Chapter 234: Twenty-two Extra Steps

"Timer. "Everyone sat in a circle on the green carpet-like lawn, Pannis lay on his back on the ground, his head resting on his hands, one leg crossed on the other, and a straw stick in his mouth, looking very leisurely enjoying this piece of greenery that may not have been set foot in for thousands of years." However, it didn't take long for him to suddenly sit up suddenly, stare at Vivien and ask, "How long?" ”

"Four minutes and thirty-nine seconds. Vivien clicked and closed the timer in her hand, and her expression seemed to be a little soothing: "You should have tested it for five minutes, so it seems that there is no problem with the perception of time." ”

"Well, five minutes. Pannis nodded, rubbed his chin and said, "If the perception of time is distorted, it is very troublesome, and it is best to eliminate it." First, we just sat and didn't move as we did just now, and second, if this distortion and interference is periodic, such as every few minutes or an hour or two, then what we're doing this time is invalid. ”

"It's possible, but it's not very likely that the gap will be met by our experiment. Vivian lowered her head, three pens under the control of the magic silk thread, recording different numbers in three different notebooks, people who don't know her past may be difficult to understand, how can she be so distracted and multi-purpose, how can she accurately record every piece of information, but the mage girl's teammates are very clear that her current multi-purpose is completely exchanged for more than ten years of pain, and it is far more difficult to accurately control her body to make various movements than to control three pens at the same time. The girl's consciousness controlled the three pen records, and she had the leisure to speak: "Ignore this possibility first, is it to start the next step?"

"The next step is simpler, who is the tape measure? Will use it later. Pannis took out a roll of climbing rope and put it aside, took off his bow and arrows to adjust his breathing, pondered for a moment and said: "For the first test, take a distance of thirty meters first, and you can also help estimate the approximate position." ”

"Whoosh", the feather arrow rushed into the sky with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. Crossing a standard parabola and pinning it into Pannis's estimated position, Pannis looked at the others, and everyone nodded in response, apparently the landing point of the feather arrow was not much different from the thirty meters in everyone's mind.

"It seems that even if it is really a distance to feel interference, it is also disturbed together, at least there is not much difference between us, if one thinks that it only shoots five meters, the other has to say that it is seventy or eighty meters. That's a headache. Pannis still had the heart to make a joke, but no one could laugh at it, and in desperation, Pannis could only sigh, bow his head and take the end of the climbing rope, and walk towards the landing point of the feather arrow.

"Wait. Catherine subconsciously called out to Pannis: "You just said that it is dangerous to walk around at will. ”

"Don't worry, it's only thirty meters. Pannis waved his hand nonchalantly: "I'm just going to take a measurement." Come back soon, rest assured. With such a short distance, there will be no danger. ”

Usually the people who say this sentence basically can't come back. Dilly sneered, "Go all the way, idiot Kyle, I'll sweep your grave today next year." Feed. It's dangerous to shoot arrows randomly, and the problem hasn't been found yet, what if your sense of space is misaligned and you really shoot me. ”

"Whew, the shot is crooked. Pannis pouted with regret. It sprang forward, and after a few seconds, it appeared where the feather arrow was. Catherine straightened the rope in her place and marked it before beckoning to Pannis, who ran a few steps back to the group, but with a puzzled look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Lina asked curiously, "Judging by your expression, it seems that you have found something wrong." ”

"Four steps off. Pannis frowned and said hesitantly: "When I came back, I was four steps less than when I went, that is, five to six meters." I've done my best to keep each step equal in size, and even if there are slight differences, there shouldn't be so much difference in such a short distance, there must be something wrong with that. ”

"The distance is fine. Vivien had quickly measured the length of the rope and said, "The distance is thirty-one and a half meters, because it is an estimate, and one and a half meters more is still acceptable." ”

"It's probably not a problem with a sense of distance. Pannis shook his head and said, "I did take four extra steps, and the problem should be with these extra four steps." You wait for me a while, I'll go a little further and try to see if it will be more obvious. ”

"Don't go too far, be careful not to come back. Catherine advised: "Hurry back a hundred meters at most, if you go any farther, you may be in danger." ”

"yes, I see. This time, Pannis didn't say anything that would have provoked Dilly's teasing, just smiled and nodded, and left the group again. This time he walked much farther than before, and the girls watched from a distance, and after about a hundred meters began to turn back. The girls who had been staring at him finally realized that something was wrong, his speed was almost uniform, and the distance of each step was almost equal, but he had returned at least ten seconds longer than when he left. At this time, there was a very strange feeling, obviously the speed has not changed, the distance has not changed, but the time has changed unreasonably.

"You've found out, too. As soon as Pannis came back, he said: "I took twenty-two extra steps this time, it seems that the distance has really been stretched, strange, this is unreasonable, how can I take twenty-two more steps out of thin air?"

"Indeed, we all saw it. Catherine was also full of doubts, and said puzzledly: "Even if you don't use a tape measure to measure the timing distance, if it's just a problem with the sense of distance, the round-trip time should be exactly the same, after all, you are starting from a point-to-point position, and it is impossible to go back and forth in a straight line between two points but the distance is different." It feels like this distance is full of elasticity, stretching and contracting, which is really incomprehensible. ”

"Anyway, since it's not our perception that is wrong, then we shouldn't encounter the problem I just said, walking and directly bumping into the twisted soul. Pannis said: "If it doesn't work, let's keep going, anyway, the speed of moving forward is very fast, and it will be easy to do it when we get to the normal place." The only pity is that I can't figure out what's going on here. ”

"Because this space is made of debris. (To be continued.) )
