He Fei nodded affirmatively at first, and then continued to explain in a rather emotional tone: "The trap is a side mission, a non-mandatory side mission that does not force the executor to intervene. It seems to be extremely selective, but in fact The curse has just added a massive survival value reward to the side task that should be dispensable, a life-threatening fishhook equivalent to fishing bait. So, under the stimulation of the high reward, everyone, including me, Everyone fell into the trap, collectively took the bait, and the curse took advantage of everyone's subconscious laxity towards ordinary-level tasks and placed a noose of greed on us, luring us into the trap on our own. As for what happened next... I think Even if I don’t say that everyone has experienced it personally, at least the vast majority of people have experienced it personally.”
While speaking, He Fei's gaze shifted slightly for some unknown reason, and his pupils inadvertently glanced at the man with glasses opposite him.
Let's get back to the topic, there is no need to continue to explain. Everyone really understood what was said later. After all, except for a few individuals, most of the executors during the mission had stepped into the bloody red circle that represented death, and Yao Fujiang also died in the red circle. within the circle.
Curse, you are so vicious!
Not only did he fully understand the executor's subjective view of the task level, but he even grasped the essence of human nature. Then he used high survival value rewards to seduce the executor to actively choose the execution branch and actively protect the plot characters. On the surface, it seemed normal. , but who would have thought that there was a terrifying Earthbound Spirit hidden in that seemingly easy side mission!
The executor jumped into the mission trap on his own initiative. Chen Xiaoyao was fooled, Qian Xueling was fooled, Cheng Ying was fooled, and even He Fei, the captain, was fooled, and the consequences of being fooled were natural. It was extremely miserable, the team lost many troops, Gao Jikun died, Yao Fujiang died, both of them had no way to escape and died under the sudden space attack of the Earthbound Spirit, and were easily killed by the Hanged Girl. The trap was undoubtedly the reflection. Map red circle.
To put it simply, it can be understood that if they, the group of executors, had given up and not chosen to perform the side mission, then the entire supernatural mission would have been non-dangerous and non-threatening, and the mission itself would have evolved into a vacation, a complete and complete supernatural mission. Dangerous leisure vacation, unfortunately...
………
The executor is tricked and ends up falling into a trap.
After He Fei explained, all kinds of information that had been forgotten or ignored came to everyone's mind. It was only then that everyone finally understood the true meaning of this supernatural mission. To put it mildly, it was a curse that was testing everyone's minds and subconscious reactions. To put it bluntly, it can be said that they were nakedly intentional. The curse did not lie, and the mission information was not adulterated. It was just a small trick when the mission information was definitely true, and then successfully lured out the essence of human nature, until the entire The executive team pays the price.
Fortunately for Gao Jikun, the naughty man with small eyes had not been in contact with everyone for a long time. As for Tang Zhiyuan, who was already a threat to the team, they deserved to die. However, only Yao Fujiang was different, and the flat-headed The status of young people in the hearts of everyone is far beyond comparison.
There is little point in figuring it out now. Even if you understand the complete truth, it is too late to regret it. After all, the person is dead.
"I am the curse of Nyima!"
Following the memory of the past, reminiscing about every detail, just as everyone at the scene fell into a remorseful silence, on the right, Chen Xiaoyao cursed loudly. This Taoist priest who had been gloomy and silent since learning about Yao Fujiang's death suddenly gritted his teeth and cursed abruptly, raising his head to say He greeted the air above him fiercely and cursed the whole family.
As described earlier, the death of Yao Fujiang was a big blow to the young Taoist priest. It was also the first time that Chen Xiaoyao showed hatred and sadness. His expression changed, and the previous meanness disappeared and was replaced by resentment. In fact, Chen Xiaoyao's reaction was entirely expected by others. After all, what this bitchy Taoist priest usually likes to do most is bickering and attacking each other with Yao Fujiang. Now that the situation has evolved like this, one can imagine Chen Xiaoyao's mood. Not only him, but also those present Who among the crowd feels better?
He waved his hand to signal the young man to be quiet. In the middle of the round table, He Fei continued with a solemn expression: "Experiences need to be learned and lessons need to be remembered. Even if the mission is over, the matters involved are still worth pondering. Next, I will describe what I encountered during my personal mission. Let everyone know..."
………
Sadness filled the carriage, time passed quietly, and the master who controlled everything also tried to use time to quietly smooth away the sadness.
It is true that the Yao Fujiang incident had a big impact on the team and made everyone feel sad, but the dead are gone, and the living still have to live, and still need to continue to fight for survival, and gradually recover bit by bit in time, in the rare ordinary life of Hell Train gradually recovered.
Day 7 of the mission rest period, 16:13 pm.
In Chen Xiaoyao's bedroom, at this moment, the young Taoist priest did not watch the movie in the living room as usual. Instead, he was naked and sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, wearing only a pair of underwear.
This is the standard meditation posture for Taoists. If explained in Taoist terms, it can be described as meditation practice.
'Meditation', also known as 'cross-legged sitting' and 'quiet sitting', is a basic practice method in Taoism. It has similar functions to 'meditation', 'meditation' and 'sitting in lotus lotus position' in Buddhism. Cross-legged sitting is also divided into natural cross-legged postures. , single lotus and double lotus were first evolved from the ancients' sitting and kneeling. Meditation can not only maintain health and extend life, but also open up wisdom and increase wisdom. In fact, the above content is just an explanation of the use of meditation for beginners in Taoism. The main purpose It is for beginners to master the essentials of meditation. It seems to be basic, but in fact, meditation is more important for Taoist priests who already have a certain level of cultivation. The purpose of meditation for Taoist priests who have a certain level of cultivation is not only to improve their own cultivation level, but also to Increase one's own spiritual power through such methods. As we all know, Taoism focuses on nourishing qi. Its Taoist branch, Maoshan Sect, which is good at exorcising evil spirits and warding off evil spirits, pays more attention to the cultivation of spiritual power. Mental power is the key factor connecting the nature of Taoism. It can even be said that the amount of spiritual power is directly related to the cultivation of spiritual power. It represents the level of cultivation of a Maoshan Taoist priest. There is no doubt that the stronger the spiritual power, the stronger and higher the intensity and endurance of the Taoist techniques he releases. Most of the improvement methods come from basic meditation.
Chen Xiaoyao had never thought about improving his strength before, until that incident happened, and the irreparable sadness prompted him to change his mind.
Since the end of the last mission, Chen Xiaoyao has rarely gone out recently. He spends most of his time in his personal room meditating with his eyes closed. At this moment, in this silent bedroom, if you look closely, you will find that the young man is naked and motionless like water. , it can also be further discovered that there is also an ancient book called "Tao Follows Nature" beside the bed. There is no doubt that Taoist Chen has been practicing this book recently.
Boom, boom, boom!
Unfortunately, things backfired. Chen Xiaoyao's hours-long meditation failed to end naturally. During the process, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Hearing the noise, Chen Xiaoyao slowly opened his eyes. Unexpectedly, when his eyes were fully opened, he didn't know whether he saw it wrong or it seemed to be an illusion. The moment he opened his eyes, a purple stream of light flashed in the young man's pupils, and the brilliance remained extremely strong. Short, fleeting in the blink of an eye.
Boom, boom, boom!
The knocking on the door continued. In desperation, Taoist Chen had no choice but to get out of bed and rush to the living room. While walking back and forth with a look of displeasure on his face, he scratched his butt that was numb from sitting still for too long.
"Okay, okay, stop knocking, I'm coming!"
………
Time goes back two minutes to the corridor of Car No. 3.
"Hey! What a coincidence, maybe you are out for a walk like me?"
"Don't compare me to you. Do you think I'll be bored and sleep in my room like you?"
"Eh? If that's the case, then why did you come to the door of Chen Xiaoyao's room? Why are you looking for him? Do you think that funny guy doesn't harass you enough?"
"Looking at you, could it be that you are also here to find him?"
"Hahaha, that's natural. I was bored in the morning and went to visit He Fei's house and played a few pokers with him. Just now I suddenly discovered that Chen Xiaoyao didn't seem to have been out in the past few days. No, I went there specially. He visits the house to see what this guy is doing in the room."
"I think you'd better not go."
"Why? Why can you go to visit me and I can't?"
"Forget it, whatever you want."
"Hey, it would be nice for us to go visit together. It's crowded and lively. I'll knock on the door."
………
Boom, boom, boom!
"Okay, okay, stop knocking, I'm coming!"
When he came to the living room and arrived at the door, Chen Xiaoyao, who kept his face full of displeasure and wore only a pair of underwear, opened the door without any scruples. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, the first thing that came into view was a face that suddenly changed. His expression was calm just now, but when he saw the young man wearing it with his own eyes, his face was instantly filled with murderous intent!
As for Chen Xiaoyao...
"I, I...fuck!"
Seeing the sudden change in the other party's expression, Chen Xiaoyao was stunned at first, then his expression changed drastically as if he suddenly realized something, and he reached out to grab the door. He did not deny that he tried to close the door again, but as soon as he said it, Chen Xiaoyao showed up in front of him. When he panicked and tried to close the door, a slender foot wrapped in riding boots from the opposite side kicked hard, and before the door closed, he kicked the young man's chest like lightning!
bump!
"oops!"
The next second, accompanied by a shrill scream, Chen Xiaoyao flew into the air on the spot. According to the standard laws of physics, he flew upside down like a kite with a broken string and fell on his back. At the same time, a voice full of surprise outside the door also appeared in an instant. It is said in the ears:
"Holy shit! Are you crazy or are you seeking death? How dare you wear just a pair of underwear in front of Cheng Ying!?"
Yes, there were two people outside the door, or in other words, at the moment Chen Xiaoyao was kicked into the air, a man and a woman walked straight out of the door. The two were none other than Peng Hu and Cheng Ying!
It was Peng Hu who spoke in shock, and it was undoubtedly Cheng Ying who kicked the person decisively.
"Ugh... cough, cough! Brother Peng, my conscience, what do I mean by this? It's not against the law for me to wear whatever I wear in my own home. It's obviously you two who took the initiative to knock on my door, not to mention I don't know the door. The foreign party will be..."
Maybe he had kicked too hard just now. Listening to Peng Hu's shocked questioning, Chen Xiaoyao, who was lying on the ground and covering his chest and coughing decisively, screamed that he was wronged with an aggrieved expression on his face. He did not deny that what the young Taoist said was reasonable. However, unfortunately, all kinds of The reason had no effect on the aloof girl who had just stepped into the living room. Not only did it have no effect, it even had some counter-effects. The matter was not over yet. It was too late to tell, but it was too soon. Before Chen Xiaoyao could get up with difficulty, the next moment, Cheng Sakura takes action again!
brush!
His body suddenly flashed, his steps moved, and he moved in front of him with an arrow and stepped on something between the young man's legs with his riding boots. Along with it, there was a cold warning: "I'll give you half a minute to go back to the bedroom and get dressed." ,otherwise……"
"Wow! Sister Ying... no, Aunt Yingying, please be gentle with your feet! I'm going to change! I'm going to change! Please lift your feet, lift your feet!"
His expression suddenly changed drastically, his eyes widened suddenly, and seeing that his important parts were about to be destroyed, Chen Xiaoyao, who originally wanted to say a few more words, was frightened to death on the spot. He cried for his father and mother and begged for mercy, and immediately rushed as fast as a He ran into the bedroom like a sharp arrow.
Sure enough, after witnessing this scene, they saw Chen Xiaoyao running away in panic with his butt on fire. In the living room, Peng Hu threw his head and laughed with his body trembling. He grinned and said to Cheng Ying: "Hahahaha! This kid's reaction just now made me laugh to death. Okay, it seems you are the only one who can treat this thing submissively, hahahaha!"
As mentioned above, the bald man seemed to be indifferent to the young man's embarrassment and was gloating about the misfortune. What he never expected was that before he could finish laughing, Cheng Ying turned around and looked up and down with disdainful eyes. While looking at it, he taunted: "I said you are already a grown up with a bald head. Aren't you tired of wearing a black tank top all day long? Ah? Are you tired of it? Don't tell me that there is nothing else in your wardrobe except a black tank top. Clothes? In my opinion, even the prison uniform you wore back then is more pleasing to the eye than this one."
As the saying goes, hit someone without slapping someone in the face, and scold someone without exposing someone's shortcomings. As for Peng Hu's dress and taste, for the sake of face, if most of He Fei and other executors only dare to criticize in their hearts and dare not speak openly, then there are not so many aloof girls. He was scrupulous, or Cheng Ying was the only one in the entire team who dared to mock Peng Hu's dressing sense to his face. As expected, the girl mocked Fang Luo, and the bald man's expression changed. He immediately turned into anger and his flesh was trembling, and the stubble all over his chin was like dancing. He wanted to explode immediately, but... taking into account the slight difference in strength between the two, in order to avoid exchanging his own serious injuries for the other's minor injuries, after calculation, the bald man thought that this kind of deal was not a good deal. The man finally suppressed his anger and held it in for a long time without daring to make a move. In the end, he only managed to utter a pale retort with weak reasons: "This is a trendy dress. Ordinary people don't have the physique to wear it. You know what the heck!" "
"Hey, um, I put my clothes on, it should be okay now, right?"
At the same time, just when the bald man was being ridiculed frequently and couldn't resist, with an embarrassing reminder, the bedroom door opened, and Chen Xiaoyao with a mean smile on his face appeared again, not only saving Peng Hu but also rushing to Cheng Ying's limited time. She put on her clothes and appeared in the living room. At this moment, looking at the extremely disgusting shit-yellow jacket, Cheng Ying frowned slightly and stared at Chen Xiaoyao opposite who was trembling for fear of being beaten again. She turned back and glanced at Peng Hu. Observing the clothes of the two, the girl was speechless and muttered helplessly: "The aesthetics of these two people...can't be saved..."
The interlude ended there, and a few minutes later, the living room fell into silence, and things got back on track.
In the living room, Cheng Ying was sitting on the sofa with an expressionless face, drinking the milk tea specially sent by Chen Xiaoyao without saying a word. She seemed cold and calm, but in fact she had a very poor image. She drank milk tea while putting her feet up without a ladylike image. Placed on the coffee table, coldness emanated from time to time in the silence. Seeing this, how could Chen Xiaoyao, who was sitting opposite, dare to speak easily? Swallowing, he first glanced at Cheng Ying with a look that was mixed with fear, and then turned his head slightly towards Peng Hu as if something suddenly occurred to him and asked in a low voice: "Hey, Brother Peng, you two come together to find her." What's wrong with me?"
Listening to the young man's inquiry, the bald man corrected him decisively: "Stop it, stop it, first of all, what you said is wrong. Yes, I came with her, but we met her by chance at the door. God knows this guy is here. Why is this guy so crazy? You come here with your thighs crossed like a man and don’t say a word. I don’t know what you’re doing here.”
"Huh? There is such a thing? This is a bit unscientific."
Glancing at Cheng Ying across from him again, Chen Xiaoyao continued to ask in a low voice with a puzzled look on his face: "Then why did you come to see me?"
"Me? Of course I came to see you for a visit. I wanted to see what your kid has been up to recently. After all, your kid has been staying at the door of his room recently and hasn't seen you for several days. I originally thought that Brother Yao's death would be such a huge blow to you that you couldn't think about it anymore, so I came here to enlighten you, but why don't you come in now and see how you are doing?"
"What the hell, Brother Peng, what are you saying? Of course I'm sad that Brother Fu Jiang died, but after all, I can't live in sadness all my life, right? To say the least, even if I'm too sad, I won't be autistic, right? I said, Brother Peng, you can wear a black vest casually, but you can’t say random words.”
"Fuck you, what do you mean? Is it illegal to wear a black vest?"
"Yes, since it's not illegal for you to wear a black vest, does it break the law for me to stay in the room and not come out?"
"Then why have you been staying in your room these past few days? What have you been doing during this time?"
"Of course it's cultivation. I'm studying the book my master left for me.
"Um?"
"You, you said you are practicing?"
After hearing Chen Xiaoyao's answer, Peng Hu was slightly stunned. He touched his stubble on his chin and recalled his thoughts for a while. Finally, he remembered that Chen Xiaoyao had indeed shown off in front of everyone not long ago with a book that seemed to be called "Tao Follows Nature". Could it be that , could it be that the guy in front of me has been practicing that stuff in the past few days?
"Yes, Taoist practice, spiritual improvement, don't forget that I am a Taoist priest from Maoshan, and my master also recorded most of his lifelong secrets in books. I found the book before, but I couldn't get there because I was busy performing supernatural tasks. Until I was lucky enough to come back alive from the last supernatural mission, I didn’t have the opportunity to practice Taoism until now. To be honest, I don’t know if it’s my personal illusion or the fact. I always feel that the worms in the supernatural mission are getting more and more difficult to deal with. If I don’t improve my strength as soon as possible, God knows how long I can survive?”
"Is that thing useful?"
"Of course it works. Although I have only been practicing seriously for a few days, I feel that my mental power has improved in these few days."
The question-and-answer process was formal, and every word was directed to the book. However, just when Chen and Peng were chatting in a lively manner, opposite, Cheng Ying moved, retracted her legs, put down her milk tea, and the cold girl stood up and left. He sat down, then turned around and left without raising his head, heading straight for the living room door.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaoyao was puzzled and Peng Hu looked surprised. The two of them were both confused and just watched the girl leave with confused expressions.
Snap.
It wasn't until the door was closed, until Cheng Ying's figure completely disappeared outside the door. After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Taoist Chen was the first to react. He raised his hand and touched Peng Hu on his side. When the bald man came to his senses completely, the young man faced him. Lu Wei opened her mouth and asked, "Did I read it right just now? I didn't say anything to her when she came. I just drank a cup of milk tea and then went back? Just went back like that?"
"Hey, if you ask me, who should I ask? I don't know what's going on?"
"Forget it, let's just treat her as crazy. By the way, Brother Peng, do you want to come to my bedroom and practice "Tao Follows Nature" with me?"
"Practice together? Do you want to take off your clothes and be naked like you did when you opened the door?"
"Look at what you said, but if you are serious about practicing, it is better to take off your clothes. After all, your mental power will expand during practice and your whole body will heat up. After all, it is cooler to be naked!"
"Get out of here, Third Uncle. I don't have that hobby. What's more, I'm not interested in practicing Taoism or anything like that. If you don't know, you might think the two of them are having sex. If you want to practice, you can continue to practice alone. Now you see He Fei and I are relieved that you are still as usual, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, I'm going back."
"Ah, looking at my memory, I almost forgot about the main thing. He Fei said that we would have dinner in Qian Xueling's room in the evening. By the way, I want to inform you, don't forget to go there during dinner."
Soon, after Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, who felt bored, left the room cursing and leaving. Finally, Chen Xiaoyao was the only one left in the room. However, just as Chen Xiaoyao was sighing because he had been beaten inexplicably, Also just when the young man was about to return to the bedroom to continue practicing, he discovered something. He accidentally found a note on the sofa where Cheng Ying had been sitting earlier.
"Huh? This is..."
Upon discovering the note, Chen Xiaoyao couldn't help but stop. Then, driven by curiosity, he stepped forward and walked around the coffee table to the sofa. He took the note, which was only half the size of a palm, in his hand and looked at it.
Looking down, the first thing that caught my eye was undoubtedly text information. There were not many words in it, and there were no sentences that could make people think deeply. It looked very much like an address, and there was an extra line at the end of the address. Attached is a message:
The location has been informed to you. I think you might be interested in that thing. If you want it, take the time to get it.
