As mentioned above, the next second the camera arrived at the living room of the villa, the first thing that caught the eye was a statue. It was a human-shaped statue obviously made of stone. The statue was not large in size. It was visually estimated to be two meters tall, but it was What makes people suddenly feel nervous and even uneasy is that although the statue is human-shaped, its appearance is that of a man wearing a cloak and black robe. No, that is not a human being, strictly speaking, it is a skeleton! A strange human-like being wearing a black robe. If you look closely, you will see that the skeleton is wrapped in a black robe. Both its arms, legs, and body and head are all covered by the black robe. Only the face is exposed, and the face is covered with black robes. It looked like a skeleton face that had lost all flesh and blood, and what was even more frightening was that the skeleton was not only wearing a black robe, but also holding a huge scythe as tall as its height in its right hand!
Many times, books and movies and TV shows have a great impact on people. At this moment, looking through the lens and staring at the skull statue, no matter who is in front of the screen, everyone can instinctively think of one thing, a thing that often appears in Western religions and legends. Some kind of existence appears...
(Then, could that black-robed skeleton be...)
Fortunately, imagination is just imagination. In fact, there is no need for anyone to really worry. After all, it is just a statue in front of them, a strange thing made entirely of stone. When the view returns to the screen, the picture has already passed the statue in the living room under the movement of the camera. The second floor of the villa is also the highest floor of the entire villa. I thought there would still be strange things on the second floor, but unfortunately, there was nothing on the second floor. Except for dust on the floor and a few broken boards, the whole The space is empty.
The video is not over yet, and the movement is far from over. After leaving the central villa, the camera officially browses the exterior of the manor. With the help of the relatively bright moonlight, it moves frequently around the manor, rushing to different directions, including He Fei. The view of everyone inside naturally moves with the movement of the camera.
As the camera moves, soon the panoramic view of the manor is revealed...
Due to the large area of the manor, there are multiple gates here, located in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and there is an iron gate for leaving in each direction. It is said that it is possible to leave, but there are no exceptions to the gates. It remains closed, and at the same time, the things here are all kinds of things. If we use the Struggle Villa as a reference, there is a short artificially built tunnel to the south. Through the tunnel, what comes into view is an abandoned truck and weeds everywhere. , in front is the west gate of the manor, and on the right is a wide avenue. Continue along the avenue, and after passing a dilapidated wooden house, finally arrive at the west side of the manor.
Compared to the weed-strewn south side, the west side is obviously more modern. Putting aside the many wooden boxes piled on the edge and the similarly closed west gate of the manor, there are many things that appear to be power generation equipment erected in the middle. Due to the erosion of time, these power generation equipment have long been scrapped. Of course, no one cares about whether they are scrapped or not. What everyone cares about is only the environment of the manor.
After passing another dilapidated wooden house and an empty wasteland, the camera arrived at the north side of the manor. There is no doubt that there is also a closed gate here, and there are several big trees standing in front of the door. If you continue to move, you will naturally arrive at the manor. On the east side, the east side is the smallest area of the entire manor. In addition to the gate next to the villa, if it continues to extend, it will lead to the artificial tunnel leading to the west.
The above is a panoramic view of the interior of the abandoned manor. It feels relatively simple. Except for its larger area, the manor is generally unremarkable. During the observation period, no one found many special things that could attract attention.
No, that's not right. It can't be said that there are no special things at all. If, if someone pays close attention and observes carefully during this period, observing all the general directions of the manor, then some things can still be discovered, some things that are large in number but of unknown significance.
……………
As for what the so-called things with unknown meaning specifically refer to?
To put it bluntly, it can be called a machine.
Yes, machines. Rectangular machines about half a person's height are distributed throughout the manor. Although the specific number cannot be counted due to the darkness of night, it is certain that they are everywhere in the southeast and northwest. No one knows what those machines represent or what they are. Function, anyway, these things do exist in the manor.
At the same time, after the camera completely circled the manor, the picture was frozen and the video ended.
As the video ends, the screen turns black, and then a dozen lines of blood-red text appear on the screen...
Mission name: Death Game.
Mission location: Silent Village/Abandoned Manor.
Mission objectives: This mission is a game mode, including two games. After entering the mission, the executors will be randomly divided into two groups, and then sent to the silent village and the abandoned manor in groups of 6 respectively.

The ultimate goal of the survivor is to escape from the manor, and the ultimate goal of the regulator is to find and kill All survivors.
Tip 1: The manor is initially closed, and there are 10 hand-operated generators with zero power distributed inside. The generators are connected to the manor gate. If you want to open the door and escape from the manor, the survivor needs to turn the rocker next to the machine to The generators are charged. When all 10 generators are fully charged, one of the four manor gates will be opened at random, and the survivors will escape from the manor through the gates.

Mission difficulty: Normal level.

………
The text message stayed on the screen for about 1 minute and disappeared. Then the screen turned black and there was no sound again. The originally dark carriage No. 1 became bright again, but the scene was dead silent and silent.
If you zoom in and take a closer look, at this moment, under the light, you can see that everyone present, including He Fei, is frozen in a collective freeze. Whether they are seniors or newcomers, everyone seems to be under a freezing spell. His eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, and his surprise was beyond words.
Why does the body freeze? Why the surprised expression? That's because everyone was stunned by the content of the mission, or they never dreamed that this was actually a two-in-one mission. It was two missions in which the executors were divided into groups and carried out at the same time. It was only then that everyone finally thought about it. It turns out that the video was divided into two parts at the beginning. It turns out that there is really no relationship between the two videos. The purpose is just to show the areas where the two missions are located.
Of course, he was still frozen, and he was surprised, but the silence did not last long after all, and among them, the senior ones responded the fastest.
Wow.
"What the hell! Two missions? Two games? And they are divided into two groups to play at the same time. This, is this him..."
Sure enough, as soon as he broke free from the sluggishness and suddenly came to his senses, Peng Hu left his seat with a loud noise and stood up. He just looked at the screen and muttered loudly to himself, but at the end he couldn't continue. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but that he really I didn’t know what to say. Among those who had similar reactions were Chen Xiaoyao and Li Tianheng, plus Chen Shuihong. The three of them looked at me and I looked at you. They all looked surprised, because they really didn’t know what to say. Finally, several people turned their gazes forward, looking at the back of the young man in the front row who had been absent-minded since the end of the video.
The vision turned to the front row. Coincidentally, just as a few people turned their eyes to the front row, He Fei had just broken away from the silence. Except for a trace of shock between his eyebrows, the whole body had basically recovered. After recovery, the college student Ben Ben reached out and took out the cigarette, then lit it and started smoking.
"call!"
It wasn't until the cigarette passed his lungs and he exhaled the smoke that He Fei moved slowly. He turned around and smiled bitterly at the people observing him: "It seems that there are more and more tricks for curses. This time, we even did group tasks."
There was bitterness in his words, and his helplessness was obvious in his expression. Seeing that everyone nodded in sympathy, He Fei did not leave any ink and directly talked about the key points: "I think everyone must be as surprised by the weird pattern of this mission as Brother Peng at this moment. In fact, this is nothing. It's just that the curse integrates two tasks into one, and then performs them simultaneously in groups. The biggest difference is that the team members are divided into two waves, and they are performed at the same time without interfering with each other. The so-called of Hide and Seek and Escape to Heaven.”
He is worthy of being the one with the best understanding ability in the team. In just one paragraph, He Fei has simply explained the essence of the mission. After saying that, except for Zhao Ping who remained silent for a long time without responding, Cheng Ying nodded slightly to express his approval, and Peng Hu was also touching. After rubbing his head, he realized something. Looking at others, Chen Xiaoyao, who was still confused just now, also looked at Li Tianheng and agreed, but Kong Ling did not care about the nature of the mission. Instead, after learning that the mission was actually a game, The pupils brighten and the eyes light up, which is really in line with the nature of minors to like games. In other words, as long as they hear the word game, how many minors in the world can resist it? It's a pity that this so-called game is not simple, but a death game where once you fail, you are destined to die again.
Therefore, in order to analyze this mission in depth and observe everyone's reactions, He Fei shifted his gaze to someone, the only executor on the scene who ignored him.
"How is it? What do you think of this game-type mission?" He Fei put out the cigarette in his hand and asked Zhao Ping tentatively.
"Well, I have some opinions, but before I express my opinions, I have something to remind everyone." Zhao Ping adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and replied.
"Oh? What you want to say is..." Faced with He Fei's timely questioning, Zhao Ping didn't react much. He turned around and said to everyone: "In fact, we don't need to pay too much attention to the alternative rules of the mission, which is the grouping Rules, only by temporarily suppressing the panic caused by grouping can we possibly understand the essence of the task."
Zhao Ping reminded everyone with a profound statement. Not to mention, as soon as he said this, apart from He Fei who understood it instantly, many smart people also almost understood the meaning of the man with glasses. The meaning was not complicated. The main reason was that Zhao Ping learned from the crowd. There was a strong sense of panic in the reaction just now, and the root cause of the panic is undoubtedly the scattered and random division of personnel stipulated in the task. Yes, since most of the people present are senior people, the senior people know very well what it means to disperse the team, for example. , if the supernatural mission is compared to a battlefield, then the execution team is naturally equivalent to the army. Similarly, everyone knows that unity is powerful. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the army will generally not divide its troops. After all, division of troops means the dispersion of strength, and Once the power is dispersed, the threat to everyone will double and increase.
To put it bluntly, it can be understood that the reason why everyone can persevere until now is inseparable from the members' teamwork and mutual cooperation. Because of this, senior people themselves are afraid of grouping, especially groups that cannot be contacted again once they are dispersed are the most terrifying. , and this was also the main reason why Peng Hu and others panicked at first.
However, if you can recognize that reality cannot be changed, change your thinking, and truly consider the content of the task, you will discover many unusual and even interesting things.
Keywords: adjust mentality, change perspective.
Zhao Ping's reminder was understood by everyone, so as soon as they understood the mystery, except for He Fei who was the first to change without being reminded, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao, Li Tianheng, including Chen Shuihong, several people Nodding, even the newcomers who had been confused all vaguely figured it out. It's also worth mentioning that maybe because his thoughts were similar to He Fei's, Tang Meng had basically no panic reaction since reading the mission information. Overall, Tang Meng had no panic reaction. The state is very calm, almost the same as that of He Fei. As for being ethereal...
The girl, on the other hand, was never afraid from the beginning to the end. As just described, she had already focused entirely on the game.
"Okay, I understand what Senior Zhao means. However, if we only focus on the task itself, um, that is, if we only analyze the content of the game, I will only play one of them, hide and seek." As my mentality adjusted, I thought about it. Chen Xiaoyao was very direct. He immediately spread his hands and told the truth. In fact, he was not the only one who only knew how to play hide-and-seek. How could others be the same? Sure enough, with Chen Xiaoyao taking the lead, Peng Hu followed closely and shouted: "Yes, yes, I can only play hide and seek. After all, everyone has played hide and seek when they were young, but this time I was cursed. It’s just changed to a mission, and as for the game called Escape to Heaven…then, what is that?”
At this point, the bald man looked back, and Chen Shuihong hurriedly looked at the opportunity to express his concern: "Yes, yes, maybe I am too old and can't keep up with the times. Anyway, I have never done anything like that since I was a child." Ascension, let alone playing it, I don’t even understand the rules of the game.”
Chen Xiaoyao, who has been nesting in the mountains all year round, said he didn't understand. Peng Hu and Chen Shuihong, two people over 30 years old, also said they didn't understand. The others were almost confused, but...
Just when most people said they only understood one of the two major games, and at the same moment when He Fei frowned slightly as if reminiscing, Cheng Ying discovered something. She discovered that a certain young man had been bowing his head in deep thought after asking about Zhao Ping's reminder. , the expression kept changing during the meditation, and finally evolved directly into enlightenment!
"Li Tianheng, your expression..."
"Ah! I remembered, I know what Escape to Heaven is!" It was too late to say it, but before Cheng Ying could finish speaking, the next moment, Li Tianheng, who had been thinking about the game after being reminded by Zhao Ping, He suddenly raised his head and blurted out. Due to his sudden behavior and loud voice, everyone was startled. They hurriedly turned back to look at the young man, wanting to hear what Li Tianheng understood?
"Eh? You surnamed Li, do you know the second game? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly!" Upon hearing that Li Tianheng claimed to understand, in addition to everyone else being curious, Kong Ling was even more impatient and urged him bluntly.
As for what Li Tianheng understood?
The answer is simple. In other words, the key to the glitchy young man's quick understanding is that he had not been doing his job for a period of time. Yes, unlike He Fei who was serious and focused during school, and unlike others who often only care about reality, Li Tianheng was mixed up in society. During that time, he was addicted to games, and the games referred to here are naturally online games. Since he loves to play games, he must have played a lot of games, including a very interesting game. A game that is still very impressive to this day.
"Well, how should I put it? I was addicted to online games for a while back then, and I played quite a few games. One of them was very similar to Escape from the Curse. I can't remember the name of the game at the moment, but The content of the game is not much different from Escape to Heaven, the specific gameplay is like this..."
Since he had already begun to focus on the game under Zhao Ping's reminder, Li Tianheng, who was only nervous earlier, was awakened. As his thoughts shifted to focus, gradually, the young man thought of something, and found similarities from the mission information he had just witnessed. There was a sense of familiarity. Since he was familiar with it, he naturally had no need to conceal it and immediately began to explain everything.
"...The content and specific rules of the game are almost like this. To put it bluntly, it is to charge the machines manually. If all the machines are not fully charged, the players will not be able to open the exit. It is worth noting that the players must stay next to the machines during charging. , and every time this is the time when players are most in danger, everyone understands the reason."
After listening to Li Tianheng's explanation of the game that was more detailed than the mission rules, everyone understood. In addition to He Fei and Zhao Ping who already understood the toughness, Peng Hu and others who were still confused at first also almost understood the gameplay. However, due to their in-depth understanding of the gameplay, as Li Tianheng finished explaining, everyone subconsciously took a breath of cold air and sighed at the same time:
What a vicious way to play!
Yes, it is already obvious. The root cause that can make the executors gasp is the gameplay they just learned. Although it is just a game, the problem is that the curse has suddenly changed the game into a supernatural mission, and the executors also Also forced by the curse, he became a game player who needed to participate in person, and now he started playing games with Qi! As a result, you can imagine what will be waiting for you once you are caught by the mango? After all, supernatural missions are different from computer games. There is no such thing as loading and restarting!
As I understood the content of the game and figured out the mission rules, the atmosphere gradually changed. The atmosphere in the carriage that was originally full of curiosity was gradually replaced by a chill, causing everyone to have a more or less rough mentality. Witnessing the changes in everyone's expressions, He Fei secretly sighed that something was wrong and was about to say something to comfort him. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ping spoke before him. He glanced at the crowd and talked eloquently: "By the way, there are a few more points that need to be added. First, the two videos just now The overall significance is of little significance. At most, it just revealed the mission location, and Qi did not show up during the whole process. Although the information has clearly stated that Qi has no special abilities, I still want to advise everyone not to believe it gullibly, otherwise..."
Zhao Ping did not continue what he said, but even if he didn't say it, everyone knew what the man meant. After a brief pause, the man with glasses continued: "As for the second point, this is another mission where props are banned. .”
There is no reason, no reason. The moment he heard 'Props prohibited', the executor, who was already looking ugly, turned even pale! Almost everyone seemed to be recalling some unbearable past event, and their stress increased sharply, and their fear became more and more obvious.
This scene was seen by Zhao Ping, and also by He Fei, and then...
(Damn! I know it’s impossible for everyone to ignore this, but you insist on mentioning it again. You must have done it on purpose!)
As mentioned above, seeing everyone's expressions change and fear surge under the bespectacled man's 'kind-hearted' reminder, He Fei cursed in his heart. He Fei couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly glanced at the time on his watch and stood up and changed the topic. : "Attention everyone, the time to get off the bus is coming soon, but before that I have something to tell you, especially you newbies, you should keep in mind, that is, no matter what situation you face, staying calm will always have advantages and no disadvantages. In addition, the overall mission this time is not complicated, and the way to survive is also directly on the table. We only need to follow the rules of the game. As for how to do it specifically, I don’t think I need to say more about this. Alright?"
"Okay, the train is about to stop, everyone is ready to get off."
