It was as if he had just had an extremely terrible nightmare. As soon as he opened his eyes, the young man put his hands on the ground and gasped for breath. Now he is holding his hands on the ground with a look of shock on his face. In addition to his eyes wide open and breathing frantically, he is sweating so much. It dripped down his forehead like a downpour, and he was frightened out of his wits!
This Taoist priest from Maoshan, who was usually not afraid of ghosts, showed for the first time a fear reaction like that of a normal person, and it was an unprecedented level of extreme fear!
Because the fear completely exceeded the limit of endurance, his body trembled crazily, his limbs trembled frequently, and even his teeth collided and rattled in his mouth, until...
"Okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay..." Until a beautiful white arm took him into his arms, until a gentle and low caress came from his ear, and his face was straight. Close to his soft chest, Chen Xiaoyao relaxed slightly as if he had found a safe haven. Of course, even if he relaxed slightly, the strong fear had not faded away. He was still trembling. After a long time, his separated soul He had just returned, and his extreme fear had subsided. As the fear gradually receded, it was only then that he barely recovered the various perceptions that humans should have. When his perceptions were restored, there were bursts of cheers full of fear in the tone. Flooding into the eardrums like a tide: "Not dead, this kid is not dead!"
"Brother Chen, you're awake, that's great, that's great!"
"As expected of Mr. Zhao, your strategy is really powerful. You can actually save people in this way? I, Old Chen, are completely convinced!" Following the voice, he instinctively looked up. The first thing he saw was the bedroom, which was brightly lit. Peng Hu was clenching his fists in shock, Li Tianheng was staring at him with excitement, Chen Shuihong was shaking his fat and praising Zhao Ping, using all the words he could think of to praise the man with glasses, while Han Xuedian and Tian Guohua next to him were both stunned. He stood there dumbfounded as if something miraculous that no one could understand had just happened. As for Cheng Ying... Feeling the warm embrace that was clinging tightly to his face, Chen Xiaoyao looked up and realized that he had I don't know when I was held in the arms of the female killer, and the comforting voice just now came from Cheng Ying.
Yes, because Chen Xiaoyao has an irreplaceable position in Cheng Ying's heart, in fact, Cheng Ying has been frightened from the moment Chen Xiaoyao fell into sleep. Although she did not show it on her face like Peng Hu or Li Tianheng, But she was no less worried about Chen Xiaoyao than the above two people. Especially when she found that Chen Xiaoyao was bleeding all over and was about to die, Cheng Ying was almost scared out of her mind at that time!
It wasn't until Tang Meng carried out the plan to rescue Chen Xiaoyao at Zhao Ping's reminder that Cheng Ying barely recovered. As soon as Chen Xiaoyao woke up, looking at the young man's extremely frightened look, the female killer instinctively comforted her, and then released a trace of energy that could only be found in important companions. The rare tenderness that only appeared in front of him actually took the initiative to pull Chen Xiaoyao, who was trembling all over, into his arms.
But unfortunately... although the tenderness has been reflected, this tenderness is destined to be short-lived. Just like now, it is only a moment to confirm that the young man in his arms has recovered. Before Chen Xiaoyao can react, he hugged the other person and whispered softly. The comforted Cheng Ying changed her face instantly!
The gentleness just now disappeared, replaced by the most common indifferent face. First, he pushed Chen Xiaoyao away, then he frowned and ran to the opposite side, rushing to the bedside where Tang Meng was covered in blood. !
......... When Chen Xiaoyao broke free from fear and came to his senses, he saw many scenes, including a group of familiar teammates and the real world before him. Together with them, there were two people who led him to It was unexpected to be stunned again.
On the bed, a second self appeared. Another Chen Xiaoyao whose appearance was exactly the same as his was already dead!
On the bed covered with blood, "Chen Xiaoyao" was currently lying. His body was bruised and bruised, and his head had long been separated from his body. He was already dead and could not die again.
In addition, Tang Meng, who was beside the bed, had also collapsed on the ground at some point. There were many cuts and scratches on her body, and blood was slowly flowing out along the wounds, as if she was seriously injured.
The above are the two scenes that Chen Xiaoyao couldn't understand the most after he woke up. Because the scenes were so weird, for a while, he finally got out of his fear and regained consciousness and was stunned again. And just when Chen Xiaoyao was stunned While in a daze, Cheng Ying also came to the seriously injured Tang Meng, and immediately took out bandages and medicine to bandage him. The others all looked at Zhao Ping. Attracted by others, Chen Xiaoyao also took the opportunity to cast doubtful eyes on the man with glasses. , as expected, his 'resurrection from the dead' should be closely related to this person named Zhao.
so……
"Hey, Senior Zhao, can you tell me what's going on?" Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoyao immediately asked Zhao Ping a question.
This is the thought, and the same is the fact. First of all, it is certain that Chen Xiaoyao guessed correctly. His 'resurrection from the dead' just now is indeed related to Zhao Ping. Not only is it related, it can even be said that the reason why he can continue to live is basically Zhao Ping. credit!
Because of this, while Cheng Ying was bandaging Tang Meng's wound, the man adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and admitted frankly: "Well, the reason why you were able to come out of the dream world and even survive by chance, on the surface is true. It has something to do with me, but in a practical sense, it is not me who saves you, but Tang Meng, I just gave her a wake-up call." At this point, Chen Xiaoyao did not wait for a response. After a pause, the man continued to add: "Also, if you want to know what's going on, you can just take a look at what you have in your hand." Huh?
Sure enough, after being reminded by the man with glasses, Chen Xiaoyao quickly looked down at his hands. When he looked down, he realized that he was holding something in his right hand. It was a doll, a weird doll that was only half the size of a palm.
Yes, when he saw the puppet in his hand, Chen Xiaoyao already understood it and vaguely guessed what happened before. It is conceivable that even Chen Xiaoyao, who suddenly came to his senses, could see the puppet in the moment. He realized that the rest of the people who had witnessed the whole process before did not need to say more. Since he knew more than Chen Xiaoyao, seeing the young Taoist priest surprised and stunned, Li Tianheng quickly jumped out to explain: "Brother Chen, this time you are I have to thank Zhao Ping and Sister Tang Meng, especially Sister Tang Meng. Without her, you would have really died just now!" Through Li Tianheng's detailed explanation, all Chen Xiaoyao's confusion was answered, and the answer was just like what Zhao Ping had just said. As explained, it was Tang Meng who really saved him, or rather the doll belonging to Tang Meng, a supernatural prop called the 'Split Doll'.
First of all, it is certain that since it is known that anyone dragged into the dream by Freddy cannot be woken up from the outside, so in a sense, the moment Chen Xiaoyao was dragged into the dream, his death was basically doomed, unless Chen Xiaoyao was dragged into the dream. Xiaoyao has the ability to wake up on his own, otherwise no matter how long he persists in the dream or how long he resists, the final outcome of death will not change. Knowing this, after trying many methods but unable to wake up Chen Xiaoyao, Zhao Ping suppressed his nervousness, and then returned to the living room to think about countermeasures while Chen Xiaoyao was still struggling in his dream. Not to mention, Zhao Ping was Zhao Ping. Once he calmed down completely, his thinking activity was comparable to that of a high-speed train. The engine was running, and after just thinking for a moment, he found a theoretically feasible way to save people. Although it could not make Chen Xiaoyao directly escape from the dream, it could still allow him to return to reality in disguise, and that was the doll. , it is the split doll that belongs to Tang Meng.
The specific effect of splitting the doll is that when a person is about to die, as long as he is holding a doll in his hand, when he is fatally attacked, the doll will split itself into a stand-in for the user that is exactly the same as the original body. It is said to be a substitute, but this kind of substitute is also a real existence of flesh and blood, and is no different from the main body. As the substitute is split, 70% of the damage suffered by the main body will be transferred to the substitute. To put it bluntly, it will die on the user's behalf. , since the split doll has such a miraculous effect, and Tang Meng himself has used the doll to save his life several times, then why can't the doll be used by others?
Yes, this is the solution that Zhao Ping finally came up with after some analysis. Some kind of rescue method that can theoretically help Chen Xiaoyao escape from the dream. The reason why the word 'theoretically' is added in front is because Zhao Ping Ping is not 100% sure that this plan is feasible. After all, Tang Meng said that if you want to use the split doll, in addition to holding the doll to make contact, the user must also have the thought of survival in his mind. In other words, the only way to use The puppet can only be activated if the person has a persevering thought of survival in his mind. However, Chen Xiaoyao is currently deep in a dream, completely cut off from the outside world and unable to receive any information from the outside world. Without information, he cannot know himself. There is a doll in his hand, so Tang Meng is not sure whether Chen Xiaoyao in the dream will collapse and despair before death. Once the thought of survival disappears, even if there is a doll in his hand, the actual doll will not be activated and cannot be activated. , Chen Xiaoyao is really dead.
There is another point worth mentioning, that is... Zhao Ping once deliberately delayed time! It was obvious that he had found a way that could theoretically help Chen Xiaoyao escape from the dream and return to reality, but Zhao Ping did not tell everyone at that time, let alone immediately go to the bedroom to launch a rescue plan, and instead spent time in the living room, talking to Everyone talked about the potion issue, and just let Chen Xiaoyao struggle in his dream!
I don’t deny that the issue of medicine is also very important, but compared with Chen Xiaoyao who can die at any time, it is still a bit different and even unclear about the priorities. It was not until Li Tianheng, who was in charge of the care, issued a warning that Chen Xiaoyao was about to die, that Zhao Ping led everyone back. In the bedroom, it was only at this moment that the man reminded Tang Meng and told her that your split doll might be able to save Chen Xiaoyao!
Why? Why did the plan have to be implemented when Chen Xiaoyao was about to die? The reason is very simple, and the reason comes precisely from the 'disguised rescue' mentioned above!
As was confirmed early on, due to the specific function of the split doll, in fact the doll can only replace death, but it can never pull people out of the dream space. What does this mean?
It means that if you want to save Chen Xiaoyao, you can only choose the time when Chen Xiaoyao is about to die. When Chen Xiaoyao is about to die, put the doll into the hands of the Taoist priest, and then wait and see what happens. It all depends on God's will to see if the doll can It was activated when Chen Xiaoyao died, and this is the true meaning of 'rescuing people in disguise'.
As a result... a miracle happened. The moment Tang Meng stuffed the split doll into Chen Xiaoyao's hand, Chen Xiaoyao in the dream was also fatally attacked. In the dream, Chen Xiaoyao was beheaded by Freddy. , and in reality, Chen Xiaoyao, who was sitting cross-legged and sleeping, also had his neck broken and died on the spot!
However, because Chen Xiaoyao was unwilling to die from the beginning to the end, even when he died, he still retained the thought of survival in his mind, and did not give up in despair throughout the process. With the thought of survival, the split doll in his hand would not be affected. Activate at the same time without any suspense!
With the self-activation of the split doll, Chen Xiaoyao came back to life. The moment his neck was broken, the doll split into a real stand-in that looked exactly the same as Chen Xiaoyao. The unique effect caused him to bounce to the side and fall directly from the bed. It is conceivable that since the double is exactly the same as the original body, in a sense, Freddy did kill Chen Xiaoyao, but he just killed Chen Xiaoyao. It's just another Chen Xiaoyao. Since the double has been killed by Freddy instead of the real body, then naturally there is nothing wrong with Chen Xiaoyao's real body. So, as soon as Chen Xiaoyao bounces off the ground, Chen Xiaoyao wakes up and returns to reality in an instant. Breaking free from the shackles of dreams in disguise!
However, there is also something weird, or the only thing that is beyond the expectations of Zhao Ping and everyone.
According to the prop rule that the dead body of the stand-in will also bear 30% of the damage, just when everyone thought that the surviving Chen Xiaoyao would still be seriously injured, Tang Meng standing next to him was bleeding all over his body without any warning, and his body appeared out of thin air. Lots of scars!
This...it was Chen Xiaoyao who clearly used the puppet, but the side effects derived from the prop were not reflected on Chen Xiaoyao. Instead, Tang Meng, the owner of the prop, was suddenly seriously injured and took the backlash of the prop on Chen Xiaoyao's behalf. Thirty percent of Xiaoyao's injuries actually appeared on Tang Meng!
At this moment, the female doctor was covered in blood, and her body was covered with many horrific wounds that looked like cuts by sharp knives!
"Woo!" The pain caused Tang Meng to collapse on the spot and his face turned pale. In addition to moaning continuously, large beads of sweat frequently fell down his forehead like streams. Everyone was stunned. Almost everyone's brains were spinning when they witnessed this scene. I don't understand what's going on at all. Why is it that Tang Meng is responsible for the damage caused by Chen Xiaoyao's use of the doll?
If the seniors still know the effects of the dolls, and what is currently surprising is Tang Meng's inexplicable injury, then as newcomers Han Xuedian and Tian Guohua are completely confused, in their inexperienced brains , is currently filled with a lot of question marks, why?
Why did Chen Xiaoyao, who was supposed to die, split into two instantly when he died? One had his head broken and was killed on the spot, while the other rolled under the bed unscathed?
And why did Tang Meng get injured inexplicably while he was awake? what happened? What exactly is going on!
? What exactly happened? Han Xuedian and Tian Guohua definitely couldn't find the answer. Even if it was an answer, they couldn't even hope to find it. Even the senior people were currently silent on Tang Meng's extremely unreasonable injury issue. Fortunately, Cheng Ying responded As soon as possible, Tang Meng fell to the ground crying out in pain. Holding a backpack full of medicine, Cheng Ying immediately treated him and started applying medicine and bandaging.
"How's it going? Now you finally understand, right? It was Sister Tang Meng who saved you. If it weren't for Sister Tang Meng's doll, Brother Chen, you would really be dead. I, I will never see you again. "It's gone." Compared to Tang Meng's inexplicable injury, Li Tianheng obviously cared more about Chen Xiaoyao. In the personal heart of the glitchy young man, Chen Xiaoyao was no longer just a companion and friend, but a life and death brother with whom he had a life-and-death relationship. He wants Chen Xiaoyao to die more than anyone else. If possible, he would even trade his own life for Chen Xiaoyao's life. Because of this, after seeing Chen Xiaoyao escape from the dream and survive, Li Tianheng has maintained his attitude until now. He was so emotional that his eyes were red and full of tears.
As for Chen Xiaoyao...
"Haha, okay, okay, brother, what are you doing? Didn't Pindao survive? You should be happy now!" Seeing the glitchy young man showing his true feelings, in front of him, Chen Xiaoyao, who was still immersed in astonishment just now, completely After understanding, he raised his hand and patted Li Tianheng on the shoulder, and then burst into laughter. Obviously, after confirming that he had escaped from the dream and survived, Chen Xiaoyao's true nature was exposed and he once again became the optimistic and cheerful Taoist priest. .
"Hey! Brother Peng!" As expected of a Maoshan Taoist priest who has been practicing Taoism for many years and has a good attitude. He almost died just now, but after learning the cause and effect of the incident, Chen Xiaoyao became active again. He first patted Li Tianheng and cried with joy. Shoulder, he bumped fists with Peng Hu, who was full of joy, and then calmly accepted Chen Shuihong's very timely flattery: "Brother Chen, you are so awesome. As expected of you, you can actually survive Freddy's pursuit. I persisted for nearly 5 hours. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have lasted even half an hour. I have to say, brother, you are really amazing! Of course, in the final analysis, I still have to thank Mr. Zhao and Miss Tang." As a person who is better than a fox, Chen Shuihong, a shrewd and smooth officialdom veteran who mastered the art of language, not only praised Chen Xiaoyao's prowess, but also did not forget to add Zhao Ping and Tang Meng together. It perfectly explained what it means to please both sides without offending each other, but it was also Because of Chen Shuihong's reminder, everyone who was already confused about Tang Meng's injury was now even more confused, so...
"What the hell is going on? It's obviously Chen Xiaoyao who uses the puppet, but why does the damage come to Tang Meng? Hey! Cheng Ying, please be gentle, don't hurt the girl!"
"Yes, even though the doll has a mechanism to bear 30% of the body's damage, why is the injury that should have been sustained by Brother Chen now transferred to Miss Tang? Doesn't it feel reasonable?"
"Isn't it just unreasonable? It's simply inexplicable!" Sure enough, after experiencing the joy of Chen Xiaoyao being lucky enough to survive, the crowd's focus soon shifted to Tang Meng. At this moment, they were watching Cheng Ying being treated urgently. The female doctor, everyone was talking about it for a while, but no matter how everyone discussed it, they couldn't find any reasonable explanation, and they couldn't figure out the inner cause of the problem. Even Zhao Ping, who was calm throughout the whole process, was witnessing Tang Meng's injury. There is surprise behind the screen, and he frowns in thought while being surprised, as if he is looking for some kind of answer. As for Chen Xiaoyao...
"Hey! Sister Tang Meng, how are you? To be honest, thanks to you this time, if it weren't for you, Sister Tang Meng, Pindao would have been completely dead. Now you have even consumed your own life-saving tools. Say Come on, Sister Tang Meng, what do you want? As long as you ask, even the stars in the sky will be plucked for you!" What is reciprocal revenge?
This is called retaliation. The moment when his vision turned to Tang Meng, Chen Xiaoyao ran forward as fast as the wind, and immediately greeted Tang Meng. While checking on the injury, Chen Xiaoyao expressed his gratitude to the female doctor in a very grateful tone. He sincerely expressed his gratitude to Tang Meng, but he ignored the man with glasses who also contributed strategies to rescue him throughout the whole process, and he never said a word of thanks from the beginning to the end. This was clearly an act of revenge for the man with glasses' ingratitude!
Let's not talk about how Chen Xiaoyao was shouting happily in his heart, but in fact Zhao Ping didn't care, and Tang Meng, who was emphatically thanked by Chen Xiaoyao, also didn't care. Faced with the young Taoist priest's gratitude, Tang Meng turned pale. A smile appeared on his face, and then he shook his head despite the pain and said: "No, Chen Xiaoyao, you don't need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, it should actually be me thanking you. You have saved me too many times. I don't even know what to say..." A simple sentence clarified Tang Meng's true heart. Yes, when Chen Xiaoyao already occupies a huge proportion in his heart, Tang Meng is willing to pay as long as he can save Chen Xiaoyao. Everything, let alone the consumption of life-saving props, she would accept even if it means exchanging life for life. However, or the only thing that Tang Meng can't understand at the moment is why Chen Xiaoyao is the one who uses the props, but the backlash damage of using the props is still caused by Should you bear it yourself?
Thinking of this, Rao is a female doctor who is very intelligent and good at analysis, but in the face of such extremely unreasonable doubts, Tang Meng was dumbfounded. She was just as baffled as the other executors who were currently having a heated discussion. Due to the long discussion, no reasonable explanation could be found. , including Tang Meng, everyone was collectively confused. Fortunately, the confusion did not last long. Just when everyone was stunned by Tang Meng's inexplicable injury, suddenly, a slightly hesitant murmur came from the scene. Saying: "I seem to know what's going on..."
