Looking at those familiar cross marks, I was not calm.

Before entering the passage on the right, I marked the top, bottom, left and right.

But as we walked around, we walked back to the marker.

In this case, there is only one possibility, we are lost, or rather, we are always in circles!

In other words, from the moment we enter the labyrinth and encounter a fork in the road, we are repeating the useless road

No matter how we move forward, there is only one result, and that is to return to square one.

In fact, after going through the "Y" shaped passage many times, I actually had some doubts in my heart, so I made the mark.

However, it is one thing to doubt, and quite another to know the outcome.

After walking for such a long time, I have been walking back and forth in the same place all the time, and this kind of blow is not acceptable to anyone.

In addition to this, I found a little.

The channel seems to have the ability to self-heal, and although the marks I carved before were very deep, they have begun to slowly become shallower and self-healing little by little over time.

Within a few minutes, the mark would disappear completely.

If the marks and imprints left behind cannot be preserved, it means that they cannot provide the slightest clue to those who come after.

In other words, in this maze, you have to rely on your own strength, and others can't help at all.

Now we are in a very bad situation, the temperature in the passage is getting hotter and hotter, but we can't find the right way, so we can only go in circles.

If you continue, not only will you have a mental impact, but even your physical strength will drop significantly.

When we can't walk, it means we're stuck here.

The moving labyrinth does not seem to be dangerous, but it is actually a hidden killing machine, and what it is constructed, or what we encounter, is not an attack from demons and monsters, but from mental and physical torture.

When there is a goal and a direction, people will be full of motivation to move forward, and when they lose their goal and direction, they will become hesitant and restless, because you never know where the end is.

At the moment, it is as if we are deep in the vast desert, scorched by the scorching heat, and we cannot find the right way out.

Not only me, but when Wang Gang and the others saw the marks I had made before, they were also confused.

"Brother, this ...... Isn't it the mark you made before?, how can it be here?" Wang Gang's eyes widened, and he had already begun to pant for breath because of the heat.

"Are we coming back again?" Tang Yuying reacted quickly, and immediately thought of it.

"How is it possible?" Liu Meng frowned: "We have been moving forward, how can we go back to the same place?"

"It doesn't have to be a step forward!"

I said calmly: "The left and right roads are not straight and curved, and if the passage is long enough, it is difficult to have an intuitive feeling of turning." ”

"You mean to say...... The passage we entered formed two circles with the two forks on the left and right?"

"Quite possibly!" I nodded, "Only then can we explain why we are lingering in place." Because we've been going around in circles since the beginning. No matter which direction you go, the result is the same, you will go back to the same place!"

"That's not right!"

Wang Gang frowned: "Even if walking back to the original place can be explained by going around in circles, then the temperature in the passage is continuing to rise, what is the situation? If we are walking the same road, the temperature should remain the same, now it is getting colder and colder to the left, and it is getting hotter and hotter to the right, but from the point of view of temperature, it is a little wrong." ”

"On this point, I guess it has something to do with the maze itself. ”

I explained: "Don't forget, the maze is mobile, and for moving the maze, it's not just one layer, it's possible that there are other passages above or below our passage. In other words, there are other things that we can't see, up and down, left and right, or it could be a person who has entered the labyrinth, or it may be a terrifying monster. The maze is too big and too complicated, and any possibility exists. ”

"Actually, if you want to prove whether we are going in circles, there is a more straightforward way. Tang Yuying spoke again: "We are divided into two teams, one team of people waits in place, and the other team continues to move forward, if the people who are advancing after a certain distance finally meet the people who are waiting in place, it proves that we are going in circles!"

"What if there is no rendezvous?" asked Wang Gang.

"There is no rendezvous, which is good news for us and means we have a good chance of going out. Tang Yuying took out a rope from her backpack: "In order to avoid getting lost, the two teams are connected with ropes, if the pathfinders can get out by luck, the people waiting behind can also follow smoothly." ”

"I think it's doable. Liu Yun nodded.

In this case, there is no good way for everyone to choose to give it a try and verify a result.

Because it was Tang Yuying's opinion, she strongly asked to be the one who explored the way ahead, and there was no way, I could only follow her.

Originally, Wang Gang wanted to accompany me, but I refused.

Now Song Qian is very weak, and even walking is a problem, and she must be taken care of by more people.

Liu Meng's center is on Luo Tian, and he is really powerless to let him take care of the three girls alone, so for the sake of insurance, he can only choose to let Wang Gang stay, and Tang Yuying and I will continue to move forward and explore the way.

This time, we chose the right channel again.

Even if theoretically, we may be going around in circles, but the actual result is still uncertain, the most important thing is that every time we encounter a fork in the road, and then choose one to walk into, its temperature will increase significantly.

The one on the left is cold, and the one on the right is scorching.

One is cold and one is hot, one is left and one is right, they are two extremes, like being in the middle of a glacier and a volcano.

If every cycle intensifies, it will be an absolute disaster for us.

Entering the passage on the right again, Tang Yuying and I were both sweating profusely, like a fire, and it was uncomfortable.

If it continues, there is a good chance that we will face symptoms of dehydration.

Fortunately, after many baptisms of life and death, our willpower has been greatly enhanced, even if it is uncomfortable, we can still grit our teeth and endure it.

I flashed my flashlight, held the rope, and walked forward quickly, while Tang Yuying followed behind me.

In this harsh environment, our physical energy is greatly depleted.

The passage was pitch black and hot, and it was twisting and turning, and some small bends had reached 90 degrees.

In the passage, people cannot correctly distinguish the direction, they can only see with their eyes alone, and sometimes the eyes can deceive people.

Perhaps in our sight, we have been moving forward, but the real situation is very likely to be very different from what we see.

After walking for a long time, when I felt frivolous and a little weak, in front of us, at the end of the flashlight, several figures suddenly appeared.

It's Wang Gang!

Seeing this, I couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, we kept going round and round in circles.

Wang Gang and a few people had their backs to us, still watching in front of the passage on the right, while Tang Yuying and I had already appeared behind them.

After saying hello, after seeing us appear from behind, Wang Gang's face was also very ugly.

"It's over! It looks like we really can't get out!" Wang Gang sighed.

"Grass! This maze is really fucking weird!" Liu Meng was furious, the long-term heat, coupled with the desperation of not being able to get out, made everyone unable to control their emotions.

"Since we can't go forward, why don't we go back and try it?"

After Liu Yun thought about it, he said, "Let's go back the same way, how to walk in, how to go out, it should be no problem, right?"

"Seems like a way!"

Wang Gang's eyes lit up: "Damn! let me try it this time!"

As he spoke, Wang just took the rope from my hand and strode back.

Normally, as long as you follow the same path back, you can indeed get out of the maze, but is this really the case?

I didn't stop Wang Gang's behavior, on the one hand, there was a hint of luck, and on the other hand, I wanted to verify a certain idea in my heart.

What we know now is that if you go forward, you will go back to where you came.

At first, I thought that the two forks and the main passage formed a circle, because only then could we explain why we had come back to square one.

However, after thinking about it, I found that there were a few doubts that could not be explained.

First, if the fork is to build a circle and walk back to the main road, then there should be a connection gap between the fork and the main road.

But when we walked back, we didn't see the gap between the fork and the main road.

Because there is only one path ahead of us!

If there is only one road, and then the cycle back and forth, you can also explain the circle of walking, even if there is a fork, there can be no "Y" shape, it should be an "X" shape, similar to the symbol "∞", only in this way can it be possible to have an infinite cycle of two forks.

The "Y" shape of the loop should be a "❤" shape, and then a bar is erected in the middle.

In this case, when the two lanes circulate back to the middle bar, they must intersect.

And when we just walked down, there was no intersection, and there was only one road from beginning to end, and only when we returned to the same place, there were two forks in the road.

After thinking about this, I realized that my previous speculation was very flawed.

And this loophole cannot be explained by common sense at all, or the existence of this "Y" shaped fork is itself a contradiction and should not exist.

But that's how it appeared in front of us.

If nothing else, we can't go out of this road normally, and we have to find another way.

In the labyrinth, there is an unsolvable contradiction, which is absolutely not in line with the rules of the game.

Rules are the foundation of the game, and the game of death is no exception, and if you lose the rules, you can't call it a game.

In other words, it's not that we can't get out, it's that we can't think of the right way to get out.

As for Liu Yun's proposal to go back just now, if nothing else, it is also impossible to go out.

In other words, the way we come in has been blocked by a moving labyrinth, and the passage we exist in is nothing but a contradiction in an endless loop.
