Chapter 23: Shortened Passages

As soon as I heard the old prostitute say that they were wrong, I hurriedly asked the old prostitute: "Isn't that the voice of a human being?" Have you really encountered a ghost? ”

"Damn, how are you like that guy, how can you meet ghosts so easily, I want to meet a female ghost and have fun, the problem is that I haven't encountered it after thinking about it for so many years." The old prostitute continued: "Can you stop interrupting, listen to me." ”

The old prostitute continued, they wanted to follow the original passage all the way forward, after all, the little wolf was missing in front.

But they had barely reached 100 meters when the signal on the walkie-talkie was gone. They immediately retreated a few dozen meters back, and the signal began to slowly recover.

After repeated tests by them, they found that only here in the stone gate they opened, the signal was the strongest.

This made the old prostitute feel very strange, and hurriedly turned back to the guy who knew a little about walkie-talkies and asked, "What's going on?" Tianxiang They are obviously missing in front, why is the signal the strongest in our place? If they had disappeared in this location, we wouldn't have known? Then the old prostitute pointed to the walkie-talkie and said, "Wouldn't this play be useless?" ”

The guy took out his walkie-talkie, tried it and said, "That's right, it's indeed the strongest here." ”

"Could it be the place where they are trapped, and it is connected with us finding this passage." The other guy said, pointing to the stone door they had blasted.

The old prostitute looked at the stone gate behind her, and felt that what he said made some sense, and she was still a little hesitant, but there was a rapid snapping sound on the walkie-talkie.

Hearing the hurried voice on the walkie-talkie, the old prostitute immediately realized that it was not good, maybe the trapped people were in some danger, or they couldn't hold on, which was urging them to hurry up and go to the rescue.

The old prostitute hurriedly shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Are you in danger?" If yes, knock it three times. ”

The sound coming out of the walkie-talkie is still continuous.

As soon as the old prostitute heard that the voice was still very urgent, she knew that there must be danger over there, and immediately ran towards the passage inside the stone gate.

"Don't run so fast, be careful not to get hit." There was a guy shouting from behind.

The old prostitute can't take care of so much when she runs in front, looking for it while running, and urging the people behind to hurry up from time to time.

After running for 3 minutes, a guy ran over and said to the old prostitute: "Slow down, don't just think about running, look at the signal on the walkie-talkie." ”

Only then did the old prostitute react, looked down at the walkie-talkie, and shouted, "Make some more noise." ”

There were a few crackles on the walkie-talkie, but this time the sound became quieter and not as strong as just now.

"Damn, we may have run over, and the voices have become quieter." The guy next to him said.

The old prostitute began to turn around and run backwards again, but this time they ran a little slower, and then let the intercom sound as they ran.

What the old prostitute didn't expect was that they had just run 50 meters back, and they found that the voice on the walkie-talkie was weak again, and then he and the guy started to run forward again, but they didn't run a few steps far, and the voice became weaker and weaker, and after a few clicks, there was no sound.

The old prostitute was silent when she heard it. At that time, I was in a hurry, and I yelled at the walkie-talkie, constantly adjusting the walkie-talkie, hoping to hear the crackling sound.

But no matter how he debugged or screamed, there was still no sound on the walkie-talkie.

The old prostitute stayed where she was for five or six minutes, but there was no response, only the rustling of static electricity.

"Don't do it, I'm afraid they can't do it anymore." The guy looked at the old prostitute and said.

"Fuck off, you fucking can't do it." After the old prostitute finished scolding the guy, he continued to debug the walkie-talkie.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes had passed that the old prostitute gave up, punched and kicked the stone wall of the passage, and let out a heart-rending roar.

The guy saw that the old prostitute was fighting against the stone wall, and his hands were already broken, and he was still fighting. immediately hugged him from behind, and then enlightened the old prostitute.

Although the old prostitute didn't tell me the specific details of this paragraph, I could see his grief and indignation in his eyes at that time, so that when he just told me, the corners of his eyes were full of tears. I can understand the mood of the old prostitute at that time, I don't know how he carried it, but if it was me, I'm afraid I would have collapsed at that time.

I knew that the little wolf and Tianxiang must not be dead, otherwise the old prostitute would not have said that I should save them, so I poured him a bowl of water and told him to hurry up and say that he would jump out of this sad moment.

The old prostitute said that he and the guy sat in the passage for more than half an hour, firstly to stabilize their feelings, and secondly, to expect a miracle to happen, hoping that there would be a crackling sound on the intercom.

During this period, he had a brief chat with the guy, and the guy told the old prostitute, his name: Xiao Yu, who has been with Tianxiang for five years, is also a high-paid figure in Tianxiang's company, relatively speaking, he doesn't want Tianxiang to have an accident. And he and Tianxiang also have a good relationship, although they are in an employment relationship, but when they are not in the company, they are brothers in private.

It may be that Xiao Yu's comfort is effective, prompting the old prostitute to cheer up quickly.

The old prostitute looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "What about the other person?" Where's that guy? ”

Xiao Yu immediately turned around, looked at it, and hurriedly replied, "No, why haven't you followed me for so long." After speaking, Xiao Yu shouted a few more times into the passage behind.

The old prostitute immediately had a very bad premonition, and immediately ran back with Xiaoyu. They wanted to run back to the stone gate where they had come, but after less than five minutes, there was a change in front of them, and they quickly ran into a dead end.

It turned out to be a dead end, and in front of them was a stone wall.

The two looked at each other, both of them were dazed, feeling inexplicable, and no one thought that this would be the case.

The old prostitute carefully inspected the stone wall in front of her, and found no mechanism, not like it was formed later. Xiao Yu cut a blast hole in the stone wall, and then installed the explosive yao, and blew a big hole in the stone wall.

After the two of them cleaned up the gravel in the pit, they were completely dumbfounded, there were still stones in the pit. The depth of this pit is one and a half meters, and when the old prostitute looks at it, she knows that this can't be a mechanism, and no mechanism will have this thickness.

After a brief discussion, the two decided to go back, shouting as Xiao Yu walked, and kept adjusting the walkie-talkie, hoping that his companions could hear it. After walking for less than ten minutes, something even more unexpected happened to the two of them, and a stone wall appeared in front of them.

This time it wasn't as simple as a dead end, the two of them were completely blocked in a passageway.

They turned back a few more times, and the two of them found that they could not go any further, and had to stop, for each time they turned back, the passage was closer.

The old prostitute specially asked me to focus on listening here, in case we encounter the same thing when we go down to the rescue.

After they saw the stone wall here, they did the same thing as that side, punched holes and did fixed-point blasting, and found that this place was the same, it was a real stone wall, so they had the first turnback.

The old prostitute said that he couldn't estimate the specific distance, so he could only give me an analogy. On the first turnaround, the length of the passage was about 500 meters, but by the second turnaround, they found that the full length of the passage had become 300 meters. As the passage became shorter, they found that the stone wall on one side had also changed, and it had become a stone wall that had not been blasted.

Immediately after the third turnaround, the distance of the passage became shorter, only 150 meters, and they found that the stone walls at both ends were intact and had not been blasted.

After the third turnback, they didn't dare to move anymore, but only blew up the stone walls that appeared a few times. This time they blew up deep enough to blow up a 5-meter-deep crater, but there were still stones inside, and they didn't see the original long-distance passage.

After the explosion this time, the two of them were puzzled, and Xiao Yu asked the old prostitute, "Could this be a combination mechanism?" ”

The combination mechanism is the stone pushing mechanism. The principle of this mechanism is not very advanced, and it is a certain force that causes one or both stone walls to close in one direction, with the aim of squeezing the intruder to death between the two stone walls. This kind of mechanism is usually used more in the ancient tombs of the Western Han Dynasty, and after the Ming Dynasty, there are almost no ancient tombs designed with this kind of imbecile mechanism.

The old prostitute thought about it and shook her head, thinking that it was unlikely, because the combination mechanism usually directly takes people's lives for the purpose, and there is no such way to slowly close the passage, which is not in line with the common sense of the combination mechanism. The kind of mechanism they are experiencing now looks more like the purpose of trapping people, and if it is a combination of mechanisms, then it should directly kill them.

Moreover, the combination mechanism has two fatal weaknesses, one is that the sound is particularly loud, and it requires a chain or a huge thrust of other objects to activate. But the situation they are encountering now is happening quietly, and there is no sound. The second weakness is that after the merger, there will be obvious gaps between the two stone walls, although they are not very large, but they can still be seen intuitively. However, the stone wall that appeared in front of them did not have the slightest gap, and it was one with the whole mountain. And they didn't find any other gaps in the pit so deep, which means that it is definitely not a combination mechanism.

This time the two of them did not leave, but sat by the stone wall, looking at the stone wall, hoping to discover the mystery in it.

But this sitting is more than an hour, the stone wall in front of them has not changed at all, and the two of them are a little panicked, after all, they can't sit here for a lifetime, they have to find a way to get out.

The two of them researched and discussed, and thought of a lot of theories that could be explained, but they couldn't find a flaw, and they couldn't think of a good solution. In the end, he chose to use the usual method of the old prostitute to blast to find a way.

The two of them began to blast in one direction, and after a few meters of blasting, they heard sounds elsewhere.

At first, the two of them didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was the echo caused by their own explosion of the stone wall, so they didn't stop and continued to blow forward.

But after a few more blows, they realized that the sound was wrong.

The old prostitute put her ear close to the stone wall, listened carefully, and immediately dragged Xiao Yu who was standing on the side to run, shouting as she ran: "Run...... run"
