Chapter 77: The Mystery of the Sphinx

The night is like ink, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, sprinkling silver moonlight on the earth, but there is no starlight around, the real stars retreat, the bright moon in the sky, looks quite weird, because there has never been a clear sky but only the moon, no stars.

And under the moonlight, there is a path that has no end to its end, with a forest surrounded by rusty barbed wire on one side, a 'residential building' surrounded by mottled brick walls on the other, and in the middle stands Makoto Chiba, who has been trapped here for an unknown amount of time.

He tried many methods, but he couldn't get out of it, whether it was to climb over the wall into a dark seven-story building or an equally dark forest.

Chiba Makoto considered using the Divine Light Stick more than once to see if he could force himself out, but in the end he gave up.

First of all, this must be a different dimensional space, and Diga does not have the ability to shuttle through another dimensional space, if he fails to rush out in three minutes, he will lose the last and strongest hole card, if he runs out of ability and turns back into a human, the witch appears, but it is terrible, there is really no ability to resist at all.

So after thinking about it again, Chiba Makoto still decided to give up the transformation for the time being, and think of other ways first, but it really didn't work, and then transform into Diga at the last moment and try to rush out.

After walking back and forth many times, Chiba Makoto found that he could only walk forward for three minutes forever, and he couldn't go back, which was exactly the same as the situation after he became Tiga, there was no way back, he could only move forward.

Go ahead?!

Chiba Makoto seemed to realize something, suddenly raised his head, looked at the rusty barbed wire in front of him and the forest so dark that he couldn't see a little light, and then turned his head to look at the left and right, a street lamp illuminated the long path, and it was natural for people to turn left or right when they came to the intersection, because there were lights but there was only this road.

"There is no way back, there is no left or right choice, only forward, and only forward." His forehead murmured in a low voice, and he took a step away from his legs, which had not moved for a long time, and strode forward, without any hesitation, and directly 'bumped' into the rusty barbed wire.

Step out, but as if you have crossed into another world, the surrounding environment has changed drastically, and the familiar scenery such as barbed wire, asphalt paths, street lamps, and white walls disappear in an instant, and are replaced by a seemingly endless dark forest.

Apparently he had solved the mystery of the Sphinx and left the intersection of the infinite loop, yes, Chiba Makoto thought that the road just now was exactly the same as the mystery of the Sphinx: four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night, the most incompetent animal when it had the most legs, but the puzzle was the solver himself.

The mystery of the Sphinx, if you only focus on the riddle, you can never solve it, and only by 'knowing yourself' will you suddenly realize it.

Just like just now, Chiba Makoto suddenly found that the road under his feet was actually the road he took after becoming Tiga, and in three minutes, there was no choice, only to stride forward without hesitation and achieve the final victory, in order to break this reincarnation.

Standing in the forest, looking back, there are no high walls and barbed wire, the silence is incomparable, I can't hear any sound, look up, the big trees only have branches, no leaves, but the branches are bent at a very strange angle, and the end is like a palm open, at a glance, it looks like a person with teeth and claws, which is completely different from the common trees.

Standing in the middle of these very strangely shaped trees, coupled with the terrible silence around them, makes people feel creepy, and unconsciously get goosebumps.

"Where is this?" Chiba Makoto felt that his legs seemed to be a little trembling because he had walked for too long, he had just solved the mystery of the Sphinx and walked out of the looping path, but it seemed that he did not return to the real world, but instead entered a deeper extradimensional space.

So is this the place where Kilamb lived?

Looking up at the sky, the darkness is still there, there is no starlight, only a moon that looks like a pumpkin head hangs, and now it is almost certain that he who has solved the 'puzzle' has indeed entered the territory of Kilamb.

Makoto Chiba took a deep breath, carefully avoided the branches, and walked towards the large shadow that looked like a hill.

He was not far from the edge of the forest, and soon went out to the foot of the hill, which was not very high, nor too steep, and could be easily climbed.

Along the way, there is not a single plant or tree in sight, and there are some small and delicate stone statues that fall to the ground, some are completely exposed, and some are half-buried in the soil, which shows that these stone statues were not discarded at the same time.

I was suspicious, so I simply stopped, walked over, took out a flashlight from my backpack, and turned it on to the stone statue, only to see that it was a stone sculpture of a child about ten years old, and the skills were very exquisite, even every hair and eyelashes were carved clearly, just like a statue that a child had become.

Just glanced at it, the frightened expression on the stone carving's face scared Chiba Makoto so much that he almost didn't throw the flashlight, and retreated again and again, one accidentally tripped over something, and almost didn't fall to the ground, and when he looked back, it was a stone statue half-buried in the soil, with long braids, like a drowning person stretching his hands up, and it was her right arm that tripped up.

"I'll go!" Chiba Makoto jumped to the side with a pale face, away from these stone statues, his heart 'bang!' Bang! 's non-stop.

In the silence and darkness, there were so many lifelike stone statues around, and their faces were distorted, and the movements they made were also painful struggles, which was more terrifying than staying in the cemetery.

In particular, Chiba Makoto thought that Kilambo would 'kidnap' many children around the world with populace every year, so could these stone sculptures be those that disappeared...

Thinking about it like this, Chiba Makoto felt even more terrifying, and always felt that in the darkness around him, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him.

"Don't be afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of, I'm Ultraman, what's so scary." Chiba Makoto kept encouraging himself, not thinking about saving electricity at all, and using a flashlight to illuminate the road ahead, probably because of the cold at night, his body was shivering all the time, and the light pillar of the flashlight was also shaking.

The flashlight shining everywhere occasionally shook the stone statues with different expressions and movements around them, which made Chiba Makoto feel even worse.

At that moment, the uncontrollable afterglow caught a dark shadow moving on the left-hand side.

Move?

Chiba Makoto immediately turned the flashlight and said loudly, "Who?" Come out for me! ”

The voice was louder than ever, and if it didn't tremble, it was even more intimidating.
