At first, Xu Chunru and others thought it was Du Yifeng's fault.
But as they walked, everyone understood that this was not a problem with Du Yifeng leading the way, but that there was something wrong with this damn place again.
Zhou Jian was even more surprised. He looked around and said in disbelief: "Is this Didi Paradise? How come these equipments are so broken?"
Not to mention Zhou Jian was surprised, Jiang Yue and the others were equally surprised.
Although they were surprised once when they came in this morning.
Compared with that time in the morning, these facilities are obviously much more dilapidated. Not only are the paints on the equipment peeling off and the colors are bleaker, but many places are even severely cracked and tattered to the point that one suspects that this place is at least somewhat abandoned.
More than ten years.
In comparison, when I saw it in the morning, I probably felt like I had wasted three to five years.
"What happened to this place?" Zhou Jian murmured.
He has seen far less strange events than Jiang Yue and others, and his level of psychological acceptance is naturally far inferior.
Jiang Yue silently gave Xu Chunru and Du Yifeng the blessing of blessing them with a halo of immunity from all evil.
As for Han Jingjing, the blessing was given in the middle of the night yesterday, and there are still several hours before the expiration date. If there is an unexpected need, I will wait for the opportunity to act.
As for Yu Siyuan and Zhou Jian, Jiang Yue was no longer able to take care of them both.
The mutual encouragement and blessing can only be used three times a day. Du Yifeng and Xu Chunru are the sponsors after all and cannot sit idly by.
After using it twice out of three times, it would be unfair to give the remaining one to anyone, so I keep it for a rainy day.
Jiang Yue would naturally not be blessed with the aura of immunity from all evil for no reason.
The current situation made Jiang Yue feel a little uneasy and reminded him of a past incident.
That was the first evil spirit he encountered in the early days of the strangeness.
Year Eaters!
Although there are no traces of the Year Eaters' actions in everything now, the signs are very similar to the consequences of the Year Eaters' destructive power.
In just a few days, everything here seemed to have had ten or twenty years stolen away. From prosperity to desolation it seemed like it was just a blink of an eye, completely omitting the long process in between.
It is said that time makes people grow old. Even the cruelty of the old man is just killing people with a slow knife.
This is like the great destiny of heaven and earth using the Great Withering Technique to wipe out twenty years overnight.
Although this was just Jiang Yue's guess, this inexplicable feeling of uneasiness made Jiang Yue unable to take it lightly.
"We must leave here as soon as possible." Jiang Yue's tone was more solemn than ever.
Things like emotions can easily pass on and influence each other.
Especially for a person with a strong aura like Jiang Yue, even if a little bit of emotion is leaked, other people can easily feel it and can't help but be affected.
Xu Chunru and Han Jingjing asked if something had happened.
Jiang Yue shook his head: "I can't say what the situation is. This place makes me very uneasy."
These words shocked the others.
What circumstances would make Jiang Yue say uneasy words?
You know, earlier in the weird dense forest, I was going back and forth and couldn't find the way. I didn't hear Jiang Yue mention the word uneasy, nor did he show how uneasy he was.
Even when he reached the weird abyss and canyon area, Jiang Yue didn't feel uneasy. He even walked backwards in the thick fog to check the situation.
But at this moment, Jiang Yue said uneasy words.
This made everyone unmoved.
"Isn't there a turning space here?"
Previously on the edge of the stream, those rotating boulders were impressive.
Could it be that this place is just repeating its old tricks?
Once you figure out the rules of this place, will the way out reappear?
But this is a children's play area, and each facility occupies a huge area, which is different from those boulders.
Those huge rocks occupy only a circle of about ten meters in diameter.
And in this area, every amusement project is bigger than that circle.
There are more than a dozen projects, covering more than ten times the area?
Even if you want to take a photo, you can't do it.
Because no one can be sure whether they have already stood outside the circle.
Assuming that there really is a circle like the boulder area, how can we determine this circle? How can we determine whether we are standing outside the circle?
If you can't get out of this circle, how can you take pictures?
How can we capture the perspective of an outsider when we are all insiders?
Without an outsider's perspective, how can we see that everything in the circle is moving?
But if you can jump out of this circle, wouldn't it mean you have escaped this vicious circle that you can't get out of?
Therefore, in a sense, they are trapped in a paradox.
Jiang Yue knew that delaying like this was not an option.
Recently, he has been trying his best to restrain himself and not have too much dealings with Zhiling, a scammer, so as not to cause too many causal entanglements.
But the current situation is really hopeless.
The last time the lucky wheel was drawn, one free inquiry per day was granted. Since then, Jiang Yue has not used it once.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use it, but based on the judgment of the spirit's urine properties, he felt that if he went to seek help from the spirit every day, he would probably be judged as worthless by the spirit.
This scammer is moody, so if you can avoid dealing with him, don't come to him.
So--
There's nothing you can do, just use it once.
Anyway, it's free and doesn't cost points, although Jiang Yue doesn't think he can use those points.
Communicate with the wise, briefly describe the current situation, and seek guidance.
Jiang Yue mentioned this once before when he needed points to ask questions. In terms of answering questions and solving problems, Zhiling was quite serious and didn't make any fuss.
Although it's free this time, there are no tricks.
"It is suspected to be a time puzzle. When the time puzzle is activated, time will be confused. The speed of time in the time puzzle will be a hundred times that of the outside world. There is no upper limit."
"The time puzzle is a time game. If you want to get out of the time puzzle, you must follow the rules of time. The flow of time is irreversible, and if you go against it, it will be broken."
"If you move forward for a second, you will move backward for a second. If you move forward for a moment, you will move backward for a moment..."
Zhiling did not chatter with Jiang Yue. After giving these answers, he broke off communication with Jiang Yue.
Lost in time?
Why does it sound more and more fantasy?
In this vast world, how could this so-called time mystery appear in Hao Duanduan?
I have to say that Jiang Yue was indeed frightened.
If the speed of time in the Time Maze starts at a hundred times, then if one day is delayed here, it will be a hundred days in the outside world?
Is this just the starting price?
The scariest thing is the last sentence, there is no upper limit!
What if it rotates to a thousand times or even higher, wouldn't it turn into a set of white bones or even fly ash after one second?
Listen to what Zhiling means, isn't it possible that even the aura of immunity from all evil can withstand the powerful power of the Time Mystery Realm?
Fortunately, at present, the appearance of everyone has not changed drastically. It is probably still in the initial stage and has not entered a high-speed operation state.
If it were running a hundred times, it would only take them less than twenty minutes at most.
Even if it is a hundred times, it is more than a thousand minutes, which is only one day.
But who knows how this time mystery works? What if it accidentally runs a thousand times?
As the stay gets longer and longer, it grows exponentially, and the consequences are simply unimaginable.
Jiang Yue made a prompt decision and called everyone to stop.
Shen Sheng asked: "Who knows the specific time when we come out?"
"I looked at my phone at that time. It was six twenty-three, and now it's six forty." Du Yifeng said.
"Okay, everyone, follow me and go in the opposite direction in the direction we originally walked! The time is also seventeen minutes, no more, no less."
Jiang Yue said, taking the lead in starting his steps.
The others were all confused and had no idea what Jiang Yue was doing.
But for such a long time, obeying Jiang Yue has become a habit.
Seeing Jiang Yue's footsteps, the others couldn't help but follow Jiang Yue's footsteps and start walking backwards, even if they had doubts in their minds.
Jiang Yue walked backwards and thought carefully.
As Zhiling pointed out, this is a game of time.
So is it possible to get out of the perplexity by going retrograde for seventeen minutes?
Do we need to consider factors such as stride length, speed, and whether there are any pauses?
If you want to consider these detailed factors, it would be too difficult to achieve complete conservation.
The passage of time is irreversible, and if you go against it, it will be destroyed.
Jiang Yue kept thinking about this sentence.
Does this retrograde mean reversing the flow of time? Can the mystery of time be solved and can we get out of it?
Jiang Yue felt uneasy.
But since Zhiling said so, he could only do it.
According to Jiang Yue's many dealings with Zhiling, this guy will dig a lot of holes, but he still won't talk nonsense on this kind of issue.
"This children's amusement park is so dilapidated that it looks like it has been abandoned for at least twenty or thirty years. From the day of the first change to now, it is only six or seven days. If it is a hundred times longer, then the total is only six or seven hundred days.
In total, it’s less than two years. It’s definitely not like this…”
In other words, at this time, the Time Confusion Realm may be running a thousand times faster.
What's more, maybe it's running a thousand times faster now.
A thousand times seventeen minutes, which is 17,000 minutes, which equals about 283 hours, which is about half a month!
Although Jiang Yue was still not sure whether it would run a thousand times, he became more and more anxious after the idea came up.
They must leave as soon as possible, otherwise, when it turns from a thousand times to ten thousand times, their lives will be unbearable.
Du Yifeng, who was holding Zhou Jian on his shoulders, couldn't help but complain.
"Jiang Yue, are you sure you're not walking us?"
The others were just carrying backpacks, and the load was not heavy. He was carrying another person, and the load was more than a hundred kilograms more than the others.
Although it is not a big problem, if you continue to move at high speed for a long time, you will inevitably become tired.
The most important thing is that I feel unhappy psychologically. I can't help but feel suspicious and suspicious. I feel that Jiang Yue is targeting him and deliberately trying to trouble him.
Jiang Yue said coldly: "Shut up if you want to go out."
Not to mention Du Yifeng was shocked by Jiang Yue's attitude, Han Jingjing, Xu Chunru and others were also a little surprised.
Usually Jiang Yue is not like this.
Even in the dangerous jungle before, Jiang Yue had never used such a scolding tone. Even if Du Yifeng sometimes had a bad tone, Jiang Yue would just treat it indifferently, never blushing or saying a word of grudge.
words.
When Zhang Jiye made various rude remarks, didn't Jiang Yue also fall out?
Du Yifeng and Jiang Yue are still classmates after all, their relationship with each other is not bad, and they are still employers in name.
Logically speaking, there was no reason for Jiang Yue to lose his composure like this.
Du Yifeng is a person who knows how to assess situations very well. His character is like a spring. When you are weak, he will definitely bounce back.
When you are hard, he will take it back very knowingly.
It's not that he doesn't want to rebound, but he knows very well that he can't afford to offend Jiang Yue, at least for now.
As Jiang Yue walked, he calculated the time and calculated it accurately.
At the same time, keep an eye on your surroundings.
He was thinking, if there is a gap in the time puzzle, what signs will appear, what will it look like, and what kind of prompts will there be?
As they were walking, the sound of crying suddenly came to everyone's ears.
Then, everyone saw a crying boy trotting past them, passing them by.
The little boy looked to be about five or six years old at most. He seemed to be lost with his parents. He was crying helplessly and blindly as he trotted along.
Xu Chunru couldn't help shouting: "Kid, wait a minute, you..."
Jiang Yue suddenly grabbed Xu Chunru who was about to turn around and shouted: "Don't look back, don't look."
Xu Chunru was anxious: "That's a child, can you bear to see him get lost alone in this place?"
"I emphasize again, no matter what you see, no matter what happens, don't look back, let alone go back. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Xu Chunru was angry: "Jiang Yue, you!"
She obviously didn't finish what she said, but her expression said it all. She was saying that Jiang Yue was cold-blooded, and for such a young child, even if everyone was in trouble, he would never ignore death.
Du Yifeng stood by Jiang Yue this time: "Sister Ru, please stop meddling in other people's business. How do you know that the child you saw must be a child? Don't you find it strange? There is not a single ghost in this place.
, a child suddenly appears, he is probably not a normal human being."
Han Jingjing didn't say anything. She was actually mentally biased toward Xu Chunru. Girls were soft-hearted after all and couldn't bear to see such a tragic scene.
But she also knew that Jiang Yue must have reasons for doing what he did.
"Keep walking!" Jiang Yue decided with one word and didn't bother at all.
It's said to be going backwards, but in fact it's just going in circles around the children's playground, just in a different direction.
It's just that the circle area is relatively large, so when it turns, everyone doesn't feel like they are spinning in place, but more like running in circles on the playground.
After running for two or three minutes, suddenly there was another burst of crying, and it was the same child. Facing their direction, they met again.
This time, the child cried even more sadly. In just two or three minutes, the clothes on the child seemed to be quite worn.
When everyone saw this scene, their hearts were suddenly filled with a strange feeling.
The child is still the same child, why do you feel that the child has changed again?
The clothes are still the same, why are they so worn out all of a sudden?
And this child seems to have grown up suddenly? He looks at least one or two years older?
