Wei Xiao and Xiao were suddenly stunned, and then they heard Zha Muque turn his head to look at Wei Xiao and continue: "If my guess is correct, when you were chased by man-eating ants to the end of this valley, you suddenly fainted, in fact, it didn't take long for you to wake up." ”

Wei Xiao's face changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "What are you talking about!" ”

"Don't be nervous, I know you were conscious, but because of the physical exertion and the sudden death of your teammates, your sanity is not very clear." Zha Muque's eyes stared at Wei Xiao for a moment, for fear of missing any subtle expressions on his face, "So when I took you from your captain's hands, I found that your body was shaking all the time, you should have been very scared, because Captain Ma was carried down by the ant colony in order to save you, and you yourself became a burden." ”

Wei Xiao's face turned green, he took a few deep breaths, and then said: "I have regretted it, if I had been more sober and worked harder, I could have climbed by myself, then I would not have been involved with the captain I am afraid that you will blame, so I have been pretending not to know anything"

Zha Muque said again: "Moreover, because your teammates and Captain Ma had an accident at that time, you had an idea at that time: You are the only one left, will our side leave you alone in order to save supplies." ”

Wei Xiao gasped, and after half a sound, he nodded and said, "You guessed accurately." Yes, I did, but the thought just flashed through my head, and I didn't pay much attention to it."

Zha Muque smiled: "A flash is enough." Then he turned to Xiao Dalip and said, "And your most direct touch to death should be the time when you were carried into the anthill by the man-eating ants." ”

Xiao's big lips were heavy, and he nodded: "Yes, I was so scared that I was about to pee my pants, thinking I was going to die!" ”

The dwarf looked left and right, and hurriedly asked, "And then?" Just because the two of them died in close contact, so they hallucinated? And this illusion can actually hurt them? He said and glanced at Wei Xiao schematically, meaning that he was talking about the inexplicable bruises on his stomach and back.

"I think this is the relationship between the cave in this rock wall and the giant Buddha trapped in it. There may be some mysterious force in them that is unpredictable to you, that magnifies or concretizes the fear in your heart, that allows you to see illusions or contrived people or things, that may be hidden in your heart, and that, if left unchecked, will cause a substantial attack on your mind and body, and even lead to death, which is why you are hurt. Zha Muque's said lightly.

The three of them thought for a while, and they all felt quite reasonable, and they couldn't help but feel a chill on their bodies, Xiao said urgently: "Then I can see what's going on on the Buddha's hand?" Also because of this power? ”

Zha Muque nodded: "It should be, although I don't know what this power is, but it will indeed let you see." And this kind of 'seeing' is not really seeing, it just makes your imagination and reality perfectly connected, but the reality is not too bad, so you continue to develop it according to the worst aspect, but some of the unrealistic pictures tell you that this is not reality, such as the various reactions of Professor Xue and Li Zimu. ”

After listening to this, Xiao exhaled and said, "So, according to your speculation, it's really hard to say whether this Buddha's hand is under the base camp or not?" ”

Zha Muque nodded: "There is no basis at all, and Wei Xiao, like us, can't see the picture on the Buddha's hand, can you 'see', it should be that you yourself feel extremely uneasy about the surroundings, because if you insist on chasing here, not only Professor Xue, but even others can't accept you?" ”

Xiao swallowed his big lips, turned his head to look at the dwarf with some embarrassment, and the dwarf spread his hands helplessly: "Look at what I'm doing, I didn't deliberately exclude you, it has nothing to do with me whether you come or not." Even if we fight, it doesn't mean anything, it's just an impulse! After speaking, he turned his head and asked Cha Muque: "However, whether there is such a power is completely your own speculation, you see that the two of them look like they are evil." ”

The dwarf said, gesturing to his eyes.

"No, I can feel it, this power has always made me uncomfortable, I thought it was a person or something, but now I can be pretty sure that my speculation should be fifty percent likely." Zha Muque's said lightly.

"Then, according to you, what will I see if I continue to walk in the tunnel I saw earlier, according to the worst scenario?" Wei Xiao asked.

"Man-eating ants." Zha Muque looked at him and said, "Actually, you have already determined that there are man-eating ants on the rock wall at first, but I denied it, so the black you see on the rock wall has become an asphalt vein, but if Zhao Lian didn't stop you at that time, if you continue to go inside, you will encounter man-eating ants on the other side of the passage, and death is only a matter of moments." ”

Wei Xiao hurriedly took a breath of cool air, remembering the scene just now, and suddenly shuddered.

Xiao nodded with big lips: "Little bird, I can almost agree with your speculation, but there is still a little bit that doesn't make sense, after entering this valley, in fact, not only the two of us almost died, didn't the old horse also be sent under that gap, could it be that he didn't feel the fear of death?" ”

The dwarf also nodded hurriedly: "Yes, isn't that guide Batur almost dead with injuries all over his body?" ”

Zha Muque said lightly: "This can only say that those two people have basically seen through death, so this kind of power can't easily affect them, and I'm sure Captain Ma was already determined to die in order to save you at that time, so he should have nothing to fear." ”

Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The four of them fell silent in an instant, from having no clue at the beginning, to now deducing a more reliable result from the hypothesis: the power of death, through people's fear of death, can concretize any impulsive thoughts or fears hidden in people's hearts, and have an impact on themselves.

If there really is such a mysterious power, all four of them realize what kind of horror will happen next.

Xiao swallowed his lips and said: "Then what will happen next, we are already trapped here, if the rescue does not come within two days, the supplies are exhausted, and we are forced into a desperate situation, won't everyone be controlled by this force?" ”

"Needless to say," said Cha Muque, "at that time you may suffer from the slightest strange or hostile look from others. ”
