On the screen, the camera began to move, moving along with the school bus in a manner that completely locked onto the central vehicle. To be honest, the overall picture was very ordinary. It was nothing more than a car with a large number of people on board speeding along a wilderness road. This is how it is described, and the reality is the same. In this way, even if everyone has opened their eyes to observe everything, in fact, they have found nothing, not a trace of abnormality. Unfortunately, everyone who thinks so is wrong. As a video preview that has always been closely linked to supernatural missions, senior people never think that Curses are boring to the point of randomly posting videos. In addition to not randomly posting videos to deceive everyone, many times the video previews also often hide valuable clues, some important clues that can lead to a way out of the game. The key depends on whether you can realize the hidden meaning of the video. cryptic hints.

So naturally, the more ordinary the scene is, the more experienced people will concentrate and observe more carefully.

Everyone's waiting finally came to fruition.

After staring at the car for a long time, an accident happened one minute later!

In the field of vision, the school bus that was running normally suddenly slowed down because there was a commotion in the car. Through the window, I saw the students who were sitting on the passenger seats earlier jumped out of their seats and shouted, as if something happened. Everyone panicked as if something very terrible had happened.

As you can imagine, due to the riot, the driver of the car in the front actually slowed down and stopped. At the same time, the lens that was originally far away also took this opportunity to quickly stretch and get closer in an instant. In the end, the lens was directly attached to the car window. Since the distance is now close, when you look inside the car again, you will find that among the many chaotic and shouting students, there is a male student lying motionless in the car. His eyes are wide open. His mouth was opened to its maximum, and his face was obviously distorted in extreme pain. It looked like he was dead, and his body still looked like he was still alive!

No one knows how the student died, and no one knows who killed the boy. After all, the camera did not show a close-up of the boy before his death. The camera only zoomed in belatedly after the riot. In addition, from other perspectives The frightened and confused expressions of the students can easily be guessed that they do not know the whole story and have no idea how the boy died? To draw inferences from one case to another, we don’t even know how the person died, and finding the murderer is even more nonsense.

The logic is correct, but it is also because the boy's death was so strange. He died in a car with a large number of people and the murderer has not been found. Thinking of this, an unknown premonition began to sprout in the mind of the executor. Just like this, after witnessing the whole thing The boy's death immediately flooded everyone's mind.

(Dead? People die so inexplicably?)

In front of the screen, He Fei frowned and guessed the reason, but inside the screen, Xu was afraid that the body would scare the students. After the panic, the male driver, who was suspected to be a teacher, began to clean up, covered the body with the deceased's shirt, and then took out his mobile phone. Dial the message. There is no doubt that when faced with a murder case that cannot be handled, the driver chooses to call the police, but...

I called several times and waited for a long time. Finally, the driver took back the phone. As expected, there should be no signal on the phone and the call just now was not connected.

In desperation, the driver had no choice but to return to driving and start the car under the panicked eyes of many students, and continued driving, obviously intending to drive the car to the finish line first, but...

Who would have thought that as the car started up again, something even more terrifying would be to come, or in other words, the horror had just begun!

……………

I would like to ask, if a murder occurs on a deserted road with no village or shop, and the mobile phone signal is blocked and cannot call the police, what is the normal way for people to respond?

Needless to say, we must continue driving, first through the wilderness to reach the end point, and then find the nearest police station to report the crime.

This is what anyone would do instinctively, so naturally, after determining that there was no signal on the mobile phone and could not call the police, the driver could only continue driving, and the school bus full of students continued to drive forward along the highway.

The video progressed to this point, and suddenly, the screen was suddenly covered with snowflakes, but the snowflakes only lasted for two seconds before disappearing without a trace. As the snowflakes disappeared, I looked at the screen again and saw that the screen was still the same, it was still the road, and it was still the school bus. , but the video environment has changed slightly. It is no longer the sunny morning at the beginning of the video, but the afternoon, and then, there is another riot on the school bus!

With the lens stretched towards the car window, the familiar scene is reenacted.

Following the inexplicable death of the first male student in the morning, someone else died in the car during the afternoon, and this time, three died in one breath!

Two male students and one female student got out of their seats and fell to the ground. They died. The best evidence to prove the death of the three people was that they were covered in blood and their eyes were wide open. Their death condition was the same as that of the first-time student. The male students are exactly the same!

What's even more frightening is that the cause of their death is a mystery, and they still die inexplicably!

The students fell into chaos. They were all walking around and shouting in the school bus like headless flies. Some were crying, some were shaking, and some were staring at the corpse in a daze. The overall reaction was several times stronger than when they witnessed the death of the first boy. , and the male driver who stopped to check was also frightened by the scene in front of him and almost fainted. He never dreamed that people would die one after another, and each one would have no reason or sign. Neither the cause of death nor the cause of death could be found. No one knew the murderer, and no one knew why the three people in front of them died. There was only chaos, and the entire school bus was in extreme chaos.

It's a pity that no matter how confused the students were, no one dared to get off the car on this deserted road with no villages or shops. It was obvious that they knew that leaving the car in the wilderness with extremely long distances and no signal was equivalent to suicide, and they lost the ability to travel by vehicle. , they would only be trapped alive in the wilderness, so with persistence, they simply placed the bodies. Under the timid eyes of many students, the driver bravely started the vehicle.

呲呲呲.

Sure enough, as soon as the school bus started, snowflakes filled the screen, and the snowflakes still lasted for a few seconds and then dissipated as before. Then, as the screen returned to clarity, it was already evening, and through the dim environment, the lens picture became more and more clear. For the blood and blood, it’s even more creepy...

Familiar parking, familiar chaos, yes, due to some changes, the school bus stopped on the road again, and the inside of the bus suddenly turned into an Asura hell!

At this moment, the school bus was filled with corpses of students. Nearly 10 male and female students were rolled over on their sides, all of them dying with blood on their bodies!

The number of students who originally numbered around 20 was now half dead, and most of the students died inexplicably.

Screams filled the sky, and tremors filled the whole body. Looking at the corpses of the many dead classmates in front of them, all the remaining students were frightened to death. Even the male driver who was suspected to be a teacher also lost his body after witnessing the scene. He was paralyzed and unable to move, and then he rolled his eyes and fainted.

It was not his fault that he was paralyzed and unconscious. After all, as a teacher and driver, he could not escape responsibility for the death of his students. The successive deaths of more than a dozen students seemed beyond his psychological endurance. The driver fainted due to the anxiety. As for the students...

Because they really couldn't bear the strong and bloody smell at the scene, and the mysterious and tragic death was too terrifying, the 10 remaining students who were not dead began to run away out of fear. They no longer cared about the wilderness around them and fled one after another. The cars fled in all directions, howling as they got out of the car and rushed to the outside world, fleeing to the wilderness on both sides.

Bah, bah, bah.

I thought the video would continue, but just when the executors in front of the screen widened their eyes and planned to carefully observe the follow-up situation, the screen was filled with snowflakes.

To be honest, this kind of sudden snowflake coverage is very uncomfortable. The inexplicable blocking of the field of vision at every critical moment is simply crazy. Of course, it is uncomfortable to be uncomfortable and crazy to be crazy. In fact, they have no choice but to endure it. The ups and downs are waiting silently, waiting for the snowflakes to pass.

Fortunately, snowflakes always last for a very short time. They only last for two seconds before disappearing without a trace. The only surprise is that when the snowflakes disappeared, when I looked at the screen, I saw that the scene on the screen was still in the evening, and the time did not change like the previous two times. That's true, but...

This time, the highway was completely silent, and there was no sound at all. It was completely different from the noisy chaos earlier.

As for the reason?

It's very simple. The reason is that there is no living person at the scene! ! !

As far as I could see, I saw bodies lying near the school bus. The students who had run out of the school bus earlier and fled in all directions were all dead. Without exception, they were killed on the spot. Some died next to the school bus, and some died on the left and right roads. Some died in the wilderness opposite, their bodies lying scattered on the ground.

Yes, in addition to most of the students in the corpse car who were killed early, the other half of the students who escaped from the school bus are now dead. They died inexplicably seconds, and their eyes were all wide open, as if they had seen something extremely terrible before they died. It’s like a horrific horror scene, with everyone’s expressions distorted and their death conditions horrifying.

As for the driver who was unconscious earlier?

The driver was also dead. If nothing else, it could be easily seen from the man's eyes that were also wide-eyed.

With the collective death of the driver and the remaining students, the entire vehicle was wiped out and all of them were dead!

Bah, bah bah...

Everyone fell to the ground and died tragically. This is the last scene of the entire video. The video preview ends here. As the video ends, the screen in front quickly dims until it turns black again. Next, there are text, several lines of bloody text slowly Appearing in everyone’s eyes:

Mission difficulty: Normal level.

Note: After completing the task, all survivors will receive a 2-point survival bonus.

………

The red text gradually disappeared after staying on the screen for about a minute, and then the screen dimmed, returning to darkness and losing sound, and at the same time, the lights in the carriage came on again.

Somehow, as the light returned to the scene, the atmosphere also changed. What's even more strange is that everyone, whether they are veterans or newcomers, sweated unconsciously after watching the video preview and mission information just now. Zhu, more or less sweat oozed from his forehead. For a while, the carriage fell into an atmosphere of indescribable tension. Pressed by the tension, the newlyweds in the back row trembled one after another. Tang Meng was a little better, but his body was shaking and his face was pale. Bai, but the other newcomers on his left and right sides have completely changed their appearance!

"What is that? How did those students die? Why did they all die inexplicably? How did they die? How did they die?"

There is no doubt that as a newcomer who watched the video preview for the first time, Yang Zhibin was frightened to death. He was so frightened by the strange video full of death that his legs and feet became paralyzed. Then he asked the same questions as he did when the lights went out earlier. He muttered to himself, trying to vent his inner fear through questioning.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to him or responded. It's not that no one responded, but that others couldn't figure out the truth about the death of the students for the time being. In addition, the video was strange and suspicious, and the senior people headed by He Fei were currently thinking about it. Instinctively, no one would talk nonsense until at least some clues were figured out. Therefore, the frightened Yang Zhibin was ignored. As for the more courageous Jiang Liqing, she was so frightened that she shed tears. In panic, the woman grabbed the soup next to her. Meng, then cried and asked: "Woo, woo woo, sister Tang Meng, what does the video just mean? Is that a mission world? Do we really want to go to that highway? People will die there. , I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go, wuwuwuwu…”

Listening to Jiang Liqing's sobs, Tang Meng's already pale face turned even whiter. It was obvious that even though she was a psychiatrist, she was still a newcomer after all. Facing the unknown death, not only was Jiang Liqing afraid, but she was also afraid. Not afraid? Tang Meng always shudders when she thinks of the strange and tragic death of a whole busload of students in the video. Fortunately, her profession as a psychiatrist has taught her to control her emotions. After a slight hesitation, Tang Meng cheered up and comforted Jiang Liqing. : "Sister Liqing, please don't cry yet. I admit that the video is scary and weird, but please don't forget that supernatural missions are performed as a group. Although we are newcomers with little experience, the captain and others have experienced countless missions. Seniors, as long as we obey orders and follow instructions, I believe the captain will protect us."

"Yes, you are right, there are seniors, and the captain and the others! With the captain and the others protecting us, we will be safe, and we will be able to complete the mission and return alive."

Tang Meng deserves to be a psychiatrist. In just one paragraph, he enlightened Jiang Liqing, who was still in tears just now, and brought hope to women, not only to Jiang Liqing, but also to the frightened Yang Zhibin and Lu Chengbing. Bring hope, what is hope? Hope comes from the senior people, it is He Fei and others who are so calm in the front row.

Of course, nothing is absolute. Strictly speaking, Chen Shuihong is not included in saying that everything is so calm. The middle-aged fat man's current reaction is only slightly better than that of the newcomer. At least he is not trembling. At first glance, he looks calm. It's a pity that it's all over the place. The cold sweat on his forehead betrayed the fat man.

I remember I said before that when it comes to supernatural missions, Chen Shuihong never cares about the difficulty level. He only knows that in any supernatural mission, there must be a wolf, and the wolf will definitely kill anyone on sight. What's more, the video preview just now clearly revealed that There was a strange aura, so strange that there was no trace of the dragon from beginning to end, and a group of students died inexplicably!

(What should I do? What should I do next? If the highway in the video is Interstate 17, and if I get there, will I be like those students... Forget it, there is no point in thinking about this, okay This time I am well prepared, but I don’t know if it will work.)

"Gudu."

With complicated thoughts, Chen Shuihong swallowed his saliva, raised his right hand slightly, and slowly touched his pocket.

At the same time, in the front row...

Different from the people in the back row who only care about fear, as veterans who have experienced all kinds of strong winds and waves, although He Fei and others were also shocked by the video at the beginning and instinctively sweated and became silent for a while, in the final analysis, it is just an instinctive reaction, which belongs to human beings. Subconscious actions in times of unknown terror.

As the mission information was released, and after another period of deep thinking, I don’t know whether it was a miracle that happened in an instant or an epiphany in his mind, but Peng Hu thought of something first!

It was too late and then it was too late. Just when He Fei in the front row turned his head and was about to take the lead in speaking up to evaluate the task, the bald man actually beat his head and got up from his seat. He immediately looked around the crowd with wide eyes and said: "I understand! I understand. What happened to the video!”

Huh?

Perhaps he never dreamed that the carefree bald man would be the first to speak, or he might be attracted by his obviously affirmative tone. Sure enough, as soon as Peng Hu finished speaking, everyone looked up, and almost everyone turned their attention to Li Tianheng looked at him and asked tentatively with a stunned expression: "Got it? Brother Peng, did you discover something?"

"Hey, of course I found it. Why did I stand up if I didn't notice it?" Seeing someone answer the question in time, Peng Hu grinned and hurriedly shook his body to announce the answer in front of everyone: "The video preview just now seemed weird and terrifying, but in fact it was just It’s just a cover-up trick.”

"A blind trick?"

After hearing this, not only Li Tianheng was curious this time, but also Chen Xiaoyao, who had always claimed to be a genius, was aroused, and then he stuck his head and asked. In addition, He Fei also unconsciously showed surprise on his face, and had a similar reaction. Zhao Ping, Cheng Ying and others were all shocked. Seeing everyone curious, the bald man felt great satisfaction! The gazes looking at He Fei and the other two people were also vaguely proud, "Humph, even though we, Lao Peng, rarely participate in survival analysis, once we get serious, I am no worse than the three of you."

So naturally, after his vanity was satisfied, Peng Hu took the initiative to explain without the need for others to continue asking: "First of all, everyone has seen that people are dead in the video from beginning to end, and a few people die every once in a while. , and died suddenly, and was not discovered by others until after death. On the surface, it is indeed weird and scary, just like a weird death with no beginning or end, but..."

After saying this, he paused, and then Peng Hu changed the subject and continued: "But have you ever thought about what if what those students saw was always an illusion?"

"Illusion? Hey, bald man, what do you mean by this? Don't be pretentious, just say it and let it go!" Xu Shi was made more and more unhappy by the bald man's pretending to be sophisticated. Finally, as the most curious person on the scene, Cheng Ying urged her with a straight face. Of course, even if Cheng Ying didn't urge her, Peng Hu, who had finally shown off, would definitely explain it clearly, so...

"Well, how should I put it? What I mean is that what those students saw was not real, at least not at a certain critical time. To put it simply, it can be understood that the cockroach knows how to hide, not only in the car but also in the car. No one here has discovered that I also have the ability to release group hallucinations!"

The biggest difference between smart people and fools is their ability to understand. In many cases, smart people often only need a hint, and then they are able to understand the deeper meaning on their own. As expected, Peng Hu said that there is no need to continue to elaborate. The next moment, He Fei, Zhao Ping, Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao already understood the meaning one after another.

The overall meaning is not complicated, at least it is easy to understand in front of a certain man with glasses.

So, holding his nose and eyes, Zhao Ping, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. While staring at Peng Hu, he said something thoughtful: "Could it be that... that worm will first release the mass hallucination before killing people? First, he uses an illusion to deceive the surrounding students, making others mistakenly believe that everything in the car is normal. Only after killing the victim and hiding himself again will the illusion be lifted and others can see the body."

"Haha, you're right, that's what I meant!" After listening to Zhao Ping's explanation, Peng Hu smiled and nodded proudly.

As for others...

The crowd fell into astonishment, and everyone including He Fei froze with astonishment on their faces, looking at Peng Hu with surprise.

To be honest, as everyone who has been familiar with the bald man for a long time, they know what Peng Hu is capable of. Needless to say, he is strong in force. His seemingly rough but careful character is also considered excellent. Even so, but After all, Peng Hu's ability to analyze problems is inferior to those of He Fei and Zhao Ping who rely on their brains, and his ability to observe details is surpassed by Cheng Ying. I thought Peng Hu would say a wrong point of view, but unexpectedly it turned out to be logical and impossible to refute!

Let’s get back to the topic, let’s not talk about Peng Hu’s occasional bursts of wisdom. After careful consideration, after confirming that what Peng Hu said was reasonable, Zhao Ping turned to look at He Fei and asked: “What do you think? ?”

"Well, this, I basically have the same opinion as you. I think what Brother Peng said has some truth, but in the final analysis, it is just a guess. This can be noted down for the time being. As for whether the specific truth is like this, maybe we can only Find the answer in the mission."

As mentioned above, in the face of Zhao Ping's probing inquiry, He Fei frowned slightly and told the truth, with a skeptical attitude, neither agreeing nor denying, which seemed to be in line with his unique personal caution.

After saying that, he lowered his head and glanced at the time on his watch. Then, He Fei stood up and looked back at everyone and said, "The time is almost up. The train is about to stop. Everyone, get ready to get off."
