"Would you like to enter the hotel now? There's no rush, the curse gave us half an hour, and there are still 10 minutes left." After listening to his companion's suggestion to enter, a handsome young man in front of the team smiled. He shook his head in rejection.
"Well, there is indeed still some time, so what should we do next?" Xu Shi, a handsome young man with a higher status in the team, saw the young man smiling and shaking his head. Next to him, the thin man who had just proposed to go in suddenly became silent and just stared. He asked curiously with his eyes open. When he saw the handsome young man smiling and saying nothing, the skinny man had no choice but to look at others. As the skinny man turned around, the first thing he saw was a beautiful woman with brown hair. She was wearing a white coat and her skin was It is as white as snow and exudes a luxurious temperament. It is like a fairy who does not eat fireworks from the world. It can only be viewed and not desecrated. However, there is also a strange thing, that is, the woman has her eyes closed the whole time. Even after arriving in front of the hotel, the woman still maintains her posture. Close your eyes.
"Wenona, please take care of the captain, he is wasting time again." Looking at the calm and composed woman with her eyes closed, the thin man began to plead with helplessness on his face. Unfortunately, he was disappointed. No matter how much he pleaded, he was called The woman who was talking about Wenona didn't respond, and just shook her head slightly. Seeing Wenona acting like she didn't care about anything, the thin man had no choice but to look at others, and then he saw a dark-skinned man. Young man.
"Amir, you..."
"Wait, Kieran, don't look at me. It's useless to look at me. We all know who the captain is. If Wynonna doesn't care, then there's no need to say anything about the others." It's different from the indifference of the woman who closed her eyes. Shaking his head, the swarthy man named Amir simply refused to give the skinny man a chance to speak. As soon as the skinny man looked at him, Amir had already stared in rejection, and the skinny man known as Kieran also As if he knew that what the other party said was true, Kieran could only smile bitterly when he saw the other party's answer. Just as he was smiling helplessly, Xu Shi and Kieran had almost the same idea. The next moment, Biao, who was 1.9 meters tall, appeared. More and more strong men came out, and then asked in a more cautious tone to the handsome young man who was admiring the scenery in front of him: "Hey, captain, what are you looking at? Isn't this just an ordinary country Z city? What's there to see? of?"
In order to carry out the supernatural mission as quickly as possible, the sturdy man took over the work that Kieran had not completed. He is still trying to persuade the young man to go in quickly. After persuading him, he also produced reasonable evidence, but unfortunately it was still useless, no matter how he was by his side Explaining the reason, the handsome young man ignored it, but another blond man reacted. Seeing that the handsome young man did not move for a long time, the blond man frowned slightly, but it was just a frown. In fact, he did not participate in the conversation of the previous few people. , but after glancing at the people in front of him, he turned around and looked behind him, looking at the six men and women who were looking nervous.
There is no doubt that unlike the calm people in the front row of the team, those standing in the back are newcomers. They are all new executors who have just joined, but...
If the blond man had frowned slightly just now, showing his displeasure, then after turning around and seeing the newcomers, for some reason, the blond man smiled. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then showed an imperceptibly cruel smile.
In fact, the answer is already clear after seeing this. Yes, the group of foreign men and women gathered in front of the hotel are not others, they are all members of the 6th execution team of Cursed Space!
……………
Time passed little by little under the ink mark of the handsome young man. During this period, he did nothing but stared at the hotel with an indifferent expression until the last minute arrived.
"Singh, that's it."
Just as time was approaching the limit, Wynonna, who had been keeping her eyes closed, spoke. After hearing the woman speak, the handsome young man named Singer reacted. Instead of being indifferent to others, he nodded, and then He turned around and greeted everyone: "It's almost time, let's go in."
Seeing that the captain finally gave the order, the members behind him who were afraid of being wiped out by the rules breathed a sigh of relief, and then led by the handsome young man straight to the hotel door.
The moment I stepped into the hotel, I don't know why, and others will not mention it for the time being. Only Captain Singer's expression changed. The indifferent look before entering the door completely disappeared, replaced by seriousness and solemnity. He immediately observed the lobby on the first floor. Singer's expression was completely different. The changes in the expressions of the two people were naturally noticed by everyone around them. The six newcomers were puzzled and surprised. On the contrary, several senior people showed a look of surprise, whether it was the woman with closed eyes, Wenona, or the thin man, Kieran. , or the swarthy man Amir, or even the sturdy man and the blond man, the five of them are all calm, as if they have long been accustomed to the changes in the captain's expression. Of course, whether they are used to it or not is not the key, the key is...
"Sure enough, it's exactly the same as in the video preview. There are indeed a lot of mirrors here." Seeing the mirrors scattered around the hall, Kieran blurted out. Now he and others came to the wall to observe carefully. Even when they checked, they were just ordinary mirrors in front of them. However, because the mirrors were ordinary and nothing unusual, everyone became more and more worried after checking the mirrors.
"Hey, captain, do you see anything?" During the inspection, the sturdy man kept paying attention to Singer. Seeing that Singer looked solemn and nervous, the strong man asked tentatively. He hoped that the other party could see something. What, it's a pity that he was disappointed. Not only was he disappointed, but every executor who pinned his hopes on the young man came back disappointed.
"Eames, look at what you said. I'm not the omniscient Brahma. How can I see anything unusual?" Faced with the sturdy man's expectant inquiry, Singer was very straightforward. He simply shrugged and shook his head to express his ignorance. , the sturdy man known as Eames couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly changed his vision to look at others. This time he looked at the woman with her eyes closed, Wenona, but saw that Wenona was currently pressing her hand against the mirror and frowning slightly, seemingly She is sensing something, but her eyes are still closed. Let’s not mention what Wynonna means by this move, but the reality is often unsatisfactory. Of course, this so-called unsatisfactory is not a failure of Wynonna’s perception, but...
"Hello, gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Alpha Hotel, where you can get the best attentive service in the city."
"My surname is Liu, and I am the lobby manager of Alfa Hotel. Are you dining or... hmm? You, you are..."
Just when everyone was in the lobby looking at the mirror, Manager Liu happened to come out of the toilet. As expected, he saw a group of guests coming to the hotel again. Manager Liu, who secretly sighed that business was booming today, was overjoyed and went over to say hello with a smile on his face. But then, As the distance got closer and closer, Manager Liu was speechless. Even the professional smile on his face was gradually replaced by surprise. The reason why he reacted like this was because he noticed that the other party looked different, or maybe Said that there was a group of foreigners in front of him.
First of all, it is certain that as a lobby manager of a five-star hotel, Manager Liu is well-informed and has interacted with all kinds of people from all over the world. There is naturally no shortage of foreigners during this period. He has received people from almost every country, so he will not He was surprised by the other person's foreign appearance. In fact, what really surprised him was...
An hour ago, a group of men and women came to the hotel. The leading young man among them also asked me if there were foreigners checking in at the hotel. When I received a negative answer, the other party specifically gave me money and told me that as soon as I found foreigners checking in to the hotel, I would check in. He made sure to inform the other party as soon as possible. At first, Manager Liu didn't care, thinking that the other party was talking crazy. Unexpectedly, not long after the group of people went upstairs, a group of foreign guests actually came to the hotel, and they looked like the ones from Indu. people.
As a hotel manager with great professional ethics, after discovering that the men and women in front of him all looked foreign, Manager Liu had already secretly made up his mind and decided to inform the other party afterwards. As the saying goes, everything is relative. Just when Manager Liu was making up his mind, his various reactions were also seen by everyone across the street, especially after seeing Manager Liu's surprised expression. Putting aside others for the time being, Singer had a thought in his mind, and then smiled. He responded politely: "Hello, Manager Liu, right? We are foreign tourists. I heard from the locals that your Alfa Hotel is very famous. I wonder if your hotel has any vacancies?"
"Ah! Yes, yes, yes, of course. It's not the peak tourist season right now. There are many vacant rooms in the store. I wonder what kind of room you want, sir?" He responded politely when he saw a person walking out from the opposite side. In addition, the other person expressed his willingness to stay when he came up. Manager Liu Suddenly coming back to his senses, he hurriedly smiled again and nodded repeatedly, saying by the way that there were many vacancies. Next, a series of situations that made Manager Liu suddenly feel familiar happened...
"Do you have a Zhongtong suite that can accommodate many people at the same time?"
"Yes, there are them on the 5th and 10th floors."
"Then let's open a Zhongtong suite. Needless to say the price, we have plenty of money. By the way, why do you put so many mirrors in your hotel? Also, have there been a group of people in the hotel before us? Um , the number should be about the same as ours.”
Yes, the moment after Manager Liu said that there was no problem with the accommodation, the handsome young man who seemed to be the leader directly chose a Zhongtong suite. Before Manager Liu could show his joy, the other party changed the subject and immediately asked about the hotel. Mirror, this question is not surprising to Manager Liu. After all, many guests who came here for the first time have asked curiously. But what really surprised him was that the other party actually asked about others and asked if there were other groups of guests who had been to the hotel before? And in my impression, a group of people did come to the hotel before, a group of men and women whose number was not much different from the people in front of me. Not only that, the previous group of people also asked me similar questions, asking whether there were groups of foreigners staying in the hotel. This …
What exactly is going on?
Manager Liu couldn't possibly know what was going on. The reason was that the burly man, who was about 1.9 meters tall, kept staring at him with fierce eyes. He was so staring that he didn't dare to ask questions out of curiosity. He had no choice but to answer honestly about the mirror issue. , Manager Liu knew everything and told the truth about the hotel style and the fact that the mirror was purely for decoration. However, in the end, when faced with the second question, Manager Liu looked confused and became a little hesitant. I.
"It seems that Manager Liu has something to hide. Don't worry, we won't force you to say it. After all, everyone has everyone's privacy." Seeing Manager Liu's hesitation, Singer smiled slightly and stopped the sturdy man with his eyes. With threatening intent, Eames then walked closer and quietly stuffed a thick stack of U.S. dollars into Manager Liu's pocket while talking, and then...
"Yes, I have been here! About an hour ago, that is, around 1 p.m., a group of men and women, 13 people in total, came to the store. They came here and opened a Zhongtong Suite on the 5th floor, Room 502. !”
Manager Liu told the truth again. The moment he saw the dollars in his pocket, he hid the confusion and told the news on the spot. Not only did he nod and acknowledge the fact that He Fei and others stayed in the hotel, but also that these people stayed in the hotel. The room number was clearly stated there! There is no denying that Manager Liu is a very principled person, but the problem is that no matter how strong his principles are, they can’t compare to that thick stack of high dollar bills. In the face of money that is enough to defeat anyone, Manager Liu will be knocked down by him without any suspense. !
As for Singer and other executors...
After knowing the answer they wanted, that is, when they heard that a group of men and women had already checked into the hotel before they arrived, everyone's expressions changed, including Singer's. Some were nervous, some frowned, and some They all put on a look of disdain, but Singer was expressionless. His face seemed expressionless, but in fact his mind was already working.
No one knew what Singer was thinking at the moment, but in reality his thoughts did not last long. Before Manager Liu could get over the initial excitement, Singer returned to his smile and continued: "Please ask Manager Liu to open a room for us too." The Zhongtong Suite is located on the 5th floor, but the location should be as far away from 502 as possible.”
"Ah, okay, no problem, I'll cover it!"
What happened next was simple. Under Manager Liu's extremely warm greeting, everyone quickly registered for accommodation at the front desk. Afterwards, the group rushed upstairs with Manager Liu's respectful greeting. During this period, something similar happened again. A similar scene was that there was an elevator next to it, but this group of Indians did not take it, and instead collectively stepped into the stairs next to it.
"Eh? Could it be that the elevator is broken? Why don't we all take the stairs?" Seeing the familiar scene play out again, Manager Liu was completely dumbfounded. But then again, as a very principled person, Manager Liu finally understood The principle of collecting money to do things, thinking that he had received ten US dollars not long ago, after confirming that the group of Indians had stepped up the stairs and disappeared, Manager Liu moved, quickly ran to a corner, and then took out Press the number on your phone...
At the same time, when Manager Liu made the call, he was on the second floor of the hotel.
As if discussed in advance, holding the room key on the 5th floor, Singer and other executors did not go straight to the 5th floor. Instead, they stopped when they reached the 2nd floor and looked around to confirm that there was no one else on the scene. , Kieran and Eames actually said something in unison:
"The seventh team has come in early!" Yes, because they are all execution teams struggling to survive in the cursed space, except for He Fei's seventh team who has received a team mode notice from the curse, this group of sixth team's executors They also received the curse notice, and this was also their first team mission since arriving at Hell Reincarnation Station. Since it was their first time to participate, everyone was naturally frustrated and wary of the seventh team they had never seen before, especially in After learning that the other team had checked into the hotel in advance, many people became more nervous. Except for Kieran and Eames who opened their mouths to explain, even Wynonna, who had her eyes closed the whole time, had a faint look of solemnity, and then turned to Singer. He opened his mouth and asked, "What should we do next?"
"Hey, everyone, don't be nervous. We are nervous. The people in the seventh team may be more nervous than us..." There is no reason, no reason, Wenona finished her words. Singer, who was looking around the scene just now, smiled, and immediately He said something that shocked everyone. After hearing this, everyone except the newcomers and the blond man who maintained a disdainful expression were stunned. As expected, Kieran also looked at a loss the moment he broke free. He asked curiously: "Are they more nervous than us? What do you mean by this?"
"It's very simple." Seeing everyone's curious looks, Singer continued with a faint smile: "First of all, we all know that although curses are insidious and vicious, they are always fair in their actions. Normal supernatural tasks No matter how difficult it is, there will always be a basic balance between the creature and the executor, thereby giving the executor a chance of survival. Since this is the case for regular supernatural missions, then why not the same for team-based supernatural missions?”
"Wait a minute, I don't understand what you are saying. Of course I also know that curses are always fair and never issue unsolvable tasks, but what does this have to do with the seventh team?"
"Yes, captain, if you have anything to say, just say it. Your IQ is recognized as the best in the team. I can't understand you playing riddles like this."
"Well, seeing as you two really don't look very smart, I'll just say it straight away." As expected, facing Kieran and Eames's incomprehensible words, Singer made a joke. No longer beating around the bush, he explained seriously under the increasingly suspicious gazes of everyone: "As I just said, the curse is fair, and the relative balance between the creature and the executor can always be maintained at any time. If this is the case between people, why shouldn’t it be the same between people?”
(Well?)
Suddenly, as if she understood the meaning of Singer's words instantly, as soon as the young man finished speaking, Wenona moved her eyebrows slightly and answered: "Could it be that you mean... strength?"
Snapped.
"As expected of Sister Nona, you are indeed smart. You understood what I meant so quickly. If it weren't for everyone's insistence, I would have given up the position of captain to you. To be honest, I don't want to be the captain at all. This job It’s too tiring and too troublesome.” Listening to the woman’s tentative guesses with her eyes closed, Singer snapped his fingers, and at the same time nodded and praised the woman in a respectful and slightly bitter tone. Obviously, he was different from treating others casually. Because, facing the woman with her eyes closed, Singer was very respectful, and his slightly bitter tone directly proved that he had a lazy character, and he must be the kind of character who can put things off when he wants to do things. It's a pity that it's useless. Seeing young people Wynonna once again expressed her willingness to give up the throne, but Wynonna pretended not to hear it. Kieran and others, who were already impatient, ignored it. Seeing that everyone ignored her suggestion to give up the throne, Singer sighed and had to say it back. Main topic:
"Yes, it's strength. If my guess is correct, I think Curse must have evaluated the strength of our sixth and seventh teams before entering the mission. The final conclusion is that our overall strength is stronger than the seventh team! "
"It is precisely because the comprehensive strength of our sixth team is stronger than that of the seventh team that the curse did not let the two teams enter the mission at the same time, but deliberately staggered the entry time of the two teams. The weaker one entered early, and the stronger one Arriving late is a kind of proof, a metaphor that distinguishes the strength of a team."
Huh?
Not to mention, after listening to Singer's explanation, on the opposite side, except for Wynonna who had already realized it, Kieran, Eames and even Amir, who had been maintaining a calm posture, all looked enlightened, and then they all understood. Singer meant what he said, and Kieran opened his eyes wide and said instinctively the next moment he understood: "The seventh execution team came an hour earlier than us. Doesn't that mean..."
"Yes." After taking over Kieran's hesitant words, Singer nodded and announced the truth: "Yes, in the eyes of the curse, the overall strength of our sixth team is higher than that of the seventh team!"
I understand, I understand completely. No wonder Singer didn’t show much nervousness at first when he learned about the advance entry of the seventh team. Instead, he smiled and said that he should be more nervous than them. It turns out that’s what happened. In fact, it’s also true. , unless the seventh team is all idiots, they will definitely care and find that the time of the two teams is different. Compared with them, their own entry time is later.
However……
As soon as he finished speaking, before Kieran and others could look relaxed, Singer suddenly changed the subject, and then continued to add with a serious face: "This is true, but we don't need to be happy, even in the eyes of the curse. We are indeed higher than the opponent in terms of comprehensive strength, but it is only comprehensive strength. In fact, it does not rule out that the other team also has people with special abilities or extremely powerful people, not to mention that the so-called strong is only slightly stronger. Don’t forget that the opponent is only one hour ahead of us. One hour is too short, so short that it can be ignored. Do you know what this means? This means that in the judgment mechanism of the curse, the two teams are almost the same. The strength is basically at the same level.”
No one had ever dreamed that the captain, who seemed calm just now, would suddenly change his expression and become serious. Later, he explained and reminded them in a serious tone. The result was positive. After receiving the reminder, everyone's relaxation disappeared and was replaced by caution and seriousness. , almost everyone showed a solemn expression. The reason why I use almost to describe it is because there are still exceptions. There is still one person who maintains a disdainful expression throughout the whole process. The other person is none other than the blond man.
As mentioned above, in order to dispel everyone's relaxed mentality, Singer glanced at everyone with serious eyes. However, when his eyes turned to the blond man, for some reason, Singer's expression changed slightly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
……………
ps: Of course I can write the word "General (Harmony)", but the problem is that "General" and "Unification" cannot be put together. If placed side by side, they will be judged as prohibited words by the system, so I did not make a typo, but It won’t work without a typo.
