That year, Zhuo Xiong's father died in Qifeng Mountain, although it was not his biological father, that person could even be said to be his "enemy". But over the years, Zhuo Xiong has never hated him, and only has the affection that raised him and the nostalgia for losing this family affection, so he still calls him his father.

Not long after going down the tunnel, he, like Cha Wenbin, also felt uncomfortable, and the indescribable depression and loneliness instantly surrounded his whole body. Just when he was in a deep confusion, a person not far away was waving at him, the person was a little blurry, and it was a little far away, but with his silhouette and figure, Zhuo Xiong recognized it as his dead father at a glance.

Like Cha Wenbin, the "father" stood from a distance and watched him, and when Zhuo Xiong wanted to catch up and take a clear look, he turned and ran, and then disappeared. Then, Zhuo Xiong chased down the pit and met Cha Wenbin.

Cha Wenbin squatted at the two entrances, playing with the astrological ball in his hand: "I also saw things that shouldn't be seen." ”

"You see? Who is it? ”

Who are those guys? Cha Wenbin didn't even know that those three people who were inextricably linked to him but didn't exist at all.

"A few old people, so I guess Chaozi should have seen something and chased here. With his personality, it's likely that he'll chase all the way to the end, and I've just gone in to try it, and it's a complete labyrinth, and once you get in, you'll be trapped inside. ”

"Chaozi is trained, he shouldn't be able to break into this kind of place, if I were him, once I found out that it was a maze, I would mark it along the way." This is the field habit of scouts, and when they encounter a place where there is no reference, marking is an effective measure to prevent getting lost, and it is also a sign for those behind to search.

As soon as the two of them put it together, they decided to go in and find out, Zhuo Xiong had a miner's lamp in his hand, this thing, it can be managed for 24 hours after a flush, and it is still very bright at this time.

According to Cha Wenbin's feeling, they picked the hole on the left in advance, and after entering, they searched all the way along both sides, and sure enough, at thirty meters, Zhuo Xiong found a "ten" shaped mark carved with a dagger. Seeing that the trace is very fresh, that is, it was carved not long ago, and this can be concluded to be left by Chaozi.

Further on, less than fifty meters, a second marker began to appear. Zhuo Xiong said happily: "Follow this mark all the way to find it, you will definitely find it." ”

And Cha Wenbin looked at the footprints on the ground but was confused, he remembered that there were footprints in another passage, and they belonged to the same person, could there be a mark over there, and Chaozi walked on both sides?

Looking at the new fork in the road not far away, Cha Wenbin decided to quit first: "Come out with me first, go to the other side and have a look." ”

The two of them retreated again, this time the entrance on the right, and after touching it, Zhuo Xiong made a measurement with his fingers, and he was sure that the shoe prints on both sides belonged to the same person. And thirty meters here, almost in the same position, he found an almost identical "ten" mark.

"Really, look here!" His miner's lamp locked the mark in his ring. "Looking ahead, do you remember where the second marker was?" "Hmm!"

continued to advance fifty meters, and in the lower right corner, the second "ten" mark appeared, and Cha Wenbin's face turned white with a brush. Two passages, two identical markings, in the same place, appeared by the same person.

Why did Superton do this?

The question is obviously not why Chaozi did this, but what kind of situation did they encounter with Chaozi?

Just when Cha Wenbin wondered why the two marks were so similar, Zhuo Xiong was surprised to find that there were several more shoe prints at the fork in the road ahead. He stepped forward and shone the shoe prints with a flashlight, compared them with his hands, and came to a conclusion: there were once three people walking by, and one of them was himself!

"Brother Wen, Brother Wen Bin, the road over there just now also stopped when I walked to this place, you come over and see, the footprints here, except for one of them, which continued to walk inside, the others have turned around."

Cha Wenbin didn't understand and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I mean, this place, we've been here! But what we just went to was obviously the road on the left, why are there my footprints and you on the right, and the place where we stopped was the place where we stopped on the right just now. ”

"You mean? The left and right sides of our walk are actually the same path? This conclusion made the two look at each other, and the two big living people could see clearly and clearly, and the left and right were always separated.

Zhuo Xiong had an idea: "I have a way to confirm it. As he spoke, he pulled out his dagger and retreated to the "ten" mark engraved by Chaozi, and then slashed it fiercely below.

Cha Wenbin immediately understood what he meant: "Yes, if we walk into the same road twice, then if we exit and re-enter the left side at this time, there should be a scratch on that side." ”

The two retreated again, and when they came out, Cha Wenbin deliberately looked at the two forks that were only half a meter apart, one left and one right, and there was really no difference in appearance. After choosing the passage on the left, the two entered for the second time, but what was the actual situation? On the left, there is no "one" mark depicted by Zhuo Xiong below the second mark depicted by Chaozi.

This shows that they did not walk the same road twice, but two completely different paths. So, everything goes back to before, how to explain the overlap between the shoe prints on the ground and the position of the marks drawn by Chaozi?

These endless questions made Cha Wenbin feel a pain in his head, at first it was just an overwhelming sense of loneliness, then he saw people who didn't exist, and then this damn passage. For the first time, he felt that he had fallen into a situation where he could not advance or retreat, the person was definitely in it, and it should not be difficult to get out, but Chaozi did not bring supplies at all, even if he was professionally trained, but people were lost for a long time, not to mention food, and that irritability alone could drive people crazy.

In this place, you can't see the sky when you look up, and the dirt when you look down, just when the two of them are at a loss, Cha Wenbin has an idea in his heart again, in this case, what will happen if the two of them go apart? If there is really no problem, then the two of them will go where they are and return, if there is, then there will be an extremely terrible situation: there will be a Zhuo Xiong next to Cha Wenbin, and there may also be a Cha Wenbin next to Zhuo Xiong!

This idea is risky, from any point of view, if that situation really happens, will two people become four people at that time? Who's real and who's fake?

If you don't get into the tiger's den, Cha Wenbin decided to give it a try!

This time, Zhuo Xiong chose the left and Cha Wenbin chose the right, and they agreed to go until the second mark and start returning, and no matter what they saw or what happened during the process, they would wait until they arrived at the designated place before returning.

Cha Wenbin had a fire fold in his hand, and Zhuo Xiong had a flashlight, and they had repeated it several times when they entered a hundred meters from here. Thirty meters in, the first mark, nothing unusual happened, Cha Wenbin stopped and looked back, there was no situation as he imagined, he was still alone.

Could it really be a coincidence? Or are you overly nervous?

In the next second, Cha Wenbin thought that his eyes were spent, and a man, a man he was familiar with, walked towards him, holding a flashlight in his hand, and the bright light even made Cha Wenbin unable to open his eyes. The man's pace was fast, and as they passed by, Cha Wenbin watched him penetrate his body.

Cha Wenbin turned around and watched him walk slowly towards the exit, even if it was burned to ashes, he would recognize it, this person was called Zhuo Xiong!

Do you still need to continue? Cha Wenbin didn't think about it, when "Zhuo Xiong" was about to come to the end, he disappeared, as if he had never been here, but the pile of footprints on the ground still showed that what he saw just now was indeed him.

Cha Wenbin walked out silently with a huge question mark in his heart, but fortunately, there was only one Zhuoxiong outside.

"Brother Wen Bin, you can figure it out."

Cha Wenbin looked up at the familiar face, and he was sure that he could not be mistaken.

Zhuo Xiong saw that Cha Wenbin's face was a little bad, and hurriedly comforted: "Did you find anything?" I just went in alone, and I came out alone, so I guess I'm really nervous. ”

"I saw it, and I won't hide it from you." Cha Wenbin hesitated for a moment and then said: "I saw you appear inside, but you can't see me, there is really a problem here, and the problem is very big." ”

"Me?" Zhuo Xiong pointed to his chest and said, "But I'm really on the left." ”

"I know, I know it's not really you, but it's you, that is, on the right, I can see you and me on the left appear in the same plane, but they don't intersect. To put it simply, if I go to the left, you should see me on the right, but not on the left. This explains why the marker you draw only appears on the right, not on the left, and only the channel on the right will appear as a near-duplicate. ”

"Why is this happening?"

"I don't know, but, I think, that's how it should be, that's the only way to explain."
