Chapter 288 Creation and Destruction
Because it is simply laid, there are some potted plants and empty vases, but other than that, there is basically nothing else here, not even a compartment.
However, as we walked through the ground full of dust and blood, we soon saw several wooden stakes standing in the middle of the attic, and some sandbags with broken buttons hanging there.
It seems that this is the martial arts hall in the attic, which is the place where Monk Lei Yun and his subordinates used to learn martial arts and practice martial arts. No wonder it is so empty.
The blood stains on the ground are distributed linearly, passing through the wooden piles in the center of the hall, and then extending towards the opposite stairwell.
Obviously, Xie Yuting and others, like us, saw that there was nothing on this layer, so they directly chose to go to the next floor.
However, what is slightly different between us and Yuting is that we have to see what projection is left on this layer of the light emitted by the dragon mirror below.
To our disappointment, when we came to the front of the two crystal lenses on the ground, we found that this was not the last layer of light projection, and there were also such two crystal lenses on the fourth floor above our heads.
Turning around the lens twice, Nie Chuan said, "*, you see, this lens doesn't seem to be flat, like a convex lens."
I squatted down and touched the mirror and found that as Nie Chuan said, the crystal was polished a little raised, which can achieve the effect of concentrating light.
In this way, the projection of the dragon shadow will be smaller by this convex lens and then projected to the above floor.
Looking at the small Tenglong pattern in the convex lens, I fell into deep thought.
But why on earth? I still can't figure it out.
It seems that if you want to know the answer, you have to look at the upper layers.
We circled around the convex lens a few times and found nothing else, so we seized the time to continue to follow the blood stains to the fourth floor.
However, when we came to the entrance of the stairs on the fourth floor, we saw several deep marks on the wooden wall.
This notch seems to be a symbol, consisting of two horizontal and two verticals, which is a bit like a Chinese mani character.
"well?" Daxiong pointed to that word and looked at me with doubtful eyes.
"Is there a well on it? But it's on the fourth floor. How can there be a well? Nie Chuan answered.
I touched my chin and looked at the very rough mark.
always gives me a sense of warning, but what is it warning us about? Be careful of falling into the well?
Is the attic on the fourth floor empty? If you are not careful, you will fall down, so you wrote a tac-tac.
"*, what do you say?" Nie Chuan frowned at me.
I thought for a moment and said, "Go on, but be careful, especially under your feet, and don't step on any traps and fall down."
Nie Chuan nodded and then gave Daxiong a wink. The three of us walked together to the narrow staircase.
As I walked up, I thought about the well character just now, and I always felt that something was wrong.
After walking so absent-mindedly for five minutes, I found that we had taken five stairs in a row.
Of course, the other two also found this and stopped one after another.
Ne Chuan almost wrinkled his eyebrows into a line and said to me, "*, this staircase..."
When I didn't finish listening to him, I suddenly flashed in my head, patted my forehead and said, "Oh no! What we see is not a tac!"
Nie Chuan was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice, "That...what's that?"
"It's stop, stop!" I said.
"Stop?" The two widened their eyes at the same time, and then Nie Chuan said, "Do you mean that the person who gave the signal means that we should not enter the stairwell, which means to stop?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, although the two words are made up of two horizontal and two verticals, I didn't write this word well because the person who left the signal was in a very urgent situation, but do you remember that the vertical on the left did not pull out of the bottom. This is what I have been worried about."
"Well... we've come in. What should we do?" Nobita seemed a little panicked.
Looking at the top of the stairs and the bottom from the escalator, I found that we are now in a position where we can't see the exit above and below, and we have walked five consecutive stairways. The distance between the two floors can't be so long.
"We are trapped in the stairs." Nie Chuan said.
I nodded and said, "Yes, it's not as simple as ghosts."
Daxiong was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean? What is not a ghost wall?"
After thinking about it, I found a staircase and sat down and said, "Do you remember that in Heizhugou and Lop Nur, we all met such a maze that we can't go out. This is definitely not accidental."
"You mean that the maze in these three places is related?" Nie Chuan asked.
"Yes, but unlike the previous two times, I used to suspect that this was a clever ecstasy method such as eight arrays or strange escape armor, but when we were in Lop Nur, we already knew that this maze may not be dead, and we may be in the body of a living thing." I analyzed.
Nie Chuan nodded and said, "Yes, but *, do you really think these places are related? Why?"
I nodded and said, "The clue is the mark left at the entrance of the maze."
"mark? What's wrong with that mark? The two looked at me at the same time.
"The people who entered the maze are lost. How can they go out and leave a mark on us? There is only one possibility that the person who left the mark before entering the maze knew that it was a maze, so he left the mark first. I said.
"But what does this mean?" Nie Chuan still doesn't understand.
I smiled and said, "Haven't you see that every adventure we have actually had something to do with Yuting? When we were in Heizhugou, we went to reconcile with Yuting. Boss Wu, who led us when Luo Bubo was entrusted by Xie Yuting to bring us, and this time, it was also planned by Xie Yuting.
Without waiting for them to speak, I said, "At the time of Heizhugou, Xie Yuting said that his grandfather had entered the ruins, so he knows the maze like the palm of his hand. Although Xie Yuting did not participate in person, we found his men in the secret room of the maze, which showed that he also knew the maze very well. And this time, he can leave a mark on the people behind before entering the maze. Obviously, he also knows the situation ahead very well.
Hearing this, both of them opened their eyes.
I smiled and said, "You don't have to be so surprised. In fact, you have already noticed that every action seems to have been arranged by Xie Yuting in advance."
Speaking of this, Nie Chuan sighed and said, "*, it turns out that you have already found that Xie Yuting seems to have been using us all the time."
I smiled bitterly and said, "What can we do? We are not willing to be used by him now."
Nie Chuan shook his head and said, "I always feel that this is not exactly the case." Utilization is a derogatory term. This kind of behavior generally refers to deceiving others to do something beneficial for ourselves, but many times, Xie Yuting has almost put his life in and has not seen him get rich and promoted. Is this really called exploitation?
I touched my chin and said, "Maybe it would be more appropriate for us to use the word guide?" He is taking us to find a secret step by step, and this secret is exactly what we want to know, so we are willing to follow him.
At this time, Nie Chuan shook his finger and said, "It's not Xie Yuting who is guiding us, but the organization on his head."
"What kind of organization is that organization marked by flames?" I said to myself.
"Actually, I used to be puzzled, but when I saw this sign of thunder and lightning, I seemed to understand something. Fire, ice and thunder are all common elements in nature, three elements with infinite destructive power and infinite creativity. It's like the gods of creation and destruction, and now, these three gods have appeared in front of us one after another. When Nie Chuan said this, there was a strange light in his eyes.
