Chapter 1287: Are we back?
After encountering the treasure hunt party, Lin Ran's journey to the grave was indeed not as smooth as before.
Even if I saw hallucinations before, I could explain them from the perspective of ancient books or physics and chemistry.
After the tomb of the Queen of the Kingdom of Jin, the ancient tombs encountered were more bizarre than the last.
Xu Ning was obviously frightened. He held his dagger tightly in his hand and kept shaking it.
"Don't be nervous." Lin Ran put his hand on Xu Ning's shoulder. He knew that this man was not timid, but just afraid of supernatural phenomena.
But after meeting Lao Hei's body, they continued to move forward. There was no more body in the corridor, but again, except that the road was wider, nothing else was found.
They were a little tired from walking and could not see the end of the darkness.
At Wang Jinpeng's suggestion, I found a place to sit down and drink some water because I needed to calm down.
Lin Ran also put forward his guess: "Let's forget the horrific scene just now, otherwise something terrible may happen ahead."
Even if he said that, after experiencing the horror just now, he would definitely not forget it for a while.
It was Wang Jinpeng who said, "Why don't we think about it from another angle? Let's assume it's just a coincidence. Why do those corpses appear here?"
"They should be craftsmen who dug tunnels." Lin Ran said. He was not just speculating randomly, but considered it from three angles.
First, the tomb door has not been officially opened.
Second, there are no signs of being stolen here.
Third, they have been dead for a long time.
"The craftsman died in the mausoleum, and no one was there to deal with it?" Wang Jinpeng asked again.
In fact, it was not just their corpses, but also some whose names were unknown. Wang Jinpeng initially wanted to compare Huang Hao and A Ming, but found that they did not match the numbers.
Just some people I don’t even know.
Based on this, Lin Ran felt that these hallucinations should be made up to scare them.
But this illusion may not be created based on their subconscious mind, but based on the consciousness of the illusion maker.
He didn't know the existence of Huang Hao and others at all.
If this is true, then this is another ancient killing weapon.
illusionist.
Lin Ran had only heard of this profession in fantasy novels, and he could create illusions with his own will.
Most of the previous hallucinations in the tomb were based on their own experiences. For example, Lin Ran even had hallucinations from his past life.
This kind of illusion is easy to break. All you need to do is break your own inner demons and firmly believe that this is an illusion.
Speaking of which, Lin Ran remembered something.
It was during the hallucination that Liu Yi said to him: "Close your eyes."
Lin Ran told this tip to his teammates, asking them to remember that if they saw a scary scene and couldn't escape, they could try to close their eyes.
Of course, he didn't know how likely this was. Logically speaking, Liu Yi was just his hallucination and couldn't possibly give him so many hints.
Then the conversation returned to the bodies, and they wanted to discuss how they died.
Wang Jinpeng cursed: "You are so boring, what's the point of discussing illusions?"
He had accepted Lin Ran's statement and believed that someone was pretending to be a ghost behind the scenes.
Lin Ran said: "Even if it is an illusion, it may be a reminder. We are recalling it carefully."
The first person they met was Lin Ran, who was piled together with blood flowing all over the floor;
The second person encountered was Wang Jinpeng, who was dropped by the cloth above the cave.
The third one I met was Xu Ning, and the last one was Lao Hei.
According to the discussion of the five elements, they experienced water, wood, earth, and metal respectively, and now the only difference is fire.
Lin Ran was telling his speculation when the light of the flashlight suddenly dimmed.
They were already at a tense moment, but they were all frightened by the sudden dim light.
Lao Hei looked confused and said, "The battery should be almost out."
"How is that possible? This battery can last for at least six hours. It's only been less than an hour since we replaced the battery." Wang Jinpeng didn't believe it and took the flashlight. He thought it was Lao Hei who dimmed the light on purpose. Scare them.
But the flashlight's gear is pushed to the maximum position.
"It's really weird. Is it because of water?"
If this battery runs out, they can only take out the last remaining battery.
We have already reached a critical moment. There is no need to think about how to turn back. It is better to think about how to get out of the corridor first.
Others are thinking the same thing. They are almost running out of power. Do they have the intention to continue to stay?
We must get out of this terrible tunnel before the power is consumed.
They didn't encounter any traps along the way, and they also quickened their pace.
Finally, before the flashlight dimmed completely, I saw the exit.
At the exit, there were some faintly flickering lights.
Seeing the light, everyone slowed down.
"What kind of light is this?" Wang Jinpeng asked. The light in front of him flickered like fireflies.
But how could there be fireflies underground?
Another possibility is will-o'-the-wisp.
The other three were afraid of will-o'-the-wisps, but Lin Ran was not.
Because will-o'-the-wisp is actually a kind of phosphorus fire, phosphorus has a low ignition point and will burn when exposed to high temperatures.
However, the phosphorus fire is blue, but the light in front of me is yellow, flickering.
Their flashlights finally dimmed completely, but with the help of the light, they still walked out of the cave.
Everlasting lamp?
Lin Ran looked at the candle in front of him and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Isn't it the longevity lamp? It seems that we have arrived..." Wang Jinpeng walked out excitedly, but he couldn't say the three words "main tomb" behind it, so he swallowed it back.
because...
What appeared in front of him was the Shimen he had just left.
Looking back at the cave, they entered through the right entrance and exited through the left exit.
There is actually a longevity lamp in the hole on the left, which they had not noticed before.
Wang Jinpeng rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
Lao Hei also noticed the packaging bag on the ground. It was the packaging of the bread they had eaten and threw it on the ground.
After going around in a circle, they were back to where they started.
This passage was designed to deceive people!
Lin Ran was also a little stunned, looking at the stone door in front of him, there were still traces of them sitting on the ground.
Xu Ning could no longer stand, her legs went weak, she held on to the cave wall and slowly sat down.
The scene inside is so terrifying, it's like walking around a haunted house.
Now, he would rather face the monsters outside than go into the cave again.
"How could this happen?" Lin Ran's pupils were also flashing.
The door of life and the door of death are actually connected, which means that no matter which hole you go through, you will eventually come out of the other hole.
Can they only die here?
