Of course, the seniors were unwilling to say it clearly, and the newcomers naturally did not dare to ask questions at will, especially Gao Jikun. Ever since he learned about the character of certain seniors from Yao Fujiang during the day, the fat man had been in a state of tedious thinking about Zhao Ping and Cheng Ying. The attitude became more and more respectful.
Can……
Even so, there was one thing that kept bothering him, causing him to ask anyway.
While everyone at the scene was silent, the fat man saw the right opportunity, hurriedly patted his head and pretended to be surprised: "Huh? Why do you feel like there is someone missing? It seems that you haven't seen Brother Xiaoyao since the afternoon?"
………
Although Gao Jikun thought that the question he asked was not a high-level question, and there was no need for senior people to hide anything, what was a little surprising was that when he spoke the question, he did not expect that Zhao Ping, Cheng Ying and even Peng Hu were on the other side. Still keeping silent, not even looking at him. Faced with such an embarrassing situation, when Gao Jikun was at a loss, Peng Hu changed the topic, put on the air of a social boss and ordered the newcomers present: "It's not early Now, you three go back to your room and rest."
No one dared not listen to what the senior said, especially the instructions of Peng Hu, who was not easy to mess with at first sight. No one dared to turn a deaf ear to the instructions. As soon as he finished speaking, the honest man Fang Hai immediately got up and left obediently, walking towards the bedroom on the right as instructed. , Yue Xiao followed closely behind, and before leaving, he secretly glanced at someone opposite. Gao Jikun's face was a little ugly, the corners of his mouth twitched and his eyes darted around, obviously he was hesitant to speak, but unfortunately his arms could not twist his thighs, and finally , as Peng Hu glared, the fat man still didn't say anything, and just returned to the bedroom with the other two people.
When the three of them entered the bedroom, Fang Hai, who had been panicking for a long time, mechanically lay down on the quilt in the corner. Yue Xiao also looked at Yao Fujiang in front of her and chose to rest silently. Only Gao Jikun was not sleepy at all. Instead of feeling sleepy, he felt a little anxious. The reason was for no other reason than that after two days of observation, he had guessed that the senior people must be hiding something from the newcomers. This feeling of being kept in the dark was indeed very uncomfortable for him who was very curious about knowledge. , although there is some truth in the saying that the more you know, the less safe you are, but he has also heard that the more you know, the greater your hope of survival, especially for those who are currently involved in supernatural missions. In this way, unlike Liu Dong's group of clueless plot characters, Gao Jikun clearly knows how dangerous this town is and how strong the murderous intent is. Even though this is just his first contact with a supernatural mission, I have never come into contact with a locust before, but so what?
Being a newcomer is not an excuse, and knowing little is not a reason. Everyone is equal before death. Once you encounter a tiger, you will be dead. This can be clearly felt from the recent reactions of several senior people.
The more I think about it, the more impatient I become, and the more I think about it, the more frustrated I become.
(No, I must integrate into the circle of senior people as soon as possible. I must let them accept me as soon as possible and regard me as one of them. Otherwise, if I continue like this, God knows what will happen to me in the future? And God knows if anyone is willing to do it if I encounter danger. help me……)
Thinking of this, next to the quilt, Gao Jikun raised his head and looked across the way, looking at Yao Fujiang, who was sitting in front of the bed and looking after the captain. As described above, after two days of observation, the fat man could see a lot clearly, including every senior person. As for the person in front of him, he guessed that the young man named Yao Fujiang should not be as capable as the three Zhao Pings in the living room outside, otherwise he would not be arranged to take care of the unconscious captain. But then again, the senior people unanimously handed over the most important captain. The arrangement of this person’s care is still proven, proving that this person is very loyal to the team and trustworthy. If the guess is correct, then can we start with this person first? Or think of another way?
For a moment, Gao Jikun, who was worried, gradually hesitated.
………
At the same time, as the plot characters and the newcomers returned to the bedroom one after another, the huge living room became deserted. Zhang Qifeng and several senior Zhao Ping were left in a daze for a long time. Peng Hu looked left and right, Cheng Ying closed her eyes and rested, and Qian Xueling She was still sitting next to Zhao Ping and holding on to the man's arm as usual. There was no denying that Qian Xueling was clingy, but fortunately the woman had always been obedient and always kept quiet when she was around others. Everyone had gotten used to it for a long time. , others may be used to it, but as a person involved and as a target, the man with glasses does not think so. The man is speechless and helpless. He was even completely speechless for Qian Xueling a long time ago. He has always been indifferent and often did not give the other party a good look, but he never expected that no matter how cold and scornful he was, the woman didn't care at all and still persisted in sticking to her.
In the end, Zhao Ping was completely speechless towards Qian Xueling. If he wanted to stick with her, let her stick with him, as long as it didn't hinder him.
Let’s get down to business, let alone what Cheng Ying was thinking, let alone what Zhao Ping’s intentions were. He looked around for a long time and saw that Zhang Qifeng was always present. Peng Hu was a little at a loss. During this period, he opened his mouth several times and swallowed the words on his own. Obviously, he was worried about the presence of the characters in the plot, which made it inconvenient to speak. Perhaps he could see the bald man's concerns and glanced at the corner. Cheng Ying's face was as usual, without any fluctuations, and she finally said something pointed. : "This person is already dead. No matter what we talk about next, regardless of whether he can hear it or not, it has no meaning to this person."
The tone of his words was cold and emotionless, and he looked at the life and death of others with a cold eye.
After hearing this, Zhao Ping nodded slightly without comment, but Peng Hu felt a little cold in his heart. To be honest, if it weren't for Cheng Ying's words just now, he would have almost forgotten the identity of the professional killer. Yes, for someone like Cheng Ying, For a ruthless killer like Ying, who has nearly a hundred lives in her hands, one life is really nothing to her, but...somehow, Peng Hu, who was a soldier and also killed people, But he found it a bit difficult to accept Cheng Ying and Zhao Ping's attitude of not taking human life seriously. Of course, he also knew that the current situation could not help a few people not to do this, and this was why he was willing to agree to Zhao Ping's cold-blooded attitude earlier. The reason for the plan, but no matter what, I still felt a little unhappy.
squeak.
Coincidentally, just when Peng Hu was thinking wildly, and when Zhao Ping was looking down at his watch frequently, the door of the living room was suddenly pushed open at this moment, and immediately, a young man wearing a shit yellow coat followed him. Step in.
"Hey! You're all here, and you went out of your way to greet me in the living room? Hehe, you don't have to be so polite."
Sure enough, seeing Chen Xiaoyao return, Peng Hu and Qian Xueling both looked at each other. Only Cheng Ying and Zhao Ping reacted indifferently. Until the other party sat on the sofa, Zhao Ping asked without hesitation: "How is it?"
"Gudu, Gudu."
"call."
Seeing the bespectacled man asking, opposite Chen Xiaoyao, who was holding a tea cup and drinking heavily, decisively stopped filling, exhaled, wiped his mouth casually, and finally lowered his voice and replied in a mysterious tone: "It seems that Cheng Ying said last night The rule argument was indeed true. One afternoon, I inspected dozens of houses and hundreds of corpses. As a result, the corpses were all as smooth as a knife. What was even more astonishing was that no matter which house, every There are no signs of escape or struggle anywhere at the corpse scene, it seems..."
Because he was worried about the presence of plot characters, the young man kept his voice deliberately lowered when he spoke. At this point, he paused and his tone became more and more weird: "It seems that as everyone analyzed earlier, all the residents of the small town died instantly, all in an instant. From a living person to a broken corpse in the blink of an eye!"
As Chen Xiaoyao spoke truthfully and the test was completely completed, at this moment, everyone present felt chills running down their spines and muscles in their calves. Even Chen Xiaoyao, who had originally guessed such an answer but specifically asked Chen Xiaoyao to be more certain, felt Zhao Ping, who was Xiaoyao going out for inspection, suddenly changed his face and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Then, an extremely desperate and terrifying answer emerged in everyone's mind:
That is……
The lady in pink skirt is unable to defend or resist, even if she has supernatural props, it will be useless! ! !
This is actually easy to understand, and it is not complicated to explain. The key point is that it is sudden, too sudden. Yes, through the narrations of Liu Dong and others, the executor is now aware of Nvqi’s killing methods, although Nvqi is deciding whether to kill someone. When killing someone, he will deliberately let the victim see him in advance, and there will be an ultimatum in between. He will not kill the victim until the third time. However, the problem is that the third fatal blow is completely unknown. When it comes, the time is not fixed, it may be a few minutes, half an hour, or even hours later. Once attacked, the attacked person will be killed instantly in just tenths of a second. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a pile of corpses.
Fast, very fast, which means that when you see the female locust for the third time, you will be dead.
You will be torn apart in just a tenth of a second.
Tenth of a second is far longer than human reaction time, and even exceeds the fastest neural reaction of all living creatures in the world.
what does that mean?
It means death. It is certain to die. There is no possibility of resistance at all. The chance of survival is zero and the chance of death is 100%!
As for supernatural props, various types of props to repel locusts and ward off evil spirits...
It's useless. Even if the executor has props, he can't protect himself. After all, no matter what the function of the props, most of them can only be effective after being taken out. Some people may say that it's a big deal to take them out in advance, but there is still one thing that must not be forgotten, that is Any prop has a limit on the number of times it can be used and how long it can last. For a simple example, if you take out the prop in advance but don't attack you, then your opportunity to use the prop this time will undoubtedly be wasted, not to mention that some props can be used beyond a certain limit. The effect will be lost after the time limit. However, if you do not take out the props in advance, then when you see the turtle for the third time, you will be dead in an instant, without any time or chance to take out the props.
If you take out the props in advance, you may not come. When you see the props but it's too late, it's a dilemma. It's a complete dilemma. If you think about it carefully, it's horrifying!
After thinking for a long time, unexpectedly, the final result was death anyway!
And this is the real reason why many senior people are frightened.
Although everyone has guessed from Zhang Qifeng's reaction that Qi's next killing target should be this person, and it is basically confirmed that Qi is a regular killing, and will only take the executioner's turn after killing all the white-collar workers, the question is, is there any difference? ? Does it make sense? Don’t forget that the time limit for this supernatural mission is 7 days, and it’s only the second day of the mission. If we don’t find a solution or a way out as soon as possible, the executor will also die after Liu Dong’s group dies. ? The only difference is that you die early and die later. The final result will not change, and the ending of group destruction will not change. Moreover, according to the experience of veterans in past missions, the closer the deadline is to the last day of the supernatural mission, the more frequent and fierce the attacks will be. Even if There are a lot of plot characters and executors, but Qi still has the ability to kill everyone before the last day comes.
Based on the above arguments, combined with clues and guesses, after some thinking, the veteran came to the conclusion:
That is to say, although the mantis kills according to the rules and notifies the victim in advance before killing, the executioner is still powerless against this killing method.
For a moment, everyone in the living room was enveloped in a feeling of despair, leaving Zhao Ping, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, Qian Xueling and Chen Xiaoyao at a loss.
As the saying goes, the development of the situation is unexpected, and the sudden change is unexpected. In the living room, when the few executors who discovered the truth were silent for a while and were depressed, one side of the corner...
"Uh, ah, no, don't..."
Suddenly, Zhang Qifeng stirred. He had been sitting in a corner in a daze, and he stood up suddenly as if he had seen some kind of terrifying scene, and suddenly left his seat. After that, he was trembling while looking forward, looking to the left side of the living room. Somewhere, he was speaking incoherently, vibrating frequently, and the whole person looked like he was frightened!
Ding!
Noticing Zhang Qifeng's abnormality, the executor was startled at first, then stood up and turned around, following Zhang Qifeng's gaze to the left side of the living room, but...
Nothing at all.
No matter how they looked, there was nothing on the left side of the living room except for a few stools and a refrigerator nearby.
But Zhang Qifeng still stared ahead, his eyes full of fear!
………
Outside the window, the waning moon that had been visible for a long time once again hid itself from the clouds, making the already dark world even darker.
In the living room, everyone was startled by Zhang Qifeng's sudden abnormality. They stood up immediately, became vigilant, and immediately observed each other.
As for Zhang Qifeng...
The pockmarked man was in a state of fear, shrouded in unprecedented fear. He was frightened and at a loss. His frightened eyes were staring ahead, and there was a woman standing a few meters in front of him!
It was none other than the woman in the pink skirt he had seen in the toilet in the morning!
At this moment, the woman in the pink skirt appeared out of thin air again, motionless, frozen in place, just staring at herself. The situation was exactly the same as in the morning.
the second time. A few hours later, the other party appeared in front of me again.
Zhang Qifeng was scared, so scared that he couldn't be more frightened. Of course, he was not scared now, but he had been frightened ever since he met the woman in a pink skirt in the toilet. He was in a state of fear for the next whole day. Yes, he He was not an idiot. After the initial death of Ma Zhilong, he had already vaguely realized that his situation was not good. However, he did not tell others about it and chose to keep it secret because he was worried about what his companions would do if they knew about it. He thought he was being pestered and drove him away. After all, they had worked together in the same company for many years. He naturally knew a lot about what kind of people Liu Dong and the others were, especially Fang Min. Once he found out, he would definitely encourage others to make trouble for him. .
pity……
So what if I don't say it? What was supposed to come finally came, and what he had feared and worried about finally happened. After the morning, at night, the weird woman in the pink skirt appeared in front of him for the second time. Although the woman never attacked him from beginning to end, Just staring at himself, but he still knew that Ma Zhilong had described a similar scene before, and that Lao Ma had turned into a pile of corpses not long after seeing the woman in pink skirt twice in succession!
Xu realized that the woman in the pink skirt could not move or attack, and suddenly came to his senses. Zhang Qifeng finally discovered that there were several people present in the living room besides himself. As expected, these people were following his gaze and looking at the opposite side, staring at the pink skirt. The woman's location.
"You, can you see it?"
Seeing this, something suddenly occurred to him in a hurry. While trembling, Zhang Qifeng asked Zhao Ping and others a question, asking if they could see women as well as he did. However, in exchange, the people opposite him shook their heads collectively.
Yes, Zhao Ping and the others did tell the truth. Maybe there was something in Zhang Qifeng's eyes, but they couldn't see anything at all. It was too late to say it, but it was quick to confirm that they couldn't see anything. , thinking in her mind, Cheng Ying hurriedly asked Zhang Qifeng: "Did you see it? Tell us what you saw?"
"It's a woman, a barefoot woman in a pink dress!"
Sure enough, Zhang Qifeng's answer was as everyone expected. It was indeed this pink-skirted lady. The only thing that surprised people was...
Unexpectedly, they couldn't see the female locust?
Could it be that only Zhang Qifeng, who was given a death notice, could see it?
Although the above were the first thoughts that several people had after receiving the other party's answer, Chen Xiaoyao still acted as if he did not believe in evil. He quickly took out a red silver leaf from his arms and then dabbed it on his eyelids. However, After Yin Ye took it away, Chen Xiaoyao's earlier surprise turned into a look of shock.
Can't see, still can't see, even if I wipe my eyes with a silver willow leaf stained with black dog's blood, I still can't see the female cockroach.
Not only that, seeing that the silver leaf was ineffective, the young man suddenly thought of another result that made him even more frightened. That is, the several detection-type Taoist charms he had posted in the living room earlier seemed to have no response.
Now she was clearly in the living room of a house, but unexpectedly the Taoist Talisman showed no response from the beginning to the end.
Why?
Why can't I see the hawksbill when I wipe my eyes with a willow leaf? And why can't the special Taoist talismans used to detect worms not sense the existence of worms! ?
how so?
It's impossible. After all, the above two methods are both Taoist methods that have been passed down for a long time. There will be no fakes. Not only will there be no fakes, they have been personally tested countless times in the past.
At the same time, leaving aside Chen Xiaoyao's psychological activities, at this moment, under the gaze of Zhang Qifeng, after standing and staring for a long time, the woman in the pink skirt finally moved and made the same unremarkable gesture as in the morning:
He slowly raised his right arm and made a downward gesture toward Zhang Qifeng. He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly. The next second, the woman disappeared.
This was the second time that Zhang Qifeng saw a woman, and it was also the second time that a woman made strange gestures to him.
Plop!
After the woman disappeared, Zhang Qifeng stared blankly for a moment, and then half a minute later, his legs went limp and his butt collapsed on the ground. The long-standing expression of horror turned into despair and tears at the moment he collapsed on the ground. His eyes welled up involuntarily, because he knew...
I'm going to die! ! !
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Tears welled up, and the weeping continued.
Seeing Zhang Qifeng's reaction, the executioners all speculated that the girl had left. Even so, the desperate look of the pock-marked man still made everyone's hearts tremble. Even Zhang Qifeng himself realized that he was in danger.
In order to prevent the man's louder cries from reaching the two bedrooms, Zhao Ping moved after a few seconds and walked to Zhang Qifeng first. He seemed to have accepted his fate. Zhang Qifeng ignored him and stood in front of him, looking down at him. The bespectacled man was still crying with tears streaming down his face, and his nose was full of tears. His despair was evident on his face. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he was trembling with fear of his upcoming fate. However, just as he opened his mouth wide, he was about to speak loudly. As he was crying, for some reason, the crying stopped and stopped suddenly.
reason?
The reason is very simple, it lies beside him, and it is because the man with glasses just said something to him in a calm tone, and it was this sentence that directly caused Zhang Qifeng's crying to stop abruptly.
"We might be able to save you."
………
What does it feel like to see hope in despair?
It was just an ordinary word, but it was equivalent to a life-saving straw for Zhang Qifeng, who was already desperate and afraid of death!
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Ping said this, the pock-marked man not only stopped crying on the spot and was stunned, but then stood up suddenly like a madman, stretched out his hands and grabbed the glasses man's shoulders, and asked in a nervous tone: "Save me? Can you? Save me? You...are you telling the truth? Can you not let me die!? Really? Is this true?"
Looking at the other person's face that was almost touching his nose, Zhao Ping was expressionless. He first stretched out his hand to push the other person away, then nodded and replied: "Yes, it's true."
As he spoke, Zhao Ping turned around and pointed at Chen Xiaoyao behind him and continued: "Have you seen this person? He is a Taoist priest. Even though this person looks unlucky, he is indeed a Maoshan Taoist priest who knows how to drive away worms and evil spirits. , so if you want to survive, I advise you to do as I ask."
Zhang Qifeng hurriedly looked at Chen Xiaoyao along the glasses man's fingers. Chen Xiaoyao was stunned at first. Then, he, Cheng Ying and others noticed that Zhao Ping's eyes were slightly condensed, and he secretly winked at everyone.
