unless……
Zhao Ping is worthy of being a quick-thinking person. Although he had no courage to go out for rescue, he soon thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, a way to save He Fei without having to go out and take risks himself. The way was round cards. It was the life replacement card in his pocket that had just been bound to Richard!
Indeed, since the life form card exchange has successfully bound Richard, and I have the impression that He Fei had shaken hands and had physical contact with Richard when the executor and the security guards first met, so strictly speaking, this round card Not only can he use it, but He Fei can also use it. If the round card falls into He Fei's hands, even if he is killed by the female locust, He Fei will definitely be able to come back to life with the help of the round card, but...
The life replacement card is a one-time consumption prop! Substitution can only be used once! Besides, this prop was originally a trump card he had prepared for himself, and it was his last resort to save his life. If it were used by He Fei, wouldn't it mean...
A complicated expression occupied Zhao Ping's face at that moment. He was hesitant and entangled, and he was undecided. However, surprisingly, after just a few seconds, his originally complicated face suddenly concealed his hesitation, and then he just simply He pushed open the door decisively and expressed his final decision with practical actions. He walked out of the room, and then put the cat's eye flashlight and the life replacement card in front of the corridor door!
The intention of this move is obvious, which is to use the light of the flashlight to attract He Fei's attention, so that He Fei can discover and pick up this important prop that can ensure his resurrection.
This is Zhao Ping, a smart man who can always look at the overall situation and a rational man who will always make the best choice at any time!
Next, the development of the situation was basically the same as imagined, and the result was almost exactly the same, that is...
He Fei is dead.
After losing all his props, weapons and even the means to save his life, he was eventually brutally killed by three female locusts. He died in a miserable state. His limbs were shattered by elemental magic, and he was blown up to pieces. The only thing that exceeded his expectations was...
Even though He Fei died, he unexpectedly killed three female locusts before he died, and they all died together! ! !
Then, or in other words, the next second after He Fei's body was blown apart by magic, Richard, who had been hiding with Zhao Ping in the room across the door, also died.
He died instantly. The man's body suddenly exploded before he could react. He was all in pieces in an instant. He didn't even have time to scream before he died. He just died without any warning. Because the death was too sudden, the death was so sudden. In addition to the extremely painful and twisted expression on Richard's face, there was also obvious confusion and surprise between his brows, as if he didn't believe he would die at all, and there was nothing but confusion.
"...Okay, the above is the fundamental reason why you can come back from the dead. The round card you first found and picked up is the life replacement card, a prop that can bind the life of the card holder to the lives of others. Once the card holder suffers a fatal attack, all damage will be transferred to the bound person. As for Richard, he is just a pawn, a disposable consumable that can be fully utilized."
In the corridor, Zhao Ping was narrating expressionlessly, telling the truth under the gaze of He Fei and Cheng Ying, explaining the causes and consequences in a tone without any emotion, even though Richard's dead eyes happened to be facing him, But the man with glasses was still calm, not feeling guilty at all for his viciousness, and not having even half of the psychological burden that a human being should have.
……………
By exchanging lives for lives, Zhao Ping saved He Fei. However, unlike the exchange of lives as conventionally understood, this exchange of lives has nothing to do with Zhao Ping, because Zhao Ping Richard's life was exchanged for He Fei's life. Saving other people's lives was something only a man with glasses could do, but it was indeed a very cost-effective deal. After all, in his eyes, no matter what, Whether he is a newcomer or a plot character like Richard, it doesn't matter at all. He Fei's survival can be exchanged for this ending. This kind of ending is considered a well-deserved death.
The only pity is that in order to save He Fei, the life replacement card disappeared, thus consuming the life-saving backup plan the man in glasses prepared for himself.
Maintaining the vague expression of dissatisfaction, Zhao Ping told He Fei what happened in general. Of course, he did not say that the life replacement card was originally prepared for himself, but in fact, even if he did not say it, He Fei, who was not an idiot, and Cheng Ying also easily understood the meaning, and understood that the man with glasses had lost all his money, and the life-saving backup plan he had prepared for himself had disappeared. She understood it, but the reaction was different.
After learning that it was indeed Zhao Ping who saved He Fei with props, Cheng Ying looked at Zhao Ping with a hint of gratitude, but she turned a blind eye to Richard's body in front of her and didn't even bother to take a second look. , the overall reaction was basically the same as that of Zhao Ping. It felt as if it was not a life, but an item that could be consumed and used at any time. It was natural. He did not show any expression of mercy from beginning to end. In fact, it was right. As a professional who killed countless people As a killer, Cheng Ying has no regard for life. Even if she does, she will only value the lives of her companions that she recognizes. As for others? If you die, you will die. Even if you die by the thousands, it has nothing to do with you.
As for He Fei...
After hearing the cause and effect, the college students fell into a complex, short and silent absolutely complicated situation.
Staring at Richard's dead expression that had long since solidified in the room, He Fei's mouth twitched and his brows suddenly turned into the Chinese character "Sichuan". Yes, there was no need to explain. He Fei was apologizing and was apologizing to Richard in his heart. In fact, Until now, He Fei has always adhered to the principle of equality of life. In his eyes, everyone is equal, regardless of high or low. Whether they are seniors, newcomers or plot characters, everyone has a life. There is no so-called value distinction between rights. Even though Richard is not the executor, the other party is a living life after all. He is very different from the NPC in the eyes of others. Unexpectedly, he died tragically on the spot in his place. Faced with this He couldn't accept this result, and this was He Fei's philosophy of life. It was an ideology that was completely opposite to Zhao Ping and even Cheng Ying. Different concepts created different thoughts, but no matter how different the ideologies were, He Fei After all, Fei is not that kind of pedantic person, and since the person is dead, it is useless to say anything now, so...
He Fei changed his gaze, and finally looked at Zhao Ping with complex eyes, and said two words in a sincere tone: "Thank you."
"I don't think your thank you is worth much. Instead of wasting time to thank me, you might as well do something meaningful." As expected of a cold-eyed man with ten thousand years of glasses, He Fei thanked him sincerely. I don't know. Whether it was because he felt that his life-saving trump card had disappeared, or because he didn't care about the superficial engineering at all, Zhao Ping remained indifferent, and at the same time he replied with a cold answer that could make anyone angry to death. This is not over yet, let's finish without waiting for He Fei to continue. As he spoke, Zhao Ping adjusted the bridge of his nose and glasses, and added with an expressionless expression as if he suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, I'm not interested in the position of team captain, and I can't shoulder that responsibility, so this You should continue to sit on the captain's throne."
"Ah, it turns out you heard everything..."
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Ping finished speaking, He Fei felt embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment. Fortunately, Zhao Ping did not continue to struggle with this issue. He glanced at the corridor that had been quiet for a long time. The man instinctively looked at his watch. There was something similar. He Fei and Cheng Ying also lowered their heads to check the time, but it was better not to look at it. When they looked at it, they saw that the hour hand pointed to 5 o'clock in the morning, and there was only one hour left before dawn!
Ding!
There is no reason, no reason. When they saw the time on their watches clearly, no matter it was He Fei, Zhao Ping or Cheng Ying, the three people's pupils constricted and their hearts tightened, as if they were trembling in the face of disaster. Maybe someone would see this. I don’t understand, wouldn’t it be better if the time is closer to dawn? After all, the executor now knows that the female locust will only appear at night, which means that once the dawn comes, the purple-haired female locust will disappear, and once the female locust disappears, won't they be safe by then?
The above understanding seems to be correct, but it ignores two fatal problems. First, because of the early analysis of the characteristics of the locust, the executor knows that the castle cannot be truly safe, even if the purple-haired female locust can only appear at night. It disappears after dawn, but please don’t forget that there is more than just an undead purple-haired female in the castle! There is another undead that can appear during the day, a mummy that is not much different from the purple-haired female hawk in strength, and an undead from hell that can also easily destroy them. Once the female hawk disappears, the mummy that has disappeared for a long time will It will undoubtedly reappear and continue the massacre of the living people in the remaining castle.
The logic is certainly shocking, but what about the reality? In fact, what frightens He Fei and the others is not the mummy hawk that has not yet appeared, but the purple-haired female hawk that still exists, the terrifying female hawk that has self-awareness just like humans!
As mentioned above, since the purple-haired lady is conscious and obviously self-aware, why can't the lady not see the problems that the executor can see? As expected, the female locust knew that she could only exist for one night, and because she knew that her time was limited, she deliberately divided herself, so as to find and kill the executors with a numerical advantage. The purpose was to speed up the killing process and try her best to kill the executors. It is possible to kill all the living people in the castle before dawn, but now the time is nearing the end, and there is still one hour before dawn. If this is the case, then...
What will the purple-haired lady do next?
There is only one answer, and that is to speed up the killing speed again and kill all the remaining survivors in an absolutely crazy way!
This is the last hour, and it is also the most dangerous hour!
Another thing that must be mentioned is something that He Fei suddenly remembered while checking the time...
I remember that there seems to be some kind of connection between the female locust split body and the female locust split body, some kind of mysterious connection called vision sharing.
(Oops!)
"Quick, hide quickly!".
As soon as he looked at the time, the next moment, He Fei panicked and didn't care to talk about how to survive the mission. He just screamed in a low voice with his body shaking like an electric shock. He gave orders to Zhao Ping and Cheng Ying, who also realized that the situation was not good, and desperately urged the two of them. People avoid it, it’s a pity...
It was a little late, it was a little late after all, as if fate was always joking with them. At the same second when He Fei realized that the situation was not good and planned to escape, before the three of them could make any move, voices came from the scene, and a series of representatives Familiar sounds of doom:
squeak squeak.
Following the sound, I looked back, and through the flashlight, I saw bats flying out from across the corridor, more than 20 black bats! ! !
It was already obvious that the female locust discovered them, and used the vision sharing between the split bodies to easily find the location of the three of them, and then rushed to gather the numbers to launch a siege before the three people moved, and the only one who knew that the split bodies could share the vision was He. He Fei was just one person. Although He Fei knew this, he was shocked by the inexplicable resurrection at the beginning, so he forgot to remind Zhao Ping and the two of them, and forgot to change their positions immediately after the resurrection.
So, he paid the price for his negligence, an extremely heavy price. What was the price? The price was the large number of bats flying towards him, at least 20 life-threatening bats!
Hooray, hooray.
At this moment, this amazing group of bats flapped their wings and screamed, rushing towards the He Fei trio who were still motionless on the opposite side!
"ah!"
Seeing a large group of bats rushing toward them, they were stunned for just a second. Everyone including He Fei's expressions changed drastically. The moment they discovered the bats, their faces were as white as paper, their livers and gallbladders were split, and they immediately disappeared without anyone's prompting. He screamed and turned around to run away. As a character recognized by the team as being afraid of death, Zhao Ping reacted the fastest and turned around and ran away without saying a word. Cheng Ying quickly grabbed He Fei with quick eyes and hands, and immediately pulled the young man and ran away, and they all ran away as fast as possible. To the hall, it’s not their fault that they are so scared, but they know that the bats represent female locusts. Each bat is a female locust, and what’s even more terrifying is...
There are too many bats, too many!
The number of at least 20 bats is enough to scare anyone out of their wits. Even veterans with extraordinary minds like He Fei cannot handle such a number of horrifying scenes. After all, more than 20 bats are equal to more than 20 female weevils. , and every female locust has the strength of a powerful locust. What does this mean? It's very simple. It means that there are more than 20 Liqi chasing them at the moment. They are chasing them at a speed that is obviously crushing them. They are currently reducing the distance between the two sides in a way that is visible to the naked eye.
but……
The fear was far from that, and what was behind them made the three of them even more desperate and even collapsed.
squeak squeak.
Keeping up the desperate running, when the three of them finally escaped from the corridor and came to the hall, bats flew in front again, and 5 black bats surrounded the approaching black bats in a ring!
"ah!"
"Whoaaah!"
Seeing this scene, He Fei was dumbfounded for a moment. He and Zhao Ping, who was about to rush to the gate to escape from the building, were frightened out of their wits. Shouts full of despair came out of their mouths together. Yes, it was obvious. It's not obvious. In fact, when they saw the five bats rushing towards each other, the two of them, both of whom had top-notch IQs, instantly realized the final result and figured out the key to the problem. What is the key? It's surrounded! The female locust was besieging them, and she deliberately designed a dragnet for them. First, she used a large number of bats to force them to escape to the hall, and then used bats that had been ambushed in advance to surround them, and then completely surrounded them in the castle hall!
What an insidious method, what a despicable plan. In order to kill all the executors before dawn, the woman couldn't wait and made it clear that she wanted to send them to hell. However, or the only thing that surprised people was... …
Faced with the desperate situation of interception in front and pursuers behind, it stands to reason that He Fei should have committed suicide immediately. At the worst, he would have drawn out the dagger and died together like he did earlier, with the mentality of pulling out as many cushions as he could. The reason for starting to risk one's life is this, but the fact is not the case. Not only did He Fei not act excessively, Zhao Ping also did not act violently. Even Cheng Ying, who was about to take He Fei to teleport away, instinctively stopped the plan. Immediately use the light teleportation scroll that only has one chance left, and the reason why the three people did not act excessively is...
Directly in front, the five bats responsible for blocking did not attack.
She did not continue to approach as expected, and did not transform into a female locust to attack. Instead, she hovered in the air with a simple attitude of blocking the road, blocking all the passages leading to other areas. In the end, only the stairs were left, leaving only that There is a circular staircase that leads to the second floor. In addition, the group of bats behind them that were chasing at extremely fast speeds also inexplicably slowed down after the three of them were blocked. They no longer approached at a speed that could crush humans, but at a speed equal to humans. The speed continues to come.
Upon seeing this, except for Cheng Ying who was ready to teleport away at any time, He Fei noticed something strange, Zhao Ping noticed something unusual, and they both smelled a conspiracy.
Yes, a conspiracy is a conspiracy. After all, with the purple-haired female locust's murderous madness, no one with any brains would or could think that the female locust would let them go. Not only would she not let them go, the female locust would even want to use her fastest speed. He killed everyone. If that's the case, why? Why didn't the many bats evolved from the female locust take action immediately when they were clearly surrounded? Instead, they deliberately slowed down using a method that was vaguely like driving away, and at the same time, they also deliberately left a stairway leading to the second floor?
Yes, it was precisely because the anomaly was too obvious that He Fei easily discovered something was wrong, and then he smelled the conspiracy aura like Zhao Ping, who had similar thinking. Unfortunately...
Regardless of whether there is a conspiracy or not, or what the specific conspiracy is, in the face of the absolutely cruel reality, or in front of the group of bats that are about to approach, they have no choice after all, no choice at all!
"Go upstairs!".
As expected, he saw that all other directions were blocked, and the bats behind him were flying closer and closer. He gritted his teeth in desperation, and He Fei took the lead in turning around. After issuing a hasty reminder, he stepped on the only unblocked connection first. Stairs, yes, this is a helpless choice. It is a sad move of knowing that there is a conspiracy trap ahead but having to jump, because He Fei clearly knows that if they don't go upstairs, then only death is waiting for them, and they will definitely be chased. A swarm of bats tore him into pieces. Faced with the dilemma of dying immediately or dying later, He Fei could only bite the bullet and choose to go upstairs, and was forced to choose to die later!
He Fei thought so, and Zhao Ping and Cheng Ying did the same thing. Seeing He Fei taking the lead upstairs, the two of them immediately followed after looking at each other, and rushed into the connecting stairs before the bat chased them. As soon as the person went upstairs, they continued to chirp, and as expected, the huge number of bats continued to pursue them non-stop, following closely in a similar to herding method.
………
The second day of the supernatural mission, time, 5:03 in the morning, 2nd floor of the castle.
squeak.
With a dull sound, the originally closed door opened from the inside. Then, Tang Meng, who looked exhausted, walked out of the room on his back, and Chen Shuihong, who looked pale, carried the wounded back to the corridor.
There is no doubt that the injured refer to Chen Xiaoyao and Li Tianheng. Li Tianheng, who has lost a lot of weight, is carried by Tang Meng, while Chen Xiaoyao, who looks like a dead man, is naturally taken care of by Chen Shuihong. Of course, as the saying goes, every gain must come with a loss, even though two surgeries were performed in succession. Tang Meng was exhausted to the extreme, even to the point of almost fainting, but with the hard work of her and Cheng Ying, the operation was finally successful, Chen Xiaoyao's heartbeat recovered, and even Li Tianheng who was sent later was also in Chen Shuihong. During the free blood donation, Li Tianheng was able to save his breath, but Chen Shuihong was basically scrapped due to too many blood transfusions. If you look closely, you can see that the fat man is now pale, his fat is trembling, and he is not as weak as he was almost. Tang Meng was exhausted.
Fortunately, none of the above is the important point. The important point is that Chen Xiaoyao's life is saved, Li Tianheng is also free from worries, and the reason that prompted Tang Meng and Chen Shuihong to leave the room came precisely from Cheng Ying!
Yes, just half an hour ago, the two of them witnessed Cheng Ying acting abnormally. The female killer suddenly changed her expression without any warning. Then she rushed out of the room without any warning and rushed straight to the first floor below. Both Tang Meng and Chen Shuihong had already sensed that the situation was not good. Even if they didn't know why Cheng Ying was panicking, they could still see the seriousness of the problem from Cheng Ying's fierce behavior. To be honest, , if Li Tianheng had not been out of danger at that time, the two of them would have followed Cheng Ying and rushed downstairs until the blood transfusion was completed and Li Tianheng was confirmed to be basically stable. As expected, the two people who had been panicking for a long time went out immediately without any nonsense and took them with them. He rushed to the first floor with the two wounded people who were still in a deep coma.
"Hurry, Miss Tang, follow me. It's not a good time to stay here for a long time!"
This is said to be true, but it is also true. As soon as he returned to the corridor, Chen Shuihong, who was afraid of being discovered, gathered all his strength and set off first. He just said hello and ran away. How could he still look weak at all? Obviously, in order to join other senior people as soon as possible, Chen Shuihong has ignored everything and just ran. There is no denying that Chen Shuihong's move is correct, and it is also completely in line with the logic of survival. However...
