185. Illusionary confusion
Just when he was on the verge of life and death and felt hopeless, suddenly there was a force behind him that firmly grabbed his arm, and he turned back with difficulty, and found that it was the person who had not been missing for a long time. It was my father, who was smoking his pipe in his mouth, and with a grim look on his face trying to pull him out of the hole.
The person next to him who was wandering on the round platform to break the formation was in a hurry to stop him, saying that he couldn't take out the owner, it was an air eye, and he couldn't control it if he didn't block the formation. But the father ignored it, and saw that the hole was open enough to accommodate the owner, he let out a deep sigh, and the pipe fell into the hole, but in an instant, the owner was dragged out of the hole, and rolled down the steps from the round platform on the spot, until he rolled to the bottom, and was hit with a blue nose and swollen face, but at least, saved a life.
The two of them also rolled down with them, and they also escaped from the round platform at the critical moment, but they spat blood from their mouths when they rolled to the bottom, obviously with great vitality.
The two were extremely indignant, staggered up and pointed at their father and scolded: Chang Qing, you remember for me, this matter is not over.
Then the two limped away, and after seeing their cruelty and ability, the owner did not dare to let people stop them, so he could only let them leave angrily. But because of this, he was grateful to his father, but his father watched the two leave with a grim face, and finally sighed and said: It's all fate.
He got up from the ground and was about to leave, but was stopped by the owner to thank him for saving his life. Dad shook his head and only said to him: Obsession must not be imposed on others, otherwise there will be retribution. Also, if you come to me one day, you tell her all the way south.
When the owner said this, his eyes stared at me clearly, "You are the person he said would come to him one day." ”
I didn't know what to say, and I couldn't answer. Listening to my father's words, it seems that he knew that I would come, and has been waiting for me to come, but after so many years, I have waited until today to be here, and if I hadn't found that pipe, I would not have known that he had come. He closed his eyes and forced the sourness in his eyes back to the bottom of his heart.
When he opened his eyes, his heart was calm, and he said lightly: "Let's go, let's find a way to go out first." ”
The owner's eyes flashed and he didn't say anything more, I opened the way and stepped into the upper level of the upper and lower phantom layers, slowing down as much as possible, and I would be apprehensive when I stood there and waited. I stared closely at the strap tied to my wrist to see if the force was being tightened, and finally soon the owner stepped over from that side, and I was secretly relieved, it seems that this method has worked.
After that, both of them moved forward in silence, and neither of them spoke. I don't know why the owner behind me is silent, but I don't open my mouth because I have to concentrate all my mind on this labyrinth phantom layer, and I can't tolerate the slightest distraction.
All things have to be found and pursued only if we can get out of this place.
With the comparison of maps, the biggest advantage is not to be able to solve the maze chaos, but to be able to see the next fork in advance and make a choice. And I've noticed that there are some places where the black dots seem to have fallen unintentionally, but when these dots are arranged irregularly, I know that they must not be unintentionally left, and it is very likely that the mechanism is located.
So I was able to bypass the illusionary layer with traps in advance and take a safe passage. So far, at least, there has been no danger, but the time has been grinding for a long time.
I saw that the owner was out of breath and obviously exhausted, and proposed to rest, but he waved his hand and refused to say that he could still hold on.
I took out the parchment roll and looked at it, and the exit was in the lower left corner, and at this time our position had gone from the top right to the left half, not too far from the goal. However, the road behind is complicated, and there are more and more black dots that may be marked as mechanisms, so if you want to get around, you really have to use your brain.
Since he didn't want to rest, I didn't insist anymore and continued to explore. In fact, what worries me more than finding the exit is that I have almost detoured half of the cave, and I have not found any other people so far. Don't be afraid of anything else, just afraid that they have strayed into the phantom layer where the mechanism is ambushed, then it is really life and death.
But who can be sure of this? Now I'm looking at a map, and they can't even see it.
was worried about himself, and suddenly felt a strong wind hitting the front door, and instinctively retreated and avoided it. I felt a black shadow approaching from the crack in the phantom layer, and a fierce punch came towards the door in front of me. I was short, and I wanted to turn around to dodge, but my wrists were still tied to the owner, and I was punched the back of the shoulder, and half of my shoulder was numb in an instant.
In a flash, I shone a flashlight with a flashlight, and I couldn't help but be stunned, I didn't expect that the person with a fierce face turned out to be Ade.
He was covered in blood, and his eyes were red as if he had lost his mind. The punch was sharp and brutal, and I saw another punch to my temple, and I was blocked by the owner behind me. I could only pinch the balls of my handstrings, and the filaments shot out, and just as I was slicing the other person's wrist and dripping with blood, the sudden Ade was hit against the wall by a force of impact.
I looked at it and felt familiar with the light blue that had rolled to the ground with Ade, and when I took a step closer, I realized that it was actually He Zhixu. He pressed his entire body weight on Ade's body, his forehead hair on his eyes, and his clothes were messy, looking very embarrassed. I stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
He Zhixu seemed to be stunned, slowly raised his head, and after seeing it clearly as he saw that it was me, he asked with a somewhat disbelieving expression: "Alice?" I nodded, and my eyes couldn't help but fall in front of him, the puddle of blood was so shocking that I couldn't ignore it, and I couldn't help asking, "Are you injured?" ”
He looked down at himself in a daze, then shook his head and said, "It's not my blood, it's his." ”
Seeing him pointing to Ade on the ground, it was only then that he found that Ade had become quieter, and instead of attacking people ferociously, his eyes were staring at the top with dull eyes, and his eyes did not move.
The situation was so surprising that I hesitated and asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”
He Zhixu flipped down from Ade and sat on the ground, gasping for breath and said: "This place is very evil, we have been separated one after another, at first I tried to find you, but then I found out that it was in vain and I stayed where I was. After waiting for I don't know how long, he suddenly rushed in and didn't seem to be right, and when he saw me, he kept asking where Miss Cen was. Later, he took out a gun and pointed it at me and asked me to lead the way to Miss Shun, and then ...... behind" He paused and looked at Ade on the ground.
I didn't ask, but the owner asked, "What happened later?" ”
He Zhixu raised his head and looked at the owner, and said again: "We ran into a mechanism, and there will be a rain of arrows shooting out of the cracks in the wall, which can be said to be hanging by a thread." In particular, as soon as we touch the mechanism, it seems that there will be something in the air that can cause people to hallucinate, which makes us more and more confused. I vaguely saw him just now as if he was about to punch someone, and I instinctively knocked him away. His eyes were fixed on my face, and his eyes were worried: "Alice, are you alright?" ”
This is what I should ask, it is a miracle that they are still alive by Ade, who are holding them hostage and breaking into this space indiscriminately, repeatedly touching the mechanism. It was evident that the sleeves of his shirt were scratched in several places, and were bloodied, except for the pool of blood on his chest that he said was Ade. As for Ade, it was a serious injury, he was almost a bloody man, and he couldn't see any wounds, but even so, he was still sharp when he punched just now.
I glanced at his right wrist, and the thin line that shot out at the moment of crisis cut his wrist directly to the bone, but I didn't see him in any pain. Is he really crazy?
But I heard He Zhixu whisper beside him: "It will be fine after a while, it seems that the airflow in this cave is normal in the place where there is no mechanism, and our sanity can recover some." He was so badly injured that his own blood was on the rise. ”
As he said, after a while, Ade's eyes began to move, and after a circle, he didn't make a sound, and his eyes fell on He Zhixu. I heard He Zhixu ask, "Can you still get up?" Ade paused and then got up from the ground on his own, although he was not as crazy as he had just now and kept his eyes down, but the anger was still there, and I did not let my guard down, and my fingers kept pinching the beads.
When He Zhixu staggered to his feet, I noticed that there was a broken arrow stuck in his left leg, and I hurriedly went to support him who fell backwards. Condensed the arrow that was deep in the flesh, "Why don't you pull it out?" ”
He smiled gently, "This arrow has barbs, and I won't be able to walk if I pull it out." ”
Hearing this, my heart tightened, but I couldn't do anything, not to mention medical equipment, not even the most ordinary medicine. Now only when you go out can you be rescued and healed, gritted your teeth and said: "The four of us have found a way to tie together with ropes, this space will have a dividing point into two different phantom layers every other way, once you choose the wrong one, you will go fork, and you can't turn back, you all follow me closely." ”
He Zhixu was stunned and asked in surprise: "How do you know?" ”
I didn't have time to explain too much to him, so I urged him to say, "Don't ask too much, just listen to me." You find something to tie yourself and then tie my right hand, and we can't be far apart. ”
After He Zhixu found a handkerchief and tore it into strips and turned it into a rope to tie each other, my left and right hands were loaded. There is no need to turn the map out anymore, the general markings have been memorized, and after walking for so long, I have actually learned the rule: go up and down the phantom layer, go diagonally down every left, and go diagonally up every right, so that you can effectively avoid the cave with the trap.
