Origin

Xiao Qin is an expert in tracking, and her purpose of coming forward is naturally to look for clues to determine which way Zhao Ying and others took.

However, the observation results made Xiao Qin very puzzled, because there were no footprints left on the left and right forks, and there were no footprints left on the forward passage.

"These passages can be moved, and the traces they walked may have been erased by the moving stone walls." Xiao Qin said.

Wang Xinran was not surprised by Xiao Qin's observation and asked Huang Hailin, "What are the consequences of continuing to move forward?"

"There may be other changes in the passage," Huang Hailin said. "The stone walls on all sides may move up, down, left, and right."

Xiao Qin looked at Huang Hailin in confusion, "What is their purpose of building this kind of mechanism?"

Huang Hailin thought for a while and said, "This kind of mechanism has many uses. The most likely ones are two. One is to isolate people who may follow in from behind the sacrificial team through the movement of the stone wall. The other is to isolate those who do not know the correct Trespassers trapped in route of travel.”

Everyone looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. Naturally, no one knew the correct route. If they didn't know the correct route, the consequence of rashly breaking in would be to be trapped and die in this maze.

Huang Hailin added, "I have seen a similar mechanism before, in a large tomb in the Qin Dynasty. The Qin and Han Dynasties advocated thick burials, and the tomb protection mechanism was also the most exquisite. However, compared with the mechanism here, that one is very simple. This kind of mechanism has a great feature. The mechanism itself has no killing ability. After trapping the intruder, the mechanism will force the intruder into another fatal mechanism."

"What is the purpose of this design?" Xiao Qin asked again.

"The purpose is to ensure that the mechanism can always operate normally," Huang Hailin explained. "This kind of mechanism needs to move up, down, left and right. If an intruder dies inside, the body and belongings will be stuck in the middle of the stone wall, hindering the mechanism's operation. Run it again, so after the mechanism traps the intruders, it will force them into a relatively independent space and let the intruders die there."

After Huang Hailin finished speaking, Xiao Qin answered, "That relatively independent space serves as a garbage dump?"

"Yes, but it's not just a garbage dump, but a slaughterhouse and garbage dump. Trespassers are killed or starve to death there." Huang Hailin nodded.

Wang Xinran interjected, "Why can't it be sent there after being trapped to death?"

Huang Hailin said, "Have you ever played a jigsaw puzzle? The mechanisms here are similar in nature to a jigsaw puzzle. Every move of the stone wall will have a chain reaction.

In other words, we often say that one move affects the whole body. If there are multiple intruders, the agency will not have enough space to imprison them. In order to ensure the continuous operation of the agency, after capturing the intruders, the agency will continue to operate. At the same time, force them into that fatal mechanism as quickly as possible. "

"Can you analyze the internal structure and operating principles of this agency?" Wang Xinran asked again.

Huang Hailin shook his head, "It's difficult, I'll give it a try first."

The basis of Huang Hailin's analysis is the dust attached to the stone walls around the main passage. Some of the stone walls in front are covered with dust, and some are dust-free. Based on the distribution of dust, it may be possible to infer and restore the movement of the stone walls when the mechanism is activated.

Xiao Qin reminded from the side, "Outside the copper pillar, three people need to stand on the same step to make the copper pillar turn around. After the copper pillar turned over, four people entered, and then the copper pillar began to rotate on its own."

Huang Hailin was thinking anxiously and did not answer. Wang Xinran said from behind, "You mean the sacrifices here are not large-scale? There won't be many people coming in?"

"Yes," Xiao Qin nodded, "There may be only three people, and there happen to be three passages here. Is it possible that these three passages require three people to walk separately to pass safely?"

While everyone was talking, Wu Zhongyuan remained silent. At this moment, he finally couldn't hold it any longer, "I have a..."

Before Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Wang Xinran raised his hand to interrupt him, and turned to Xiao Qin and said, "It does seem possible, but have you ever thought about it, if it is really what you said, then human sacrifice is ruled out. It's possible that the three people who entered were all voluntary."

"It's also possible that the things inside are not very big, and there isn't a lot of food, and the sacrifices were brought in by three people." Xiao Qin also felt that his inference lacked sufficient basis, and after finishing speaking, he added, "I'm just Guess, just for your reference.”

After Xiao Qin finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan wanted to speak again, but Wang Xinran interrupted him again and said to Xiao Qin, "If we go separately, if the mechanism is activated, we will be separated and the situation will be more dangerous."

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, Huang Hailin waved his hand to signal everyone to stop talking. When he was concentrating on thinking, someone talking beside him was very distracting.

Wu Zhongyuan wanted to speak again, but Wang Xinran pointed at Huang Hailin and signaled him not to interrupt Huang Hailin's observation and analysis.

Wu Zhongyuan really couldn't hold it in anymore and didn't care about it anymore, "I have a question."

"What?" Wang Xinran asked in a low voice.

"How are the mechanisms in these passages triggered?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Only Huang Hailin could answer this question. Although he was a little upset that Wu Zhongyuan was disturbing him, Huang Hailin still answered the question, "Gravity."

"Would it mean that the mechanism would not be triggered if gravity is not sensed?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"What do you want to say?" Huang Hailin turned around.

"Have you forgotten that we still have a bird?" Wu Zhongyuan pointed at the little nigger on Xiao Qin's shoulder.

As soon as Wu Zhongyuan said this, everyone was stunned. They had been worrying about how to pass through the passage before, but they forgot that there was a mynah on Xiao Qin's shoulder, and even Xiao Qin himself forgot.

"Can you let it fly in and take a look?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Okay." Xiao Qin nodded.

Wang Xinran also felt embarrassed about interrupting Wu Zhongyuan many times before, "It has been silent, and we have all forgotten about it."

Huang Hailin was also a little embarrassed, "Yeah, sometimes you still have to make some noise, otherwise it's easy to be forgotten."

Yang Yi smiled and said, "The consequence of making a fuss is to be sent out to die."

While everyone was joking, Xiao Qin took out a hood and put it on the Myna's head. This hood should be tailor-made for the Myna, with several small ropes connected to a small camera device.

After putting on the hood, Xiao Qin pointed to Bage's path and said, "Go."

It could be seen that the little black devil was reluctant to leave his master, but he still carried out the order, flapped his wings and flew towards the passage directly ahead.

After the little nigger flew away, Xiao Qin immediately started timing. Although the little nigger could speak, he couldn't give a complicated description. She needed to estimate the length of the passage based on the time the little nigger left.

Since there is no network underground, the small camera device on the little nigger's head cannot send back real-time images. The situation in the channel can only be seen when it comes back.

Tens of seconds later, the little nigger came back. Seeing that the little nigger looked normal, Xiao Qin raised her right hand and pointed, and the little nigger flew into the passage on the right again.

It also took tens of seconds to go back and forth. The last check was on the left channel, which also took tens of seconds. However, when he came back this time, the little nigger looked very nervous. The nervousness of birds is mainly manifested in panic in the eyes, and the feathers will be fluffy and erected. .

Xiao Qin took off the small camera device on the little nigger's head and took out the mobile phone card to check. The first thing displayed was the scene in the middle passage. The length of the middle passage was about fifty meters. The walls of the passage were not flat and some were There are dents in places, and dust is not everywhere.

The end of the middle passage is a stone wall with no exit and no stone door.

The situation of the right passage is similar to that of the middle passage, and there is also a stone wall at the end.

The last thing I looked at was the image of the left channel. At first, the situation of the channel was not much different from the other two, but this channel has an end. At the end of the channel is a very wide area, which is about a small The auditorium is so big, and there is a strange and terrifying ghost scene inside. Behind the hazy Qiongtai Pavilion, there is a row of hanging corpses...
