Under the green candlelight, the originally straight corridor became strangely curved, and in the darkness, it seemed to be larger than when the flashlight was shining on it before!
When Chen Yibai turned on the flashlight again, the corridor instantly became ‘straight’ again!
Chen Yibai suddenly reacted: “Ghost covering my eyes!”
In folklore, ‘ghost covering my eyes’ means that the ghost deliberately blocks people’s sight, making them unable to see the obvious danger, and thus stepping forward into deadly danger step by step.
In fact, ‘ghost covering my eyes’ is similar to ‘ghost wall’.
‘Ghost wall’ has a scientific explanation, which is the phenomenon of motion illusion.
And ‘ghost covering my eyes’ is a visual difference phenomenon. The principle is that in a confined space, due to the special spatial structure, when the irradiated light is too bright, the neural vision will be affected and deviated.
Chen Yibai had encountered a similar situation before. When he was looking for the main tomb chamber in the corridor of the ancient tomb, it seemed that the road ahead was smooth, but he suddenly fell into the trap set in the corridor without any warning.
Chen Yibai reacted completely now. He had just kept his brain "awake" to guard against "ghost wall".
But he completely ignored the "ghost covering his eyes".
If he hadn't turned the incense used as a mark into a candle and then turned off the flashlight, he would probably have been "ghost covering his eyes" all the time, and he would have been unable to get out of these two corridors.
Unexpectedly, the ancient people of Xia and Shang dynasties four thousand years ago had already mastered the principle of using light to create visual difference.
In fact, this was also a trick played by the ancients when they built the tomb.
In the underground world, people must think that the brighter the light, the safer they feel.
But in this specially constructed corridor, the brighter the light, the more the visual nerves will be affected, and the greater the deviation of the scene seen.
"Fuck!"
If I had realized this earlier, I wouldn't have had to deal with this much trouble.
Chen Yibai put the flashlight into the pocket on the side of his backpack, took out a corpse-suppressing nail and held it in his hand for self-defense, and carefully groped forward in the darkness of the corridor.
Although it was called dark, the niches were actually very close to each other, and the distance between each burning candle was not far. In addition, the corridor was only two meters high, so to be precise, the entire corridor was shrouded and filled with gloomy green light.
Although the surrounding vision was very blurry under the gloomy green light, fortunately, these were the most real.
Also because the surrounding vision was particularly blurry, Chen Yibai widened his eyes, remained calm, and raised his spirits to find the "intersection" hidden in the middle of the two interconnected corridors.
And this time, while Chen Yibai was walking forward, he silently counted the steps in his mind to measure the distance.
One step is about one meter!
When Chen Yibai walked forward for about 50 meters, a dark crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the corridor shrouded in dark green. It was about 50 to 60 centimeters wide, as if the space of the corridor was torn open from the middle!
"Found it!"
Chen Yibai looked at the dark crack in front of him, and his heart was overjoyed. He immediately strode over, took out the flashlight again, and turned it on.
The LED white light of the flashlight pushed away the darkness again.
The scene in front of Chen Yibai also changed accordingly. He was facing the mountain wall of the corridor at an angle. If he walked one more step forward, he would hit it head-on.
However, when Chen Yibai stretched out his hand tentatively, his hand was inserted diagonally into the mountain wall in front of him.
No!
To be precise, there should be an oblique crack at this position of the corridor wall! But because the light was too bright, and the visual difference caused by the light was cleverly used during the excavation, it affected the visual nerves.
As long as the light is bright enough, the visual nerve deceives the brain. Even if you open your eyes wide, you can't see that there is a slit on the mountain wall!
Only when the light is turned off and the weak light cannot shine into this slit, will the dark hole that Chen Yibai saw just now appear, as if it was torn out of thin air!
There is no doubt that Yan Wanlei and his men must have been in this place by mistake without knowing what happened.
Time is running out, and they must be found as soon as possible.
One minute later, they may be in danger for one more minute.
Chen Yibai took a deep breath and rushed in directly. It seemed that he hit the wall of the corridor, but in fact he entered another corridor.
Turning on the flashlight again, the white beam of light instantly pushed away the darkness.
This is also a man-made cave corridor, but it is slightly wider than the previous one. The straight corridor is only thirty or forty meters long with the naked eye, and at the end is a right-angle turn leading to both sides.
It seems that this is a maze specially designed to trap tomb robbers..
Chen Yibai took out the Bagua compass again and looked at it. The magnetic needle of Tianchi was still stuck.
It seems that the compass is really useless in this tomb of King Kang!
The Bagua compass has lost its function, especially in this maze-like underground corridor. It is impossible to determine the direction, just like a headless fly, which gives Chen Yibai a headache.
Chen Yibai rubbed his throat and prepared to shout to see how the sound propagation effect here is, whether Yan Wanlei and others can hear it.
"Da Mao... Da Mao..."
As a result, before Chen Yibai shouted, a strange shout suddenly came from the corridor in front.
Who is Da Mao?
Whose voice is this?
Chen Yibai was suddenly shocked and quickly turned off the flashlight in his hand. The voice coming from the corridor in front was not from the archaeological expert or the special service team.
"Why is there someone else in this ancient tomb!"
At this time, Chen Yibai also recalled the 'perfume' sprayed on himself by a fat man named Sun Dachang in the archaeological expert group when he just entered the ancient tomb.
Chen Yibai was sure at the time that it was 'corpse fragrance', a fragrance extracted from an extremely special corpse, but Chen Yibai did not point it out.
Now it seems that there is a traitor in the archaeological team, who secretly brought a tail in!
"Da Mao! Da Mao! Damn it, if you are alive, please respond quickly..."
Another curse came from the front of the corridor.
Listening to the cursing tone, it is obvious that he is trapped here and is a little mentally unable to bear it...
Chen Yibai hurriedly trotted forward to the corner of the corridor, and at the same time took out the corpse nail as a self-defense weapon and held it in his palm.
With the shouting, a beam of light came from the corner of the corridor, accompanied by a series of footsteps and conversations between several people.
"Brother Ji, the lights in front are off again!"
"Brother Ji, could it be the archaeological team?"
The two men's voices trembled slightly.
"Damn it, it's absolutely impossible, the archaeological team is behind us, and the direction is the opposite!"
Brother Ji gritted his teeth, and his angry curse was full of certainty.
