Chapter 37: A Foolproof Plan
What was surprising was that Mo Ranchen shook his head and said, "I don't know, every time I meet you, I also encounter different things. However, when I came to my senses, I was all by myself, lying in different positions. Then I'll look for the light source again, find the way again. But every time I come back, the illusion comes again. ”
I looked at the things around me and said incredulously, "You mean, as long as you don't come back here, the illusion won't happen?" ”
He nodded, and continued, "However, I must come back here, because all the people we came with were missing here, including Lin Su and Rossen, as well as the stones. Only by coming back here can you find them. ”
I realized that the stone he was talking about should be the villager he met later.
Kong Xian frowned, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he asked Mo Ranchen: "Have you found any way to distinguish between reality and illusion?" ”
Mo Yanchen shook his head.
At this time, I suddenly thought of a way that I thought was good, so I said to Kong Xian: "We might as well tie the rope to everyone's hands, if there is a person who behaves abnormally and wants to break free from the rope and separate from us, then he must have fallen into the illusion, and we will quickly wake him up." As long as one person is awake, at least one person can help the others a little. ”
Mo Ranchen disagreed, he said: "It's useless, everyone will think that they are normal." ”
Kong Xian also nodded and said, "That's it, let's leave here first and return to the reversed area, make sure that we are in a normal state, and then come back when the two things are analyzed clearly." One is why this place makes people hallucinate; The second is whether we need to come here or not. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and we returned to the reversal that Liu Yang and Lin Su had taken before.
I thought the road would be soaked in black muddy water, but I didn't expect it to be very dry and clean, with only some small gravel on the road, and cliffs about four or five meters on both sides.
We found a clean place to sit down and officially began to discuss how to "pass".
Kong Xian asked me to start with the place where he and we met, to see when my illusions began to appear, and I needed to be precise about my every thought and everything I saw.
Although I don't really want to talk about that period of frustration, considering that this matter is related to everyone's lives, I will honestly tell it without missing anything. But...... I concealed my conjecture as to whether Kong Xian was alive or not.
Unexpectedly, Kong Xian didn't laugh at me, nor did he blame me for being cautious, but Liu Yang educated me for a long time, saying that I was hypocritical.
After Kong Xian's analysis, my illusion should have started from the moment he jumped down, because he and Mo Ranchen did not leave, although they caught me...... It was a lie, but they just stepped back a little bit to give me plenty of space. As soon as I landed, they gathered around me to check on me.
However, no matter how much I screamed, I couldn't wake me up anymore.
"Did you feel any difference in the process of moving from reality to illusion?" Kong Xian asked.
Mo Zhanchen entered the illusion three times by himself, and he couldn't tell which moment he entered the illusion from reality. So, I'm all the breakthroughs now, and if I can find the slightest nuance, it's all easy.
I closed my eyes and thought about it for a long time, because it was only a momentary thing, and it was difficult for me to capture anything. Coupled with the dimly lit environment, it doesn't feel real.
"Shhh......hh I thought at the time that there were corpses down here, and it was normal for it to smell a little bloody. But when I woke up, I found that the bodies were basically dry bones, and even worse down was a rancid smell and a musty smell. As for the smell of blood, it's not that strong. ”
After I finished speaking, Mo Ranchen also recalled for a moment, nodded and said, "That's true." The smell of blood in the illusion will be much stronger. ”
After hearing this, Kong Xian frowned, looked worried, and said: "This illusion is very likely to be a phenomenon of poisoning, the decomposition process of corpses is already very toxic, plus some corpses have some diseases before they are alive. In the United States, cleaners who handle corpses and death scenes can earn as much as 500,000 yuan a year, because of this extremely high risk. There are too many corpses here, after an unknown number of years of decay, there are no insects, and even the corpses of corpse-eating babies and fire pine nuts are unwilling to eat them, so it must be very harmful. ”
"If it's just the smell, we can make a gas mask by wetting our clothes." I say.
Liu Yang agreed, but he was still not very relieved, patted me on the shoulder and said: "Why don't we little brothers go for a trip first, anyway, you have been poisoned, you have to die no matter what, you don't care about sending a few more brothers out, and it can show that your personality is greater, don't you say?" ”
I didn't get angry when I heard this, I glanced at him, my teeth clucked, and scolded: "You're so angry, if I die, can I be willing to let you go?" ”
"What Dayang said is not unreasonable." Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, Kong Xian also agreed with Liu Yang's statement, "We really can't go over all of them so hastily, we tie a rope to Mu You, if she can pass, let's go again, if there is any accident, we can rescue here." ”
My face was as black as Zhang Fei, and my heart said, you are really my own hair, this kind of life is thrown to me, I'm afraid I don't have a feud with you, right?
What I didn't expect was that everyone nodded their heads to indicate that this method was feasible. Looking at their smiling faces, there was only a party left to celebrate.
I didn't say anything, Lin Su was afraid that I would be emotional, so he put his arm around my shoulder and said with a smile: "Mumu, don't be unhappy, when you go out, we will invite you to dinner." ”
"And what if I can't get out?" I asked.
Lin Su said: "Don't be so negative, if you really can't get out, we will also help you transport the body out." ”
"Hehe......" I faked a dry laugh twice.
Now that they have passed it unanimously, I can only follow, anyway, they have come to this point, and whether they can get out or not is also a matter of one move.
Kong Xian took out the map and asked Mo Ranchen: "Do you think this map is reliable?" ”
Mo Ranchen nodded and said, "At present, it seems that there is no problem. ”
As he spoke, Kong Xian spread the map on the ground and shone it on it with the Night Pearl to ensure that the slightest path could be seen clearly. He pointed to the blue marker that had deduced the location of Mo Ranchen and Lin Su before, and said, "We are in this location now, and the place next to it that says the well may be the exit we are looking for, judging from the distance, it should be in the middle of this corpse field." However, we don't know who exactly left this map, and we don't know what will happen, so we have to prepare for the worst. ”
"But ......," Lin Su hesitated, "why a well?" We're already in a very low position, can we really find an exit if we go down? ”
After she asked, Kong Xian turned the map around and said, "This well may not be downward, you can see the way this well is written, its direction is exactly the opposite of the other positions, it is very likely to be an inverted well." So, it's worth taking a gamble. ”
After speaking, Kong Xian turned his head and smiled gently, and he asked me, "Mu You, are you willing to be a guinea pig?" But...... If you don't want to go, I can go, don't force it. ”
"Huh." I sneered. If I hadn't been cheated by him too many times, I would have been so stupid to believe that he was an empathetic person. But at this point, I had no choice but to sigh, and scolded helplessly: "You, don't pretend to be a good person here, my life is very hard, if you really die one day, it's nothing more than you making up a knife in the back, don't expect me to let you go." ”
Kong Xian laughed, reached out and touched my head and said, "I really don't want you to let me go." ”
"Alright, alright." Liu Yang felt that we were too hypocritical, and urged impatiently: "Can we say something about life." It's not a big deal, it's a big deal, and you are stunned to feel a sense of life and death. Besides, what kind of person is our little brother, just kidding, I can level this corpse in minutes, what is hypocritical, hurry up. Where can I find the rope? ”
Mo Ranchen said: "There should be no rope in this piece, we can cut off the corpse's clothes and tie them into strips of cloth." ”
"That's good." Kong Xian got up and said, "Let's go and prepare the cloth strips first, and then go to the black quagmire to get water." During this period, everything was handed over to us, and Mu You stored his strength. ”
According to Kong Xian's plan, we walked a little further and came to the clearing in front of the corpse field, so that the light of the Night Pearl could illuminate a corpse. In order to ensure safety, we couldn't all get close to there, so we decided to let Mo Ranchen collect the fabric, and then bring it back to Liu Yang and Lin Su to splic. Kong Xian is responsible for observing all the abnormal movements around him to avoid unexpected situations. I just sat on the sidelines to accumulate my strength, and by the way, I lamented my miserable life.
The corpses were very old, and most of the clothes on them were rudimentary linen, some of which had rotted to the point of being unusable. What Mo Ranchen can collect is some special fabrics, which are not noble and gorgeous, but have strong corrosion resistance, it is rougher than hemp, and there is no breathability at all, like the feeling that the clothes of hemp are stained with some kind of gelatinous substance.
"You say." I asked, "This is not an ancient tomb, and it should not be a battlefield where corpses are piled up, how can there be so many corpses?" The bone pit we saw when we jumped down before, we all suspected that the fire pine nuts had killed the humans and dragged them into the pit. But there are no pine nuts here, and even baby corpses dare not approach, what is the reason for the accumulation of a large number of corpses here? ”
Kong Xian said: "You should have heard a legend. There was an ancient city in this mountain, and there was a large number of plague disasters, and at that time, in order to eliminate the plague and prevent future disasters, there was a large-scale massacre in the government. ”
