Qi Zhen was whispering to Xiao Bai in her heart, but the atmosphere between the three remaining people in the team was somewhat silent.
Zhaka is not usually the kind of person who likes to communicate with others. Seeing Qi Zhen and Zhaka looking like they had eaten dead flies, Nuolan naturally would not take the initiative to say anything.
After passing through the temple of Hercules, the three people came to the clouds.
The scenery here was completely different from what they saw down the mountain. From here on, they finally officially arrived within the scope of the Temple of Olympus.
If the sun was shining, this would be a breathtaking view.
The exquisite palace with many hills and mountains, even if hidden in the night, still made Qi Zhen feel extremely gorgeous.
It can even be said that this is the most magnificent palace complex Qi Zhen has seen in the entire GAMES WORLD.
It's just that the palace complex at this time was shrouded in night, and I'm afraid no one can get a glimpse of the whole picture before the team leaves the game.
People in the palace passed by, but there was no one here. On Mount Olympus, just like below, everything was withered and lifeless.
Qi Zhen was naturally prepared to fight all the Greek gods, but she didn't expect that the palace complex was so deserted, with not a single person visible.
As they continued up the stairs, the scene in front of them gradually changed from the initial stunning to boring. The surrounding palaces began to repeat monotonously, and it was difficult to arouse the interest of the three people.
Until they saw an inverted roof.
According to Qi Zhen's judgment, the location of the three people was probably between two peaks. However, because the surrounding towering peaks were covered by dense buildings, it was difficult for them to determine their location.
Qi Zhen, a building leaning on a hillside, is understandable for the time being, but no matter what, the palace cannot be oriented with its head facing downwards.
Unless the Greek gods have nothing to do.
Qi Zhen raised her head, looked at the palace with her Sharingan, which was very close but actually very far away, and said, "Something's wrong."
The other two people stopped and looked at Qi Zhen.
"Although you can't see it, over there." Qi Zhen pointed to the sky in the distance, "There are more palaces standing upside down in the sky."
"I can still see some weeds and stones in the open space between the palaces." Qi Zhen said in a deep voice, "How should I put it, I can't tell the direction now."
Can't tell the direction? Qi Zhen's words shocked Zhaka.
If ordinary people are road-crazy, they generally cannot find the southeast, northwest, or cannot judge the relative relationship between the destination they want to visit and their current location.
However, Qi Zhen obviously didn't mean this.
His so-called inability to distinguish direction means that he cannot distinguish up and down. From another perspective, it means that he cannot distinguish the difference between the sky and the ground. Theoretically, this thing is almost impossible to happen to Qi Zhen.
Because he has the Sharingan, which is an artifact that can clearly see all illusions.
"Did we just walk into the barrier when we passed through those temples?" Zaka asked.
Qi Zhen shook her head.
If that were the case, he would have noticed something was wrong long ago. Even if he didn't notice it, Xiaobai would remind himself immediately.
Then there is only one possibility left. What he saw was originally like this.
In other words, this is how these temples were originally designed.
The most realistic look, in other words, the world here is originally upside down, and they must rely on their own abilities to find the way up the mountain.
The premise is that they need to clearly distinguish which side is up.
Even in the game world, even in ancient Greek mythology, Newton's laws are still silently and firmly playing a role.
Zhaka stamped his feet on the ground to confirm that gravity was still working. Nuolan curiously picked up the stones on the ground and tossed them upwards.
Snapped.
The stone fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
Qi Zhen said: "You threw it too low."
Then, he himself picked up a fist-sized stone, weighed it in his hands, and then threw it into the sky.
With his current strength, it is still difficult to throw the stone onto the roof of the palace in the sky. It is expected that the stone will exhaust its potential energy and fall to the ground after a certain height.
However, after the stone passed a certain critical point, it flew towards the palace above the head at a faster speed.
With a snap, it turned into a "ground" fragment.
"Then the question is, where should we go now?" Although Zaka couldn't see clearly what was happening in the sky, he heard the muffled sound.
"Keep going along this road, be careful."
Qi Zhen had no good solution. Just like when they were in the underworld, everything ahead was unknown. Before he figured out what was going on, he had no way to break the situation.
We can only take one step at a time.
The three of them went on the road in silence again, but this time Zhaka was already on guard, ready for possible accidents.
As the three of them moved forward steadily, there were more and more buildings in the sky, and the road under their feet seemed to have no end.
At a certain moment, the deep blue sky appeared above the heads of the three people for a long time, as well as the bright color on the distant horizon.
Although they were a little tired, they were still happy to finally see the light of day.
He continued walking like this for a long time.
It had been so long that Nuo Lan had rested three or four times midway, but they still had no hope of getting out.
Finally, when the scenery before Qi Zhen's eyes was almost exactly the same as the one they saw when they first stopped, the three people stopped again.
Qi Zhen scratched her head and looked at the broken stone on the ground that Nuo Lan had thrown to the ground a long time ago, silent.
"I feel like we're going in circles," Xhaka said.
Even though the three of them felt like they had climbed several high slopes and kept going upwards in their senses, they were already going in circles.
Is it an illusion caused by gravity?
Qi Zhen thought about it, but she communicated with Xiao Bai in her heart.
"It doesn't make sense. If we keep going in a circle, then the scene above our heads should be monotonous and repetitive. So where did we enter this circle from? There is no way I can miss the way we came. If we can't even find the entrance, this place can only be a closed barrier, but inside the closed barrier, how can we see the sky? My eyes didn't find anything?"
If Qi Zhen still had a hint of interest in exploring at the beginning, then now, he has begun to become anxious.
This doesn't make sense.
No matter how big this mountain is, it’s really
In a real scene, it was impossible to walk around for so long and still not get out. After ruling out the possibility of illusion, Qi Zhen really couldn't figure out how this scene was constructed.
If you can't rely on your own abilities, you can only resort to plug-ins.
"Möbius strip."
These five simple words made Qi Zhen's heart flash with light.
"Yes!" Qi Zhen slapped her thigh, startling the other two people.
"You understand again?" Zhaka asked doubtfully.
"It's a Möbius strip." Qi Zhen said, and then he frowned again and waved his hand, "No, no."
"The Möbius strip is still a closed loop, which still doesn't explain the problem that I can't find the entrance." He said to Xiaobai in his heart.
"If you find the entrance, you have found the exit." Xiaobai's voice sounded.
"What do you mean?" Qi Zhen asked.
He only knows the concept of a Möbius strip, which is a circle of paper tape made by twisting a piece of paper 180° and gluing the two ends together. Such a paper tape has only one curved surface on one side, and a small insect can crawl on it. across the entire surface without crossing its edges.
The three people in the team are now like the reptile on the paper tape, so even if the distance they travel is far enough, no matter how the scenery in the "sky" changes, they are still traveling in this ring.
But Xiaobai's so-called entrance and exit are somewhat beyond his scope of cognition.
"Do you know about the glove transposition problem?" Xiaobai asked.
Qi Zhen was a little confused and silent.
"Can you put the glove on your left hand on your right hand?" Xiaobai asked.
"cannot."
"Yes, because although the left hand and the right hand are similar, they are mirror images. The left hand can never become the right hand, right?"
"Um."
"But on the Möbius strip, this theory becomes possible." Xiaobai continued, "Think about it, if a glove runs on the Möbius strip, when it appears directly opposite us When the time comes, will the left hand become the right hand?"
Qi Zhen was a little confused.
"Let me put it simply." Xiaobai finally gave up explaining scientific principles to Qi Zhen, "This ring is a non-orientable surface. In this surface, left and right have no practical meaning. Because its other side is hidden , and what you see is both the front and the back. It is both the left and the right."
"so?"
"So the glove is actually just a change in concept and feel. In reality, trying to turn a left glove into a right glove is as slim as trying to take out something in the mirror. You have to put your hand through this 'ring' to get it. What you want." Xiaobai said.
"What does this have to do with the exit and entrance you mentioned?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Stupid!" Xiaobai scolded him: "This means that we came from the other side of the mirror. In other words, if we are now at the entrance of the Möbius strip, then our exit is on our... …”
"At your feet!" Qi Zhen suddenly spoke in surprise.
The two people were shocked again.
"What are you doing?" Zaka asked.
"I found the exit!" Qi Zhen said excitedly.
"Where?!" they both asked in unison.
"Under your feet." Qi Zhen emphasized again.
The expressions of Zhaka and Nolan were even more confused than Qi Zhen just now.
