Just when we were about a dozen paces away from the coffin, I suddenly stepped on something, and I heard a "click", and suddenly all the stalactites made a sharp whistling sound, and then began to fall from the ceiling one after another - one even fell directly to my feet, less than a few centimeters away from the top of my head.

My brother and I were shocked. Just when I was extremely panicked and was about to subconsciously run back, my younger brother suddenly grabbed my hand: "Don't run around!" At this time, running around will definitely be stoned to death! Then he pulled me and began to calmly dodge the various types of stalactites that fell near the spot, while reminding me to use one hand to protect my head.

Soon, the stalactites in a small area of our house were gone, and my brother naturally noticed it immediately. After looking up in the confusion to see if it was big enough to stand the two of us, he pulled me a few steps and stood there.

We were back to back, my brother whispering a reminder not to run around, and just stood waiting for the "surprise attack" to pass.

I nodded, holding my breath and looking at everything that was still in chaos in front of me—the stalactites that had been incredibly beautiful just a moment ago had now turned into dusty and crumbling stones of all sizes. Fragile as a newborn baby that can't help but touch.

And I blame it all on me, I have repeatedly reminded my brother to be careful, but when I walk, I have been so distracted that I have ruined such a large group of gorgeous stalactites, which are estimated to have existed for hundreds or thousands of years to form such a scale, and I have never seen such a shocking and gorgeous beauty in various scenic spots that have been discovered and protected. It was ruined by my carelessness.

"Sister, have you found out? We may have been the first to enter this stalactite cave after designing this cemetery. My brother suddenly said something from behind me.

"Huh?" I was still immersed in self-blame, and I didn't turn the corner.

"You see, once this mechanism is activated, it will cause the stalactites to fall naturally. But stalactites can't grow to this size in days, months, or years, so we're probably the first people to discover and come here. The younger brother pointed to the stalactites that were still "crackling" and falling not far away, while one sideways dodged a small flying piece of rubble.

"Ahh Since it was me standing behind my brother, I was unfortunately hit by a piece of rubble.

"Ah...... I forgot you're right behind me, hehehe......" My brother quickly came back to his senses to see if I was smashed.

"It's okay...... But is it possible that someone has already come in? However, they didn't activate the mechanism. That's why stalactites didn't fall? "I raised my hand so my brother didn't have to worry.

"It's probably impossible. If this mechanism could have been avoided, then the setting up of this mechanism would be completely pointless - the mechanism itself existed so that people would not have approached the coffin just now, and if it was so easy to 'get through this mechanism without activating it', it would be better not to go to such great lengths to design such a dispensable mechanism in the first place. The younger brother shrugged his shoulders and said.

The analysis makes quite sense. I have to say that after listening to my brother's arguments. I did feel a little better—maybe it wasn't because of my carelessness that the stalactites fell. Maybe it's really that they were designed like this in the first place. It can't be avoided.

"But I feel like I accidentally stepped on something to activate this mechanism, but you're the one who walked in front and led the way, huh? Why didn't you activate it? Does this mean that this mechanism can still be 'avoided'? "I thought of another point that I couldn't figure out.

"It's simple, because I just didn't happen to be there. But even if I missed it. There must be more traps ahead of me, and I can't have been so lucky enough to get through them all and get to the coffin with ease - even if I hadn't triggered them, I'd have triggered them. The younger brother replied without thinking, "The designer of the mechanism can't have just set you up with a trigger point. And as far as I can see, the closer you are to the coffin, the denser the trigger point will definitely be. This will always trigger the mechanism, and there is no such thing as 'avoiding' or 'avoiding'. ”

And then I noticed something very strange -

"Wait...... Yu Luo?! I pointed in a certain direction with some uncertainty and trembling, "You see...... The coffin seems to be gone?! ”

……

It's really gone. In our rush to avoid the falling boulders, the coffin, which had been quietly placed on the ground, suddenly disappeared without warning.

It has to be said that in an almost dark space, this discovery adds a touch of oppressive weirdness to the atmosphere at the moment.

It is impossible for the coffin to "go" by itself, could it be that someone took advantage of our inattention to move it away? Or is there any mechanism that can detect an illegal break-in signal and automatically hide it somewhere?

It feels like it's ridiculous...... So where the hell did the coffin go? How are we going to get it back?!

It made me regret it even more and blame myself for activating the damn mechanism.

"It should be underground." The younger brother suddenly pointed to the flat ground and said, "I guess there was a specially dug hole under the stone slab under the coffin at the beginning, and once the stalactite was activated, the coffin would automatically fall into the hole under the stone slab, creating the illusion of 'disappearing'." ”

"And because there are stalactites that are constantly falling, the sound of the coffin falling will not be particularly abrupt - otherwise why don't the stalactites be designed to fall all at once? Obviously, the chance of stoning the intruder to death is higher. Otherwise, you see, if we dodge like this, we can actually dodge the attacks of these 'stone henges'. ”

"Obviously, because the time when the coffin fell was certainly inconsistent with the time when the stalactites fell, it was impossible to calculate how deep the pit under the coffin had to be dug to ensure that the two sides fell exactly the same time - not to mention how high the technical requirements were required to eliminate various unstable factors and improve the accuracy of the fall to the highest level."
