"He Fei, do you like singing?"

"Uh... How should I put it? I can't say I don't like it. Unfortunately, my singing is average and can't be compared with other professional singers."

"So which song do you like?"

"What type are you referring to?"

"What about the lyrical type?"

"Well, I recently felt like there was a good English song called 'FlyMetotheMoon', and I can even sing it."

"I have some impression of this song. It seems to be the first human song played on the moon during the moon landing. Both the lyrics and the tone are quite romantic. By the way, it is an English song. Are you sure you can sing it? come out?"

"Hehe, my English score is pretty good after all, I can sing it no problem."

"But I prefer Hayashihara Emi's version of that song. Her cover is the best."

"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore, class is about to start, so hurry up and enter the classroom."

………

This terrifying and chilling video ended here. Ten seconds later, several lines of blood-red text appeared on the screen and appeared in everyone's field of vision:

Mission name: Midnight Ring.

Mission location: Japan.

Mission objective A selection: The executor needs to survive in the mission world for 7 days to be considered as completing the mission.

Mission goal B option: Finding a way to escape from this supernatural mission world before the mission time is up is also considered as completing the mission. Those who leave the mission world will be teleported back to the hell train by themselves.

Tip: During the mission period, the closer to the last day, the higher the frequency and intensity of the attacks will be.

Mission rules: This supernatural mission has no rules or area restrictions on the performer.

Task difficulty: Hard level.

Note: After completing the task, all survivors will receive 10 survival points.

………

After the red text stayed on the screen for about a minute, the screen went dark, and then turned completely black as before and stopped moving. At the same time, the lights in the car came back on.

but……

When the video ended and even the mission information had ended for a long time, no one in the huge carriage spoke, let alone made a sound. Even for the next period of time, everyone present was still collectively in a state of near-still sluggishness.

During the freezing period, the expressions on the executioner's face can be clearly seen. Everyone's expressions were unified, no one except them. There was no other expression at all, only fear, and the clothes soaked in cold sweat.

reason? Do you still need to explain the reason?

Difficulty level mission.

I didn’t expect that this upcoming mission would be difficult!

At the same time, this is also the first time that their team has encountered a difficult supernatural mission!

There is no reason why everyone is not afraid, no reason why they show such rare expressions of fear. Everyone knows that the difficulty of tasks can be divided into three levels: normal, upper-medium and difficult. The difficulty is sorted from low to high. Human beings have comparative thinking. Although no one has experienced difficult-level missions for a long time, veterans can still make comparisons and guesses through previous supernatural missions. Except for special-level missions that only Ye Wei has experienced and others are unfamiliar with, ordinary-level supernatural missions are Everyone has a pretty good idea of ​​what the difficulty is, and what the difficulty of intermediate and upper-level supernatural missions is. Everyone has a pretty good idea of ​​what the difficulty is.

Since this is the case, it is conceivable... In the past, ordinary and mid-level alone were enough to put the team into a situation of team destruction, so... what about the difficulty? How scary would it be to have a difficult level supernatural mission that is one level higher than the already scary intermediate and upper level missions?

No wonder a group of people were so frightened after browsing the mission information.

So after browsing the mission information this time, no one present said anything. Ye Wei, He Fei, Peng Hu, Cheng Ying and Zhao Ping all froze on the spot without exception. The senior people were silent for a long time. As for Yao Fu Jiang and Several newcomers in the back row simply trembled. Don't look at it. These people either have little mission experience or are just newcomers, or they don't know much about the concept of difficult missions. But after all, no one is an idiot. They have watched the video preview. At least they already know what they will encounter in the upcoming supernatural mission. That thing... they all know that thing and are familiar with it, but it is precisely because they are too familiar and understanding that these people know that thing. The thing is so scary, and the movie is so famous. How could people who have basically seen it in the real world not be scared or frightened?

Speaking of familiarity, for veterans who have struggled in the cursed space for a long time, in addition to fear, another question that cannot be ignored will inevitably arise in their minds:

That is, this is not only a difficult supernatural mission, but also a horror movie that has ever existed in the real world!

A classic horror movie "The Ring" made in Japan!

Yes, I believe most people will be familiar with the words "Midnight Ring". It is a high-energy supernatural movie that contains a strong atmosphere of terror and death. Everyone who has watched it will be attracted by the name of the bird in the movie. I was shocked by the female character of "Sadako". The film has been still fresh in people's memory for 20 years since its release. It can be said that it has been a shadow of many people's childhood, but...

Just why? Why did Curse choose a horror movie this time? This has never happened in the memory of all the seniors and even Ye Wei. The previous missions in the memory have never been linked to horror movies. They were all unknown missions. Unexpectedly, this time the curse directly changed the movie called The Ring. Horror movies were moved to the mission world, why is this?

Could it be...

Regardless of how complicated the thoughts of the executor were after the mission information was over, He Fei suddenly came back to his senses in the silence. He Fei stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh hard. The young man's purpose was obvious. He was using pain to stimulate himself to regain his composure, at least for a while. It seems to him that entering the mission world in such a state of panic is certain to lead to death. He needs to calm down as soon as possible. It is wise to restore calm as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, He Fei managed to regain his composure, but when he glanced at the others, he found that most of the people around him were still in a sluggish state.

(No, this won’t work!)

Wow!

Finally, He Fei couldn't sit still anymore. The thought that popped up in his mind immediately prompted him to stand up from his seat with a roar. As expected, this sudden move of the college student attracted a lot of attention. At the same time, everyone saw Most of them looked at themselves with suspicious eyes. The next moment, the young man glanced at everyone and said with a sneer: "Everyone is afraid of a ball? Is it necessary to be so afraid? Isn't it just a difficult mission? If we keep maintaining this If you have a fearful mentality, then the group will definitely be destroyed after entering the mission, so... put aside the fear and regain your self-confidence. Do you still remember the first time we performed the first intermediate-level mission? Everyone was also very scared at the time, but the result was not safe. Did you get through it?”

At this point, without waiting for others to answer or react, He Fei paused and continued: "Not only that, even if this is a real difficult-level mission, we still have no need to be afraid. The curse will never be released and there will be no solution." Have you forgotten about the mission?"

Not to mention, although He Fei's motivation in these two paragraphs was obvious, what he said was true. Yes, the young man was right. So what if it was a difficult mission? So what if the difficulty is high? Is there any supernatural mission in the past with a lower difficulty level? Haven't you all survived till now? In addition, the curse never releases unsolvable tasks, so there is no need for everyone to be so desperate.

In the end, under the influence of He Fei's words that were like a tonic, gradually, the originally frightened executors in the carriage regained their composure. Of course, calm returned to calm, calm returned to calm. In fact, even if this was the case, there were many Some seniors who have not solved the problem are still in a certain state of thinking. Leave aside Ye Wei and Zhao Ping for the time being. Cheng Ying, who is the most curious among the seniors, and Peng Hu, who is the most outspoken among them, are somewhat puzzled. , as soon as He Fei finished speaking, the two of them asked He Fei and Ye Wei, who was in deep thought in the front row, their own questions almost one after another:

"Midnight Bell, is it possible that the woman in white in the video just now is the famous female Sadako?"

"Is this the Midnight Ring? I've seen this movie before in the army, and I've watched several of it. I also know the plot roughly. If we really enter the world of the Midnight Ring, as far as I know...anyone who has watched it No one who made the videotape survived in the end, they all died without exception! It seemed like a horror movie with no solution!"

That's right, the above are what Cheng Ying and Peng Hu said almost at the same time. As Cheng Ying said, if you can't be 100% sure of the identity of the woman in white just from the video preview, then the mission information that appears later will not be 100% sure. The identity of the woman in white, the Midnight Bell, has been directly confirmed to the executor. Anyone who mentions the Midnight Bell will immediately think of Sadako.

However, precisely because of the confirmation of the identity of the female locust, in addition to the instinctive fear of Sadako, what really makes people shudder is the curse itself. Yes, a curse. Who would have thought that the curse is so powerful that it can connect to the world of horror movies? Although "The Ring" is scary, in the real world it is just a fictional horror movie. Unexpectedly, among the countless spaces controlled by the curse, there actually is a time and space with Sadako!

At this moment, He Fei couldn't help but think of the parallel space theory that he had speculated a long time ago, that is, there are countless similar worlds with different things happening in each time and space. Some things are false and non-existent in one world, but they can be false in another world. But it is real.

(The plot of "The Ring" is a real world, a real time and space, is it possible...my initial guess is true!?)

Of course, all the above are just guesses in He Fei's mind that are as close to the truth as possible. Even now, he still dares not to be 100% sure whether this guess is true. It is just a step closer to the truth. At this moment, what He Fei really cares about is After Cheng Ying finished speaking, Peng Hu followed up with another statement:

That is, there is no solution to the midnight bell.

It is a truly unsolvable horror movie!

Why no solution? As we all know, there are countless horror movies about locusts in the real world. Putting aside the domestic horror movies that are all fake locust films based on psychotic fantasies, most movies with locusts in them often have ways to crack or counteract them in the end. Absolutely. Strictly speaking, there are still some unsolvable oysters. Unsolvable means that humans have no means of confrontation or cracking when faced with spiritual tadpoles. They can only escape and struggle. After struggling to the end, they are often completely destroyed, especially It's Japan, and the oyster films produced in this country have always been famous for being irresistibly depressing, of which Midnight Bell is a typical representative.

Sadako, the female squid who turned into an evil spirit after her death due to overwhelming resentment in the movie, has incredible abilities. Let’s not talk about Sadako’s specific abilities. Simply by the fact that no one is haunted by ‘her’ at the end of every movie. Death by exception can tell how terrifying the female slug is. Indeed, as Peng Hu said, the bald man dared to directly conclude that the midnight bell was unsolvable because he had watched that movie. Then he also watched the midnight bell during school. How could He Fei, the director of a classic horror film, not know this? Everyone who watched that videotape in the film, no matter who they were, died in the end! No one survived! No one, no one can survive the attack of Sadako, a ferocious evil spirit who only kills and seeks revenge on everyone!

perhaps……

Perhaps this is the real reason why the curse knows that the executor is familiar with the plot of the movie, but still does not care about using the midnight ring as the next supernatural mission. The reason is...

What if you know the plot well? So what if you know something about that worm? In fact? In fact, you still can't fight against the worms, you can't get rid of the worms, and you will still die in the end! Precisely because you know something about worms, you will be more desperate. Psychology says that the unknown is the scariest thing. This is true. However, in some special situations, when you are in a situation where you are in a situation where you are already aware of the unknown but completely unable to do so. In a state of confrontation, this feeling is more terrifying than the unknown, even more than the unknown.

The feeling of despair was strong, and there were also many worries. However, after despair, He Fei, who changed his mind again, remembered another thing, that is, the mission information that had appeared on the screen:

Mission objective A selection: The executor needs to survive in the mission world for 7 days to be considered as completing the mission.

Mission goal B option: Finding a way to escape from this supernatural mission world before the mission time is up is also considered as completing the mission. Those who leave the mission world will be teleported back to the hell train by themselves.

(Huh? What's going on? Two ways to survive. Why does the curse promulgate two ways to complete the task? The first one is nothing special, it is just time-consuming as usual, but the second one, the executor finds a way to escape from the task. The world? Is this, is this possible? Also, what is the profound meaning of the curse specifically releasing this second choice?)

"Hey, He Fei, Ye Wei, why don't you two say anything?"

Perhaps he was surprised because his question had not been answered for a long time, or perhaps he noticed something strange in the silence shared by He Fei and Ye Wei. With question marks in mind, this time Peng Hu took the lead before Cheng Ying. Asked a question, unexpectedly, as soon as the bald man said this, before He Fei or Ye Wei could open their mouths, Zhao Ping, who had also been silent for a long time, took the lead in answering for the two of them. He turned his head and said calmly while staring at the bald man. :

"Talk? What is there to say? Is there any need to talk about this unsolvable horror film that everyone has seen and everyone knows the plot of?"

After saying this, perhaps because he felt that this sentence brought less pressure to the bald man, after raising his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, Zhao Ping immediately added three more words:

"Wait to die."

"Holy shit! What do you mean by this, Zhao? Are you saying that once we enter the mission world, we can only wait to die? Even if the woman in the movie has no solution, but... doesn't mean that in the mission there is no solution. There will be no solution, right? You need to know...you need to know..."

Sure enough, when he heard that the man with glasses said such remarks, Peng Hu, who was already panicked, suddenly became more frightened. After he and Yao Fujiang in the back row both trembled, Peng Hu immediately retorted. Unfortunately, His argument was so feeble. At the end of the sentence, under Zhao Ping's expressionless gaze, his voice became smaller and smaller. Finally, he stopped talking at all. Instead, he subconsciously turned around and glared at Yao Fujiang with frightened eyes behind him. Looking at each other, at this moment, both of them felt a strong chill from each other's expressions. It was not that Peng Hu didn't want to continue to argue with Zhao Ping, nor that Yao Fujiang didn't want to speak, but that he didn't know how to argue or what to say. , and on second thought, it seems that no matter which plot it is, there is no way to survive or fight at the end.

Waiting to die!

Do we really have to wait for death like the man with glasses said?

The answer must be no, at least for Ye Wei. As the person who has survived the longest in the entire team, and also as the team leader, in fact, after watching the video preview and mission information, apart from being slightly panicked at first, after a while the woman The captain had already begun to think about the problem, and he was still thinking about some issues in a calm state. However, unlike He Fei who immediately analyzed the original movie plot and mission information, Ye Wei's thinking direction was focused on that one Most likely it was Sadako's woman in white.

As the thought gradually deepened, unconsciously, the beautiful woman's originally slightly drooped head slightly raised.

After thinking for a long time, Peng Hu, Yao Fujiang and even the newcomers were frightened and overwhelmed by the bespectacled man's words of waiting for death. When He Fei was trying to find a breakthrough from the mission information, Cheng Ying, who was the most observant, noticed something and took a sip. He pursed his lips, then patted Ye Wei's shoulder and said in a tentative tone: "Sister Ye Wei, did you discover something?"

The keen observation ability of a professional killer gave her the answer to this guess. As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Wei slowly turned her head. Sure enough, the captain's action inevitably attracted the attention of most people. For a moment, including He Fei Inside, whether they were veterans in the front row or newcomers in the back row, everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Wei's face. It was obvious that everyone knew that the woman in front of them was not only the team leader but also a veteran with extraordinary wisdom. When they saw the other person, they turned their heads. Come, everyone also knows what she must say. After all, in this uneasy atmosphere, every move of the captain is the concern of the team members. This is also the story of leadership that is engraved deep in the souls of the Chinese people. When facing certain When a difficult situation cannot be solved, people always hope that the leader can find a way and ultimately lead everyone out of the difficult situation.

The real world is like this, and the cursed space is still like this.

Buzz buzz...

Unfortunately, those who have the above ideas may be disappointed. Ye Wei, who is a mortal like everyone in the world, neither said words of encouragement like He Fei nor said cold water words like Zhao Ping. At this moment, Listening to the roar of the train gradually rising around her, she first lowered her head to look at the time on her watch, then raised her head and glanced at the people behind her. Next, except for a slight frown on her brows, Ye Wei did not reveal her personal thoughts and just spoke in a serious tone to everyone. He ordered:

"Time is running out. The train is about to stop. Please note that we are about to face a difficult mission, so..."

Somewhat strangely, Ye Wei didn't finish what she said later, and then changed her words:

"Everyone, get ready to get out of the car."
