Chapter 81: Inside the Mirror

(Update delivered, there's another chapter to come)

It's no exaggeration to say that I saw them in the mirror.

I thought I had misunderstood, frowned and rubbed my eyes and looked into the mirror again. That's right, it's indeed Hetao. My first reaction was that this large piece in front of me was not a mirror, but glass, and He Tao and they were now on the other side of this glass. But this idea was quickly dispelled. Because when I saw He Tao, the angle was looking down rather than looking directly. In other words, my current perspective is a bit like a camera installed in the corner of a supermarket, looking down at everything from above.

"They're below us?" I asked Ali by pointing to my feet. However, in the time I was stunned, Ali had already checked the surrounding tombs. I saw her shake her head: "There are no mechanisms here." As soon as I said that, I saw a strange expression on her face, as if she couldn't figure out something.

"Right, I can't figure it out - why did I see them and Tao?" I nodded, indicating that I shared her confusion.

"It's not here that I can't figure it out." "If the mausoleum is cleverly designed, it can be reflected through the reflection of light." ”

I thought about it and seemed to understand what Ali meant. If Ali's idea is correct, then there must be other mirrors around us that reflect the light of their flashlights. If this is the case, then we can find Hetao by following the tomb path where each mirror is installed. Thinking about it, I turned my neck and looked around, but I didn't notice any mirrors around. Not even a palm-sized one.

"No need to look for it," I said as I saw Ali point to the walls around her, "The light is reflected through the walls." ”

"Walls? This wall is stone, how can the stone be reflective? ”

"That's what makes the mausoleum designer unique." "As a designer, he was definitely able to change the smoothness and bumpiness of the walls to reflect the light source." ”

As soon as Ali said this, I tried to shine a flashlight on the wall. But there was no reflection.

"If it was so easy to spot, then the meaning of his design would no longer exist." Ali said lightly, and then pinned the bangs on her forehead to the back of her ear.

"Then how are we going to find Hetao?" I looked in the mirror again. He Tao and the others were sitting in an empty burial chamber at this time, and seemed to be resting. However, it can be seen from the backpacks of the rest of the people that the emptiness of this tomb must have been emptied by He Tao's men.

Ali also seemed to notice this, snorted lightly, and said with disdain in her tone: "I have just arrived in the ear chamber and have already filled the bag, so I really have no ambition." See what you will do when you get to the tomb. ”

Generally speaking, a mausoleum has two transepts, which are designed on the left and right sides of the main chamber. This is a bit like the distribution of the human ear, hence the name called the auricular chamber. Of course, this is my homework I did before, and I looked it up online.

It seems that they are very close to the burial chamber.

"One, two, three" Ali counted: "Brother, they are missing." ”

"Missing people?" I was stunned for a moment, and I counted it too. Sure enough, before entering the water, we were a total of three people. Now Ali and I are trapped in another graveyard, and only He Tao and the eleven are left. But when I counted them, there were only five people left.

"Is it possible to sit in a corner where we can't see?" I asked Ali. You must know that even the camera has a dead end, and the rest of the people are sitting in that blind spot that we can't see.

"Impossible," Ali said, "Brother Tao's men should be very disciplined. If Brother He Tao sits in a corner, then the rest of the people will only sit around him, and it is impossible to sit elsewhere. ”

"And what do you mean?"

Ali didn't answer me, and muttered to herself, "I'll just say, how can the designer of this mausoleum only have this level." ”

"What level?" I asked Ali.

Ali looked at me: "Brother, I can't tell you this yet, but you will know when you have a chance in the future." After a pause, he said, "Brother, this mausoleum is not as simple as we walked before, you follow me later, don't walk around." ”

Not as simple as we have gone before? I smiled bitterly, thinking back to the lights and shadows around me just now, and my heart said that this is all simple, so what is the difficulty? Thinking about it, I think of the movies about tomb robberies in the movies. Something accidentally stepped on something, was shot into a hedgehog by a crossbow hidden in the wall, what accidentally fell into a trap and was poked into a sieve by the spikes inside, and so on.

I was stunned when I thought of this—could it be that the people who disappeared were killed by the mechanism in the tomb?

I wiped the sweat from my forehead, glanced at He Tao in the mirror, and was about to leave, only to find that my thoughts just now and Ali's previous speculation were all wrong.

Through the mirror, I saw He Tao suddenly stand up, throwing the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, and then several people scattered around him also stood up. At first, I thought they were resting and ready to continue exploring the tomb, but what they did next made me realize that I was wrong.

I saw He Tao and the people behind him pull out the ****** tied to their legs, and then stared straight ahead.

My perspective is above and above He Tao, which means that He Tao is staring in this direction of me at this time. Are they in danger? What exactly did they see?

By this time, Ali had already walked a few steps away, and when she turned around and found that I was still standing there, she called out to me to hurry up.

I glanced at her and beckoned her to come back.

"What's wrong?"

"Look." I frowned and pointed to He Tao and them in the mirror, "They've got a situation." As I said that, I thought of those green lights and shadows, and I couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that they also met?

Ali frowned when she saw it. After looking at it for a few more seconds, he said, "It's not good, the people under Brother Tao are backwater." ”

"Anti-water? Didn't they stand behind Hetao? If you want to fight against the water, you should also stand" Before I finished this sentence, I came to my senses. Damn, they didn't die at all, or they didn't hang up as many people as we imagined. It was someone who saw the fortune and led a few people to rebel. Once you figure this out, the previous ones will follow suit.

Before and Tao, they were not resting at all, but confronting. The state of the two groups of people before they started the fight.

"What the did you find?" Even if Ali is next to me, I don't bother to care about any gentlemanly demeanor, and I scold directly with a swear word. After scolding, I turned my head to look at Ali: "Is there a way to meet with He Tao as soon as possible?" ”

Ali stared at the mirror intently and shook her head: "Brother, maybe we are wrong again." ”

"Huh?" I looked in the mirror again. Ali pointed to a spot in the mirror. When I could see clearly, I was stumbling out of the way when she was pointing.

The first thing I felt was 10,000 times more terrifying than those green lights.
