"ah!!!"
"Ooohhhhhhhhhh!"
Da da da da da!
So, just like that, in order to avoid being quartered alive under the fierce pursuit of the female locust, Peng Hu went crazy and Chen Shuihong went crazy. Their brains went blank in their madness and they forgot everything in their fear, just like two miserable animals being chased by wild cats. She ran wildly like a rat, howling with splitting liver and gallbladder, but then again, it was because of her excessive and excessive efforts that the female slug was extremely fast, but the two people who had already been running for their lives barely managed to catch up, and miraculously and The female locusts maintained the same speed, and then they ran away to the center of the village together, being chased by the female locusts. Note that they had to run to the center of the village, but they couldn't run there, because their initial positions were They are already on the edge of the village. If they continue to run out, they will leave the village directly. Once they leave the village, what awaits them is to be wiped out by the even worse rule of being quartered by five horses!
With no other choice, the two of them had no choice but to rush to the village. After passing through several alleys, they were still rolling and crawling, gritting their teeth and speeding. Yes, due to excessive fear, excessive fear, and the fact that the female locust was chasing too fast, even if they appeared on the way. After passing several forks, the two of them still didn't dare to stop for half a minute and spread out. After all, everyone knew that turning would affect the speed, and the female turtle always gave priority to pursuing the one closest to her, so naturally, in order to ensure that she would not be caught. The female locust locked up, and the two people, each with their own agenda, had to compete in speed, who could run faster, and who could be caught by the female locust first.
To be honest, if we compare running speed alone, Chen Shuihong is naturally far inferior to Peng Hu. But the bad thing is that Peng Hu is currently in a semi-disabled state. Because he was chased by a female locust for a long time not long ago, the bald man has insufficient physical strength, and his remaining physical strength is not enough. Supporting him to surpass Chen Shuihong, who was generally physically strong, the result was that the speeds of both sides were basically the same. For a moment, neither of them could overtake the other. On the contrary, both of them lost a lot of physical strength as time passed, and they ran slower and slower! Only the female locust still maintained an astonishing high speed. After noticing that the prey's speed had slowed down, her face became more distorted and her expression became more and more excited!
"I found you! I found you! Hahahahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!"
The loud sound means that the distance is getting closer. Combined with the two people's physical strength, gradually, the chasing and fleeing parties, who were still at the same speed earlier, gradually become tilted. In the night, the female locust is getting closer and closer, and they are unknowingly approaching each other. The initial distance of more than ten meters was reduced to less than 5 meters! ! !
5 meters, an extremely dangerous distance, represents the distance of death!
then……
"die!!!"
While laughing wildly, the female locust stretched out her hands, stretched her blood-stained palms forward, and grabbed Peng and Hu, who were running slower and slower due to exhaustion of physical energy...
At the same time, after a desperate run, the two of them arrived in the middle of the village, arriving at the broad grain field that represented the center of the village.
Can……
It was also at this time, just when the wildly extending hands of the female locust were about to touch the target, and they were even 1 meter away from catching the exhausted Peng and Chen, an accident happened.
Da da da da da!
A light appeared in front, and an extremely obvious flashlight beam shone directly. Along with it, there was a figure. A young man was running towards Peng Hu and Chen Shuihong, who were chasing after a flashlight!
No, no, the young man did not rush towards them, but towards the girl. He unexpectedly took the initiative to face the girl in the black skirt without dodging or dodging! ! !
……………
From the moment I appeared in the village, my subconscious told me that there was something fishy about this mission. Even though the mission information was very clear, I still remained vigilant and even suspicious, and my nerves were tense all the time.
The reasons that prompted my doubts can be roughly divided into two points.
First, the overall time limit of the mission is not long, and it only takes one night to complete the mission. According to my previous classification of the time limit for supernatural missions, this is the most standard short-term mission. Since the mission itself is short, it is unlikely that there will be a safe period or During the buffer period, the threat of monsters is destined to hang over the executors from beginning to end. This is what I thought at first, and it actually happened. The blame lies here. It is true that the threat of monsters runs throughout the whole process, but the threat of monsters is also real. It's too big. Logically speaking, the threat shouldn't be so great. The reason is that the curse defines this mission as a game.
Since it is a game, we must first understand that the game itself must be fair. Yes, unlike non-game supernatural missions where monsters are often powerful and crush everything, games need to be fair. Even if the mission is now set to game mode, other The inner core should be based on fairness, and at the very least it should be relatively fair. In this regard, the curse is fair on the surface, and fairness includes many functions such as mission location, area, rules, time, and objects. The game conditions that can be seen at a glance are that the mission is in a remote and empty village. The area is neither big nor small, the rules are impartial, and the time is neither long nor short. Even Qi has deliberately marked it as having no special abilities. It is precisely because Qi has no special abilities. , as a balance, the executor naturally prohibits the use of props. At first glance, the game is indeed very fair. With fairness, the task itself cannot be too difficult, so from the beginning, including me, everyone instinctively insisted on this task. Optimism.
The executor was optimistic. Unexpectedly, this optimism was completely wiped out after I first discovered the black skirt girl. I immediately had doubts in my heart. I was worried that the girl's perception was too poor. At that time, I was clearly hiding in the room. In the water tank, there was only half a meter away from the female oyster passing by at the intersection. Such a close distance, I never thought that the female oyster would not notice it! It just floated past me, and I also escaped the other party's search with a water tank. Afterwards, my evaluation of the female locust was that the perception was extremely poor, and the search method was almost the same as that of humans. It did not possess the supernatural qualities that a locust should have. Sensing ability, if, please note that if, if the female locust has been searching in this way of perception, then this task is destined to be simple. After all, the village is not small, and there are many houses. As long as the executor hides tightly and survives the night More than enough, the logic is certainly true, but the problem is...
Is it that simple?
The answer is no. Based on my understanding of the curse, I don’t think it will issue a simple task that is equivalent to giving points to the executor for no reason. This view was further confirmed soon after I encountered Peng Hu.
Under Peng Hu's guidance and narration, I saw Liu Yaofeng's miserable body and learned about his rather bizarre death. Soon, I figured out the answer and discovered something fishy.
perspective!
As expected, the curse secretly added traps after creating a seemingly fair game, and the thing that represents the trap is precisely the abnormality in the eyes of the female hawk. In other words, the female hawk has a pair of penetrating eyes that can continuously mutate with the passage of time. Time The closer you get to the end of the mission, the wider and wider the female squid's perspective range will become. In the end, it's even possible to see through the entire village! Once that time comes, the players participating in the game will have no way out.
To put it bluntly, it can be understood that in order to deceive the executor, the curse secretly added a cheating device to the female wolf that seriously violates the fairness of the game. With the cheating device, this seemingly fair game is no longer fair, no matter what the executor It is impossible to survive until the end of the game by hiding.
Since he cannot survive until the end of the game, if he wants to live, the executor must find a way out, and find the hidden way out before the female's field of vision increases to an exaggerated level!
When it comes to hiding a way out, the problem then enters the second doubt point, that is, the way out can’t be found.
From the moment I concluded that the game was out of balance, I kept racking my brains to find a way out. Unexpectedly, things were counterproductive. Whether it was analyzing female weeds or searching villages, I could not find any valuable clues related to the way out. In the end, it turned out that Come to an unanswerable conclusion!
Of course, when faced with the conclusion that there is no solution, I definitely don’t believe it. After all, I have always kept in mind the rule of never issuing a fatal mission, so naturally, as soon as I came to the conclusion that there is no solution, I should immediately I changed my way of thinking. I no longer tried to collect clues from the task as I did when dealing with previous tasks. Instead, I paid attention to the nature of the task for the first time. In other words, I began to start from the things that although clearly known to everyone but easily ignored by others. Find a way out in the nature of the mission.
The nature of the mission is a game, and the game is hide-and-seek. Since it is hide-and-seek, then, if we ignore the supernatural mission and just analyze the gameplay of the hide-and-seek game...
I found the answer, and discovered the mission path that was both deeply hidden and clearly visible! ! !
Although this way of survival is just my personal guess, it only exists at the logical level, but time no longer allows me to find evidence to verify it. Time has entered the end of the game, and the female wolf is almost ready to find everyone easily. The terrifying vision cannot be delayed any longer. The survival plan must be implemented immediately. In my eyes, the success rate of this survival plan has reached 70%!
Before executing the plan, I have to let the female locust find me. It is best to let the female locust target me!
As for how to let the female locust find herself quickly?
It's very simple, just leave the safer edge of the village, and just reach the broad grain field in the center of the village!
It's a matter of life or death. If you win the bet, you will complete the mission and return alive, but if you lose the bet...
Then there’s nothing to say!
………
The hide-and-seek game is in progress. The time is 3:40 in the morning.
"Ah! Waaaah!"
"Help, help!"
Da da da da da!
The night wind howled and the atmosphere was gloomy. The long-quiet village farm was broken by a series of screams and shouts. As the screams and shouts came from far to near, I looked closely and saw two people running towards the street. They were both frightened. , both of them howled miserably, and rolled and crawled through the barnyard risking their lives. Even though they were exhausted and sweating profusely, they still ran forcibly in a way that exhausted their physical strength. They only regretted that their parents had lost two legs, which resulted in The source of the two people’s panic was clearly the wolf!
A female locust, a female locust in a black skirt suspended in mid-air! ! !
"I found you! I found you! Hahahahaha!"
At this moment, while maintaining a maniacal laugh, the female hawk was chasing the two people in front of her at an astonishing speed that was twice as fast as the human limit. Under the night, the female hawk's hair was scattered and fluttering in the wind, and her exposed face was so ferocious and twisted. , a pair of pure black eyes with no whites at all, almost half protruding from the eye sockets, currently locked on the two Peng Hu who are in front of them, whose physical energy is exhausted at a rapid rate!
(It’s over, I’m going to die, me, me, he, I’m definitely going to die this time!)
It is said that smart people can recognize the reality clearly, and this statement is true. Because he knew that Nvha had no physical limitations, Peng Hu had a premonition of his own end. Even though he was still running away now, he understood very well in his heart and understood who he was now. He was just struggling to his death. No matter how wildly he ran, the final result would not change. There was still more than an hour before the end of the mission, but at this moment, he was already exhausted and exhausted by the female hoe, and his body was getting weaker and weaker. Shen, the speed is getting slower and slower, but the wild laughter of the female locust can be clearly heard behind him. There is no doubt that, let alone he dare not look back to observe, even if he dares to look back, the one who catches his eyes must be the female locust very close at hand. The figure of death!
(The speed is getting slower and slower, and the female locust is getting closer and closer. How long can I hold on? Or how long will it take for the female locust to catch me?)
(One minute? Half a minute? Or within 10 seconds?)
The above is Peng Hu's personal conjecture during the run. This is what he thought, but the reality is worse than expected, so bad that the distance between the two sides is less than two meters! Because the distance was too close, while laughing wildly, the woman stretched out her hands, stretched her blood-stained pale arms to the extreme, and grabbed the two people in front of her!
"Hahahahaha, die!!!"
"Ah! I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
Maybe he had a premonition of his own end, or he really didn't want to die now. When Peng Hu felt despair while running, and just when the female tiger stretched out her hands as if to catch her, Chen Shuihong, who had been running side by side with Peng Hu, He collapsed, from initial despair to complete collapse, and then let out a series of shrill screams that resounded across the sky. His voice was full of shrillness, his expression was extremely sad, and the fat on his body was shaking like a sequin at the moment he was about to be caught, and he was full of fear. Reach the top!
It's a pity that it's useless, it has no meaning at all. No matter how much Chen Shuihong cries and laments, his ending will not change. He is just a mortal, an ordinary human being like all living beings in the world. In the face of invincible monsters, human beings will always be weak. , always fragile, with no ability to resist at all. This is reality, the most naked and cruel reality of the cursed space!
Death was inevitable and miracles would not happen, so the female hawk easily stretched out her hands and grabbed the two men's necks! ! !
only……
Even though death is doomed, compared to Chen Shuihong who can only cry and wail, Peng Hu will not and cannot wait for death, at least he does not want to be killed by a tiger without any resistance!
so……
(For Male Gobi, even if you die, I will chop you before death!)
Sensing the increasingly obvious coldness on his neck, the bald man's expression changed in an instant, from despair to ferocious ferocity. His face, which was already full of flesh, was filled with madness. At the same time, he touched it with his right hand. Lower your back and hold the handle of the knife!
"Wow! I'll fight with you..."
"Um?"
Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly.
Yes, at the last moment when Peng and Chen were about to be arrested, and Peng Hu roared and tried to fight for his life, the bald man stopped shouting. Instead, his expressions changed dramatically along with Chen Shuihong's. They both locked eyes forward and stared at the opposite side.
The reason for the sudden increase in the expressions of the two people is...
Light, run.
Da da da da da!
A light appeared in front, and an extremely obvious flashlight beam shone directly. Along with it, there was a figure. A young man was running towards Peng Hu and Chen Shuihong who were chasing after the flashlight!
Due to the extremely dazzling light of the flashlight and the young man's fast speed, Rao's eyes widened in shock during the process, but Peng Hu didn't see anything. Like Chen Shuihong, his field of vision was filled with white light. Even so, the two of them still Through the corner of his eye, he witnessed the figure holding a flashlight passing between them, and was immediately caught by the female hawk that followed him, and was caught on the spot! ! !
He was caught.
Yes, after running all the way, the young man successfully arrived at the grain farm in the village, and then he happened to find Peng Hu and the two of them, and he also found the girl in black skirt who was chasing them! But, for some reason, as soon as he found the female locust, He Fei didn't even hesitate for a second. He Fei rushed forward like a lunatic who was not afraid of death without saying a word, and rushed towards Peng Hu and the two of them, knowing that there was a When the ferocious female locust appeared, she took the initiative to seek death and rushed straight to the female locust in the middle! ! !
As for why you turn on the flashlight while running? There were two reasons. First, he wanted to use a bright light to attract the female's attention. Second, he wanted to block Peng Hu's field of vision. No matter what, he couldn't let Peng Hu know that it was him, otherwise the other party would definitely block him.
Then, He Fei succeeded. He not only attracted the attention of the female hawk with bright light, but also successfully blocked Peng Hu's field of vision, prompting him to easily pass by the other party.
Then, the young man succeeded in seeking death, and Nu Qi caught him, and easily caught him when He Fei came to the door on his own initiative.
The result can be imagined...
"Got you!"
As soon as her hands touched He Fei's body, sure enough, the girl smiled, a smile appeared on her pale face, and a ferocious sound came out of the corner of her mouth. She formally sentenced He Fei to death with the words "I found you" and read out this sentence. Any prey that dares to approach them will be punished with death.
only……
In the flash of light and stone, just before Nuyu was about to exert her strength and tear the prey into pieces, He Fei raised the corner of his mouth in front of him, and then said something to Nuyu, which included Nuyu. What no one has thought of:
"Okay, you win. Now that you have found me, according to the rules of the game, it is time for me to be the finder!"
Silence, silence, silence.
As soon as He Fei finished speaking, in front of him, Peng Hu, who had been running suspiciously, stopped moving, and Chen Shuihong stopped moving. The moment they heard clearly that the owner of the voice was He Fei, their collective expressions changed drastically. Both of their bodies trembled, and they immediately seemed to be calm. He stopped running like a body skill and froze in place. After freezing, he instinctively turned around and looked back at He Fei who was being held tightly by the female mango.
(He Fei? Was He Fei the one who just ran past me? Why did he take the initiative to be arrested? And what did he mean by that sentence...)
With shock and suspicion, at this moment, Peng Hu was staring blankly behind him. He and Chen Shuihong, who had similar thoughts, stared at the opposite side in stupefaction like sculptures, looking at He Fei, who was already clutching his body tightly and was about to die.
It is said that he is about to die, but the strange thing is...
It was clear that he was holding the prey in his palm, and He Fei was clearly close at hand, but the female turtle in the black skirt lost her voice and stopped moving. The expected bloody tear did not appear, and He Fei was still standing in front of the female turtle intact. As for the female turtle, The cockroach itself...
As mentioned above, after listening to He Fei's words, Nu Qi froze.
Hooray, hooray.
Under the night wind, the scattered hair fell down one after another, and the tearing hands were completely still. At this moment, Nu Hao and He Fei looked at each other. The two sides were silent for a long time, and then...
An accident happened, an unexpected scene occurred, and then everyone at the scene, including He Fei, saw:
Under the moonlight, the female locust becomes transparent.
From head to toe and even the entire body began to blur, gradually dim, and gradually disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye! ! !
Five seconds later, under He Fei's gaze, under Peng Hu's and Chen Shuihong's eyes that almost protruded from their eye sockets, the female tiger disappeared, completely disappearing without a trace.
Then……
Plop.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
It was as if all the strength in his body had been drained out in an instant. After confirming that the female locust had disappeared, the next moment, He Fei's body was as limp as a puddle of mud and he sat on the ground, panting and looking frightened!
While gasping for breath, he murmured to himself: "Phew, I won, I finally won the bet."
Yes, seeing this, the answer is already obvious, and this is the hidden way out of this hide-and-seek game. The way out is indeed hidden deep, but He Fei got to the point of the problem by changing his thinking, which is the rules of playing hide-and-seek. !
Just as He Fei deliberately analyzed at the beginning, if you peel off the outer layer of the supernatural mission and then simply think about the gameplay of the hide-and-seek game, then it is easy to figure out the way to survive. First of all, everyone knows how to play hide-and-seek in reality. It means that one player is looking for multiple players to hide, and once the hider is found by the seeker, the found hider must take over the seeker's position! ! !
It was precisely because he had thought of this earlier that He Fei dared to take risks. He dared to fight to the death when he could not find any other way to survive. He made a desperate move and even deliberately got caught by the female locust!
As a result, He Fei won the bet. Unexpectedly, this game rule that was applicable in reality also applied in the mission. As expected, the game was over as soon as He Fei surrendered and offered to replace Nu Qi as the finder. , as for why the female locust disappeared? The reason is even simpler, because this mission is in a game mode, and Nvqi itself only has a pure seeker identity, but now He Fei used the rules to take away this identity. Once she loses her identity as a seeker, The female locust will naturally be unable to continue to exist, and the game will naturally come to an end!
Next…
Without waiting for He Fei to turn around and speak, and without waiting for Peng Hu and Chen Shuihong to break away from their sluggish reactions and come to their senses, the next moment, voices appeared in the minds of the three of them, and they each heard a cold voice without any emotion. The voices just emerged without any warning. Mind:
"The mission time limit has not been reached, but the worm has disappeared. In the meantime, all surviving executors are judged to have completed the mission, the hide-and-seek game ends early, and the teleportation function is activated!"
