175. Bet
I was incredulous about the analysis, and he said that he had been wrong, and that the black soft things we encountered were the same as those in front of us, not caused by mechanisms, but by the presence of microorganisms in these two rock layers. The microorganisms are like cells that erode into the stone layer, and they can control their form at will, and when these cells slowly become home, it is like life.
This explanation was so general that I still looked sleepy. He probably wanted to pull the corners of his mouth and smile at me, but his facial muscles stiffened, and he only saw a slight pull, and then said: "These things originally existed in this space in a state of balance, but we destroyed the balance, first the madman knocked off the protective film derived from them on the surface of the white rock, and then we used an electric drill pen to open it, so that it came into contact with the air, and the inside began to change." Figuratively speaking, the white rock is their flesh and blood, and the limestone is the epidermis, and when the epidermis is broken, the flesh inside is exposed, and we dig many holes in it, thus destroying the original balance structure. ”
I think I understand what he means, "You mean that these two walls don't actually exist, but that the stone layer on the top has caused the internal structure to be disordered and abnormal because of this destruction, so that this place is used as a fulcrum to move to a certain limit on both sides, and the top begins to soften and fall under the influence of gravity, until it connects with the ground to form a wall." ”
Nodding his head one after another, "And the reason why the wall moves closer to this place is precisely because the rock formations above the head are constantly pulling away to the sides and then falling from the stone wall, perhaps the microbes themselves are also controlling their 'bodies' to move closer to the balance disruption." ”
The principle can be explained, but the main question at hand is: what to do? Seeing that the fog was dispersed, the stone walls on both sides were searched with flashlights, and they could be seen faintly. One after another, he suddenly stuffed something into my hand, and he picked me up, and I asked in amazement, "What are you doing?" He looked down to find that what he had stuffed into his hand was a green ball with a faint green glow, the same one that the madman had obtained in the pit of the black soft body before.
I only heard what he said one after another: "Xiao Jiu, listen to me, the top is already hollow, I am supporting you underneath, and you climb up." This bead was taken out of the hole by a madman, and if the same microbes are at work in both encounters, then it might be able to help you. ”
I didn't think it was right, why did he say this as if he was explaining the aftermath, he grabbed his arm that lifted me up and asked urgently, "What about you?" Do you want to come up too? He was silent and said: "If I want to go up, you have to climb up first, hurry up Xiaojiu, get your head into it first, and find out if there is a focus around it, it's too late." "The situation is urgent, I can't afford to hesitate left and right, after the head drilled into the hole, I smelled a strange smell, it was really empty, the fulcrum point was easy to find, but this mouth was too small, and it was difficult to squeeze the head into the back shoulder.
At that time, there seemed to be a thought flashing in his mind, but he was diverted by the successive urging from below: "Xiao Jiu, hurry up." I was in a hurry, my left shoulder sank, my right shoulder was raised, half of it went up, and then regardless of the pain of the friction between my left shoulder and the stone layer, I grabbed a certain place and climbed up hard, and when I finally climbed to the top, I looked down while panting, and saw that I was also raising my head one after another, and reached out and said, "Come, I'll pull you up." ”
But one after another did not stretch out his hand, but stood at the bottom and looked at me with gentle eyes, his heart suddenly cooled, and he realized what the thought had flashed just now, and when he spoke again, his voice was already astringent: "Come up, one after another." ”
He shook his head and smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu, you have already thought of it, I can't go up, that hole is too small, your shoulders are worn out when you squeeze in, and my body can't squeeze in at all." I was furious: "What are you? Sacrificing yourself to save me? One after another, you listen, I don't want it! When he had finished yelling, he wanted to stretch out his feet.
His face changed one after another, and he said urgently: "Xiao Jiu, don't be impulsive, listen to me, I'm not going to die." Most of this white rock has flowed to both sides, and the external surface limestone at this gap has become hard, and I think it is impossible to enter like you, so I can only rely on you. It means that you are now in the body of this huge biological system, let's gamble, bet that the white rock microbes encountered now are the same as the previous black rocks, I suspect that the ball in your hand was accidentally taken down by a madman is equivalent to destroying its heart system, so you have to find something in its body that can also be a heart, so that it can be destroyed. ”
"What if you lose the bet?" I can't gamble with my life. Instead, he smiled frankly: "If you lose the bet, you can only accompany the madman, I guess he is quite bored there, so I will educate him." ”
He was joking, but I was very sad to hear it. He whispered from below: "Xiao Jiu, don't cry." Slightly stunned, he found that his vision was blurred, and he said: "I estimate that the two walls will be closed in about five to ten minutes at most, maybe this thing is to connect the two ends so as to get the structural balance again, so you have to save time and find it as quickly as possible, Xiao Jiu, I believe you can do it." His tone was relaxed, without the slightest fear of life and death.
But I can't be like him, I'm scared to death, but if there is a possibility, I don't want to let him out of sight at this moment. But I didn't have a choice, I bit my lip and turned my head to crawl, there was only one flashlight left, and in succession, the hole was already small, and I climbed with both hands and feet for a while, and then sank into the darkness. The tears have stopped, and the face is cold, at this time the tears are not worth the matter, and they say that it is only five to ten minutes, and I can only count it as five minutes, so there must not be any emotions to affect the judgment.
The direction I subconsciously chose just now was on the right, and I was really betting with God, because I couldn't have time to go back and choose the left to look for it. In addition, there is a thought that I dare not think about, and if I touch it, I will completely lose my mind.
When the silent count exceeded three minutes, a chill rose in my heart. Lie to me one after another! The thought poured into him, and he used the green ball to fool me, in fact, he had already known that this white rock was not the same creature as the black soft object, and deliberately tricked me out of the hole.
This thought is planted in my brain and I dare not think about it, once I think about it, I can't stop, I tremble and turn around, there is only one question left in my mind: how is he now? For if it were really what I thought, then he could not have waited where he had been after he had deceived me out of sight, and he would have done something to cut me off any possible thoughts.
Crushing my teeth and swallowing blood is nothing more than my mood at the moment, and even the blood is surging, and my throat is itchy. Because of my childhood experience, I crawled faster than ordinary people on the ground, and at this time it was doubled, and when I saw the light in front of me, my heart was relieved, the light was still there, and it was still underneath. But when I climbed closer, my whole body stiffened, and I could see where the light source was coming from, and the flashlight was lying peacefully on the edge of the gap.
The brain is buzzing and thinking: what about succession? By the time I got to the point, my whole body was wooden, my scalp was numb, and the gap was two feet below, and the limestone was slowly growing taller to fill in the hole. It really deceived me one after another, not only the green ball, but also the time when the two walls merged, and in my back and forth, the walls closed, and he really followed in the footsteps of the madman and was swallowed up by the gray stone wall.
Staring at the taller and taller limestone, the corners of his mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc. Bio Balance! It wants to repair the previously disrupted balance by filling in the reflux, will I let you do it? I forgot that microorganisms are also living beings, as long as they are living things, they can transmit sound waves, and my ability to drive animals may not be able to control them, but destruction is still possible. I have never used this method, because Brother Yu said that this is a stupid way to burn jade, unless you beg for death. I'm begging to die right now, and if it doesn't come up, it will be swallowed up anyway.
Leaning back against the wall, accumulating qi in my abdomen, letting that qi rise little by little, rolling bigger and bigger like a cotton ball, and when I reached my chest, I felt pain in my heart every time I took a breath, and just when I wanted to spurt out the blood that was pressed against my throat, so that the qi and blood could be combined to send out an audio that could destroy any living thing, I suddenly felt a surge of heat in my heart, and it actually melted the blood qi that I had accumulated.
I turned around with my heart covered, and was shocked to see a faint green light emanating from the stone layer behind me, and the ball that I had casually stuffed in my pocket shot out a stronger green light than before, as if it had been sensed. I instinctively took it out and approached it, and miraculously, the stone layer softened and opened, revealing the same orb as in my hand.
In contrast, the one that grows inside is brighter, like a ghost lamp in the underworld, I don't know if it's my illusion, it feels like it's still flashing. Increasingly, it is said that this ball may be the heart of the microbial formation of strange stones, and the only way to destroy this whole system is to cut off its heart. I didn't hesitate to reach for it, but found that it was so hot that I could almost feel the skin on my hand rolling, but I didn't let go, my eyes were staring, silently counting one, two, three, and pulling back with all the strength of my body.
It felt like it was really pulling a lifeline, and the moment the ball broke away from the wall, I saw the white rocks around it twisting and turning, and then the whole space began to spin. The instinctive reaction I could do was to hold my head with both hands, and hold on to the balls in one hand. Tumbling and reversing, and going on and on, until then my head was drowsy, and when I closed my eyes, I thought: I'm really in love.
Only when you fall in love will you feel that death is not terrible.
He was swallowed up by the limestone wall before I did, and the maximum time a person could hold his breath was a minute or two, after which his heart would stop beating due to suffocation. So, he was waiting for me in front...... Thinking of this time, my heart felt like a hole had opened, empty, but I didn't feel pain.
