Chapter 188: One Step Away (I)

The three of them made their way to the second floor and looked at the locked door of the arsenal.

Tang Qianlin stepped forward and picked up the lock: "Can you smash it open?" ”

Li Yunfan pointed to the side and said, "Next to it is the guard's duty room, and the key is in the drawer." ”

Liu Mouzheng opened the door of the duty room next to him, and found that there was indeed a guard sitting there reading a newspaper.

"The drawer on the left?" Liu Mouzheng glanced at Li Yunfan outside the door, and after Li Yunfan nodded, he stepped forward and opened the drawer on the left.

As soon as the drawer was opened, the guard threw down the newspaper and jumped up, and then retreated directly to the corner, as if he had seen a ghost.

Liu Mouzheng was stunned, Tang Qianlin and Li Yunfan were also puzzled, what was going on?

The people in Li Yunfan's embodied memories can actually see us?

Tang Qianlin stepped forward and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of the guard's eyes: "He doesn't seem to be able to see us, but if we touch something here, the people here will see it." ”

Liu Mou was picking up the key and holding it tightly in his hand, but the guard exclaimed, "Ghost! There are ghosts! ”

The guards pulled their legs and ran outside.

Liu Mouzheng said: "Oh no, ......"

Tang Qianlin asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Mouzheng said: "We stepped on the line. ”

Li Yunfan asked: "What does it mean to step on the line?" ”

Liu Mouzheng said: "Do you remember the experience that You Sifang told you? That is to step on the line, that is, we go to a part of another world without going through normal channels, and a part of another world has a crack for special reasons, causing the two parts to be combined. ”

Tang Qianlin remembered Hu Shuntang's words on the bridge, and blurted out: "Yin and Yang Seam? ”

Liu Mouzheng was very surprised: "How do you know that the yin and yang are sewn?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "The coffin opener named Hu Shuntang told me. ”

Li Yunfan wondered: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Let's open the door first, let's go see if the weapons here can be used." Liu Mouzheng opened the door of the arsenal with the key, looked at the small arms and equipment inside, "Check it first." ”

Everyone stepped forward, picked out their weapons, and held them in their hands, feeling no different from the real ones.

Li Yunfan picked up a pistol: "What the hell is going on?" Isn't it concretized because of my memories? Is there really a God? ”

Tang Qianlin packed up his weapons and equipment: "I think it's just that the definition is different, in the past, people would think that this phenomenon was divine power. ”

Li Yunfan seemed to be a little shaken: "Isn't that divine power?" ”

Tang Qianlin looked at Li Yunfan: "Maybe it's a dream." ”

"Dreams?" Li Yunfan was even more confused, "What do you mean?" ”

Tang Qianlin explained: "Remember when I told you about the Shaman Holy City under the Red Clay Tun? It didn't exist in the first place, it was created by Asda, a person from another dimension. Perhaps, when we enter the fourth layer, we enter an illusory space, and like the dream created by Asda, it feels real and does not actually exist. ”

Liu Mouzheng quickly denied it: "If it weren't for the reaction of the guard before, I'm afraid I would agree with your point of view, but this time it's different, I guess something big will happen." ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "Something is wrong?" What do you mean? ”

As soon as they said this, the three of them heard hurried footsteps, and then they heard the guard say, "The door to the arsenal has been opened!" ”

Subsequently, a group of agents and students from the Security Bureau walked into the weapons depot under the leadership of the guards, and Tang Qianlin and the three of them also put down the weapons in their hands and stood there looking at the people outside the door.

But the people outside the door didn't seem to be able to see them, Gao Shigui walked into the arsenal and looked around: "What you just said is true?" ”

The guard said, "Sir, how dare I lie? I was sitting there reading the newspaper and all of a sudden the drawer opened, and the key flew out on its own. ”

Gao Shigui frowned and said, "Could it be an excuse for your kid to steal something?" ”

The guard cried with a sad face: "Sir, this is the arsenal, I am a guard, I will lose my head if I lose something, how dare I shout to catch a thief?" ”

The three of them also found that at this time, the faces of Gao Shigui and the guards became clear.

When Liu Mou was gently grabbing the rifle next to him, the person at the door exclaimed, "The gun floated by itself!" ”

Liu Mouzheng realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Take the things, let's go quickly!" Fast! ”

Tang Qianlin and Li Yunfan hurriedly grabbed their bags, followed Liu Mouzheng and rushed to the door, and the people at the door only saw three bags floating in the air and flying towards this side, and quickly dodged away.

Seeing this, Gao Shigui pulled out his gun and shot at the position of the bag.

After three shots, the bullet passed directly through Tang Qianlin's body and hit the wall of the corridor solidly.

The three of them rushed out of the building without stopping, and as soon as they ran out of the door of the Security Bureau's training building, they noticed that the environment outside the door seemed to be changing.

The collapsed and decaying houses seemed to tremble, and the top of the pitch-black cave seemed to be torn open, and the blue sky was faintly visible in the torn part.

"Let's go!" Liu Mouzheng led the three of them out of the building and ran straight ahead.

After passing through the rubble, the three of them turned to look at the building again, only to find that the building was shaking, and Gao Shigui and the others were also standing at the door of the building, looking in this direction in wonder, and it was vaguely seen that more and more people were gathering there.

Li Yunfan rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, and sure enough, he found that the building was trembling, and it seemed to be moving quickly from side to side.

Liu Mouzheng said: "Sure enough, I stepped on the line." ”

Tang Qianlin asked: "What does it mean to step on the line?" ”

Liu Mouzheng explained: "Each world is next to each other, if you don't enter through the door, there is only one other way, which is to pass through the yin and yang cracks, but after we cross the yin and yang cracks into the world, the people in that world can't see us, but we can touch and use most of the things in that world, as if we think ghosts, this is called stepping on the line, of course, this behavior is called stepping on the line, I said, I once fell into it." ”

Li Yunfan asked: "But the building just now is something that is concretized through my memories?" ”

Liu Mouzheng said: "That's why I'm afraid, something is wrong. ”

Tang Qianlin suddenly thought of what Hu Shuntang said on the Nai He Bridge - "Remember, the course of history is always the same, and most of the details are the same. There are some things that no matter how they change, they will never affect the final outcome, unless someone uses this truth to force changes the future, which will lead to the collapse of the world, and the way to avoid it is to stop the people or organizations that try to do it. ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Could it be that someone wants to use these things to change something?" Liu Mouzheng, you said you fell into the yin and yang crack, how did you come back? ”

Liu Mouzheng said: "I took the bronze plate, found the gate of the Shaman Spirit Palace in that world, and came back, otherwise, I would really become a lonely ghost." ”

Tang Qianlin raised his eyes and looked at the lantern above, there was no doubt that all the problems were still on the high priest, only by entering the lantern and finding him could he know what the truth was.

Li Yunfan took out a flare gun from his bag and fired one upward.

In the dark, the flare rose into the air and slowly flew towards the position of the lantern, and the moment they passed the lantern, the three of them clearly saw that there seemed to be something like a rope hanging around the lantern, and after the top of the dark cave was illuminated, the three of them could also see clearly the dense black iron chains there.

"Sure enough, something was hanging." Liu Mouzheng looked carefully, "How do you go up?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Since this is a city in a cave, there must be cave walls around, right?" We can climb up the wall of the cave, climb to the top, and climb through the chain to the inside of the lantern. ”

Li Yunfan said: "Good idea. ”

Liu Mouzheng said: "Probably this is the only way." ”

The three of them ran towards the location of the cave wall, and finally after climbing the city wall, they found the cave wall hidden behind it, in other words, the fourth floor was still a cave, not the so-called other space.

After the three of them used tools to climb to the top of the cave, when they looked down, they found that the entire plane of the city below was exactly the same as the topographic map seen in the snow-covered ridge.

Li Yunfan's mind was full of questions: "What do those so-called creators want to do?" ”

When the three of them jumped up the chain to the lantern, they realized that the lantern was translucent when viewed closely, and the silhouette of the high priest in it could be clearly seen.

As they studied how to enter, the top of the lantern slowly unfolded like a lotus flower.

Tang Qianlin and the three jumped in, and after landing, Liu Mouzheng raised his gun and aimed at the high priest.

Tang Qianlin found that the lantern was filled with countless translucent masks, each of which had a different appearance, including men and women, old and young. Judging from the decorations on the face and hair, it seems that they belong to different ethnic groups, and in the center of the lantern is a bead suspended on the ground, which glows from time to time, and whenever the light is emitted, the surrounding masks absorb it and spread it to the bottom of the cave.

Tang Qianlin asked, "What's going on with all this?" ”

Liu Mou was putting the muzzle of his gun on the temple of the high priest: "Stop everything you do!" ”

The high priest said indifferently, "Everything will return to square one, and the cracks will get bigger and bigger." ”

Li Yunfan frowned: "What are you talking about?" ”

The High Priest continued: "I have failed, just as the Creators had done. ”

Tang Qianlin motioned for Liu Mouzheng to put down the gun, but Liu Mouzheng hesitated and slowly put the gun down.

Tang Qianlin said: "You didn't tell us the whole truth, what kind of place is this?" ”

The High Priest looked at the masks around him, "I just wanted to find them. ”

"Who?" Tang Qianlin asked patiently, "Who did you find?" ”

The High Priest said, "Although we belong to the descendants of the shamans of the Taya tribe, we were born into this world by the power of the Creator, so the task of each of our generations, in addition to continuing the unfinished work of the Creator, is also trying to follow in their footsteps, but unfortunately, we have been failing......"

The High Priest finally revealed the truth, the so-called Shamanic Spirit Palace is a simulated world, and the people who created this simulated world are a group of people who claim to be from another dimensional world and mistakenly break into this marginal area, and they call themselves marginal clans.
