I admit that the Cursed Space is a strange place whose truth I may never fully understand until my death. I also admit that this space does not belong to the real world. I also admit that every supernatural mission is considered a mystery to the executor. I have been away for a while, but I never thought that one day I would face a supernatural mission that is completely and completely beyond my understanding. I don’t understand, I really don’t understand. This kind of incomprehension is not about the cursed space itself. , but...
Rather, what I was facing was a task that had no logic at all from beginning to end.
Everything is unclear, so that all the phenomena happening around me are beyond my personal understanding, or even human understanding.
………
Smart people often have strong understanding skills. Zhao Ping is a smart person, so he can understand the meaning of He Fei's words in just a moment. Similarly, how can others present not understand this?
only……
For everyone who was almost stunned, they understood, but the so-called truth was too unbelievable.
This has never happened to anyone present, not even Ye Wei.
He Fei's meaning was clear, and the reason why he could think of this or dare to think about it was not without reason. The reason came from the initial stoppage of his watch and the malfunction of his mobile phone after entering the building. There was a common thread between the two. point, that means the time is not displayed.
Everyone's watches failed at the same time. It was a collective failure. It was weird. Fortunately, on the surface, it didn't seem like a big deal. It was just that you couldn't check the time. Although this sudden change attracted He Fei's attention at first, at least it didn't let him go deeper. Thinking about it at different levels, what really attracted He Fei's attention was the subsequent failure to display the time on his mobile phone. This is very important. As mentioned above, He Fei did not think about it in detail when the watch failed at first. He was just concerned that there might be something wrong with the watch itself. It wasn't until not long ago that he discovered that even his cell phone didn't display the time, and that all the devices that could be used to check the time were malfunctioning. From that moment on, He Fei finally paid close attention to this, which made him increasingly uneasy and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.
This kind of uneasiness is hard to describe. It is different from the fear of unknown things and the fear of worms, but it comes from the worry about one's own situation.
At the beginning of his uneasiness, He Fei hoped that his guess was wrong, until he discovered that there was not a single clock in the entire hall on the first floor!
As mentioned above, not only all the equipment on the executor that can be used to check the time have failed, but there seems to be no item in the building that can be used to check the time.
Finally, after careful consideration and detailed thinking, He Fei came to a conclusion after combining it all and sorting it out in his mind. He came to a conclusion that was horrifying and even scarier than facing a worm. :
This building...
No, maybe time in the entire mission world may stand still! ! !
Ding!
"You, you...do you mean that we will be trapped in this building forever!?"
At this moment, not only the man with glasses was so shocked that he couldn't bear it, but everyone present was stunned by this unbelievable reality. This is not to blame for the executors' reaction, but because this matter was so unbelievable. Unbelievable, time stands still? is it possible? Let’s not talk about whether what He Fei said is true or false, nor what laws are violated by time standing still. If time really stands still, then...
Wouldn’t it be impossible to complete this supernatural mission, which requires survival for one night?
what does that mean?
Meaning that night will last forever and day will never come.
After all, no time has passed, so you still expect to wait until 5 o'clock in the morning?
No wonder He Fei said at the beginning that no matter which path everyone chooses, whether they take the initiative or passively avoid, everyone will still die in the end!
The reason is very simple. Once time does not pass, and the executor is restricted by the rules and cannot leave the building, then the shadow worm hidden in the building will have unlimited time. Since time is unlimited, the worm can be slaughtered leisurely. For everyone, as the saying goes, you can't escape for a while. You may be lucky enough to escape one or even two attacks, but due to the stop of time, the executor who will never be able to wait until the task time limit is reached will still be killed by the assassin in the end. die.
This is a chilling reality, an incomprehensible reality, and a terrifying reality that exceeds everyone’s expectations.
Putting aside the fact that the always murderous Chi will never let go of any living person he sees, taking a step back, even if the Chi doesn't attack the executor, just stopping time is enough to trap them to death, and they will be trapped. A group of enforcers who were restricted by the rules in the building were trapped to death or even starved to death.
Time stopped. No one knew what these four words meant. However, these four words were too easy to understand. So after understanding this, this time not only the seniors, but also Wu Wei and Zhao Xiaomei They were both so shocked that they both fell into a state of collapse and despair.
Yao Fujiang was not that strong. When he heard that time had stopped, the young man with a flat head was stunned and fell into a kind of fear that he could not extricate himself from.
"Time has stopped? This, this is impossible, stop joking, how could time stop? This violates the laws of physics... Also, since time has stopped, then we who are in the time stop area And why can we move as usual? Logically speaking, shouldn’t we be frozen with time?”
During the collapse, perhaps seeking personal comfort or trying to prove that reality should not be like this, Wu Wei, who had not said a word during the period, could not bear it anymore and immediately started to argue with He Fei, who put forward his point of view, crying.
It is undeniable that Wu Wei is indeed a newcomer and a typical rich second generation, but in any case, his academic qualifications are there, his knowledge level is not low, and the arguments he puts forward are indeed of a certain level, so when he hears the opposite A veteran named He Fei thought that this was after time stopped. Out of self-comfort, Wu Wei tried to deny this view by bringing up the laws of physics. He Fei did not choose to ignore it because he was a newcomer, but shook his head slightly. At the same time, he also asked Wu Wei: "Yes, you are right. Stopping time does seriously violate the laws of physics, and it is not a serious violation in the general sense. But please don't forget that this is not the real world. It’s a different space, a cursed space where even worms really exist, and it’s also a mission world where anything can happen. In this kind of different space that itself goes beyond scientific common sense... Do you think the laws of physics apply? Are you here?"
"As for what you said about why we can still act as usual after time stops? This is a better answer. The reason is precisely because we are the executors and the executors who must carry out the task!"
Wu Wei, who was just a newcomer and didn't know much about the cursed space, was speechless after hearing this. However, Wu Wei didn't know how to answer, but it didn't mean that others didn't have special ideas. After finally getting over the initial shock, he glanced around and was still there. Yao Fujiang, who had not recovered, glanced at Cheng Ying, Zhao Ping and Ye Wei, who had complicated expressions on both sides. As the most direct character among the seniors, Peng Hu touched his smooth and shiny head. Inexplicably, a strange question came to mind that no one present, not even He Fei and Ye Wei, had thought about. As the saying goes, if you don't understand, ask. As expected, as soon as the question popped up in his mind, the bald man immediately asked He Fei And everyone present put forward:
"Huh? By the way, brother, you just said that time in the world is stopped in this mission, right? Then I want to know where this stop of time comes from? Who did it? Could it be that the black shadow worm is responsible for all this? from?"
Not to mention, as soon as the bald man’s sudden thought and his jumping question came out, not only Ye Weishen, who was analyzing the accuracy of He Fei’s remarks, frowned, but Zhao Ping and Cheng Ying, who had similar thoughts next to them, also His expression changed, and He Fei, who had been trying to find a way out since he proposed the idea of stopping time, also trembled. Yes, even though Peng Hu's analytical thinking ability has been ridiculed by Cheng Ying, he had to admit that just now The sudden question from the bald man actually found a breakthrough for everyone who was currently in a deadlock.
The breakthrough comes from the mystery, and the mystery is the following points:
Why does time stop?
Where does time stop coming from?
Is this mission world itself in a state of time suspension? Or is it just this building that has stopped time?
How to unstop time? Is it possible to get rid of the desperate situation caused by time stopping as long as the source of time stopping is solved?
Could it be that the stop of time was really caused by the black shadow worm as Peng Hu just said?
"No, stopping time was definitely not caused by the Black Shadow!"
Suddenly, Ye Wei, who had been thinking on the spot and hadn't spoken for a long time, was the first to answer the bald man's question, and her tone was extremely certain, and she directly denied that the time stop had anything to do with the black shadow worm. As for the reason, Ye Wei's next words were the final words. Good explanation:
"I admit that worms often have supernatural abilities that are difficult for humans to understand, and their ways of existence are also quite bizarre. Even so, please don't forget that although these supernatural abilities of worms are weird, at least they still remain at the level of the rules of all things in the world. It belongs to the category of rules. Only time and space are beyond the constraints of rules, especially time. This is an area that humans can never understand and involve. In terms of Western religion, time has become an area that only demons and God can touch. This is beyond all laws of nature and physics. I don’t think that a mere worm can have the ability to time, not to mention that the black shadow worm is just a worm in an ordinary level mission, although it is not clear whether there will be more than the Li worm. Although there are terrifying locusts, I can still say with certainty that at least this supernatural mission is a real normal level difficulty, and the locusts at this difficulty level are at most severe locusts."
That's right, Ye Wei is not only knowledgeable and experienced in tasks, but also gave a reasonable explanation to everyone who was gradually becoming suspicious. After listening to Ye Wei's explanation, Peng Hu, Zhao Ping and He Fei subconsciously grew up. Taking a breath, it was obvious that Peng Hu's question just now really scared a few people. After all, the three of them are senior people. Although they are not as experienced as Ye Wei, they can still more or less vaguely feel one thing. , that is to say, humans have no ability to deal with a dragon with time capabilities! ! !
If the black shadow beetle really has the ability to time, is this thing still a beetle? I shudder just thinking about it!
Fortunately, Ye Wei denied it and explained in time, otherwise the fear alone would have been enough to scare these three guys to death.
Ye Wei had explained, and Cheng Ying, who was the most curious among the people, opened her mouth to ask questions first as expected: "Sister Ye Wei, since you said that the black shadow worm does not have the ability to time, the stop of time cannot be caused by the black shadow worm. Why, then...this..."
Although Cheng Ying had not finished what he said later, anyone with a discerning eye could easily see what this professional killer wanted to express from the expression on his face as he looked around blankly.
"curse!"
Cheng Ying asked a question. Unexpectedly, He Fei and Ye Wei answered in unison the next second. When they both answered, except He Fei and Ye Wei who could understand each other's meaning, they heard this Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, Zhao Ping, Wu Wei and Zhao Xiaomei who answered also showed expressions of understanding.
curse! It is definitely a curse. The stopping of time is definitely caused by a curse. Otherwise, how could such a terrible phenomenon as stopping time, which is completely beyond the laws of the world, happen in a mere ordinary mission? Having said that, since it is most likely caused by a curse, the truly incomprehensible question also arises:
That is, why did the curse add a time-stop setting to this supernatural mission? If this point can only be ignored because the answer can never be found, then...since it is now clear that the stoppage of time is caused by the curse, how can the executor break the stoppage of time and restore time to normal?
This kind of thinking seems a bit vague, at least newcomers will not understand it. On the contrary, veterans have some hope in their hearts after learning that the stopping of time is caused by a curse.
Why? Why do senior people have some hope after learning that the suspension of time is caused by the omnipotent master of curse?
The reason is simple, it stems from the curse itself.
Yes, the curse is indeed terrifying and mysterious, so much so that even Ye Wei, the person who has stayed in the cursed space for the longest time, only knows a drop in the bucket about the curse. Even though this is the case, senior people still clearly know the curse itself. It will never truly kill the executor. Every task and rule it issues, no matter how difficult it is, there will always be a glimmer of hope hidden in it. Although I don’t understand the purpose of the curse, at least it will not be without life. .
The truth is the same. Since the terrifying phenomenon of time stopping occurred in this supernatural mission marked as an ordinary level, and it has been found out that it was caused by a curse, and based on the law of curses, fatal missions will never be released, then naturally, senior Hope arose in the reader's heart, and then he thought that there was a way to break the time stop, which could be explained.
Everyone had indeed figured this out, but what followed was even more confusion. At this moment, with confused thoughts, they stared out the window at the moon that had not moved since they entered the mission world, and scanned the moon around the hall. In the pitch-black gloomy environment, when I thought that I would die in the building sooner or later if I didn't stop time, the uncontrollable fear inevitably swept through everyone's hearts.
Fortunately, fear is always short-lived. After calming down from the panic, some senior people in the hall began to take action and used cat-eye flashlights to observe the surroundings again. The intention was obvious. If He Fei's remarks at that time were correct, then The time-consuming avoidance strategy that Ye Wei had proposed before was the first to be rejected. The only way out was to take the initiative, take active action, and then try to break the time-stopping phenomenon as much as possible. How to break the time-stopping phenomenon? He Fei has already made personal suggestions on this point, such as... Go to the punch card machine on the 20th floor and swipe your card first.
There is no need to explain the reason. The mission information once mentioned that you can check in on the 20th floor of the building, and no matter how you look at it, this information has no connection with other mission information, right? Why does Curse specifically mention check-in in the mission information when releasing a mission? You must know that curses never do meaningless things. If this is the case, then the purpose of He Fei's proposal to go to the 20th floor to check in is also clear...
Since we can't figure out the connection between the punch card machine and the executor with a security identity, why not just follow the task prompts and go to the 20th floor to take a look. What if swiping the card means that the time stop is cracked?
That’s right, this is the real reason why He Fei suggested everyone go to the 20th floor of the building in the first place. The only regret is that this suggestion is based on no analytical basis. To put it bluntly, it’s just bad luck. I'm betting that swiping a card is the way to stop time. As for what the result will be after swiping the card...
Then only God and the curse know.
(I don’t want to bet, I really don’t want to bet anymore, especially when there is no analysis basis, I don’t want to see it, but the current situation is...)
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Wei, who was as clueless as He Fei, made the decision for everyone. First, she used a flashlight to find a staircase leading to the upper floor. Then, Ye Wei, with a complicated face, ordered everyone: " Let’s go to the 20th floor!”
After saying that, the female captain took the lead and walked towards the stairs.
And while walking, Ye Wei faced no less entanglements and uneasiness than He Fei, or even more.
(The location where the executor appeared is not inside the building, the watch is malfunctioning, the mobile phone does not display the time, the wall screen does not have any company logo, no clock that can be used to observe time has been found in the building, time itself seems to be in a stopped state, and...then The only shadow that has not appeared since the Executor entered the building!)
(What does all this mean? Was my initial analysis wrong? Is this supernatural mission not as simple as imagined? Or...we all complicate simple things?)
Da da da……
Let's get back to the topic, let's not talk about He Fei, who is thinking a lot, and everyone is following Ye Wei to the stairs. The only exception is Yao Fujiang. When everyone set off, the flat-headed young man was still in a sluggish state, or in other words, he has been in a state of sluggishness since he learned that time has stopped. He was in a state of absent-mindedness until the group of people rushed to the stairs. It was not until he heard the sound of footsteps that Yao Fujiang was finally awakened. He suddenly came back to his senses and saw that everyone except himself was rushing to the front. He was now completely at the bottom of the team. The young man was immediately frightened. Seeing this scene, Yao Fujiang, who was afraid of being left alone, ran after him without hesitation, holding up a flashlight to take pictures while chasing the large group.
However……
For some reason, it was precisely because Yao Fujiang was at the end of the team. As the distance continued to get closer, when he shined the flashlight beam on the people in front of him, he inadvertently saw a scene that was enough to make the flat-headed young man faint on the spot. The terrifying picture is displayed in the field of vision like this:
At this moment, through the light of the flashlight, he saw people walking forward with their backs to him...
Surprisingly, there is a human-shaped black shadow behind everyone! ! !
