Chapter 594: The true face of eerie footsteps

Hearing the familiar rustling sound again, Lei Xiao was surprised, and commanded his subordinates, quietly came to the cave wall on the right side to stand still, and began to listen attentively.

Through careful comparison of the two voices before and after, Lei Xiao found out.

It can be confirmed whether it is from the frequency of footsteps landing or from the sound of chaotic footsteps of many people.

This sound of footsteps is exactly the same as the sound of footsteps going away just now.

This point was also confirmed by Lei Xiao's gaze from Nanxing Nanyue.

As an assassin, Nan Xing Nanyue has undergone extremely rigorous training in hearing, so it is naturally impossible to make mistakes no matter what.

Moreover, from the gazes of Hu Zhang and others, Lei Xiao knew.

The second footsteps also didn't yield anything in terms of energy fluctuations, breath, and smell.

From this, an incredible answer emerged.

The two footsteps, one before the other, were indeed from the same group.

"Good guy, scored twice? However, since entering the tunnel passage, it has always been a straight passage deep underground, without any fork in the road, not even a bend."

At this time, an uncontrollable puzzled expression appeared on Lei Xiao's cheek: "If this is the case, why does the voice that has gone away from behind me appear from the front again?"

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao frowned slightly.

If the sudden sound of footsteps just now was just a pebble smashing into the water, it caused some ripples in his heart.

Then, the second strange sound of footsteps was like the coming of a big tide. In his heart, layers of waves were stirred up.

At this moment, in Lei Xiao's eyes, it was not just the strange footsteps.

Even this dark tunnel passage that exudes a permeating green and extends all the way to the ground seems to have become very weird.

"It seems that my team should be in some kind of trouble."

Frowning again, Lei Xiao refocused his attention on the sound of approaching footsteps.

Hold your breath and listen.

Clap, clap, clap...

Accompanied by the deliberately low and slightly chaotic sound of multiple footsteps, they are getting closer.

Finally, when the strange footsteps that had been on the left side of the passage were approaching, almost parallel to Lei Xiao's group standing on the right side of the passage, something happened.

This time, the opponent, who was also in an invisible state, did not directly pass by his side like the first time.

Instead, the sound suddenly stopped, making the entire passage instantly quiet.

For a while, in the huge tunnel passage, there was only the dripping sound of water seepage on the cave wall, and it was still falling from time to time around.

"The other party stopped?"

Under the gloomy green environment, Lei Xiao couldn't help being startled, and thought to himself: "Could it be that the other party has noticed our presence?"

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's expression froze, his body bent slightly, and he assumed a posture ready to fight.

The subordinates around him are all ready to attack, ready to attack.

Even though this would expose one's whereabouts and make the plan to find Benson fail, it is much better to strike first than to be beaten passively.

However, just when all the subordinates were gearing up and preparing to compete with the mysterious invisible enemy not far away.

Lei Xiao suddenly stretched out his right hand in front of his chest, put the tip of his left finger on the palm of his right hand, and made a stop gesture.

After the initial panic, Lei Xiao immediately reacted.

Since the opponent didn't notice his side the first time, there is still a possibility that he won't notice it the second time.

Therefore, the reason why the other party stopped was definitely not because they discovered their own whereabouts.

"Since the other party didn't find us, why did they suddenly stop? It's just incredible."

"What is even more puzzling is that in this straight passage where it is impossible to detour, the opponent has already passed by the side that is always going forward, how can it pass by the side that is always going forward again? A second time?!"

Along with the footsteps of the other party, it sounded again.

This time, the opponent's pace was significantly faster.

Almost in the blink of an eye, they quickly disappeared behind the group of people.

"For the first time, the opponent's pace did not stop."

"For the second time, although the opponent's pace stopped for a while, the pace before and after the stop did not change."

"For the third time, the opponent's pace still stopped, but after starting again, the pace speed was obviously accelerated, coupled with the feeling of becoming more and more familiar..."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao was stunned, and suddenly a look of enlightenment appeared on his bewildered face.

He took a deep breath first, and then said to the subordinates: "Okay, there is no need to silence the sound now, I have figured out the true face of the weird footsteps."

"But my lord, if we talk like this, will the other party notice?"

Hearing the sound, the furry ears on the top of Bai Wei's head moved, and she couldn't help but speak softly.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if the other party finds out, because the real face of the other party is us."

Nodding to the Snow Wolf Clan woman, Lei Xiao smiled lightly.

"The real face of the other party is our own?!"

After hearing this unbelievable answer, all the subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay.

Immediately afterwards, expressions of enlightenment gradually began to appear on the faces of the subordinates, and they all obviously reacted.

Among them, only Chao Yan and Bai Wei looked at Lei Xiao with puzzled eyes.

Looking at the big green eyes reflected on the cave wall by the two of them, Lei Xiao couldn't help but smiled helplessly, and said, "Do you two still remember each other's every move?"

"Remember, the first time we encountered each other, the other party didn't stop, but walked over directly."

Nodding in confusion, Chaoyan's big eyes rolled up slightly, obviously remembering: "But the second time, the other party suddenly stopped in front of us."

"That's right. During the second encounter, although the other party stopped for a while, it didn't look like they had discovered our existence. It really made people feel a little confused."

Bai Wei at the side tilted her head and added.

"During the second encounter, the other party stayed because we stopped during the first encounter."

Lei Xiao still kept smiling, and said patiently: "The other party didn't have a reason to stay for the first time. It's actually very simple. It's because we haven't met each other yet, so naturally we won't stay."

After a pause, Lei Xiao explained again: "In other words, when we met each other for the first time, what we met was actually us who had never met each other before, and when we met each other for the second time, what we met The ones are the ones who met each other for the first time."

"My lord, the subordinates seem to understand."

She pouted and nodded, Chaoyan Daimei frowned slightly, and thoughtfully said: "The third time we encounter the opponent, the reason why the opponent will stop and quicken his pace is because we, after the second encounter, Why did you quicken your pace?"

"So that's it! The other party has been repeating our actions last time!"

Hearing this, Bai Wei flicked her big fluffy tail lightly, and suddenly said: "So, the other party is just our mirror image?!"

"That's right, this tunnel passage obviously has some kind of magical function of generating mirror images."

Gently snapping his fingers, Lei Xiao affirmed: "In this way, it also explains from the side, we can neither detect any energy fluctuations, breath and smell of the other party, nor can we see the real reason of the other party."

"That is us who are under the invisibility cloak and in a state of invisibility. Even if a mirror image is produced, the only thing that can be imitated is our footsteps."

After finishing talking Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved, and then he looked at the twin sisters beside him and said, "Nan Xing Nanyue, from the sound of footsteps, can you come to the same conclusion?"

"Lord Lord, at the second time, the subordinates could distinguish the specific number of footsteps of the other party, but there were two people less than our team."

Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Nan Xing blushed slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "At that time, my subordinates hadn't reacted yet, the footsteps were made by us, after all, the number of voices didn't match."

"Because the two subordinates have received rigorous stealth training, the footsteps are almost negligible, so only the footsteps of two people are missing."

A shy and crisp voice sounded, and Nanyue on the side added: "Thanks to the reminder from the lord, the two subordinates were able to react with hindsight."

"Very good, it seems that things are clear."

Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao immediately said, "Okay, all this is just our reasoning after all, let's verify it next."
