The cries of crows soared over the forest, and the deep coldness constantly stimulated the numb body. As time passed, Zhao Ping opened his eyes under the stimulation of the cold.
The nose smells the smell of rotting vegetation, the ears hear the chirping of birds, and the gentle sound of the wind. As for what's in front of...
In front of you is a field of dead branches and fallen leaves, which are naturally formed by the accumulation of forest all year round. In other words, in any forest, the ground is always covered with layers of old and new leaves.
After being stunned for a moment, the man with glasses stood up from the ground on his hands and feet.
He didn't bother dusting himself off. As soon as he stood up, the man stared at him intently with his eyes wide open.
As soon as you look in, the first thing that catches your eye is the darkness!
Yes, it is dark, extremely dark. Because the environment is too dark, even if it is believed to be daytime, the sun hanging high above the head cannot illuminate the dense forest. No matter how hard the sun shines, it can only barely illuminate the forest that should be as dark as ink.
The environment is changed to be slightly translucent.
Due to insufficient light and poor light transmission, the field of view is greatly reduced under environmental restrictions. The visual distance is only a dozen meters around, and if it continues to extend, only dense darkness remains.
Of course, even if the visibility was only a dozen meters, it was still enough for Zhao Ping to confirm his position instantly.
Inside the forest!
Unexpectedly, after falling unconscious, I would enter the forest inexplicably in seconds? Not long ago, I was at the edge of the forest, but I would actually end up inside the forest? A dim world where it is difficult to distinguish between east, west, north and south?
Not only that, apart from being confused in the forest, the surroundings were so empty that it was just me.
Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao, Kong Ling, Li Tianheng and Zhou Bingbing were all missing. Many of the teammates who were originally with them disappeared en masse, inexplicably missing traces in an illogical way.
It is conceivable that in the face of such a strange result, ordinary people would be shocked and shout in a panic, and the timid ones would even cry bitterly and collapse in despair, but...
Zhao Ping is different, only the man with glasses is different!
Even though he witnessed the gloomy environment at the scene, and even though he knew he was lost and trapped in the forest, the man still remained calm. After generally observing the scene, he raised his right arm and subconsciously adjusted his glasses.
As a result, he failed.
The habitual movements in the past were forced to terminate for the first time, and the right hand stopped looking at it when it was raised halfway.
The reason is that he discovered something. He found something extra in his right hand.
A card.
A white card about the same size as a playing card, with a blank back and an Arabic numeral 1 printed on the front.
this……
This is the digital card that Zhao Ping once revealed from the tree!
Seeing this scene, the man was stunned at first, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally said something inexplicable to himself:
"I see. It seems that my initial guess was correct. It's an unsolvable conspiracy that you have to take the initiative to jump into even if you know it's a trap."
That's right, just as the man in glasses muttered to himself just now, he has now completely figured it out, completely understood, and has a basic understanding of the meaning of the existence of digital cards. It is not complicated to explain, and he can understand it simply.
It is a certain mechanism, a passive triggering mechanism. If you have to describe it in detail in words, you can call it...
Space teleportation trigger mechanism!
………
The bright sun showed up in the blue sky as usual, but at some point, dark clouds drifted from the end of the horizon, then slowly swept under the cold wind, spread quietly, and finally occupied half of the sky.
The strange dark clouds did not rain. Instead, after occupying a large area of the sky, they fell apart and decomposed into countless fragments. After that, they scattered in the sky, causing the sunlight to scatter and gradually dimming the originally clear sky.
Glancing at the dim sky outside the window, He Fei turned his gaze and frowned, silent for a moment, and finally turned his gaze to Will.
As far as the eye can see, at this moment, the brown-haired man has a complex and troubled expression. It seems that he has completely torn away the cover-up after revealing the doubts in his heart. He no longer avoids taboos and even truly cares about the recent horror.
Yes, under repeated questioning by He Fei and others, Will told the truth and told everyone at the scene all the strange things he had witnessed and experienced since moving to Dalusin. In fact, in Will's personal eyes, he was just expressing his depression.
, after all, keeping something in your heart for a long time will cause people to gradually
Depression is becoming more and more uncomfortable, and the best way to relieve depression is undoubtedly to tell others to relieve stress. As the narrative is completed, the man with rice dumplings is rarely stressed, but the executors who are the audience at the scene are in turn stressed. Because, from the threat
Everyone found a lot of doubts there!
First of all, it is certain that there is indeed a terrifying existence hidden in the Dalusan area. As expected, the faceless man in a suit that Will saw in the living room was most likely the elongated mango. A monster should have existed.
It started as an urban legend, but under the influence of the curse, it completely evolved into a real evil creature. As for Tom...
He Fei was very curious, and was curious about many things, including curiosity about the boy himself and curiosity about the drawings the boy drew. Will said that Tom used to go to the forest to play, until one day he found a strange man standing on the edge of the forest.
Faceless man. At the same time, it was also the first time he saw a faceless man. The boy told his parents about it. From then on, his father
His mother forbade Tom to go to the forest again. Although he no longer went to the forest, Tom was so deeply impressed by the faceless man that he relied on his painting talent to draw him, taking all the shapes of the faceless man he had seen with his own eyes.
It was printed on the paper in the form of painting, and Will also saw the faceless man appearing in the living room immediately after seeing the painting.
The reason why the matter is not over is that in addition to telling what he saw and heard at the beginning of the move, Will also told everyone another thing at the end, that is, yesterday afternoon, when the executor had just arrived at the farm, Will had been at the farm.
The neighbor saw the painting again.
Compared to the drawing on the day of moving, a few days later, the drawing paper that was supposed to only contain the faceless man had an additional background.
There are two backgrounds: a black forest on the left and a farm-style house on the right.
After seeing the background, Will could instinctively connect the forest and houses with reality, and regarded the background in the painting as the southern forest and his own farm. To be honest, this was nothing at first, and the background he painted was nothing more than a child's random painting to enrich his personal work.
The added realistic scenery, after all, whether it is a forest or a farm, already exists in reality. This is true, but the problem is not here, but in the other two backgrounds that are not backgrounds, two round smiling faces that are both inexplicable and incomprehensible.
!
The black smiling face is outlined above the forest, and the white smiling face exists above the farm.
After thinking about this, the college student gradually became interested in the painting. He was eager to see the painting with his own eyes. After all, as the old saying goes, seeing is believing, and no matter how vividly Will described it, it was always worse than seeing it live.
Meaning, not to mention that clues often come from personal exploration.
then……
"Mr. Will, could you introduce your neighbor to us?"
Huh?
His expression was unexpected and his eyes were astonished. Sure enough, when He Fei asked him this question, Wilden, who had just been silent about his own frustrations just now, raised his head and looked back at the sofa. He looked at the young man in surprise. The reason was too simple.
As initially described, Will talked about it with everyone, and the initial point was that half of the expert team members went to the black
The purpose of narrating the strange past of the forest is to tell the group of agricultural experts in front of me that the forest is in danger and that you companions need to evacuate the forest as soon as possible. His intention was good, but what he got in exchange was that the other party didn't care? Not only did he not
Are you concerned about the safety of your companions, but after hearing your own story about your past, you suddenly talk about your neighbors, and then you want to introduce them to them?
"Um, Mr. He, your companions..."
Deception is a language skill, and whether you can deceive the other party depends on your personal logic skills. Facing Will's puzzled inquiry, He Fei certainly knew what the other party was thinking, and immediately shook his head and said with a helpless smile: "Will
Sir, now that the matter has come to an end, let’s open the skylight and speak frankly.
Well, do you really think that the institute will provide a lot of assistance to a mere farm like yours? Even using equipment? Such an unreasonable thing, at least I personally don’t think so. In fact, the so-called farm assistance is just incidental work, and ours
The main job is actually..."
At this point, he raised his finger and pointed out the window, and then opened his mouth with a solemn expression and continued: "The project development has locked the forest early, and the first task of the expert team here is to investigate the forest vegetation in advance and do their best to collect samples for subsequent fund mobilization.
I don’t know the final purpose or the specific details. I only heard that the institute is currently cooperating with a large pharmaceutical factory.”
Will got it, totally got it.
It turns out that the explosion of luck that he thought earlier was not the case at all. The research institute chose his own farm, and the main purpose of sending people here was the black forest located on the side of the farm. Agricultural assistance was only incidental, and the purpose was
He just regarded his house as a temporary hotel. It turns out that it was like this. No wonder the other party was still unmoved after hearing his warning and still did not recall the group of companions heading to the forest. It turned out to be due to work constraints.
Obviously, compared with the most direct loss of job, what kind of threat is the strange phenomenon that is not known to be true or false?
It stands to reason that anyone would be dissatisfied after learning the 'truth', but Will did not dare to reveal it at all. The reason was very simple. Even if the other party came here mainly to survey the forest and survey the vegetation, they still promised not to delay their assistance to the farm. Since
So, what else can he say?
So naturally, after hearing He Fei's "truth" about why he didn't call back his companions, even though Will was still worried, since there was no evidence that the forest was definitely dangerous, the brown-haired man could only give up the persuasion and return.
The topic, and He Fei relied on his
The superb deception ability made up for many unreasonable perfections, and he easily explained the reason for the detachment under Will's suspicious questioning. This scene was wonderful. Except for Cheng Ying and Qian Xueling, who reacted calmly because they understood the young man, the others were
Everyone was stunned!
Chen Shuihong sighed with respect and secretly, feeling that it was a pity for young people not to go to the government. It is no exaggeration to say that with the incredible deception ability of the young man in front of him, if he joins the government in the future, his future achievements will definitely be as good as his own!
As for the other two...
Chen Guangyu was simply surprised, but Peng Yuxiang's expression changed and his thoughts were restless. After witnessing He Fei's on-site deception, the thin man's already vigilant heart became more tense, and he suddenly realized under an increasingly strong consciousness.
The long-standing suspicion has officially turned into certainty.
(I guessed it right! These people are really not good people. They lie casually and perform flawlessly. Most of the newcomers who died before were deceived and exploited by these seniors...)
(What should I do? What should I do? Or how should I deal with it next?)
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
I don't know whether it was because of the surging thoughts that made it difficult to control his emotions, or because the cold aggravated again. Just when Peng Yuxiang was in a rough state of mind and couldn't sleep for a few seconds, the man suddenly coughed, which was more serious than yesterday. His body was shaking due to the constant coughing.
This time, I finally attracted the attention of others. Seeing that Peng Yuxiang looked different and was coughing loudly. Everyone, including He Fei, looked at him, and then...
Cheng Ying discovered something and noticed something first.
As a professional killer, the girl not only has excellent hands, but also has a sharp observation of details. Many times, she is still above He Fei and Zhao Ping. As her eyes shifted to glance at the man, the next moment, she found that Peng Yuxiang was coughing continuously.
In addition to his ugly face, a drop of blood also dripped down during the coughing process, and silently fell to the ground along the man's nasal cavity.
Seeing this, the girl's expression changed slightly and her pupils suddenly shrank. The only strange thing was that she didn't speak or make a sound, and she still maintained her initial silence.
"Brother Peng, what's wrong with you?"
"Yes, Lao Peng, what's wrong with you? I saw you coughing occasionally yesterday. Why is it worse today than yesterday?"
As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not do your job. If Cheng Ying, as an ordinary player, can ignore her teammates and only focus on herself, then He Fei, as the captain, cannot turn a blind eye no matter what. As expected, Peng Yuxiang's cough worsened and he seemed to be sick.
, the college student looked worried and asked, and Chen Guangyu also echoed.
"Cough, cough, cough, no, it's nothing, I guess I caught a cold yesterday because it was too cold." Faced with everyone's worried inquiries, Peng Yuxiang waved his hands and said it was okay. He said that the weather was too cold and he caught a cold, but that's what he thought in his heart, no.
He denied that he had been concerned about his cough problem at the beginning, but the problem was that he could not find the root cause and had no idea what was going on. Since he did not know, the man could only
I can explain myself by saying that the weather is too cold and I feel chilly. Although the reason is there, in fact Peng Yuxiang still doesn’t understand why he is the only one who has a cold? Why is it that so many people in the team are the only one who has a cold and cough? What’s more, in his impression
I have always been in good health. It is true that I am on the thin side, but as a busy driver who delivers goods in a sports car all year round, will I catch a cold easily?
Of course, what if you have a cold and a cough? What is a mere cold compared to the imminent danger?
"Huh? I caught a cold. Sir, are you okay? I have medicine at home. Just wait and I'll get it for you."
Will is worthy of being a kind and good person. He saw someone coughing at the scene. He was about to answer He Fei's question and didn't bother to answer. He hurriedly said hello and got up and left. He went straight to the living room cupboard. It seemed that he really wanted to take medicine out of kindness.
"Wait! Mr. Will, don't bother. We brought the medicine ourselves."
The man with the brown hair took the initiative to take the medicine out of good intentions. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up, He Fei shook his head and said no. He decisively rejected the man's kindness on the grounds that he had brought his own medicine. It was obvious that He Fei was lying, but he couldn't.
Not lying, after all, he didn't want Will to know the truth, or that his medicines had been looted by the executioners early in the morning, and were finally taken away from the farm by Zhao Ping and others.
"Well, if that's the case, then I won't bother with it." Faced with He Fei's polite refusal and spreading his hands, Will gave up.
As for He Fei...
He raised his head and glanced at the clock on the wall. The college student got back to the topic. After confirming that Peng Yuxiang probably just felt cold, he mentioned his earlier request again: "Will, regarding your neighbor..."
"Okay, no problem, I'll take care of this. In fact, even if you don't ask, I will take the initiative to introduce you to my neighbor's family. What's more, Tom himself is also very interested in you. If he hadn't gone out with his father,
Delivery, maybe you can see the little guy yesterday."
"Oh? You said Tom also wants to see us? Interesting, in that case, then it's better to choose a different date. How about you take us to your neighbor's house now?"
"Now? You mean now?"
"What? Is there a problem?"
"No, no, no, there's no problem, but it's lunch time now..."
"That's great. We can eat there then and chat while eating!"
When a person is completely shameless, then this person is often invincible. In order to meet Tom as soon as possible to collect clues, He Fei directly threw "being polite" out of the window and pulled Will's hesitant and embarrassed expression.
Rush to the gate.
As expected, when He Fei and He Fei walked out of the living room and looked at each other, Cheng Ying, who was well aware of the young man's intention, also looked at Qian Xueling and then both got up and followed. The senior man did this, and Chen Shuihong followed.
How could he dare to stay where he is? It can even be said that the middle-aged fat man has never been more than 10 meters away from the senior person since he entered the mission! He was frightened to death and was killed in the last battle.
The task of "Ji'" scared him to death. Since he knew that there must be monsters in the task world, he always stayed close to the senior people whether he was eating or sleeping. Even when he peeed in the middle of the night, he begged Chen Xiaoyao to accompany him. It is conceivable that with this
In such a frightened state, he dared not stay away from the three seniors headed by He Fei despite the fat man's courage. They were also the only three seniors left around him since the team was grouped.
It was too late, but it was too soon. As soon as Cheng Qian and the two girls left the house, Chen Shuihong jumped off the sofa like a sharp arrow and followed them quickly!
It is often said that yawning is contagious. In fact, fear is more obvious. Chen Shuihong ran out of the door in a hurry. How could Chen Guangyu be the same? Especially after confirming that only two newcomers, himself and Peng Yuxiang, were left at the scene, a chill swept over him in an instant.
Just leave and rush to the gate with the same speed as the middle-aged fat man.
but……
Just when he was about to go out, Chen Guangyu, who was about to rush out the door, suddenly remembered a certain promise he had made earlier. He hesitated for a moment, then turned back and stared at the living room.
As he turned around and cast his gaze, he saw that Peng Yuxiang was so quiet. He was sitting quietly on the corner of the sofa with his head lowered and silent. Although he lowered his head and showed no expression for the time being, this action alone still gave people a strange feeling.
A sense of calm.
(Um?)
Seeing this scene, Chen Guangyu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that there would be people at the scene who dared to ignore the order, and didn't even care about staying away from the senior people. What happened? Could it be that Peng Yuxiang had a fever caused by a cold, and then the fever made him confused?
"Hey, Lao Peng, why are you sitting there in a daze? Didn't you see that He Fei and the others have left?" Out of curiosity, Chen Guangyu asked tentatively. While asking, he returned, first returned to the living room and came to the front, and then stretched out his hand.
He stretched out his arm to touch the man, intending to touch his forehead to test whether he had a fever, but...
Snap.
Just when his palm was about to touch the thin man's forehead, the man moved. Peng Yuxiang, who had lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, suddenly raised his right hand and grabbed the other man's wrist before Chen Guangyu could touch it.
He removed the opponent's wrist and gently lowered his arm. Then, under Chen Guangyu's increasingly suspicious gaze, Peng Yuxiang slowly raised his head.
The other person's appearance in the eyes is still the same. However, if you look carefully and search carefully, you can still find slight changes in the thin man. The most obvious one comes from the other person's nose that is bleeding faintly!
Peng Yuxiang's nose was bleeding.
This time it was real bleeding, with blood flowing and dripping red in a way that could be clearly seen with the naked eye. At this moment, two lines of nosebleeds slowly flowed out from the left and right nostrils. It is true that the amount of blood is only a little sparse, but it is undeniable that
Peng Yuxiang did have a nosebleed.
"Ah, Lao Peng, your nose..."
Sure enough, as soon as he noticed that the other party was bleeding, Chen Guangyu instinctively reached out to look for a tissue. However, before he took out the tissue, Peng Yuxiang waved his hand again and said no, then he raised the corners of his mouth slightly in Chen Guangyu's doubtful eyes and spoke with a smile.
Say something, something inexplicable:
"Hehehe, if nothing else, the fact that you came back to call me just now is enough to prove that you are a trustworthy person. It seems that Brother Chen has indeed not forgotten our original alliance agreement. Well, since you keep your promise,
I, Lao Peng, don’t hide it anymore, now I just want to ask you one question, do you want to die or live?"
Many times, human reactions mostly depend on the problems at hand. For example, if a person cries and sheds tears, then he must face collapse and despair. For example, if a person is ecstatic, then he must have received great benefits, but if a person is frozen and silent, his expression is sluggish.
, then he must be confused and confused.
Facing the man's strange inquiry, Chen Guangyu was stunned. After a long time, he broke away and regained consciousness and asked: "What do you mean by this? How do you want to live? What if you want to die?"
"If you want to die, you can leave now, but if you want to live to the end, then you must help me get rid of someone first."
