"Recognize, you picked up the ...... from the pile of dead," Su Qiqiao said silently covering his face.

The things that Qin Feng took out from his space bag were a few pieces of blood-stained suit fabric, which were the ones he picked up from the pile of dead people. No one noticed that he had quietly put these things in his bag.

"Hmm." Qin Feng nodded, then walked to a place far away from the fleshy pipes and the bronze basin, crumpled the pieces of suit cloth into balls, and threw them to the ground.

It stands to reason that these pieces of cloth should fall to the ground in an instant. Whether it is Su Qiqiao or William, they all think so.

But...... Those pieces of suit cloth that had been kneaded into balls by Qin Feng suddenly unfolded, separated, and then ...... when they were still three or four centimeters away from the ground Floated up leisurely. In an eerie posture that defies gravity and vectors, it slowly rises into the air in several directions, floats, and flies away......

Two pieces of fabric floated onto the fleshy pipes, and the remaining one flew directly into the eerie purple fluorescent viscous liquid in the bronze basin.

It was as if some invisible hand was grasping them.

Although Su Qiqiao's dynamic eyesight was not good, she still noticed it as soon as she saw that as soon as those pieces of cloth entered the bronze basin and touched the liquid, they changed color and nature, "flowed", and turned into a crumpled colorless fiber......

In the bronze basin there are pieces of flesh, organs, unspeakable deformed creatures, enamel and cuticle clumps, and of course some strange pieces of metal and fibers...... The fibers in it are all colorless, and the moment the piece of suit fabric touches the liquid, it also becomes a colorless fiber!

She shuddered.

This bronze basin ...... Whatever you may say...... It's a little weird, isn't it?

It's like a demon's nest.

She looked at the two pieces of cloth of the suit that had fallen on the fleshy pipe, and at this time, she found them...... It's slowly seeping into the meaty pipes!

"Ahh

This really scared Su Qiqiao, her face was pale, her forehead was sweaty, and she hugged Qin Feng with a coquettish sound, and her warm and soft body was close to Qin Feng's body.

Oh, the blood stains on her body also rubbed against Qin Feng.

"Maybe your mind is still very confused," Qin Feng said slowly, "but I already understand what this maze is all about. ”

"You understand?"

Su Qiqiao asked in disbelief.

"Got it, all of it, all got it." Qin Feng looked at her and chuckled, "But I'll tell you the conclusion directly, you won't understand." So let me start with the beginning and give you a look. ”

Qin Feng looked at Su Qiqiao and William, who looked incredulous, cleared his throat, and began his reasoning beside the strange bronze basin:

"We first found out that in this labyrinth, people's bodies will be swallowed by the labyrinth, and now after coming to this bronze square, we found that clothes can also be swallowed by the labyrinth, but the progress in the maze is slow, and it is accelerated in the bronze square."

In order to make it easier for the two of them to understand, Qin Feng also added various gestures and made comparisons.

But to be honest, those gestures of his are completely incomprehensible to the average person...... This is Qin Feng's stinky problem when he makes long-winded reasoning: he will always add a gesture of "he thinks" to facilitate others to understand his reasoning process. Whether these gestures have a positive or negative effect, only God knows......

"We also found that those monsters will cut human limbs very into pieces, I guess this is to increase the contact area between the ground of the maze and the human body, so that the maze can absorb those people......" Qin Feng silently looked at the bronze basin, as well as the cyan liquid gushing in the bronze basin and those things that were difficult to describe, "After the people were absorbed, I guess they should have come to this ghost place." ”

"Here?" Su Qiqiao was a little shocked at first, but after thinking about it, he immediately figured it out. Isn't it: when people outside die, they are eaten by labyrinths; When Qin Feng and the others turned to the center of the labyrinth, they found that there was a large cauldron here, and the meat was boiling in the pot...... Where did you say the meat in this pot came from?

Isn't it the flesh of the dead?

As soon as he figured this out, Su Qiqiao felt even more ...... Panicky.

"Well, it's a very simple puzzle, I just made a simple and reasonable development based on the known conditions given, and anyone can do it if they are sane and have an IQ of 80." Qin Feng said, "But this bronze basin will release enough aura to make the spiritual value decrease very slowly, and coupled with the magical atmosphere here, it makes people's brains almost unusable; Either you fall into fear or shock, and it becomes difficult to reason at a normal level, let alone further reason......"

Qin Feng continued: "Now, I think there should be two possibilities here. ”

He held out his first finger and then spoke:

"The first possibility: After the people in the labyrinth were absorbed by the labyrinth, they came to this bronze cauldron through these biological pipes......" Qin Feng silently pointed to a worm-like writhing creature in the bronze basin, "This is a new life, you look at it carefully, it is fusing with some pieces of meat, and at the same time, it is also fusing the stratum corneum and enamel......"

"This is the prototype of those monsters?" William interjected. At this time, his face was very strange.

"This is the first possibility I said," Qin Feng said, "- the labyrinth ate the humans and created a monster ......"

"What about the other possibilities?" Su Qiqiao asked.

"The second possibility is that I speculated based on the loophole of the first possibility," Qin Feng said, "If the first possibility, that is, the assumption that humans become new monsters in the bronze basin after being killed by monsters, then we can come up with a simple ecosystem: the entire labyrinth and the monsters in the maze are 'predators', and those humans are 'predators'." In order to maintain the operation of this ecosystem, new humans need to be added to the labyrinth, but along the way, we don't see new humans, right? ”

"Maybe everyone is dead...... Su Qiqiao said.

"It's possible," Qin Feng said, "but if it's the mode of operation under the first possibility, without new human supplements, this labyrinth will soon fall into a state of 'abandonment' and will not be able to operate for a long time." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the bronze basin in which the pieces of meat were boiled:

"Obviously, the system is still working, and this only shows a few things: case one, the first possibility is true, the maze has a steady stream of human replenishment, and the ecosystem is stable; In the second case, the first possibility is true, but there is no human supplement to this labyrinth, but we just happened to be here when the ecosystem of this labyrinth was still working; Finally, there is scenario three...... The first possibility is not true, and the ecosystem of this labyrinth is something else entirely. ”

"All three of these scenarios are possible, and we can't verify them at this stage. But with such a huge system, I don't think it's going to be a one-time thing...... In terms of probability alone, it is more likely that it will be something sustainable. So, I think the first and third of the three scenarios I just gave examples are the most likely. ”

"With the third scenario in mind, I conceived of an alternative ecosystem...... An even more bizarre ecosystem. ”

"The second hypothesis is based on the presence of metal blocks and fibers in the bronze basin." Qin Feng said, "Fiber is the clothes worn by those rich people, and metal blocks are mobile phones, watches and other things for rich people." These things were also swallowed by the labyrinth, but they were devoured very slowly at the time, and I didn't notice it, which was really a mistake...... Anyway, if this bronze basin was for the production of monsters, metal might be used, but how could those fibers be used? ”

"So the first hypothesis has a theoretical loophole: the bronze basin that made the monster was mixed in with strange things." Qin Feng said, "This vulnerability is not very serious, and it does not prevent the first hypothesis from existing, but only reduces its likelihood." Since the likelihood of the first point is reduced, the likelihood of the other hypotheses should be raised. ”

So I came up with the second hypothesis. While this thing is a little hard to believe even to me, and doesn't quite fit the Occam's razor principle, it's the most likely thing in the current situation with very few vulnerabilities......"

"This bronze basin," Qin Feng pointed to the bronze basin with fluorescent purple slime churning with a serious expression, and said in a calm and terrifying voice, "This bronze basin is not creating monsters, but making people. ”

"What?"

This was an incredible exclamation from Su Qiqiao and William at the same time.

"Under the second possibility, the ecosystem I hypothesized is like this," Qin Feng said lightly, "In this ecosystem, there are only two groups: the labyrinth and the humans. Monsters, trains, bronze squares, and even the labyrinth itself are all 'labyrinths', and humans are in a league of their own. The number of human beings may be small, only a dozen. ”

"At the beginning, humans woke up on the subway first......" Speaking of this, Qin Feng glanced at William meaningfully, "After waking up, they walked into the labyrinth, and then they were killed by monsters, or starved to death naturally." After death, the corpse, clothes, and mobile phones were absorbed by the labyrinth and transported by biological pipes to a bronze basin to be reshaped into a human. Mobile phones, clothes, will also be reshaped. ”

"The newborn people were confused and did not have any perception, and then, through this road, they were sent to the subway by the maze......" Qin Feng took out the [maze map] and pointed to the location represented by the bronze square in the center of the maze on the map, and then pointed to a place, where there was a straight road leading to the first line of subway.

It's the line of subway that William remembers.

Su Qiqiao and William immediately looked at a certain corner of the bronze square, and in that corner, there was a passage. They couldn't see it, but they all knew that the passage was shown on the map.

"Do you remember when I said on the subway, this straight passage looks so weird, we still took a long detour to this square, and then went backwards? Remember the straight passage I was talking about?" Qin Feng looked at the two of them and said slowly, "If the second possibility is true, I am almost certain: that passage to the subway, straight, without any curvature, is for the purpose of putting the newborn people on the subway!" ”

"And the biggest evidence to support this theory is ......"

As Qin Feng spoke, he took out the letter in his space bag and pointed out two places: "Here, it says 'We are constantly dying', and here, it says 'We always return to [blocked by blood]...... Able to cross-prove this infinite death hypothesis. ”

Su Qiqiao frowned: "But...... Does such a thing as infinite death work? Why do you have to put people back on the subway when you kill someone? And to resurrect them? I don't understand. ”

"Because it's a punishment." Qin Feng looked at her, then looked at William with a more profound look, and finally moved his gaze to the boiling bronze basin, and said lightly, "...... Let those people have an infinite experience of being killed, reborn, killed, and reborn...... This labyrinth is probably the most bizarre prison we have ever seen, and it offers the most horrific punishment we have ever seen: infinite death. ”
