Not to mention, as a Taoist genius who is often praised by his master, after listening and quickly understanding the logic of life, Chen Xiaoyao suddenly frowned and immediately raised his head again to question Zhao Ping, directly pointing out what the man had just said. There are contradictions and doubts in it, and the doubts are just like what he just said. If the snow ghost really relies on the breath of life to maintain its existence, the plot character with the breath of life must happen to be the carrier of the snow ghost. What about the executor? Could it be that the executor has no breath of life? Shouldn't the curse directly judge the executors as a group of dead people?
"Huh? That's right, Chen Xiaoyao, I almost forgot about it if you didn't mention it. This is really a contradiction!"
"Yes, yes, in fact, I have also discovered this. They are all human beings, so why do their breaths of life disappear after killing all the characters in the plot? What is going on?"
Sure enough, under Chen Xiaoyao's first reminder, other people soon responded one after another. Among them, Peng Hu and Chen Shuihong's echoes were the loudest. Tao Mei, who was just a newcomer, was completely confused. Okay. There are no absolutes in anything, and just when most people are stunned, Cheng Ying faintly showed a look of surprise. Tang Meng, who was also listening the whole process, also had eyes flashing as if he understood. Finally, with a trace of hesitation, he looked at Tang Meng. Finally, Cheng Ying turned to Zhao Ping and asked tentatively: "Could it be that the specific function of the skull pendant is..."
Snapped. "you guessed right."
In line with the good quality of saying it all in one breath, without waiting for Cheng Ying to express his guess, Zhao Ping raised his hand and snapped his fingers. He also agreed with Cheng Ying's sentence that he had not finished because he interrupted her. After guessing the truth, Zhao Ping clarified the function of the pendant in public as before.
Through Zhao Ping's explanation, everyone learned about the function of the pendant. The function is very simple, that is, it masks the breath of life!
That's right, the 14 skull pendants found in the school are a kind of protection provided by the curse to the executor. The only effect is to cover up the executor's life breath, so that the snow ghost cannot borrow the executor. The breath of life, as for the skull pendant, how can it cover up the breath of life of a living person? Zhao Ping doesn't know the standard answer, but if the man with glasses can understand himself, he can actually guess a rough principle. Zhao Ping calls it Yin Qi covering, using the Yin Qi that only ghosts have to cover living people. It is conceivable that if there is no Yang Qi in a person, the so-called breath of life will naturally disappear without a trace.
……………
The carrier of the snow ghost is the breath of life. As long as there are still humans alive, even if there is only one person left, the snow ghost can continue to exist. The characters in the plot can exude the breath of life, so how can the executors who are also human beings be the same? But if this is the case, then this mission is 100% unsolvable. Imagine that if Snow Ghost can even borrow the life breath of the executor, then it will be useless even if the executor kills all the plot characters. If you want to let Snow Ghost To truly disappear, the executors can only commit collective suicide after killing all the characters in the plot. But once they commit suicide, the mission will be completely unsolvable. Fortunately, the curse never releases unsolvable tasks, in order to leave a trace for the executors. There was a glimmer of hope, and the curse went out of its way to add a measure of protection.
Before executing the mission in the snowy mountain, the curse put the executor into a university in advance in a way that was unnecessary no matter how you looked at it. It seemed unnecessary, but it had a hidden meaning. The purpose was to make the executor find protective measures, which represented protection. The solution is exactly the skull pendant, 14 ominous pendants possessed by ghosts.
In fact, those 14 skull pendants are equivalent to the 14 students who died tragically in the school that year. Since those students all died violently, their ghosts lingered after their deaths, and their souls were attached to the pendants, which made the pendants contain extremely rich The yin energy of ghosts. Anyone who wears a skull pendant will have their life breath covered by the ghost yin energy that comes with the pendant. In fact, it is precisely because the executors found and wore these skull pendants that the life breath of everyone will disappear, and the snow ghost cannot Borrowing the executor's breath of life, in the end, after killing all the plot characters who can exude the breath of life, the snow ghost that lost its carrier disappeared on its own.
The above is Zhao Ping's personal understanding of the skull pendant. It is said to be a personal understanding, but in fact it has been confirmed by Zhao Ping through experiments. He once asked Li Wenguang to take off the pendant. At that time, it seemed very inexplicable, but its intention was not. Just to verify the guess, what is the verification result? As a result, after Li Wenguang took off the pendant, Zhao Ping, who had just counted the number of red dots, discovered that there was one more red dot in the picture! In short, it can be understood that when the executor wears the pendant, the breath of life is completely hidden, but once the pendant is taken off, the executor will exude the breath of life like the plot character, and then become a representative on the map Dangerous red light!
The matter was not over yet. Out of caution, in order to further verify whether there was a difference between the red dots released by the executor and the red dots representing plot characters, Zhao Ping directly took out his gun and shot Li Wenguang and the three students. The final conclusion The result is that without wearing the pendant, there is no difference in the nature of the performer and the plot character.
Through experiments, Zhao Ping got the answer he wanted. The purpose of He Fei's inexplicable suicide in the camp was actually an experiment. The difference was that Zhao Ping used others as guinea pigs, while He Fei used himself as a guinea pig. , but whether you experiment on others or experiment on yourself, the experimental results of both sides are surprisingly consistent. .
Although the experimental results were consistent, because the experimental results were exactly the same, the two people's emotions were completely different at this moment. Zhao Ping was overjoyed to find a way out, but He Fei fell into a painful entanglement.
This kind of cruel and cold-blooded way of survival has absolutely no impact on the always ruthless Zhao Ping. He himself can execute the way of life without any psychological pressure. However, He Fei is different. This kind of cruel and cold-blooded way of life has no impact on the always kind-hearted Zhao Ping. For He Fei, it is equivalent to breaking through the bottom line, which is a complete inner torture. At the same time, it also explains why He Fei has been silent for a long time even though he has found a way out, and even refused to give orders from beginning to end. Fei didn't want to give the order, but...
He Fei couldn't bear it!
Being trapped in the snowy mountain and unable to leave, it is true that these plot characters have been brutally slaughtered by snow ghosts. In fact, even if the executor does not kill them, they are all destined to die in the following time. However, being killed by ghosts and dying in In the hands of the executioner, there is an essential difference between the two. He Fei is very clear about this. He is used to seeing death and can calmly accept ghosts killing innocent people indiscriminately, and even accept others killing innocent people indiscriminately. But if he personally orders the killing of innocent people If so, it would be difficult for him to do it!
Precisely because He Fei couldn't do it, in order to let He Fei get rid of his inner suffering as soon as possible, and to complete the task as soon as possible, Zhao Ping, who found a way out, decisively replaced He Fei. First, he announced the way out for He Fei, and then he replaced He Fei. He Fei issued the massacre order that must be carried out.
"...Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said. The logic of survival is this, and the function of the pendant is almost the same."
Adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, Zhao Ping once again took the place of He Fei and told everyone the logic of how to survive that should have been explained by him. The result was certain. After the logic of how to survive was completely smoothed out, all of a sudden, including Cheng Ying, Everyone inside couldn't help but break out in cold sweat, all of which represented fear! Fortunately, He Fei led them to find the pendant when they were in school. If they had not found it or simply ignored it, they would have definitely died in the subsequent snow mountain mission, even if they found a way to survive. But without the pendant, the ending is bound to end in total annihilation.
"Holy shit, when you say that, we are really on the verge of death. Fortunately, we found the pendant in advance, otherwise we would not have made it back alive."
"Who says it isn't? The curse is too insidious. It actually splits the way out into two. One is hidden in the school and the other is hidden on the ID. It's not enough to just find one. You have to find both to break the situation. This is too weird. Mom is so sinister and vicious!"
"What a risk. If He Fei hadn't found those pendants in advance, we would have been completely wiped out."
As Zhao Ping finished his story, everyone began to discuss it with strong fear. During the discussion, everyone also gained a better understanding of the insidiousness and viciousness of the curse.
"It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest."
Just as everyone was having a heated discussion, He Fei, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke. Everyone looked around and saw that He Fei had already moved. After casually saying a rest reminder, he left without looking back. , in front of everyone, He Fei left the scene expressionlessly. This was not over yet. As soon as He Fei walked away, Li Tianheng, who had been lying on his back in a daze, also stood up silently and left the treatment hall.
Staring at the retreating figures of the two people outside the door, everyone looked at each other, and some of them instinctively showed expressions of surprise. This was not to blame for their different expressions, but because He Fei's attitude at this moment was rare, almost to the point of being 'cold'. The word "He Fei" is engraved on his face. In the impression, He Fei is not this kind of person. Although He Fei in the past may not be described as amiable, he can at least be summed up as easy-going. Every time he returns, he will talk and laugh with everyone. Unexpectedly This time, he was silent throughout the return. He was just silent. Just now he left without looking back. Moreover, Li Tianheng has now become extremely abnormally mute. Like He Fei, he does not say hello to anyone at all. He got up and left, and both He Fei and Li Tianheng were in a very bad mood!
Of course, everyone must know the reason for the extremely bad mood of the two. It can be said that except for Tao Mei, who has just joined, everyone can understand the current mood of He Fei and the two, especially as a psychiatrist. Tang Meng, in fact, from the moment she learned that her way out was to kill all 50 plot characters, Tang Meng immediately understood why He Fei was silent and dazed. After all, she knew very well who He Fei was. That is a young man who always retains the brilliance and bottom line of humanity. Now that the bottom line has been broken, it will be a damn thing if the young man can be in a good mood. Even if he did not give the original murder order, even if he himself has not participated in the murder from beginning to end. , but he acquiesced after all. In fact, Zhao Ping's original killing order was implemented with He Fei's acquiescence.
In addition, if He Fei is currently immersed in the pain and sorrow of breaking the bottom line, then Li Tianheng is really angry. Cheng Ying, Peng Hu and Zhao Ping, three people have killed indiscriminately in front of him. Innocent, just when he couldn't stand it anymore and was about to stop him, Chen Xiaoyao used acupuncture to forcefully stop him. As a result, he was helpless and could only watch. It is conceivable that after this experience, the always upright Li Tianheng How to calm down?
"Oops! He Fei is in a bad mood, and Li Tianheng is also angry!"
Seeing the two people walking out of the hall without saying a word, Peng Hu suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly told the truth. Cheng Ying was also vaguely upset, so she frowned and whispered: "Indeed, things are a bit troublesome."
"Then, what should we do? Not only did Lao He refuse people thousands of miles away, but even that kid Li Tianheng left in anger." After taking over the conversation from the two of them, Chen Xiaoyao, who also realized that the situation was not good, now also didn't After calming down, he opened his eyes and asked questions, obviously wanting to find someone to discuss countermeasures.
Seeing that the above three people were all panicking and sighing, Chen Shuihong said from the side: "Hey, it seems that people are different after all. The difference in values will always block people like a big mountain. Although this barrier cannot be changed, , but sometimes it changes due to changes in the current situation.”
Chen Shuihong, who has decades of experience in officialdom and life, said this and it was not unethical. Everyone could also hear the meaning of the middle-aged fat man's words. After hearing this, Cheng Ying nodded and said: "He has been working hard on that bottom line. I have never thought about changing him. In fact, he is the real him. If he is not like this, then he is not him."
"Tch, I know what you want to say. Don't you just want to say that He Fei is a bit stubborn? In fact, I am not like this? It's just that this time the situation is a bit special. This time I didn't kill a person, but a group of people. A sinful beast to begin with.”
As soon as Cheng Ying finished speaking, Peng Hu declared with a ferocious smile on his face that he didn't care about what he had done before. By the way, it also verified Chen Shuihong's sentiment, that is, people can never be different, even if they are equally kind. The inner values of the two people will always deviate as the situation develops, and Peng Hu is a ready example. Obviously Peng Hu cares about human life as much as He Fei, but Peng Hu hates Russians extremely. In Peng Hu's personal values, Russians are not human beings. Since they are not even human beings, Peng Hu naturally has no grudges and even kills them happily! It's a pity that He Fei is not Peng Hu, and Li Tianheng is not Peng Hu either. It is precisely because their values are somewhat different from Peng Hu's that led to this result.
Thinking of this, Cheng Ying smiled bitterly at Peng Hu and said, "It would be great if they could think like you."
Seeing that even Cheng Ying, who had always been very resourceful, smiled bitterly and expressed helplessness, Peng Hu, who didn't know what to do, was completely panicked. Chen Xiaoyao, who was afraid that Li Tianheng would break up with him, was even more scared and at a loss. Fortunately, There were many capable people at the scene. Seeing that Cheng Ying had no choice, Peng Hu hurriedly looked at Tang Meng, and Chen Xiaoyao almost simultaneously turned his eyes for help to the female doctor who was listening the whole time.
"Hey, sister, you are a psychiatrist. Can you think of a solution for us?"
"Yes, yes, Sister Tang Meng, everyone knows that you have many ideas. You have to help me no matter what this time. I don't want to break up with Li Tianheng!"
What does it mean to be a thief with a guilty conscience? This is called guilty conscience! After discovering that He Fei and Li Tianheng were in a strange mood, apart from a certain man with glasses, Cheng Ying, who had personally killed innocent people, felt uneasy. Peng Hu, who had once carried out a machete killing spree, also felt guilty. During this period, he had acted as two Chen Xiaoyao, who was an accomplice, was also uneasy. As the anxiety became more intense, the three began to ask Tang Meng for help. Peng Hu and Chen Xiaoyao repeatedly begged, hoping that the other party could come up with a solution. Although Cheng Ying did not speak. , but the look he looked at Tang Meng clearly contained strong expectations. As for Tang Meng...
Faced with the collective pleading of the three people, the female doctor on the other side smiled for some reason. While showing her smile, she nodded to the three of them and said, "Well, I can help you, and the solution is very simple."
"Eh? Sister, have you thought of a solution? Hurry! Tell us quickly?" Seeing Tang Meng smiling and nodding, she could solve it, and even stated that the solution was simple. Opposite her, Cheng Ying's eyes were shining, and she was begging for help. Peng Hu and the other two were even more delighted when they heard the words. After just a few words of urging, Tang Meng narrowed her eyes slightly, and then said meaningful words to the three of them:
"It seems that in the next few days, you may have to let go of your personal dignity..."
………
The first night back in space passed quietly amidst everyone's overall exhaustion. Since their return, neither He Fei nor Li Tianheng had gone out. They had just stayed in their personal rooms.
On the second day of the mission rest period, at 17:26 in the evening, He Fei was in his room.
Keeping his head lowered, He Fei was sitting on the sofa without any movement. Because his head was lowered, no one could see the young man's expression. But because he could not see the young man's expression clearly, opposite him, Cheng Ying was a little embarrassed, and so was Peng Hu. So, when I think of Tang Meng’s reminder...
I gritted my teeth and finally! Cheng Ying was the first to make a move, and sat directly next to He Fei under the gaze of Peng Hu's eyes that were getting wider and wider. Then she leaned sideways towards He Fei with movements that were completely inconsistent with her personality. He apologized in a low voice to the young man: "He Fei, please don't be angry, okay? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have done it directly at that time. Can you forgive me?"
Plop!
Peng Hu felt goosebumps on his body rising from the ground like a large group of accelerating growth of plants. In addition to being covered with goosebumps, he also lost his balance and accidentally fell. However, when he saw Cheng Ying's murderous glance, Finally, as if he thought of something, the next moment, the bald man jumped up like lightning, and immediately echoed with a correct attitude: "Yes, yes, yes, Cheng Ying is right, we did make a mistake in this matter. I really shouldn’t have followed Zhao Jingyan’s order at that time, let alone take action without saying anything. Even if I take action, I should ask for your opinion before taking action. If you don’t nod, we won’t take action no matter what you say!”
Yes, this is the solution Tang Meng told him, to lower his profile and ask for forgiveness while giving up face. At this moment, both Cheng Ying and Peng Hu took the initiative to admit their mistakes and tried to obtain He Fei's forgiveness, especially Cheng. Sakura, in order to get twice the result with half the effort, the female killer actually resorted to coquettish tactics! God, who would have thought that the two murderers who had been killing people crazily during the mission would act like this now. In front of He Fei, Cheng Ying, who had slaughtered people with a cold expression, turned into a good baby, and she was like a tiger before. Peng Hu, who rushed into the crowd to kill, had already lost his initial momentum. At this moment, the two of them took the initiative to admit their mistakes like primary school students who had done something wrong. As for He Fei...
The young man moved and raised his head after listening to Cheng Ying and Peng Hu's apology. However, what surprised the two of them was that He Fei who raised his head was neither as cold nor as deep as expected. , but was stunned!
"Eh? Cheng Ying, Brother Peng, you, what are you two doing?"
Nani?
Seeing He Fei's surprised expression, Cheng Ying next to her was stunned for a moment, and Peng Hu across from him was dumbfounded. Just now, they had imagined various reactions after He Fei raised his head, and they were even prepared to be yelled at by He Fei. Prepare, but when He Fei raised his head, the other party was stunned? And his whole face was full of shock! ?
this……
"Hey, brother, aren't you angry?".
At this moment, looking at He Fei's unpretentious expression of surprise, Peng Hu questioned him with an even more shocked expression. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, He Fei touched his head and asked in shock: "What? Angry? When did I Are you angry with you two?"
Huh?
He Fei's blank answer made Peng Hu completely dumbfounded, and Cheng Ying showed a surprised expression at the same time. However, He Fei reacted very quickly. Seeing the two people staring at him blankly, He Fei couldn't help but be startled, and then he understood and completely understood what was going on. reason.
After waking up, He Fei sighed and continued to the two of them: "It seems that Brother Peng, you and Cheng Ying have misunderstood me. Yes, I admit that the previous incident did make me feel painful and depressed, but I have never blamed you, not even Zhao Ping who asked you to kill people. After all, some things have to be done by someone. In the situation at that time, if you want to avoid the end of the team being destroyed, you can only do it ruthlessly. , I can’t possibly not know this truth, Zhao Ping just saw that I was struggling, so he took the initiative to issue the order on my behalf. In fact, even if Zhao Ping did not replace me at that time, I would eventually issue the exact same order as Zhao Ping.”
"So, Brother Peng, and Cheng Ying, I don't blame you. I myself have never blamed you. If you want to blame, you can only blame the curse. After all, who would have thought that the curse would set up such a tortured way of life for humanity? ?”
"If you two think that I will blame you for this kind of thing, then you two are looking down on me!"
