"Is it really possible for a portal to exist?" A few people started talking about it, after all, we in the industry may not be able to fully agree with this kind of thing.

"I might as well explain this matter from a scientific point of view." Lao Zhao pointed his finger at Song Jin as he spoke, and our eyes were all focused on Song Jin's body.

Song Jin was not modest, and coughed and said: "Little brother is not talented, I want to ask a question first, if we reach from one place to another, how can we determine the shortest distance?" ”

"Between two points, the line segment is the shortest, and the straight line is the closest." This answer has already been given in the geometry course of middle school, so we did not hesitate to give what we believe to be the correct answer to Song Jin's question.

"Yes, the line between two points is the shortest, but this law is also limited to one plane." Song Jin said.

We looked at each other for a moment, waiting for Song Jin to explain further.

"If the place of departure and the destination are in a three-dimensional figure, rather than a plane, then the shortest distance between two points is not a straight line along the surface, passing through the inside of the three-dimensional figure, and the shortest distance connecting the two points is the shortest."

If you think about it carefully, Song Jin's statement is indeed true, it is like punching a hole in a cube, and the distance from one end of the hole to the other end is undoubtedly the shortest through the hole itself.

"Yes, this statement can be agreed, so what does it have to do with the portal?" We asked.

"Whether it is a cube or a sphere, it is the product of folding the plane, just like our earth, the effect of this folding is almost imperceptible to us, the shortest distance from China to the United States on the other side of the earth, theoretically speaking, is the distance that has been underground through the center of the earth to the other side, of course, this method cannot be done, it will be roasted to death by the magma in the center of the earth."

As soon as Song Jin's words came out, it caused us to laugh for a while.

"Just imagine, if the earth becomes a little flattened, flat to the extreme, then we will really be foot to foot with the United States, which of course is also impossible, so let's fold a piece of paper." Song Jin said and took out a hard card and folded it in his hand.

"In this way, two points that are originally far apart are combined, and the distance to the other side is shortened to the extreme by punching a hole through the paper, and there is almost no distance." Song Jin said to us holding up the folded card.

"Space folding." Kaoru Mochizuki said with a surprised tone.

"Yes, the space has been folded so that two points that were originally far apart are overlapped, and the portal has the possibility of existence." Song Jin added.

"If the space is folded like this, why haven't we noticed it?" People still have doubts.

"It's not surprising, it's as if we look at the earth and see a flat surface, and the volume of space is not something we can easily calculate. In front of such a behemoth, we are just doing the blind man's thing to touch the elephant. ”

As soon as Song Jin's words landed, people suddenly sighed, human beings are still too small for the entire universe after all, and they are not even a drop in the ocean.

"The boy did a beautiful job, he can write a book and talk about it." The pit patted Song Jin on the shoulder and said with a smile.

However, so far, we have only deduced the existence of portals based on some theories, and their existence is exactly like this mirror, two planes attached to each other. However, the problem of how to get through this portal still haunts us.

"Do you want to try it?" The pit pointed to the bronze mirror and said.

"Rush up and crash into a picture?" I glared at the pit.

Looking back at the whole process of Sasaki's passage through the "Bronze Mirror" just now, it seems that everything was so coincidental, or maybe there was some contributing factor, which we did not discover.

To be sure, this has nothing to do with us smashing him wildly, and it has nothing to do with the kick in the pit. Sasaki crouched under the mirror at first and didn't know what he was looking at, but then it became weird, could it be that when he was crouching under the mirror, he found something, and at the same time the imp in the mirror attacked his shadow.

"I'll take a closer look." I approached Lao Zhao and whispered, and then secretly whispered a few words to Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao nodded, and I took a few steps forward and squatted under the mirror again, that is, the place where Sasaki squatted just now.

But this time I squatted here not to observe any clues under the bronze mirror, but to wait for the appearance of the ghost hand in the mirror.

As expected, after I squatted there for a few minutes, a scrawny hand wrapped around the skin from the side of the mirror sneaked out again, slowly moving over my head, getting closer and closer. When it was still thirty centimeters away and was about to touch my scalp, Lao Zhao suddenly threw the gravel that he had picked up in advance in his hand and threw it on me, which was the signal that I agreed with Lao Zhao.

After getting the signal, I quickly raised my hands and squeezed them hard, and as my posture changed outside the mirror, the shadow in the mirror also raised his hands and grabbed the ghost hand. A slippery sensation, like grabbing a piece of bacon.

The ghost hand didn't expect me to attack, and suddenly he was confused, desperately struggling backwards, and I was also struggling outside the mirror, trying to stabilize my position and pull out. Seeing my state, Kengzi and Song Jin and a few other young men also rushed up to help, dragging my waist back.

"Push forward!" Lao Zhao suddenly gave an order.

A few people seemed to understand something, and squeezed forward together, and I took the forbidden to squeeze a few young men, and in a blink of an eye they were squeezed into the mirror, and their faces were squeezed against the mirror and deformed. Despite this, I still didn't let go of the hands that grabbed the ghost hand, Lao Zhao's method worked, when my hand was attached to the mirror, the distance between the two "me" was also reduced to the limit, and the two fingers of the ghost hand also stretched out from the mirror, still struggling.

Seeing that the ghost's hand revealed the bronze mirror, Lao Zhao quickly took out a rope and put it on the ghost's hand, several people pulled it back, accompanied by a scream, and a person who was not a ghost or a ghost was pulled out of the bronze mirror and fell to the ground.

The thing fell to the ground, quickly rolled and got up, screaming and jumping around, eager to break free of the rope in his hand, before we could figure out what was in front of him, this ghost thing jumped up and pounced on Lao Zhao's face, Lao Zhao dodged away, but the rope in his hand was cut off by the claws of this thing.

The place where the ghost thing landed was where Xiao Qi was lying, and before we could react, a mouthful of sharp teeth had bitten on Xiao Qi's neck, and I looked at Xiao Qi's body and trembled.

"Shoot, shoot." With two shouts, "bang bang" several gunshots rang out, the gunshots echoed in the cave, the ghost thing had fallen to the ground in response, and a black liquid flowed out of the ground, which should be the blood of this thing. After a period of convulsions, the ghost thing did not move, and the pit stepped forward and picked up its slender claws with a dagger, and when he saw that there was no movement, he said, "It's dead." ”

When we heard this, our hanging hearts fell. Looking at Xiao Qi lying on the ground again, the blood on his neck was gurgling out, like a fountain, and it seemed that he had bitten the aorta. Air bubbles erupt from the wound, which should be characteristic of a bitten trachea. After trying it with his hand, Xiao Qi was no longer breathing.

Everyone looked at Xiao Qi's tragic situation and felt creepy, and sighed, a good young man, I don't want to give my life like this, and at the same time, we also feel once again that in the tomb robbery industry, every step is life-threatening.

Kaoru Mochizuki squatted down and closed Xiao Qi's eyes with his hand, and said calmly: "This may be a relief for him, Song Jin has already told me just now, Xiao Qi has caused a serious head injury due to his defenseless collision on the rock wall, even if he wakes up, he is a vegetative person, which will undoubtedly be a lifetime of torture and pain for him." ”

We chose a flat place in the cave and simply piled a stone grave for Xiao Qi with stones, and there was no tombstone. After a few people lit a cigarette and saluted in front of the grave, bowed, and a simple funeral ended like this. No one cried, no one shed tears, everyone's mood was extremely complicated, and I thought maybe something happened to me that day, maybe there was no such a stone grave.

After burying Xiao Qi, our attention returned to the thing that was neither human nor ghostly.

"What is this?" I counseled myself.

"Mandrill," Lao Zhao replied. "A kind of ghost in the deep mountains, fierce and abnormal, likes to attack people who enter the mountains, take people's hearts and livers, and suck people's blood. Many people who entered the mountains are gone, and most of them have been killed by this kind of thing. ”

"What about Sasaki?" I heard that mandrills take people's hearts and minds, Kaoru Mochizuki asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Sasaki's soul is not on the **, it is tantamount to the walking dead, and mandrills do not eat the dead." Lao Zhao said.

I said in my heart that this thing is quite picky, and if we encounter this thing again, we can simply play dead than anything else.

As soon as the mandrill was removed, we no longer had any scruples, I squatted under the bronze mirror, looked carefully at the place just now, and saw that on the mirror, a few words were scribbled crookedly with a hard object: stone beast eyes, positive and negative.

I read these words out of what this means, but after a little thought, I realized that the stone beast eyes mentioned here are the stone beasts on both sides of the mirror.

I stood up, walked up to the stone beast, and when I looked at it, I saw that the stone beast's eyes were moving, and I reached out and pushed the stone beast's eyeball, and the eyeball pushed upwards. As the eyeballs turned, the back of the mirror, which was originally as calm as a broken copper, actually shone slightly, and the corresponding front became smoother, and the mirror shimmered, as if the light was now flowing on water.

The shadows of each of us were reflected in the bronze mirror, and in the mirror, our eyes widened one by one, and we couldn't believe the scene in front of us.
