There is no reason, no reason. At this moment, Zhao Ping changed his target. After informing his teammates about his personal analysis, he took out the puppet and looked at it intently. During this period, he was doing two things, looking outside the puppet and sometimes glancing downwards. He Fei was lying on the ground.
(Aren't you awake yet? If you find a way out, wake up quickly. Although I have explained the power of the locust to everyone on your behalf, I can't find a way to fight the locust. The hypnosis is still there. There is no way to resist, the illusion is still impossible to escape, and there is no clue about the way out. Damn it, what should I do? Time is running out, and the tiger may attack again at any time...)
At the same time, regardless of what Zhao Ping was currently thinking, everyone was stunned when they saw the bespectacled man instinctively taking out the puppet and looking at it as soon as he finished describing his analysis. Chen Shuihong scratched the back of his head and asked curiously: "Eh? Brother Zhao, what are you doing? Why did you take out the doll and look at it? Isn't this thing useless at all?"
That's right, as experienced earlier, since Yang Zhibin was killed by a wolf while carrying a doll, the executioner had already given up hope on the pile of dolls that Cheng Ying found. So, unexpectedly, Zhao Ping once again took out the puppet and looked at it carefully in front of everyone?
Why? Why continue to observe this useless puppet?
Is it possible...
Because the man's action was too abrupt, upon seeing this, in addition to Chen Shuihong who asked out of confusion and curiosity, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao and Li Tianheng were also momentarily confused by Zhao Ping's sudden action of taking out the doll and examining it carefully. They were stunned. Fortunately, everyone was not stupid. Seeing the bespectacled man paying attention to the doll, out of curiosity, several people also followed suit and reached into their pockets. They took out the wooden dolls they carried with them and looked at them intently. They looked at them carefully. Unfortunately, nothing was found. The result was predictable. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal about the doll, after waiting for a moment, Peng Hu finally couldn't help it. While shaking the doll in his hand, he urged Zhao Ping and asked: " Hey, hey, hey, Zhao Ping, what are you looking at? I just looked at this thing again, and I can't see anything? Can you explain clearly what you are looking at... Huh? Cheng Ying, what are you doing?"
Peng Hu was stopped by Cheng Ying before he finished speaking. While looking at the girl, he saw Cheng Ying facing him and shaking her head slightly, signaling him to shut up and stop talking for the time being.
Sure enough, as Cheng Ying came forward to signal for silence, everyone stopped talking or asking questions. They just gathered around and waited quietly. They all looked at Zhao Ping with good intentions and watched the man observing the puppet.
As for Zhao Ping...
The man remained silent, still looking up and down at the puppet in his hand in an extremely serious manner. While observing, many doubts arose in his mind.
(Through the death of Yang Zhibin, I am now completely sure that the doll does not have the function of surrogate death and cannot replace the executioner when killed. It is almost a useless thing. If this is the case, then why did I subconsciously take out the doll? Why? Do I involuntarily think of dolls when I can’t find a way out? Is it because I’m too scared and I seek medical attention in a hurry? Or is my intuition prompting me that my way out is related to dolls?)
Intuition is an extremely mysterious thing. In many cases, it can emerge in the mind without being controlled by the brain and can even prompt people to make certain actions subconsciously. The reason that just caused Zhao Ping to take out the puppet to observe was clearly prompted by intuition! In this way, the command was sent directly to the body through his brain, which then prompted him to reach into his pocket and take out the doll!
However, the matter was not over. At almost the same time, whether it was a coincidence or not, just when the bespectacled man had just come up with the intuitive idea that his birth path was most likely related to the doll, below, He Fei, who was in a coma and had been surrounded by everyone. My eyes suddenly opened! ! !
……………
After my unremitting efforts, God gave me an opportunity. Unfortunately, the opportunity was short-lived, extremely short-lived, and fleeting. But even so, having a chance is better than having no chance. What’s more, I know you, and I believe that with you With your wisdom, you are fully capable of finding the answer. It can be said that this time, the key to whether the team can complete the mission and return alive, and whether it can avoid the group destruction and continue to exist, does not depend on me, but on you!
Without any warning, He Fei, who was originally diagnosed by Tang Meng as suffering from severe blood loss and unable to wake up in a short time, woke up on his own initiative and suddenly opened his eyes when no one expected.
Since they were always around, this scene was seen by Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao, Li Tianheng, Chen Shuihong, Tang Meng and Jiang Liqing, and also Zhao Ping who happened to lower his head. In eyes.
Seeing He Fei open his eyes, everyone was stunned at first. After all, no one expected that He Fei, who was supposed to be in a coma for a long time, would suddenly wake up. Even so, when they saw with their own eyes that the college student had indeed escaped from the coma, everyone suddenly They were still instinctively happy, because they all knew what this meant. As the person with the strongest analysis and reasoning in the team, as long as He Fei was around, he would definitely be able to find a way out. Why? There is no reason, reason? There is no reason, only trust, which is the unconditional trust that everyone has had in He Fei for a long time!
"Ah, He Fei, you're awake!" Seeing this, Li Tianheng reacted the fastest and blurted out with joy on his face. He shouted while reaching out to pull He Fei off the ground, but who would have thought...
Faced with his kind gesture, He Fei ignored it. Instead, the moment he opened his eyes, his face was twisted in pain, like a drowning man who was about to drown in the water. His whole body was breathing rapidly and his body was shaking. Li Tianheng stopped moving and was stunned again. He and Cheng Ying and Peng Hu, who were about to help, were stunned on the spot as if they were struck by lightning. However, it was too late to speak. Before they could react, He Fei was suddenly shocked as if he was electrocuted. He straightened his upper body, grabbed someone, and firmly grabbed the collar of the man with glasses next to him!
At this moment, He Fei was grabbing Zhao Ping and staring at him. He was looking at each other with Zhao Ping, who had been briefly stunned by the young man's strange behavior. While looking at each other, He Fei had a sinister look on his forehead, and his eyes were full of tears. Bloodshot, and under the ferocious face, his throat was rising and falling and trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but for some reason, his throat was rising and falling, as if he wanted to speak, but he just couldn't speak, and he couldn't make a sound. The young man seemed to have discovered this, so he no longer pinned all his hopes on talking. Instead, as if he was in a hurry, he raised his trembling left hand and pointed at something, pointing at the wooden doll that happened to be held by Zhao Ping. !
At the moment when he picked up the finger puppet, Zhao Ping saw something. He saw light from the eyes of He Fei, who was very close at hand, a hint of light that represented absolute certainty. At the same time, after unremitting efforts, the throat that had been rising and falling for a long time also emitted a light. A string of extremely short and extremely weak sounds:
"replace……"
The above are the two words that He Fei tried his best to say. First of all, it is certain that his intention is not just two words. There must be other things to say later. However, unfortunately, he can only say so much. Because before he could continue to speak out, He Fei fell down.
Plop.
He Fei fell down. After gesturing to the puppet and saying a word to Zhao Ping, he became unresponsive. He rolled his eyes and fell to the ground as if all the strength in his body had been drained out of him in an instant. He was unconscious again.
Weird, puzzling, inexplicable.
Yes, just now, He Fei woke up. He should have been unconscious for a long time. He miraculously opened his eyes and woke up on his own. As soon as he woke up, he went directly to Zhao Ping, and then did what he said under Zhao Ping's gaze. He moved a finger puppet and said an incomprehensible word. Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, He Fei collapsed and fell back into a coma. It was like he suddenly woke up and suddenly fell into coma again. The description seemed to be a lot, but in fact the process was short. , the whole process only lasted 5 seconds, from when He Fei woke up to when he grabbed Zhao Ping and gave him a signal, and when he fell into coma again before he finished speaking.
5 seconds, 5 seconds is too short, too short to even finish a sentence.
Next…
"Hey, He Fei! He Fei, what are you doing? Wake up, wake up!"
"Quickly, Sister Tang Meng, come over and check and see what's going on with him?"
Seeing He Fei fall to the ground again, everyone came back to their senses. Immediately, the scene exploded. Under the leadership of Cheng Ying, they all leaned down to call. Tang Meng also suddenly came to his senses under Chen Xiaoyao's greeting and hurried forward. Due to the excessive movement, , many passengers were attracted by the sound, and then turned around to look curiously, wanting to see what was going on in the back row. Others were like this. John also subconsciously turned his head to show curiosity. It is not surprising that he paid extra attention to the executor. After all, he was the only one at the scene who knew clearly. The executor is looking for a way out. As early as when He Fei showed his cards to him, the other party clearly told him that there was a bug in the car, and all the executor had to do was to help everyone find a way out. If not, those Oriental people would not have been able to survive forever. They gathered at the back of the car for frequent discussions, not to mention that he had helped them. Not long ago, when the captain named He Fei was injured, he was forced to have a blood transfusion.
As for why the other party was injured earlier? It is said that he was attacked by a locust. The process is unknown, and the Easterners are all tight-lipped.
(Huh? Looking at the situation over there, it seems like something happened to someone? Who? Could it be the captain named He Fei? Impossible? I have obviously already given him a blood transfusion?)
(Okay, there's no point in thinking about it, let's go over and take a look. After all, He Fei is the leader of that group of Easterners. If nothing else, just by the fact that everyone obeys his words, you can tell that that guy should be very capable. Then People are very important, and may even be related to the life and death of the whole car. In this case... I, I, he, I will give him a blood transfusion at most!)
Based on the extraordinary rationality of a professional policeman, John has a good understanding of the overall situation and can distinguish the more important from the more serious. So naturally, as soon as he noticed that something was wrong with He Fei, the man gritted his teeth and made up his mind. , and then instinctively stood up and walked to the back row. There was no doubt that John was mentally prepared to be caught by the group of Easterners again and forcefully draw blood.
At the same time, just as John made up his mind, and just as a group of executors were surrounding He Fei and shouting anxiously, there was one person at the scene who became a special case. He was a gentle man wearing a suit and glasses. He did not participate in the shouting. He Fei did not gather around the young man like the others, but stood in a daze, bowing his head like a sculpture and saying nothing. During the silence, the man frowned and stared at his right hand, his eyes fixed on the strange thing in his hand. The doll seems to be thinking about something.
(What you just meant is...)
(Have you found a way to survive? It seems so, otherwise you would not have been able to temporarily wake up from the coma, let alone signal me in front of me to remind me, but why did you insist on finding me? Why You really trust me when you have to put such a heavy burden on my shoulders. Maybe in your eyes, I am the only person after you who has the ability to lead everyone to survive. Well, since you trust me so much, then I'll just accept this burden. Besides, it's okay if I don't accept it. After all, my life is also related to my personal life and death. Even if it's just for myself, I have to do my best. It turns out that you were right that I was afraid of death, so you I did it on purpose. I didn’t expect that one day I, Zhao Ping, would be put in the same position by you. This is really in line with the old saying, no egg is left unfinished when the nest is overturned, but...)
(But the problem is that your waking time is too short, so short that it passes in an instant, and you also leave too few tips for me to survive!)
(Doll, you once hinted to me that the doll is the key with your extremely sure eyes and gestures. So first of all, I can be sure that the doll is not as useless as you imagined earlier, but is the key to survival. In other words, the path to survival is 100% related to the doll. This is easy to confirm, but what is the specific function of the puppet? How to use the puppet to connect to the direction of life?)
(Replacement? You even said the word "replacement" at the last moment of your coma. Although I can clearly see that you must have something to say later, it's a pity that you only had time to say this before you fell back into a coma. Well, it seems that I have to focus on The word "replacement" is analyzed. Since I want to analyze, I must first understand the meaning of "replacement". That is to say, only if I analyze and understand the deep meaning of the word "replacement" can I find a way out and learn the true use of the doll. Since The result is certain, next I should... hmm? What's going on? My consciousness, my brain...)
(My brain is in chaos and my vision is gradually blurring. Could it be possible...)
(Oops, Oops!!!)
As has been described many times before, the key to why accidents are called accidents is that accidents often come suddenly and unexpectedly. Sometimes they even appear when you are unprepared. Yes, just now, just half a second ago, When the executors were all anxiously watching Tang Meng check on He Fei's condition, when John had just stood up and planned to rush over to ask, and when Zhao Ping was seizing the time to find a way out, an accident happened, a change happened, A familiar feeling appears, and that so-called familiarity is exactly the result of dizziness and blurred vision!
Due to the suddenness of the accident and the sudden onset of drowsiness, the crowd suddenly became strange. Some bus passengers, including the executor, instantly collapsed and staggered sideways and fell into coma as if they had been injected with a highly effective sleeping pill. Not only In this way, because they knew early on what sleep meant, even though they were forced to close their eyes due to strong sleepiness, many people still instinctively showed fear when they sensed the onset of sleepiness, and their faces turned pale for a moment as they lay on their backs in a coma. Their faces were full of panic, but it was meaningless. No matter how scared or reluctant they were, they still fainted in reality, and lost consciousness the moment sleep struck.
If ordinary passengers are simply afraid, then the executors who can barely resist going to bed late for half a second are even more panicked, because they know more and know more than ordinary passengers, or in other words, they know better than anyone else. Know what lethargy means! Therefore, at the moment when sleepiness hit him, Zhao Ping moved, and before he fell to the ground and collapsed, he suddenly raised his head and looked forward, looking at his teammates.
At the last moment when the man with glasses was about to fall asleep, he saw the following scene:
In the field of vision, except for He Fei and Kong Ling, who were unconscious and could not see the actual situation, Peng Hu, Li Tianheng and Tang Meng fell straight on their backs, while Cheng Ying, Chen Xiaoyao, Chen Shuihong and Jiang Liqing The person remains awake and standing in place.
Under the influence of sleepiness, the executioners were divided into two groups, and then there were two different reactions. Some people were shaking like themselves and were about to fall down, while some people were conscious and showed no abnormality.
Unfortunately, in this case, staying awake is not a good thing! ! !
reason? There is no need to explain the reason, because anyone who knows the hidden truth knows what it means, and Zhao Ping understands even more what this situation means!
Therefore, at the moment when he was about to fall to the ground, Zhao Ping only had time to look at Cheng Ying, and only had time to lock onto Cheng Ying. Then at the last moment when his sleepiness increased, he yelled out three words to the girl:
"hold onto!"
Plop.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man with glasses fell down. He rolled over on the spot with Peng Hu and others who were not far away, and fell straight to the ground. He had lost consciousness and had no reaction at all.
As for Cheng Ying...
She also discovered anomalies, but the anomalies she discovered were completely different from those of Zhao Ping. The gap was simply earth-shaking.
A second ago, when she was anxiously staring at He Fei, He Fei disappeared for some reason. Except for He Fei who was lying flat on the ground, even Tang Meng who was checking his injuries and everyone around him disappeared. The trace, yes, disappeared out of thin air, lost its trace in the blink of an eye in an inexplicable way, and then she heard a voice, a loud shout from Zhao Ping:
"hold onto!"
Following the sound, he looked to the right and in the direction of the man, only to realize that there was Zhao Ping on the opposite side? Just like He Fei and others who disappeared out of thin air, the man with glasses also disappeared inexplicably.
Since this was the first time she encountered such an anomaly, even though she already knew the principle, Cheng Ying was caught off guard and was momentarily stunned. Fortunately, the stupor did not last long. She was stunned for only a second, and the strong and cautious professional killer returned instantly. It fills the girl's body instantly, and then...
brush! Hooray!
Cheng Ying moved. After confirming that she was the only one left on the bus, her face suddenly changed. Then she pulled out the dagger from her waist. At the same time, she jumped back like an agile cheetah, moving as fast as lightning. He completed a backflip at a speed that would be difficult for an ordinary person to do. He moved away from the back row of the car and retreated to the front row with extremely agile movements. Why did he stay away from the rear of the car? The answer comes from Zhao Ping, because the bespectacled man had clearly informed everyone of the place where the beetle appeared when he narrated it. The place was none other than the guest chair where the person who had been recruited was sitting, and the guest chair where Cheng Ying was sitting earlier. It happens to be located in the seventh row at the rear of the car.
It is conceivable that when the location of the worm is clearly determined, anyone, unless they are an idiot, will immediately move away from the guest chair and move to the front row. Not to mention what will happen next, they will at least give priority to keeping the distance.
The matter was not over, far from it. As she retreated to the front of the bus, Cheng Ying quickly lowered her head and looked at her watch. As far as she could see, she saw that the time was exactly two o'clock in the morning!
(10 minutes, stick to it no matter what!)
This was the thought that the female killer instinctively came up with after confirming the current time. It was also the last point of Zhao Ping's reminder before she fell into coma. Yes, Cheng Ying now understood. It was clear that the tiger attacked again two hours later, and This time, the person he regarded as prey included herself. Since she became the prey that the worm must kill, the unexplained disappearance of He Fei, other teammates, and all the passengers just now can be explained. She was caught in an illusion and was killed by the human-headed worm. Forcibly dragged into an illusory space with no possibility of escape!
In this special space built and completely controlled by the wolf, the wolf will be omnipotent. In addition to instantly possessing physical means that are not available in reality, the other party can also create various horrific scenes. Of course, it is terrifying. The picture is only secondary, the really scary thing is...
Human-headed worms cannot be eliminated. As long as they are still in the illusion space, they can be resurrected indefinitely!
The above is Cheng Ying's understanding of the characteristics of locusts through Zhao Ping, and it is also her true reaction after noticing the abnormality at the scene. It is no exaggeration to say that in the face of danger, Cheng Ying did not panic, His level of calmness is astonishing, but...
As the saying goes, people are different, and their reactions to danger are naturally different. If Cheng Ying's reaction to danger can be considered rational and calm, then Chen Shuihong does not seem to have the level of a girl. No, it's not. They don’t have it, but they can’t even touch it.
"ah!!!"
The screams echoed in the carriage at this moment, echoing miserably in the empty and silent bus. Chen Shuihong was dumbfounded. He never dreamed that things would turn out like this. Why? Why did the carriage that was full of people a second ago suddenly become empty and only me was left? What about teammates? What about the teammates who originally gathered around them? Why can't I see any? Could it be...
Thinking of this, Chen Shuihong understood. He suddenly understood. After confirming the terrifying reality that he was the only one left at the scene, he screamed. Yes, there is no need to explain. As an executor, like others, he I also listened to Zhao Ping's narration, and then learned what the disappearance of the crowd meant and what it represented. It turned out that he was attacked by a locust, and he was unprepared and pulled into the illusion by the legendary and extremely terrifying human-headed locust. Space, pull into a place where it is said that as long as you enter, you will never want to leave!
