Among the ghost stories circulating in Chinese folklore, the most typical may be "ghosts hitting the wall".

Although I have not personally encountered the "ghost hitting the wall", I have investigated a "ghost hitting the wall" incident.

In the end, it was found that the "ghost hitting the wall" had nothing to do with the "supernatural", but was caused by the terrain, drunkenness, or other factors that caused human beings to perceive abnormalities.

In fact, from ancient times to the present, most of the "ghost hitting the wall" events have nothing to do with the "supernatural", and the reason why they occur is caused by the physiological structure of human beings themselves.

Because the physiological structure of human beings, as well as other animals, is symmetrical on the surface between the left half and the right half, but in reality there is a subtle difference between the left and right sides.

For example, the two wings of a bird are not completely balanced on the left and right sides.

Someone once experimented with blindfolding a wild duck and throwing it into the open sky. As long as the mallard is able to keep flying, it will be found that it will eventually fly out in a large circle.

Similarly, there is a difference in the length and strength of the two legs, with most people having a stronger right leg than their left leg and a larger stride than their left leg. A small number of people do the opposite.

If it is a dark night, walking in an open field, and there is no more prominent reference around the body to help humans correct their direction, then humans will circle in place in a big circle.

Until it is clear that there is a reference that can be used as a direction to determine the sky.

The "ghost hitting the wall" incident that I investigated before happened at night or in foggy weather.

It took place in a mountain col, surrounded by undulating mountains, and no matter which direction you look at, it seems that the scenery is almost the same.

And most of the people who experienced the "ghost hitting the wall" were a little drunk. The other two did not drink alcohol, but they were weak and had a very poor sense of direction.

However, Naporta and Pivaso are not only physically strong, but also love to explore, and their sense of direction should be fine.

What's more, the two of them are walking along a road, and unless they turn back halfway, it is impossible to return to the same place in the end.

"How is this possible? You must have deliberately turned around and scared us into coming! Kishida spoke first, but not like he was retorting Nabota and Pivaso, but like talking to himself.

"I didn't!" Napota immediately called out, "I swear we really haven't looked back, we've been moving forward!" Isn't it Pivaso? ”

She looked back at Pivaso, who nodded palely and looked like he was about to cry.

In fact, everyone in the room felt like they were going to cry – including me.

Because in my heart, I couldn't help but think a terrible thought: Are we already trapped in this small town and can no longer get out?

In the eyes of people on the outside, are several of us missing?

I subconsciously looked up at the sky, and it was still the same as when I got up in the morning, gloomy and gray, giving people the feeling that it was going to rain soon.

"Look at the weather, do you feel weird?" I say.

Everyone looked up at the sky.

"Yes, it's weird!" Mrs. Bonn was the first to speak, "since yesterday when we came, the sky was gray and gloomy, as if it were going to rain. But from yesterday to today, it is still like this, and the rain has not fallen! ”

"What do you mean...... It doesn't mean that there is something ...... in this gloomy weather? Something terrible, we're already trapped here, we're never going to get out, right? Nabota stammered.

The pride and ambition of the previous expedition had long since disappeared, and at this moment, in her eyes, there was no excitement, only horror.

I suddenly thought of a question and immediately asked, "Did you two check the compass or direction gravitational halfway through?" ”

The reason I thought about this question was because Napota and Pivaso were walking down the same road, and it was impossible to go back until they turned back halfway.

So I deduced that they must have been affected by some strange force, and before they knew it, they didn't realize it at all.

In my experience, most of the "supernatural" strange powers have no effect on electronic devices - there will be exceptions, of course, which is why I say "mostly".

- For example, ghosts and the like exist in the form of "brain waves", so although they can exert influence on electronic devices, they can also interfere with them, so in general, ghosts and the like will stay away from electronic devices.

Sure enough, Nabota was slightly stunned and looked towards Pivaso.

Pivaso was stunned and said, "Although we have a compass, we will go along this road, and there will be no forks in the road, so naturally we will not think of using a compass!" ”

His statement matched my assumptions, so I immediately removed the backpack from my back and took the direction finder out of the backpack to look at it.

I found that the direction finder was clearly pointing and was not malfunctioning.

I breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "No matter what we're facing...... What kind of power is it, but this power does not interfere with electronic instruments, so I believe that as long as we use the direction finder we carry, we can go out safely! ”

When Professor Bonn and others heard me say this, they all took out their orientation devices or compasses in their backpacks to look at them.

"My compass is wrong, it doesn't point to north and south!" Li Junhyuk said first, looking up at me in a daze.

"I'm having a problem with my GPS tracker too!" Professor Bonn said, turning the small round box he was holding, "the hands flickered and kept changing direction!" ”

I was amazed and checked my DFA again.

Not only does the directional finder have enough power, but the bright red electronic pointer is indeed pointing due north and south.

"Our compass is also in trouble, and there is a reversal of the north and south!" Nabota said, gathering with Pivaso to take a look.

Gao Lingkai himself also brought a compass that was not high-tech, but it was quite sensitive, but he never took it out to check because he trusted me.

It wasn't until everyone else said there was a problem with the locator compass that he pulled out his compass and looked at it.

Soon he looked at me stunned and said, "I have a problem with my compass too!" ”

I wondered why my direction finder was fine.

Is it because my direction finder is more tech-intensive?

Or is it the strange power hidden in this town, aware that the few self-defense items I am carrying, such as the electric shock baton, happen to be its nemesis, so it does not dare to come near my side?
