Chapter 35 Spine Suspension Bridge

"Well...."
When Wang Changle regained consciousness, a gust of foggy wind from the valley bottom blew over his face, bringing with it a sticky moisture. He rubbed his face and looked around.
He suddenly discovered that this was a majestic canyon, and he was standing on a suspension bridge made and connected by thousands of human spines.
As for why Wang Changle knew that what he stepped on was a human spine and not the bones of other creatures, he couldn't tell. This was the first time he had seen it, but after just a glance, this information quickly emerged.
in my mind.
And if you look around, everything you see is either a cave passage formed by complex, ups and downs.
Either it is the suspension bridge of millions of spines floating between the cliffs, or the darkness extending infinitely downward.
But at some point, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a dark and lightless cave appearing behind him.
Wang Changle suddenly turned his head and looked back. With just one glance, he felt extremely dangerous and heart-pounding. He suddenly had the idea of ​​​​escape, and this idea became stronger and stronger.
He subconsciously chose to believe that he would walk through the cliffs along the Bone Suspension Bridge and keep running to quickly get away from the cave behind him.
However, it was not until half an hour later that Wang Changle gradually stopped. He found that even though he had passed a series of cliffs and crossed countless dangerous peaks, the spine suspension bridge in front of him still stretched endlessly.
There is no end in sight, which is not right.
This scene is very similar to the Penrose stairs that I experienced when entering the lost ruins on the alien planet, but this time the situation is different from before.
Indeed, although the spine suspension bridge in front stretched endlessly, the dark cave behind him still existed.
Yes, no matter how fast Wang Changle was or how far he traveled, every time he looked back behind him, the dark cave would appear a hundred meters behind him.
Impartially, even the distance did not decrease by one point. He looked at the same spine suspension bridge at his feet again. It felt as if he had always stood in the same place and never moved.
But along the way, Wang Changle saw a large number of creatures that only existed in the Cthulhu literature in the intricate caves he saw along the way.
Among them, there are the 'Womi Giants' who resemble primitive savages but are extremely large in size. They travel in huge caves and carry huge rocks on their backs whenever they appear.
There are also snake people wandering on the stone pillar plank road, but compared to the snake people Wang Changle saw in the dreamland, their bodies are more like snakes than humans. In other words, their upper body is human but they have no hands, and their lower body is a snake body.
.
Or, there are some invisible children clinging to the passage, or hiding in the darkness like black mud. Although they have different postures, they always exude the pungent smell of petroleum.
Although Wang Changle did not smell the pungent smell of petroleum, when he saw the Invisible Son, the pungent smell of petroleum would appear in his mind.
Of course, in addition to this, there are hundreds of species of beings born out of the toad family, but with different forms in those caves.
Whenever Wang Changle looked over, these strange beings would collectively sneak into the darkness, and then quickly poke their heads out.
Although Wang Changle was unable to communicate with these creatures due to the great distance, he could still sense the strange sense of curiosity through the emotions in their eyes. As for the specific weirdness, he couldn't tell.
These real and weird feelings made him sure that he was not standing still, but precisely because of this, the weird feeling in his heart became stronger.
"Huh~"
Suddenly, a gust of foggy wind from the valley bottom blew in his face, carrying the same sticky moisture, but this time, Wang Changle felt extremely calm and relaxed in his heart.
Wang Changle could feel that everything he experienced was so real, but his heart always felt extremely absurd and weird, as if he had entered some kind of special 'loop'.
Yes, cycle. When the fog and wind blew past his face, this word suddenly popped up in his mind.
For just a moment, Wang Changle couldn't tell what this so-called 'cycle' was, but he had this vague feeling in his subconscious, a very certain feeling.
But it was a very strange feeling, as if he was sensing the emotions of those creatures in the dark. It was as strange as when he saw the spine suspension bridge for the first time, and it was so familiar.
Vaguely, the strange feeling of information confusion became more intense, and his brain ached slightly, but he could feel that he seemed to have grasped something key.
Wang Changle didn't encounter any danger or suffer any harm along the way, but he always felt that something was wrong.
After he breathed a long sigh of relief, he began to think carefully, well, it seemed that... every time the fog and wind blew in his face, he would forget some things.
But Wang Changle himself couldn't tell what exactly he had forgotten, but he was sure that he had forgotten something, and this was what made him feel confused.
He remembered traveling through different worlds and the various battles he had experienced. However, when he sorted out all the information he had, he could not remember why he was here.
"Well... What should I have come to this place for? But what exactly is it for..."
Just as Wang Changle was muttering to himself and piecing together his memories bit by bit, an extreme sense of danger struck from behind again.
Wang Changle subconsciously rushed forward, then quickly turned his head and looked back, only to see that the cave behind him had appeared, only ten meters away from him. If it hadn't been for his dash, he would have been killed just now.
Swallowed.
Suddenly, he looked at the dangerous cave with a gloomy expression, and then looked thoughtfully at the endless spine suspension bridge.
The next moment, Wang Changle's face showed a look of cruelty, and he quickly turned over and jumped into the darkness.
After passing through the endless darkness, Wang Changle saw clearly the scene at the bottom of the abyss, but his pupils shrank for a while.
There were two of his own 'corpse' lying there, both of them in pieces.
In the moment of life and death, he thought a lot and confirmed that he was indeed trapped in a 'death loop'.
If he 'dies', he will return to the Spine Suspension Bridge again. This is why he felt so familiar when he first saw the Spine Suspension Bridge, and why those creatures looked at him strangely.
Feeling curious.
Obviously, if you die here, your external body will not be too seriously damaged due to multiple protection measures, but your memory will be reset and even part of the information will be forgotten.
With Wang Changle's current health and protection, it would be impossible to trigger the 'patience' effect without dying dozens of times.
And after dying dozens of times, he may forget more and more information as he goes through his own 'cycle', and he will even forget his thoughts of 'patience' and seeking death.
Looking at the lake at the bottom getting closer and closer, Wang Changle understood that he would definitely die this time, and he must now work hard for the next 'cycle'.
He looked at his face reflected on the water, and an idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately released his 'bewitchment', and a seed of suggestion was immediately buried deep in his heart.
Chapter completed!
