As soon as Tang Meng said this, as if he had heard some extremely terrible news, Peng Hu was shocked on the spot! Not only that, after listening to the other party's words, he subconsciously put his head out of the rockery and looked around. If the environment was not too dark and he still wanted to wait for Tang Meng to explain, he might be impatient to go out and check now.
"It's impossible to find water on the entire campus? What do you mean?
Listening to the nervous questioning that followed after the bald man turned around, Tang Meng continued to explain more solemnly: "Although you and I walked slowly along the way, we still visited most of the campus except the playground. How big can a school be? Especially when I passed by the pond near the laboratory building not long ago, I found that the water in it had long dried up."
Peng Hu argued unbelievingly: "I also took a look at the pond I passed by before. There is indeed no water in it. It's just mud. But this doesn't prove that there is no water in other places, right?"
"Well, since Brother Peng doesn't believe it, let's prove it with reality. It just so happens that I also want to verify it."
Soon, Tang Meng made up his mind and walked straight out of the rockery, and then walked with Peng Hu towards a building a hundred meters away. That building may be just a common building in the eyes of others, but for Tang Meng and the two of them, Now, it has become a key area, a place that must be visited no matter what...
Reservoir!
Yes, right in front is the central reservoir of Tianlan High School. It is connected to the off-campus water supply pipeline and is also the water storage place for all the school's water supply equipment. If you want to verify whether the school has water, coming here is undoubtedly the most direct and ideal choice.
Because they were worried that the light source would cause danger, as before, neither Tang Meng nor Peng Hu took out their flashlights during the walk. They just used the flickering moonlight in the sky to walk slowly on the campus. As their footsteps gradually approached, Soon, the two of them successfully walked into the reservoir despite the ups and downs, and then...
Snap.
Considering that this place was even darker indoors, in order to be able to see things clearly during the inspection, Tang Meng had no choice but to turn on the cat's eye flashlight. Soon, with the flashlight light illuminating the room, it looked like an extremely dry reservoir field? The scenery just came into view.
Creak, creak.
Seeing the dry environment of the reservoir, Peng Hu, who was already feeling uneasy, immediately rushed to several rows of faucets, and then turned on and off the valves one by one. However, unfortunately, in the next few minutes, no matter which faucet he turned or He rushed to other rooms to conduct experiments and found that no water was dripping from all the valves. However, he did not know whether he was too unwilling or unwilling to accept the reality. With the last trace of luck, the bald man stumbled towards the water tank and immediately raised his hand to knock on the surface of the water tank.
result……
Bang, bang, bang.
Listening to the empty and harsh knocking sound of the water tank, Peng Hu was dumbfounded. It turned out that Tang Meng's guess was true. The school had no water. Not only was the pond dry and filled with mud, but even the only reservoir in the school that stored water was extremely dry. Try to find After waiting for a long time, I didn’t see a drop of water!
Tick tock.
The water was not seen, but the cold sweat that followed Peng Hu couldn't help but drip down after getting the result that there was no water in the reservoir. A large amount of cold sweat dropped frequently from his smooth forehead. In fact, it was not only Peng Hu who confirmed that there was no water in the reservoir. After that, he broke into a cold sweat. Even Tang Meng, who guessed in advance that the school was out of water, turned pale after confirming the reality. Yes, through the observation and experiment just now, it was enough to confirm that the school was out of water. As for the reason for the lack of water, …
……………
As for the reason for the lack of water?
As expected, this result belongs to the mechanism. To put it bluntly, it is the result of a curse.
(Curse, curse, it seems that you have arranged all this in advance, but what is your intention in arranging this? Are you giving hope to the executor and then using this reality to make the executor despair? Or is it? Are you implying something to the executor?)
As mentioned above, after confirming the fact that Tianlan High School has no water, let’s not say what Peng Hu was thinking, but Tang Meng’s mind immediately thought of the curse, and determined that the result of the lack of water was the result of the curse. , the reason is very simple. Compared with Peng Hu, although she has not experienced too many tasks, she is now considered a quite experienced veteran. During this period, she has learned a lot, including the frequent curses. There are a series of hidden rules such as setting obstacles for the performers in the task and the longer the time is, the more difficult the task will be to solve. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is right. If the curse does not set certain obstacles for the performers participating in the task, then some specific tasks It will become very easy, just like the skeleton worm this time. Tang Meng once accidentally discovered the weakness of water that can inhibit its speed. Logically speaking, things will be easier to handle. The executor only needs to hide in the water source. place, and then you can spend the night by constantly pouring water on the skeleton.
The above logic is certainly confusing, but unfortunately, while imagination is beautiful, reality is always cruel, and the curse has indeed continued its sinister style. In order to prevent the executor from taking advantage of the weakness of the monster to delay time, the curse will destroy the entire school. All are shielded, and all water of a certain size will disappear without exception. The result of this is undoubtedly devastating!
The skeletal worm is incredibly fast. As long as it is discovered and pursued, no one can escape. Although hiding is a pretty good idea, who can guarantee that the skeletal worm cannot sense it well? Will the perception be enhanced in the subsequent time and it will be easier to find them? After all, it was a wolf, an evil spirit that could not be explained by science. In addition, the hidden setting of the wolf becoming crazier as the mission came to an end...
After thinking about this, Tang Meng finally came to a terrifying conclusion that made her shudder. That is, time will kill them and they will become the best accomplice of the skeleton worm. As time goes by, there is a high probability that the skeleton worm will beat the time step. Kill the entire team before 5 o'clock in the morning!
Judging from the current time, it is difficult for the executor to survive to the end by simply evading, and it is almost impossible to survive until 5 o'clock in the morning by evading means. It is true that this is just an ordinary level supernatural mission. On the surface, it is not difficult, but it is also Please don’t forget that there is also a rule restricting prohibited props in this mission! What if when the time approaches 5 o'clock, the skull's sensing range suddenly increases, even to the point where it can easily sense the precise location of all humans on campus? With the terrifying speed of the Skeleton Hydra, once it is found, how many chances will the executor who cannot use the props survive?
Since it is first concluded that hiding and staying up is not a good idea, then how should we deal with this mission? Or how can the executor survive this mission? The answer is undoubtedly to take the initiative, which means that if the executor wants to avoid the end of the entire army being annihilated, the only way to survive is to race against time and try to find the true identity of the skeletal creature before the time is near the end of the mission and the skeleton worm has not yet gone crazy. Weaknesses and eliminate them to end the mission early. Otherwise, let alone survive until the end of the mission, Tang Meng estimated that it would only take an hour or two for the ghost to sense the increase in size, and then hide himself and everyone in the school. Kill all the living people.
As for water?
When there is no water in the school, water is of little significance, and it also cannot play a big role. Pouring a whole mineral water on the skeleton can only slow down its movement speed for a few seconds, not to mention the soup. Meng's only bottle of mineral water has been consumed in the previous escape. At this moment, the only way to survive this mission is to find the real weakness of the skeleton!
In this case, here comes the question...
If we exclude the weakness of being afraid of water, which is not a weakness, what is the real weakness of the Skeleton Grasshopper, or the real way to survive in this mission?
Unknowingly, after Peng Hu, cold sweat gradually seeped out from Tang Meng's forehead. Peng Hu, who had been frightened for a long time, simply stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and kept wiping the sweat that flowed to his face. While sweating profusely, Xu came up with other personal thoughts that could be called a crisis. After shaking off a few drops of sweat, the bald man instinctively turned to look at Tang Meng, but...
Hooray.
His vision had just turned to Tang Meng, and before he could even speak, he heard a series of moving sounds coming from outside the door. The next moment, a bright beam of light came straight from outside the reservoir door, shining directly on the two of them!
"ah!!!"
All this happened so suddenly, almost instantly, but because of the suddenness of the incident, when the light beam shone on the two of them, the two people who were already nervous were frightened to death! For a moment, both Tang Meng and Peng Hu were so frightened that they both screamed. When the screams started, the two people who reacted quickly subconsciously turned around and ran away, collectively escaping to the next room, but...
Just as they turned around, a loud shout came from the door, but the two of them felt relieved in an instant:
"Hey! Who are you two? What are you doing here?"
Snap.
As the owner of the voice at the door asked sternly, the light switch of the reservoir was quickly pressed. When the room returned to brightness in an instant, Tang Meng and Peng Hu finally saw the complete appearance of the owner of the voice.
I looked at it nervously and saw a middle-aged man suddenly appear at the entrance of the reservoir. The man was about forty years old. He was holding a flashlight and wearing a typical security uniform. Seeing this, unless he was a fool, he would not Anyone could tell the identity of the security guard. In all likelihood, he was a night shift security guard who stayed behind at the school.
Seeing this, Tang Meng and Peng Hu were collectively stunned.
As guessed, this middle-aged man in uniform is indeed a school security guard, the night shift security guard who is on duty tonight. He was just patrolling the campus as usual. Originally, he planned to take a casual stroll on campus. He went back to the gate to sleep. Unexpectedly, he accidentally discovered the situation while passing by the reservoir, and faintly saw the light of a flashlight inside.
Seeing the light of a flashlight suddenly appearing in the school that was already deserted due to the holiday, the middle-aged security guard who was still responsible ran to check on him despite his conditioned reflex. In the end, he actually discovered two strange men and women he had never seen before in the reservoir. Putting aside the very beautiful young woman, as he turned on the light and shifted his gaze, the middle-aged security guard was startled when he saw the bald man next to the woman who didn't look like a good guy no matter how he looked. I was so frightened by the fierce and ferocious appearance of the bald man that my legs twisted!
"Ah! Who are you?"
As soon as he saw the bald man's appearance clearly, the middle-aged security guard, who thought he had seen a ferocious criminal, shouted to encourage himself, and then hurriedly took out the rubber stick from his waist, but who would have thought...
】
"Fuck you, Ma! You almost scared me to death!"
It was too late, but it was too late. Before the security guard could take the rubber stick in his hand, he heard an angry shout and a huge fist hit the middle-aged security guard hard on the left side of his face!
bump!
"oops!"
The middle-aged security guard who was hit hard screamed and fell to the ground, but even so, Peng Hu, who had just been nearly scared to death, still did not let him go. As soon as the middle-aged security guard fell to the ground, Peng Hu, who was still angry, immediately He ran in front of him, and then kicked him with a fierce look on his face!
"I'll let you scare me, I'll let you scare me!"
bump! bump! bump!
"Ah! Wow!"
He continued to curse and kicked him for more than a dozen times before Peng Hu's anger subsided a little and stopped beating him. He originally wanted to curse the other party, but before he could open his mouth, Tang Meng next to him suddenly felt as if he smelled some terrible crisis. His face suddenly changed! Immediately he shouted to Peng Hu in an anxious tone: "The noise here is too big, hurry up, Brother Peng! Let's get out of here quickly!!!"
Da da da!
As if he had a premonition that some kind of danger was about to happen, Tang Meng immediately started running towards the door as soon as he finished speaking.
Of course, Tang Meng sensed a crisis and chose to run away. How could Peng Hu fail to hear the warning in the other party's words? Seeing the female doctor running away with fear on her face, she no longer bothered to yell at the security guard. The bald man followed closely and ran away. Following a series of rapid runs, in just a moment, the two of them ran out of the reservoir and escaped into the In the night.
The scene shifts back to the reservoir.
"Oh, oh, he, damn, he ran pretty fast..."
Because he was beaten for no reason, and because the bald man used a lot of force, the middle-aged security guard still maintained a protective posture of curling up and holding his head. It wasn't until Peng Hu ran into the night and disappeared that the security guard grinned and struggled to get up. , but there is a saying that goes like this: a loser never loses a battle. Although he was no match for the bald man who just beat him, after he got up from the ground with a grin on his face, in addition to constantly rubbing his body in severe pain, the security guard He was still cursing, subconsciously taking the other party's escape behavior as a guilty conscience. Sure enough, after confirming that the two gangsters had run away, the middle-aged security guard did not leave the reservoir immediately, but took out his mobile phone from his pocket with an angry expression.
He planned to call the police.
This is natural. Not to mention that this is his duty. The unprovoked beating that the bald man just gave him is enough to make him hold a grudge. He will never let go of the bald bastard who beat him. He must Call the police as soon as possible, and then send this arrogant thief who came to school to steal things to prison. It is best to sentence him to decades!
Full of anger, the middle-aged security guard took out his cell phone, but...
In front of the reservoir door, just when he instinctively turned around and was about to call the police, the security guard stopped. He was frozen like a sculpture without any warning. His whole body stopped all movements in an instant, even when he was about to touch the button of his mobile phone. His fingers were completely stagnant in the air, and then, the middle-aged security guard's crotch began to get wet, and a large amount of liquid flowed down the trouser legs like an unscrewed faucet. As the liquid flowed, the security guard's face and even body were not affected. The control started to tremble, and he looked like he was extremely frightened!
What made the middle-aged security guard shake like chaff in an instant and even make him pee in fear? The answer is simple. The answer is a skeleton, a pale human skeleton.
Yes, just now, when the middle-aged security guard instinctively looked back at the door, a skeleton appeared in front of him. A skeleton without flesh and blood came into view at close range. At this moment, this body did not know when it appeared. The human skeleton behind him is standing in front of him, and the distance between him and the skeleton is less than half a meter!
Blah, blah, blah.
Maintaining the gushing of urine and maintaining absolute silence, after a moment, as if prompted by his subconscious, tremblingly, the middle-aged security guard took the initiative to raise his head, looked up at the skeletal face, and then...
He saw an unexpected human face. The entire body was obviously a skeleton, but unexpectedly, a head that was not much different from a normal person was connected to the top of the skeleton. At this moment, the head was staring at him with a pair of blood-colored eyes. He is locking himself tightly! ! !
"Ah...ah...ah..."
"Haha, haha!!!"
After witnessing this scene, the middle-aged security guard finally came out of his daze and screamed. First his throat squirmed and he whimpered, and then he suddenly screamed that there were worms. Maybe he could have lived a little longer if he didn't say there were worms. , however, precisely because he shouted the word "蝞", in front of him, the originally expressionless skeleton hawk showed an angry expression similar to that of a human. At the same time, along with a whistling sound, a ???????? ????????A huge pale bone hand also carried the evil wind and came straight towards it. Before the middle-aged security guard could finish screaming, the bone hand had already pressed hard on the security guard's head, almost completely covering the security guard's head. live! While catching the security guard, Skull also said something in an angry tone:
"I... am... not... a..."
"Not a wolf!"
Klop, Klop!
"Ah! Oooohhhhhhh!!!"
As soon as the skeleton ghost finished speaking, the security guard felt the power in the next moment. From the pale bone hand that was clutching his head, he noticed an abnormally huge force comparable to that of a hydraulic press. The huge force became stronger under the contraction of the five bone fingers. As the bone hand gradually shrank, the security guard began to scream in an instant. He thought the scream would last for a long time, but unexpectedly, it only lasted a few seconds. He didn't even wait for his instinct to raise his hand to resist the struggle. Next...
burst!
Listening to an indescribable horrifying sound, the middle-aged security guard's head exploded, and was crushed on the spot under the squeeze of the skeleton's suddenly contracted palm!
Pfft, clatter!
As the head exploded into red mist, the security guard's screams stopped abruptly, leaving only the headless corpse standing there, spouting blood crazily, and then...
Plop.
After shaking on the spot for a few moments, the headless corpse collapsed to the ground. However, even though the head exploded and he was already dead, the body without the head was still twitching violently under the influence of nerves. It was not until the nerve response gradually weakened that the corpse completely stopped moving. .
The lack of movement from the corpse means that the scene has returned to silence. As for the skeleton worm...
It made a move, and as soon as it killed the middle-aged security guard, the Skeleton Weed turned around and floated out of the reservoir. While it was floating, it seemed to sense something again, and a pair of blood-red eyes began to rotate, and finally looked towards the west side of the campus.
Following his gaze to the west side, he saw that the west side was filled with darkness. Apart from the darkness, there was no scene at all. However, the strange thing was that even though it was completely dark there, the skeleton ghost was still looking at the next moment to the west side. Sudden acceleration! As the pale body suddenly accelerated, the skeleton worm turned into a hurricane, carrying the endless wind and rushing towards the darkness, and soon disappeared into the night without a trace.
At the same time, on the west side of the school.
"Grrrr, grrrr, who, who can come and save me... I don't want to be alone, don't want to, don't want to..."
I don’t know when Gao Chengliang developed the habit of chattering teeth. Yes, ever since he escaped from the school dormitory by chance, this relatively strong baby-faced young man has been blindly walking around the campus, with his teeth chattering all the time. Shivering, it seems that this habit was first developed during the mission, but in fact it appeared in the video preview before the mission started. It is conceivable that I was already scared before the mission even started. So at this moment, alone Walking in the dark and gloomy campus, how scared should Gao Chengliang be? Not only did his teeth chatter, he kept mumbling in his mouth, frequently mumbling to himself in a voice so small that only he could hear the trembling.
At this moment, walking in the darkness, Gao Chengliang completely lost his sense of direction. He didn't know where he was now, and he also didn't know where he was going. He just ran around randomly in the dark and dead campus, whispering to himself while chattering his teeth. His legs followed each other step by step, and he did not dare to enter any of the buildings on the way. Obviously, the killing in the dormitory had brought a serious psychological shadow to Gao Chengliang. He was afraid that he would be beaten to death after being blocked in the room, and he did not dare to enter again this time. The campus building was closed, and he was groping around in the unclear campus. But then again, because he had had a mission experience at least, although Gao Chengliang was frightened, he did not lose his mind after all, and he and the gang he just joined There are certain differences among newcomers. At least they react much faster. This can be clearly seen when Gao Chengliang jumped off the building for the first time. In addition, he also knew that being alone was never a good thing. After he jumped off the building and ran away from the dormitory, Gao Chengliang contacted him immediately. A senior person hopes to meet up with a senior person. No matter who he is, as long as he is a senior person, it is best to contact Li Tianheng, who has the best attitude towards him. But the strange thing is...
Regardless of whether it was a mobile phone or a communicator that the veteran had asked him to carry with him, no matter how hard he tried, both communication devices had no signal, and the result of forced contact was only a busy signal.
Seeing that all communications were ineffective, Gao Chengliang was dumbfounded. In the end, he could only run around like a headless fly, searching for seniors on campus using the most primitive means.
