Chapter 14: The Dungeon
Everything seems so bizarre in the Netherworld Tunnel, why is there no end to this staircase to the next level?
Gu Zhiming and his party stopped on the steps, waiting for Qiu Mingfeng's answer.
"Have you noticed that in this tunnel, everything is cyclical, and this is not a bottomless pit at all, but an endless whirlpool." Qiu Mingfeng said calmly and touched the wall with his hand.
Su Yao nodded and said, "That's right, I also noticed just now, the lines and wear of every three layers are amazingly similar, it feels like we have been circling in a tunnel, and we subconsciously thought that this was a tunnel leading to the underground." ”
Sun Cheng had been pondering at this time, catching a hint of clues. Gu Zhiming is constantly connecting everything that happens in his mind, the murals of the ancient dinosaur era, the monsters in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that appeared in the cave, the possible results of his father's research on the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the murals and sculptures of the three-headed and six-armed people, and the disappeared moth man and the missing Wang Ling...... These things constantly feed his brain and find a breakthrough little by little.
Qiu Mingfeng looked at the stars, thought for a while and said: "Although I think it's incredible, but at present, only this explanation makes sense, we don't exist in the world anymore!" ”
"What did you say?!" Sun Cheng was anxious, "Don't talk nonsense, you kid!" Let me tell you, now is not the time to joke, I just thought that there might be other intersections, and Wang Ling inadvertently crashed out! ”
"That's right! That's right! It's just another intersection. Qiu Mingfeng said calmly. Sun Cheng was confused, and then asked puzzledly: "Do you mean that we have strayed into Huangquan Road?" Have you already crossed the Nai Ho Bridge? Finished with calves? ”
Qiu Mingfeng shook his head and smiled, and with his left hand, he buckled a rock on the wall, and said, "The human world I am talking about is a three-dimensional space, and we are now in a four-dimensional space. ”
This sentence was like an empowerment, and Gu Zhiming suddenly found a clue:
"Then you mean to say that we have strayed into the four-dimensional space just now, which is an infinite loop space, and the door connecting the different dimensional spaces is the intersection you said."
Qiu Mingfeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right, it's not wrong at all." He turned his head to Sun Cheng and smiled at him without knowing the occasion, wanting to show friendship. But at this time, Sun Cheng's face was flushed, and the contrived smile only had a mocking meaning in his eyes, and he turned his head and muttered: "What's the big deal, I'm just afraid that everyone will be tired, just kidding." As for it. ”
Su Yao held her chin with her hand and said thoughtfully: "That is to say, we have to find the intersection and escape from this four-dimensional whirlpool, but where is the intersection, and what is the "heart" you just said." ”
Qiu Mingfeng turned around, stood with his legs pinned, leaned his back against the wall, crossed his hands on his chest, thought about it and said, "The problem is here, when we walked to the third lap, I was thinking, where is this intersection." I touched the wall with my hand and found nothing special, the doorway we came may have been, but we couldn't find it behind us, that is, it must be in this spiral tunnel, otherwise it would have no meaning. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Then I thought that this might be a prison, because there were two monsters in that cave just now: Xingtian and Hydra. Obviously, both of these appeared in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and that Xingtian was able to enter and exit this dungeon freely because of two points. First: It has appeared and vanished, using the sound waves of shouting to make the pipes in the city glow. Second: it is clearly similar to the Mothman in folklore, that is, he goes in and out of the dungeon and goes to the world alone. Therefore, on the wall of this tunnel, this deformed person with three heads and six arms should also appear in the depths of this tunnel. ”
Hearing this, Sun Cheng and Gu Zhiming swallowed their saliva, and Gu Zhiming said: "Then you mean that this is a four-dimensional prison that imprisons this three-headed and six-armed monster, so that he will never be able to get out?" ”
Qiu Mingfeng nodded again and said, "That's right, this is such a prison, but at the same time, it is also the heart of this strange city. Except for Su Yao, I don't think any of you know the general structure of this dungeon. ”
"What rough structure?!" Gu Zhiming and Sun Cheng asked together, feeling like they had been tricked, and said, "Then why don't you tell us in advance, you know so much!" ”
Qiu Mingfeng had an apologetic smile on his face at this time, and his hands were gently spread in front of him, as if to suppress the anger of the two of them.
"Listen to me, yes, we're not sure, but at first I was on the lower floor, and I saw a pattern, like a labyrinth. The overall shape is like the sail of a sailboat, and the magic is that it doesn't look like a pattern, but rather like a three-dimensional figure inlaid in the wall, which I can see through the transparent wall. I wondered at the time, and since then, I've had doubts about the space here, and every ripple is marked with the code-like text, but from what I understand the textual information, the outermost code should be 1 2 3 4 5. At that time, I looked at the picture and probably deduced that my position was 3, that is, it was 3D space. ”
A desire for knowledge appeared on Sun Cheng's face this time, and he hurriedly asked: "That means that we are now on the fourth layer, so we are in the four-dimensional space, and in addition, there are one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and five-dimensional spaces. Like science fiction, if it's a four-dimensional space, then time is also a part of it, so we loop infinitely. ”
Qiu Mingfeng leaned against the wall and nodded, and said, "But it's not easy to make a conclusion directly now, but I don't think let's go down, the intersection is in the middle of it." I feel like I've found it. ”
Su Yao grabbed Qiu Mingfeng's hand, shook him vigorously and said, "Hurry up!" There are no brains! When is it now, with your character, if it weren't for me, I would have died hundreds of times! ”
Qiu Mingfeng hurriedly smiled and apologized, but his expression was really embarrassing, which made Su Yao's face black.
"That's right, I just saw a lot of doubts about this mural, no matter which way you look at it, the eyes of this three-headed and six-armed man seem to be facing us, and if I read it right, this pattern is flowing......."
Su Yao cheered up all of a sudden, swallowed and spat at the same time, took out the saber from her schoolbag, and said nervously and a little excitedly: "So that's the case, you can observe it, Ming Feng." ”
Sun Cheng was a little stunned, staring blankly at the deformed figure on the wall. Gu Zhiming's eyes were surprised after that, and then his neck was cold, and after a while, he was afraid, and pulled out the ancient knife.
Qiu Mingfeng smiled confidently, stroked his golden hair with his hand, and said:
"That's right, this deformed figure is alive, a monster imprisoned in this four-dimensional space, except that he is sealed on a two-dimensional wall, constantly following us. And now, we're going to smash the wall and release him into a three-dimensional object in this four-dimensional space, and kill it, I think the intersection is behind this wall! Then he unarmed his right hand, and a pair of translucent dragon claws that shone with purple light appeared in front of everyone, and the fluorescence around them instantly dimmed The mechanical claws of his right hand were already ready to shatter the wall.
Everyone was shocked, Gu Zhiming and Sun Cheng suspected that this was a dream, and it was a fantasy dream, the four-dimensional space was incredible, this ghost dragon hand, what is going on, is it a dream? Or is it a reflection of the dream in reality?
Su Yao's eyes turned red, and she said with some tears: "Mingfeng, I understand, it turns out that this is the case, you can only survive at that time." ”
Qiu Mingfeng's figure stood in front of her, and said firmly, like a speech before a big event: "I have always believed that fate is certain, and it is precisely because of this that I never regret every decision I have made, because no matter how I choose, it is destined to be right." Going to Kunlun Mountain with you is the most correct thing in my life. ”
Su Yao burst into tears, but quickly wiped it with her hand and whispered, "Thank you, Windy." Then his eyes quickly sharpened, like a sharp knife, trying to cut the monster in the wall with a thousand knives.
"Everyone, get ready, it's coming!" The mechanical hand in Qiu Mingfeng's right hand shattered the wall at once, and the bricks and stones splashed.
In the thick smoke, a pair of eyes as bright as light bulbs opened, followed by the shape of three heads and six arms.
All four men held weapons in their hands and kept a distance.
I saw that the black shadow of the monster opened its mouth and let out a strange laugh: "Gohahaha, I didn't expect you to really see the mystery here." But that's just the tip of the iceberg of the dungeon, and you'll probably be shocked when you know the shape and structure of the entire base. Human beings will never be able to understand and accept their own imagination. ”
This meeting surprised all four people, the monster that can speak, what is it?
The mysterious journey to the dungeon of Manta Mountain, like a long flow of water and the Milky Way, flows little by little, and this eternal adventure begins to spin like a whirlpool...... Many years later, when they look back, that's how it all began.
The first step in the journey of deciphering the code of the world has finally been taken!
