Sinmonger Chapter 25: The possibility of escape
The possibility of escape in chapter 25
Tian Yi and the Count of Beauge quickly caught up with the entourage in front of them. They were wary of this eerie passage, so they walked rather slowly.
After all, human beings have an instinctive fear of mysterious things. When experiencing strange and surprising adventures, excitement and awe will always coexist. Even a well-informed and open-minded person like the Earl still has grudges every time he faces Tianyi.
Tian Yi thought that this group of people were walking too slowly, so he simply came to the front of the team by himself, leading everyone to speed up their progress.
Time is forgotten by people in the dark passage and the oppressive atmosphere. Except for Tianyi, all kinds of grotesque ideas have emerged in everyone's mind. The brain becomes sensitive, restless, and starts to wander.
No one knows how long it has been, and no one is thinking about actual problems. When the emotions of fear and doubt are about to rise to a critical point, Tianyi's footsteps just stop at this moment.
"The entrance is here." His tone was calm and confident, giving a sense of dependability that made one feel calm and settled.
The Earl was by Tianyi's side. At this moment, he fully realized one thing, that is, as long as a reliable person sends a word at a critical moment, he can immediately stabilize the morale of the army.
Tian Yi's words are as if the chef announces the order, the artist says it's done, the priest starts Mass, and the robber prepares to share the spoils. His tone was as if an expert in a certain field was talking about a trivial matter, and there was no need to question it, just continue to listen to his instructions.
Looking at the **** in front of him, the whole is a huge piece of black metal. The Earl didn't see any sign of a door from this thing, but since Tianyi said that this is the entrance, this must be the entrance.
The earl asked, "Master, how do I open this?"
Tian Yi replied: "When the tunnel was completed, I had already slid down and opened the entrance. The black wall in front of you is just an illusory image." Thrown on the slope.
I saw that the torch passed through the wall and fell directly. After a few seconds, there was a sound of landing.
The earl said with a look of surprise: "Is the temple below this full of magic like your bookstore?"
Tian Yiyi: "No, the difference is quite big. My bookstore is like a vast treasure house of knowledge, and here... it can only be regarded as a small bookshelf filled with a few books."
After he finished speaking, he watched the expression on the count's face change, and guessed what the other party was thinking, so he added: "You have to change the way you think, a lot of times, size doesn't mean anything. ."
The Count seems to understand a little bit, but overall, he is still a little confused. Tianyi thinks about it and forgets it. There is not much to explain. He turned around and said, "Is the rope ready?"
"Yes, according to your instructions yesterday, a lot of torches and ropes have been prepared." The Count replied and waved his entourage to come over.
"Sir." The attendant took out the rope prepared in advance and walked to the entrance: "Are you also taking out the long nails and hooks for fixing?"
Tianyi continued: "Of course, it needs to be fixed firmly. First go down with four people, then tie the box, and the person above slowly hangs the box and puts it down. When all three boxes are down, All the people above will go down to the ruins."
The Count seemed to notice something and asked, "Don't you need to leave one or two people in the passage?"
Tian Yi showed a weird smile that was not easy to detect and asked: "Do you think this is necessary?"
"Hmm... If the tool for securing the rope loosens and everyone goes down again, they will be trapped underneath." The Count replied.
"It makes sense." Tian Yi actually agreed with the earl's statement, turned his head and said to him: "Then leave two people here." He turned around again and said to his followers: "Since the plan If you want to keep the two here, then I have to explain some of the principles of the temple below to you in advance. Otherwise, people who stay on it for a while may suspect that the rest of us will disappear when we go down.”

"There are no traps in this giant room because of the existence of the hexagonal platform." The consultant was already lying on his back on the hexagonal platform at this time: "This must be a room with some special function, And its function must be related to these seven patterns." The consultant put his hands behind his head and said leisurely.
"Do you think you can comprehend when you sleep with your back on the pattern?" Vanessa crossed her arms over her chest and stood beside the platform, looking at the consultant with an unhappy expression.
"Anyway, even if I don't cover it, you won't understand it." The consultant said, "I think these blue-glowing textures should also have a weak temperature. It may be warmer to lie in such a denser place. "
"Are you cold?" Vanessa asked, "Didn't you say you can't feel cold here?"
The consultant said: "Based on the rate of temperature drop, and the uninterrupted countdown when I was conscious, the temperature is now between one and three degrees Celsius." He tilted his head and looked at Vanessa: " Your posture at the moment is a manifestation of your body's coldness. In the severe cold, people will try to fold their body as much as possible... First, they will cross their arms and hug their chests like this, then they will squat down, tighten their necks, and finally curl up into a ball."
Vanessa replied: "It's scary to say, but can you really be warmer than me when you're lying there?"
"I don't know, I don't feel cold, I can't compare." As the consultant said, he sighed in front of his eyes, and his breath quickly turned into a white mist: "The breath that came out is already visible to the naked eye." He Sitting up: "According to the normal plan, we should have found the treasure by now and are ready to escape the ruins."
"So, what are you still doing lying there? Don't you hurry up and look for the handprint?" Vanessa's tone was obviously anxious.
"What are you in a hurry? It stands to reason that you should have more clothes to keep out the cold than me." The consultant replied weakly.
"I don't know why, I'm not even interested in coming to beat you." Vanessa glared at him.
Unexpectedly, the consultant suddenly slapped both of them at this time.
"What are you doing?" Vanessa asked with a half-smile.
"Allow yourself to wake up a bit. Currently my mind is slowing down, my eyelids are heavy, and although I don't feel tired, my body is very honest." The consultant said: "We are wearing summer clothes and staying in a winter environment. , even the able ones, it is difficult to hold for too long." He stepped down from the platform: "But we should continue to wait in place, waiting for the dark water to save us." He actually did warm-up gymnastics while doing it. Said: "After reaching the room at the core of the ruins, they will be able to grasp our whereabouts, and after taking the treasure, they will definitely come to us. Now, they are very likely to leave the core and come to us halfway, once we Just find a handprint and send it away, and they will lose our whereabouts.
Next, we'll be roaming around this relic where only the dark waters can find regularity by sheer luck, and they won't have time to go back to the core to confirm our changing position. At that time, Darkwater will make the right decision, which is to abandon the two of us and leave here with the other two and the treasure.
And we, either die in the trap or die in the cold. "
After hearing this, Vanessa became more and more uneasy. Even though the ruins could basically eliminate people's sense of crisis, she still began to be afraid: "So now we have no choice but to wait?"
The consultant continued to do warm-up exercises: "If it goes well, they will find us before the temperature drops below minus five degrees, and then the five of us will speed up and try to escape."
"What if it doesn't go well?" Vanessa asked.
"If they haven't shown up in another fifteen to twenty minutes or so, then there are only two scenarios for the future.
The first type is that after the dark water reaches the core of the ruins, it confirms our position and decides to abandon us after calculation. Of course, your flag-bearer, Suyside, will be firmly opposed, and maybe our gunsmiths will, too. There may be a dispute next, and it may also be... In order to prevent the dispute from happening, Dark Water will not express his opinion at all. He will quietly kill the killer and kill Suyside, stun the gunsmith, and save the time of the dispute. Escape the ruins with the gunsmith to minimize damage.
The second is even worse, and that is when they found us after twenty-eight minutes or more~IndoMTL.com~ At that time, the temperature had dropped to a situation where no one could survive, the four of us humans They will all die here, and only the dark water has a chance to escape, provided that he can complete all the teleportation before the temperature completely freezes his body's movements. With any luck, when he escapes from the ruins, the four of us ice sculptures will also be teleported to the room guarded by the mechanical giant bees at the entrance of the ruins. But I think the possibility is very slim, don't forget that there are traps along the way, and it is impossible for the dark water to protect our corpses that look like popsicles. "
"Stop talking!" Vanessa's face flushed red: "From the moment you entered this ruin, you tried your best to scare me."
The consultant said with a smile: "From the way you look now, you are really scared." He helplessly spread his hands: "Unfortunately, I really didn't mean to scare you, I just said the most reasonable after reasoning. It's just development."
Vanessa snorted and ignored him, just turned around and sat on the ground hugging her knees without saying a word.
"I'm sorry," the consultant said, while another voice in his head muttered to himself: "Why am I apologizing? Hmm...must be insanity caused by hypothermia."
