Then, Li Ling, like a teacher, began to explain, the so-called Hanging Soul Ladder is a twenty-three layers of stone steps, the scientific name should be called the Hanging Soul Ladder, and it is also called the Panrose Ladder in foreign countries, this design principle has been lost for thousands of years, many mathematicians and scientists are obsessed with this way, some views believe that this is a digital hypnosis method, deliberately leaving a mark or digital information to confuse the walker, the legendary Soul Ladder, is actually a very powerful technique, but it requires some specific conditions, such as walls, steps, the coordination of light and phantoms, etc.

Mathematicians believe that this is a complex structure of the number model, in which there is only one staircase, in fact, it extends in all directions, the crescent-shaped mark is a trap, the mark is actually gradually deviating on the steps, plus these steps and stone walls, may be smeared with an ancient secret recipe, absorbing light paint, more difficult to identify the direction, once you pay attention to this information, it will make people make logical judgment errors, thinking that it is a straight line, in fact, unconsciously on the fork in the road, Going around in circles on the fork in the road, and finally losing the sense of direction completely, the difference between the steps is very small, which may be designed to give people the illusion of high and low drops.

She told us so much, meaning to tell us that the principle here is very likely to be the same as the Soul Hanging Ladder, and as for how to crack it, Li Ling also came up with a way.

She told us to continue in three groups, with one person standing at each of the three entrances, and the other three of us closing our eyes and ears and rushing in as fast as we could, so that we would meet at a node, the place that confuses us, and if we find that place, we will be able to crack the mechanism.

I chose the entrance on the far left, the speed of the three female comrades was relatively slow and did not participate, waiting for Li Ling to "run", I and black sunglasses, and yellow hair rushed in at once, in the process of running, I was completely in a state of closed hearing and vision, just running in a straight line, suddenly, the head seemed to stick to the wall, although it was only a light wipe, but I knew that I was definitely not running in a straight line, here, it seemed to be slowly changing direction, but, at the beginning, Why didn't Black Sunglasses say about it.

This is a subconscious behavior, when people feel that they are about to hit the wall, they will subconsciously deviate from it, just like that, little by little, the direction has been changing, and the sense of sight and hearing is closed in time, but the sense of touch is not closed.

I continued to run in a straight line, and sure enough, my arm wiped the wall again, this time, I continued to run along this route, and the feeling of touching the wall became more and more obvious, just when I found this principle, suddenly, the whole body hit a person's body, and when I opened my eyes, it was Liang Qiu, and he also looked at me in a daze.

"This is it!"

After I said, I began to look around, here, it should be the node of this labyrinth, I observed it like this, sure enough, there is a fork in the road here, I don't know when it appeared, but I don't know why I haven't found it before, is this the so-called blinding method after confusing the six senses? It's a very strange thing, and I've made a mark here.

Take Liang Qiu to enter the fork in the road first, the rest of the people should see this mark, and then they will also enter, Liang Qiu and I will go first to make a front stop.

It's not very long here, and, I found that this passage is completely different, the surrounding carved patterns are very obvious, and, the style has become more complicated, it didn't take long, Liang Qiu and I came to the end, there is no mechanism or anything like that at the end, and it is a waterhole, it should be groundwater, I reached out and touched it, the tentacles were very cold, and I used a flashlight to shine around, and found that this is a dead end, there is only such a waterhole at the end, the penetration of the wolf's eye flashlight is very strong, but, As soon as the flashlight went down, the depth was almost invisible, and it seemed that the water was very deep.

"Brother Yun, are we going wrong" Liang Qiu asked me in a low voice.

I shook my head and told him, "No, I don't believe the makers of this mechanism would go to such great lengths to hide such a thing. ”

Besides, this ancient Li site can't be such a puddle of water, I stood here and thought for a long time, and suddenly, I thought of a guess, could it be that it is under the water? This possibility is very high, the entrance to the ruins, it is very likely to be underwater, but, how to go down is a problem, my water is okay, but, after all, it is not professional, diving to find the entrance, the difficulty is still relatively large.

After a while, there were a few footsteps behind me, and when I looked back, it was Anna, and I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and asked, "What about them?" ”

Anna, too, seemed a little confused, and she told me in broken Chinese: "I... I don't know... We found your mark and walked in, and walked and walked, and it was just me. ”

I was a little dazed by what she said, and then I asked a few times before I learned that after they saw my mark, they also found this entrance, but, after walking for a while, they found that there were a few fewer people, and then, they hurried to look for it, but they didn't find anyone, and, looking for it, there were fewer people, only Anna and the other two boys, Anna was anxious to find Li Ling, and couldn't help but speed up her pace, she thought that Li Ling might go faster, but, walking and walking, the two boys behind him also disappeared inexplicably, In her words, there were obviously footsteps and talking behind her, but Shi, just like suddenly, the footsteps and talking disappeared, and when she looked back, there was no one behind her.

Anna was scared at the time, so she walked briskly for a short time, and when she arrived here, she saw the two of us, and then she was relieved, and kept saying, "It's terrible, it's really terrible"

At this time, anxiety can not be solved, but will make yourself confused, I had to force myself to calm down, light a cigarette, now the best way, it seems that there is only one, that is to walk back, walk back along the same road, I believe, if those other people can't find the way or get lost, will also want to go back, I don't believe that people will disappear inexplicably, there must be a mechanism.

I comforted them a few words, telling them not to worry, there doesn't seem to be a lethal mechanism here, and there is no wall that would trap me to death, it seems that the person who designed this mechanism just wanted to expel outsiders, and now that I am here, I naturally don't want to just withdraw like this, and it is not easy to come in, so I let the two of them go back along the road, I want to try to dive underwater.

Anna very much agrees with this decision, but Liang Qiu refuses, this kid didn't expect to have such a stubbornness, he had to follow me down, and said that his water nature was okay, Anna refused to go alone, I could see that she was a little scared, but she also refused to stay here and wait for us, for this, I really had a headache, and I slandered in my heart, this is really a drag oil bottle, but it's not good to just ignore her.

In the end, she agreed to dive and, to my surprise, she was the best of the three of us, and in her words, she was a lover of swimming and diving.

None of us brought professional diving tools, no one would have thought that in this arid desert, diving tools would be used, fortunately, most of the supplies on the body are waterproof, we threw the backpack on the ground, first go down to find the entrance, find it and then come back to pick up the backpack, the first to go down is me and Anna, Liang Qiu is waiting on it.

Such a pool of water surrounded by darkness all around, it seems dark and secluded, in addition to the bottomless, always makes people have an inexplicable fear, although Anna is better in water, but, she is still a little afraid of this environment, but, in order to quickly find the entrance, or stubbornly jumped with me, as soon as I entered the water, I felt that the whole body was invaded by the cold, the groundwater is very cold, absolutely can not stay for a long time, not to mention, my diving breath time, at most a little more than a minute, time is tight, must be fast.

Dark underwater, nothing can be seen at all, the light of the flashlight is also very faint here, it is difficult to see the environment below, just when I just entered the water and was a little confused, Anna suddenly grabbed me with a hand, I have to say, this foreign beauty is really good in water, so pulled me to dive to the edge little by little, she made a few gestures with her fingers in my palm underwater, I felt it, she meant to say, the entrance should not be too deep, it must be in the edge area, It won't be underwater.

I agreed with her suspicion, and the two of us fumbled around the edge for a while, and soon, I felt that I could not hold my breath anymore, so I rose to the surface with all my might, took a few big breaths, and then dived again, but Anna had been ventilating several times less than I had on average, proving that she had been holding her breath much longer than mine.

After just a few times, we were a little tired, so we swam back, when the cold under the water seemed to have been accustomed, or numb, after coming up to feel particularly cold, sitting around the gas lamp, there is still some warmth, Liang Qiu hurriedly set up a smokeless stove, after a while, we only eased up a little, ate something, drank some water, moved my body, I was ready to go down again.

Anna was more crisp than me this time, directly a fierce stabbing down, I also hurriedly jumped down, once again surrounded by the cold, but also gradually got used to it, still repetitive movements and continuous groping, during which I went ashore twice to rest, I don't know how long later, Anna suddenly surfaced and shouted at me.
