I would like to ask, is it reasonable for a small mountain town to be extremely silent and completely silent at night?
At first glance, there is no problem. After all, do you think that in a remote place in the mountains, it will be as noisy as a city?
Indeed, the truth seems to be correct, and it is considered normal in the eyes of ordinary people. However, in the eyes of executors who are always extremely vigilant, a brief observation can reveal the hidden weirdness.
There are no traces of human beings, no dogs crowing and roosters crowing. In such a dead silence, the surrounding houses are all bright and lit. Are the residents sleeping? Who sleeps with the lights on? Even if you turn on the lights to sleep, you can't have bright lights in every house, right?
unreasonable.
This is simply unreasonable.
After understanding Cheng Ying's meaning, Peng Huyi frowned and echoed: "Huh? Yes, it's really quiet. I didn't hear any chickens, cats or dogs barking along the way."
After saying that, with confusion in mind, the bald man immediately got down to business, glanced at the house opposite, and then asked the key question for the others: "Well, should we knock on the door?"
Peng Hu was not an idiot. He could naturally guess what Cheng Ying was worried about at the moment. That's why he asked Cheng Ying in an uncertain tone because he felt uneasy. However, when faced with the bald head's question, Cheng Ying didn't know what to do. The answer may be understood to mean that at this moment, she is not sure whether to let Yao Fujiang knock on the door. After all, it is known from the video preview that there is a pink-skirted female hopper hidden in this town, and the town clearly reveals that there is a It's weird, no one is sure what will happen once they enter the house.
So naturally, because she was too undecided, Cheng Ying did not answer Peng Hu. She just pursed her lips and hesitated. Finally, she couldn't help but stare at the opposite side, looking at Peng Hu's back again, and at the man with closed eyes. He Fei.
(He Fei, what should I do? Faced with this situation, if you... what would you do?)
………
As mentioned above, as mentioned above, it is true that Cheng Ying is very powerful. Her vigilance and observation skills are both extremely high. With these two abilities and her extraordinary skills, she has escaped death many times in the real world. To give a simple example, in the past, when carrying out assassination missions in the real world, if she discovered some abnormal situations during the process, she would not act immediately but would continue to observe patiently. In the end, she would often find an opportunity to kill the target in one blow while waiting. If the situation is really weird and she can't find any problems even through observation, then she will most likely choose to retreat, give up the action and wait for the next attack. Unfortunately...
Unfortunately, the situation is similar but different in nature.
The difference is that what she is facing now is not an assassination mission, but a supernatural mission, and the mission requirements have been made very clear, that is...
It is strictly forbidden to leave the town during the mission!
Yes, this is the root cause of Cheng Ying's hesitation and even dilemma at this moment. That is to say, even if they, the executors, know that the town contains huge dangers, they have to bite the bullet and stay here until the 7-day limit. Completely over.
It is conceivable that since the task requirements restrict the executor to a small town, is it possible for the executor to stay in the open air for seven days? Is it possible to find a private house as a temporary residence?
only……
The scene returned to reality. At night, in front of the gate of a certain house, Cheng Ying was undecided...
Behind, a certain man with glasses moved.
Zhao Ping, who had been in the crowd earlier and had been silent for a long time, actually strode out of the crowd at this moment, and then walked straight forward. Under the astonished eyes of everyone around him, he walked to the door and raised his hand to knock.
Boom, boom, boom!
Seeing this scene and hearing the noise, everyone couldn't help but be shocked. Unexpectedly, the man with glasses knocked on the door and went about his own business before Cheng Ying gave an order. He just knocked on the door openly without knowing whether there was any danger in the room. Come on, is this really good?
As mentioned above, because the move was too sudden, when Peng Hu came to his senses, although he wanted to stop him, he was finally a step too late. The loud knocking on the door of the man with eyes had also broken the silence and spread around the surroundings, spreading straight through the street. , seeing this, the bald man couldn't help but get angry, pointed at the other person and shouted: "Fuck! Zhao Ping, you..."
Halfway through his words, the rest of the words were not uttered, and he just stopped.
The reason is very simple. It wasn't that the bald man didn't want to continue, but that Cheng Ying reached out and grabbed his arm to signal him to stop talking. It was obvious that although Peng Hu didn't know what the other man meant, he still suppressed his dissatisfaction under the look in his eyes. remain silent.
Similarly, not only Peng Hu and the other executors at the rear were puzzled, but Yao Fujiang, who was currently at the same door as Zhao Ping, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth a few times. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly backed away as if he had thought of something, and returned hastily. Staying a certain distance away from the door, in the end, all of them concentrated together with everyone around them, collectively looking ahead with vigilant eyes, observing the man knocking on the door.
As for Zhao Ping...
He kept knocking for a long time, but as time passed, no matter how many times he knocked, the door remained silent, with no response or sound.
After knocking for a full minute and basically confirming that there could be no response, the man with glasses slowly lowered his arm, stood in front of the door and thought for a moment, then turned around and walked back to the team.
Of course, when he returned, the man also deliberately said a short and easy-to-understand sentence to everyone:
"Force the door."
It is self-evident what he means, and everyone knows what the result will be.
As expected, before Zhao Ping finished speaking, Cheng Ying and Peng Hu glanced at each other subconsciously. Cheng Ying nodded. The bald man understood and was about to hand He Fei to Yao Fujiang beside him, but unexpectedly...
"etc!"
It was late and then fast. Before Peng Hu could make a move, Gao Jikun, who had been staying at the end of the team, shouted something and moved first, squeezing out Fang Hai and Yue Xiao who were blocking the way. With confused eyes, he took three steps at a time to reach the front of the team, and finally said to Cheng Ying, Zhao Ping and Peng Hu with an attentive look: "Well, why don't you let me kick you!"
Huh?
It happened suddenly, and everyone looked at him in surprise. No one expected that this fat newbie would come forward out of nowhere and actually take the initiative to replace the senior and forcefully break the door. Is this guy stupid? As mentioned earlier, even senior people like Cheng Ying did not dare to enter private houses due to the awareness of crisis because they knew that the town was dangerous. The one who breaks the door first will undoubtedly bear certain risks. Who knows what will pop out after you kick the door open? If there really is something, the person closest to the door who breaks the door will undoubtedly bear the brunt.
"Well, Brother Peng, Mr. Zhao and Miss Cheng, let me do the work of breaking down the door."
At this moment, hearing Gao Jikun take the initiative to ask for help, and seeing the other party's resolute expression, Peng Hu looked suspicious, Zhao Pingping was expressionless, and as for Cheng Ying...
After observing the other person for a few times, he did not refuse. He nodded to the fat man and signaled that the other person could pass.
Let's not talk about why the new fat man behaved like this. In fact, after seeing Zhao Ping knocking on the door to no avail, not only Cheng Ying, but also everyone decided that there was no one in the house with a little light in front of them, otherwise they would never have knocked so hard. No one responded for a long time. It was obvious that this was an empty house. At the same time, they also made a vague guess about other nearby houses. What everyone has to do now is just as Zhao Ping said just now, forcefully break the door and then take a look inside. Whatever the situation is, perhaps the situation in this house is likely to represent the situation in the surrounding houses.
Returning to the topic, seeing the girl with high authority in the team nodding her head in agreement, how could Gao Jikun dare to neglect her? He strode to the door, held his breath, and then raised his right foot and kicked the door hard!
bump!
Bang!
The next second, with a violent impact, the seemingly solid wooden door was kicked open!
Seeing this, some people were slightly startled, secretly marveling at the fat man's physical strength. Even though this guy named Gao Jikun looked a bit unworthy of society, unexpectedly he still had a lot of strength.
"call!"
As the saying goes, everything is relative. In front of the door, when he saw the door being kicked open by himself, Gao Jikun hurriedly looked at everyone with a humble face. He looked humble on the surface, but in fact he was content. In other words, through this matter, he had begun to Reflects some personal values.
Gao Jikun is a smart person, a rare smart person, and currently Fatty's inner thoughts and actions are precisely to express himself and show his role in front of senior people, so as to contribute as much as possible to the team. It is true that he also He knows that as a newcomer, he is unlikely to play a big role in this supernatural mission, but his many years of social experience still make him understand that it is precisely because of this that he needs to perform more. As long as he performs well, as long as he can win the recognition of senior people Or make it more pleasing to the other party, then at least the senior person may reach out to help him when he encounters danger in the future.
Everything is just for performance, just to reflect your own value in front of senior people as much as possible. Only with a certain value will you be safe, only with a certain value can senior people save you in dangerous moments, so sometimes you should take risks. Risks must be taken.
(Hmph, Fang Hai, Yue Xiao, you two guys, look at how I conduct myself. There are many ways to do it, so learn from it!)
Quickly suppressing his thoughts, the fat man saw senior people looking at him in front of the door. The fat man felt proud and couldn't help but look at Zhao Ping. Perhaps he noticed Gao Jikun's eyes or was convinced of the fat man's courage. He was standing next to Peng Hu. The bespectacled man beside him unexpectedly nodded towards him. When he saw the bespectacled man nodding in approval, he was secretly happy. The desire to continue to perform in front of senior people also became stronger. In his opinion, this was a win. It is an excellent opportunity to gain favor from a senior person. As the saying goes, an opportunity cannot be missed and will never come back. Sure enough, as soon as he kicked the door open and without waiting for others to speak, Gao Jikun once again mustered up the courage to say to everyone: "Don't rush in, I'll go in first." Let me find out the situation for everyone!”
Taking a deep breath, Gao Jikun strode into the house without doubting his presence.
After the fat man entered, perhaps he felt something. Peng Hu grinned, and while stroking his beard, he confided in his heart: "Hey, this fat man named Gao doesn't look good enough for society, but he's actually quite fat, isn't he? Dare you go in alone to explore the way for the large army?"
Yao Fujiang was also amazed: "Yeah, at first I kind of hated this guy's appearance. I never thought Gao Jikun was so courageous."
Peng and Yao were talking to each other, but in fact, except for them, most of the other people at the scene remained silent and stared at the door. Only Chen Xiaoyao had a special reaction. The young man neither participated in the discussion nor stared at the door. Instead, he was smiling. He glanced to one side and looked at the expressionless Zhao Ping.
After looking at it for a few times, he came closer and was about to secretly say something to the man with glasses, but before he could open his mouth...
Right in front, I heard a shout suddenly coming from the house, a burst of shouting, and a shrill scream full of fear:
"ah!"
