After hesitating for a long time, He Fei finally made a decision. Not only him, but Ye Wei, who was also hesitant like He Fei, also knew that this had to be done, so she did not stop He Fei or the young man from sticking the magnetic card to the machine, turning When He Fei swiped his card, he issued a warning to everyone:
"Everyone, stay alert!"
With rich experience, the female captain was more aware of the sudden and dangerous nature of the mission than the three people around her. When He Fei swiped his card, she issued a warning, and everyone who received the warning quickly broke away from their thinking state and went on alert. , except for He Fei who was swiping his card, Ye Wei, Peng Hu, and Cheng Ying all looked nervous, and their eyes collectively turned to the front, to He Fei, and to the black magnetic card in the young man's hand.
One second later, the magnetic card was directly attached to the card slot of the punch card machine.
drop!
The result was predictable. The moment the magnetic card was attached to the card slot of the machine, the red light above the clock-in machine flashed immediately, and at the same time a crisp electronic sound sounded. This was the same as the reaction of the machine after the middle-aged security guard swiped the card in the original video preview, clocking in Finish.
This not only means that the check-in was successful, but also that the experiment first proposed by He Fei was completed.
In the field of vision, the red light flashed and disappeared instantly, and the electronic sound also appeared and stopped. This scene was very ordinary. If there were outsiders present at this scene, I believe they would only see a young man wearing a security uniform on patrol. Just checking in, everything is so normal, everything is so ordinary, although the scene is ordinary, for He Fei, Ye Wei, Peng Hu and Cheng Ying after punching in, it is precisely at this moment. , everyone’s hearts suddenly lifted.
The reason is not complicated, because everyone present knows that clocking in is a tentative move carried out without much analysis, and the purpose is to try to break the time stop. In other words, the act of clocking in is completely risky, and no one knows that clocking in is a risky move. No one knows what will happen after punching in. No one knows whether time will stop after punching in. No one knows whether punching in will bring about other unknown consequences.
What will be the result?
What is it?
What's the end result?
At this moment, under the light, the huge corridor was silent, and the empty environment was dull and depressing. Looking at the black machine that had just sounded in front of him, He Fei's face was solemn, Ye Wei was breathing rapidly, Cheng Ying glanced around with vigilant eyes from time to time, Peng Hu At this moment, the four people had different reactions, but it was undeniable that everyone was nervous inside. Complex emotions such as expectation, uneasiness, and vigilance emerged after successfully checking in. In the minds of several people, it seemed that even the already depressing corridor was infected by this atmosphere, making it even more depressing and weirder.
Fortunately, this atmosphere did not last long, and the complicated mood of everyone did not last either, because... just as the four anxiously waiting people became increasingly frustrated, suddenly, a cold and emotionless voice spoke. This suddenly appeared in the minds of several people in an unexpected way. No, to be precise, it should have appeared in the minds of all the executors in the building:
"The executor has finished clocking in, and time returns to normal."
The voice was very cold, but also unparalleledly clear. Let’s not talk about how abrupt the voice was when it appeared, nor how cold it was when the voice was narrating. After hearing the words clearly, no matter it was He Fei or Ye Wei, everyone’s original complex expression The uneasy faces first condensed together, and in an instant, the expressions of the four people instantly turned into joy!
It...succeeded! ! !
Swiping your card in front of the clock card machine actually makes time stop!
Once the time stop is cracked and time returns to normal, it will undoubtedly mean that everyone no longer has to be trapped and die here. They only need to stay in the building until 5 o'clock in the morning according to the original mission requirements to return to the cursed space!
Finally, this supernatural mission is finally back on track. This supernatural mission that was originally not in line with the ordinary level difficulty has finally been transformed into a regular ordinary level mission.
No one would not understand the above concept, especially for the four people present who were all seniors. Not only that, when the cold words appeared, the four people standing in front of the time card machine immediately noticed a change. A sudden scene change:
As the cold voice issued the notification, just above the clock card machine, an item appeared on the originally empty wall in the blink of an eye...
It was a hanging clock. The appearance of the clock was very ordinary. It was just a black clock with neither pattern nor frame decoration. At this moment, this old-fashioned winding clock was hanging on the wall, right above the time card machine. , inside the clock, the second hand is turning neither fast nor slow, and the minute hand and hour hand are both at 10 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Tick tock...tick tock...tick tock...
This old-fashioned clock that appeared out of nowhere is currently running normally. Although the sound of the second hand turning is faint, it is still very clear in this silent environment.
Yes, although I can’t figure out where this old-fashioned clock that appeared almost at the same time as the cold words came from, it is undeniable that the appearance of this clock undoubtedly confirms in the most direct way that time has been restored and has returned to normal. elapsed state.
(Success, I guessed it right!)
Seeing this, He Fei was excited and his nerves, which had been tense for a long time, immediately relaxed. Ye Wei and Cheng Ying, who had similar reactions, also took a long breath. As for Peng Hu, who had been in trouble for a long time next to him, he was staring at it. After looking at the clock for a few seconds, he suddenly burst into laughter. While laughing roughly, he reached out to pat He Fei on the shoulder and praised: "Brother, you can do it. I didn't expect that your card would be decrypted when the time stopped when you swiped it? Hahaha." !”
Maybe he felt that he couldn't express his joy by just praising the other person. After taking the picture of the young man, the bald man turned around and raised his hand and pointed at the clock in front of him and continued to say to everyone: "Is the curse really unnecessary? In order to prove that time has been restored, he did it deliberately Bring out a clock to show us the time, forget it, time has indeed been restored anyway, now it’s good, time is back to normal, and we don’t have to worry about being trapped and dying..."
However, the next moment, Peng Hu's words stopped abruptly, and there was no continuation of the following words. Not only that, in addition to Peng Hu inexplicably stopping speaking, his face that was originally full of joy also froze in an instant, and even his whole person froze on the spot.
The reaction of the bald man was not surprising, but in fact, not only him, but also the people present, whether it was He Fei, Ye Wei or Cheng Ying, all three of them were stunned on the spot almost at the same time like Peng Hu, because...
Just now, before Peng Hu, who was pointing his finger at the clock in a complacent manner, could finish his words, the cold voice that appeared in everyone's minds a few seconds ago and informed everyone that time had been restored... appeared again, echoing in the minds of all the executors again. , just like last time, the cold and emotionless voice still only said a short sentence:
"Time returns to normal, and the restrictions on worms are lifted!"
Silence, complete silence, even so quiet that one could faintly hear breathing. For a moment, in this brightly lit corridor on the 20th floor, except for the clock that kept ticking on the wall in front of them, the four executors He was stunned on the spot like a statue.
Tick tock...tick tock...tick tock...
The clock in front of us is still turning neither fast nor slow. However, at this time, the pleasant sound of the second hand turning that just brought joy to a few people has now changed in ears. It no longer represents joy, but represents death, and it actually sounds like death. Awesome death countdown!
If that was all, what really made the four people present feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar and made their hair stand on end was the terrifying change that followed after the sound disappeared!
Since the four people were standing in a fan-shaped position around the clock and the time card machine, it was natural that most people could see the direction behind the person opposite them at a glance. After coming back to his senses, the next moment, He Fei saw...
Ye Wei and Cheng Ying were standing diagonally across from him. Behind them, on the ground, there was a shadow that appeared naturally due to the light...
Each one has a head popping up! ! !
To be precise, it should be a head with only the outline of a skull, because the head that popped up suddenly is black. Although it has hair and facial features, the whole head is as dark as the shadow on the ground. However, what is even more incredible is Yes...the two black heads emerging from the shadows of Ye Wei and Cheng Ying looked familiar anyway. If you look closely, you can see that their facial features are the same as the two of them, or even exactly the same!
The black heads rose one after another from the shadows of the two people. Gradually, the black body under the head also emerged little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye. It continued to rise little by little, and just like this slowly emerged from the shadow and slowly bulged out. , rising higher and higher...
As the shadow man gradually ascended, He Fei's eyes opened wider and wider. The young man forgot to speak for a moment, and just stared at this scene with his eyes wide open, witnessing a horrifying scene that he had never seen before.
At this moment, under the gaze of He Fei's eyes that had already widened to the extreme, two humanoid shadows appeared, completely covered in pitch black but with the same appearance, body shape and even clothes as Ye Wei and Cheng Ying. The figures of the two men appeared directly in the shadows.
This scene was so sudden, this scene was so terrifying, and this scene was so unexpected that even He Fei, who had been practicing for a long time and had a calmness far beyond ordinary people, was frozen on the spot for a moment.
Similarly, when He Fei saw the scene behind Ye Wei and Ye Wei, why didn't Ye Wei and Ye Wei, who were standing diagonally opposite He Fei and Peng Hu, see a similar scene? That's right, just when He Fei and Peng Hu both noticed something unusual behind Ye Wei, Ye Wei and Cheng Ying's expressions changed suddenly at almost the same time. They also saw something unusual behind He Fei and saw something in their field of vision. In the shadows of He Fei and Peng Hu, two human-shaped black figures with the same appearance slowly appeared.
In other words, without exception, black figures emerged from the shadows behind everyone present, and black figures that looked exactly like everyone else appeared!
