Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 126
That kind of terrain is also known as the Hanging Soul Ladder, and people who enter it will find themselves circling in circles in one place.In fact, this is a digital model with a complex structure. It looks like there is only one staircase in it, but it actually extends in all directions.Among them, some kind of mark is often used as bait.The marks are actually gradually deviated on the steps. In addition, these steps and stone walls may have been painted with a kind of paint that absorbs light based on ancient secret recipes, making it even more difficult for people to recognize the direction. Once you pay attention to this information, it will make people feel Making mistakes in logical judgment, thinking that you are walking in a straight line, but actually walking on a side road without knowing it, going around in circles on the side road, and finally losing your sense of direction completely. designed for the illusion.

Master taught me how to break this hanging soul ladder a long time ago.But I looked at the environment here and shook my head.The Hanging Soul Ladder has several necessary conditions.First of all, there must be a mark that can mislead you; second, the hanging soul ladder must be extremely wide, so wide that the entrants cannot feel the edge; last and most important, there must be an absolute light environment. If there are particularly good lighting effects, there is no point.

While I was still thinking about it, Anya had already proposed the idea of ​​the Hanging Soul Ladder.I immediately rejected her, "The three conditions here are not met, there are no misleading marks, and the tunnel is not very wide. The most important thing is that the light here is very good. We will not have the situation of unconsciously going astray at all." .”

"Then what do you think is going on? Is there really a ghost?" Anya looked at me nervously and said.

"There are ghosts for sure, and I don't know the specifics." I thought for a while and said, "Well, let's go on the other side. This time, everyone pays attention, and turn on the flashlight to see if there is any fork in the road."

After hearing this, the few people really had no other choice. They first left a mark on the ground, and then they all followed me forward.My eyeballs were about to pop out along the way, for fear of missing any confusing fork in the road.But when I saw the mark left here again, I was completely dumbfounded.I can be sure that there is no fork in the road at all.In fact, it is really easy to confirm whether you have gone through the fork.This tomb passage is very narrow, and it is a bit crowded for two people standing side by side.As long as the three of us walk side by side, if there is a fork in the road, one of them will definitely be squeezed.

After returning to the same place again, Slater looked very bad, and muttered English that I couldn't understand. Claude heard his words and went to persuade him.Who knew that Slater suddenly shouted out explosively.Pushing Claude away at once, he rushed forward again.After a while, I saw Slater appearing from behind.After he saw us, the expression on his face became even more distorted, and he rushed over without stopping at all.Not long after, Slater reappeared behind us.He yelled even more terrified, just like that, Slater ran for an unknown number of times, and in the end, Slater, who was so tired and almost collapsed, was knocked down by Claude.

Slater lay panting on the ground, his eyes full of horror.The expression on Anya's face was not very good either. She went to comfort Slater and found me again, "Zhao Jue, if this is really a ghost hitting the wall, what can you do tomb robbers? Try that Method."

Although I want to tell her, I think this is probably not something that can be changed by my three-legged cat's Taoism, but I still decide to give it a try, after all, there is no other way right now.Thinking of this, I held my breath and concentrated on running the Sanyang Jue silently.Soon the whole body was full of yang energy, and the Sanwei Zhenhuo was burning blazingly.

"Five thunder warriors, the train general, soaring to the ground, driving the thunder and rushing to the clouds, fighting thousands of troops, commanding the magic soldiers, raising the flag and summoning urgently, without stopping. Urgently like a law!" I chanted the flag-raising mantra, At the same time, he took out a small bell from his waist and threw it into the air.Suddenly there was a faint sound of wind and thunder echoing in the tomb passage.The next moment, phantoms that looked like thousands of horses and horses appeared in the sky, and thunderous momentum rushed up.Go straight to the depths of the tomb.I secretly prayed in my heart for the blessing of the patriarch, that it must be successful.But after a while, the last thing I wanted to see happened.I saw the phantoms of thousands of troops rushing from behind us.

Just like that, the phantom ran back and forth three times before disappearing.Anya stood there looking at me blankly, as if she was shocked by my methods, but seeing the expression on my face again, she seemed to understand something.

"No, my method doesn't work." I shrugged helplessly and said, "Either there are no ghosts here, or there is a thousand-year-old demon. If it is the latter, we should wait here to die."

At this time, Claude T from behind suddenly yelled.Immediately afterwards, I saw him holding up a submachine gun and talking to us.I jumped, thinking Claude was crazy too.But Anya waved her hand, motioning for me to lie on the ground.

"What is he going to do?" I asked strangely.

"What he means is that there may be some clever mechanism here, or some hallucinogen in the tomb passage. He wants to fire a bullet to try it out. No matter what mechanism or hallucinogen, the bullet will It won’t be affected.” Anya said that she was lying on the ground, “but—just in case, if it’s true—then the bullet might come from behind.” When she said the last sentence, Anya was obviously very nervous. hesitate.Although this kind of situation is generally impossible to happen, once it happens, it almost means that we are completely trapped here.That is admitting to a dead end.

I shook my head and told myself desperately that that kind of situation would not happen here.There must be some mechanism that confuses us.There is absolutely no dead end of misunderstanding in the world!Before I could get this thought out of my mind, the sound of bullets had already been heard.I could clearly see a tracer flashing across the darkness ahead.About a second later, there was the clang of bullets behind us.As soon as I turned around, I saw Claude squatting down a little stiffly.With a bullet in his hand, it looked strange and desperate at this moment.

Claude, who was holding the bullet, also sat on the ground all of a sudden.He opened his mouth wide and looked at the bullet in his hand, but didn't make a sound for a long time.Anya and I looked at each other, and we could see a trace of despair on the verge of collapse in each other's eyes.Something seemed to creep between us, and I yelled, "Impossible! There must be something wrong!"

My yelling didn't actually mean that I thought of anything, but I couldn't let this atmosphere spread.But the silence after the shouting was even more terrifying.I gritted my teeth and said, "This can't be an unsolvable endless loop. If that's the case, where did we come in from? There must be a point! Everything is entangled in that point! There is also There are a lot of murals, let’s take a look at the murals. Maybe we can find a solution from them. The worst result, we still have two hundred catties of dynamite! At worst, we can blow up a path alive!”

As if inspired by my words, the eyes of several people eased a little.But I also know it's only temporary, and if I don't find something substantial, they'll still be desperate.Thinking of this, I began to observe these murals.I followed Master the last time I came, and I didn't pay attention to the murals along the way.I was busy on my way before, so I didn't care about the murals.At this moment, immediately turn on the flashlight and start to observe carefully.

Although the situation is urgent, after I carefully inspected the murals, I couldn't help but look at them engrossed.There is indeed something on the mural.Seems to be the site of an ancient priestly totem.The ancient people seem to be the kind of savages in the savage age, they are paying tribute to the wild beasts.Looking at the murals, I have a feeling of confusion. Yes, the main body of the murals is not human beings, but more beasts.It's almost like a regime composed of beasts is recording the events of their slaves paying tribute.
