At this time, in the narrow passage, the three of them all stopped sideways, Gao Chao and Xia Qing were all looking at the fat man alone, just because of what he said just now, which made the atmosphere even more weird.

In a trance by candlelight, the darkness around him seemed to be about to be pressed down, and this narrow passage was a little breathless.

The fat man had even more difficulty breathing, after all, his chest and back were much thicker than others, and even if he was sideways now, he could fill this passage to the fullest.

However, the fat man didn't care about these things at the moment, he only said half of what he said just now, and now he has to continue to finish, and Gao Chao and Xia Qing are also waiting for him to say it.

Maybe it was because the fat man was more taboo about what he was about to say, so he looked back at the darkness behind him tremblingly, and felt that there should be nothing unusual there, so he turned his face and continued in a low voice: "You don't know, there is a kind of ghost hitting the wall that happens under this ground, I also heard our old man say, although the tomb road in some ancient tombs is straight, but as long as someone walks in, they can never come out again, that kind of tomb road is particularly evil, walk in it every distance, You will find that you are walking back to the same place, if you turn around and go back, it is also a result, and some people tie the rope around their waists, and they will find the head of the rope left in the tomb, and then he will start to pull the rope, and guess what? ”

At this point, Gao Chao and Xia Qing both shook their heads at the same time, and the fat man continued in a smaller voice: "Pulling and dragging, I found that there was also a person tied to the other end of the rope, and when he took a closer look, that person was none other than himself!" ”

Although what the fat man said was colorful, and in such an environment, it really made people hairy, but Gao Chao pouted and said to the fat man at this time: "Zhao Fatzi, I haven't heard you tell ghost stories for many years, I didn't expect you to have the same virtue as when you were a child, and you heard everything from your father, can't you be a little creative?" Besides, you've been telling ghost stories for a while, and our top priority now is to get out of here, but we don't have time to listen to your nonsense here! ”

Hearing Gao Chao say this, the fat man raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Gao, why don't you believe buddy again?" I admit that some of the ghost stories I told when I was a child were made up by me, but now what I am telling you is really something that my father passed on by word of mouth, and it will never be faked, I swear to God! ”

The fat man was very serious, but Gao Chao still disagreed: "Okay, fat man, your story itself is flawed, let me ask you, you said that someone was trapped in that kind of tomb, and then tied a rope or something, so how did others know about these things?" Could it be that after he was trapped and died in the grave, there were reporters who came to interview him and asked him to tell his story clearly? This is a paradox! ”

Gao Chao looked very confident, but the fat man said indignantly: "I said Gao Chao, how can you still drill the horns of such an understanding person?" Who says those who are trapped have to die inside? That kind of tomb does exist, and it is indeed a ghost hitting the wall, but those trapped corpse touchers still escaped, and my father said that he also encountered it when he was young, and they were not trapped to death, and finally escaped! ”

Gao Chao held the candle, looked at the fat man and rolled his eyes and said, "Look, what did I say, your father came out again!" When you tell stories in the future, don't mention his old man again, okay? That might be a little more convincing to me! ”

As soon as the fat man heard Gao Chao say this about himself, and he was still in front of Xia Qing, he couldn't help but get angry and talk to Gao Chao's theory, but who is Gao Chao? He knows the fat man too well, and at this moment he doesn't have to look to know that the fat man must be so angry that he will definitely blow up if he stabs it again.

So before the fat man could speak again, Gao Chao hurriedly said seriously: "Comrades, listen to me now, when we ran out of that basement just now, everyone was very anxious and nervous, and this passage is quite special, very narrow, and very depressing, so the combined effect of all this will make us have an illusion that we have walked a long distance in this passage, but we have not yet found the exit, but in fact the distance we have walked may be much smaller than our own feelings, This is one of the things I learned when I was in the army, and this delusion has a name, ...... What's it called? Gao Chao said that he was stuck here, and he really couldn't remember the name.

However, Xia Qing, who was standing between Gao Chao and the fat man at this moment, suddenly said: "Overestimate the illusion." ”

Hearing Xia Qing's reminder, Gao Chao also suddenly remembered, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's an illusion of overestimation, Miss Xia, you also know this?" ”

Gao Chao looked at Xia Qing with a surprised face, but Xia Qing nodded indifferently and said: "Overestimation illusion is an extreme psychological phenomenon, I have just read some information about it, I remember that there is something that seems to be similar to our current situation, probably during the First World War, a British army unit walked into the abandoned trenches of the enemy, because the soldiers did not see the enemy, so they scattered in the trenches to rest, but after more than ten days encountered foggy weather, As a result, this British army unit actually got lost in these abandoned trenches, and waited until the fog cleared before coming out of it, only to find that the abandoned trench area was really not large, much smaller than they imagined, and later after psychologist analysis, it was believed that those British soldiers in a special environment, all had the illusion of overestimation, thinking that they fell into a trench deliberately dug by the enemy, fell into the enemy's trap, they slowly frustrated, and slowly disintegrated the morale of the battle, There were even many soldiers who committed suicide due to hallucinations during those ten days, so it can be said that the illusion of overestimation is a false perception caused by some comprehensive psychological problems, and it is even fatal in special circumstances. ”

Xia Qing talked eloquently, Gao Chao and the fat man were both stunned, in fact, Gao Chao had only listened to the instructor talk about the illusion of overestimation in the company training before, because soldiers will encounter many extreme situations in the war, and this illusion of overestimation may lead to serious consequences, but the instructor only mentioned some casually, Gao Chao is actually not very clear about those theoretical things at all, just now he mentioned the "illusion of overestimation", just to appease everyone's nervousness, to cheer everyone up and boost morale, Because he knows very well that in such an environment, no matter what situation he encounters, he must not panic, and if he panics, something will happen.

However, Gao Chao never thought that what he was equivalent to saying in the air would be affirmed by Xia Qing, and he immediately said to Xia Qing with a smile: "Miss Xia is right, the environment is special now, we can't think nonsense about anything, and we must not make a ghost at every turn to explain the current situation as some people say, it is unscientific and ...... rigorous."

As he spoke, Gao Chao glanced at the fat man, and the fat man was about to explode in the distance, so Gao Chao hurried up and said: "I think so, now that we have calmed down, let's hurry up and continue walking, maybe there is an exit ahead." ”

Of course, Xia Qing also agreed with Gao Chao's opinion, nodded at the moment, and followed behind Gao Chao, the two of them turned sideways and continued to walk towards the passage in front of them.

Gao Chao continued to walk forward, but suddenly felt wrong, because he didn't hear the sound of "stabbing and stabbing", that sound should be behind them, because the sound was the sound of the fat man's chest and back rubbing against the inner wall of the passage, at this time there was silence behind Gao Chao and Xia Qing, and Gao Chao held the candle and looked behind him.

I saw that the fat man was standing alone in the passage in the distance, and he turned sideways and lit a cigarette, as if he had no intention of leaving.
