Volume Three: The Abyss of Fear
……………
I suddenly remembered something, something I had never thought about. What kind of person am I?
Am I considered strong or weak? Is he really kind or a hypocrite?
I have never thought about this kind of thing before, which is actually true. After all, besides philosophers, how many people in the world are willing to spend time thinking about such meaningless questions? Good or bad, life spans only a few decades and can quickly come to the end of life. Regarding this issue, people may only think carefully about the summary of a person's life when his life reaches the end.
I don’t know why, but I can’t help but think of this question now. Although many literary works have provided various analyzes of human nature, I still want to make an evaluation for myself. What kind of person am I, He Fei, exactly?
Unfortunately, I can't think of it, guess it, or judge it.
Perhaps I can only leave it to others to judge me.
I'm so tired, really tired, I'm so sleepy... I want to have a good sleep.
Um? what happened? Has the sleepiness disappeared?
Why does my tiredness disappear and become more awake? Remember I should have...
………
After a period of trance and darkness, He Fei slowly opened his eyes, but then he was stabbed by a light above his head and squinted his eyes. At this time, he was a little confused, and he was also confused in his mind about what was going on, but , after being lost in thought for about a few seconds, the next moment, out of instinct, He Fei jumped up from the ground with a leaping sound!
Looking around, with the help of light, I can see that there is a white space around me. It is very clean and quiet, and through the glass door in front, I can clearly see the broad scene outside...
Subway station waiting hall!
(This is the Abyss subway station, yes the treatment hall, I, I came back alive? I’m not dead!?)
It seemed difficult to accept this reality and he still didn't believe that he was still alive. As his thoughts turned around, he glanced at the body with only tattered clothes but no damage. He Fei subconsciously reached into his pocket and took out a skeleton ticket, and then, a relatively short paragraph. A short text message appears in the field of view:
Executor: He Fei.
Number of missions completed: 2.
Has survival value: 4.
(The mission is completed? I, I actually came back alive from the mission? Could it be...)
In his thoughts, He Fei figured out something, understood something, and recalled his experience at the end of the mission. In the impression, he seemed to be dead, and his consciousness quickly dissipated. However, the consciousness that quickly dissipated when he died happened to hear the cold sound. Voice, in a daze, he vaguely heard a cold voice saying that the mission was completed and the teleportation function was activated. Doesn't that mean...
(Holy shit!)
Unexpectedly, the time of his death was at the same second as the return of teleportation! ! !
That's right, as mentioned above, it was precisely when the teleportation function was activated that I still had a trace of consciousness, so the curse judged that I, who should have been dead, was still alive, and transmitted him back to the cursed space, so there was no Leave him in the mission world as a dead person.
Thinking of this, cold sweat spread all over his forehead and body, and his already frightened heart began to beat faster, becoming extremely frightened.
There was no reason for He Fei not to be afraid, and he couldn't help but secretly cry out for joy. It was so dangerous, so really dangerous. If his consciousness had dissipated a second earlier, would it be possible for him to be cursed and teleported back?
Not only that, the experience at the end of the mission was also the closest to death that He Fei had ever experienced in his life. It was even more dangerous than the experience in Crosso Town. After all, it was a real death experience, a true near-death experience. At that time Even He Fei himself thought that he could not still be alive, and even faced death calmly.
Fortunately, I was lucky, otherwise...
After the fear is over, what follows is joy, the joy of being lucky enough not to die!
At this moment, in the treatment hall, in addition to all injuries being completely repaired, He Fei, who had also been confirmed to have completed the mission and returned alive, was overjoyed. His face showed an expression of survival after the disaster, and he was even more excited that he could survive.
Just like fear, excitement comes and goes quickly. At any rate, this is not the first time He Fei has performed a supernatural mission. It is enough to show a little bit of excitement. After gradually calming down, with a certain thought in mind, the young man slowly Turn your head...
The first thing that caught his eye was Ye Wei, the senior female who also recovered as before, and the beautiful woman who was saved by He Fei at the end of the mission.
At present, the beautiful woman has just woken up like He Fei. She just stood up and put her hand on her forehead. She subconsciously looked forward and looked at He Fei. Seeing that the young man was not dead, inadvertently, a flash of joy flashed in the woman's eyes, but Disappeared quickly, and then, Ye Wei just stood there and stared at He Fei in a state of silence. Yes, it appeared that she said nothing and fell into silence, but deep down in her heart, there was something that had been hidden for a long time. The concept has been greatly shaken.
(Am I wrong? Or is the concept I have been insisting on wrong? Is there really light in this world?)
Sunshine will not always exist, and night is not an eternal theme either. The world is not all black. On the contrary, most of the time, light is the main theme of life.
(It seems that I was really wrong. The brilliance of human nature... does exist.)
As for He Fei, he found that the other party was silent. Although he was surprised and puzzled, when looking at each other, the young man still faintly caught some strange colors in the woman's eyes, and even many, many glances that had never been revealed before.
In his eyes, there was reluctance, apology, and a hint of subtle touch.
For a moment, the atmosphere was quite awkward. In order to prevent the awkward atmosphere from continuing, He Fei suddenly came back to his senses. He Fei hurriedly touched his head and smiled awkwardly at Ye Wei and said: "Ah, haha, sister Ye Wei, look, we won, we succeeded. Survived the mission!”
It's a pity that the college student's adjustment of the atmosphere was not appreciated by the other party. Ye Wei remained silent. Seeing this, I don't know whether Ye Wei's silence caused some resonance in He Fei or evoked a certain memory of the young man. In the silence, He Fei The smile gradually disappeared, and my mind couldn't help but think of someone.
I think of that bald man with a sinister face and a burly physique, and even more so, Peng Hu, who chose to sacrifice himself to save himself!
As for Peng Hu, He Fei admired him from the bottom of his heart. Although the bald man once said that he did this just to repay He Fei's life-saving grace, which is simple to say, but how many people in this world can truly do it at the moment of life and death? To repay a favor with your life?
Not only that, without Peng Hu, He Fei would have died at that time, let alone finding a way out to complete the mission later, and there would be no way he could return to the subway station alive.
"Brother Peng, you died so miserably..."
Thinking of this, He Fei looked sad and couldn't help but talk about it.
Somehow, just when He Fei was thinking of Peng Hu and planned to observe three minutes of silence for the bald man, he seemed to hear what the young man said. Opposite him, Ye Wei, who had been silent just now, frowned for a moment, and then put on a suspicious expression. Chao Hefei asked: "Huh? What were you talking about just now?"
"Uh, it's okay, I'm talking about Peng Hu."
Perhaps because he was afraid that Ye Wei had forgotten who this person was, he answered casually. After thinking about it, He Fei added specifically: "It's the bald man named Peng Hu. He introduced himself in the mission before. "
Who would have thought that as soon as He Fei finished speaking, Ye Wei was stunned for a moment, and then stared at him with an extremely puzzled look. Until He Fei was staring at him and was confused, the beautiful woman raised her finger and pointed behind the young man with a rather stern expression. Say something to him in a suspicious tone:
"There's nothing wrong with your eyes, right?"
Um?
Ding!
He Fei was startled for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction Ye Wei was pointing, and then...
He saw a person and a familiar figure in the corner on the right.
At this moment, under the light of the hall, He Fei not only saw the bright light reflected by someone's smooth scalp, but also heard a rough laughter that followed:
"Hahaha! I didn't expect that I didn't die!!!"
………
Hearing the rough laughter and seeing a familiar figure again, He Fei took a closer look. Who else could this person be if he wasn't Peng Hu?
The bald man didn’t die, he survived! ?
Yes, as what He Fei and Ye Wei saw in their eyes, Peng Hu was indeed not dead. He also persisted until the end of the mission. Although it is undeniable that the bald man was indeed submerged by huge waves when he rescued He Fei, and was even killed by a woman in the end. The worm transformed into water and attacked, but whether it was because he was lucky or because his vitality was too tenacious, just when the bald man was about to suffocate to death, a middle-aged security guard who was passing by the corridor happened to become the new target of the worm.
Sure enough, when she saw another living person appeared, the female tiger who always killed people on sight immediately changed the target of her attack and chased the middle-aged security guard with the current. As for Peng Hu...
Miraculously, he survived, and with his strong vitality, he gradually regained his breath in the suffocating state that could kill anyone!
Of course, these are all things for later. The important thing is that the bald man did not die. He returned to the cursed space like He Fei and the other two. After waking up, he was stunned for a long time. When he saw that he was indeed not dead, the bald man immediately laughed.
"Brother Peng!"
At this moment, listening to the bald man laughing wantonly and seeing that the other party had also recovered from his injuries, He Fei's original low mood disappeared instantly, he called the other party, and then walked towards the other party with a face of joy.
………
Seeing He Fei walking up to him, even though he had smiled just now, Peng Hu still showed joy and reached out to pat He Fei on the shoulder and said: "Hey! Brother, did you see? You, Brother Peng, are not dead! Hahaha!"
He Fei was also happy for Peng Hu, and also happy that the other party could survive, although he was still surprised as to how the other party survived? But in order not to spoil the atmosphere, and seeing that the other party was very happy, he temporarily put aside his doubts, and He Fei also casually echoed: "Yes, how can a good person like Brother Peng die so easily?"
For some reason, Xu was a little concerned about the word 'good guy'. After saying that, the bald man who had been smiling just now suddenly stopped smiling. Not only did the smile disappear, but his stubbled face also twitched slightly. After a few beats and a slight pause, he shook his head and sighed at the young man with a wry smile: "What? You said I'm a good person? Haha, I'm not as good as you think..."
(Huh? Not as good as expected? Is this person really not a good person in the past as he looks? Or has he done something in the past?)
In fact, when Peng Hu said this, not only did He Fei hesitate slightly in front of the bald man, but Ye Wei, who seemed to be indifferent to everything, subconsciously turned her eyes to the bald man, but... Peng Hu But he obviously didn't want to explain. When he suddenly came to his senses and saw that he was unharmed, the bald man was shocked at first, but before he could figure out what was going on, the man quickly said through the glass door in shock at the scene outside. Speechless.
Finally, Peng Hu discovered something. If he was still enveloped in the joy of being lucky to be alive at first, it didn't take long for the subway station in front of him to naturally attract the man's attention.
Da da da.
Similar to He Fei's first arrival at the subway station, after confirming that this place was still a subway station, Peng Hu, who had been swept into the subway entrance by a hurricane earlier, couldn't help but show a surprised expression. In addition, he was too suspicious. In addition to being shocked, he moved his legs and bald head. The man first opened the door and came out to the waiting hall. Then, he stood there and fell into a daze while scanning the surrounding environment with wide eyes...
After a long time, until He Fei and Ye Wei also walked out of the treatment hall, the bald man turned back to He Fei and asked in a puzzled tone: "You two, this should be a subway station, right? I was once A hurricane swept away, why did it just come in this time? Also, I remember it was dark here earlier? "
Having said this, the bald man raised his hand and pointed at the treatment hall and several similar buildings nearby, and then continued: "Huh? What are these buildings used for? And how did I recover from my injuries? By the way... ...Why are there only three of us here? Where are the others?"
Although there were too many questions pouring out from Peng Hu, He Fei could deeply understand the bald man's mood. After all, his reaction to this place was not much different from Peng Hu's when he returned from the previous mission. At the same time, Xu Fei He was tired of the almost similar reaction of the newcomers when they first came here. While Peng Hu was still curiously observing the surrounding environment, and just as He Fei was thinking about how to explain it, Ye Wei, who seemed quite tired, stood aside. He had already told He Fei: "It's getting late, He Fei, please stay and explain to him. I'm a little tired now, so I'll go back and rest first. Remember to remind this person to go to the conference hall for a meeting tomorrow morning."
"Oh well."
Not to mention, having a teammate who is not as smart as yourself can not only be helpful in the supernatural mission, but also useful in the subway station. With He Fei at least he doesn't have to bother himself to explain everything to the newcomers. Ye Wei gave He Fei the task of explaining the newcomers. When the young man nodded in agreement, the beautiful woman walked towards the north dormitory area without saying a word, but...
I don't know if she thought of something else during this period. As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Wei, who had turned around to leave, suddenly stopped, turned back, and turned her eyes to He Fei again. Then, under the puzzled gaze of the young man, she remained silent for a moment. , Ye Wei spoke, and said a word to the young man, a word that was originally difficult or even impossible to say from a woman's mouth:
"The world is not all black. Maybe I was really wrong..."
"Thank you."
After saying that, the woman left and returned to the dormitory hall.
However, He Fei was stunned. He was stunned by the woman's seemingly casual words. The reason? The reason is very simple. It comes from the fact that he is not a simple-minded person, or that he understands the meaning of the other party from what he just said.
The meaning is roughly divided into two points.
First, Ye Wei is the person in the team who has experienced the most supernatural missions, and the reason why she has successfully survived so many missions must be due to her extraordinary wisdom. However, in order to ensure her safety as much as possible, she But he used his wisdom to deceive his teammates and used his status as a senior to treat his teammates as pawns.
And He Fei was the only one who discovered Ye Wei's true face, so he gave Ye Wei a subtle persuasion at the end of the mission, because he could vaguely feel that women may not be the kind of unscrupulous people in nature. But I was lost in my original intention due to some previous experiences.
Finally, when she saw that He Fei had not abandoned herself at all costs, even like an idiot, she finally understood that she was wrong. The concepts of survival she had insisted on in the past were all wrong. The world was not all black. He Fei used practical actions to prove to her that there is still a glorious existence of humanity in this world, so she walked out of the psychological shadow that she had set for herself, and the person who helped her get rid of the darkness and walk out of the shadow was none other than He Fei.
This change meant a lot to Ye Wei, so she had to say the words 'thank you' no matter what.
As for the second point, it is the most critical point.
The words just now were Ye Wei's answer to him.
Yes, when he was in the Rose Cinema before, he risked his life to save the other party and was about to run to the power room. He, He Fei, said the following two paragraphs to Ye Wei.
Right now……
"Sunshine will not always exist, and night is not an eternal theme either. The world is not all black. On the contrary, most of the time, light is the main theme of life."
"So...Sister Ye Wei, if I am still alive this time, I hope to see the real you when I go back, a you who has emerged from the darkness."
Now, Ye Wei gave him an answer. Just as when he asked Ye Wei a question with a sentence that ordinary people could not understand, this time, Ye Wei also gave him the most direct and affirmative answer with a sentence full of profound meaning.
Watching Ye Wei's retreating back, He Fei smiled, showing a hint of relief.
Because he knew that Ye Wei had changed from this moment on. Although he didn't know the other person's inner thoughts, He Fei still got the answer he most hoped for from Ye Wei's words just now.
(Sister Ye Wei, in fact, you still haven’t realized that the you now, the you who have emerged from the darkness...are the real you!)
Ye Wei is now a new Ye Wei. As for Ye Wei's past...
Just let it blow away in the wind.
At the same time, just as He Fei was watching his back and feeling happy, Ye Wei, who had been walking silently in front of him, had already burst into tears unknowingly...
It feels really good to bathe in the sunshine.
