Origin Chapter 124: Illusion

The strange scene displayed on the screen made everyone look at each other in dismay. There were two kinds of scenes in the wide stone room. The imaginary scene was a Qiongtai pavilion with immortal clouds. It was a three-dimensional image. There are bamboo forests and flowing water, the main body is a gorgeous palace with flying eaves and painted buildings, and there are side halls around.

But the real scene in the stone room has a ghostly atmosphere. There is a stone step in the stone room, about three meters wide and about two meters above the ground. At the end of the step, there is a knotted buckle. The hinges are hung from horizontal copper columns at the top of the stone chamber.

The row of corpses that was hanged is located on the right side of the stone chamber. There are eight corpses in total, five of which are mummified, and the other three are mercenaries in modern clothes.

The eight corpses are about two meters apart from each other. The reason why the corpses are hanging on the right side of the stone chamber is because the copper column at the top is inclined to the right side. Their struggle, they will slide to the right, and the next noose will move to the front of the step with their struggle, waiting for the next prey to throw itself into the net.

After the astonishment, everyone's eyes were focused on Huang Hailin. He was a master of the mechanism. Only he could give a reasonable explanation for this strange overlapping of reality and reality.

Huang Hailin took the display screen in Xiao Qin's hand, freezed the screen, and slid to explain, "See, the end of the steps is just the entrance of the Illusory Palace. This is a kind of artificial illusion, as long as people are illusioned Confused, when you walk over, you will be hanged by a noose, which should be a mixture of burlap and wire coated with animal fat, and its toughness can be maintained for many years in a dry environment."

Huang Hailin took a breath and swiped the screen again, "Look here again, there is likely to be a trap with built-in sharp spines under the steps. Its function is to prevent fish from slipping through the net. The size is only suitable for the normal height of men and women between 1.6 and 1.8 meters. If there is a very short or tall one, if it is not trapped, it will fall into the trap below. If two people are competing to run up the steps, that Those who are not trapped will also fall in. Although there are eight corpses hanging in the stone chamber, the actual death toll should be more than eight.”

After Huang Hailin finished speaking, Wang Xinran said, "You have overlooked a key point. Illusions are an illusion of the human brain. We use cameras, and cameras cannot capture illusions."

"Can your mobile phone show the picture on the TV?" Huang Hailin asked rhetorically.

"But there is no projection device inside." Wang Xinran said.

"It can only be said that there is no modern projection device inside." Huang Hailin zoomed in and pointed to the four stone figures in the four corners of the stone room. Disc-shaped things, "If I guess right, these four discs are devices for creating illusions."

Wang Xinran nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Wu Zhongyuan asked, "If someone goes in, can they come out again?"

"Theoretically, all mechanisms can be cracked." Huang Hailin said.

Others don't know why Wu Zhongyuan asked this question, but Wang Xinran knew it. He probed outside with his right hand and secretly pinched Wu Zhongyuan's ass.

Wu Zhongyuan naturally knew why Wang Xinran pinched him, but when everyone was around, he couldn't push Wang Xinran's hand away, so he could only grin and say, "I'm afraid my senior brother is inside."

Huang Hailin didn't know why and said, "Don't worry, you guys rest for a while, I'll try to find the correct route."

The four of them sat down against the left and right stone walls. In order to save the battery, they all turned off the flashlights.

Wang Xinran attacked very hard before, and Wu Zhongyuan was a little annoyed when she pinched her. Seeing that she was holding a cigarette like a normal person, she felt more and more unhappy.

Wang Xinran was wearing winter jeans, which were thicker and couldn't squeeze the flesh, so she grabbed them instead.

Wang Xinran was holding a cigarette, her face as usual.

Grabbing a handful, it feels good, but at the same time I feel a little embarrassed, but Wang Xinran pretended to be nothing, which is equivalent to promoting "sin" in disguise, so I began to wonder if I should feel this good feeling again.

Most people have the mentality of breaking a jar and throwing it. Anyway, they have already touched it, and they don't care how many more. However, breaking the jar is an excuse. The root cause is that he wants to touch it, so he touches it again. .

As soon as I touched it, before I could feel it carefully, a scream suddenly came from beside me, "Stinky hooligan, stinky hooligan..."

Wang Xinran will definitely not shout, it is dark around, Yang Yi and Xiao Qin can't see it, Huang Hailin is scrutinizing the organs without distractions, it is the starling who is yelling, this guy can see things clearly in the dark, I saw the movements in Wu Zhongyuan's hands.

Wang Xinran was embarrassed, Wu Zhongyuan was embarrassed, Xiao Qin and the others had clearly guessed what happened but pretended not to know, which was embarrassing, only the little **** was not embarrassed and kept calling.

"Shut up." Xiao Qin scolded.

Little **** shut up.

The passage is quiet, but the silence at this time is full of embarrassment. Not explaining is the same as acquiescence, and explaining is trying to hide it.

Just when Wu Zhongyuan was mentally prepared to face and bear this embarrassment, Wang Xinran generously leaned against Wu Zhongyuan.

Wang Xinran's action is not only to save the scene but also to relieve the siege, but also to declare and confess without shyness. Wu Zhongyuan is not only moved but also praise and admiration. He dares to act. This guy is really a man.

However, the good mood soon turned into a bad mood, and such a good woman can't have it. When she thought of leaving in half a year, the good mood disappeared in an instant, only depression and annoyance remained.

Huang Hailin's inference is based on the details of the channels captured by the camera. Based on these details, he needs to infer a series of changes in the three channels after the agency is activated.

Wu Zhongyuan thought that Huang Hailin could not complete such a cumbersome inference in a short time, but Huang Hailin deduced the result in only ten minutes.

"Let's go." Huang Hailin greeted everyone to set off.

Wu Zhongyuan was a little surprised, but he was the only one who was surprised. Wang Xinran and others knew Huang Hailin's achievements in the organization, and after hearing his words, they all stood up and prepared to set off.

After tidying up, Huang Hailin walked first, taking the road in the middle. "The safe distance is two meters, try to stay close to each other."

After walking six meters, Huang Hailin stopped, and everyone stopped.

Soon, the mechanism was activated, the sound of vibration and friction continued for more than ten seconds, and the road ahead was still smooth without any change.

When the sound stopped, Huang Hailin walked forward another two meters, stopped again, and the mechanism was activated again. Unknown movements and changes may have occurred in other areas, but the road ahead remained unchanged.

After the sound of friction disappeared, Huang Hailin walked another eight meters.

"Pi?" Wang Xinran discovered the pattern.

"Yes," Huang Hailin nodded, "this mechanism is infinitely variable. The person who designed this mechanism has learned from the law of pi. This mechanism is definitely not designed by the Chinese."

"Why do you say that?" Xiao Qin asked.

Huang Hailin was walking forward at this time, and did not answer, Wu Zhongyuan replied, "Because we have not accurately calculated the pi during the period when the Sanxingdui civilization existed. In fact, in ancient Greece, Babylon, and ancient India, the calculated pi is higher than Let's be early."

Xiao Qin pouted, everyone is Chinese, and they all hope that China is the most powerful, but in fact, the development of China's civilization is the most lagging among the four ancient civilizations. This is an objective fact that everyone is reluctant to accept. , but thinking that the other three major civilizations were killed by the Aryans, as long as our history and culture have continued to this day, I feel much more comfortable.

Everyone walked a few steps and stopped, and after walking a few dozen meters, they saw the end of the passage.

Continue to move forward. With the change of the operation of the mechanism, the stone blocking the passage is removed to the right, and the passage is temporarily restored.

At this point, it was almost certain that Huang Hailin's inference was correct. Everyone relaxed a little and began to chat casually.

Huang Hailin spoke first, "Keep going forward according to the current route, and eventually you will reach the stone room where the man was hanged."

"Isn't there a slaughterhouse and a garbage dump?" Xiao Qin said casually.

"Yes," Huang Hailin nodded, "but it is also the last level of this passage. Even if someone successfully passes this passage, if they don't understand the last level, they will be recruited there. They do this. Designed, most likely to prevent someone from coercing someone who knows the route into the altar."

"What the **** is in the altar? The New York Fed's vault probably doesn't have such a high level of security." Yang Yi laughed.

Huang Hailin said, "It's hard to say what is in the altar, but it must be very important to them, and even related to their life and death."

After Huang Hailin finished speaking, Wang Xinran took over, "The people who came out to look for Wu Zhongyuan from ancient times were all warriors of their tribe, and they were all people with supernormal abilities. The purpose of their coming here is probably to Kill the monster in the altar. At present, the foreign forces have more clues than us. They should know what is inside. They suspect that the warrior died with the things in the altar, and the spiritual stone he carried was also left behind. Here, that's their purpose and motivation for coming here."

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, everyone nodded, and Wu Zhongyuan said again, "No matter what is inside, the shape should not be very big."

Everyone agrees with Wu Zhongyuan's statement that there is about four square meters of space for standing in this passage, and the hollow copper column outside will start to rotate after sensing the weight of the four people, which means that the person entering the altar There are not many people, and if there is a huge beast inside, the sacrificial people will not be able to bring enough food to feed it.

This passage is more than 100 meters long. With the dull sound of friction, the last square stone blocking the passage sank into the ground. The scene in front changed suddenly, and a magnificent palace appeared in front of everyone, with mountains and flowing water in the distance. Nearby, the birds and flowers are fragrant, like a fairyland on earth.

"How can I hear the sound?" Xiao Qin looked at Huang Hailin suspiciously, "Can you still smell the fragrance of flowers?"

Huang Hailin explained, "Not only vision, but all senses are a reaction of our brains."

Xiao Qin took out the mineral water he drank before, drank the remaining water, and threw the empty bottle out.

"How did they do it?" Xiao Qin was both puzzled and curious. If he hadn't seen the real scene here through the camera before, no one would think that what he saw was all illusion.

Wang Xinran squatted down and touched the steps in front of her with her hands. The feeling of starting was exactly what she saw. However, according to the pictures captured by the camera, the place she touched should be the floor of the stone room, and she had not reached the steps leading to the noose. .

"How can I break the illusion?" Wang Xinran looked at Huang Hailin.

Huang Hailin said, "The disk held by the stone figures in the four corners should be the key to creating the illusion."

Wang Xinran nodded, pulled out his pistol and looked back at everyone. After everyone was mentally prepared, he shot to the right with memory.

After the gunshots, the visions remain, but the sounds of birds chirping and running water are gone.

Wang Xinran fired another shot to the left, this time the illusion disappeared, but the scent of flowers and grass was still there.

After the illusion disappeared, the stone room revealed its true colors, and the fairyland of the Yaotai pavilion became a ghost realm where corpses were hung, but the fragrance of flowers was still there, and it felt very strange for everyone to be in it.

Seeing that Wang Xinran was about to shoot again, Huang Hailin hurriedly raised his hand to stop it, "Don't destroy the other two places, I'll go over and see what the mechanism is."

After Wang Xinran nodded, he put away the pistol.

Huang Hailin walked into the stone room, but stopped after a few steps, "No, the touch is still there, let's destroy another place."

"Upper left or upper right?" Wang Xinran drew his gun.

"It should be the upper left." Huang Hailin said.

Wang Xinran relied on memory to estimate the location of the target and fired a shot at the upper left corner.

"Okay, come in," Huang Hailin said. After walking a few steps and seeing that the crowd did not follow up, he turned around and said, "There are no other organs here, you can also look around.

Then everyone walked into the stone room, but everyone did not scatter to observe, but kept following Huang Hailin. In this case, it was safer to follow him.

Huang Hailin first went to the back of the steps to check if there were any traps. As he expected, there was a trap that was more than ten meters deep behind the steps. There was no hand slipping around, and the bottom of the pit was densely covered with sharp bronze thorns.

There are no complete corpses below the trap, just a few scattered bones.

"The bones are messy and obviously moved, they may have gone down." Huang Hailin said.

Wang Xinran nodded, "They are looking for Lingshi."

Huang Hailin didn't stay around the trap for too long, and then walked to the upper right corner. The stone man held up something similar to a compass. It was self-contained. , The color is gray and white, and it has a jade luster when illuminated by light.

"Is it jade?" Wang Xinran asked.

"No, it should be the nasal bone of a mirage," Huang Hailin said. "This animal has long since become extinct. The ancestors of my ancestors have seen the mechanism arranged with the bones of a mirage, but it is not so complicated." /

After Huang Hailin finished speaking, he reached out and picked up the copper plate. The illusion of smell disappeared, and the fragrance was replaced by a dirty and dry breath.

Everyone was watching the copper plate in Huang Hailin's hand, only Wu Zhongyuan found the problem, "They didn't destroy these copper plates, but where did the other five people go..."
