Chapter 214, Paperclip Labyrinth
"What?
Liu Meng was stunned for a moment: "Won't we? We have been moving forward! I don't know how many doors we have passed, how can we stand still?"
"For this question, to be honest, I was also very strange before. I spoke slowly, "But now, I seem to understand a little. Not surprisingly, this hollow-shaped channel has been moving in opposite directions with us!"
"What do you mean by moving in opposite directions?" Liu Meng frowned.
"To put it simply, as we walk, this hollow-shaped passage is also moving. ”
I gave an explanation: "According to my speculation, if you go from the outer circle of the hollow circle to the inner circle, then continue to go forward, the inner circle and the outer circle will change, this change is that the inner circle will expand, and the outer circle will shrink, and the two will invisibly swap a position before, simply put, when you walk into the inner circle and then walk into the inner circle from the inner circle, then the circle of the inner circle is actually the outer circle. ”
"The inner circle and the outer circle, in fact, are always moving, and as we move, keep changing positions, don't forget, this is a moving maze, the conversion of the inner circle and the outer circle, to understand simply, is to take some rooms out of the big circle, fill in the small circle, so that the big circle shrinks, the small circle becomes larger, of course, this is only a superficial understanding, the process is much more complicated. ”
"Wouldn't it?" Liu Meng's brows furrowed even tighter, "If it's really like you say, if these rows of houses move each other, how can I not feel it?"
As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help laughing: "I ask you, can you feel the earth turning? No! So, sometimes things that you can't feel don't mean they don't exist! Besides, this hollow-shaped passage is big enough, and there are enough rooms, because of the limitation of sight, we can only see the tip of the iceberg, and many places are imperceptible to the eye, let alone invisible, and this is the depth of this hollow-shaped labyrinth!"
"It makes you feel like you're pushing the door all the time, but in reality, we're just standing still, like you're running on a treadmill, you're never going forward, you're always confined to the same place, and you're moving in a fixed way over and over again. ”
Listening to me, Liu Meng was dumbfounded: "Could it be that we have really been standing still?"
"Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to go out forever!" I nodded in response.
"What can I do about this?" Liu Meng was anxious: "If the maze keeps moving, won't we have to be trapped here all the time?"
"Not necessarily!"
I shook my head: "If you can't see the truth clearly and don't know how the zigzag maze works, then you may indeed be trapped here, but now that we have seen through the truth, it is not particularly difficult to solve it." ”
"How to solve it?" Liu Meng hurriedly asked.
"The peculiarity of the hollow-shaped maze is that it keeps going back and forth, trapping us in this endless loop. And we, if we want to break this dead loop, we just need to get out of this 'back' word!"
I explained: "Of course, maybe there is more than one 'hui' character, and if you want to be more perfect and more untraceable, two 'hui' characters are the best choice." So I'm now assuming that we're dealing with two superimposed mazes of 'hui' zigzags. ”
"When we go from the outer circle of the word 'Hui' to the inner circle of the word 'Hui', then according to the previous theory, at this time, the outer circle will shrink and turn into an inner circle, and the inner circle will expand and become an outer circle. ”
"So, when we pass through the room of the inner circle, we don't need to go out, we just need to go back the way we came, so that the inner circle becomes the outer circle, and we are equivalent to going outside the circle. Even if there are two loops, the principle is still the same. ”
Hearing this, Liu Meng quickly fell silent, as if he was thinking seriously.
After a while, he spoke: "According to you, if you want to crack this zigzag maze, we just need to go back?"
That's pretty much what it means. I nodded.
"Is it really that simple?" Liu Meng was a little unconvinced.
"Sometimes, some questions are as simple as that. I said, "The real purpose of this zigzag maze is to prevent people from moving forward, not to prevent people from going backwards." The zigzag maze can trap those who are determined to move forward, but it cannot trap those who know how to advance and retreat. ”
"If that's the case, then this labyrinth doesn't seem to have much value in existence, and it won't trap us at all. Liu Meng said.
"Worthless?" I raised an eyebrow, "Then you're wrong! Have you forgotten that we're playing a ghost hunt? The rules of ghost hunting are that we have seven hours to find the imp to win! What happens if the imp hides in a place where we can never go inside?"
"Hiding in a place that you can never walk into?"
Liu Meng frowned and looked at me, then at the row of rooms in front of him, and after a short pause, he suddenly realized: "You mean...... That little imp is hiding in this zigzag labyrinth?"
"You'll find out if you try it or not. ”
I stood up and shouted to the front, "Clap!"
The voice lagged behind, less than three seconds.
Not far in front of us, there was a clear sound of three crisp clapping palms.
After the clapping of palms, there was also a faint sound of laughter.
"It's really in there!"
Liu Meng's face changed instantly: "But if you can't go in the zigzag passage, and the little ghost is hiding inside, how can we find it?"
"That's the problem!"
I sighed: "This hollow-shaped passage should be the center of the maze, and it is also the last test, if it is so easy to walk in, I feel abnormal." ”
"But now that most of the time has passed, it is estimated that it will only be two hours of effort, if you can't think of a way, even if you don't get killed by those ghosts, you will have to be trapped here if you lose the game!" Liu Meng was a little anxious.
The zigzag maze, the two of us have been deeply taught, if you keep going forward, you can't get out at all, only go backwards, can you go outside the maze.
It's just that the problem at hand is that the imp is hidden in the zigzag maze, and if you can't get in, it will be tantamount to losing the game.
Although we have figured out the law of the labyrinth, this problem is fundamentally unsolvable for us, as long as the maze has been moving, ordinary people cannot get out at all, unless they grow wings and fly.
I looked up at the endless layer of smoke, and I always felt that above the smoke, there was far more danger than under the smoke, and I had to discourage the idea of climbing up to find out.
"Hey...... That's not right!"
Just thinking about it, Liu Meng suddenly let out a surprise in surprise.
"What's wrong?" I raised an eyebrow.
"I remember that Tang Yuying had agreed with that little ghost before, that it couldn't be hidden in a place where we couldn't find it, and if that little ghost hid in a zigzag maze that could never be entered, wouldn't that be tantamount to violating the rules of the game that had been formulated before?" Liu Meng looked at me and seemed to ask.
"It seems to be true!" My eyes lit up, "How did I forget this?"
Thinking of this, I immediately turned my head sideways in the direction of the slap before, "You have already heard our conversation, right? Since the rules of the game have been set, we can't play tricks halfway, we can't get into your current hiding place, and we have violated the previous agreement!"
"Hee-hee...... You can't get in, it's because you're stupid!
The boy's dark laughter suddenly rang out: "I only promise that I will not hide in a place that you will never reach, but I did not say that I will not make your search more difficult, so this cannot be considered against the rules of the game." ”
"Isn't that a violation of the rules of the game?"
Liu Meng was a little unconvinced: "You can only retreat and not advance in this paper-shaped channel, there is no solution at all, how can we find it?"
"Hmph, I said, you can't find a way to be stupid!"
The boy's cold voice sounded again: "It doesn't mean that I haven't left you a way to live, if you are not satisfied, I will let those ghosts and wild ghosts in the maze play with you more now!"
With a cold snort, the temperature in the paper maze dropped suddenly, and a gust of yin wind hit us from all directions, freezing our bodies and shivering.
Above us, in the smoke, there were countless hideous faces looming.
