Chapter 181: You can only enter, not out
"I trust your judgment."
In the end, only Baili and Ayou were on my side, walking back with me, Sissy and Baili Xiping seemed to have another goal, I just climbed up, and saw that they didn't look back, and immediately disappeared at the exit of the laboratory.
Baili didn't say anything, didn't even look back at them, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes. I don't know where it is, I always feel a little strange, obviously it's Baili Xiping's grandson, but it's on my side.
After a little detour, I went up the stone staircase, and thousands of steps were placed in front of me, and at first glance, some of my scalp was numb. Baili took the lead and walked up, lying on his shoulder: "Don't worry, this is also what grandfather meant." β
Baili didn't open his mouth coldly, I didn't react for a while, what did the "this" in his mouth mean, and then he added: "Grandfather told us to be careful of Hu Riyue." β
I "chuckled" in my heart, the sissy approached me for revenge at first, and until now, I can't be sure if he still wants to kill me. Could it be that Baili Xiping deliberately clashed with me just now?! In order to make such a scene, act alone with a sissy?!
The point is, how do they notice the strangeness of the sissy?
"What do you mean? What do you want to do? Where are they going? In a hurry, a series of questions popped up.
Baili didn't say a word in front, just walked up, and didn't tell me what he meant. The more this is the case, the more uneasy I feel, what is Baili Xiping going to do? Do you want to do it to a sissy?
It's not impossible.
According to his character, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is his style. It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to spare one.
It's troublesome now, Baili Xiping has been here for decades, even if he is blind, he is quite familiar with some secret passages, where is he going to take the sissy? If these two people have a conflict, the sissy will definitely not be Baili Xiping's opponent, and there is only a dead end.
"Grandfather only believes in you." Just as I was struggling with whether to turn back, Baili turned around and looked at me condescendingly. In the dark. His gaze is also very penetrating, as if he can see through the soul of a person, "So, please believe him too." β
What I believe is Yang Yun......
Baili Xiping's words. Until years later. It has always remained in my mind. It never dispersed. In life, how lucky it is to have such a person who believes in himself unconditionally. Even if he believes in the same you you once were.
"Hmm."
Okay, I believe in him, I believe that he will not do anything that I regret, after all, before I came, the sissy has always been good, if you really want to kill him, this grandfather and grandson, you should have done it a long time ago.
I don't know how long I climbed up, there are countless steps in front of and behind me, but I still don't see the end, and there is no shadow of even the weird statue I saw before.
"What's wrong?" Baili suddenly stopped in front and looked at the wall on the right with a solemn expression.
He pointed to a cross-shaped scar on the wall: "You see, this is a mark I deliberately left a few minutes ago, and no matter how slow I walked, I would have lost sight of it." β
At this time, I was alert, I don't know when, we just entered the state of standing still, no matter how we walked, we stayed in the same place.
"Will it ...... Is it the mark left by the person who came in before ......? I was timid to speak, but I couldn't even convince myself, let alone Baili.
He kept his face calm and vigilant, carefully observing everything in the vicinity, including the fang-like thorns on the top, and he took a flashlight to shine it carefully: "Did this happen again when you came down before?" β
Shake oneβs head. When I came down with Xiao Xiao before, there was almost nothing abnormal, except for the statue and the situation on the left side of the fork in the road, which made people a little concerned, and there was almost nothing special about it.
"You can only enter here, not go out."
I shone the flashlight on it again, squinted and looked at it for a long time, and my mind was racing. What do you mean? Can only enter, not out? And this perverted setting? If you think about it, it may have something to do with the thing on the left side of the fork. The prey sent to the door, of course, can no longer be escaped.
"Baili, do you think the setting of this thing is a bit like an escalator in a department store?" Actually, at first, I thought of the troublesome "Ferris wheel" that I encountered when I escaped from the practice base last time, which is a bit similar to this one, no matter how you go, it will automatically descend one level, and you can't climb out until you die.
If it hadn't been for a ghost-faced man jumping down and jamming the gears for me, I would have died in there.
The current situation is similar to that time, but it is a little different, it only prevents people from climbing up, and it has no effect on going down.
I remember that I once walked a little distance down alone, and when I climbed back, there was nothing abnormal, and I successfully joined Xiao Xiao, which means that the distance between the two of us will not change, but the position of the entire stone staircase will change. In other words, when I was turning back to look for Xiao Xiao, maybe the stone stairs were moving down at that time.
I suddenly remembered the sculpture, and the problem must be over there, that the statue was so wide that it was not used to block the way, but to design the mechanism.
That position is like the position of the escalator to place the treads.
The question is, even if the inference is correct, how do we get there?
Telling Baili these thoughts, he didn't say anything, thought quietly for a while, and finally stopped his eyes on the stone walls on both sides. As mentioned earlier, the stone walls are tattooed with huge reliefs, and there are iron cables nailed to them along the road.
Don't...... He wanted to......
Without saying a word, Baili went directly over and climbed on the stone wall, moving forward with his feet on the iron cable.
Even if the stone ladder can be made into an escalator structure, and some clever mechanisms are added to trap people here, but the wall will not, the walls on both sides are dead, and there is only one way to get out, which is to step on the iron cable and climb forward.
These iron cables are a long time old, rusty, and only one foot goes up, and there are almost signs of disconnection. The soles of my feet are weak, and walking like this is obviously challenging for someone like me who is not very balanced.
Fortunately, the relief carvings along the road are concave and convex, and the palms are tightly clasped, which can be regarded as stabilizing the figure. But to stick to the wall like a gecko and walk on the dangling iron rope at the same time is to let an untrained acrobat go directly to the stage to juggle.
Biting the flashlight in my mouth, my jaw was really sour and numb, and I saw that Baili had already thrown me off a lot.
Fuck it!
He took out the dagger directly, stabbed it into the wall, and with a force, he took a big step out, which was much more stable than just picking at the relief.
Is it a delusion?
Just as I was concentrating on catching up with the footsteps of a hundred miles, I suddenly felt like someone was blowing a breath behind my ears, and my neck suddenly shrank, and I had goosebumps all over my body. (To be continued......)
