Chapter 31, Cui Hao is lost
Although I can't figure it out, we have climbed to this place, and we don't have any room to retreat.
I could only urge Cui Hao as much as possible to let him follow me to climb forward, and after crawling forward for another hundred meters, a cold wind hit me.
At this time, a few dozen meters in front of me, I could already clearly see the exit of a square hole, and it was clear that we had reached the next passage.
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked back behind me.
"Fatty, we should have found a way out, let's ...... as soon as possible"
Before I could finish my sentence, my scalp exploded.
There is still Cui Hao's shadow behind me, this guy disappeared behind my ass without a sound.
"Fatty, Cui Hao, don't you joke with me?"
I shouted behind me.
My echo hovers faintly in the empty tunnels.
But Cui Hao seemed to disappear out of thin air, and never gave me any answer.
I gritted my teeth and quickly turned around and crawled backwards.
"Cui Hao, don't scare me, where did you go?"
I'm the only one left under the open ground. It was as if I was the only one left in the world.
It was so terrifying that I felt my hands and feet tremble.
"Cui Hao, where is your kid?"
I crawled backwards for a hundred meters, but I still didn't see his shadow.
I was getting more and more panicked in my heart, could it be that when I was crawling just now, something appeared behind me and dragged Cui Hao away silently?
Cui Hao is a personal essence, I know his strength best, and ordinary ghosts really can't do anything about him.
If I can make him disappear quietly, then this thing must be extremely terrifying, and I will definitely encounter danger.
I quickly took out a dagger and put it across my chest, looked around carefully, and cautiously lowered my voice and continued to call Cui Hao's name.
Just when I thought he might have really disappeared completely underground.
Cui Hao's voice actually rang out from behind my ass.
"Little Man, I'm here, where are you?"
Hearing this sound, the tight strings in my head finally loosened.
I swallowed and shouted in the direction of the voice.
"Fatty, why did you run ahead of me? Shouldn't you be following me when I'm in front of you? ”
I looked back at the road ahead, and I still didn't understand why Cui Hao's voice came from this direction.
Cui Hao also seemed a little baffled.
"Little Manye, don't scare me. Just now, it was obvious that I was following you to crawl forward, but I didn't know what was going on, and in the blink of an eye, you disappeared even in the light. This underground cavity is so dark, you almost scared me to death, I immediately crawled forward to see if you were in danger, but I never found anyone. ”
Cui Hao's voice was even a little trembling, not at all like he was fooling me here.
"Little Manye, it's obvious that you can't find anyone when you don't see it first, why do you still throw the pot on me? And I wonder why I climbed in front of you instead of finding you, so I kept crawling forward. ”
The two of us talked, crawling in each other's direction.
Soon, I crawled to the end of the sound.
I remember it was a one-way street, and there was only one way to the end.
But at this time, I didn't expect that there was a dead end in front of me, and the exit of the black hole just now was actually gone.
"Cui Hao, are you in front?"
I suppressed the horror in my heart and shouted at the dead end in front of me.
Cui Hao's voice actually came from the other end of the wall.
"I'm here, I'm going, how is there a wall here? Is the end of the road we are climbing a dead end? ”
I froze in place for a moment, and I couldn't tell whether I had misread it or had found a fork in the road.
I distinctly remember that it was a one-way street, there was no fork in the road, and I did see a black square exit.
But how did it become a wall now?
Confused, I turned to look behind me.
The long tunnel made a faint turn a hundred meters away, and I couldn't see what was on the other side of the curve.
"Cui Hao, do you feel weird?"
I shook my hand around, and suddenly I felt that the cold and cold breeze was gone.
My heart sank.
You know, if there's that cool breeze, it means I'm close to the exit of that passage.
The cool breeze blew in my face from the exit of this passage, but now it seems that I am getting farther and farther away from it.
Not even a little wind can be felt.
Cui Hao's voice trembled a little: "Little Manye, what should we do?" I also felt that something was wrong, and there seemed to be a voice on my side. You also listen carefully to see if there is that small crunch rustle around you. ”
He described it as so cold that I couldn't help but immediately look around a few times while holding my breath and listening carefully to the sounds around me.
Fortunately, there is no so-called clicking sound on my side, and the pin drop is still quiet and can be heard.
I shouted at Cui Hao on the other side of the wall.
"I don't have a sound, I don't know what your clicking sound is, but be careful. I had just seen a square exit, but now it was gone, and I had clearly kept crawling forward. ”
I looked at the passage and suddenly had a guess in my mind.
"Cui Hao, I think someone may have set up some kind of obstacle at the corner, there is absolutely no such passage in this place, he is likely to have several forks. When I came back to look for you just now, I probably accidentally strayed into one of the forks, and then I lost myself. ”
I looked around and was nervous.
"There's no chance of a problem on the straight, it's likely that the problem is in the places where the corners are turning, and I'm going to climb back to see if I can solve the obstacle there. Be careful yourself, and if you encounter any danger, you must flee as soon as possible. ”
Cui Hao's voice was mixed with a little uneasiness.
"Little Manye, you said we wouldn't be trapped under this ground like a rat and forcibly suffocated, right?"
I shook my head, trying to comfort him as much as I could.
"Don't worry, since I brought you here, then I will definitely take you out completely and safely. Stay here, and if that noise gets louder and closer, find a way to escape. If not, I'm waiting for my news here. ”
After I finished explaining Cui Hao, I immediately turned around and crawled back towards the bend of the road.
I once learned some skills from Aunt Hua and heard some legends.
I know that there are some skilled craftsmen who will find some strange tricks when they set up some passageway entrances.
These things can confuse people's eyes and make people go down a fork in the road without realizing it.
My first reaction was that there must have been something like this at the bends we passed, but the two of us were too panicked to crawl forward, so no one noticed.
I thought carefully about the time when I returned to look for the fat man, and I had gone through two turns.
The amplitude of these two turns is not large, and it is roughly an obtuse angle of seventy or eighty degrees, and the problem must be in this corner.
"If you can find the right path, then there is a high probability that you will be able to find the fat man who got lost with me, and you will also be able to find the square exit."
I quickly crawled to the first corner and took a closer look at my surroundings.
The corners were gentle, and there were no ornaments around me, and I held up my flashlight and looked around, it was so calm that there was not even any sound or noise.
"If it weren't for the sound and other objects, how did the two of us get lost?"
I didn't give up, and continued to carefully look around through the flashlight to find out the situation.
I crawled a few more meters around the corner towards the road, pointing my flashlight at the wall around the corner and looking up and down.
Suddenly, I noticed that the light from the flashlight seemed to have some slight ripples and creases when it hit the wall.
To be precise, when the light hits the wall, it seems to be reflected at a slight angle, which is different from the straight line.
But because this angle is so small, almost parallel to a straight line, it is difficult for people to notice it intuitively.
I immediately stepped forward to take a closer look, leaning on the end of the wall and watching carefully.
Then I noticed that there seemed to be something reflecting on the wall, and I reached out and touched it, and the wall was faintly smooth compared to the rough stone bricks around it.
It seems to have been painted with some kind of paint on it, and this kind of thing can reflect the light, and reflect it in a small arc that is extremely imperceptible.
"There's something wrong with this place."
Even though I realized something was wrong, I immediately fumbled around carefully and moved a few meters backwards.
Suddenly, I had a vague feeling that I was crawling through the passage, as if I had touched something.
I looked back in surprise.
But when I looked back, I noticed that the light from the flashlight had actually straightened.
"What is this?"
I immediately climbed back to the corner and felt the wall carefully.
At this point, I noticed that the smooth friction on the wall was gone, and it was replaced by the same rough graininess as the wall next to it.
"No, the walls have changed."
It dawned on me that something was wrong.
There's definitely something wrong with this place.
I immediately took out a pen and paper and simply drew a channel on the paper.
"Because of the light, it is difficult for people to perceive that they have made a vague turn, and the underground space is already closed and narrow, if the turn is not too large......"
I found a straight forward passage and drew a cosmic passage close together, but in an arc of turns.
"So in this place, if I accidentally touch some mechanism in the passage, and I open another passage, then it all makes sense!"
