"Qiao Mengting, time is running out, haven't you seen anything yet?" With unimaginable reluctance, He Fei suddenly spoke and asked the girl in a trembling tone that was almost broken. He still stared at the oil painting until now. The silent Qiao Mengting.
Next…
Hooray.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or she finally discovered some clues. The second after He Fei opened his mouth to ask, Qiao Mengting ended her observation. She no longer focused on the oil painting and looked at it intently. Instead, she looked serious as if she had found a key doubt. She frowned. Locked tightly, he suddenly raised his head and looked at He Fei, frowning at He Fei while saying something, something that shocked He Fei and everyone present:
"Brother He Fei, I have a question to ask you. If you can answer it, maybe, maybe we won't have to die."
What! ?
Because no one expected Qiao Mengting to say such an incredible thing, He Fei was shocked after hearing this. Not only was he shocked, but all the executioners at the scene were also shocked by the girl's remarks. Of course, everyone's reaction The key point is that Qiao Mengting actually said that the problem is connected with the way out of the situation. As long as the problem is answered, the team will gain hope for survival!
"what is the problem?"
Sure enough, seeing that the girl finally discovered something, how could He Fei dare to neglect her? Busy followed closely and asked nervously, while Qiao Mengting was even more simple and direct without any nonsense. Seeing He Fei's nervous expression, the girl pointed at the oil painting, and then talked about the topic in a complicated tone, or pointed out an executor who had never done anything before. Details of oil paintings that I paid attention to:
"Actually, from the first time I saw this oil painting, my subconscious told me that this painting has hidden mysteries. I always felt that there was something hidden in it. And brother He Fei, you have also made it clear that oil paintings are important, and it is precisely because of this. Oil painting is important, so you observed the oil painting several times. During this period, I also accompanied you to carefully look at it, but found nothing. At first, I doubted myself, thinking that my initial feeling should be wrong, until..."
"It wasn't until I observed the oil painting again just now that I finally confirmed that my feeling was right. I guessed it right. The oil painting did hide something. The thing hidden in the oil painting was the way to survive, which is what Brother He Fei you originally talked about. The curse can be eliminated in time, yes, that’s right, the way to eliminate the painful curse is hidden in the oil painting!”
Ding! .
It was like a loud thunder suddenly struck on a sunny day. When Qiao Mengting vowed that the way to eliminate the curse was hidden in the oil painting, except for a few people who were unconscious due to injuries, He Fei's expression changed, and Zhao Ping's expression changed. Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, Tang Meng and Chen Shuihong all changed their expressions after hearing this. The moment everyone heard this, their hearts tightened, and they felt as if they had grasped a life-saving straw. In a flash, before the girl could speak again, , Chen Shuihong was already shaking his fat and hurriedly asked: "Is there hope? Sister Mengting, do you think there is still hope for us to avoid the annihilation of the entire army? Hurry, tell me! Hurry up and tell me the solution!?"
As the most afraid of death in the crowd, Chen Shuihong was instantly excited when he heard that there was still hope. He was so excited that he urged the girl with a face full of joy. In the process, he spoke respectfully and directly used the name "sister", completely forgetting that he had been using the name "sister" not long ago. When the girl calls each other, it can be regarded as being aware of current affairs.
It is true that Chen Shuihong's ability to adapt to the situation is excellent, but unfortunately the girl ignored him at all. She just glanced at the middle-aged fat man with disdain, and then continued to He Fei: "As for the key point of eliminating the curse..."
Snapped.
After saying that, Qiao Mengting moved and pointed at the oil painting again under the gaze of He Fei and everyone else. No, no, compared to just now, this time the girl did not point at the oil painting itself, but further pointed at a certain part of the oil painting. Point to the background behind the couple in the painting, the stark contrast between day and night!
……………
"The background of the oil painting? The day and night at both ends?"
It was like throwing a huge stone into the calm lake water. He Fei's eyes widened under the spray of water, and he instinctively repeated the content of the oil painting in his mouth. The content was undoubtedly the position of the oil painting that Qiao Mengting was referring to, that is, the person behind the couple. The background color is exactly the clear sky that represents the day and the pitch-black curtain that represents the night.
Because he had seen the oil painting many times during this period, not only He Fei but also the executors knew that there were many unusual things about this painting, such as the oil painting being close to the star formation, and the postures and movements of the men and women in the painting. , such as the strange spells on the frame of the portrait, etc., which naturally also includes the day and night as the background, which exists on the left and right of the oil painting at two ends. It exists side by side according to the positions of the men and women in the painting, behind the man on the left It belongs to daytime, and behind the woman on the right is night. One is black and the other is white, which adds a strange color to the already suspicious oil painting.
Of course, He Fei has cared about the background issue. After all, the visual deviation caused by the black and white background is enough to attract anyone's attention. Since he has always cared about it, He Fei has thought about it. If he couldn't think of anything at the beginning, then he will wait for a browse After reading the letter from the necromancer, He Fei understood and understood the hidden meaning of day and night, which indicates the time of the man and woman in the painting. To put it bluntly, it can be understood that the two are separated, and one appears during the day. One appears at night, and the two sides can never meet.
As mentioned above, through analysis and understanding, He Fei thinks so, or that is how he initially saw it. In his opinion, there are indeed hidden meanings during the day and night, but this so-called hidden meaning only tells the executor about things. It’s just the time of its existence, which at most proves the existence of the Curse of Pain. There is nothing else left. At least it has nothing to do with eliminating the curse. No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the way to survive, but...
Who would have thought that just like this oil painting background that He Fei had already judged had nothing to do with the road to life, now Qiao Mengting said that the background was connected to the road to life. In addition to implying time, it also contained a way to eliminate the curse!
This is……
Double secret!
Unexpectedly, a mere oil painting can have two meanings at the same time! .
With his clever mind, He Fei once found and cracked the first level of hidden meanings, but now Qiao Mengting has discovered the second level of hidden meanings, that is, the background hides a way out and a way to eliminate the curse!
The above is He Fei's personal understanding, a straightforward analysis of Qiao Mengting's remarks. Of course, He Fei understands it this way, and others have almost the same idea. In fact, when Qiao Mengting said the background, it is very likely that there is a hidden way to eliminate the curse. After that, everyone instantly understood the key and understood what the girl wanted to express. The only thing they didn't quite understand was...
How did Qiao Mengting discover it?
How did she find the deep hint in the background of the oil painting that even He Fei couldn't find?
This is so strange and amazing. First of all, we must understand who He Fei is and who he is? There is no doubt that He Fei is an out-and-out veteran, and a rare smart person in the world. From the past to the present, no one who is familiar with He Fei is unaware of the young man's abilities, his powerful analysis, and his reasoning. Top-notch, even able to look at problems from multiple perspectives, evidence? No evidence is needed. Just the fact that He Fei can survive till now is the best evidence. It is conceivable that for such a person who is very good at reasoning, it stands to reason that he can deal with any puzzle except unsolvable dead ends. He said he found various hidden clues, but the strange thing was that this time, facing the background of the oil painting, He Fei didn't find it. After racking his brains, he only found the first layer of hidden clues, while the second layer hid more secrets. The hidden dwelling was discovered by Qiao Mengting, and discovered by a newcomer who was performing a supernatural mission for the first time! ?
what happened?
No one can find the answer to what happened specifically. Not to mention that they can't find the answer. Even Qiao Mengting herself can't give a reason. Yu, the reason is obviously not that she is smarter than He Fei. Just kidding, with He Fei's level of reasoning, I dare not say that there is no one who surpasses him in the world, but there are definitely only a handful of them. Even Zhao Ping, who has the same top-notch IQ, is slightly inferior. Not to mention Qiao Mengting, who is still just a newcomer. The key to the girl's ability to find that deep hidden meaning that even Zhao Ping and even He Fei couldn't find is reception, a kind of inexplicable thought reception. If you have to get to the bottom of it, Explaining the reason, the reason is just as Qiao Mengting herself said, subconscious, it is her subconscious that tells her that oil painting is important, unparalleled importance, and then always reminds her to observe and search, so she instinctively cares about oil painting, and then observes oil painting all the time, and cares more. Above He Fei. .
As the saying goes, nothing in the world is difficult, only those who are willing can do it, which means that long-term concentration can always produce better results than temporary concentration. Yes, He Fei is smart and good at reasoning, but the problem is that he needs to do too many things. As a team Captain, He Fei not only has to control the overall situation but also find a way out, and is also responsible for the dispatch and command of team members. All kinds of matters make He Fei a busy man. He is shouldering the responsibility of captain all the time. However, it is precisely because There are too many problems to consider, and He Fei is short on time. Except for the most critical way of finding a way out, he cannot conduct research on a certain problem for a long time. At least in this mission, he cannot do long-term research, which makes him unable to The root cause of long-term research is precisely time. Time is too tight, and the reality does not give He Fei enough time to think. But Qiao Mengting is different, completely different. She is just a newcomer, and she is a reliable person in the eyes of all executors. She is a dispensable existence. Since entering the castle, no one has paid attention to her. Even if there is a problem during the period, everyone has never let her, an inexperienced newcomer, deal with it. Others think so, and He Fei is almost the same. This means that, under the collective neglect of He Fei and other members, Qiao Mengting has become an idler, an idler who does not need to do anything, an idler who is victorious as long as he is alive.
Because of this, Qiao Mengting had time and became the person with the most time in the team in a certain sense. She did not need to worry about everything like He Fei, nor did she need to have her own tasks like other seniors, so she started to care. She studied oil painting and devoted all her time to observing the content of the oil painting. The result was positive. Since she only focused on the oil painting and had enough time, she gradually discovered many clues. First, she realized the surface layer of the background of the oil painting. Hidden meaning, and came to almost the same analysis result as He Fei, that is, day and night represent time, representing the appearance time of mummy hawks and purple-haired female hawks. I thought that the hidden hidden meaning in the background was limited to this, but my subconscious mind Ask her to dig deeper and analyze the background.
Then, with enough time and following the guidance of her subconscious, Qiao Mengting once again carefully observed and analyzed the background of the oil painting. Although there was a danger during the period that caused her and He Fei to be separated, during the subsequent hiding time, Qiao Mengting still thought about the background. .
It is also worth mentioning that because the background of the oil painting was too obscure, although she had enough time, Qiao Mengting was unable to analyze it and could not find the deeper value clue until...
It wasn't until He Fei sent a spiritual link not long ago, and then told everyone that eliminating the curse was the real key to completing the mission, that Qiao Mengting suddenly realized it. She figured it out in an instant as if she was inspired, and understood that day and night, in addition to implying time, At the same time, there is a way to eliminate the curse! In other words, as long as we understand the deeper meaning of day and night, everyone can complete the mission and return smoothly!
As for how to understand? Or how can we analyze the deeper meaning of day and night?
Qiao Mengting couldn't solve this problem, not because she was destined to be unable to solve it, but because she ran out of time. Staring at the increasingly dim red light beam in front of her, she had no time to think about it and analyze it.
So she could only hand over the problem to He Fei, the young captain who was the only one who had any hope of solving the mystery in a short time!
"Brother He Fei, I am 90% sure that the background of the oil painting hides a way to eliminate the curse. Unfortunately, I can't find it. I have thought about it for several hours with no result. My question is..."
"Can you find a way to remove the curse from the background representing day and night?".
At this moment, after listening to Qiao Mengting's question, the crowd fell silent.
Everyone who was still awake, including Zhao Ping, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, Tang Meng and Chen Shuihong, was stunned. They were shocked by Qiao Mengting's vows. They didn't expect that the way to eliminate the curse was hidden in the background of the oil painting. , is actually closely related to day and night. If this is true, then...
As expected, the sluggishness only lasted for a moment. Soon, everyone shook off the shock and frowned, thinking hard, with obvious expressions of understanding. Yes, since they were basically sure that the oil painting background hid a way out of the situation, they didn't want to die. Take the time to search.
As for He Fei...
His face was expressionless, and his body was frozen.
The whole person fell into an indescribable strange state, a state of selflessness that was very similar to Qiao Mengting's earlier.
For smart people, the choice of road is often not difficult. They only need to use their brains to find the right direction. Therefore, with his smart mind, He Fei has found the general direction. His layout strategy has no mistakes. From the beginning to the present During this period, He Fei never missed a move, and he always maintained a stalemate in this life-and-death chess game against the beasts. Unfortunately, it was useless and of little significance. Although He Fei's strategy was correct, the direction he chose was indeed correct. It is connected to the end of the road to life. However, the problem is that this road is not smooth. It is full of thorns and bumps. Not only is it uneven, there is a wall at the end, which means that the end of the road to life exists behind the wall.
In fact, after seeing this, the above meaning is already clear, that is, He Fei's general direction is correct. From the initial scattered crowd collection of clues, to the integration of clues and reasoning analysis, to the final key point of locking the curse, every step has been It was correct, it was a textbook coping strategy. His strategy was not wrong, but he ran into trouble just before he reached the end. Trouble refers to the wall, and the thing that represents the wall that blocks the way is the removal of the curse.
How to remove the curse placed on the monster?
If he doesn't find a way to remove the curse, he won't be able to reach the end. If he can't reach the end, he will die.
Facing the tall wall blocking his way, He Fei was helpless at first. He could neither go around nor climb over. However, who would have thought that just when he was at his wits' end, Qiao Mengting appeared in time to help him, thus giving him a new life. He handed over a pile of wood that represented hope. At this moment, he only had to do one thing, and that was to combine the wood. Combine this pile of seemingly messy wood into a ladder, a ladder that could climb over the wall to the end. ladder!
(The black and white background of the oil painting hides the method to eliminate the curse, or the method to eliminate the curse is related to day and night. If this is the case, then, how should I analyze it or even where should I start?)
(Damn! My mind is so messed up that I can’t find the starting point. How can I continue without a starting point? Time is running out!).
Time passed quietly, and his thoughts were overwhelming. He stared at the red light pillar that had dimmed greatly. Currently, He Fei was thinking desperately, and was racing with the god of death, trying to find a way to eliminate the curse before the light pillar disappeared. To be honest, with He Fei's He has the ability to understand and analyze the hidden clues, but before that, he must find a correct starting point, which is the initial starting point. Without a starting point, he cannot make further deliberations, and what he is looking for at this moment is exactly the starting point, a starting point. The starting point of the reasoning cannot be found because the clues are too complicated, but...
(Um?)
It was like a huge lightning bolt suddenly flashed across the heavy rain. It was so late and so fast. Just when He Fei was troubled by his thoughts and didn't know where to start, he suddenly thought of something. He was immersed in memories for no reason. Then I remembered something from my memories, an earlier past that I still remember until now. In my memory, when I went to the carriage to check the mission information, Zhao Ping, who was also at the scene, specifically mentioned the word "loneliness" .
Lonely!
Yes, it was loneliness. Because the name of this mission was rather weird, Zhao Ping paid a little attention to it at that time. Later, he further speculated that loneliness might be a key point. Seeing that Zhao Ping mentioned it deliberately, He Fei would definitely keep it in mind. If he ignored it, , then it is impossible for him to think of this at this moment. However, who would have thought that it was precisely because of the sudden thought of the word 'loneliness' that He Fei found the starting point of analysis! Not only did I find the direction to start with, but I even further connected "solitude" with day and night!
(Loneliness literally means separation. It generally refers to the separation and farewell between people. It means that the two parties are separated and cannot meet each other. Day and night do separate the mummy hopper and the purple-haired female hopper, so that one of them can only appear during the day, and the other They can only appear at night, so the couple who love each other can never see each other. Since they can't see each other, loneliness reasonably explains the state of both parties. Since the two oysters are equally lonely, what is the way to eliminate loneliness? The method is very simple. , just let both parties meet. This is an answer so simple that even children know it, but the problem is...)
(I can’t meet! There is no way to meet. Due to the painful curse imposed by the devil, whether it is a mummy or a purple-haired female, the two sides are tightly restricted day and night. During the day, the mummy cannot see As for the Purple-haired Lady, the Purple-haired Lady also cannot find the mummy at night, so this is a dead end with no solution, a dead end that no matter how you think about it, there is no way to solve it, at least as a mortal executor. There is no solution in my eyes...Huh? Wait, wait, the sky, the sky outside the window...)
There was no reason, no reason, to keep his brain running at a high speed. At the last moment when He Fei was about to fall into a dead end of thinking again, he kept staring at the light beam and discovered something. Through the distant castle window, he saw the outside world and witnessed Sky.
As far as the eye can see, I can see that the sky that was dim earlier has brightened significantly. The darkness is about to disappear, and daytime is coming! .
Yes, with the help of the unique and powerful defense of the Brilliant Pearl, the Executor has been able to hold on until now. He has persisted for half an hour under the crazy attack of the female locust. As time passes by, the sky that is already approaching daytime naturally becomes a little bit brighter. It gets brighter, a little bit brighter, and the current specific time is...
5:44 in the morning!
One minute, only one minute left, only the last minute left before the light beam! ! !
what does that mean?
It means that He Fei is about to die, Zhao Ping is about to die, Peng Hu is about to die, and everyone is about to die. In just one minute, the light pillar that originally protected them will disappear, and as long as the light pillar disappears, then it will be The death date of He Fei and everyone else, they will die, and will soon be blasted to pieces by the crazy female!
This is the final death sentence, this is the last remaining time, but, or rather strangely...
Seeing that there was not much time left, He Fei was no longer afraid of the imminent annihilation of his entire army. His inner fear had basically disappeared, at least it was no longer as full of despair as before. There was only one reason why he was no longer afraid, and that was...
"I found it, I found it, I found a way to eliminate the curse!!!"
