He was taking a risk. He didn't hide even though he knew that the nymphs had evolved into a large number of bats and were scattered everywhere. Instead, he quickly rushed to the edge of the Western District with Li Tianheng, who didn't know if he was still breathing or beating, and was frightened all the way. Chen Shuihong was indeed frightened when he met Qi, but fortunately nothing happened during the period. Finally, after passing the last corner of the corridor, he arrived at the end and saw the curator's office, which represented hope!
Not only that, maybe it was a coincidence or other reasons. When Chen Shuihong ran closer and closer, the door happened to open. As the door opened, a tired-looking Tang Meng staggered out.
"Ah! Miss Tang, hurry up, save him, Brother Li is dying!"
Not to mention how Chen Shuihong was currently shouting urgently with the wounded on his back. At the same time, when Chen Shuihong was in a hurry, the screen switched to the first floor below.
The second day of the supernatural mission, the time was 3:20 in the morning.
There was a dull silence in the dark room. Unfortunately, the darkness did not last long, and the silence also did not last long. Soon, as a finger pressed the flashlight switch, a beam of light pierced the darkness, and along with it, there was a sentence full of panic and suspicion. question:
"You, this is what you are doing?"
Richard never dreamed that the bespectacled man surnamed Zhao would turn on the flashlight without warning. Seeing this, he looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. The security captain's face suddenly changed and he quickly asked: "Aren't you afraid of being exposed?" ?”
Facing the question, Zhao Ping maintained a calm expression on the opposite side. He did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned his flashlight and looked around until he confirmed that the room was completely empty. He adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and casually gave an explanation that he did not know whether it was true or not: " Bats are nocturnal animals with severely degraded vision. They are basically blind. Their method of finding prey has always been sound wave detection, and they cannot see light sources."
(asshole!)
"You know what you said, you don't need to popularize biological knowledge to me!" Seeing the bespectacled man talking slowly and logically, Richard was furious, and immediately frowned and refuted: "But the problem is that it is not ordinary Bats, but female weevils. Oh my god, there are hundreds of bats! They are flying everywhere in the castle right now. I don’t want to listen to nonsense now. I just want to escape and leave this demonized place as soon as possible. The castle occupied by the hawks!"
It's already obvious. If nothing else, just from the conversation between the two, you can tell at a glance that they are avoiding and staying in a relatively hidden room for a long time, which is why the two of them haven't been out for a long time. The real female locust, the purple-haired female locust, who in Richard's eyes was not much different from the glacial locust. If the other party was not a glacial locust, how did Jim die? How did Thomas die? And how did nymphs evolve into hundreds of bats? Don’t forget that all of the above actually happened and was even witnessed by Richard himself.
That's a demon locust, a hell locust that's a hundred times scarier than a ghost!
As a result, Richard understood and completely woke up. Even though he was not an executor with a deep understanding of supernatural phenomena, he still realized it through several personal experiences in succession. He understood that the castle had become a restricted area of life. If he did not want to be like Jim If someone dies without a whole body, then he must escape from the castle and leave this death castle occupied by demon locusts!
That's what he thought, but the reality is... He can't escape, he can't leave, let alone continue to build ladders to escape from the castle. At present, he doesn't even dare to leave the room because the female moth has turned into a bat. , more than a hundred bats representing female cockroaches are flying wildly in the castle. What does this mean? This means that he cannot go out. Once discovered by a bat, the consequences can be imagined. Because he knew this, since he witnessed the female mantle transforming into a large number of bats through the crack in the door, Richard kept thinking about it in the following hours. He stayed in the room and never went out. He never left the room from beginning to end. He just hid in there and was terrified until...
Until 10 minutes ago, he heard movement, accompanied by the sound of footsteps outside the door. Soon, the door was pushed open, and then a man walked in. It was no one else, it was the man who had attacked him not long ago. glasses man!
……………
As expected of a former Marine with extremely quick reactions, when he saw that the person coming was the man with glasses who had attacked him a few hours ago, Richard quickly drew his gun and pointed the gun at the man with glasses. However, Richard What was surprising was that when faced with the deadly muzzle of a black hole, the man with glasses was not afraid or panicked. Instead, he responded calmly without changing his expression. At the same time, he said something to start the meeting that left Richard confused and inexplicable:
"If you still want to leave the castle alive, I advise you to put your gun away."
"Oh, by the way, my true identity, Zhao Ping, is an exorcist."
After the introduction of identity that was enough to make others salivate but only left Richard confused, in the following time, the man with glasses... no, it should be Zhao Ping who started to explain. Through Zhao Ping's narration, Richard Only then did I know that this group of Orientals were indeed employed by the government, but they were not from a serious security company like Richard and the others, but a group of Oriental exorcists who were said to have special means and were best at dealing with spirits. , the reason why I was hired by the government to come to the castle is because there have been rumors that Chris Castle is also the museum. At first, when the castle belonged to the museum, the government didn't care, but when I thought about it, the castle would be taken over by the government soon. Later, the government thought of it and decided to invite a group of exorcists with real skills to the castle to eliminate hidden dangers. So Zhao Ping and his group of exorcists were invited, together with Richard and his group of security guards who were simply responsible for the security of the castle's collections. When they entered the castle together, their so-called security status was just a pre-prepared excuse to prevent panic. In fact, their real job was to remove spirits.
The work went well at the beginning. After arriving at the castle, everyone first browsed the castle as planned, searching for any abnormality. The abnormality was indeed quickly discovered during their search, that is, there were indeed oysters in the castle, and there were two hidden oysters. ! There was a male hawk and a female hawk, but I didn't expect that the two hawks would become so violently metamorphosed! Perhaps sensing that the exorcist was about to be disadvantageous, the two beetles struck first and began to massacre in the castle. This was the main reason why Richard and his group of security guards died tragically one after another. Similarly, in order to deal with Two members of the Exorcist team also died, and several others were seriously injured and their lives were in danger.
After listening to Zhao Ping's seemingly logical explanation, Richard basically believed most of it. Yes, he couldn't help but not believe it, because he had seen the worm with his own eyes! Richard has seen them all, whether they are mummy hoppers during the day or purple-haired female hoppers at night. He even witnessed the female hopper sucking Jim and Jim into powder at close range. It is conceivable that even the hoppers are real, and the castle appears. The Exorcist can be considered reasonable.
Of course, even if Richard basically believed Zhao Ping's identity as an exorcist, Richard still raised two questions in the subsequent time. First, why did Zhao Ping kill him? Even if you guys from the East are exorcists and come to the castle to get rid of ghosts, Richard is not a ghost. If not, then what's the point of the other party sneaking up on you? Secondly, since you are professional exorcists, why can't you fight against me? Why did the situation evolve into this? Why did all the humans in the castle, including the exorcists, suffer heavy casualties! ?
Facing Richard's in-depth questioning, Zhao Ping remained calm and explained in a leisurely tone. However, the reason was something Richard couldn't understand. The reason was the soul imprint. Yes, Zhao Ping discovered that the female locust was appearing. At the beginning, a part of his soul was imprinted on Richard's body, which was a kind of back-up plan. In other words, if the female mango was eliminated, the female mango could be resurrected with the mark engraved on Richard's body, and this was his The reason why Richard was killed was just to eliminate hidden dangers, but it doesn't matter, it's not necessary now, because the female demon is too powerful, so powerful that she is completely invincible. No exorcist can be the opponent of the female demon. , and this also explains Richard's second question, that is, why can't the exorcist deal with the Castle Lady? The reason was just mentioned. It wasn't that they didn't want to deal with it, but that the female beetle was far more powerful than expected. So for now, no matter who it was, including the exorcist, everyone had only one target left. That is to save your life and hide as much as possible to avoid being found and killed by the powerful female locust.
As for escaping the castle?
You don't have to think about it anymore, the lady has already sealed off the entire castle. Even if you build the ladder, the ending will still be bounced back to where it was.
Faced with a standard plot character like Richard, Zhao Ping, who has always been very eloquent, decisively chose to lie. He took advantage of Richard's complete blankness on supernatural issues and made up random lies. He made up a half-truth as a cause-and-effect explanation. Not to mention, under Zhao Ping's reasonable-sounding explanation, Richard finally chose to believe it, then put down his guard and started to think about it, and then took back the pistol, but...
It is true that the misunderstanding between the two parties has been resolved, and Richard basically believed Zhao Ping's various explanations. Unfortunately, when Richard later mentioned the issue of how to escape, Zhao Ping remained silent and shook his head slightly, obviously helpless that he had no countermeasures. appearance.
After that, the two parties hid in the room in silence until 10 minutes passed quietly, until the time entered 3:20 in the morning.
Next, through the extremely unclear dark environment, the next moment after looking at the time on his watch, Zhao Ping suddenly moved and took out his flashlight to observe the room without warning, which led to the conversation between the two.
"...But the problem is that they are not ordinary bats, but transformed from female hoppers. Oh my god, there are hundreds of bats! They are flying around in the castle right now. I don't want to listen to nonsense now, I just want to escape. Go and leave this castle occupied by mongooses as soon as possible!"
At this moment, listening to Richard's frightened and impatient response, and looking at the other party's expression of fear that had turned pale for a long time, Zhao Ping, as if something suddenly occurred to him, suddenly thought of something, and for some reason, Zhao Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. A strange light that is difficult to detect.
No one knew that the man with glasses wanted to show off his strange look, but in reality Zhao Ping still responded immediately. In fact, as soon as Richard finished speaking, Zhao Ping sighed and echoed: "Not only do you want to escape from the castle, Why don’t my companions and I want to leave here as soon as possible? But..."
"There's nothing we can do, the locusts are too powerful. Although the mummy locust that appeared during the day has never appeared since the night, it's a pity that the purple-haired female locust alone is enough to kill us all."
"No way? You say there is no way?"
Seeing the bespectacled man shaking his head and sighing, as expected, Richard, who was already deep in fear, immediately became anxious. He turned around in panic and retorted in astonishment: "How can there be nothing we can do? Aren't you professional exorcists? If you don't have certain means, , the government won’t hire you, well, let’s take a step back, even if you can’t do anything with the female locusts, you should still have a way to protect yourself, right? You don’t need to hold on for too long, as long as you can survive tonight, because Morning is the time to routinely report the situation in the castle to the government. If we don’t receive a call in the morning, the government will definitely send someone to the castle to check, and we will be rescued by then!”
In order to increase hope for the other party as much as possible, so that these exorcists can help him survive, Richard hurriedly explained the truth, and even the reporting process that had been kept secret was revealed directly. Yes, just as Richard said just now , because there are so many collections in the castle, the security guard has to report the situation to the government at a fixed time every day. Once he does not call, it is equivalent to the government knowing that the signal is out of order, and will definitely send someone Come and check it out, it will be equivalent to receiving outside rescue.
"Oh? You said it won't take long for the outside world to come to the rescue?" After listening to the man's explanation of the facts, Zhao Ping asked, and Richard nodded affirmatively and reiterated: "Yes, unless the people in the government are collectively sick. Certificate of forgetfulness, otherwise I’m sure the government will send someone to the castle before long, at least noon.”
(It's a pity, I think the government will 100% suffer from amnesia.)
The above is the answer that Zhao Ping instinctively came up with after listening to Richard's explanation. There is no doubt that he understands the curse. Not only does he know how to calculate the curse, but he also understands the omnipotence of the curse! In other words, any task constructed by a curse must be perfectly controlled by the curse. In any case, there will be no situation beyond the setting of the curse. Just like the task at hand, the curse stipulates that the executor must stay in the castle for three days. Oh my god, then there will be no way for the executor to escape from the castle within three days, and the outside world will not interfere with the castle. What does this mean? Very simply, it means that Richard is doomed to be disappointed. Even if the contact rules between the security and the government are set in advance, under the influence of the omnipotent curse, the government will inevitably forget the matter and the castle, at least in terms of the mission. During the three days, the outside world will not be able to influence the castle. Not only will the government forget the castle, it is estimated that the entire world will forget this medieval castle named Kris.
So naturally, after listening to Richard's hopeful answer, Zhao Ping did not show an excited expression immediately. Instead, he still maintained a complex expression on his eyebrows. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that through the conversation just now, he has already After understanding the other party's purpose and figuring out Richard's overall intention and plan, the intention is very simple, that is, Richard does not want to die. He hopes to persevere as much as possible before outside rescue arrives. As for how to persevere? The answer must be to rely on the exorcists, that is, to rely on Zhao Ping and this group of executors who have certain means to save their lives. No matter what, they must last longer.
In fact, it's not surprising that Richard had this idea. After all, Zhao Ping had told him his identity as an exorcist in advance. Even if he couldn't defeat the female slug, if it was just about saving his life, the exorcist would be far stronger than him, who was not interested in supernatural beings. Ordinary people don't understand, but as long as the man with glasses tries his best to persevere, it won't take long for the outside world to come to the rescue, and then everyone will have hope of survival to escape from the castle.
Therefore, the complicated expression only lasted for a moment. After a few seconds, Zhao Ping's expression changed. He deliberately showed an excited look even though he knew in his heart that it was impossible to get outside rescue. It was like a prisoner who had been sentenced to death and was going to die sooner or later suddenly found out. He looked excited as if he had a chance to escape. The result was certain. Seeing that the man with glasses had hope, Richard was slightly relieved. To be honest, he was really afraid that this group of exorcists would find that the castle was sealed and they would never be able to escape. Under the circumstances, he gave up hope and even committed suicide in despair. If this was the case, then he would definitely be doomed without the protection of the exorcist. Not to mention holding on until rescue came during the day, he might not even be able to survive tonight.
"It seems there is still some hope. Well, in that case, then I will try and persist. If I am lucky enough, I may be able to persist until the rescue that Mr. Richard said comes."
After saying a hopeful word, Zhao Ping definitely nodded. However, as soon as he finished speaking, before Richard could nod to answer, Zhao Ping made a move and took the initiative to walk up to Richard, and then stretched out his right hand towards Richard. The man said: "Whether we can hold on until rescue arrives depends on the cooperation of you and me."
It is often said that acts of kindness will often bring about equal kindness. This statement is true. Seeing the man with glasses taking the initiative to express his attitude, Richard, who had already regarded the man as his savior, did not dare to ask for help. He stretched out his right hand at the same time. Then, the two reached a consensus on cooperation, and their hands held each other tightly.
During the handshake, Richard's eyebrows were solemn, and Zhao Ping was equally solemn, but...
Perhaps it was due to the reflection of the flashlight, or the perspective of the environment, but during the handshake, Zhao Ping's pupils flickered slightly, and there was an indescribable different aura.
"By the way, Mr. Zhao, what should we do next? The female locust has transformed into hundreds of bats and wandered around the castle. Although it seems safe to stay here, she has been feeling flustered for the past few hours. I feel like continuing on like this is not the answer.”
"If there really is a God in the world, then I will definitely go to church and ask him why he did this to me, Falk!"
Out of the soldier's unique intuitive awareness of danger, as soon as the handshake ended, Richard went straight to the topic and asked Zhao Ping again about the crisis at hand. At the end, he cursed God, whom he had no doubts about in the past. In essence, asking God was just As a digression, even if he wants to go to the church, he has to wait until he leaves alive, so the appendix at the end of his words is just the second one. The point is that he wants to get the answer from the exorcist in front of him who is very knowledgeable about supernatural beings, and he wants to know generally about himself. How long can he hide in the room? If it is safe, then he will naturally continue to stay, but if it is not safe...
So, what to do next? How can we stay as far away from danger as possible without even being discovered by the group of bats that represent death?
Richard is worthy of being a soldier who has been on the battlefield. Although he has been deeply in fear and unable to extricate himself, he is not panicked and does not just worry about fear like other security guards. Instead, he maintains calmness and rationality, and always meditates hard to survive. His mental strength is basically not inferior to that of the executor.
Seeing that Richard was not panicked from beginning to end, Zhao Ping was a little surprised. Of course, it was an accident. In reality, he always had to find a way to say it, and he had to say that Zi Chou acted like a fool no matter what, so it was natural. As early as during Richard's questioning, Zhao Ping was already thinking about lies and planned to continue using lies to prevaricate the other party. As expected, as an elite lawyer with a sharp mind, Zhao Ping only pondered for a few seconds before he elaborated: " I have said before that the two locusts hidden in the castle are extremely abnormal, and they belong to two undead spirits from hell, especially the purple-haired female locust. The female locust is so powerful that nothing can harm it. So I think……"
Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly.
Yes, just when the man with glasses was about to repeat his old tricks and try to deal with Richard with half-truths and lies again, he stopped talking and just froze for a moment with a tremble of his body. Except for Zhao Ping, who was stunned. , Richard, who had frowned and listened carefully just now, was also trembling and stunned at the same time. The reason why the two of them were silent was the voice, a series of sad and unwilling roars:
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"
The roar came from far to near, basically penetrating the door and hitting the eardrums without any warning. No, no, not only was there a shrill roar, but also a roar, bursts of explosions and roars that were louder than the roar!
burst! Boom!
At the same time, the scene shifted, and the field of vision extended outwards after passing through the room where Zhao Ping was located, and continued to extend until it passed through the corridor and came to the hall. As far as the eye could see, something had changed on the scene, and a scene was being staged that was so terrifying that it was unbelievable. Horrifying picture to imagine:
Bump, bang, snap, grunt...
"Ah, oops, ow!"
Accompanied by a series of painful wails and crashing sounds, He Fei rolled down, and unexpectedly rolled down the stairs connecting to the second floor in one breath. Although his body was in pain and bruised, he didn't care about it at all. In order to speed up his descent, He did not hesitate to roll down the stairs at the speed of the building, rushing madly to the first floor below, and what was even more terrifying was...
While He Fei was rolling, fire burst out from above and roared. Hot fireballs followed and crashed down, and then roared and exploded frequently behind the young man!
burst! Boom, boom!
