Chapter Twenty-Five: The Fallen Tower
I rolled into the hole with the old egg, and by the way, I also smashed Hou Jun to the ground, and the three of them rolled on the stone stairs for a few turns before they could stop, and they didn't have time to pay attention to whether they were injured, so they looked up, and the coffin demon's square body rubbed against the floor tiles and kept hitting the hole, and a large number of pieces also fell down and smashed on our heads.
Hou Jun turned on the flashlight, covered his head with the other hand and shouted, "Go down the stairs." After saying that, he took the lead and rushed forward.
With the shaking of the spotlight, we walked along the stairs only to find that this was a rotating stairway, there was no column on the right side, and we inadvertently looked down, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
I don't know how long I walked, and the coffin demon behind me didn't know if it was still following, probably after another section of stone steps, the temperature was getting colder and colder, and it was estimated that it was almost close to zero.
The old man was sweating, and now the temperature is cold, and the clothes on his body are like turning into an ice armor, and he shiveres when he is cold, he shiveres and huddles his arms, and says: "I'm freezing to death, Lao Li, or any of you are kind enough to lend me a piece of clothing, otherwise I will transform before I go down." ”
I looked back at him suspiciously, "Transformation? ”
The old man was angry and replied, "Become a dead fat man." ”
Hou Jun was not angry, and said: "The clothes are all brought by you, everyone is just like this, you wear them, what should you do with the rest of the people?" Besides, you're thick and burning enough, and I'm sure you'll make it out! ”
The old man had a bitter face, "Where did you get your faith?" I don't even believe in myself. ”
Everyone talked for a while, and it was considered to be a while, but no one expected this hole to be so deep, and Hou Jun also blamed himself, thinking that as long as he went down, there should be an exit to the first layer, but now it seems that the decision made before was a mistake.
All the way down, I silently counted, conservatively estimated that we have walked about forty or fifty meters, and the black tower is only six stories high, even if it is seven floors, it is only more than twenty meters, thinking of this, I can't help but be startled, this length is equivalent to the height of two black towers, so I quickly told them.
Hou Jun couldn't decide what was going on, after all, when we came up, we didn't see another corridor on each floor. The old egg shuddered and guessed, "Could it be that we have already arrived in another world?" Otherwise, how can this hole be explained? ”
"Damn, you're big enough." I couldn't help but snort, "Co-author, let's walk and walk to Huangquan Road?" ”
Hou Jun shook his head and said, "Don't guess, some thoughts are better to be extinguished, I believe we will find the exit, since we have walked such a long distance, it is impossible to go back, that coffin demon may be waiting for us at the entrance of the cave." ”
The old egg interjected: "Wait for us? I'm afraid that guy might be on top of us. ”
"Crow's beak!" I scolded.
Suddenly, I felt a vibration on the soles of my feet, like someone running heavily on the stairs, Hou Jun and the others also felt it, and suddenly they didn't dare to come out, and hurriedly shone the flashlight upwards, although it was not very clear, but there was no abnormal black shadow on the stairs above.
"What's going on?" The old man trembled and said, "Old Hou, don't point to the top, look at the bottom." What if it comes from below? ”
Hou Jun leaned out half of his body according to his words, and walked with me towards the deep cave below, and there was nothing on the spiral stairs.
Just as we retracted our upper body, the vibration on the stone steps reappeared, and the feeling was clearer, and suddenly, Hou Jun slammed down, only to see an overlapping figure running backwards from under the stone steps under our feet.
The shadow was like a blend of two people together, and in the next second, the three of us were scared, you must know that there is no Spider-Man here, who the hell can stand on the stone steps under our feet and run?
At this time, the old egg trembled, his round body trembled like a sieve, and he said with a face full of fear: "Just... The figure is like... Be... Scar and Zhao Anyi ......"
As soon as he spoke, my scalp went numb.
Scar and Zhao Anyi who ran backwards? At this moment, I feel a little unacceptable, could it be that the two of them have become ghosts after going down? Or were they some kind of scary creature disguised in the first place?
"I don't think we'd better go on, and I don't know what will happen if we go any further." The old egg was so frightened that he could barely see the blood, and even his lips were blue.
Hou Jun looked at me and waited for me to make a statement.
I gritted my teeth and said in a firm tone, "Keep going!" I don't believe that I can't walk through here, if I really go to the entrance of the cave on Huangquan Road, Lao Tzu will have to see what Lord Yama looks like in person. ”
After a little more rhetoric, we insisted on walking for a while, when something unexpected appeared, a torch placed on the wall, but it was a little strange that the torch was actually placed upside down.
"Could it be that someone else misplaced it?" The old man said.
I can't rule it out, but we've tried to confirm it. Hou Jun touched the torch, "It's a pity that it's already air-dried, and it's a bit unrealistic to want to light it." ”
Fortunately, the old egg came up with an idea in time for us to take out the lighter, smash it, pour the oil in it on it, and maybe it will be lit?
The guy finally came up with a useful idea, so he did as he said, and poured oil on the two lighters, and then lit it with the last lighter, and the torch head instantly illuminated the cave, and by the faint light of the fire, he finally felt a trace of heat.
After taking two steps, Hou Jun, who was holding a torch, suddenly stiffened, and he turned back to us with an incredible face: "I suddenly thought of a possibility, just now the old man said that he saw the figure Scar and Zhao Anyi running backwards, and once again they were sending a torch that was put upside down, so could it be that we have been walking backwards?" ”
"What?" The old egg exclaimed: "Do you know if you are Spider-Man or not?" If you have the ability, you can climb the wall with your bare hands now and show me. ”
I shook my hand to signal him not to talk nonsense, and said, "It's a little too weird to go backwards, and if that's the case, why didn't we fall." ”
Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of a question I once saw, the earth is round, why don't people at both ends fall down, and later I learned when I was older that people are attracted by the huge gravitational pull of the earth, so they don't fall down. It is said that people standing on opposite sides of the earth should stand on one side and one side should stand upside down. Due to the enormity of the earth, people on the ground feel that they are standing on the ground level.
So are the three of us upside down, or are Scar and Zhao Anyi upside down? In other words, we are now on the opposite side of the two of them.
I told Hou Jun and Lao Dan what I thought, and they frowned.
After a long time, Hou Jun spoke: "If this problem is extended any further, maybe I know why we have not reached the first floor of the Black Tower. ”
The old man came to his senses, glared at him and said, "Actually, we have been going up all the time?" ”
I was shocked beyond comprehension, this seemingly straight down hole and staircase, in fact, has been going up to the top of ignorance? If this is the case, then the handstand figure and the handstand torch I saw before will be explained.
But we solved the problem, and a new question came to our minds, which was where do we go all the way down (up)?
Perhaps, the answer has already told us, the mural that I thought of before peeping at the meaning, is this really the door to another world?
My heart is both excited and imitating, and more afraid of the unknown.
On the other side of the cave, what awaits us?
It didn't take long for the hole to appear.
From here, looking ahead, a stone staircase that seemed to lead to the sky was laid at our feet, and a strangely shaped building stood on it.
