Different from being trapped in the corridor earlier, this time I am trapped for real. I am trapped in a steel cage that is not an illusion. No matter how hard you think, you can't rely on analysis and reasoning to escape.
Who in the world can break through an elevator door with their own strength? Unless you are a person with super powers in YY, it is impossible for normal humans.
Just as He Fei was looking around the elevator anxiously, a voice came from beside him:
"You...who are you?"
Perhaps more than ten minutes of silence made Lan Keer sober up a little. Gradually, the girl gradually broke away from her confusion and panic. She instinctively looked to her side and looked at the strange young man who had saved her earlier. Finally, she mustered up the courage to ask curiously. .
She was indeed curious. Not only did the other party have the same oriental face as her, but she also looked about the same age as her. In addition, the other party had saved her twice. Combined with all these things, the girl would be lying if she said she was not curious. .
For example, who is the other party? Why stay in a hotel? And why would he risk everything to save himself?
Unfortunately, Lan Keer was disappointed. Faced with the inquiry, the young man neither paid attention nor answered. His mouth was still twitching and his brows were furrowed as before. He stared at the elevator and occasionally pressed the button tentatively. However, as the observation continued, A certain detail was noticed by Lan Keer.
In the field of vision, the young man's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
"Can you answer my question? Who are you?"
Seeing that the other party ignored her for a long time, Lan Keer gritted his teeth, increased his volume, and repeated the question to the young man.
The hard work paid off, and finally, perhaps because of the louder voice, the young man reacted, turning his head suddenly like a person who suddenly woke up from sleep, and looked straight at him.
The girl was a little frightened by the sudden stare from the young man. Fortunately, she knew that the other person would not hurt her. She wanted to continue talking, but the other person spoke before her without hesitation.
"My name is He Fei."
………
He Fei briefly answered Lan Ke'er's question using his personal name and said nothing after that. After hearing this answer, how could Lan Ke'er be willing to give up? Driven by curiosity, the girl asked tentatively: "So are you also Chinese? American Chinese?"
He Fei shook his head and explained: "No, I am from country Z, an ordinary tourist. Logically speaking, I should be studying in college like you."
Logically speaking?
Receiving this slightly unexpected answer, it seemed that there was an intriguing meaning in it. The girl hesitated for a moment and stopped talking. It was not that she didn't want to get to the bottom of things, but she could hear a trace of helplessness and helplessness in the other party's words. It's like recalling some unbearable past events, which makes people lament and sigh.
"Thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen into the tank and drowned."
As a Chinese college student, Lan Ke'er's good education allowed her to be able to detect the other person's emotions to a sufficient level. Seeing the young man's attitude of not saying much, the girl understood the interest, so she stopped asking questions and just expressed gratitude. He Fei expressed his gratitude.
Of course, none of the above is the focus. The focus is on the current situation. Currently, she and the young man named He Fei are both trapped in the elevator. Although she can't figure out the cause and effect from beginning to end, and she can't figure out the crisis from beginning to end, she But he clearly knew what he had encountered and experienced earlier, such as the weird scene that seemed real and fake, the inexplicable and clever suicide by diving, and the manicure chase just now. Combining the above, gradually, A flash of enlightenment emerged in the girl's daze, and she managed to figure out her situation even though she still couldn't figure out the cause of the situation.
That is……
There is a bug in the hotel!
There is a terrifying evil spirit that is the most widely circulated in Eastern legends. The evil spirit is the huge woman's head. Nvha originally wanted to kill herself, but unexpectedly at the critical moment, an Oriental young man named He Fei appeared in front of her and saved her. She used some strange method that she couldn't understand to pull herself back from the abyss of death. Later, both of them were chased by female hawks. At this moment, she and the other party were still in extreme danger because they were trapped. Live, enclosed here by this weird elevator.
Faced with the girl's sincere thanks, He Fei didn't take it seriously. As described earlier, he was impatient and uneasy, and now he couldn't be in the mood to chat with her. He pointed at the closed elevator, and then reminded the girl: "You You've all seen that the current situation is very critical, and I don't have time to explain so much to you. That's fine. I'm going to think about it for a while now. Don't disturb me. You just need to know that I will try my best to ensure your safety. Understand?"
Listening to the serious words, and seeing the anxious expression on the young man's face, Lan Ke'er didn't doubt that he was there and nodded obediently.
He Fei turned his head and kept silent. He was completely silent and kept his eyes fixed on the door, seemingly wanting to return to his previous state of deep thinking.
but……
When he turned back again and looked at the tightly closed iron door of the elevator in front of him, for some reason, a sudden and strong fear suddenly swept through his body, making him shiver.
reason?
There is no reason, it just comes from consciousness, from human subconscious intuition, a feeling of loneliness and tension that arises instinctively due to long-term influence from external information.
Looking at the walls on both sides, staring at the upper and lower ceilings, looking around, feeling the small and enclosed environment, He Fei unconsciously thought of many scenes, including the elevator scenes he had seen in various horror movies. According to folk saying, The elevator is not a good place. Intuitively speaking, it is just an iron coffin. It is no less scary than the toilet. Many horror stories about people with noses and eyes often happen in elevators. He Fei has no idea whether the folklore is credible or not. However, he still did not expect that one day he would actually be trapped in an iron coffin.
Fortunately, He Fei does not have claustrophobia, and the above thoughts only come from intuitive insights. Fear is fear, at least not to the extent that it interferes with thoughts and affects analysis. Lan Keer's situation is similar, and it is also not to the point of being restless and only focusing on fear. , this is the best proof that the girl can quickly recover from fear. The reason is easy to explain. Although the girl is Chinese, she was born and raised abroad and has little understanding of Eastern culture. In fact, strictly speaking, she is blue. There is not much difference between Kerr and the black man Smith who is currently on the fifth floor. Both of them know nothing about supernatural culture, so they have been in a state of ignorance for a long time. This state has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that when facing things that cannot be understood, They will not immediately think about worms like Easterners do, and they will be much calmer. The disadvantage still comes from the lack of understanding. Because of the lack of understanding of supernatural culture, once they are suddenly attacked by a spirit, they are often at a loss or even confused. Unable to cope with it, the outcome can be imagined.
Let's get back to the topic, let's not talk about the current situation of the elevator or the thing itself. Staring at the closed elevator, getting rid of random thoughts, He Fei gradually concentrated his thoughts and gradually got on the right track.
(There is no way to the sky, and the earth is extremely small. The space is narrow and small. It seems that I will not be able to get out for a while. Well, after observing and encountering for a whole day, I found that the female scorpion has great magical powers. She can not only create human-shaped black shadows out of thin air, but also It can cast illusions to control humans, but what impressed me most was the opponent's ability to block. Its principle is also the most complicated of all the supernatural blocks I have encountered so far. You can't break free without understanding the logical principles. In addition, the female locust also has spatial ability, and can even teleport instantly without human beings noticing. I admit that this ability is absolutely incredible. However, judging from the actual results, its spatial ability should not be fully utilized. Maybe Just as I guessed earlier, the overall strength of the female dragon is restricted by some vague rules, so she can only exert half of her strength. If her strength is half used, her spatial ability will naturally be reduced by half. Otherwise, the female turtle would have already relied on her spatial ability without hesitation. Killing all the executors quickly, there is no need to deliberately separate them and kill them. As I expected, due to restrictions, the female wolf should not be able to directly use her space ability to kill people in this mission.)
………
Thoughts are flowing quickly and deeply, and the brain is running at high speed.
At this moment, in a completely enclosed elevator, He Fei was sitting in the corner with his head bowed silently. Next to him sat Lan Ke'er. Because the young man had previously told him not to disturb him, so despite the silence and fear, the girl was still Maintaining silence and basically calmness, he stayed aside in silence, occasionally scanning the elevator environment with vigilant eyes.
At this moment silence becomes the subject and deathly silence becomes the dominant one.
It's a pity that no matter how quiet it is, all the above are just appearances, just superficial phenomena. In fact, what is hidden under He Fei's calm appearance is turbulent. Countless mysteries and doubts are flooding into his mind at this moment, almost filling his mind. Of course, strictly speaking, this information can't stump him. What's really scary is that the information is incomplete, or it can simply be understood that all the clues collected so far are incomplete. Countless incomplete information gathers in the mind, which ultimately leads to the suspension of analysis and train of thought. The congestion even made He Fei's head hurt more and more.
After pondering this point, the face becomes increasingly complex and the expression becomes tangled.
"Woo..."
Suddenly, He Fei couldn't help but growl and put his hand to his forehead.
This action shocked Lan Ke'er, and she couldn't understand what happened to the young man.
"Hey, are you okay? Didn't I say you were thinking of a solution? You are..."
Listening to the concerned inquiry, He Fei still didn't raise his head. He just waved his hand to signal the girl not to panic, and then fell into deep thought again.
(He Fei, He Fei... You have to be calm, you have to keep your breath. This mission is extraordinary, and the creature inside is such a powerful earth-bound spirit. It is impossible to fight against the female hawk, so why? Our current plan can only focus on finding a way out. Once we can't find a way out, the team will inevitably end up wiped out. He Fei, you can do it! Don't give up. Analysis and reasoning are your strengths. As long as you can calm down and calm down. Sort it out slowly, and I believe you will find valuable clues and even important keys! Well, okay... Let's start now, the team will report and analyze the information currently known...)
(Currently, it is known that female slugs have many abilities, but they mainly rely on barrier sealing and physical attacks to kill people. During this period, they also use certain spatial abilities as assistance. Regarding these three abilities, there is no doubt that physical attacks are the final means of killing, and the other two This ability belongs to limiting the range of prey activities. As for hallucination control... the female locust has only used it on Lan Ke'er, which does not rule out the possibility of using it on the executor. The biggest doubt at present is the female locust itself, or the female locust's body. Who is it? Through the mission information, we can first of all determine that the female turtle will not take action in person. After all, the mission information has clearly stated that the female turtle is in a state of disguise. Once disguised, it is impossible for the female turtle to take action in person, otherwise 'she' The moment the action is taken, the executor can identify the identity of the creature on the spot according to the mission requirements, and in this way the mission will be successfully completed and immediately ended. No wonder, no wonder, no wonder the creature in this supernatural mission is obviously extremely powerful, and is obviously a The terrifying Earthbound Spirit is only close to Sadako in terms of strength, but the curse still positions it as an upper-middle class. It turns out that she is really restricted, restricted by the rules of the curse. It not only limits half of her strength, but also forces her to a certain extent to be unable to do anything. Revealing true identity, unable to take direct action against the executor!)
Yes, as the analysis gradually developed, when it reached a certain level, He Fei was confirmed, completely transforming his earlier personal speculation into the actual truth.
What is the truth? The truth is precisely restricted by the curse rules! .
In fact, it is not difficult to understand this point, as has been explained many times before, that is, the curse will never issue unsolvable tasks!
No matter what the mission level is or what the mission situation is, there will always be a way out in the mission. Sometimes there is one way out and sometimes there are multiple ways out. However, the way out is often very hidden and extremely difficult to be discovered by the executor. There is another point. It is worth mentioning that it is true that executors are often restricted by rules in supernatural missions, such as regional restrictions and time limits. All rules can often force the executor to death, but in fact everything is relative, and the executor is subject to Constraints do not mean that there are no restrictions on the executor. In some cases, in order to give the executor a chance of survival, the curse will sometimes impose restrictions on the executor. The reason is very simple. After all, it is different from the executor who is an ordinary human being. The worms are powerful and often have vast and omnipotent powers. Once there are no restrictions on the worms, there will never be a single living person in the cursed space, and it will have long since become a slaughterhouse where everyone enters and dies!
But unfortunately...
This seems to be true on the surface, but the actual situation is often unsatisfactory and mostly disappointing. What is the actual situation? The actual situation is that in most supernatural missions, the restrictions imposed by the curse on the dragon are much smaller than those on the executor. It is generally limited to a framework that leaves only a weak vitality for the executor, which is the kind that has only a glimmer of hope for survival. , and this is also the fundamental reason why the mortality rate of performers in supernatural missions is so high.
(Since the female locust's body is restricted by the rules and cannot take action personally, doesn't it mean that the giant locust head that is currently killing the guests and killing the executors in the hotel is not the female locust's true body? Well, if it is not the true body, then what is the male locust head? )
(Hallucination? No, I have learned from Peng Hu, Yao Fujiang, and Chen Xiaoyao that the wolf head can kill people, and the killing method is shocking. Once caught by the wolf head, not to mention dead, even the body cannot be left. .)
(Since the head of the female locust is not an illusion, the answer is basically certain. It is either a clone of the locust or some ability of the locust. The clone should theoretically be weaker than the main body. Facing the locust clone, the executor is likely to be killed instantly. It will also decrease, and at least there is some hope of escape. For example, when he was on the 11th floor, he and Lan Keer had a lucky escape when being chased by Haotou. However, the real doubt is not here, but...)
(If she really has the ability to clone, then why doesn't 'she' just branch out a few more heads? Wouldn't it be better to branch out a lot on each floor and then kill all the living people quickly? The opponent is, after all, extremely powerful. Even if the earth-bound spirit cannot reach the level of infinite clones like Sadako, it shouldn't be a big problem if it can be divided into dozens, hundreds or even hundreds or thousands.)
(No, no, it’s not that simple. Even if the female hawk can clone herself, she probably won’t be able to separate too many. The rules will never allow the female hawk to do whatever she wants without any restrictions. If this is the case, the supernatural mission will no longer be a mission, but a task. It’s a simple massacre with no way to survive. The executioners don’t have to fight for their lives. They can just collectively wipe their necks and commit suicide. Well... Due to the restrictions of the rules, the female hawks should not be able to separate a massive number of clones, and can only create a small number of clones. Coupled with the restrictions of the rules, The person who is currently killing people in order on the lower floor is undoubtedly the female locust's clone. The reason seems to be smooth and the logic seems reasonable. However, in fact, there is still one thing that is difficult to understand, that is... Since the female locust's clone is limited by the rules, it can only If it can be pushed upward layer by layer, how should we explain the head of a woman who can appear and appear on high floors at will?)
contradiction!
It’s really inconsistent, it’s really illogical! .
Yes, the female hawk's clone transformed into a giant head is restricted by the rules and can only kill one floor after another. But why is there another head, the second clone of the female hawk, that ignores the rules and can freely move and kill on all floors? ?
(How could this happen? Why did it become like this? It doesn’t make sense logically? Is this him...)
(Huh? Wait a minute! Difficult, can you say...)
It was like thunder exploding, like electric current passing through his body. Under the complicated thoughts that were getting more and more confusing, for some reason, He Fei's complexion changed slightly and his brain was turbulent, prompted by a certain thought.
In the elevator.
Suddenly, the young man raised his head, and He Fei, who had been looking down in thought, suddenly raised his head without warning.
Due to the sudden movement, Lan Ke'er was startled by her side. She was stunned for a moment, and then she was stunned again. Compared with being chased by a hawk, this kind of shock was still within the acceptable range for her. As expected, she passed Initially panicked, but seeing the strange expression on He Fei's head, he swallowed. Lan Keer couldn't help but nervously asked, "He Fei, what's wrong with you?"
Following the girl's field of vision, the first thing she saw was the young man's movements. He didn't answer or reply. He stood up quickly with his hands on the ground. Then he lowered his head and stared at his left hand, looking at the ring, and looking at the one that represented his captain status. Sapphire ring.
………
Cecil Hotel, 5th floor.
Bah.
As the elevator door opened on its own, a man and a woman soon stepped out of the elevator. Regardless of who the woman was, at least Cheng Ying recognized the young man's identity instantly.
"You... He Fei!"
"It's the captain!"
As expected, after seeing clearly that the person coming was He Fei from a distance of seven or eight meters, Cheng Ying and Smith both called out the young man's name in excitement.
Seeing the arrival of the captain, except for Smith who was immediately overjoyed, Cheng Ying's long-standing vigilance also disappeared in an instant.
There was no other reason. Strictly speaking, it could be understood that Cheng Ying had been worried about He Fei's safety. Now that she saw with her own eyes that he was fine, the girl finally let go of her worries.
(He’s okay, he’s safe, great!)
Of course, she was happy and reassured. As He Fei was called out by name and looked at him intently, Cheng Ying actually did not greet him immediately. Instead, she paused due to some suspicious thoughts, with a look of doubt on her face and a straight look in her eyes. He glanced at the young man's side, turned to the young woman whose face had been dull since she appeared, paused, and finally asked in a puzzled tone: "He Fei? Who is this next to you?"
After listening to Cheng Ying's question, ahead, He Fei, who had stepped out of the elevator and into the corridor, still smiled, nodded and replied: "This is Lan Ke'er, I just saved her life on the 11th floor not long ago. "
Lan Keer!
After hearing He Fei's answer, Cheng Ying was instinctively surprised. She didn't expect that this was the famous Lan Ke'er herself. You must know that the Lan Ke'er incident was a sensation and there were widespread rumors. When she was still working as a professional killer, she also had I have heard about this matter, but if I take a closer look, I can see that the woman's dress and appearance are indeed very similar to those in the video. If this is the case, doesn't it mean that the woman opposite is really Lan Ke'er herself? only……
Why is the other party silent and expressionless?
Xu guessed what the other party was thinking from the doubtful expression on the girl's face. Before the other party could ask, He Fei shrugged slightly and explained: "She is just an ordinary female college student. She was overly frightened earlier, so she probably won't need it." How long will it take for it to gradually recover? Oh, by the way, here’s the thing…”
As he spoke, He Fei began to move and walked forward with his legs. While explaining his earlier experience, he slowly approached Cheng Ying and Smith...
