31. The visual trap of stillness and movement
It's so weird, cold sweat overflowed from my mask, this is not a phenomenon that normal people can accept at all, I ran back, but ran in front of Wang Lei in front, and he ran forward along the straight road, but ran behind me.
I, Xia and Wang Lei stood in a straight line, an indescribable atmosphere was pervasive, I don't believe in evil, I don't believe that there are really ghosts that can create any so-called ghosts to hit the wall.
I gritted my teeth and squeezed out the strength of my whole body, and began to run in the direction of summer, only my wheezing sound could be heard in the dark, and I ran forward with my head buried in my summer, shouting frantically in my heart, "Don't see Wang Lei, don't see the light." But it backfired, and a glimmer of light appeared in front of my eyes, which was Wang Lei's flashlight.
"What's going on? This ghost place. He said fiercely.
"I don't know, maybe it's a poor vision." I replied.
"If you can't have bad vision, do you think I'll not be able to tell the difference between a straight route and a curved route?"
"Calm down, calm down." I reassured, "So we'll make a mark on the wall, and don't use a human mark as a reference." โ
"You think I'm moving?" Wang Lei immediately heard what I meant and said angrily.
"People often do strange things back and forth without realizing it, like sleepwalking, what do you think is impossible in this hellish place?" I analyzed, "Putting aside the fact that you can't move for the time being, let's make a mark with 2 references, so that at least we can figure out whether we are in one place or in several places." โ
"Oh!" Wang Lei exhaled, "I understand, you mean that we are actually still moving around, constantly moving forward, but we have experienced many circles on the way forward." โ
"Yes, we managed to avoid a straight line and go in countless circles."
"So how do we get out of this circle?" Wang Lei seems a little silly to follow my train of thought.
"I don't know." I said, I've been through too much before, and I find that I've integrated into this place, just like Summer said, I'm a cheap bone, yes, I can only keep my nerves tight when I'm in danger, and I'll be a castration when I'm not in danger. I want to change this situation, I can't rely on Wang Lei and the fat man all the time, I have to learn to think.
No, it's not like that, I should think about it, it's just that the old man and the fat man spent too much thought in their own puzzles, but they didn't care about it, I held my brain down, "What should I do?" What to do? "By the way, I see, we're constantly spinning in circles, but if we have a way to get out of this circling atmosphere, we can get out, but one thing needs to be prevented in advance, that is, how many such visual mazes are there where we are? I told Wang Lei about my plan, and then said, "Let's use a coordinate as a point first, and then plan the distance of the coordinates within our line of sight little by little, and implement them in turn." โ
"Use a mark on the wall first, then go back, make another mark where you are almost out of sight, and so on?" Wang Lei said.
"That's right, then we can find a circle first, we have to find out how big our circle is, and then we can find another way out."
"I agree that to untie a knot, you have to start with the first one."
"Luckily, we found the first one." I sighed and was about to call Summer over, but when I turned my head, Summer was gone.
"I guess he ran away, and he doesn't have a flashlight, how far can he go." Wang Lei said.
But as soon as he said that, I immediately thought of the question, how did that guy get from the so-called basement to the haunted house we were in without a flashlight? I gasped, I'm afraid he's not human anymore, and I have to admit that I have to learn the old man's way of thinking, you can only think of the worst in mind, otherwise you don't even have the preparation for both. But I didn't tell Wang Lei about this idea, this time is not the time to suddenly increase troubles, and that's just a conjecture of mine.
Do you believe that there are ghosts in the world?
On the other side, Wang Lei quickly left a water bottle and a knife mark on the ground and the wall, and then we stepped back a little bit, hurry up, the light of the flashlight is almost impossible to see the water bottle on the ground, we immediately put another water bottle and a knife mark in this place. Then I strode back, and the distance between our adult steps was 1 meter, and I walked 5 steps, which is 5 meters. Then I ran back to where Wang Lei was, walked 5 meters forward, turned my head and sure enough, my vision had begun to blur, and Wang Lei continued to put a water bottle on the ground and make a mark on the wall.
"How?" Wang Lei asked.
"5 meters a distance." I said it truthfully, and continued walking without saying a word, and sure enough, we soon saw our first water bottle, but there was another person, and it was summer. I endured great horror and walked over to it.
"Where did the ** go?" Wang Lei scolded unexpectedly.
"I've always been here, huh?" "My feet hurt and I don't want to go, I want to take a break," Summer said. โ
"If your feet hurt, give me some peace, this place is not for you to walk out of." Wang Lei said, then turned to me and said, "5 meters and 5 marking points." That is, 25 meters, a primary school student's problem encloses a 25-meter-long rope into a circle, what is the diameter of the circle? โ
"25 is the circumference, then find the diameter is: 25รท3.14=7.96m."
"Do you know the approximate distance of this corridor in the summer, that is, how many steps it usually takes you to walk here?" As I spoke, I gritted my gums and took out a Colt M2000 from Wang Lei's backpack, "I'm going to plan for the worst." โ
"About 20 steps." Summer said after a moment of silence.
"20 steps." I dragged my chin and thought, "The worst plan is that this corridor has sunk to the ground and has become countless crooked and broken corridors, you said it in the previous summer, right, you said that this corridor is curved, I don't say how you know about the curved here, so if this is really the case, it is indeed easy to create a visual illusion for us." This corridor is 25 meters long, and no matter how we walk, we have to go through 3 such places. โ
"So don't worry about what happens anyway, you'll always get out." I said, "There is no road in the world that can never be walked out, only one after another, but if we know how many such paths you have to go through, then success is not far away." โ
"You can't walk in the summer." I asked in a low voice.
"Don't go, let's go!" His voice was a little deep, like a crow in the night.
I don't know why no one suddenly spoke, probably I didn't expect Xia to say this, but at this time, Wang Lei suddenly slapped me hard.
The sudden surprise made Xia and I stunned at the same time, looking at each other, but soon I turned my head and jumped to the side and shouted at Wang Lei, "Are you demonic again?" "The gun is in my hand, I still have some confidence in such a change, after all, this Colt M2000 is the only pistol that the fat man gets, I don't believe that if Wang Lei is also a demon at this time, what can he do to me.
"Listen." Regarding my words, Wang Lei just said two words lightly.
All of a sudden, the world was quiet, not that I didn't go back to thinking about something, but I was simply afraid. But just after I Wang Lei hit me, the left ear of my tinnitus suddenly heard a creaking sound.
"My mother-in-law said that if you encounter a ghost hitting the wall, you can just slap it." Wang Lei seemed to see the change in my expression and said to me.
"It won't be like this, there's nothing here." I said to myself, I heard, heard a rocking chair swaying. "Summer." I yelled.
"Summer didn't speak.
"There's the sound of a rocking chair." I said, then closed my eyes and made a circle on the spot, and when I opened my eyes, everything was still the same, "Fuck, I also heard that if you close your eyes and open them, you can break the ghost wall?" I said angrily.
"But there's something moving here!" Wang Lei said.
"No matter." I said, "If you don't leave in the summer, we'll go." โ
"Let's go." Summer said.
"Why don't you go?" Wang Lei suddenly roared.
"I can't go." Summer burst out laughing.
"Your feet?" Wang Lei seemed to be accustomed to the weird expression of summer, squatted down, and lifted the hem of summer's trousers.
"Si." As soon as I saw it, my scalp was numb, and I saw that the calf part of the summer was densely gnawed out with countless holes. I can't imagine walking on those legs.
Can't move? Move? Rest? Rocking chair?
Movement and stillness?
There's movement and stillness in your sight, so what about you? Are you moving or still? One of these thoughts popped into me. Suddenly he took out his gun and shot it at Summer, and the moment Summer saw me do it, she immediately turned around and ran away, and in an instant I felt that the scenery around me had changed.
This is a ruin, surrounded by scattered decorative stone carvings, the only ones that are still intact are a few corridors, some of them are facing upwards, some are negative dirt with concrete upwards, the large and small pebbles in the corridor have fallen off when the ground has subsided, and the roof above the corridor has been completely smashed below, so as said that summer, this place has been divided into several curved areas.
In the back are a few neatly arranged beverage bottles. And the thing that has been rocking is a rocking chair, but there is a person in the rocking chair, who is wearing casual clothes, holding a backpack in his hand, his wrists and ankles are tied to the chair with belts, and a face that is almost bone, and a few pieces of skin and flesh fall on the bones, crumbling.
The most terrifying thing is that this person is still moving, constantly moving, like a leisurely old man, curled up in a rocking chair in the shade of a tree, swaying to a brisk little song.
"This person is someone from the Cultural Relics Bureau who came here to investigate a few times ago." Wang Lei squatted down and picked up a sign and said to me.
I took a deep breath and thought to myself, "This summer is really trying to kill us here, and this ghost hitting the wall is a place that drains our energy." โ
"It's a criminal gang." Wang Lei said hatefully, and then snatched the gun from my hand and then turned around and left, "Catch up with him." โ
"Slow down, did you hear that voice from before? I mean that dull wail. โ
"Is it fat?"
"Maybe he's got something wrong with him right now."
"You're saying there's a second person here after the summer?"
"Or do you think?" I spread my hands, "You've been with us during the summer. โ
"No matter how many people there are, we're still going to catch up." Wang Lei thought about it and said firmly.
"No, haven't you found out yet?" I said, "His legs can't move anymore, and it's not realistic to be able to walk here." I said, and shook the chair boldly, and the dead man in the chair suddenly turned his head to look at me, startling me. And this time, the small sign in his hand fell off completely, and I picked it up curiously and saw that it was written.
"Li Kuangtao, Foreign Affairs Office of Guizhou Jianhe Cultural Relics Bureau." Then there is a line below the words: "Division of the Department of Conservation and Archaeology." โ
