Chapter 19 The Prisoner's Dilemma

The spurting blood splashed onto the top of my forehead, causing my agitated mood to freeze instantly.

I fell to the ground and looked at Officer Liu's left leg, which was still exposed outside the closed mountain. Although the man was reduced to a pulp due to the huge force, the muscles and bones were connected, and the leg instantly became swollen and kept spinning.

The trembling was like chaff, stirring up the meat and organs on the edge of the small stone cracks. After a while, it stopped moving. Blood mixed with sweat flowed from my forehead. If I had been faster for one second, I'm afraid

At this moment, it also became like this.

Originally, there were only netherworlds in the world, but no hells. Later, Buddhism came to the East and introduced the concept of eighteen levels of hell to the East. Various tortures frightened ordinary people to devote themselves to chanting Buddha. Each of these eighteen levels of hell has its own name, and the tenth

The seventh level is called the Stone Mill Hell. According to legend, those who ruined the grain, thieves, corrupt officials, and oppressed the people will be sent to the Stone Mill Hell after death, where they will be ground into meat paste, and the cycle repeats.

This is the teaching method of Buddhism, and there should be no partial belief. However, the crime suffered by Officer Liu this time is no less painful than the pain of the stone grinding hell.

Ma Haibo was vomiting next to me. He was so close that he almost followed me out. Looking back now, I felt cold sweat dripping from my forehead. At that time, I didn’t even care to look at other people and rolled on the ground.

I stepped back a few meters, then put my hands on the ground, recalling the memories about Officer Liu: This is a person who has a deep memory, because fat people like him are rare, but my head is full of confusion.

It’s confusing, I just can’t remember it, I just remember that on a certain day in a certain year, when the golden silkworm Gu showed its power outside Luo Ermei’s house, a fat woman said in surprise: “It’s so cute…”

Things are different and people are different.

Ma Haibo murmured to himself next to me, saying that Lao Liu died in such a way that no body was left behind. How can I explain it to his family? His mother is still lying in the hospital bed. If she knew, what would happen?

Have a funeral?

Tears rolled down his face, half because of Officer Liu and half because of his own fear. Jia Wei, who was next to him, calmly put away his camera and said coldly, don't think too far, you should think about whether you can make it.

Let's take this hall. Her sarcastic words immediately aroused everyone's anger. At this critical moment, a little soldier was immediately unhappy. He was holding the wall and vomiting. He raised his eyebrows and retorted: "This leader, are you menopausal?"

Sorry, it’s a bit unpleasant to speak. Isn’t it? It’s a disease that needs to be treated..."

This came from Zamao Xiaodao, so I didn't think anything of it. But as soon as the soldier's words came out of his mouth, I felt strange.

How can ordinary soldiers dare to offend their superiors?

Jia Wei immediately raised his head and stared at him with cold and stern eyes. The little soldier stared back unceremoniously. The anteater crawled over and stuck out its tongue in a threatening manner, while the muzzle of the gun in the soldier's hand was as if it were there.

Wu Di was lifted up. In this desperate situation, everyone's thoughts began to change. Wu Gang ran over at this time and sternly scolded the soldier, and Yang Cao also came over to pull Jia Wei and give him good words, and then stopped.

.After such a fuss, the weird atmosphere faded a bit, and it was only at this time that we discovered that several people were missing in the room.

Hu Wenfei, several soldiers, and the guide Lao Jin were all missing.

They escaped before the seams of stone closed together.

This also includes Mr. Tiger Cat. These people may be our hope of getting out of trouble.

Wu Gang called us together and after talking about stabilizing the situation, we began to explore the hall, hoping to find the secrets and then get out. However, after searching around, we found that the entire space was an upside-down bowl.

The surrounding seams were tight and there were no mechanisms. But ten minutes later, when I came to the stone seam again, I found that Officer Liu’s leg had fallen to the ground. There was just a gap in the mountain.

Now it is like the surrounding walls, and it is impossible to tell that there was a gap that could allow a person to walk here just now.

I turned around and found Zamao Xiaodao's face turning pale.

We all discovered a problem, that is, this cave seems to be alive, and the passages inside are changed at will. No wonder we got lost when we came here before, no wonder I got lost this time too, not because of my faulty memory, not the hallucination of a short mule, but

The mountain is constantly changing: What is this? Is it a formation?

Zamao Xiaodao shook his head and said no, the formation was just arithmetic combined with changes in terrain, weather, and momentum, how could it be so magical.

The closed rock wall was moist and shiny. I reached out and touched it. There was liquid, which was sticky and had a fishy smell. Zamao Xiaodao also came over and smelled it. His face was a little weird and he didn't say anything.

, but his brows were tightly knitted.

After another ten minutes, everyone gathered together again. In order to save air and energy, all bonfires and burning objects in the venue had been extinguished, and only one flashlight was kept. In this lonely light, everyone gathered together

In the direction of the northeast corner, he was either squatting or standing with a serious look on his face. Yang Cao coughed, cleared his throat, then pointed at the stone eye not far away that was splashed with blood and sighed, saying that he never expected that thing.

It is actually the hub of this hall. Once it is broken, it will automatically shrink its defenses and block all the passages.

Jia Wei's face didn't look good either. He frowned and asked if he could poke the eye again to open it again.

The very individual little soldier stared at her like an idiot and smiled: "Chief Jia, if you don't look carefully, his eyes have already been closed, okay? Don't say it's poking, with that thickness

, I can’t even touch the asshole.” Indeed, just now I looked at the so-called “God List” for the first time, and without us paying attention, there were many thick rocks on it, turning the gleaming and divine ones.

The pupils were covered.

Yang Cao sighed and said it was best not to mess with that thing again, otherwise he might even lose his life.

Seeing that the little soldier was a little resentful, Wu Gang patted him on the shoulder and said, Xiao Zhou, don't do this nonsense, we will definitely find a way out, and the comrades outside will come to save us. Xiao Zhou raised his head and wanted to argue, but he hoped that in the end

Still suppressing his despair, he nodded and said nothing.

The so-called authority is to intimidate people and then give them hope.

When everyone's emotions calmed down a bit, Yang Cao slowly spoke again: "When we arrived here yesterday afternoon, Mr. Hong and I were overwhelmed by the mountains here. We always felt that we had passed the steep Houting Cliff.

After the barrier, the mountain is gentle. From east to west, it looks like a woman lying on her side. Her facial features are distinct and her breasts are like breasts. The cave behind the thousand-year-old banyan tree, which can only accommodate one person, is like the reincarnation of grains in the human body.

It's an ordinary place. At that time, I told Boss Hong that this place is a natural formation of gathering ghosts and is extremely dangerous. When we saw it again, it turned out to be true."

Zamao Xiaodao had a tepid temperament. He sat cross-legged on the ground, took out his unfinished double-edged badger bone knife, and started working with the carving knife. At this moment, he

He has made a lot of progress compared to the past. He can also make talismans without any distractions in front of everyone. Not only that, he also said: "If this is the case, then you still want to come in?"

Yang Cao smiled bitterly and said that it is one thing for us to come in and help you remove the marks from the Conferred Gods List, and the other thing is that in the past two years, many unexplainable things have happened frequently around the world - many of them, and they have threatened the survival of mankind.

.And these are all related to visitors from the abyss, so we came here mainly to investigate the bizarre appearance of the dwarf mule species; it is undeniable that we also have the idea of ​​​​taking this stone eye as our own...

Jia Wei had just had a quarrel with the soldier Xiao Zhou and was so angry that he did not stop Yang Cao from speaking frankly.

"The reason why I tell you this is actually to take a precaution. We are now grasshoppers on the same rope. We must work together and don't waste our energy on other things. Now our goals are the same.

, just to escape. Lao Ma and the others are outside and will find a way to rescue us. The most important thing for us now is to calm down and not fight internally or waste energy. I have a feeling that the real danger is still secretly there.

It’s hidden everywhere…”

Yang Cao is in his thirties and is a capable young man. Among the five people in the Religious Bureau, apart from Hong Anguo, he has the most leadership temperament. With his well-behaved and peaceful words, everyone's panic was finally relieved.

, took out the supplies in his backpack and concentrated them, and let Yang Cao, Wu Gang and Ma Haibo jointly guard them, waiting for help quietly.

Because we were not prepared for a long-term battle, we didn't carry much supplies with us. Most of them were combat supplies. However, I had some compressed biscuits, energy bars, chocolates and sports drinks, which accounted for the bulk.

We each found a place to rest. Wu Gang was debugging the radio, but perhaps because the mountain was closed, he couldn't contact the outside.

I also tried to let Duoduo or Golden Silkworm Gu seep out, but it didn't work either.

This is a situation with no solution. All of us are treated as prisoners, trapped in such a hot cave, with no enemies, no energy, no wind... all we have is everyone's heavy breathing. Through that thin bundle of

Under the light, I observed everyone staying here, and there was more or less a trace of despair on their faces.

At this moment, I suddenly thought about the pale numbers of those who died in mining accidents in newspapers every year. Behind those numbers, are they all people with flesh and blood and thoughts like us? Are they also struggling on the edge of despair, and finally helplessly

What about death?

Are they, like me, missing their loved ones and the one who is the softest in their hearts?

The hairy path is carved with bone knife charms one by one. Duoduo is nestled next to me, and fat insects are burrowing in the night sand. None of us speaks, but the air that can be breathed into the chest, as time goes by slowly

It flows away and becomes less and less.

Will we die like this?
