At the beginning of the game, he had attached a perception-type Taoist talisman to the statue. After finishing it, he left the villa to look for the motor. But strangely, while Chen Xiaoyao was charging, once the talisman was attached, it The Taoist talisman, which is equivalent to a tape, separated from the statue. With the help of the unique perception between the Taoist talisman and the caster, the matter was noticed by Chen Xiaoyao. Chen Xiaoyao himself returned to the villa without stopping. In the end, nothing happened. Nothing happened. The villa was still there. In that villa, the statue was still the same statue, except for the extremely sticky Taoist talisman that fell to the ground.
"...That's pretty much what happened. Since the statue has been erected in the living room of the villa, and I really can't find the reason why the Taoist talisman fell off, I have no choice but to give up."
The above is all Chen Xiaoyao's personal experience. Although the experience is overall uneventful, it is precisely this experience that proves that he has always cared about the statue and is the most wary of the statue among all the executors. In fact, it is not surprising that he cares so much. After all, the black The robe skeleton and the statue are so similar, they are almost identical, and anyone with some brains will always subconsciously connect the two. The connection is certain, but unfortunately, from the beginning to the present, the statue has not disappeared. , has not changed, and has been displayed in the living room of the villa like an ordinary sculpture from beginning to end. Faced with such an unquestionable reality, no matter how vigilant or concerned Chen Xiaoyao is, he can only be forced to admit it and be forced to be the same as other executors. It was finally admitted that the black-robed skeleton was a black-robed skeleton and the skull statue was a skull statue, and there was no relationship between the two.
Since it didn't matter, Chen Xiaoyao gradually became less vigilant and less concerned, and gradually left the villa statue behind. It wasn't until Tang Meng mentioned the matter just now that Chen Xiaoyao recalled the past again and explained the previous experience.
As for Tang Meng...
(Isn’t the black-robed skeleton transformed from the statue? And the statue has been displayed in the living room of the villa until now. If this is the case, then my earliest original conjecture can be ruled out, and then like Chen Xiaoyao, I admit that the statue and the black-robed skeleton are different. There is not much connection between them, they should be independent existences, they are just similar in appearance.)
(Having said that, the similarity in appearance is not a connection?)
(As for the specific contact...)
(Damn it, I can’t think of it, I can’t analyze it!)
Just like throwing a huge stone into a calm lake, after listening to Chen Xiaoyao's past narration, Tang Meng on the other side did not react. She just frowned and remained silent as before. During the silence, the female doctor's brain was functioning and she was working. Continuously, it was running continuously like a motor filled with fuel. Although the thinking content of the brain could not be peeked by others, Cheng Ying still noticed from the more and more beads of sweat on Tang Meng's forehead. The expectation was good. Tang Meng must be analyzing the problem and trying his best to find a way out of the mission that has been hidden by the curse. The only regret is...
Because she is only good at psychological analysis of human beings, it is true that Tang Meng's brain is currently running fast and analyzing, but her face is pale and sweating profusely, as if she is tired, there is no problem, because it is the first time she comes into contact with the problem analysis that she has never dealt with before, The pressure on her, who was only good at psychological analysis, increased, and the sweat on her forehead became more and more intense. In the end, her body trembled and shook slightly!
This is a sign of collapse that is obviously overuse of the brain!
Upon observing this, Cheng Ying was suddenly shocked and was about to intervene to let her rest, but...
Just when she was about to stop Tang Meng from continuing to think, beside her, Chen Xiaoyao, who had been looking left and right, began to mutter to himself, and murmured to himself in a low voice but still clearly in the night:
"Curse of the dog's sun, you Tamar are really a master of planning. You designed this mission so perfectly. You actually hid the way out so deeply. I drew up..."
Cheng Ying did not hear the subsequent series of fragrant breaths, but she did hear the previous sentence, Chen Xiaoyao's emotional soliloquy. However, who would have thought that it was exactly this sentence, this sentence? To Chen Xiaoyao and to anyone else, this sentence sounded like just a soliloquy to vent his anger, but to Cheng Ying's ears, it struck her instantly like a bolt of lightning flashing across the sky, reminding her that just like that, by chance, A window was opened for her, a window of hope that could prompt her to help Tang Meng change her mind! ! !
……………
Time is an invisible material thing that can neither be seen nor touched. Perhaps other creatures do not care much about time or are even unaware of it, but intelligent humans are creatures that pay attention to time, especially those who are currently trapped in the manor. For the executors, time has become the best accomplice of the curse to obliterate them.
The Escape to Ascension game is in progress. The time is 4:02 in the morning, and there are 58 minutes left before the end of the game!
Southwest of the abandoned manor, near the garage.
In the dilapidated and desolate night, Tang Meng frowned and was covered with sweat. She was obviously keeping her brain thinking, reasoning and analyzing under the same silent gaze of Cheng Ying. Even though Tang Meng was not good at analyzing and reasoning things, she still kept thinking frequently. Try, try to find a way out before the end of the game. After all, some things have to be done by someone. This is not only related to Tang Meng's personal life, but also related to the life and death of all teammates in the manor, and time has entered an extremely dangerous final stage. Time is running out, and there is no room for her to be slow and orderly. If she cannot find the hidden way out before 5 o'clock, everyone, including Tang Meng herself, will be wiped out, and the collective will be like an ice cream sunbath. That melts into water.
Under the pressure of the crisis, Tang Meng has tried her best. In order to obtain clues, she even deliberately took risks and hid on the road closest to Qi to secretly observe and collect information. Relying on this extraordinary courage, Tang Meng had a clue. Part of the gains can be found in the behavior and appearance of the black-robed skeletons. The most obvious point is exactly as Cheng Ying initially judged. As the game time continued, the black-robed skeletons changed their strategies. At first, they focused on killing. The black-robed skeleton is no longer simply looking for people to kill in the manor, but has focused on the motor level. By now, it is obvious that the machine power is frequently reduced. The skeleton has basically given up on looking for people, and then plans to use time to kill people. , making it clear that everyone will be obliterated by the rules. As for how to use the rules to eliminate the executors? It's very simple. You just need to take good care of the motor that is the only one connected to the lifeline. You can't let the machine be fully charged no matter what. As long as the time keeps dragging on, it won't take long for the executor to lose when the time reaches 5 o'clock. Dropped the game and was eventually easily obliterated by the rules.
What a vicious cockroach! He actually knows how to kill someone with a borrowed knife! Trying to use the game time that is about to end to destroy all the executors in disguise!
This was Tang Meng's first analysis and judgment after discovering that the black-robed skeleton was interested in the motor. As for another discovery...
She locked the identity of the creature. Through the secret observation just now and Chen Xiaoyao's own narration, Tang Meng had confirmed that the black-robed skeleton was exactly the same as the skeleton statue displayed in the villa, and then further concluded that there must be something between the two. Contact, as long as she can crack that connection, maybe she can find a way out, find the way out that is covered by misguided thinking, a hidden way out that can really allow everyone to escape from the manor!
As for how to crack it?
She couldn't think of it, couldn't find it, it was like there was a wall blocking her. No matter how hard Tang Meng racked her brains, she could never get around the wall or continue her thoughts!
In fact, strictly speaking, this is not to blame Tang Meng, nor is it to blame that her thoughts are blocked and difficult to analyze, but because of her professional expertise. As a professional psychologist, what Tang Meng is good at is only the analysis of human thinking, but not the analysis of the direction of events. The limitations are obvious and the results can be imagined.
Because his thoughts were seriously blocked, Tang Meng, who was already running his brain for forced analysis, gradually broke out in sweat, his face gradually turned pale, and in the end, his body trembled and shook slightly!
Seeing the woman's abnormal state, Cheng Ying, who had been observing her closely, was suddenly shocked. She was about to ask the woman to rest, but at this moment, she found hope and was inspired by Chen Xiaoyao's casual murmur. , and what represents inspiration is...
Under the night, after listening to Chen Xiaoyao's muttering, he was stunned for only a few seconds. The next moment, Cheng Ying moved, walked straight to Tang Meng, and then said something to the other party, which made Tang Meng freeze instantly. Important tips:
"Sister Tang Meng, if you were cursed, how would you design this mission? Where would you arrange your escape? Or...can you analyze the psychology of the curse?"
(Huh?)
It was as if the wall in front of him collapsed in an instant. As Cheng Ying finished speaking, Tang Meng was stunned. After listening to Cheng Ying's prompt, he was stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning, and his mind was shocked. It set off waves of stormy waves!
(If you specifically analyze curses? Analyze the psychology of curses? Could it be that Cheng Ying means...)
Ding!
Tang Meng understood, instantly. As soon as she listened to Cheng Ying's pointed reminder, the female doctor's heart beat wildly and she suddenly woke up, and Cheng Ying's reminder hit the wall like a heavy hammer. In an instant, the thick wall that had blocked his thoughts was smashed. As the obstacle was cleared, Tang Meng's expression changed in the next moment. He broke free from the mental barrier that he had been stuck in earlier, and his thoughts suddenly became clear!
Yes, in fact, the answer is already clear after seeing this, and the reason why Cheng Ying was able to help Tang Meng get rid of the mental barrier was precisely Chen Xiaoyao's seemingly meaningless soliloquy. It is true that it does not mean much in the eyes of others, but Cheng Ying was inspired by the young Taoist priest's self-talk, that is...
Just now, Chen Xiaoyao mentioned the curse, and in a tone full of irritation, he mentioned the fundamental fact that the curse was the one who planned it!
Although Curse is not a human being, Curse exists after all. He is also a layout master who is equivalent to a psychological master in the eyes of the executor, and supernatural missions are always constructed and created by Curse. In this case, then just treat Curse as a person. As a behind-the-scenes planner, let Tang Meng, who is good at psychological analysis, analyze the psychology of curses and try to analyze the problem from the perspective of curses!
The above is Cheng Ying's true intention, and Tang Meng suddenly realized it with the help of Cheng Ying's advice. He suddenly realized that he had been trying to get into trouble and was stuck in a blind corner of his thinking. Yes, since he was not good at being like the captain. If you analyze the situation like that, then you might as well not analyze the situation at all, and go directly to analyze the psychology of the curse, and analyze the layout of the curse! ! !
Sure enough, as Cheng Ying's reminder ended, Tang Meng's thoughts were completely opened up. Without even bothering to express her gratitude to Cheng Ying, Tang Meng was immersed in her thoughts again. It is worth mentioning that because her thinking perspective has changed, this time, Tang Meng no longer analyzes the situation from the perspective of the executor, but officially analyzes the cursed psychology as an excellent psychiatrist!
Cheng Ying's deliberate reminder and Tang Meng's change in expression were all seen by Chen Xiaoyao. As a smart person, why couldn't Chen Xiaoyao understand what Tang Meng could understand? Not only did he understand, he even guessed that Cheng Ying was inspired by him. After thinking about it, Chen Xiaoyao grinned and gave Cheng Ying a thumbs up without hesitation. He was about to open his mouth to praise the other party, but saw Cheng Ying. After reminding Tang Meng, he immediately lowered his head and looked down at his watch.
Perhaps he noticed it from Cheng Ying's rapid movements. Seeing the female killer's face nervously checking the time, Chen Xiaoyao was affected. Chen Xiaoyao also followed the same example and subconsciously lowered his head to check his watch. The result...
The result was that it was okay not to look at it. As soon as they lowered their heads, or in other words, the moment they looked at the watch, both Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao's pupils shrank suddenly, and their expressions changed drastically!
With the help of the moonlight in the sky, as far as the eye can see, the clock hand is already pointing to 4:30 in the morning without even realizing it! ! !
At 4:30, the game is over with half an hour left. What does this mean? This means that the executor only has half an hour left before his death! There is not much time left for them. If they cannot leave the manor within half an hour, everyone will be wiped out as the black-robed skeleton hopes, and then turn into a pool of blood!
(Oops!)
After looking at the time, Cheng Ying's expression changed drastically, and Chen Xiaoyao also turned pale! They were all so frightened by the cruel passage of time that their hairs stood on end and their livers and gallbladders split. Cold sweat suddenly appeared on their foreheads, and then it slid down their faces like rain and dripped to the ground. It is true that both of them are extremely courageous. Seniors who are serious are not even afraid of death. Although the truth is correct, the problem is that this time is different. This time the death crisis is different. What we are facing this time is obliteration, and how painful is obliteration? As a team leader They both know better than anyone else that that kind of death is thousands of times more terrifying than the torture in hell! ! !
Thinking of the upcoming punishment of obliteration, Chen Xiaoyao, who was not afraid of death but did not want to melt into water, suddenly panicked and did not bother to wipe the sweat on his forehead. As soon as he looked at the time, Chen Xiaoyao suddenly raised his head and looked at Cheng Ying, trembling in his mouth. He trembled and said: "Ah, time, there is still time..."
"Shut up! Don't talk!".
Chen Xiaoyao's panic reminder was forcibly interrupted by Cheng Ying, and the reason that prompted her to scold him to keep quiet was Tang Meng, the psychiatrist next to him who was still deeply immersed in his own thoughts!
This is not only the last critical moment, but also the last fight that affects everyone's life and death. She must not be disturbed under any circumstances!
As for Tang Meng...
As if she had already ignored time, at this moment, the female doctor is immersed in her own world, a world of thinking that only exists for her. In this world, Tang Meng is currently searching and analyzing, as if she has never experienced anything before. A focused approach to doing your best!
Because his way of thinking has changed, Tang Meng solved the contradictory issue that blocked his way just now, that is, what is the connection between the black-robed skeleton and the skull statue!
(If I am a curse, then how should I arrange a way out while ensuring that the way out must exist? First of all, I will not completely hide the way out. If it is really completely hidden, then the completely hidden way out cannot be called a way out. Even if there is a way out, even an executor who is not a fairy cannot find it without any clues. Therefore, if I am a curse, I will definitely hide the way out while deliberately leaving some clues, and then hint in some way. To the executor, as for what is the hint of the way out...)
(There is no doubt that the suggestion must be a skull statue, and it can only be a skull statue!)
(The reason is equally simple. After all, the manor itself is extremely dilapidated, and everything inside is ordinary. Except for the 10 generators used to mislead the executioner's thinking and judgment, the manor as a whole is ordinary, and there are few things that attract attention. The only thing that attracts attention is the weird-shaped skull statue. In addition, the shape of the python is exactly the same as the statue. So can I understand that this is a hint? The curse is hinting in the dual way of the statue and the python. The key point of the executor? And the way out is most likely related to the skull statue?)
(Well, due to the lack of evidence, let’s just regard the skull statue as the key point connecting the path to survival. Now that it is priority to determine that the skull statue is related to the path to survival, the next step is to directly lock in the key, which is the meaning of the existence of the skull statue!)
(In addition to suggesting a way out, what is the other meaning of the statue? In other words, why does the curse have to design the statue and even the supervisor who plays the role of the regulator to be similar to the Western God of Death? Curse, you do this? What’s the purpose?)
The analysis went smoothly after the female doctor introduced the curse thought, and the curse intention also gradually became clear in Tang Meng's psychological analysis, becoming increasingly clear, but...
It’s clear, it’s clear, it’s bright, but in many cases people’s knowledge is limited. No matter how good you are in psychological analysis, some of the issues you don’t understand will still become obstacles and stumbling blocks that hinder the progress of your analysis. At times like this , smart people often don't force themselves to think about it, but will immediately find someone to find the answer.
"Cheng Ying, and Chen Xiaoyao, how much do you two know about the Western God of Death?"
Um?
Suddenly, while Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao were spreading out on both sides to observe and alert, Tang Meng, who had been thinking with his head down, suddenly raised his head and asked the two people an incomprehensible question. The problem of death seems to have nothing to do with the way of life.
"Here, I, Sister Tang Meng, don't look at me. I know nine out of ten about Western culture, but I know nothing!" Sure enough, let's not talk about why Tang Meng asked such an unclear question. When he saw the female doctor Looking at himself with a questioning look, Chen Xiaoyao was suddenly embarrassed. He shook his head wildly to express his ignorance. In fact, it was true. Because he had been living in remote mountains all year round, Chen Xiaoyao had become a person who was both familiar with Eastern culture and proficient in it under the careful guidance of his master. The Maoshan Taoist priest in Chinese legend, but his understanding of Western culture is very shallow, so shallow that it is almost equivalent to nothing. If you ask about the King of Yama, Taoist Chen will definitely talk about it with foam at the mouth, and he can tell you from the Ten Palaces of Yama to One He talks about the Five Hundred Judges in a tone of voice, and even the names of the Five Hundred Judges and their past and present lives can be clearly stated! However, at this moment, faced with the question of the God of Death that obviously belonged to Western legends, Taoist Chen was dumbfounded on the spot! .
Fortunately, nothing is absolute. When Chen Xiaoyao shook his head in embarrassment and expressed ignorance, when Tang Meng subconsciously looked at Cheng Ying again, at the international killer who traveled all over the world and even spoke four languages, she got the answer. , just for a moment, Cheng Ying nodded as if she had noticed something and responded: "Well, I have some understanding of Western culture. Regarding the God of Death, I can explain it briefly. Of course, this is only from a Western perspective. Angle will explain it to you.”
"The God of Death, as the name suggests, refers to the god who controls death. He is also one of the gods that has been popular in Europe from ancient times to the present. The God of Death lives in Hades. He looks like a skeleton wearing a black robe and holds a large gun in his hand. to the exaggerated giant scythe. It is said that the scythe has the ability to take away the soul of any human or other life, while the God of Death is completely in charge of the lifespan and death of all living things in the world. This is rumored, but in fact, except for the dead, living people cannot see the God of Death. Yes, the shape and appearance of the God of Death is just a rumor that has been circulated since ancient times. In fact, the appearance of the God of Death is not important. What is important is the essential meaning of the God of Death. If we rule out the rumors and only look at the essence, the God of Death may not necessarily have a body. Because it is a law in itself, a worldly law that represents death, the final death that no one can escape.”
In order to save the world as much as possible, in the face of Tang Meng's sudden question, Cheng Ying kept it short and explained to him in the simplest and clearest way what the God of Death is and the essential definition of the God of Death. In the same way, it was with the help of Cheng Ying's Tang Meng understood this explanation, and now solved the key question that blocked his thoughts, that is...
The meaning of death!
The meaning of Death is death, which is the endless darkness that loses life in the eyes of humans. Darkness represents despair, the despair of no life. Since this is the logic, it can be explained that the curse deliberately designed the sculpture to look like Death. It can also be explained that the shape designed to resemble the God of Death is a metaphor, foreshadowing the dark ending that humans must accept no matter what. Facing the God of Death, unless God comes in person, everyone will die, and the ending for everyone will always be Death, the difference is nothing more than sooner or later.
but!
Just like everything in the world often has two sides, just like the day is always night, the two ends of Tai Chi are always yin and yang. Although the curse uses a death statue to imply that the executor will eventually die, it also uses This allusion reminds the executor, and then provides the executor with a hint of a way out of the manor!
