Chapter 112: Endless Graveyard (3)
What's more, there are so many of us, Ah Chuan is so sober, he can even see Brother Shen's intentions, he will follow Brother Shen to the Tao?
If it is really a ghost hitting the wall, it can only mean that the tomb is too well designed, and none of us can see through it, so even if we know, we still can't get out.
The safest solution to the ghost wall is to wait for the dawn, we can't do it, in fact, there is another way, that is, close your eyes and rely on intuition, which can be tried.
I looked at Ah Chuan, he was still thinking, they must have thought of all the ways I could think of, I don't know why they didn't say it.
I glanced at the fallen stone figurines, although it was lying down, its smile was still mad, I had mixed feelings in my heart, we really entered the trap, now look at it again but not so weird, people who really enter despair will have inexplicable courage, even death is in front of them, what is it to be scary?
I suddenly had a nameless fire, and I really wanted to kick it to vent, but I didn't, kicking it was useless except for making my feet hurt, and I wasn't the kid I used to be when I was angry.
"I mean, it doesn't have to be a problem, is it?" Lao Huang suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence, "Maybe this stone figurine was originally upside down?" β
Everyone was stunned, so did I, I looked at Lao Huang and my mind was confused, I actually had a feeling of being stunned, what Lao Huang said was not unreasonable, since it is impossible to go back, it is really possible to be like what he said.
The smarter the person, the easier it is to drill the horns, and I rekindle hope in my heart, Lao Huang is right, the stone figurines we have always seen are standing, and we take it for granted that it should stand, maybe the designer is taking advantage of this psychology, so that we collapse due to despair, and give up our own way of life.
Psychology is the easiest to break, this method is too superb, but since Lao Huang can think of it, the designer may also think of it, after all, here the stone figurines are easy to get at their fingertips, and normal people will choose to use it as a mark.
"Are you serious?" Ah Chuan spoke, and he seemed to feel that Lao Huang was a little whimsical.
Lao Huang glanced at him: "Nonsense, who can afford to joke at this time." β
Ah Chuan stood up and breathed a sigh of relief: "Then try it." β
To be honest, I also think this is unlikely, but there is a slight possibility to try, we are already desperate, if Lao Huang's conjecture is really confirmed, then everything about the strange power can be ruled out, speaking of which, why should we doubt Lao Huang's opinion, the ghost hitting the wall is obviously much weirder than this.
We set off again, using the previous cross turn, but this time everyone was much calmer, I was uneasy, and I could only keep praying, Lao Huang said the best right, I have nothing else to ask for, as long as I can get out, I am not afraid of what kind of Longtan tiger's den.
In order to distinguish, we chose to lean on the side of the tomb road to see the stone figurines seen along the way, if the designer really placed some fallen stone figurines, it is impossible to put some oblique ones, if we do not go back, we will never see the inclined stone figurines.
I don't know the bottom of my heart, but it's much better than before, hope is a good thing, we didn't run anymore, just walked silently, the Gu King seems to be lost in the intricate tombs, they don't matter anymore.
I don't know how long I walked, Brother Shen's footsteps suddenly paused, and I saw that the two stone figurines at the fork in front of me were upside down, and my heart suddenly chuckled.
I glanced at Lao Huang, his face was very stinky, but it didn't mean anything, if the designer could put down one, there might be a second, we still have hope, but the hope is even slimmer.
I don't dare to say that I already have desperate thoughts in my heart, it's okay to see it once, but the second time will inevitably have an impact on the psychological defense, I can only try to think in the best direction, I hope everything goes well.
Brother Shen lifted up the upside-down stone figurines and leaned against the wall, the stone figurines tilted their heads, the smile on the corners of their mouths became even more playful, and even their round eyes became crooked, as if they were laughing at our incompetence.
I took a deep breath and glared at it fiercely, and after glaring at it, I felt that I was so naΓ―ve, and it was not a living thing, so what was the use of me staring at it?
We continued to move forward, I didn't see the fallen stone figurines again, my heart settled down a little, more and more stone figurines were tilted by us, we never looked back, I felt that my confidence was back.
However, reality soon gave us a shining slap in the face, and when I saw the leaning stone figurine, I felt that the blood was flowing backwards all over my body.
Everyone stood still, everyone sighed softly, and they all came together to form a small sigh, Lao Huang's face was darkened, and his guess was completely mislabeled.
Sure enough, it was a ghost hitting the wall, and although I was ready to fail, my heart was still empty and uncomfortable, and if I could really explain it with a clear reason, I didn't want to be involved in anything weird.
We sat down again, it seemed that the force supporting us was gone, the atmosphere froze for a long time, and Brother Shen spoke: "Could it be that there are stone figurines that are the right way?" β
I thought he was going to talk about ghosts hitting the wall, but he came up with another, more scientific theory, and he didn't seem to want to associate it all with metaphysics.
"There are two stone figurines in some places, and there are no stone figurines in some places, how do you get there?" Lao Huang asked.
"Where there are two, mark the one you go, and if there is no place, you can't go, and go back the way you came."
It's a feasible solution, but the scope to be explored is much larger than simply crossing corners, we are now desperate, as long as there is a way, we have to try, and the choice is the best, I dare not imagine what it would be like if we were driven to a real dead end.
We went on the road again, Ah Chuan took out a knife and carved a clear mark on the face of the stone figurines, obviously after resting for a long time, I still felt that my legs and feet were weak, and it would be better if I kept walking.
In fact, I am already very tired, the physical burden is nothing, the main thing is that the mental pressure makes me on the verge of collapse, I have no passion to test Lao Huang's theory, can the place that can trap all of us, will it really be so easy to crack?
Maybe this is another psychological war? I don't dare to think about it anymore, I can only force myself to take a reassuring pill, maybe the tomb owner just thought that we would think in the complex, so he deliberately designed the truth to be so simple.
There was a fork in the road, there were stone figurines on both sides, we chose the left side to mark it, and I was very uneasy, the range we had to go was growing exponentially, and we were probably going through all this huge area and not be able to find an exit.
If this is really the case, then I will definitely be completely desperate, even if there is any way I probably don't want to confirm it, there are stone figurines may be alive, on the contrary, there are no stone figurines may also be alive, if these two relative possibilities are verified, it is estimated that we will have to walk for a few days and nights.
A few days and nights is still a conservative estimate, and I don't notice the passage of time, and we have probably been walking here for a few days and nights.
I've been through so much along the way, falling off cliffs and being attacked, and so many terrifying poisonous insects, but none of them make me more desperate than here, and the real dead end is not injury and distress, but hopelessness.
The dead end came faster than I thought, and there was another fork in the road ahead, but there were no stone figurines on either side, so we had to go back the way we came, and go to the other side.
Everyone turned around and walked silently, Xiao Qi became the first, it doesn't matter, the method is very simple, whoever walks in front is the same.
We returned to the fork in the road we had just passed, and the marks on the stone figurine's face were so clear that they looked like a scar from a distance, and it sank into the darkness, becoming more and more strange and hideous.
We walked to the other side, and Achuan began to make marks again, and the sound of the knife slashing on the stone was very harsh, and it spread far away into the three tombs, and there were strange echoes all around.
We walked in, this tomb road looks very familiar, but the stone figurines at the intersection are still standing, we haven't walked through, in fact, these tombs are almost the same, I also deliberately looked at it when I verified Lao Huang's idea, there are many repetitions of the carvings on both sides, the designer simply made the confusion to the extreme, if we didn't walk in person, I would definitely praise this exquisite design.
The tomb road came to the end again, I saw a stone figurine at the entrance of the tomb road from a distance, and my heart couldn't help but chill, it seems that we passed here, but did not choose this tomb road, but walked the other side.
It's probably not as big as I thought, we took a lot of repetitive paths, but it's as intricate as a spider's web, even in the places we have passed, there are always forks in the road that we haven't taken, we are exploring little by little, which seems to be a good thing, if all the forks are explored, that's when you go out.
But no one knows how big it is, and we can't hold on to that time, the materials and physical strength are limited, and when the water and food are exhausted, even if we have the heart, we are powerless.
Food and water are scarce, the pressure on my heart is increasing, despair is the most terrible enemy, I can't help but think of a famous test I once watched, a man was blindfolded, slashed on his wrist with the back of a knife, and then the sound of water droplets was played, and he died in despair and fear even though he was not injured.
I don't know how similar we are to this person, but I'm not far from that.
At the end of this cemetery there are stone figurines on one side and not on the other, and the stone figurines have fallen, and it seems that we have indeed walked there, but we don't know which side we walked on in the first place.
It was really troublesome, we carved a mark on the stone figurines and continued to move forward, I remember that there were many forks in the road where there were no stone figurines on either side, but we walked six or seven grave paths all of them, and God seemed to be making it more difficult for us.
