Chapter 32: Curved Mirrors

It was pitch black behind, there was a vibration like cracking rocks, the smell of dust in the air, Lao Qin shone the flashlight in the direction when he came and went, and the beam was full of white flying dust. Lao Qin's flashlight hung low, and the fire gushed out of the darkness in front of him, and it burned red on the top first, and the flames hung down like fluids, looking at this scene like lava from a volcanic eruption flowing.

Lao Qin was dumbfounded, and Ji Xiu said: "There are really a lot of * they use, and they are still new*, which can flow in like water, and there will be more powerful explosions in the future." ”

Ji Xiu moved quickly, and took the lead in climbing the square artificial building, without steps, standing on it and looking like a dock, it was still a dock like a work of art. The pier is like a rectangular box, there is no error in the alignment of the edges, and the overall feeling of a boulder is cut out, and the stone surface is too smooth after multiple slips.

"There's a boat here, come here. Ji Xiu jumped off the dock after speaking, the hull of the boat was very stable, there was not much swaying, this is a stone boat, and it is also a stone boat that is formed in one piece, and it is hewn out of a stone.

Igu and Lao Qin jumped off the stone boat, Ji Xiu used his hand as an oar to row the stone boat, and after leaving the dock for more than ten meters, there was a dark red fire beating in the dark.

"Awesome, this is a strategic-level weapon, capable of burning more than 100 square kilometers, but this is the first time it has been put into actual combat. Ji Xiu looked at the fire-filled shore and said with satisfaction: "It's okay to use it against me." ”

Lao Qin was already so frightened that he sat on the stone boat, not because of the land that had been scorched by fire, but because now there were many pairs of eyes staring at him. There were many round black objects floating around the stone boat, which at first looked like porcelain bowls buckled upside down in the water, but when the black objects surfaced, they were human heads.

Lao Qin's flashlight beam swept across the water, and the stone boat was surrounded by human heads, and the human heads were so close together that the stone boat could not swim away at all.

"Head, dead man! This water is full of corpses. Lao Qin's hands were trembling, which could be seen from the flashlight beam that was constantly shaking.

"Don't be afraid, this is not a human corpse, see clearly. Ji Xiu used the long sword as a stick and knocked the head floating in the water, the first time it felt very hard, and the second time it shattered, shining light into the skull cavity, and it was empty.

"Why is there a stone boat here?" asked Igu.

Ji Xiu said angrily: "You might as well ask why there is a wharf here, even a wharf can be there, why can't there be a boat." ”

Igu hurriedly waved his hand and analyzed: "That's not what I asked, it's the barrage of netizens I read." ”

"Don't read this kind of barrage comment that drops IQ. Ji Xiu used the long sword as a bamboo pole to line up the corpses of those unknown creatures so that the stone boat could sail away.

Lao Qin regained his composure and shone a flashlight on the head closest to Shizhou, which was covered with a layer of skin and a skull, about the size of a human head, and it was easy to mistake it for a human head when he suddenly saw it. There is no hair, the forehead is very low, the eyes are small, and the light of the flashlight is reflected in the two small eyelets, I don't know if there are any eyeballs inside, and I sweep it with the flashlight, as if there are countless eyes staring at me.

"I can see that this is the monster you used to play tricks on me before. Lao Qin looked at Ji Xiu and said, "Although these mouths that died in the water have shrunk like twist rolls, they are the same kind as the monster you killed before." ”

"You have a really bad look, do you only see it now? I guess the water was full of corpses of these things, and the explosion shook the bottom of the water, and all of these things floated up. ”

"Have we escaped?" Lao Qin looked at the burning land, still in shock, if it weren't for Ji Xiu's quick warning, he would have been burned to ashes if he didn't take a slow step. Lao Qin saw something strange in the flames, a cyan mist rose in the middle of the sea of fire, and the dark red flame was dyed cyan, Lao Qin's brain circuit couldn't react, and he was stunned for a while.

Ji Xiu also saw it, he looked at the camera in Igu's hand, and said to the camera: "Your combat ability is really efficient, not bad, I want to praise you." ”

Ji Xiu paddled with his hands, wanting Shizhou to leave here quickly, he said: "Row quickly, that's poison gas, they also used poison gas bombs." ”

Lao Qin swallowed his saliva, and found that it was still bitter, and rowed with both hands pulling out the water, he complained: "They all said not to go to the Mo Shen Dao, now look, they can't kill us, so they use fire, and now they still use poison gas." ”

Ji Xiu smiled lightly and said, "Ha, don't be stupid, look at that camera, we are broadcasting, and the whole world knows our current situation." When we slept, they prepared* and when we couldn't blow it up, we burned it, and when we got to the water, they used poison gas. Every move, word and deed we do now is known to the top of the government. ”

"Then why don't we turn off the live stream and wait until we get out of the world before restarting the live stream. ”

Ji Xiu said expressionlessly: "Even if you die, I won't turn off the live broadcast, hahahaha, when you said you wanted to follow me, you were already reminded of it, get ready, there will be more fun in the future." ”

Lao Qin has nothing to say, he knows that he is asking for himself, Ji Xiu is the god of news, and at the same time he is a god of death, and if he follows him, he will treat himself as a cat with nine lives, which is harder than life.

Ji Xiu stood at the bow of the boat, exploring the path with a gem beam in his hand, Ji Xiu thought that the stone boat was driving in the dark, and there was no way to know the speed, but fortunately, the land behind him was a sea of fire that could be used as a beacon to guide the way, and he couldn't even grasp the direction if he didn't put it. Lao Qin felt that this stone boat seemed to be heading to the underworld, and now it was driving on the Huangquan River, where it was dark and cold, and the water surface was full of ugly floating corpses, which made people's spines cold and scalp numb.

"Do you think that the height of that burning land has risen?" Ji Xiu walked to the stern of the boat and looked up at the dark red land.

"yes, that's weird, could it be that we're going downstream?"

"This waterhole is like a mirror, where does it come from, if we don't row, this stone boat will stay where it is. ”

Lao Qin put a finger into the water, put his head on it and looked at it carefully, and hurriedly said: "You're right, I put my finger in the water, if you don't row, there is not even a trace of ripples, this waterhole is stagnant." ”

"If we're driving on a flat surface, then why is that land elevated?" Ji Xiu seemed to think of something, and said to Igu, "Give me the camera." ”

Igu Yiyan handed over the camera, and Ji Xiu took the camera and said to the two: "I'll go out for a while, you guys are waiting for me here." ”

Lao Qin was puzzled, now that he was trapped on a stone boat, where else could he get out. I saw Ji Xiu throw a long sword to the water, and the long sword shuttled through the water like a fish without sinking, and finally floated on the water like a bamboo pole. Ji Xiu jumped out of the stone boat, stepped on the long sword and left, and the old Qin Yigu and they were getting farther and farther away.

After driving away for a distance, Ji Xiu stabilized her figure, took pictures of Shizhou with a camera, and slowly adjusted the focus, and the picture changed from blurry to clear. The picture seen through the lens is different from what I expected, in the lens, you can see the whole inside of the stone boat, and the perspective is not looking at the stone boat from the side, but looking down from the top of the stone boat.

"I see, this waterhole is not a flat mirror, but a curved mirror. Ji Xiu looked up at the dark roof of the cave, as if thinking about something.

Ji Xiu stepped on the long sword and sailed back to the stone boat, and as soon as he returned to the stone boat, Lao Qin leaned in and quickly asked how the situation was. Ji Xiu handed the camera to Lao Qin and said, "Look at what I shot." ”

Lao Qin hurriedly took the camera, turned on the reshoot video function, and saw the stone boat in the picture, the perspective from top to bottom, you can see the top of Lao Qin and Igu's heads, Lao Qin asked puzzledly: "This is what you flew to the top of our heads?"

"No, I was standing on the surface of the water, holding the camera parallel to the surface. Ji Xiu made a gesture, indicating that she was holding a camera parallel to the water.

"I see, it's a mirage, because of the refraction of light, you can see things from different angles. "Lao Qin is deliberately talking nonsense, this kind of ghost place doesn't even have sunlight, where did it come from.

"Wrong! Big mistake!" Ji Xiu stretched out his hand and said, "Give me your flashlight." ”

Lao Qin put the flashlight in Ji Xiu's palm, Ji Xiu weighed it and repeated, and suddenly threw it at his head with force. The flashlight rushed up with a long beam of light, like a firework, with a swirling light into the sky, submerging into the endless darkness overhead.

"Plop" overhead came the sound of falling water, originally imagined, the flashlight smashed up to the top, must have hit the rock wall at the top of the cave, I can't think of it, there is a sound of falling water overhead. Lao Qin looked up, and the flashlight above his head emitted a faint light, as if he was soaking in water.

Igu immediately prepared the camera, all the netizens in the live broadcast room waited with bated breath, Lao Qin and Igu were puzzled at the scene, not to mention that those sitting in front of the screen must be confused, in front of the camera, Ji Xiu began to explain.

"See, the stone boat we are riding in is in a waterhole, and above our heads, there is also a waterhole, and the waterhole under our feet is connected to the waterhole above our heads, and the stone boat is now parked vertically in the middle, can you understand what I said? ”

Lao Qin and Igu shook their heads again and again, indicating that they hadn't understood yet.

"This waterhole is indeed a mirror, but it is not a flat mirror, but a curved 'U' shaped mirror. We can't sense it in the pool, and if we keep going, we will definitely be able to drive to the top of the cave, where we guess there is a very strange gravitational field. If this is a bowl, then there is no water at the bottom of the bowl, and there is a waterhole on the edge of the bowl, and if there is a lid on the top of the bowl, it is estimated that even the lid is a waterhole. Ji Xiu said lightly: "Of course, I only know this now, and I haven't figured out how this came to be." ”

Igu was confused when he heard it, Lao Qin seemed to understand a little, but give some time to Lao Qin, no matter how difficult it was to accept, he accepted it, don't forget how Lao Qin came in, at first he walked on a parallel road, and suddenly the road was still parallel, but it could make people fall down in parallel, this waterhole is probably also related to gravity, so that water can be stored on the wall and the roof of the cave.

"If you say so, we have no escape. Your metaphor describes it well, we are just ants in a bowl, surrounded by water, and the only entrance and exit are not known what to be blown into, and even if we have wings, we can't fly out. Lao Qin took out his tablet and wanted to start writing a suicide note.

"Who said that we can't get out, I said before, to get out is to dig a hole, the way out is at the bottom of the pool, we have to dig a hole at the bottom of the pool. ”
