Chapter 595: Mobius channel
Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao immediately took off the silky cloak on his body, and the subordinates also made the same action one after another.
All of a sudden, in the dark and green environment, a group of people showed their hidden figures one after another.
Of course, Lei Xiao also left a hand of cards for himself.
Hu Zhang and Hong Ye, who had been wearing cloaks and did not speak, were still invisible.
"Okay, let's move on."
Lei Xiao took out Rolandell from the storage bracelet, and nodded to the subordinates.
In this way, in this dark green and spacious passage of the wet cave, the team started to move forward again.
It didn't take long before the familiar footsteps sounded again in front of Lei Xiao and his group.
Hearing this, under Lei Xiao's signal, all the subordinates of the main force stood up again, and put the weapons in their hands across their chests.
Before the lord's conjecture has been confirmed, every subordinate will naturally not relax in the slightest.
Clap, clap, clap...
The footsteps gradually approached, and this time, they still stopped on the opposite side of the group of people.
After a while, a familiar young male voice suddenly rang out from the opposite team: "Okay, there is no need to silence the voice now, I have figured out the true face of the weird footsteps."
Needless to say, this is Lei Xiao's voice.
"But my lord, if we talk like this, will the other party notice?"
A slightly nervous and crisp female voice followed closely behind.
"It's really embarrassing to hear my own voice like this."
Bai Wei touched the erect ears on the top of her head, smiled shyly and said softly.
While Bai Wei was speaking, Lei Xiao's response sounded again: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if the other party finds out, because the other party's true face is our own..."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
So far, it has been completely confirmed that the opposite is indeed the mirror image of his group.
Sure enough, when Lei Xiao said "Okay, all this is just our reasoning after all, next, let's verify it" was over.
Directly opposite, the figures of nine people emerged out of thin air one after another.
It was Lei Xiao, Chao Yan, Bai Wei, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Ariel, Bert, Ju Bai and Ye Cang.
For a moment, at the two ends of the Youlu cave wall, there stood exactly the same Lei Xiao and his party, which looked rather dramatic.
"It seems that we did not guess wrong."
Seeing himself on the other side, although he had already prepared himself, Lei Xiao still showed a rather surprised expression.
If you observe carefully, you can see that these mirror images look like you are seeing yourself in the mirror.
The only difference is that the whole body of the mirror image exudes a faint white fluorescence, which is quite ethereal.
At the same time, Ye Cang and Hong Ye, who were hidden under the cloak, had already stood beside the mirror image, and began to examine and perceive it carefully.
"My lord, this is just an ordinary non-physical mirror image, and there is no threat."
After a while, an elegant male voice sounded, Ye Cang bowed slightly and said.
"Exactly as I thought."
Noticing that all the mirror images took another step, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
"My lord, speaking of which, how did these mirror images appear?"
Looking at his own figure, bouncing and bouncing away gradually, Chaoyan turned his head with a puzzled expression.
"It should be caused by these dark green ores inlaid on the cave wall."
Ye Cang pushed the golden eyes on the bridge of his nose, and then responded.
Hearing the exchange between the two, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Regarding these forgiving ores, he had checked them from the very beginning.
The properties only indicate that this is a level 4 rare ore, as for the name and function, it is not displayed.
"Don't worry about the ore for now, we are facing a more difficult problem."
A crisp voice sounded, and Ariel folded her arms around her chest, and Dai Mei frowned slightly: "Why do these mirror images keep appearing in front of us?"
"Isn't this a very normal thing?"
I saw Chaoyan blinking her iconic big eyes, and said as it should be: "It must be these magical ores that constantly reflect our silhouettes, so they keep passing us, just like non-stop Like looking in a mirror."
"There seems to be something wrong."
Shaking his head slightly, Nan Xing said sarcasticly: "If this is the case, then what we see should be the real-time mirror image corresponding to our actions."
"But the reality is that every mirror image we see is not real-time, but the scene of our previous action."
Nanyue at the side took a step forward shyly, and then added: "For us, all the actions of the mirror image are delayed for a while."
"In that case, it is true!"
Hearing this, Chaoyan tilted her head and muttered, "Then why did such an unbelievable situation happen?"
"There is only one reason that can be explained, and that is that these mirror images are not continuously produced, but just like us, they have been walking in this passage."
Lei Xiao frowned and thought for a moment while looking at the mirror image where the figure was almost invisible.
Then he responded: "Because the route is exactly opposite to ours, and we are not synchronized with the other party's actions, this seems to be a delayed situation."
"My lord, in this way, we will return to the question mentioned by the subordinate just now."
Ariel, who was wearing a dark outfit and holding a short staff, frowned puzzled and said, "Why do these mirror images keep appearing in front of us?"
After a pause, Ariel clenched the fifth-level magic staff that had been suppressed, and added: "If you think of the mirror image as a group of people, in this straight passage, how could they fight over and over again?" Disappeared from behind us, and appeared in front of us again?"
"Yes, yes, the mirror image is completely following our action trajectory, and it is advancing. This is completely unreasonable."
Hearing this, Bai Wei became anxious, and accidentally pulled a bunch of white hair from her fluffy ear, and said in confusion.
"Since there is no problem with the mirror image, it is naturally very obvious that there is a problem."
Touching Bai Wei's head casually, Lei Xiao took a deep breath of the damp and earthy air, and said slowly.
Before that, Lei Xiao summed up two key points that need to be resolved.
The first is the true face of the weird invisible footsteps.
Second, it was the reason why invisible footsteps appeared repeatedly from the front of the team.
At this stage, the first problem has been solved.
Then, the next thing that needs to be solved is the second key point raised by Ariel.
"My lord, are you saying that this straight tunnel has its own problems?"
This time, Chaoyan's reaction was very quick, her starry eyes lit up immediately, and she blurted out.
"It's kind of weird to say that."
The sharp short blade in Nanyue's hand reflected a faint green brilliance under the illumination of the surrounding dark green ore, and thoughtfully said: "Since entering here, the width of this passage has never changed. ..."
"Moreover, because the light is too dim, everything around is hazy, almost impossible to distinguish."
The crossbow in Nan Xing's hand was already on the string, and he added.
"So, it creates the illusion that we've been going down a path we've never taken before."
Slightly raising his eyebrows, Lei Xiao concluded.
"My lord, what do you mean...we've been walking in circles for so long?!"
Hearing this, Ariel was astonished, and almost dropped the short staff in her hand to the ground, and said in disbelief, "How is this possible, we are obviously walking forward all the time? Moreover, we have not passed through any teleportation array." .
"In addition, there is also no sign of illusion."
Pushing the glasses on the bridge of the nose again, Ye Cang said in a deep voice, "However, your lord's conjecture is very reasonable. In this way, it can indeed explain why we have met the mirror image again and again."
I saw Ye Cang draw a circle in mid-air, and then said: "You know, we are moving in the opposite direction from the mirror image. If we are all going around in circles, we will indeed be able to keep meeting each other."
"Is it really a problem with this channel itself?"
Nodding thoughtfully, Ariel's fair face showed a hint of puzzlement again: "However, the passages we walked through are all straight, and there are no arcs or bends... How does a straight line create a cycle?"
Speaking of this, Ariel felt that her brain was about to smoke, and on her delicate face, she looked like she was about to go crazy.
It has to be said that even in the graduation exam of the most difficult subject of the Royal Academy of Nobility, she never felt so brain-intensive.
"Leave this question aside for now, let's first verify whether this straight passage is really a loop."
Gently patted Ariel on the shoulder to signal her to relax, and Lei Xiao immediately made an action plan.
The nimble sisters Nan Xing and Nan Yue ran forward at a low speed that could be seen by the naked eye, while the others stood by and stood by.
"Yes! My lord."
Immediately afterwards, Nan Xing Nanyue took the order, and immediately they both started to act.
With the night vision effect of the pupils of the stars, looking at the petite figure of Nanxing Nanyue, who disappeared at the end of the passage ahead, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned his head to look at the back of the passage.
If there is no accident, after a while, the twin sisters should reappear from here.
Sure enough, as Lei Xiao expected, within a few minutes, a pair of familiar figures appeared behind the group of people.
"My lord, we are back!"
Nan Xing, who didn't catch a breath when he got close, first said in unison: "Starting from the front of the team and returning from the back of the team, it's really a novel experience!"
"Yeah, on the way, the two subordinates met mirror images who were staying just like us."
Nanyue, who also had a relaxed face, added: "Moreover, the two subordinates have paid special attention to it. The route forward has always been a straight line."
"In this way, is this straight passage really a loop? It's simply unbelievable."
Beside Lei Xiao, Ariel, who heard this, felt that her head was slowly starting to smoke.
"Okay, now let's go back to the question just now."
Looking at the mirror image of Nanxing and Nanyue passing by him again, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
"First of all, what is certain is that this is a straight passage without any arcs or bends."
Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao began to count the clues and said: "Secondly, there is neither any trace of illusion nor the existence of teleportation array, and finally, this is a perfect cycle. If you keep going forward, It always comes back to where it started.
"That's right, my lord, without the help of teleportation and illusion, how does a straight line become a circle? It's simply inexplicable."
Seeing that Ariel's slightly curly long hair, which was neatly tied behind her head, has become a lot frizzy, she quickly asked again.
And the subordinates beside him cast curious eyes one after another, waiting for Lei Xiao's answer.
"In the world I was in, there was a magical phenomenon called the Mobius ring."
Smiling to the subordinates, Lei Xiao began to explain: "Just twist an ordinary paper tape and connect it end to end, and you can get this kind of Mobius ring."
"The biggest feature of the Mbius ring is that an ant can crawl all over the paper circle without stepping over its edge. Follow a straight line on the hoop and move forward without end."
Speaking of this, Lei Xiao lightly snapped his fingers and said, "I think, this is why we have been able to circulate in this straight ~."
"It turned out to be like this..."
I saw Ye Cang rubbing his clean-shaven chin, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the space at the two ends of this straight passage must have been distorted and connected together, and finally formed the shape your lord mentioned. Mbius ring."
"Is this why we can keep going in a straight line and loop?"
On Ariel's fair and delicate face, a look of sudden understanding finally appeared, she nodded thoughtfully and said, "This subordinate finally understands!"
"Although the problem of circulation has been solved, have you thought of another problem..."
On the other side, Chaoyan's face was full of seriousness, and she said, "Since this is a cycle that cannot get out, doesn't it mean that we are completely trapped here?"
After a pause, Chao Yan glanced at the direction where Hong Ye was standing, and added: "How can we decipher the space distortion that we haven't even noticed?"
