Chapter Eighty-Five: The Mist
In the thick fog, a black shadow gradually emerged from far to near, from small to large.
Stepping out of the thick fog, Gehr looked at the towering white stone tower in front of him, his face unusually solemn.
This is already the third time.
When Gehr first tried to walk in a straight line and successfully walked out of the fog, he saw this scene before his eyes.
The square tower made of white stone is majestic, with two floors and three sections of six floors, which are reduced in the same proportion from bottom to top, and the surface of the tower is carved with intricate and dense lines, which shine softly even in the dark night.
At the foot of the tower is the ground of the huge square, paved with delicate black marble and white marble, and every ten meters or so there are exquisite statues, including warriors on war horses, scholars thinking with books, and all kinds of fierce beasts.
Gehr tried to touch a few of the statues, cold and hard, completely metal and stone, and the touch was very real.
But Gehr doesn't feel any positive emotions about the sight in front of him.
After seeing the tower from the fog for the first time, Gehr walked straight out of the tower from two other random directions, and the results were the same as the first time, directly in front of the tower.
"Simulate the previous path of travel and play it back. ”
"The path of travel is simulated, and now it's playing. ”
Gehr's vision suddenly changed to a three-dimensional figure composed entirely of lines, and one of the bold and red-dyed straight lines was the path he had traveled before, and from the diagram, he had just been walking outward along the straight line, without any deviation.
But the phenomenon of walking in a straight line and returning to the same position here is no longer explained by common sense.
Gehr frowned, looked around, and saw a familiar strip of white cloth on the strange statue of the sheep-headed man not far to the left, which he had specially cut from his coat and tied to the statue before leaving for the second time.
"Did you notice anything unusual?" asked Gell in his heart.
"No anomalies were noted. The cold mechanical sound gave Gell an answer that made him not very happy.
Flutter flutter flutter ......
At this moment, there was a flapping of wings, and a black crow flew from the statue on the right, resting on the statue's head, and its red eyes looked at Gehr with wooden eyes.
As with the previous two times, it was the first and only living creature he ever saw after stepping out of the mist.
The crow didn't call, but just stood quietly on the statue, quietly.
Gehr glanced at it, ignored it, and continued to think about the problem he was facing.
The basis of the analysis of the biological brain comes entirely from Gehr's own senses, that is, only Gehr sees, hears, The normal sensations of smelling or touching all kinds of bodies can provide information that can be analyzed, and now he seems to be pulled by something mysterious, and he will return here no matter how he goes, but he is obviously walking in a straight line, so the most likely cause of this unreasonable situation is that there is a force that blinds all his senses, making him think that he is walking in a straight line, but in fact he is only going in circles in the fog.
An eerie atmosphere enveloped the square, and each statue had its face facing where Gehr was, as if it was watching him all the time, and it seemed that behind the door of the tower there was a large mouth waiting for him to enter, already showing its sharp fangs.
This absolutely tranquil environment really makes people's scalp tingle, even if they are as resolute as Gehr, they unconsciously take two steps, trying to shake off this feeling of weight on their hearts. But the sound of small footsteps produced by these two steps can actually produce echoes in this square, rippling back and forth, which inevitably makes people's hearts hairy.
"Since you want me in so much, then I'll come and see what you are!"
After all, Gehr is not the kind of person who will sit still and wait for death, and since the back road has been cut off, then keep moving forward and break a way out.
Having made up his mind, Gehr immediately abandoned all unnecessary hesitation and walked straight to the tower along the stone path surrounded by statues.
Squeak ......
When Gehr crossed the stone path and came to the tower gate, the brass gate, with its elaborate sheep's head carved motif, opened to the sides with a tooth-shaking sound, revealing the empty hall to Gehr.
Ignoring this situation, Gell walked into the hall through the open entrance and looked around.
Nothing.
There is no furniture, no decoration, no carpet, not even chandeliers and wall lamps, but the hall is not dark at all, and the soft white light from nowhere illuminates the entire hall, illuminating the walls, ceilings and floors full of abstract patterns composed of countless intricate lines, has a mysterious and gorgeous beauty.
However, Gell was not in the mood to look at the strange surroundings of the hall, and his attention was entirely focused on a white illusory figure at the entrance of the hallway at the back of the hall.
The white figure resembles a 3D projection with very poor image quality, and its face is blurry, but it can be roughly seen that it should be a female figure in a white robe, and at the same time it seems to be fluttering without the slightest weight.
She glanced at Gehr.
I don't know what the road is, Gehr suddenly had this feeling, and then he saw the white figure float into the passage behind him, disappearing.
"Brings up a visual image record from the time you enter the hall to the present. ”
"The recording is complete, and now it is playing. ”
With the cold sound of machinery, a box that seemed to be a surveillance image occupied a corner of Geer's field of vision, the same room with the same lights and lines, except for the white figure.
Gehr carefully looked at the image record of a few seconds several times, but it was still blank, and there was nothing. This made him feel more and more insecure.
No matter how strong he was in the face of an enemy, he was not afraid, but this kind of thing that was completely beyond common sense and had never encountered it before made it difficult for him not to feel ungrounded.
But escape was never in Gehr's consideration, and since the other party had sent a clear signal that he had entered the passage, Gehr, who had no other choice, glanced around again, put his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and walked quickly towards the other side of the corridor.
Stepping on the shiny stone floor, the sound of Ger's lonely footsteps echoed throughout the hall, as if he was the only one left in the entire tower, and there was a faint silence and depression in the air.
The hallway, like the hall, was devoid of any furniture or ornaments, and had the same soft light and intricate textures that came from nowhere, and as soon as Gehr entered the hallway, he saw the white figure in the distance.
The white figure glanced back at him again, then disappeared around the corner.
Gehr did not hesitate, followed directly, and found another white figure around the corner.
The white figure apparently consciously led Gehr around the hallway several times, eventually stopping at the doorway of a room, looking back at Gell in the same motion, and then drifting into the room.
Gehr walked to the door of the room, which was made of wood, looked thick, and was ajar.
The left hand rested on the wooden door, and a delicate feeling peculiar to wood immediately spread from the palm of his hand to Gehr's brain.
With a slight effort, the door was pushed open towards the room.
This room is a simple bedroom, with a large white chuang, a single sofa, a high-back chair and matching desk, and a simple standing hanger in the corner.
Thick pink curtains cover the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and there is an oil lamp on the desk, which, with the light leaking in from the hallway, brightens the whole bedroom without shadows.
However, there is no white figure.
Gehr thought about it for a moment and strode into the bedroom.
The rest of the place was visible from the door, so I walked straight to the curtain.
The curtains seem to be woven of woolen wool, which is soft to the touch, very elastic, and exudes a faint fragrance.
With a single force, the curtain moved along the chute, and a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly appeared in front of Gehr.
Subconsciously, Gehr's right hand on the hilt of the sword instantly exerted force, and most of the sword body immediately left the scabbard, but then the sword body retreated and merged with the scabbard again, because at this time Gehr saw clearly the owner of the pair of blood-red eyes, the crow that had stayed on the top of the statue before, and at this time it was stopping on the edge of the window across the window from Gehr, and the wooden eyes were still looking at Gehr.
Call......
Gehr let out a breath, and his heart that had been suddenly lifted was relaxed.
Crunch......
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of movement in the door behind Gehr.
Suddenly startled, Gell turned around sharply and saw that the door of the largest room that had just been opened was actually closed.
He took a few steps and grabbed the doorknob to pull it open. But it didn't work, only a clicking sound, a strong resistance came from the handle, it couldn't be opened at all, obviously something was bolting the door outside,
Geral's face sank, and he subconsciously turned around and glanced behind him, only to find that the window where the curtains were originally opened had disappeared, and it had become a wall that was no different from the surrounding area, and there was a pattern on the wall, which was the crow that Gehr had seen before, and the blood-red eyes seemed to be shining inexplicably under the light.
Boom!
The crosssword had left its scabbard, and with the dexterity of Gel's wrist, it stabbed straight towards the wooden door.
