There was a face in the shadow, and the face looked exactly like mine.
Seeing this similar scene, the horrified man with glasses immediately turned around and ran away due to fear. However, before he could run a few steps, Zhao Ping, whose expression suddenly changed, stopped inexplicably. From then on, he stopped like this. He stood motionless.
As mentioned above, the moment he saw the face, Zhao Ping, who realized that he still had not escaped from the shadow man, did choose to run away immediately, but now he stopped running and stood there for a long time without reacting.
The reason is that he just remembered something, a question.
That is……
(Why? Why am I still alive now?)
This is a very critical and vital issue, and it is also the main reason that prompted Zhao Ping to have the courage to stop. If you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case. As a senior person, Zhao Ping cannot be ignorant of Haowu's consistent style. They are all murderous, as if killing is the only meaning of their existence. Once they encounter a living person, although their abilities are different, their murderous and cruel nature will still make them kill the living people as quickly as possible. Everyone was slaughtered. This was the case for all the paranormal missions so far. There had never been any exceptions.
In this case, something incomprehensible happened...
Or it can be understood that this time an exception happened!
He, Zhao Ping, first discovered those human-shaped shadows in the lobby on the first floor, and not long ago found a shadow that looked exactly like him standing behind him in front of the floor-length mirror. At this moment, a shadow that still looked like him appeared in his shadow. Faces with the same appearance, three times. If the time stop is not included, he has encountered the shadow man three times during this period, and the shadow man is still dragged behind him. It stands to reason that the distance is so close. It is said that he was killed by the hawk a long time ago, but why is he still alive?
Just like this moment, the terrifying face that is obviously a wolf is currently existing in his own shadow, and Zhao Ping cannot escape because it is his own shadow. There is no doubt that in this situation, it is absolutely impossible to escape. , I can kill him in an instant if I am willing.
The reality is...
The face that looked the same as his was indeed hidden in his shadow in some incomprehensible form, but that face didn't do anything, neither killed him nor did anything else, it just stared at him?
He is not dead, he is still alive.
Thinking of this, although the fear in Zhao Ping's heart weakened a little, a large number of incomprehensible thoughts inevitably filled his mind. He looked back at the shadow behind him again. In his field of vision, he saw the 'Zhao Ping face' that was the same as his own. Still making no move, still looking at him with that weird smile.
(What's going on? I wasn't killed. Why is this happening? Is it because of the mood of the shadow beetle? Or is it not the right time? Or... is it that the shadow beetle is restricted by some rules that prevent it from taking action?)
That's right, the above are the first few speculations that came to Zhao Ping's mind. Zhao Ping never thought that he was not afraid of death and he never thought that he was a good person. His purpose was very simple, he just wanted to live. In order to live, He can do anything, no matter whether it is good or bad, as long as it is beneficial to him, he will do it without any psychological burden. Even if it is murder and arson, he still thinks it is natural, but because of this, all of this Everything just proves that he is a person who is very afraid of death.
People who are afraid of death will give priority to their own safety when encountering danger. The most direct reaction is to run away. However, when he found that running away was pointless, the man with glasses who was scared to death not long ago became much calmer. Apart from being calm, he also A key question came to mind, a puzzle that was inevitably associated with him because he was not dead for the time being.
Due to the rich mission experience of a veteran, Zhao Ping immediately thought of several guesses. Although there were many guesses, Zhao Ping personally preferred the last one.
Rules limit!
Rules, every supernatural mission often has more or less rule restrictions. Let’s not talk about the obvious restrictions on the executor by the rules in the supernatural mission. In fact, the rules also restrict things to a certain extent. It is true that the rules have great influence on the executor. Information on restricted missions is rarely mentioned, but I believe that anyone who has survived several supernatural missions can still clearly notice this. In many cases, the dragons in the missions are more or less subject to certain restrictions, and this restriction is indispensable. , once there are no restrictions, it will be difficult for the executors in the task world to survive. This is inconsistent with the law that curses will never release unsolvable tasks.
In this case, although Zhao Ping, whose mind is currently in a mess, can't figure out why Shadow Man didn't kill him, he still found the key factor why he is still alive.
That is the rule restriction. Perhaps this terrible squid that can only hide in the shadow of humans is not that it does not want to kill immediately, but it is very likely that it will be temporarily unable to take action under certain rule restrictions. Otherwise, the shadow squid is completely beyond human expectations. With its strange ability, once this thing starts killing people, it will be impossible to prevent it. Not to mention myself, all the people in the building will have been slaughtered long ago.
The truth is almost like this. If the above guess is correct, it will be followed by fear, uneasiness, and uncontrollable worry...
What are you worried about?
There is only one answer, that is, how long can that mysterious rule restrict the shadow worm? How long can it be restricted? When will the shadow beetle attack him? Take action against the executors in the building?
It is obvious that Zhao Ping has a strong understanding. Based on his past mission experience, the time limit for missions is often very short. Although the specific time is unknown, it will never last too long. Sooner or later, the rule restrictions will disappear, so then That is to say, when the mysterious rule that restricts the shadow squid and makes it temporarily unable to kill disappears, it will be the time when everyone dies! ! !
what does that mean?
This means that unless the executor can find a way out before the rules restricting the shadow squid disappear, not only Zhao Ping will die, but everyone will die, and no one will be able to survive.
And this time, death is no longer the danger of death in the previous sense, but death in the real sense! ! !
Why must you die?
the reason is simple……
It has something to do with the ability of the black shadow mango.
Usually when encountering danger, the executor can choose to escape or evade. Even if he cannot escape, he can use props to save his life. Although he narrowly escapes death, there is at least some hope of survival. Unfortunately, this time is different. It is completely different. In addition to disabling all props, this mission also hides The shadow worms in the building have a terrifying ability that humans can never escape from. Shadows and shadow worms can blend into human shadows, and death also exists precisely in the shadows of the executors!
Let me ask, if there is sufficient light, who in this world, whether human or other living things, can get rid of their own shadow! ?
