(Foreword)

The road ahead was thorny and bumpy, but there was no turning back.

I clasped it with both hands, and then turned the mechanism vigorously, and suddenly the door that had been closed in front of me opened slowly again, but this time the door was not suddenly closed, and it seemed that my judgment was correct.

This time, the ground that had fallen had become flat again, and Zhang Han was finally able to move his feet, and hope appeared in front of us again.

We walked out of the open door, and in front of us was another narrow walkway, and I ran forward, and it didn't take long for me to come to the end of the walkway.

"There's no way again...... Zhang Han said.

It's not easy to find a path, and now it's impossible to move forward...

In front of us was a huge wall with patterns carved into it, but I couldn't understand what it meant.

"There's a pattern on this wall." I walked a few steps, but I had never seen the pattern before, let alone understood the meaning of it. If Lin Yun was here, he might be able to figure out some of the content on the wall.

"It's like it's telling something. I don't really understand either. Zhang Han looked at the pattern on the wall and said.

At the beginning, it seemed like an attempt to depict a group of people walking into a huge mechanism, and then I couldn't understand the pattern at all.

"Cheng Yin, there doesn't seem to be any mechanism here, it seems that it is not easy to leave here." Zhang Han said after careful observation.

"Yes, it looks like we're having a new problem." It's completely different here than before, there are no hints and no mechanisms to push, it's like an unsolvable proposition, no matter how you change your thinking, there is no way to solve it.

"Cheng Yin, what do you think?" Zhang Han walked in front of the wall and touched the pattern on the wall with his hand.

"I think these patterns might be a hint to us, but we don't know what they mean right now." These patterns seem to be unrelated, but I always feel that these patterns should express one thing.

"Cheng Yin, you see that this first picture depicts a group of people walking towards a huge labyrinth, do you think these people mean us?" Zhang Han asked.

In fact, Zhang Han's hypothesis has also been considered, but from the second picture, this hypothesis is completely untenable, the second pattern depicts a prosperous scene, a bit similar to the streets of the city, with crowds of people on it, very lively, if the first picture can still refer to us, this second pattern, it is a bit far-fetched.

"I've thought about it too, but this second painting doesn't make sense......" I thought to myself.

"That's right, it's impossible to have anything to do with the city, isn't it ......" Zhang Han hesitated.

"What's wrong? What new discoveries have you made? ”

"I just wanted to say, could it mean we're back in the city?" Zhang Han smiled, obviously he also felt that this assumption was a bit strange.

"It shouldn't be so easy, Murong Feng carefully designed this labyrinth in order to be able to separate a winner from Old Mr. Ouyang Yu, so the mechanism here must not be so easy.

Zhang Han looked a little lost: "Cheng Yin, then who do you think is more powerful than Mr. Ouyang Yu's 'Strange Array'?" ”

Zhang Han's question caught me off guard again, usually he basically doesn't care about what other people think, but this time he actually cares about the victory or defeat between Mr. Ouyang Yu and Murong Feng.

"I think it's better to have a 'strange array', if the labyrinth here can be compared to an exquisite palace, then Mr. Ouyang Yu's 'odd array' is a vast world." Personally, I think this is a fitting analogy.

"Oh, so that's ......" Zhang Han smiled: "I also think that the maze here is not a big deal, we will definitely go out." ”

I don't know why, I noticed that Zhang Han was lost for a moment, but soon he smiled again.

"yes, we'll definitely get out." I looked at Zhang Han.

I don't know how to get out of here, but I believe that if we don't give up, we can get out of here.

The third painting on the wall depicts a natural landscape, and the whole pattern is a beautiful mountain and flowing water.

"There is no connection between these paintings at all." Zhang Han said.

I touched the carved patterns, and suddenly I found something, the first pattern has obvious carving marks, and the subsequent patterns, although there are also carving marks, but the notches are completely different from the patterns I see, this feeling is like seeing an apple, but to the touch it feels like an orange.

"No, the pattern on this wall is wrong!" I stared at the patterns on the wall: "These patterns are not what we see at all."

"Cheng Yin, I don't understand what you said, what's different from what it seems?" Zhang Han looked at me but didn't know what I was talking about.

"If the patterns on this are not what we see, and these seemingly unconnected patterns are just deliberately meant for us to see, then the situation is completely different."

"Cheng Yin, you mean, the pattern on the wall is just so that we can't know the real pattern?" Zhang Han seemed to understand a little.

"yes, I guess it's just a simple holographic projection." Now there's a new problem, because I know that what we have in front of me is only holographic projection technology, but we can't turn it off right now, so we won't be able to know the real pattern on the stone wall.

"What should I do?" Zhang Han asked anxiously.

I also have a headache for this, and now we know that the pattern we see on this wall is not the real pattern, but there is nothing we can do.

It's not easy to turn off holographic projection, it's not as simple as turning off the lights.

Maybe I want to think of another way, I flipped through the backpack prepared by Cui Li, in addition to water and food, all that was left was the escape hammer I used just now, as well as a pen and some paper, I flipped through it again, and suddenly a bottle rolled out, I picked it up and looked at it, it turned out to be rescue spray paint.

The so-called rescue spray paint is generally used for mountaineering or exploration, due to bad weather or loss of direction, on the flat open space to write some rescue signals and so on.

But we're in the basement of the building, and no one will see it even if we use this salvage paint.

It seemed that there was really no hope, I put my backpack next to me and looked at the stone wall in front of me, it was so ridiculous, it was clear that the answer was in front of us, I could even feel it, but I couldn't see it......

I kicked the salvage paint so hard that the bottle hit the stone wall and bounced back.

I looked at the salvage paint that was back at my feet, then at the open backpack, and suddenly thought of a way to see the real pattern on the wall.

"Zhang Han! I've got a way!! I shouted with joy.

"You didn't seem to have a way to do it just now, why did you think of a way so quickly now?"

I picked up the rescue paint on the ground and said, "It's all up to this." ”

"Salvage spray paint? Do you expect someone to come back to us? Zhang Han looked incredulous.

"You'll find out soon enough." I opened the lid of the salvage spray paint and sprayed the second and third paintings on the wall vigorously, because of the holographic projection, even if I sprayed the paint, we couldn't see it, and it was the two city streets and natural scenery that appeared in front of us.

"Cheng Yin, I said this is a holographic projection, it's useless to do this."

I didn't pay attention to his words, but walked over to the side of my backpack, took out a lot of paper from it, and pasted it all on the wall.

"Cheng Yin, you can actually think of this way." Zhang Han revealed a look of admiration.

"It's a bit old-fashioned, but I think it should work well." I pressed the paper attached to the wall, and since the wall was relatively large, I used a lot of paper to put it together to cover the two patterns completely.

I looked at the time on my watch, and it should be OK, so I took the paper off the wall.

Then we carefully put the paper together, and sure enough, the pattern on the wall was completely rubbed by us.
