Having said this, he glanced at the crimson beam of light on the opposite side which was obviously not as dazzling as it was at first. Chen Xiaoyao closed his mouth and stopped talking. He just sighed with a bitter look on his face.
Yes, there is no need to explain. If nothing else, you can clearly feel that Chen Xiaoyao is desperate just from the helpless sigh of the young man. Although there is only one card left, the problem is that they have lost it. The opportunity to find the card has been blocked by the faceless man, and there is no way to escape. What's even more terrifying is...
The beam of light is fading!
As time passed by, the red beam of light that was repeatedly struck by the faceless man was now dimming. When I looked at the time, I realized that 25 minutes had passed without my noticing!
5 minutes, the last 5 minutes, represent the last 5 minutes when the fire of life is about to go out.
As the saying goes, people are different, and their reactions to death are also different. At this moment, watching the frequent collisions of worms, listening to the ups and downs of noise, and seeing the light beam getting darker and darker as time goes by, excluding the unconscious executioner at the scene. , Chen Xiaoyao, who was so scared that his teeth chattered earlier, is no longer afraid, but is just calm and calm, calm and calm without fear of life or death.
As for Peng Hu...
The bald man is at the other extreme!
As an iron-blooded tough guy who has always had a bad temper and is not even afraid of a snake once he gets angry, Peng Hu is unwilling to give in. He is extremely unwilling to do so. But it is precisely because he is extremely unwilling to die here that the man's emotions gradually rise and fall. After Chen Xiaoyao learned that there was really no solution, his fear gradually turned into anger, and a huge rage ignited in his chest!
"No way? No way? I still don't believe in Male Gobi! I have to give it a try no matter what!"
Staring at the faceless man opposite who was frequently bumping into each other, Peng Hu muttered to himself with a knot in his forehead, then reached into his arms and took out something, and took out something that looked like a stone, a strange stone that was as clear as a diamond.
Frozen stone!
Yes, it is the frozen stone, an intermediate supernatural prop that requires a high amount of survival points to be exchanged for. It is very simple to use. You only need to throw the stone to the ground, and the ice will be released instantly. The ice can The effect of freezing everything and even spiritual bodies within 15 meters is very good, but...
Peng Hu was unwilling to use it earlier, and he was unwilling to use it in this mission. In other words, he was unwilling to use it to deal with the faceless man!
Because, after several days of forest exploration and combined with many personal experiences, he now understands the Faceless Man. He knows that the Faceless Man is an extremely special hawk that can emit signals, create noise, and even vibrate the air. It is conceivable that the perverted monster can do this. Faced with such a monster that can create extremely strong shocks, can ice still freeze it? As expected, as soon as the ice cube froze him, perhaps the faceless man could use the shock to instantly shatter the ice cubes on his body into shards of ice, and then break free from the restraints and return to the original state.
To put it simply, it can be understood that the reason why Peng Hu is unwilling to use the frozen stone to deal with the faceless man is not that the frozen stone is not effective, but that the faceless man's shock ability can restrain the frozen stone!
Based on the above speculation, it explains why Peng Hu has been unwilling to use the frozen stone to deal with the faceless man. The reason is simply that he does not want to waste this prop that can only be used once per mission, and he does not want to do useless work, but...
People are in a hurry to climb a tree, dogs are in a hurry to jump over a wall. At this moment, seeing that there is not much time left, and seeing that the light beam is about to disappear, at that last moment when no matter how you look at it, the outcome is certain, in order to escape from danger, even if you guess that the props are useless, even if you know that there is a high probability of being trapped. He couldn't help but be masculine, but under the pressure of imminent death, he had no choice but to take a risk, and now his hope of survival rested entirely on this prop!
………
The key to why humans are called human beings and why they can be clearly distinguished from other animals in the world is that humans have wisdom, have thinking, know how to analyze, and are good at rational thinking. With the above, humans have solved many problems and have become Lord of the world.
Having said that, human beings who are intelligent and know how to think may not necessarily be able to solve all problems. After all, the characteristics of intelligence determine the identity of human beings as logical creatures. To put it bluntly, it can be understood that human beings will always be the first to activate a certain kind of thinking when facing problems. , a kind of subjective consciousness carried from birth, that is, solid thinking.
Fixed thinking, or thinking set, refers to a stable thinking route formed after many experiences of exposure, witnessing and even repeated use. It is the most normal way of consciousness. To give a simple example, such as putting a piece of paper in front of a student, and The first thing that catches the eye is a ring symbol that looks like both the Arabic numeral 0 and the English letter O. If the ring symbol is followed by numbers, then students will not hesitate to think it is the Arabic numeral 0, but if the ring number is followed by For a set of English letters, students will definitely think that it is the English letter O. Regardless of whether the ring symbol is a number or an English letter, in fact, the students' reaction is enough to prove the existence of fixed thinking.
Closer to home, since fixed thinking is normal thinking, it is difficult for humans to break this kind of thinking, and then cannot jump out of it. There is usually no problem. After all, the thinking set already exists in your life, study, work, entertainment, etc. environment, and at the same time, the mindset is destined to accompany everyone throughout their lives, but...
Sometimes, fixed thinking that is considered normal by the scientific community can cause you trouble.
Whether the trouble is high or low depends on whether your fixed thinking is high or low, and similarly, whether you can finally solve the trouble also depends on whether you can jump out of the fixed framework in time before the situation becomes uncontrollable.
………
The night in the forest is gradually getting darker. As time goes by, the red light pillar erected in the center of the forest is no longer bright, but gradually becomes lighter and lighter. At the current speed, it is obviously not far from disappearing completely.
Bang dong, bang dong, bang dong!
"Roar!"
Outside the increasingly transparent light beam, the faceless man continued, still hitting and beating the light beam in front of him with his burly body and terrifying tentacles.
In the light pillar, Peng Hu held the frozen stone in his hand and glanced at the faceless monster on the opposite side, which was about to rush into the scene and massacre him. Peng Hu was sweating and his forehead was boiling. He hesitated for a moment. Finally, he bit hard and the bald man made up his mind. determination.
(Damn it, just die. Even if I can’t seal this monster like you, I will still create some trouble for you before I die! Try to make you as uncomfortable as possible!)
With a certain death mentality, as soon as he made up his mind, Peng Hu charged forward with both legs and ran straight to the edge of the light beam!
The final struggle is about to begin, and the fatal outcome is about to take place.
"wait wait wait."
There was no warning. Just when Peng Hu knew that he had a 90% chance of not being able to trap the locust but was still unwilling to risk his life, a shout came from beside him. A faint shout came. There was no denying that the sound was very weak. Nowadays, the noise enveloped the continuous collision. You wouldn't be able to hear it if you didn't listen carefully at the scene, but the owner of the voice still successfully stopped Peng Hu who was about to explode, because...
In addition to shouting, the owner of the voice also grabbed him with his arm. When the man passed by, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the man's trouser leg.
Um?
Realizing that his body was suddenly blocked, Peng Hu instinctively turned around and looked down, and saw that the person clutching him was not Chen Xiaoyao as expected, but a girl, a cute and tired girl.
Ethereal!
The girl is awake? Kong Ling, who was previously diagnosed by Chen Xiaoyao as having a damaged soul and had difficulty waking up within a week, miraculously woke up early?
This kind of thing is bound to be difficult to understand in the eyes of others, but now it actually happened. Not only did it happen, the hidden meaning inside is even more incredible than waking up. You may not believe it when you say it. In fact, from the moment of coma, the ethereal spirit has been maintained. Being awake and conscious is the resistance struggle of the soul after the body is forced to sleep. But it is precisely because of being awake that during the coma, Kong Ling knows what he has experienced and what he has encountered.
In the darkness, when her body was sleeping, her consciousness was inexplicably placed in a boundless darkness. Logically speaking, at this time, she should follow her instinct and choose to rest. However, for some reason, she clearly knew that she was falling into a coma and that it would be very difficult in the short term. When she woke up, the girl did not want to rest or stay in the black world. Instead, she struggled frequently under the influence of a certain horrifying truth. She desperately shuttled back and forth in the darkness of the empty consciousness in search of an exit. During this period, she never stopped, like a Like a madman, he resists rest and tries to wake up.
She traveled through the chaotic darkness of time for a long time, searching for a long time. It was as long as the past century, but the girl never gave up. She persisted in searching in the endless void that could drive people crazy. In the end, her efforts were rewarded. In return, as she kept moving forward, after countless years, she came to the end of darkness, reached the edge of darkness, and there was a bright white light right in front of her.
Seeing this, the girl rushed forward without hesitation and instantly disappeared into the bright light.
Next…
Kong Ling opened his eyes!
Of course, there are gains and losses. Although she broke out of the coma and returned to consciousness, the physical collapse that followed immediately enveloped her consciousness. If she hadn't had great perseverance to hold it back, she might have returned to coma the moment she woke up.
Fortunately, this kind of thing did not happen. If it did happen, the consequences would be disaster and destruction. At that time, not only would I have no chance to wake up, but all my teammates in the woods would also be trapped in the same trap forever like myself. Death darkness.
Because, she has a clue, a truth, a hidden truth that only she knows in the whole team, a hidden truth that she discovered and learned by chance!
The truth is directly related to the life and death of the entire team!
She remembered that not long ago, she and Chen Xiaoyao were caught by a faceless man's trick. After that, they were both trapped in the mental space. The mental space is equivalent to hell, where there are countless murderous skeletons and huge heads. Seeing that they are about to die, in desperation, The girl used props and took the risk of using the soul thermometer that can make people's souls leave the body. With the help of the props, Kong Ling succeeded in leaving the body and escaped from the space with Chen Xiaoyao and returned to the forest. Next, in order to let the physical body also Breaking free from the faceless man's grip, Kong Ling desperately chose to risk his life, and actually possessed the faceless man's body directly in his soul state!
The moment she entered the faceless man's body, she heard terrifying sounds and saw terrifying images:
human face!
Tens of thousands of male and female faces are wailing and moaning in the body of the faceless man. They are in pain and uncomfortable. They are moving back and forth in a crazy way as if they are being tortured all the time. For a long time, they always want to escape but are restricted by some kind of restrictions. And from the desperate pain that could not be escaped, the screams were endless, and the cries were rising and falling. In addition to human faces and cries, Kong Ling also discovered other things.
Staring at that thing, Kong Ling was shocked. He was so shocked that his whole soul was uncontrollably trembling with fear. During the trembling period, a sentence came out of his mind subconsciously, and then he elaborated on the facts. It was enough to make anyone who knew the truth collapse and go crazy. Brutal facts:
This is a task that seems to have a solution but is actually unsolvable, a task that although there is a way to survive but can never be found, a task that is almost impossible for humans to complete, a task that only gods can complete.
The reason is that if this mission is analyzed with human fixed thinking, then the cards are destined to be unable to be collected! ! !
Curse, you are so insidious and despicable. I didn’t expect you to have dug such a hidden pit for us that only gods can discover. If I hadn’t accidentally discovered it by chance, the team would have been 100% destroyed here.
so……
I must tell everyone, no matter what, I must tell everyone the truth before the group is destroyed!
As soon as he woke up, the first thing that caught his eye was a red light that seemed familiar to him before. Although it was wide, it was now extremely dim and about to disappear.
Outside the light pillar is a monster. There is a faceless monster with a huge body and long tentacles. The monster is hitting the light pillar fiercely, and is attacking the dim light pillar with bursts of noise!
Then, she saw a figure, a bald man rushing forward, holding a strange diamond-shaped stone and rushing straight towards the monster opposite!
Soon enough, when the bald man passed by, the girl saw the opportunity and suddenly reached out and grabbed the man's trouser leg.
………
Time, day 5 of the supernatural mission, 21:05 at night.
In a certain area of the forest, the red light pillar that was bright earlier has now become dim, extremely dim, and the maintenance time has passed for 28 minutes.
"Ethereal? You, you..."
"Eh? Miss Ethereal, are you awake!?"
Sure enough, he noticed that his trouser legs were being grabbed tightly by someone. He turned around and saw that when the girl woke up, Peng Hu was shocked. He didn't care to carry out the life-threatening plan that was destined to fail in all likelihood. The whole person was stunned. Not only the bald man With a stunned expression, even Chen Xiaoyao, who was quietly waiting for death next to him, was stunned and asked instinctively.
what happened? The girl whose spirit was obviously damaged and who was not supposed to wake up within a week actually woke up early? This is impossible and unscientific?
Not to mention how shocked Peng and Chen were and how they felt it was impossible to be unscientific, but one thing is undeniable, that is, Kong Ling did wake up, miraculously broke out of coma and returned to reality, and opened his eyes just in time when the light beam was about to disappear. Witness it all.
Seeing the light beam dimming to the top, he ignored the two people's astonishment. Kong Ling made a decisive decision and said directly: "Cards, how many cards have you collected? Answer me, answer me quickly!"
Listening to the girl's nervous questions, Peng Hu and the two of them, both of whom were standard veterans, figured out their priorities. Although they didn't understand why the girl asked about the card as soon as she woke up, Chen Xiaoyao was still stunned for a second. Then he took out the card and directly displayed the seven cards in front of the girl's eyes. He did not hesitate in his movements, but his expression was extremely bitter. He pointed at the cards with a complicated expression and responded with a sigh: "Hey, you Take a look for yourself, there are seven in total. Here are all the cards we have collected in the past few days. There are quite a few, but it’s a pity that they are meaningless. You know why..."
After saying that, he glanced across from the corner of his eye and looked at the faceless man who was banging wildly a few meters away.
In addition, the dim beam of light was about to dissipate, Chen Xiaoyao's face was full of despair. In despair, he continued to remind: "You see, the faceless man has blocked us here, and we will never get the last card No. 8." The opportunity has been found, it’s over, just wait for death.”
"What? Waiting for death? I don't want to wait for death! Even if it means death, I will fucking fuck him before I die!" When he heard that Chen Xiaoyao opened and shut up and waited for death, Peng, who had originally planned to use props to fight Sure enough, Hu reacted again, and immediately pointed to the stone and nervously explained: "Listen up, both of you, this thing is called the frozen stone. As long as it touches the ground, it can instantly freeze all spiritual objects within a 15-meter area. Now I If you want to go over and freeze that monster, you two take the opportunity to escape with Li Tianheng!"
As has been described many times in the past, as a smart man, Chen Xiaoyao has very strong understanding ability. As soon as the bald man finished speaking, without waiting for the other party to make a move, Taoist Chen frowned as if he had understood some kind of result, and then used He tentatively responded with a skeptical tone: "Freeze? You said the function of this thing is to freeze? Brother Peng, with all due respect, if this stone can only freeze worms, I think you should stop doing useless work. After all, that's it." You and I both know what the faceless man’s biggest characteristic is.”
This is really what heroes see in common. As for the effect of the frozen stone, in addition to the owner Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao also made a decisive decision after learning about the effect of the item and judged it to be invalid, thinking that the stone would be difficult to have an effect on the faceless man. What do you think? , with the faceless man's abnormal shock ability, which is so high that it can even twist and tear the air, even if you really freeze him, the other party will definitely be able to shatter the ice with the shock, and the final outcome will be nothing more than your last second If you freeze him, the opponent will be able to break free in the next second, and the opponent's speed is faster than the speed of sound. Want to escape to heaven in just a few seconds? Stop dreaming!
Chen Xiaoyao told the truth, expressing the same speculations and worries as Peng Hu earlier. The truth was indeed correct, but Peng Hu still persisted, still holding the stone tightly and roaring: "What if it doesn't work? We are all going to die anyway. I have to try no matter what. If it fails, I will chop the monster with a knife before I die, and then return to the west hand in hand with everyone. If it works, we will be able to escape by then and get another chance to find the card!"
Putting aside his unwilling roar, Peng Hu turned around and looked at the opposite side at the next moment, and issued a reminder: "There is only one minute left, hurry up, get ready to run away, I'm going out!"
However……
"It's useless. We can't find the last card. If we continue to run around in the forest looking for it as usual, then I'm sure we will never find card No. 8."
These were the words that Peng Hu suddenly said when he was about to run out of the beam of light. These words made the bald man and even Chen Xiaoyao stunned on the spot, and the owner who said these words was astonishingly ethereal.
After hearing this, Peng Hu gave up the charge and turned around suddenly. Together with Chen Xiaoyao, their bodies trembled like an electric shock. They turned around and looked behind them, looking at the young girl Kong Ling who had been unconscious for a long time but unexpectedly spoke astonishingly as soon as she woke up.
"What did you say, Miss Kong Ling?" Peng Hu asked first while maintaining his shock and confusion. As for Kong Ling, he looked at the two people in front of him. The girl had no ink marks, so she said bluntly with a complicated expression: "I mean the remaining ones We will never find the No. 8 card. Even if you, bald uncle, successfully trap the faceless man with props and everyone escapes smoothly, in fact it still doesn’t make much sense. It’s just a temporary delay in death, because..."
"Because card No. 8 is not where you, I or even everyone expected it to be. Even if we turn the forest upside down or even dig the ground three feet, we still won't be able to find card No. 8!"
"Can't find card No. 8? Only card No. 8 can never be found? You, what do you mean?" After hearing the girl's answer, Peng Hu's shock increased and his face was confused, but Chen Xiaoyao seemed to have some understanding. Ban's face turned pale and he asked tentatively: "Listen to your tone...could it be that the curse deceived us? In fact, the No. 8 card is not in the forest at all?"
"No, the curse did not lie. Just as the mission information describes, there are cards in the forest. All eight cards are in the forest. As long as you search carefully, it is not difficult to collect the first seven cards, but only the No. 8 card This is an exception, the only one that is difficult to find no matter how much you search in the forest. The reason is that the location of card No. 8 is extremely special. It is not attached to the tree, not hidden in the grass, or anywhere that humans can imagine. The place."
Time passed by second by second, and death was approaching little by little. Outside the light pillar, the faceless man roared and hit repeatedly. As for the light pillar itself that was hit frequently...
It is so dim that it is almost transparent, and it is so transparent that it almost disappears.
20 seconds, only the last 20 seconds left before the light beam disappears!
It is conceivable that with the faceless man's fierceness and mania at the moment, once the light beam disappears and the protection is no longer there, what will be waiting for everyone?
but……
It was in these short 20 seconds, in the last moment when everyone was about to die, that everyone learned the truth and obtained the most hidden ultimate truth of the entire mission from the girl's mouth!
"Where is that place? Where is the place where the No. 8 card is hidden?" As soon as Kong Ling finished speaking, both Peng Hu and Chen Xiaoyao asked nervously in unison.
Hearing the question, Kong Ling immediately moved, suddenly stretched out his finger, pointed straight ahead, pointed to the opposite side, pointed at the faceless man who was roaring and impacting outside the light column!
He raised his fingers and roared:
"Card No. 8 is in the faceless man's body! In the monster's chest!!!"
