Tomb Raider: From the Dragon Ridge Cave

"Who hit your fat grandpa? Ouch, it hurts so much......."

The fat man cursed loudly, and was hit by the black donkey hoof of Big Gold Teeth. He was stunned and screamed in pain.

Big Gold Teeth realized that he had hit the fat man, and he was immediately embarrassed. He looked around to see if there was any place to hide...

Shirley Yang was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help laughing, which was very beautiful.

The fat man was hit hard in the eye by the black donkey hoof of Big Gold Teeth, and his eyes were swollen like a panda, just like a fat panda.

"Damn it, which rat is plotting against me behind my back? Get out of here!"

The fat man's angry howl made Da Jin Ya tremble. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and hid behind Qin Yan secretly...

Hu Bayi was also confused. Could it be some mechanism or ghost?

""Hurry up, there seems to be something strange about this stone staircase."

Hu Ba urged the fat man and walked up the stairs in two steps...

However, they had only walked a short distance up when they ran into Qin Yan and Shirley Yang.

""Shit, why are you here?!"

Hu Bayi was confused. He clearly remembered that he went up first, and Qin Yan and the others were below him.

How did he suddenly run above them?

The other people were also completely confused and couldn't explain it, but fortunately they were together again and didn't have to worry about getting separated.

The fat man was already exhausted from climbing so many stairs, and was hit by a black donkey hoof by Big Gold Teeth, making his breathing heavy and rapid, wheezing like a broken bellows.

"That's it. There must be something fishy in this stone staircase. I don't know what hit me on the head just now. I'm still dizzy now."

The fat man said after taking a few breaths.

Big Gold Teeth didn't dare to speak, and subconsciously moved two steps behind Qin Yan.

He secretly pulled the tail of Qin Yan's clothes, as if to ask him not to tell the blunder just now.

Qin Yan didn't bother to care about these.

Big Gold Teeth secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qin Yan didn't speak, and changed the subject:

"Uncle Hu, Uncle Fatty, Uncle Qin just said that this stone staircase is in a continuous loop, both up and down. Now, whether we go up or down, we can't reach the end.……"

When the fat man heard this, he sighed and said,"This is a ghost wall. It's absolutely true. We can never get out. We can only be trapped here and wait for the next group of tomb robbers to come and collect our bodies."

Hu Ba thought for a long time and asked Da Jin Ya,"We are in this ancient tomb, just like hitting a ghost wall. No matter which way we go, some things will pop up inexplicably. Mr. Jin, have you heard of the ghost wall?"

Seeing that the incident of hitting the fat man was over, Da Jin Ya stood up and said:

"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. There was a commotion on Di'anmen Street back then, and people nearby were afraid to cross it at midnight, or they would wander around until dawn and still not be able to get out of that street."

The fat man shouted,"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong, we must have run into a ghost wall!"

But the big gold tooth shook his head, disagreeing with him:

"We are not encountering a ghost wall, right? I heard that a ghost wall is just going around in circles, how can it be so serious? Besides, we are wearing so many protective instruments, how can we encounter a ghost wall?"

Hu Bayi also thought so, and felt a pain in his head.

It seems that he has thought of something, but he can't figure it out, which is quite uncomfortable.

Qin Yan knew that Hu Bayi would eventually analyze it, but seeing that he was so uncomfortable, he just said it directly.

"This should be the legendary Soul-hanging Ladder, but its design principle has been lost for thousands of years. Today, many mathematicians and scientists are still obsessed with it and want to crack it."When everyone heard Qin Yan say this, they all looked at him with curiosity.

Qin Yan continued:"There is a view that this is actually a digital hypnosis method. The person who set it up deliberately left a sign or digital information to confuse the people who enter it."

"However, mathematicians do not think so. They think this is a complex digital model. When you are in it, it looks like there is only one staircase, but in fact it leads to many places.……"

At this point, Qin Yan paused.

The crescent-shaped gap had been removed by Wang Canghai, and replaced by a snake-browed bronze fish.

Qin Yan changed his words and said,"The snake-browed bronze fish is a trap. It is actually gradually deviating on the steps. In addition, these steps and stone walls are coated with an ancient secret recipe, which is a paint that absorbs light, making it even more difficult to distinguish the direction."

"The snake-browed bronze fish completely attracts our attention and makes us remember it deeply, which will cause people to make mistakes in logical judgment. They think they are walking in a straight line, but in fact they have unknowingly taken a fork in the road, and they go around in circles on the fork in the road, and finally completely lose their sense of direction."

"Look at these steps, the height difference is very small, it may be designed to give people the illusion of height difference."

Everyone was enlightened as if the clouds had been cleared.

However, Hu Bayi raised a key question:"How did Wang Canghai make us find a snake-browed bronze fish every time we walked around?"

This question was also the point that Qin Yan couldn't figure out.

He had not mentioned the Hanging Soul Ladder before because he was thinking about this problem.

Qin Yan expressed his guess:"Maybe Wang Canghai designed a certain mechanism, and every time we walk around, we will trigger that mechanism and update the snake-browed bronze fish." The final result can only be a guess, and the actual situation may only be known by Wang Canghai himself.

After all, Wang Canghai is a Feng Shui genius who appears once in a thousand years. Nothing is impossible. The Hanging Soul Ladder modified by him can be more perfect and hidden.
