Breathing was unbearable, sweat was dripping frequently, and mixed with sweat, a girl's unique body fragrance also quietly spread around and silently drifted into the corridor. Of course, the above matters are not the focus. The point is that the girl's heavy breathing finally caused the girl to break free from the trance. Chen Xiaoyao came and paid attention, and paid attention, but from the moment he regained consciousness, the young man's gaze towards Kong Ling was completely different from the first. His eyes were wide open, and his face was surprised. No matter it was his expression or his gaze, in addition to surprise, Still surprised, at this moment, looking into the girl's eyes, Taoist Chen was silent for a moment, unresponsive, as if he was about to fall into a state of trance.
(No, I’m still not sure. Those eyes are a bit exaggerated. I can’t just make random guesses. How about observing and observing...)
"Hey, hey, hey! Is there something wrong with you, you scoundrel? Or did the experience just scare you into an idiot? Why are you staring at me like a fool? Hey, stop looking, if you dare to read my letter If you don’t believe me, I will pluck out your two eyeballs and stomp on them!"
As the saying goes, no girl likes to be stared at. The same is true for others, and the same is true for Kong Ling. As expected, seeing Taoist Chen staring at her inexplicably, and seeing the other person staring at her for a long time without moving, finally, the cute girl gradually became unhappy and uncomfortable, and I He even glared angrily and issued a threat on the spot. As for Chen Xiaoyao...
The young Taoist priest was not intimidated. This was nonsense. After all, he knew clearly that the girl had no power to threaten him except for her special eyes. After all, the other party was just a weak girl. Because of this, Taoist Chen automatically ignored Kong Ling. Threats, of course, don't be afraid of threats. Even if you know that the other party is weak, it is really embarrassing to keep staring at the other party without saying a word. In this case...
"Cough, cough!"
Chen Xiaoyao made a move, looked away and coughed twice. First, he scanned the area around the maze with vigilant eyes to confirm that there was no danger. Then, he looked at Kong Ling, who was about to slap him with his hand, with an unprecedented weird look. One sentence came out of his mouth:
"Well, um, Miss Ethereal, I want to ask you a question about your eyes."
………
The maze task lasted for 6 hours and 17 minutes.
In a certain corridor, a sheep and the three people following it were still moving slowly.
"Hoo, ho, I'm so tired, I can't walk anymore."
In the huge and seemingly never-exit maze, some people are dying, and some people can't hold on any longer. Qiao Kedi, who was able to grit his teeth at first after walking for a long time, gradually couldn't bear the feeling of fatigue and hunger. During this period, the fat man felt that his Every step he took was extremely difficult, as if his legs were filled with lead. He was tired and hungry. In addition to his empty belly and unbearable hunger, his body was also getting heavier. There seemed to be only one command left in his chaotic head, and that was He walked mechanically according to inertia and continued walking. Although he was very tired and even Qiao Kedi murmured to himself from time to time while walking, he still moved forward and walked. In the process, both his body and spirit were on the verge of reaching their limits.
Of course, Qiao Kedi is not the only one who feels this kind of fatigue? In fact, He Fei and Zhao Ping, who are currently walking in front of Qiao Kaidi, are also having a hard time. Fortunately, they are veterans, and with long-term exercise, their physical fitness has improved significantly than before. After all, they can still persist in forcing themselves, at least for now. It is said that the condition of the two of them is slightly better than that of the fat man, but unfortunately it is only slightly better. The overall condition is still not optimistic. At this moment, no matter who they are, they are sweating profusely and panting, and they continue to walk behind the sheep.
No, no, the above description is slightly wrong. The two people's fatigue is not basically the same. If you look closely and observe carefully, you will find that He Fei is slightly worse than Zhao Ping, even half a point worse than Qiao Kedi behind him. The reason is not the same. It’s not complicated, it can be summed up in four words, that’s energy consumption!
While the physical energy is greatly consumed, the mind is also kept running at a high level. This kind of double consumption is more serious than the single physical energy consumption.
This is said to be true, and it is also true. While moving, college students never gave up thinking or analysis.
(I’m so tired. Is the maze really that big? Why haven’t I reached the exit after walking for so long? Or is my initial clue inference wrong? I’m so hungry, so tired, so thirsty. I want to rest and eat. I , I can’t walk anymore...huh? What am I doing?)
The next moment, He Fei suddenly shuddered. He discovered something strange. He found that his brain was getting more and more chaotic, gradually getting closer to blur. In the end, his thoughts were almost out of his control. He Fei knew what this meant. What is he talking about means that time has worn away himself, and he is about to crush himself with the help of fatigue and hunger, and he himself will gradually become dull and gradually lose the ability to think under the action of the law of entropy increase. Once he loses the ability to think, He will be unconscious by then!
Upon noticing this, the college student was startled. He immediately stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh as if he had been stimulated by some kind of stimulus. The reason is self-evident. The overall motive came precisely from his self-feeling and looking back. Yes, he just pinched his thigh. He glanced back at Qiao Kedi and saw that the fat man was in a trance, feeling that his own state was similar. Suddenly, he remembered something, recalling a certain Confucian classics experiment.
As mentioned above, although the gradual blurring of the brain did interfere with He Fei's thinking, the college student stimulated his body by pinching his legs to temporarily wake up from the pain, so that his brain, which was no longer very useful, was still functioning at critical moments. He was able to maintain normal operation, and then, he thought of something and discovered something, and this discovery made He Fei's hair stand on end. Perhaps this was the biggest hidden crisis in the entire maze mission.
The reference started from memories and came from a certain classic experiment in the scientific world, that is, boiling a frog in warm water!
The so-called boiling a frog in warm water is a biological experiment conducted by scientists at Cornell University in the United States at the end of the 19th century. The specific process is simple. The scientists first put a frog into 40 degrees Celsius water. Due to the high initial water temperature and sudden changes, the frog Sure enough, he could not stand the sudden high temperature and immediately started to save himself. He jumped out of the boiling water and successfully escaped. However, when the researchers put the frog into a container with cold water and then slowly heated it, the result was disastrous. Same.
Because the initial water temperature this time was very low, after entering the water, the frog was leisurely and contented in a comfortable environment. However, when the frog found that the water temperature gradually increased or even increased into unbearable, the frog was already unable to do anything, and was boiled to death unknowingly. in hot water.
The same cruel environment, two completely opposite results, what does this mean? In other words, what did the above experiments indicate?
The answer is undoubtedly, this story tells people that even in a safe environment, you must always be vigilant, otherwise you may become extremely happy and sad. When facing an enemy or accomplishing something with a purpose, if you do not master the method and act recklessly, it will not be easy to succeed. , and the enemy can first use certain methods to paralyze you, weaken you, and finally kill you easily when you are the weakest and most unsuspecting.
The boiled frog in warm water illustrates the principle of changing from quantitative to qualitative change, and it also shows that it is precisely because of gradually adapting to the environment that one loses guard and ignores the crisis. Yes, if one is in an environment full of crises from the beginning, people will inevitably be alert and vigilant at all times when facing When encountering enemies, they will inevitably respond quickly and escape in time. However, when they are in an environment that is extremely safe from the beginning, as time goes by, people will gradually lose vigilance and relax themselves. This state is the most dangerous. Once the enemy is in crisis, The consequences could be disastrous.
Simply put, it can be understood as a dual crisis of time and environment. The overall logic is not complicated. First of all, we must understand that in a comfortable or safe environment, people are often easily confused by the environment, which eventually leads to depression, indulgence, degradation and even falling into The desperate situation, coupled with the fact that the process changes little by little, allows people to complete the entire transformation without being easily noticed. When they wake up, it is too late. On the contrary, if people are suddenly thrown from 'heaven' to 'hell', due to the gap, Extremely large, people's reaction will be very strong, so they can make quick choices and respond quickly, so that they don't end up not knowing how they died.
Yes, the above is the most detailed explanation of boiling a frog in warm water. By analogy, the above principles can also be applied to executors, or it is very similar to the current situation of these executors. At this moment, the executors are equivalent to frogs being put into warm water. , the maze is equal to warm water that is slowly heated around the frog! The truth is simple and easy to understand. Take the executor as an example. Regardless of the level of the supernatural missions they have experienced in the past, and regardless of the strength of the monster, in fact, since entering the mission world, the executor will always maintain a high level of vigilance to prepare for it. Danger is natural, but this maze mission is completely the opposite. There is no denying that when everyone first entered the maze, they were still cautious and cautious according to their previous habits. The executor is after all a human being, and is a living thing, not a machine. People are always tired and people always need to eat, drink and rest. Therefore, with the slow passage of time and no danger occurring for a long time, the executor slacks off, and while slacking off, he endures the passing of time, yes, passing away, if the executor is equivalent to a frog. , if the labyrinth is equal to a water container, then time is undoubtedly the warm water that surrounds the surroundings and is constantly heated, until everyone is worn down to a certain extent, until everyone is weakened to a certain extent, then the real death will come.
And the thing that can bring death is 100% the worm, the murderous evil spirit hidden deep in the maze!
The worms used the principle of boiling frogs in warm water to attack the executors. They have been attacking them from the beginning of the mission, using time and environment as weapons to silently attack the executors, using a completely imperceptible method to carry out hidden attacks. Silent influence and silent weakening, trying to weaken the prey's defense and reaction ability as much as possible. What is the result? It turns out that the larvae strategy worked!
Because the worm has never attacked the executor for 6 hours, as time goes by, the executor gradually gets used to it and gradually adapts to the safe environment of this maze. After adapting, the vigilance is reduced to a minimum, and the executor To put it bluntly, the sheep that appeared out of nowhere are just tools, a tool that accelerates the consumption of the executor's physical energy. The reason for adopting the cute sheep shape is just to lower their vigilance. After all, not many people would think that a cute sheep can be harmful to humans. A threat is generated, so the strategy is successful, and the final result is three points:
First, performers who stay in a non-dangerous environment for a long time will gradually lose their vigilance over time.
Second, performers who exercise for a long time and are unable to rest and eat will gradually become tired and sluggish over time, which is a double exhaustion of physical functions and mental will. Here, we would like to remind you that early fatigue and short-term fatigue will not affect each other. Human thinking has a great impact, but long-term fatigue is very different. If you are in a state of fatigue for a long time, in addition to the body, the fatigue will gradually corrode the mind and interfere with the brain, affecting normal thinking until it weakens people's judgment and thinking ability.
Third, combined with the above two points, if a person in such a state is in a safe environment, it will be fine. However, if he suddenly encounters a crisis, he will most likely be trapped in a quagmire due to making wrong judgments!
To be honest, He Fei would never have thought of this, but the vigilance he had developed over a long period of time always reminded him that there must be dangers in supernatural missions, and that there must be crises in the mission world. Since there must be dangers, he has to observe for a long time. , after confirming that the maze was extremely safe, the college students decisively changed their thinking mode and immediately looked at the problem from a third-party perspective. The so-called third-party perspective can be understood as the perspective of a bystander. To put it simply, it means looking at the problem from the perspective of the person involved. Instead, he looks at the problem from the perspective of a bystander who has nothing to do with himself. As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders know clearly. This is a new way of thinking. It is an analysis method that He Fei has gradually mastered after experiencing many missions. Fortunately, he adopted it in time. This kind of method, otherwise he would probably never discover the plan until his death, and he himself would never have imagined that there was a death trap hidden in the maze, a fatal crisis similar to boiling a frog in warm water!
After clarifying the above logic, some questions also arise, that is...
(Now that the strategy used by Haowu has been logically sorted out, and the executor itself has indeed been greatly weakened by time, the question arises, what is Haowu's final killing move? What is the opponent's fatal blow? And It is incomprehensible at all, that is, why do you have to use time-consuming and complicated methods to attack the executor? Why not simply show up and attack violently to kill the person on the spot? Obviously everyone and props cannot Using it, it is clear that no one has any countermeasures. It stands to reason that under the premise that humans have no ability to resist, it is undoubtedly much easier and faster for the monsters to directly appear and attack than the current time-consuming, unless...)
(Huh? Is it possible that the creature is restricted by some rules? It is also said that the existence form of the creature itself is rather special? It’s not that the creature doesn’t want to be direct but that the other party is unable to show up and kill wantonly? If this is the case, then the true form of the creature is Where is it? Is it the sheep leading the way? No, it can't be a sheep. I have clearly analyzed that the possibility of sheep is extremely low. How can I still have hard thoughts now? Damn it, my head hurts. What was I thinking just now? ...)
"Ugh."
In the alleyway, inadvertently, the state of the college student dropped sharply. He Fei, who was walking while thinking, staggered unconsciously and covered his forehead with his hands. His facial expression also showed pain and twitching at the same time. Obviously, because he was originally in the mind, He forced himself to think while dizzy, using pain stimulation. After a brief period of awakening, side effects followed. In an instant, a stronger mental exhaustion swept through his body, making his brain increasingly difficult to maintain and increasingly chaotic. Chaos, his brief period of sobriety finally passed, and He Fei fell into a state of confusion. Under the haze, his analysis developed from orderly at the beginning to hazy and blurry. In the end, he could not remember the process analysis. Then, He Fei began I started to tremble with fear, and my subconscious immediately issued a warning:
Forcibly thinking in a state of severe mental fatigue will only double the burden on the brain. The result is that the brain nerves will automatically block thinking due to being overwhelmed!
What is the result of automatically forcibly blocking thoughts?
There is only one correct answer, and that is coma!
(I can't hold on anymore, I, I can't...)
"Woo!"
Da, da da da.
Letting out a painful groan, He Fei stumbled suddenly while walking, and immediately his center of gravity became unstable and fell to one side!
Due to the large range of movements, this time it finally attracted the joint attention of Zhao Ping and Qiao Kaidi who were nearby. As described earlier, in addition to He Fei, fatigue also had a great impact on the two of them. Let’s not talk about Qiao Kaidi in the rear. How Kaidi almost collapsed, the only thing that is shocking and even unexpected is...
In the blink of an eye, just when He Fei was shaking his body and about to fall to the ground, he stretched out his arms and moved quickly. A pair of powerful arms caught the college student before he fell. After that, one of He Fei's arms was caught by his body. Someone stood on his shoulder and helped the young man to continue walking. Looking closely, who could it be if it wasn't Zhao Ping?
The man with glasses is in good condition. Although he is equally tired, his condition is much better than that of He Fei. To use a simple analogy, if He Fei's fatigue value is 90, which is close to the limit, and Qiao Kedi's fatigue value is 80, then Zhao Ping's fatigue value is only Early 60s.
Feeling that his body was being held by the opponent, he was confused and out of breath. He Fei instinctively turned his head and glanced at the man with glasses next to him. Seeing this, for some reason, the college student smiled, showing a wry smile and a look that seemed early. There was an expected helpless smile.
(You are you after all. Even you are planning to take advantage of me. It seems that in your personal eyes, my use value to you is quite high. I didn’t expect you to trust me so much, okay...)
There is no reason, no reason. Seeing that the man with glasses is far better than himself, He Fei has no doubts or suspicions. Instead, he inadvertently shows a weird expression that should be like this. Of course, what he thinks is not the point now. The point is that the college student knows that he is not good. He was about to fall into coma, about to be completely unconscious, so he did not stop Zhao Ping from helping him, but pinched his body with all his strength, and then said a slightly ridiculing sentence to the man: "Look Your situation is much better than mine."
After hearing this, the man with glasses did not react much. He remained expressionless and calm. He paused for a moment, then turned his head towards He Fei and replied in a calm tone: "That's because of me. My mind was empty and I didn’t think about anything along the way. I didn’t think or ponder, so at this moment I’m just physically exhausted.”
Similar to the young man's brief question, the bespectacled man's answer was also very brief. There was neither too much explanation nor anything else involved. However, who would have thought that such a short sentence would reach He Fei's ears and further cause the young man to smile bitterly. The smile became more prosperous, and this time the smile contained some less obvious self-deprecating elements. No one knew the reason, and the meaning was unknown. After the wry smile, He Fei said: "Although I have long noticed that you will definitely take advantage of it. Me, it's a pity that I didn't escape after all. It's not that I couldn't escape, but the reality forced me to be used by you. After all, some things have to be done by someone. Who makes me different from you? Ugh..."
At this point, the dizziness surged in vain, and the blurred feeling doubled instantly!
"Hoo, ho, ho!"
Painful groans arose spontaneously, and his unwillingness was palpable. He Fei recognized the reality clearly. He now clearly knew that the last moment had arrived, and the surge of dizziness just now was the last sign of imminent coma. So, He Fei moved and waited. After taking a few quick breaths, the young man suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Zhao Ping's collar. Then, while staring at the man with glasses, he struggled to move his mouth and spoke to him in an extremely low voice, leaving a paragraph. Intermittent and rather strange verbal messages:
"Phew, listen, the boiling frog theory, the worm is restricted, the exit is both suspicious and real, the opposite of the sheep, and, if possible, try to let him go..."
With his body swaying, mixed with confusion, and after uttering the last incomprehensible words in a struggling tone, the next moment, He Fei closed his eyes and relaxed. This young man whose brain was overworking due to exhaustion finally fell into a coma. , and there was no sound.

PS: "It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and passers-by want to die. I ask where the restaurant is, and the shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village." Yes, this lyrical poem describing the Qingming Festival was also written by Du Mu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty. Seasonal poems, April is here, Qingming Festival is here, the drizzle is pattering, the breeze is blowing, and the drizzle brings back the past thoughts deep in the soul. Here, the hunter first borrows Du Mu's poems to express his personal mood. In addition, In addition, I also hope that the results of this book will be better in the new month. If you can, I also hope that readers will vote for this book as much as possible and give some rewards as encouragement. After all, the hunters themselves live in poverty and poor conditions.
