Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Strange Face

The alleys here are not very long, each alley is about 100 meters long, and the bricks and stones used are the same color, so if you can't remember the direction you first walked, it is easy to go wrong.

And after passing through the 100-meter-long alley, at the end, there will be two roads to the left and the right.

I felt as if my head was frozen, and my brain was completely frozen, and I couldn't think of any way to break this huge labyrinthine alley.

Niu and I were like headless flies, scurrying around in the alley.

Many bluestone brick walls have left traces, not only our new carvings, but also many others left, and after a few circles, the traces of the past are quickly reduced.

"I said, big brother, look at this thing, a semicircle, why does it look so strange?" Niu honestly pointed to the mark left on the wall, which was a strange semicircle.

I didn't care, just glanced at it.

This is a corner we just came around, and there is a mark on the wall, a funny semicircle.

I've seen too many marks, and I don't care about this semicircle used for funny, I guess it's someone who is trying to distinguish it from other people's traces.

Continue to walk forward and make two more rounds.

I couldn't help but smile wryly as I looked at the strange face left on the wall in front of me.

The top of the weird face is the funny semicircle I've ever seen, the least caring ever.

Why is it said to be a strange face, because the whole face is distorted, as if it is a child's graffiti, deliberately drawing the human face upside down and distorted.

The face had a pair of eyes that were slanted from side to side, like figure-eight eyebrows, without a nose, and his mouth was slightly raised, forming a very strange mockery.

yes, I think this thing is laughing at me.

The weird and distorted face, the left and right pairs of eyes, seemed to reveal an inexplicable gaze, and looked at me stunned.

"Honest Niu, do you think this thing seems to be alive?"

"Do you have a fever?" Niu honestly touched my forehead, looked at the strange face on the wall and said, "That thing is a painting, but the painting is too ugly, and the eyes are slanted so much." ”

I wasn't sure if it was my own eyes or my head, so I shook my head hard.

Is it because I have a preconceived notion that this is just a relatively normal painting, but I look at it with strange eyes, which is why it is like this?

Looking at normal paintings with strange eyes makes the originally normal paintings become weird.

I didn't look any further, and followed the cow honestly forward.

The silent alley, with only the footsteps of the two of us, and the light that is not dazzling, painted as a distorted picture above our heads,

After three turns in a row, we met that twisted and weird face again, but this time I didn't find it weird.

I don't know how long I walked, but I saw the strange face four or five times, and there was no repetition of the traces we left.

Just because we don't repeat it means we're on the right track?

No, if this is really a labyrinth, the labyrinth in the building will certainly not be too big, so whether it is right or wrong, we should all encounter the mark.

Not only did there be no sign now, but there was nothing but the twisted and strange face on the wall that was getting uglier and uglier.

Looking at that weird face, I slid down against the wall and ended up sitting on the ground.

After walking for so long, I feel so tired, not only physically, but also mentally, so I take this opportunity to take a good rest and think about the distance we have traveled.

When I first walked, my head was a little dazed, and I couldn't remember the distance I had walked.

After encountering the grimace, we are three left and two right, go left and go three corners, then two to the right.

Every time he crossed a corner, Niu Laoshi would leave a mark on the wall.

The marks are either large, or they just carve a word on the wall with a knife, which doesn't waste much time.

From the time we entered the maze until now, it should have been two to three hours.

For such a long time, even if it is a floor, we should have walked through it earlier.

Niu honestly left so many marks, how could he meet one or two, but he didn't see half of them.

"Give me the knife."

I took the knife from Niu Laoshi's hand and began to trace the route in the order I remembered.

One, two, three......

It turned out to be six circles, not counting the places we first walked through, we actually walked out of two circles here.

But not circles of the same size, but circles of different sizes.

No, the alleys we walk through are the same size and the same distance every time.

From the moment I woke up, I knew it was a labyrinth, so I calculated the distance and the number of steps in every alley.

I need about 146 steps per alley, of course, because of the different left and right turns, the difference in the number of steps is at most one step, sometimes half a step.

Follow our path and stagger the circle corners that go all the way to the right or all the way to the left.

But the weird thing is that he doesn't walk out of the circle, but he just walks out of the circle.

Weird, really weird.

I struck lightly with my knife in six circles, and the tip of the knife hit the ground with a crisp sound.

According to our move, it is an absolute S-shape, which is the best way to avoid the circle.

The way of walking specially designed to avoid circles actually came out of a circle?

To be honest, I'm really big head right now and a little overwhelmed.

Do we have to go out in a circle before we really go out?

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't decide what to do.

When I looked up, I saw the face on the wall again, and if it was really from a former player, then they had the same choice as me.

The weird face now has three eyes, which were originally the position of the nose, but have been painted as a vertical eye.

I don't know why, but I always feel like those three eyes are staring at me.

There is a special awkwardness in my heart, as if I am really under the gaze of others.

"Let's go."

Since I have the same choice as my predecessors, let's take a different approach.

I stood up and walked to the right, and whenever I met the junction I went to the right, obviously following the pattern of the circle.

But not long after I walked, I saw strange faces on the walls again.

At this time, that face already had four eyes, four eyes staring at me tightly.

I'm standing in front of four eyes, how can this be? Could it be that the predecessors also changed the route they walked?

"Honestly, you say, if you find yourself out of a circle, what will you choose?"

"Get out of a circle? How can you get out of a circle, the alleys here are all horizontal and vertical, and you can't get out of a circle. ”

"I don't want to explain it to you, but what would you do if you found yourself walking in a circle? Just like we are now, we have been walking in circles in the early stage, what will you choose? ”

I licked my chapped lips, and it felt salty.

Because he didn't drink water for a long time, he almost died of excessive bleeding on the fourth floor.

When I walked down from the rooftop carrying the corpse on my back, I was already very thirsty, and I didn't drink water for a long time, which made my mouth dry and my lips chapped and bleeding.
