"I'll just say yes! I just feel like there's something wrong with this echo... Resemble... It was like an extra person was following us! After Donnie finished speaking, he looked back nervously behind him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info This makes everyone's nerves unconsciously start to tense and look around to see if there is something strange. But as far as the eye can see, apart from the statue of Jieludi with green eyes, there are steep stone steps and dark forests on both sides.

Stern didn't really want to bother with this reply, and just wanted to get out of the stone steps quickly, but Anne also said that it was strange, and he listened to it now, but he didn't hear anything.

"Did you hear me wrong? There's no response! ”

"Yes, and it seems like this extra echo is only available when we ascend the stone steps." Anne seemed to be quite sure of her judgment.

"It's simple, if you want to know if there's an extra echo, why don't we all go up the stairs and listen carefully?" The professor, who had been silent, suddenly made a suggestion.

"That's right, we'll do what the professor says, but to make it easier to distinguish the echoes, we'll have to log in in order, and we'll lift our spirits and listen to my commands." Stern whispered and began to give orders.

So everyone cheered up, pricked up their ears, and carefully stepped up the stone steps.

"Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom... Knock..."The five echoes under the stone steps came as scheduled, and everyone exchanged glances, and at the same time stopped in place and pricked up their ears to listen......

This very strange echo was like a hammer that hammered everyone's tense nerves, and everyone's heart was pounding at the moment, and no one dared to make a little sound, so they stood in place and didn't dare to look around, for fear that they would see something terrifying......

After a stalemate like this for more than ten seconds, Donnie couldn't help but speak: "You... You say... Isn't it... There is a secluded... The ghost is following us! ”

"Where did the ghost come from? There's nothing here but the five of us! Stern looked around again to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary.

The professor thought for a moment and said, "It is also possible that the Brahmin who built this ancient road deliberately performed a strange magic, just like the strange setting of Stonehenge. Although we don't know how they did it, it is probably to test the Brahmins who walk this ancient path, so I think we should hurry up and get out. ”

"I also think that's the only way to explain it, as if many old medieval castles in Europe also had various versions of ghost stories, but no one confirmed their existence. Most of them are delusions caused by some rare natural phenomena, in fact, they are scared of themselves, and we should just assume that the extra echo does not exist. ”

Although Anne said this, she was actually a little uncertain in her heart, and even a little panicked, because she understood that the more people believed in science, the more afraid they were of such things that could not be explained by science. For example, with the current scientific development, it is neither possible to prove whether people will have out-of-body souls after death, nor can it prove that there are no ghosts in this world.

Finally, everyone settled down and continued to climb up, but after climbing for a while, the extra knock sound was heard more clearly, as if it was right behind them!

"Who the hell is it?" Stern couldn't take it anymore, raised his gun and looked back at the bottom of the stone steps, but couldn't see anything, it was dark.

In this very weird atmosphere, Stern himself was also very scared, so he could only shout loudly to strengthen himself or scare the "voice" hiding in the dark.

Donnie moaned quietly, "Why don't we stop where we are and wait for him to show up!" It's so painful to listen to that voice all the time! ”

"No, we've got to get up the stone stairs, who knows what the hell it is!" Stern gritted his teeth and said, wishing that thing would show up and finish it off with a gun.

Anne said, "But when we climb the stone steps, the thing is also climbing with us, and when we stop, it will stop with us, and if the stone steps are easier to climb, we will be able to do it quickly." But the stone staircase is so high and steep that I can only go up one step at a time, and I'm afraid that my nerves won't be able to stand it if I keep listening to it. ”

Anne is right, in fact, this echo has always been there, if it wasn't for Downey to mention it, we wouldn't have noticed it at all, but now Downey emphasized the echo, which not only makes it impossible for us to ignore its existence, but even strengthens the perception of this voice, and triggers all kinds of bad imaginations about this sound in our minds. Over time, the sensory organs of our whole body will be mobilized into a state of stress, the heart beats faster, and the blood supply increases, which makes the body enter a physiological regulation, which is difficult to control by consciousness alone. In fact, this is also an instinctive reaction that we have evolved in the face of unknown dangers, which makes people naturally enter a defensive state, if you want to eliminate this reaction, unless you can fool your own subconscious mind and make the body think that the threat from the outside world has been lifted. ”

Stern asked, "So what should we do?" This thing can't be seen, this echo makes a sound as soon as we climb the steps, and we can't see anything when we look back, and we don't know what kind of echo it makes, is there really a ghost following us? ”

The professor continued, "Well, let's try not to pay attention to the echo. Shift your attention to something else. ”

"How to transfer?" Downey asked

"I have a simple idea, but I don't know if it works, is that we try to imagine what we will see when we climb to the top of the stone steps. If we take what is in our heads and describe it in words, maybe we won't think about the echo. So, I'll start with a demonstration, and I think that when we get up the last step of the stone steps, we'll see a great palace-like temple. It's as big as the Angkor Temple, with tall walls, carved cloisters, and a wide Naga guarded Shinto ......"

Everyone listened to the professor's description, and immediately understood, although they didn't know what the effect was, but after listening to what the professor said, they were immediately full of curiosity about the world at the top of the stone steps. As he continued to climb the stone steps, he described the world at the top of the stone steps in his imagination.

Anne took the professor's description, adding her own imagination: "I think that this great temple hides a great secret guarded by generations of Brahmins, and it is related to the rise and fall of the Angkor dynasty......"

Stern was dismissive of the two scholars' imaginations, grinning at his description: "I think when we get to the top, we will have a big pile of rubble in front of us, and next to the river, and there happens to be a boat on the river, and we can take this boat down the river to get out of this hellish place!"

In the dark, Professor and Anne gave Stern a look of disdain......

Downey went on to add Stern's description: "We found a lot of treasure in the ruins before we left on that ship, we fought all kinds of vipers, we loaded the priceless treasure onto the ship and left here......"

Everyone: "......"

Kansa: "......"

Just as everyone ignored the echo and was describing the world on the stone steps, a dark shadow crept behind them under the gaze of the green eyes of Jie Ludu......
