"Oops, I've been hit!" Chu Yuxuan looked around solemnly, with a little uneasiness in his eyes.
"This is a ghost attack on the wall. It must be those German devils. They refuse to let us go and want us to stay and be buried with them!" someone in the team shouted.
"What nonsense!" Hong Laojiu shouted loudly: "Didn't you just get a fucking trick? Niubi, you are good at catching ghosts, think of a way!"
Although Peng Jinsheng calls himself a "Corpse Binding Taoist", that is just an excuse for him to deceive and deceive others. Peng Jinsheng walks around the mountain villages all year round. Outsiders just think that he has invited Taoist priests to exorcise ghosts in the mountains. Who would think that he is digging graves under the pretext of exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord. There is too much resentment in this place, and with limited cultivation, I am afraid that it is intentional but powerless!"
"Have you noticed that something is not right around here?" Grandpa said.
"It doesn't matter what you say, no one here is normal!" Hong Laojiu scolded.
Grandpa ignored it and pointed to the sky in the distance.
"It stands to reason that after we have spent so long here, even if we don't get to see the sunrise, there should be some light. But you see, since we came out of the crack, the storm has not stopped, even the dim moonlight Nothing seems to have changed.”
"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at him.
"What we are experiencing now is absolutely not true. Something must have gone wrong to trap us in this endless loop."
"It's that crack!" Chu Yuxuan's expression lit up. "After we came out of it, we were chasing the heels of the Nazi Germans every time, but we kept going in circles. If we ignored those people and just returned, there would be a difference."
"In that case, then go back!" Huo Yuanshan didn't believe in evil.
The cold wind is getting more and more biting, and everyone's physical strength has been exhausted. If they can't find a way out, they will freeze to death here sooner or later. At least they can have a shelter from the wind when they return to the crack.
When they returned outside the crack again, they found that there was fire in the cave.
The group of "selves" were gathering in front of the fire. There was a pot on the fire, and something was cooking steamingly inside. A few others were still pulling the bodies on the ground in the corner.
The firelight illuminated everyone's face, but no matter how you looked at it, there was a hint of evil in their appearance.
"They are cooking cans. Isn't this what we did before?" After everyone hid in the boulder, they were a little at a loss for a while.
When they passed by just now, there was obviously no one in the cave.
"I have been thinking about a question." Mr. Li suddenly said: "How did those Nazi German soldiers die in the cave."
As he spoke, he took out three identical crosses.
"Perhaps you haven't noticed, but I have always kept an eye on it. When we found their bodies in the cave for the first time, the left arm of the owner of the cross was broken, and there were very obvious frostbite on the wound. It was caused by frostbite and inflammation after being injured. In this environment, this kind of wound is difficult to heal and can almost kill him."
"But the first living German soldier we saw after coming out of the crack, that man's arm was intact."
"The surroundings changed after that, and our position went backwards. The next time we met, I saw that the owner of the cross was missing half of his left arm, and the wound was very new, as if it had just been bandaged."
"What do you want to say?" Huo Yuanshan's expression changed.
"It may be hard to believe, but I feel that from beginning to end, we met the same group of people, and what we saw was actually what they looked like in different time periods."
"What are you talking about?" Everyone looked at Mr. Li with some confusion.
"Let me put it this way." Mr. Li pulled out his dagger and carved a line on the stone.
"Normally speaking, it is impossible for a person's arm to grow back after it is broken, and the wound cannot become inflamed and sore immediately, so..." Mr. Li carved three lines in the middle and at the beginning and end of the line. Wire. "The man must have been injured and lost his arm first, and then the wound became inflamed. According to this time, the group of Germans should have gone to the section in front of the crack first, then returned to the crack, and finally died in the crack strangely."
"That's true, but we've obviously been moving forward and haven't turned back like they did!" Chu Yuxuan was puzzled.
"Normally, these things follow such a timeline like this, but what if..." Mr. Li connected the two ends of the line with a large arc. "What if we walk in a circle?"
"How is this possible!" As soon as Mr. Li said this, almost everyone couldn't believe it.
"I know this is hard to believe, but this kind of thing is beyond all of our cognition. But the fact is, from beginning to end until now, it is an endless loop! I don't know those Germans They saw something at that time, but the owner of this cross must have discovered something, so he did something." Mr. Li arranged the three crosses together, pointed to the carvings on them and said, "Maybe he wanted to use this He went to Qihen to verify his guess, but unfortunately he died in the end!"
Although Mr. Li's words are a bit outrageous, now that they are trapped here, there is no other way.
"So, what should we do next?"
"Find the knot connecting the two ends and remove it!" Mr. Li moved his gaze to the crack in the distance: "If my guess is correct, the problem must be in this crack!"
"But now, there is another group of 'us' inside. Once we enter, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Then... kill them!" Mr. Li looked at everyone present.
Killing another group of yourself by yourself is too crazy.
"At this point, I have no choice!"
Huo Yuanshan led people into the crack, and a group of people fired at the group of "himself" with submachine guns.
The unsuspecting people were caught off guard, and several fell down in an instant.
Some people stood up to resist, but were overwhelmed by the dense bullets.
Another massacre.
The gunfire stopped and smoke filled the cave.
The bonfire was broken up, charcoal sparks flew everywhere, and the hot broth mixed with blood flowed out of the bullet holes in the pot noodles, dripping and sizzling in the fire.
More than thirty bloody corpses lay on the ground.
Everyone stood there blankly, looking at "themselves" on the ground, and no one spoke.
Rao was as bold as Hong Laojiu. Looking at himself lying in a pool of blood, his trembling hands tried to light a cigarette, but he broke off one match after another.
"No..." At this time, Mr. Li realized that he was wrong.
If, as he said, they killed themselves who ate in the cracks now, then there would be no possibility of what happened after that.
In other words, it is impossible for them to appear here now, they should all be dead. The moment they kill these "selves" to break the cycle of death, they will also disappear.
This is a paradox that simply cannot be established.
But now they are still standing here, looking at "themselves" dead on the ground.
What's even weirder is that several people were killed by those "selves", and there were two identical corpses on the ground, both front and back existing at the same time! .
This is not a so-called infinite loop at all, but a real problem!
The wind howled outside the cave, and the sky was still dark.
Suddenly, Mr. Li felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
Isn't this what it looked like when you first discovered that there was another group of "selves" in the cave?
When they saw those "selves" standing in the cave, could it be that what they saw then was the scene now? So, are there still a group of me outside at this time?
Everything is still going on and they are still trapped here!
Mr. Li's head was in chaos, and he began to be agitated uncontrollably. His chest seemed to be filled with sand, and endless despair and pain surged in his heart.
It seemed that at that moment, everything lost its meaning.
"Jinjue!"
Suddenly, grandpa's voice rang in Mr. Li's ears, and there was a buzz in his head. It took him a long time to recover from that weird state, as if all his strength was taken away in an instant, and his whole body was exhausted. A layer of cold sweat.
Looking around, everyone seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. Their eyes were twisted on the ground in pain, and they were no different from the German corpses on the ground before.
"There's something wrong in this cave!" Grandpa looked equally ugly, and it could be seen that he was trying hard to stay awake.
They tried to wake others up, but to no avail. And soon, Mr. Li found that his consciousness was blurred again.
"Where are you going?" Seeing his grandfather walking towards the depths of the crack, Mr. Li gritted his teeth and cut his palm with a dagger.
The pain briefly woke him up, and he saw his grandfather holding on to the stone wall in front of him with one hand, stumbling toward the depths of the crack.
Boom! Boom!
There were waves of heavy smacking sounds, and he followed hard, only to see a stone statue appear in the depths of the originally empty crack, and Grandpa was smashing it hard with a piece of gravel. .
The light here was dim, and Mr. Li struggled to light up the flashlight. I saw that the stone statue was completely black, the same size as an ordinary person. It was in the shape of a standing human, with a head and four limbs. But strangely, the head of the stone statue had no facial features. To be precise, it was not a human head at all, but a transparent of rings.
Click!
The stone statue's head was smashed off by his grandfather, and Mr. Li suddenly felt that his mind had regained a trace of clarity and was no longer as chaotic as before.
"I have never seen this kind of stone." Mr. Li looked at the surface of the stone statue. The stone was extremely smooth. It must have been polished artificially. There were also very strange patterns on it, like coiled dragons and snakes. He was dazzled and seemed to see more. It's as if one's soul can be sucked in with just one glance.
"This stone statue is absolutely extraordinary!"
As he said this, Mr. Li reached out to touch it. Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched it, his mind suddenly went into a trance, which scared him so much that he hurriedly backed away.
"Could it be that this thing is up to something?"
