Chapter 940: Gathering at the hotel

Style: Science Author: arctic hunterWords: 6249Update Time: 24/01/18 12:05:36
The night was dark, the wind was blowing, and countless densely packed fallen leaves, visible or invisible, were flying and rustling in the strong wind.

Hooray, hooray.

"Ugh! Ahhhhh!"

Coupled with the howling cold wind, mixed with the falling leaves, in the middle of the road, the tongue-less female locust was twisting her body, raising her head and screaming. I don't know whether the broken tongue affected the female locust's ability or the appearance of the Yin soldiers interfered with the restraint of the ability. Chen Xiaoyao regained his freedom. , the body lightened up, and the original pressure dissipated in an instant.

As the saying goes, an opportunity cannot be lost, and it will never come back again. Seeing that the restraints were lifted, Taoist Chen, who had long wanted to escape from this place, was overjoyed. However, who would have thought that before he could run away with joy on his face, dizziness hit him, and an uncontrollable intensity hit him. A feeling of dizziness swept through the brain on the spot. In addition to the dizziness, another feeling of exhaustion and weakness also enveloped the whole body. The dizziness and fatigue were so sudden that Chen Xiaoyao, who had just recovered, almost staggered and fell.

(Oh my god! Sure enough, sure enough...)

There is no doubt that the side effects have come out, and the standard sequelae of using the Tiger Talisman have appeared. At this moment, Taoist Chen, who has consumed a lot of physical energy, is now extremely uncomfortable. His discomfort is no less than that of Nvqi's tongue-cutting. He is staggering and staggering, and his limbs are shaking. He was so weak that he almost collapsed. The only good thing was that he held back. With the recent increase in energy reserves, he resisted dizziness and suppressed physical exhaustion. First he gritted his teeth to stabilize his body, and then ran away without hesitation, knowing full well that he was still not there yet. After escaping the danger, he ran decisively and ran ahead of time, taking advantage of the short interval when the female locust was still screaming in pain to find a chance for himself. Before leaving, he did not forget to give a death order to the Yin soldiers Qianhu:

"Stop this thing! How long can we stop it!!!"

Da da da da da!

After yelling out the last words, the next moment, Chen Xiaoyao didn't care about wiping off the cold sweat, not caring about his physical fatigue, and full of panic, Chen Xiaoyao turned around and ran away without stopping, staggering and hurriedly running in a horrifying way that he might fall to the ground and fall into coma at any time. , ran away desperately along the highway, only hating her parents for losing two legs, her panic was palpable, and her embarrassment was clearly evident.

Of course, panic returned to panic, and embarrassment returned to embarrassment. With strong perseverance, Taoist Chen actually achieved his goal and successfully escaped from the desperate situation.

He ran farther and farther, and his figure gradually disappeared into the distant night, but...

Because he was focusing on escaping and only running wildly, something happened during the period. A detail that was small enough to be ignored was not noticed by the young Taoist priest, such as the gaze of the pupils, the dancing of blood beads, and the fleeting ferocious viciousness, yes. , the moment Chen Xiaoyao turned around to run away, a tiny drop of blood appeared vaguely from nowhere and splashed, past the soldiers blocking the road, and finally shot straight ahead, until it flew silently into the ears of the young man who was running wildly ahead. .

………

Regarding the movie "Dead Silence", I watched it several times, combined with my personal analysis, and finally came to the following argument:

First of all, it can be determined that the biggest threat in the entire movie comes from Mary Shaw, the vengeful evil spirit who was killed out of hatred and transformed into a wolf. The female wolf has great supernatural powers and cruel methods. What is even more terrifying is that Mary Shaw is sane and is a human being. It is a rare special spirit that knows that it is a locust. It is a vicious female locust with intelligence similar to that of humans or even beyond that of ordinary people. Not only does 'she' know that she is a locust, she also knows how to combine her own abilities with ingenuity to plot against others, with the purpose of killing others. Jamie died, and Jamie did indeed die at the end of the film. The film showed the audience a standard unsolvable ending. However, the mission is different from the movie. There is always a way to survive in supernatural missions. Now the curse requires the executor to stay in the town. For 5 days, in addition to always worrying about his own safety, he also had to consider Jamie's life and death during the process. It felt extremely unreasonable. Who can 100% guarantee that Jamie will not die when he knows that the female mango is so powerful? In other words, as long as Nvji is willing during these five days, the opponent will always have a chance to kill Jamie. Even if the enforcer's personal protection is actually impossible to guard him tightly, there is always a gap in the hundred secrets.

After thinking about this, I changed my mind. On the premise that Jamie would die sooner or later, I thought that this supernatural mission called "Death of Death" could not be completed in a time-consuming manner. I could even guess that as the mission time limit gets closer to the end, As the day progresses, the hawks' attacks will become more frequent. Not only are they more frequent, but their power will also gradually increase.

In summary, combined with the logic of time lapse, the answer is obvious, which is to solve it in advance, before the end of the mission, before Jamie is killed, and to completely eliminate the murderous evil spirit named Mary Shaw. Otherwise, what awaits me and everyone else is the outcome of group destruction.

This is a rare supernatural mission with no survivors, an extremely confrontational mission between the wolf and the executor where you die or I die. As for how to solve the female wolf? Or, does the female locust have any weaknesses and where are they? I don't know yet.

………

The third day of the supernatural mission, time, 22:17 at night.

Relying on Chen Xiaoyao's step forward, the red car finally got rid of the female tiger's pursuit. After driving for a while, it reached the end and returned to the motel where Jamie was staying.

Boom! Da da da!

As the hotel door suddenly opened, followed by the sound of footsteps, the three of them walked into the hotel. As far as they could see, Zhao Ping, whose mouth was full of blood, was being held in the middle by Jamie and Cheng Ying, one on the left and the other on the right. He helped the man cross the dining room, then walked to the backyard and rushed to the guest room.

Although there was no staff at the front desk of the hotel due to late at night, and there was no one dining in the restaurant, it stands to reason that the three of them would not be seen by others when they walked through. However, things sometimes happen to be coincidences like this. Even though the three of them walked in a hurry and moved quickly, they actually walked through. This scene was accidentally seen by someone. Strictly speaking, this person was not a stranger. It was the hotel receptionist Yang Yang who had already left work but just came out of the toilet!

As mentioned before, since Yang Yang has been staying here as a staff member since he entered the mission world, the woman is very familiar with the hotel environment. Familiarity is the second best. The key is that she cannot run away and force herself under the unreasonable regional restrictions of the curse. He was stranded in the town with his scalp and stayed in the hotel with frustrations. Fortunately, despair and hope coexisted. For example, when a person's fear reaches the limit, he often finds hope. Not long after, the appearance of a man with glasses rekindled Yang Yang's hope. It seems that there is hope for safety, but unexpectedly, the development of the situation is completely opposite. Faced with Yang Yang's joyful and proactive advances, the man actually responded to her with ignorance and indifference.

Ever since, a chain effect has occurred.

If she had pinned her hopes on Zhao Ping at first, now her sensory evaluation of the man with glasses has been extremely bad. It was precisely because Zhao Ping ignored him at the beginning that Yang Yang also started to treat other senior people. The sensory evaluation of women will inevitably become worse. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, in the eyes of women, these so-called senior people are essentially a group of hypocritical people. When they were on the hell train, most of them had a kind and seemingly friendly attitude. They never thought about it. When entering the mission, she only cared about herself and ignored the newcomers. Although she only came into contact with one person, Zhao Ping, Yang Yang still classified all the senior people into the same category as Zhao Ping.

As you can imagine, due to the influence of preconceptions, this female programmer in real life turned from happiness to sadness. Just now she saw an acquaintance again. In addition to Jamie, the protagonist of the movie, she also saw a person who seemed to be named Cheng Ying. Not only that, she also witnessed Zhao Ping bleeding from the corner of his mouth, being held between the two of them.

At this moment, in the dark corridor near the toilet of the hotel, Yang Yang was silent, staring at the three of them with eyes full of hatred and even a little pleasure, staring at Zhao Ping's staggering back as he was being carried to the backyard.

(Looking at this miserable situation, he must have been attacked by a locust. He deserves it...)

This was Yang Yang's instinctive thought after discovering the tragic situation of the bespectacled man. This was the thought. In fact, Zhao Ping's injury was of no benefit to her. The logic was very simple. Because like everyone else, she had watched the video and memorized the mission information in advance, she actually She also knows the cruel rule that once Jamie dies, all executors will be wiped out collectively. In addition, she also understands that the purpose of the man with glasses always following Jamie is to personally protect the safety of the protagonist. Generally speaking, it is also beneficial for her to do so. If the man with glasses has The truth is true, but for some reason, seeing Zhao Ping's tragic injury, the woman was still mostly happy.

It is also worth mentioning that it was already the third day of the mission, and it was also her third day in the hotel. Having watched the movie "Dead Silence", she was initially scared to death of the female named Mary Shaw, lest she be killed by the female... She was really worried about the attack at first. However, as the day went by, the things she worried about did not happen. The female locust did not attack her, and she lived well. Gradually, Yang Yang came up with ideas. After guessing, I gradually recognized and even analyzed a fact that is close to the truth, that is...

His identity seems safe!

It’s not surprising that Yang Yang thinks this way. If you think about it carefully, there is some logic to follow. First of all, you must understand that the role she plays is a hotel receptionist. The receptionist is a dispensable role. After all, she works in a hotel in the movie "Dead Silence" The personnel have neither shown their faces nor been attacked by hawks, and in my impression, the hotel staff in the movie have nothing to do with the plot. If this is the case, doesn't it mean that cursing the identity assigned to oneself has many benefits? As long as she doesn't imitate the bespectacled man and take the initiative to have contact with Jamie and other plot characters, then she may always be safe!

Good news, really good news, as long as Jamie doesn't die, he will be safe and survive until the end of the mission and return to the train after 5 days.

The more he thought about it, the more he believed it was possible. Yang Yang gradually became relieved and became bolder. With this idea, Yang Yang, who was no longer as afraid and frustrated as before, made up his mind decisively not to contact Jamie and the senior people. In this way, she can avoid getting involved in the incident and avoid being regarded as a target for killing.

Thinking of this, Yang Yang moved. After looking at the clock on the wall, he walked through the restaurant and walked towards the door, intending to close the business and go back to his room to rest. However, just as she was about to reach out and close the door...

Buzz buzz.

Another series of cars roared from far to near, watching the car lights shining. Not long after, a black car parked outside the hotel door, and then three people, three men, got out. The scene in front of them was ordinary, nothing more than a few or Foreign tourists who want to stay or eat. After all, there is only one hotel in Ravenel. Where else can foreigners go if they don’t come here?

The only doubt is...

Similar to Jamie and the others, the three people currently walking towards the hotel are actually two supporting one person?

(Huh?)

Seeing this, with some curiosity, Yang Yang paused the closing of the door and started performing, immediately assuming the role of hotel receptionist as she had done recently. However, as the three of them entered the restaurant, or when she saw the clothes and appearance of the three in front of her, Yang Yang unexpectedly Instinct was stunned and suddenly shocked!

Putting aside how surprised Yang Yang was at the moment, the camera shifted and looked along the woman's field of view towards the door. The people coming were all familiar, a middle-aged white man and two Asian youths. One of the young men was wearing a jacket that was similar to that of the middle-aged white man. The other person in the trench coat looked like a priest. He was currently breathing heavily with his head lowered. He was closely supported by the middle-aged man and the young man in the trench coat. As he walked into the restaurant and looked around, he was probably quite satisfied with the hotel environment. The middle-aged man The white man first pointed at himself and the young man in the windbreaker, and then the man opened his mouth and ordered in a casual tone: "Miss, please give us a guest room, oh, by the way..."

Having said this, the man paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand as if he had remembered something. He pointed at the weak priest while shrugging his shoulders and added: "As for the priest, he paid for it out of his own pocket."

Obviously, in order to save money as much as possible, the man showed his stingy nature. He was afraid of spending too much money. He decisively drew a clear line and declared that he and the other party were not in the same group. This move actually saved himself some accommodation expenses.

Unfortunately, his words were ignored by the receptionist. It was not because Yang Yang ignored him, but because the person who came was too familiar. As described above, she knew all the people who came.

At this moment, the middle-aged man who is looking around is none other than Inspector Jim from the movie "Dead Silence". He is an important supporting character who appeared in the original drama. The young man dressed as a priest is also very familiar. The other person is. The senior person, a team veteran who has the same status as Zhao Ping and Cheng Ying, although he has not had much contact with the other party, can still call the other party by name, Chen Xiaoyao, yes, it is the young man who I remember talking nonsense and making jokes. As for the side, As for the other young man who is helping Chen Xiaoyao...

Surprisingly, he is the captain of their team, He Fei!

………

The scene shifts, the camera stretches, passes through the restaurant, enters the backyard, and comes to the hotel room used for accommodation and rest.

In a guest room with a fox head printed on the door, in the bedroom, Cheng Ying, who was dressed in a nurse's uniform, was currently treating the wounds of Zhao Ping, who was lying on the bed unconscious, with her fingers flying. There was a table next to her. The guest room has its own medical kit.

Various tools were taken out from time to time, and various medicines were used continuously. I don't know whether it was Cheng Ying's timely treatment or the medicine's effectiveness. After a lot of work, the man with glasses successfully stopped the bleeding.

"You, you said your name was Cheng Ying before, right? Then Miss Cheng, how is my friend doing now?"

Sure enough, when the treatment was completed and the blood flow stopped, Zhan Mi, who had been standing beside the girl worriedly and observing without waiting for the girl to speak, rushed to ask questions to test the results, and asked about the current situation of his friend in an extremely concerned tone. The young man was anxious and worried, but unfortunately Cheng Ying But he didn't answer immediately. He just put down the medicine bottle under the anxious gaze of the other party, then reached out to test, opened the mouth of the man with glasses and observed carefully. After a long time, the girl responded calmly with a slightly relaxed face: "Although the tongue is injured, fortunately it is not broken. I have just sprayed a large amount of hemostatic agent on it, and now I just need to wait for the wound to solidify. It will be basically fine after the injury is healed, but I may have slurred speech in the near future, which will slightly affect my speech."

Indeed, as Cheng Ying said, as a professional killer who has a deep understanding of human body structure, the girl is fully capable of judging the result of the injury. After the examination just now, she found that although Zhao Ping's tongue was damaged and there was blood loss, the injury was not serious after all. , basically within the acceptable range. After all, unlike Peng Hu, who had his tongue cut off and was hospitalized in a coma, Zhao Ping's tongue was not cut off, which means that as long as his tongue is not cut off, it is unlikely to be life-threatening. At present, the man with glasses is only in severe pain. It was just a shock and coma due to stimulation.

"call!"

After hearing this, Jamie immediately relaxed. The tension that had been at a loss earlier dissipated and he relaxed. Although Zhao Ping's friend identity was purely a curse and a fiction, it was undeniable that the curse was a perfect fiction. Putting aside the rest, at least for Jamie personally. In his memory, the man with glasses was indeed a good friend he had known for a long time. That was true, but it was also true. When he heard that his friend was fine, he felt a lot better, fearing that something might happen to the man with glasses. Yes, no matter what he said about the other person It was also because he was worried about Jamie's safety that he rushed to the town with him. What if something happened to the other party in the meantime, what should he do? Even if the legal aspect has nothing to do with him, he can't forgive himself in his heart, so naturally, after receiving the affirmative answer from Cheng Ying that Zhao Ping was fine, the young man's nervousness subsided. First he took a long breath subconsciously, and then But as if something suddenly occurred to him, he slapped his head and turned around. As he rushed to the living room, he said to himself: "Since the injury has not healed, I will call the town clinic now."

Out of concern for his friend's injury, Jamie tried his best and planned to contact the clinic to transport Zhao Ping away. Without waiting for Cheng Ying's response, Jamie, who always believed that hospitalization was the best solution, had already arrived in the living room and walked to the phone. However, just before Cheng Ying responded, Jamie He stepped into the living room and picked up the phone and was about to make a call...

squeak.

The door was pushed open for no reason, and footsteps appeared as the door opened. The next moment, three people walked into the living room, three acquaintances who had an impression in Jamie's eyes.

Looking for reputation, the first thing that caught his eye was Detective Jim, who had interrogated him at the city police station, his assistant He Fei, and the priest surnamed Chen!

Seeing this, Jamie was stunned on the spot, just like a sculpture as if he was electrocuted.

(What's going on? Why do these three people appear together?)

Of course, he was shocked and confused, and if he thought about it carefully, part of the reason was that the young man could quickly guess that, aside from other things, what was the purpose of Detective Jim and his Asian assistant coming here? He knew that it was nothing more than investigating the case and interrogating himself. Even so, in fact, the person who really caused him to be stunned for a long time was not Inspector Jim, but the priest surnamed Chen!

Yes, it was Father Chen who looked tired and out of breath in front of him. You must know that the other party did something crazy not long ago. In order to allow most people to escape, the other party actually jumped out of the car to stop the female locust. You must know that she was a locust. A terrifying evil spirit that almost killed his friend Zhao Ping faced the female locust alone. The consequences could be imagined. He originally thought that the other party would be doomed, but what he didn't expect was that the other party was not dead and now he came back alive. ! ?

(Not dead? Not actually dead? Could it be that the priest really has the means to fight against evil spirits?)

"Hey Jamie, long time no see!"

As mentioned above, witnessing the sudden appearance of a group of acquaintances, Jamie was momentarily frozen in silence, and the blond young man fell into astonishment. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of Inspector Jim, it seemed to be the instinctive guilty reaction of a suspect when he saw the police investigating, and he always regarded Detective Jim, whom he regarded as a key suspect, also didn't care about the other party's reaction. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, before Jamie could say anything, Detective Jim, who had driven here specially to find evidence of the youth's crime, smiled and raised his hand. , greeted Jamie opposite who was holding a phone and looking up, and teased the blond young man in a tone that looked at the criminals completely. Whether it was body movements or facial expressions, everything was exactly the same as when he was in the police station.

………

Suspicion is a seed. Once suspicion arises, the consequences will often intensify and become uncontrollable. Through the movie, the audience can clearly see that Detective Jim is an excellent police detective. Although his character is worrying and his behavior is inelegant, it is undeniable that he is dedicated to his duties. , not only has rich experience in handling cases, but also has his own set of logical concepts for solving cases, such as collecting evidence, and then focusing the investigation on the relatives of the deceased first.

The reason for such investigation comes precisely from past experience in handling cases. To give a simple example, if you are a criminal investigation police officer, when you search the crime scene, you do not find a single key clue, but the reporter and the first witness are both. Husband of the deceased, if it were you, would you doubt the husband of the deceased?

The answer is yes, it is inevitable. In addition, he has taken over similar cases in the past. To sum up, Inspector Jim seriously doubts Jamie. Even if there is no evidence, it still does not prevent Inspector Jim from doubting this person, or that he The reason why he was willing to drive and follow Jamie to his hometown of Ravenel this time was to find evidence of Jamie's murder. Once the evidence was obtained, he would definitely arrest the other party and personally send the villain who murdered his wife to prison. prison.

"Hey Jamie, long time no see!"

(Fuck Squid! It’s that bastard mustache again, and he actually followed you here!)

Inspector Jim had always suspected that he was a suspect, and Jamie knew about it. The result was undoubted. Seeing the other party smiling and hearing the other party making fun of him, he suddenly came to his senses. The young man's expression immediately darkened, because he had a very strong impression of Jim. Damn, how could Jamie respond to the man’s so-called greeting? Instead, he cursed in his mind and responded with silence.

Seeing the young man's reaction, Inspector Jim didn't mind. On the contrary, He Fei's eyes flashed. He first quickly glanced at the scene in the living room, and then started performing. After basically confirming that there was no danger in the scene, he turned to look down at him and panted. Chen Xiaoyao kept asking: "By the way, Father Chen, you said that you were trying to prevent the evil spirits from harming your friends before, which caused you to collapse from exhaustion, right? After hearing what you said, I am more interested in the two friends you mentioned. Very interested, where are they now?"

The tour gradually led to the topic, and gradually brought the topic to the focus of the incident without violating the rules. Regarding this, He Fei's intention was obvious, and Chen Xiaoyao also knew it well. As expected, as soon as He Fei finished speaking, Chen Xiaoyao understood it and immediately reluctantly He raised his head and responded, but...

Before that, there are some additional things to mention, such as where has He Fei been recently? For example, how did Fei Fei and Inspector Jim stay together with Chen Xiaoyao? Another example is how the two parties met, how they got to know each other, etc. Many problems seem complicated, but in fact the explanation is not complicated. The key lies in four words, that is, chance and coincidence.
