Volume 4 Embattled Chapter 28 The Blind Man Touches the Elephant
"Then in this situation, could it be that they just want to trap us with these weird white mist, it shouldn't be possible! At least the land under their feet must be real, and even if they have the ability, it is impossible to change shape, we must still be in the land of that false village, according to previous observations, the area of the village is not very large, as long as we keep walking, we will definitely be able to get out. Taro said.
As soon as the words fell, I heard a sound of getting up, followed by the movement of footsteps, Kuroko said, "This white fog is stranger than the night, I can't see anything clearly, it is very likely to be a labyrinth-like thing, there is only one living gate, and the labyrinth created by the area where the village is located, it is estimated that it is more than enough to trap us for ten days and half a month." ”
Hearing this, I took Xiu'er's hand, stood up, and asked in a low voice, "Xiu'er, are you there?" ”
"Well, yes!"
Suddenly, I heard people striking matches one after another, and then the smoker said, "Fire doesn't seem to be useful in this place, these mist don't seem to be made of liquid, otherwise everyone would have felt damp after such a long time." ”
Datou said, "First find a way to find each other, and everyone will gather together before proceeding to the next step." Whether it's a maze or whatever, it's better for everyone to be together. ”
"Hmm!" A few responses were heard, followed by the sound of staggering and moving.
I recalled the situation when I rushed in just now, Kuroko was the first, I followed, and the rest of the people were at the tail of the hall, that is, normally, Kuroko must be in front. So I cried out, "Don't move, all of you, follow my voice, don't look at your eyes, trust your ears." In this case, the gaze will deceive you and give you the illusion. "This trick was taught to me by Kuroko." Sunspot. You should be in front of me, slow back and back! ”
After saying these words, I immediately began to sing casually, keeping a sound coming out, and for a while, I was the only one in the whole white fog. It was as if there was nothing else in the whole world, and the loneliness and loneliness hit, and I tried not to let my head think about those things. Xiu'er followed my hand, moved over little by little, hugged my waist tightly, felt the real human body temperature, and finally felt a little less jealous of this false fear.
Heavy footsteps were heard one after another, and only the sound of them was heard, but no one was seen. It's really irritating. I tried to see even a single figure, but I couldn't, so I simply closed my eyes and plunged into the darkness, where time paled in such a way that I don't know how long it took for my ears to catch the sound of feet on the ground that seemed to be close at hand.
I waited anxiously, not daring to move. Finally, a pair of large hands reached out from the front. Coincidentally, he touched my face, and the next second, Kuroko's voice sounded, "Mosquito? ”
"Hmmm! It's me, you just put your hand on me, don't move again, and wait for me to take out the rope in my bag and link the three of us together! "Finished. I immediately bent one hand behind my back and unzipped my backpack, which was filled with some essential items to enter the forest, and the long and slender rope was quickly found. The next thing became a lot easier.
I don't know how long it was, maybe an hour. It could be two hours. There was always a gray patch all around, as if time would stand still here. The other seven were looking for me as if they were blind men, one by one, and the sensation of human touch came from me one after another. Eventually, the ten of them came together, and with the feeling of their hands, a long rope connected everyone and turned into a grasshopper on a rope.
"Okay, what's next?" The fat man asked, feeling the rope in his hand.
Honestly, what's next? It's nothing more than walking, walking, hoping to find an exit. The fat man's inquiry was just hoping for a more effective solution, but I couldn't give an answer.
Led by Kuroko, a group of people closed their eyes aimlessly, as if they were moving forward, as if they were going in circles, and as if they were walking back, the whole process lasted for a long, long time, until everyone was tired, thirsty, and tired, and they all shouted to stop and rest before leaving.
I heard the fat man gasping for air, but he was still trying to speak. "Kuroko, I'm afraid that I was unfortunately hit by you, it's really a labyrinth, if you keep walking like this, you don't know when you have to go, and everyone's food is limited, but there is no way to consume it."
Kuroko also ran out of ideas when he encountered this situation, and he didn't know how to answer.
The monkey asked weakly, "We entered here at dawn in the morning, and you say, will it be evening now?" ”
The fat man immediately replied, "Monkey, why do you care if it's night or not!" ”
"What if at night, those dark shadows come out again. Then everyone will have to wait for death! The monkey's next sentence immediately shocked everyone to their senses. We only think that we have passed the first level, and this is the second level, but if the second level is just a maze ghost fog, it may not be so difficult. Normally, the game becomes more difficult with each passing level, and for the current situation, the first level almost killed everyone, imagine that in the second level, they will use the stupid method of starving us to death?
"Holy! Forget about this stubble! Can anyone think of a way to look at the time, in case those dark shadows come out, it will be troublesome! The fat man exclaimed.
I habitually raised my wrist before I realized that my eyes could not see, but then I remembered the method that I don't know who taught me before, saying that blind people use watches to determine the time, you must know that blind people do not have glass lenses, just touch the dial with your fingers, feel where the hour and minute hands are on the dial, and you can know the time. It's not absolutely accurate, but at least it's not too different.
Thinking about it, I quickly untied the strap, took off the watch, and smashed it to the ground with moderate force, and the sound of the glass lens shattering sounded, and I cautiously stretched out my finger to feel it. Since I had never used a similar method before, it seemed rather rusty to operate, but after a moment's delay, I could barely judge the time in my head.
But, is it correct? Before you know it, it's past one o'clock in the afternoon?
The fat man's urging voice sounded, "Mosquito, how's it going, do you know what time it is?" ”
I hesitated for a moment before I said with difficulty, "Not so sure, but it seems to be past one o'clock in the afternoon." ”
"Those dark shadows appeared at seven o'clock last night, and there are still six hours!" The fat man read. (To be continued......)
