"Grunt, grunt", Vivien rolled up and down the gentle ramp with a ball part in one hand that she asked Freya for, and each time the metal orb was thrown out of her hand, it rolled back into her hand again. Vivien's gaze was fixed on the orb, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she couldn't figure out why this was happening.

"Do you understand?" Lina and Catherine lost interest after watching for a while, and each went back to tidy up their things, and after a while, they found that Vivien was still rolling the ball around, and couldn't help asking, "Seeing that you are playing so hard, it seems that you haven't figured it out yet." But I don't quite understand, I've seen a lot of things that subvert our common sense along the way, why are you only interested in this, is there anything special about it?"

"Ah? nothing special, but the things we saw before, although they also subvert common sense, are completely different from the meaning of this ramp. Vivian continued to subconsciously play the game of pétanque, and replied casually: "The ones I saw before can only be said to be rare, but they don't really subvert some basic knowledge, but this ramp is different, the phenomenon here subverts the most basic common sense of mechanics, and it is very valuable for research." And think about it, big sister, what happens if there is a lot of water flowing through here? We have already tried it just now, and the water will flow up the ramp, so what if the amount of water is very large? All the water will gather along the ramp to a high place, and it will gather more and more, and finally it will become like a water ball, which is too weird to happen. ”

"Your words are contradictory in themselves. Vivien's explanation was relatively simple, and Catherine quickly understood what she meant, and looked up the ramp: "If the water really converges upwards according to your assumptions...... No, how did it suddenly become so complicated, no matter which way you think about it, it seems to be a problem. ”

"That's why I've been thinking about it. But...... Ah. Vivien suddenly exclaimed, as she spoke, she kept subconsciously repeating the previous action of throwing the ball, but this time she was distracted, and the metal ball tumbled into a raised tree root on the way, and was bounced into the air by the obstacle. The result surprised everyone again, the metal ball popped out to the side, and suddenly there was a lateral acceleration process in the air, drawing a crooked arc, and finally smashed right at Pannis's foot.

"Something. "Even in sleep. Pannis was still alert to the situation outside the world, and felt the threat in a daze, subconsciously curled up and rolled to avoid the incoming metal ball, opened his eyes blankly and looked around, and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter, how did I feel as if something was going to hit me just now." ”

"It's just a delusion, yes, an illusion. The girls looked at each other and said in unison, "There was nothing just now." ”

"It turned out to be a delusion. The muscles on Pannis's face twitched. Picking up the metal ball that had hit a tree and coming to a halt, he threw it back to Freya: "Why did you remember to play with this kind of thing?"

"By the way, Pannis, come and see. Vivien ran over and grabbed Pannis's hand and pulled it hard to where she had been standing. Excitedly, he repeated what he had just said, raised his head and looked at him seriously and asked, "You have much more experience than me, do you know what's going on?"

"Interesting. Instead of touching the metal ball, Pannis knelt down on the ramp. Bending over and pressing his hands on the ground, he groped carefully little by little, and after a while straightened up again. frowned and said: "It's definitely not the influence of magnetic force, this watch is a bit like a spatial anomaly." ”

"Distort space?" Vivien's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Do you think it's a problem with space?"

"It's just a bit like, but not distorted, it's overlapping. "It should be that there are more than two overlapping spaces on this ramp, which is not unusual," said Pannis. However, theoretically speaking, when there is a spatial overlap, the current space will be the main space, and the rest of the space that overlaps with the current space is equivalent to a phantom, which will not affect the main space. But it's different here, for example, let's say there are only two overlapping spaces, the main space is the uphill we see, and the overlapping space is a downhill. What we see now is still the uphill ramp of the main space, but what mechanically affects us is the downhill ramp of the overlapping space. If the slope angle of the ramp in the two spaces is the same, I think the metal ball will stand still in place, and here it is obvious that the downhill slope is higher than the uphill slope, so this phenomenon of east-west rolling uphill will occur. Of course, these are all my guesses, and I'm just sensing signs of overlap in the spaces here, and making inferences based on those signs. ”

"But if that's the case, what if there's a flood?" Vivien repeated the question she had just discussed with Catherine, "Is it going to form an above-ground lake at the top of the slope?"

"Probably not, judging by the speed at which the metal ball rolls, the downward slope of the overlapping space is not very steep. Pannis shook his head and said, "The water collects upwards and gathers to a certain volume, because its weight is too large......"

"I see, mechanics. Vivien abruptly interrupted Pannis's explanation, pulled out her notebook and began to record, completely ignoring the outside world. Pannis's sentence was blocked in the middle of his sentence, he coughed a few times in a daze, and shook his head with a helpless wry smile.

"I don't know much about space. Seeing Pannis's pitiful appearance, Catherine covered her mouth and chuckled, "However, Vivien didn't figure it out after studying it for half an hour just now, and it turns out that you seem to understand it just by looking at it." ”

"If you also have a friend who is so fanatical about spatial knowledge that he does not hesitate to do anything, and once he is excited, he will explain it to others at some time and place, then you will understand it at a glance. Pannis smiled bitterly and said, "If it's something else, maybe I can't see anything right now, but if it's a space problem, I'm still ......."

"What's wrong with you?" said Pannis, his body suddenly stiffened, and he stood motionless, his expression becoming very strange. His watch frightened Catherine, thinking that he had been attacked by something, and before he could even take his shield, the support charge was activated in an instant, and his figure had appeared behind Pannis, blocking his rear with his body and fighting shield.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, don't be nervous. Catherine's actions made Pannis's heart feel inexplicably moved, but he forcibly pressed the emotion back into his heart and whispered: "I just suddenly thought of something, and I was a little distracted." ”

"It's not so scary to get distracted. Catherine gave him a disgruntled look: "What surprised you like this?"

Pannis didn't speak, just glanced in Vivien's direction. So Catherine immediately repeated Pannis's previous expression, her body stiffened and motionless, her lips trembled slightly and she couldn't make a sound, but looked into Pannis's eyes with an inquiring gaze. Pennis nodded and whispered, "I probably understand how those goblins hide their secrets, I really didn't expect them to do that." Maybe we've done something stupid, well, I'm afraid not, and that's the stupidest thing to do. ”

"Make it clear. Catherine said anxiously, "Where are they hiding?" and what are we doing stupidly?"

"You wait for me to get my thoughts in order. Pannis shook his head and said, "This time it should be right." ”

"Shhhh Lina didn't know when she was already standing beside the two of them, pointed out of the woods, and lowered her voice: "That thing, did you see it?"

Interrupted by Lina, the two looked in the direction she was pointing. The temperature outside seemed to have dropped somewhat, and quite a few powerful predators emerged from their shady dens, searching for prey in the open cave meadows, just as a few monsters came to the woods where the party was located.

Lina's surprise was justified, because the demonic beasts that appeared outside the woods were familiar to everyone. It's not accurate to say that they are familiar, because none of the girls have ever seen this kind of monster in its true form, but each of them has grown up listening to the legend of this monster, and they remember the appearance and characteristics of this monster very clearly, and it is impossible to be mistaken.

This is a very special group of magical beasts, seven or eight together to form a community, their appearance is very similar to lions, living habits are also very close, the male has a very powerful long mane, the body is strong and powerful, while the female is relatively thin and flexible, consciously surrounding the male. Although they resemble lions, no one thinks of them as lions, because they have a pair of wide wings stretched out from their ribs, and their tails are not lion's tails, but turned upside down like shoes, and the tips of their tails stick out of their poisonous sharp barbs, swaying in the air against the breeze.

"Manticore?" Catherine exclaimed, covering her mouth, "One of the heroes of a hundred years ago was the Manticore, how did they appear here, the legend says that the Manticore should live in another world." ”

"I see. "It has always been said that manticore lions live underground, two worlds completely different from the ground, where they have their own sun and their own ecological environment, and only very occasional circumstances can cross the border between the two worlds. I haven't been able to understand this legend, and even the manticore on the ground doesn't understand it himself, but I didn't expect it, but I didn't expect that the so-called other world is here, and this is the home of the manticore.
