Night Watchman - C281

“What the heck is going on?” We were clearly following the tunnel before, and we did not see any forks in the road at all! ”

“That’s right!” Although the tunnel is a bit dark, it’s only so wide. If there was a fork in the road, we wouldn’t be able to see it. ”

“Could it be that we missed the exit because the light inside was too dim?”

After saying that, the three of us turned around and walked back into the tunnel.

As I walked forward, I continuously pondered in my mind. However, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was amiss!

Logically speaking, if neither of us saw the fork in the road, then this tunnel should be a straight path. If we follow this straight path, we shouldn’t be able to turn back! But in reality, we have returned to the starting point!

“Brother Zhou, tell me, could what happened to us be the same situation as when we were trapped by Dong Wan’er?”

“Are you saying that Dong Hai and the others set up a mirror when they passed by?”

Hua Cai’s words made sense, but when he thought about it carefully, it wasn’t.

The reflection was a defensive technique within the plow technique. If Dong Hai and the others had set up this mirror while they were passing through, it would have been destroyed by that lunatic. Otherwise, how would he have passed through? Or did he stop himself after he thought he had trapped us?

If that was the case, this place might actually be a trap that wanted to trap us.

But the problem was, we had to go through countless difficulties to get here. How did he know about the situation here, and how did he use those traps to trap us?

As he had been able to jam the door mechanism with a wedge, and as he was able to use the mechanism to trap us, it seemed that he was indeed very familiar with the place. But Big Board said that the lunatic who brought us in was not the same person who attacked us afterwards!

In other words, the madmen who trapped us before should be continuing forward. Furthermore, the lunatic that appeared afterwards, regardless of whether his words were true or false, he should still be following behind that lunatic from before.

In other words, there shouldn’t be a mirror in front of us!

Thinking of this, I directly shook my head towards Hua Zi and told him my guess before continuing on along the tunnel to look for the fork in the road.

As things stood now, even if it wasn’t an idiot who attacked us later, there were certain problems with him, and he seemed to have some purpose in bringing us here. However, this could only be known after finding him. What we can do now is to find the exit as soon as possible and continue to track down the two groups in front of us.

It was still more than ten minutes before a stone door appeared in front of us. Behind the stone door was still the same cave that was previously attacked by those gargoyles.

This time, we paid special attention to the two sides of the tunnel. Even though the tunnel was extremely dark, we were able to find it inch by inch.

Seeing this, I immediately had Hua Zi and Dazhi extinguish their flashlights and wait for me on the spot. At the same time, I used my flashlight to return to the cave and started searching.

When I saw the two halves of the lizard’s tongue that had been broken, and the bullet hole in the wall that had been left by Hua Zhai, my brain was in complete chaos.

Now I can’t think of anything else besides the mirror. But if it really was the mirror, how did Madman and the others get through it? If there were no surprises, we should have had two “dementors” pass before us, so why do we still encounter the mirror? Or could it be that an idiot could use this kind of strange technique?

If Epilogue really knows this kind of strange technique, then it would be able to explain why we keep going back the way we came!

Thinking of this, I immediately recalled the scene where Miao De broke through the mirror. If there was no surprise, the dragon fire that I had grasped should be able to break this trick.

After making up my mind, I directly returned to the tunnel. Following our previous plan of being trapped by Dong Wan’er, the three of us headed towards the depths of the tunnel.

However, after another ten minutes of careful exploration, a stone door appeared in front of us. And behind that stone door was still the same cave we stayed in before!

When I pushed open the stone door and saw what was in front of me, I was completely at a loss. First, there is no fork in the road, and second, there is no strange looking mirror, but we still walk back to the starting point! What was going on? What kind of traps were hidden in this tunnel?

The more I thought about it, the more furious I became. I had the urge to rush out and roar!

However, at this moment, Dazhi suddenly frowned and leaned towards me, “Brother Zhou, this place seems a little strange!”

As he said that, he lifted his head up to sniff the air, and then continued, “Before, when you pushed open the stone door to leave, I remember smelling a faint smell of gunpowder. It should have been left behind by Hua’zi’s previous shots, but this time, I did not smell that faint smell.”

After hearing what Big Board said, a thought immediately flashed through my mind. Without saying anything further, I turned around and ran towards the entrance on the other side of the stage. This time, I didn’t see the bullet hole that Hua Zi had left behind; even the two halves of the stone lizard’s tongue that fell to the ground had disappeared!

So that’s how it was! The schemes of the ancient people were really cunning. They actually used such a deceitful method to damage the power of the tomb robbers!

When an unknown person saw an identical spot in front of him, his first reaction was to find something in the tunnel, causing him to accidentally turn back and go back into the tunnel to investigate the reason. No one would ever think that there would be two identical places!

And the person who was able to make it all the way here was definitely someone with a strong willpower. He definitely wouldn’t just let it go like this. He would just happen to fall into the trap of the designer. Both ends of the tunnel had eerie and unpredictable lizards, which meant that the tomb robber had entered a cycle of death and was eventually buried in the hands of the gargoyles.

Those with weak willpower and tenacity would never be able to reach this point. In other words, those who didn’t know the situation had reached the end of their lives!

After coming to this realization, I immediately shouted out loud in joy. When Dazhou and the rest heard my cries and came out from the tunnel, I was surprised to discover that the lizard statue behind them had come back to life!
