After leaving this area, there is nothing new in the layout of the entire hidden floor.
There are only so many turning points that prevent investigators from moving forward, and they are basically concentrated in the area sandwiched between two pillars.
It took them about twenty minutes to walk through the entire mezzanine. Counting from left to right, three people were embedded in the wall.
Only the head of the first man was exposed, and the second man was the previously mentioned victim who was the first to be seen.
His hands and head are outside.
The third person is on the far right, with his hands, feet and head outside.
The same thing is that their skeletons were fixed by a thin layer of cement. The difference is that the three deceased people seemed to have died at different times.
But this is difficult to achieve in theory.
Chen Qing frowned and touched the third man's skeleton. His body was the same as the first two. Both were completely shriveled up. Thanks to the completely closed environment, he was transformed into a skeleton through natural decay and decay. , no mosquito bites.
Therefore, a faint layer of flesh and blood remained on his bones.
Chen Qing frowned, recalling the deceased he saw downstairs before. His whole body was covered in the wall, and no part of him was exposed.
Is he part of the rules here too?
He looked forward and focused on that sentence again.
Again, there is no turning back.
Jiang Wan looked at his strange expression and guessed something in her heart: "Do you think that sentence represents more than one rule? It is also related to these corpses?"
Chen Qing nodded and then said "hmm".
"Yes. In fact, the truth is very simple... If the deaths of these people are meaningless, they should be lying in a corner somewhere, or tearing their fingernails and bleeding a lot of blood in front of the elevator door.
But none of them... they were killed here by the perpetrator... Since the perpetrator made them like this, doesn't it mean that he must have his own reasons? "
He thought for a while and said to himself: "Maybe it's the order?"
He closed his eyes and recalled his previous judgment.
"The number downstairs is zero, which means he was the first life to be killed.
Then from left to right are two, three and four.
Since there is no turning back..."
He was silent for a moment before continuing: "There is no turning back in life, because those who die are truly dead."
He raised his head and looked at the four skeletons in front of him.
"There is no turning back in this world..."
He looked at the skeleton in front of him and slowly stretched out his hand.
He held the skull, and the hollow skeleton with some light green traces suddenly ignited a will-o'-the-wisp at this moment.
That might be phosphorus ignited at body temperature.
He didn't care.
He looked at the skeleton in front of him, turned his wrist slightly, and a head lit with flames was held in his hand.
"You kill me...you kill me!"
But at this moment, the jaw of the skull he was holding dropped.
Hearing the words ringing in his ears, he looked at Jiang Wan with a bit of shock in his eyes, but he saw that she was also full of shock.
That sound definitely didn't come from the skeleton, it was the sound that echoed throughout the mezzanine and the entire mezzanine.
The sound echoed in the empty back room.
"You killed me! You killed me!"
His words became clearer and clearer, and the words in his mouth became particularly vicious.
Chen Qing looked at the head in his hand, and the flames in the eye sockets of the head began to dim.
"Let's go!" Chen Qing frowned, immediately took Jiang Wan's hand and ran towards the middle area.
"Quick! When you see the head, shoot and break his spine! I want his head!"
As he walked, words came out of his mouth. He was a little anxious, which could be heard in his tone.
Jiang Wan's heart sank a little as she listened. She listened to the roaring that gradually became clearer and louder, and the hairs on her back began to stand up.
She clearly felt someone behind her staring at her, someone...
She lowered her head, and at some point, the skeleton in Chen Qing's hand had turned around and was looking at her.
It keeps laughing.
Even if its mandible is gone, even if half of his face is missing.
But Jiang Wan had a clear feeling that it was looking at her and laughing.
She felt cold in her heart, but she also pointed the gun at the second skull's head.
After a gunshot, the head's eye sockets also burned with will-o'-the-wisps.
But when he lowered his head, the skull in Chen Qing's hand was now only a flame the size of his thumb.
At such a speed, it is absolutely impossible to reach the first head and then bring it back.
Chen Qing frowned, but just a moment later, he pulled Jiang Wan and turned around.
"That's it. That's it!"
His tone was much calmer, which was the real reason for that sentence.
"There is no turning back! That's why we have to find out the turning point!"
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, then followed Chen Qing's thoughts and understood everything.
"That's it...that's it."
She muttered, and after more than ten steps, the two of them turned around for the first time at the turning point.
"Because there is no way back in the world, so they can't go back. The way to go from the third head to the second head is wrong! So it doesn't have enough time!
But if we use turning points to save distance! We can end this before the will-o'-the-wisp burns out! "
Her voice became louder and louder, and Chen Qing's feet began to move faster and faster.
He heard the roar in his ears and approached him. The sound that shook the entire mezzanine seemed to be right next to him at the moment.
The sound source even shook the ground a little.
But he was still rushing forward, regardless of whether he might be going in the wrong direction.
He looked at the head in his hand and grinned, and he smiled too.
He threw the head in his hand in the direction in his memory, let go of Jiang Wan's hands, and began to run forward.
"shot!"
He roared, but Jiang Wan was stunned.
"I can't see the target!"
"Then go for my head!"
He shouted loudly, and pointed to his head with his finger before the figure entered the fog.
"exist……"
His voice also lost its source the moment the figure disappeared.
But Jiang Wan watched his movements and followed his example and closed her eyes.
She sighed, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"You brat. Sister, I don't even believe in my shooting skills..."
She muttered, and gunshots and flames rang out in the back room again.
With a roar, the fog in the entire back room began to subside.
They stood still, Jiang Wan's pistol still pointing in the direction of Chen Qing.
In the direction where the gun pointed, Chen Qing lowered his head and smiled.
"As expected."
He yelled, and now after the silence, the two people's voices seemed a bit loud.
"Is this the entrance to the back room?"
They walked to the second skeleton. Under the skeleton, there was a cave that had obviously been created recently.
They looked inside but couldn't see anything.
Very black, beyond the color spectrum and all black.
This is a conceptual blackness, similar to a black hole.
Chen Qing checked at the entrance of the cave for a moment. He looked at the tiny triangular sign in an inconspicuous corner, and his heart suddenly tightened.
Why, why have I been here before?
Why did he appear in the back room controlled by the foundation?
Before myself...
Just as he was thinking, Jiang Wan's hand smoothed his forehead at this moment.
"What are you thinking about, your brows are wrinkled like this."
Her hands were a little cold, not warmed by the fire just now.
It's just that the coldness seems particularly comfortable at this moment.
At least it makes my eyebrows feel a little better.
"No...nothing."
He shook his head, smiled and took a step back with a blush.
Thanks to the dark environment, at least his appearance was not seen by Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan also walked to the edge of the cave. She turned slightly sideways and looked inside, but when she looked at it, she suddenly frowned.
"Chen Qing? Look, are there any words here?"
She said softly, and Chen Qing also came to his senses.
He quickly stepped forward and rushed to Jiang Wan's side. He looked over the girl's figure and saw that those few lines of writing were right above the cave.
If you look inside from the perspective of an ordinary person, you will never see it.
It was because Jiang Wan happened to raise her head that she could barely see the refraction of light in the cave.
He looked at those lines of words and began to ramble.
Those few lines are written like this.
“Time cannot be detected, and visitors should not leave footprints.
There is no trace of inquiry, and everything is tied to a thin line.
Records are for truth and time will always be trustworthy.
Listen, you can only live if you have numerous records and can be at the forefront. "
He looked at those few lines of words, and it seemed that every sentence had a meaning.
But when I take it apart, I don’t know what each sentence is explaining.
He looked at Jiang Wan and asked again: "If you take this step, there will be no turning back."
She smiled and asked him instead: "From the first day you chose me, there was no turning back."
The two of them smiled and stepped onto the entrance of the cave. The two of them took steps and their figures completely disappeared in the mezzanine.
…
When the two woke up again, the world in front of them had changed.
It was a land of green mountains and green waters, with old people and children chatting on the banks of the stream. Under the mountains, there was a classical earth building building.
The earth building is an ancient ring-shaped building, built entirely of loess.
On the loess, wooden display windows are arranged neatly on the wall.
Further up, the top of the earth building is not capped.
The top is flush, but there seems to be room for a person to stand on.
"Is it a rooftop?" Chen Qing was a little curious. This was also the first time he saw an earth building.
In the center of the round building is a door that opens inwards.
The door was open at the moment, and the latch on the door was half a meter thick.
Is this really a door latch?
It's appropriate to call it a pillar.
The two of them were surprised, but they were also observing the elderly and children around them.
"This back room is so weird..." She whispered, leaning her head against Chen Qing's ear.
"Who says it isn't?" But at this moment, the person who answered her was not Chen Qing.
