The young girl was so frightened that she froze in place and didn't know how to pick up the flashlight at her feet.
"Girl, don't be afraid. Take a closer look at this flashlight. Is it the one you dropped earlier?" a calmer tourist reminded.
However, this also caused some bad speculations to arise in everyone's minds.
Someone said: "If so, does it mean that it is impossible for us to go back the way we came?"
"Could we go up, walk, and then return to the starting point from below... It's like a ghost hitting a wall!"
As soon as this statement came out, the expressions of the tourists were not very good.
The braver ones took the opportunity and said, "Since you can't get out anyway, why not continue down and take a closer look at the situation!"
The young girl from before came to her senses at this time. She picked up the flashlight at her feet: "This is the flashlight I dropped before. It's over, we really can't get out!"
There was some crying in her voice: "I don't want to continue exploring, I want to go back..."
Seeing that the tense crowd was already divided, Qi Ziyu, who had been watching quietly before, finally came out to control the situation.
Qi Ziyu said: "Why don't we divide our troops into two groups? If you are willing to continue exploring further, follow me down."
"If you want to return the same way, the driver will lead the group and return to the car to rest first."
Only then did Zhou Sheng notice that the driver of the bus they came on had been following Qi Ziyu.
The driver had been sitting in the driver's seat and driving, and Zhou Sheng had not observed him carefully.
Now, just judging from his stance and muscle control, this person should be very strong and might be more than just an ordinary driver.
"But even if we want to go back, can we really leave along this road?" someone questioned.
Qi Ziyu said: "Don't worry, have you ever heard of the principle of ghosts breaking through walls?"
Liu Ruyan, who was walking in the front, also came over at this time. She said: "There are generally two situations when ghosts break into walls, both of which are caused by people's misunderstandings."
"The first is a somatosensory illusion. When you blindfold your eyes, you think you are walking in a straight line. However, because the muscle development of the two legs of the human body is often different, you will actually walk in a circle.
Back to square one again.”
"The second type, on the contrary, is an optical illusion. People's visual reference objects appear to be straight, but in fact there are arcs that cannot be discovered. When people walk along the reference objects, they will eventually form a circle.
Back to square one.”
Of course, both of these are "ghosts beating the wall" that can be explained scientifically.
Although everyone is still unable to summarize the situation before them into some scientific explanation.
But in Liu Ruyan's calm voice, everyone's nervousness dissipated a lot.
Qi Ziyu continued: "So, in this corridor, the surrounding soil is probably the cause of our visual misalignment."
"I suggest that no matter whether you are walking up or down, everyone except the person leading the group should close their eyes."
"We are divided into two groups. If we cannot get out, the worst result is that the two groups will meet here again. Then we will think of other ways."
Qi Ziyu's calm arrangements once again calmed everyone's emotions.
People gradually calmed down and divided into two small groups.
During this period, Zhou Sheng and Liu Ruyan glanced at each other inadvertently, and immediately understood what the other meant. Liu Ruyan continued to explore downwards, taking the lead.
Zhou Sheng, on the other hand, held Liuli in his arms and stood calmly among the people who wanted to return.
But with Zhou Sheng's current appearance, before he even took two steps closer to the crowd, the crowd immediately took ten steps back.
In the end, two small teams were indeed formed on the front and rear sides, but Zhou Sheng was left alone in the middle.
Qi Ziyu stepped forward, took out a towel from his bag and handed it to Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng pretended to wipe it, then thanked him and returned the towel. His face was still disguised, and Zhou Sheng did not dare to wipe his face hard.
Therefore, Zhou Sheng's current appearance still looks very scary.
After Qi Ziyu took the towel, she looked at it thoughtfully, wondering what she was thinking.
The people who wanted to return initially did not agree with Zhou Sheng to go with them. After Qi Ziyu's repeated persuasion, the tourists reluctantly agreed to let Zhou Sheng follow them from a distance.
At this time, someone else raised doubts: "The people behind can close their eyes to avoid illusions, but what about the people leading the way?"
Qi Ziyu smiled confidently and took out two red candles from his bag.
"This is the red candle used by a prince at his wedding. That prince was of genuine blood of the Emperor, so the yang energy and joy in this red candle will definitely keep evil spirits away."
"The leader lights the red candle, holds it in front of him, and then just stares at the projection of the wax light and walks forward, so that he will not be disturbed by the surrounding things."
Liu Ruyan stepped forward and unceremoniously pulled out a red candle from Qi Ziyu's hand: "Take it out earlier next time. This is much easier to use than a lighter."
Qi Ziyu scratched his head and explained with a slight embarrassment: "There are not many red candles left. I originally wanted to use it in the tomb in case I encounter something strange."
Liu Ruyan calmly looked at the red candle carefully, and then cast a no problem look at Zhou Sheng.
Although this red candle is not as effective as Qi Ziyu's description, at least it will not cause harm to people like them.
Liu Ruyan said: "Then in the line going down, I will light the red candle and lead the line."
Liu Ruyan acted very neatly and immediately started to act.
Naturally, there was no reason for the upward-moving team to stay for a long time. After the driver took the red candle, he also lit it and walked at the front.
The people behind them lined up in a row, closed their eyes one after another, and put their hands on the shoulders of the person in front.
As for Zhou Sheng, no one wanted to be put on his shoulders, so the penultimate person tied a rope around his wrist and pulled Zhou Sheng at the end from a distance.
Zhou Sheng couldn't ask for this special treatment.
After all, it is easier for him to cause trouble if no one sees it!
As the upward team walked, a trembling voice came from behind: "Brothers, brothers, the person behind me seems to be missing."
"From the beginning, I couldn't feel any strength on the rope in my hand. I was worried, so I closed my eyes and pulled the rope back, but now I have reached the end of the rope."
"I don't know if that person just let go of the rope and followed silently, or if he has disappeared." He wanted to open his eyes and look back to see what was going on.
The driver walking at the front quickly responded: "Leave him alone and don't look back. According to the distance, we are almost out!"
