"The snow ghost is consuming us, it is deliberately consuming our props!"
This is the truth, the terrible truth that He Fei has already figured out! As a veteran with high understanding, it is impossible for He Fei not to see something. Through the two attacks of the Snow Ghost, he discovered anomalies. He always felt that the Snow Ghost had intentions. If it were said that two hours ago, it was the first time. When he was attacked by the snow ghost for the first time, He Fei had not thought too much about escaping. Then, when the snow ghost attacked him for the second time not long ago, He Fei realized that something was wrong. After a short period of thinking, He Fei finally came to the conclusion, That is to say, although Snow Ghost has already put the executor on the must-kill list, Snow Ghost also seems to know that the executor has some kind of supernatural props that can restrict it. In order to kill all the executors without leaving a trace, Snow Ghost sets out to kill them all. He has entered into a certain kind of business, a business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money, that is... frequent sneak attacks!
Using his ability to transform into snow, combined with his unique powerful perception as a ghost, the Snow Ghost began to search for the group of enforcers who had fled in the snowy mountains. If he found one, he would make a sneak attack, and he could successfully kill the person with a sneak attack. Of course it is the best, but even if the sneak attack fails, the Snow Ghost will not lose anything, because it cannot be killed, and no attack can cause damage to it. It is precisely because of its strange characteristics of being almost immortal that the Snow Ghost is not afraid of the failure of the sneak attack at all. It is not even afraid that the executor who has escaped the sneak attack will use props to fight back, or in other words, it is eager for the executor to use props to counterattack it, because in this way, the purpose of the Snow Ghost is achieved, which is to consume, frequently consume the executor's props, and The main items consumed are the expulsion or confinement props that can restrain it, such as He Fei's soul-suppressing bracelet, Li Tianheng's exorcism bomb and general seal, and Zhao Ping's supernatural camera, etc.
Therefore, under frequent sneak attacks, regardless of success or failure, the Snow Ghost has been consuming, using this almost conspiratorial method to force the executor to use props. Yes, if you don't use props, you will immediately die and turn into ice slag, but if you use props If so, then you have been fooled, because the purpose of the Snow Ghost is to force you to use props to attack it, and props always have a limit on the number of times they can be used. Once the number of times is exhausted, you will really have no way to survive.
"Consumption?" He Fei reminded her. On the opposite side, Cheng Ying, who had only been panting just now, suddenly panicked, and her face, which was already as white as paper due to exhaustion, also faintly Moving closer to Gray, not caring about continuing to breathe, as soon as He Fei finished speaking, Cheng Ying suppressed her exhaustion and asked: "Then what should we do next?"
Seeing that Cheng Ying understood what he meant, He Fei did not give an answer, but skipped the question and continued: "It is now certain that the snow ghost has self-awareness and can construct strategies like humans, and it still uses unsolved conspiracy. , under the consumption of Snow Ghost, you and I have exhausted the number of uses of the props. This is the case for us, and it is probably the same for others, unless..."
"Unless we can find a way out in a short period of time, we will not be able to hold on to the end of the mission 100%, let alone 5 days. Today is the day our entire seventh team will be destroyed!"
……………
"But we can't find a way out? Ever since we came to the snow mountain, we have been trying to find all the clues related to the way out. In the end, it seems that everyone is wasting their efforts."
Seeing He Fei talking about the way out, Cheng Ying, who was also aware that the team was about to be destroyed, frowned and said bitterly. After speaking, she exhaled, and Cheng Ying changed the subject and continued: "In addition, I always feel that this mission is getting weirder. It's obviously just It is an intermediate and upper-level mission that is not too difficult. Unexpectedly, the ghost inside is so powerful. Although the overall strength of the snow ghost is slightly weaker than that of the earthbound spirit, its threat to the executor is basically less than that of the earthbound spirit. If It’s fine that the curse rated this mission as difficult, but the difficulty marked by the curse is above average, which is unreasonable.”
"Well, I also think that this difficulty determination is unreasonable." Following Cheng Ying's words, He Fei nodded in agreement, then frowned slightly and murmured an analysis: "This seems to be the case, but after all, we We all know that curses never lie. Maybe curses will hide traps or even play tricks in missions, but curses never deceive the executors, so I think the difficulty level of this mission must be in the upper-middle level that meets the standards."
Hearing He Fei categorically stated that the mission level would not be wrong, although Cheng Ying also understood this truth, the strange facts before her still forced her to question: "Well, the curse does never lie. If this is the case, then What's the mission?
Can't find a way out? "
(Well?)
Speaking of this, something seemed to suddenly occur to him. Without waiting for He Fei to answer, Cheng Ying, who had just asked a question incomprehensibly, was startled. Then she looked at He Fei as if she had understood some theory. With a complicated expression, he said tentatively: "Wait a minute, the difficulty of the task is the standard upper-middle level, but the threat of ghosts is faintly beyond the upper-middle level. Mo, could it be..."
Cheng Ying didn't finish what she said later, not because she didn't want to say it, but before she could get to the key point, He Fei had already explained the truth for her: "Hey, it seems that this is another life hidden in the scope of human thinking. It’s a supernatural mission outside.”
Yes, this is the truth, and what He Fei just sighed exactly summarizes the essence of this mission. The so-called outside the scope of thinking means that the way to survive does exist, but the way to survive is hidden, and it is hidden extremely deep, even to the human level. To the point of incomprehension! To put it bluntly, the way out is hidden in places that no normal person would think of. This kind of hiding is far scarier than common thinking loopholes. Because the hiding is too deep, simply changing your thinking is not enough. You have to search for it in your brain. The method of loopholes is also doomed to fail, because this way of survival has gone beyond the limits of thinking that normal people can achieve! No matter how you change your thinking, no matter how you look for loopholes, there is bound to be no result in the face of this setting that is out of the scope of thinking. In addition, the reason why Cheng Ying was able to suddenly realize this came from her rich mission experience, or she Having experienced so much and performing various supernatural missions, just now, looking at He Fei's helpless face that was almost helpless, Cheng Ying thought of something...
In the impression of Cheng Ying and even everyone who is familiar with He Fei, there is no doubt about He Fei's ability to break the situation. It can be said that in the past, when performing missions, even if He Fei could not find a way out at first, as long as he had enough time, he would be able to break the situation. As time goes by, He Fei will always find clues related to his way out. The difference is just how many, and this is
The strength of He Fei is, of course, nothing is absolute. Although He Fei is always able to find clues with time most of the time, occasionally there will be situations where he cannot find a way out. Whenever this happens, He Fei will show his helplessness. Expression, this kind of helpless expression in the face of a dilemma can definitely be described as rare. Imagine that with enough time to think and find a way out, even He Fei, who is best at breaking through situations, is helpless. So this means What?
There are two answers. The first is that there is no way to survive at all. Indeed, even the way to survive does not exist anymore. The so-called finding a way out naturally loses its meaning. However, considering the characteristic of the curse that it never releases unsolvable tasks, first All these answers were eliminated, and in the end there was only one possibility left, and that was...
The way to survive has been hidden, and it is extremely hidden, so deep that it is far beyond the scope of normal human thinking and even a master of reasoning like He Fei cannot discover it!
Therefore, when she saw He Fei's helpless expression, Cheng Ying suddenly thought of the past. Through memories, she found that He Fei had also had this expression before. The last time the other party showed such an expression was a long time ago. Remember At that time, the team was executing an ordinary-level mission that was not theoretically difficult. In that supernatural mission called "Abyss Highway", a situation similar to today's seemed to have occurred. In that road mission, it was obvious that The mission level is only ordinary, but unexpectedly the threat of ghosts has reached an unprecedented height, and what's even more terrifying is that the mission has no solution! At least until the middle and late stages of the mission, He Fei was at a loss. It was not until the mission was completed and he returned to space that He Fei explained to everyone the way to survive. Let’s not mention the analysis of the path for the time being, but Cheng Ying firmly remembered the characteristics of the path to survival, which were the characteristics of the road mission. The way out was hidden so deeply that only a mentally ill person could think of it. In the end, He Fei found his way out precisely by relying on the thinking of a lunatic!
As a professional killer with quick thinking and excellent memory, Cheng Ying thought of this and almost realized it. So why didn't He Fei, who had a better mind, not think of this? At the same time, he also explained why he directly pointed out the key to the problem without waiting for Cheng Ying to finish speaking, so...
"Well, it seems that the situation is really like this. I didn't expect that after a long time, the curse actually set up a mission that a normal person would never think of." He Fei's voice As soon as it fell, Cheng Ying frowned and agreed. There is no need to explain the logic, but the problem is this
Finding a way out is not particularly difficult. Even Cheng Ying, who has always been quick-thinking, cannot analyze the way out with "abnormal" thinking that transcends human thinking. So naturally, as soon as Cheng Ying finished speaking, her beautiful eyes He immediately stared at He Fei.
"Hey, hey, hey! Why are you looking at me like that? It feels like you're looking at a mentally ill person." Sure enough, when Cheng Ying looked at her, the look in her eyes suddenly became weird, and there was even a hint of care for a madman. , opposite, He Fei was speechless. Although he also knew why Cheng Ying's eyes changed, He Fei knew his family affairs, so he said bluntly: "I know what you are thinking at this moment. Do you want me to You can analyze problems with a madman's mind again, right?"
At this point, seeing that Cheng Ying was noncommittal, He Fei smiled bitterly and continued: "You think I haven't done this before? In fact, when I first got into the igloo, I found that the way out was deeply hidden, and I also tried it. I used my crazy thinking to find a way out, but..."
After saying this for a moment, He Fei frowned and analyzed in detail: "First of all, if you want to look at this mission with a madman's mind, then the madman will only do two things, either hide in the camp to keep warm, or No matter how much he or she escapes from the snowy mountains, the cold environment and the threat of snow ghosts will only make the madman do these two things. Unfortunately, these two actions are meaningless and have nothing to do with survival. Hiding in the camp to keep warm is very likely to lead to death. We fell into a trap, and the snow mountain was banned by the Snow Ghost early on. The so-called escape was just a waste of energy and time. Even if the curse had given us a bunch of skeleton pendants of unknown purposes in advance, we had tried it before, and everyone obviously After wearing the pendant, he was unable to escape from the snowy mountain. This means that the pendant is completely different from the dolls used in the original road mission. Although this time the pendant has the same number of executors as the original dolls, the implication is that the executors have more people. One, but it is a pity that the pendant obviously does not have the function of a substitute. It can neither die on behalf of the executor nor be obliterated on behalf of the executor. And until now, we have not figured out the specific meaning or even the specific function of the pendant."
"this……"
Seeing He Fei bluntly stating that there is no way out for a lunatic, and the pendants with unknown meanings just mentioned, Cheng Ying was dumbfounded this time. She had no choice but to find out the nature of the way out, He Fei Still helpless, doesn't it mean that the way out is hidden outside the scope of normal people's thinking? If that's the case, then why can't even crazy people find a way out now? Why? what is this! ?
The ups and downs of her thoughts gradually made Cheng Ying's expression ugly, so she asked He Fei unwillingly: "Can't you even think like a lunatic? Is there really nothing that can be done? Or is there actually no way to survive this mission? exist?"
"No! A way out exists, one hundred percent!"
What surprised Cheng Ying was that as soon as she finished speaking, she saw He Fei shaking his head again, and this time his shaking his head was quite different from the one just now. If the shaking of his head just now was just that He Fei was expressing that he could not find a way out. , then this shaking of the head represents a belief, a belief that survival exists and a way out will be found!
Such two contradictory attitudes made Cheng Ying stunned for a moment. Although the female killer was smarter than ordinary people, she still couldn't understand He Fei's two completely opposite attitudes.
"You..." At this moment, seeing Cheng Ying hesitate to speak, He Fei on the opposite side did not say anything. He just turned around and looked around. Through the hole of the snow house, he first glanced at the heavy snow outside, and then glanced at Tang Meng, who was both sleeping. Ethereal, until his vision swept around the scene, He Fei continued slowly: "Sometimes, even if you can't find the clue to the escape route, the escape route will occasionally jump out in some way. It depends on whether you find it in time."
After uttering a profound sentence, He Fei rummaged through his pockets and took out all the items in his pockets. In fact, He Fei didn't have many things on him, except for the soul-suppressing bracelet and Datong that had been used up. Outside of Mozhu,
The rest are smartphones, cat-eye flashlights, communicators, daggers, python revolvers, and the white ID that represents the identity of the executioner and can never be thrown away.
There is no reason, no reason. In front of Cheng Ying, He Fei, who once claimed that he could not find a way out of the mission, began to check his belongings. Under Cheng Ying's doubtful eyes, He Fei looked at the items one by one and looked at them one by one. The result was affirmative. of, items
It is not life. Unless it is deliberately damaged or modified, any item cannot be changed, and He Fei did not find anything from it, but...
After checking all the items, or when He Fei finally looked at the white ID that represented his personal identity...
(Um?)
He Fei's expression changed, his eyes suddenly widened, and he who had been calm before suddenly changed his expression on the spot, showing surprise!
There is no doubt that He Fei's behavior of checking the items just now is not so much searching for clues as it is better to describe it as doing his best. Since he can't find any clues related to his way out, he, who has always been good at changing his thinking, plans to try his luck. See if he can get clues from the items. His intention is very simple, that is, to check his own things first. If they are not found, then he will then check the belongings of Cheng Ying, Tang Meng, and Kong Ling. If none of the above people find anything, , then he would activate the spiritual connection, remind and let other executors scattered around pay attention to the items, and see if they could find anything. In fact, He Fei just expanded his thinking as much as possible and tried his best to observe everything. After all, all the things that come to you cannot really jump out by themselves, but sometimes they will appear very close to you inadvertently. Since it is a place very close to you, then which things are considered the closest?
Cheng Ying was very close in front of her, and Tang Meng and Kong Ling were also very close. But if we had to say which thing was closer, the items we carry with us would undoubtedly be at the top of the list.
Then……
He Fei discovered the clue and witnessed the abnormal scene with his own eyes the moment he subconsciously looked at his personal ID:
At this moment, under the gaze of He Fei's instinctively wide-open eyes, a picture appeared on the back of the witness document. A picture similar to a map appeared on the back of the document. Of course, He Fei knew that documents occasionally turned into maps during missions. It had happened many times in the past, but this time it was different. Although a map appeared on the back of the document again, this time The map is quite weird, even so weird that even He Fei can't understand it.
Looking closely, I saw that the general topography of the snow-capped mountains was drawn on the map, but there was no red circle as expected. In my impression, whenever the document turned into a map, there would always be a red circle representing a dangerous area. Unexpectedly, there was no red circle this time. Although there was no red circle, the color of the entire map was surprisingly dark red! It was as if the map had been stained with blood and was extremely dark red. Such a strange phenomenon really made He Fei unable to understand. This is not over yet. If you continue to observe through the dark red, you can still see further light spots in the map. Red light spots, a large number of blood-red light spots that are constantly flashing!
There are also a large number of undulating and flashing blood-red light spots in the dark red map that is incomprehensible! ?
Seeing this scene, He Fei was immediately stunned. Even though he had a top-notch IQ and excellent understanding, he was actually frightened by this strange map he had never seen before. His brain went into panic and his expression was blank. At the same time...
"He Fei, what's wrong with you? Huh? This, this is..."
Seeing He Fei suddenly widening his eyes and looking horrified while checking his ID, Cheng Ying instinctively asked. While asking, she looked closer. The result was exactly as expected. As soon as Cheng Ying looked at the map, her expression suddenly changed. It looked very much like He Fei, who was staring at the map with a look of surprise on his face.
The extremely abnormal map screen shocked Cheng Ying. She was surprised that the document suddenly turned into a map and was shocked that the map screen was unprecedented. She was about to ask He Fei why, but He Fei suddenly raised his hand to signal for silence, and then kept his brows. Locked tightly, He Fei broke away from the shock and began to analyze. His brain, which had been temporarily shut down just now, started running at high speed!
(The map has turned dark red? There are still a lot of red light spots in it? What's going on? This is completely different from the previous map screen? In my impression, whenever the document turns into a map during the mission, the screen displayed is always What can be easily understood is that there are nothing more than red circles and other light spots of different colors. The red circles represent the dangerous range, and the light spots represent ghosts, executors or plot characters. It is customary to use red dots to represent ghosts. Since Curses have always used red dots to represent ghosts, so what are these numerous red dots in front of us? Is it possible...)
(No, it’s impossible! It’s absolutely impossible for snow ghosts to exist in such a large number! With the terrifying strength of snow ghosts, which can be called abnormal, if a red dot represents a
If it were just a snow ghost, then this mission would be completely doomed. Even if Daluo Jinxian was here, there would definitely be no way to survive. Therefore, the red light spot is definitely not a snow ghost, not to mention that from the beginning of the mission to now , everyone has only seen one snow ghost, and there is no second ghost with similar properties. Since it is certain that there is only one snow ghost, what are these dense red dots? Is it a clone? Could it be that Snow Ghost just activated his clone ability? Hmm, it's still impossible. In my impression, the map never counts ghost clones, and the snow ghost itself doesn't seem to have the ability to clone. All the abilities it displays are related to freezing. It's really weird for a clone to suddenly appear. It's so unreasonable. )
(Since the red dots are unlikely to represent snow ghosts, and the snow ghosts themselves do not have the ability to clone, then what are these blood-red dots that used to represent ghosts? Or what do they represent now?)
With his brain running at high speed, He Fei was racking his brains to analyze the map and scrutinize the large number of blood-red light spots. While He Fei was thinking, Cheng Ying was not idle either. She was prompted by some thoughts to start experiments. , took out his personal ID, looked down, and saw that the document had also turned into a map, which was exactly the same as the one in He Fei's hand. The same map was dark red, with the same red dots all over it. He rummaged through the soup again. Cute and ethereal certificate, the result is still the same.
Seeing this, let's not talk about He Fei's current thoughts, but after confirming that everyone's IDs turned into dark red maps, Cheng Ying still understood a key point, that is...
Clues found! The survival of this supernatural mission is destined to be related to the map!
