I really can't bring myself to say this! No matter how I explain, it just doesn't come out right. Even if I admit I have a split personality, I only have one body! After struggling for a while, I could only stare into Xianxian's eyes and said earnestly, "I consider you a brother."
If you really don't believe me, then there's nothing more to say. Although it's a pity that we would go our separate ways from here on out, I don't need a friendship filled with flaws and gaps! Because...
The road ahead is still long, very long! My back and my life can only be entrusted to a brother I completely trust!
"Naturally." Xianxian also looked into my eyes, the corners of his mouth curling into an attractive arc. I didn't know why he suddenly seemed to understand, and the distant aura around him had vanished. Perhaps he was willing to believe me now? I smiled with joy and said, "We will definitely find Divine Sign!"
"Mm." Xianxian nodded and walked upward alone. I stood in place, waiting for the plan to unfold. The corridor was exceptionally quiet; even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. The madness in my head had ceased, and we were both quietly waiting for that moment to arrive.
Bang bang bang—
The loud explosion echoed in my ears, shaking the entire corridor once again. Since this place was sealed off, the deafening blast was even more unimpeded. Reluctantly, I had to cover my ears tightly to prevent my eardrums from bursting.
My heart was pounding violently; perhaps it was due to tension or excitement. I kept my eyes wide open, scanning my surroundings intently as the noise gradually faded. I stood still, listening carefully for any subtle movements around me. I had to find the mechanism! I had to get out as soon as possible!
With a clear mind, all I needed was the faint sound of mechanical movement. After two explosions, no matter how powerful or precise the mechanism was, it must have been damaged. If that's the case, why can't I still hear anything?
Time passed second by second until the corridor fell completely silent. I still hadn't discovered any clues and sat down in despair. A strong sense of disappointment welled up inside me. Had we failed? Were we really unable to escape?
The continuous footsteps coming from both directions made my mood even heavier and more irritable. It wasn't a ghostly wall; it wasn't a multidimensional space—could it not be a mechanism either? What exactly were we trapped by?!
The footsteps grew closer and closer; I knew they would be here soon. I couldn't help but look up, and in that moment, something strange flashed through my mind! Although it quickly disappeared, at that instant, I grasped it tightly and stared unblinkingly upward. Calming myself down to listen closely, I felt like the mystery was about to be unraveled!
Climbing up continuously, always in a loop—what's the difference from going in circles?
Going in circles, going in circles, are we trapped in a circle? Climbing up along the edge of the circle endlessly! Yes!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get excited and stood up. Only then did I realize that everyone had come to my side, all looking at me with puzzled expressions. At that moment, Xianxian smirked and said, "What did you think of?"
"I believe we are in the layers of two circles. Haven't you noticed how strange the stones are here? I think they are similar to meteorites, with a strong gravitational pull. The gravity system has quietly changed, and we have been going around this circle endlessly!" I excitedly shared my thoughts. Some people agreed with me while others were still hesitant. At this moment, I couldn't care less and joyfully pointed upwards, saying, "The mechanism is up there. Did you notice anything unusual in certain places above?"
"The noise is too loud; I can't hear anything!" Wang Yi said somewhat irritably.
"You initially said it was Four-Dimensional Space, then you mentioned a mechanism, and now you're saying it's inside a circle. Are you even capable of this? We don't have much stamina left for you to waste on experiments!"
"Exactly, do you think we're your lab rats?"
"Boss, don't listen to this kid; who knows where he got his information from? He might just want us all to die here!"
As soon as I finished speaking, a group of people began to criticize me all at once. I couldn't help but twitch my lips; thinking back to my previous guesses made me feel a bit embarrassed. After all, one must theorize if they want to find a way out. Isn't it normal to make a few wrong deductions?
I looked at Xianxian for help; this time I was genuinely confident. Xianxian remained leaning against the wall, seemingly unfazed by the chatter around him, and calmly said, "If what you're saying is true, I actually noticed something."
"Xianxian?" Wang Yi looked up at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect Xianxian to be willing to try again.
I understood their thoughts; the failures from the last two attempts had significantly increased their sense of despair. If we failed again this time... But we had to try for the sake of getting out!
"Pack your things and follow me." Xianxian, carrying his black backpack, walked ahead to the place where he had previously "stood guard." I quickly organized my bag and followed him. If we accidentally left behind our tools in the backpack, it would be too late for regrets!
When we reached the location, Xianxian stopped and pointed to a certain spot, saying, "Over there, I felt something resonate at that time. I didn't dare to act recklessly then, but let's try it now; there might really be something interesting!"
"I'll do it!" Wang Yi took out a few titanium rods from his bag and quickly assembled them into one. He was about to poke at it.
"Wait a minute." I looked at everyone and took a deep breath. "If my guess is correct, everyone needs to be mentally prepared!"
"What kind of preparation?" Wang Yi glanced at me irritably and asked.
Just as I was about to respond, Xianxian interjected, "Be ready to fall!"
Although I wasn't sure if the mechanism was here, Xianxian's keen observation couldn't be underestimated. Since he noticed something unusual, there might indeed be a problem! All the flashlights shone on the black stone above us, illuminating it like a beacon of hope in the darkness! We all looked up at the titanium rod gradually approaching the spot Xianxian indicated, our heartbeats growing louder—failure meant being trapped again, while success could lead us out!
"Bang—" A melodious yet deep sound resonated from above. The surrounding silence made this ethereal sound exceptionally clear. We couldn't hear anything else; Wang Yi was still pushing hard against the stone. Suddenly, with a loud "thud," the black stone sank inward. Before I could express my surprise and joy, I lost my balance and began to float upward. In that instant, the black stone split open to the sides, and I saw all of us "pass through"!
Did we make it out!?
Just as excitement surged in my heart, I suddenly felt myself falling headfirst! The strange sensation of rising turned into a downward plunge in an instant—a transformation completed in mere seconds—until I landed heavily on the ground. Around me came several muffled thuds. I was almost brought to tears; we were out! Finally out!
Although there was no light, the ground was flat! The icy touch constantly reminded me that we had escaped from that damned cycle!
