DAY 60 LOOKING
After a moment of confusion, I decided to go again.
Soon, it was back to the intersection that split in two. This time I decided to take the right path.
But I still went around.
Don't...... Was there a problem at the previous fork?
This time I chose the middle of the three-way street.
But after a few steps, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The two roads that would go around back suddenly seemed to be exactly the same in the second half of the road...... And that exactly the same road somehow makes people feel very caring......
Or...... Let's see if you can find anything? I always feel like I'm holding a piece of something in my heart if I leave it like this, and it's very uncomfortable.
Eventually, I turned around and went back. Go back to the intersection that was split in two, and deliberately go to the exact same road to take a closer look.
But in fact, the exact same distance is just a short turn, nothing can be found at all, and there seems to be no mechanism.
Is it my delusion? ……
But I just didn't want to give up, and I went back to the intersection that was divided in two, and this time I didn't rush in, but looked for something at the intersection.
Sure enough, at the top of the interval between the two intersections, I found a small wrench or something embedded in the wall.
I was only looking at the ground before, and I didn't think about taking a picture of it at all......
With a slight flick of the wrench, I heard a "click" from the road not far ahead.
And it seems that the road on the left hand side is a little louder.
So I cautiously grabbed my flashlight and started walking down the left-hand side of the road. Sure enough, halfway through the road, I felt that this path was different from the original.
Where does it lead? I had a faint anticipation in my heart that this was really the way to another aerial walkway.
After walking a little further, there was a two-choice intersection in front of me.
I took a picture up, and there was nothing at the top of the space. Ah, didn't you go around again......
So should we go left or right this time?
Before I could make my choice, suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps in front of the road on the right.
I immediately discreetly turned off my flashlight and quickly hid in a corner in the middle of the interval that was not easily noticed.
After a while, someone really came out of the road intersection on the right, and a flashlight beam shone out from the road crossing, but unfortunately the beam was so strong that I couldn't see who was holding the flashlight.
At this time, as if God was helping me, none of the people holding the flashlight held it steadily, and the flashlight fell to the ground, and the beam of light bounced on the ground and swept over the person's face in an instant. However, it also scared me into a cold sweat, because the beam also swept over my position, but fortunately, the owner of the flashlight was busy picking up the flashlight and did not notice me.
But if the side face I just saw is correct-it's actually Xiaomo?!
What is she doing here? …… Hey, wait, if she's here, does that mean Ono wasn't kidnapped by her? Because Ono isn't with her right now, huh? ……
No, it's been so long, and it's enough time to hide someone's words, but you still can't rule out her suspicion because of this......
Still, if you know where the place she just came out leads to, maybe you'll know something.
I continued to hold my breath in place, carefully observing Mo's next move.
Ink picked up the flashlight, shone it around a little—almost swept me again—and left the fork in the road I had come. Before leaving, I took a picture of the stalker, as if to make sure there was no stalker--the sudden movement made my heart tense. But fortunately, she just took a hasty photo and hurried away.
As soon as she was gone, I couldn't wait to get into the right intersection where she came out. There was an arc-shaped tunnel ahead, and although there were no other intersections, the ground was designed to go uphill and downhill for a while, and it was very smooth, so it was very physically demanding to walk, and I started to run out of breath after a while.
Luckily, I saw a bright light coming from ahead of me - it was an exit!
I almost ran to the exit, and I was so excited that I couldn't wait to see another rope bridge walkway with chains and planks.
But the reality is that there is another dead end ahead. It's just that there is a big hole that has been opened up, looking at the depth and size, it should be made into the shape of a well in the yard, and there seems to be an iron railing above the well, so the light shining through the well is not cut into pieces, but it still does not reduce the brightness of the light.
I went up to investigate, and found that this time it really seemed to be just a dead end, and there was nothing special around. So what is Xiaomo doing here just now?
No, there must be something I missed, so I didn't find the mechanism here......
I frowned, and glanced back at the strangely designed tunnel opening.
In other words, why is the road in that tunnel designed to go up and down repeatedly and uphill? ……
Contact the wells here...... Is it to prevent water leakage? Is it the kind of slope that uses layers of uphill slopes to block the water stored there? ……
So why not just seal this hole...... No matter how high the slope is, if there is water inside, it will still be exposed...... Not only does it not serve a good storage role, but it also limits the water level. And once it is exposed, it is very difficult to scoop back the water, what a waste......
So why is it designed this way? Is there anything here that wasn't in the secret passages before? So much so that such an amazing design is needed?
I looked around carefully, pondering, but I couldn't figure it out, and my hands subconsciously touched up and down the walls around me. Suddenly, I noticed something very unnatural.
――If this is a well, why is there no moss on the walls next to it?
I touched it carefully, and it was really a very smooth stone wall, but there was really no damp moss at all. This is really strange, because even if the well is dry, the traces of moss that used to grow in it are not so easy to get rid of, right? But there is no trace of this here......
Could it be that the design of the ramp has nothing to do with water? So what are the other possibilities for such a design? ――Obviously, this kind of complicated slope is very troublesome to build and walk. But the designer will not add this kind of thing to the building for no reason, it must have a special meaning for its existence.
What exactly am I overlooking?
That's when I suddenly thought of something.
Anyway, I think I've seen this kind of multiple slopes somewhere...... It's true that I have a faint impression, but why can't I suddenly remember where it is?
The more you try to remember, the more blurry it becomes. But this feeling of repeating up and down seems to have been felt more than once, and it is like some kind of memory imprinted in the body, so familiar that it can be reflected even if you don't need a brain.
Yes! Wait a minute! Isn't that just-
