Everyone guessed correctly. As the idea was completed in his mind, Zhao Ping finally announced the room arrangement and decided to open a total of four high-end guest rooms. Among them, Peng Hu, He Fei and Zhao Ping shared one room, and Cheng Ying, Tang Four women, Meng, Kong Ling, and Chen Xiaohui, occupied one room, Chen Xiaoyao, Li Tianheng, and Chen Shuihong shared one room, and the last room was occupied by Han Xuedian, Tian Guohua, and Guo Yao.
(Damn it! I knew it was like this again. This person named Zhao is simply crazy and vicious to the core!)
An extremely abnormal arrangement, a seriously unreasonable arrangement, so to speak, Zhao Ping's arrangement simply demonstrated the unreasonableness to the fullest! Sure enough, after listening to the personnel arrangement of the man with glasses, except for Cheng Ying, who had no expression on her face, and Chen Xiaoyao, who smiled and said nothing during the whole process, the rest of the group's expressions changed drastically! Peng Hu shook his head and felt a knot in his head, and he cursed again in his heart. This damn room arrangement was completely copied from the village mission. All the senior people were gathered together, but newcomers who didn't know anything were squeezed into the same room. This is clearly a trick, and it clearly doesn't care about the life and death of newcomers!
Thinking of this, Peng Hu became more and more dissatisfied and was about to retort, but Cheng Ying, who had been staring at him closely, quickly held him down. The result was certain. Under Cheng Ying's forcible stop, unless Peng Hu planned to fall out with Cheng Ying, Otherwise, you can only bite the bullet and choose silence.
After glaring fiercely at Zhao Ping and Cheng Ying who was forcibly blocking him, the bald man completely silenced himself and stopped talking. But after hearing the arrangement, Han Xuedian was almost scared to the point of peeing! Mother, come again? This time, he was separated from the senior people again. There was no doubt that because he had experienced a supernatural mission, although Han Xuedian did not know much about Zhao Ping, he at least knew that Zhao Ping was not a good person. A despicable villain who will do anything to achieve his goals, a guy who always takes newcomers lightly and even uses them as experimental subjects. It is precisely because he knows some of Zhao Ping's details that he will know the personnel arrangements the next moment. Liver and gallbladder split! If he could, he would like to refute and put forward an opinion right now, but unfortunately, he doesn't dare. Knowing that the man with glasses is vicious, he doesn't even dare to put forward an opinion even if he has the courage to do so, let alone shake his head and refuse, but he has just joined. Tian Guohua and Guo Yao were much calmer. Although they also felt that this arrangement was a little unreasonable, they were newcomers who knew nothing, and they knew absolutely nothing about Zhao Ping. In addition, the newcomers had no Even if they have the right to speak, even if they are confused, they can only obey the arrangement.
So, just like that, under Zhao Ping's obviously extremely unreasonable personnel arrangement, everyone rushed to the second floor after taking a few keys handed over by the receptionist. At the same time, this also meant that from this moment on, the Pandora Hotel became the executive The place where the person has recently stayed.
However, just as the executioners were going upstairs, there was a series of roaring sounds from far to near outside the hotel. Not long after, a fashionable white sports car parked in front of the hotel, and then three young men and women walked out of the car. , were two young girls in their 20s and a young boy of similar age. It seemed that the three of them were college students, and one of the girls and the boy were obviously in a relationship, because after getting off the car, the first thing they did was They hugged each other passionately and kissed each other, but the red-haired girl at the end looked up immediately after getting off the car and was currently staring at the hotel door silently.
……………
The red-haired girl had been staring at the hotel sign since she got out of the car, and she was silent as if in a trance.
At this time, the brown-haired girl who had just kissed her boyfriend came over, first walked to her side and took the red-haired girl's hand, and then said happily: "Hey! Cheer up, finally come out to play, Don't think about what's going on at home, it will ruin the atmosphere."
As a classmate and good friend, the brown-haired girl undoubtedly knew the red-haired girl. She thought she had hit the point, but the red-haired girl shook her head and said, "No, I'm not thinking about things at home." , I mean...well, I mean why do we come to Springwood Town? After all, we have never been here before."
"You're here just because you've never been before? Otherwise, what would you call a trip?" Regarding her friend's so-called answer, the brown-haired girl chuckled and felt that the other person's words were illogical, so she shrugged her shoulders and explained: " In fact, there is nothing we can do. After all, this is the closest town to the city. Our vacation is limited, so the furthest we can go is here."
Nodding, after admitting that what her friend said made sense, the red-haired girl continued with a slightly hesitant tone: "But why should we stay here? Can't we find another hotel?"
Somehow, the red-haired girl was a little resistant to the hotel in front of her, and her words suggested that she didn't want to stay. No one knew why she resisted. Even she couldn't figure out the reason. If she had to forcefully explain it, maybe she would just It can be summarized by intuition. Her personal intuition was quite resistant to Springwood Town, and she even resisted the hotel she was about to stay in. Following her personal intuition, the red-haired girl spoke her mind, but as soon as she finished speaking, the brown-haired girl... He smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think everything is the same as the city? This is a small town, not as prosperous as the city. I have seen the map of Chunmu Town before coming here. In fact, the hotel in front of me is the only hotel in the entire town. Let's There is no choice at all.”
At this point, after looking at each other with her boyfriend who also had a wry smile, she took the red-haired girl's hand and the brown-haired girl changed the subject: "Okay, okay, don't be suspicious. It's rare to come out during the holidays." Come on, Grace, let’s go in quickly.”
………
Taking the room keys, the executors successfully arrived on the second floor and quickly found the room numbers they were about to stay in. Zhao Ping, He Fei and Peng Hu lived in 205, and Chen Xiaoyao, Li Tianheng and Chen Shuihong lived in In 206, four girls, Cheng Ying, Kong Ling, Tang Meng and newcomer Chen Xiaohui, live in 207. The last room 208 belongs to Han Xuedian and three male newcomers. As for why all the rooms are connected together, the answer is undoubtedly for safety. If a certain If something happens to someone in the room, people in other rooms can come to the rescue as soon as possible. Fortunately, it is the off-season for tourism, so it is easy to find several connecting rooms.
Although it was easy to connect the rooms, everyone did not enter their respective rooms immediately after going upstairs. Instead, they walked into Room 205 under Zhao Ping's instructions, obviously planning to gather for a meeting. As an aside, due to personality reasons, the man with glasses had no intention of convening everyone for a meeting at first. It was not until Cheng Ying reminded him quietly that Zhao Ping suddenly realized and immediately issued the order to gather for the meeting. Obviously, compared to He Fei, who often discussed with everyone in groups, and Zhao Ping's behavior were completely opposite. They had no subjective consciousness at all. Because of this, Cheng Ying had to remind everyone that it was necessary for everyone to sit together at times like this. Discuss countermeasures.
Not only that, after entering the room, after a rough observation, I found that the high-end suites here are not high-end, but rather backward. The household appliances inside are all obsolete items. The degree of obsolescence is completely the standard configuration of the last century. The interior The space is also limited. It is divided into four parts: living room, bedroom, toilet and bathroom. Moreover, the toilet is connected with the bathroom, separated by a small door. It is true that this kind of guest room is already in the eyes of others. Not bad, but for an executive who has long been accustomed to living in the presidential suite because he is never short of money, it is still a bit shabby. That is true, but when I think about it again, or when I think of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" Everyone was relieved after it turned out to be an old movie. Yes, if calculated according to the age of the movie, the current time in this world should be around the 1980s and 1990s, even though this is the United States with advanced technology. , but under the constraints of the times, how much better can the conditions be? Not to mention that it was a small town-level hotel in front of me.
Getting back to the topic, after gathering everyone and sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Zhao Ping, as the acting captain, had to say something. Sure enough, after adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose, the man spoke expressionlessly first: "Everyone was here before we came. I know, the difficulty of this mission is a relatively tricky level, and the ghost is the famous dream demon Freddy. Although we don’t know when Freddy will attack us, we can basically be sure that the ghost will meet this time. The main attack is in the dream state, so everyone must take turns to keep vigil when sleeping in their respective rooms at night. Once they notice something abnormal happens to a sleeping teammate, the vigilante must wake him up immediately. In addition, the person being attacked must not If you panic, you must first stay calm, only in this way can you survive the ghost attack."
Zhao Ping's cautious reminder was unanimously approved by everyone, and they agreed. Unfortunately, there was not much substantive content. The essence was just a reminder, without any analysis of the task itself. As for why not analyze it? The reason is not that Zhao Ping doesn't want to, but that he simply doesn't know how to analyze it. After all, everyone knows Freddy's ability, and it is a display of his ability on the surface, but it is also because his ability is on the surface. On the other hand, Zhao Ping had no idea what to do. The reason was that there was no solution to the dream attack. In his impression, other than waking up in time, there seemed to be no other way to deal with it.
Zhao Ping thinks so, why don't others think so? Some people even rushed to make guesses before Zhao Ping, thinking carefully about what is very likely to happen in the future. Just like now, as soon as Zhao Ping finished speaking, Chen Shuihong, who was getting nervous, swallowed his saliva and suddenly answered He said: "Well, I have been thinking about one thing before. Since this mission is based on "A Nightmare on Elm Street" as a template, and the ghost is basically Freddy, then if Freddy attacks us, then Doesn’t it mean that we will be in extreme danger once we sleep? You know what Freddy is best at is killing people in his dreams..."
Chen Shuihong didn't seem to have finished what he said later, but even if he hadn't finished, everyone knew the meaning of the middle-aged fat man's words. So, after listening to Chen Shuihong's uneasy and important reminder, Li Tianheng's originally calm face gradually turned white, and Peng Hu even used Uneasy eyes glanced at the sun that had turned slightly to the west outside the window. Even Chen Xiaoyao, who was free and easy at the beginning, was worried in his heart. He seemed to be thinking about what to do at night, but Tang Meng shook his head decisively after looking at each other and Cheng Ying. At the same time, he said to Chen Shuihong: "Everyone actually knows what you said, so do you mean that as long as we don't sleep, we won't be attacked by Freddy, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean! Although Mr. Zhao has previously stated that seven days without sleep is beyond the endurance limit of ordinary people, but we are not ordinary people after all. We are executors. Let's not mention anything else. The willpower is stronger than that of ordinary people. If we force ourselves to hold on, we can actually go without sleep for 7 days."
Yes, this is Chen Shuihong's most true inner thought at the moment, and the idea is just as mentioned above. Even if ordinary people cannot do it without sleeping for 7 days, executors can do it, especially senior people. Almost everyone can It can be done. In fact, as long as they are willing, everyone will be able to hold on for 7 days. Because of this, the meaning of Chen Shuihong's words is obvious, that is, don't sleep at all and just rely on perseverance to hold on for 7 days. Forget it, as long as everyone doesn't sleep from beginning to end, Freddy, who seems to only be able to attack humans in his sleep, will naturally be no threat.
The truth seems to be correct, but unfortunately...
Facing Chen Shuihong's affirmative nod, except for the newcomers who were interested, most of the seniors showed bitter expressions. Tang Meng answered and explained on behalf of everyone: "Okay, I admit that Brother Chen, what you said is correct. To a certain extent, it is logical. It is indeed very possible to avoid Freddy’s dream attack if you don’t sleep, but you have ignored two problems!"
"Huh?"
Sure enough, seeing Peng Hu and others showing bitterness on their faces, and seeing Tang Meng shaking his head in denial, Chen Shuihong felt curious and hurriedly asked, "What's the problem?"
"Ahem."
As the saying goes, professionals should be responsible for explaining professional issues, and as a doctor, Tang Meng is indeed qualified to explain on behalf of everyone. First, he coughed lightly, and then Tang Meng explained to Chen Shuihong and even all the newcomers: "Two questions , First of all, the time limit of this mission is 7 days, so the first one is naturally the sleep problem. Normal people will become extremely sleepy if they don't sleep for 24 hours. Sleepiness will lead to slow reaction, physical weakness, mental fatigue, etc. On the negative side, if you don't sleep for 72 hours in a row, that is, three days, the above functions will further decline. But if you don't sleep for 168 hours in a row, that is, seven days, in most cases, humans will have a very high chance of sudden death. Even if they don't die, In fact, under the influence of excessive exhaustion, the whole body will become paralyzed and become a cripple, so..."
"So your suggestion is not medically valid." Cheng Ying said this on behalf of Tang Meng. After hearing this, everyone nodded, and Chen Shuihong's mouth twitched after getting a reasonable medical answer, but soon The fat man changed the subject and continued to ask: "What about the second item? What about the second question?"
Seeing that Chen Shuihong still refused to give up, Tang Meng did not speak immediately, but looked at Zhao Ping subconsciously. It was not until he confirmed that the man with glasses had no intention of speaking that Tang Meng turned around again, and then explained to Chen Shuihong in a pointing tone: "Continuing from the previous question, let's take a step back and say, even if we can insist on not sleeping for 7 days, do you think we will be 100% safe?"
Realizing that there was something in Tang Meng's words, Chen Shuihong gradually showed a thoughtful expression. However, Han Xuedian and the three newcomers who were observing the whole process were confused. Because they wanted to know the exact answer, Han Xuedian finally couldn't help it. So he had the courage to ask: "Wait a minute, Miss Tang, what do you mean by this? Difficult, isn't it possible to ensure safety even if you don't sleep?"
Since the purpose of everyone gathering in the living room was to discuss issues, when faced with Han Xuedian’s curious questioning, Tang Meng continued without hesitation: “The meaning is very simple, that is, our way of understanding needs to be corrected. First, we must know the name of this mission. It's called "Nightmare on Nightmare" rather than "A Nightmare on Elm Street". Although the ghost is basically still Freddy, the tasks based on the movie as a template are often different from the original movie. In fact, the original movie only has reference value and is not realistic. But you can't rely entirely on the original movie, otherwise you will die miserably."
In fact, Tang Meng just said that these are all copied from He Fei, and He Fei has said these words to everyone a long time ago, that is, the supernatural mission is not the same as the original movie. Perhaps a certain mission seems to be a perfect replica of a certain movie. movie, but supernatural missions are ultimately controlled by curses, and curses have always been sinister and vicious, so any executor with some mission experience knows that supernatural missions cannot be linked to the original movie. To give a simple example, although everyone knows that they are currently We are in a world that is basically the same as "A Nightmare on Elm Street", but who can guarantee that Freddy has not been cursed and strengthened? Who can guarantee that his ability is limited to killing people in dreams? If Freddy hides some of his abilities or simply has some kind of hypnotic ability, the situation will become more serious. At the same time, this is also the main reason why Tang Meng borrowed He Fei's words to remind everyone. To put it simply, it can understood as...
Under the full control of the curse, the threat of ghosts is destined to be inevitable. The threat will not be reduced just because you don't sleep. After all, it is a difficult task. If you can get through it safely without sleeping, then you are going too far. Look down on the curse!
Therefore, sleep and rest have become inevitable. If you stay awake all the time, your mental and physical fitness will drop significantly. It is conceivable that when both mental and physical fitness are sharply reduced, once you encounter danger, you will be in danger. It is impossible to resist and escape.
】
Tang Meng's logical analysis completely solved everyone's doubts, and Tang Meng is indeed a smart person who is good at analysis. Even if he is not as good as He Fei and Zhao Ping, he actually surpasses other executors. Of course, this is not the current situation. The focus of everyone's consideration is that after a discussion, everyone has now reached a consensus, that is, before finding a way out of this mission, the team can only be cautious. In addition to trying to avoid being alone as much as possible, they must also Keep vigil carefully, and if any abnormality is found in a sleeping companion, the night watcher must wake him up as soon as possible. After all, this is the only way to counter Freddy's dream attack.
Now that the idea has been decided, the next thing is simple. For safety reasons, the executors gathered in Room 205 throughout the day. During the dinner, they also called the waiter to deliver the meal to their door. The end of the dinner meant that night was coming, and with the sky outside the window, It turned completely dark. Next, except for Zhao Ping and the three people who lived here, no matter whether they were willing or not, everyone else could only say goodbye and leave, returning to their respective rooms.
The first day of the supernatural mission, time, 20:05 at night.
Town hotel, 2nd floor, room 206.
Let’s not mention what the other executors are currently doing in the room, but at least one thing is certain, that is, Chen Xiaoyao is not lazy. He has done everything he needs to do. In fact, he has already done it before leaving. He took out the Taoist talismans and distributed them to everyone one by one. Maoshan's unique detection talisman was indeed posted in their respective rooms. Although the missing ones must be useful, it is better than nothing.
Snapped!
"Okay, let's finish the work! I've finished all the work that I have to do. Next, let's discuss the order of the night's vigil."
As a free and easy young man who is sometimes even more optimistic than He Fei, Chen Xiaoyao had just put the Taoist charm on the wall, and he turned around and shouted, intending to discuss the vigil issue with Li Tianheng, who was currently uneasy. , but it was a pity that Li Tianheng ignored him and was just looking around aimlessly. Even Chen Shuihong, who always liked to answer conversations, was doing exactly the same observation action. After watching for a long time, the two of them looked at Chen Xiaoyao in astonishment. After breaking free and regaining consciousness, Li Tianheng then said in an uncertain tone: "Why does the temperature in this room feel a bit high?"
"Yeah, I also feel that the temperature in the room is a little high." As soon as Li Tianheng finished speaking, Chen Shuihong nodded in agreement. The fact is just as the two of them described one after another. It is different from the room 205 where they were just now. In Room 206, the two collectively discovered that the temperature was slightly higher. Although it was not obvious overall, it was still enough for the human body to detect. Out of curiosity, the two instinctively looked around the living room until they confirmed that there was nothing abnormal in the room. They scratched their heads. Li Tianheng was the first to describe the discovery. As for Chen Xiaoyao...
"What? The temperature is high, well...it feels a little bit, but it's normal. After all, the current season in this world is at the beginning of summer, so a little heat is nothing, right? Hey, aren't you two nervous? Bar?"
Pointing to the electronic calendar on the wall of the living room, Chen Xiaoyao held the opposite opinion, unlike Li Tianheng and the other two who were suspicious. He personally did not think that the slightly higher temperature in the room was abnormal. The reason was that he believed in his detection talisman and determined that Li Chen The two of them are neurotic. As for whether they are neurotic or not? The answer can be found from the performers in other rooms.
Almost at the same time, when Li Tianheng and Chen Shuihong were staying in the living room and looking suspicious, Cheng Ying next door also showed a vague expression of suspicion.
