Chapter 268: The Stairway That Never Ends
"So go find the exit to the labyrinth, intelligent human. ”
The mellow sound gradually faded into darkness, and tranquility became the main theme of the labyrinth, and the whole world shrouded in pitch black colors was only the sound of the breathing of Konelius and Croft.
"The Minotaur Labyrinth?"
Before Crove could react from the stunned fact that he was still in Greece just now, why did he run into the maze now, the audience in his live broadcast room had already reacted,
"The Minotaur Labyrinth, the labyrinth built by Minos, one of the three giants of the underworld and the supreme ruler of the First Hell, shouldn't it be called the Cretan Labyrinth?"
"It's just a different name, the Minotaur Labyrinth and the Cretan Labyrinth all refer to the same labyrinth, and please note that although Minos became a god of the underworld after his death, his personality is not ranked among the gods of the underworld, Hades, the creator of hell Hecate, the queen of the underworld, Persephone, the god of death, Thanatos, and the goddess of the night Nix and the god of darkness Erebos, the primordial god couple, which of their personalities is not above Minos? The title of the Big Three of the Underworld is just a name in anime, and there is no such name as the Big Three of the Underworld in real Greek mythology. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the Minotaur's mother, Parsiphae, was the wife of Minos, but the father of the Minotaur was not Minos, but the messenger of the god Poseidon, a nameless bull, which means that Minos's head was crowned with a green steppe ....... ”
"Thou shalt not blaspheme God, thou shalt not blaspheme, thou shalt blaspheme God, say the important word three times. ”
"The Minotaur Labyrinth in the live broadcast room seems to be a little different from the mythical Minotar Labyrinth, I have been to the Minotar Labyrinth, although it is a ruin, it has long been destroyed, but I am sure that there is no such continuous downward stairs in the Minotar Labyrinth, this kind of Labyrinth gives me the feeling that it is not a labyrinth, but a road to a cellar or underground treasure. ”
"Could it be that the Minotaur Labyrinth was walked out once, and the method of getting out was also widely disseminated, so the Minotaur rebuilt a new Labyrinth?"
“......”
In the YouTube live broadcast room, a group of viewers had a heated discussion, and in this era, anything that has anything to do with mystery can arouse the public's interest.
Konelius shoved his phone and live streaming machine into Croft's hand, then took a step forward and slowly descended the stairs.
"Wait for me. ”
Croft hurriedly followed.
Although he was ninety percent sure from the Minotaur's words that he was affected by this mysterious man, in this situation, he had no choice but to follow Konelius closely, and he could not stay here alone and face the darkness.
The clatter of feet and stairs came from beneath him, into the darkness that could not be dissolved, and there was no more sound, as if some invisible beast was greedily absorbing all sounds.
Croft, who was following closely behind Konelius, tightened his collar, and the body hair on his body stood on end, as if he was now filming a horror movie.
In order to ease his nervousness, he boldly asked, "Your Excellency the Transcendent, how long do you think we will have to get out of this labyrinth?"
"I think you should ask how long it will take you to get out of this ladder. ”
"Don't you notice you've been gone for more than half an hour, I see you're about to fall asleep. ”
"The picture hasn't changed for more than half an hour, and if it weren't for the good configuration of my computer, I would have to wonder if I was stuck, and kept looping the same picture. ”
"I think you're going around in circles, too. ”
“......”
In the live broadcast room, some netizens reminded in the comment area that Crof, who was in the maze and was suppressed by the terrifying atmosphere, may not have noticed the problem, but the audience who had been staring at the computer noticed the problem.
Seeing these comments, Croft moved his eyes up to the time on his phone, chuckled in his heart, and quickly said the discovery of netizens in a respectful tone, "Your Excellency the Distinguished Transcendent, we seem to have walked for more than half an hour, is there something wrong with this ladder?"
As soon as he reminded him, Cornelius also reacted, he stopped in place, thought for a moment, then bent down and rubbed his fingers the blue-black slate, and the slate was recessed into a small piece, and he spoke,
"Let's keep walking. ”
He stepped on the next step again, and Croft hurriedly followed.
The silent staircase was still quiet, and the invisible darkness lingered at the end of the staircase as far as they could see, but no matter how they went, they never came close to the darkness that shrouded the end.
On either side of the staircase, there was an eternal pitch blackness, as if the darkness that could swallow all colors towered over the two of them.
Looking at the darkness, Croft had a strange feeling, he felt that behind the darkness, there were a pair of huge eyes, staring at them with a greedy gaze, waiting for the moment of his death, and then swallowing him in one gulp.
"No need to go. ”
Cornelius stopped, looking down at the ground.
This is...... Croft looked at the small piece of stone that had been sunken down, the marks that the mysterious man had pressed on the stone slab before, and we went back to where we were? But how could it be, we had been going down all the time.
"What kind of bizarre event is this, it doesn't make sense at all. ”
"In this world now, can you go down the stairs all the time in a circle?"
"It's a world full of mysteries, and I don't think it's strange what happens. ”
"Ghost hitting the wall?
"Morbius belt?"
"Klein bottle?"
“......”
The comments in the YouTube live broadcast room poured out like a volcanic eruption, and many newcomers also eagerly discussed it, and all kinds of speculations surfaced.
Cornelius took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, and threw a punch at the pitch black on his right.
The knowledge he received from Athena, the goddess of wisdom, did not contain any such moves, so he was free to play with them.
The golden light pierced the darkness, and the stairs appeared in a square shape in their field of vision, and the downward stairs were linked to the upper stairs in a form that was incomprehensible to the three-dimensional creatures.
Thinking of themselves in a higher dimensional perspective, they seem to be on a square plane.
"It's ...... Penrose Steps?"
