157. Obscurity

I took the walkie-talkie and told Lao Xie about the situation here. Lao Xie said that he had heard from the elders before about this kind of blinding method set up in the tomb. In fact, this kind of blinding method just takes advantage of human visual misunderstandings and illusions.

.For example, you are only allowed to see one kind of scenery for a long time, and then you only focus on paying attention to these scenery, but ignore that the entire road is actually slightly inward arc. After walking for a long time, you still circle around this large inner arc.

I asked him: "According to what you said, there should be a point in the middle. Starting from this point, this tomb passage entered an endless cycle, and the other end of this point is the passage into the tomb of King Khan?"

"Wushuang, you have to pay attention. Often the most inconspicuous things are the most critical. Try to find out what kind of endless cycle of scenery is there. Maybe it is the most inconspicuous decoration that is the breakthrough. The fork in the road is right there!"

Xie said on the intercom.

I analyzed his words carefully. Although we can't be sure of Lao Xie's identity, at least he is a professional gold-touching captain. Our ancestors are the most experienced in this kind of thing. He can't lie to us, and our commission has not been paid yet.

Well, I definitely hope we can make it out alive.

"The most inconspicuous thing, the most inconspicuous thing, what is the most inconspicuous thing...?" I muttered his words.

Needless to say, I definitely have the highest IQ among them, but often at this time, it doesn’t matter how high your IQ is. What is most needed is a brain like the two of them. It’s a very simple question, and I struggled to answer it.

I thought about it for thirteen times, using various rules and calculation methods, and I had to think about whether it was a brain teaser. But others can just calculate it as 1+1=2.

"Haha...the most inconspicuous thing is the oil lamp?" Mouse said suddenly.

I patted my thigh, yes, it was this oil lamp. There was nothing along the way, only these dim lamps, arranged in a special order. There was one of these ancient lamps every 20 meters away, very regular, so

This means that we just walked along the tomb passage and there was nothing else. We all focused on this lamp and did not pay attention to whether we were walking in a straight line.

In order to confirm my guess, I took out the rope and asked the mouse to hold one end. He and I tightened the rope and stood under two oil lamps for comparison. In this way, the two points were in line, and the results were immediately available.

There is a small extra piece in the distance between them. The entire tomb passage we walked has an arc of almost five or six degrees, which is impossible to distinguish with the naked eye. Then we only need to find where the slight arc of the tomb passage begins to change.

You will definitely be able to find the "point" that Lao Xie mentioned.

We held the rope and measured each lamp backward little by little. I discovered a pattern. Every time we measured the tenth lamp, the distance between the eleventh lamp in front of it and it would shorten a little.

It's only about 10 meters. In addition to this, there is another rule. The further you go back, the arc will shrink slightly. At the beginning, we couldn't see it clearly with the naked eye. At the last distance, the arc was actually made of ropes at both ends.

It is impossible to distinguish at all, that is, it is less than or equal to 1 degree.

"Wait, Oops, why do I feel like... this is not a maze... We made a mistake... this seems like... it is... Oh, I still can't tell what this rotating arc is.
