Subvert common sense

Along the spiral staircase that descends vertically, Yu Siqi, accompanied by Qu Guang, came to a small wooden door. stepped forward and tried to push the door open, but Yu Siqi unexpectedly found that no matter how hard he tried, there was no way to make it open for himself.

Faced with this situation, Yu Siqi was still a little surprised.

After all, judging from the hinge of the door, the door is undoubtedly pushed inward. And it's not locked, how can it happen that you can't push it at all?

Yu Siqi, who was a little confused, began to move his gaze to Qu Guang beside him, and asked what was going on.

Through Qu Guang's analysis and explanation, Yu Siqi learned that there was a complete memory behind the door. If you want to enter, you'll have to change your memory itself.

"How can this be done?"

When Yu Siqi heard this, he couldn't help but ask.

"If you think about it according to common sense, you can't do it. But if we get rid of the way we think, it may be possible. ”

The moment he finished speaking, Qu Guang's form changed dramatically.

An arm made entirely of smoke appeared in front of Yu Siqi, and made a 'knock' motion towards the door.

With the sound of 'knock knock', an incomparably familiar conversation came from behind the door.

"Did you hear anything?"

Setas asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, someone is knocking on the door."

Father Ann replied.

"It's strange, this door is obviously open inside. If there were people outside the door, wouldn't they push it open themselves? ”

Setas asked, puzzled.

"Since you're so desperate for an answer, why don't you go over and see for yourself?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Father Ann's tone.

"Why don't you go?"

Setas seemed a little reluctant about this.

"Can't you see I'm busy? Please, Setas, you should know that I can't leave now. ”

Father Ann was not upset by Setas's lack of cooperation, but rather persuaded him with kind words.

"Okay, I'll just take a look."

As soon as Setas finished saying this, Yu Siqi outside the door heard footsteps approaching.

Then, the door was opened. Setas, who had an alert face, poked his head outside, and the whole person was about to bump into Yu Siqi.

Although Yu Siqi knew that Setas in his memory, he would not see himself in the real sense. But this feeling of being looked at directly still made him a little uncomfortable.

Then, at the urging of Qu Guang's whisper, Yu Siqi slipped under the broad arm of Setas and entered the 'memory world' that he had never been able to enter before.

This is a cellar with extremely bad lighting, and if it weren't for the small ball of light floating around Father An, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Yu Siqi to even see the surroundings clearly.

Just as Siqi was still trying to take in the surrounding environment as much as possible, Father An, who was crouching in the center of the room, raised his head slightly and asked Setas, who was standing by the door, "Did you find anything?" ”

"I'm sorry to tell you nothing."

Setas closed the door casually and shrugged his shoulders at Father Ann.

"How is this possible?"

Father Ann looked skeptical.

"It's really unlikely, but it's just the way it is. It's like you're stuck here because of a small problem and can't move on. ”

Setas shook his head and walked back to where Father Ann was. Unaware of it, behind him, there was Yu Siqi and the curvy light that turned into a cloud of black mist again.

"If you hadn't been in a hurry and touched the built-in mechanism, the current situation might not have been like this at all, right?"

Father Ann smiled and shook his head.

"I can't blame it all. After all, you also saw it at the time, how can you calm me down in that situation? ”

Setas tried to justify his actions.

"I don't mean to blame you, Setas. I'm just trying to make you fully aware that your complaints don't work for me. "Night night Chinese

Father Ann said without raising his head.

"Well, even if the blame for all of this is on me. So you've been investigating this relief for so long, do you have any clue? Or do we have to take a more radical approach? ”

Setas raised his fist and asked.

"I will not approve of your 'radical approach' unless absolutely necessary."

Father Ann sternly rejected Setas's offer, much to the latter's disappointment.

"Alright, then I'll see how busy you can get. If so, remember to call me. ”

Setas found himself a fairly clean corner and sat down on the floor, seemingly intending to take a nap.

"Are you really going to throw me all this deciphering work?"

Father Ann didn't look at Setas, but shifted his gaze to the direction where Yu Siqi was. His gaze extended to the wall behind him through Yu Siqi's figure.

"Well, who told you to know more about that lost civilization than I did?"

Setas rested his head with his hands on his head, and his posture was very relaxed.

"I've only read a few books on the subject, and I'm not much of a linguist."

Father Ann turned to look at Setas and said.

"You're talented, I believe in you."

Setas yawned and closed his eyes. In a few moments, snoring came from inside him.

Faced with Setas's actions, Father Ann shook his head again and let out a sigh: "Even I may not fully trust myself."

Hearing this, Yu Siqi finally understood why they had been hesitating in this place. It seems that the relief under Father Ann has some special meaning.

Maybe it's a trap, maybe it's a secret door.

In short, in this memory, Father Ann seems to have been stumped by the puzzle.

'What kind of puzzle can be hard to find Father An!' ’

When Yu Siqi noticed this, he subconsciously thought. But then, when he turned his gaze to the reliefs below, he was surprised to find that he could easily understand the contents of them.

"Someone once prophesied a truth. This reality is more frightening than any fear in the world, more uplifting than any laughter in the world, more unacceptable than any sorrow in the world.

Most people don't know what this really means, but some people get a sense of it. Those who are enlightened receive no favor from it, no blessing from the gods, but they learn a truth that drives them into madness.

That is - it is not the so-called rules that separate the real from the fantastic, but the minds of the people. When the mind is liberated, you will find that you cannot find any obstacle between the two. ”

Yu Siqi couldn't help but recite the words on it, and the relief itself glowed with a strange light.

Immediately afterward, everything around them disappeared.

It seems to turn upside down, which makes Yu Siqi's perspective a little strange.

Although he was nowhere near as embarrassed as Setas who had just fallen asleep, nor as nervous as Father Ann, who didn't understand what was going on.

But he was still affected to a certain extent, which is inevitable.

After experiencing an uncontrolled free fall for a while, Yu Siqi fell into a pool of water large enough to submerge his feet.

With the little glow created by Father An, Yu Siqi, who struggled to stand up, noticed that there was not water under him, but bright red blood.

However, before he could figure out where he had been, Yu Siqi saw that Setas, who had also fallen to the ground, was cursing and saying something more ugly.

Father Ann, meanwhile, stretched out his arm, lifted Setas out of the blood, and said to him, "I know you want to lose your temper with me, Setas. But until then, I suggest you focus on the right things first, which is crucial. ”

"yes, it's really crucial." Setas said angrily, "So, you did get that complicated and weird mechanism, right?" ”

"How would you feel if I said I didn't do anything at all?"

Father Ann tilted his head and looked in the direction they had fallen.

It was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

"I guess it's a deliberate act on the part of the other side, like what they did to Henrik."

Setas shook the blood from his hair and said.

"That's right. So we'd better start now and concentrate, there are still many trials and tribulations ahead of us! ”

With a wave of his hand, the balls of light surrounding him flew into the air one after another, completely illuminating the area.
