The video ended, abruptly and inexplicably.

The result was certain. As the video came to an abrupt end, the mummy man in front of him who was raising his hand to lock onto everyone also disappeared without a trace, leaving only snowflakes all over the screen and the crisp noise that continued.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

Tick ​​tock, tick tock.

Seeing that the danger disappeared, the crowd in front of the screen, including He Fei, was stunned at first, and then collectively collapsed, as if they had just finished a marathon, everyone slumped in their seats, their faces were pale, and for a while, gasps echoed throughout the car. , cold sweat was flowing, He Fei was like this, Cheng Ying was like this, Zhao Ping was like this, Peng Hu was like this, even Kong Ling, who was never afraid of hawks, had an unusually gloomy expression. Inadvertently, the girl showed a look that she had never seen before. Be solemn and serious!

It is conceivable that even Kong Ling, who has never been afraid of cockroaches, is rarely serious, let alone the others. Xu is still immersed in the fear of death just now and cannot extricate himself. Li Tianheng gasps for breath, and Chen Shuihong, who is sitting next to him, both risks. Breaking into a cold sweat, Tang Meng was almost frightened by the video scene just now, and the overall reaction was that of fear. As for the newcomers, there is no need to mention them. For now, except for the tall girl named Qiao Mengting, the reaction was the same as that of most people. In addition, Xie Xiaona had long been slumped on the ground and shivering. From the moment she witnessed the bloody scene, this big internet celebrity with countless fans in real life was so frightened that her brain went blank and trembled like chaff. Jiang Dafeng did not. He fell down, but his bloodless face betrayed him. As expected, Jiang Dafeng lost half of his life. He was frightened away by the video preview.

As an aside, destiny is sometimes really hard to figure out. After all, who would have thought that Jiang Dafeng, who was enjoying a luxurious life in reality a few days ago, would now become an executive who must struggle to survive in a cursed space? What's even worse is that, just after entering the space, the first thing to be executed is a difficult task that even experienced people rarely encounter! Maybe this is the so-called destiny.

Getting back to the topic, although everyone present was frightened without exception, the screen did not care about the executor's reaction. As expected, after the screen flashed for a while, the snowflakes disappeared, and together with the noise, it became fainter, and then the screen started It darkened, gradually darkened, and finally turned to black. As the screen turned completely black, about ten seconds later, text appeared on the screen, and several lines of blood-red text slowly appeared on the screen, appearing in everyone's field of vision. Among...

The red text gradually disappeared after staying on the screen for about a minute, and then the screen dimmed, returning to darkness and losing sound, and at the same time, the lights in the carriage came on again.

The restoration of the lights restored the carriage environment to its original state. When the darkness was dispelled by the light, everything was as usual. The carriage was still the same carriage, and the scene was still the same scene, as if nothing had happened. Unfortunately...

This so-called nothing happened only exists at the environmental level. If you turn your observation angle to the center of the car, look at the rows of passenger chairs, or simply look at the executioners still sitting on them, then the situation is completely opposite.

There was something subtle about the atmosphere, an unusual subtlety.

At this moment, the huge carriage was enveloped by a subtle aura. Whether they were in the front row, in the middle or even at the end of the back row, all the performers on the scene had different expressions. Some were panicked, some were stunned, and some had expressions on their faces. It's complicated and difficult to describe. Just like this moment, as the video preview officially ended and after reading the mission information, He Fei did not ponder and think secretly like before, but immediately looked back at the others in the back row. He Fei was like this, and the others Most people are like this. Through their eyes, they can see Zhao Pingzheng and Cheng Ying looking at each other. They glanced at each other. Cheng Ying met Peng Hu's gaze and looked again. Peng Hu took advantage of the situation and exchanged glances with Zhao Ping. On the other hand, while Cheng Ying and the three of them were looking at each other inexplicably, Li Tianheng and Chen Shuihong who were sitting in the back were also looking back and forth, frequently making eye contact with Kong Ling Tang Meng who was sitting next to him. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, the whole time. They are all looking at themselves, that is to say, except for a few newbies who are obviously afraid, everyone with some mission experience is all behaving abnormally. Almost all of them are looking around after watching the video preview, with weird expressions.

As for the reason?

The reason is not yet known, but one thing is certain, that is, unlike before, after watching the video preview, there was either collective fear and silence, or the scene was noisy and noisy. This time, confusion and complexity have become the mainstream, so that no one can The thought of the method triggered an unprecedented wave of strange reactions, and the atmosphere was subtle for a moment, so subtle that it couldn't be more subtle, until...

"Huh? This is a bit weird. It's really powerful. It's even powerful to the point of having great powers. But why do I feel like that thing is a bit irregular?"

Touching his smooth and shiny head, Peng Hu took the lead in breaking the silence of the scene with a stunned soliloquy. During the speech, his face full of flesh was also covered with a layer of confusion mixed with fear. There was no need to say more about fear, but he was a bit confused. It has a deep meaning, as for the specific meaning...

"Yes, yes, Brother Peng is right. I feel the same way. That thing is really powerful. It can almost be described as invincible. It's just a bit informal and always feels a bit different." He said it quickly, As soon as Peng Hu finished speaking, Li Tianheng, who was sitting behind him, quickly raised his hands in agreement as if inspired. From this moment on, the topic officially got on the right track under the guidance of the two of them. This is said to be true, and it is even more true in fact. The subsequent impact did attract everyone's attention. As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Cheng Ying also frowned and nodded slightly. First she recognized Peng Hu's feeling, and then she looked up at He Fei as if she had grasped a key point: " Do you see anything?"

Just like in reality, everyone must assume the role they play. When Cheng Ying asked He Fei the question, everyone who had been looking at each other in confusion just now turned to look at the young man as if they had received guidance. This is for sure. As the most recognized wise man in the team, He Fei's opinions are often of sufficient weight and have high reference value. Therefore, it is natural that as soon as Cheng Ying raised the question, almost everyone looked at He Fei, expecting the young man to Tell me about your ugly appearance.

"Um, this..."

Seeing Cheng Ying raising her head to ask, and seeing the crowd looking at him, He Fei was embarrassed and dumb for a moment. He held it in for a long time and didn't say anything about his ugly appearance. The reason was very simple, that is, he didn't dare to jump to conclusions. After all, there were many People have to be responsible for their own words and deeds at this time, especially a team leader like him who leads a team needs extra attention. Often one mistake can lead the whole team to go astray. Because of this, he has never been the captain. Since then, He Fei will not talk nonsense unless the situation is urgent and forced to do so. However, if he is just analyzing the problem or simply expressing his personal opinion, this is not a problem.

so……

Thinking of this, He Fei no longer hesitated. He who had been stunned for a moment also changed his expression instantly, and nodded in response: "Well, it seems that everyone has thought of it together, just as Brother Peng and Li Tianheng just said, After watching the video, I had the same feeling as everyone else, that the man who looked like a mummy... didn't look much like a hawk."

Yes, it was not until He Fei said it himself that the key to everyone's confusion was truly revealed. The thin window paper that had been wrapping everyone was also pierced by He Fei. The reason came precisely from everyone's past experience!

First of all, it is certain that most of the executors who have performed several supernatural missions have some understanding of the ghostly evil spirits such as worms. The so-called worms refer to supernatural beings transformed by the soul. In short, they are spirits. Spirit bodies The way of existence is special, so special that it cannot be explained scientifically until now. Even the executors who have been dealing with worms for a long time cannot explain it at the root. Fortunately, there is no absolute in anything. Although there is no solution at the root level, However, this does not prevent the executor from understanding the nature of the worm. What is the nature of the worm? Its nature is a dangerous existence that can affect or even attack humans. It is an evil spirit with various supernatural abilities. Speaking of which, we have to delve into the supernatural abilities.

Supernatural ability, as the name suggests, is a kind of ability that cannot be explained by science, such as hallucination interference, seeing through walls, flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, etc. These are all supernatural abilities, but then again, although supernatural Ability cannot be explained scientifically, but the executor can use logic to analyze and understand and then rationally analyze the operating mechanism of a certain ability. Take hallucination as an example. The so-called hallucination is actually that the wolf exerts its own energy on human beings, thereby perceiving human beings. To influence, the hallucination logic is like this, and the same is true for other abilities. The biggest difference is just the different operating mechanisms. In my impression, except for physical attacks, whether it has an entity or not, as long as it is a wolf, the attack method is always the same. They are supernatural abilities, and they are all attacks that can be explained at a logical level, but...

This time, there was an exception, the first exception, and the one who represented the exception was undoubtedly the mummy, the mysterious mummy man who killed everyone he saw in the castle!

By observing the entire video preview, the executors, including He Fei, discovered something strange. They discovered that the Mummy Man's attack methods were unheard of and could even be described as horrific. The Mummy Man could actually capture humans from a distance without touching them. , it’s just a matter of catching them, and then they can actually control humans through the air, throwing them into the sky and throwing them to death in a completely non-contact way! There is no logic in the process, and it is very different from the supernatural abilities we have seen before. It is almost equivalent to doing something out of thin air. You think this is the end. No, what is even more shocking is yet to come, killing people and absorbing the souls of the dead. Later, the mummy man actually released a large number of physical black beetles!

The beetle has a physical body, so it can gnaw and bite the corpse. Similarly, the beetle has a physical body and proves in disguise that the mummy man has a physical body. Otherwise, he would not be able to release the beetle in his body. However, the blame lies here. If the mummy man is a beetle, Even if he is a bastard who only possesses a physical body, it stands to reason that there is no need to continue to devour the corpse after absorbing the soul of the deceased, right? Yes, you can advance. There are two ways to advance. One is to increase your resentment by killing living people. When your resentment reaches a certain level, you can complete the advancement and advance to a higher level evil spirit. Another type of worm is to directly absorb the souls of the dead. It can also be advanced after absorbing a certain number, but worms that absorb resentment are more common.

what does that mean?

It’s very simple. It means that weasels are often only interested in killing, and they don’t care about long-dead corpses anyway. The reason why we don’t care is because the corpses are of no value and use to us. This is like eating ice cream alone. They will tear off the wrapping paper and throw it away. They will only throw away useless things and never take care of things that are of no value to them. Therefore, the corpse is useless to the lynx. So far, it has indeed never been eaten by the lynx. In the case of the corpse, to say the least, even if it wanted to devour the corpse, the spiritual locust itself would not be able to do it. After all, the locust is a void existence composed of spiritual energy. Even if some locusts have the ability to condense entities, they still cannot actually do so. It cannot swallow matter, and corpses belong to real matter. This is the same as the nature of trees, flowers and grass. To put it simply, it can be understood that a locust composed of spiritual energy can only absorb the resentment or resentment of the deceased who is also energy. The soul cannot absorb physical matter.

Since locusts can't absorb matter, and there have indeed been no locusts capable of swallowing matter in previous missions, what's going on with the mummy man? The Mummy Man miraculously absorbed corpses made of matter into his body! ? In fact, He Fei's meaning is very simple, that is, the mummy man has abnormal abilities, abnormal behavior, and even the way of existence can be described as abnormal. Combining many abnormalities, He Fei suddenly discovered that the mummy man was a bit strange. It's not like a hawk, at least it's very different from a hawk in the traditional sense. Instead, it's closer to the undead evil spirits summoned by magic in many Western movies! A unique being who doesn't seem to have supernatural abilities but can use weird magic!

The above are the thoughts that the executor instinctively came up with after watching the video preview. An idea that surprised everyone. Unlike He Fei who was enlightened by his understanding of strength, others seemed to have no such ability. Because they couldn't understand it, as soon as the video preview ended, the crowd was at a loss and dumbfounded. They were all confused by the mummy man's actions that were not in line with the characteristics of a wolf. In a daze, Peng Hu racked his brains to come up with ideas. Finally, the word "irregular" is used to describe the mummy man, and this so-called irregularity just means that the mummy man does not look like a lynx. It is different from a lynx in the traditional sense and is completely different from any lynx we have seen before!

"Yes! That's right! Brother, you are right, it is not like Qi, at least it is very different from Qi in previous missions. That's what I think!"

Sure enough, when He Fei pointed out the key point of the problem, Peng Hu, who had been scratching his head, suddenly felt enlightened and nodded in agreement. If Peng Hu was like this, how could other people with similar confusion be the same? As soon as Peng Hu finished speaking, Li Tianheng also patted his head with a look of astonishment on his face. Together with Kong Ling and Tang Meng who were sitting next to him, they had a deep understanding. With understanding, there are guesses, and with guesses, there are opinions. The result is yes. Before Peng Hu could agree with it, the scene started to become noisy. Except for the newcomers who had too little experience to interrupt, the crowd was talking about it. One of them was ethereal and refused to give in. He immediately raised his head and made an assertion: "I have the same opinion. Just like Brother He Fei, the mummy man does not look like a lynx, even if it is a lynx, it is definitely a special lynx!"

"Tch, aren't you talking nonsense? What's the point of repeating what He Fei has already said? Rather than listening to your nonsense, I might as well listen to Sister Tang Meng's personal opinion!"

"Li, I think your scar has healed and you've forgotten the pain. It's only been a few days and you dare to sneer in front of me again? Have you forgotten that you were almost trampled to death by this young lady? What are you trying to say? ?”

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, stop it, stop it quickly! Sister Tang Meng, help me, brother Chen, don't be in a daze, come here and drag this guy away!"

"Okay, okay, Kong Ling, just let him go. Li Tianheng just said it unintentionally."

Just like many times a 'bully' never wants any voice against him to appear nearby. Although what Li Tianheng said is true and the atmosphere at the scene has already become tense, as a strange girl who has never been afraid of cockroaches, Kong Ling doesn't care about the atmosphere at all. The moment he discovered that Li Tianheng had refuted him, he became furious. He used the tricks he had recently learned from Cheng Ying and grabbed Li Tianheng's ears! The result was certain. Since both Cheng Ying and Peng Hu were present, Li Tianheng did not dare to resist even though his ears were being pulled and the pain was unbearable. He just bared his teeth and howled in pain while turning to others to ask for help, heading towards Tang Meng and Chen Shuihong who were nearest. Calling for support, Tang Meng came to the rescue immediately, but Chen Shuihong did not move. Instead, he sat quietly on the guest chair with a dull expression as if he had lost his soul. The reason is not complicated, that is...

The fat man was frightened. He had been frightened to death by the extremely cruel killing methods of the mummy man!

It seems that as he had deliberately described a long time ago, Chen Shuihong never cared about the difficulty of the task or the nature of the monster. He only cared about himself, his own personal safety, and whether the threat from the monster was high or low. As a result, after the video was finished, Preview, this time, Fatty smelled a strong crisis. The aura of death was much richer than any previous mission. Under the pressure of death, Fatty suddenly felt that something was wrong. He felt that this upcoming mission was very dangerous, very dangerous. Be careful and you will lose your life! ! !

Let’s not talk about how the people in the back row are noisy and shouting, nor what Chen Shuihong is thinking. In the front row, as the first person to ask questions, Cheng Ying’s curiosity continues to increase when He Fei talks about the abnormality of the locust. As I have seen many times in the past, whenever curiosity arises, the female killer will always temporarily hide her indifference, and then open her eyes like a curious baby and continue to ask questions. Of course, curiosity also depends on the person, no matter how curious she is. , Cheng Ying would only make this gesture in front of He Fei.

"Since you think the Mummy Man doesn't look much like a wolf, what exactly is a Mummy Man?" With strong curiosity, Cheng Ying kicked the ball in front of He Fei for the second time. As expected, she saw the female killer talking again and again. As for the focus of the question, Peng Hu also hurriedly turned to look at He Fei. Li Tianheng and others who had been arguing noisily in the back row also cast their eyes almost at the same time. Indeed, since the question involves the life and death of everyone present, everyone is naturally nervous. Likewise, , He Fei seems to be the only one who has the ability to analyze the problem at present. His reasoning seems to be correct, but...

This time, He Fei did not answer. He did not ponder for a moment and then express his position like last time. Instead, he changed his direction after a moment of silence and turned his questioning gaze to the right, looking at the silent Zhao Ping.

"What's your opinion?" Looking at Zhao Ping, who had been silent for a long time, He Fei narrowed his eyes slightly and asked tentatively as usual. The purpose was just for reference and to hear the bespectacled man's personal opinion. The result...

Similar to when Cheng Ying asked He Fei just now, when He Fei took advantage of the situation and threw the ball representing the question towards Zhao Ping, for some reason, the man with glasses did not answer. He just raised his head and glanced at He Fei and others, then turned back and focused his eyes. Looking towards the corner behind him, he looked at the person who had been mute since the video preview started playing. The person who used to be very active in talking nonsense was now unusually silent...

Chen Xiaoyao!

Under the guidance of Zhao Ping, everyone, including He Fei, turned their heads and looked at the corner. But it was not a bad thing. Everyone was shocked when they saw Chen Xiaoyao frowning and his face pale. Bai, the corner of his mouth twitched occasionally, as if he had a rare look of fear! Perhaps he was aware of the crowd's gaze and kept the corner of his mouth twitching. After a few seconds, Chen Xiaoyao said two words, a word that only he could understand. It was also a weird title that the executor had never heard before:

"Zombie demon!"
