At night.

Little Colorful and I stood side by side on the edge of the well, each holding a shoe in our hands. (The shoes were found by Shadow I don't know where they came from, and although there is a difference in weight between the left and right feet of the same villager, it is as I said before.) It was already the most ideal prop we could find at the time)

At this time, the shadow used both hands and feet, supporting the wall of the well, and slowly descended to a place of about two meters like a large gecko.

It didn't take long for the shadow to look at us and nodded.

Xiao Qicai and I glanced at each other, at this moment, my shoes are tied with ropes and tied in my hands, so I can guarantee that this shoe will be slowly lowered by the rope in my hand, and the speed will be very slow. And the shoe in Xiao Qicai's hand was not tied with a rope. At the same time, when the shadow counts to 3, Xiao Qicai will add a lot of strength to his hands and throw his shoes directly into the well!

So. Both shoes will fall into the well at different speeds and in the same amount of time.

And whether different speeds will enter different spaces is what we have to examine next.

If the results of the experiment prove that the two shoes entered the 16th and 18th floors of the elevator in the same time and at different speeds, it would prove that this well, perhaps the prototype of the 18th floor of hell, is not wrong.

Thinking of this, even the shadow urged a little impatiently, "Are you two ready?" ”

I subconsciously swallowed my saliva and looked at Xiao Qicai. Little Colorful nodded at me.

I made a gesture to the shadow that we had agreed to before. Then the shadow began to count: "1! ”

At this moment, Xiao Qicai and I were inevitably a little nervous.

“2”！

I feel like my heart is beating a lot faster than usual!

“3”！

Hastily!

The shoes in Xiao Qicai's hand quickly fell into the well.

At the same time, the shoe in my hand was slowly being pulled by the rope at a very slow pace. Falling into the well.

Later.

The shadow quickly climbed back up, holding the shoe I had put down. But the shoe that Xiao Qicai just threw down couldn't see it at all, and he didn't know what to do. At first sight, Xiao Qicai and I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, as if we had guessed something.

The shadow held the shoes and didn't speak, but the eyes that looked at us were obviously shocked.

Long......

I said, "The other shoe ......."

"It's gone!" Before I could finish, the shadow interrupted me and said, "I watched the shoe fall, but when it was about to hit my head. All of a sudden, it was gone! ”

Little Colorful muttered dreamily, "It seems that this well is really at a different speed and will enter a different time and space. That's why it's called a bottomless well, it turns out that there is really such a magical place in the world that can break the shackles of space! ”

I thought for a moment and pondered, "If everything is as we assumed before, I'm afraid we can't guarantee which floor of the elevator we'll end up on after jumping down the shaft." But anyway, we have to give it a try! ”

The shadow said quietly, "How do you want to try?" ”

I looked her in the eye and said, "The three of us hold hands, form a circle, and jump down." ”

The shadow said, "The three of us? Why not the two of you? ”

I said, "Because ...... You want to protect us. ”

The shadow said, "What if I refuse?" ”

I deliberately said, "Will you?" Have you not always obeyed orders? Didn't you say that you are a person without ego? ”

The shadow fell silent.

After a while, she turned around and said in a sad voice, "Not bad. I am a person without ego, alive and only existing to carry out orders! ”

I don't want to continue arguing with her about this. Actually, I just think that the next move, we should be together anyway. Half of it is indeed because of the powerful force of the shadow, which can protect us well in times of danger. The other half may be because Shadow was my childhood playmate, so I've made her my friend.

But at this time, Xiao Qicai raised a very key question, that is, "No one can guarantee that even if we hold hands, we can go to the same space safely and soundly." Maybe because the weight of our bodies is different, the speed is different, and there will be "space cutting" things. For example, the independent human head just now may have been "cut out of space" to separate the corpse. ”

This hypothesis is also possible.

Maybe after we jumped, our head was on the 16th floor of the elevator, but our body entered the 18th floor, which should be what Xiao Qicai wanted to express, the meaning of the so-called "space cutting". Because the situation was extremely special at that time, I think Xiao Qicai's words were not unreasonable. After all, we really don't know much about the Earth as we know it. (At that time, it also occurred to me that although human science and technology are constantly advancing, I think there are many unsolved mysteries on Earth that are no less than those of ancient people.) Moreover, it is precisely because of the continuous development of these technologies that our imagination is limited. ）

However, back to reality, if everything is as Xiao Qicai said, in that case, it is equivalent to us using an acceleration to commit suicide, which is undoubtedly equivalent to automatically aiming our necks at the shadow's scimitar, and then jumping down hard. But now, we have no better way, in order to find Feng Tiansong, I feel that there are some things that must be risked!

So after a while, the three of us stood still and hesitated for a long time, and finally we all decided to hold hands and jump off, even if there was a chance of danger, it should always be worth trying.

Before jumping down, Xiao Qicai didn't know whether to comfort us or what, and suddenly said, "Assuming that people die every day in this village, and everyone will be transformed after death, then the final result will be like Xiaomei, and finally jump into this well, then the probability of spatial cutting is actually very low." Because so many corpses have jumped into the well, but only one of them has a human head standing on its own, so I think the real danger is not so high, only about 1%. "Kizumiyu.

After Xiao Qicai said this, our mood was obviously a lot more relaxed.

Immediately afterwards, the shadow carefully put away his knife close to his body, so as not to accidentally injure us when he fell down later, because of the increase in speed.

Then, after everything was ready, the three of us held hands and went to the well.

Looking down at the dark space in the well, we couldn't help but think that there were many situations that might happen to us when we jumped down later, one was that there was no space transfer, we fell directly to the bottom of the well, and then fell and injured our arms and legs, and could not climb up again. I laugh when I think about it, but if that's the case, I'm afraid it's too late to cry.

The second is unfortunate to be cut by space, the head and body are separated, and they die directly. This situation is also more terrible, because it is equivalent to us murdering ourselves.

The third is that we jump into a space where we don't know, and what awaits us there is a danger that no one can predict. But it is precisely because of the unknown that there is a very curious and fascinating allure for us.

……

"So are you both ready?" I saw that at that moment, both Little Colorful and Shadow were a little emotionally complicated. Nervous and excited, and a little scared at the same time.

But both of them quickly nodded their heads to indicate that they could jump.

I thought for a moment and said, "Count to three, and we'll act at the same time." Be careful to keep a good distance from each other, otherwise your heads will hit each other and you will probably ......"

"Got it, hurry up!" The shadow interrupted me impatiently before he could finish speaking.

I also felt a little verbose at this point, so I quickly counted three. Then, in that moment, we closed our eyes at the same time, gritted our teeth, and jumped off in an instant.

At first, the strong feeling of falling made us unable to breathe, our brains went blank, our ears were full of whirring wind, and all the organs of our body felt as if they were about to pop out together, which was very uncomfortable.

In fact, it doesn't take long for us to go from the moment we start jumping to the moment we experience all kinds of weird and amazing feelings. But this experience of falling from a high altitude and finally falling into a mysterious space is not something that everyone can experience. So I have to paint it in some detail and share it with you.

At that time, I suddenly had a strong feeling of nausea and dizziness due to the displacement of my organs, and then the muscles in my whole body began to pump violently.

It was a spasmodic convulsion, like the feeling of sleeping until the middle of the night and suddenly I couldn't get up from the bed all of a sudden, uncontrollable!

I wanted to hold the hands of Little Colorful and Shadow tightly, but the muscles were no longer controlled by the nerves, so at that moment, my hand involuntarily let go, and then I felt a violent tremor all over my body. It's like suddenly riding a fierce horse, and I'm about to come out!

Don't laugh, I did feel like I wanted to fart.

But then I learned that the feeling was actually extremely terrible.

Because that means we're about to enter a complete vacuum!

(Of course, the information of the vacuum, I recalled it afterwards, and speculated based on the information I found on the Internet and the situation I encountered.) The old rules, I have written it out here for everyone's reading and understanding)

First of all, let's talk about vacuum.

According to online information, vacuum means a state of gas with a pressure of less than one atmosphere in a given space, which is a physical phenomenon. In other words, in this space, there is no gas, and all gases have to be "driven" out, so at first I will feel like I want to fart.

The human beings mentioned in traditional martial arts break through the limits of force and enter a state of "void", as well as the "secret realm" mentioned in many fantasy, should refer to "the space where human beings are in a complete vacuum".

Here, sound cannot be transmitted because there is no medium.

So at that time, I opened my mouth wide and wanted to call Little Colorful and Shadow by name, but I couldn't do it at the time to do something so simple as usual.

Because vacuum is a concept in physics, it initially reflects the state of nothingness, similar to "nothing". So I immediately thought that the philosophical concept of "the unity of heaven and man" often put forward by Taoists, or is it accurate to say that Zhuangzi, who put forward this concept, also referring to the situation I am in now? Does this mean that Zhuangzi once came to the same space as me? Otherwise, how could he have written the "Journey to the North" and the various legends of the mystified butterfly that have been passed down through the ages?

Zhuangzi's thoughts, in fact, if you think about it carefully, coincide with the sayings of "stepping through the void" and "stepping into the secret realm". But what exactly is that realm? Nobody knows. Here, I want to tell you that as long as you have experienced the same thing as me, in fact, it is not mysterious, and to put it bluntly, it is very simple, the so-called void, that is, vacuum!

But what happens to human beings in a vacuum?

Some people say that Unit 731 once conducted a similar experiment, setting up a barometric pressure laboratory to measure the limits of human resistance at high altitudes to determine the limits of the tolerance of various organs of the human body in high air pressure. These experiments were exactly the same as those done by Hitler's gangster Rachel.

The Nuremberg International Tribunal called this experiment the most brutal and inhumane of Hitler's gangsters. Because the living person is in a sealed air pressure room, it does not take long for the eyeballs to bulge out, and the person is also suffocated to death, and the pain is unimaginable.

But what I want to say is that in that very mysterious well.

Xiao Qicai and Shadow and I were not suffocated, and our eyeballs did not bulge.

We all had the feeling of "flying" in an instant. It's like the body suddenly loses energy, becomes ethereal, and crashes everywhere, this feeling should be similar to the feeling of being in the universe and losing gravity.

(At this time, I suddenly had a very strange idea, that is, in connection with the above, does it mean that the light skills that often appear in martial arts are actually practicing anti-gravity?) If you cultivate to the limit, you can enter the realm of the void? According to the corresponding relationship between each other, it should be 1. light work, 2 upgrade to the void. Corresponding to 1. anti-gravity, 2 into vacuum)

Then it became pitch black around us, as if we had become blind in an instant, unable to see anything. Of course, I couldn't see the little colors and shadows, and I felt instantly isolated.

And this feeling of flight and darkness and strong concussion lasted for I don't know how long, and when my eyes saw the bodies of the little colorful and shadow again, we found that at this moment, we were no longer in the well. Instead, all of a sudden, they were in a very strange, mysterious space.

But at that moment, I knew we had succeeded!

After jumping down the shaft at a completely different speed than before, we came to another space at the same time, which is the previous metaphor - "elevator on the 18th floor!" ”
