Chapter 32: The Culprit
What is this guy talking about? Everyone didn't react for a while, what became a butterfly and became me, can I still be a butterfly?
Only Dark, who cooperated tacitly, understood the meaning of Shuer's story for the first time, his face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "You mean, it's our ......"
"Oh, you guessed it, Duck. We have always felt that the caravan is missing, Ma Lian and they are also missing, they are swallowed up by the ghost space right next to us, but what if the real missing person is us? What if the person who is trapped in the ghost space and cannot get out is ourselves?"
Shuer's words were actually very slow, but maybe they were too beyond the cognition of the parasites, making it difficult for them to accept, but the warlords were different, their experience was extensive enough, and their knowledge was rich enough, so Shule explained a little, whether it was the mercenaries on the two sides or the clergy on the Shuer side, they quickly understood his thoughts.
Because I understood, I was taken aback.
Are we the victims trapped in the ghost space? Now here, in fact, the ghost space? We are inside the ghost space, one of the three mysterious killers?
"Oh, I'm shocked, right, I'm even more surprised than you when I think that for the first time. ”
"Think about it, in the empty wilderness, our group of people just disappeared silently, leaving not even a single message left, only the lonely carriage and the empty camp, which remained in Pavatiga. Just like what happened to the passengers on that ghost ship, no one knows where we have gone, and no one knows what we have encountered. ”
"Wait, that's not right. Duck finally came to his senses and asked puzzledly, "There is no shortage of things in our convoy, and there is nothing missing in the goods they are carrying, even this missing caravan...... Well, even the place where we are standing is left behind by the caravan, you can't deny it. ”
"That's right. ”
"Then the problem comes, I remember you said before that the ghost space manifests itself as all inanimate objects that are not in physical contact will remain in Parvatiga, and only the things you carry with you will be sucked into the ghost space along with the living body. Duck pointed to his surroundings, "Theoretically, if we were sucked into the ghost space, there should be no salute, just walk in the wilderness, there shouldn't be a carriage, we shouldn't see the parasite's camp, we shouldn't see the current camp, these are lifeless, how did they get in?"
"You've made a mistake, Dark. The first half was right, those things would stay in Pavatiga, but the second half I never said that. Shure shook his head, "Why shouldn't you see this?" Hehe, remember the first known survivor of the ghost space, what was the most fearful in the second half of his life? ”
"Mirror?" Darker clutched the rose in his hand, his voice full of surprise, "These, all, all, all mirrors?"
"Isn't it possible? Hehe, let's assume the principle of ghost space, although it's a complete guess. Shure asked rhetorically, "If the formation principle of the ghost space is induced for some reason, a mirror space is formed based on a part of the world of Pavatiga, and every grass and tree in the mirror space is exactly the same as the original blueprint, including the man-made objects in this area at that point in time, such as carriages, such as camps, this process should be familiar to you and me." ”
"Well, it's similar to the initial formation process of the Atlas Projection. ”
"Yes, but then it's different, after the formation of this mirror space, what about the life in the range?"
"All assigned to mirror space?"
"Maybe it's all divided, maybe it's only a part, this is unknown. But one thing is for sure, when it comes to the ghost space, the victim is also ignorant and has no idea what happened to him. ”
"Just like the example you gave last night, most of those survivors only knew that they had entered the ghost space through other people's narratives after they came out?"
"That's it, in their eyes, most of the things around them are normal, so much so that they can't even realize that they have fallen into a dangerous situation. Pointing at Dark, Shul said leisurely, "Tsk, I haven't even noticed that you're such a vigilant guy, let alone some ordinary people." ”
"So, the victims just continue to roam in the ghost space, and what will happen to them?"
"How could I possibly know, it's easy to know, if my previous guess was correct, it was indeed that we were sucked into the ghost space, you leave right now, how far you run, maybe you will find out what they have encountered. ”
"Get out. Duck made a rude gesture and said angrily, "Maybe you're right, but it's all speculation, why are you so sure of your guess that you even gathered everyone here?"
"I'm not sure we're missing, but I can be sure that we're in this area, it's definitely not normal. ”
"Because...... The pyree?" said Dark, squeezing at the still slightly smoking pyre.
"It's just for me to verify, and the first thing I determined was that the environment was abnormal, and it was the traces of the doorway. ”
"I remember, when you entered the door, you suddenly looked scared, like you had seen a ghost. It's decided, go and talk to the beautiful Lin Jing about it in the future, she must like to listen to it very much, haha, Xiu'er will also be afraid. ”
Shuer didn't explain, he naturally wouldn't show fear because of this level of change, the problem was that he wasn't the only one who fell into the ghost space, and some of the heat involved made him have to be afraid. Of course, he didn't want to explain his mental activity, so he ......
"When", Duck blocked the blow of the mace, "Damn, you bastard actually sneaked up, what about the dignity of a man?"
"Crescent, if you go and look at the mark at the door now, you'll know what I mean. Completely ignoring Dark's protests, just as the person who tried to silence him just now was not himself, Shul said solemnly, "The marks carved in the wood will definitely change over time." However, more than a day has passed, and the marks on the wood are still no different from those newly engraved. ”
The Crescent Moon Knight was stunned for a moment, and hurried back to the camp gate, and after a short time, he returned with a strange face and nodded with a bitter face.
"After discovering this problem, combined with the story I remembered last night, I began to completely doubt the world, and the abnormal burning fire just made my idea tested. ”
"Why is this happening?" Duck asked.
"How do I know, it's enough to know that it's not normal. Shure rolled his eyes and said, "The Lord has taught us not to be overly obsessed with the truth of everything, for mortal wisdom is limited, and it is wisest to use limited wisdom for what is needed." ”
"Did your Darkmoon Goddess really say that?" Duck said with squinted eyes of disdain, "Look back, the four behind you already have expressions of wanting to hit someone." ”
"No way," Lisa nodded with a grin, indicating that I was right. You don't have to look back to know what's going on behind the scenes, Shul said calmly, "Others, it's possible." ”
"Sure enough, it's nonsense again. Duck shook his fist, but he also knew that Shul was right, well, how could he possibly know why.
"I can only guess that maybe the time rules of the two spaces are different, well, in layman's terms, that is, the time flow rate is different, and the one here is faster. And whether it's the stake at the door, or the fuel in the pyre, they are all replicated things, and in different time flow rates, they are more affected by the rules of the real world, so they appear to be closer to the real world, as you just said, as if time has been stretched. ”
The explanation given by Shuer is very casual, but no one can refute it, after all, the mysterious phenomenon of ghost space, everyone's understanding is almost zero.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in these things, so I'll leave it to the scholars to study when the time comes. As for when we were brought closer to the ghost space, and why Ma Lian and the others disappeared, there is still time to discuss after these things. Duck waved his hand, "Right now, solving the problem is the most important thing." Assuming that what you said is true, depending on your attitude, it is obvious that you have found a solution, then show it, and it will be clear whether your guess is correct or not. ”
"Of course, of course. Shur jumped off the table, led more than twenty people, and slowly walked towards the three large tents where the banquet had been held.
"Don't you think it's strange? If we are trapped in the ghost space, then what about Ma Lian and them?" said leisurely as he walked, "If we, and the parasites, fell into the ghost space before the night before, then Ma Lian should be with us, and it will not suddenly disappear later." And if we only fell into the ghost space after Ma Lian left us, then when Linda came here early yesterday morning to investigate, she wouldn't have found that everyone was gone, which is a very contradictory thing. ”
"Nothing strange. Duck said as a matter of course, "Marlene, they disappeared, not because we entered the ghost space, but because they ...... Went out. ”
"Yes, they left by mistake, and that's the only answer I can think of. So it's actually very simple to get out of here, just repeat what Ma Lian did in the end. ”
"What did they end up doing? Of course, they came to this tent that was the main venue. ”
"As fate would have it, they accidentally touched a toy left under the table while inspecting the place. ”
The table was flipped off, and the toys under the table were exposed to everyone's sight, still maintaining their original appearance.
"Did you ever play with spinning tops when you were kids? Shure slowly reached for the top, "However, I have never seen a spinning top that can maintain balance without falling crooked, even without spinning. ”
It's too small a detail, and the spinning top on the ground is not crooked, but straight on the ground. Originally, no one cared, thinking that it was leaning on the toys around it to maintain balance, but after being reminded, it was found that although it was very close, it really didn't touch anything.
"What the medium is, in fact, I don't know, but I know, at least in this ghost space, the medium is likely to be this spinning top, so if we change the state of the spinning top like Ma Lian and them, what will happen?"
"Smack", Shul's fingers pinched the top and lifted it up.
