Chapter 30 Passing Through the Wall
Among these five people, the cannibal owl is the most ruthless, but he is the most greedy and afraid of death. Seeing that Lu Lie was back, he immediately walked forward and said anxiously: "Super little brother, have you found a way to escape on the other side of the wall?"
Lu Lie looked at the cannibal owl with a meaningful look, stretched out his hand, took the tobacco from his hand very naturally, stuffed it into his mouth and took a sip, and said lightly: "Old bird, don't worry, listen to me slowly."
Lu Lie judged the situation and knew that the cannibal owl was eager to find out the news outside the wall, so he would never make things difficult for him.
Sure enough, the cannibal owl not only did not get angry, but nodded: "Tell me slowly, don't miss any details. Maybe any strangeness on the other side of the wall may become a breakthrough point for us to escape."
Lu Lie waited until the remaining three of them were sitting around him before putting down the cigarette in his hand and repeated, "Before the past, I was mentally prepared. However, on the other end of the wall, I still saw something far more than I imagined.
"As soon as I stepped over the wall, I landed on another stone staircase. The stone staircase on that side was exactly the same as the one here, and the gray-white stones were paved with floors. Eternal lights were hung every twenty steps on both sides, but most of them were extinguished. I didn't think much about it at that time. I looked at the top and couldn't see clearly. I carried the eternal lights up, hoping that there would be different from here and I could find a way out. Unexpectedly, the world was as black as the stone staircases were as endless as here. I once thought I would never end."
The cannibal nodded slightly, Li Yuan, Qimei and others also exchanged glances. Everyone thought to themselves: No wonder he has been back so long, it has taken a long time to climb the stairs.
The cannibal took out another cigarette and lit it and took a sip: "Super little brother, from your tone, there is naturally a turning point behind you. It's impossible that you have been climbing the stone stairs for more than half an hour, are you?"
Speaking of this, Lu Lie's eyes shone, as if he was about to reveal a huge secret: "I only know now that I am fortunate to be with you, no matter how hard or tired you climb the stone stairs, there is a person who talks on the road. I walked thousands of layers on the dark stairs alone, and could not hear anything except my own breathing, and could not see anything except the stone slabs under my feet. The feeling of being extremely lonely and depressing was as if the whole world had forgotten me and almost drove me crazy!
"At that time, I knew I could not hold on anymore, so I had to keep saying to myself, climb up a thousand layers! If I didn't find anything after a thousand layers, then I wouldn't blame me for being useless, so I had to come back empty-handedly.
"When I walked a total of 5,780 floors on the new stone stairs, a turning point appeared."
The cigarette in Lu Lie's hand was about to burn, so he threw it aside casually. The little spark struggled on the ground for a few times and was soon extinguished.
He continued to tell the story: "Just when I was almost desperate, I suddenly saw a fire flowing about a hundred feet above, and even... the sound of humans talking and laughing. At that time, I was almost at the limit, but when I discovered these, I was ecstatic and filled with endless power. Regardless of my tired legs, I hurriedly accelerated my pace and rushed up. I had no time to think about whether those people were good or bad, and whether they were wise to approach them rashly. At that time, the only thought in my mind was to catch up with them quickly and not let them go."
When the four of them heard this, they were all shocked: they didn't expect that there were other passers-by in the stone staircase across the wall. I wonder if they had a way to leave here? Did Lu Lie catch up with them in the end?
The answer is naturally self-evident. If Lu Lie caught up with them, he would not have returned here alone.
"I ran desperately, hoping that this little bit of faint hope would not flow away from my hands. Seeing that I was getting closer and closer to the place where the lights and shadows were, suddenly, I heard a woman's scream from above. I remember her shouting, "You're taking a look again! Dead old man!" The woman's voice was so familiar. I thought for a moment, and the steps under my feet couldn't help but stagnate for a while. Just as I was distracted, the sound of something giant hitting the ground came from afar. There was a loud bang, and the entire aisle was shaking. I had to stop and hold on to the wall, so that I was not shaken down the stairs by the terrible shake.
"After a moment, the shaking stopped. I was anxious and continued to chase, hoping to find the other person quickly. At that time, I was already stunned, otherwise I should have realized the strangeness." At this point, Lu Lie paused for a moment and smiled bitterly, "While I was chasing, I heard the voice of a young man above him. He seemed to say again, 'It's done..., a thousand pounds of stone, really blocked the stone hole.' The man's voice was still very familiar, but
I ignored it at all and continued to chase. The people above seemed to pause for a while, and the familiar male voice continued to speak, 'Everyone, take out all the food, let's calculate how many days we can move around.' They said something else intermittently. It's strange that no matter how I chased them, the voices and candlelight of those people were not far above me, but they always kept this faint distance from them and could not see them."
When Lu Lie said this, the faces of the cannibal owl, Yang Wei and the other two turned pale again. No matter how dull they were, they vaguely realized the problem.
Very beautiful swallowed and opened his mouth with difficulty: "Did you hear then that the few people above discussed whether to use the magic fruit as food, and then heard them ask about the life experience of one of them?"
Lu Lie nodded: "That's exactly that."
At this time, Yang Wei's face also changed, and he said, "Isn't this a conversation when we first entered this tomb? Why, you listened again there? What exactly are the few above imitating our words?"
"Don't you understand yet, Yang Wei." Very beautiful touched the floor with his nails, "In this tomb, not only space but also time is twisted. We thought we had broken the wall and entered a new space, but we didn't know that we were just spinning in this different space! Any unit of measurement in the normal world has lost its meaning here. Time is disrupted and displayed in front of us in a random form. The space is also chaotic, losing its edges and boundaries. This is a world that cannot be understood by ordinary people and has no logic!
"What Lu Lie saw there was the projection of our past time and space."
