[Bottle Evil] The Old Mansion's Strange Story

Architecture can be said to be my old line of work. The knowledge I learned in college has saved my life several times. I have picked it up again and studied the tombs I went down before.Although I am pointing fingers at the moment, I gradually build up the overall structure of the tomb in my mind.

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and imagined, this feeling is amazing and refreshing.My spatial imagination ability has always been good, this time I mainly rely on thinking.

I seem to be able to see a huge transparent building in the darkness. It was not complete at the beginning, and only had two parts. One part is the tomb passage and hall where we came in at the beginning, and the other part is the main tomb.In addition, there are some parts, there are three tortuous passages that have been exposed. Poker bottle just arranged their positions for me, so I imagined placing them in the main tomb as it was before the mechanism was activated for the last time. partly on.

One of them was the one that Poker-Face and I walked by, which is the one when we came in.The other is the one where the fat man and the fourth child came in. When I wanted to find the exit, the fat man also described its location to me.There is another one, which is the one where the figure and the female zongzi came down, and it was originally erected on top of our heads.

The transformation we know best is the second transformation. After all, we experienced it in person as expected, and we were divided into two teams at that time, so we had more information.So according to the orientation after the second transformation, I "installed" the three passages, and I saw that the outline of the building became more clear.

I asked Poker Bottle some more details, and found that these passages did not become chaotic and turned into a dead end after being transformed, but instead were reconnected with other parts of the tomb passage to form a new layout.For example, after a rotation of one-seventh of the circular angle, the tomb passage that used to connect the halls, where Poker-Face and I walked, no longer connects the halls, and the one that connects the halls becomes the one that the fat man and the fourth child walked.

Therefore, every time the mechanism is changed, the pattern of the tomb becomes new. Even if the tomb we are in now has an exit, we will not find the way we came from before when we walk in.

After seven transformations in seven days, if there is no person like Poker Ping who is very familiar with mechanism principles, or someone with some architectural expertise like me, even if he keeps exploring outside the main tomb, it is possible to get out. Also very small.Maybe just after finding an exit, the mechanism rotates again, everything changes, and I am so angry.

Of course, this also reminds us that the calculation must be done before the next switch of the mechanism, otherwise everything will have to be restarted.

I refocused my mind, and then I will install the other four passages that we have not discovered into the buildings in my mind one by one according to the description of Poker Bottle.

I dug out a notepad from my backpack, which I kept handy at the time, and I used to take notes occasionally.But I never thought of using it in the tomb, and it will come in handy at this time.

Poker-Face and I drew with pens on paper and sand on the ground, gesticulating with our fingers as if we were using sign language.

Needless to say, Poker Ping's comprehension ability, he can understand any gestures I make, and explain it to me immediately.

The graphs are becoming more and more complex and three-dimensional.Gradually, with the "pattern" constructed by Poker Ping and I, I finally completed the blank part of the huge transparent building in my mind.

This is the roughest but also the finest architectural drawing I have ever "drawn".

The whole institution has three joints, the hall, the main tomb, and the "backstage" that we haven't found. The connections between them are seven tomb passages that can change and several tomb passages that can't change.They are not on the same plane, and the overall scale is much larger than the part we walked through.

Poker-Face looked up at me and said, "Run it."

I know the following is the key. We need to predict the structure of the mausoleum after the second operation, that is, the current structure after the third transformation, so that we will know where the hidden passage is in the currently closed tomb.

The reason why there is a passage is very simple. It is impossible to isolate a certain part of this tomb independently, which would violate its original intention. ", there will be more information.

I stared at the paper, the sand, and our hands in front of me, and imagined turning the mechanism one-seventh of the circle again.This is a very unimaginable process. If I am not careful, the three-dimensional "architectural design drawing" in my mind will be scattered by me, like a tornado passing through.

"Take your time." Poker bottle said.

I smiled wryly, and said to myself that you have learned how to comfort others, but if you are not in a hurry, you can think about it yourself.I'm also anxious, I can't drag them until they are smothered to death.

Things got to this point, and it was unexpected. Poker Finger’s memory was not fully restored. At first, he recalled the specialness of the coffin, so he proposed to use female rice dumplings, but we were deceived by the agency, but after he checked around , And thought of the way to restore the agency.

Poker bottle is a person who always has a solution. He has so much experience that he can predict almost all situations.I think even if this path fails, he will still have a way.

So I don't worry anymore, I always have a sense of security when there are people around me.

I closed my eyes, concentrated, and my heart became calm.Just thinking about making this complicated mechanism work.

The most amazing thing I have ever done is to simulate and deduce in my mind the ruins of the Yin Shang Emperor's Mausoleum underground in Changbai Mountain when I went to pick up Poker Bottle ten years later.I memorized its entire structure and simulated my route from any point to the bronze door. As long as I was given a location, I could touch the bronze door with my eyes closed.

As a result, "things backfired", and I got the bronze key left by Poker Bottle on the way. It was so easy to use that I memorized it for nothing.

This time he gave me a chance to play.

The design of this mechanism can be described as ingenious, and the designer must have been an architectural genius at the time.To operate such a large and complex mechanism, many aspects must be considered. It is hard to imagine how much energy and manpower it would take to make such a mechanism in ancient times when technology was not so advanced.But I have always believed in a saying that people's self-righteousness is mostly manifested when evaluating the past.In the words of Fatty, what is passed down is a good thing.The wisdom of the ancient people cannot be underestimated.

I thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no need to belittle myself. I was more than [-]% sure that the hidden passage was right under our feet.

I pointed to my designated seat: "Try it."

Poker-Face should have smiled, and I said to myself that it seems that I still have a better future as a technical soldier.

Poker-Face and I started to clean up the sand with the tools we could use. During the period, I sneaked a few glances at the figure to see his reaction. If we found out that we had cracked it, would we continue to stop it, but he was still fainting , without even lifting the eyelids.

Soon, we cleared out an area underground, which looked like a common bluestone slab in a tomb, but with a psychological prediction, it felt strange.

I looked at Poker Bottle and said, "We have to study how to open it."

Poker Bottle stopped the movement of his hands, and said, "There are still bugs."

Indeed, this is also a big problem. Even if we open the passage, how can we get the fat man and the fourth child out of the coffin and throw them into the passage while avoiding the bugs? follow us down.Do I still have to sacrifice a bit for me to lure the bugs away first?If there is a place to hide, it is not impossible.

I took the "drawing" just now, and started thinking about where I should hide, but after just looking at it for a few seconds, I suddenly heard a muffled sound from the sarcophagus behind me.

In the originally silent tomb, a little noise that appeared out of thin air was amplified by the ears, and my heart was thrilled.

Fatty and the others can't hold back anymore?I immediately looked towards the sarcophagus, but heard a louder impact from inside the sarcophagus.

From the sarcophagus where the fourth child is.

Then there was the fat man's voice: "What's the situation? My neighbor cheated on the corpse?"

I thought to myself no, but I saw Pony Youfeng standing up suddenly, saying: "Not good!" As he said that, he rushed towards the sarcophagus where the fourth child was hiding.

I saw the coffin lid of the sarcophagus of the fourth child being lifted up suddenly. If Poker Bottle hadn't rushed over to hold it down, the coffin lid would have fallen off.Anyone who has had a similar experience knows that it is not easy to push a heavy object from the bottom up. The lid of the coffin was closed by the joint efforts of my fat man and Poker Bottle. How could the fourth child push it from the inside? Back off!

I also rushed over immediately and shouted: "Ah, you have become a rice dumpling?" Otherwise, how could you speak so vigorously?

But Poker-Face said: "Go and open the passage, only by leaving here can we save him!"
