"Also, if you still don't believe it, how can you explain what happened recently?"
Relying on his always excellent deception eloquence, combined with the strange reality of frequent deaths on buses, John was finally deceived. Although he did not necessarily believe He Fei 100%, he believed at least 70%. The reason is simple. If the person in front of him What is said is false, so what is the explanation for the successive deaths in the bus? There is also the terrifying phenomenon of being inexplicably swallowed by the ground once you get far away from the bus...
Difficult, is it possible that there really are worms? There is a scary evil spirit that looks like a witch hidden in the car! ?
Thinking of this, and having already believed it for more than 70%, John gradually lost his composure, and hurriedly raised his head and scanned the front compartment, looking everywhere with frightened eyes. It was obvious that John was trying to find the target, the hidden hawk. It's a pity that he is doing useless work. Imagine that even He Fei and other executors who are proficient in supernatural beings can't find the location of the creature. If you can find it at a glance, it will be a miracle!
Time passed slowly and entered the night unconsciously.
Time, 22:30.
In the night, with the cold wind howling outside the bus, the bus kept driving along the highway in the vast and desolate wilderness. Yes, in order to cross the wilderness and reach the city as soon as possible, the driver drove very fast, and was currently driving at a speed that was almost speeding. Driving the bus at high speed in the same way, in the same way, knowing that there were hawks in the car, in addition to the executors who were all focused and vigilant, most of the remaining passengers who had been frightened and collapsed by the many fatal incidents were also cautious and wide-eyed. Afraid that they would fall asleep again, and even more afraid that they would be the next to die, the crowd spent the time in fear. Except for the roar of the car body, the entire carriage was silent.
Of course, it cannot be said that being on tenterhooks has no effect. For some reason, since the bus restarted a few hours ago, the whole period has been calm. Everything has been normal for several hours. There has not been a single inexplicable drowsiness. There has been no drowsiness. Naturally, there was no death, which made the passengers who had been worried a little bit more at ease. Many people even had the faint idea that the mongoose might have left.
As for whether he really left? The answer is obviously impossible, absolutely impossible! ! !
At this moment, feeling the dead silence in the carriage, the executioners were nothing but fear. The only reason for their fear was that they had no choice. Until now, they still could not come up with any effective defensive method to deal with the locust attack. Of course, there was no way. Absolutely, Xu had kept in mind the idea of a certain man with glasses. In the silence, apart from always lowering their heads and thinking about He Fei, some of the executors had some changes. They all turned their gazes to Zhao Ping under the pressure of the increasingly strong desire to die. The intention was obvious. ,only……
In other words, what they found strange or even incomprehensible was that when he came into contact with the eyes of several people, the man with glasses shook his head directly, and then used his eyes to hint to them not to speak or act.
The matter was not over yet. At the same time, when some people were suddenly surprised and puzzled, a paper ball came from behind and was quietly handed to the front row. Without anyone noticing, it was thrown directly into the front row. The ball was stuffed into Li Tianheng's pocket...
Um?
……………
Looking at the dark and silent night scene outside the window, and then glancing at He Fei who was bowing his head and saying nothing, Li Tianheng's mouth twitched and his face turned pale!
He was scared, terrified, sitting on pins and needles in the center of this high-speed bus. Like other executioners, he was enveloped in an extremely strong atmosphere of death. He was depressed, and the root cause of his depression and discomfort was undoubtedly Lobster, that hidden locust whose name is only heard but whose shadow is not seen, an unknown existence that he may only be able to see with his own eyes when he dies.
Why does it have to be said that seeing a locust means death? It's simple, because everyone who has seen the hidden locust has died. No matter the executor or the plot character, no one has survived the locust's attack so far.
To be honest, Li Tianheng has seen various types of locusts. From the time he came to the cursed space to the present, he has seen and even come into contact with too many locusts. Among them, there are also some that are so powerful that they can kill people in an instant. There is no doubt that this kind of locust is terrifying, and Li Tianheng did think so before, until he entered the mission world called 'Abyss Highway'.
Then, his worldview was once again refreshed, along with his earlier definition of horror, because...
He was trapped, trapped in a bus with a small space. There were hawks here, but the problem was that they couldn't be found! It's okay if you can't find it. What's even more frightening is that the attack method of the locust is extremely weird. The degree of weirdness is beyond human understanding. As long as a person appears in the irresistible hypnosis, he will be attacked. When he wakes up, he will see the carriage. Someone died, so the bus passengers continued to die one after another in hypnotic trances. The number of bus passengers was reduced frequently, but the enforcers had no way to deal with it. There was no way to deal with it. In addition, there was no way to escape due to the rules and regulations, so they had no choice but to stay in the bus. Waiting to die!
The feeling of waiting to die is heavy and desperate. Regardless of others, at least Li Tianheng hates this feeling extremely, because he knows himself, and he knows that once he goes crazy, he will dare to do anything. When pressed, he will even dare to risk his life. However, this It's different this time, this time is special, because this time the enemy doesn't show up at all, the other party uses methods that humans can't understand from beginning to end to hide the murder, and doesn't give you a chance to go crazy and risk your life, and this kind of power has nowhere to use Not to mention how uncomfortable it feels. .
The only good thing is that since the two hypnotic murders occurred at the beginning of the night, everything was normal in the following hours. For some reason, the tiger never took action, which gave some buses a little peace of mind. Of course, this so-called peace of mind is only It is limited to plot characters, and does not include the executors, because any executor with some experience knows that this is not a good thing, but more like the dead calm before the storm.
so……
After looking at the night view outside the window, he saw that He Fei beside him was unresponsive for a long time. Knowing that the other party was analyzing and thinking about finding a way out, he did not dare to disturb him, so he turned his head and glanced at the back row, looking at a certain man with glasses.
Since the previous deceased passengers included the white woman sitting next to him, Zhao Ping became a loner. Currently, he was sitting alone in a row of silence. Under the gold-rimmed glasses, the man's eyes occasionally glanced, and his eyes occasionally came into contact with other executioners nearby, while others The reason why they looked at Zhao Ping was also very simple, that is, everyone did not suffer from amnesia, and they all remembered the guess about the way out that Zhao Ping put forward a few hours ago. In addition, they were unwilling to wait for death, so everyone began to ask questions, using their eyes one after another. Ask Zhao Ping if he is leaving? Especially Chen Shuihong, who has always been afraid of death, frequently looked back. Chen Shuihong was like this, Lu Chengbing and Jiang Liqing were not much different. Even Peng Hu occasionally looked back at Zhao Ping. However, unexpectedly, several people he came into contact with After asking, Zhao Ping shook his head and signaled them not to move in an extremely obvious way.
Let’s not talk about how surprised Peng Hu and others were after receiving the signal. When Cheng Ying saw this scene, the girl’s brows slightly knitted in thought. Chen Xiaoyao, who also witnessed this scene, looked as if he understood something. He raised his voice slightly, and immediately held down Chen Shuihong, who was about to stand up and ask questions due to too much fear, and then put his hand to his mouth to signal for silence in the middle-aged fat man's puzzled eyes.
Everyone else shook their heads when they saw Zhao Ping, why didn't Li Tianheng see it? Sure enough, after he regained his gaze and turned his head, Li Tianheng was puzzled. He just sat back on the guest chair and was confused. He also wondered what the bespectacled man's intention was, but...
Um?
Just when Li Tianheng was confused and confused, he suddenly felt something. He turned sideways and looked down at his pocket. His right hand immediately reached into the pocket and took out a paper ball.
Out of curiosity, I opened it and saw something written in the note:
Unlock the handcuffs for the black man.
There was no need to deliberately search for it. The note was definitely from Zhao Ping in the back row. It was 100% handed to him by the man with glasses. The content was simple and clear. It was simply that the man with glasses knew that he had lock-picking skills, so he asked himself to get the handcuffs for the black man. Yes, what he said is so true, but the question is why did Zhao Ping order himself to help black people regain their freedom? That guy is not a good person, but a drug dealer. If you secretly help him open his handcuffs...
As the saying goes, the name of a Taoist is like the shadow of a tree. Although Li Tianheng still couldn't understand the true meaning of the man with glasses, now that the other party had spoken, Li Tianheng, who had no guts to offend Zhao Ping, decided to carry out the order and honestly follow Zhao Ping's request. At the same time, I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, just when Li Tianheng was making up his mind, at the front of the bus, Xu drank a lot of water during dinner. After driving for several hours, he felt the urge to urinate and stopped the bus.
"If you want to get off easily, get off now to solve the problem. By the way, don't leave the 100-meter radius of the bus!"
Not to mention, due to the long running time of the bus, in addition to the driver in the peaked cap who felt like urinating and getting off the bus, many passengers, including the executor, also got up and got off the bus. For a while, people were shuttled in the carriage. Taking this opportunity, Li Tianheng moved, After witnessing John and Grace also getting out of the car, they saw the opportunity and ran to the back of the car. Then, under Gabri's disbelieving gaze, he took out a wire and stuffed it into the keyhole, obviously intending to help him open the handcuffs!
"Eh? Brother, what are you..."
"Shut up, don't talk. I don't think you want to be seen by those two police officers, right?"
Seeing the young man whom he had scolded earlier run up to him and unlock the door for him, Gabri was both surprised and surprised. Surprised, he instinctively asked, but Li Tianheng directly scolded him and asked him to shut up. Sure enough, after receiving such a reminder from the young man, Gabri instantly became It’s no wonder that he is so honest and dare not speak out. After all, he is a drug dealer. According to American law, the crime of drug trafficking is not light. Often, as long as he is caught, he will be imprisoned for life. To say the least, he will probably be imprisoned even if he does not go to jail. Jiu Hui died in this troubled bus, and the reason why he was sure that the bus was troubled, in addition to the earlier inexplicable deaths of several passengers, was also because he had heard a conversation not long ago, from a group of Oriental people who called themselves FBI. I learned a horrifying truth, that is, this bus hides a ferocious evil spirit that is destined to kill everyone on the bus! .
Gabri originally thought that he was doomed this time, and his situation was even worse than that of other passengers. Although the others were trapped in the bus like him and could not leave, they were not handcuffed. If the danger happened again, they would be locked in the bus. At the end of the day, he had no chance to struggle. Unexpectedly, just when Gabri thought about it more and more, he became more and more afraid and even thought that his future was gloomy. For some reason, the young man with a problem that he had scolded actually got out of the car to help him. He actually used a piece of wire to open his handcuffs! Of course, although the handcuffs were opened, because the police were outside the car, Gabri still pretended to be handcuffed and remained locked. Li Tianheng also quietly returned to his seat after completing the unlocking task.
………
Time continues to pass. In the night, the bus is still running, speeding along a seemingly endless road. Unknowingly, it is approaching midnight. The time is 23:35 in the middle of the night!
Because it was too late and approaching midnight, at this moment, except for the driver who was accustomed to staying up late due to work, the passengers in the carriage began to feel sleepy. Many people yawned continuously. To be honest, if they had not known about the worms in the car, they would have lost their heads. As soon as they fell into a deep sleep, it was a pity that they could neither sleep nor dare to sleep, and they also dared not leave the bus. After all, the three unlucky guys who sank into the ground were a perfect example.
Precisely because of their scruples, even if they were drowsy and yawning all day long, all the passengers in the car, including John and Grace, still cheered up without exception. In order to refresh themselves, many people chose to chat with people they knew or didn’t know around them. The familiar passengers chatting about trivial matters somewhat relieved the long-depressed atmosphere in the carriage.
It is conceivable that even the characters in the plot dare not close their eyes, let alone the executor who is well aware of the terrifying monsters. But then again, many people are worried about those hours of peace and quiet. Doubts arose, wondering why Yu Qi didn't take action for so long?
Could it be that the hidden worm is no longer in the carriage? Or does that creature have other plans?
It doesn't matter whether he has any other plans. What's important is that Chen Xiaoyao has already concluded that Qi is definitely still in the car and will never let them go. He will definitely kill all the people in the car tonight!
then……
Based on the mentality of being prepared, Chen Xiaoyao was prepared this time. He distributed Taoist talismans to everyone in advance, and distributed Taoist talismans written in black dog blood to everyone. Although he did not know whether they were of any use, Chen Xiaoyao was He really tried his best to protect his teammates as much as possible, so naturally, after receiving the Taoist Talisman handed over by Taoist Chen, Chen Shuihong hurriedly stuffed it into his pocket, as if he was nervous about losing the Taoist Talisman. Seeing this, Chen Xiaoyao suddenly felt funny, and his funny attribute was activated again.
"Hey, hey, hey, I said, Brother Chen, you are going a little too far. You should be afraid, but why are the fat on your body still shaking? Can we stop shaking? If you continue to shake like this, I I’m worried that you’ll be frightened to death before the locust attacks you!”
Facing the young man's sarcasm, Chen Shuihong didn't care. He just trembled and instinctively retorted: "You, stop joking, how could I be scared to death?"
"By the way, is the talisman you just gave me useful? Can you kill the worms when you encounter them?"
"Here I go! Kill the worms? Brother Chen, do you really dare to think about it? If I am really that capable, then do I still need to sit here with you in fear? How can I just pull the worms out and slap them to death?" Isn’t it better? To tell you the truth, I don’t know if this talisman is useful.”
Perhaps the conversation between the two was overheard by a bald man in the back row. As Chen Xiaoyao finished speaking, Peng Hu immediately intervened and complained to Chen Xiaoyao in an unwilling tone: "I asked you, why are your moral skills so low? They say famous teachers are born. Master disciple, unexpectedly, this is not the case with you. You clearly dug out the "Tao follows nature" left by your master and studied it. Why are you still so sloppy until now? Tell me! Are you studying seriously!? "
"It's unfair, Brother Peng, what you said is wrong. When did I never study seriously? Every time I come back, I will practice in seclusion in my room for a few days. You and everyone know this!"
"Since you said you studied seriously, how come you can't do anything with this cockroach?"
"Of course there is no other way. You have to understand that practicing Taoism needs to be mastered gradually and slowly. You must first learn the basics before you can practice other things. You cannot learn it immediately with a book in your hand. For example, if you take a book University books are given to a primary school student to learn. If he can learn it, it will be really amazing! What's more, this turtle itself is quite weird, and it is very different from the regular spirit body. With my current cultivation level, I am indeed I can’t resist hypnosis and I can’t find the worm at the same time!”
Listening to Chen Xiaoyao's mournful answer full of grievances, the bald man in the back row began to tremble, just like Chen Shuihong sitting in the front row. Of course, there were differences. If Chen Shuihong was a fat man, then Peng Tiger, on the other hand, was trembling wildly. While trembling, he glanced at the girl next to him.
(Sister, please wake up quickly. Even Zhao Jingyan said that only you can deal with that worm. If you don’t wake up, our entire team will be found in the broken car. Mom, I’m going to pee right now. I was scared out of my mind...)
Yes, after listening to Chen Xiaoyao's helpless answer and seeing Kong Ling's still unconscious state, Peng Hu's mouth twitched and his flesh trembled wildly, and his smooth head was covered with cold sweat. Fortunately, he was not completely desperate, because, After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Peng Hu turned his eyes behind him and looked at the handsome young man in the back row who had been silent for several hours.
The seventh row of the carriage.
At this moment, He Fei forgot everything and ignored everything. Except for the interruption of his thoughts not long ago due to John's interference, he had been thinking the rest of the time. His whole person was immersed in some kind of selfless state, because his thoughts were too concentrated. , and his brain was running all the time, gradually, He Fei had a slight understanding that he had not had before. In other words, through thinking, he analyzed some of the key points from the many clues he had recently grasped.
(After evaluating the situation, I think it is unlikely that the curse will maliciously deceive the executor. After all, this mission is just a regular mission. It is different from special missions that have always had a huge difficulty gap. In my impression, regular missions are often of fixed difficulty. If we exclude occasional occurrences Except for the traps, so far, there has never been a situation where the difficulty of a regular task has increased sharply. Well, since there is no deception, then this task must meet the normal difficulty of the curse judgment. It is a task that can still go smoothly even if the prop executor is disabled. Completed mission. As for why this mission gives people a sense of incomprehension? Maybe it’s because I’m looking in the wrong direction.)
(I vaguely feel that I am looking in the wrong direction, and the reason why this mission is unsolvable in the eyes of me and everyone is precisely here. The source of the extreme fear for me and everyone is also here. I don’t The key to breaking the situation should be focused on the monster, because the monster itself is an existence that cannot be resisted. Not to mention anything else, the irresistible hypnosis has completely blocked the way for the executor to try to understand the monster. Since it is 100% doable If I don’t understand oysters, then why do I still have to look for a way out of oysters? This is no different from trying to catch the moon in the mirror.)
(Huh? Wait, don’t look for a way out of the oysters, and completely give up trying to understand the oysters...)
As mentioned many times before, time is a good thing, especially for those who are in the task world. It is the most valuable thing. Indeed, it is very important to be able to get enough time to analyze and think in a relatively safe environment. It's rare, so this is why He Fei will just think about it for several hours without asking anything. Yes, he knows how to use time, and he knows how to use the relatively abundant safe time to analyze and think about problems. In the end, through several hours of After hours of speculation and analysis, the college student came to a conclusion and suddenly realized that he had made a wrong move! And the chess piece he initially moved in the wrong direction was obviously the wrong one to break the game, which led to him being frightened by the extremely terrifying hypnotic and murderous methods of the beast. It frightened him into chaos and frightened everyone into thinking that the curse was deliberately trapping him. They deliberately labeled a difficult mission as ordinary.
But in fact?
In fact, the curse did not deceive anyone. It was a real ordinary level mission, a regular mission that even the executor could complete without using props!
As for how to complete this mission?
With the worms excluded, He Fei focused on other aspects, such as the bus itself, the characters in the plot, and the 12 weird dolls with unknown origins!
(Zhao Ping once guessed that the puppet could serve as a surrogate for death, but the guess failed. Yang Zhibin was killed by a wolf while carrying the puppet. It seems that the doll does not have the function of surrogate death. Since it does not have the function of surrogate death, then, these What is the real function of the doll?).
Thinking of this, He Fei acted instinctively. The moment he broke away from his thoughts, he raised his head and turned back, intending to ask Zhao Ping if he had discovered anything.
But……
(Um?)
The moment He Fei turned his head and looked at the back row, the first thing that caught his eye was the emptiness!
The guest chairs behind him were empty. There was no Zhao Ping there. Not only was there no Zhao Ping, but as his eyes turned elsewhere, the other guest chairs were equally empty. Even Li Tianheng, who had been sitting next to him, disappeared without knowing when, or it could be said that he had disappeared as early as the college student finished thinking. From the moment I observed the surroundings, the carriage was already empty, and everyone, whether they were the performers or the characters in the plot, had disappeared! ! !
