Chapter 48: Mirroring
"Captain Cao, do you think of anything?" I asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ma Liu and Ah Mao both said just now that when I hit the signal flare forward, we also send out the signal flare behind us at the same time! I guess this is not the work of a large army! ”
"Then is there really something unclean behind us that wants to confuse us with Ah Chun's flare gun?"
"No, I think it's a mirror image!"
"Mirror?" I said in surprise, suddenly, I seemed to have just reached Captain Cao's thoughts, "I see! ”
"Did you all think of it? Hurry up and tell us, don't sell it! Ma Liu said.
"Don't you think of that yet? It's a mirror! What was just followed by our flares was a mirror image, and it was the mirror that reflected the light of our flares. There's a mirror here, and I guess there's at least one behind us as well. These two mirrors reflect the light from the flares in front of us behind us. This will serve the purpose of deception. ”
"I see!" Ma Liu said, "Could the light from the flares we saw at the beginning also be caused by these mirrors?"
"It's supposed to be these mirror problems." Captain Cao said, "I guess the flare was fired by someone somewhere, and then the reflection from a nearby mirror mistook the actual direction of the person who fired the flare. And the Tai Chi Senluo formation is always moving, so we see the flares in a different direction every time! But is it a large force of people who send flares, or is it ......"
In fact, everyone knows what Captain Cao wants to say behind "still", but Captain Cao really can't say it. I also don't want to believe that the flare was fired by the dead Ah Chun. Everyone was silent.
Ah Mao spoke: "Captain, what are we going to do next?" ”
"Break the nearby bronze mirror so you don't see the mirror. It is possible to find the source of the flare! ”
"That'...... So what if it's not a large force that fires flares? ”
"What else can I do! Let's take it down! ”
I admired Captain Cao's unhesitating judgment very much, and I couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He then picked up his pistol and fired several shots into the mirror. The copper mirror is not like the glass mirror we usually use, the copper mirror will not break, and if you want the copper mirror not to reflect, you can only rough its surface. At this time, the copper mirror is emitted like a honeycomb, and it is estimated that it is difficult to reflect the light.
Then a white light appeared to our left, and it was the light of the flare.
"Shall we go over?" Mao looked to the left and said.
"Don't worry about it for now, let's get the nearby bronze mirror done. Otherwise, we will never find the source of the flare! ”
"Yes!"
We then searched for a bronze mirror nearby. The color of the mirrors is almost exactly the same as the color of the columns, so we can only determine the position of the copper mirrors when they reflect the light of the flashlight.
Let's go behind us in the direction of the flare that was reflecting us. Finally, a bronze mirror was found on a pillar. After I destroyed it, I used flares to see if there were any reflections around it. I didn't expect to find out that we had mirrors in all directions. The flares that tried to lure us there were also fired from time to time. Thanks to it, we saved several flares. We can look for the Bronze Mirror based on the light of the other party's flares. Because as long as the light of the signal flare is emitted in that direction, but after walking for more than ten minutes, the source of the signal flare is still not seen, and it is certain that there is at least one copper mirror in that direction.
Before we knew it, we had knocked out seven or eight bronze mirrors. When we tried it with the flare gun again, there was no reflection nearby. I guess the nearby bronze mirrors have been knocked out for us.
At this time, Captain Cao motioned for us to rest in place and wait for the flare to fire again to confuse us. This time we have to find the source. Captain Cao said, whether it is the behavior of the large army, or the corpse or the ghosts, they dare to lure us over, we will go over and play with them to the end.
The flare was fired every ten minutes or so, but I think it took a bit of a long time to wait this time. I looked at my watch, it had been more than twenty minutes since the last flare fired.
"What's going on this time?" Ma Liu said, "It's been more than 20 minutes, have they run out of flares?" ”
"It's possible!" Captain Cao said, "They have fired more than 10 rounds just now, and if it is a large force, it is estimated that there will be signal flares." But if it's a flare from Ah Chun's backpack, it is estimated that there is not much left. ”
"What then?" "If we don't have a flare to guide us......"
Before Mao finished speaking, we saw a white light flashing in the direction of ten o'clock, which was the light of a signal flare.
"Everyone be on alert, let's go!" Captain Cao said and took the lead to walk forward.
We walked very carefully along the way, and in order not to make footsteps, we walked relatively slowly. Our flashlights also try not to shine too far. Because we don't know what awaits us in front of us, we can't let the other party discover us first.
Not long after leaving, Captain Cao suddenly raised his fist and motioned for us all to stop.
"Captain, is there a situation ahead?" Ma Lu asked in a low voice.
My heart tensed immediately, and I looked around, but I didn't find anything.
"Look here!" Captain Cao pointed to the compass in his hand.
We all leaned over, only to see the compass start spinning again. Then Captain Cao took out the compass given to him by Master Zhang from his bag, and he was also spinning non-stop.
"Why do you spin around at this time!" Ma Liu said, "Then shall we go or not?"
Captain Cao took a deep breath and said, "We have no way out!" You can only keep going! Listening, moving in a triangular formation woke me up to the spirit. ”
"Yes!" Ah Mao and Ma Lu said in unison.
I saw Ah Mao and Ma Lu retreat to the left rear, and the other to the right rear.
"What triangle formation?" I asked, puzzled.
"The three of us line up in a triangle so that the field of view can be maximized!" Captain Cao said.
"What about me?"
"You're in the safest position out of the three of us. But you also have to be mentally minded. Because Master Zhang said that there is danger when the compass cannot point to the same place. But the place where the flare was fired just now was in front, and we had to go over and take a look. ”
"Hmmm! I will! ”
"Let's keep walking!"
Before we could take a step, we heard the click of a mechanism, followed by a rumbling sound overhead.
We immediately focused on our surroundings. I'm thinking: what kind of mechanism are we going to touch? Can it be avoided? Ah Chun and Ah Sen died on the trap. But I've never seen the mechanism here. When I chased them just now, although it was triggered once, nothing happened. What will happen this time? The intense uneasiness made cold sweat break out on my forehead.
But after waiting for a while, nothing happened around him, not even the roar overhead.
"Make no mistake!" Ma Lu said impatiently, "Is it another dumb fire mechanism?" ”
"It's the same as the one just now, it didn't trigger. The people in this design agency are too unprofessional! Mao said.
"Just because you are unprofessional, maybe it will save your life." I say.
Captain Cao still looked around and said, "Maybe this place is really old, and some organs may not be usable!" ”
"But that's fine!" Ma Liu said, "Save us from being afraid!" ”
"Don't be careless!" Captain Cao said, "Don't forget that Ah Sen and Ah Chun both died on the machine. There should also be an active mechanism here. Let's keep walking! ”
Our pace is slow, so it will take some time to get to where the flare was coming from. This time, we didn't question whether the direction was correct, because we could still create a mirror image even though the nearby copper mirrors were all broken by us, so we had to obey.
Suddenly, a white light appeared not far from us. In the white light, I saw two people. The light of the flare was bright, but fleeting, and the two men had their backs to us, so they couldn't see it clearly.
Captain Cao motioned for us to stop again and whispered, "Put out the flashlight!" ”
"Captain, they seem to be our people? Why be so vigilant?" Ma Lu also whispered.
"Why are they left alone?" Captain Cao said, "Why don't you go with the big army?" And no more, no less, just two people?"
"Captain, do you mean it's possible that they could be Ah Chun and Ah Sen?" Ma Liu looked at Captain Cao in surprise.
"I don't know! But until you know for sure, you can't rule out any possibility! "But what makes me feel most strange is the behavior of those two people after sending the flare!" ”
I also noticed this suspicion of Captain Cao, and the two of them kept their backs to us. They remained motionless and looked down at the ground after firing the flare. The light of their flashlight was very faint, and it was estimated that they were running out of power. Because the light is so dim, you can't see their small movements, and you can't tell what they're doing!
"Ah Mao, Ma Liu, no matter who they are, you can take it from the left and right!"
"Yes!" The two replied in a whisper.
Ah Mao and Ma Lu slowly groped into the dark, while Captain Cao took out his pistol, pulled up the bolt, and aimed at the two "people" who didn't know if they were people.
