Thinking of this, Will's heart skipped a beat, and his heart was raised high, stimulated by a sudden sense of horror. His body trembled. During the trembling, fear spontaneously arose. In this way, fear emerged inexplicably, and he vaguely guessed the background meaning of the situation. There is no reason to be afraid of yourself.
(What’s wrong with me? I’m frightened by the same painting for the second time. Relax, relax. I don’t have to be afraid. There’s no reason to be afraid. It’s just a child’s doodle. Even though Tom once said that he had witnessed it with his own eyes. Face man, but the other person is just a child after all. In addition, it was evening and in the dark environment, it is very likely that the child mistook the shadows of the trees for human beings. Otherwise, why would the man in the painting have arms and legs shaped like branches? Yes, If you saw it wrong, Tom must have seen it wrong. Likewise, I shouldn’t have any random thoughts. I have a master’s degree in physics and am also an atheist. Since I firmly believe in science, there is no need for me to pay special attention to a mere painting.)
"call!"
Not to mention, as an intellectual with higher education, even though he was momentarily horrified when he saw the picture, Will finally rationally explained the reason based on scientific basis. After getting a reasonable explanation, he put aside his nervousness and regained his composure, and waited for a long breath to stabilize his breath. After getting over the emotion, the man decided not to look at the painting and left. He tried his best to forget about the painting in a similar way of escaping and pretended that he didn't know anything about it.
As a result, he made a mistake.
It's as if God is deliberately trying to make things difficult for you. Many times God does have some kind of specific intention. He stared at the pictures on the table and finally calmed down. Just when Will was about to look away and stop looking at the pictures, the corner of his eye caught his eye. I discovered something again. I found two things in the corner of the already weird and incomprehensible drawing paper.
In other words, there is a smiling face above the top of the black forest and the farm house.
Two smiling faces, one black and one white.
The composition of the smiley face is extremely simple. It is nothing more than three crescent-shaped lines added to a circle. The two crescents at the top represent the eyes, while the reverse crescent at the bottom represents the mouth, a mouth that is obviously raised.
There are two smiling faces, one black and one white. The white smiling face directly borrows the background color of the paper and is currently suspended on the top of the farm. The black smiling face is deliberately painted with a pencil to deepen the color, and then appears overall gray and black. It currently exists on Top of the forest.
Seeing this, Will was stunned.
After accidentally discovering two strange smiling faces with unknown meanings, I was stunned and stunned on the spot.
It’s not surprising that Will had this reaction, because this time he was completely confused. If Will could successfully guess the meaning of the forest farm based on his personal understanding at first, then at this moment, facing the newly discovered two smiling faces , faced with two black and white smiling faces of unknown meaning, the man was completely incomprehensible.
Not only that, during the period of confusion, a bit of bone-chilling chill appeared from nowhere and instantly covered the whole body!
………
In order to welcome the arrival of the expert team, Will showed his kindness as a landlord. During dinner, the rice-haired man entertained He Fei and others with a large amount of quick-frozen food brought by his neighbors. Although it felt strange to entertain guests with quick-frozen food, he thought of the Americans. Will has never liked cooking, and because Will is a bachelor, everyone was relieved when they thought about this.
In addition, He Fei is indeed worthy of his title of "King of Fools". Facing the plot character Will, the college student showed off his leadership style. In addition to using official talk from time to time, he even hinted that Will would like to go to the institute. To increase assistance, individuals may need to provide some benefits to everyone. Bystanders were dumbfounded by various actions. The senior people were okay, but some people who boarded the train later were really shocked. Especially Li Tianheng, it seemed that Xiang Hefei's eyes were filled with surprise and astonishment, as if he were meeting each other for the first time. He really didn't expect that this always kind-hearted guy in front of him was actually a master of performance.
Obviously, He Fei did all of the above deliberately, because he understands officialdom and reality. What is reality? The reality is that taking advantage of others to eliminate disasters for others is an eternal truth that applies to both domestic and foreign countries. The reason why college students behave greedy is precisely to avoid arousing suspicion from the other party as much as possible.
Sure enough, He Fei's intentional efforts had a good effect. Seeing that Team Leader He had a leadership temperament and was asking for benefits, Will was determined. As the saying goes, I am not afraid that you will ask for benefits, but I am afraid that you will not fulfill your responsibilities. In this typical American officialdom style, the man with the rice dumpling hair directly said that once the equipment arrives, he will give it to him with his heart.
As the guests and hosts ended the meal happily, the time also entered the night. Will bid farewell to the guests and went back to his room to sleep. The executors also went back to their rooms one after another, but...
The so-called going back to the room to rest was just an appearance. After confirming that snoring soon came from Will's room, the executors who originally went back to the room to rest walked out of the room and reunited in the living room as if they had agreed in advance.
Time: 23:05 late at night, in the Dalosun area, in the middle of the living room of Will Farm.
Glancing at the dark night outside the window, He Fei turned his gaze to look at everyone. He said he was staring at the scene to cover everything, but in fact his gaze was biased. He intentionally or unintentionally focused on observing these members, and those so-called members were drawn by lot during the day. The selected 6 people!
Yes, the results of the lottery screening first proposed by Zhao Ping were obtained during the day, and then 6 members who were stranded on the farm and 6 members who had to go to the forest to collect cards were selected.
Six of them, He Fei, Cheng Ying, Qian Xueling, Chen Shuihong, Peng Yuxiang and Chen Guangyu, all drew white paper. Zhao Ping, Kong Ling and Zhou Bingbing drew the 'forest' paper ball!
In addition to Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao and Li Tianheng who had already volunteered to go, the six executors who were responsible for rushing to the forest to collect cards were selected.
When the draw ended, Zhou Bingbing burst into tears.
Looking at the death note with the word "forest" written in her hand, the female accountant collapsed. She burst into tears and sobbed on the spot. She was dumbfounded and scared to death. After learning that she had to go to the nearby forest to find the card, she was stunned. After the card was played, he slumped down on the ground and was shaking wildly. Of course, some were sad and others were happy, some were desperate and some were happy. Among them, Chen Shuihong, Peng Yuxiang and Chen Guangyu were the happiest!
Staring at the blank piece of paper in his hand, the middle-aged fat man was so excited that his fat body was shaking. Peng Yuxiang and Chen Guangyu were both overjoyed, secretly exclaiming, their joy was beyond words, God bless them, finally, they no longer have to go to the forest to die!
Let’s not talk about Zhou Bingbing’s sadness and tears, and let’s not talk about how happy Chen Shuihong and the other three were. Regarding going to the forest to find cards, Kong Ling still maintained an indifferent attitude as usual, not only without fear, but also completely unafraid. , the girl even deliberately cheered for being lucky enough to be chosen. The others looked at her and secretly said, "This guy is really weird by nature. Doesn't she know what it means to go to the forest?"
As for a man named Zhao who also won the lottery...
The man with glasses broke out in a cold sweat.
Opening the note, he lowered his head and looked at it. After seeing the extremely eye-catching word "forest", he froze on the spot. During the silence, a drop of sweat streaked along his forehead and his face, and the corner of his mouth twitched while sweating.
Witnessing the man's reaction on the spot, everyone had different expressions. He Fei frowned, Cheng Ying was expressionless, Qian Xueling's face was pale and full of worry, and Peng Hu simply opened his mouth and showed a gloating expression.
If the bald man blatantly took pleasure in his misfortune, then Kong Ling and Chen Xiaoyao, who did not dare to do so blatantly, were both secretly happy and couldn't help laughing.
What do you mean by shooting yourself in the foot? This is called shooting oneself in the foot. Retribution. This is typical retribution. You, Zhao Jingjing, were so smart that you suggested that everyone draw lots. Well, now it’s good. You also won the prize.
Let's get back to the topic. At this moment, after scanning the scene and everyone, and ignoring Zhou Bingbing's still pitiful expression, He Fei didn't talk nonsense, went directly to the topic and talked about the key points, and said something in a solemn tone on the spot that made people laugh. If you are surprised:
"Will seems to know something."
Um?
Sure enough, as soon as this statement came out, the crowd was stunned. Although they had long realized that the college students must have something to say when they gathered everyone, they still did not expect that He Fei would first focus on the plot character named Will. Of course , If you don’t understand it, you still don’t understand it, and if you are surprised, you are surprised. Since He Fei is willing to say this, he must have his own personal opinion.
"What do you mean..." As a veteran whose curiosity has been increasing for a long time, He Fei just finished his words, and Cheng Ying followed closely and asked in return.
Facing Cheng Ying's curious inquiry and seeing everyone staring at him closely, He Fei said nothing. He spoke again: "During dinner, I talked to Will about the nearby scenery. Will answered fluently at first, but when I asked When we got out of the woods to the south of the other party, I noticed that his expression changed slightly for a moment, and although he quickly returned to normal, his weird reaction was still caught by me."
"Huh? Is this really happening? Why didn't I see it? I remember that when you asked about the forest, the guy didn't seem to have any weird reaction, and the answer was quite reasonable. It's just that the sentence was not very clear. Yes, that's what he said at the time, The reason is that I just moved here recently and haven’t been to the woods for a while.”
Seeing the college students introducing the topic into the forest, the six executors who were about to embark on the adventure immediately concentrated and pricked up their ears. They were right, but Peng Hu still found doubts in what He Fei said, and immediately raised refutation and started questioning. .
The bald man thought that his rebuttal was correct, but unfortunately no one at the scene paid attention to him. Everyone gathered in the living room still had their eyes fixed on He Fei. If newcomers are inconvenient to speak due to lack of experience, then senior people are really accustomed to it. After understanding, there is no doubt that they understand He Fei, and because of their deep understanding, they know that since He Fei deliberately talked about this matter, there will be a reasonable explanation by then.
As expected, the senior guessed it correctly, and He Fei shook his head slightly after listening to Peng Hu's question. He shook his head and explained: "No, Brother Peng, you are wrong. I admit Will's answer at that time. It’s basically logical, and it’s also a perfect excuse to say that I just moved and I’m not sure, but…”
At this point, he paused for a moment, then frowned, then He Fei changed the subject and continued: "But the problem is that his answer is seriously inconsistent with Will's own character!"
Your own personality?
Keeping his brows furrowed, He Fei nodded without waiting for others to ask questions. He Fei explained first, "Yes, it's just my personality. Don't think that I was just pretending to chat casually with Will during dinner. In fact, it seemed normal." Chatting can often reveal a person's personal information and hobbies and habits. Through chatting, I learned that Will is an elite. Although he has a master's degree and has a decent job, he prefers to relax and enjoy sports. , during the chat, he once mentioned that he loves traveling and exploring. You can imagine what a person like this who often exercises and loves to play will do first when he comes to a strange place with pleasant scenery."
A stone stirs up thousands of waves, and a word wakes up the dreamer.
Relying on his extraordinary wisdom and extraordinary eloquence, He Fei used his expertise to focus on analysis during the narration. After analyzing Will's personal characteristics, the college student finally raised a doubt, an abnormal doubt that was seriously inconsistent with Will's character.
Yes, since Will obviously likes to play and play sports, why doesn't he go to the forest after moving here? Even if you were busy with moving and settling in and other trivial matters at first, what about now? It has been nearly a week since we got here, but there is still no action. Will, who claims to be a fun-loving person, still has not been to the woods close to his home.
This is unreasonable and seriously inconsistent with Will's own character, unless...
Unless Will knows something about the black forest that is only one mile away from his farm!
"Holy crap! How can you, Lao He, be able to spot such a trivial detail? Genius, it was such a pity that you didn't apply for the police academy. After graduation, you directly joined the criminal police team, and then frequently It won't be a problem to solve crimes step by step and eventually climb to the position of director of the police investigation bureau. Hahaha, well, but then again, what you just said does make sense. If the American named Will is indeed a travel hobby If so, your above guess can be completely established.”.
As a standard joker, Chen Xiaoyao always makes jokes at any time. Sure enough, after hearing what He Fei said was well-founded, Taoist Chen immediately jumped off the sofa and praised him wildly. In the end, even he thought it was a bit off topic. The Taoist priest quickly changed the topic and got back on track. His face that was full of excitement just now suddenly turned serious!
Fortunately, except for the newcomers, most of the people present knew what kind of character Chen Xiaoyao was, and had long been accustomed to the young Taoist priest's sudden nervousness. He Fei smiled wryly and was noncommittal. With Chen Xiaoyao making such a fuss, the atmosphere seemed to be relaxing, but unfortunately it was only relaxed. Staying on the surface, after understanding the cause and effect, across from him, Zhao Ping, who had been dull since he won the 'Forest' lottery, suddenly spoke and directly asked He Fei the question that everyone was most concerned about at the moment. It was also more... This is the issue that the six forest team members are most concerned about:
"So what are you going to do next?"
As mentioned many times in the past, He Fei may joke around with others, but college students rarely play tricks on men with glasses, especially when the man with glasses communicates with him in a serious tone, all he needs to do is They are often straightforward, replying in the same solemn tone, and explaining in a logical and logical manner that is enough to convince the other party.
"First of all, I want to reiterate the logical rules of supernatural missions. If nothing else is discussed, at least the curse will never issue unsolvable missions. Based on the above criteria, I personally think that the strategy of dividing the troops into two groups is feasible, or in other words, regardless of the Goal 1: Survive for 7 days or Goal 2: Collect cards? As long as you execute it, you will always be able to find a way out to complete the mission. This means that both the farm stranded team led by me and the card search team led by you have There are ways to survive, but the only uncertainty is whether the ways to survive are the same. In other words, it can be understood as whether there are two different ways to survive for the two major mission goals."
"Because the way of survival is unknown, I plan to launch an investigation, giving priority to Will as the key investigation target, and try to get valuable clues from this person as much as possible. As long as there are enough clues, I am certain to solve the mystery and find a way out. By the way, based on past experience , the forest to the south should have the ability to block signals. As a response, when you lead the team into the forest, if something big happens, I will use the spiritual link to inform you in time."
Obviously, considering the complex character of the man with glasses who is always cautious and even timid, He Fei clearly informed the other party of the nature of this supernatural mission in a candid and public way. In addition to fully informing the other party of his personal analysis, He Fei also included a few words at the end. Talking about the communication problem between the two groups, it is conceivable that in a strange forest that is completely dark even in broad daylight, even a fool would not believe you if you said there is no danger in it. Since it is basically certain that there is some unknown danger in the forest, so dangerous It is very likely that the source has the ability to block communication signals. In order to eliminate the other party's concerns, He Fei made it clear that the two groups of people can communicate through a psychic link that can ignore supernatural interference.
Sure enough, after receiving He Fei's complete response and repeated assurances, Zhao Ping, who had been flustered, completely stopped talking. However, although he no longer had any problem keeping silent, if you look closely, you will find that the man is currently using covert actions to He was doing another thing, such as quietly scanning the scene after taking the reassurance pill delivered by He Fei. Under the lens, a pair of eyes began to scan and look at the faces of the other five forest group members. His eyes occasionally passed over...
Because his behavior was so secretive and subtle, no one at the scene was aware of it. However, nothing is absolute. Although the man's secretive actions were not noticed by most people, including He Fei, they were picked up by a Taoist named Chen who always cared about men. Under the eyes, and then...
(Maybe I should try to act alone? Although it is obviously very dangerous to be alone in the forest, why do I have the feeling that being with a large group of people is more dangerous than being alone? It's strange, is it mine? illusion?)
"Captain, I, I have something to say."
Just when Chen Taoist was thinking wildly, and just when He Fei was about to announce the dissolution after talking about business, a voice came from the crowd, a timid female voice.
Xun Sheng looked around and saw that the speaker was none other than Zhou Bingbing.
I don't know whether it was because she was under too much psychological pressure or because she had opinions about the results of the lottery. Seeing that the conversation was coming to an end, the female accountant couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly spoke to signal that she had something to say.
As for what Zhou Bingbing plans to say? Almost everyone present could guess at least eight or nine points.
At this moment, looking at Zhou Bingbing's pale face, He Fei couldn't help but sigh in his heart. While sighing secretly, he also felt an inexplicable sadness deep in his heart. Destiny, this is the fate of the executor selected by the curse. Before, you were still an ordinary person living in the real world. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, you were separated from reality and trapped in a mysterious alien space called the Cursed Space. Here you need to face the monsters and dangers. If you are not careful, you will die. To be honest, He Fei can understand Zhou Bingbing's current state of mind and can deeply understand the woman's fear and even despair. Unfortunately, he can't help him because everyone on the scene is the same. If he only treats you If one person feels pity, how should the others feel? Where will the fairness of the draw be?
"Why."
Facing Zhou Bingbing's pitiful and expectant gaze, He Fei sighed and chose to close his eyes lightly without answering, while Cheng Ying was not even more direct. After noticing the woman's obvious unwillingness to go, he stood up directly and then walked over to Zhou Bingbing. Bingbing looked at her with horrified eyes and scolded her coldly and decisively: "I don't want you to forget my earlier warning, and I also don't want you to mention any refusal, otherwise, I will kill you, and I will kill you now! "
As expected, under the unique murderous intent of a professional killer and with the strong warning, Zhou Bingbing shut up instantly. After that, she was trembling with tears in her eyes, not daring to say even one more word.
As for Cheng Ying, after threatening Zhou Bingbing with death, the short-haired girl did not leave any ink and directly replaced He Fei and told everyone at the scene: "Okay, we have said all that needs to be said tonight, and we will officially divide the troops into two groups to implement the plan tomorrow morning. , Disband now!”
The short meeting ended, and everyone returned to their respective rooms as previously arranged. The male executors lived in the downstairs room, while the female executors stepped onto the stairs to the second floor. It seemed that the matter had come to an end, but...
At this time, as everyone left the living room and rushed to the room, Peng Yuxiang heard the sound, and he was the only one who heard the sound.
Bah, bah bah...
"Ahem!"
An FM noise similar to a radio suddenly appeared in the eardrums. The sound was extremely brief and lasted only 3 seconds. However, it was precisely this brief 3-second noise that caused the thin man to cough again. Of course, coughing was not the point. The point was that after hearing the sound, Peng Yuxiang turned around curiously and observed blankly. Driven by the unique human curiosity, he looked back and tried to find the source of the sound. As a result...
He did not find the source of the noise. Instead, he accidentally found someone nearby staring at him. A female executor who was rushing to the second floor through the stairs was staring at him maliciously. Her expression was half-smiling but not smiling, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent!
