Chapter 63: The End and the Beginning (End of Volume 1)
Zhou Kesheng let out a long breath: "The nightmare that has plagued me for so many years is finally over, I can finally sleep well, and I can no longer sense its existence." Then a smile of relief appeared on his face.
Xiao Ling suddenly felt a little fooled, and couldn't help but say: "Dean Zhou, it turns out that you are looking for the Pisces Jade Pendant, not to help me, but to help you solve the hidden dangers in your body." ”
He suddenly thought that although he saw the big black iron ball this time, according to Zhou Kesheng, it was the Pisces Jade Pendant Device, but the problem of death caused by the miserable white hand that he wanted to solve was solved?
He was at a loss for this, at least he only saw a clone crawling out of Zhou Kesheng's body, and he, Xiao Ling and the others, didn't seem to have changed, let alone the so-called clone.
This old guy is just deceiving himself from beginning to end?
Xiao Ling was a little annoyed, and was about to say something more, when suddenly there was a sound in the distance.
The sound came suddenly, and everyone was startled and immediately looked at it together.
In this valley of death, life is cut off, is there any other life?
Everyone noticed the place where the sound had just come from, bypassed a rock in front of them, and soon found that behind the rock, there were more than a dozen people lying on the ground, but most of them were covered by the wind and sand, and they were as embarrassed as they were.
"This ...... This ......"
Suddenly seeing this person all over the ground, Xiao Ling and the five people were dumbfounded, their faces were full of weirdness, like ghosts.
Li Zhibao, Sun Tao, Pang Yan, Song Jifu, Qin Yang, Liu Guangsheng......
Everyone looked all the way, and there were eighteen people lying on the ground, and they were members of the scientific expedition team that had died before.
The entire team of twenty-five people, except for Wang Weiguo and Zhang Shuang, the other twenty-three people actually gathered here at this moment.
In addition to them, there were several backpacks on the ground that were mostly covered by the wind and sand, which were the camping backpacks filled with various supplies such as food and fresh water that they had lost during their escape from the Underworld.
The people on the ground woke up one after another, and found themselves lying here, and they were also surprised, and asked each other about each other.
Xiao Ling and the five of them were stunned, only to feel a chill on their backs, and they were terrified.
Originally, they thought that when these eighteen people woke up, they would become powerful monsters like Wang Weiguo and Zhang Shuang before, and they would attack them, but soon everyone realized that these people were different, they were just the same as before, they were all ordinary people, and they did not turn into those ghostly monsters.
"This ...... What the hell is going on? Could it be that everything we have experienced before has turned out to be just a dream? Xiao Ling couldn't understand what was happening in front of him, which was completely beyond the scope of his thinking and understanding.
Zhou Kesheng was thoughtful, and Yu Tingting frowned, as if she was thinking about something.
Hu Shengzhe's face was covered with sweat, and Wang Lei's eyes widened, constantly wiping his mouth and chin.
"Was everything underground an illusion before? Or is it that Pisces Jade Pendant has reproduced everyone? Xiao Ling looked at Li Zhibao in front of him, looked at Sun Tao, and looked at all the people, only feeling a buzzing in his head and couldn't understand it.
If it is an illusion, why did Wang Weiguo and Zhang Shuang disappear, are they really dead?
If they are truly dead, representing everything they have experienced before, and not hallucinations, then these people in front of them are all clones?
Hu Shengzhe and Wang Lei asked Li Zhibao and Song Jifu about their experiences, and found that everyone's experience was exactly the same as what they remembered, the only difference was that they all thought that they were not dead, and everyone went to the end together.
Hu Shengzhe also talked about his own experience, when it was said that Li Zhibao and Sun Tao and others had died, Li Zhibao and Sun Tao and others shook their heads continuously, but said that except for the missing Wang Weiguo and Zhang Shuang, the other twenty-three people, no one else died, they found the Pisces jade pendant together, and then fell into a coma, and when they woke up, they lay here, the main experience is roughly the same, but it is not the same in many details.
"This ...... What's going on? Is what we're going through real, or is what you're going through real? Hu Shengzhe couldn't help but shout loudly.
Yu Tingting said suddenly: "What we have experienced and what they have experienced are true. ”
Yu Tingting's words made everyone stunned and looked at her together.
Hu Shengzhe muttered: "Less, what do you mean by this." ”
Yu Tingting's face was a little pale, and she said, "Maybe from the moment we entered this underground crack, Pisces Jade Pendant completely copied the people and space, including us. ”
"Completely copied, even the space copied?" Wang Lei's heart sank.
Yu Tingting nodded and said: "Yes, in order to facilitate everyone's understanding, I will call it space A and space B, in these two spaces, there are our existence, in space A, twenty-five of us, died one after another, and finally only five of us arrived and finally saw the black iron ball, which then caused an explosion, and the five of us lost consciousness, and after waking up, we appeared here." ”
Xiao Ling said: "What about the twenty-five people in Space B?" Do you mean that the twenty-five people in this B space, who did not die, also saw the black iron ball, and then appeared here? ”
Wang Lei said: "No, what happened to Wang Weiguo and Zhang Shuang?" If, according to what you say, they should also be alive, and why can they die twice. ”
Yu Tingting said: "Regarding the two of them, I guess that maybe for some reason that we can't understand, they who should belong to space B have entered space A again, so for us in space A, they who should have died have reappeared again, which is equivalent to two of them in space A, but in the end they both died." ”
As the crowd listened to her explanation, some were thoughtful, some shook their heads slightly, and some said they couldn't understand.
Xiao Ling said suddenly: "There is a huge loophole in this conjecture, assuming that the five of us experienced the events of space A, and in the end, only the five of us were left alive to come to the ground, and Professor Li, who was standing in front of us, experienced the events of space B, but according to what Professor Li said just now, except for Wang Weiguo and Zhang Shuang, the other twenty-three people were alive and saw the black iron ball together, so ...... If your conjecture is true, it shouldn't just be the eighteen of them who are here, but ...... Twenty-three people, there should be two me, and there are two you. ”
Xiao Ling looked at Yu Tingting as he spoke, he felt that this was a huge loophole in Yu Tingting's conjecture about these two spaces, and he didn't want Yu Tingting's expression to remain unchanged, and his face was very calm and waited for Xiao Ling to finish.
After that, she took a deep breath and said, "We have experienced the events of Space A, and in the end, the magma encountered a catastrophe, causing a great change, and that huge energy can destroy almost everything, do you think...... Will the five of us survive? ”
Xiao Ling's heart sank, and he looked at Yu Tingting in front of him, as if he knew her for the first time.
Yu Tingting's face slowly changed, and she muttered, "Who can be sure that the five of us in Space A really survived?" ”
Xiao Ling's hairs suddenly stood on end, and he felt a creepy feeling in his heart.
He understood the meaning of Yu Tingting's words.
Wang Lei suddenly shook his head and said: "This is impossible, I don't believe that Pisces Jade Pendant has such an ability, after all, it is just a dead thing, although it may have some special abilities, but even space can be replicated, this is absolutely impossible, if you want to say that it has created some illusions for us, I believe it." ”
Hu Shengzhe said: "Yes, maybe we just experienced an extremely long dream, and no one died in reality, except for Zhang Shuang and Lao Wang ......."
When Wang Weiguo was mentioned, Hu Shengzhe couldn't help but sigh faintly.
Li Zhibao waited for them to finish speaking, and only then did he say: "What you said is right, no matter what the real reason is, at least we have seen the Pisces jade pendant this time, and Lao Zhou's hidden danger has also been solved." ”
Xiao Ling didn't speak again, but he knew in his heart that everything they experienced was definitely not a dream, at least Zhang Shuang and Wang Weiguo were really dead, and the face on Zhou Kesheng's chest really disappeared, all of which meant that everything they experienced was real.
Hu Shengzhe smiled bitterly: "I saw the Pisces jade pendant, but unfortunately I couldn't get the sample back, this time the scientific expedition mission can be said to be a failure." ”
Only then did Xiao Ling know that the mission of their scientific expedition team to enter this underground world was to retrieve the sample of the Pisces jade pendant.
Zhou Kesheng, who had not spoken, said: "No matter what, everything about the Pisces Jade Pendant is completely over, in the final eruption of magma and water robbery, it is impossible for the Pisces Jade Pendant to remain, no matter what mystery there is in the depths of the earth, it doesn't matter anymore, it's all over." ”
After that, the scientific expedition team of twenty-three people, except for Wang Weiguo and Zhang Shuang, who disappeared forever, the others began to step into the return journey.
After they left the underground crack in the center of the Death Canyon, no one noticed that in the depths of the crack, there was a figure standing quietly in the darkness of the crack, as if silently listening to their conversation.
When the figure heard Zhou Kesheng say that everything was over, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and he seemed to show a silent smile, but this smile was full of irony.
"Is it over? No, it's just getting started......"
A vague sound came out of his throat, and he lifted his face slightly, and a ray of afterglow fell onto his face, revealing his face in the depths of darkness.
His face is exactly the same as Xiao Ling.
