"Huh? Card No. 2!"
Looking at the items in the young man's hand, as expected, Kong Ling blurted out the full name of the card with a shocked expression. His face was not only surprised but also filled with joy. Seeing the girl focus on the card in her hand, Chen Xiaoyao became even more proud. First he nodded, and then without the other party asking, he took the initiative to explain himself and stated: "Yes, Miss Ethereal, you are right. I only appeared here because I took off the card. I don't think I need to explain the specific logic." Have you explained it? With your clever mind, you have almost figured out the whole situation. Yes, this thing has a hidden space mechanism. As long as someone takes off the card, the mechanism will be triggered instantly, and then the person will be teleported to various parts of the forest in a random way. place."
"It's a coincidence that I was hunting crows in other parts of the forest. I never thought that the big tree where the crows stayed had a card stuck on it. Of course, I took off the card immediately, but by chance, I was teleported to my sister. In front of you."
Fearing that the girl would complain, Chen Xiaoyao responded respectfully and told the truth about how he obtained the card.
As for the ethereal...
The girl didn't speak or move. She just turned her head and glanced around the scene after showing an enlightened expression. As far as she could see, except for the light from the central bonfire, the surroundings were completely dark. It was not bright at all. There is still darkness below.
After confirming that there was no danger nearby, Kong Ling turned around and frowned slightly, then asked a key question that Chen Xiaoyao didn't expect: "Okay, I know about the card, the logic of the space mechanism There is no need for you to explain the principle. In fact, what I really want to ask is, you, how did you become such a mess? The robbery of my roast chicken before proved that you were very hungry, and where was your backpack? "
"Oh my God! Don't mention this matter. I'm so fucking embarrassed to say it. That's you. If it were anyone else, I would cut it off and talk about the key points. Since the ethereal girl asked, I'll say it no matter what. Bu Luo tells the complete story!”
"Come on, come on, stop standing, let's sit down and talk."
With a thick skin that has always been as thick as a city wall, after complimenting the other party a little, Chen Xiaoyao started narrating without stopping. After he and the girl sat back under the tree, he immediately turned to the topic with a solemn expression, and then addressed the girl in an extremely serious tone. He said something that was enough to make anyone’s hair stand on end and horrified when they heard it:
"Sister Ethereal, don't believe me if I can't tell you. We are finished. Including you and me, all the executors who enter the forest are doomed. There is basically no hope of survival. Unless a miracle happens, the six of us are destined to destroy the group. This is a special mission."
"To be honest, I don't have much expectations for whether I can still walk out of the forest alive. At the moment, I just hope that He Fei and the others who have not entered the forest can persevere and survive this disaster. After all, as long as He Fei is still alive, we will have a better future. A slim hope of resurrection.”
After hearing this, the girl couldn't help but frown. Chen Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and shook his head and continued: "After listening to what I said, I think you will ask why? Okay, since you want to know, then I will just tell you. What's the reason? The reason is that we were unlucky this time, or we encountered a perverted monster that is obviously not an Earthbound spirit but is more troublesome than an Earthbound spirit!"
………
Pessimism, an adjective of mentality, refers to being not optimistic about the prospects of certain types of people or things. It usually refers to the sudden negative emotions that arise because the problem is too difficult to solve and cannot be dealt with, and then cannot find a way to deal with it.
As for the mysterious faceless man hiding in the forest, I don’t know if his narrow escape left a strong psychological shadow on him, or maybe some contact made him realize that the threat posed by him was extremely high. During the narration, Chen Xiaoyao was rarely pessimistic. , his face remained bitter for a long time.
But then again, pessimism is pessimism, but pessimism is not the same as despair. Chen Xiaoyao has experienced many storms and waves. It is impossible to say that he is desperate. The reason why he is dejected now is nothing more than to express his powerlessness, at least he thinks that I have no effective means or methods to deal with the faceless man.
Full of pessimism, Taoist Chen began to narrate, telling the truth as his eyebrows furrowed and tightened. He told the truth everything he knew about how he met the locust while sleeping last night, how to escape, and the characteristics of the locust.
"...Fortunately, Pindao recently learned the Five Elements Escape Technique. In the end, he relied on the Wood Escape to restrain the beasts and took the opportunity to escape. Otherwise, sister, you would never see me again. Oh, by the way, because I ran away too much. Urgent, the backpack must have been dropped and lost at that time.”
Under the narration of Taoist Chen, who always talked a lot of nonsense, Kong Ling learned about the cause and effect, and why Chen Xiaoyao was embarrassed and hungry. It turned out that he encountered a locust last night. Not only did he encounter a locust, he even almost died at the hands of a locust. Let's not talk about it for now. What kind of Taoist technique is the so-called Five Elements Escape Technique? You can guess from the opponent's behavior just now, as if he was reincarnated by a starved worm. It must be very expensive. It feels like he is physically weak after using the Heavenly Eye. Malaise is somewhat similar, and the degree of backlash is not low. Of course, this is not the point. The point is...
Faceless man!
Through Chen Xiaoyao's explanation and description of the man, Kong Ling miraculously understood the whole story, and understood the complex issues that Chen Xiaoyao was still confused about to this day, or he had a rough guess about a certain ability of the beast.
First of all, it is basically certain that the so-called faceless man is the slender man in the video preview. In addition, if during the video preview, I and everyone can only see the appearance of the faceless man, then after experiencing last night's After narrowly surviving, Chen Xiaoyao has now brought himself more intelligence clues, important clues about the faceless man's abilities, keywords, noise!
Similar to the messy sound that is emitted when the radio is tuned to FM, the source is the faceless man. The man himself has his own noise and releases weird sounds in some way that ordinary people can't understand. What's even more terrifying is that the noise can affect humans. , the magnitude of the impact depends on the distance. The impact is minimal or even no impact beyond a hundred meters. However, once the distance is reduced to within a hundred meters, people will feel uncomfortable and have dizziness in their eyes. The closer the distance, the higher the intensity.
It is also worth mentioning that noise cannot be isolated, and people cannot block the noise by covering their ears. Since it cannot be shielded, when the intensity of the influence is extremely close to the person, that is, when the faceless man is extremely close to the person, the person will be like a machine caused by an unexpected accident. Like a machine that was severely damaged by signal interference, it was completely scrapped, and the specific manifestation was that it fell to the ground and fell into a coma!
Yes, the signal impact feels very similar to the invisible and materialless radio transmission in reality...
If this is true, doesn't it mean that the faceless man has the ability to release radio waves? Release some kind of high-frequency signal transmission that is even high enough to cause air oscillations and then sound?
As a high school student with excellent grades in reality, Kong Ling never thought that she knew nothing about electronics. This was one of the differences between her and Chen Xiaoyao. This was also why Chen Xiaoyao couldn't figure out the principle of noise even if she tried hard. Kong Ling can understand the key factors in an instant. Yes, the girl has been exposed to electronics. Although electronics at the high school level is still in its infancy, the basic theory has been memorized by the girl early, at least the signal propagation and transmission principles. After mastering all the basic knowledge, it was natural that after listening to Chen Xiaoyao's confusing narration, Kong Ling quickly guessed the answer.
As for why Chen Xiaoyao doesn’t understand? Why was it so confusing from beginning to end that I still look confused? There is no need to explain, but let me ask a guy who lives in a Taoist temple in the mountains all year round, a guy who studies the ghost monsters all day long, do you think he might understand electronics?
This is really in line with the old saying, no one is perfect, no matter how powerful and knowledgeable you are, in fact there will always be things you don’t know, and there will always be levels of knowledge that you cannot touch.
Getting back to the topic, after basically understanding the principle of the faceless man's noise, Kong Ling kept his eyebrows slightly furrowed and began to explore and search, trying to find an effective way to deal with signal propagation.
result……
There is no way.
No matter how hard she thought, she even recalled everything she had learned in the past several times, the result was that she was always powerless and had no countermeasures against the strange noise that could affect human beings!
This is not to blame Kong Ling, I really don’t blame her for not being able to think of a way, because radio is originally an invisible and qualityless thing, a signal mechanism that can cover all directions as long as the distance is enough. This kind of thing cannot be defended, no matter what you have Whether you use a shield or hide in a secret room, the signal can always penetrate obstacles and reach the target. Unless you have a special signal jammer, no, it's useless, it's still useless. In fact, even if you have a signal jammer, you can't block the faceless man. Weird signal, because the signal strength is too high, terrifyingly high, high enough to trigger sounds in the air!
After all, everyone knows that the higher the signal strength, the more difficult it is to block. For a simple example, if the commonly used mobile phone signal strength is defined as 1, the military signal is defined as 5, and the satellite signal is defined as 10, then the signal strength released by the faceless man But it is surprisingly more than 1,000! ! !
As you can imagine, would a signal jammer be useful in the face of a perverted wireless signal strong enough to make noise in the air? Even a signal shielding room built with special materials is still unstoppable. Perhaps the only way is to run away as Chen Xiaoyao said, and try as much as possible under the premise that it is clear that the distance of the faceless man's influence is about a hundred meters. It is true to say that you should keep a distance from the opponent and not get closer, but the question is, can you outrun the enemy? Once the Faceless Man targets you, how long can you run? How long can your physical strength allow you to run? When your physical strength is exhausted and you cannot run, that will be the day when you are caught in despair and die!
what does that mean?
The answer is only two words: no solution!
Completely unable to defend, completely helpless.
"Eh? Sister, what's wrong with you? It's been a long time, why don't you say anything? And why is your face a little pale?"
Xu Shi gradually discovered something after observing for a long time. Just as the underage girl lowered her head and pondered over countermeasures, beside her, Taoist Chen began to push and shout. He raised his hand and patted her while calling tentatively until he brought Kong Ling back to reality.
As mentioned many times before, Chen Xiaoyao is a smart man. Although he knows zero about radio, this does not prevent him from observing the color and secretly figuring it out, so that he can see Ni Duan in the girl's increasingly pale expression. , and had been concerned about the noise problem for a long time. Finally, after waiting for a long time and still not seeing the other party speaking, Chen Taoist couldn't help it anymore, and directly intervened and asked again and again, and then...
Snapped!
"Ouch! You, why did you hit me? Why did you slap me!?"
"Why? Just because you disturbed my thinking, you deserve this slap in the face. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have almost figured out the whole story. If you want to know what the noise is about, I can give you a good answer. Kindly explain it to you, an illiterate person like you."
Sure enough, even though he was slapped by the girl for no reason, after confirming that the other party was willing to explain to him, Chen Xiaoyao, who really knew nothing about the signaling mechanism, still endured the humiliation and performed it perfectly. He nodded and bowed to say please. Next, Chen Xiaoyao was full of people. Staring with curious eyes, Kong Ling told him in detail the signal theory derived from the previous analysis without any nonsense.
As the girl finished explaining, Chen Xiaoyao froze.
If you look carefully, you will find that the young man's expression has completely changed at this moment, his mouth has twitched and his face is pale, just like the emptiness just now. After that, he and the girl sat together under the tree, both of them were silent and silent.
Hooray, hooray.
Time passed by, and the cold wind continued to blow, causing the bonfire to sway and dance. It was true that the fire provided a certain amount of warmth, but in fact, both Kong Ling and Chen Xiaoyao felt cold, as if they had been poured cold water on their heads in the dead of winter. General body solidification and coldness all over the body!
After a while, the silence was broken by the girl first. After glancing at the overly ugly appearance of the young man next to her, she smiled ethereally, showing a strange smile. At the same time, she raised her hand and patted the young man's shoulder. While patting the young man's shoulder, he exhaled in a calm tone. He sighed and said: "Hey, scoundrel, it seems like what you said before, we are dead. You, me, including a few other people, none of the executors who enter the forest will survive. We are dead, absolutely dead." deal."
He paused for a moment, rolled his eyes, and then continued with a teasing smile: "Since we are dead, why should we resist? Otherwise, I have pen and paper in my bag, let's put it together first How about writing your will in advance and then hanging yourself? If you are too scared to do it yourself, I can be kind enough to kick over the stool for you."
"Idiot!"
(I think your purpose is to kill me with your own hands, right?)
Exactly as expected, after hearing the girl's suggestion that she was both bereaved and committed suicide, and was even willing to be kind enough to 'help' her commit suicide, Chen Xiaoyao, who had just been silent just now, was so angry that three souls were born and seven Buddhas ascended to heaven. , jumped up and down on the spot and cursed, pointed at the girl and retorted angrily: "Damn! You little girl is sick, right? Yes, I mean, I'm very powerful and very troublesome, but when did I ever say that I was going to commit suicide? Hanged? If you want to hang yourself, go up yourself, I can also help you kick the stool!"
"Hahahahaha!"
As expected of a weird girl who never knew what fear was, after thinking about it, it was true that she was deeply panicked by the faceless man's terrifying ability at the beginning. Her face changed, but in the end, the so-called panic only lasted for two minutes and completely dissipated. Not only did the fear disappear. The intention disappeared, and then he even maliciously teased Chen Daoshi, and then laughed with his belly in his arms amidst the fierce and angry reaction of the other party. Girls are naturally free and easy, but Chen Xiaoyao does not seem to have the free and easy mentality of a girl. , especially after learning from Kong Ling that the noise belonged to the radio and that the radio frequency was too strong to defend, Chen Xiaoyao was already scared to death!
Oh my god, there is a high-frequency noise that is a thousand times stronger than a mobile phone signal, and even strong enough to vibrate the air. No wonder it can make people dizzy. It turns out that’s what happened. It’s definitely a miracle that I escaped last night. , but it’s a pity that miracles cannot be replicated. Good luck always comes to an end. Although I was lucky enough to escape once, what should I do if I encounter that faceless man again?
Unable to fight, unable to counterattack, there is no way to deal with the noise of the signal from the creature, and the faceless man is extremely fast. Once we encounter him again, it will be difficult for me not to die. What's more, these are just the faceless man. Signal noise, God knows if that monster has other abilities? In other words, the killing ability is more terrifying and unsolvable than the noise! ?
unless……
His thoughts were running, sweat was forming on his forehead, and then he subconsciously lowered his head and looked at his right hand, looking at the white card in his hand.
(No, I can't continue to ink. I have to rush for time. No matter what, I have to collect all the cards before the faceless man finds me again. This is the only way to survive at the moment. Only in this way can I, Kong Ling and others continue. Survive!)
Blah, blah, blah.
Suddenly coming back to his senses, Chen Xiaoyao moved. After confirming that he had no effective means to fight against the locusts, he ran directly to the fire and bent down to fill it with soil. He pushed the soil on the ground and put out the fire as quickly as possible. He immediately pulled the girl and got up and left. , as for why you have to put out the fire before leaving? Are you kidding, can you not extinguish it? Leaving fire in such a dry forest is tantamount to suicide. As long as the wind is slightly stronger, it is very likely to cause a forest fire. Once the fire breaks out, the outcome is destined to be out of control. Once the fire expands, the executor trapped in the forest will Even if he wasn't burned to death, he would definitely be smoked to death.
"Let's go!"
"Huh? Let's go, where are we going?"
"Nonsense, of course we are looking for cards. If we don't find all 8 cards as soon as possible, we will really die without a burial place!"
"Which way to go?"
"Whatever. I'm lost anyway. It's the same wherever I go. Well, let's go to the north and look for it first."
Traveling through the forest, moving frequently, in order to collect as many cards as possible, without bothering to continue warming himself by the fire, Chen Xiaoyao left the scene anxiously. This is the case for young Taoist priests, so why not be the same for underage girls? Although she is neither afraid of locusts nor afraid of death, who would want to die if she could live? So naturally, seeing the other party's expression of urgency, Kong Ling got up and followed him without any nonsense. After all, the purpose of their coming to the forest was to collect cards. Now that the fire was burning and the food was eaten, and it was already daybreak, it was time for him to get busy with his business. .
However……
Da da da.
I don’t know whether it was an accident or a fateful coincidence. After walking about 300 meters, just as the two people left the fire and headed north and were about to turn on the flashlight, they heard a sound. Directly in front of them, there was a string of sounds clearly made by humans. The sound of footsteps came clearly.
Ding!
His heart was beating in vain, and his nerves were suddenly tense. Chen Xiaoyao was still Chen Xiaoyao after all. It was true that the sound was not much different from human footsteps, but when he discovered the sound, his expression changed drastically and he turned around and ran away. Before Kong Ling could react, He pulled the girl back the way he came, moved his legs and ran away quickly, turning back and running wildly without any care at all!
Seeing this, some people may be confused and confused, wondering why they ran away after hearing the sound? It’s hard to understand why you don’t care. Let’s not talk about who is the master of the footsteps in front of you. To take a step back, even if you realize that the other party is coming with bad intentions, the most important thing you should do is to hide and hide instead of just running away like you are doing now. You are not afraid. The sound is heard by the other party and exposes oneself?
The above questions are all correct, and the logic stated is equally reasonable. However, Chen Xiaoyao has Chen Xiaoyao's truth. What is the truth? The reason is that he does not dare to hide and has to run. The reason is precisely because he has a preliminary understanding of locusts and has a clear understanding of the signal noise that can cause collapse and paralysis. In simple terms, it can be understood as...
Humans can't get close to the faceless man, and definitely can't get too close to the faceless man!
Imagine that you suddenly heard a series of footsteps approaching you in a huge dark forest. How would you react? The standard reaction is to immediately hide and look for opportunities to peep. If this is the case, then how should you react when you know that there are hawks in the forest and that hawks can release radio waves to sense and even attack prey without relying on their eyes.
run!
Of course I ran, otherwise I would be a fool. Choosing to hide at this time has become a standard idiotic behavior. After all, no one knows whether the moving sound that resembles human walking is a locust disguise?
Therefore, Chen Xiaoyao wisely chose to run away and turned away immediately. He did not deny that there was a chance that the opponent would detect the sound of running, but it was better than staying in place and being detected by the opponent in the end!
The idea is certainly correct, but unfortunately...
Chen Xiaoyao failed, his gamble failed, and his risky plan to bet that the running noise would not be noticed by the other party went bankrupt. The evidence is...
Da da da da da da!
Suddenly, just as Chen Xiaoyao was pulling Kong Ling away, trying to escape from the scene before being discovered by the opponent, he only ran a dozen steps, and the sound from behind intensified, and the series of undulating footsteps that had been moving at a constant speed suddenly disappeared. He turned to running, getting faster and faster, and more and more urgent. Looking at the situation, it was obvious that he was running towards himself and Kong Ling!
(Oops!)
This was the first thought in Chen Xiaoyao's mind after noticing the sudden acceleration of the footsteps behind him. He was frightened to death. He was so frightened by the chasing footsteps that he almost fainted. However, it was at this moment, or in other words, just when Chen Daoshi was planning to The moment he told Kong Ling to run first and left behind to block the pursuit, behind him, in addition to the running footsteps that echoed endlessly, a rough shout that was familiar no matter how he heard it also came into his ears:
"Hey! Chen Xiaoyao, Kong Ling, you two, stop running away. Look back, it's me, it's me!"
