Chapter 785: Going to the Past
The scale of time seems to become blurred as we continue to move forward.
The stone bricks on the ground next to the pyramid are getting newer and newer, with fewer and fewer scratches, and the traces left by these time gradually no longer exist.
Walking through the shadows, Li Luo seemed to pass through the scales. She felt that her feet became a little numb. After all the spatial displacements were converted into time movements, she was actually walking in place.
Li Luo suddenly had an illusion. In fact, she had not moved all this time, but the world was moving...
The endless night and the surrounding shadows were flying backwards with her steps, as if she were stepping on a huge treadmill, with the world centering on her and constantly retreating.
The huge pyramid turned into a light background, rushing towards her like a tide, and flew back in the blink of an eye.
"I seem to be walking faster and faster..."
Li Luo didn't know how long it would take to go back before the murals became unrepaired. She climbed up many pyramids, and the repetitive images made her a little numb.
The same pyramid, the same stone bricks, the same steps, the same temple, the same walls, the same murals, the same scrawled graffiti...
The image of the unknown messenger kept appearing in her mind, sometimes turning into a twisted triangle, sometimes into a messy ball of thread, and sometimes into an ugly circle.
Now, she doesn't need an electronic screen to recall the contents of the mural at will. Every detail and every corner is engraved in her mind.
The cube behind her followed her unchanged, as if it had become a part of her. The passage of time seemed to be getting thinner and narrower, making Li Luo more and more suffocated.
She climbed up the pyramid in front of her with numb thoughts and stood at the entrance of the temple. A voice suddenly awakened her sinking thoughts and brought her back to reality from the passing timeline.
"Don't be stunned, come and help me."
In the darkness in front of him, a voice suddenly came, and then a slate filled with paint was suddenly placed in Li Luo's hand.
"Go ahead and paint it away."
The picture on Li Luo's night vision device was blurry, and she seemed to see a twisted shadow walking towards the wall with the mural.
Holding the slate, Li Luo followed him by surprise.
She subconsciously looked at the mural in front of her and found that it was actually unmodified!
Li Luolian was no longer in the mood to explore the phantom, and immediately stared at the area on the mural that was about to be modified.
She finally saw the messenger clearly:
That was - a fire.
A burning fire.
"Quickly, paint it out." A voice from the side urged.
"Why should you paint it off?" Li Luo asked.
"Because it is watching us... We will be discovered by it if we use its image and record its existence. It has found us. Although we are hiding very hiddenly, as long as the contact is still there, it will definitely catch up. Yes, its slaves have already arrived."
The shadow gently lifted Li Luo's hand holding the stone slab.
Fluffy and very warm.
Feeling the unique touch, Li Luo immediately realized that this was the kind of creature in the mural.
"But why can I understand their language?"
Those sounds seemed to be transmitted directly into her body, telling her the specific meaning directly.
"Quickly Tu, hurry up."
The creature next to him was still urging, and even handed over a stone pen.
Facing this unknown creature, Li Luo had no choice but to dip his hands in paint and start painting randomly according to the modified appearance of the mural in his memory.
A twisted triangle.
A messy ball of thread.
An ugly circle.
…
"You draw so ugly."
The creature said softly beside Li Luo.
"But as long as it can be covered, thank you."
Looking at the familiar scrawled painting in front of him, Li Luo was stunned and turned to look into the darkness.
"Why don't you draw it yourself?"
"I can't touch it." A weak voice came from the darkness.
"Why can't you touch it?" Li Luo asked.
"because……"
Before he finished speaking, the blurry shadow in Li Luo's night vision device suddenly burst, like an exploding bubble, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Li Luo looked around suspiciously, but didn't see the shadow again.
In the temple, it was quiet and dark...
Li Luo looked at his hands, and the slates and slate pens filled with paint were gone, as if they had disappeared along with the shadow.
However, when I turned around and looked at the mural next to me, I saw that the graffiti I had just added was still there, and the paint was still very wet...
"What's going on?"
Li Luo was a little confused about the current situation. She walked back to the entrance of the temple in a daze, only to find that the cube was slowly floating from below.
An electronic screen was sent to the top of the cube, and Li Luo quickly took it to take a look:
"Don't go too fast."
Li Luo was stunned again.
"Am I walking too fast?"
In the past, no matter how fast she walked, Cube could keep up with her, but now she would actually say that she was walking too fast?
She recalled her recent experience on the time pathway, and realized belatedly that she might have been caught in some kind of "acceleration."
Mo Ling in the cube was also confused. Just now he was following Li Luo well, but suddenly Li Luo's movement speed became faster.
It was obvious that his stride and frequency had not changed, but he was walking faster and faster, as if he was being sent forward by a conveyor belt, until he could not catch up with him even with all his strength.
Then, he saw Li Luo rushing up a pyramid at a very fast speed, and he immediately followed.
Fortunately, he finally caught up.
Mo Ling quickly wrote a few words on the electronic screen and sent it out to remind Li Luo.
However, Li Luo did not seem to be affected at all, but his expression was a little solemn.
"Just now... a lot of things happened."
Li Luo suddenly said to the square.
A lot of things? Mo Ling was a little confused. It didn't take long for him to get away from Li Luo and catch up with Li Luo. How could so many things happen?
Li Luo pondered for a moment and told Mo Ling everything he had just experienced in the temple...
After listening to Li Luo's story, Mo Ling quickly looked into the interior of the temple and searched inside.
However, it was empty inside. Except for the wet paint on the murals, there was nothing strange.
There was no creature as Li Luo said, nor was there any slate or slate pencil.
Mo Ling even suspected that Li Luo had just experienced an illusion.
He also wrote his doubts on the electronic screen:
"Illusion?"
Li Luo looked at the electronic screen and shook his head.
"It's not an illusion, I can feel... it touched me, so it's definitely not an illusion."
"But, since it can touch me, why does it say it can't touch the mural?"
