It was only later that I figured out what Zhang Hazi's method was for testing the sleepy man's position.
He first used long and short sentences to test whether the sleepy bug was artificially controlled or spontaneously put us to sleep. Obviously, when Zhang Hazi asked me to listen carefully to the code words, our car drove a little further forward. , and then returned to the entrance, which shows that Sleepyhead is controlled by the other party.
Because the other party also wants to know what code word Zhang Hazi is going to say. They are worried that Zhang Hazi has found a way to crack it, so they want to know the code word he is about to say, and then formulate countermeasures in advance based on his code word.
But their wishful thinking was obviously wrong, because Zhang Hazi asked me to listen carefully to the code words, which was meant for the other party to listen to. So Zhang Hazi deliberately stretched Cai Yi very long, just to test when we would be knocked down by them.
The small distance we were able to drive forward was the result of the other party trying to hear Zhang Hazi's code words. It's just that they discovered that Zhang Hazi was deliberately stalling for time. If we don't get over, we will all drive on the highway, which will make the world of curved mirrors self-defeating.
So I just drove forward a short distance and was knocked down by them.
Then Zhang Hazi asked me to get out of the car and try it out. As I said before, I was the guinea pig doing the experiment. If I reappeared at the entrance, that would be a different matter, and Zhang Hazi's sleepy suspicion would not be true.
But obviously, there was such a long distance between me and them with a hemp rope. As a result, the three of us still returned to the entrance together, which shows that the sleepy man's conjecture will be true to a large extent - because if it is just But if I was asleep and they were not, Zhang Hazi and Wu Tinghan could tell what happened to us at a glance, so the other party could only make us unconscious at the same time.
But the more this happens, the more it proves that the bending mirror world is wrong. On the contrary, Zhang Hazi's sleepy man theory may be right.
Combined with the indicator needle of the fuel gauge, Zhang Hazi could naturally determine that we were hit by a sleep bug, and the sleep bug was controlled manually. Otherwise, since I'm so far away from them, I should be the first to come into contact with Sleepy's 'casting range'.
In other words, I should be the first to faint, and the two of them will be fine. But the reality is that the three of us were unconscious at the same time, which means that all three of us had entered the sleepy man's 'casting range' at that time.
However, due to manual control, the sleepy man was not allowed to 'cast spells', so the three of us were still awake at the time.
In fact, it should be like this, otherwise it might not be easy for Wu Tinghan to conduct the experiment alone, after all, he would fall unconscious as soon as he entered. But there are three of us, so just send one guinea pig over and the other two stand outside and watch.
At this time, the person hiding behind the scenes will control Sleepy and let him stop 'casting spells' for the time being. After all three of us have entered the casting range, Sleepy will knock us all down at once.
But in this way, we have no way to determine the specific location of the sleepy bug. How did Zhang Hazi judge it?
Zhang Hazi looked at me with great disdain and said, that’s why I said it. I only knew the location roughly, but I didn’t know exactly where the insect was hiding.
It turns out that this is what Zhang Hazi said before. No wonder a person who always speaks accurately would speak so vaguely this time. It turns out that it is for this reason.
Let me tell you, do you already know the approximate location?
Zhang Hazi pointed in the direction of the exit and said, "It's on both sides of the exit ramp. I don't know where exactly."
Let me tell you, doesn’t that mean it’s useless?
If we don’t know where it is, we can’t deal with it. So if we want to leave this service area, isn’t it still a fantasy?
Zhang Hazi turned his head and looked at me like an idiot and said, are you from the countryside? Have you never done anything like sitting on the rooftop and peeling corn buds at night in the summer?
Let me tell you, I have done this naturally, ever since I was little, every summer. The family sat around the yard, with the corn piled aside, chatting about household chores and shucking the corn, having a good time.
He said that there are so many mosquitoes in the countryside at night in summer. You don’t know where the mosquitoes are, you only know a rough location. So are you just chasing them away?
My eyes suddenly lit up when I heard this, and I said, burn straw and use smoke!
I mentioned this a long time ago. The reason why I thought that the cattail leaf fan that my grandfather carried with him was missing was because I remembered that when I burned straw to smoke out mosquitoes on summer nights, my grandfather would always use that cattail leaf fan to fan out mosquitoes. fire.
Zhang Hazi said that insects are afraid of smoke and fire, so it is definitely not possible to set fire, otherwise they will be imprisoned; but we can set off smoke to smoke out the sleepy insects.
Smoke is an AOE skill. As long as you are within this range, you will be harmed by smoke. So even if we only know the approximate range of the sleepy bug, that's enough to drive it away.
So Zhang Hazi asked me to take out some incense from my backpack, bundle it into a bundle, light it all, and stick it at the entrance of the exit ramp.
I looked at the fragrance that seemed strong enough, but it was just a drop in the bucket for the entire ramp. I asked Zhang Hazi very puzzledly, even if you use a thousand sticks of fragrance, the smoke will not be able to remove the drowsiness. Insect?
Not to mention the legendary sleepy bugs, even ordinary mosquitoes won't even raise their eyebrows.
Zhang Hazi said, you know what I said, I say courtesy first and then attack. They know our every move, so they must also know that we have discovered the existence of Old Sleepy. When they saw us offering incense to the sleepy bugs to show respect, they moved the bugs away if they knew the difference. If they didn't know the difference, don't blame me for killing the bugs together!
I know those craftsmen are watching us, but they shouldn’t be watching every move, right? At most, they can just hear us talking. Otherwise, the other party can see us, and we should also be able to see each other. But neither Zhang Hazi nor Wu Tinghan noticed anything unusual, which means that the other party is far away from us.
When Zhang Hazi heard this, he slapped him and said, if it was far away from us, after we fell asleep, would this car drive to the service area opposite? Autonomous driving? I bought the car too early and didn’t get that feature!
I was dumbfounded when I heard this. It means that in this car, there is a sinister person hiding in it where we can't see it! Every time after we fall asleep, it will jump out, drive the car to the service area opposite, and then restore us to the way we were before falling asleep.
And this sinister person had no ill intentions towards us, he was just responsible for driving, so even if it appeared, it did not wake up Zhang Hazi and Wu Tinghan.
Looking at the slow-burning fragrance and the getting darker sky, I asked Zhang Hazi, how can we tell whether the sleepy man has left?
Zhang Hazi shook his head and said, no need to judge, just do it directly. First the courtesy, then the soldiers. First the courtesy, then the soldiers. I have already sent the gifts to the old man, and then it is time for the soldiers to come on stage.
