"Ah! Damn it! Where is it? Where is the sign? Where is it!!!"
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and the more he ran all the way without noticing anything. Finally, He Fei went crazy and fell completely into madness. The young man's face was ferocious, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was running and howling. , roaring like a wounded beast. After all, everyone's life and death are now in his hands. The irresistible pressure prompted him to vent crazily. In order to vent, he finally ran directly to a big tree and raised his fist to smash the trunk.
However...
The next second, the roar disappeared, the anger disappeared, even the fist that was about to be punched stayed in the air, and the whole person was frozen in place like a photo.
Only one pair of eyes looked down, staring at the grass under the tree.
Why does it freeze instantly? Why the sudden stop? Why did He Fei, who was venting like crazy, stop inexplicably?
The answer is simple. Just a few seconds ago, at the moment when he ran to the tree and punched to vent, he accidentally saw something out of the corner of his eye.
He noticed a small metal tip faintly protruding from the dense grass under the tree.
Seeing this, He Fei froze for a moment, then moved and resumed his movements. In order to see things clearly, he reached into his pocket, took out the cat-eye flashlight, and then shined the flashlight beam downwards, to his side, and illuminated Look at the bulge with a faint metallic luster under the moonlight.
Next, as the beam of light shone directly, He Fei's pupils shrank, and his heart was filled with ecstasy.
because……
At this moment, through the flashlight, I saw a metal sign in front of me, a road sign that was broken into the grass due to disrepair for many years! ! !
………
Life is often full of surprises, so why not in the mission world?
After searching for a long time, there were few clues, and after searching for a long time, I found nothing. The result...
He Fei never dreamed that he would find the sign in this way. In addition to being happy, he was more surprised. Yes, the clue was correct. The sign was indeed located on both sides of the road, but who would have thought that the sign was not erected. It is not standing in a conspicuous place by the roadside. Instead, it has fallen down in the grass on the roadside and was covered by weeds. If I hadn't accidentally noticed the protrusion in the grass just now, I might not have been able to find it after searching all night.
Getting back to the topic, although He Fei didn't know whether the sign fell to the ground naturally or was caused by man, it was not important at this moment. What was important was that the sign had been found. Since it was found, then according to Peng Hu's previous information Narrating, there is no doubt that the urn is buried directly under this sign!
sand.
Thinking about this, how dare He Fei write ink? He immediately took action, squatting on the ground, first flipping the sign aside, and then took out a dagger from his waist, inserted it into the soil, and started digging. Yes, due to time constraints, the college students did not bring digging tools, so they had no choice but to use a dagger instead, although it was faster. It's slow, but I think 15 minutes is more than enough.
The moon was dark, the wind was high, and the cold wind was blowing. On a stretch of deserted road, under the moonlight, a young man was busy, sweating profusely in the grass on the roadside.
Blah, blah, blah...
Accompanied by bursts of soft sounds, mixed with flying debris, at this moment, He Fei was turning over the soil frequently while holding the dagger with both hands. The young man worked very hard, and sweat streaked his forehead from time to time. It was obvious that the digging tool was not very smooth, resulting in dryness. It's very difficult to get up, but overall it's still much better than digging with bare hands.
For a moment, He Fei didn't think about anything, didn't do anything, he just dug in the soil with all his strength. He believed that the clues would not be false, and he believed that the way to escape was down there. As long as he dug out the thing, he would be there. The team will be exposed to the crisis of destruction, and he will also make a comeback, make a comeback in a desperate situation, and then become the final winner of this life-and-death chess game!
Blah, blah, blah...
Boom.
The hard work paid off. In the end, after nearly 10 minutes of frantic digging, there was a soft thud and the edge of the dagger touched an object under the soil. In the grass, He Fei's heart trembled, and then he felt happy. The joyful college student further accelerated his movements, inserted the dagger back into his waist, and then dug with both hands. Soon, a square wooden box appeared in front of him, directly exposed to the field of vision.
There is no doubt that this is the urn, the urn of Qi Longlan!
It's this, it's this! ! !
Finally, finally found, what does it mean to find the urn? What does it mean?
It means victory, but also means that this supernatural incident that has tortured everyone for a long time, threatened everyone for a long time, and even forced all the executors into desperation is about to be solved!
Of course, joy is joy, but in reality, He Fei had no ink marks at all. As soon as he dug up the black wooden box, the college student stretched his hand into the pit.
only……
Just when He Fei reached into the pit, just when he was about to take the wooden box in his hand, something happened. A strange incident that was both unclear and extremely strange happened.
The reason why it is described as unknown is that this so-called change has no reason, no sign, and no logic.
Yes, it is neither a sudden attack damage nor a sudden and shocking attack, but...
Scene changes, environment changes, and even...
The whole world has changed dramatically! ! !
As mentioned above, just when his fingers were about to touch the black wooden box, suddenly, the vision of He Fei's eyes quickly blurred, and at the same time, his body began to shake uncontrollably from side to side as if he was drunk, or in other words, his whole body fell into In a fuzzy state, he became like a drunkard who was over-drinking and his vision was blurred and his body was shaking. Except for the fact that his brain was still awake, all the sensory systems of the body were greatly weakened!
The vision is blurred, the body is shaking, the nose can't smell the smell, the ears can't hear the sound, so that even the cool breeze blowing on the body from time to time can't be felt.
This feeling was both weird and sudden, so weird that it was so extraordinary that even He Fei couldn't react. He fell into a blur in just a second, and fell into a blur of perception from the first moment when everything was normal.
Fortunately, the weird feeling comes and goes faster. If I was swaying around drunkenly one second, then when the next second comes, the drunkenness disappears, the blur disappears, the vision returns to normal, the perception returns to normal, everything Everything is repeated as it is.
However, there are also abnormalities, such as...
When his vision returned to clearness, He Fei's eyes widened on the spot, so wide that bloodshot eyes appeared around his pupils!
The young man was stunned, staring completely dumbfounded.
What could make He Fei stunned? What can make this person experience
A veteran executive who has been through a lot of storms is so shocked?
that is because……
As the blurriness recedes and the vision returns to clarity, the scene in front of me has changed. It has completely changed. Is it still night somewhere around me? Where are the roads? There is clearly a deserted desert in front of us! ! !
Yes, He Fei is currently standing in a scorching desert. Looking around, no matter front, back, left, right, southeast or northwest, there are endless sand dunes in all directions. The sun is high above his head, and the rolling heat waves are wrapping his body and stimulating his skin. It is estimated that the temperature here is at least 40 degrees, and the soft sand underfoot is really touchable.
Real, absolutely real, not even a hint of falsehood.
Tick tock.
He was stunned for a long time, until beads of sweat appeared on his forehead due to the high temperature, and until the beads of sweat dripped to the ground and evaporated instantly, he suddenly came back to his senses. Perhaps in order to get further confirmation, He Fei bent down and reached out as if he suddenly remembered something, and grabbed a handful of sand under his feet. Grains, look carefully, and as far as the eye can see, the real sand grains begin to scatter and slide towards the ground along the fingers.
Blah, blah, blah.
The real scene, the real temperature, the real grains of sand, all added together, told myself, told He Fei, told him that he was in the desert, in an endless hot hell.
This is……
Real illusion! ! !
In an instant, the above four words came to mind.
There is no doubt that He Fei is not a fool, and he has never suffered from amnesia. As soon as he confirmed the environment, the college student has found the root cause and recognized the key. Yes, it is an illusion, a real illusion, a more terrifying and terrifying thing than an illusion. The ability to falsely deceive is also an almost insurmountable fatal move. This thing can not only deceive the five senses of human beings, but also deceive human nerves. It can even deceive human organs and the concept of time. Once caught, there is basically no way to escape. Possible means of psychological attack, at least the person who is attacked cannot break free by his own strength.
Obviously, He Fei learned the truth through the earlier attack on Cheng Ying, and knew that he was now very likely to fall into the trap and fall into a real illusion. As the saying goes, he didn't understand the reason why he was not in it. If he was right at the beginning. The understanding of the illusion only came from Cheng Ying's narration, which led to a shallow understanding. So, at this moment, he fully realized the horror of the real illusion when he was immersed in it. No wonder Cheng Ying almost died after being trapped for only half an hour. Oh, it turns out that’s what happened, it turns out that all of this is so real!
Since I've been caught in a real illusion, doesn't that mean...
It means that Granny Qi is now chasing her, and it also means that the other party has noticed her. Now that she has noticed, how could Granny Qi allow herself to dig out the wooden box?
As expected, Granny Qi happened to be nearby when I reached for the urn. Then she discovered my intention and immediately took action to prevent the attack. It is undeniable that Granny Qi has no physical attack ability and cannot pass through. Stop yourself physically, but so what? Is it necessary to use physical means to stop it?
The result was natural. At the critical moment, Granny Qi cast a real illusion on herself, which not only prevented her from getting the urn in time, but also successfully trapped herself.
Then……
He has been sentenced to death, or in other words, anyone who has an illusion has no other choice but to be trapped alive.
"I'm done. I'm going to die. I'm going to die in this endless desert."
While muttering to himself, He Fei's body began to shake and tremble. Fear swept through his body. After looking at the surrounding desert, he trembled again and again. His whole body was in despair.
It’s not his fault, I really don’t blame him. It’s not his fault that He Fei is timid, and it’s not that he’s weak-willed. Thinking about it from his perspective, when a person suddenly finds himself in a boundless desert with nothing but sand around him and the temperature The heat is unbearable. So, with no way to leave and no rescue, what is the outcome waiting for this person?
The answer is self-evident. Anyone with some common sense about biology would say without hesitation that this person is dead!
There is no doubt that he will die. Not only will he die, but he will die quickly and miserably. Even starving to death has become a luxury.
Why do you say that? The reason is very simple. First of all, you must understand where this place is, a desert, a vast and endless desert. It is extremely hot here and there is no water. Once humans are here, unless you bring a large amount of water sources and complete cooling equipment, otherwise the temperature will be 40 degrees. Human beings cannot last long in the above high-temperature environment. It only takes a few hours for the high temperature to evaporate the water in the body. Finally, they die of dehydration and turn into a mummy after death.
So He Fei was scared, scared to death. This was also the first time that he trembled continuously without facing a worm, and he was frightened to death by an environment.
Some people may be confused after seeing this, such as why should we be afraid? Why fear? Even if the environment is extremely real, it is still fake and essentially still an illusion. Is it possible that He Fei, who is well aware of the fake environment, is afraid of illusions?
Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this way of understanding. After all, it has been described many times before that real illusions, no matter how real they are, are still essentially false. I hope it will not be affected by it. On the surface, it seems reasonable and reasonable regardless of reason or logic. However, in fact, the above statement still has loopholes, or it is only based on the spiritual level of people's personal brains, but it ignores the most important point.
That is to say, real illusions can not only affect the five senses of human beings, but also affect the body's biological clock and affect people's concept of time! ! !
This is the scariest and most terrifying thing.
So what if you are extremely clear-headed? So what if you are clearly certain that this is an illusion? The brain can control the eyes, limbs, and body, but the brain cannot control nerves, body organs, and time.
Through the false desert environment, the real illusion deceives the skin's sensory nerves, and then transmits heat signals to various organs of the body through external nerves. Due to the high temperature, the human body naturally begins to lose water, at a rate several times normal under the high temperature. The rapid loss of water, coupled with the extremely fast passage of time in the real illusion. The combination of the two will lead to only one result, which is that people will be burned and exposed to the sun while knowing that the environment is false, and finally die of dehydration. .
He Fei understands this truth, and with his wisdom, he can completely figure it out in just a few seconds, so this is the real reason why the young man is afraid.
die!
He didn't die in the hands of a tiger, but died in an endless desert that was both false and real.
He only had a few hours left to live.
"Hoo, ho, ho..."
Time began to pass, water began to disappear, sweat was already covering the forehead, and breathing gradually began to become rapid.
Yes, the expected situation has now happened. Under the double cover of the sun exposure and the surrounding high temperature, He Fei has already lost water in just a few minutes, and his thirst gradually deepens and becomes more intense.
(This is different from reality. Because time passes very quickly in the illusion world, there is no need to worry about time delay in reality. That is true, but the question is what should I do now? I can’t get out. I can't use the previous methods to deal with hallucinations to get out of the predicament, nor can I find an exit in this boundless desert. It's so hot, so hot. I didn't bring any water or sunshade. If I continue like this, I will die and be sunburned to death. ...)
My thoughts became anxious with the high temperature, and my fear gradually increased with the exposure.
until……
Until the college student could not sit still, until he wanted to plunge into the yellow sand, his mind, no, it should be his subconscious, from the deep and endless subconscious of the young man came a voice, a word, and a questioning voice that had not appeared for a long time.
It was his own voice, very much like a dreamy voice, very much like he was asking himself.
"Who are you?"
"Who am I? Who am I, you ask?"
Hearing the self-questioning deep in his soul, He Fei responded instinctively and gave a standard answer that was 100% correct.
"I am He Fei."
"Then...who is He Fei?"
Silence, silence, no words for a long time, or in other words, since the question was asked, the inner voice and He Fei himself both fell into silence, into that silent and repressive silence.
In silence, He Fei found the answer, found the answer again, and when he thought of the answer, he blurted out the answer immediately:
"I am a college student, an executor of the cursed space, a senior member of the team, and the captain of the 7th execution team of the cursed space. I have experienced supernatural missions one after another, and survived life and death crises again and again. I am not afraid. I am not afraid of danger. Because I am not afraid, I can deal with it calmly. I can always find a way to survive in desperate situations. I can always find hope in death. I am He Fei!"
"I won't die easily, no, absolutely not!"
Ding!
As his heart trembled, for some reason, He Fei, who had been irritable and crazier just now, changed slightly. Even though his whole face was still nervous and uneasy, the fear between his eyebrows had disappeared and was replaced by solemnity. , is the calmness that the young man has not seen for a long time.
Yes, after the self-questioning and answering just now, He Fei woke up, completely woke up, and he clearly realized that he had to stay calm. After all, it was different from usual. Not only was the development of the situation reaching the last moment, but also the life and death of the entire team. At the last moment, in order to win this life-and-death chess game, he must be calm and calm as before. Not only must he respond calmly, but he must also escape from the illusion. This is not only about his personal life and death, but also the life and death of other companions.
(Currently, all my companions are surrounded by a swarm of worms, and it is impossible to rely on the help of others. This means that if I want to break away from the illusion at this moment, I must rely on myself to complete it. In this case, in reality, there is still enough time. Use it?)
(Remember that there were 15 minutes left when the signboard was first discovered, and it took about 8 minutes to dig out the wooden box. Calculating this way, there are about 7 minutes left before the protective light beam disappears, which means that you must break away from the real illusion within 7 minutes. , otherwise all companions will be killed by the swarm due to losing the protection of the light beam.
7 minutes, only the last 7 minutes left!
(All right.)
Snap.
Thinking of this, the next second, He Fei sat down on the sand, lowered his head and thought deeply. He was sweating and sitting on the ground under the scorching sun. At the same time, as his buttocks sat down, the young man was full of tears earlier. The worried expression disappeared in an instant.
Some are just expressionless, and some are just complex expressions that occasionally change between their brows.
He Fei sat down and became no longer anxious or anxious.
Why? Why do college students become calm even though they know they are pressed for time? Doesn't he care whether his companions live or die?
The answer is naturally no.
The reason is very good, and the key answer is still related to time.
As mentioned above, it is undeniable that He Fei just realized that there is not much time left, and there are only 7 minutes left before the effective protection time of the Brilliant Pearl. However, the time mentioned above is real time and not illusory time!
When Cheng Ying was trapped, he used a spiritual link to communicate with him and learned the key. He learned that the illusion time and the real time were not synchronized. In addition, Cheng Ying's narration, He Fei finally came to the conclusion that in the illusion world, The passage of time is different from the real world. Time passes extremely fast here. It is initially estimated that 24 hours in the illusion is basically equal to 24 minutes in reality.
It is conceivable that since time and reality are not synchronized in the illusion world, why is he anxious? Just find a way out before you get burned to death.
There is another thing that must be mentioned, that is, the so-called phantom time is not the ability to control time in the true sense. It is still false in nature. It is just an illusion created by using real illusions to blind people's perception system, and then achieve the ultimate goal. The result that makes people believe it is true, in fact, the illusion time and the real time are still the same, the only difference is the shielding and simulation.
The simulation is too real, so even if you know that the environment is fake and the time is fake, you still can't escape. However, just as everything in the world has its two sides, precisely because the illusion is too real, He Fei is taking advantage of this fake time at this moment. Buy yourself a few hours of thinking time!
Back to the topic, as he continued to think, and occasionally raised his head to observe the environment, plus the unbearable feeling of heat that had become more and more intense since entering, He Fei was convinced that all of his perception systems were being deceived, and the result was very obvious. Under the scorching sun and baked by the surrounding high temperature, he was already sweating profusely and panting. From the current point of view, except for the fact that He Fei's brain has the ability to think independently, all other body systems have fully recognized the authenticity of the environment. .
24 hours in the illusion is equal to 24 minutes in the outside world. Now there are 7 minutes left, which means that he only needs to break free from the illusion within 7 hours. Once he breaks free, he will still have enough time to dig out the urn!
However...
Regrettably, on the surface, it seems that I still have a full 7 hours to relax, but this is also the most vicious thing about Granny Qi!
