Not to mention that the female locust was searching in a house not far away. With his strong psychological quality, Peng Hu did not take the opportunity to move his position. Instead, he still hid on the roof and waited silently, waiting for the female locust to come out as soon as possible after searching the house. ,Can……
Who would have thought that just as he was hiding on the roof and waiting silently, waiting for the female locust to exit the house because she found nothing, suddenly, a series of screams full of screams echoed out from the house next door! ! !
Note that it is the house next door, not the house that the female tiger entered. Although the two houses are adjacent to each other, it is easy for others to mishear, but please don't forget who Peng Hu is? He is a veteran, a senior executor who has experienced countless near-death encounters. It can be imagined that after experiencing so many life-and-death exercises, not only is his neurological reaction different from before, but his perception is also extremely sharp, even with two seats. The houses bordered each other, but Peng Hu still roughly confirmed the direction of the screams. The direction was not the house where the female locust entered, but the neighboring houses on the street!
In addition to confirming the direction of the scream, at the same time, two more shocking doubts also came to mind.
First, he didn't expect that there was someone in the house opposite, and there was actually an enforcer hiding! The reason why we are sure that the other party is the executor is also very simple. After all, whether it is the initial video preview or the earlier personal exploration, the village is empty, without villagers, it is like an empty village. Since it is an empty village, except for those who can stay in the village currently. Is there anyone else besides the executor?
As expected, long before he came to West Street, the other party had already hid in the house opposite.
The matter is not over yet. If the first doubt is easy to explain and answer, then the second doubt is really difficult to understand...
That is, it is clear that the location of the executor is the neighboring house next door, so how did the female find the other party?
yes? How did you find it? There is a wall between the two houses! With a wall that completely blocked her vision, how did she find the executor hiding next door?
Um? Could it be that the executor accidentally made a noise and was heard by the female?
No, it's impossible. Even if there is a certain chance, it is actually extremely low, so low that it is almost non-existent. First of all, it can be determined that a veteran with extremely strong psychological quality will not make a sound when he knows that there is a locust next door. Even a newcomer is unlikely. After all, the newcomers have been warned by the seniors and are well aware of the horror of the worms. Unless they want to die, no one will be stupid enough to make a sound.
Since the chance of being discovered by the sound is low, how did the female hawk discover the executor?
unless……
Unless the female locust does not just rely on its eyes and ears to find prey as previously thought, but it has some unknown special ability, an unknown ability that is extremely suitable for finding people!
Relying on this unknown ability, she finally found her prey and the executor who was hiding next door and should not have been found! ! !
I guessed wrong, my previous idea was completely wrong!
Ding!
Thinking of this, his heart beat suddenly, cold sweat flowed instantly, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead and slid down his face. At this moment, Peng Hu was afraid. He sensed the fear from the executioner's scream before his death and felt the cold. The intention swept through everyone in an instant, causing his body to tremble as if falling into an ice cave, and then...
The scream disappeared, and the female locust floated out from the house next door, and then returned to the original place, back to the bottom of the house that was only a few meters away from the bald man. In other words, Peng Hu was currently directly above the female locust's head! ! !
Due to the special location and the blind spot of the viewing angle, even though her eyes were see-through, the female moccasin still did not see Peng Hu. Therefore, the bald man saved his life by chance!
……………
"You boarded the train late, so there are some things you don't know."
"Regarding the supernatural tasks, although the curse has clearly divided them into three regular difficulties, tasks of the same level are often different. This means that in addition to the difficulty of the tasks divided by the curse, there are other unknown things hidden in them. Difference makes a difference.”
"In this regard, He Fei analyzed this for everyone and divided the supernatural mission into three stages based on time, namely short-term supernatural mission, mid-term supernatural mission and long-term supernatural mission."
"Let's not talk about the mid-term and long-term for now. Since this mission only lasts for one night, first of all, we can confirm that the hide-and-seek game we are currently executing is obviously a short-term mission. Since it is a short-term mission, the characteristics of a short-term mission are very obvious..."
"Due to the overall short time limit of the mission, once such a short-term mission starts, the executor will immediately fall into a dangerous state, and the worms in the task will also attack the executor immediately, without stopping during the period, and there will be no During the buffer period, either the executor will find a way out and return and leave, or he will eventually be killed by the monster. This is both reality and recognized by everyone. There is another point worth mentioning, that is, in order to seal all mission loopholes, Sometimes the worm will change over time, with various fatal changes that are detrimental to the executor or even increase the threat."
In the dark and oppressive private house, shrouded in darkness, Zhao Ping was talking expressionlessly, talking to Chen Shuihong in detail in an unhurried manner. Chen Shuihong was sitting opposite, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became. His round, fat face looked like this. As the man with glasses continued to change his expression, his face turned blue and white, and his expression was wonderful.
Yes, under Chen Shuihong's extremely intense questioning, and also in order to convince himself as much as possible, Zhao Ping, who has never been in the habit of talking too much, rarely explained the causes and consequences. As a lawyer, he is very eloquent and explains the issues in an orderly manner. Then he gradually got to the point of the problem, explaining that he did not dare to conclude that this mission could not survive until the end of time by hiding.
"Change? What change?" Zhao Ping suddenly stopped mid-sentence. Sure enough, Chen Shuihong, who had been listening attentively, suddenly couldn't sit still. The fat man leaned forward and asked, and the cause of his anxiety was precisely the ending of the spectacled man. Mentioned changes in worms!
Obviously, unlike the ignorant newcomers, because he already had certain task experience, coupled with his shrewd mind and good at reasoning, through Zhao Ping's narration, Chen Shuihong gradually figured out the meaning and smelled the dangerous atmosphere from the other party's explanation. Since there is danger, and the danger also threatens the executor, it is natural that in order to save his own life, he must understand the reason and get the answer no matter what.
As for the answer…
Ignoring the middle-aged fat man's nervous questioning, Zhao Ping adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He paused for a moment and continued to explain. He said it was an explanation. However, the man with glasses did not talk about the key points as expected. Instead, he changed the subject and spoke directly. He talked about Duan He’s past experience that was unparalleled in this mission:
"I remember that a long time ago, the team performed a supernatural mission called 'Night Shift Security'. At that time, you had not boarded the bus, let alone you. Even Chen Xiaoyao had not boarded the bus. Of course, this is not the point. The point is That mission left a deep impression on me and everyone else. No, it was not so much about the mission as it was about the worm in the mission. The worm had a strange ability and could actually attack the executor through its shadow. What’s even more frightening is that even if the executor finally discovers the weakness of his attack, he will still be able to gradually increase his power and gradually eliminate the weakness as time goes by, which means that the closer time is to the end of the mission, the more powerful and unsolvable he will be!”
Yes, having said that, the answer has been revealed. This is also the main reason why Zhao Ping frowned after listening to Chen Shuihong's narration and even subconsciously judged that this hide and seek was difficult to complete. The logic is easy to explain, and the logic is exactly where it comes from. Because of his extremely rich mission experience!
As a smart person who knows how to draw inferences from one instance, Zhao Ping has the ability to integrate many details and then summarize and discover the key points of the problem. Through Chen Shuihong's personal experience of being chased by a female loct, he found that the female loc was weak and had limited initial abilities. Indeed, as the information introduces, she does not have special abilities. To put it bluntly, she does not have the ability to perceive. In other words, the black-dressed female locust currently wandering around the village is not much different from humans in some aspects. Yes, the female is not. Although the locust plays the role of a seeker in this game, and although it chases people very fast and fiercely, the female locust has to rely on the five external senses such as the eyes and ears to find prey just like humans. If not, how could the female locust ignore it in the first place? Lose yourself and Chen Shuihong? After all, the distance between the two parties at that time was extremely close. He and Chen Shuihong were hiding inside the wall of a private house, while Nvqi was walking outside the wall. There was only a wall between the two sides. If Nvqi really had the ability to sense, then the other party would not be able to ignore the two and continue to charge, but They were spotted instantly.
It was also based on this evidence that as soon as he listened to the fat man's story, Zhao Ping decided that the girl in the black skirt had no sense. Even if she had some special abilities that humans did not have, at least the girl in the black skirt was very serious in finding people. Relying on the five external senses such as the eyes, and once the search method is similar to that of humans, then the hide-and-seek mission will be simple. Just as Chen Shuihong felt at the beginning, anyway, the female locust relies on its eyes to find people, so this hide-and-seek mission will be simple. Is the game still difficult? After all, the village is not small. As long as the executor who plays the role of hiding the players can hide more tightly, it will be difficult for the female locusts to find them. It can be basically said that there is no big problem if they persist until the end of the game!
This is true. Chen Shuihong himself understood it the same way at first. Unexpectedly, what surprised Fatty was that such a logical principle that anyone could easily understand, after Zhao Ping analyzed it, he suddenly came to the conclusion. came to the opposite conclusion, and finally directly insisted that it would be difficult for the executor to survive the seemingly short 5 hours by hiding!
reason?
The reason is very simple. The reason comes from the fact that the man with glasses paid extra attention to the time. He discovered that when Chen Shuihong was chased by Qi, it was at the early stage of the mission. The specific time was not even 1 a.m.. Imagine that in a short game with a time limit of 5 hours, In the mission, and the mission area is still a large village, if the worm can only rely on eyes to find it like humans do from beginning to end, is there any suspense in this mission? Or is it possible for Curse to release such a simple supernatural mission that is even equivalent to giving points?
The answer is obviously impossible. Since it is impossible, then...
Why does the curse do this? Why release a hide-and-seek game that the hider can easily win no matter how you look at it?
It's simple, there's something fishy in it! 100% contains traps!
The key to Zhao Ping's discovery of the trap came from his reference to past experience. With his rich experience, he came up with a mission that lasted only one night but almost led to the annihilation of the entire executor army. A mission called "Night Shift Security" 'Supernatural mission!
Zhao Ping knew the specific process because he had personally experienced that mission. However, the terrifying characteristic of the black shadow worm that can continuously increase its ability over time still makes people feel fearful. Yes, in fact, the black shadow worm itself is not powerful. , when the executor discovered the weakness of the worm and hid in the lightless area, the black shadow worm was completely unable to do anything to the executor. Even so, who would have thought that as time goes by, gradually, the originally impossible The shadow worm that attacks humans in the dark surprisingly eliminates this weakness, and in the end develops into a clone that can surround and suppress everyone at the same time! Let’s not talk about how everyone escaped from danger to complete the mission in the end. This alone is enough to prove that the curse will not give out points. It has never and will not release a mission that can be easily completed. Draw inferences from one example. Now that the woman in the black dress has been confirmed His senses were so poor that no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to find the executors scattered throughout the village within 5 hours. So why did the curse still issue this simple mission? Or is this hide-and-seek really as simple as imagined?
The answer is undoubtedly no!
Since the answer is no, what is it that can really threaten the executor?
time!
Yes, it's the right time. As expected, this mission, which is called a hide-and-seek game, most likely adopts hidden rules similar to 'Night Shift Security Guard'. That is, the tiger is not strong at the beginning and does not pose a threat to the executor at the beginning. Although it is large, it can gradually become stronger with the passage of time, gradually increasing its perception, and in the end it can even develop enough to easily find all the executors!
It was precisely because he thought of this that Zhao Ping finally concluded that it would be difficult for the executor to survive the night simply by hiding! ! !
The above is Zhao Ping's personal analysis. Personal understanding. Although it is just a personal understanding and there is no evidence to prove it, his flawless logical analysis still makes people feel frightened. Chen Shuihong's hair stood on end and his fat face turned pale. !
(Mom! So this is what happened. If the reality is as Zhao Ping said, how can I hide from him? How can I persist in this mission until 5 o'clock in the morning?)
Thinking of this, Chen Shuihong kept his fat face trembling, looked down at his watch, and with the help of the moonlight outside the window, he saw that the time suddenly reached two o'clock in the morning!
"Gudu, it's two o'clock, what should we do? What should we do?" As mentioned above, after learning from the man with glasses that the beetle is likely to increase its perception ability as time goes by, and after checking the watch to confirm the time, The next moment, Chen Shuihong lost his composure and hurriedly swallowed his saliva and asked the other party, asking the man with glasses what to do. He was panicked and frightened, but the strange thing was...
On the opposite side, when he learned the exact time from Chen Shuihong, and knew that the girl's abilities were almost likely to increase at this moment, Zhao Ping did not change in the face of the unfavorable situation. Not only did he not show panic, but he remained as usual as he was talking. At the beginning, his face was expressionless and calm, and he felt as if any threat was not his turn. Chen Shuihong was stunned when he saw this, while Zhao Ping spread his hands and responded calmly: "What should I do? What else can I do? Even if I find the mission trap, I can't find a way out of the mission. Without the goal of survival, we still have to hide and evade. After all, there is still some hope in evading. If we don't hide, then there will be no escape. It’s really certain to die.”.
Faced with the fat man's nervous inquiry, the man with glasses expressed his helplessness on the spot and told the other party clearly in the most direct way that he had not found any other way to deal with it other than avoidance. The result was predictable. After hearing what Zhao Ping said, Chen Shuihong instantly He was paralyzed, and the fat body trembled uncontrollably. At the same time, after giving a cold answer, Zhao Ping moved on the opposite side, and stood up from his seat and walked towards the door under the fat man's gaze.
It was obvious that the bespectacled man was about to leave. After confirming that he had been hiding in a private house for about an hour, he decided to move to another place to hide. The reason for this was also very simple. Since it was clearly known that the female locust would continue to increase its perception ability over time. , then hiding in one place is extremely undesirable. Unless the right way out is found, no one will stay in a certain place for a long time.
Zhao Ping understands this, and so does Chen Shuihong, and this is the main reason why Chen Shuihong didn't ask when Zhao Ping stood up, but...
As he walked, just when he arrived at the door and was about to push it open, the man with glasses paused for a moment, turned back to Chen Shuihong, who was still sitting motionless behind him, and asked:
"How about it? Brother Chen, do you want to come with me?"
A plain reminder, a casual question with simple meaning, yes, seeing that the fat man did not follow, Zhao Ping deliberately asked the other party, asking whether the other party would continue to hide with him, as for Chen Shuihong...
Ever since he learned the truth about the trap from Zhao Ping and knew that the man with glasses had no way to deal with it, the fat man had been paralyzed and dejected. Although he was in this state, the strange thing was that after witnessing the man with glasses getting up and trying to leave, he didn't know why. , the fat man did not start to follow him as expected, but sat there quietly without any reaction, as if he was letting the other person leave, until the man with glasses walked to the door and turned around to ask.
At this moment, seeing Zhao Ping specifically asking if he was with us, the fat man rolled his eyes quickly in the darkness, then raised his head with a dejected expression and replied: "Well, um, I think we should forget it, after all, we can't find a way out of the mission, since If we can’t find a way out, we have no choice but to continue hiding. Since it’s hide and seek, I think it’s better to spread out and hide away than to get together, don’t you think that’s right, Mr. Zhao?”
An unexpected answer, a truly unexpected answer. Unexpectedly, Chen Shuihong, who has always been timid and afraid of death, actually politely rejected Zhao Ping's suggestion to act together!
As for the reason? I don’t know, I don’t know, but what’s even more strange is that in the face of Fatty’s unexpected answer, Zhao Ping remained calm. He neither asked nor forced, but inadvertently narrowed his eyes slightly, and then nodded in response: " Well, yes, that's right, I think what you said makes sense, so, I'll take the first step, Brother Chen, take care."
squeak.
Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta.
After giving a slightly meaningful response, Zhao Ping opened the door and left straight away, his footsteps gradually getting further and further away, and finally disappeared into the darkness in the distance.
As for Chen Shuihong who is still stranded in the Westinghouse...
"call!"
Chen Shuihong's expression changed. The next moment he confirmed that Zhao Ping had left the house and far away from the scene, he took a long breath. At the same time, the bitterness that was still hanging on the fat man's face disappeared and was replaced by a sneer. During the sneer, his lips Li murmured to himself: "Humph, with you? My old Chen hasn't lived enough yet!"
The reason why a smart person is called a human being is that, in addition to having the ability to understand beyond ordinary people, whether he can distinguish the pros and cons and know the trade-offs is also a test standard for judging a person's intelligence. First of all, it is certain that Chen Shuihong is indeed timid and afraid of death. If there is a slight possibility, He didn't want to be left alone, and deep down in his heart, he wished he could be accompanied by senior people. To be honest, if we only talk about ability and experience, except for He Fei, almost no one in the entire team can be better than Zhao Ping. With a veteran of this level accompanying him, his safety factor will undoubtedly increase exponentially, but unfortunately...
Although the man with glasses has extraordinary abilities, the other person is Zhao Ping after all! A rough existence that is not considered safe at least in Chen Shuihong's eyes!
Between being alone and helpless and following Zhao Ping in fear, Chen Shuihong was ultimately forced to choose the former. He had to choose between two options with their own pros and cons, or he would rather be alone and fearful than follow him. Zhao Ping performed the mission.
This is Chen Shuihong, a cunning old man who is shrewd to the extreme, a cunning fat man who can always recognize reality, distinguish pros and cons, and even know how to avoid danger!
The sneer did not last long, and the self-talk did not last too long. As Zhao Ping had already learned that the mission was terrible, as soon as Zhao Ping left, the fat man who was alone again became nervous again. He quickly got up and left his seat and ran away. After opening the back window of the west room, In an instant, he jumped away from the house and disappeared into the alley below. Yes, out of some thoughts, the fat man did not leave through the courtyard door, but jumped out of the window and disappeared at the end of the alley.
At the same time, the gate of the house.
Hooray, hooray.
The cool midnight breeze still swept through the village, blowing everywhere and making the trees rustle, making the already gloomy and depressing village even more gloomy and depressing, even adding a touch of despair.
Looking at the dark environment around him, he scanned the empty streets to the left and right. In the gloomy environment, Zhao Ping did not speak. He just locked in a certain direction and walked silently along the street. He moved carefully and cautiously in a very purposeful way, and then gradually moved away. , until it disappears into the night ahead.
(Chen Shuihong, Chen Shuihong, it seems that my evaluation of you may have increased by one point. Unfortunately, no matter how vigilant and cunning you are, you will inevitably become my communication tool after all.)
