Hearing Dong Dabao's words, my face turned white, I looked at the cigarette butt in his hand in disbelief, stepped back several steps in a row, and asked in a trembling voice: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Dong Dabao frowned and said: "Look carefully, we have walked through this place before, this cigarette butt was thrown by me, and even the sparks are still there, and they haven't been extinguished at all." ”

I hurriedly looked at the cigarette butt in his hand, and then at the surroundings of the stone steps, and suddenly realized something, and then I felt a chill run down my spine.

Dong Dabao didn't say that it was okay, as soon as I said it, I suddenly found that this place is really familiar, although we ran in a hurry before, and the environment on both sides was swept by, but there is still a memory in our minds, we really walked through this place.

But why is this happening?

I thought it was just a normal stone staircase, but it seems that I still need to explain it.

This stone staircase has been going down, a black and swarthy piece, both sides are retaining walls, very thick, should be the material of the stone door, we can't push it at all, there is only a width of two meters on the left and right, and the height is only more than one person high, there is no fork in the middle, the only way out is to run forward, to the exit.

And after we entered the stone steps, we didn't walk backwards at all, we kept running along the front, and we didn't see any forks in the road, but why did we go back to the original point for no reason?

Could it be that in the process of running, Dong Dabao and I turned around unconsciously?

But there's no reason why we don't even know how to run back, unless there's only one explanation, damn it, this stone staircase can't be finished at all, it's a circular stone staircase, which means that no matter how we run, we'll only return to this place.

But this is also too strange, how can there be such a circular stone step in the world?

It occurred to me that the headless guards stopped chasing us as soon as we reached the stone steps, and now it seems that they are also afraid of the stone steps, or they know that we are in a dead loop, so they don't want to chase us anymore.

And we ran for so long, it took at least twenty minutes, the stone steps can't be so long, there is only one factor that we have been running in a loop, but we ourselves have been kept in the dark, if it weren't for Dong Dabao seeing the cigarette butts he threw away, we might have been running all the time, and we have been going around on the circular stone steps without an exit, and finally died of exhaustion on it.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder in my heart, fortunately, Dong Dabao found out in advance, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

I told Dong Dabao what I thought, Dong Dabao's face suddenly darkened, and he blurted out: "Damn, Lao Tzu knows that things are not simple, if the stone steps are really circular, then let's wait for death!" ”

I said with a solemn face: "Don't be so discouraged for the time being, I dare to guarantee that someone has walked on this stone step, otherwise how could there be a strong flashlight falling on the ground, but we didn't meet anyone else on the stone steps, it is enough to show that someone has successfully walked out, we have just found out, so we haven't figured out the reason yet, as long as we find the reason, we will definitely be able to get out!" ”

Dong Dabao spread his hands: "Then how do you say we get out?" What's the matter, run back? ”

I shook my head and said, "Since we have the circulating stone steps, we may not be able to run out if we run back, and even if we can run out, aren't there many headless guards waiting for us on it, so running back will not work!" ”

Dong Dabao suddenly hit a spirit: "Could it be that we have encountered a ghost?" ”

In fact, I thought of this at the beginning, walking out of the loop may be because there are ghosts hitting the wall or ghosts covering their eyes, if it is an ordinary person, they may be bluffed, but Dong Dabao and I have now stepped into the door, and we are not afraid of ordinary ghosts and ghosts at all, not to mention that the soul cup and the yin-yang ruler can detect yin qi, as long as there are powerful ghosts around, we can detect it!

However, there was no response from the Soul Collecting Cup and the Yin-Yang Ruler, indicating that there were no ghosts nearby, and there were no means such as ghosts hitting walls and ghosts covering their eyes.

I said what I wanted to say, and then said, "Could it be some kind of trickery?" We ancients liked these mechanisms, but we can't have them in them, right? ”

Dong Dabao glared at the beads in his eyes: "If you find out, I will believe you, the people of Hidden Sword Villa have nothing to do, they built the ancient ship to leave, and they didn't want the ancient ship to trap anyone, why do they want to build a mechanism on it for no reason?" ”

I frowned, and said in my heart that this is the same truth, so what the hell is going on with this circular stone staircase?

I looked at Dong Dabao and hesitated: "Why don't we walk again, just take our current place as a starting point, walk slower this time, observe both sides and the stone steps, and see if we will walk back to the original point." ”

Dong Dabao nodded, immediately we took out a cigarette and lit it, put it on the stone steps, and then began to walk slowly towards the stone steps below, walking very slowly, for fear of missing any details, about three minutes or so, I suddenly saw a spark in front of me from a distance, and hurriedly stepped forward and turned pale again, sure enough, it was the cigarette butt we lit before leaving.

"Grass!"

Dong Dabao scolded: "Nanzi, we are finished, we will definitely not be able to get out, when I left just now, I paid special attention to both sides and the stone steps, and found that there was no organ or the sound of the mechanism when it was activated, and there was no fork in the way, we just walked straight back to the original point, and we couldn't get out!" ”

My face was horribly gloomy, for it was a predicament we had not thought of at all, and I would now rather face the headless guards than deal with the stone steps.

We don't have anything to eat at all, and once we are trapped on it, after three days, the ancient ship will disappear again, and the devil knows where we will be taken then, and we will survive for a few days at most without food.

"Go again!"

I shouted with a blushing face, and forcibly pulled Dong Dabao to continue walking down, this time we walked slower and more carefully, our eyes kept glued to the stone steps, for fear of missing something, but to our despair, a few minutes later, we actually returned to the far point again.

I felt anxious, and my heart was extremely irritable, what the hell is going on with this Nima?

We picked up a strong flashlight, which is enough to prove that there is a Taoist figure walking here, and we didn't see this person, which means that he has walked out, but why can't we go out?

Dong Dabao angrily knocked on the stone walls on both sides with a yin and yang ruler, but these stone walls were as thick and strong as stone gates, and we couldn't break them at all, so we could only calm down and then decided that I would go again, and Dong Dabao would wait in place to see if there would be a problem if one person walked.

Dong Dabao nodded, and stood in place with his waist crossed, I went down the stone steps alone, and the soul cup was tightly clasped in the palm of my hand, but there was nothing in the stone steps that could threaten people's ghosts, only boring stone steps, every time I stepped on the stone steps, I would observe the movements on both sides, so I walked slower than the previous two times, but there was no gain halfway.

About ten minutes later, a sturdy figure suddenly appeared in front of me, standing on the stone steps and looking ahead, seeing this person, my heart was half cold again, and I slouched forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Dabao, we may really not be able to get out!" ”

Dong Dabao was taken aback, and only after seeing that it was me did he breathe a sigh of relief, and complained to me: "Nanzi, I thought about it just now, since we will come back if we go down, it is better to change another method." ”

I wondered, "What else can I do?" ”

Dong Dabao said: "This time I will go down, you go up, let's try to see if this stone step is circulating." ”

As soon as I heard it, I was interested and asked, "How do you try?" ”

Dong Dabao re-lit a cigarette, licked his lips and said: "I'll go down, run, the speed is very fast, you go up, move slowly, if the stone steps are really circular, we will meet at a point in the middle of the stone steps, once we meet the stone steps, it must be circular, once we don't meet, the stone steps are not circular, we must be on the road!" ”

I'm happy, not to mention, this method is really good, as long as we can meet it halfway, it can mean that the stone steps are circular, then let's give up hope completely, unless we find a mechanism that can break the loop.

But if it doesn't, then something else is playing tricks on us, and as long as we find out why, we can get out of this loop!

Thinking of this, we were excited again and immediately took action, but what I didn't expect was that something even stranger happened suddenly at this time!
