Torches stained with diesel fuel.

A long-handled steel fork with a bladed blade.

A group of six people came out from under the white lantern of the village chief's house, and the paper ashes burned under the door hole were like flying white moths, thunder, and basil.

The village head, Luo Jiefang, had no way to personally accompany Chen Pi and Zhao Zimin to find the missing students because of the family's white affairs, so he could only order the juniors in the clan to do their best to search. Torches and steel forks are just in case, after all, it is a deep mountain, and it is very common for wild beasts to be infested, and tigers are rare, but there are still wild boars that can hurt people.

Yin Mountain in the night rain, the cold wind is steep, sinking like a dry grave, and the black pressure of the mountain forest is blown and shaken wantonly, from the inside to the outside are full of secluded forests.

To be honest, Chen Pi didn't eat much for dinner, and he was fat and cold.

"The road on your mobile phone video is too dim for me to see clearly, but if people get lost, in our village, it is likely to be in the direction of the mountain ghost temple." The black strong man who led the team in the village is Luo Jiefang's nephew Luo Erhei, who is an honest mountain man at first glance, with an accent that is not too strong, mixed with some Mandarin pronunciation, and should have worked outside the mountain.

"Mountain Ghost Temple? Is it a place to worship goddesses? Chen Pi asked casually, and at the same time, he turned his head and said to Zhao Zimin, "Teacher Zhao, the class leader mentioned this place to us before he disappeared. ”

"It used to be called the Temple of the Goddess, but now it's not called that, if you look at this mountain, it's all blown up into tofu scum and scum, which god is still willing to protect us as croppers." Luo Erhei's tone was very lonely.

"Bomb the mountain?" This sentence reminded Chen Pi of the loud noise when he first entered the village.

"Yes, in fact, it is to mine stones and burn bricks to supply the outside of the mountain, so many high-rise buildings in the city are built up by the mountains where we live a small life."

Smack.

Smack.

The group was all feet in the mud, the rain splashed, and the trouser legs were soaked.

I don't know how long I walked, Chen Pi took out his mobile phone wrapped in a plastic bag and looked at the time.

00:13。

The signal in the upper right corner of the screen shook, then suddenly dropped from 4G to 3G, then shook again, became 2G, and finally, even half a bar of signal was gone.

"Mr. Zhao, do you still have a signal on your mobile phone?"

"Huh?"

"It looks like it's gone."

"And my phone is running out of battery."

Soon.

A looming stone temple appeared in the downhill direction illuminated by the flashlight.

"It's almost there, and then turn four corners is the mountain ghost temple, we are seven up and eight down in the mountain, the left is coiled and winding, no one understands, it's really easy to get lost." Luo Erhei said innocently.

However.

After one turn, a second bend appears in front of you, and after the second bend, a third bend appears in front of you...... The four bends that were clearly said to be good, but Chen Pi and his party walked a lot, and walked countless bends.

Before the crossing, there is a song called the eighteen bends of the mountain road.

That's definitely more than eighteen turns.

Chen Pi held a flashlight and shone in the direction of the stone temple, there was still a faint shadow, and after turning a corner again, he finally couldn't help but complain: "Brother Erhei, what kind of bend is it called a bend when we go to Luotang?" How long do you have to go? Teacher Zhao and I came out to find the missing classmates, and we didn't dare to get lost. ”

In fact.

Although Chen Pi said this, none of the five next to him were stupid, the road was like this, there must be a problem, Luo Erhei, who led the team, held a torch and looked around: "That's right, the direction I went must be right, I shouldn't be turning all the time." ”

"Or ...... Let's go back and try it? ”

An equally innocent villager suggested that the flashlight and torch shine behind him, and it was almost the same curve, with a bend in front and a bend in the back.

It's like walking into an endless loop.

The night rain did not stop.

Under the muddy water, he didn't dare to stagger the mountain road and go down the side directly, and he could roll into the palace of Hades without paying attention.

"Teacher Zhao, let's go back and try it?" Luo Erhei discussed it with Zhao Zimin, after all, he was a teacher from a big city, and he was still very respected.

"Listen to the two black brothers." Zhao Zimin touched the rain on his cheeks, in fact, his back was already soaked in cold sweat, but he always took care of the teacher's image, and he couldn't show his timidity in front of Chen Pi, a student.

A group of six people.

With torches and steel forks, he turned around and walked back.

The mountain road was slippery and slippery, and as he walked, Chen Pi found that his sense of direction seemed to have been lost, and after only two or three turns, he couldn't tell whether he was walking back or towards the mountain ghost temple.

"Brother Erhei, are we walking in the direction of the village?" Chen Pi couldn't help but ask.

Luo Erhei walked in front with a steel fork and shook his torch: "I, I, I think so." ”

Just think?

Chen Pi exhaled, squinted the ghostly dead fish eyes, his skull exploded a little, his scalp tingled for a while, and the road under his feet had to remind him of a legend often told by the old generation.

Ghost hits the wall.

It's a bend that can never be turned out.

Bend after bend.

Your own bad luck is off the charts, and this is the beginning? Or rather...... Started early?

Concentrating, Chen Pi began to think about how to solve the problem in front of him and get out of this dilemma, according to science: the so-called ghost hitting the wall, that is, at night or in the suburbs, people will not be able to walk out in a circle. This phenomenon is first and foremost real, and many people have experienced it. Because there is a slight difference in the length of a person's feet, if you keep walking without a sense of direction, you will fall into a circle with a radius of about 5 km.

In a word, the essence of biological motion is circular motion, and if there is no goal, the instinctive motion of any living thing is circumferential.

There are several directions for scientific solutions: focus on opening your eyes wide, ask passers-by, find the North Star, use the compass, and put on some music to give yourself courage......

Chen Pi raised his head and looked at the dark night sky, then looked at the five people around him who were already stunned, took out his mobile phone, clicked on the compass function, and the needle that was supposed to point to the north kept spinning, just like crazy.

It's really, it seems that I can only play music to give myself courage.

The more you walk, the more solemn the expression on Chen Pi's face becomes, and you can't walk out of a circular motion on such a narrow mountain road.

Hunger and cold, full of weariness.

I can't be trapped in this bend all the time, I can't get out, I don't have a ghost to eat myself, and I can die of exhaustion when I'm tired.

Out of the corner of Chen Pi's eyes, he had already seen Zhao Zimin dialing a distress call, but he couldn't dial anything, all of them couldn't be connected.

Knowing that this was the result, Wang Fei should have called for help when he was missing.

One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred.

No amount of money is useless.

If you can't get out, you can't get out.

The honest villagers had done their best, Chen Pi felt that he was afraid that he could only rely on himself at this time, so he secretly made up his mind, and then stopped: "Brother Erhei, Mr. Zhao, let's stop for a while, I don't think we can go on like this anymore." ”

"We should have a ghost hitting the wall."

"Continue to go around in circles, I can't get out in this life, so I can only find another way to break this illusion. Just stand where you are and don't go, wait for me, and don't move anyone. ”

"Brother Erhei, lend me the steel fork."

snatched the steel fork from Luo Erhei's hand, and Chen Pi held the flashlight and was about to slip down the steep slope on the side.

"Nonsense!"

"Chen Pi, you come back for me." Zhao Zimin shouted, but it was too late.

The tangerine peel has slipped down through the muddy water.

When he stepped on it for the first time, Chen Pi felt panicked and slipped...... Almost at the same time, the blood-colored interface in the skull, the position of the skill bar, fluorescent flashed.

【Ding.】 】

[The system prompts that the host is in danger of life, do you use the skill 'snakeskin positioning'?] 】

Isn't this nonsense?

It's all life-threatening, can you not use it!

Decisive choice is.

The snake character in the skill bar instantly began to move for seconds, and then Chen Pi's fat body bones seemed to be taken over, and suddenly became flexible.

His feet were no longer slippery, the road was not steep, and the branches and branches that kept flashing in front of him did not feel that they were obstacles, and his whole person was like a slippery snake, and he walked down the muddy slope with great coquettishness.

It's really going down.

It's not rolling down.

【Ding.】 】

[The system teaching has ended, and there will be no reminders next time, so please decide the use of skills by the host.] 】

Looking at the system interface in the braincase, the snakeskin move skill, the second has passed, and it should be about 15 seconds to be able to use it again.
