Chapter 164: Penrose Steps

Somewhere, it was silent and dark, with only sporadic lights flickering. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xing Ziliang lay on the ground, and after I don't know how long, his fingers moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

He propped himself up, holding his forehead with one hand and shaking it until the dizziness disappeared, and then he looked up to look up at his surroundings, where the figure looked a little lonely.

"It's ...... Where is it?" looked around in the faint light and muttered to himself, a little at a loss.

The surrounding scene came into view, and the atmosphere was gloomy.

"Anyone?" he shouted twice, echoed, but no one answered.

He seems to be the only one here.

"What the hell is going on?" Xing Ziliang scratched his head, puzzled.

"I remember being almost killed by him......," he muttered, recalling the events of a recent time ago, when he was exhausted and confused, and he couldn't remember clearly.

"At that time, I seemed to feel an indescribably strong aura, and then Cang Zheng stopped his hand, as if talking to someone, and then someone blasted him out......"

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, someone should have saved him, but how did he get to such a strange place?

Xing Ziliang shouted a few more times unwillingly, saying that he wanted to thank the benefactor who saved his life, but no one answered.

"If you save someone, you will leave?" he muttered, "There are red scarves in this world that do good deeds without leaving a name?"

He shook his head helplessly, looked around, and felt more and more strange.

This place is wide, and there are wall rocks at the end of all sides, only there is a stone staircase in the middle of the wall rocks, which is dark and quiet, and I don't know where it leads.

Xing Ziliang's body was still sore, his qi was dormant, and it was difficult to run his whole body for a while.

He thought about it, raised his hand to check the Xianxun bracelet, only to find that he had been asleep for a day and a night, and it was already the evening of the next day, and the Xianxun bracelet had no signal here, and he couldn't even locate it.

In desperation, he had no choice but to leave this place first and walked up the stone staircase, which was strangely built and would turn left every ten steps.

Half an hour passed, and Xing Ziliang's brows became tighter and tighter, and his doubts were very serious.

"Strange, how does this stone staircase seem to have no end?"

He felt that he had been walking up the stone staircase, but after walking for half an hour, he had not even reached the end of the stone staircase, if this was a building, it should be more than a thousand meters high.

"Something is wrong, it's weird. Xing Ziliang stopped and thought about it.

"There was a guy who saved my life and left me in this hellish place, what the hell did he want to do?" he was extremely puzzled and confused.

"To be reasonable, even if a day and a night have passed, I should still be in Atlantis now, but where is this?"

There is no end to the stone stairs up and down, and only the opening of the corner outside more than ten steps can be seen, as if the builder deliberately did it.

Xingzi Liang looked up and down, thoughtfully, and with great energy, he cut off a piece of the corner of his clothes with a sword shadow, put it on the stairs, and then continued to go up.

He walked for about three more minutes, and his pupils suddenly shrank as he passed the corner and went up.

He actually saw the corner of the clothes he had just cut off again!

"Damn, won't it......" Xing Ziliang was incredulous, "I actually met the Penrose Ladder!?"

The so-called Penrose Ladder refers to a mathematical paradox that was famous on the original earth.

A ladder that is always up or down but never ends, on which the highest point or the lowest point can never be found, is like the Möbius ring, which is called an impossible ladder, or a ladder with no end.

This impossible object comes from a trompe l'oeil phenomenon when depicting a three-dimensional object in a two-dimensional plane, but it is also said that although the Penrose Ladder cannot exist in three-dimensional space, it can be easily realized as long as it is placed in a higher order space.

However, Xing Ziliang also knew that on the original earth, there were also people who claimed to have encountered this kind of endless staircase, and finally called the familiar ghost hitting the wall.

Xing Ziliang picked up the corner of his clothes, his brows furrowed, what kind of place is this, there is actually a Penrose staircase, or did he encounter a ghost hitting the wall?

"Ghosts hit the wall?" Xing Ziliang was suddenly stunned and muttered, "Aren't all the ghosts in this world existing in the immortal tomb?"

"Could it be that this is a fairy tomb!?"

Even he himself was taken aback by this thought, could it be that the person who saved him threw him into an immortal tomb?

"The immortal tombs in Yashan are completely different from here, and I have never seen stone tablets, palaces, or coffins here......," he said to himself.

"Could it be that I'm wrong, this is really a paradox......"

Before the words came out, he was denied by Xing Ziliang himself, it was impossible at all, if it was the Penrose Staircase, how could the entrance of the stone staircase he had climbed at that time be missing?

Xing Ziliang simply didn't leave, and sat directly on the ground, thinking about it in his heart, he knew that even if he continued to walk, it would be in vain, and he couldn't crack the mystery of this stone ladder, he couldn't leave this stone ladder at all.

......

When the torturer Liang was mired in the Penrose Steps, the chaos in Atlantis finally calmed down.

First of all, the news of the return of the navy came, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief, and then the government announced that the second regent was murdered, and the murderer even injured the Protoss, which led to the chaos in Atambul, but now the Protoss are unharmed, and the two brothers of Zhengling Anping took action and personally let the perpetrators ambush and execute them, so please rest assured that everyone in the Kingdom of Atlantis.

But not long after, news circulated among journalists from various countries and the people of Atlantis that the person who murdered the second regent was a killer sent by Her Royal Highness, and even the three attendants of Her Royal Highness were involved, but because the killer injured the Protoss at the same time, the situation was chaotic, and the three attendants fled.

Resentment has grown, and it is even rumored that some people have put forward the idea of a revolutionary army to overthrow the current royal power.

When Wu Fengqi and Qi Ye woke up, they were more than 100 kilometers away from Atambul City.

The two immediately contacted Xing Ziliang, but they couldn't get through, and finally when the two saw the news on the Internet that "the prisoner who murdered the Protoss has been ambushed", the two couldn't cry.

They thought that Liang had died in battle in the city of Atampur to protect them.

Wu Fengqi even erected a well-dressed mound for the torturer Liang, and buried the clothes that the torturer Liang had wore, she cried red eyes, and made countless vows in her heart towards the tombstone.

Ziye drank wine all night in front of the tomb of Xing Ziliang, and also cried bitterly, he felt that he was ashamed of Xing Ziliang and was full of self-blame.

They didn't know that at this moment, Xingzi Liang was thinking about whether he should starve to death on the Penrose Steps, right?
