(Gan! I guessed it right, you are taking revenge on me! Take revenge on me for forcing the trouble on you!)
At this moment, listening to what the man said, He Fei was completely sure of the truth and understood the reason why the man with glasses stood by and did not save himself. But then again, what can you do even if you know the truth? So what if we know the reason? After all, the person who beat you is Cheng Ying, not the guy named Zhao in front of you, so...
After hearing this, He Fei had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Forget it, the beating is over anyway, it's useless to say anything now."
"Huh? By the way, everyone else has gone back, why are you still here?" At this point, He Fei's expression changed slightly and he changed the subject. It was only then that Zhao Ping stopped calming down, then frowned slightly and answered, no, no Instead, he ignored the inquiry and asked a rhetorical question, tentatively asking a question that surprised He Fei: "Remember when you just went out, you looked extremely panicked?"
Yes, the answer to Zhao Ping's deliberate delay came out. The reason that prompted him to wait for He Fei for a long time was precisely because Zhao Ping discovered something unusual. Since he had been flustered in the past few days and got worse, He Fei couldn't help it anymore and planned to check in advance. At the end of the mission, Zhao Ping unexpectedly witnessed and captured the nervous expression as he walked out of the room. Seeing this, the man with glasses noticed something and realized that something was not right.
then……
After listening to Zhao Ping's question, He Fei understood. Not only did he instantly guess the meaning, but he also understood the man's intention.
As usual, conversations between smart people are always short and direct, and one can easily understand each other's meaning with just one look. So naturally, after understanding the meaning of Zhao Ping's words, He Fei didn't talk nonsense. He nodded and responded directly: "Since you are also curious and care about this matter, then let's go and accompany me to Car No. 1."
Half a minute later, carriage No. 1 of the hell train.
Standing in front of the huge dark screen, just like the crowd watching Chen Xiaoyao being beaten not long ago, Zhao Ping looked calm and expressionless, but He Fei, who was standing beside him, changed his expression and frowned. He seemed to be hesitating, as if he was struggling. , the description is indeed like this, but in fact, no matter the hesitation or entanglement, it did not last long. After a few seconds, He Fei finally made up his mind, and immediately faced the screen and said loudly:
"Curse, check the next mission information!"
Bah, bah bah bah.
With the captain's exclusive ring, as expected, as soon as He Fei finished speaking, he saw that the originally dark screen reacted. After a sudden series of harsh noises, it slowly lit up, accompanied by flakes of snowflakes undulating and flickering. After a few seconds, a line of white text appeared. Appearing on the screen, the text itself is actually meaningless. In the final analysis, it is just a means of transmitting information, but...
When many words were combined with each other to form a piece of information that caught the eye, the next moment, in front of the screen, He Fei's expression changed, and Zhao Ping's expression changed. The two of them just saw the words clearly. Their expressions changed drastically, and their faces They were pale, as if they had collectively fallen into an ice cave of some extremely low-temperature abyss. Everyone was frightened, and their livers and gallbladders were split! ! !
At the same time, let’s not talk about the reactions of the two people. At this moment, if you turn your eyes to the screen, you will see a short line of text floating on the screen:
The name of the seventh execution team's next mission is: "The Castle of Solitude", and the difficulty level is: Hard.
……………
Boom, boom.
In the dark world, accompanied by bursts of roar, the train was traveling at high speed, traveling on the predetermined track along the seemingly endless railway track. The world was cold, the train was cold, and He Fei's heart was equally cold.
On the eighth day of the mission break, Car No. 1 of the Hell Train.
I don’t know when there were two more people in the long-empty carriage, two men with extraordinary appearance and temperament.
Looking closely, he saw that one of them was a young man. The young man had a handsome appearance and a sunny appearance. Logically speaking, people in their twenties should have obvious youthfulness, but the youth has rarely lost its youthfulness, and was replaced by perseverance, which is consistent with age. His unmatched fortitude and calmness, and his overall temperament are enough to overwhelm any of his peers. Currently, the young man is standing facing the screen, his whole body motionless for a long time.
The vision shifted, looking past the young man behind him, and what caught his eye was a man with glasses. He was about twenty-seven or eighty years old, with a fair face and regular features. His good-looking face was enough to attract the attention of any woman. He was matched with finely crafted gold. Wearing silk glasses and exuding an air of elegance, he was sitting silently on the guest chair, just like the young man standing in front of him, both of them were silent and collectively silent.
Staring at the huge screen that had long since lost its light and turned black, He Fei froze in front of the screen and remained silent, while Zhao Ping sat in the back and was equally silent. No one knew why the two of them were silent, but if you look carefully, it would be okay. Further details were discovered from the reality close at hand, that is, whether it was He Fei standing frozen or Zhao Ping leaning on the guest chair, both had gloomy faces and frowned, as if they were both trapped by some invisible haze. It's like being enveloped in it and it's hard to extricate yourself.
The silence was maintained for a long time in the mutual silence of both parties. Time passed quietly in the haze of the two people. The overall atmosphere was depressing, as if it was the prelude to a storm.
It is true that real violent storms do not exist, but now a devastating disaster that is a hundred times more violent than the violent storm is about to occur, and what represents the devastating disaster is undoubtedly a supernatural mission, and it is a difficult supernatural mission! ! !
Compared with other creatures, human beings are not only creatures with great memories, but also creatures that are good at summarizing experience. This is the saying that if you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. For difficult-level tasks, except for Except for some of the executors who boarded the train late, all the senior veterans were impressed without exception. Among them, He Fei, Peng Hu, Zhao Ping and Cheng Ying had the most say, because all four of them had experienced difficulties. level mission, so when he arrived at Car No. 1 and saw the clearly announced mission information of the curse, He Fei's expression changed drastically and sweat broke out on his forehead. Zhao Ping's heart was trembling and his face turned pale. He was frightened at the moment he saw the information. Frightened, as if falling into a thousand-year-old ice cave, without exception, the coldness arises. Who is He Fei? Who is Zhao Ping? Both sides are experienced and experienced, and both of them are top-notch experts. But who would have thought that when these two top experts saw the word 'difficulty', their actual reaction would be Fear, timidity, and even increasing panic!
As for the reason?
The reason is still simple, that is because they are not amnesiacs. They experienced a difficult mission a long time ago, a difficult supernatural mission called "The Ring".
It was a horror movie that existed in reality. Unexpectedly, the curse transformed it into a supernatural mission. Since the movie has turned into a mission, the person who can threaten the executor is undoubtedly the famous Sadako Yamamura. The guess is, The same is true in reality. As he stepped out of the car and entered the mission, the executor was instantly in danger and was chased by Yamamura Sadako. The specific strength of Yamamura Sadako was that he was an Earthbound spirit mutant! An invincible evil spirit that is more powerful and perverted than a regular earthbound spirit, and at the same time, it is an invincible existence that can never be eliminated!
It is conceivable that in the face of such a powerful and even powerful female wolf that can make the executor collapse and despair, the mission process is destined to be tragic. In that difficult level mission, the executors were killed frequently, and they were easily killed by the female wolf like ants. Being crushed to death and being unable to resist is just one of them. The more terrifying executor cannot escape. No matter where you run, as long as you are contaminated with Sadako's curse, Sadako will hunt you forever until the target is killed. The same , and it was during the mission that He Fei lost Ye Wei!
Whenever he thinks about this, and no one else talks about it, He Fei always feels heartache, as if he has lost a priceless treasure. At first glance, it seems that the person who caused his pain is Yamamura Sadako, but in the final analysis, the mission level is a difficult task. Super supernatural mission!
In fact, after describing so much, there is only one specific meaning that I want to express, that is, after experiencing a difficult level mission, the difficult level mission has become a long-term shadow covering the hearts of seniors, a lingering psychological shadow, so it is very difficult. Naturally, after a long time, when they saw the word "difficulty" again, and when they learned that the next mission was actually a difficult mission that they had not seen for a long time, the shadows of both He Fei and Zhao Ping were activated again, and then Involuntarily recalling the past, while recalling "Midnight Ring", I subconsciously realized how powerful and terrifying Sadako was. After all, everyone knows that the most important characteristic of difficult tasks is that they are powerful, which is beyond imagination. Although the upcoming task is not "Midnight Ring", "Midnight Bell", although the monster we are about to face is not Sadako Yamamura, the difficulty level of the mission is the same as that of "Midnight Ring". Since the levels are the same, the monster in the mission may be weaker than Sadako Yamamura. ?
The above are the thoughts that He Fei instinctively thought after learning the difficulty level of the next mission. The same is true for He Fei and the same is true for Zhao Ping. In his memory, since he experienced "Midnight Ring", the curse has stopped issuing difficult missions. It can be said that, except for the special mission "Hessian Ghost", which is equally difficult, the team has been cycling between mid-level and ordinary missions since then. It was originally thought that the difficult mission would end before the train arrived at Hell Reincarnation Station. To eliminate it, unexpectedly it backfired. Unexpectedly, one day the curse would issue a difficult task again!
Wait, before the train is about to arrive at the Hell Reincarnation Station, the curse suddenly issues a difficult task. Is it possible...
"It seems like the hell train is about to reach its destination."
Suddenly, the long silence in the carriage was broken by He Fei. In front of him, who was standing frozen, he turned around without warning, and then said something meaningful.
As for Zhao Ping...
As an outstanding wise man who is almost the same as He Fei, sure enough, as soon as the young man finished speaking, the man with glasses nodded and replied calmly after being stunned for half a second: "Well, there is a 90% chance that your guess will become reality. As mentioned The prediction is good, this mission is the last mission before the train arrives at the Hell Reincarnation Station. The real pass has arrived, and the final test has also arrived."
It is already obvious. Although no one added any explanation during the conversation between the two, both parties understood their respective meanings at the same time. Just as He Fei had guessed earlier, through many tasks, He Fei had hit a more appropriate one. For example, he regarded the executor as a game player, and compared the supernatural mission to an obstacle in the way. If the player wants to pass the level, he can only go through hardships under the load of the hell train until he finally breaks through the level and passes the game, and represents the level. The bottom one is undoubtedly the difficulty level mission. He Fei once thought that "Black Forest Ghost" was the final level. Although the mission has a special label, the actual difficulty of the mission is no less than the difficulty level. After completing it, you can get The last golden key, He Fei thought so at first, but unfortunately he guessed wrong, and the curse was far more vicious than he imagined. Even if the three keys are now collected, it will still take some time for the train to arrive. , so, after continuing to experience several ordinary level missions, finally, the real bottom line appeared. If He Fei's analogy is applied again, then the final level will undoubtedly be this upcoming difficult mission!
only……
He nodded and first casually agreed with He Fei. Then, Zhao Ping shook his head inexplicably and said: "Actually, I don't care about whether the train has reached the destination at the moment, but about the upcoming mission."
"Your concerns are the same as mine. Yes, I actually don't care too much about whether the train reaches the destination. After all, the road has to be walked step by step. Compared with the hell reincarnation station we are destined to reach, our current crisis is obviously a mission. I really didn't expect it. One day we will experience a difficult mission for the second time. By the way, what do you have to say about this mission?" Hearing Zhao Ping's emotion-laden focus, He Fei understood deeply, and at the same time, the conversation changed. and tasks.
There is no doubt that if we exclude the extremely difficult work of finding a way out and just talk about problem analysis, Zhao Ping is even more outstanding than He Fei. If not, He Fei would not be able to often use this person as a consultant. Unexpectedly, when He Fei asked himself and adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, Zhao Ping did not hesitate and directly expressed his personal understanding: "Let's not talk about the mission level that has been cursed for a long time. Let's just talk about "The Castle of Loneliness". From the name of the task, it is obvious that the task is related to the castle, which means that 99% of the location where the executor performs the task is inside the castle. As for the castle itself..."
At this point, there was a slight pause. After glancing at He Fei who quietly sat down on the guest chair, Zhao Ping continued: "In the understanding level of most people, castle is not only a historical term, but also a historical term. A kind of war vocabulary, whenever castles are mentioned, people will always subconsciously think of Western castles. It is true that there are castles in the East, but compared to the East, there are undoubtedly more castles in the West and they are more representative."
"you mean……"
Listening to Zhao Ping's talk, beside him, He Fei was thoughtful and instinctively asked, and the result of the inquiry was exactly the same as the guess. Zhao Ping nodded, and Zhao Ping continued: "Since the western castle is more representative, Then I think there is a high chance that the next mission will be carried out in the Western Castle, a huge fortress that focuses on war. If this is the case, the mission area this time can only be described as medium, and there may even be regional restrictions. , at least it won’t allow the executors to run around the world like in the original "Midnight Ring"."
Sometimes words cannot be made clear, even if both parties in the conversation are clear, but once they are made clear, the consequences will always be panic. Seeing the man with glasses speaking so directly, He Fei guessed that the corner of his mouth would twitch in a similar way, and finally managed to His calm face turned pale again. Yes, Zhao Ping understood this. How could He Fei not understand? When faced with a difficult task, the executor would naturally like the task area to be as large as possible. It is best to have no area restrictions. Only in this way can the executor escape. To be honest, no matter how big or small the area of a castle is, it is absolutely fine. As an execution area for ordinary or even intermediate-level tasks, but as an execution area for difficult-level tasks...
(If the mission really has area restrictions, and the area is just a castle, it won’t feel good.)
Thinking of this, He Fei couldn't help but feel worried, and the evidence that can prove the young man's worry is...
Snap.
He reached into his pocket with his right hand and took out a cigarette, then took out one and lit it with fire.
In order to relieve his inner tension, He Fei subconsciously smoked a cigarette and instinctively used cigarettes to relieve stress.
Zhao Ping saw all He Fei's expressions and movements, but he didn't pay attention. He just groaned in the smoke released by He Fei. After a while, as the pressure was relieved with the help of the cigarette, he let out a long breath. He Fei said: "Continue."
Seeing the young man's words, Zhao Ping ended his silence and added: "The analysis about the castle is generally like this. As for the word 'loneliness' placed in front of the castle..."
"Note that from here on, my analysis officially changes to speculation without evidence."
After saying that, Xu had some insights from his previous deep thinking. Even though he knew that he would not be able to guess the correct answer, Zhao Ping still put down the next sentence to remind him and continued to analyze. No, it was not an analysis, but a paragraph that he had just read. Statements of unsubstantiated speculation, just...
Although Zhao Ping stated in advance that it was just speculation, when he actually explained it, He Fei was shocked by what he said!
"I think the word 'loneliness' is most likely connected to the mission path!"
What!
As soon as Zhao Ping said this, He Fei, who had been listening attentively, was suddenly shocked and his eyebrows changed color. He didn't care to continue smoking. The college student suddenly turned his head and saw the other person. Although he didn't speak, Zhao Ping knew what He Fei meant. Therefore, before He Fei could speak, the man with glasses immediately took the initiative to explain: "I wonder if you have noticed that curses rarely use the mission location as the name of a supernatural mission. Even if they do, the name is often an intuitive word with obvious meaning, such as death. , such as death, evil spirits, etc. The above words are easy to understand, and there is almost nothing worth pondering. But what about this time? This time the curse actually deliberately added a lonely word with unknown meaning in front of the castle in an obvious location. Loneliness literally means being alone, and refers to the psychological feeling caused by separation from someone or something else, and this feeling is loneliness.”
At this point, seeing He Fei concentrating again, Zhao Ping undoubtedly elaborated again: "As mentioned above, curses often use easy-to-understand intuitive words to name tasks, but now they suddenly use loneliness with an unclear meaning. Vocabulary, combined with curses, always likes to play tricks and combine the two, so I think the loneliness here should not be loneliness in the literal sense, but a hidden meaning, something that needs to be carefully considered by the executor. As long as we If we can unravel the hidden meaning of the word loneliness, maybe we can connect the mission path to some extent!”
(Damn! Such trivial details can attract your extra attention? You are indeed my best adviser. You have changed. You have become more powerful than before, and you are better at observation and analysis. Perhaps this is an improvement in strength. Bar.)
Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Ping's personal guess stated in advance, He Fei's eyes changed slightly. His gaze towards the man gradually changed from curiosity to admiration. He couldn't help but admire it because Zhao Ping did mention a series of things. He Fei himself has never cared about the tiny details, and the details are exactly the name of the task, something that no executor has cared about for a long time!
Indeed, from the first mission to the present, although He Fei has experienced many missions, he has never paid attention to the mission name. He only cares about the difficulty of the mission, and only cares about solving the puzzle and collecting clues after entering the mission. , the understanding of the task name has always remained at the title level. At most, the location of the task can be known in advance from the name, and the rest has not been studied in detail. I thought that the meaning of the name stopped there, but unexpectedly, Zhao Ping focused on the task name for the first time today. , in fact, it makes sense if you think about it carefully. The word loneliness is too rare and is completely different from the intuitive words commonly used for curses. Once the word is rare and the meaning is unclear, the executor needs to pay more attention. The reason for caring is just as Zhao Ping just explained, Curse likes to play tricks too much, and often hides its way out in unexpected places. Since it is unexpected, then why is the name of the task not a place beyond expectation?
As a result, He Fei regained his confidence!
Not long ago, he was almost intimidated by the difficult level mission. He suddenly woke up like this. In addition to understanding what Zhao Ping meant, he also realized an additional truth, a fact, and something that was enough for He Fei to suppress his fear and regain his confidence. The absolute reality is that...
What if the curse releases another difficulty level mission? So what if the difficult level mission is indeed extremely threatening? Don’t forget that Zhao Ping is no longer the same Zhao Ping, and He Fei is no longer the same He Fei! People are always growing and making progress. After countless near-death encounters, including myself and Zhao Ping, today's team is no longer what it used to be. It is much stronger than it was back then. Even if it is a difficult level, He Fei still firmly believes that he can change and will not allow tragedy to happen again no matter what!
Curse, don’t underestimate me, let alone any executor who can persevere so far. If you still think that difficult tasks can scare us, then my partners and I will use our strength to prove everything and prove that we are no longer what we are today. It has become stronger than before!
