Finale (I) Chapter 21 A Strange Affair in the Tunnel
All the process was almost the same as before, only this time they were more tired. They searched the stone walls almost inch by inch, and in the fat man's words, the two tentacle-like fingers of the stuffy oil bottle touched almost every inch of these stone walls, but to no avail.
Just when they thought they would soon go out again, this time the situation changed, and they quickly came to a dead end. The tunnel turned into a dead end, and a stone wall appeared in front of them.
After participating in three drafts, the prizes for the talent show were really changed to.
Inexplicably, the stuffy oil bottle felt that it was not good, so they immediately walked back, intending to think about it after they went out. After only walking a dozen meters, they found that the prize this time was not only shit, but also stinky shit.
They quickly inquired about the population, and when they went out, they immediately realized that something was wrong, that this was not the place where they had come in, and that they had come to a strange place.
In front of them was a small cave. The bottom of this cave is full of waterholes and potholes.
At first, they thought that they had found the location of the ancient building by mistake, and this cave was where the ancient building was located. These pools were the key, so he began to study these pools, the pools were not deep, and the fat man immediately found that there were a large number of white bones at the bottom of the pools, all of which were human bones. Just when they were wondering what was going on, soon Mrs. Huo began to react.
"It's also a shame that Mrs. Huo is weak. We went all the way, but we felt that the air was very dull, and we didn't realize too much, until Mrs. Huo suddenly bleed under the skin. We realized that there was something wrong with the air in the cave. The air in that cave was poisonous, probably because of the build-up of minerals and gases underground. We wore gas masks, but it didn't work. The poisonous gas is very rotten and is directly absorbed by the skin. "We immediately retreated to the edge of the tunnel." Then retreat back into the tunnel, where you can hold on a bit. β
At this point, the situation is clear. The mechanism in this tunnel can only be wrong twice, and the third time it starts, the mechanism will lead everyone to a cave full of poisonous gas.
With modern technology, this mechanism is actually not difficult to implement, only a three-way valve is required. However, after the stuffy oil bottle was 100% sure that there could be no mechanism here, this phenomenon happened. Thereupon. Both groups began to develop feelings of distrust.
In that situation, both the fat man and Mrs. Huo began to doubt the judgment of the stuffy oil bottle, but the others did not have any convincing ideas. Later, Mrs. Huo used her prestige to suppress the crisis, and the next few hours were very difficult, and they used everything to block the mouth of the tunnel to prevent the poisonous gas from pouring in too quickly.
It sounds a bit strange that the same road, walked twice, and the exits turned out to be completely different. How is this soft mechanism built? There is a spatial paradox in this.
I couldn't help but think of what happened to me at Genting Heavenly Palace. Could it be that the ancients had this kind of technology?
They can only try over and over again. However, almost every time. They all come out of different exits. I don't know how many exits there are in this mountain, and Jingran can make them different every time they come out.
They first discussed the possibility of the existence of a corpse here, and the fat man's gold talisman was burned again. But this time it didn't work at all.
This feeling of not being able to fight and not being able to dig and digging made them almost collapse, and the whole team didn't know where they were at all, and they even felt that the entire Zhangjia Ancient Building was not in our space, but in another space. It's just a pity that the passage to that space hasn't been grafted into this space yet.
I'm listening. knew that the fat man finally found Zhangjia Gulou. I'm glad that the wrong password didn't kill them. Although I really want to know how the fat man escaped in the end, but now I am anxious to know what happened to the Zhangjia Ancient Building behind. I'm a little more anxious than usual.
"Don't tell me these details, just tell me the results." I said, "How did you end up in the ancient building?" β
The fat man shook his head: "It's not us, it's them, I didn't go in." I don't know how they got in, don't worry, I'm not going to start from the beginning, I said that the above is meaningful, and what happens next is the key. All I can tell you is what happened and why they must still be alive. β
After a long period of being at a loss, they finally stopped and began to think about the truth of the matter and make certain assumptions. The fat man listed his enumeration.
A few options this time around:
For one, there were incomprehensible europium mechanisms in the tunnel, which worked to lead to this result.
Second, this tunnel does transcend the limits of time and space.
Thirdly, their minds were swayed by something, which was different from the corpse and could not be found by the smoke that burned with rhino horns.
In fact, these are all clichΓ©s, that is, several possibilities speculated earlier.
They tested and refuted them one by one, and after the stuffy oil bottle repeatedly determined that there could be no mechanism in the tunnel, the fat man used his own method to dig a few small holes in the stone wall, place some explosives, and then carry out a small blast.
To his surprise, the stones here were not as strong as he thought, and a large part of the stone wall was blown away by him, and a large deep pit appeared. He continued to blow in, trying to find evidence that there might be space behind the stone wall, but after several blows, the pit got deeper and deeper, and all that was exposed was stone.
He found several places to do such blast tests, and the results were the same.
It is impossible for the mechanism to be buried behind a rock that is too deep, and it is impossible for the first one to be verified.
The second fat man didn't believe it at all. He was obsessed with the corpses, believing that something must be in the tunnel that had fascinated them, and wanted to make the Stuffy Bottle spill blood all the way to see if it worked, and ignored him, but suggested that the only possible way to save them at the time was to save them.
They stand at each end of the tunnel, and the people at the mouth of the tunnel will not change, but if the exit of the tunnel moves, and the people walking in the tunnel go back, and after the population comes in again, the people guarding the exit of the tunnel may see the truth about the movement of the tunnel entrance.
Because what happens at the exit of the tunnel can be unbelievable. So this candidate must be a stuffy oil bottle, while the fat man guards the position of the population, and the others go as fast as possible. Re-asked to the population, through the tunnel.
The reason why the fat man was chosen in the position of the population. It was because in Mrs. Huo's team at that time, only he and the stuffy oil bottle still maintained considerable mobility, which was inseparable from the fat man and the stuffy oil bottle's previous large number of unbelievable experiences, so when everyone else was almost collapsed, the two of them were almost doing it alone.
They divided their work, put on gloves on the bottles, tied the gaps in the sleeves of their trousers, and went into the cave.
From now on. He never reappeared.
One of them went out to see what was going on, and after only three minutes of going there, he came back and said that the stuffy oil bottle was missing.
Everyone collapsed, and the fat man went out to look, one waterhole after another, and found that the stuffy oil bottle was indeed gone.
"The professional missing person really lives up to his name." My heart said.
"A lot of things happened after that, and our poisoning got worse and worse, and then I caused it." "When I woke up, I found that all the people around me were gone. β
That's what you deserve. The fat man can only talk to me now. Because this time, the team that entered the tunnel has not returned.
The fat man waited until dawn the next day to determine that something was wrong. I had to go to the tunnel. This time, he noticed that the tunnel had changed. After walking inside for more than ten minutes, he walked out of the tunnel again, but this time, instead of returning to the outside of the mountain, he entered a dark place.
He turned on his flashlight and immediately found himself on the edge of a completely different cave waterhole, which was a very peculiar waterhole in the shape of a gourd. The bottom is water, and the top is empty. In the middle, there is a stone beam that leads to the opposite side against the water. The fat man walked over and found that there was a dead end on the other side. And in the middle of the stone beam, he saw something beneath the water's surface.
It was a flat surface beneath the surface of the water. I don't know what material it was chiseled out of. The fat man reached down and pressed a few handfuls. I found that it was relatively strong, so I went into the water and looked close to the water, and this plane reflected a very dazzling light.
He found that it was a mirror, a palm's depth under the entire surface of the water, and there was a mirror two or three feet wide.
It was in this mirror that he saw a huge reflection, which was a huge ancient building with carved beams.
The fat man's first reaction was that the ancient building was hanging on the top of this cave, and he immediately looked up, only to find that there was nothing above his head. He was very surprised, and looked down to see that the ancient building in the mirror was full of quails, and it was clearly under him.
If not overhead, isn't this not a mirror, but a piece of glass? This ancient building is actually sunk in the water?
He shouted a few times, but no one answered him, so he had to walk to the edge of the mirror to see if the ancient building was calm underwater, and he immediately knew that it was impossible. It turned out that the waterhole was extremely shallow, and the mirror was under the surface of the water a palm's depth, and the depth of the water was only waist-deep. He leaned down and dived under the mirror, swam around, and found that the bottom of the pool was so deep that it was difficult to hide an ancient building, even lying on his stomach and raising his head.
So what's going on? The fat man climbed back onto that mirror. He began to wonder if the ancient building in the mirror was just a painting.
If the cold cave and the strange ancient mirror did not make him feel frightened, then when he lay on the mirror surface and carefully looked at the ancient building in the mirror, what he saw made him feel all over. There was a real creep.
In the ancient mirror, he raised an ancient building, and in a corridor of the ancient building, he suddenly saw the stuffy oil bottle and Mrs. Huo resting in it. He saw the light of the flashlight flickering through the cracks in the hallway
It's just weird. The cold sweat on the fat man's head was dripping out luxuriously, as if he was in the plot of a certain strange book. He taps on the mirror, trying to attract the attention of the person in the mirror, but the people below are unaware of his presence.
Hear here. I was completely blinded, and asked the fat man, "You mean, are they in a mirror?" β
The fat man nodded: "Yes." This ancient building of the Zhangjia family is in a mirror. β
How can it be. I said in my heart and asked, "Are you sure you see it?" Not your hallucination? β
"Third master, although we have not played more fights than you, but it can be regarded as a loud trumpet in Beijing, whether it is true or false, I can't tell the difference? It's true, that building is in a mirror, and they're all upstairs in a mirror. (To be continued)
