Shadow Code - C16
” If we wait for one day, and if the sun still rises the next day in this direction, then even if it’s morning, we won’t be able to figure out whether the morning sun in the mountains is in the east or the west. In any case, we’ll just have to travel in the morning, don’t you think? ” I asked.
” “You’re right, but it’s not that simple. If this plot was designed to trap us, then the other party would sincerely stop us. I think we’ve been targeted, and if we just get through this, we’ll be tricked in the future!”
” Then what should we do? If we don’t break this trap in one day, then we’ll just waste one day? Wouldn’t that be starving? “You don’t even have a bird’s bottom, do you think we can eat grass after eating our rations?”
” How about, a bet! “As long as the sun still rises from today’s direction, we will be on our way. However, we can’t sleep tonight either, we will have to watch the sun go down and rise again before we leave!”
“F * ck, when did we ever get so tired of living and have to keep an eye on the sun?!”
The sun can’t be wrong. We have witnessed the operation of the day, and now our cabin will be in doubt from the road that we came from before. Let’s not talk about the cabin first, it’s just the same, tomorrow morning when dawn arrives, should we try to find our way back from the insole or the opposite direction of the insole?
“According to the sun, we came here facing the evening sun. If we return in the morning, we should return facing the morning sun, right? But according to the insole, we should return with our backs facing the morning sun. How should we go tomorrow?” I sat in front of the cabin with Scabbers, counting the stars, staring, afraid to sleep, unable to sleep, how to get there in the morning, that was a decision to make.
“Say, do you think that someone might have tampered with the insole you threw down and found a way back according to the insole? It’s unreliable!” said the pockmark.
“But, think about it, not only the insole, even the direction of the proof in the cabin is the same as the insole. Besides, even if someone really plotted against us, who would have thought that we would rely on the insole to find the way again? I just happened to think of this too, otherwise, even we wouldn’t notice it!”
” Fuck, the person who designed this trap is simply a genius, if we judge the wrong time according to the sun, and go to Black Water Cliff at night, it would be fatal, if we judge the wrong direction based on the reference, then going to Black Water Cliff would be going in the opposite direction, and we wouldn’t even be able to send ourselves to our death. They are playing around, and we are completely trapped, and we don’t even dare to hit the road! ”
If we can find the piece of cloth you tied up yesterday along this road, it will be in the right direction. If we can’t find it, we will return to Black Water Cliff, return to the cabin, and then search in the opposite direction of the insole. When we find the right path, this is the first step!
” We found a piece of cloth from here. Isn’t that proof that the wooden house and the insole were in the wrong direction? The insole could have been moved to another location, but how could the wooden house be changed? ” I was surprised and annoyed.
” So, San-zi, I’m not lying to you. If I told you the source of this matter, you would not believe it, but it’s strange. The dream I had that day, it didn’t seem like a dream. Also, do you know why I can’t reply to you that you met another me on the night of your return? Because I had a dream about what happened to you the day before. Can you understand what I mean? “I’m confused myself now. Why would the things I dream of really happen? It’s just that the time is wrong!”
“Then I asked you several times, what do you mean by your vague answers? Everything is for my own good. If you know something, you might as well not know it.
“Yes, those parts, I can’t say for now, San-zi, because you were confused enough by what you heard, and if you say that again, I’m afraid you’ll think I’m a madman. There’s another thing, I dreamt that I took that piece of leather paper you lost, and it will be returned to you!” As he spoke, pockmarked man pulled out a leather note from his bosom.
F * ck, the pockmark took out this piece of leather paper given to me by Mountain Demon. Doesn’t that mean I have to prove two things? First of all, the pockmarks I met when I went back to the village were real pockmarks, but at that time, they were actually eating mushrooms with my mother on the brick bed of my house. Second Sis was eating mushrooms on the brick bed of my house, but the pockmarks had indeed taken the note I lost, but in my dream before I came back, there was a difference of one day.
“Then what do you mean by not admitting it? Do you mean that someone used the dream to manipulate your work? You suspect yourself, don’t you? ” I looked at the pockmarks.
” “Yes!” The pockmarks’ messy hair fluttered in the wind, and when the topic of discussion was brought up, his face was filled with an expression of being split apart.
