The already tense atmosphere was ignited all of a sudden, and Professor Zhang took the lead in a panic and followed Gao Tong next to him, shouting incessantly, "It's broken, it's broken", and when the three of us were all used in the middle, Gao Tong was pale and stared at the disc without blinking.

Leaning over and looking down carefully, the disc that was suspected of activating the self-destruct device had obviously rotated, and the position of the bronze chain involved with it had also changed greatly, and the bronze chain had been wound several more turns on the disc than yesterday, Professor Zhang looked at Gao Tong and said: "You can't be too arbitrary to think that someone deliberately rotated, could it be that the rotation of this disc was driven by the operation of the mechanism." ”

Silently said on the side: "We all observed it carefully yesterday, and there is no correlation between the rotation of the mechanism and the transmission system of this disc, but if someone among us deliberately rotates...... "Silently glanced at everyone one by one, and shook his head, "This ...... It's unlikely, after all, no one is going to hurt themselves. Moreover, it is not entirely certain that it is a self-destructing device. ”

Gao Tong didn't speak for a long time, looked up at the rotating wheel, and his tone suddenly became solemn and low, "The wheel is pushed by the flowing water to rotate all the time, and the accumulated kinetic energy has been stored inside the machine. And if it goes on like this, such a large amount of energy will only continue to accumulate in the mechanism and cannot be released...... If you save up to a certain amount, the result will be an astonishing outbreak. ”

Gao Tong's words made me goosebumps, if it is a mechanical watch that is wound manually, the manual full of strings will no longer be able to turn, and now the whole organ is constantly winding through the huge wheel driven by the flow of water, the energy is conserved, and if it is not released by the rotation once every two hours, it will pass through another way, such as reaching the critical point, and the integrity of all the organs involved together suddenly collapses.

Mo Mo's face changed drastically, and he muttered: "The continuous accumulation of energy, which will eventually lead to the destruction of the mechanism, is the design principle of this self-destruct device...... So what should we do? ”

The big head's tone became anxious, "Wouldn't it be okay to remove or jam that wheel?" ”

Professor Zhang sighed, "There's nothing in front of you that can jam such a huge wheel. And even if we have explosives on hand, the consequences of the explosion may be even worse if we are closed here, causing the upper and lower stone chambers to collapse. Or...... Let's try to reset this disc and see. ”

Although it was still a bit risky to turn the self-destruct mechanism in reverse, everyone could not sit still, and six people stepped in, grabbed the edge of the disc and twisted it together in one direction, but the disc seemed to be tightly stuck, and no matter how hard they tried to eat, they could not turn it at all. Everyone's expressions can be seen that everyone is becoming more and more pessimistic, and now it is clear that the self-destruct device is irreversible as long as it is activated.

The wheel pushed by the flowing water is spinning non-stop, and everyone is seeing that they are falling into a deadlock of waiting for death step by step, and no one knows what earth-shattering changes will await us once the energy is accumulated enough to burst out, and now we can do nothing knowing the consequences of death, we seem to be experiencing the countdown of our lives, and every second becomes extremely tormenting. Chen Xu's hands trembled slightly, and he kept looking around suspiciously, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Could there be a seventh person hiding in this stone room, who activated the self-destruct device in the middle of the night?" ”

Chen Xu's frightened voice was very soft, but it led our attention to another direction, looking around nervously one by one, I instantly felt that my every move was kept tightly watched by a pair of eyes behind me, no matter where you turn your head to look, it will always hide in the dead corner of your sight. A bone-chilling chill on my back rushed to my brain uncontrollably, and the sudden arrival of that creepy feeling made me shiver a few times in succession.

"Let's not be nervous, let's split up." Gao Tong comforted everyone with his pretended composure, and shook his head, "We searched very carefully last night, and there should be no place to hide people here." ”

In the next hour, the six people were divided into three groups, and several carpet searches in Youda's space were still fruitful, exhausted from hunger and fear. Big Head and I went back to the middle and sat down on the ground, Big Head took out a cigarette from his body and lit it, twisted his eyebrows and took a deep breath, lowered his head for a long time and slowly raised it, squinted at the miner's lights that were still in the distance for the rest of the people, gritted his teeth and whispered to me: "There is no seventh person at all, if that disc is rotated by someone, it is one of the six of us." ”

My scalp exploded, and my temples tingled with my heartbeat. Regardless of whether the big head is a conspiracy theorist or not, according to the current situation, the reasoning of conspiracy theories is the most logical, and when all other possibilities are blocked, it is not difficult to think of this in the end, but we are just reluctant to face it in our hearts.

I remained motionless, and my mind began to speculate quickly and incoherently, who was this person?

There is no need to doubt a qiē for the time being, I will first rule out the big head and Gao Tong. Professor Zhang and Chen Xu must be the most suspicious, Li Fern's early temptation in this area is undoubtedly aimed at the hanging coffin group, and the huge forces she represents are very likely to extend their tentacles to our actions, and the last Siberian glasses Pan is a clear example. They don't have the official advantage and don't dare to blatantly descend into the cliff cave inside the hanging coffin, but it's normal to lay down a chess piece. Now the question is, which one is infernal, Professor Zhang or Chen Xu?

The other four people in the entanglement have returned in twos and twos, and I feel a little strange when I look at anyone's facial expressions now, and secretly estimate that after tossing until now, Mo Mo and Gao Tong must also be suspicious, and one of Chen Xu and Professor Zhang must have a ghost in his heart, but it is completely unreasonable to accuse any of them by guessing.

In hindsight, Datou's approach at this time was extremely decisive and resolute. He stood up without saying a word, his eyes shot a fierce light like a bandit, walked straight to Professor Zhang and Chen Xu, stretched out his hand and pressed the shoulders of the two people, "Don't move, you two don't move, I'm the master who turns his face and doesn't recognize people." Say, who's hiding what? ”
