When he passed by Qian Xueling, he took out a red bead that was all red and only the size of a glass bead, and then secretly stuffed the red bead into the woman's pocket without attracting attention.
At the same time, the cold voice unique to the curse also appeared in Zhao Ping's mind at this moment:
"The executor, Zhao Ping, did something privately that had nothing to do with the assigned identity and lacked logical reasons. He has violated the mission rules. The degree of violation is minor and 1 survival point will be deducted!"
A few minutes later, Jamie drove away angrily, ignoring his parents' efforts to stay. As a friend, Zhao Ping naturally said goodbye together and accompanied the young man out of the manor.
Let’s not mention where Jamie and Jamie will go next after they leave the manor. The scene changes and the camera moves. First, Chen Shuihong is seen in front of the gate watching the car go away, and then not far away, holding a pair of scissors. Li Tianheng, who was renovating the flowers and plants, finally returned to the villa and extended to a room on the first floor.
At this moment, in this private bedroom dedicated to the maid's rest, Qian Xueling, who had just returned to the room and forced to suppress her fear of Ella, took a deep breath, closed the door and listened attentively. After listening for a long time, It wasn't until she confirmed that there was no one outside and the living room was quiet that the woman put her hand into her pocket with doubts, and then took out the small object that Zhao Ping had secretly stuffed into her right pocket not long ago. Yes, it was as early as 5 minutes ago. On the second floor, when the bespectacled man passed by, although he never said a word, Qian Xueling's secret movements were still noticed and witnessed by Qian Xueling, who was very close at hand. Because there were many people at the scene, Qian Xueling was surprised. He also forcibly refrained from making any move, and just looked back at the man's back with suspicious eyes.
As she walked down the second floor to her room to rest, and confirmed that she was the only one in the room, Qian Xueling finally couldn't bear it anymore. She planned to uncover the mystery, and she had to find out what the man stuffed into her pocket before leaving.
So, with curiosity mixed with doubts, in this bedroom where she was the only one, she took out that thing.
only……
Staring down, Qian Xueling was stunned when she completely saw the items in her hands and witnessed them with her own eyes. She froze in place without any warning. In the process, her expression gradually changed until she turned into astonishment.
Time passed by second by second, and after being stunned for half a minute, the woman reacted slightly, and the hand holding the thing shook slightly and trembled instinctively.
(This, this, this is...)
In his sight, he saw a small red bead in his hand. The bead was smooth and gorgeous, emitting red light like a ruby.
Brilliant beads! ! !
Approximately as crystal-clear as the bright night sky, as dazzling as the stars, the Brilliant Bead is very powerful. It is the strongest defensive prop among the many supernatural props Qian Xueling has seen so far. It is a kind of weapon that can completely ignore the strength of the creature and thus be used effectively. A rare special item that provides protection to the player.
After a few more seconds, Qian Xueling fell into astonishment. In addition to the trembling of her right hand holding the bead, her whole body gradually began to tremble. If you observe carefully, you can further discover...
While trembling, the woman's eyes were filled with tears at some point.
………
Looking at the crystal clear red ball in her hand, Qian Xueling shed tears.
These were unexpected tears, and even more touching tears. She had been in the team for a long time. Of course she knew what kind of person Zhao Ping was. The man with glasses was undoubtedly selfish and cruel in the eyes of all senior people. He is such a cold-blooded, cruel and indifferent guy. He will do anything for personal gain, betray his teammates for his own safety, and even deceive others into stepping on mines. He does all kinds of despicable methods. Only you can't think of it, but he can't do it without him. .
As for Cui Cansu...
Qian Xueling also knows what the bead is and who it currently belongs to. It is a special Taoist artifact and a powerful prop. In the memory, Cui Canzhu was originally owned by Ye Wei. After Ye Wei died, it fell into the hands of Zhao Ping. After that, the bead It has always been owned by men with glasses. The specific effect is called abnormal. Once used, in addition to being 100% immune to all supernatural attacks for half an hour, it is also completely unaffected by monsters, and there will be no protection caused by excessive spiritual strength. The effects faded, and the most impressive one was when Zhao Ping used it to save his life in the Yin-Yang Road mission. After using this bead, he created a miraculous comeback and blocked the attack of the slug for everyone in the team. In the face of countless lonely souls, He persisted for half an hour during the siege, and finally persisted until He Fei resolved the crisis and completed the task.
Such props are rare in the world. Strictly speaking, the Brilliant Pearl can be regarded as Zhao Ping's last trump card, equivalent to his last life-saving prop.
But, who would have thought that it was this guy who was seen as selfish in the eyes of others, who would now hand Qian Xueling his life-saving trump card!
what does that mean? The answer is self-evident.
Qian Xueling guessed and thought right. As the woman had guessed recently, Zhao Ping really cared about herself. The man's seemingly indifferent attitude towards her was finally completely removed from the disguise through this bead, thus truly showing in In front of you!
But she herself did not want to accept the bead, because if the bead fell into her hand, it meant that the man with glasses lost his trump card. Losing his trump card meant that the life-saving factor was reduced when he encountered danger. This was not what she wanted to see. Unfortunately, the cursed rule There was no way she could return it, and it was impossible for her to leave the manor.
The lens stretches and the scene shifts. The foggy town road is broken by the roar of a motorcycle. Through the car window, you can see a man with glasses staring out the window expressionlessly. As before, the man is silent and unusually silent and indifferent. His face showed no emotion or joy at all.
………
The car continued to drive, and it was extremely deserted along the way. Zhao Ping, after observing the external environment, subconsciously turned his head to the side and glanced at the frowning Jamie next to him.
As expected by Zhao Ping, when Jamie didn't get an answer from his father for the first time, the blond young man who left angrily changed his destination after driving for a certain distance as in the original movie, and drove straight to the only funeral home in the town. Next to the gate.
There is no doubt that Jamie came here to discuss his wife's funeral with the owner of the funeral home. However, before entering the funeral home, both Jamie and Zhao Ping discovered a small detail, or in other words, they were walking past the funeral home in their car. When looking at a small garden on the right, a scene comes into view:
"Peck, peck, peck, peck quickly. I have rice grains in my hand. You have to eat more."
The small garden is beautiful, with tables and chairs inside. Sitting on the chair is a nervous old woman in gray clothes. The reason why she is described as "nervous" mainly comes from the fact that the old woman behaves strangely and lowers her head to fight. An imitation crow in the film was talking and chanting. The crow was obviously fake and the fake could not squeak, but the old woman still teased and stroked it as if it were a real bird. Seeing this scene, Zhao Ping, who had watched the original movie, instantly recognized it. After revealing the identity of the other party, he knew who the old woman was. She was the crazy wife of the funeral home owner Henry Walker. He had the impression that the old woman had provided the protagonist Jamie with clues about Mary Shaw and the doll Billy, and it was worth mentioning. What's interesting is that the other party is very mysterious. Throughout the film, the plot never mentions or explains anything about the old woman's past. For example, why is she crazy? For example, why does she know the relevant clues? Another example is why in the end everyone involved in this incident died but this person was the only one safe? All the mysteries are a mystery even in the original movie, so...
The moment he saw the old woman, Zhao Ping, prompted by his intuition, couldn't help but cheer up and pay more attention, and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
After crossing the garden, the car stopped. The two people got out of the car and walked straight into the funeral parlor. Soon they met the owner of the funeral parlor, that is, Henry, the old man who had a high profile in the movie.
When it comes to the name Henry, almost everyone who has watched the movie "Dead Silence" remembers who this person is. Yes, the old man is none other than Henry, the boy who watched Mary Shaw's puppet show in the theater decades ago. He is not only He had watched a puppet show, had a look at Mary Shaw's body at night after her death, witnessed the tragic state of Mary Shaw's body during a thunderstorm night, and personally experienced a woman turning into a slug!
To be precise, Henry was the first person to see Mary Shaw's soul in the true sense. Not only that, he was also the only person in the original drama to see the female Mary Shaw miraculously not dead!
Yes, Henry, who was just a young child at that time, did experience horror and crisis in the morgue. He accidentally witnessed the entire process of Mary Shaw's transformation into a lynx. The horror of the scene does not need to be mentioned. It stands to reason that witnessing a female lynx He should have screamed, but the strange thing was that Henry did not scream out of fear. He cleverly covered his mouth and finally escaped death.
Let’s not talk about the reasons for the moment. In fact, Henry is not only witty and calm, he is also a kind person. As the rainy night passed, the next day, after learning that many small town residents were killed for no apparent reason, little Henry recalled the horrific experience last night. I did something, something that seemed innocuous but was actually extremely important. I searched through textbooks and racked my brains and finally compiled a fairly smooth nursery rhyme and spread it secretly in the town. Admittedly, it was never stated clearly in the movie. Who was the original disseminator of the poem, but this does not prevent the executors from speculating. Everyone did gather to discuss this matter when they were on the train. As a result, most people believed that Henry was most likely to spread the poem first because he did not want innocent people to spread it. were brutally killed.
But unfortunately...
Kindness is not a life-saving talisman, and wit is not a life-saving card. As Jamie returns to his hometown, and as the plot officially unfolds, the old man in the original movie who had repeatedly advised Jamie not to take risks and leaked information to him many times finally became angry. He died miserably. He was killed by a female locust and his tongue was pulled out alive before he died.
Getting back to the topic, after the initial polite exchanges between the two parties in the living room, the old man took the lead and discussed the details of Lisa's funeral with Jamie. As for the body, it was transported to the small town funeral parlor in advance by renting a special car. Of course, the above is not the point, the point is. During the discussion, Jamie had already decided not to invite his father to participate, and Henry acquiesced to this without dissuading him. The reason was simple. As an old man who had lived in a small town for decades, it was impossible for Henry not to know Jamie's father. Henry also knew a lot about Jamie's mother's suicide. It is conceivable that if you try to persuade a child who still hates his father, the result is doomed to be in vain. It is useless to waste your words on him, so it is better to follow his wishes.
The conversation continued. Note that according to the development of the plot, since Jamie had not yet obtained clues from the old woman at this time, the two people who first met did not discuss the secret details about Mary Shaw, but only discussed the funeral arrangements and the corpse. As for Henry, the old man knew it well. He had been to the morgue not long ago. After seeing Lisa's tragic body with her tongue pulled out, the old man had basically guessed the cause of Lisa's death. However, Out of concern for Jamie's safety, Henry said nothing.
"By the way, what's happening to Lisa's body now? Can I take another look?"
After talking for a while, Jamie, who was next to Zhao Ping, suddenly made a request to the old man, wanting to see his wife's body again. Such a request was reasonable and reasonable. However, after hearing this, Henry frowned slightly and showed hesitation. After a long time, he said: He nodded and replied in an uncertain tone: "Yes, yes, but given your current sad state, I think it's better not to look at it. After all, the circumstances of your wife's death are really..."
There is no need to say more about what follows. Everyone present knows the reason. Let’s not mention it for the time being. At least the three people present have seen what Lisa looked like when she died. The miserable death scene that can scare a child to tears will give anyone a nightmare if they see it. , and relatives tend to shed tears and express sorrow and regret. Maybe he noticed something from the sad expression of Jamie opposite him. Henry, who could fully understand the other person's mood, paused for a moment, then changed the topic and comforted him: "But don't worry. , my assistant has now trimmed and made up the body, ensuring that Lisa will go to heaven in the same beautiful posture as before she was alive. Hey, Peng Hu, please come out and tell me how the make-up work is going!?"
"I'm coming!"
Halfway through the words, there was a twist. The old man stood up, left his seat, turned his eyes, and shouted a few times towards the back of the living room at a louder volume. Soon, the old man asked and shouted, and not long after, a response came, a rather rough voice mixed with a series of footsteps. Going to the living room, a few seconds later, a bald man wearing a funeral parlor uniform arrived in the living room.
………
The smooth scalp, the tall body, and the vicious face that doesn't look like a good person no matter how you look at it.
Peng Hu!
As Henry just shouted, the person who came was not a person with the same name, but the real Peng Hu, whose identity was a corpse makeup artist! A corpse makeup artist currently working at Henry Funeral Home!
The bald man ran all the way to the living room. Originally, he was about to report to Henry and Jamie about the makeup of the corpse. However, when he looked carefully, when he accidentally saw a man with glasses sitting on the sofa with Jamie, Peng Hu couldn't help but I was shocked!
(Damn, curse you. He is really good at picking people. He actually arranged this person who has always been selfish and only cares about himself to be next to the protagonist. It is ironic that this kind of person will personally protect Jamie?)
Of course, the above thoughts only flashed through his mind, but it is undeniable that he did not expect to see Zhao Ping next to Jamie. As expected, the other party was most likely to be an acquaintance of the protagonist, otherwise It is impossible to accompany Jamie here. As for Zhao Ping...
Watching Peng Hu's sudden appearance and observing the other party's clothes, the man with glasses also felt his heart condensed. For a while, the two of them looked at each other wordlessly.
The reason why the two did not speak was because both parties knew the rules of the curse, especially Zhao Ping. In fact, he currently wanted to ask Peng Hu and collect some useful information from the other party. Yes, despite the fact that the man with glasses has been He followed Jamie around all the time, seemingly doing nothing, but in fact it was not because he didn't want to do it but because he was restricted by the rules and he didn't dare to act arbitrarily. He did analyze the curse rules in the middle and tried to change it. He found loopholes in the rules so that he could act accordingly, but unfortunately, no matter how hard he racked his brains and thought carefully, he always failed in the end with no results. After pondering for a long time, he couldn't find any loopholes in the rules. It has to be said that this time the rules are perfect. There was no loophole to exploit, so Zhao Ping had no choice but to give up temporarily, give up looking for loopholes, and follow Jamie as he did at the beginning, following the protagonist according to the flow of the original drama. There are two purposes, one is personal protection. , and secondly, I hope that some valuable clues can be discovered in the process.
The above is the reason why Zhao Ping clearly wanted to ask Peng Hu a question but could not speak. It is worth mentioning that being unable to speak does not mean that he is unable to communicate. Just as Peng Hu knew what the man with glasses was, the same was true for Zhao Ping. He knew the bald man well, and he knew that he was a rough-looking man with a thoughtful mind. While he was busy collecting clues, the other party was most likely doing similar behavior. At this moment, after the initial surprise, the two sides began to Communicate, look at each other, and formally adopt eye contact that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
In order to avoid being punished for violating the rules, enforcers have resorted to all possible means.
"Huh? Do you two know each other?"
Seeing the two of them looking at each other in silence for a long time, Henry and Jamie were both puzzled. In the end, Henry broke the silence and asked the question.
result……
The result must be denial. Unless they want to have their survival points deducted, it is impossible for any of the two executors to nod and admit. Sure enough, as soon as Henry finished speaking, Peng Hu, who was cursed and arranged to be the old man's assistant, took the lead in shaking his head and denying: " I don’t know him. I have never seen this man with glasses. The reason why I looked at him was just accidental and curious. I didn’t expect to see an oriental face like mine in a small town.”
Zhao Ping also shook his head under the gazes of Henry and Jamie. He shook his head slightly and responded briefly: "I have the same reason as him."
Seeing the collective denial from both parties, Henry, who didn't care about the smallest details, immediately returned to the topic and asked the bald man: "How is the makeup on the corpse?"
It stands to reason that when the bald man heard the old man's question, he could have guessed what the bald man's answer would be. The answer was that it was either over or in progress, and there was no other answer. He thought so, but unexpectedly Penghu's answer surprised him. People are a little surprised...
"We have reached the final stage. Oh, by the way, Mr. Henry, what is going on with your wife? Why does she keep holding an artificial crow? In the past few days, I always see her holding that thing every time I pass by the garden. Talking to myself, it feels a little weird.”
Language is an art. After long contact with a young man named He who was good at deceiving and another man named Zhao who was good at lying, Peng Hu gradually mastered some language skills and became less straightforward. , but knew how to probe and ask questions to obtain information in a non-obtrusive way. At this moment, the bald man saw the opportunity and struck decisively, answering the old man in a curious tone. The only difference was that after answering the question, he immediately changed the direction and changed the topic. He talked about some more things that had nothing to do with the question, such as Henry's wife, such as crow, especially when the word 'crow' came out of his mouth, the bald man deliberately spoke with a thick accent, as if he was deliberately reminding someone at the scene.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ping looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes, and the bald man also glanced at Zhao Ping after finishing his words. Yes, Zhao Ping is not a slow person. With his wisdom and understanding, The ability instantly understood the meaning of the bald man's words. There was no doubt that the other party was conveying information to him in this way, implicitly conveying the intelligence clues that the other party had recently discovered. Just as the bespectacled man thought at the beginning, Peng Tiger has not been idle. Ever since he was cursed and transported to this funeral parlor as Henry's assistant, the man has been observing and exploring. After all, the small town funeral parlor is also an important place in the original movie, and there is a high possibility that some clues are hidden here. So, taking advantage of Henry's assistant status and the convenience of being able to stay here for a long time, Peng Hu focused on Henry's wife. During this period, he also kept observing the crazy woman, who was similar to Zhao Ping or He Fei and others. , Peng Hu also had doubts about the crazy woman after watching "Dead Silence" on the train.
(A crow? Peng Hu wants me to pay more attention to Henry’s wife and the fake crow? Well, the crazy woman is indeed worthy of attention. As for the crow, that thing, that thing... It seems that no one will care, right? Maybe this can be considered a point. Clues worth remembering.)
Since his bald assistant was involved in private family issues, the result was predictable. After hearing the bald man's answer, Henry felt unhappy. In addition, he found that Jamie looked suspicious after hearing this. Seeing this, Henry was afraid of leaking the news. With a straight face, he retorted directly to Peng Hu: "Isn't this the case for all mental illnesses? What's all the fuss about? Okay, go back to work."
Seeing the boss urging him, Peng Hu, who wanted to stay a little longer, could only turn around and leave reluctantly, but...
At the last moment when the bald man was about to turn around, he glanced at Zhao Ping, and finally glanced at the man opposite him. Then he quietly made a small secret movement under the gaze of the man with glasses, and raised his palm slightly to make a downward slash. , apart from the action, the bald man’s last look in Zhao Ping’s eyes was also full of murderous intent!
