Chapter 587: Peak Specter(1/2)
It stands to reason that a person like the man with glasses should not be so miserable, and his reaction state should at least not be worse than that of Chen Xiaoyao who is closer. If this is the case, then why is the man with glasses afraid? Why is he frightened?
Indeed, Zhao Ping was never shocked by the bloody scenes from beginning to end, and he was not afraid of corpses from beginning to end. The reason why he showed fear and panic on his face was that in addition to observing, he was also thinking about the problem in his mind.
Or it can be understood as...
Just now, at the moment of Zhang Qifeng's death, the man with glasses discovered something. He discovered a certain answer before Chen Xiaoyao or anyone present, a terrifying reality that was enough to scare him, a veteran, half to death!
………
Yes, because before Zhang Qifeng died suddenly, Zhao Ping, who was beside him, had been observing him intently. With careful observation, Zhang Qifeng's strange changes in that moment happened to be caught by Zhao Ping, including the color of the man's eyes before his death.
Expressions of change and pain.
Combining all the past events, Zhao Ping finally came to a terrifying conclusion:
That is, when the victim sees a female locust for the first time, the eyes will be slightly red, which is not obvious, but when the victim encounters a female locust for the third time, they will quickly turn to dark red, and then turn from dark red to black. Once they turn black,
The victim will die instantly and be scattered into a pile of broken corpses.
The entire death process takes less than 1 second!
"Hoo, ho..."
Looking at the corpse of Zhang Qifeng a few meters away, Peng Hu was in shock and breathing heavily. He was disturbed by Qian Xueling's screams and forced himself to react. He suddenly thought of something and was about to reach out to cover the mouth of the woman next to him. Unexpectedly, it was too late. Because of Qian
Xueling's voice was so loud that she finally disturbed others in the house. Soon, there was a sound of footsteps, followed by screams, and the awakened Liu Dong and others, together with the newlyweds, ran out of the bedroom and out of the house.
When you come to the street, the first thing you see is Zhang Qifeng's miserable body.
"ah!"
As expected, when they saw the pile of broken pieces composed of Zhang Qifeng, in an instant, the three girls, Fang Min, Meng Fei and Yue Xiao, all opened their eyes wide and opened their mouths wide, and let out a scream similar to Qian Xueling's just now.
, although the men did not make a sound, their reaction state was also not much better. Seeing Zhang Qifeng turned into pieces, Liu Dongliang
His legs suddenly felt weak. If he hadn't supported the pale Zhang Zhiyong beside him in time, he might have collapsed. This is true for the characters in the plot, and it is also true for the newcomers. As a newcomer, Fang Hai was so frightened that he shivered.
Trembling, it could be seen from the middle-aged man's almost round eyes that at this moment, he was extremely frightened.
Of course, nothing is absolute, and there are exceptions, and that is Gao Jikun. When he looked closely, he saw that although the fat man's face was pale, he was not as miserable as the others around him, and his overall state was barely calm.
Why calm down? There is no other reason. It is not how courageous the fat man with small eyes is, but...
It's that he had already broken away from the initial fear and recovered from the initial panic like the veteran opposite him. In other words, he had witnessed Zhang Qifeng's death process as early as a minute ago.
Yes, since he and the other two newcomers were driven back to the bedroom by Peng Hu, he had been worried and did not lie down to sleep like others. After a while, the need to urinate emerged, and the fat man left the bedroom and planned to go to the toilet in the living room to urinate.
, but strangely, when he entered the living room, he found that the original position
Several senior people in the hall disappeared, and at the same time, voices could be heard faintly outside the room. Driven by curiosity, Gao Jikun hurriedly leaned in front of the window and looked around. After a closer look, he found that the senior people were indeed on the street. Apart from that, what else was there?
A plot character who appears to be named Zhang Qifeng is also involved.
Everything that happened after that was clearly visible, from Chen Xiaoyao's practice of holding the talisman to Zhang Qifeng's sudden death, Gao Jikun watched the whole process.
The fat man was so frightened that the corners of his mouth twitched until he was brought back to reality by Qian Xueling's scream.
But then again, although Gao Jikun appeared to be calmer than the others because he had overcome the panic in advance, in fact, the fear in Fatty's heart was stronger than anyone else's, because he witnessed the other party's death process.
After learning about the other party's tragic death, I even knew that Zhang Qifeng died very quickly.
Fast, too fast! It was so fast that Zhang Qifeng was dead before anyone else could react!
It was torn apart on the spot, falling into pieces in an instant, and just falling apart on its own without suffering any attack, turning into a pile of fragments!!!
How did he die?
I don't know, I don't understand, I can't understand it at all.
At this moment, in front of the gate of the house, looking at Zhang Qifeng's corpse, everyone at the door fell into a daze. They were stunned for a long time. Finally, Liu Dong stretched out his trembling hand and pointed at Zhang Qifeng's broken corpse and asked the executioners opposite: "What's this?"
, what is going on, Qi Feng... Qi Feng, he..."
"Killed by hawks, just like your other two companions."
Faced with the man's doubts and confusion, Cheng Ying, who regained her composure after hearing the other man's stammering, immediately responded with an indifferent tone. The answer was brief and not sloppy, but it was so shocking to the ears of Liu Dong and others.
Terrified.
They were killed, killed by the female locust. Sure enough, as he had always worried, the locust hiding in the town had no intention of letting them go!
Sometimes fear is contagious, and sometimes it causes people to recall the past. This is currently the case with Zhang Zhiyong. After listening to Cheng Ying's answer, he didn't care to push away Meng Fei, who was hugging him tightly out of fear. The man's thoughts shifted and he subconsciously recalled all the things Zhang Qifeng did during the day.
Weird, could it be...
Under the night, the atmosphere of the town changed unknowingly. Affected by Zhang Qifeng's death, everyone at the scene was frightened and panicked.
It is often said that time is the best coolant. No matter what kind of emotion, it can gradually calm down with the passage of time. In the silence, Zhao Ping came back from his contemplation, looked around, and saw a crowd gathering at the door. Based on some idea
, the man with glasses moved, walked slowly in front of Liu Dong and others, adjusted his glasses, and finally said calmly: "Now that things have come to this, I think it is time to tell you some of our guesses about the female beetle."
Next, under the astonishment of Liu Dong and others, Zhao Ping told the truth, and then told the executor's guess about Nvqi's ability, the rules of Nvqi's killing, and the death process of Zhang Qifeng.
It seems that he has nothing to hide, but in fact, a careful person can still find that the man with glasses has not said everything, at least he has not revealed to the public that the eyes of people who see a locust will turn red.
reason?
Regarding the reason, there were one or two senior people who understood Zhao Ping's intention, but no one said it or reminded them. After all, some things are not suitable to be made public, and it is often better to talk about it in private.
"...That's what happened. Okay, everyone, let's go back. We will handle the body. There is one more thing I want to remind you. Now that everyone understands their situation, as for what to do next, I think you should
I know it well."
Following Zhao Ping's urging and the fact that the corpse was too disgusting, finally, with fear, the four Liu Dongs and the three new talents returned to their respective bedrooms tremblingly. During the return process, Gao Jikun overheard the sound due to the close distance.
, heard whispers, heard Zhang Zhiyong repeating one sentence:
"You have to leave quickly and leave the town. If you stay any longer, I will die. I will die."
………
Chen Xiaoyao failed to save Zhang Qifeng in the end, not because he did not try his best, but because he was too late.
Suddenly, quickly, without warning.
The person who warded off evil spirits was already dead before the evil talisman was handed to Zhang Qifeng's hand!
In addition, Zhao Ping also roughly determined one thing through observation, that is, the time is a matter of time. From the second time the victim saw the female locust to the final death, the interval was short. The death notification was received at 23:25, and the victim died at 23:45.
, with only a 20-minute interval in between.
Returning to the topic, Liu Dong and others, together with the newcomers, returned to the room one after another. Cheng Ying, who had been paying attention to Zhao Ping during this period, made the first move. Without saying anything, she came to the man with glasses and immediately squinted her eyes and opened her mouth to ask: "Say quickly,
What on earth did you see just now!?"
As mentioned above, although Zhang Qifeng died instantly because his line of sight was slightly blocked by Chen Xiaoyao in front of him, so that Cheng Ying could not fully see the death process of the other party, Zhao Ping's panic reaction when Zhang Qifeng died was clearly seen by her, and she was
As a professional killer, although she may not fully understand the man with glasses, she still knows clearly that a pile of corpses alone is not enough to scare the man with glasses like this. Since it can scare him like that, there must be a reason.
.
Sure enough, Cheng Ying's questioning inevitably attracted the attention of others, prompting Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao and Qian Xueling to look across and stare at Zhao Ping.
As for the man with glasses...
Seeing Cheng Ying's question, the man first secretly sighed in his mind that the other party was very observant, but then he simply told everyone about Zhang Qifeng's strange changes before his death without any fuss, just like before.
The results are predictable.
As the narration ended, for a while, a feeling of fear that was several times stronger than the one that witnessed Zhang Qifeng's smashing suddenly came over, causing the few people who had finally calmed down to fall into panic again and even despair. The reason was that no one had any chance.
Thinking that the victim would undergo such strange changes before death, strictly speaking, there are signs before death, which is good news for the executors. After all, based on past mission experience, if there are signs, it means that they have the opportunity to stop or prevent it.
Unfortunately...
If you think about it carefully, this so-called sign is meaningless.
The reasons are roughly divided into two points:
First, the sign appears for too short a time. It only lasts less than 1 second. Then the victim will die instantly and turn into pieces. It can even be said that the sign of death and complete death almost happen at the same time. Even if
If you discover it in time, when the signs appear, others will definitely be unable to stop or help you.
The second point is related to the victim himself, that is...
Since this very short-term sign only appears in the eyes, the victim himself cannot detect it. Unless the victim happens to be looking in the mirror when the sign appears, the individual will not be able to notice it at all. Even if others notice it, it will be useless.
A reminder that if you say it, the victim will be killed in advance.
Combining the above two points, the answer was finally revealed, and this was the real reason why everyone at the scene looked desperate. Suppressed by fear, Cheng Ying frowned, Peng Hu's mouth twitched, and Qian Xueling took the initiative to come to Zhao Ping.
The atmosphere at the scene dropped to freezing point. Seeing this, Chen Xiaoyao remained silent, somewhat unexpectedly.
Instead of coming forward to ease the atmosphere as before, he unexpectedly remained silent. After a long time, he suddenly spoke as if he had pondered some questions. He suddenly spoke and added to the end of what Zhao Ping said. Unexpectedly, this very addition was equivalent to this.
The frightened people further poured cold water on them:
"Also, when Zhang Qifeng saw the female locust for the second time, the sensory Taoist charms I had placed in the living room earlier did not respond. Later, I wiped my eyes with willow leaves and still could not see her. It seemed that the female locust had been killed.
No one else can see it."
What!
Like thunder exploding, like an electric current passing through the body, when Chen Xiaoyao said these words in a gloomy tone, everyone was shocked, especially Zhao Ping, Cheng Ying and Peng Hu. The reaction of the three people was far worse than that of Chen Xiaoyao.
