Seeing the two people returning home loaded with tools, Chen Shuihong was frightened for half of his life! He was so frightened that all the fat on his body trembled, and his throat was filled with trembling sounds. Not only did the middle-aged fat man's fat body tremble, but even Li Tianheng, who had tried to remain calm at first, was trembling. Peng Hu's eyes widened and he said in astonishment: " Damn, this, you, your reaction is too exaggerated, right?"
"Exaggeration? No, no, Brother Peng, what you said is wrong. Sister Tang Meng and I are not exaggerating at all. After all, it is better to be fully prepared than unprepared. Although we haven't figured out the nature of the mission yet, But at least we have to be prepared for the worst." As expected of a funny Taoist priest who is a bit more optimistic than He Fei, although the situation is obviously getting tense, Chen Xiaoyao still looks calm and calm, so he turns to Peng Hu talked and explained the logic. At the same time, as Tang and Chen returned to the scene, Cheng Ying, who had already guessed their intentions, did not show much surprise. Instead, she immediately looked at He Fei and glanced at her arms. He Fei was still sleeping. The female killer sighed secretly and had no choice but to look at Zhao Ping. As for the man with glasses...
"The situation is not good."
As if she had guessed Cheng Ying's inner thoughts, the female killer turned around and saw that Zhao Ping, who was bowing his head in deep thought, had stopped thinking at some point, and then said something that was very consistent with the subjective evaluation of this mission. After saying this, Cheng Ying narrowed her eyes and asked tentatively: "What are the details?"
Faced with Cheng Ying's appropriately extended topic, in front of everyone, Zhao Ping stretched out three fingers and said calmly with no expression at the same time: "There are three specific aspects. First, this mission is an upper-middle level. In my impression, ordinary people are at an upper-middle level. The tasks are often difficult to solve, and the difficulty is mostly reflected in the incident itself. Secondly, the video preview just now is rather strange. The cause of death of the two villagers who died successively in the video is a mystery. During this period, we did not see their murderer, and we did not see their murderer. Two of them died in a manner that we also did not witness."
"As for the last point, that is the mission prompt we saw before, that is, this mission cannot return early by solving the incident, and you must stay in the mission world for 5 days."
As expected of a man with glasses who claims to be as smart as He Fei, Zhao Ping had already summarized everyone's frustrations and tensions after just thinking for a moment, and then summarized them into three major doubts. In other words, what is currently troubling and even making everyone nervous is precisely the above three. Yes, as expected, seeing Zhao Ping easily pointing out the key to the problem, everyone including Cheng Ying nodded. Almost everyone thought that Zhao Ping was right, but unfortunately...
Just when Cheng Ying was about to continue questioning on behalf of everyone else, asking the man with glasses whether he could solve the above problems, before Cheng Ying could speak, Zhao Ping shook his head decisively, and before Cheng Ying could speak, he shook his head slightly to express his ignorance. Seeing the man with glasses showing off, Don't ask about my posture. Everyone felt disappointed. Fortunately, Zhao Ping didn't care and instead looked down at his watch.
After looking at his watch, Zhao Ping stood up and turned around, and then ordered everyone in a cold tone without any emotion: "The time is almost up, everyone come out with me."
……………
Walking out of the hall and into the square, I saw a suspended vortex of black and white intersecting at the edge. Leading the crowd, Zhao Ping took the lead and came closer.
At this moment, looking at the whirlpool in front of him, Zhao Ping did not hesitate like last time. He only paused for a few seconds. The man adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and stepped into the whirlpool first. With Zhao Ping taking the lead, Cheng Ying soon followed. Carrying He Fei towards the vortex, Peng Hu, Tang Meng, and Kong Ling followed closely behind. It's not because they were so decisive, but because time waits for no one. Forced by the curse, no matter whether they like it or not, they can only hold on. Scalp chose to enter, and as most people disappeared into the whirlpool, only the hesitant Chen Shuihong and the calm Chen Xiaoyao were left.
"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Chen, what are you doing? Hurry up? Haven't you seen that everyone has gone in?" In front of the whirlpool, I saw that the middle-aged fat man had not left for a long time, and I saw that his fat body was shaking and shaking. Chen Xiaoyao laughed secretly in his heart, but on the outside he put on a surprised expression and urged him. However, the strange thing was that it was better that he didn't urge him. As soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Shuihong started to tremble even more, and he looked like a man who was about to be escorted. At the execution ground, when a condemned man was being executed, his whole body was trembling, and his fear was very obvious. Fortunately, Chen Shuihong still retained his basic sense. Under Chen Xiaoyao's urging, the fat man reluctantly lifted his feet and moved a few steps, but...
"Huh?"
After finally moving to the edge, Chen Shuihong stopped again. Chen Xiaoyao was shocked and subconsciously said "Huh". He was about to continue urging, but before he could open his mouth, the fat man suddenly turned around and said with an extremely He said to Chen Xiaoyao in a rough tone: "Well, brother Chen, I almost forgot to mention, do you have any Taoist magic weapon that can exorcise evil and avoid disaster? If so, give me one."
No one expected that at the last moment when he was about to enter, Chen Shuihong would ask Chen Xiaoyao for the magic weapon. Ordinary people would have been speechless, but Chen Xiaoyao reacted calmly, as if he had already understood the other person's mind. As soon as Chen Shuihong finished speaking. , Chen Xiaoyao grinned and said: "Okay, okay, Brother Chen, I know what you mean. Let's do this. You can just follow Pindao during the mission. If something happens, I will go first. No matter what, I will try my best." Keep you alive."
"Ah, really, really? That's great!"
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. The question is, should your sister go in quickly!? If you don't go in, you will be wiped out! Quick, quick, quick!"
In the end, Chen Shuihong was forced to enter under Chen Xiaoyao's pull, and the two of them disappeared into the vortex together...
After getting through the period of confusion with no sense of time, Zhao Ping suddenly opened his eyes, and then hurriedly got up using his hands and feet. Coincidentally, when Zhao Ping got up, Cheng Ying and others who woke up almost at the same time also They all jumped up and looked at each other as fast as they could. The movements were so fast. No matter who it was, everyone was nervous and nervous. It was only natural that they should react this way. After all, this mission was a bit special. Who knows what would happen in it? In order to ensure safety as much as possible, observation has become inevitable. Not only that, as soon as they raised their heads to look at the scene, a gust of mountain wind blew through everyone's bodies, and a fresh breath was smelled in their noses.
Through the looming protective light shield, the first thing that comes into view is a mountain, a mountain scene with no bright spots. At the same time, this also explains why the scene environment is fresh. It turns out that this is a mountainous area, and they are currently on a slightly steep road. On the mountain road, there were three newcomers lying next to them. This was not over yet. As the observation continued, they saw that in addition to the seniors and newcomers, there were four strange men and women outside the light mask that enveloped everyone. They were currently sitting there. It seems to be resting next to it.
I remember that the information clearly stated that after entering the task, the executor will automatically obtain the identity of a newspaper employee. As expected, the four men and women in front of him should be the plot characters from the newspaper. It is also worth mentioning that under the transparent mask, Under the cover, the inside of the photomask cannot be seen from the outside, and as long as the photomask does not disappear, the mission will not officially start. For this reason, during the short gap before the mission starts, after quickly observing the surrounding environment, Everyone turned to look behind them. When they looked back, three newcomers happened to wake up.
"Ugh, my head hurts so much. I, what's wrong with me?"
"Wait, this is... a mountainous area? Why did I come here?"
At this moment, maintaining almost the same blank expression, the newcomers were looking around, muttering to themselves while looking around blankly. They were confused about where they were at the moment and had no idea where they were. In addition, the newcomers this time were all men. , they are a middle-aged man who looks kind-looking, a young man who is not very old, and a thin man with a middle parted hair. The above three are the newcomers to this mission. As usual, because Having just woken up, no matter who they were, everyone was confused and nervous, especially after discovering that there were still a group of strange men and women standing around them that they had never seen before. As expected, the tension among the three of them intensified. Fortunately, the senior people had long been accustomed to it, and seeing the three of them seemed Zhao Ping winked at Tang Meng when there was a sign of inquiry. Seeing the man with glasses looking at her, the female doctor understood immediately and walked directly to the three of them and greeted them proactively: "Guys, I know you have a lot of questions at the moment. I can help you with this." A little explanation, but before that I hope you will carefully recall it. As expected, I think you should be able to find a piece of mission information in your mind..."
I don’t know whether it was because the information in their minds was too clear or because the newcomers had strong receptive abilities this time. Soon, with the support of the mission information and Tang Meng’s additional explanation, the newcomers chose to accept the reality, and reluctantly believed that they had become executors. Tragic reality, at the same time, seeing the newcomer choose to believe, Tang Meng also introduced the senior person. After the senior person was introduced first, not long after, everyone also learned the identity of the newcomer.
Through self-introduction, the middle-aged man with a kind face is named Han Xuedian, 40 years old, and works as a quality inspection manager in an automobile company in K city. The young man is named Yang Lei, 23 years old, who has just graduated from college and has not yet joined the work. As for the last thing The thin man with a middle parting is named Ma Wenhai, 37 years old, who works as a financial officer in a foreign-funded company.
Of course, the title is not important. What is important is that Tang Meng is very particular about efficiency. As soon as the newcomers introduced themselves, the female doctor informed the three of them of many precautions, the most important of which was:
"Remember, we are currently in a standard mission world. The identity given to you by the curse is that of newspaper staff. From now on, you will follow us. Don't talk too much during this period. Everything will be handled by senior people."
After hearing this, the newcomers nodded in understanding.
Leaving aside whether the newcomers really understood it, Tang Meng said everything that needed to be said. After solving the newcomers' problem as quickly as possible, the transparent mask that originally enveloped everyone just disappeared. The disappearance of the mask meant that the mission officially started. , it also means that the executor is officially integrated into the plot!
Seeing the light mask disappear, and without anyone reminding them, everyone collectively turned their heads to look at the opposite side, looking at the four plot characters who were sitting on the ground and resting.
As described and guessed at the beginning, in fact, as early as the moment when the four strange men and women were discovered, no matter who they were, everyone instinctively understood the identity of the other person. First of all, it can be affirmed that these people are by no means newcomers and are not executors at all. They are real characters in the plot, because these people did not appear in the mask. If you look closely, you can see that the four people are three men and one woman. They are all dressed up as standard city people. Among them is a middle-aged bald man who is slightly fat. Looking at the age, he should be over 45 years old. Next to him is a tall and thin man. There is also an ordinary man with an ordinary figure and an ordinary appearance. He is the type that cannot be found in a crowd. Finally, there is a famous man. The young woman with a good face is wearing a light pink top and jeans, giving her a cheerful feeling overall.
In addition to their clothing and appearance, there is another obvious detail, that is, except for the oldest, middle-aged bald man, the other three of these people are carrying cameras and other shooting equipment. Currently, the four of them are not moving, but are all moving. Sitting under a tree or on a stone by the roadside, everyone was panting. From time to time, someone would reach out and wipe a handful of sweat from their foreheads.
Getting back to the topic, as the transparent mask disappeared on its own, some of the conversations that were previously blocked by the mask were instantly heard by everyone:
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Let me tell you, Mr. Liu, when will we arrive at Qiuye Village? We have been walking for more than an hour? Why is there still a mountain road ahead?"
The one who spoke was the tall man. He was currently wiping his sweat and panting while asking the bald man about the distance. His words were full of complaints. Perhaps the tall man's complaining inquiry made the bald man a little dissatisfied. The other party's voice was fierce. The bald man who was called Mr. Liu immediately became unhappy and said to him on the spot with a tone of hatred for iron and steel: "I said Xiao Song, are you really so tired? And so are you. Are you so tired after walking on a mountain road for an hour? When I was young, my physical strength was not as bad as yours. Hey, young people today really lack exercise. Fortunately, we are a newspaper office and not a sports association, otherwise you would not have the same physique. qualified."
Mr. Liu was startled when he said this. Maybe he felt that it was inappropriate to kill a group of people with a stick, especially after looking at Zhao Ping and others opposite him, he paused. Mr. Liu immediately changed his words, pointed at Zhao Ping and continued: "Look at Zhao Ping and the others, why are they different from you? We have also walked for an hour, and you are the only one who is tired, right?"
"Wait a minute, Mr. Liu, what you said is wrong. Zhao Ping and the others are all new employees who have joined recently. They are still in a healthy period. I bet that as long as they stay in our newspaper for a year, they will also become like We are so weak and completely exhausted from endless late nights and overtime work.”
"What are you talking about? If you are dissatisfied with me, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush, and who in our industry doesn't do that? After all, what the newspaper wants is to publish the latest news quickly. If you don't work overtime, will it be postponed until tomorrow?"
Let's not talk about what these people said later. In fact, when they heard the word 'newspaper office' and from the words of these people who seemed to be familiar with their own people, the executor already understood the cause and effect. At the same time, a paragraph seemed to appear out of thin air. The information instantly appeared in everyone's mind, and the information was exactly the identity that the curse had set for everyone, a newspaper reporter.
Yes, through this memory that popped up out of thin air, the executor headed by Zhao Ping not only confirmed the identity of his newspaper reporter, but also obtained all the information of four men and women. The bald man named Mr. Liu was The editor-in-chief of a medium-sized newspaper, named Liu Guangshui, is also the superior of everyone present. The tall man who complained first is named Song Zhi, who is the newspaper's cameraman. The man with an average appearance is named Liu. Lang, as for the woman who looks about the same age as Tang Meng, her name is Zhou Xiaolan. Like Liu Lang, both of them are ordinary reporters. Of course, the executor headed by Zhao Ping currently also plays the role of reporter, and Liu Lang Lang and others are colleagues
Some people may want to ask after seeing this, if the executioner is cursed and coerced into not coming, then why are the four newspaper reporters headed by Liu Guangshui here? The reason is simple. It is the National Day holiday. Although the National Day holiday is here, Liu Guangshui, as a leader, is reluctant to pay bonuses to his employees. Faced with the strong demands of many employees, Editor Liu, who is good at adapting to changes, found another way and turned to leading everyone. Travel in lieu of bonuses.
Although traveling, Editor Chen is not a fool. In fact, he has already made up his mind to find a village with decent scenery to stay for a few days. It is called visiting the farm style. In this way, he It will undoubtedly save a lot of money!
I didn’t expect Liu Guangshui to be so stingy! In order to save money, even this method was used. Although they were unwilling to do so, everyone had no choice but to nod in agreement under Liu Guangshui's prior statement that if he didn't go there, they would have nothing. At this point, they agreed to Editor Liu's travel plan. First, people with big bags and small bags followed Editor Chen to C City by car, and then led by Chen Guangshui and walked straight towards a nearby place called Hengming Mountain. According to a good friend of Editor Chen who lives in C City, , there is a remote village called Qiuye Village near Hengming Mountain, and the village is isolated from the rest of the world all year round. If you want to experience the farm style, you are right to go there.
"By the way, Mr. Liu, there is one more thing I almost forgot to mention. We have agreed to travel, but why do you have to force us to carry equipment with us? Others are fine, just bring a camera and some pen and paper. But I still have to carry a camera on my back to climb mountains! Even though it’s a small camera, it’s still quite heavy. It’s hard to be tired after walking on such a mountainous road for a long time.”
Since he really couldn't talk about Liu Guangshui on work issues, and saw that Liu Guangshui was plausibly reprimanded, Song Zhi became even more unhappy, so he changed the topic with a look of mourning on his face and moved the topic to the heavy equipment he carried with him. The implication was a clear reminder to Liu Guangshui. It’s not that I’m physically incompetent, it’s just that the equipment I carry is heavier than others!
What Song Zhi said was all the truth, and as soon as his words came out, they quickly aroused the resonance of others. As Song Zhi took the lead in complaining, Zhou Xiaolan, who was sitting next to him, also rubbed his sore ankles and casually said with displeasure. : "That's right, it's neither an interview nor an important job, why do you still need to bring these things with you when traveling?"
As the saying goes, if there is one, there are two. Seeing Zhou Xiaolan supporting Song Zhi, Liu Lang, who seemed the most honest, nodded in agreement.
(Damn! You are teaming up to deal with me!)
Seeing that everyone was tending to point the finger at him, Liu Guangshui secretly exclaimed that something was wrong. But then again, even if he felt something was wrong and felt unhappy, he was a leader after all. As a leader, he was naturally very eloquent. He first stood up from the ground. He stood up, then shook his head and calmly defended: "What do you know? Don't forget what we people do? We are journalists. Just like soldiers must have guns, these shooting tools are our bread. If you want to become a Qualified reporters should be good at exploring surrounding news in addition to work. If they find valuable news on the road and report it in time, it will be enough to change the future of our newspaper. I mean this with good intentions, just like the Akiye Village we are about to arrive. , it is also a kind of development to interview the local customs and customs while traveling."
Seeing that the three old employees were speechless after being refuted by him, Chief Editor Liu stopped talking and did not continue speaking. Instead, he turned his head to the opposite side as if he thought of something, and looked at Zhao Ping and the other executors who were silent throughout the whole process. Of course, the executor naturally knew that his reporter identity was fake, but under the influence of the curse, in Liu Guangshui's eyes, the reporter identities of this group of people were real. Not only was it true, they were also his employees. He is a new reporter who recently joined the newspaper.
Different from his bad attitude towards old employees, Liu Guangshui showed a kind expression when looking at the new reporters, and at the same time asked: "Hey, Zhao Ping, are you tired?"
It is said that only smart people can deeply understand the thoughts of their superiors. This statement is true. As soon as Liu Guangshui opened his mouth, the executor immediately understood what the other party meant. Facing the inquiry, Zhao Ping smiled, smiled and shook his head to express that he was not tired, while Chen Shuihong said He simply added with a flattering smile on his face: "Mr. Liu, look at what you said, why are you tired? You went to all the trouble to take everyone out for a trip. Even you are not tired. What do we have to be tired of? You Say so?"
"Haha, Brother Chen, you are exaggerating. I just want to take everyone out to relax. I'm tired if I get tired. It's no big deal."
As expected of a cunning old man who has been in the officialdom for decades, his ability to flatter leaders is simply superb. As expected, when Zhao Ping smiled and shook his head to show that he was not tired, and was flattered by Chen Shuihong, Liu Guangshui was extremely satisfied. ! Liu Guangshui smiled and waved modestly, and Liu Guangshui was satisfied. However, the three old employees sitting next to him were so angry at Chen Shuihong's flattery that they all cursed this person in their hearts for being shameless. He was obviously just a new employee who had just joined. Unexpectedly, he is so good at flattering others! What did this guy do before?
Let’s not mention Chen Shuihong’s previous occupation. No one would care about it anyway. Liu Guangshui was very satisfied when he saw that all the new employees had good attitudes. After a few words of modesty, Editor Liu returned to the topic and first looked at the time on his watch. , and then told everyone: "Okay, it's almost time to rest, and it's almost 11:30. Let's get up and continue on the road, trying to reach Qiuye Village before noon!"
