Without waiting for Black Wind to say anything, the messenger in white yanked the man holding the wounded soldier out with one hand, “Let me ask you, how many metres do you think you have travelled roughly?”
The man was obviously taken aback and subconsciously replied, “Back to the envoy, about …… about seven or eight metres, didn’t he already answer that just now?”
The envoy in white shook his head, “Are you sure it was really a distance of seven or eight meters?”
“That …… is indeed ah.” The man was a little flustered.
The envoy in white was not angry and said indifferently, “Think carefully again, don’t worry, even if you answer wrong, I won’t blame you, but it must be true.”
The man wanted to retort, but there was nothing to say, so he could only lower his head and think back carefully.
Black Wind hurriedly stepped forward, looking at the white-clothed envoy with some confusion, and opened his mouth to ask, “Older brother, what’s going on here, why do you have to ask two people one question, the
Moreover, do people have to be sure over and over again?”
Black Wind was not afraid that the white-clothed envoy was deliberately making things difficult for his men, instead he was afraid that there was another intention behind this, so he could not help but ask.
The white-clothed envoy nodded, “I suspect that the seven or eight metres distance is not the truth.”
“You mean they lied?” Black Wind instantly looked at his men with some anger.
“There is no need to be angry, man, what I mean is not that they lied, but that they did not think clearly before answering. That man was a wounded soldier, and for him, being wounded again, his body was in pain, so he wanted to get out of there as soon as possible, and as you know, the more a person thinks about time, the slower he will actually find time passing subconsciously. In the same way, when he wants to get here quickly, his subconscious mind will find the road long because of the effects of pain and so on.”
Hearing the words of the white envoy, the black
Wind also snapped out of it.
This is like when you are going somewhere and you think it will be relatively far to reach your destination when you don’t know the way.
Whereas if you are in a place you are familiar with and you are completely at ease with it, you actually don’t have much of an idea in your head about this thing called kilometres.
Naturally, in a relatively subconscious way, you think that this stretch of road that you are familiar with is actually not that far away.
And if the distance between the two before and after is not too exaggerated, you might even think that the latter is actually closer than the former.
This is some of the errors in information that arise when people are in different states.
“Think about it, how far is it.” After Black Wind came to understand, he also hurriedly looked at the uninjured man.
Obviously, that guy was uninjured, so he didn’t have the same urgency in his heart as that person.
The answer he gave was also often most likely the closest to the real answer.
“Don’t be misled by the man in front of you, because he could be wrong.” The envoy in white said hastily.
The man nodded, and after glancing at both envoys without anger, he couldn’t help but secretly think carefully.
Soon, he raised his head, “If you were to ask me, my true feeling would be around four or five metres.”
“Then we’ll dig at a distance of seven or eight metres.” The white-clothed envoy made up his mind.
Black Wind froze, hadn’t this been re-asked and confirmed to be around four or five metres away? How come all of a sudden they were digging towards a distance of seven or eight metres.
So if that was the case, wouldn’t it be redundant?
It would be better to just follow the earliest answer.
The white envoy smiled and shook his head: “It is because I believe the answer of this person behind me that
was seven or eight metres away.”
“Huh?” Black Wind was a bit confused, he really didn’t understand what the meaning of this was.
If he believed in the latter, then why did he have to touch it in the same order as before?
What kind of logic was this, he really couldn’t figure it out.
The white-clothed envoy smiled gently and opened his mouth, saying, “Time is short, let’s first arrange for someone to follow this, and after that, I will tell you why we should do so, is that alright?”
Black Wind also understood the urgency of the matter, nodded, and immediately told his men to do as they were instructed.
Soon, the two teams quickly pulled apart and used the tunnel as a starting point, digging a passage towards the left and right sides.
There were many people on this side after all, and the digging was very fast.
Black Wind took advantage of this gap and couldn’t resist his inner question, “I say, old brother, explain to me what this is all about?”
