Chapter 20: Footsteps

I walked a few steps when I heard a second footstep behind me. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 I clenched the Eight Immortals Stool in my hand and stopped. The footsteps behind him also stopped.

"Your boss's, fight with you!" I immediately turned to look behind me, and there was still nothing in the street, and I looked carefully at every corner tower in the vicinity, and I also looked at the overgrown places in the clearing, and I didn't see any monsters. If there are monsters, it is possible to burrow into the grass or hide in the corner tower. But what can hide the moment I turn around without leaving a sound or a trace?

"Running so fast!"

I was bold enough to approach the Flying Corner Tower and take a closer look. I hadn't taken a few steps when I suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind. My heart was cold, why did I run behind me again. Is it that fast?

I immediately turned around and couldn't see anything. I felt more and more strange in my fear. What the hell is it that follows me all the time and doesn't attack me? Every time I turned around, I couldn't see anything except the first time. Can it disappear or even turn behind me the moment I turn around?

"Is there more than one monster?" I thought to myself. "If there's more than one monster, I'm in danger!"

I immediately leaned against the wall, holding my breath and looking left and right. But nothing happened, and nothing out of the ordinary was seen.

I swallowed heavily and looked around in confusion. But after watching for several minutes, I carefully observed every corner. There was no movement, nothing pounced.

"It can't be a ghost, right?" I shook my head vigorously at this point, "How can it be a ghost?" I don't believe in ghosts. "But when I think of the smiling doll in the Shoto Courtyard, my godless concept is shaken again.

I took a deep breath, desperately trying to suppress the fear in my heart and calm my hot mind.

What is the purpose of that thing that follows me all the time but doesn't show up? Do you want me to do something for him? Many plots in Hong Kong ghost movies are that the protagonist has been haunted by ghosts, and in the end, because the ghost has a wish that has not been fulfilled, he wants the protagonist to help him complete it.

Thinking of this, I smiled bitterly, I will memorize these bloody plots. It was making a movie, and now I'm in reality, how can it be the same as a movie? Besides, he really wants me to do something for him, at least show up and talk to me! Is it okay to be scary all day without talking? It's a ghost, it's not human. I feel like the more I think about it, the more outrageous it becomes, a bit too much.

Whatever that thing was, I couldn't see it now, I could only see it one step at a time. He didn't pounce on me many times anyway, at least for the time being. I still have to find an exit to leave the village and return to Baiyun Mountain to find Feibao and Amin.

So I still held the Eight Immortals Stool as a weapon and walked boldly. As soon as I started walking, the footsteps behind me rang out again. Although I don't plan to pay attention to it, the feeling is really creepy.

I walked and walked and felt something was wrong. How could the footsteps in the back keep up with my pace so accurately? I go and it goes, I stop and it stops. It's a little bit of a mistake, and it's a little slower than me, but why would it do that? Although it has been following me, it can go its own way, so why should it follow the same pace with me?

Is it a monkey or something learning me to walk? It's okay if it's a monkey, but if the ghost thing I saw under the tree just now has very uncoordinated hands and feet, no neck, and a head as big as my body is learning me to walk, goosebumps will get up.

It occurred to me that I had an idea in my head that seemed to explain why the footsteps were exactly the same as mine. I looked around again, this time not on the dark corners where I could hide, but on the structure of the Flying Corner Tower and the distance between the Flying Corner Tower, and the composition of the street.

I felt as if I had found the problem. So I tried to prove my conjecture. I took a few steps forward, and the voice followed as I had hoped. I immediately turned around and saw nothing. I turned around and continued walking, in the opposite direction to the direction I had just done, and the sound of footsteps immediately sounded behind me. I turned around again, again seeing nothing. I just turned around and walked a few steps forward, then turned around and walked a few steps back, and the moment I turned around took about a second or two. I heard footsteps when I walked forward and backward, and when I looked back, there was still nothing, which was a bit close to my suspicion.

I tried a few more different ways of walking. This time I went forward, backwards, and the footsteps rang out behind me. I turned around and saw nothing. I turned around and did the same thing again, still the same. Finally I walked forward and looked behind me, and there were footsteps behind me, but I couldn't see anything.

I've tried almost every way to walk, and the results are pretty much in line with my assumptions. I stopped to the side, leaning my back against the wall of the Flying Corner Tower, and then put one foot out, looking around as I stepped on the ground. There weren't any monsters around, but the sound of a second footstep still sounded.

I breathed a heavy sigh of relief. At this point, I was sure that I was basically right. The second footsteps that followed me turned out to be an echo of my own footsteps, and because it was an echo, it was basically the same as my walking pace, and since it took some time for the sound to travel, it always sounded half a beat slower than my footsteps. In the middle of the night, the echo of his footsteps scared him for a while. I think I'm going crazy, and if I come back to something, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown.

I can think that the second footstep is an echo because it is so close to the pace of my footsteps, and the construction of the place makes me think about it. I've been wondering why I didn't hear it there in the mud hut area, but as soon as I stepped into the Flying Corner Tower area, if this was really an echo of my footsteps. This is the first question to be solved to prove whether my conjecture is correct or not.

After observing the structure of this area, I remembered the principle of echo generation that I had learned in high school physics. Two conditions are required to produce an echo: first, the sound source must be large enough. Although my footsteps are not very loud here, in the dead old village, in the alleys so quiet that you can't even hear the sound of insects, my footsteps are very loud. Second, sound waves are reflected when they encounter a smooth plane, as if light is reflected. When the reflected sound waves return to the human ear and are more than 0.1 seconds slower than the original sound, we can hear the original sound and the echo. This has something to do with the structure of the Flying Corner Tower, which is not like a mud house, its walls are relatively smooth. Moreover, the distance between the Flying Corner Tower and the Flying Corner Tower is relatively long, which forms an echo of my footsteps. So I always feel like someone is following behind me.

The design here is also terrifying! Let yourself hear the echo of your footsteps all the time. Wouldn't it be scary to come out at night, didn't those villagers think about it when they designed this area of Feijiaolou? Or does this design have another purpose?

After knowing that the second footstep was an echo, my fear had eased a lot and my spirit relaxed. As soon as I relaxed, all the tiredness that had accumulated all over the night hit me at once, and I suddenly felt tired and sore, and my feet could no longer walk. I sat down on the floor, intending to rest for a while before looking for an exit.

Thinking of finding the exit, I was annoyed again, I don't know what the hell is here, the village is big, I don't know where to look, even if I find the exit, I still don't know how to get out after returning to Baiyun Mountain.

The village is very strange, the furniture inside the house is covered with a thick layer of dust, and it looks like no one has lived in it for a long time. What's going on here?

"By the way, it's not like there's no one here, that black cloak just now should be a person, right?" I thought to myself, "His graceful movement can only be said to be human, right?" ”

Since entering Baiyun Mountain, nothing normal has happened. The strange things in the Yueyun Painting Workshop, the terrifying things in the Songtao Courtyard, and the ghost calls in the forest, plus in this village, I can't even understand the words on the stone at the entrance of the village. I wondered: Did that black cloak bring me here on purpose? If so, what is his purpose? Why did he disappear on his own after bringing me in?

Torches were lit in the streets and alleys of the village, but no one was to be seen except for the black cloak, and there was no sign of any movement here. Don't tell me these fires weren't lit by people, I'll be scared.

After entering the village, I felt that it was deeply cloudy, and I don't know if it was because the surrounding forest was full of people and no one was active, and the carbon dioxide content was relatively small, so it seemed a little cold. The house smelled of cold wind and mildew. After stopping and relaxing, I actually felt a little cold. I rubbed my hand against my cold arm.

"I was scared enough by the footsteps just now, and it's still so cold," I thought to myself, "It's summer, what the hell is going on here?" Even in the middle of the night, it can't give me chills! And ......: "Thinking of this, I suddenly have a question about the idea of explaining the principle of footsteps.

The second footsteps were barely explained by me in a scientific way. But how do you explain the monster figure you saw under the tree just now? I shudder at the thought of this. Why is there such a monster here? Did it follow me? Thinking of this, I held the Eight Immortals Stool tightly and looked around.

Suddenly I noticed that something was wrong with the torch on the right, and it felt a lot darker, and it felt like something was in front of me.
