After saying that, without waiting for the other party to reply, He Fei turned around and returned to the room. It was obvious that the young man motioned for the newcomer to follow, but unfortunately... because they were too frightened, the three people on the opposite side, including Smith, did not move from beginning to end. , just like that, they all stared ahead with fearful eyes, staring at the strange room that looked like it was a fake door, but there was a cave inside.
Until Peng Hu made all moves, until the bald man strode closer and urged loudly: "Why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry in!?"
In the end, under Peng Hu's repeated intimidation, under the silent gaze of other enforcers, and with a rough mood, Wang Yuxiang, Han Meili and black Smith had no choice but to walk up and walk towards He Fei's room. As for the bald man , perhaps because he was a little worried, he urged a few people, but the man did not leave and walked into the room with the three of them.
During the process, everyone's eyes were fixed on Smith, whether it was Peng Hu or the people behind him.
………
Watching Peng Hu and the newcomer enter He Fei's room, as the door closed, the remaining executors still in the carriage fell into a heated discussion on the spot.
"Hey, have you seen that, black man! Oh my god, I didn't expect foreigners to appear on the train one day. How interesting!"
It’s no wonder that Chen Xiaoyao was still the first to gossip. In fact, the young man had already been excited when he first saw the gringo among the newcomers. It was just that he had been holding back his words earlier. Now that the other party left, Chen Xiaoyao How can you bear it? He immediately started talking, and then described his personal surprise to everyone around him.
Seeing Chen Xiaoyao's excited look, Yao Fujiang couldn't help but taunt him: "Tch, look at your country bumpkin appearance, I guess you have never seen foreigners before, right? Oh, by the way, it seems that no one has stipulated that the cursed space cannot enter foreign countries. People, since there is no such rule, it’s not surprising that a foreigner comes occasionally, right?”
Yao Fujiang's rhetorical narration really did not wrong Chen Xiaoyao. Since he had been living with his master in a Taoist temple in the mountains before, he had never been to a big city let alone a foreigner. Of course, this is not the point. The point is just now. The words at the end of Yao Fujiang caught the attention of Zhao Ping. Yes, as the flat-headed young man said at the end, no one has stipulated that those who enter the cursed space must be from country Z. Not only that, this statement also reminded him of a certain Deep issues.
It was a pity that the man with glasses did not talk about the matter to others, but continued to remain silent. After more than ten seconds, he turned around and returned to his personal room without saying a word. Under the influence of this, Qian Xueling suddenly felt bored after Zhao Ping left. After leaving, only Yao Fujiang, Chen Xiaoyao and Gao Jikun were left in the carriage.
Perhaps he was really bored today. Seeing everyone leaving one after another, and seeing that Yao Fujiang and Gao Jikun were also planning to return, Chen Xiaoyao suddenly became anxious and hurriedly stopped the two of them behind him, then opened his mouth and asked expectantly: "Hey, Wait, why are you guys leaving, Brother Fu Jiang and Brother Gao? Anyway, there’s nothing to do now, why don’t you come to my room and play a few games of Emperor Lord?”
"I see you are so idle. What fun is there in Fighting the Emperor? I would rather play computer games if I have that time."
The young Taoist priest was full of expectations, but unfortunately his invitation was rejected by both of them. Gao Jikun had always looked worried since he talked with He Fei a few days ago. Regarding the young man's invitation, the fat man declined politely, while Yao Fujiang could He was not so polite. He refused directly and sternly, and then deliberately dropped a personal attack.
A minute later, Chen Xiaoyao was the only one left in Car No. 3.
"Fuck! No one will play with me anymore!"
Looking at the empty corridor, Taoist Chen muttered with displeasure on his face.
………
At 19:03 at night, Car No. 3 of the Hell Train.
The camera passes through the door and enters a certain room. Looking closely, He Fei is sitting alone on the sofa in the living room.
The college student was silent for a long time without moving, his eyes were slightly lost in thought, staring at the coffee table not knowing what he was thinking about.
Undoubtedly, according to the rules of the train, when receiving newcomers during the day, he knew everything and talked about everything. Except for a few secrets that were inconvenient to talk about, other matters such as the cursed space, the hell train and the supernatural mission were all described to the three newcomers. As the narration continued, Finally, after learning the truth, the high school student named Wang Yuxiang and the fat aunt named Han Meili both showed fear and despair as expected, but the basketball player named Smith reacted strangely, as if listening to a book from heaven. , with a confused look on his face, as if he didn’t understand what He Fei was describing at all. Of course, faced with such a result, He Fei didn’t bother to explain in detail. After all, he was the captain, not the nanny, and the only thing he needed to do was to do his best. It was just the captain's duty. After confirming that everything that needed to be said had been said, Peng Hu followed the young man's instructions and led the newcomers out of the room.
As the new couple left, the welcoming work was over. There was no doubt that he would do whatever he wanted to do next. However, the strange thing was that He Fei did not move in the next few hours. He neither exercised as a habit nor walked out casually. Instead, he sat in the living room. In the living room, he leaned on the sofa and frowned.
Hours passed before I knew it.
until……
After more than ten seconds, He Fei stopped his contemplation, stood up and left his seat, opened the door and walked into the carriage with a solemn expression. Finally, he went straight to a certain door and knocked on the door with his hand.
squeak.
After a while, the door opened, and a man with glasses appeared in front of He Fei. As soon as the two sides met, before the college student could speak, the man with glasses took the lead and said calmly: "It's a little later than I expected."
As soon as these words came out, He Fei hesitated for a moment, then stared at the other person as if he had some realization and said hesitantly: "Could it be that... you also noticed that thing?"
The man with glasses nodded affirmatively with an expressionless face: "Yes, but I haven't reached a conclusion yet."
After saying these words, for a moment, I don't know if he noticed it, but Zhao Ping's originally calm face suddenly condensed, staring at He Fei and asking: "Huh? Is it possible that you have thought of something?"
He Fei nodded affirmatively.
"Maybe you and I should have a talk about this."
The environment of the living room is elegant and the room is neat and orderly, which really fits the gentle and elegant image of the man with glasses.
Staring at the dignified faces across the sofa and looking at each other for a moment, Zhao Ping first said calmly: "I haven't fully figured out the problem yet, so I want to hear your personal views and your personal conclusions first."
As mentioned many times in the past, smart people often don't like nonsense, and they are accustomed to speaking outright about many things. Yes, Zhao Ping admitted that he is not very good at analyzing the details of problems, and he is very pragmatic, so In front of He Fei, there was no need for him to tell the other party some personal analysis that he was not sure about. Instead, he chose to go straight to the point and directly ask the other party for the analysis results.
As soon as he finished speaking, He Fei understood instantly as expected. He understood what the man with glasses wanted to ask? Even the other party's earlier thoughts can be vaguely guessed, and the explanation is not complicated. That is, although Zhao Ping is aware of a certain problem like himself and analyzes it like him, the other party's analysis progress does not seem to be as fast as his. It's not like he has a general conclusion. As the man with glasses just said, he is indeed much faster than Zhao Ping in his analysis. He has basically reached the answer quickly. The reason why he came to Zhao Ping now is just to think about it. Discuss with the other person to confirm the reasonableness of their guess.
Facing He Fei, Zhao Ping asked truthfully, but...
Somewhat surprisingly, the young man answered, but it was not as eloquent as he expected. He just said two simple words:
"area."
After hearing this, Zhao Ping hesitated for a moment, while He Fei was very direct and did not show off. He frowned and directly announced the answer: "I think... the execution team in the cursed space should be divided by region!"
Yes, what He Fei just said would definitely cause an uproar and be very explosive if heard by others. In addition, He Fei's inference is not groundless, or when he first saw the foreigner named Smith, He Fei Fei immediately noticed a problem, a problem that had been ignored by him, Zhao Ping and even the entire team from beginning to end, and that was...
Why are all the executioners on the train from China Z?
Why is it that all newcomers who board the train are from the Z country from beginning to end?
Why?
Strictly speaking, this is not a problem. It is also an issue that is most easily ignored. It belongs to inertial thinking. After all, country Z is different from other countries in the world. Country Z has a vast territory and a large population. Even though there are many ethnic groups in the country, everyone can Basically, they all have yellow skin and black eyes. It is conceivable that in such a big environment, except for some border areas, most Chinese people are unlikely to have long-term contact with foreigners. This will cause foreigners to lose touch with the common sense of Chinese people. It also causes Chinese people to subconsciously regard the people around them as the same as themselves. Under this subconscious influence, people will not think too much, let alone care about foreigners.
By analogy, even if you are the executor, even if you are in the cursed space, this kind of inertial thinking still exists. In addition, all the newcomers who board the train have yellow skin and dark eyes. The final result is undoubtedly the long-term continuation of the inertial thinking, which makes the executor take it for granted that ordinary people are ordinary. Entrants, regardless of age or gender, are the same as me. To be honest, even He Fei has never gotten rid of this kind of thinking, let alone paid much attention to it, until...
To this day, it was not until the black man named Smith got on the bus that He Fei completely broke this inertial thinking. Not only that, while He Fei broke the inertial thinking, he also came to a conclusion based on personal analysis, that is, the theory of damning spatial and regional divisions. .
"I once met someone during a captain assessment mission, a female acting captain from another executive team. She called herself Aoki Sami. Although she looks like us, with yellow skin and black eyes, I can still hear something unique from the name. Non-Z people should have names."
As He Fei narrated his personal experience, Zhao Ping's expression gradually changed as he listened. After all, He Fei had never told anyone about the details of the captain's assessment mission before. If what the other party said was true, then Doesn't it mean...
Out of his understanding of men, when he saw the change in the bespectacled man's expression, there was no need for Zhao Ping to ask. After a pause, He Fei continued:
"It is conceivable that since everyone knows that we are not the only execution team in Cursed Space, who are the people in the other teams? Indeed, our team is all composed of people from the country Z, so what about the people in the other teams? Are they all from country Z like us? Not necessarily. I doubt this very much. In addition, I have met Saoki Aoki and all the evidence combined..."
At this point, He Fei's eyes suddenly condensed, staring at Zhao Ping and said: "Based on the above arguments, I finally came to the conclusion that I believe that every executive team of Cursed Space is composed of people from different countries or different regions!"
Looking at the surprised expression on Zhao Ping's face, he touched his chin, and He Fei once again added in a concluding tone:
"If what I expected is correct, our seventh execution team represents...country Z!"
………
The world is very big. The world is composed of countries, and most of the countries are composed of unified civilizations or similar civilizations. As for civilizations, they often occupy more or less certain areas. Within the area, the human race is basically the same. For thousands of years, people have also We have long been accustomed to people of the same race coming into contact with each other. If a foreigner occasionally appears, people will subconsciously look around with curiosity. At worst, they will take a few more glances.
I have never understood why the cursed space exists, let alone what the significance of its existence is. Currently, I know that there is more than one execution team, and the team I am in is composed of people from country Z. Out of inertial thinking, at first I did not Pay more attention. It wasn’t until foreigners appeared on the train that I cared about it for the first time. It was the first time I cared about a certain deep-seated issue and focused on analyzing and making guesses in detail, such as...
How many executive teams are there in total?
Is it true that every executive team is composed of people from different countries or civilizations?
If the above guess is correct, then...
I may have basically figured out the selection mechanism of Curse. It is not randomly selected from all over the world, but randomly selected within the civilized area, and the selected ones are finally sent to the team of their own civilization.
The best example is Smith. The opponent was obviously an American, but unexpectedly he entered the team in the Chinese region. Before that, the opponent had just arrived in country Z!
I gradually had an ominous premonition...
Curse, what do you want to do? What is your ultimate goal?
………
Time passes slowly, and the mentality gradually becomes depressed.
There is no doubt that with the addition of three new people, the total number of people on the train has reached 11, which is close to full capacity. Of course, this is not the point. The senior people have never cared about the number of people. What really matters to everyone is The law, the law that has appeared countless times, the irresistible law, that is, every time a new person gets on the bus, as the next day comes, the curse will inevitably release a new round of supernatural tasks.
The above arguments are not only summarized by He Fei, but also the consensus reached by everyone in the team.
So naturally, as the night passed and the mission rest period officially entered 10 days, He Fei got up early in the morning and quickly packed up. As soon as he had breakfast, as expected, the ticket that had been kept in his trouser pocket was gone. Vibrates on its own without warning!
At the same time, in Wang Yuxiang’s room in Car No. 3...
The bedroom was empty and dead, and his pupils gradually shrank, staring straight down, at his right hand, at the ticket that had just brought him the desperate news.
The supernatural mission has started to be released. All executors are asked to go to Car No. 1 to check the mission details. Those who do not go within 30 minutes will be deemed to have given up the mission, and those who give up the mission will be erased.
After browsing the information notifications, he stared at the skeleton ticket in his hand that represented him. At this moment, Wang Yuxiang's fingers were trembling, then his arms, then his body, and finally his whole body was shaking frequently, as if he was being blown by the cold wind. He changed color and trembled wildly. For a moment, the high school student fell into fear and was wrapped in the sudden fear.
(It’s mandatory. It’s actually mandatory. I have to go. If I don’t go, I will die immediately. But, if I go... can I survive? The captain named He Fei said that all the worms in the supernatural mission are very... It’s terrifying and everyone kills people without blinking an eye... I don’t want to go, I really don’t want to go...)
Yes, because He Fei continued Ye Wei's style when he was in office, whenever he explained the general situation to newcomers boarding the train, he would describe it meticulously and carefully. Although he was very detailed, he basically would not say anything to comfort the newcomers during the period. The reason for allowing the other party to be afraid and panicked was Ye Wei, and Ye Wei explained to him why he did not comfort the newcomers. The other party once said that the mentality of the newcomers was a hurdle for the newcomers who boarded the train for the first time. If the newcomers could suppress their fear, then the first A hurdle will pass. If even this hurdle cannot be passed, due to poor psychological quality for a long time, even if some people are lucky enough to survive a mission, they will die sooner or later and die of self-fear, just like Ye Wei did. He Yefei, who had just joined, remained silent when he told the truth and was not relieved. He Yefei still does this now.
Facing the upcoming task, Wang Yuxiang was frightened when he thought of Qi.
Next door, another room.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Go, there are ants in the mission..."
Accompanied by bursts of crying, mixed with snot and tears, the ticket was thrown on the ground by Han Meili. Han Meili herself also lay down on the bed and cried loudly. If you look closely, you will find that the middle-aged aunt is very haggard and has tears streaming down her face. At the same time, her sobs had already echoed throughout the room. She was very sad. Not only was she crying very sadly, her miserable and desperate look was infecting the environment and affecting the atmosphere all the time. It was enough to make everyone sad, smell and cry. Overall The picture is full of pain and sorrow.
Unfortunately, this is of no use.
The mission notification did not disappear because Han Meili cried, and the curse did not prevent her from participating in the supernatural mission because of pity for her. The ticket with the mandatory mission notification still stimulated the woman's fragile nerves all the time.
However, there are always exceptions.
Not all newcomers are as trembling and fearful as Wang Yuxiang, nor are they like Han Meili, who despairs or is on the verge of collapse after receiving the mission notice. The scene shifts to, at this moment, basketball player Smith's room.
"This is so cool! Oh! This is so cool! Not only can this person get everything in his room, but this little train ticket can also move by itself, and text can appear on it? It's amazing, it's amazing!"
living room.
Ignoring the steak on the table and forgetting to continue eating, the black man was muttering to himself, holding the ticket in his hand and expressing surprise with exaggerated movements. It was obvious that, like others, Smith, who was eating leisurely, was also startled by the ticket in his trouser pocket. His body trembled and he hurriedly took it out. The only thing that was unexpected was...
After browsing the mission notice, Smith's dark face showed not only no fear but a hint of expectation.
"Hyper? What exactly is a hay? Does it mean a ghost? Well, that's probably what it means. No matter what, just go and take a look."
"Ah, I almost forgot."
The soliloquy ended. The next moment, Smith became busy. He didn't care to continue eating. He hurriedly ran to the locker in the bedroom and started to put on clothes.
A few minutes later, a standard suit and a pair of shiny leather shoes were put on Smith. Then he ran to the floor-length mirror and observed his appearance while picking up cologne and spraying it on a few times. Yes, influenced by European and American culture, in Smith's personal impression He believed that a ghost was a person who was translucent and could escape through walls. He often looked like a human being, dressed well and behaved like a gentleman. He could even have friendly conversations with humans. He thought that in a short time, he would be able to interact with the legendary Smith was so excited to meet the ghost that he had to dress up no matter what.
Because Smith is a basketball player, although the process is tedious and busy, the action is relatively fast and completed in a moment. After getting dressed and dressed, with curiosity, Smith opened the door and ran as fast as he could. Car No. 1 is actually correct. Although he has never been to country Z and doesn’t know much about Eastern culture, he still understands the ticket and the end. At least he understands that those who don’t go within 30 minutes at the end of the ticket will be forfeited. 'What does it mean?
………
On the other hand, if most newcomers are still surprised by the mission notification, then the seniors are all convinced of it. Not only are they convinced, but they are also ready to leave as soon as they receive the notification, and they pack their bags one after another. After many missions, everyone already knew what to do. Even Gao Jikun, who had only experienced one mission, was very understanding and prepared in a hurry.
He seems to have a calm mind and seems to be coping well. However, if you observe the fat man closely and look at the face of Gao Jikun who is fully dressed, you will find that... the man's seemingly calm face always carries a trace of entanglement and a trace of twitching. , a trace of lingering nervousness and fear.
As early as last night, like several newcomers, he received a notice from He Fei, informing him that a supernatural mission was very likely to be released this morning. In addition, the other party also told him the name of the mission and the difficulty level. Some people might think this after seeing this. The fat man is afraid of the supernatural mission, but unfortunately, this is not the case, let alone the real reason why Gao Jikun is currently entangled and fearful. The real reason is...
He has lost his support and help. He doesn't know who he should rely on in the supernatural mission!
