"Missing?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, it is said that the last time a worker saw the missing person was around 2 a.m., he sat up from his bed, muttered a few words, and then got dressed and got up and walked out of the house. The people who shared the room with him at the time thought that he was just going out to go to the bathroom, but they didn't expect that he never came back.

"Later, the construction company called people to find someone, and found his hard hat and wallet in the tunnel halfway through the construction, but they never found his person, he seemed to have evaporated from the world, and this incident also caused a small riot at the time, because the subway tunnel they were building itself did not have a fork in the road, and it was a dead end at the end, and everyone couldn't think of where to hide people."

Ma Lu hesitated, and continued, "Because our city has been used as the capital of the dynasty for the last few hundred years, there was a saying in the construction team at that time that the construction of this subway line destroyed the dragon veins underground, and the disappearance of the worker was a warning, and this statement was even more popular after more and more people fell ill inexplicably, but the management of the construction company was more inclined to the missing people to be retaliated against by the enemy, and the hard hats and wallets in the tunnel were just the murderers, so there was a suspicion, as for why no one was alive or dead, and no body was seen, It was because the murderer threw the body into a mixer after committing the murder, and broke it up and mixed it with concrete.

This speculation is indeed closer to reality, especially the missing person had a dispute with another worker in the engineering team because of some emotional things before, the two are from the same village, the suspect likes a girl in the village, the dowry was negotiated, but I didn't expect to be the missing person inserted a bar, added 30,000 yuan to marry the girl, and the two also formed a bond, the suspect has a lot of motives to kill, but later the police also investigated, and I don't know if it was because the detection methods at that time were relatively backward, In the end, he could not find any substantial evidence, so he could only choose to release him. ”

Zhang Heng nodded, "Then do you know what the missing person muttered before going out at night?" ”

"The co-worker who lived with him couldn't hear it too clearly, because he was also in a half-asleep state at the time, and he said that he only heard one sentence, probably saying that the water was a little cold."

"The water is a little cold?"

"It's quite inexplicable, because it was summer, and it hadn't rained for several days, and there were no lakes or rivers nearby, so I probably dreamed of my hometown when I was sleeping." Ma Lu couldn't help but shudder after saying that, although he didn't believe much in this kind of thing, and usually heard it as an after-dinner chatter at most.

But as he said before, the three of them are now in this subway tunnel, and they haven't seen the next platform after walking for so long, with these rumors they heard before, even if Ma Lu's heart is big, he can't help but beat the drums.

But the culprit behind all this doesn't seem to have much reaction at this time.

And what Ma Lu didn't expect was that Zhang Heng spoke up again, "I almost know what happened to the missing worker." ”

Ma Lu was stunned for a moment before he said, "What are you talking about, it's just a legend, and it's been so long since now, we weren't at the scene that night, and the police at that time couldn't investigate it, how do you know what happened." ”

"It's simple, because we're now experiencing what happened to him in the first place." Zhang Heng said lightly.

When he said this, it seemed that the temperature in the tunnel dropped by a few degrees.

Ma Lu felt a chill in his heart, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "Now is not a good time to joke. ”

"It's not," Zhang Heng admitted, "so unfortunately, I'm not kidding." ”

As he spoke, he paused and picked up a coin from the ground in front of him, "This dollar I threw thirty minutes ago." ”

"What do you mean?" Malu's head didn't turn around a bit.

"Meaning we're going around in circles right now." Zhang Hengdao.

"How is this possible?" Ma Lu's eyes widened, "This tunnel doesn't have any forks, and we haven't turned back, we've been walking in one direction, taking 10,000 steps back, even if we really go around unconsciously, we should see the platform when we came." ”

"It makes sense to say so." Zhang Heng said, "But the situation we are encountering now cannot be explained by common sense. ”

"Friend, you shouldn't have listened to the story I told you a little too much, right?" Ma Lu smiled bitterly, he turned his gaze to Fan Meinan, hoping to get some support from Fan Meinan, but he didn't expect Fan Meinan's face to have an expression of full acceptance of Zhang Heng's statement, and then asked with a serious face, "Do you have anything else to discover?" ”

"Time is still ticking." Zhang Heng compared the starfish on his wrist with the time on his mobile phone, and found that the time display of the two was the same.

Although this starfish watch is a birthday gift from Zhang Heng's parents, it has a great relationship with the old man in Tang costume, whether it is in the copy or in the real world, its flow rate has always remained the same, so as long as it is compared with the mobile phone, it is easy to see if there is a problem in time.

In addition, Zhang Heng is also paying attention to his physiological situation at all times, at least his metabolism has maintained a normal level so far, which means that what they are encountering now is not a dilemma similar to a time loop, but more like someone unknowingly picking out a section of the tunnel and connecting it end to end, forming a closed loop.

Did Loki do it?

This kind of thing sounds very his style, but combined with the story he heard before, Zhang Heng didn't think that this was a ghost specially made by Loki, or at least not to deal with them, after all, this happened once more than fifty years ago when this subway line was first built, and if nothing else, the missing worker was trapped and died in this tunnel with no exit and no entrance.

But the other party is different from them, it is more like he was summoned to enter this tunnel, he mentioned the water before leaving, it should be a more critical information point, but this range is too wide, Zhang Heng has no clue for the time being.

"So this situation is that we are hallucinating?" Fan Meinan said, she tried to reach out and touch the wall on the side as she spoke, the touch from her fingertips was extremely real, and she could even clearly feel the roughness and coldness of the stone wall. Then Fan Meinan picked up a small stone and threw it on the stone wall on the other side, which was also bounced away, and there was no situation where the stone passed through the wall.
