It was impossible for me to recall the specific faces of these travelers afterwards, but I wrote down what they said at the time. When these people heard me asking where this place was, they gave a look.
The eyes of a time traveler. One of the people asked me curiously. He said that since I can walk to this place, do I know where this is?
I shook my head regretfully, indicating that I really didn’t know. The person who asked the question probably thought I was a little strange, so he pointed in one direction and said, that’s the Shawo River over there, and then pointed in the direction I was walking along and said
Over there is Dapan Bay.
“Dapanwan!”
I was immediately shocked. I had never been here, but I knew that Dapan Bay was a mysterious and somewhat evil place. The scientific expedition team, Xue Longtou and even Cao Shi all had their accidents in Dapan Bay.
The most important thing is, how far is it from Dapanwan to the Ali Zhangxiong ruins? I don’t know the specific distance, but it must be calculated in units of thousands of kilometers. In the few seconds or minutes when my consciousness disappeared,
Within a few hours, I came from Ali to Dapanwan?
I felt that I had touched something, but at the same time I was confused a lot. Maybe my shock and confusion were revealed on my face, and the eyes of several travelers were even weirder. They looked at each other and whispered. After that,
A few people walked a little further away, and then sat down to cook something on the stove. I just stayed there and kept thinking. From my thinking point of view, this matter seemed to be out of imagination, but it seemed to be expected.
For a moment, I was completely at a loss. I didn’t know whether to continue walking or what to do. I stood for a long time. Several travelers finished eating and did not stop any more. They walked towards the direction of Shawo River. I still
Standing in place, after such a long period of consideration, I planned to return to the place where I came here a few days ago. Judging from the last experience between Cao Shi and I, if I start the fragment again, I can return to the original starting point.
, which is the site of Ali Zhangzhong.
After a short period of precipitation, I have become somewhat indifferent. At this moment, the worst result that happens to me is that I cannot return to the starting point, but I can go back to Ali through the journey by myself. It is just a waste of time.
What dangers would there be?
However, this idea was quickly shattered, completely shattered. Where several travelers had just stopped, they left some leftover food packaging bags and empty water bottles, including half a newspaper. This
Half of the newspaper was blown to my feet by the wind. Perhaps it was a purely unconscious action. I bent down and picked up the newspaper attached to my leg. It was this action that made me see an even more shocking scene.
The newspaper was very ordinary. What I saw was the date on the newspaper. I didn’t know whether the half of the newspaper was an old newspaper they brought or a new newspaper I just bought. I was shocked and seemed to be possessed.
I grabbed the newspaper and ran in the direction where the few travelers had left. I ran very fast just to confirm a question.
Finally, I caught up with them and breathlessly asked them about the half of the newspaper. They seemed to think that I was mentally ill, but after repeated questioning, they still answered my question.
They said that they bought the newspaper when they were riding in the car before coming here, about a week ago.
I was completely confused, a week?
My consciousness was clear, and I remembered exactly the time when the fragments came from the Zhangzhong site. There was a full year difference between this time and the date on the newspaper. In other words, I saw a picture from a year ago.
newspaper.
This seemingly simple question suddenly became like a traffic jam, causing my brain to be almost paralyzed. If what a few travelers said is true, then I am faced with two possibilities. First, I learned from Zhang Xiong
The ruins activated the fragment and went back to a year ago. The second fragment brought me here from the Zhangzhong ruins, and it took a year in between.
Both of these results are nonsense. If I tell anyone, they will think that I am crazy. However, I must continue to think about it. I have no other basis. I can only use my experience with Cao Shi as a reference. Obviously,
The second result was directly overturned.
I immediately reached out and grasped the fragments placed close to me, feeling like I couldn't breathe. In order to completely understand the matter, I gave up the idea of returning to where I was, and continued walking south until four days later.
After that, I found a village. I asked several villagers one after another and found that the travelers did not lie and the date in the newspaper was correct.
It can be said that after I fully confirmed this issue, my heart suddenly sank to the soles of my feet. I originally thought that my experience with Cao Shi and the disappearance of Xiaohu and the others were only related to regional issues, but everything in front of me proved that,
This is not only a geographical span, but also a time issue.
To put it simply, the team of Mustache and Thunder Hero may have appeared in another place and another time period. I couldn't help but look up at the sky. Isn't this a fucking joke? And it's a cosmic joke.
Following the instructions from the villagers, I arrived at the nearest town, rented a car and driver, and rushed back quickly. Now I had to confirm one more question, a very critical question, which was whether I could get from Dapanwan to
Returning to the Zhangzhung Ruins, a year later. Although I had the basis for my previous experience, it was mixed with the problem of time confusion, which made me start to tremble in my liver.
I tried my best to get to Dapanwan in the shortest time. After sending away the hired car, the surroundings fell into desolation again. This time when I started the fragment, I was far more nervous than the first time, but this was me
I have to take a step, otherwise, I will never find Xiaohu and the others, and I will always be out of touch with the world that belongs to me.
Fragments, blood, faint blood light, consciousness splitting, blurring, disappearing... The moment before I lost consciousness, Dapan Bay was distorted in my sight like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
This time, when I woke up, I felt like I was in a tent with a sleeping bag outside my body. Monkey Zhang and monks were guarding me on the left and right.
But at this moment, I didn’t feel anything surprising. It was as if I saw these two acquaintances when I opened my eyes after a good sleep. And I was very surprised, because the expressions of Zhang Houhou and Monk seemed to have just shaken me.
It's like being brought back from the brink of death.
I raised my hand to look at my watch out of habit, and the hands had stopped moving.
Because there are relevant written and video records, the experience during this period is relatively complete. I have no impression in my mind, but I know what I was doing along the way.
When I walked out of the tent, I immediately saw the six huge stones in the center of the ancient ruins of Zhangzhong in the distance. Su Ri came from nearby. Still carrying his gun, he came to me and patted me hard.
Tap me on the shoulder.
"I believe you will definitely come back!"
The four of us got back into the tent and studied the information I brought back together. I asked Zhang Houhou how long I had been missing, and he blurted out: "Thirteen days."
"Thirteen days..." I flipped through the book, which recorded the specific time since the disappearance. Yes, it was thirteen days.
The coincidence of these two times gave me a sudden enlightenment and I figured out some questions. Of course, these questions are only preliminary inferences. If you want to thoroughly confirm it, you need to have subsequent substantive evidence.
Because there is a span of time when it disappears, the problem is a bit complicated. But to sum it up, it can be summarized briefly. There is a back and forth road between the Xiangshung ruins and Dapan Bay, and the law of the activation of fragments is also one-to-one.
Back. From Shang Hung to Da Pan Bay, and then from Da Pan Bay back to Shang Hung. There is no time error. I stayed in Da Pan Bay for thirteen days, and thirteen days have passed here in Shang Hung.
However, there are no clues about Mustache's team in Dapan Bay, which means that they are not in Dapan Bay, or in other words, they are not in Dapan Bay at the same time. This is a damn fact.
However, this experience has made me a lot more courageous. I believe that no matter how many twists and turns I go through during this journey, I can return to Shang Shung, and it will be the same time period, so I plan to continue to look for him.
Go down.
The large stone tools under the six stones in the center of the ruins have been completely cleared out in the past ten days, but they are too heavy to be brought to the ground. Su Ri took me to take a look, and my previous judgment was correct.
This is very much like a tripod without legs. On the outside of the tripod, there are some incomprehensible symbols carved on it, which may be the lost Xiangzhong characters. The symbols are only a small part, and the incomprehensible patterns account for the majority, but the same
can't read.
One of the pictures looks very much like a plan view of a sundial. I suspect it is a measurement diagram, used to measure some kind of quantity.
Su Ri and the others searched very carefully. The fragment in my hand was the only one. The eye mark holding the holy object was empty, and the holy object was missing. Su Ri did not urge me to hand over the fragment to him. He told me
, he can wait, just wait here. If the supplies are not enough after a long time, he will send a car back to pull it.
My experience became richer. The next day, I ignored the dissuasion of the monk and Zhang Houhou and insisted on activating the fragment. But this time when I woke up, I found that things were more complicated than I thought. Because I
The location we are in is not in Dapanwan. It is still a desert, but it is definitely not Dapanwan.
Not only was the time after the disappearance confusing, but the regions were also different. I searched carefully to see if there were any marks left by the team, but found nothing.
Next, it took me about five days to find a place with human traces. I thought the time here should be a year ago, but others clearly told me that it was three years ago.
