Chapter 176: Another Cycle

The few people behind him had never been to the ancient tomb, and they didn't understand what space Professor Chen was talking about. The expression of excitement and excitement that had just come down turned into fear in an instant. They all stopped where they were, staring at each other and at a loss.

Professor Chen looked at these people in front of him, sighed softly, and then said to the special police officer just now: "The situation here is unknown, you stay here first, don't move!" I took a few steps back to see if I could go back. ”

The special police officer also seemed nervous, but after hearing Professor Chen say that he would try to find a solution by himself, he said firmly: "I'll accompany you, in case you encounter any messy things again, you can't deal with it alone." ”

Professor Chen looked at him, nodded, and then walked past the group with him, striding forward.

After walking for nearly five minutes, there was still such a passage in front of them, and even the SWAT believed that they must have entered another space. Because in 5 minutes, they should have reached the m-shaped high point a long time ago. It was only now that they realized that the passage they had taken was not up or down, but almost flat. After they had made conspicuous chalk marks on their feet and sides, the two returned to the group. Professor Chen marked the place again, and after marking the time, the group continued to probe and move forward. I walked like this for more than half an hour, and the road under my feet was still like this, and it seemed that there was no end to it. At this moment, the people behind became more and more panicked, and whispered: "We must have encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and if we go around here, we will definitely not be able to get out." ”

In an instant, pessimism spread, and someone chimed in: "We shouldn't have come to someone's cemetery at all!" ”

"Yes, disturbing the dead is a matter of immorality."

Just as they were talking, a louder voice sounded, and he shouted: "Don't say those superstitious words, believe in science!" Where are there ghosts in the world? I ask you, which of you has ever seen a ghost? Again, which house has never buried a dead person underneath it? It's just that you don't know, are there ghosts in your house? ”

After hearing this, Professor Chen turned around and looked around, and saw that most of the people's expressions were very nervous, so after making another mark, he turned to them and said, "Now what we encounter is not a ghost, but a ** array unique to the ancient tomb, the intention is to let us go around here and trap us here." ”

One of the younger cops asked, "So how can we get out?" ”

Professor Chen replied solemnly: "The way out is not known for the time being, although we came in inexplicably, but there will always be a way to go here again, I believe that after walking here, we will be able to find the answer." ”

Another person was skeptical of Professor Chen's words and interjected, "I heard that ghosts hit the wall like this keeps turning, right?" ”

Professor Chen smiled and said to him, "Ghost hitting the wall? I've been doing archaeology all my life, and I've been going down to graves all my life, and anyway, I've never seen a real ghost hit a wall, but I've seen a lot of mechanisms like this. ”

Another person in civilian clothes felt that Professor Chen seemed to be sure, so as if grasping at a life-saving straw, he hurriedly asked, "That means that the one we encounter now, you have often encountered before?" So this is a common trap? So how did you get out in the past? ”

Professor Chen smiled slightly, and introduced kindly: "This is indeed a common mechanism, not to mention other tombs, just in this tomb, we encountered it a few days ago, didn't this also come out?" Therefore, in dealing with unknown events, we must first stay calm, and only by keeping a calm mind can we find a way out. ”

After a few words of comfort from Professor Chen, their mood improved significantly, and the group moved on.

Another ten minutes have passed, and it still hasn't come to the end, let alone the cycle encountered in the past, and Professor Chen himself has no bottom in his heart. He put down the imager, beckoned everyone to sit down and rest, and then said: "Let's save electricity, turn off a few flashlights, it seems that we won't be able to get out for a while." ”

This sentence made everyone nervous again, and someone immediately asked: "Are we completely trapped here and never able to get out?" ”

"Not really, we walked so slowly for less than an hour, and we did not reach the end, nor did we find any hidden passages, and even less found any forks, indicating that the road was still ahead; In addition, we didn't meet Team Fan and them, and there won't be much place in the cave to build a labyrinth, after all, that would be too much work, so I judged that we should be in the same space as Team Fan, and it is estimated that this place is almost over. ”

"If you meet Team Fan, it means the end of it, right?"

"You can say that, but not absolutely, because even if they come to the end, they won't stop there, so they will definitely go back, and as for where the end is, we will only know when we get there."

"In and the movie, isn't this kind of ** array infinitely looping? How did it end up? ”

"There are indeed a lot of cycles, and the use of limited places forms infinite effects."

"What effect do they want?"

"From the designer's point of view, the effect they want is only psychological, which is the state you are in now! Normally, in a circular space, walking one or two circles, it is a person who will slowly lose confidence, this is the first time you have encountered this thing, and it is normal to have such a reaction. ”

As he was talking, there was movement behind him, as if he heard someone talking. Professor Chen quickly motioned for everyone to turn off their flashlights and keep silent, and he pricked up his ears to carefully distinguish the sound in the dark. Soon, the voice was getting closer and closer, and Professor Chen immediately heard it, and the voice was all too familiar to him. After another ten seconds, the voice became clearer and clearer, and Professor Chen was sure that it was Zhang Gong!

I only heard Zhang Gong panting and scolding: "Ya, cycle, recycle, you will only have this kind of mechanism?" And you guys, can you hurry up any longer? Hurry up and catch up with Lao Chen. ”

At this time, Situ Fang's voice also came, and he said: "Slow down behind you, I'll speed up and chase forward by myself, and after catching up, I'll wait for you in front." ”

Hearing this, Professor Chen's heart warmed, in addition to the friendship that Zhang Gong couldn't explain in words, he also had a deep sense of gratitude to Situ Fang, and even more grateful to Lao Lei, the person he arranged for him was really reliable. So he turned on the flashlight and shouted: "Old thing, don't scold the street, watch your feet, don't step on me, I'm here!" ”

The sudden appearance of a flashlight startled Zhang Gong. When he heard that it was Professor Chen's voice, he quickly accelerated and ran two steps to Professor Chen, bent down excitedly, took his hand and said, "I thought I would never see you again." ”
