Surprise, really surprise. This is the first time He Feida has seen Zhao Ping look like this since he met him. In his personal impression and memory, this person has never looked like this before.
Both confusion and suspicion arose. Subconsciously, He Fei did not return to the room immediately. He hesitated for a few seconds before asking the other party in a tentative tone: "Zhao Ping, what's wrong with you?"
"Forehead……"
After being called out by He Fei, Zhao Ping, who had been motionless, came to his senses as if he had woken up from a dream. He heard the young man's words clearly, but he did not tell the other party the reason. Instead, he shook his head slightly as soon as he came back to his senses. Said: "Nothing."
After saying these three short words, the bespectacled man quietly turned around under He Fei's gaze and returned to his personal room without saying a word.
In the end, only He Fei was left in the carriage.
"Um?"
After all, He Fei was not an omniscient and omnipotent God. When he saw the man with glasses silently returning to his room, although he was a little concerned about his actions, he could only smile bitterly and turn around to leave as he could not guess his intentions.
………
squeak.
Da da da……
Time passed slowly. After about half an hour, the long silence of Car No. 3 was broken again by the sound of a door opening, followed by a series of chaotic footsteps. At this moment, watching the four people in front of me coming from Ye Wei's room The newcomer, who had been shaking non-stop since he came out, showed no contempt or encouragement. Peng Hu, who was used to seeing such scenes, didn't care about the newcomer's fearful look. He just pointed at the doors on both sides of the carriage and introduced them to a few people. He said: "Have you seen it? Just like the captain's room, the gray and white doors on both sides are all unoccupied rooms. You can just choose one each. Are there any problems? I will leave if there is nothing to do."
Having said that, it's a pity that the few people in front of him didn't seem to listen to what he said. It wasn't that these people didn't listen, but that they were in fear... No, it should be said that several people had already fallen into a collective trap under certain emotions. In a state of despair and falling into a trance, Guo Zhenyu and the fat man Wang Kun next to him were both sweating profusely. Meng Xiangxu, who had always had a lot of problems before, had no problems at all. Now he didn't fart and just used his trembling hands. He took out his handkerchief and kept wiping the seemingly endless sweat on his forehead. As for the woman named Qian Xueling, she neither sweated nor trembled. She just stood there with a dull expression and did not move for a long time, as if Frightened.
(Damn, it seems these people were quite frightened...)
Yes, as usual, Ye Wei, who was the team leader when the four of them were in the room, had already told them everything about the cursed space, the hell train, the supernatural mission and other executors that they should know. The results can be imagined. , after learning the truth, the four of them were frightened half to death on the spot, and the reason why they were afraid did not come from the cursed space or the hell train. What really caused these people to be frightened was the supernatural mission. , the man in the mission!
螞? This thing that has only existed in legends and rumors in the real world and has never been seen by anyone... actually exists in this place called the Cursed Space!
Not only does it exist, but in the mission world, it is completely murderous and cruel, and will never stop until the living people are killed. What does this mean? Putting aside the authenticity, if weeds really exist, doesn’t it mean that people like them don’t actually live long? Doesn't it mean that once you enter the supernatural mission mentioned by Ye Wei, you will be killed sooner or later?
die!
The fear of death is the instinct of all living things in the world, and it is also the instinct of human beings. In the real world, except for some people who are terminally ill, there must be no one who is not afraid of death. To say the least, even those who are terminally ill and look down upon death, strictly speaking Let's talk about it. Deep down in their hearts, these people still don't want to die. They still hope to cure their diseases and still want to live. Who in this world would want to die? Who is not afraid of death?
Based on this point, after Ye Wei told the four people the truth that existed whether they believed it or not, the newcomers collapsed. A series of negative emotions such as fear, uneasiness, fear and despair swept through several people, leading to Their bodies were weak and their steps were sluggish. If Peng Hu hadn't forced them to leave in the end, at least half of them would not have had the strength to get up from the sofa.
Closer to home, Ye Wei expected this reaction from the newcomer, but why not Peng Hu expected it? However, unlike the female captain who would take into account the mood of others, Peng Hu, who has always been tolerant, did not have the time to care about the newcomers' feelings. After informing the newcomers about the room matters as a routine, he did not care about anything else, and he was a little tired. The bald man walked straight to his personal room, but before he could take a few steps, a timid but pleasant female voice behind him stopped him:
"Wait a minute, Peng... Well, seeing as you are older than me, is it okay if I call you Brother Peng?"
The bald man did not expect that the beautiful woman would call him out. If he could treat men, especially those he disliked, with ferocity and fists, then Peng Hu was quite kind to women. , stopped and turned around, looking at Qian Xueling. The bald man did not show any ferocity or impatience. He nodded and replied: "Okay, the name is just a title, you can call him whatever you want."
Nodding his head, Peng Hu said nothing more, because he knew that the other party would definitely have something to say when he called him. As expected, perhaps because he noticed that the other party had a good attitude toward him, Qian Xueling pursed her lips, as if hesitating. , and after a moment he still opened his mouth and said: "Although Captain Ye told us all the truth in the room just now, I still have a question. Since the supernatural mission is so dangerous, and since all the monsters in the mission have great supernatural powers, then... you guys How do people survive?”
yes? Since the female captain who is prettier than herself once said that supernatural missions are scary and dangerous, how do these people who have been on the train for a long time survive until now?
Not to mention, although Qian Xueling was as frightened as the other three guys, the question asked by the woman was quite good, and she asked the key point at once. Faced with this question, although Peng Hu knew The reason was that I didn’t know how to answer for a while. It was undeniable that his eloquence was good, but he was still a little inferior to people like He Fei or Ye Wei. He was slightly stunned and silent for a long time. After taking a long breath, the bald man didn’t know what to say. How should I describe it? In the awkward atmosphere, he made a simple yet inexplicable action:
He raised his finger and pointed at his chest, then at his smooth and reflective head, grinned, and immediately replied: "Physical strength, luck, and brain, just add the three together. It doesn't matter if you still don't understand, girl." , when you have nothing to do, you can ask other senior people, you can ask anyone, those guys are all very smart and eloquent, I can't compare, but don't ask for that guy named Yao Fujiang, haha .”
After saying these puzzling words, Peng Hu said no more, shrugged and strode back to his personal room.
The departure of the bald man left only four newcomers in Car No. 3. It was only at this moment that the three male newcomers who were shaking non-stop came to their senses. Maybe they were a little hungry or maybe they were fat. Da, turned around and glanced at the door of the captain's room. The restaurant owner Wang Kun did not continue to shake off his fat body. Instead, he took a few glances at the other three people around him who didn't know each other but were now the same unlucky ones. After making a move and touching his round belly, the fat man actually raised his hand and pointed at the gray-white doors on both sides and said this first:
"Um, um, in the room before, did the female captain once say that the executor could take out any food he imagined in the refrigerator in the room, right?"
"Damn it! It's already this time, you...you..."
Meng Xiangxu never thought in his wildest dreams that the fat man named Wang Kun would say such things. He was almost dead, but this damn fat man was still concerned about food? Seeing this, Meng Xiangxu, who pointed at Gao Kun "you" for a long time without saying any follow-up words, finally gave up and focused his attention on Guo Zhenyu and Qian Xueling.
Obviously, he always thinks a lot and plans to discuss with a few unlucky guys like him around him whether all this is true. After all, although his earlier experience seems very real, deep down in his heart, he still hopes that this will happen. Everything is fake, a prank. Who would have thought that just as he turned his attention to the other two people, Guo Zhenyu lowered his head as if accepting his fate and muttered to himself: "Fate, this is fate, everything is fate." Oh, God, what did I, Guo Zhenyu, do wrong? Why did you make such a big joke on me? Why did you throw me into this kind of place... The female captain was right, I can't go back... …No one can go back…”
Not only that, while he was talking to himself, the middle-aged man who seemed resigned to his fate walked straight to a door on the right without paying attention to anyone. He first held the door handle according to the senior person's instructions, and waited until the door turned into After it turned white, the next moment, Guo Zhenyu slowly walked into the room with his head downcast.
"Eh? You've really changed your color!"
Seeing someone taking the lead, Wang Kun, who had not eaten for almost a whole day, also did not hesitate. While surprised by the change in the door, Wang Kun followed closely and opened another door and walked in.
"This...is this him, his two lunatics!"
Sure enough, after Guo Zhenyu and Wang Kun left, and with complicated thoughts, Meng Xiangyu finally couldn't help but cursed. But the curse came true. In fact, when he witnessed the magical change of the door, Meng Xiangxu already knew that this place was most likely not reality. After all, which subway car in reality can have so many rooms? Which train doesn't have a cockpit? And here? Not normal, nothing is normal! There is no cockpit, no driver, and there are many incomprehensible things. Even the entire train is driving automatically. Here... no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like what the real world should be like. Is it possible... Is it possible that it is here? It's really like what the female captain said, it's a different space that's separated from reality! ?
A place of death that once you enter, you never want to leave!
"No, no, it's not true, I shouldn't be here, I... my family, my house, my car, my job, my savings in the bank... no, I shouldn't lose These things..."
Just like that, under the intensifying excitement, the more Meng Xiangxu thought about it, the sadder he became. He did not pay attention to food immediately like Wang Kun, nor did he accept his fate on the spot like Guo Zhenyu. Instead, he reacted with a kind of unwillingness. The ground became painful. At this moment, Meng Xiangxu, who was extremely nostalgic for the real world, did not have much fear of the beasts in his heart. Instead, he focused all his attention on his property. After all, he lived a very comfortable life in the real world. He He has an enviable job and enviable material wealth, but now he gives up like this and has nothing in such an instant. He is not willing to accept it. He is not willing to accept it!
"Miss Qian, tell me, tell me that none of this is true, tell me, tell me!"
Suddenly, Meng Xiangxu, who was a little out of control, grabbed the shoulder of Qian Xueling beside him, and then stared at him while questioning him nervously.
Listening to Meng Xiangxu's continuous questioning and feeling that the other party was unwilling to despair, how could Qian Xueling be able to answer? Who doesn’t have family in the real world? Who has no nostalgia for the real world? For a moment, facing Meng Xiangxu's questioning that was obviously escaping reality, the beautiful woman could only shake her head helplessly. Gradually, some tears welled up in the corners of the woman's eyes, and she began to answer Meng Xiangxu's questions in a way that seemed to be like answering. He seemed to be talking to himself as if he was talking to himself:
"No, I don't know... I don't know, and I hope this isn't true..."
(Reality, farewell...)
………
late at night.
No senior person cares about how the newcomers are doing tonight, and no one cares about whether the newcomers can accept this cruel reality. When the time enters late at night, staring at the clock on the wall, staring at the metal pointer that is about to rotate to midnight, On the bed, Ye Wei was not sleepy, so she lifted the quilt and got out of bed slowly.
Da da da……
Snap.
She turned on the light. Without saying a word, she just walked from the bedroom to the living room in an aimless state. This was her room. The decoration, furniture, items, etc. were all arranged by her. Speaking of others, You may not believe it, but Ye Wei is already used to this place, used to living in this cursed space that others think is comparable to hell. She is not mentally ill. It's not that she doesn't want to leave, but... she can't leave, there's no way to leave, often. It is said that people have strong adaptability, and Ye Wei is like this. Therefore, with the mentality that since she can't escape, she can only accept the situation, she slowly learned to adapt in the following days.
Gradually she put aside the fear she had when she first entered the cursed space, gradually forgot everything about her in the real world, and gradually focused her life goals solely on survival, on the 200 survival points that seemed to never be enough. , in order to survive, she gained a lot. As the supernatural missions continued one after another, she learned a lot and understood a lot. She recognized what a creature is, or what human nature is. Gradually, With extraordinary wisdom, she learned to be selfish, cruel, betray her teammates, put interests first, and do whatever it takes to stay alive, but...
While gaining all this, she inevitably lost a lot. She became increasingly cold, cruel, ruthless, and selfish. In order to survive, she even killed many executioners who had the same illness. Sometimes she was very thoughtful. She was also afraid, afraid of what she would become in the end...
until……
Until that person appeared in the cursed space and appeared in front of her.
That person is very strange. He is obviously just an ordinary person without much ability, but he is very stubborn and always adheres to his life values. Not only that, while he adheres to his life views, the other person has also been subtly influencing other people. However, he also It was precisely because of this person's persistence that a faint light appeared in the originally cold and cruel cursed space, a glimmer of hope that even affected her, Ye Wei.
In the end, she was gradually attracted to that person...
Staring at this personal room where she was the only one, staring at the cursed space where she had been staying for a long time, Ye Wei turned around and returned to the bedroom in the living room. After returning to the bedroom, she did not go to bed, but sat on the bedside to dress up. In front of the stage, sitting in front of the mirror she usually used to dress up.
At this moment, looking at the peerless face in the mirror that was still extremely beautiful even without makeup, the woman was stunned for a long time. She didn't speak or move for a long time. It wasn't until the time entered zero that she slowly lowered her head as if she had thought of something. , turned her gaze to her left hand, staring at the sapphire ring on her ring finger, and looking at the captain's exclusive ring that she had never won since she passed the assessment and became the team captain.
The ring is very beautiful, really very beautiful. There is a dazzling sapphire in the center of the silver-white ring that looks like a green dragon. The gemstone is transparent and reflective. If you look closely, you can see through the gemstone that there is a certain number inside, a looming figure. Arabic numeral 7.
………
At the same time, in another bedroom that was simply decorated and looked like a men's room, He Fei was lying on his side on the bed and soundly asleep.
Yes, he knows what will happen early tomorrow morning, so he sleeps so deeply. This is the biggest difference between seniors and newcomers. Faced with the upcoming life and death crisis, newcomer executors will be as frightened as ordinary people, and will be as nervous as ordinary people. Most people have trouble falling asleep, but senior people are different. Although senior people are afraid of locusts, their mentality is often calm and peaceful. It’s not that senior people are fearless, but senior people know that there are some things that even if they are afraid, it is useless. What is coming will come after all. To come, the only thing they have to do is to recharge their batteries before things happen, and then try their best to change.
Just as He Fei once said, everything depends on man-made things, and my fate is up to me and not God!
However, at this moment, not knowing whether it was reality or a dream, or whether it existed or not, in a trance, in this state of being like a dream, not a dream, not awake, but not awake, a familiar voice came faintly to He Fei's ears on the bed. Unclear murmured words:
"If possible, I hope to accompany you until the end..."
