paradox

After solving the physical problem, I left that room. On the way back, I was in a daze, and accidentally bumped into Su Mohan who was coming over.

"Sorry." I realized my gaffe and immediately apologized.

Everyone's mental state is not very good, and Su Mohan didn't care about me.

When she was about to continue walking forward, I grabbed her arm and asked a question that I thought was strange, "You are so beautiful, how many exes have you had?"

"Nine." Su Mohan replied flatly, with a weak breath.

We were trapped for three consecutive days, and we ate all the canned food we carried with us. The two-day portion has barely survived until now, and we have no energy because of hunger. It makes sense to think about it.

But why not 23?

"Isn't it 23?" I was a little impatient, and someone in my mind told me triumphantly that she had 23 exes, and asked me if I wanted to become the No. 20 four.I put my hand on her shoulder and asked for the correct answer. Su Mohan repeated the number 23 in his mouth like a demon.

I asked worriedly, "Your complexion is not very good."

This abnormality did not last for too long, as if awakened, Su Mohan's eyes regained their brilliance, and he no longer looked at the surrounding things aimlessly like before.

It seems that the hypnosis is over.For her, the number 23 was the terminus of this hypnotic suggestion.

I don't know what these activation words are, and I don't know how many hints Jing Yan has left for us, but I know that if we don't eliminate these hints, we will fall into the safety line created by ourselves and stop moving forward.

"How many days has it been?" Su Mohan, who had just escaped from the hint, hadn't realized the situation yet.

"It's the third day, 46:[-] in the morning." I took out my phone to check the time, and put it away immediately.

Watches are not waterproof, and once they get wet, they will be useless. Now the only machine we can use to judge the time is the mobile phone with little battery left.Although there is no signal, but you can have a sense of reality by looking at the time.There is no day or night in this dark place.

"It's not too late." Su Mohan let out a long breath.

Subtle footsteps came from the corridor, as well as the sound of even breathing, and the faint smell of perfume, it should be a woman.

The dark and silent environment stimulated my senses, and I could even hear the sound of water flowing under my feet and the sound of moths struggling and flapping their wings on the spider web above my head.

"What are you two doing here?" Xiao Mo's figure appeared around the corner, staring at my hand on her shoulder.

"Xiao Mo, I have something to tell you." I left Su Mohan and walked to Xiao Mo's side in a hurry.

When he got closer, he realized that something was wrong with Xiao Mo, his eyes were loose, just like Su Mohan's situation, and his tone was also very strange.

"I still have something to tell Mo Han." Xiao Mo obviously didn't want to listen to me.

"This is very important, Jing Yan has been hypnotized for us!" I took her hand that was about to leave, "Just give me a few minutes, otherwise you can talk to Mo Han first, I will wait for you here."

"Do you think we can find a way out of this weird tomb with the strength of the few of us?" Xiao Mo said disdainfully. "Things like hypnosis are even more absurd. You should know better than me that strong suggestions need to be superimposed repeatedly. Can just a few words from her influence us?"

I didn't want to be easily defeated by Xiaomo, so I could only hold her arm and play tricks, "Listen to me first, just one sentence."

Xiao Mo didn't say anything, so he just took it as her consent.

"23." I said the number slowly, staring into her eyes.

"If what you want to say is such an inexplicable number, then I've heard it all." Xiao Mo broke free from my restraint and wanted to go back, but she didn't intend to look for Mo Han.

what to do?It has no effect at all.

"I..." Having nothing to say, he held Xiao Mo's arm aggrievedly to prevent her from leaving. The Xiao Mo in his memory would definitely not be such a mournful person.

I gave Su Mohan a wink, but he just looked at me with a serious look on his face, and pointed at the position of his neck to Xiaomo.

Xiao Mo looked at me suspiciously, "Come here." She dragged me away without asking for my opinion.

Although these three days were only a small range of movement, they still found a few hidden rooms. The entrance of the room in front of them was connected to a lamppost on the wall.After turning counterclockwise, the stone door slowly opened, but Su Mohan didn't come in, indicating that he was waiting for us outside.Maybe it was a hallucination, I always felt that when the door closed, I saw a trace of loneliness on Su Mohan's face.

"Stand there and don't move." Xiao Mo ordered gently, and I stood against the wall for no apparent reason.

This room is no different from the one I went to before, except that there are fewer vines and it looks more empty.

I saw Xiaomo walking towards me step by step with a lighter I found somewhere.

"What are you going to do?" I started to hesitate, my voice trembling a little.

"If you don't have any salt, just make do with it." She held my hand and touched the back of my neck, where a lump of soft stuff was lying on it, wriggling from time to time.

"A leech?" I probably identified its species.

Xiao Mo nodded in agreement, and then asked me to face the wall so that she could take it down.

"Aren't you afraid of this mollusk?"

Xiao Mo first patted the skin around the leech lightly with his fingers, "I'm not afraid now." Then he used a lighter to roast the leech, and the other side directly surrendered.

Xiao Mo pressed my wound with his left hand, pinched the leech with his right hand, and quickly threw it aside.

"Still bleeding."

Xiao Mo leaned closer to observe my neck. There should be two small openings there, which are the scene of the crime left by the leech just now. The warm breath sprinkled there, it was very itchy.

"Don't leeches secrete a toxin that prevents blood from clotting? Such a phenomenon is very..."

Before I could finish my sentence, my neck was covered by a burst of warmth.

It's not normal at all now...

Facing the wall, I couldn't see Xiaomo's expression, I could only feel her warm little tongue licking my wound over and over again, waiting for me to relax my vigilance and suck a few times gently.

My right hand was pressed against the wall by her, and I couldn't move it. I could only use my left hand to control her walking around my lower abdomen, intending to invade the upper hand.

Every sucking is a fatal temptation, the temperature between us rises rapidly, our breathing becomes short, and the atmosphere becomes very ambiguous, I don't know if it's because of hypnosis or something else.

The bleeding finally stopped, I looked for an opportunity to turn around to observe Xiaomo's strangeness, my eyes were still loose, seeing me turn around, I took the initiative to lean my body over.

I tilted my head reflexively, widening the distance between each other, and my chest heaved and fluctuated, which was also the remnant of the "accident" just now.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down.I like Xiaomo, I have liked it for a long time, but I prefer the feeling of staying by her side than physical contact.

Xiao Mo sighed, "As long as you can't see it, it's fine."

"I'm sorry." I bowed my head and apologized for my cowardice.

"As long as you can't see..." Xiao Mo whispered something, my ears were filled with the noise of the beating heart, mine, and Xiao Mo's.

I desperately thought, what exactly is Xiaomo's hypnotic terminator?

The eyes were covered by a hand, and darkness swept in.It was followed by Xiao Mo's gentle kiss. With eyes closed, all senses became sensitive. I couldn't see Xiao Mo's cheeks, but the fragrance on her body and the warm breath all indicated that she was truly Really stand by my side.

I can't imagine that this warm touch comes from Xiao Mo who is with me day and night.If you want to refuse, you should be able to refuse. Now I can also push her away and do it again, good friend?

However, I didn't act, I just indulged in this softness.

Once it stopped, the beating sound of the heart became louder and louder. I couldn't see Xiaomo, and I was immersed in a strange world, but her breath lingered around me all the time.

While panting, she took the opportunity to pry open my last checkpoint and swept my tongue cavity, even though she only had one hand, she was able to grope up and down deftly.

All the strength in my body seemed to be sucked away, I was half leaning against the wall, but she didn't want to stop here, damn it, why are you so proficient?

"Hmm~" A monosyllabic word popped out of my mouth, which made me lose my last face. Playing chess with her, I lost my helmet and armor before I made a move.

"Tongtong?"

Xiaomo stopped moving, and put down the hand covering my eyes, her eyes were clear.

"???"what happened?Hypnosis over?Did I say something just now?

It seems that I only hummed once during the whole process, could it be...

... Who chose the activation word!

"What's wrong with me?"

"We were all hypnotized by Jing Yan, but now you are awake." I took a deep breath to adjust my heartbeat, and at the same time straightened my crumpled collar, ignoring the discomfort underneath for now.

"..." Xiao Mo was surprised by what he did, and looked at the blood on the corner of his mouth in disbelief.

"I was bitten by a leech, you help me stop the bleeding, that's it." Quickly cut the mess, "But we should go out now, Su Mohan is still waiting outside, Wendi and the others haven't woken up yet."

Xiao Mo nodded, quickly packed himself and went out with me.

Su Mohan was outside smoking a cigarette that was only half left. Seeing the two of us coming out, he immediately threw it on the ground and stomped it out, fanning his hands lightly in front of him to dispel the smell of the smoke.

"Sorry, waited a long time?" Xiaomo and I walked towards her side by side, our hands were unknowingly entangled, Su Mohan obviously saw it, but there was no reaction.

"It's only ten minutes. It's safer to stay here alone than to stay there."

"Let's go back quickly! Then we will discuss the next step," I looked at her.

Su Mohan used silence instead of answering, and walked ahead of us alone.

On the way back, the first people I met were Wendi and Han Lin. Needless to say, Wendi must have taken a fancy to some writing, antique funerary objects or something. Han Lin and her together were beyond my expectation.

"Are you back?" Han Lin patted his clothes and stood up. After three consecutive days of trouble, a dense layer of stubble appeared on his chin, and it was rare for him to be unkempt once. Wen Di was caught as a coolie."

The original six people have gradually divided into different groups. Me, Xiaomo, and Su Mohan are always inexplicably connected. Han Lin is now taking care of the youngest Wendi, and the rest Zhang Xinchi, Wang Shuya, and Deng Zhixin were originally They are friends, and they should stay together as they should.

This time Wen Di read the text on the inside, so Han Lin needed to hold a torch to help her illuminate.

"Sister Tongtong, it feels like we have come to an incredible place," Wendi put down his work and talked to me, "There are many records on the walls, neither murals nor words have been recorded by official history, and this tomb The layout of the tomb is also very different from traditional tombs."

"Wendi, wait for this matter first, I have something to say." I rubbed her head. So far, Wendi is in a good state of mind. Usually, when encountering such dangerous situations, a little girl of her age Already terrified.

"Yeah." Wendi nodded obediently.

It's like a puzzle game, everyone's hypnotic ending words are different, I asked Su Mohan, and she didn't know the specific words.

"We have been hypnotized by Jing Yan since we entered this tomb, and we have completely lost our desire to survive. Since we were locked in, we have been waiting at the door, and the activities are only small-scale activities." I explained, "Although this is also For our sake, but from the very beginning we should understand that there is not enough food, if it is like this, even if we really get it for five days, we will not have the energy to go back."

"Really?" Wen Di was very excited when he heard the word hypnosis, "This is the first time I have been hypnotized! Did she give us any strange instructions? I just heard from my classmates before, but I didn't expect to experience it myself once!"

There was a strange light in Wendi's eyes, including Han Lin, who had recovered their previous look.

"If I don't wake up, will I stay here forever?"

"Um, no, I think you're already awake."

The chances of hitting by mistake are quite high.

"But I don't feel anything at all." Is it regrettable to hear her tone?

"If I want to eat you, I will die!" The sound of an iron can being knocked to the ground came from the corridor, as well as Zhang Xinchi's angry howl. Needless to say, the source was from the Shimen side.

The five of us didn't dare to stay after hearing this, and immediately ran back to where we were, only to see Zhang Xinchi pushing Wang Shuya aside, and several open fruit cans were scattered around them, which made my heart ache for a while, they were all dry food!

"Eat this every day, every day, I can't take it anymore!" After a long period of claustrophobia, his spirit was on the verge of collapse, his eyes were sometimes clear and sometimes lax.

"You're eating, aren't we eating too?" Deng Zhixin grabbed his collar and pushed him to the ground, "You're the only one who was wronged? Shu Ya didn't say anything after being injured so badly." One sentence of yours is not."

Zhang Xinchi stood up staggeringly, "This is my housework, you have no right to manage it."

"If it wasn't for Xiaokui, do you think I would take care of you?" Deng Zhixin wanted to give him a blow, but was stopped by Han Lin halfway.

"Deng Zhixin, let me tell you! Even if I die here today, I won't marry my sister to you, a beast in clothes!"

"Calm down, everyone! It's no good for us to fight among ourselves." I also ran over to dissuade.

"Our food is shared equally, and everyone's different situation is also considered, but here, there is no condition to satisfy your willful demands." Xiao Mo walked closer to persuade, "There is not enough food, you To do so now is to kill yourself.”

"Who says there's not enough food?" Zhang Xinchi's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked terrified here, "As long as the number of people is reduced, each person will get a bit more food, and the three people can spend the rest while the food is still available. It's time, why not start layoffs now!"

"Can you eat the food you bought with other people's lives?" I was irritated by his attitude.

"Is there any problem? Anyway, we forensic doctors are cold-blooded monsters in your eyes?" Zhang Xinchi laughed and punched Deng Zhixin in the abdomen.

Deng Zhixin didn't expect him to do it. He covered his stomach and wiped off the liquid from the corner of his mouth, "Damn you! Don't insult this profession."

Han Lin was caught in the middle, helping no one.

Zhang Xinchi had completely lost his mind and turned into a bloodthirsty beast. It was only when Han Lin and Deng Zhixin agreed to balance the value of force.

"Don't hit him, stop hitting him!" Wang Shuya used her body to protect her boyfriend who was knocked down and still struggling.

"Shu Ya, look clearly, he's gone crazy!" Deng Zhixin hated iron for steel.

"I don't care, he is my boyfriend. We agreed to spend our whole life in the future. We will go out and grow old together." Wang Shuya is like holding an angry child, "From now on, he If he is rich, I will be rich with him; if he is down, I will go begging with him."

"Wake up, he's not your ex-boyfriend now." I yelled at her.

"I don't understand what you're talking about!" Wang Shuya shook her head crazily, "If you want to leave, go as soon as possible! If you leave the two of us, even if we can be buried together, we will be very happy."

"So stupid..." I didn't know what to say to her.

"She has always been awake," Su Mohan said in the same calm tone, "When Jing Yan was around, she was always in a coma."

It turned out that within three days, she was the only sober person in our team, but she was still addicted to this illusory future like us.

Zhang Xinchi was in her arms, the murderous intent in his eyes faded, but we really didn't want to act together with such a dangerous person, for the sake of safety, we tied his hands and feet.Shu Ya's leg is injured, if she is brought along, it may be... a little troublesome.

"Everyone calm down, now we have to think about the next step." I clapped my hands and brought everyone together, "Now our scope of activities is only this tomb passage and the four rooms on both sides of the tomb passage. For convenience, the tombs on the west side are marked with odd numbers, and the tombs on the east side are marked with even numbers. To put it simply, we have been to the four rooms 1,2,3,4, [-], [-], and [-]." I drew a rough layout on paper with a signature pen .

Wen Di hesitated to speak, it seemed that she wanted to correct my statement, but felt that it was inappropriate, so I smiled gratefully at her and continued to analyze. "There is a stone table in the center of rooms 1,3 and [-], and there are scattered earthen jars on it. One of the entrances is sealed by mud, and the other is the organ in front of the revolving door. Have you seen it? A similar tomb?"

Wen Di shook his head, "The ancients believed that the soul still exists after death. In order to remember the ancestors, the burial customs also followed. In order to ensure that the ancestors can rest in peace, future generations will work hard on the site selection and layout of the tomb. But the focus is mostly on the former, after all, no one wants the place where the ancestors sleep to always be screaming and killing."

I checked off rooms 1,3 and [-], and marked them as safe, "Are all the tombs this big?" I tapped on my notebook.

"I don't know. The layout of the tomb will also be divided into grades and grades according to the class status. The emperor's tomb will be larger than the prince's tomb, but because of the limited range of activities, I don't know the layout here," she said with a frown, " Don't you think it's empty here?"

"I also have some questions about this point," Xiaomo said. "The person who can build such a large-scale tomb must be either rich or expensive. Why are there so few funeral objects? There are only a few pottery and some damage in the four rooms." Even if Wen Yu and the others have already looted the silk clothes, the bulky items will be saved until they come back to save time."

"Yeah, little sister Mo is right, according to my guess, this may be just a cover." Wen Di and Xiao Mo's opinions coincided with each other.

"Is that still a possibility?" Han Lin interjected, "Since the size of this tomb is so large, there must be a priority. As an entrance, this place will definitely not be valued too much. It is understandable that there are fewer burial objects. .”

What Han Lin said makes sense, after all we don't know how big this tomb is.

"Is our direction wrong? Haven't we decided to stay yet? Why are we starting to discuss the tomb?" Shu Ya asked weakly.

"We've discussed this issue before, but we didn't tell you guys. If it takes five days, including food and equipment, the bags Wen Yu and the others carry won't be able to hold so many things, but Jing Yan can't even count the time It’s not like someone who forgets the food problem, so we guessed that there should be a place for supplies in this tomb.” I explained, looking at the growth of the plants here, there is still a high probability that food can be found.

Shu Ya nodded, and we continued to discuss the rest.

"All in all, I think it is still necessary to go deep into the tomb, and there is a high probability of finding food." I concluded, "But considering Shuya's injury on your leg, we'd better divide into two groups, one group to explore, One group stays."

"I'll stay and take care of Shu Ya." Deng Zhixin raised his hand, "I'm worried about Shu Ya being with that bastard."

"Anyone else want to stay?" I asked.

No one answered, Wen Di wanted to see the inside of the tomb to get more information, I did it voluntarily, Xiao Mo and Mo Han would probably follow, Brother Han couldn't let us go and decided to come along too.This grouping is obvious.

To show our sincerity, we kept half of the food and took away [-]% of the equipment.

"If you are in any danger, you must come back." Deng Zhixin was still bleeding from the wound he was beaten by his good buddy, and he smiled strangely.

"must!"

Before I left, I accidentally saw the cans scattered on the ground. They were obviously solid, but they were evenly scattered around the cans, as if they were intentional.Zhang Xinchi knocked over four cans, the number of cans was right, but the amount on the ground was far from enough.

I didn't observe carefully before, but now I feel strange when I look at it. The parts scattered on the ground are all spoiled parts, and some green colonies can even be seen.

"This can..." I was about to say something but was interrupted by Mo Han, ""The road ahead is still long, let's hurry up.
