Just now, Cheng Yi was so frustrated that he simply sat down on the ground and buried his head between his legs.
But this also made it convenient for Xu Cheng.
In order to verify his guess, he grabbed Cheng Yi's arm and dragged it back and forth between the inside and outside of the golden thread.
Cheng Yi's butt just rubbed against the hot desert.
Fortunately, the pants the old man chose for him were strong and wear-resistant field overalls, otherwise they would probably leak.
Cheng Yi rubbed his butt back and forth, drawing another line on the desert with traces.
That line intersects with the golden thin line to form a "ten".
"I want to be alone and never go out..."
"What's wrong with me?"
"Extraordinary is so scary. I just want to squat at home and eat potato chips..."
"This place must be affected by extraordinary power!"
"..."
In the end, Cheng Yi was pulled to the other end of the golden thread by Xu Cheng and returned to his original state.
"Ah! It feels like a dream."
Cheng Yi covered his head and slowly stood up from the ground.
He covered his right arm that had just been grabbed by Xu Cheng, and asked doubtfully: "It feels like my arm has been clamped by a vise. Am I being attacked?"
Xu Cheng: "..."
Xu Cheng: "Ahem!"
Fortunately, Cheng Yi is not a person who cares about details that much.
He was also attracted by the strange things in the sky, and carefully analyzed his feelings just now.
"What happened to me just now?"
The old man knelt down and described to Cheng Yi what he had just done.
"You were just like..."
"Huh? Wait."
The old man wanted to say subconsciously: "You seemed to have changed a different person just now."
But before the words were spoken, the old man suddenly realized the error of this description.
How come he seems to be a different person?
If Cheng Yi had not met the old man in the village in the city, the pressure that the teacher put on Cheng Yi would have crushed him sooner or later.
By that time, Cheng Yi might be thinking about something similar to what he just said.
Like constantly escaping, resisting all contact with the outside world, fearing the extraordinary, etc...
Rather than saying that the Cheng Yi just now "seemed to be a different person", it would be better to say that the Cheng Yi in the state just now was "more like Cheng Yi himself".
To describe it in one sentence:
When Cheng Yi crossed that golden thin line, he became a more Cheng Yi!
…
While Cheng Yi was recovering, Xu Cheng knelt down and carefully observed the thin golden lines on the ground.
It was not painted on the ground, or sand of a different color.
But...
Light?
Yes, it is light.
It's like sunlight falling on the sheets through the cracks in the curtains.
Golden lines appear on the gravel.
When a layer of sand is removed, the position of the golden thread will not move, and the sand that moves away from the corresponding position will no longer have that golden color.
It seems to be a fixed "line", just like light, which cannot be affected by anything.
This must be "extraordinary".
Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes.
But is this "extraordinary" the ability of a certain person? Or is it the embodiment of the rules of a strange creature?
"It's an intensification of emotion."
The old man suddenly said something like this, reminding Xu Cheng.
"mood?"
"Yes, emotions."
The old man finally figured out how to describe this extraordinary change.
"The moment he crossed this line, Cheng Yi's own emotions were 'strengthened' to a large or even extreme level."
"Emotions, both positive and negative, are reinforced."
The old man nudged the dark-skinned guide who was unconscious in the jeep with his chin, and added:
"He is like that too."
The old man's words reminded Xu Cheng.
From this, all the anomalies surrounding that golden line segment seem to make sense.
…
Golden line segment.
It can be divided into inner and outer sides for the time being.
When someone enters the inside from the outside, that is, when they complete the action of "crossing the line segment," that person will be attacked by the "heat flow" that Chu Qiu felt.
That person's emotions will be extremely amplified, leading to "crazy" situations.
For example, the dark wizard.
He gives the impression to outsiders that he is a taciturn local.
But facing his hometown being developed into a tourist area, he must have felt very uncomfortable.
It's not about environmental protection or other messy things.
Mostly, it's for money.
A large number of outsiders poured into Lamba Town and started businesses that originally belonged to locals, leaving those honest and honest locals with no money to make.
As a witness to all this, the dark guide naturally felt a kind of anger toward outsiders in his heart.
Ever since, when the dark guide accidentally crossed the golden line while driving, the anger in his heart was infinitely magnified.
He started going crazy and ended up flipping the jeep over in the sand.
Cheng Yi agrees.
The moment he crossed that line, his emotions began to get out of control, and he eventually fell into an extremely low self-esteem.
"But this is a 'line segment'."
Xu Cheng murmured.
Line segment, which means that this golden thin line has two ends.
So it can be completely bypassed.
Xu Cheng dragged Cheng Yi over again.
This young man is really a good person. Even if he loses control of his emotions, he will not do anything to hurt others.
Xu Cheng pushed Cheng Yi to the inside of the golden thread, and Cheng Yi's mood immediately became extremely depressed.
After that, Xu Cheng pulled it back from the end of the line segment.
Cheng Yi's mood did not recover and he was still extremely depressed.
Sure enough, this thin golden line can really be bypassed.
Xu Cheng pushed Cheng Yi from the "outside" to the "inside" again.
At this moment, Cheng Yi's emotions intensified again, his whole body was shaking, and he even looked like he was about to cry.
"I can't do it, I can't do it..."
Xu Cheng quickly harassed Cheng Yi twice more to remove his emotional strengthening effect.
Cheng Yi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a confused look on his face.
"What happened?"
"Bear with me a little longer."
Xu Cheng came up with another idea that needed to be verified urgently.
He pushed Cheng Yi from the "inside" direction to the "outside" twice in a row.
Cheng Yi still looked confused.
"What happened?"
I see.
With Cheng Yi's help, Xu Cheng once again tried out two rules about the golden thread.
First, the golden thread is divided into "inside" and "outside". Repeated behavior from "outside" to "inside" will repeatedly strengthen the influence of the golden thread on emotions;
Second, if it is from "inside" to "outside", it will not affect people crossing the golden thin line.
These two pieces of information are crucial.
If we add that the golden thin line itself is a "line segment", then it will be even more beneficial to Xu Cheng and the others.
Because based on these three points, the golden thin line is not as tricky as it seems.
It can be avoided or resolved.
There are both avoidance methods and error tolerance.
The location where the dark guide was affected by the golden thread is not here, indicating that there is not only one such golden thread, but is distributed throughout the desert.
But even so, those golden thin lines are really not qualified as a trap.
Xu Cheng explained his speculation to everyone, and then stared at the golden thin line, thoughtfully.
On the other side, Cheng Yi, who is mostly a weird scientist, also had his own ideas after hearing Xu Cheng's inference.
He reached out his hand and activated the Black Water Mirror.
A few drops of black water fell on the sand, spreading in a rectangular shape, and eventually eroded about half of the thin golden line.
Cheng Yi took a deep breath and stepped across his black water mirror.
The location there should have belonged to the golden thread, but now it has been eroded by the black water mirror.
Then, Cheng Yi raised his head, his mood unchanged.
He grinned shyly, and at the same time knew the third rule about the golden thread:
Third, the golden thin lines can be eroded by the black water mirror, thereby losing the original rules.
