance and position. Once the eyes are closed, they tend to deviate.

Therefore, relying on human beings alone, it is impossible to confirm in the dark whether they are going straight.

But relying on tools is much simpler. Zuo Qingcang and the old man walked again and again, took out the night pearl in their arms and placed them where they passed. Basically, one is placed every 20 steps. When the two people made 200 steps along the aisle, ten night pearls have been placed behind them.

This is also thanks to the time when the two were preparing for the Pearl of the Night, Zuo Qingcang specifically requested to grab a few more.

The old man turned his head and looked, and you can see in the darkness, ten fluorescent light spots are arranged in the darkness, forming a straight line.

Yes, straight, straight, without any slight bend. Seeing this, old man’s face showed disappointment: “There is no problem with this passage.”

Zuo Qingcang nodded: “Then the possibilities that can be conceived for now are only hallucinations and space issues.” But whether it is collective hallucinations or spatial changes, I am afraid they are beyond the scope of their response.

At this time, Zuo Qingcang suddenly thought that if the owner of the ancient tomb was really designed to seal the Emperor Zong, why did he make it so complicated?

He only needs to bury the entire tomb, and even create a few more Breaking Dragon Stones, which are more effective than the complicated maze in front of him. The complex maze in front of me is more like a lock than a seal, a lock that can be difficult for others to enter, but the owner can open it by himself.

‘Do the people who built this tomb consider that one day they can enter this tomb again? If this is the case, then the deepest part of the tomb is not just that simple. There must be something indispensable. ‘

However, Zuo Qingcang thought about it and stopped thinking about it. Compared to guessing what was in the tomb for the two, how to break through this maze in front of the eyes is the most important.

After listening to Zuo Qingcang’s judgment, old man suddenly thought: “In fact, in addition to space and hallucinations, there is another possibility, that is, the channel and the stone room. If they can move, can it also cause this effect?”

Zuo Qingcang immediately understood the meaning of the other party. If these stone chambers and channels formed a large organ similar to a Rubik’s cube, so that the stone chambers and channels were moving in a way that humans could not perceive, then this could indeed be the case.

Zuo Qingcang said while thinking: “Compared to the space Taoism that requires a lot of spirit strength, and the same collective hallucination in the two of us, this is more likely.”

Old man still has something to think about: “But when you move it, what is the law? Why can’t we feel it?”

Zuo Qingcang suddenly remembered: “Remember those Corpse Monsters? If those robbers were also trapped here, why might Corpse Monster return to the entrance?”

“How did the Corpse Monster go back?” Zuo Qingcang frowned. “What makes us different from the Corpse Monster?”
