Chapter 43: Discovering the Pattern
Han Chao's vigilance has increased several times since he heard that Li Yunchao is a special person, and among the current 12 people, two people have determined that there is a problem, one is Li Yunchao, and the other is ...... Wang Jingya. This kind of nonsense that happens to be a freshman in the School of Archaeology is almost the same as fooling children.
The conflict between Sister Feng and Li Yunchao came to an end under the mediation of the professor, and everyone was once again facing the problem of being trapped now.
"The hole that disappeared and reappeared for no reason... A door that appears and disappears for no apparent reason?", everyone is thinking about what is implied behind this phenomenon, after all, this is the only clue left for everyone in this strange place at present.
But the good news is that the unprovoked hole is not life-threatening.
Everyone is wondering what the logic of these holes is. "Jingya, do you remember how long it took between when you saw the hole appear and when it disappeared? ”
Old man Liu asked in a deep voice.
"It's about two or three minutes," Wang Jingya said after thinking for a while.
Old man Liu's eyes lit up.
"Xiaoli, you also think about it, the door we first found just now, to study how to open it, and finally to we called the big guy to come over and take a look at it and then returned to get the luggage together, how long did it take in between?
"Yes, Professor Liu, don't say it, it's really about two or three minutes to listen to you talk like this!"
Smack, Professor Zhou also clapped his hands excitedly! "That's it"
Old man Liu smiled. "If the guess is correct, this strange and innocuous cave and the gate we see should have appeared at the same time! and the time of each appearance is two to three minutes, I don't know what the specific reason is, but there may be this pattern."
Everyone was impressed by Old Man Liu's reasoning, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed reasonable, and they were very excited for a while.
The corners of Li Yunchao's mouth also hung a smile, and under the dim flashlight light, Wang Xiaoli happened to catch a glimpse.
"Classmate Li, it's funny to see you smiling, could it be that you guessed it a long time ago?"
"No, Sister Xiaoli, you are laughing, I am just laughing because we have found a reasonable explanation and are happy to leave here"
"Hmph", Sister Feng next to her snorted coldly.
"Xiaoli, do you remember what time it was when we found that gate?", Old Man Liu continued.
"I can't remember the exact time, but I've checked the time before, and it's 11:10"
"And now?"
"15:30"
Old man Liu smiled clearly, and the corners of Han Chao's mouth also rose.
"It seems that Liu Lao thinks that the time when this hole appears is also regular, and it has been about two hours since the last time it appeared. Zhang Peng said with a smile.
"The child can be taught", the old man Liu said with a smile, from the appearance of the law, his heart has become a lot more comfortable, walking the rivers and lakes for many years, in fact, the old man Liu has never been afraid of encountering strange and complicated things. In fact, the more complicated he is, the happier he is.
The world is like this, when a thing or a thing is complicated, it must mean that it has a lot of clues and flaws, and it will have traces to follow and laws to trace. The scariest things in the world are precisely those simple things.
"In that case, let's just wait, and when it's almost two hours, we'll start looking for the gate and find a way to open it!"
Many people breathed a sigh of relief, and once the tense nerves were released, hunger pangs followed, and one by one they took out the food from their bags and feasted on it.
"No, for you", Wang Jingya took out a piece of delicate bread and handed it to Han Chao.
"This is what I did," Wang Jingya said sweetly.
Han Chao took a bite, it was soft and delicious, and there was a jam carefully prepared by Wang Jingya in it.
"Thank you Jingya"
Wang Jingya smiled softly, looking at the people in front of her and savoring the bread she had made for a long time.
"Tao"
"Huh?"
"It's okay", Wang Jingya's cheeks were slightly sideways, and her white neck seemed to exude a bright light in the dark.
Han Chao's chest froze.
"You can say whatever you want, why twist and pinch it"
"If only we were trapped here forever......," Wang Jingya said quietly.
"If we were trapped here, wouldn't your parents be going crazy to cry"
"Oops, I just said it casually, I hate it", said Wang Jingya lightly slapped Han Chao a few times.
The whole dark room was quiet, and some people began to close their eyes after eating, and of course, everyone had already set the alarm clock. Some people tried to hold their phones up and down, trying to see if they could find a signal if they could burst out of character.
There are also people with bigger hearts, such as Huang Qipang, who actually started to play stand-alone games there, while Zhao Hanxue leaned on Qipang's shoulder and watched obediently.
Time passed minute by minute.
Drip, drip, drip... Drip drip, drip
The alarm went off.
"Everyone wake up, it's 17 o'clock", is Zhang Peng's voice, for the sake of safety, Zhang Peng set the alarm clock to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, to put it bluntly, it is better to be on guard in advance, and there is no possibility of missing it.
"Everyone turn off all your mobile phones and turn off all your flashlights!" said Old Man Liu in a deep voice.
"Focus all on seeing if there's a faint light anywhere!"
Everyone obediently turned off their mobile phones and flashlights, and for a moment the whole room was completely dark, there was no light here, except for the darkness, you couldn't see anything.
People could only hear each other's faint breathing, and under the tension, they began to hear their own pounding heartbeats. Wang Jingya grabbed Han Chao's arm tightly, and the twin peaks on her chest were attached to Han Chao's back.
Through the clothes that were not thick in summer, Han Chao could almost feel Wang Jingya's body temperature, he was a little ashamed, he didn't expect that Wang Jingya, who looked gentle and dignified, would stick to him so much.
"Beauty trick?", this thought flashed in his heart.
But... I have to admit that this feeling is still very comfortable.
Time passed minute by minute, I don't know whose mechanical watch made a clicking sound, and some people even counted the clicking sound to calculate how many minutes had passed. Some people are pessimistically thinking: what if the professor is wrong?
"Bright light!!!", Huang Qipang shouted at the top of his voice, "You see !! there is a bright light!! hahahaha"
Huang Qipang hugged Zhao Hanxue next to him and kissed him violently, turned on the flashlight and shone it in the direction he saw.
In fact, he didn't need to shine anymore, and everyone saw the faint light not far away, after all, it was so striking in the darkness.
