Feng Bujue and the two beauties continued to walk on the plain for a while, and the environment still looked the same in front of them. There was a piece of green grass with flat terrain and mountains in the distance, but no matter how they went, the mountains did not get close to them.
Feng Bujue couldn’t help looking back and found that he could still see the stone tablet with big characters.
“We have to go back.” He stopped immediately, said.
“Isn’t this the way back?" Lu Qingning answered. She thought that Feng Bujue said “go back” is to go back to Canglin Town, and this sentence is a nonsense talk…… Lu Qingning arrived here earlier than Feng Bujue and Like Rain, and she entered here in the early morning of last night, and then experienced more than three hours. In terms of the human biological clock, at this moment, Lu Qingning is like having just stayed up all night, being hunted, being on the road… So now she was very tired and emotionally irritable.
“I mean go back to the stone tablet." Feng Bujue answered.
Lu Qingning turned her head: “There is nothing, what to do there?” She knew they can't leaving the stone, but she had looked around it carefully and found nothing to help her.
Before Feng Bujue and Rain came here, Lu Qingning’s first experience in this area was similar to the coordinates of two players. But she walked for a long time, the distance did not seem to change. Then she walked and rested a few times, and returned to study the tablet, but found nothing, and went on towards the plain. Later, when she turned around for the Nth time, she finally saw something different… Two figures.
“That’s the only reference we can actually get to.” Feng Bujue said, “Now that we have reached an impasse… “
“Reference?" Lu Qingning repeated with a slight frown. Clearly, she did not understand the meaning of this word.
“Is used to judge whether an object is moving or not with another object.” Feng Bujue said.
“Huh?” Miss. Lu was even more confused.
“Ah… We’ll see when we get there.” Feng Bujue gave up the explanation.
Although there was no convincing explanation, Lu Qingning herself cannot figure out what to do. And in her opinion, since the other side is husband and wife, that Li girl will not oppose the idea mentioned by Feng Bujue, so she has no choice but to follow the two of them.
It did not take long to get back to the stone, and the distance was the same as it had been measured. If they are moving, they can get closer to the stone tablet.
When the three people stood under the huge stone tablet, Feng Bujue said, “Miss. Lu, have you ever tried to stare at the stone tablet and walk backwards?”
Lu Qingning's eyes shined for a moment: “Yes…… In this way… “She paused. “Wait, why we go back then? When we were far away, you should… “
“I tried, it's not working.” Feng Bujue interrupted her, and a basin of cold water was thrown by him.
Lu Qingning was a little angry, she said, “Lord Feng, are you making fun of me? You try and ask me, and you only say half a sentence."
“Don’t be angry with him. He likes to play tricks like that. There’s no harm in it.” Rain started to cover Feng Bujue, it's not intended to exonerate for him, she was just afraid that this NPC could be mad about that.
“From an experimental point of view, I personally, through a single act, get results that are not 100% reliable.” Feng Bujue said, “So I want to ask you to make sure.”
” I don’t understand most of what you just said.” Lu Qingning answered.
“Well, it doesn’t matter what I said.” Feng Bujue changed his tone then, “In a word, I think this phenomenon of ‘can’t be far away’ is an obvious hint that we are going in the wrong direction.”
“Wrong direction?" Lu Qingning confused, and then instinctively looked to the other side… It was a deep-dark abyss covered with mist and clouds.
“This stone tablet, it’s like a border pillar, and this one…” Feng Bujue turned around, stretched the arm to draw a line in front of them: “Is the borderline.” He turned to the sea of clouds that seemed to be at the end of the world: “Where we are now is only the entrance to the Area of Vajra Bell.” He opened his palm and pointed forward. “Which side, do you think, is the Area of Vajra Bell? This side?” then he pointed to the plain behind him. “Or it's that side?”
“Are you mad? If it is not an abyss, it is far from a hundred feet. Could you keep a human shape after you jump?” Lu Qingning glared her eyes.
As if he had not heard her, Feng Bujue continued, “When we first entered this place, we were standing at the boundary line, but we took it for granted that the plain over there was more like the "road" than the valley of fog on the cliff behind us.
"But in fact, that’s the way to go forever. As long as we get a certain distance from the stone tablet, the stone in our sight will not be further away. Which means we can't get further in that distance."
“Just tell us the way to go down.” Like Rain directly move to the point of the topic.
“What can I do? I don’t even have a rope or something “Feng Bujue moved forward, looking at the impenetrable white fog, “How long the rope will be if we need to go from here…"
This is true, to the player, this terrain of the fall…… It’s like an ant standing on the curved edge of a washing machine. It’s not exactly a vertical cliff, but from an ant’s perspective, it’s pretty spectacular.
“Ahh…… What does Lord Feng really want to do?” Lu Qingning sighed and sat on the grass. Even though she was a master of light work, she could not stand going back and forth this way without sleeping, eating and drinking.
Feng Bujue… answered very decisive: “The Leap of Faith.” 1)
These three words made Lu Qingning extreme confused, her facial expression was like, “Although I do not know what you are saying, it sounds so coolllllll”.
After Like Rain heard that, she stared at Feng Bujue with her usual cold eyes for two seconds, then the eyes gradually took on the feeling of contempt. Finally, she gently opened her lips, and sneered: “You are prepared to use a high-end western style and gorgeous way, to let me become a widow.”
Feng Bujue's face was a thick wall and it was not moving her words completely. He returned calmly: “Hha…… Don’t worry my dear, but let me try.” He said, taking a step forward. “Oh, by the way, if after five minutes, the system doesn’t tell you I’m dead, you can consider the movement to jumping back.”
1) A famous trick in game series Assassin's Creed. It was used to describe a character jump from a high place but land safely. In the game, it's like "High Dive-Perform": A Leap of Faith from the Top of Florence’s Giotto’s Campanile. Researched by British scientists, the leap will cause people to die for sure, please don't try it in real life :）
