As mentioned many times in the past, there is an upper limit to a person's physical and mental abilities. Once the upper limit is exceeded, the consequences will often be very serious. Yes, because she ran for too long before, Cheng Ying is currently completely exhausted. Physical energy was exhausted, and physical energy has always been linked to mental energy. As expected, as she stopped running and returned to normal, unimaginable fatigue swept through Cheng Ying's body like a tide in an instant, causing her brain to feel dizzy, her vision blurred, and her body even more so. It swayed like a tree that had lost its foundation, and finally collapsed and fell without any suspense!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Squirming, obviously trying to resist the sleepiness and struggle to get up, but unfortunately she failed. Under the pressure of the turbulent sea of ​​exhaustion, Cheng Ying's brain finally went to sleep on its own. Before she fell into coma, she only had time to say one sentence:

"Zhao Ping, Tang Meng, the situation has changed. This is no ordinary hallucination!"

The bright sunshine is shining all over the earth, and the sun is still selflessly providing nutrients for many seedlings. In the fields, the villagers are sweating like rain and working hard, and they are busy with farm work with the help of cattle. Perhaps in the eyes of the villagers, today is still an ordinary day. But in the eyes of a certain man with glasses, today is most likely the day when he will ascend to bliss.

Grain drying farm in Qiuye Village.

At this moment, in this complex environment full of semicircular grain stacks, Zhao Ping was hiding behind a pile of grain stacks and suppressing his breath. His whole body was tense and silent.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock, tick tock.

During the silence, cold sweat flowed from the man's forehead, and Sven's face became paler. If he had the chance, he would definitely move his position and escape from here, but in reality he had no chance, and there was no possibility of escape. He could not even escape from the barn now. He didn't even dare to move, lest he make any noise and be discovered by 'her'!

At the same time, on the right side behind the grain stack where Zhao Ping was hiding, shrouded in billowing black mist, a red-clothed female ghost with a hairy hair was floating slowly in mid-air, and finally passed silently through the edge of the grain stack next to the man. .

It was obvious that Zhao Ping was hiding, using the large number of grain stacks to hide his body from the search of the female ghost in red. Although the female ghost did not find Zhao Ping for the time being, she seemed to believe that her prey was nearby. , never left, instead wandering around the barnyard. In order to prevent being found by the female ghost, Zhao Ping hid carefully, like a mouse being chased by a cat, and was in panic all day long.

Of course, even if he was frightened by the female ghost and his hair stood on end, after the female ghost in red passed by, Zhao Ping still raised his trembling right hand, then tremblingly raised his glasses. After instinctively holding the glasses on the bridge of his nose, the man's lips He moved slightly, and then said two words in a voice so small that even he could hardly hear it clearly:

"Hallucination."

……………

The strength of a wise man often depends on the level of analysis of the problem, including whether he can see the root cause of the problem in a short time. If a person can find the root cause of the problem in a short time without any reminder, then this kind of person is the best. This time there is also a level of intelligence that exceeds that of ordinary people. As for what he will do next, it depends on the person's personality.

"Hallucination."

This is a word that Zhao Ping instinctively said while hiding, and 'hallucination' is indeed the only answer analyzed by the bespectacled man so far. The incident itself is not complicated. Strictly speaking, it can be summarized as an emergency. However, It was precisely this kind of unexpected incident that caught Zhao Ping off guard, forcing him into the dilemma he is in now.

There was no reason or any sign. About 10 minutes ago, when Zhao Ping was conceiving a plan to break the game at the village chief's house, he found that his teammates disappeared en masse, and then he saw a very impressive female ghost. The ghost was none other than the female ghost in red from the last villa mission. Zhao Ping had a vivid memory of the female ghost in red. This was a standard evil ghost. In addition to having the terrifying appearance common to spirits, it was capable of killing people. The method is also an instant kill. He can break a human's neck in an instant. He even almost killed himself at the end of the mission. It is conceivable that under the circumstances that he was already deeply impressed, when the female ghost in red reappeared in front of him. At that time, anyone would be afraid, let alone Zhao Ping who was more afraid of death than most people. Zhao Ping was indeed frightened to death without any suspense. As soon as he saw the female ghost in red, the man with glasses rushed out of the way. He ran away and became a miserable prey being chased by ghosts.

Although the above description is true, Zhao Ping is Zhao Ping after all!

After only running for 1 minute and not even very far, Zhao Ping had already reacted, and as soon as he regained his senses, he quickly discovered Ni Duan, and Ni Duan meant falsehood, so he believed that he had suffered some kind of false hallucination. , the reason is that the female ghost in red has been eliminated. This female ghost who can only emit black mist has been completely destroyed in the last villa mission. What's more, there is still a mission world in a different space in front of us. No matter how you think about it, This kind of cross-border phenomenon will not and cannot happen. If this is the case, then why does the female ghost in red who is supposed to be a villa mission appear in Akiye Village in a different space? The answer is very simple, that is, the female ghost in red is fake, either a phantom of other ghosts or a false phantom that is not real! .

Yes, just after running out of the village chief's house, Zhao Ping quickly solved the answer to the question in just one minute. At the same time, he was also the first executor among all the executors to solve the mystery. His speed was astonishing.

Someone may ask after seeing this, why is Zhao Ping still running? Why is he still panicking and being chased by ghosts even though he knows that the female ghost in red is a false phantom? After all, the female ghost in red is just a false phantom that cannot cause harm to people. As a veteran, Zhao Ping cannot understand that according to common sense, the man with glasses should have calmed down the moment he confirmed the illusion. By the way, the truth is unexpected. Even though he knew that the female ghost in red was a false phantom, Zhao Ping still chose to run away! ?

Why?

The answer is not complicated. That's because Zhao Ping not only discovered that there was something wrong with the female ghost, but also discovered other problems. The most obvious one is...

There is no one in the village.

Running inside the village, no matter where he ran, the surroundings were always empty and dead! .

This is not over yet. If it is obvious that there is no one in the village, then the next step is completely terrifying if you think about it.

That is……

Some village roads have been changed.

In other words, the environment of some villages has quietly changed! ! !

Yes, as a veteran who can survive to this day, Zhao Ping's caution has far exceeded ordinary people's imagination. In fact, as early as the night he entered Qiuye Village, Zhao Ping had intentionally or unintentionally chatted with others. I talked about the general outline of the village with Village Chief Wang, including the number of villagers, village area, village topography, daily customs and other seemingly insignificant things. Finally, I drew a map of Qiuye Village. What does this mean? Very simply, it means that Zhao Ping has a general understanding of the topography of Qiuye Village, knows where is where, and understands any road conditions. This move was originally just an extra step carefully considered by the man with glasses, but he never thought that it would play a key role now! Chased by the female ghost in red, Zhao Ping, who escaped from the village chief's house, quickly discovered something. Except for the most obvious situation that no one in the village was the only one, some road sections that were originally drawn on the map or even seen with his own eyes had deviations. , in the impression that some roads that should have existed disappeared, and roads appeared in places where there should be no roads. Even though this change was very slight, it was still discovered by Zhao Ping, who was good at observing.

Therefore, Zhao Ping noticed something was wrong and decided that the hallucination that was currently covering him was very unusual, and might not even be a regular hallucination. Because he was aware of the unusual nature of the hallucination, and out of caution, Zhao Ping did not dare to stop and face the woman directly. The ghost then continued to run away, and at the same time deliberately avoided those obviously abnormal village roads, and ran exclusively on the roads that existed in his memory, until he escaped into the village grain farm in one breath, and used the grain stacks to hide in an emergency.

At this moment, Zhao Ping was hiding in the barnyard silently under the search of the female ghost in red.

The picture returns to reality.

In the barn, when the female ghost passed by the grain stack and floated away quietly again, the tension was still high. Zhao Ping thought calmly and carefully analyzed the situation before the female ghost noticed him.

(Judging from the female ghost in red and some changes in the environment, it is obvious that I have been attacked by supernatural forces, and it can be basically concluded that it is an illusion, but it is an unusual hallucination. Before understanding the nature of this hallucination, it is difficult to face the female ghost directly. The risk of ghosts is too high, but hiding like this is not an option after all. Well, it seems that we should give priority to cracking the illusion, at least to eliminate this state as soon as possible...)

"call!"

I don't know whether he believed that he was incapable of seeing through the nature of the hallucination or he didn't want to drag it out any longer. In order to prevent him from having too many nightmares at night, Zhao Ping gradually, after a quick thought, took a breath and decided to solve the problem from the root level, and the best way to solve the root cause was It is undoubtedly a cracking illusion!

Just do it when you think of it. As you make up your mind, the next moment, you see Zhao Ping, who was still leaning against the grain stack, moved. First, he cautiously raised his head and glanced around. After confirming that the female ghost in red was still spinning around in the grain field, next, Zhao Ping closed his eyes and concentrated his energy, while his mind frequently repeated a familiar murmur:

"There is no female ghost in red in front of me, everything in the village is normal...".

Yes, this is self-hypnosis, which is an effective way to get rid of falsehood through self-suggestion. Since hallucination is an external signal that affects the human brain through the five senses, the best way to combat such external signals is naturally internal signals. , using self-hypnosis to forcibly offset external influences, and then restore the victim to consciousness. There are also examples of this method. I remember that He Fei had hallucinations in a mission world called "Yin Yang Road", and What he encountered was a real phantom that was more advanced than the hallucination. In order to get rid of the false phantom, He Fei made a desperate move and used self-hypnosis to deal with it, and finally succeeded in breaking free from the illusion! It is conceivable that with the successful case of He Fei, if the man with glasses does not use it, then he is not Zhao Ping.

At this moment, Zhao Ping, who maintained a high concentration of brain energy and had no courage to face the female ghost, decisively adopted hypnosis, using self-suggestion to frequently release internal signals, trying to use the gradually increasing internal brain signals to offset the external signals imposed by hallucinations. , although it is extremely dangerous and even very likely to be discovered by ghosts during hypnosis, but compared with the life-threatening cracking method of facing the female ghost directly, it is actually much safer.

"No... the female ghost in red... everything is normal..."

Time passed quietly under the repetition of the voice in his mind. I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, Zhao Ping suddenly opened his eyes!

As the self-hypnosis was declared over, the next moment, Zhao Ping, keeping his mind clear, raised his head again and scanned the surroundings, following his gaze to the left and right. As far as he could see, he saw the barnyard was empty, and the female ghost in red had been wandering around the scene earlier. I don’t know when she disappeared. No matter how I looked, there was no trace of the female ghost in red! .

(Successful!)

Sure enough, after sticking his head and observing for a long time, Zhao Ping was overjoyed when he confirmed that the female ghost in red had completely disappeared in the barnyard! He concluded that the hypnosis was effective and that he had broken free from the hallucination. Now that the hallucination was gone, he must return to the village chief's house as soon as possible.

So, Zhao Ping moved, and for the first time he emerged from behind the grain stack where he had been hiding for a long time. He was about to leave the grain field, but...

After only walking a few steps, at the moment when the bespectacled man walked around the grain stack and planned to run, as soon as he walked behind the grain stack, the first thing that caught his eye was a face, a pale female face that was no different from paper.

That was a female ghost, the female ghost in red who had no trace just now!

At this moment, the female ghost was floating in front of Zhao Ping, almost face-to-face in front of the man who thought he was safe! ! !

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ping was stunned. He was so frightened by the sudden scene that his mind went blank. Although his mind was blank, in his subconscious, a series of unanswered questions also popped up almost at the same time:

Why?

Why did the female ghost who disappeared appear again? .

Self-hypnosis doesn’t work? Or is it that the female ghost has discovered me a long time ago, and all the previous searches were an illusion?

These were the many doubts that Zhao Ping instinctively had when he saw the female ghost. However, he could not find the answer. It was not because he did not want to calm down and think about it, but because the female ghost was so close in front of him that he was currently facing him. The corners of his mouth raised, revealing a vicious smile in front of his face! ! !

(She is smiling? She is actually smiling? Could it be...)

Seeing the female ghost in red smiling, across from him, Zhao Ping's pupils shrank, and his already pale face turned even bluer!

This was both an expression of extreme fear and a shocked expression of finding an answer, because the moment he saw the female ghost smile, Zhao Ping had already found the answer, a terrifying answer that was equivalent to death for him, that was...

The self-hypnosis just now was indeed successful. The hypnosis that can even break the illusion did help Zhao Ping break away from the hallucination. The evidence is undoubtedly the disappearance of the female ghost in red. Although this is the case, Zhao Ping's break away from the hallucination caused " Her attention finally succeeded in attracting 'her', and at this moment, the so-called 'female ghost in red' that appeared in front of her eyes was not an illusion, but 'her', a life-killing one that could really kill her. Female ghost!

The above description may seem like a lot, but in fact the process is very short. From the discovery of the female ghost appearing in front of my eyes to the moment when the answer comes to my mind, the whole process takes only one second. At this moment, I see the 'red female ghost' with a smile on her face, and then... …

brush!

Zhao Ping reacted, relying on his excellent rationality that completely overwhelmed ordinary people. He was obviously frightened to death, and his soul was clearly out of control. However, the man did not scream, did not collapse, and did not make any meaningless escape movements. Instead, he Before the time was about to reach the second second, he suddenly reached into his pocket, and immediately grabbed the bright bead with a speed comparable to lightning, holding the most powerful supernatural prop among all his props!

Yes, since Chen Xiaoyao had publicly stated that the ghosts were powerful this time, in order to save his life, Zhao Ping decisively sacrificed the Brilliant Bead. Only a bug-like prop like the Brilliant Bead could truly protect him. In order to survive, Zhao Ping instantly Crazy, he suddenly launched the dazzling pearl at a speed comparable to lightning, but...

He stretched out his right hand and moved back and forth very quickly. Unexpectedly, when Zhao Ping took out the bright bead from his pocket, he found that his hand was empty. The red ball in his hand that he had just clenched was inexplicably missing! ! !

(What's going on? Where's the brilliant bead? Why does the item disappear inexplicably after leaving the pocket!?)

Zhao Ping was immediately horrified when he saw the bright pearl disappearing inexplicably! I was about to reach into my pocket again, but...

Snapped!

"Ugh! Ahem!".

As a gust of cold wind blew by, the next moment, Zhao Ping was caught. His arms were tightly grasped by a pair of pale white hands from the ground, and his neck was strangled tightly by the 'female ghost in red'. As soon as he pinched it, an unimaginable and terrifying force hit him instantly!

What's even more frightening is that at the same moment when Zhao Ping's hands were tied around his neck and he was being arrested, if he looked ahead again, he could see that the appearance of the 'female ghost in red' had changed drastically at some point. Instead of a female villa ghost, she was a strange female ghost with a paler face, a more distorted expression, and even bloodier eyes, even so red that she was constantly bleeding!

Atui.

It was the ghost of A Cui who was forced to commit suicide by the villagers! ! !

Seeing the female ghost reveal her true form, at this moment, Zhao Ping's body began to tremble. Although fear accounted for a large proportion, the greater part was pain, the pain of suffocation caused by being unable to breathe! If you observe the scene from a bystander perspective at this moment, you will see a female ghost floating in front of Zhao Ping. The female ghost has her arms stretched out and pinching Zhao Ping. However, Zhao Ping, who was supposed to be struggling, was suddenly grabbed by a pair of stranger's hands from underground, resulting in He didn't even have a chance to raise his hands to struggle, let alone fumble for props to protect himself. In the end, he could only let the female ghost pinch him, while his body gradually twitched under the constant force of the female ghost, and his face became paler and whiter. Even the eyeballs are slightly protruding from the eye sockets! ! !

"Death...die...die..."

This was the voice that Zhao Ping heard vaguely in pain. The voice was full of hatred, as if it came from the eighteenth level of Avici Hell. There was nothing but hatred. As the terrifying voice resounded through the eardrums, the female ghost became more and more powerful. It made Zhao Ping, who was already suffering from suffocation, even more painful. In addition to the suffocation feeling getting stronger, a large ball of foam also came out of the corner of his mouth!

"Ahem! Ahem! Ah, ah ah..."

"Help, help..."

Pain, unimaginable pain is currently squeezing Zhao Ping crazily in front of the female ghost! As a result, his eyes rolled up, he foamed at the mouth, and his twitching body became more violent. Finally, he shook violently like an electric shock. During the shaking, the man whimpered miserably and kept moaning for help. It was obvious that due to his extreme fear of death, the man with glasses wanted to He broke free from the restraints and escaped to heaven, but he couldn't lift his tightly held arms at all. He could only let the female ghost pinch him hard, and his life was rapidly draining away under the female ghost's pinch!

Through his neck, he could feel the surging and majestic power of the female ghost. Zhao Ping was about to die. He had been strangled for a full minute. In addition to the suffocation feeling getting worse, the majestic power was about to strangle his neck. Maybe it was Half a minute later, or maybe the next second, his neck will be broken and he will die. This is true, but...

Zhao Ping doesn't want to die, he wants to live more than anyone else! ! !

(How could this happen? I, I was actually... But this is not the ending I want. My goal has not been achieved yet. I still have a lot of things to do. I am not willing to die like this, not willing!).

"Woo, woo..."

Because he really didn't want to be strangled to death by the female ghost, Zhao Ping struggled forcefully in pain, concentrating all the strength of his body on his left and right arms. At the same time, his eyes were wide open and he struggled desperately. He frantically resisted the restraint of human hands and did not need to make any move. The movement was too big, as long as he could put his hand into his pocket. Yes, when he was about to die, the man released all his potential, completely released his power in order to live, trying to break free from the restrictions in this way, although he didn't know that he was still How long can he live, but as long as he is not completely dead, he will continue to struggle at any cost. The reason for the crazy struggle comes from Tang Meng. I remember that before the mission started, this female doctor who was proficient in psychology once said to him in a chat I once said something, a trial reminder that was very inspiring to Zhao Ping:

"Although you yourself admit that you are afraid of death and that you want to live forever, sometimes your perseverance is not as strong as He Fei's. Faced with a situation where death is 100% certain, you will choose to give up very rationally. Although this move is in line with your Personal character, but it is better to struggle than to give up, even if it is a struggle that you know is useless.”

(You are right, I don’t want to die, so I can’t give up, I have to struggle until the last moment!)

The above is the only thought in Zhao Ping's mind at the moment. In order to survive, the man is struggling with all his strength.

Unfortunately……

Even though he was unwilling to force himself to struggle, there is a limit to human endurance. Under the fierce pinch of the female ghost, Zhao Ping's consciousness gradually began to dissipate. The dissipation of consciousness means the disappearance of physical energy, and the disappearance of physical energy will directly lead to the weakening of the struggle. , finally, as time passed, Zhao Ping's arms stopped moving, his body became calm, and even his head that was originally raised slowly dropped...
