33. The third possibility
"There are words here......" Gao Tong's voice trembled, he was excited or surprised for a while, but he immediately attracted the attention of several of us, and I was in a trance. Prehistoric cave wall inscriptions?
Several lamps were lit, shining brightly on a recess in the stone wall on the side, Gao Tong groped with his hand, and his voice was confused, "This...... How can it be a simplified Chinese character? Or the ...... carved into the stone wall"
I rubbed my eyes, the heads of the four people gathered together and stared at the inconspicuous corner, it was indeed the current version of simplified Chinese characters, and it was as formal and regular as the printed lead characters in the book, I don't know if it was too long or other reasons, it had been mottled and blurred, black and the color of the rock was mixed together, and there were concave and convex traces when touched by hand, and it was not close to look closely, and it was impossible to see it at all, Gao Tong was obviously confused, "Well, judging from the oxidation process dΓΉ, this should be the ...... carved at least thousands of years ago" Then he immediately reacted, staring at the handwriting with his eyes distracted, "That's right...... What's going on? β
"Let's see what's carved first." I saw that Gao Tong was so confused that he couldn't grasp the point, so he reminded me gently.
Gao Tong's "oh" promise eased his senses, and the big head was already frowning and slowly read out the words, "Thirty meters back, wait for the rescue in ten hours......"
I first pinched my thigh to make sure it wasn't a dream, took a deep breath to adjust my completely confused mind, and then lowered my head and slowly brought my eyes closer to the front, although the handwriting was blurry but legible, a total of sixteen words, not counting others, just I confirmed it five or six times from beginning to end, and when I straightened up dizzily, my brain was already blank.
All were blindfolded. This is not the unique space where many things that violate basic common sense can be pushed away, and in the world as we know it, everything must conform to normal logic, even if it is ghostly and desolate. Not to mention whether the engraved simplified Chinese characters are relics left thousands of years ago, in this natural cave without head and tail that no human beings have ever set foot in, it is already inexplicable for them to appear alone, not to mention that this line of words is obviously aimed at the four of us in tone, could it be that which way of the gods is guiding us out of trouble? What will happen ten hours from thirty meters away?
Gao Tong's lips moved, but his eyes were extremely confused, and he couldn't say a word. After half a minute, the big head looked at Gao Tong and asked, "What should we do?" β
"First...... According to what is said above, it is a dead end, and I can't see any malice in this......" Gao Tong's tone was full of hesitation and ambiguity, unreasonable, but it is indeed the only choice now, taking our situation as an example, even if we don't believe the engraved words at all, but sitting here and waiting for death is not far from waiting for death, it seems that there is no difference and unnecessary cost.
There is no tool to measure the distance, only about 30 meters out of the estimate, a short section of the road tired a few of us out of breath, although the body lì overdrawn severely, everyone is still confused and uneasy to check the surroundings carefully, really didn't find anything strange, sat on the ground, Gao Tong and the big head were silent, silently bit their lip and fell into contemplation, I secretly glanced at a few times in exchange for no reaction, and did not dare to disturb her again, a little lost in my heart, as long as there is a glimmer of hope for survival, She'll dry me aside.
Looking around again, there was no difference between the place in front of us and the random little stretch of the road we had walked. I calmed down, and the first guess that popped up in my mind was that it was another act of "prophets", and only they could predict that we were trapped by immortality, but it was really strange that the ancient prophets were not Da Luo Jinxian after all, they could not be proficient in the use of simplified Chinese characters, and the modern units of distance and time measurement such as "meter" and "hour" were definitely not within the scope of their knowledge, not to mention that the prophets would not have mercy on our situation at all.
I'm still sorting out my messy thoughts, and the big head and Gao Tong on the side have been talking softly, on the surface, the first reaction is related to the prophet, but the loopholes are too big, the deeper you think about it, the more difficult it is, the two of them talk about it, but completely deny the handwriting of the ancient prophets from the side.
"The ancient prophet is the first possibility......" Despite the thoughtful expression on his face, Mo Mo finally spoke, and the three pairs of eyes stared at her in unison, and silently continued: "Regardless of whether the subsequent reasoning can be justified or not, let's list it first." β
Everyone nodded quickly. Silently muttered for a while, "The second possibility may be related to the space of prehistoric civilization, in that space, time and our reality are not equal, and the conversion of time can be realized, which is similar to the appearance of Professor Zhang's body in a boat-shaped coffin tens of thousands of years ago. β
The silent train of thought is not easy to understand, but to put it bluntly, someone has completed a crossing through the characteristics of the prehistoric civilization space without the concept of normal time, as for who he is, and where he went after crossing and carving that paragraph, this is not what we should care about.
Although I can't fully understand the "second possibility" silently, the coherence gradually begins to become clear and clear, and this statement can certainly explain that in the belly of the mountain, which has not been reached by human beings at all, simplified Chinese characters thousands of years ago appeared on the stone wall, but the loopholes are also very large, and the purpose and origin of these handwriting cannot be analyzed at all, especially under the premise that we don't know what will happen in ten hours, if we really wait for any changes and we achieve the predicament, it is simply a logical chain that cannot be continued before and after.
I just wanted to say my doubts, and silently let out a sigh, "There is a third possibility......
"Boom" a loud sound like a thunderstorm in the ears came from all directions, and then a violent vibration overturned all four of us to the ground, and the small pieces of gravel above our heads fell like raindrops, smashing on the body painfully, and countless dust and smoke were instantly filled in the air, choking people who couldn't open their mouths if they wanted to cough.
I don't know what happened, but it seemed that the end of the world was coming in the narrow cave, and I lay on the ground, unconsciously slumped up, buried my head deep in the small space curled up between my chest and legs, barely able to breathe, and the pain in my body was completely unconcerned.
