Chapter 954: Chess Game
"That's amazing, how do you remember the layout on the chessboard?" There were so many chess pieces, I looked at them for a while, but now I think about the chess pieces all over the place, but I find that I can't remember anything, only that there are a lot of chess pieces on it. So how did she do it?
"I have a good memory, as long as it's not too cumbersome, I almost remember it, and I kept an eye on the pieces on the board. It was just a left turn, and when it came to the end, it was a right turn.
"Oh, no wonder. Yang Xianmao looked at Ye Piaopiao with an admiring eye, he didn't think about it at first, he couldn't imagine that a chessboard would have such an effect.
The two said as they walked, Yang Xianmao asked Ye Piaopiao a lot of questions along the way, but fortunately, Ye Piaopiao didn't bother him, and answered so many questions at one time for the first time, and there was no unpleasant friction throughout the whole process.
Pleasant topics are always so easy to end, just like cheerful times, they always feel like they slip away quickly, and they can't stay if they want to. And just like that, they came to the second entrance.
Yang Xianmao pulled the door buckle on the stone door, the door opened, and the two of them entered cautiously, and slowly walked forward a few steps, the sound of the chain of the mechanism.
It's not good, I'm afraid that I stepped on some mechanism, the two couldn't help but tense their nerves, and formed a kind of defense back to back on the left and right. "Bang-" There was a loud sound, and the two looked back at the source of the sound, and the stone door was closed in an instant, it turned out that they had stepped on the mechanism under the floor to control the stone door, once the stone door was closed, it meant that no matter what was waiting for them in front of them, they would have to bite the bullet.
Yang Xianmao walked to the stone gate, because he was holding a torch in one hand, he had to push it with one hand, although it was one-handed, but the force used was not less than two hands, but the stone gate just didn't move a penny, it seemed that the effort was in vain. Now, there is really no way back. Turning around, looking at Shangye Piaopiao's inquiring eyes, Yang Xianmao spread his hands and shook his head.
Ye Piaopiao understood what he meant, and continued to walk forward cautiously with the torch, thinking about what was waiting for him?
It was pitch black all around, only the light of the torch in the center of the fire, which swayed with a hazy sense of secrecy. The two of them opened their eyes wide, not daring to slack off, and their footsteps moved slightly, just like they were careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
The door is spacious, a semi-circular position, there is a passage in the middle, one on each side, a total of three roads, it is too dark, you can't see the situation inside the passage without standing forward, but according to the passage mouth, it should be very narrow, a little wider than a person's space.
"Huh, three roads, how to go?" Yang Xianmao ate a cushion, grew wise, stopped running blindly, and asked Ye Piaopiao's opinion.
Ye Piaopiao didn't answer him, stepped forward, from left to right, holding a torch from the mouth of the passage to shine in, and looked at every road, Yang Xianmao also learned from her, followed her, and looked inside from each passage, except for the position at the mouth of the passage, nothing could be seen, it was pitch black. Not only Yang Xianmao, but also Ye Piaopiao, the road is too narrow, obstructing the line of sight, and the brightness of the torch is insufficient.
"Let's go this way. Ye Piaopiao stopped at the entrance of the passage on the right, holding a torch in one hand and pointing in the direction of the passage with the other.
"Did you see anything?" Chosen so quickly, however, why can't I see anything, Yang Xianmao was puzzled.
"Nothing. β
"Then you still choose this path?"
"Because I happened to be here. Ye Piaopiao glanced at him, her idea was that since she had walked here, and she hadn't found anything, she had to break through, wouldn't it be good to be nearby?
"Okay! I'm really defeating you, I'll go ahead. For the unknown danger, Yang Xianmao didn't want her to bear it, otherwise how could she be called a man.
"Okay, be careful. Ye Piaopiao would not refuse, although he had never trusted any man before, including his father, but he was an exception, with him, there was indeed a sense of reassurance.
In this way, Yang Xianmao walked in front, and Ye Piaopiao walked behind, one after the other in the narrow passage, groping and checking as they walked. Following this road, turn left and right, until they came to a fork in the road, Yang Xianmao stopped, but Ye Piaopiao stared at both sides of the rock wall too seriously, and he didn't expect Yang Xianmao to stop, so he hit his back, and the torch almost burned him. Yang Xianmao was taller, her nose just touched his neck, and the breath she exhaled sprinkled on it, warm, making Yang Xianmao's heart throb.
But it was only a matter of a while, because Ye Piaopiao had already reacted, opened the distance between the two, and asked angrily: "Why did you stop?" In fact, when Ye Piaopiao just touched his back, he felt that his lips were about to be touched, but the feeling of his nose can also make people feel very subtle, such an intimate contact made Ye Piaopiao feel ashamed in his heart, and his face was red.
But because the place was too narrow and the firelight was red, Yang Xianmao didn't notice her abnormality, and thought that she was angry, because she didn't like others to get too close to her, so she hurriedly clarified: "I didn't mean to, I stopped to tell you that there was a fork in the road ahead." β
"Next time I stop, say it in advance. Ye Piaopiao held the torch, staggered Yang Xianmao's body sideways, looked to the left, and then looked to the right, and felt that the road on the left was narrower, so he said, "Take the left one." β
After turning three corners, I finally reached the exit of this road.
"Whewβit's finally coming out, and I'm almost squeezing me inside, and I can't turn my body drastically. Yang Xianmao was the first to come out, as excited as if life had been released.
Ye Piaopiao also walked out and began to look around, looking at all this, he couldn't help frowning, how could this be? Could it be that this is a ......
"Huh, I feel like I've been here. Yang Xianmao held the torch and shone forward, feeling very familiar, and then said in hindsight: "This is the starting point of our beginning, why did you come back here?"
They had just entered from the right passage, and now they had come out of the left passage, so they were back to square one.
"It's a labyrinth of underpasses. Ye Piaopiao's eyes stared back and forth in the direction of the three passages, hoping to find a little clue from them, but unfortunately, there was nothing.
"So how do you get out?"
"The only way to do this is to try one path at a time, and let's continue to finish the other fork in the third path. β
The two entered the right passage again, and when the road forked, they changed to the right one, but eventually came out of the middle intersection and returned to the original point.
Ye Piaopiao suddenly felt very strange, it shouldn't be like this, if you enter from the right, you can come out from the left and the middle, and there is no fork in the road, what does that mean? It means that if you enter from the middle road, you will come out from the right, and if you enter from the left road, it will come out from the right road, or return to the original point, that is, it is impossible to go out at all.
And Yang Xianmao is also obviously aware of this, "We can't seem to get out." β
Ye Piaopiao pursed her lips, feeling very confused, like a sunflower that has lost its sunlight and can't find its direction. Could it be that we're missing something and haven't found some hidden holes?" "Why don't we go in from the left and try it?"
Although Yang Xianmao didn't have much hope after some deductions, he still wanted to try again, it was better than waiting for death, so he nodded and agreed. Fortunately, I tried it, and after trying it like this, I found a new continent, and there was a fork in the road, which was so incredible that it shocked the two of them.
"How can this be?" Yang Xianmao is the most unable to hide his emotions, especially in front of familiar people, he can say whatever he wants, and his surprise is directly expressed.
Ye Piaopiao is different, she seems to be used to hiding her emotions and will not show them on her face, because it is too dangerous for her, so she will only suppress her emotions in her heart. It's really surprising to myself, in this way, it shows a problem, that is, this secret path also has a mechanism, and the mechanism has made it change, and I have to admire the designer of this mechanism, and his mind is so meticulous.
Despite other paths, they walked back and forth several times, and they all ended up back where they started.
"Ahββ, why did you come back again. Yang Xianmao frantically scratched his head with one hand, and the broken hair hanging down his forehead was scratched.
"Behind us, there are masters. Ye Piaopiao suddenly spit out such a sentence softly.
"What do you mean?" Yang Xianmao was stunned by Ye Piaopiao's words, and always felt confused.
"I'll carve a mark into the walls every once in a while, but I find that when I walk over againβ"
"The mark is missing?" Yang Xianmao interrupted Ye Piaopiao's words, thinking that his inference was correct, but it was embarrassing, it was not.
"No, it's that the markings have increased. There will be traces when the marks are erased, but if you make a few more marks, you can confuse others, but at the same time, it also exposes a message, that is, someone has been following you, and there is only one possibility for someone who can be found here, and that is the designer of this mechanism. β
Hearing this, Yang Xianmao felt a big bump in his heart, hissing - there were people by his side all the time, it was a very strange feeling, and it felt terrible to think about it.
"I've figured out a way, you come here. Ye Piaopiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and she made up her mind.
"Okay, you say. Yang Xianmao leaned over a little bit towards Ye Piaopiao.
"Come over again. β
Yang Xianmao moved a little closer to her.
"Lean your ears a little closer. β
Yang Xianmao leaned over slightly and tilted his ears.
Ye Piaopiao whispered in his ear at this time, and his voice was very soft, "Since this is the case, then we ...... like this"
Yang Xianmao praised in his heart, high, really high, and nodded again and again when he heard it.
The two entered one of the roads again, listening carefully to whether there was movement behind them as they walked, and sure enough, there was really a mysterious person behind them, they pretended not to find it, and continued to walk, every time they walked, Ye Piaopiao deliberately carved another mark, which was different from the former, and when they reached the fork in the road, they exchanged glances and each chose a path to go.
