208, Mystic Stone Statue

"Oh no, I've been tricked!" Chu Yuxuan looked around with a solemn expression, and his eyes revealed a little unease.

"This is a ghost hitting the wall, it must be those German devils, they refuse to let us go, and want us to stay and be buried!" Someone in the line shouted.

"What a mess!" Hong Lao Jiu burst into a loud shout: "Isn't the fuck just going to get a trick, Bull Nose, you're good at catching ghosts, think of a way!" ”

Although Peng Jinxian claimed to be a "corpse binding", it was just an excuse for him to be abducted and deceived and cover up people's eyes. Peng Jinsheng walks in the mountain village and wild household all the year round, and outsiders only think that he invited a Taoist priest to come to the mountains to exorcise ghosts, and who would think that he was digging graves and digging graves by exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. The resentment in this place is too heavy, and the cultivation of the trail is limited, and I am afraid that I have the heart and am powerless! ”

"Did you notice that something wasn't quite right around here?" Grandpa spoke.

"This special lady still needs you to say, none of them are normal here!" Hong Laojiu scolded.

Grandpa ignored it, but pointed to the distant sky.

"It stands to reason that we've been here for so long, and even if we don't see sunrise, we should have some light. But you see, the storm has not stopped since we came out of the crack, and even the dim moonlight does not seem to change. ”

"What do you mean?" The crowd looked at him.

"What we're experiencing now is anything but real, something must have gone wrong and we're stuck in this loop."

"It's the crack!" Chu Yuxuan's expression lit up. "After coming out of it, we were running after the heels of the Nazi German soldiers every time, but we kept going in circles, and if we ignored those people and returned, it would have been different."

"In that case, let's go back!" Huo Yuanshan does not believe in evil.

The cold wind is getting more and more biting, and the physical strength that everyone has managed to raise is almost exhausted, if they can't find a way out, they will freeze to death here sooner or later, at least they can have a place to shelter from the wind when they return to the cracks.

When they returned to the outside of the crack, they found that there was a fire in the cave.

The group of "themselves" was gathered around the fire, with pots on the fire, steaming things boiling in it, and a few others were pulling the corpses on the ground in the corner.

The firelight reflected everyone's faces, but no matter how you look at it, there is a wickedness in that appearance.

"They're boiling cans, isn't that what we did before?" After everyone hid in the boulder, they were a little overwhelmed for a while.

When they passed by just now, there was obviously no one in the cave.

"I've been thinking about a question." Li Lao suddenly said: "How did those Nazi German soldiers die in the cave?" ”

As he spoke, he took out three identical crosses.

"Maybe you haven't noticed, but I've been keeping an eye on it. The first time we found their bodies in the cave, the owner of the cross had a broken left arm and a very obvious frostbite on the wound, which was caused by frostbite and inflammation after the injury. In this environment, this kind of wound is very difficult to heal, and it can almost kill him. ”

"But the first time we saw a living German soldier after coming out of the crack, the man's arm was intact."

"Then the surroundings changed, our position went backwards, and the time we met later, I saw that the owner of the cross had half of his left arm missing, and the wound was very new, as if it had just been bandaged."

"What do you want to say?" Huo Yuanshan's expression moved.

"It may be hard to believe, but I think we met the same people all the time, and what we saw was actually what they looked like at different times."

"What are you talking about?" Everyone looked at Li Lao with some puzzlement.

"Let me say so." Li Lao pulled out his dagger and carved a line in the stone.

"Normally, it is impossible for a person's arm to grow back after it is broken, and it is impossible for the wound to become inflamed and sores immediately, so ......" Li Lao carved three lines in the middle and at the end of the line. The man must have been injured first and lost his arm, and then the wound became inflamed. According to this time, the Germans must have gone to the section in front of the crack first, then returned to the crack, and finally died strangely in the crack. ”

"That's true, but we've been moving forward, and we're not going back and forth like they did!" Chu Yuxuan was puzzled.

"Normally, these things follow such a timeline like this, but in case ......" Li Lao connected the two ends of the line with a large arc. What if we walk in a circle? ”

"How is this possible!" As soon as Elder Li's words came out, almost everyone couldn't believe it.

"I know it's hard to believe, but it's beyond all of us. But that's the way it is, we've been in a loop from start to finish! I don't know what the Germans saw at the time, but the owner of the cross must have found something, so he did something. Li Lao arranged the three crosses together, pointed to the notch on them, and said, "Maybe he wanted to use this nick to verify his guess, but unfortunately he died in the end!" ”

Although Elder Li's words are a bit outrageous, now that they are trapped here, there is no other way.

"So, what do we do next?"

"Find the knot that connects the two ends and undo it!" Li Lao moved his gaze to the crack in the distance: "If I guess correctly, the problem must be in this crack!" ”

"But now, there is another group of 'us' inside, and once we get in, the consequences are unimaginable."

"Then ...... Kill them! Elder Li looked at everyone present.

It's crazy to kill another group of yourself

"Now, I don't have a choice!"

Huo Yuanshan led people to rush into the crack, and a group of people swept towards the group of "themselves" with submachine guns.

The unsuspecting men were taken by surprise and fell several in an instant.

Someone stood up and resisted, only to be overwhelmed by the barrage of bullets

Another massacre.

The gunfire stopped, and smoke filled the cave.

The bonfire was broken up, charcoal sparked, and the boiling hot broth mixed with blood flowed out of the bullet holes in the pot and dripped in the fire.

More than thirty bloody corpses lay on the ground.

Everyone stood in place, looking at "themselves" on the ground, and no one spoke.

Rao is as bold as Red Lao Jiu, looking at himself lying in a pool of blood, his hands trembling and wanting to light a cigarette, but he cut one match after another.

"No......" At this time, Li Lao realized that he was wrong.

If, as he said, they killed their past selves who ate in the cracks now, then there could be no more of them.

In other words, they can't be here now, they should all be dead. The moment they kill these "selves" to unravel the loop, they will also disappear.

This is a paradox that simply cannot be established.

But now they are still standing here, looking at the dead "self" on the ground.

What's even more bizarre is that several people were killed by the group of "themselves", and there were two identical corpses on the ground, both of which existed at the same time!

It's not a so-called endless loop at all, but there's something really wrong!

The wind howled outside the cave, and the sky was still dark.

Suddenly, Li Lao felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

When I first found out that there was another group of "myself" in the cave, wasn't that what it looked like?

When they saw the group of "themselves" standing in the hole, did they see the scene now? So at this time, is there still a group of themselves outside?

It's all going on, and they're still stuck here!

Li Lao's head was already confused, and the whole person began to be irritable uncontrollably, his chest seemed to be blocked with sand, and endless despair and pain surged in his heart.

It was as if in that moment, everything lost its meaning.

"Jin Jue!"

Suddenly, Grandpa's voice exploded in Li Lao's ears, and there was a buzz in his head, and it took a long time to recover from that strange state, as if all his strength had been drained in an instant, and a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Looking around again, everyone seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, their eyes contorted on the ground blankly, and they were in pain, just like the corpses of the German soldiers on the ground before.

"There's a problem in this hole!" Grandpa's expression was equally ugly, and he could see that he was trying to stay awake.

They tried to wake up the others, but to no avail. And soon, Li Lao found that his consciousness was blurred again.

"Where are you going?" Watching his grandfather walk towards the depths of the crack, Li Lao gritted his teeth and cut his palm with a dagger.

The pain briefly woke him up, and he saw his grandfather stumbling into the depths of the crack with one hand on the stone wall in front of him.

Boom! Boom!

There was a heavy thumping sound, and he tried to follow, but saw a stone statue appear in the depths of the originally empty crack at some point, and Grandpa was holding a piece of gravel and smashing it hard.

The light was dim, and Li Lao struggled to turn on the flashlight. I saw that the stone statue was black all over, no different from the size of ordinary people, the whole was a standing human shape, with a head and limbs, but the strange thing is that the head of the stone statue has no facial features, to be precise, it is not a human head at all, but a transparent ring.

Click!

The stone statue's head was smashed off by his grandfather, and Li Lao suddenly felt that his brain had regained a trace of clarity, and it was no longer as chaotic as before.

"I've never seen this kind of stone before." Li Lao looked at the surface of the stone statue, the stone was smooth and abnormal, it should have been artificially polished, and there were very peculiar lines on it, such as a coiled dragon and a snake, dazzling, as if a human soul could be sucked into it with one more look.

"This stone statue is absolutely unusual!"

As he spoke, Li Lao reached out to touch it, but as soon as his hand touched it, he suddenly felt a trance in his mind, which frightened him to retreat in a hurry.

"Could it be that this thing is messing around?"
