Chapter 46: Shake the Man
It's a good idea to ask Helios directly for a debt. It's not that you can't make a phone call.
"Now the plan has changed." He grabbed Wen Yuan's shoulder, "Listen, let's go out first." Don't worry about chance, there will be new opportunities. Now there may be a way out. β
"I'm sorry... Actually, you can stay here, right? β
"What are you talking about now? I am full of treasures, and I have as many opportunities as I want, and I can live forever if I cut off a piece of meat and eat it. If you're stuck here, I'll owe even more human debt. Lolo! Do you want to go together? β
He didn't forget to call the white lion, but Luo Luo just lay on the spot and didn't move.
"Then I'm sorry, let's go first." Shang Luoping raised his spear and pointed in the direction of the elevator:
"Apollonia! Lighting! β
γThe light is coming~~~γ
The tip of the spear began to vibrate, and even recoiled was created. A huge amount of phlogiston flowed out of Apollonia's box, and a ball of light that was more dazzling than a solder joint burst out, like gathering the sun's energy into a small point.
The darkness churned and stepped aside, giving way to the iron gate 3 meters away. Behind the iron gate is the staircase, which was locked before.
"I remember I can't open the stairs here, so let's go to the left. There is an elevator on the left and we can take the elevator up. β
With a huge flashlight, Shang Luo led the way in front, and Wen Yuan, who was already in a trance, put his hand on his shoulder. The huge flashlight lights up a blazing light, bright and icy, but can illuminate dark areas of at least 3 meters.
With a "bang", Shang Luo stopped.
"How?" Wen Yuan poked his head out from behind - the stone statue of the three-phase god appeared in front of him, the god's eyes were closed, staring silently at everything in the darkness. It's exactly the same as the god statue just now.
"Hey... Shang Luo, are we coming back? β
...
Shang Luo swallowed, but his throat straightened with nervousness.
"No, the white lion isn't here... This is another one. Leave him alone, let's keep walking, the elevator is in front. β
He turned left and walked in the direction of the elevator he remembered.
"Knock".
The spearhead poked at the stone statue again. The elevator in memory is gone, and a new three-way intersection appears there. The stone statue stood there silently, as if it was supposed to die there all along.
[The three-phase god may appear at every fork in the road, she guides the living and the dead. She symbolizes luck and decay. By following the path she leads, the shepherd can return to his home, and the dying-person will know where it is going. It seems that the results of the previous calculations are correct, and we can't get out. Further on, I'm afraid we'll get to where we 'should' go. Do you want me to turn off the lights? It's dangerous to light up there. γ
"Damn... Why??? Why do we suddenly encounter such a powerful enemy! β
[Because of bad luck.] If it is in an open area, we can easily get rid of the dark night of the three-phase god. But this is the basement, and almost every road here is a three-way crossing. And there is no sunlight here, the sunlight is more than ten meters deep outside the formation. My light is only a small fluorescent light compared to the sun, and it cannot illuminate the whole darkness, but can only wander between the three forks in the road. It seems that our way is here...]
"Wait, your phlogiston is the same as sunlight?"
[Same.] From a occult point of view, my light is equivalent to sunlight. γ
"What the hell is phlogiston?"
[Phlogiston is light.] But not light in the usual sense of the wordβI ask you, what is Reiki? Why is there a fairy root radish in this world that is ready for people? Why can so many things be used to strengthen the human body? Why can the true meaning of the Great Dao be contained in the human body? Why do there are five elements in the sky and five organs in people? Why do there are six laws in heaven and six internal organs in man? Why do there are seven stars in the sky and seven holes in people? Why do there are eight winds in the sky and eight festivals in people? Because there is a universal connection between man and nature, human beings are the primates of all things. If you believe that this connection exists, if you believe that you are the primate of all things, then phlogiston is light. γ
"What if I don't believe it?"
Then phlogiston would not exist, and my whole world would cease to exist. It's like if you don't talk to me, there's no second person who can hear me. Phaethon is not a human. γ
"I see... If phlogiston is light. He slowly speared the sky, and the ceiling was illuminated.
"Wen Yuan!"
"Got a play?"
"Can you see the aura! The ball of light at the end of the spear, can you see the aura! β
"I can see it, I can see it spewing out and the aura. Didn't you use it as a flashlight? β
"Hah! Herein lies the problem. Apollonia. β
He asked Apollonia, "You have calculated that I will die, but I don't think so." If your world were independent, I would surely die in this situation. But we are not the only ones in this extraordinary world. Wen Yuan can also see phlogiston, he thinks it's aura! So what did you tell me before? How can I hurt the Divine Machine? β
[Only the Divine Machine can hurt the Divine Machine? In other words, we can bring in the intervention of other gods to break the deadlock! γ
"We can send Reiki to shake people! Although they don't believe in you, they believe in other divine machines. As long as there is still one person in this world who believes in the existence of divine machines, we are not alone. β
[However, it can only be contacted indirectly.] OK... Yes, I can use phlogiston to shake people, just convert the code. Just convert it to a code that others can understand. That's right, send a telegram! But how do you send a Reiki telegram? Who can receive Reiki telegrams? γ
"You wait." He grabbed Wen Yuan's shoulder behind him: "It's saved!" We can signal to shake people! Think about how to shake people! You brocade guards have a code word, right? It's the previous '15 chicken nuggets with two packets of Sichuan-flavored spicy sauce and two packets of sweet and sour sauce'. β
"Yes, yes, that's true. But that's going to have to be done by calling the Golden Arches. β
"We can send a telegram! Think about it, do you remember how to send a telegram? Send us the telegram. It has to be a secret text that Jinyiwei can understand. β
"I remember! Yes, yes, it seems to be one! But I... My brain was just emptied once, and I forgot what it meant. But my muscles remember. You wait. β
He pressed his hand against the wall: "Are you ready?" Treat the rhythm of my knocking on the wall as if it were a telegram. β
"Apollonia, did you hear that?"
[No problem, knock it.] γ
Wen Yuan began to knock on the wall with his knuckles. As an outstanding student at the Wutaishan Academy, telegraphy is a compulsory subject. He used the wall as a telegraph and typed out the telegram with his fingers.
[He knocked on...'Zero zero million, ninety-two, upper six, class C synergy, according to Kun Wei needle entry, Zhen. β... Approach? What to enter? γ
Apollonia was stunned for a moment.
γit!γ There is a reply! I've got a signal! 'Xuanhuang eleven, upper sixth, class C synergy, according to Kun Wei needle entry, big gift twelve. Chaste. 'What do you mean?' What kind of mess is this? Why are they all code words? Ask him, how do I reply? γ
Shang Luo hurriedly repeated it to him.
"Wait... I have to think about it. Wen Yuan slammed his head, "You are like this, it's all muscle memory, and I can't help it if it's wrong." β
He continued to bang on the wall. He only knocked 4 times.
[Then I sent it.] The content is: 'Xuanhuang Eleven, Shangliu, Class C Synergy, enter the field according to Kunwei needle, and the gift is twelve. Chaste. 'What do you mean?' How did he repeat it? γ
Before the words fell, a low "buzzing" suddenly came from overhead. The frequency of the sound was extremely low, like the roar of a giant beast of the wilderness, and the whole world resonated with it.
"Ah!!h Wen Yuan slammed the wall, "I remembered!" 'Zhen' means to repeat it infallibly! β
"Repeat what? What does it mean to enter the market by Kunwei? β
"'Entering the field according to the kunwei needle' means entering the sky above the target from the southwest, and this code word is called air support! I shouted over my head and they told me to repeat it, and I repeated it..."
"How did it come so quickly?"
"Because I called it before! Called a few hours ago, called Golden Arches. How dare these rats kidnap me. I directly called a 'double-decker chicken leg burger, no lettuce, no salad dressing' and called the group of bombers who ploughed the garden and swept the holes! They seemed to have arrived, right overhead. β
As he spoke, there was already a buzzing sound above his head from far and near, and the louder it was, the closer it became.
"The bomb is down! Stairwell! Run to the stairwell! I have seen the fire protection diagram, and the stairwell of this building is a structural tube, and the stairwell will not collapse if the house collapses. The bombers of the San Francisco Guard are all naval bombers, and they drop armor-piercing high-explosive bombs, which can directly smash through the entire building from top to bottom! Hide in the stairwell, we're all going to die! β
