Angel rose slowly, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes... I don’t know how long it took, but he still hadn’t reached the stone wall above his head!
This is impossible! Angel remembers very clearly that although the stone wall above his head is high, it is definitely not so high that the top cannot be reached!
In other words, he is not in the maze of the underground tunnel, but inside a certain building. Now that he is out of the building, the sky is above his head, so he cannot touch the top? This possibility is also very small, because Angel can clearly feel the surroundings
There is no change in the air convection, and even outside, it is impossible to be so dark that you can't see your fingers.
Angel secretly speculated whether he had accidentally broken into some kind of ecstasy magic circle? Or was it a "ghost beating the wall"?
Jon once explained to Angel the phenomenon of "ghosts hitting walls". It is not a mysterious thing, it is just a movement that subconsciously enters biological instincts in a state of blurred self-perception. And the movement of biological instincts
, that is - circular motion.
So, in this absolute darkness, did he fly in an unconscious circle?
Angel didn't know. He felt that his sense of direction was correct, but he did not touch anything real.
However, Angel does not rule out this possibility. Because his current state is very strange, his own gravity is extremely low, so he can fly into the air. When there is gravity, he can know the direction of the center of the earth; now his gravity is reduced
, it may also be wrong to judge the direction of the center of the earth. In the infinite darkness, what he thinks is below may be to the left, or maybe to the right. This is considered a flaw after he loses gravity.
How to solve the problem of "ghost hitting the wall"? Jon once said four methods: "locate the direction with reference to objects", "identify the position of the starry sky", "concentrate and carefully observe the surrounding scene", "carry direct or indirect luminous objects with you",
The first three methods are obviously not suitable for Angel's current situation. Only the last method is more reliable.
Angel is not Nausicaa's kind of person who likes to smoke, and he doesn't have the habit of carrying fire sticks with him. But there is no fire, which does not mean that there is no way to shine.
Angel fumbled and took out the pocket watch from his underwear, skillfully opened the back cover of the watch case and took out the thin chip.
This thin chip is the holographic tablet given to him by Jon. Angel once read how to operate the holographic tablet. If he remembers correctly, there is a "flashlight" option in the control panel.
After Angel took out the holographic tablet, his tense mood relaxed slightly. At this moment of relaxation, he did not realize that the pocket watch he put back in his breast pocket did not feel as solid as he had imagined.
It has only one "shape" but no weight at all...
The holographic tablet was originally a smart watch, equipped with a watch strap. However, the strap had been worn. Later, after Angel obtained the holographic tablet, he tied a thin hemp rope through the holes on both sides. Angel quickly picked up the hemp rope.
Rope, tie the holographic tablet to your wrist.
After confirming that it was tied tightly, Angel controlled the buttons of the holographic tablet.
Press the power button——
After a while, there was no response. Neither the system startup screen nor the holographic projection appeared in front of me.
Angel frowned. He remembered clearly that he had charged the holographic tablet not long ago. When the battery was fully charged, the holographic tablet could be used continuously for several weeks without any problem.
So, what is the situation now? Could it be broken? Or, the special characteristics of the nightmare world make the holographic tablet useless?
Angel, with a hint of luck, pressed the switch again. Still no response.
"Damn it! Why did something go wrong at the critical moment? Come out!" Angel cursed in a low voice.
Just as he said these words, a strange change occurred in the mysterious world that he didn't know. If it were daytime, Angel could clearly see that the holographic tablet hanging on his wrist appeared.
Earthshaking changes.
The holographic tablet he originally took out, like the pocket watch, had only a 'shape' but no 'reality'. Its essence was actually illusory, but as Angel cursed, the originally illusory holographic tablet gradually appeared.
The real outline changes from virtual to real very quickly, just at the flick of a finger, the virtual and real are reversed, and the real and the fake are transposed!
Angel didn't know it at this time, and was still lamenting to himself.
When he pressed the switch again with a hint of anger and vent, a faint blue holographic projection suddenly appeared in front of him.
Looking at the system startup interface, Angel's eyes widened in surprise! Isn't it broken? Why can it be used now? Angel was completely confused. He was still a little angry before, but he was so surprised by this sudden change.
I don’t know whether it’s better to be angry or laugh.
Forget it, as long as it can be opened. In the nightmare world full of unknowns and dangers, Angel has no time to think about other issues. How to safely and smoothly reach the coordinate point provided by Sanders is his most important thing at the moment.
.
Through the faint blue light of the holographic projection, Angel could vaguely see the surrounding scene. Although the view was still unreal, he confirmed that there were no monsters around him.
Angel quickly found the "Flashlight" function option. As he pressed the virtual button, the boundless darkness was broken by a long bright light. Just like the morning star awakening the day, the surrounding dark fog was completely
Sweep it all away.
This was Angel's first time using the flashlight function. He never expected that its light would be so bright, and the intensity and range of the light also surprised Angel.
Looking along the beam of light, one can see almost endlessly.
"Good baby!" Angel's eyes lit up. Ever since he solved the mentor's puzzle and started using the tablet, he has not really studied many of the tablet's functions. He only knows a rough idea, such as the "flashlight" function.
, he only knew that it could be used for lighting at night, which didn’t sound like much. Oil lamps, torches, and candles could all be used for lighting at night, so he never tried it.
But he had no idea that the brightness was as bright as daylight, which was beyond his expectation.
Now it seems that he still underestimated the technical level of scientific and technological civilization. For many seemingly ordinary functions, just a one-sentence introduction cannot truly summarize their functions, and you still need to test them yourself.
With the illumination of a flashlight, Angel also has a certain grasp of the surrounding environment.
There is no doubt that he is currently in mid-air. When he shines the flashlight above his head, he can clearly see that the top stone wall is more than ten meters away. It can be seen that he may have really been blinded just now and was moving in a circular motion.
Angel shined the flashlight on the ground again, and when the light swept across the ground, his heart skipped a beat.
The moist land is covered with countless flowers. These flowers look normal at first glance, but under the strong light, Angel can clearly see the appearance of the flowers——
The petals, branches, and leaves are all fine, but in the center of the flower is a mouth that looks like a human being. The mouth opens and closes, and you can even clearly see the lips and tongue inside.
With countless flowers, there are countless mouths.
It was a good thing that Angel's light didn't shine through, but when the light swept across, all the flowers that were originally silent suddenly appeared strange.
Strange sounds came from the mouths of the flowers. They were either laughter, crying, mumbling, or muttering. The flowers also swayed, looking extremely creepy.
But none of this matters.
The most important thing is that Angel unexpectedly discovered that he seemed to be able to vaguely understand what these flowers were saying?!
