[Bottle Evil] The Old Mansion's Strange Story

Poker-face has always been proficient in breaking mechanisms and killing zongzi. I just discovered today that this person is also good at geometry.

He drew a few random strokes, and just divided a circle into seven parts.In fact, there is no such circle, but the angle formed between the sarcophagus and the bronze coffin was drawn by him, and I saw that it meant one-seventh of the circumference.

I felt strange, and Poker-Face pondered for a while, and we measured it again with a compass and a magnetic needle, and it was indeed the case.

We have met the number "seven" once before. It is the largest mechanism in the whole tomb. "Seven out" means that there are seven passages leading to seven different directions.We have to find the only one of the seven that leads to the "backstage" of the agency before we can go out.And I stared at the figure drawn by Poker Fing in front of me, and found that the basic mode of operation of this mechanism is rotation.

Due to the rotation, the sarcophagus, which originally complied with the Yin-Yang, Five Elements and Eight Diagrams formation, formed an angle with the bronze coffin protected by the mechanism.Before we came in, the organ had operated twice. I guess the angle at the beginning must not be the current angle. Judging from the current positions of the sarcophagus and the bronze coffin, will the angle disappear the next time they are rotated? The coffins are next to each other. , what if it turns again?Isn't that going to be piled up?

Stack up?As soon as this thought came out, my heart suddenly became cold.No, it is impossible to stack them up, I think the mechanism is too simple.

Pokerfing went to the wall that the female zongzi hit just now, and this time I listened with my ears. Looking at the sealed structure of the entire tomb, I suddenly understood, damn it, this mechanism is not on the same level.

In other words, although the organ is connected to seven passages, these passages are not completely horizontal at all. Some are on the top, such as the one where the figure and the female zongzi jumped down, and some may also be on the bottom. We have not opened up yet. The place.

So the female zongzi bumped into it instinctively, maybe it wasn't the passage in its memory at all, because the whole space was rotating, and the angle changed every time it rotated.It's just asking for a sword without a boat, and it doesn't work at all.

Unless——I thought, we have to change the mechanism to the state where the female zongzi was buried, so that the direction it hits is the same as the direction of the exit.

I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the figure. I was about to ask another question to engage in psychological warfare. I had already thought out the words, but found that he seemed to pass out again.My head probably suffered a concussion, and I thought to myself, don't blame us, it's not easy for anyone, if this is a fat man, he might have returned to his place early.

I said my guess, Poker Face nodded slightly, and I asked again: "Then why are we waiting? The air between the fat man and the others probably won't last an hour." As I spoke, I kicked the sarcophagus where the fat man was.

Fatty's voice came out muffled: "Can you go out?"

"You can come out if you want." I looked at the lingering sand mantis and white mist, and sighed, "How is it going inside now? If you can't hold it back, let me let you out, so you can have a better time."

The fat man probably cursed, but since the coffin was very thick, I couldn't hear clearly unless I said it loudly, so I gave up the idea of ​​discussing it with him immediately.

But he didn't want the fat man to save his breath, and said again: "Innocent, you two have not recruited yet. If your brother and I go first, remember that the first seven days are called souls, and the fat man will come back to accompany you two." .”

"You rest, die? Don't even think about it." I kicked my foot again, thinking why it was so unlucky.

But at the same time, a word suddenly popped out of Fatty's words.

The first seven?It's "seven" again.

Poker bottle also suddenly turned his head and asked, "What did he say?"

I wondered: "The first seven call him a soul?"

Poker bottle thought for a while, but said: "These bugs can only live for seven days."

I was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt that the situation might be turning around.

The rotation of the mechanism has seven changes. The lifespan of the sand cricket flying insects released by the mechanism is also seven days. There is also a saying that the human soul completely leaves the body and reenters reincarnation after seven days. The bronze coffin here is called the soul-locking coffin. Does it follow this saying? related.And whether there is some connection between these three "seven".

Poker-Face squatted down again, looked at what we drew on the sand, and after a while, he said, "It's not a coincidence, "Seven" is a cycle, and everything here is going on again and again."

"Repeated and repeated?" I thought for a while and asked, "Impossible, it's almost 1000 years, and it's not a perpetual motion machine."

Poker bottle lowered his head and continued to look at the picture, saying: "It doesn't run all the time, it needs to be started."

Although this person always speaks in half, but this time I also understood what he meant.The so-called repetition means that every time this organ is activated, a fixed procedure will be carried out. After the procedure is completed, it will automatically resume as before. When someone triggers it next time, it will go through it again.So does the stuffy oil bottle mean that we can do nothing and wait for it to recover automatically?Probably not, the mechanism was originally like this, but then an external factor intervened, and that was the figure.He used the mechanism and tried his best to kill every Zhang family member who came here. Most of the mechanism has been transformed by him. The intervals between the previous three operations were not equal. Maybe the time is controlled by him.

Although the limit of seven days may not be broken, but Poker and I can survive. It is absolutely impossible for the fat man and the fourth child to survive seven days in the coffin. There is not so much oxygen, and as soon as the coffin is opened, the bugs will enter.

I said, "If we can't find them, we'll wait. If we want to open the coffin and release them, we have to think of a way to get rid of these bugs."

As soon as I finished speaking, Poker-Face suddenly raised his eyes to look at me, his eyes startled me, and he said threateningly, "No."

I was taken aback, why not?You can't even think of a way, Poker Bottle, you have a scary expression, you know that.

I was inexplicably "intimidated" by him, but he looked at me for a while, his face calmed down again, shook his head, and said: "You can think of a way, you can't take risks."

Only then did I realize that Poker-Face thought I was going to sacrifice myself and use my invalid blood to attract bugs.Needless to say, this is really a solution, but unfortunately I can't control the blood myself, I don't know when it will work and when it won't work.Besides, this is too desperate, I don't want to die yet.

I guess it's because my expression changed a little too quickly, and Poker Ping's face slowly became serious again. I couldn't help laughing when I saw it, and said, "Brother, I don't have that awareness, and the fat man probably won't agree." Thinking about it Thinking about it, he joked loudly on purpose, "If we have no other choice, the two of us will bring up the fourth child. It's better to save one than to suffocate both of them."

Fatty laughed and applauded.

But the fourth child didn’t make a sound. This kid must have been crying long ago. Why didn’t he make any movement? fainted?

I walked over and patted the sarcophagus of the fourth child, and asked, "Are you still alive? Squeak when you are alive."

I waited and waited, no one squeaked.

Did you faint when there was a lot of movement just now?I looked at Poker Finger, who also frowned slightly, then walked over and looked carefully at the cracks in the coffin.My blood has clotted and nothing seems wrong.

Poker bottle said in a low voice: "Hurry up, otherwise the situation will change."

I was sweating a little, and I always felt that the silence of the fourth child was not a good omen.Compared with Fatty's sarcophagus, the fourth child's is slightly larger, and there should be more air in it. It is impossible for him to faint before Fatty due to lack of oxygen.

I began to think of some weird things. It is normal if the fourth child faints, so is the lively reaction from the fat man abnormal?Are the people in the coffin still fat?

I don't dare to think too much, I always feel that I must crack the mechanism as soon as possible, otherwise the state of nervous tension will continue to increase, and I am afraid that I will create more dangers out of thin air.

The fat man asked again, "How is my neighbor?"

I took a deep breath and was about to go back to him when Poker-Face suddenly grabbed me.

I turned around, and he said: "You know the principle of the mechanism, now let's restore it."

I looked down at the painting, and thought that the concubine couldn't do it. This mechanism is three-dimensional. I need a computer and a 3D printer.

Poker-Face raised my hand again, and I let him fiddle with it, and suddenly realized that he was using his fingers to simulate the channel. After all, the hand is three-dimensional, and we have four hands that we can use.He made the meeting shape and put my hands in a gesture that is a bit like Avalokitesvara, Pinto's palm is the plane we are on, and the fingers of the other hand are channels on other planes.

I looked up at him, and I could see a hint of encouragement from this man's eyes. Did he finally realize that I was actually smarter than him?I immediately stopped being self-righteous and asked him seriously: "You know better than me, what if I think wrong."

"I only remember the structure of the organization, and calculations are required to operate it." Poker-Face said, then raised his eyes to stare at me, and said, "Wu Xie, you can."

Immediately, I felt my brain heat up, and I was much more awake than before. Without a computer, my human brain is more effective.At the same time, I looked at his black eyes, and I couldn't help but want to say, it's almost enough, if you look at me like this again, the CPU will burn out later.

I coughed, pretended to be calm, and said, "Then I'll try."
