There is no end to the cycle of time and space

Whoever goes to stay who lives

I looked back and saw this man.

A man covered in black.

This man was dressed in a black robe and mopping the floor, and his face was also wearing a black mask, he staggered, and every step seemed to take a lot of effort, his right foot took a step forward, and then his left foot dragged over, this person turned out to be a cripple.

He was holding a long black wooden stick in his left hand, and there were two scars faintly showing on his left arm where he was holding the stick.

"You...... Are you ......" I asked, looking at the person in front of me with a frown.

"You don't have to know who I am." The man interrupted me with a wave of his hand, and the man's voice was low and hoarse, as if every word was sandpaper, and he said slowly, "If you want to get out of here, come with me!" ”

"Where?" Ice asked.

"Naturally, I'm going to a place where I can give you answers." After speaking, the man in black turned around slowly, and limped towards the northernmost stone wall of the hall.

The stone wall was tall and cold, and the man in black walked under the stone wall step by step, and gently pressed his hand on a wall brick, and then, the stone wall "clicked" open a stone door.

Although the stone gate is not big, it is enough for an adult man to enter.

After crossing the stone gate, Ice and I saw a strange stone house.

It is said that this stone house is strange because there are so many strange people, strange objects, and strange stone paintings in this room.

Man is a dead man.

The dead men lay in the stone house, and Ice and I couldn't see them clearly, because they were all dressed in the same black robes as this one, and they had the same black masks on their faces, except that the skin on their exposed arms was dry and black, and there was no sign of life.

To my surprise, these guys also had two scars on their arms that were identical to mine.

I looked at the scars on the guys' arms, then at the scars on my own arms, and then at the guy walking in front of me, and I felt an indescribably complex emotion in my heart, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

The guy seemed to notice something strange about me, and suddenly stopped, turned to look at me, and giggled in a strange and eerie laugh, as if the demons of hell were smiling at me.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Don't be afraid, these people are already dead, you don't have to hate them, maybe it won't be long before you become one of them, don't worry...... Don't worry......"

"What do you mean by that?" I looked at the man in black and said.

"What do you mean?" The man in black said and walked to a pile of objects that looked like globes, he first slowly put the stick in his hand aside, and then picked up a crescent-shaped piece of iron from the side, as if he was building blocks, tried it on the globe, and after a long time, he slowly continued: "Don't you understand?" ”

"Naturally, I don't understand!" I looked at him and said.

"Since you don't understand, then don't understand, maybe you will slowly understand yourself, or maybe you will never understand, wouldn't that be a very happy thing?" The man in black seemed to be talking to me, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

I'm not a very stupid person, and I rarely ask stupid questions, but this time I was an exception when not only did I suddenly become stupid, but I also asked a rather stupid question.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, looking at the man in black.

"I'm looking for directions!" The black man paused, looked at me, and said.

"Aren't you going to tell us how we can get out of here? Can I ask a question before I know the way out? Ice said suddenly.

"Oh? What's the problem? The man in black slowly turned to look at Ice and said, I don't know why, the man in black always spoke in a relatively gentle tone to Ice.

"What is the reason for all this? Why...... Why is it ...... Why......" ICE said three whys in a row, but still didn't say the words infinite reincarnation.

"Why is there infinite reincarnation? Why did you meet yourself in the same space, right? The man in black looked at Ice and said softly.

"Hmm!" Ice nodded vigorously in reply.

"It's all because someone touched something you shouldn't have touched after you entered this place, and that's why this place is like this." The black man sighed as he spoke, then slowly put down the crescent-shaped piece of iron in his hand, walked to the center of the stone house step by step, and slowly raised his head to look at the murals carved by knives all over the house.

At this time, I noticed that the murals on both sides of the stone wall were carved with very simple human figures on one side, and most of the characters in them were replaced by stickmen, while the other side was all densely packed with mathematical equations.

The mathematical formula is densely written on a whole wall, which is complicated, cumbersome, meticulous and indecipherable.

"What is this?" I asked in surprise as I looked at the dense mathematical formulas.

"This is Einstein's formula of time!" Before the man in black could speak, Ice, who had been standing on the side, suddenly spoke.

"That's right! This is Einstein's formula of time! The black man said with a wry smile.

"What is the Time Formula?" I asked, frowning.

"Giggles!" Hearing my words, the man in black suddenly let out an indescribable strange laugh, which seemed to be squeezed out of his throat. "I knew you were going to ask, giggle......"

"You know I'm going to say that?" I asked, looking at the man in black.

"Of course I do! Because no one knows what you think better than I do, haven't you noticed? The man in black looked at me and said.

"You just said that someone touched something stupid that shouldn't be touched, what is that?" Ice asked suddenly.

"Kalachakra! In Taoism, it is called a dust swallower! The man in black slowly walked to the wall carved with stickmen, looked at the stone painting and slowly continued, "Do you remember the waterhole when you entered here?" ”

"Of course I do!" I replied immediately.

"You should remember those strange green snakes, right?" The black-clothed man continued to ask.

"Naturally, I remember!" I replied.

"Actually, it's just a fantasy." The man in black said word by word in his voice that looked like sandpaper rubbing.

"What? Are those just fantasies? Aren't they real? Ice exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes! It's all just fantasy! Those are just memories! The man in black said slowly.

"Memory? Whose memory? I asked, surprised.

"The memory of the cave!" The man in black said slowly.

"Memories of the cave? Will there be memories in the cave? Ice asked, surprised.

"Why doesn't the cave have a memory?" The man in black looked at Ice and asked softly, "In this world, every grass, tree, mountain, and stone can become an elf, why can't that cave have memories?" ”

"But...... But why did the memory of that cave suddenly appear in front of us? Ice asked.

"That's because its memories were suddenly released." The man in black said as he slowly pointed to a corner of the simple stone painting on the wall.

And following the direction of his finger, Ice and I realized that there was a small man with a knife in his hand and scratched his arm, and the blood flowed down the arm one by one, and flowed onto something like a globe, and the thing began to rotate in one direction after encountering blood.

"Hey!" The black man sighed and slowly continued: "Someone deliberately led you here, and then activated the dust swallower, and time began to loop indefinitely within a certain range, if you want to get out, you must kill all the people who enter here......"

He suddenly stopped when he said this, and then, he slowly lowered his head to look at the black-clothed man lying on the ground, and suddenly there was an indescribable change in his voice, and he continued in a trembling voice: "You can only kill everyone who enters here, and then pour the blood of these people on the body of the wheel macaque outside......"

At this point, the man in black began to cough incessantly, and after a long time, he slowly continued, "Blood is the only medium that can bring the macaque back to its slumber state. As soon as the macaque returns to its slumber state, the dust swallower will deviate slightly, and a gap in time will appear, and you will be able to escape from that gap. But ......"

"But what?" I asked.

"However, there was only enough time for one person to go out. So, it's up to you how you choose. When the man in black said this, he began to cough again, and he coughed in such pain that it was as if a stream of blood was gushing out of his mouth, and he could not continue for a while.

"Is this the only way to get us out?" Ice looked at him and asked word by word.

The man in black coughed for a long time before slowly raising his head to look at ice, then looked at the dense mathematical formula on the other side, and said slowly: "You are a very smart girl, there is naturally more than one way to escape from here, but you should know Einstein's time formula better than anyone else, you can calculate how many chances you can escape from here." So...... I advise you two to make a decision early. ”

The man in black let out a long sigh, and then said leisurely, "I have finished what I should say and do, and my mission is over here." I hope you can accomplish what we haven't done......"

As he said this, he slowly stretched out his right hand, as if he wanted to grab Ice's hand, but, somehow, the skin on his hand turned shriveled and dark in an instant, as if an extremely mysterious force had sucked every drop of blood and water in his body dry in an instant.

His hand didn't catch Ice's hand, and when his hand was halfway out, his whole body fell to the ground.
