Chapter 29 Invisible Wings?
As we descended, we all looked curiously at the wings on each other's backs. At first, everyone thought it was fresh, but after a while, we felt more and more that something was wrong.
"Fatty, I still think there's something wrong with the way we look now." I frowned, and said in my heart, what kind of reason can we make a few big living people grow wings?
The fat man also muttered, reaching out and touching the feathers on his wings. "That's right, it's a feather." As he spoke, he plucked one out and put it in front of his eyes, and handed it to me.
I looked at the feather, and the black feather was so ordinary, except that it was slightly larger, and I couldn't even tell what kind of bird it looked like. On top of that, I don't even feel anything strange on my back now, as if the wings didn't exist at all. But it clearly sprouted from the sides of our backs, and it just avoided the equipment on our backs. It's not that we're doing something wrong with our bodies, it's that the wings fit seamlessly into where we are now.
You say that the man who stumbled off the cliff didn't want to grow a pair of wings. But everyone knew that it was impossible, and now it has hit us. It's still automatic, so you don't have to worry about the control at all.
This, this mother's perfection is like a dream.
"Dream dream, dream!" A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I immediately looked at the fat man and said to Brother Jiu: "By the way, are we in a dream now?" ”
Brother Jiu was stunned, and the fat man immediately refuted me. "Impossible, is it a dream, fat man, I don't know what to do? Especially every time Lao Tzu found out that he was among the five million, he could immediately react that he was dreaming, and then spread his legs and ran to heaven and earth, but every time he just entered, he woke up. Lao Tzu has much more experience in this kind of thing. ”
The fat man is very confident. "I've thought about that, too. But I'd rather believe that the three of us were hallucinating. ”
"Hallucinations?" Brother Jiu muttered, "But this is too true, I slapped myself several times just now, it really hurts." ”
"Alas, it's only useful to slap you in a dream, it's an illusion, it's useless for you to bite your tongue off. Tsk, it's a lot of work to communicate with you. The fat man pouted, "We don't care what it is now, let's go down for a few minutes." If the three of us are hallucinating, there will definitely be signs around here. ”
We can't say anything else, so we can only let ourselves fall.
In fact, there is not much difference between hallucinations and dreams for us now, and the key is not the pair of wings on our backs. It mainly depends on the current thinking of the three of us, that is, whether there is a problem with the brain. I felt it carefully. I feel like my thoughts are not hindering me right now. Although people generally do not feel that they are dreaming in dreams. But in fact, there was a certain delay in the operation of the brain at that time, and the mind could only follow the memories in the brain back and forth.
And I don't think there's anything wrong with it now, but I still think that this thing with wings can't really happen to the three of us. Even a genetic mutation is not possible.
Thinking about it, an idea popped into my head.
"Eh, fatty. I have an idea, maybe I can tell us what's going on. ”
"Say it quickly." The fat man seemed to be thinking hard about the wings, and immediately urged me.
"We can assume that the wings are real, you see. It punctured all the down jackets on our backs, and while we didn't feel anything, it must have been on our backs, right? ”
The fat man and the ninth brother both nodded.
I went on to say, "We're falling down now, but we're actually just as steady as we're on flat ground, so can we take off our clothes and see what's going on on our backs?" ”
The fat man and the ninth brother are both eye-catching.
"Ouch, okay, Young Master Yuan, you have a good idea. Why didn't we think of that just now? Brother Jiu said.
Actually, it's not my brain, it's like a scratch on my back, and under normal circumstances, I must take off my clothes to see. But because the wings were so surprising, we didn't react for a while. And people are still falling, let alone this one.
After summing it up, the fat man said, "It's a good idea, but when we take off our clothes, we must touch those wings, what if these wings are twisted and we fall down immediately?" ”
I said the same in my heart, but the ninth brother said, "Eh, doesn't that prove that these wings are real?" I think it's necessary to give it a try. ”
"That's right." I then looked at him, "Brother Jiu, you are the most capable of the three of us, and I think you have to come to this matter." ”
As soon as I spoke, Brother Jiu was immediately intimidated. "Uh, this, hehe, I, where do I have Brother Cao Lisuo. Let's come on, Brother Cao. ”
"Are you coming?" I turned to the fat man.
When the fat man heard this, he immediately became angry, "It's so cheap, your fat man is here for everything, your fat man is also raised by your father's mother, you two have no conscience." But the fat man's tone changed again, "But if you want me to come, you two have to drag me by the neck, and if something happens later, I won't fall down immediately." ”
Hey, I think the fat man is quite refreshing this time, and I can't help but think that this grandson has some ghost idea? After pondering it carefully, I realized that this dead fat man wished that the pair of wings were real. If he can go out with these wings today, I don't know what kind of plane this fat man is going to make.
But there is no need to discuss these now, Brother Jiu and I grabbed his head from both sides as the fat man said. Then the fat man began to undress. As soon as he pulled the rope in front of him, he first untied the equipment on his back and handed it to the ninth brother, and then began to undress.
The fat man's action, Brother Jiu and I immediately saw the problem.
With two wings on his back, it must be a very difficult time to take off his clothes. But the fat man didn't make much effort at all, as if he didn't have anything on his back, and took off his coat with a flick of his arm. I saw almost nothing, except that the fat man's coat seemed to penetrate the wings.
And the fat man didn't lose his balance and fall down as we thought. At this moment, the brains of the three of us seemed to have suddenly come out of the fog, and we all looked at each other in a daze.
I thought my thinking was fine. But now I feel that I was completely in a mess just now, and many problems have been ignored by myself.
"Eh, I mean, did you feel like you were asleep just now?" The fat man looked at us.
I nodded to Brother Jiu, and Brother Jiu then said: "I~ Fuck, we've been falling down for more than ten minutes, even if we fall from the top of Qiaogori Peak, we should fall into the sea." ”
The three of them woke up almost instantly.
That's right, time, that's the biggest hole in front of our eyes. Suddenly. The problem of the wings was solved, because we all realized that neither the wings nor the fall of the body were anything that really happened.
But in this way, the problem is back to square one. Are we dreaming or hallucinating?
If it's a dream, then. I. Is it in your own dream or in the dream of the fat man or the ninth brother? But on second thought, if it was a dream, none of the three of us were real.
And if it's an illusion, the fat man and the ninth brother in front of me must be illusory, and my brain is starting to hurt again, faintly. I found that Brother Jiu's eyes began to appear in the eyes of me and the fat man. It seems that he is also doubting the authenticity of me and the fat man.
At this time, the fat man said while getting dressed: "Sensei thinks so much, it doesn't matter if it's a hallucination or a dream." The question is how can we get out of where we are. I propose that one of us slap the other in the face. ”
"I've already tried." Brother Jiu said.
"That's you, if your brain has been controlled, even if you want to exert yourself, the worst result may be to pat yourself gently, and your hand doesn't even touch your face."
"That" I was just about to open my mouth, and the fat man "snapped" and slapped me in the face, and I felt the world spinning and my eyes turned black.
After I came to my senses, my first instinct was to go up and pinch the fat man's neck. The fat man grabbed me.
"Don't be angry,, it's your turn now, come on." As he spoke, the fat man put his big fat face in front of me.
I was so angry that I stretched out my hand, whether it was a fist or a slap, and went up in the face of the fat man. The dead fat man said very well and asked me to fight, but when I shook my hand, he dodged it again.
"Your turtle son's son has no asshole"
At this time, I scolded all the ugly words, and the fat man smiled, "I thought about it just now, since the slap didn't wake you up, there is no point in beating again." Then he said seriously, "Don't make trouble, we have to think of another way." ”
Give him such a play, where can I say anything, damn it, blood is coming out of the corners of my mouth.
Wiping the blood from my mouth, I jumped up and kicked at the fat man. But when my feet were raised, I suddenly saw that there was nothing on the backs of the fat man and the ninth brother.
And just now I felt like I had kicked under my feet to the ground, and I didn't feel like I was hanging in the air before.
The fat man and Brother Jiu were also frightened by my independent movements of the golden rooster, thinking that something was wrong with me. The two of them were just about to come up, and the fat man suddenly said "eh".
Under the illumination of the miner's lamp in Brother Jiu's hand, the three of us immediately found that we were standing on a very narrow stone road.
"W-what's going on?" Brother Jiu looked around in fear.
I also lowered my feet and looked again and again. "What is this place?"
The fat man was the first to react, then he pulled out his firing gun and fired a flare into the air.
The flames were soaring into the sky, and the surrounding scene was clearly clear, and when they looked around, the three of them were all frightened.
Above us was a huge circular black hole, just like what we saw in the corridor. And where we stand is a high platform the same size as a black hole.
It's not like the Temple of Heaven, it's a swastika, and we're standing in the center of the swastika. Inside the four sides of the swastika platform, there are many slightly lower round stone pillars, and between the shadows, I see that they seem to be some human figures.
However, the question that traps us now is, what happened to us just now? Isn't it falling all the time?
It wasn't until the flares were completely gone that we came back to our senses from the sight of the fight. After gasping. The ninth brother said: "This is too mysterious, my mother can't tell what's true and what's fake now." ”
I couldn't help but nod in my heart in agreement with Brother Jiu's feelings, and after looking around again, I felt that the current scene should be real.
"Looks like it was our hallucination." The fat man said.
"But this hallucination is too strange, isn't it?" The things we've encountered before have been coherent, and I can't find any flaws.
If you want to try it, you can only ask the fat man if he is willing to jump off it?
The fat man took out his last spare flashlight and began to walk back and forth in the four directions. I've been with him for a long time, and I probably know that the fat man hasn't thought about the things in front of him now. It's looking for a way down.
What a pragmatic guy, but it's really more reassuring to walk with someone like him.
However, judging by the flare just now. This swastika platform doesn't seem to have a way down. There are four sides two meters wide back and forth, and the nearest round stone statue is also four or five meters away from us and a drop of ten meters.
And me. I'm still thinking about what happened just now. I don't have any clue though. But I always feel that if we don't solve that matter, it will become a big problem for us.
In retrospect, this was one of the few judgments I had correct.
When the fat man and Brother Jiu were spinning around looking for a way out, the flashlight I had just turned on was shining on the backs of the two of them, and I immediately frowned at a casual glance.
"Fatty. Don't move. I shouted.
The fat man was startled, thinking that he had something on his back, and immediately froze. I hurriedly walked over and beckoned Brother Jiu to come over as well.
On the back of the down jacket of the fat man and the ninth brother. There are two clear cracks. If I'm not mistaken, that's exactly where our wings came out.
"What the hell is going on? Come on, Lao Tzu is suffocating. The fat man urged.
Brother Jiu and I didn't answer him, just put down the things in our hands, and then dragged the down jacket outside. The fat man looked back and quickly understood what we were doing.
From the jacket to the vest, the rip is exactly the same.
In an instant, the conclusions we had just made became less reliable.
If the situation of the three people growing wings just now is an illusion, then how can these cracks opened by the wings be explained?
Silent, we endured the cold around us, and stripped ourselves naked. We couldn't find any traces of the tears in the clothes.
The tear in the garment was like a ghostly afterimage, and we were all speechless. Could it be that the three of us have really grown wings just now? I didn't think it before, but now that I think about it, I can't help but be scared for a while.
"Looks like we can't explain what happened." Brother Jiu shook his head, "Eh, but whether it's true or not, why do we suddenly seem to be normal again?" ”
The fat man looked back and forth, and suddenly said to me, "Is it related to your boy's blood?" ”
"Blood? What" I suddenly remembered that I had just slapped the fat man and my mouth was bleeding. When I looked at my hands, the blood was still there.
"What are you talking about?" Brother Jiu asked.
I looked at the fat man for a moment, and no one spoke anymore. I said in my heart that if this matter can be related to my blood, then I am afraid that I will fall into the abyss of doubt again.
Now those things are about to become red lines that I dare not touch, so simply, don't think about anything, get dressed, and find a way down with the fat man.
Brother Jiu saw that we didn't want to say, so he didn't ask any more. The three of them finally settled down and carefully looked around.
In fact, we also have a long enough rope, and the fat man estimated that the high platform is more than 20 meters at most. As long as you can fix the rope, there is absolutely no problem going down.
However, on this swastika platform, we can't find anything that can fix the rope, it is very flat, and we don't know why those people built such a thing in the first place.
However, difficulties cannot stop the vast number of heroic underground workers. After a fruitless walk on the high platform, the fat man quickly came up with a brilliant idea.
The rope in our backpack was replaced from Boss Sun, it is very thin, but the weight capacity can reach one ton. One in all three people's bags. The fat man's idea was that he first dragged the rope on it and put me and Brother Jiu down to the bottom, and then, Brother Jiu and I grabbed the other end of the rope and made a fixed point for the fat man, so that the fat man could go down the other side of the platform along the rope. After that, we just need to walk against the wall, and the three of us can meet again.
This idea seems to be the only way we have it right now. So without further ado, the three of them immediately took action.
After getting ready, the fat man and the ninth brother grabbed one end of the rope and asked me to go down first. Thinking that I didn't have these abilities in the first place, as soon as things were forced, I had to do it if I couldn't do it. Because I already had experience in the corridor, I didn't have much effort this time, but I just slipped on the half-section and hit the high platform with my knee, but I finally landed smoothly without danger.
It didn't take long for Brother Jiu to come down. The fat man shouted from above and asked us how we were doing, and after winning, Brother Jiu and I wrapped the rope around our bodies and prepared to go down the other side of the fat man.
"Alright! Fatty, you special mother take it easy, don't wait for you to go down and get the two of us up again! I shouted at the top. Originally, it was a joke, but after saying that, thinking about the fat man's body, Brother Jiu and I are really not sure.
After the fat man said hello, he began to slide down little by little. Brother Jiu and I immediately felt a huge force lifting us up. Fortunately, everyone was prepared, and although the rope was uncomfortable for me, my feet were still firmly on the ground.
According to the speed at which we come down, it is estimated that the fat man will take about ten minutes at most. Counting the time, I think the fat man is almost there. But just as I was thinking about how to count the fat man later, all of a sudden, the whole rope tightened. The amount of force that dragged me and Brother Jiu almost doubled.
"Oh no, something must have happened to Brother Cao." Brother Jiu said.
"Leave this alone, hold on to the rope hard, but don't let the fat man fall." I gritted my teeth and said, my feet already touching the ground and starting to slide forward. (To be continued......)
