Sinmonger Chapter 21: God key
One day when I was seven, I was put in an animal cage. The memory of that day is a little fuzzy, I don't know where my parents are, maybe they locked me in, maybe some rich guy who likes to watch perverted shows, or maybe some kid older than me. mischief.
Tian Yi once asked me if I wanted to know the truth, and I said I didn't. I think there should always be some mysterious things in people's life, or some secrets that can never be solved.
At the same time, I also feel that if the answer to a thing may be unacceptable to me, it is best not to ask.
Tian Yi and I have been friends for many years. When I met him, I was only a teenager. He looked like this in his twenties and thirties. After all these years, he still does.
Maybe I just want to dig out the secrets of this mysterious man, and then gradually establish a friendship with him. But I have to admit, he is an elusive person. I even suspected that he was the one who threw me into the cage, because what he did was unpredictable.
Let's talk about the cage...
The lock is not complicated. It is the kind of lock that can be easily opened with human hands, but can never be opened with the claws of animals. How could a seven-year-old boy be locked in such a cage? Quite simply, the person who threw me in the cage had a ball of chains tied to the lock.
The cage is still in a very desolate forest. I vaguely remember hearing some bad noises in the surrounding area. I guess it was either a bear or a wolf.
I stretched my hand out of the cage and dragged the cage for a difficult distance. I picked up a relatively hard stone and tried my best to smash the chain. I smashed it for a long time, and the seven-year-old child didn't have much strength. And I didn't know I was capable at the time.
Anyway, I managed to escape in the end and walked in the forest for a day or two without eating anything, and then I saw the road.
I ran until my legs went limp, until I clung to the side of the road.
An old gentleman found me, I don't remember my parents, I don't remember my name. There was nothing to prove my identity, only a very ordinary dirty clothes, so the old man took me in.
The old man was a down-and-out magician who had a good time when he was young. But in a large performance, there was an accident, most of his organs were damaged, medical expenses cost almost all his savings, and in the end he only got the reputation of a crappy magician and a lingering body.
Those dozens of hours in the cage may have left some kind of strange shadow in my young mind. I can accept unsolvable puzzles, but I cannot tolerate unsolvable shackles.
So I asked the old man to teach me various escape techniques, the former "escape master" was a very competent teacher, if only he wasn't so obsessed with magic. He could have changed careers to be a locksmith, or maybe a security consultant or something. You don't have to live in that kind of wandering around and perform in unpopular places. Barely have a good day.
I'm supposed to be a gifted kid for a year. I learned to understand every standard lock. Then I learned more, and I mastered more than a dozen ways to easily escape from the straitjackets of various labels. You can hang me upside down, wrap me in a straitjacket, put a chain on it, put seven or eight different locks, turn off the lights in the room, and close the door. Suppose there is only enough air in this room to live for five minutes, then you come back ten minutes later and you will never see a dead body hanging upside down, but an empty room with **** clothes, chains and lock...
When I was thirteen, the old man died and I had learned all his skills before he died. In fact, many well-known circuses had contacted me at that time, wanting me to be the star of their tour, but I refused. You ask me why? Because I don't want to be in a bigger cage for people to watch.
Performing with Master is to repay his kindness, but since he is dead, I should live my own life and live a good life.
I am very confident. Before I was eighteen, I was one of the top thieves in the world. Except for some very tricky places, such as the Louvre and Tiandu, like general museums or jewelry stores, I came here Go freely.
It was also during those days that I met Tianyi. He tried to make a deal with me, and his chip was my lost memory.
I didn't accept his offer, and I learned later how wise my choice was, stepping into his game generally didn't turn out well.
But he seems to think that a person who doesn't get to the bottom of everything is a good friend. It's also possible, of course, that he's just interested in my special abilities and wants to take advantage of me. Who knows, I didn't ask anyway.
Tianyi became my second mentor, both a teacher and a friend. He has ordered me on the subject of the able, and even gave me advice in my professional field. In terms of thief skills, I am a A master of escape, but he is indeed far better than me at planning.
One day later, our connection was suddenly cut off, and ten years passed in a flash.
In the past ten years, I have matured. I no longer steal for material pleasures, false reputations, or challenges, etc. I have become a righteous thief, like Robin Hood, who steals rich and unkind nobles And the royal family, do some business of robbing the rich and helping the poor.
It turns out, ironically, that the guilt I've accumulated over the years of stealing seems less serious than the years before my arrest. It seems that a few days ago, I was still at large, and no one cared about it. I could openly go to the convenience store to buy things. And a pair of nobles started, and I became a felon who had to go across the province overnight without wearing makeup.
Later, I met the Seventh Prince. He is indeed a powerful person. I have heard the name of the tea immortal before, but I didn't expect that one day he would come to hunt me down. As it turned out, I was inferior to me in terms of resourcefulness and strength.
After Tianyi rescued me from Hell Island, he told me that it was time for the world to change. Until now, I have seen the changes in the world, but Tianyi's purpose is more and more puzzling to me. Not to mention, who he is, and the situation he has put me in right now.
…………
After the golden light in front of the **** key dissipated, a straight corridor appeared in front of him. A few seconds before the light source completely disappeared, he vaguely saw that the walls on both sides were blue, the ceiling above his head, the bottom of his feet The floors are also of the same blue material as the walls.
It is very dangerous to move forward in complete darkness, but God Key has no choice at the moment.
He moved forward by touching the wall on one side. The material didn't feel like metal or stone to the touch, and he couldn't tell what it was made of. While walking, Shenkey sorted out the situation in front of him in his mind.
Breathing is relatively comfortable, the air here should be fine, there is no obvious feeling of inhaling dust; energy sensing... can't detect the existence of people; normal sense of smell, but no special smell; hearing... …
God Key stopped and listened carefully. His hearing was excellent, and he could open a safe without a hearing aid. But at this moment, except for the faint sound of his own breathing, he could hear nothing in the darkness.
Uncertainty about the situation around him made his actions seem futile, but he had no choice but to move on. I was fighting the Three-Eyed Giant outside the ruins just now. How did I come to such a place after a few seconds?
In such darkness, human instinct will undoubtedly cause some fear in the heart, but Shenkey has already overcome the psychological impact of the darkness, so he will not be afraid of anything, and he will not lose his ability to think calmly. .
Going forward like this for a long time, the **** key found that the wall did not know when it started, it was not straight, and a certain arc had appeared. This is a very troublesome thing. If the corridor had a right-angle turn, it would be easy to remember, but this kind of gradual change of direction makes it difficult for people to construct a map in their brains.
"Wait..." Shen Key remembered what he saw before the golden light dissipated, "Is this corridor..." He took a few steps to the side and touched the other wall, on the other side of the corridor. The wall, and the wall he was leaning on just now, were completely parallel, with the same curvature.
God Key exclaimed, "Those three eyes locked me in a labyrinth?"
However, he immediately rekindled hope, because since it is a labyrinth, there must be an exit. According to common sense, the easiest and most effective way to get out of a labyrinth, in fact, God Key has been doing it from the beginning, that is to move along the wall on one side, and you will find the exit sooner or later.
The question now is ~IndoMTL.com~ how big is this maze?
At this point, the **** key has a slightly bad feeling. From the structure of the wall, it is not easy to judge how big the maze with square corners is, because you are constantly turning, but the arc maze can be judged one or two, that is, how close the curvature of one wall is to a straight line .
God's key feels that, according to the current state of walking, I hardly feel any deviation, this maze is very large, how many roads are there, how many bends it takes, and how long it takes to get there At the end of one of the roads, all are unknown.
Therefore, the **** key simply used energy, touched the wall on one side with his hand, and began to run forward.
No matter how many mazes there are or how amazing the total length of the walls is, every step forward will bring you one step closer to finding the exit, because in the end, all mazes are a circle, and in this circle, there will always be one Notched.
The key is extremely fast, almost as fast as a sports car, and he doesn't guzzle gas. Just as he sprinted like this for ten minutes, suddenly, he felt something, it was the breath of a living creature, an overwhelming sense of presence... To be continued. .
