Unfortunately, simply being nervous can't solve the problem. Just being afraid is no different from waiting to die. Peng Hu knows this, Chen Xiaoyao knows it, and Li Tianheng knows it as well. Because of this, after swallowing his saliva, Peng Hu knew this. Tiger started thinking again, just like when he watched the video preview, he thought about it with his smart head, and finally came up with an idea. No, it can't be said to be an idea. It's not so much an idea as it is a guess. An uncertain guess based on past experience.
"By the way, brother, since we already know that there is a hawk hidden in the car, and we also know that the thing can hypnotize us without knowing it, and hypnosis is impossible to prevent, in this case, is it possible that the hawk... "Having said this, the bald man stopped talking, and then turned around and looked back with eye movements that anyone could easily understand. He glanced secretly at the front row of the carriage and looked at all the passengers except the executor.
The look is obvious and the meaning is extremely obvious.
(Lot camouflage? Or carrier-type locust? Well, no matter which of the two guesses is correct, as long as the truth exists in one of the two situations, then this task will be much easier to handle. It is a bit difficult to eliminate the locust. Realistic, but at least some direct or indirect means can be used to lock the monster. Once the monster is locked, whether it is to find the weakness of the monster to counterattack or find other ways to prevent it, it will all be beneficial to the executor, but ...)
(Is it that simple? Will the curse leave us such a big flaw?)
At the same time, just as He Fei was bowing his head in deep thought and analyzing the pros and cons when prompted by Peng Hu's sudden speculation, across from him, Zhao Ping raised his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Zhao Ping turned his head slightly and looked at someone beside him. Look at the short-haired girl who has been silent for a long time.
After staring for a moment, the bespectacled man suddenly opened his mouth and asked Cheng Ying a question: "When there was chaos in the carriage before, you seemed to have done something else? Can you tell me what specifically you did?"
Yes, as a veteran whose observation is as meticulous as that of He Fei, although Zhao Ping and He Fei focused on examining the body at the beginning of the incident, the man's eyes hidden under the lenses did not pay full attention to the body, but occasionally glanced at it. After looking elsewhere, the man discovered something. During this period, he saw Cheng Ying and the girl taking advantage of the chaos in the carriage to leave her seat and then shuttle back and forth in the carriage.
Seeing the man with glasses asking her, Cheng Ying's instinct froze, and then she couldn't help but secretly praise this man's sharp eyes. It was not just Zhao Ping, but his presence could really make up for some of He Fei's shortcomings.
Of course, the secret praise in her heart is just the secret praise in her heart. In reality, Cheng Ying will never praise anyone in person, not to mention that she still has to do one thing, which is difficult to understand in her eyes but must be done. things, such as...
As soon as Zhao Ping finished speaking, Cheng Ying took action and answered the other party with practical actions. She took out a black wooden box from behind in front of everyone.
The wooden box was not large in size, at most equivalent to the size of a child's shoe box. Next, Cheng Ying opened the wooden box without hesitation.
As the lid of the box opens, a box full of small dolls comes into view.
……………
The time returns to 5 minutes ago.
When the passengers in the car and the executioner were attracted by a young man who died suddenly, when everyone was frightened by the tragic scene of the body and shouted, while the crowd at the scene was in chaos, Cheng Ying did not panic or be curious. , also did not check the body immediately like He Fei and Zhao Ping, but suddenly left his seat and shuttled among the people in the carriage.
During the shuttle, the girl kept searching. Sometimes she knelt down to check the bottom of the passenger seat, and sometimes she raised her head and feet to search the luggage racks. Her eyes were extremely serious. No one knew what she was looking for, and no one knew the purpose of her doing so. What was the meaning? The only thing that was clear was that while the crowd was temporarily confused, the female killer quickly searched the bus compartment. Finally, she found a wooden box under the driver's exclusive driving seat.
Because the location is relatively secretive, and there are shadows under the seat, it stands to reason that no one would pay attention there. Under normal circumstances, no one would be free to observe there. However, even so, Cheng Ying still discovered it. With her professional The killer's keen vision spotted the base wooden box.
Seeing this, some people may want to ask, since there are already a lot of cumbersome luggage in the carriage, why does Cheng Ying have to be interested in a wooden box? Or why does Cheng Ying care so much about that wooden box?
The reason is very simple. There are two main points. First, unlike those luggage packages that are openly displayed outside, the storage location of the wooden box is relatively secretive. It feels like it was deliberately placed in a dark place for concealment. Second, the color of the wooden box It is special, completely black, with no words or logos on the surface. At first glance, it always gives people an indescribable and unknown sense of mystery.
So naturally, the moment she discovered the black wooden box, Cheng Ying moved and pulled the black box out of the base as fast as lightning and took it into her hand.
As for why she searched the car for no reason? In fact, for seniors, there is no need to explain. If you have to answer an explanation, there is only one answer, that is, Cheng Ying has a very good memory and can remember a few words at any time, and the reason that prompted her to search the carriage came from Yu Ye Wei and He Fei come from the past words of the two captains.
Ye Wei once said that the way out of a supernatural mission will not come out by itself. If you want to find a way out, the executor must actively search for clues.
Similarly, He Fei also said that clues are often hidden deep, and only by searching carefully can you gain anything.
so……
When she discovered that she had inexplicably fallen asleep while being highly concentrated, and when she woke up, she saw the horrifying reality that someone had died tragically in the carriage. Cheng Ying was frightened. She sensed a death crisis from this extremely strange incident and had a premonition of the future. In the end, it is conceivable that even a professional killer with a keen sense like himself could be tricked without any clue, let alone others.
Under the fear, the girl was extremely panicked. The panic prompted her to recall the past, and then she searched in her mind to find out the experience summaries and key words of the two captains on the supernatural mission, and actively looked for clues.
There is no doubt that the number one clue currently must be the corpse, and He Fei and others are indeed checking the corpse carefully now. Since the corpse is being paid attention to, he does not want to join in. Instead of doing anything unnecessary, it is better to take advantage of the chaos. Search the car to see if you find anything else. As a result, she actually found clues and discovered a mysterious black box that was quite weird no matter how you looked at it!
only……
When she opened the lid of the box and looked inside, Cheng Ying couldn't understand it for a moment. She had no choice but to give up temporarily until the autopsy was over and everyone gathered at the back of the car to discuss in low voices. Then, under Zhao Ping's deliberate questioning, Cheng Ying took advantage of the situation. The black box is made public.
………
"Eh? Cheng Ying, this thing you took out is..."
"Black box? What is this?"
As expected, when the girl suddenly took out a black wooden box and put it in front of their eyes, everyone was stunned. Peng Hu was also the first to point to the black box and asked blankly. Peng Hu was like this. Chen Xiaoyao also stared at the black box and asked instinctively. Even He Fei, who was immersed in thinking just now, was stunned by the strange black box that suddenly appeared in front of him. Needless to say, everyone else was staring at the black box, and their eyes were collectively attracted. Zhao Ping, who was always calm, had a look of surprise when he saw the black box. Although he did realize that Cheng Ying seemed to be looking for something a few minutes ago, he still didn't expect that the other party would find a black box after searching for so long?
Maybe she noticed the curious expressions of everyone, and saw Peng Hu asking questions one after another. She shrugged her shoulders. Cheng Ying shook her head and replied: "Don't ask me, I don't know what this is. I just looked at it from the driver's seat." I found it under the chair and it looked weird, so I just picked it up."
Sure enough, after listening to the girl's narration, no one else seemed to care. Only Chen Xiaoyao's expression changed drastically in an instant, and then he put on an extremely exaggerated expression of pain and sorrow. Then he pointed at Cheng Ying and lamented and complained: "Oh! I said Ah Ying Ah, how can you do such a thing? As the saying goes, taking things in private is stealing, but you actually stole things! Ah Ying, you have changed, you are no longer innocent, you are no longer the same person you used to be!"
"Hey, hey, don't, don't, don't draw the knife first, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
Let’s not talk about how Chen Xiaoyao, who was afraid of being killed, was kneeling and kowtowing, crying and begging for mercy. At this moment, looking at the strange black wooden box in front of him, He Fei broke free and fell into doubt. It was obvious that his views on the black box were different from those of Cheng. Ying is the same. Due to the weird shape of the box and the relatively secretive location, not to mention attracting Cheng Ying's attention, he would definitely be curious and take it away. So naturally, He Fei was very interested in Cheng Ying's move. I agree, as for what to do next...
Seeing He Fei nodding, across from him, Cheng Ying, who had already stomped Chen Xiaoyao's head with her riding boots at some point, understood, gave up the idea of crushing Funny's head with her feet, and turned around to open the lid of the box.
As the lid of the box opens, a box full of small dolls comes into view.
"Now, it's full of these stuff. I looked at it once when I got it, but I couldn't figure out what the meaning of these dolls was."
Staring at the pile of dolls filled with black boxes in front of her, Cheng Ying told the truth that she didn't care. The others were immediately discouraged after seeing clearly what was in the box. Yes, the entire scene had not gotten up except for the brutal beating just now. Outside Chen Xiaoyao, almost everyone was discouraged by the mediocre dolls in the box. Li Tianheng shrugged his shoulders with a bitter look on his face, Chen Shuihong sighed and lowered his head, and Peng Hu was stunned for a few seconds. Said: "That's it? Are these the only things in the box?"
It’s not surprising that everyone had this reaction. After all, everyone was attracted by the weird appearance of the black box from the beginning, which aroused strong curiosity. Out of curiosity, people speculated that the things inside must not be simple, and maybe they were... A powerful magic weapon that can ward off evil spirits and worms, but when you open it, what you see is actually a doll! A bunch of human-shaped dolls that are useless no matter how you look at them. The workmanship is rough and the materials are crude. If they are sold on the market, few people will buy them!
Due to the huge contrast between reality and expectations, everyone was disappointed when they saw that there were a bunch of rough dolls in the box.
However, there are no absolutes.
If Peng Hu and others' first reaction when they saw the dolls was to sigh in frustration, then He Fei didn't seem to see it that way. Instead, after discovering that there were a bunch of human dolls in the box, his eyes widened and his brows narrowed slightly, and then he just interacted with the people next to him. Zhao Ping, who had a similar reaction, observed together.
While observing, He Fei picked one up casually, put it in front of his eyes and took a closer look. He saw that the doll was small in size, at most the size of half a human palm, and its appearance was indeed rough in workmanship, even so rough that it was difficult to distinguish it. The gender is male and female. Only the body and limbs made of wood prove that it is a humanoid doll. The outer part is covered with a hand-sewn coarse cloth garment. Bar.
The matter is not over, and the observation is far from over. After throwing the dolls back into the black box, He Fei, with his usual meticulous control of details, also counted the number of dolls in the box. The number was neither too many nor too few. , 12, a total of 12 humanoid dolls.
but……
It was precisely when he counted the number of dolls, or in other words, after he learned that there were 12 dolls in the box, He Fei, who had been slightly disappointed just now, suddenly changed his expression, his heart tightened, and his brain began to work subconsciously. Come on, I can't help but guess.
(There are 12 dolls stored in a box that is mysterious and weird no matter how you look at it, and the total number of executors is exactly 12. Is this a coincidence? No, if it is really a coincidence, then this whole body is mysterious. The weird black box should not appear in the car, or even appear there. After all, this is the United States, a country with a short history and lack of inheritance, and the dolls in the box in front of you are extremely inconsistent with the common shapes of European and American dolls, as expected. Yes, the black box should have no owner. It is something that appeared inexplicably inside the bus. As for who put the black box in the car...)
(Huh? Are the dolls related to this supernatural mission? Or are the dolls connected to our own executors who are currently performing the mission? If not, then the number of dolls should not be equal to the number of executors!)
(I seem to understand, I understand what is going on. I see, cursed, you never issue a fatal mission. Even if you are trapped in a bus with no way to escape, even if the disabled props are despairing, you will always give us help in despair. There is a glimmer of hope left, but...)
(What is the specific function of the doll? If you can't find out the specific purpose of the doll, even if you leave us a way to survive, we will still die here collectively, being slaughtered one by one by the hidden worm that is good at hypnosis. Damn it, what is its function? What is the specific function of the puppet? How can we use the puppet to survive this seemingly unsolvable mission?).
As has been described many times in the past, with his ability to understand beyond ordinary people, combined with his rich mission experience, He Fei quickly figured out the causes and consequences during observation. The executor connected them in series. The only regret was that he could not guess the role of the puppet. Due to the lack of clues, He Fei, who was not a god, could not and could not guess the answer. No matter how hard he tried, he could not figure out the role of the puppet. so……
After confirming that he could not find the answer for the time being, He Fei gave up thinking and instinctively turned his head to look across the way, at a man with glasses who was staring at the puppet thoughtfully.
(Huh? His reaction was calmer than mine, and his expression was not as tangled as mine. Could it be possible...)
Seeing Zhao Ping's calm and calm expression as he stared at the doll, He Fei became curious, and speculations began to form in his mind, and he subconsciously asked: "How is it? Have you thought of anything?"
Seeing He Fei's curious and probing inquiry, maybe his thoughts were finally different from those of college students. The man with glasses nodded slightly, then turned his head and answered truthfully: "I have some insights and guesses, but my guesses only stay at At the theoretical level, it is a personal understanding that is completely unsupported by logic and evidence, so I am not going to say it until it is confirmed. If I say it, it will only affect your and everyone's analytical thinking, and may even lead the entire team to a dead end. "
"Having said this, there was a pause. Before He Fei could speak, Zhao Ping suddenly changed the topic and continued directly towards He Fei: "Of course, although you can't say it, you can do it directly. "
After that, without waiting for He Fei to speak, Zhao Ping stood up from his seat and looked around, then opened his mouth and ordered under the blank and curious eyes of many executors: "Everyone, listen up, now each person takes a doll and puts it on his body. Take this with you and don’t lose it.”
"Eh? Zhao Ping, what do you mean by this?"
"Yeah, yeah, aren't they just a bunch of useless wooden dolls? Why do we have to carry them all together?"
As expected, as Zhao Ping still couldn't understand the man's intention, the crowd suddenly went crazy. Except for He Fei who was silently thinking, most of the others were at a loss. Peng Hu looked stunned and asked decisively. Li Tianheng was also confused and then agreed, With two people taking the lead, Chen Shuihong's fat face also clearly had a lot of question marks. Needless to say, the newcomers, with their so little mission experience that they have almost no mission experience, let alone understanding, can maintain their composure. Not bad, but Tang Meng was the only exception. Maybe psychiatrists are good at reading people's hearts. After observing He Fei and Zhao Ping's reactions, although she couldn't guess the man's intentions, she still followed the instructions directly. To obey orders unconditionally without asking, first take out a doll from the black box.
Witnessing the woman's entire movement, Zhao Pingping was expressionless and seemed to have no reaction to the woman's orders. However, if you observe carefully, you can still find a faint hint of approval in the man's seemingly unchanged expression.
"Hey! Zhao Ping, what are you talking about? Why are you farting?" As the most straightforward person among the crowd, as long as someone dares to betray someone in front of him, Peng Hu has always been merciless in catching and biting anyone. When scolding Cheng Ying In this way, he scolded Zhao Ping in the same way. Sure enough, when he saw the man with glasses ignoring him for a long time, unlike others who were afraid of Zhao Ping, the bald man directly scolded him in person. Unfortunately, it was of no use. Zhao Ping still ignored him, and the other party just ignored him. He didn't say anything after the next sentence of endless instructions. He just glanced at He Fei opposite him and Cheng Ying, who was just as thoughtful as He Fei, and then...
"Shut up, baldhead! Where's all this nonsense? Just do whatever I ask you to do!"
Cheng Ying moved. After raising her leg and kicking Peng Hu, she grabbed a doll and forced it into the bald man's hands. At the same time, He Fei also appeared in time to express his support and gave instructions to Peng Hu and everyone present: "Everyone listen to Zhao Ping. Remember, everyone takes a doll and carries it with them!"
The result can be expected. With Cheng Ying stepping forward to force him and He Fei, the captain's personal order, everyone stopped talking and stopped asking questions. Both seniors and newcomers all went to get the dolls honestly. Even just now Chen Xiaoyao, who was trampled to death by Cheng Ying, struggled to get up and took one. Only a certain bald man expressed his dissatisfaction. He glared at Cheng Ying fiercely and cursed: "Fuck, you sleepy pig, when will you Are you wearing the same pair of pants with that Zhao glasses?"
Getting back to the topic, under Zhao Ping’s instructions without explaining the reason at all, the executor distributed all the dolls in the box, one for each person, either tightly holding the dolls or putting them in their pockets. As for the specifics, reason? Or why do you do this? Although Zhao Ping did not explain, He Fei vaguely thought of something and then roughly understood the man's intention.
In the back row, the brief discussion ended. As everyone returned to their respective passenger seats, the passengers in the front row who had been making noises earlier also ended at about the same time. Who else could end it besides John?
"Damn! I didn't expect there was no signal here! Okay, there's nothing I can do. Come on, Grace, come over and help me."
That's right, as described above, because the call could not be made and changing mobile phones still had no effect, John finally gave up and stopped trying to contact the police station. Instead, he cursed this desolate road with no signal. He was very angry. The scolding was enjoyable, but the passengers obviously found it difficult to understand John's anger, so naturally, under the collective protest of the driver and the passengers, John compromised and hurriedly called Grace to take the deceased away from the bus. First, The deceased was taken out of the car, and then the body was stuffed into the tool box at the rear of the bus. There is no doubt that as the focus of the investigation, the body cannot be discarded casually, but it cannot be left in the car forever, right? After all, no one wants to stay with a corpse for a long time, let alone other passengers. Even John and Grace themselves don’t want to stay in the carriage with a slowly decaying corpse. In desperation, they have no choice but to temporarily Place the body in the relatively empty tool box at the back of the car.
What happened next was simple. Seeing John and the two return to the car, the driver who had been waiting for a long time restarted the car. With the roar of the car body, the bus resumed driving and continued to drive forward along the highway, heading towards the seemingly endless road. The abyss of the road at the end...
