Chapter 41 The never-ending cycle of death

The faces of several people were livid. We looked around, and the more we looked, the more certain we became. There were still our footprints everywhere on the ground. This was indeed the tomb where we just found Shunzi's father. But the strange thing was, how could we Walked back?

The tomb passage is straight. When we walked, we did not turn a corner. Four people and one corpse can prove that according to logic, we will never walk for twenty minutes and then return to the starting point. This is simply unbelievable. It’s like trying to beat a wall.

The fat man muttered a little, looked at the entrance to the tomb, and said, "Did we turn back unknowingly when we left? What a fucking evil thing."

Pan Zi said: "No way. If we go back, it's impossible for the four of us not to know about it. In my memory, we have always walked straight. This tomb passage is not long and there are no forks. There is no reason to remember it wrong. "

The fat man said: "Then it's just a ghost. Shunzi, is your father joking with us? You have to educate it, we are doing business. "

Shunzi was so angry at Fatty: "Stop talking nonsense."

I stopped them. It was really not the right time to argue. I was covered in cold sweat, because I felt that the thing I least wanted to happen might have happened, but I was still not completely sure, so I said, "Don't make any noise." , there is only one way to see if we have really turned back. Let’s go through it again and see.”

Several people looked at each other, and when they saw my expression, they probably felt something was wrong.

What I was thinking about at that time was the expressions of those mummies, that kind of despair. Could it be that they were trapped here and died in this way? There is no food, but no matter how you walk, you will always return to the original room. This is too weird. But my intuition told me that I might have guessed it right, and what trapped them to death has now happened to us as well.

What I had to do now was to prove my hunch, or in other words, I wanted to deny my terrifying hunch, so I couldn't wait to walk into the tomb passage. Others caught up with me.

Because we had walked through it once and were sure there were no traps, we walked very fast this time. I rushed to the front almost at a trot, keeping my eyes on both sides of the road to make sure there were no forks, and I didn't turn back inexplicably.

This time, we ran the entire distance in less than ten minutes. When I felt that I was about to see the end of the tomb passage, I almost kept praying, hoping that my premonition would not come true.

But in the end, when I saw the almost identical jade door, my heart immediately became cold, and cold sweat broke out involuntarily.

After entering the gate, the fat man rushed up to the golden mountain. Then he knelt down and covered his face. I rushed up to take a look, and there were six corpses and all the things we had lined up... We were back again.

My hunch came true. Under the premise of being 100% sure that there would be no forks or turning back, we walked straight all the way and actually walked back to the starting point.

The fat man was tired from running, and gasped: "This is a ghost beating the wall. This is definitely a ghost beating the wall. No matter how we walk, it will be a cycle. Both ends of the tomb passage are the tomb chambers. This time we are going to see Shunzi." Dad. Shunzi, you should tell your father not to play with us, or we will leave him here and go away. "

Shunzi was so surprised that she had no time to talk to him. I was also flustered and kept turning around to look at the walls around me, but I didn't know what I was looking at.

"Calm down! Calm down!" Pan Zi gasped on the side, "Don't mess up. Didn't you yourself, Mistress, say that Wang Zanghai's stuff is just a trick to create psychological pressure at best? We must not know this. Got hit. You must calm down now. Something must be wrong. "

When I told Pan Zi, I suddenly became a Pelican Enlightenment. Suddenly he became more awake, and the feeling of despair suddenly faded away. He nodded quickly and said: "You are right, this must be an agency. We have confirmed it in the undersea tomb, and there is no such thing as a ghost breaking the wall." Wang Zanghai He is good at using ingenious mechanisms to create a strange atmosphere. If you don't know the details, you can easily be led by him." As he spoke, he rubbed his face with his hands to get rid of the suffocating feeling.

I actually said these words to myself. After I finished speaking, I didn’t even know what I said.

When I thought about this time afterwards, I felt that I must have felt that things were out of my control, and wanted to use these words to hint myself not to give up.

Because when I walked down that tomb passage just now, it felt so real. I actually couldn’t imagine how to use mechanisms to realize this phenomenon. The first thing that came to my mind was the movement of the tomb chamber or the tomb passage, but this was impossible. I immediately rejected it. We were not walking slowly. If the tomb could be moved, how fast would it need to be? The tomb passage is even more impossible. If we are in it, as long as there is a little vibration, we can definitely know it. But if it were not for the movement of the tomb passages and tomb chambers, this would be unexplainable.

Although I kept telling myself that this was a mechanism, I actually knew in my heart that something was wrong. This could not be explained by a mechanism. But saying it like this is still good for other people, at least it can reduce panic.

But I underestimated Fatty and their mental endurance. Pan Zi was much calmer than me. He wiped his sweat and asked me: "Whether it's a ghost attacking the wall or an agency, we have to solve it. What should we do now? Do you want to Go again?"

I gritted my teeth and said, "Let's go again! Damn, let's walk slower this time and feel the movement under our feet or around us. I don't believe there are any flaws. "

So we walked into the tomb passage again, this time for forty minutes. We knew we had failed before we even got to the end, because the tomb doors were exactly the same and we felt nothing along the way.

After that, we walked in a few more times, but all ended in failure. Gradually, I felt the despair of those corpses, and the faces of several people became worse and worse.

I felt that going on like this was not an option. After returning to the tomb, I asked them not to leave. Since we had left so many times and we had ruled out everything in our books, this mechanism must have been set up using a method that we could not even think of. of.

The fat man was almost exhausted from exhaustion, but he still insisted on continuing to walk. His idea was that maybe at some point, the previous tomb passage would come back, and then we could escape.

After hearing what he said, Pan Zi only said: "You should give up on this idea. There is absolutely no way that the tomb passage can come back. "

As he said that, he looked at the mummies on the side. The meaning was obvious. Those mummies had definitely walked into the tomb passage more times than us, but they were still trapped to death, so walking through the tomb passage was useless. , it’s no use walking ten thousand times. We don't have to think about such luck.

The fat man immediately stopped breathing, sat down, and said, "According to what you said, aren't we doomed? These people here must have tried everything. If we try it again, it will be useless. "

Pan Zidao: "Don't think about these things. If you think like this now, you might as well kill yourself. Wait until we have done what we can do before we think about desperate things. Now while we still have the strength, let's think of a way. "

I thought about the corpse food and asked, "Should we limit the food now? We must be prepared for a long-term war. The longer we can survive, the greater our chance of going out."

Pan Zi sighed and shook his head: "Little Third Master, to tell you the truth, we are actually not as good as them. We don't have much food. I think we can only eat two meals at most. I don't care if we are full. I don't think there is a limit. What should I do? Eat whatever you want and keep your energy high. I estimate that if we can't get out within two days, there will probably be nothing we can do. Then we should use dynamite. If dynamite doesn't work, then we will wait for someone else to come. Collect the body for me. "

For two days, I trembled in my heart. How long have these mummies been here? Can we go out in two days? There is really no certainty at all.

The fat man's stomach was already growling, so he asked Pan Zi: "Comrade cook, can we start dinner earlier? I'll get rid of the things that distract me first. Then I'll have the strength to think about other things."

When the fat man said that we all felt hungry, Pan Zi had no choice but to light up the stove and cook. In fact, the only food we had was noodles. It was OK when we first ate it, but it didn't last long. The fat man complained that there was no meat. I said there are quick-frozen pork ribs. You can eat them all. If Shunzi doesn’t mind, we won’t mind.

After eating, my whole body felt warm and energetic, so a few people started to think about this thing. I recalled the whole process of going down to the underground palace, which was extremely thrilling. I didn’t expect that I would still be unstable after going down to the underground palace. This underground palace, Wang Zanghai must have There is a design theme, what exactly is it?

The underground palaces are all in the shape of a Hui character. The Spiritual Hall is in the middle and is the place with the strictest regulations. Wang Zanghai must not dare to do anything about it. In other places, the Hui character underground palace is surrounded by burial pits, funerary pits, drainage systems and intricate corridors and tomb passages. So we are still in the extension of the center of the underground palace.

I tried to estimate the vertical and horizontal distances we came down, and used my estimate of the size of the underground palace to judge my position, but it seemed very difficult. We were already dizzy in that underwater passage and didn’t know the direction. Ghost We know the direction of the hole we finally came out of.

While his brain was spinning rapidly, the fat man, who was pretending to think about something, suddenly made an expression of realization and said to us: "I thought of it!"
