Chapter five hundred and twenty second secret passage
The passage is quiet, has no twists and turns, and goes straight forward. Apart from the coldness and occasional cold wind, there is nothing weird about it.
Lin Mo was a little disappointed.
He was in front and Nie Hong was behind. From the 5 minutes since entering, not even a ghost was seen.
"Didn't you say it's weird here? Where is it? What's weird? Come out and let me take a look."
Lin Mo couldn't help but muttered.
Nie Hong from behind smiled: "Wouldn't it be better if it goes smoothly?"
"That's true."
Lin Mo kept walking.
Since you won't encounter anything weird, let's go forward. According to the novelist's description of the secret passage, at the end of the passage, you will meet the manager of Ward 3.
Lin Mo thought about it, soft first and then hard, based on the principle of persuasion and education.
Walked for another 5 minutes.
Lin Mo realized something was wrong.
He hasn't reached the end yet.
Generally, a passage can be considered as long as one hundred meters, and according to the novelist's description, the third ward is located in other dimensions, which means it is not calculated in terms of distance.
It can be infinitely far or infinitely close.
Maybe if you stay where you are, you can still enter Ward 3 as long as the mechanism is triggered.
And now after walking for ten minutes, let alone 100 meters, there are already 500 meters.
But this passage still seems to have no end in sight.
At this time, Nie Hong said: "Don't go forward. We are going in a circle. It will be futile to go any further."
Lin Mo looked back at Nie Hong.
The latter pointed to the wall. Lin Mo looked closer and saw a scratch on the wall.
"Did you draw it?" Lin Mo asked.
Nie Hong nodded: "I made a mark before, but I was a little suspicious at the time, so I made a mark with a knife."
Lin Mo was a little dumbfounded now.
He looked at the scratches carefully and found that they were indeed fresh scratches. Nie Hong had made them himself and there was no way he could admit his mistake.
Lin Mo looked forward and then back.
"The passage is straight. We kept going forward without encountering any forks, but we circled back again. Let me go, isn't this an infinite corridor?" Lin Mo was very familiar with this.
This is the trick he used to trap the two-dimensional ghost.
I never expected that one day I would enjoy it myself.
However, Lin Mo is just guessing now, and to confirm this, just a scratch is not enough.
"In this way, you wait here while I walk forward. If it goes in a circle, I can come back. If not, I will come back to you." Lin Mo thought of a way.
Nie Hong has no objection.
Next, Nie Hong waited in place while Lin Mo walked forward.
This time Lin Mo calculated the time.
He walked at a normal speed, and five minutes later, he saw a person standing in front of him.
It was Nie Hong, who waved when he saw Lin Mo.
It is truly an infinite corridor.
Lin Mo's head was a bit big.
He has only used this thing against two-dimensional ghosts, and now he is trapped in a similar place. How can he escape?
Before, Lin Mo was thinking about when the weirdness of this secret passage would appear, but now he knew that the weirdness started from the moment he entered the passage.
Enemies that can be seen are easy to deal with, but enemies that cannot be seen are more troublesome.
This is the situation now.
"Can't we get out?" My sister asked at this time. She was lying on the ceiling, looking down with her head turned upside down. There was no trace of worry in her tone, on the contrary, she was very excited.
"Shh, don't disturb your brother's thinking." Mom scolded, but this time there was a hint of solemnity in her voice.
Apparently mom also knows what it means to be trapped here.
It's possible that you'll never get out.
Nie Hong was not surprised to see Lin Mo change his voice and speak, because Lin Mo had already told her about the situation before.
No one knew what to do now, so no one spoke for a while, and the passage fell into silence.
"Look for the secret door." Lin Mo recalled that there seemed to be no more descriptions of secret passages in the novelist's manuscripts he had read.
Maybe he didn't find it.
At the moment, we can only find the exit from the designer's perspective.
That is to say, put yourself in the role of a novelist and look at the problem.
"Those who write novels, despite their slovenly appearance, are actually very proud on the inside. To put it bluntly, they are a bit narcissistic. No matter what these people write, whether others appreciate it or not is a secondary matter. Anyway, they themselves will know it.
Treat it as a work of art and pursue perfection."
Lin Mo said to himself.
"If I were a novelist, if I were to simply design a passage to trap people, I would indeed not arrange an exit. However, this place has a premise, it is a passage, and the function of the passage is to connect two different areas."
"So in order to ensure the existence of this functionality, the passage cannot have no exit. The problem is how to discover it. The novelist should also hope that someone will discover his exquisite design, be surprised, and then admire him."
Lin Mo said something to Nie Hong at this time and started to use bricks to break the light bulbs on the wall.
In this passage, there is a light bulb every ten meters or so. The light bulb emits a weak light, but no matter how weak it is, there is still light.
It is still the theory of dark dimension, Lin Mo wants to try it, just in case it can work.
As the light bulbs were broken one by one, the passage was gradually swallowed up by darkness, like a dark snake swallowing the light source one by one.
A few minutes later, Lin Mo saw the last light bulb in front.
This time Lin Mo didn't rush to take action, but walked forward past the light bulb.
Sure enough, he found the first light bulb he broke. The fragments were still on the ground, exactly the same as before, which meant that they were back to the starting point.
There was only one last light bulb left, and Lin Mo wondered whether he should break it too.
Because for his current level of knowledge, the dark dimension is no longer difficult to guess. After all, Lin Mo has experienced it many times and is very familiar with it.
But he also has to consider what to do if the exit is not in the dark dimension.
Just when he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw this scene.
From the darkness in front, a bloody hand stretched out and held the only remaining light bulb. The next moment, the hand squeezed and the light bulb shattered.
The surroundings immediately fell into absolute darkness.
"There's a ghost!"
Lin Mo yelled and then rushed over excitedly.
After waiting for so long, I finally encountered a ghost. This is a good thing.
"Nie Hong, hurry up, hurry up, don't let it run away." Lin Mo shouted in the darkness.
After a while, I heard a strange noise, as if something was fighting.
"Who stabbed me with a needle? Damn it, steel, steel." Lin Mo shouted, and in the darkness, there was a muffled sound, a gasp, and then a painful scream.
Suddenly all that was left disappeared.
The entire passage fell into silence once again.
A minute later, a ball of flames appeared. Lin Mo grabbed the brick with one hand, and the other hand, together with Nie Hong, pressed down on a figure on the ground.
The knife in Nie Hong's hand was pressed against the opponent's neck.
Her knife can kill people, and it can also kill ghosts.
The man on the ground was covered in blood, his clothes were in tatters, his skin was covered with wounds, his flesh and blood were protruding, and it hurt just to look at him.
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much!"
This guy started to moan.
Something strange happened.
Nie Hong immediately retracted her hand and stared at the other party in disbelief.
Lin Mo also let go of his hand.
Because just now, they felt severe pain at the same time. The pain was like the skin being cut open with a sharp knife, and then salt was sprinkled on the wound.
The pain index reached its peak almost instantly.
It was an accident, so Lin Mo and Nie Hong let go of their hands reflexively.
"Is it a curse?"
Lin Mo has unparalleled insight into curses.
The ghost on the ground immediately got up and ran away.
"Chase!" Lin Mo responded quickly and called Nie Hong to rush over.
Under the light of the brick flames, the ghost was running in front, with Nie Hong and Lin Mo chasing after him.
After a while, I saw the ghost in front of me opening a door and ducking in.
The other party wanted to close the door, but Nie Hong was faster. He went up and stabbed the door, inserting the blade into the crack of the door.
This time the door won't close.
Only then did Lin Mo and Nie Hong realize that when did a door appear here?
The two looked at each other.
"Exit found!"
The ghost on the other side of the door was pulling hard on the door. Here, Lin Mo and Nie Hong were pulling hard on the door, and the two sides were locked in a struggle.
As the door was opened bit by bit, the ghost inside also let out an angry roar.
"It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much!"
The next moment, dense bloody hands appeared on the entire door panel, grabbing at Lin Mo and Nie Hong.
