Xu Dingjia looked complicated and said slowly: "The more troublesome thing is here. I can't tell whether it is an illusion or reality. I can only say that what we see and feel now is what this orphanage wants us to do. have witnessed."
"What do you want us to feel?" Li Feng laughed dumbly, "Does this orphanage still have its own consciousness?"
Xu Dingjia sighed, with a trembling voice: "If it's just consciousness, then it's okay. Just be afraid..." He hesitated, and finally said: "In short, it must be very dangerous here, and there are all kinds of scary things. It's possible and we have to be extremely careful."
"If we had known this, we should have been fully prepared before coming." Jiang Cheng glanced at the road subconsciously and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Li Feng reacted quickly and asked Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng pointed with trembling hands at the gate they had just entered.
Li Feng looked towards the door and was stunned. There was no iron gate in front of him, but a high wall made of black bricks.
"What's going on? Did we just come in through the wall? Or is it really an illusion?" Li Feng was so surprised that he was a little incoherent.
Xu Dingjia stepped forward and beat the wall. Everyone heard a clear muffled sound, and the wall in front of them was real. But Xu Dingjia's previous theory clearly made them start to doubt that the muffled sound they heard was probably just part of the hallucination.
"It's not a wall or an illusion. This is a real wall." Xu Dingjia shook his head and said, "If it's just an illusion, if I remember this direction and rely on inertia to rush over, I should be able to pass through the wall. In fact, I It can’t be done.”
"What on earth is going on?" Jiang Cheng asked, "Could it be that this orphanage wants to trap us here?"
"It's hard to say now." Xu Dingjia held the "Measuring Sky Ruler" tightly in his hand and said, "In short, we have no way back." "
Jiang Cheng recalled the purpose of coming back and Chu Xueying who was still waiting at home, and finally calmed down the uneasiness in his heart. He looked not far away, where a loft stood abruptly in the middle of the orphanage. That was the place in Chu Yan's painting.
Jiang Cheng murmured: "Is that where all the truth is hidden?"
His gaze fell on the attic window, but he did not see the faint blue light in the painting. He didn't know whether he was looking forward to the faint blue light or fearing the appearance of the strange light, but he couldn't look away from the window. In fact, he began to think about it in his mind, and gradually recalled the scene when he arrived in Yilin City and was attacked by a mad dog. At that time, a blue light seemed to flash in the mad dog's eyes.
Could it be that all this was planned in advance
Such a strange idea came to Jiang Cheng's mind.
Next, he noticed that Xu Dingjia did not walk towards the attic, but was walking in circles, seeming to be mumbling something.
Li Feng looked at it strangely and asked, "Are you casting a spell?"
Xu Dingjia rolled his eyes at the other person and said, "Do you really think that we monks can fly to the sky and escape by drawing a talisman and casting a spell like in the novel?"
"Then what are you doing?" Li Feng asked puzzledly.
"I'm calculating." Xu Dingjia replied.
Jiang Cheng also heard this strangely and asked, "What are you calculating?"
Xu Dingjia stopped and sighed: "I can't tell clearly at the moment. Anyway, the calculation just now failed. Let's just walk towards the destination."
When Jiang Cheng heard what the other party said, he had a strange feeling in his heart. It seemed that Xu Dingjia didn't think they would go to the attic. This feeling was weird and inexplicable. He couldn't explain the reason for the moment, so he had to suppress this strange thought and follow the two of them forward.
Within a few minutes, everyone had arrived at the door. Seeing the attic door close in front of him, Jiang Cheng felt a little at ease, which also proved that it was just a ridiculous thought in a panic. Jiang Cheng also noticed that he became a little different from the moment he entered this city. Specifically, it refers to psychological changes, or spiritual changes. He often has strange thoughts or weird feelings. As the investigation progressed, that feeling became more apparent. If this continues, these weird mental conditions will drive him crazy sooner or later... just like Zhang Xiao.
Xu Dingjia suddenly said at this time, "The previous speculation is about to come to fruition."
These words brought Jiang Cheng back to his senses. He saw the other party walking directly into the attic door. It was pitch dark inside the door, and Xu Dingjia just entered and disappeared. Li Feng and Jiang Cheng were afraid of getting separated from each other, so they quickly followed them.
As soon as they entered the door, the two immediately felt something was wrong. Because the room was not as dark as they imagined. Ahead was a corridor, and just to their left was a row of windows. Through the window, Jiang Cheng could clearly see the gray sky outside. Although the sky was very dark, it was not so dark that it was difficult to see.
"Did you find it?" Xu Dingjia's voice appeared in front of him, but Jiang Cheng didn't see a trace of anyone.
"Where are you?" Jiang Cheng's voice became a little louder in desperation, and there was an empty echo from the front.
"Keep your voice down." Xu Dingjia rushed out from the side and warned Jiang Cheng.
Looking at the position where Xu Dingjia appeared, Jiang Cheng saw that there was a door on the wall on the right, and there was a door every certain distance.
"Here..." Li Feng said suddenly, "This is the classroom! No, we were clearly going to the attic, how could we appear in the classroom?"
"Classroom?" Jiang Cheng then realized that there were corridors, windows, and a door at a distance. Isn't this exactly the layout of a classroom!
After Li Feng's introduction, they learned that this orphanage was formerly a primary school, so it would have a four-story teaching building.
"Look over there." Xu Dingjia walked to the front of the aisle and pointed to the back of the crowd and said.
Jiang Cheng turned back and looked out the window. Apart from the dark shadows of the buildings, there was nothing weird. Xu Dingjia added, "You can only see it if you stand here."
Li Feng walked over first, looked in the direction of Xu Dingjia's fingers, and couldn't help shouting: "Attic!"
"Keep your voice down!" Xu Dingjia said nervously, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
Jiang Cheng also saw at this time that the attic stood quietly in the distance.
"We were obviously heading towards the attic, how could we..." Jiang Cheng was so horrified that he could hardly speak. The familiar cold feeling rose in his heart again.
"Maze!" Xu Dingjia said solemnly, "The space here is upside down, so we will suddenly appear from one place to another."
"How is it possible? How could such a thing happen?" Li Feng could hardly control his emotions. If Xu Dingjia hadn't reminded him repeatedly, he would have almost shouted, "This is not scientific at all!"
"Unscientific?" Xu Dingjia sneered, "What do you mean by science? Studies have long ago proven that space is distorted by gravity. However, that is a conclusion drawn through observation and calculation. Generally speaking, People can't feel it at all, so they think time and space are constant. But where we are, the space is too obviously distorted, which makes people feel unrealistic."
