Chongyang has always had his own ideas. After listening to him say this, I was also interested: "Oh? Then I will listen to your analysis."
He thought for a while: "Leave aside the disappearance of Li Yuanyi and Yuanzhi first, let's talk about this advance team that doesn't seem to exist."
I nodded, and he continued: "If Li Yuanyi is the same person from beginning to end, then the advance team he mentioned should also exist, and the two sides have been in constant contact through satellite phones, but I don’t know why they came out of the hotel. After that, he kept secrets about this matter and never contacted the team in the forest again."
"In other words, I haven't contacted in front of us." I said.
Chongyang nodded: "So in between, it is very likely that something happened that caused Li Yuanyi's change."
"What could it be?" I looked at him.
"Have you noticed that there is something weird about our journey along the way?"
I thought for a while, "There are so many weird things, do I need to find out?"
"It's a detail."
"Tell me the truth." I said to myself how you learned Gu Tang and began to sell it.
"Tiangong Biology has mastered the specific coordinates of Longshan Mountain, so the route chosen by Li Yuanyi and the route chosen by the advance team should basically overlap. But along the way, have you found any traces left by the advance team?"
I recalled that when I was around the Guyuan Forest Farm, there were vaguely traces of forest rangers in the forest. Li Yuanyi occasionally picked up some food packaging for observation. But at the most primitive section, there is no trace of anyone walking. We are like the first people to come here.
"Especially for this wooden house. Yuan Zhi said that the fire dragon in the house was built when the railway soldiers developed the Daxingan Mountains. Then this location should be a necessary way for the surroundings. But obviously, before us, it seems that there is no No one has been here."
I nodded and agreed: "It's like the advance team Li Yuanyi mentioned in the hotel has never existed."
"He will not aimlessly. Since he mentioned it, there must be such a team, but I don't know why, it disappeared." He paused, and then continued: "This is just a guess, it must go through this matter. There are too many possibilities."
I just feel that my thinking is suddenly a little cheerful, and I meditated: "It is true, but this is a reluctantly self-consistent and well-founded statement, and now I can only guess based on this line of thinking."
If Li Yuanyi had been in contact with the advance team, after that night at the hotel, he might have suddenly lost news of the advance team and could no longer contact the team. For some reason, he concealed this matter and continued to prepare with us to enter the mountain, but the purpose of entering the mountain has long since changed, from exploring Longshan to an advance team looking for disappearance.
I want to understand one thing: "If the advance team suddenly disappears for some reason, and there is no trace left, then Li Yuanyi and Yuanzhi..."
Chongyang said: "It is very likely that they have also encountered the same thing and disappeared."
"Where are the traces? Traces are a very important question. Why are there no traces left. For example, footprints on the snow. Did the footprints disappear after they disappeared, or did they never leave footprints on the snow? "I asked.
This is a more critical question, which is related to where the problem lies.
"Could it be that after Li Yuanyi and Yuan Zhi went out, a power suddenly appeared that restored everything, not only took away the two people, but also erased all the footprints in the snow."
"When I went out to check, they didn't even have their footprints at the door. If there was some kind of power that erased all the traces in the snow..." I frowned and thought for a moment, some clues gathered in my mind. , There was a vague idea about to come out: "...No!"
I suddenly thought of a possibility, startled in horror, and looked up at Chongyang.
He said: "What did you think of?"
I condensedly said: "We still think about things too simple. When we just went out, only the footprints of Li Yuanyi and Yuanzhi disappeared, but some footprints still existed."
Chongyang Road: "You mean..."
I continued: "The footprints we had when we came here are still there. Although they are blurred, they can still be seen. Only the footprints of Li Yuanyi and Yuanzhi when they went out have disappeared."
"Why is this? Could it be said that the unknown power only selectively erased the footprints of the two behind... Or that the footprints of the two behind never appeared
"I will think about it again." I stroked my forehead with a headache.
Chongyang no longer speaks.
There must be some kind of connection behind everything. If you can't find it, it means that the scope of consideration is not large enough.
The core of all things must still lie in Longshan Mountain. In the underground of Longshan Mountain, everything seems to be inextricably linked to the things underground.
The first is the night of purple light between Mae Kishijiro and Xiangshui. There were three suspicious points that night: the suddenly turned world, all the buildings dropped around Longshan as the center; Qianjiang, which was resurrected from the dead; the body was symmetrically facing the water.
The second is the last night Xiang Shui left Longshan. That night there was a person exactly like him. No, to be precise, the person who was dismembered was normal Xiang Shui, and Xiang Shui who survived was turned over. People.
There are also some sporadic clues: the semi-finished warehouse and walls of the 308th factory, the double-sided monsters in the gymnasium, the symmetrical corpses of the Japanese, what Liu Wendao said before his death.
Now, Li Yuanyi, Yuanzhi and their footprints disappeared. I have unknowingly changed from a listener to a player in the game. What I saw is just the tip of the iceberg in Longshan. If I can’t figure this out, I’m afraid... After thinking about it, I read it. Look at your right hand, use it to pick up a piece of dry wood and put it into the fire pit... I am afraid that after today, Ningchuan, who walked out of Daxinganling, is not the current Ningchuan.
Right now, the extra distance from Guyuan Town to Longshan, the vanishing advance team, everything, as Xiang Shui said, is related to one of the most crucial words, symmetrical.
The symmetry of Japanese architecture, the left and right symmetry of the human body, the front and back symmetry, and even the reproduction of the human body.
So what we are encountering right now, will it be another kind of symmetry, regional symmetry? I don't believe in ghosts and gods. It is still the case now. I prefer to explain all this in a relatively scientific way.
Or, use a science fiction word to replace symmetry, called mirror image. (End of this chapter)
