Chapter XXII: New Rules and Entities
In front of the two of them, the world has changed dramatically.
They turned around, and looked in the general direction of their visit, and the place that should have been the school building was now covered in fog.
If you calculate the distance you climb up, I'm afraid that the entire school building would have to be underground.
He didn't obsess over it, so he looked up.
It was surrounded by trees, and underneath them, the road was covered with grass, which took on an eerie grayish-brown color, and when they were joined together, it only made people feel lifeless.
And the trunks of the trees grew straight and straight until they seemed to have been cut and planned to grow, and in those bushes, most of the trees were half missing, and those trees had only trunks and no crowns, as if they were ...... A burning stick stood there.
The few trees with a canopy are much shorter, and those trees are only at the level of the trunk, and the bushes can almost block the surrounding road, and if they were chosen, those places would never be the way forward.
Chen Qing and the two climbed out of the passage, the temperature around them rose a lot, he stomped on the weeds at his feet, and the two of them headed towards the only path that was stepped out.
After walking for about six or seven minutes, a pass appeared in front of me.
There were many snack bags scattered around the front of the pass, and there was a keypad for entering the code just above the bag.
The keyboard was a number composed of nine keys, but Chen Qing and the others looked back over the pass, but they couldn't see any use for this password.
At the end of the day, it's just a barrier without any protection, even if you don't crack the code...... It's good to go around.
Chen Qing groped around the buildings around this pass, and really couldn't understand the use of the password.
But as he groped, Chen Qing's gaze began to hesitate.
"But...... We don't even know the rules of this place. Jiang Wan's face was a little sad.
She hesitated for a moment and asked Chen Qing, "Do the previous rules also apply here?" This place...... I don't see anything to get out. ”
Chen Qing nodded, touched his chin, and leaned over: "What if we came from one backroom to another?" ”
"What do you mean?" Jiang Wan was puzzled.
"Look at this." Pointing to the bottom of the pass, he continued: "The blood here is different from before, this blood ...... Well, it probably wasn't blood. ”
In the direction of Chen Qing's finger, there were a few plants on those brown grasses that were dyed dull, and if you didn't look closely, they would definitely not be able to be spotted.
"It's ...... What liquids. ”
"I don't know...... But this kind of place. Chen Qing smiled freely: "You don't just get it if you treat it as the blood of some kind of entity." ”
"You're really ......" she shook her head and asked, "Do you want to solve this code?" ”
"Hmmm......"
He looked around, but although he was looking for the password, the environment around him had nothing to do with the password.
Digit? An obtrusive object?
It's not a game.
"Do you want to wait here for a while?"
Chen Qing frowned and refused: "No...... No. This password is definitely not something that can be waited for......"
He pondered, and a phrase came out of his mouth: "She walked on the splendid staircase...... With each step, a self is born at your feet. ”
At that moment, Chen Qing had a realization in his heart, and with that meteor-like thought flashing, he knew the meaning of this sentence.
He looked up, and the cloud top, which should have been a dome, seemed to be close at hand.
He looked at it, and his reflection was in it, and everything was upside down in the sky like a mirror.
With the sight as far as his eyes could see, Chen Qing's cold sweat began to seep out of his pores.
There, in front of where he stood in the reflection, on the empty path in front of him, dozens or hundreds of strange creatures with only half of their bodies and distorted movements appeared.
They are trembling, leaning on one leg and half of their large intestines walking.
They twisted, dripping blood into a river.
A human ...... No, it should be a creature comparable to a human, even if there is more liquid in his body, releasing 8000CC is already the limit.
But they. They have flowed out of a river.
If they are in the midst of that river of blood, and their bodies are covered with sharp blades,
They clung to it, letting the blade stab into their companions.
They walked step by step, only about four or five meters away from Chen Qing's position.
"! Head! The password is on the head! Find out! He exclaimed, which also made Jiang Wan's expression turn pale.
She saw the twisted creatures too, and beside them, there were several pillars standing.
Jiang Wan counted it, and it was exactly eight.
"Password! Is the password eight?! ”
"I know it's impossible!" Chen Qing didn't panic, his eyes were fixed on the eight pillars.
If 1 represents the tallest pillar, the short pillar can be counted exactly 0.5, and the height is exactly in the middle of the tallest pillar.
Represented by numbers, from left to right: 0.5 0.5 0.5 1 1 0.5 0.5 0.5.
"Try it all up!"
"No...... Wrong. The total is 5, if the two 1s are the boundary...... Wrong. Looks like it's missing a number......"
Jiang Wan's face turned white, she had already seen the group of creatures walking in front of her.
She looked at the position in front of her, and the pistol in her pocket was instantly loaded and aimed.
She looked at the position she was aiming at in the mirror, and the trigger was instantly activated with a roar and flames.
But as the bullet in Jiang Wan's hand shook and disappeared, the gunfire in the mirror also burst out, and the bullet moved forward according to Jiang Wan's expected position, and hit the creatures in the expected position.
But do bullets really work when they hit?
They looked down at the large wound on their chest, hesitated for a moment, and then began to move on.
"Half...... Half. ”
Chen Qing lowered his head, and began to realize something in his mind.
"Mirror, sky! The numbers are reversed! ”
He rushed to the place where he had entered the password, but he also unconsciously took a step closer to the physical creature.
He entered the value in his hand, and the creature's claws were already swinging.
In an instant, he watched as a scar appeared on his shoulder out of thin air, and a shackle that imprisoned the entity appeared in the sky.
The creatures were held to the ground in shackles, unable to move.
And the wound on Chen Qing's arm also began to gradually turn gray-brown as the blood flowed out.
The blood that had already flowed to the ground was different, it had become a darker color, blending in with the weeds.
"It seems...... Is this a place where we need to solve puzzles before we can move forward? ”
Jiang Wan watched his wounds heal rapidly, and her heart relaxed a lot.
But listening to Jiang Wan's words, Chen Qing's face trembled a little, and a little wriggling meat vine began to spread around his face.
He listened to the roar in his ears and took out the chocolate energy bar he had just brought from his body.
After a short period of eating, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Wan, "Absolutely not...... Absolutely, absolutely, it won't just be about unlocking the password. ”
He looked a little tired, but considering that the untouchable creatures were only controlled, the two of them did not dare to slack off for a second, and they stepped past them and began to move towards the depths.
After a short walk, the surrounding scene began to change further.
The forest that had once only had a trunk was now in half, and the whole tree had been split in half from the middle, just like the physical creature before.
In the middle of the trees, the pass was different from before, and the coded command that stood there became a ball.
Chen Qing walked up and walked in front of the ball only to find that the ball could turn half a circle in eight directions, and after reaching the key point of the trip, it would automatically return to the middle point.
He didn't think much of it, and immediately looked up at the sky, where the physical creature that had scratched him had reappeared.
Only this time, it doesn't seem to be a celestial unit.
Step by step, they twisted their bodies, their whole bodies, their skins, turned out, as if their socks were worn backwards.
Roll it over until their feet are down, and then they start to walk step by step.
They walked down the stairs towards Chen Qing on the ground, and after only a few seconds, their faces could already be seen on the ground.
The faces of the creatures were so distorted, their facial features were as if they had been stirred by a blender, and the edges of the whirlpools were still oozing a little solution, and every time they moved their bodies, the fluid in their noses and brains began to drip to the ground.
As the solution dripped off, short, thick maggots began to crawl out of the ground, licking the liquid on the ground and beginning to build footsteps for the physical creatures in the sky.
With each step they take, a footprint of insects appears on the ground.
It wasn't until they reached the ground that the maggots began to climb up their bodies.
Crawl deep into their internal organs, crawl deep into their spinal cords.
Crawled to every part of their bodies.
The maggots poked their heads out, waving their bodies in begging for attention.
But on the other side of them, Chen Qing was powerless to pay attention to them.
He looked at the pillars in the sky and counted silently.
From left to right, it is 1, 0.5, 0.5, and after a completely broken stone pillar in the middle, it is 1, 0.5, 1.
Chen Qing closed his eyes and was answering according to Fang Cai's calculation method, and after getting the answer, his eyes fell on the semi-circular ball in front of him.
This semi-circle ball was constantly pushed by Chen Qing according to the up, down, left and right, but it was clear that he had answered correctly, but for some reason he couldn't get a result.
"What's going on......" he frowned, but countless calculations were telling him a reality.
The calculation is correct. That's right.
He looked at the ball in his hand, and the order of the slide was obviously correct......
