Cheng Ying, who was beside He Feitong who took the book, both lowered their heads and looked at the book. The first thing that caught their eyes were the words "Hotel Staff Service Manual", and a bust photo of a famous man was printed at the bottom of the cover. A man in a suit and leather tie with a hairy head. In the picture, the man is sitting on a boss's chair with a desk in front of him. The man leans forward slightly on the table and supports his chin with both hands. To be honest, this kind of hair Although the matching clothes are a bit nondescript, overall he still has the temperament of a boss. Of course, this is not the point. As the eyes are further focused, and the eyes are fixed on the man's face, or in other words, the two of them can clearly see the appearance of the boss. Then, the next moment, He Fei's instinct froze, and Cheng Ying's instinct froze.
After being stunned for a few seconds, the two turned to look at each other as if they had agreed, and then said in unison:
"It's actually him!?"
Yes, at this moment, the cover character displayed in their field of vision is none other than the male protagonist played by Lei Yuyang in the original movie "Yin Yang Road" series...
Bi Peter!
………
Time passed quietly, and the bright moon gradually disappeared.
When He Fei and Cheng Ying returned to their respective rooms, the sky outside the window had turned white. The two of them were also very sleepy, and everyone had experienced a thrilling night. First, they were chased by a swarm of hawks on the road, and then they had a fight in the hotel. The investigation, and all the other factors combined made all the executors depressed and exhausted, especially He Fei, who fell asleep on the spot as soon as he saw the bed.
Even He Fei himself didn't know how long he slept during this sleep, and he was finally woken up by someone.
"Hey, He Fei, wake up, wake up!"
A soft voice sounded next to his ears one after another. After a while, He Fei slowly opened his eyes. First he was dazed on the bed for a few seconds, then he suddenly sat up and looked to his side.
When he finally woke up and his vision became completely clear, he saw Qian Xueling beside the bed.
(Um?)
Realizing that it was Qian Xueling who woke her up, she rubbed her eyes first, and then looked at the time on her watch. But it was better not to look at it. When she looked at it, she realized that the time had already reached noon, and secretly cursed herself for sleeping too much. , shook his head, and He Fei asked Qian Xueling: "Eh? Sister Xueling, why did you appear in my room?"
Facing the young man's inquiry, Qian Xueling smiled and replied: "Isn't it already lunch time? Everyone went to the hall on the first floor to eat, but you were the only one who slept soundly, so you asked me to come and call you for the big job." Go downstairs for dinner.”
Since He Fei always insists on sleeping with his clothes on in the mission world, it is not embarrassing even if Qian Xueling is next to the bed. Sure enough, after confirming that everyone is fine, and it is almost noon, He Fei has already got off the bed without any urging from the other party. After putting on shoes and washing up, she and Qian Xueling rushed downstairs.
It is undeniable that this hotel called Tsim Sha Tsui is indeed larger, but the floors are not high, with only 9 floors in total. However, even if there are only 9 floors, there is still an elevator. Of course, for the executive, whether there is an elevator or not is meaningless. During the supernatural mission, no one took the initiative to take the elevator. The reason is self-evident, and this is also the main factor why most of the performers will not choose high-rise buildings as long as they stay in the hotel.
………
Their steps were up and down, and they walked around. After passing several stairs, He Fei and Qian Xueling soon arrived at the hotel restaurant. When they arrived on the first floor, He Fei found that the business of this Tsim Sha Tsui hotel was indeed good. It was deserted in the middle of the night, but once they arrived, The number of guests who come to dine here during the day is okay, and if you think about it carefully, it is right. After all, Mong Kok is one of the densely populated urban areas in Hong Kong. However, the only thing that makes He Fei a little confused is that after looking around and observing for a long time, it is so huge. There was no executor in the restaurant, and in the end, Qian Xueling led him into a private room.
After pushing the door open and looking up, he found that all the other seven executors in the private room were gathered here.
The central dining table is filled with sumptuous dishes, which can be said to be the ultimate in luxury. In fact, it is true. The executor lacks everything except money. Luxury is luxury in a supernatural mission where danger surrounds you all day long. God knows if you will be extravagant today or tomorrow. Will he still be alive?
Seeing He Fei's arrival, Peng Hu, who was smoking a cigarette from the corner of his mouth, hurriedly waved to him and said, "You've slept so hard, I'm almost starving to death, you know? Hurry up, you're the only one missing! I'll give you the position too." You keep it!"
In the end, He Fei was forced to sit at the head of the dining table by Peng Hu. It was only then that everyone started to eat. After all, everyone had barely eaten since last night. Although He Fei woke up the latest, in fact, others were not earlier than the young man. How long did it take to get up, and how late did it go to bed? Strictly speaking, this meal was the first meal the executor had after entering the supernatural mission.
As mentioned above, because everyone was hungry, no one spoke during the meal, until all the food on the table was wiped out, until there was enough food in the stomach to feel full and full, Xu Shi saw that it was almost time, He Fei's right side, Zhao Ping first picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth with great grace. After showing his unique white-collar temperament, the man shifted his gaze and broke the silence first, then said something to He Fei beside him that seemed neither salty nor bland. Meaningful words: "Tell me, I think you should know what to say."
Zhao Ping's words really attracted the attention of the others. Yes, what they had experienced since last night was complicated. Especially what happened on that suburban road made everyone fearful. At this moment, listening to Zhao Ping's inquiry, Feeling the gazes around him, He Fei put down his chopsticks. He did not speak immediately. He pondered for a while, and finally touched his chin and nodded and said, "Okay, let me first talk about what happened at the cliff last night."
As expected, when the cliff on the highway was mentioned last night, everyone was very interested. After all, the final scene of He Fei walking on the cliff and disappearing from the cliff was too shocking. Even now, they can't understand how He Fei did it in the first place and how He Fei did it now. Fei was about to explain, and everyone was alert and listened attentively.
"Ahem, how should I put it? In fact, when I first saw the cliff on the road with horizontal railings, my first reaction was that it was an illusion. It is a vision hallucination that can create false images and then interfere with human eyes. As for what is a vision hallucination, I believe you are here Most of you know this."
Seeing everyone nodding, he paused, and then He Fei continued: "It is undeniable that I initially judged the cliff as a false illusion, and even wanted to take the lead and walk straight past it. Fortunately, I was relatively calm at that time and picked up a piece of stone on the roadside before leaving. The stones were thrown downward, and then I realized that the cliff... was real!"
What! ! !
Hearing what He Fei said, everyone at the dining table who had just been thinking deeply was shocked on the spot! reason? The reason is very simple. As He Fei said at the beginning, leaving aside the newcomers, that night when it was discovered that the road was blocked by a cliff that appeared almost out of thin air, not only He Fei, but also other senior people with rich experience also thought... They had hallucinations, and the reason for not leaving was simply that the cliff was too real and they were not sure in their hearts. Until He Fei told the truth at this moment, Cheng Ying couldn’t sit still anymore, Peng Hu couldn’t sit still anymore, and Zhao Ping couldn’t sit still anymore. , Yao Fujiang and Qian Xueling even opened their mouths, and the reason why the seniors were surprised was also very simple, that is...
The fact that the stone can fall directly under the cliff proves that the cliff is real and not an illusion. Since it is not an illusion and it is a real cliff, how did He Fei get over it? How can the other party walk through the air? How to walk straight as if walking on flat ground? And how did the cliff disappear in the end?
Snapped!
As the saying goes, if you don't understand, you should ask. Sure enough, with surprise and curiosity, when he thought of this, before the young man could continue to speak, he reached out and slapped the table. Peng Hu stood up first and stared at the young man with an incredulous expression. Said: "What? Is the cliff real? It was obviously real but disappeared in the end? Isn't this too ridiculous? If that thing is an illusion, then the disappearance of the cliff can still be explained. It is nothing more than a deception, but just now you Since it is true, then what is the explanation for the disappearance of the cliff behind?"
After listening to Peng Hu's question, everyone thought that He Fei would give an explanation quickly. Unexpectedly, when they looked at He Fei again, they saw that the young man also looked suspicious. Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly at everyone: "Don't ask me, actually I I don’t know what happened. When I found out that the cliff was real, I was scared to death, but..."
At this point, after a slight pause, He Fei, who was shaking his head, crying, laughing, and looking confused just now, changed his expression. He became solemn and weird, and his brows suddenly wrinkled. Then he changed the topic and continued: "However, just in time, When I was frightened and overwhelmed by the real cliff, Grandma Qi appeared on the other side of the cliff."
“I admit that it was dark and windy at the time so I couldn’t see him clearly, but from his size and shape and even his clothes, I could still tell that he looked familiar. If nothing else happened, he was most likely the Granny Qi in the video preview. "
Um?
Hearing the words 'Grandma Qi', everyone was stunned, but He Fei still thought to himself and said: "Grandma Qi waved to me after she appeared. As for me at the time, I didn't know why, but I looked at I saw the abyss under my feet and looked at Grandma Qi's movements in front of me. My intuition faintly suggested that I had better follow the other person's instructions! So then I boldly stretched out my feet to test, and what happened next was completely beyond my expectation. ! As everyone saw at that time, I didn’t step into the air, I didn’t fall to death. It was obvious that there was an abyss under my feet, but I felt like I was stepping on the ground, and wherever I walked, the cliff disappeared until I was completely After walking through the cliff and reaching the opposite side, when the cliff disappeared, the old lady on the opposite side also disappeared."
The above is what He Fei personally experienced last night, and at this moment, the young man indeed told everyone about it without reservation. As expected, due to the excessive shock and unbelievability, after the narration was finished, the private room fell into silence, and everyone, without exception, looked shocked. , the reason comes from two points. First, they did not expect that even He Fei himself could not explain why the real cliff disappeared. As for the second point, they were even more surprised and horrified. In other words, this was the reason why the executors present collectively The biggest reason for being stunned and even collectively confused is...
螞, actually saved people! ?
That scary grandma who was most likely a wolf actually saved them! ?
You say that the wolf is cruel and murderous. Everyone believes it. You say that the wolf kills people like crazy. But you want to say that the wolf not only does not kill people, but also saves people...
is it possible? Is it realistic? .
Because he was well aware of the ferocity of oysters, at the thought of this, Yao Fujiang was dumbfounded at the dinner table, Qian Xueling was stunned and silent, Zhu Yuandong and Liu Xueping were also confused, and even senior Peng Hu and Cheng Ying were also surprised. , yes, after all, in the impressions of several senior people, they are all bloodthirsty and cruel existences without exception. It is not too much to describe them as killing people on sight. However, what they did not expect was...
According to what He Fei said just now, after the old woman who looked very much like a wolf appeared last night, she not only did not attack everyone, but actually helped them? He sent a signal to He Fei, and then led everyone to get out of the crisis and escape from the dead situation.
Everyone was stunned. For some reason, maybe they made some discoveries during the silent process or were inspired by what He Fei said. He adjusted his glasses and adjusted the bridge of his nose. Zhao Ping said thoughtfully: "Actually... I watched the entire movie in my private room earlier. I noticed a detail during the Yin Yang Road series, that is, although the old lady in the original movie often appeared suddenly and often scared the crap out of the protagonists, I rarely saw her killing people, and she did not appear in the movie. After watching the scene where Grandma Qi kills people, overall this woman doesn’t feel like a cruel and murderous character like ordinary Qi monsters. Instead, she looks like a character who is both good and evil. Although I have basically determined that the other party is a Qi, I still feel that she is a Qi. Whenever the movie ends with Granny Lobster, she often disappears for no reason, and the real killing locust at the end of the movie is another one, belonging to another species."
Huh?
Zhao Ping's words undoubtedly brought an excellent reminder to everyone. In addition, everyone has also watched the Yin and Yang Road series. Not to mention, if you recall carefully, it is exactly what the man with glasses said. Although the Granny Qi in the original movie is terrifying, She is extremely powerful, but in fact, in all the movies in which she has appeared, Grandma Qi scares people but never kills anyone.
only……
There is still one point that doesn't make sense if you want to explain it this way. That is, based on the scene of the car overturning in the earlier video preview, combined with the collective death of the people in the car, it seems that it was this Granny Qi that caused the car accident. If Granny Qi is not an evil spirit Hey, why did Grandma Gou in the video preview kill those people?
Yes, you said that Grandma Qi would not kill people at will, but how should we explain the video preview?
This is simply a self-contradictory question!
Sure enough, after most people figured this out, not to mention others shaking their heads in confusion, even Zhao Ping himself, who had just spoken, fell into a state of conflict and confusion again because he recalled the video preview, including He Fei.
The atmosphere in the private room became depressing. For a moment, complex emotions such as confusion, confusion, suspicion, anxiety, etc. filled the mind and surrounded everyone's hearts.
Unexpectedly, just when everyone was collectively confused and confused, a voice that was slightly muffled due to chewing something reached everyone's ears at this moment:
"Gudu, hoo! Let me tell you guys, actually, I personally think this issue is not as complicated as everyone thinks. The problem is that you have all overlooked one thing, the background of this supernatural mission."
Looking for the voice, I saw that the source of the voice was none other than Chen Xiaoyao, who had been immersed in eating until now!
"Hiccup! Phew, feel good!"
Feeling the attention of everyone, he tried his best to swallow the last bite of crayfish, then picked up the tea cup and drank some water. After finishing all this and wiping his mouth, Chen Xiaoyao looked at He Fei, Zhao Ping, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu and even He grinned under the gaze of everyone around him, then put down his tea cup and continued triumphantly: "Everyone has seen the movie Yin Yang Road, and there are indeed a lot of things in it as you said at first, yes. , looking at the entire Yin Yang Road series, the biggest difference between this series of horror movies and other horror movies is the number of locusts. In other horror movies, there is basically only one locust, and at most a few can reach the sky. However, Yin Yang Road The series is different. In almost every part, there are a lot of qi appearing more or less. Although Granny qi appears in the video, and the car did overturn in front of grandma, have you ever thought about the above? What if Grandma Qi didn’t do it?”
After Chen Xiaoyao finished saying this, he took out his toothpick and started picking his teeth. On the other hand, the expressions of everyone else around him changed slightly, and they were all lost in thought almost at the same time, even He Fei!
(Huh? What's going on? This logic is correct. Yes, although the car did overturn in front of Granny Qi in the video preview, the screen also briefly blurred when it overturned. Did something happen in the middle? Everyone knows that the death process of the people in the car was not witnessed with one's own eyes. Who can guarantee what happened when the screen was blurred? Who can guarantee whether those people really died due to the collision? Me, I was also involved. It turns out that , so that’s what happened, I understand...)
After all, people are human beings, and they all have their own unique thinking logic. In addition, due to long-term habits and time, everyone's thinking logic is mostly fixed. Others are like this, and wise people are not immune to it. Occasionally, they will not understand something. Logic thus falls into a logical dead end. However, if you can get some kind of hint at this time, then a smart person will quickly figure it out, understand quickly, and then sort out the seemingly messy chaos and find the answer!
Yes, after Chen Xiaoyao gave that profound reminder to everyone, in less than a minute, He Fei figured out the key point, that is...
Psychological suggestion! ! !
The so-called psychological suggestion refers to the psychological characteristics of people accepting the influence of the outside world or other people's wishes, concepts, emotions, judgments, and attitudes. It is the most common psychological phenomenon in people's daily life.
Psychologists believe that suggestion is the simplest and most typical conditioned reflex of human beings. In terms of psychological mechanism, it is an assumption affirmed by subjective will. It may not necessarily be based on basis, but because its existence has been subjectively affirmed, Psychologically, we try our best to tend to this content. We are receiving cues from the outside all the time in our lives. To give a simple example, those dazzling shopping advertisements on TV will inadvertently exert a certain psychological influence on consumers. Suggestion.
Of course, examples are just examples, but the principles are undoubtedly the same. To put it bluntly, the video of the car accident that the executor initially watched was most likely a trap, a hidden danger full of psychological implications! Taking advantage of the executor's familiarity with the original movie and his fear of hawks, he deliberately showed Granny hawks, and then deliberately let Granny hawks appear in front of the car, causing a car accident. Finally, he did not forget to deliberately show the scene of the car crash and the death of people. In this way, It will lead to a result, a natural psychological tendency result, and a terrible result that ordinary people can hardly detect!
That is...
Although at the end of the video, we only saw the ending of the car overturning but not the process of the car overturning, even if we did not see the process, even if we did not witness the death process of the people in the car, the executor would still subconsciously think that due to the earlier video images This must be the hand of Grandma Qi, so the final impression left by the video preview on those who watch the video comes out...
Grandma Po is definitely not a kind person, she is an extremely vicious murderous creature!
Its purpose is to make people preconceptions and ultimately disrupt the executor's thinking direction.
(What a vicious psychological suggestion, such a terrible psychological impact. If it hadn’t been for Chen Xiaoyao’s reminder just now, not only others, but maybe even me would have been stuck in the entanglement of whether Grandma Qi is good or bad. In fact, whether Grandma Qi is good or bad It’s not important. What’s important is that Granny Qi is undoubtedly the key point in this supernatural mission. You only need to solve the supernatural incident through the other party!)
(Oh, curse, you, you set a trap for us again...)
He Fei thought and guessed in his mind, and Zhao Ping also figured this out. Like the college students, the man with glasses also figured out the reason after a short period of thinking, but it was different from He Fei who only focused on being busy and then being afraid. After thinking about this, Zhao Ping didn't have much fear. Instead, he immediately shifted his gaze and looked aside, looking at Chen Xiaoyao who was facing him because he still felt he was not full.
Seeing the young Taoist priest eating happily, the man's eyes became more suspicious and puzzled.
………
"Regarding Chen Xiaoyao's remarks, well, let me tell you my personal understanding first."
As his thoughts straightened out, he gained a lot of insights, and in order to allow everyone to fully understand, He Fei, as the captain, took the lead in explaining the psychological implications of the dangerous situation he had just realized.
It was not much different from what was expected. Since none of them were fools, although everyone was more or less enlightened, after listening to He Fei's clearer logical explanation, even though everyone had their own understanding, everyone present still remained the same. I was stunned and shocked. I never expected that there was a trap hidden in a mere video preview! There is an extremely sinister intention hidden there. If Chen Xiaoyao hadn't reminded her, everyone would still be stuck in the conflicting thoughts about whether Grandma Qi is good or bad. Of course, as the surprise ended and the thoughts opened up, they suddenly realized. , everyone also looked at Chen Xiaoyao with admiration at Chen Xiaoyao who had just raised the key point.
Not only were they impressed, some senior people even expressed emotions and even doubts in their hearts.
Chen Xiaoyao, this young guy who looks funny and calls himself a Lushan Taoist...
Who are they?
