117. Chapter 117
Chapter 117
Mainly, Wei Yuan also discovered that except for him and Jiang Shan, everyone else's mental state was obviously on the high-voltage line.
This is very dangerous, like a time bomb, you don't know when it will explode.
"Please turn right ahead." A tattered metal sign stood at a fork.
In addition, there is an arrow drawn on it, painted with red paint and rusty, but the direction indicated can still be seen.
Zhao Ying suddenly said: "No, it's a left turn."
The others raised their vicissitudes of face again and looked at Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying said categorically: "I remember clearly that it was a left turn."
Zhao Ying had walked through this tourist passage so many times that she couldn't remember it wrong. She was very sure of it.
And since this sign is so old, it may have been placed in the wrong place a long time ago.
Wei Yuan said: "Just go in the direction Zhao Ying said."
Others were not familiar with the aquarium, so of course they could only follow along. Seeing that everyone trusted her, Zhao Ying couldn't help but feel a little more confident.
When Jiang Shan passed by the sign, she couldn't help but look at the bottom of the sign. Her eyes moved, as if she had discovered something, but she didn't say anything. She quickly followed the large group.
"This place is like a maze, with twists and turns. Which crazy designer designed it?"
The main reason is that there is no exit space, which makes people feel depressed.
Soon, they passed another fork in the road, where a sign was also placed, and the arrow on the sign pointed directly to the right: "Please turn right ahead."
It's the same slogan again, with the exact same arrow and direction.
Zhao Ying was silent for a moment and said: "It's impossible... We should still go to the left here."
Zhang Zheng couldn't help but said: "You are really not sure, Zhao Ying?"
Now everyone is shrouded in semi-darkness. Only Zhao Ying is holding a flashlight. They are almost half blind.
Zhao Ying said firmly again: "This sign is not accurate."
Jiang Shan glanced at Zhao Ying and saw that Zhao Ying pushed the sign, but as soon as she touched it, the metal sign instantly turned into a pile of powder.
…
Zhao Ying turned around and said, "Everyone, believe me and follow me."
Wei Yuan moved his wheelchair and nodded silently towards Zhao Ying.
Gao Wenwu said: "Maybe someone deliberately placed wrong signboards to lead us in the wrong direction."
Gao Wenwu, who has experienced the shadow man in the library, now obviously has more awareness of the unknown darkness.
Jiang Shan wanted to say something, but didn't say anything.
It stands to reason that it can be accessed no matter left or right. The aquarium will not leave a blocked path for guests.
Zhao Ying also seemed to explain: "If some people get tired during the visit, or if there is an emergency, staff will guide them to leave through another exit. That way they will have to go back."
It seems reasonable.
But when everyone slowly came to the third fork in the road, everyone became a little silent. There was still a sign here that read: Please go left ahead.
Okay, this time I finally went to the left.
But Zhao Ying began to show hesitation again, and as expected she said: "This...should go to the right."
Several people looked at each other. If no one really meant it, this would be a bit of a joke.
Zhao Ying seemed to be a little affected by her mentality, "I remember correctly, this is indeed to the right."
Others looked at Zhao Ying. The flashlight hit her face, which turned a little blue. Everyone felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Zhao Ying's condition.
"Zhao Ying, do you need to take a rest?"
It was indeed too stressful to lead them forward alone in the dark.
Zhao Ying stared at Zhang Zheng who was speaking, "Do you think I took everyone in the wrong direction?"
Zhang Zheng choked for a moment: "I didn't say that."
Zhao Ying's expression suddenly changed: "Is that what you mean?"
Suddenly there was a smell of gunpowder. Wei Yuan frowned, and just as he was about to speak, Zhang Zheng already said: "Zhao Ying, have you taken gunpowder?"
Zhao Ying seemed to laugh angrily for a moment: "Zhang Zheng, you are a coward yourself. Even if you don't dare to go ahead, you still doubt me now?"
Zhang Zheng seemed stunned by the scolding, and the word coward seemed to have stepped into his nerves, "Who did you just say? Zhao Ying?"
Jiang Shan had already noticed something was wrong just now, but she remained silent. Although Zhang Zheng and Zhao Ying occasionally bickered, they had never attacked each other directly like now.
"Do you have the guts to say it again?" Zhang Zheng's face seemed to turn slightly blue.
Zhao Ying looked like she could fight for her life when she was angry.
Wei Yuan shouted: "That's enough!"
Zhao Ying and Zhang Zheng were both shocked for a moment, but the deathly blue expressions on their faces did not change at all.
Zhang Zheng suddenly turned his face and looked at everyone: "Didn't you notice that something is wrong with Zhao Ying?"
Gao Wenwu's expression seemed to move.
He was silent for a moment and slowly spoke: "I just saw that those signs... had nails fixed at the bottom corners, and they were nailed to the ground."
In other words, it is impossible for anyone to move it, which only means that the original sign pointed in one direction.
An eerie silence fell in the air all around.
Jiang Shan wanted to say something but didn't say anything. In fact, she had already seen it just now.
It's just that Zhao Ying was too convinced, and no one doubted her truth, so they followed her through three opposite forks in the road.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Ying's face was completely pale, "You don't believe me?"
Jiang Shan immediately said: "We don't believe you, Zhao Ying." In other words, if you don't believe it, it is impossible for you to choose to follow Zhao Ying three times in the opposite direction when you clearly see the sign nailed to the ground.
.
Zhao Ying seemed very excited. After all, she had been under pressure and she was the one responsible for leading the way. At this time, everyone's doubts deeply stimulated her nerves. She looked at everyone's face and felt that they were now using
He looked at himself with distrustful eyes.
"Look," Zhang Zheng pointed at Zhao Ying as if he had caught something, "I just said that her brain is not normal right now, and we can no longer let her lead the way!"
Jiang Shan screamed in his heart. Zhao Ying seemed to be really crazy, her eyes were bloodshot, and she walked straight towards Zhang Zheng.
"Zhao Ying!"
Wei Yuan shouted, but Zhao Ying seemed not to hear it. She held the flashlight tightly in her hand and was about to walk to Zhang Zheng.
The next second, Jiang Shan rushed over and hugged Zhao Ying tightly. "Zhao Ying! Calm down!"
This hug felt even more wrong. Zhao Ying struggled violently in Jiang Shan's arms. Her strength was not at all like that of the usually thin Zhao Ying.
Jiang Shan's heart skipped a beat, but Zhang Zheng sneered: "Are you so angry that I got you right?"
Zhao Ying suddenly struggled even more fiercely, staring at Zhang Zheng with bloodshot eyes.
Happy weekend everyone
