Sigh...
The death of the middle-aged security guard and the disappearance of the black shadow are the last scene of the entire video. The video preview ends here, and the screen in front quickly dims until it returns to black after more than ten seconds. As the video ends, several lines of blood appear. Red text also slowly appeared in everyone’s sight:
Task name: Night shift security guard.
Mission location: Hengfeng Building.
Mission goal: The executor needs to stay in Hengfeng Building for one full night to complete the mission.
Tip (1): During the execution of the task, no executor is allowed to leave the building. Anyone who violates the rules will be terminated. The task time is from 22:00 to 5:00 in the morning. When the time is reached, the task is completed. In addition, the executor will own the building after entering the task world. Night shift security guard identity.
Tip (2): The performer of this supernatural mission is prohibited from using any props. If used forcibly, the props will be invalid. There is a clock-in machine on the 20th floor of the building, and security guards can clock in in front of the clock-in machine.
Mission difficulty: Normal level.
Note: After completing the task, all survivors will receive a 2-point survival bonus.
………
A minute later the red letter disappeared and the carriage lights came back on.
"It's over. It seems that I am going to die in this mission... I guess everyone is in danger as well..."
It is often said that most people tend to have some instinctive reactions when faced with unacceptable facts. This is very true. After browsing the task information, Yao Fujiang was subconsciously prompted to say the above sentence and pessimistic remarks. This is very Is it strange? No, this is not surprising at all. At least for He Fei and Peng Hu, who have had a lot of contact with Yao Fujiang recently, it is completely normal for a young man with a flat head to have such a reaction, especially He Fei. Although he admits that Yao Fujiang has a sense of justice, I am even more aware of the helpless reality that this guy is still a coward.
So it was natural that all the senior people present chose to ignore Yao Fujiang's remarks, which were obviously damaging to their own morale, and were instead attracted by what the other person said. Yes, as soon as Yao Fujiang finished speaking, Cheng Ying also rarely said a word. talk:
"A supernatural mission with forbidden props... The wolf is also very strong, but the difficulty is at the normal level."
When Cheng Ying said this, she had already recovered from the nervousness she felt when watching the video before, and her expression was as calm as before. It sounded like what this professional killer said was nonsense, but out of respect for Cheng Ying Due to their familiarity with his character, He Fei and Ye Wei understood the implication of the other person's words almost simultaneously.
As we all know, from the moment you enter Hell Train and the prop cabinet appears, props are often disabled in subsequent normal-level missions. Why are props banned? Why? If the newcomers in the back row may not understand it yet, then these two people are very clear about the fundamental reason why props are often disabled in ordinary-level tasks. The explanation is not complicated. Take Ye Wei as an example, as the person who has experienced the most tasks in the entire team, who can compare with her? Everyone understands this first-hand, and she is also the one with the most say. In Ye Wei's past mission experience, there have indeed been cases where the strength of Qi in ordinary-level missions occasionally surpassed that of Qi in mid-level and upper-level missions. On the surface, it seems unreasonable, but in fact, Ye Wei still thinks it is very reasonable. The reason can be described in one sentence, that is, the strength of the beast is not necessarily linked to the difficulty of the task.
It’s a bit convoluted to describe, and it sounds very laborious. Why? Why are some powerful ones occasionally cursed and placed in the ordinary level, while some obviously weaker ones are placed in intermediate and upper-level tasks?
The answer is:
The curse determines the level of a mission not by the strength of the creature, but by how much of a threat the creature can pose to the executor!
To give a simple example, compare the last manor mission with the college entrance examination mission. If there are no rules restrictions, just in terms of strength and killing speed, no matter which one of the several beetles in the college entrance examination mission has absolutely tyrannical power. The strength can kill a large number of people in a short period of time. It can be said that killing people is clean and neat without any sloppiness, but in fact? The fact is that those strong and powerful men who disguised themselves as invigilators were cursed and classified as ordinary-level tasks, while the weak blood mango in the manor mission was cursed and classified as an intermediate-level and upper-level mission. The point is. It just depends on the degree of threat to the executor.
Indeed, in terms of killing speed and killing power, the invigilator is higher than the Xueji, but the threat to the executioner is lower than that of the invigilator. Why? The answer lies in rule limitations.
Rules, rules are an integral part of the mission. Once there are no rules to limit the supernatural mission, it cannot be called a supernatural mission, but a naked massacre.
The above is what Cheng Ying wants to express, not to mention that he is a professional killer with a memory far beyond ordinary people. Although it is related to his actual occupation, it is still undeniable that Cheng Ying is also good at discovering patterns from past experiences. This Although the words sounded confusing, they sounded completely different to the ears of He Fei and Ye Wei.
Unfortunately, just because He Fei and He Fei understood each other does not mean that others will follow suit. Sure enough, as soon as Cheng Ying finished speaking, Peng Hu, who had not yet recovered from the horrific scene in the video, retorted: "What? What do you mean? Ordinary level? So what if it’s the ordinary level difficulty? You’ve also seen the video, and I still can’t understand the way the Black Shadow Squid kills! It’s so, so scary!”
After saying that, he may feel that such a description is still not enough to express fear. Before Cheng Ying or others beside him could speak, he paused and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The bald man stared again and added: "You are so awesome." He actually returned the curse to him by banning the props! Isn’t it clear that he wants us to die?”
"No, disabling props does not mean that the task difficulty is increased, but a difficulty balance."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the bald man said this, Zhao Ping, who had been bowing his head in thought since watching the video preview, said something meaningful to Peng Hu before Cheng Ying could. At the same time, Peng Hu was trying to understand the man with glasses. When the meaning of the words was understood, Ye Wei nodded, and Ye Wei followed closely and expressed her personal understanding to Zhao Ping and everyone present:
"Most of you here must be aware of the difference between ordinary-level tasks and mid-level and upper-level tasks. I don't need to explain this point. Zhao Ping, I also understand what you mean. It's just that the prohibited props are related to the strength of the beast. That's true, but if you judge from the preview of the video just now... I always feel a little weird. Judging solely from the incomprehensible killing methods in the video and the internal environment of the building, I can't see clearly. The beautiful black shadow...well, as Peng Hu just said, the threat to the executor is extremely high no matter how you look at it!"
Yes, the threat level is extremely high! This is almost contrary to Curse's previous task difficulty evaluation mechanism. Doesn't it mean that those with high threat from monsters are often classified as intermediate and upper-level tasks? So why is it that this time, despite the extremely high threat level, it is still at the normal level?
Ye Wei's words were without reservation. Not only did she point out the key to Peng Hu's fear, but she also directly pointed out the most puzzling point in the minds of most senior people after watching the video. Among these puzzling people, Naturally, this also includes He Fei.
As mentioned before, although He Fei is good at analyzing and thinking, he is not an omniscient and omnipotent God after all. He is also an ordinary mortal. People will encounter problems that they cannot understand for a while, even for smart people. At this moment, after listening to Ye Wei’s analysis , He Fei thought that Ye Wei would then hand over the question to everyone for discussion, but unexpectedly the other party did not do so. Instead, he directly gave the answer after raising the question.
First, he glanced at the frowning people in the back seats. Then, Ye Wei narrowed her eyes and said, "Why does the difficulty of this mission seem to be at the normal level but the danger seems so high? Okay, The following is my personal guess, stated for everyone’s reference.”
"First of all, I can confirm that props are prohibited for this ordinary level mission. The worms hidden in the building are also very threatening to living people. On the surface, it does violate the curse's difficulty determination of the mission level. However, have you ever thought about it? Another possibility... What if, I mean what if, what if the way to survive this mission is very simple? In this case, wouldn't the difficulty of the mission meet the curse judgment again? "
Um?
Sure enough, after Ye Wei finished speaking, except for the two people in the last row, Wu Wei and Zhao Xiaomei, who were confused, the rest of the executors, even Yao Fujiang, instantly understood the meaning of the female captain's words. Ye Wei's words were correct. It's easy to understand. Unless you're a newcomer or a fool who doesn't understand anything, how could anyone present not understand what the female captain wants to express?
Everyone froze for a moment, and then suddenly realized that He Fei, who had been thinking about the above questions to no avail not long ago, suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. At the same time, he admired Ye Wei even more. He was worthy of being the most experienced person in the team, and worthy of being the leader. Team leader, Ye Wei's thinking agility is truly unparalleled. In just a few minutes, she has found the answer to a question that has eluded everyone.
"Huh? That's right! What you said, Jing Yewei, is really true. The dragon is very powerful, and the forbidden props also further increase the difficulty. But if the way to survive is very simple, then the difficulty level of this mission can be considered Balance again.”
Peng Hu, who is outspoken and has a bold personality, has never been stingy with words of praise. He immediately slapped his thigh and stood up to agree. Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, Yao Fujiang in the back row once again said an inappropriate word to lower morale:
"Even if the way out is simple, what is the way out? There seems to be no clues in the video preview..."
Although Yao Fujiang was careful when he spoke, it was undeniable that what he said was quite reasonable. Yes, so what if the way out was simple? As long as nothing is found, everything is equal to zero. This statement is like a basin of cold water poured on everyone on the spot. Peng Hu and others who had just felt a little relieved couldn't help but feel cold. Perhaps they were very dissatisfied with Yao Fujiang's inappropriate remarks. Peng Hu turned around and glared at him with a dissatisfied expression, then glanced at Cheng Ying beside him and scolded the flat-headed young man pointedly: "Idiot! Look at what you said, you kid did it on purpose. Right? Or have you learned to pour cold water on someone?"
In fact, Peng Hu really misunderstood Yao Fujiang. The flat-headed young man was not just a cold waterer, he was just outspoken. Young people say whatever they want. When they encounter problems that they cannot understand, they are often used to raising them on the spot like most of their peers. They do not understand. It was right to ask, but he ignored the time and place. Although it was undeniable that what he said above was the truth, the young man's truth was still equivalent to pouring a basin of cold water on everyone who had just ignited hope. Most people present became restless and frustrated.
Yes, the way out is indeed as simple as Ye Wei's analysis, but what's the point if you can't find it? After entering the mission, what awaits everyone is still death?
In addition, the upcoming mission prohibits all props, so you won't even have a chance to use props to save your life when encountering a wolf.
A way out, where is the way out? In my memory, there has never been a mission where I could find a way out from the video preview alone. It has been like this in the past, so how can it be an exception this time? At the same time, no one would think that the curse that wanted them to be wiped out as soon as possible would be kind enough to proactively reveal the way out in the video preview. In the past, most supernatural missions required a lot of effort and even many narrow escapes before they could be found through various clues at a great cost. A way out.
Returning to the topic, when Peng Hu showed dissatisfaction and saw the other party scolding him, Yao Fu suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up. Although the flat-headed young man closed his mouth knowingly, the impact of what he had just said was gone. It was irreversible, and the effect was really huge. Everyone was silent for a moment, and their thoughts were tangled.
For example, although the way to survive seems simple, what is the reality? The fact is that no clues can be found by looking at the video preview before entering the mission. Even Ye Wei, who was the first to suggest that the way out might be relatively simple, shook her head helplessly. Not only Ye Wei, but also after asking about it, Ye Wei told her the answer. He Fei, who had been trying to find clues from the video since then, also found nothing.
but……
After thinking about it carefully, He Fei still felt that the video just now was very strange. On the surface, the video preview was not much different from the previous mission video previews, but He Fei, who was careful, still found something special, that is, the black color was removed from the video preview. Except for the murder process of Yingji, for the first time, he did not get any valuable clues from the video preview. The only detail that he cared about was most likely the rule that he must be in a building.
(It’s very strange, why haven’t any clues been revealed? Could it be that the curse is suggesting that the way out lies in the locust? Or is it implying that the way out itself is deeply connected to the building? Or maybe the entire video preview is meaningless, and the purpose of the screening is also meaningless. Is it just to let the executor know the location of the mission and take a look at the lynx that can’t actually be seen at all?)
At this moment, Ye Wei was meditating and He Fei was thinking about it. Car No. 1 fell into silence again. As mentioned above, he ignored others. He Fei was seizing the time to think about the problem. The reason was very simple. Everyone knew that once the task was released, it would be over. Soon the hell train will drive towards the mission destination on its own, and then stop at the station. The executor will be forced to get off the car and enter the mission world. This period only lasts about 10 minutes, and this short 10 minutes is when the executor enters. The last safe time limit before the mission world.
Not only that, because he sensed that the upcoming ordinary-level mission was somewhat unusual, and out of some concern, He Fei was not as optimistic as before this time, and instead rarely tried to find out something before the hell train stopped. clue.
But unfortunately, just like creatures in the three-dimensional world can never understand how the four-dimensional world exists, He Fei always felt that he had overlooked something for this ordinary-level mission that seemed to be a simple way to survive and should be below the intermediate or upper level. And this thing that he ignored is very likely to be the key point to break the game!
At the same time, it is also the simple way to survive that Ye Wei once said!
It's a pity, it's a pity that he just can't find it!
(There are no clues from the video preview. I can only roughly understand how the invisible black shadow kills people. However, the killing method of the black shadow worm is too weird to understand, even if I only analyze the worm. The object itself has yet to find a way to deal with it.)
As he thought about it, the expressions of the college students became more complicated and entangled, and He Fei's constantly changing expressions inevitably attracted the attention of the people around him. Seeing that the young man was in a somewhat abnormal state, Zhao Ping couldn't help but glance at him as he didn't know what he was thinking. , of course, it was just a glance, and then he turned around and glanced at the back row with unobtrusive eyes, towards Yao Fujiang, and towards the two newcomers. As for Cheng Ying, Peng Hu and Ye Wei in the front row, they all Attention was focused on He Fei.
Upon seeing this, let's not talk about what Cheng Ying and Peng Hu were thinking. As the person who has been in contact with He Fei for the longest time and knows his personality best, he seems to have seen some of the thoughts in the young man's heart and seems to have noticed the purpose of the young man's thinking. After observing for a moment, Ye Wei couldn't help but asked Chuyan: "Did you find anything?"
He Fei shook his head subconsciously and said: "No, but I always feel that something is not quite right..."
Rumble…
However, just as He Fei finished speaking, and while others were thinking about how to face the mission with different ideas, the car body roared, and everyone understood what this meant. This meant that the hell train was about to stop, and that the supernatural mission was about to stop. start.
Seeing this and hearing the sudden roar, Ye Wei immediately gave up asking. He Fei immediately stopped thinking, raised his head, and looked at each other. As expected, the two of them saw uneasiness in their eyes. Even so, they knew it was a blessing. It was either a disaster or a disaster that could not be avoided. Ye Wei got up from her seat after calming down her mood a little. Then she turned back and told Wu Wei and Wu Wei in the back row in a solemn tone:
"The mission is about to begin, Wu Wei, Zhao Xiaomei, you two will obey my instructions after entering the mission."
It was obvious that although Wu Wei and Zhao Xiaomei were both timid, because Wu Wei's father had helped her back then, even though she felt uneasy, Ye Wei still did not forget to kindly remind each other.
Finally, the time reached 8 o'clock, and as the time entered the hour, the roar immediately disappeared. Then, the long-closed train door on the right side of the carriage opened automatically without any accident.
Bala!
