Chapter 878 Six Paths of Chaos
Normally, the way people judge direction is natural light and gravity.
Light allows us to know north, south, east, and west, and gravity allows us to sense up and down.
Through these six basic parameters, the correct orientation can be determined.
The fully enclosed design of the ziggurat blocks the light source from outside, making it impossible to judge the north, south, east, and west.
The only things that can be sensed are up and down.
But what the little brother said shocked everyone.
"How do you know gravity hasn't changed?"
The fat man couldn't help but stare, and shouted in disbelief.
"No way, has gravity been manipulated? How is this possible!"
Shirley Yang also said with a surprised look.
"Although it is hard to believe, the fact is that humans can indeed change gravity, but..."
In fact, humans have built gravity laboratories decades ago to simulate the weightless state of space, train astronauts, and conduct some gravity experiments.
It's just that the Hentian Ancient Tomb was built more than three thousand years ago. It's hard for Shirley Yang to imagine that the ancients at that time had already mastered this technology.
Hu Bayi quickly reminded.
"Don't forget, the Zhang family was the one who built this ancient tomb!"
The Zhang family has technological power that is far ahead of the times. They can even build Gundams. The gravity laboratory is a piece of cake for them.
The fat man was startled.
"Damn, I got hit!"
If their guess is correct, these six floors from the 13th to the 18th floor of the Ziggurat are actually a large soul-returning ladder mechanism!
When they stepped onto the thirteenth floor, they were already trapped in this mechanism!
Wang Kaixuan frowned and said.
"I don't believe what you said is so evil. Just wait!"
After saying that, he turned back and walked towards the stairs.
Hu Bayi asked quickly.
"What are you going to do?"
Wang Kaixuan replied without looking back.
"Go down there, I don't believe this thing is so evil!"
After saying that, he walked straight down the stairs.
Shirley Yang reacted immediately and quickly chased after him.
"I'll go take a look too."
Wang Kaixuan actually wanted to verify their guess.
If this was not the soul-returning ladder, they could go all the way down the seventeenth floor and return to the first floor.
If this was the soul-returning ladder, no matter how they walked, they would never reach the twelfth floor and would only be trapped in the six floors above.
Although this method is simple, it is also the most effective.
After the two went downstairs, everyone was waiting anxiously at the stairs.
Based on the distance traveled by the two of them, it would only take about ten minutes to get back here from the twelfth floor.
But after waiting for more than twenty minutes, there was still no sign of the two of them.
Wuxie immediately took out the walkie-talkie from his backpack. Although there was no mobile phone signal underground, the walkie-talkie was not affected and could maintain contact within one kilometer.
"Hey, Lao Wang, Sister Yang, where are you? Please call back!"
There was only noisy noise on the walkie-talkie, and there was no answer.
Wuxie immediately checked and found that the machine was normal.
Everyone's expressions couldn't help but change. Could it be that something happened to them?
Hu Bayi immediately rushed to the stairs. Wang Kaixuan was his best friend who grew up wearing the same pants, and Shirley Yang was his lover. They were both the most important people in his life.
Upon seeing this, Wuxie immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Brother Hu, wait a minute!"
Hu Bayi pushed him away impatiently and said.
"Just wait here, I'll go find them, don't stop me!"
The younger brother immediately stepped forward and stood in front of him.
Hu Bayi knew that he was no match for his younger brother, so he suppressed his anxiety and said in a deep voice.
"You want to stop me too?"
The younger brother shook his head and said.
"We're going to go together."
Wuxie explained quickly.
"That's what I mean. Something has happened to Brother Wang and Sister Yang, which shows that this agency is more complicated than we thought. We can no longer disperse our operations!"
Hu Bayi's face softened and he nodded apologetically.
"Thanks."
The younger brother waved his hand, motioning for the others to follow him, and was the first to rush down the stairs.
When everyone came downstairs along the stairs, what they saw was a shocking scene.
According to common sense, they came up from the seventeenth floor, and the one downstairs should be the seventeenth floor.
But this is the fifteenth floor!
When the fat man saw it, he felt his scalp numb and goosebumps all over his body.
"Damn, it's so evil! How come you're on the fifteenth floor!"
Although there are no vicious monsters or vicious traps, the invisible soul-returning ladder makes people feel creepy.
Fortunately, they are all people with excellent psychological quality. If they were ordinary people, they would probably collapse on the spot after seeing this scene!
Even the usually calm little brother couldn't help but frown. The situation was more complicated than he expected.
The order of the Six Paths is not just reversed, but completely confused!
Wu Xie's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly understood why Wang Kaixuan and the others were missing.
If the order of these six floors is completely disrupted, Wang Kaixuan and Shirley Yang may be on any floor at this time!
When asked why the walkie-talkie suddenly failed, Wuxie immediately came to a terrible conclusion.
"The upper six floors are a giant trap. When we opened the door to the thirteenth floor, the trap was triggered!"
This mechanism not only disrupts the order of floors, it can also change the gravity field and shield electromagnetic signals!
They were like being thrown into a chaotic and disordered space, where all common sense was invalid!
If they wanted to get out, they had to crack this mechanism.
But they didn't even know the triggering principle of this mechanism, and they were completely confused. How could they crack it?
Hu Bayi became even more anxious when he heard this.
No one knew what dangers this mechanism would bring. Wang Kaixuan and Shirley Yang were still alive and dead. The more he thought about it, the more horrible he felt.
"Brother, Tian Zhen, please help me find them, please!"
He knew that his heart was already in chaos, and it was difficult for him to think normally. He could only rely on the wisdom of his brother and Wu Xie.
Wu Xie comforted him hurriedly.
"Sister Yang is smart and experienced, and Brother Wang is very powerful. They will be fine, don't worry."
Hu Bayi knew that this was a comforting word, so he could only reluctantly nod his head.
At this time, the fat man came to the stairs, looked down, and suddenly laughed.
"Although this mechanism is very cleverly designed, it has a big flaw, and I found it!"
Everyone looked at him with questioning eyes.
The fat man said with a proud face.
"As the saying goes, a wise man will make mistakes even if he makes a thousand plans. This mechanism is complicated and exquisite, but it missed a key detail."
"It's the sound!"
After saying that, he raised his voice and shouted loudly downstairs.
"Lao Wang, Sister Yang, where are you? Answer me if you hear me!"
