Not to mention how Xie Cheng nodded frantically under Cheng Ying's death threat, and how Chen Jianzheng was glad that he didn't say anything. While both of them were frightened, they only focused on the word 'game'.
Kong Ling was already overjoyed, after learning that everyone was about to disperse.
He suddenly became interested, and then he jumped up and down with his two ponytails dangling, clapped his hands and cheered: "Haha, fun, fun, now it's interesting. I can't wait to participate in this game called 'Escape to Heaven', yes
Okay, Sister Cheng Ying, Sister Tang Meng, you guys talk first, I'm going to charge the generator!"
There was no need to explain. Because she was born with no fear, and she was still young and loved to play. Even though the manor was gloomy and she knew that there were slugs in the manor, the girl did not show the slightest nervousness. Instead, she couldn't wait to leave first. It was obvious that
I want to try my own hands on how to charge the generator! This situation is shocking, and everyone is secretly dumbfounded when I see it.
It's a pity...
"Wait! Kong Ling, please wait a moment!"
"Huh? What's wrong with Sister Cheng Ying?"
The girl became playful and tried to leave, but Cheng Ying quickly grabbed her and touched her head. Cheng Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Kong Ling, please wait."
While speaking, Cheng Ying reached into her pocket and quickly took out a small communicator.
Upon seeing this, everyone was suddenly enlightened and hurriedly took out the machine. The purpose was very simple, that is, to test whether the communication was normal. Next, a miracle happened!
After a simple test, I saw that the communicator, which was often blocked in the mission world, can now communicate smoothly! No matter who contacts whom, all the executors in the manor can talk to each other through the machine. The result is positive, see communicator signal
Normally, everyone is overjoyed and there is no need to explain. After all, everyone knows the importance of smooth signal.
After confirming that the signal was smooth and uninterrupted, and seeing that the time had reached 00:10 without realizing it, Cheng Ying looked at her watch. Without hesitation, Cheng Ying nodded and directly told everyone: "According to the mission, from now on,
Everyone dispersed and manually charged the generators scattered throughout the manor. If there was any abnormality, they could use the communicator to contact each other. Remember, no matter what, 10 machines must be fully charged within 5 hours. Okay,
I’ve said all that needs to be said, then…”
"action!"
Ta da da, da da da.
Following Cheng Ying's order, everyone nodded and immediately dispersed in different directions. Kong Ling jumped forward and rushed to the front. Tang Meng ran non-stop to the north, while Li Tianheng took a detour and ran to the back of the villa. Even Shen Jian
He Xie
Forced by Cheng Ying's gaze, Cheng Ying both forced themselves to disperse, watching the few people drifting away. Cheng Ying did not act immediately, but slightly lowered her head and looked down at her, looking at the person who was still being cruelly beaten by her until now.
Taoist priest surnamed Chen who steps on the soles of his feet!
"Woo, woo woo woo..."
Maybe the female killer stepped on her foot too hard. At this moment, Chen Xiaoyao looked extremely miserable. In addition to continuing to struggle and scream in pain, there was faint foam coming out of his mouth! It was obvious that if he continued to step on her for a while, this guy would be very miserable.
There are eight or nine cases where his neck will be trampled and he will die!
"snort!"
Fortunately, Cheng Ying had no intention of killing this man. Seeing that Taoist Chen was foaming at the mouth and already half dead, she snorted coldly. Cheng Ying took back her right foot and turned to leave. Before leaving, she gave a cold warning: "I'll spare you this time."
You have half a life, get up quickly and go find the generator!"
So, just like that, when Cheng Ying also turned around and disappeared into the night, only Chen Xiaoyao was left on the scene, and the game cursed by the name "Escape to Heaven" has officially begun!
……………
The round moon hangs in the night sky above. Under the moonlight, the manor is quiet and silent. It is so quiet that there is no breeze. Because there is no wind and no sound, the surrounding trees and vegetation tend to be still. It feels like a frozen scene.
Of course, the feeling is just a feeling, and it is not actually the case. The evidence that represents the denial is the human figures moving around below.
Yes, compared to previous supernatural missions, which were full of mysteries and often relied on investigating clues to find a way out, this mission is quite special. In addition to being divided into game modes, the curse also rarely gave the executor clear hints, that is, directly
clarify the direction of life, and
The way to survive is 10 generators scattered throughout the manor. The executor only needs to fully charge all the generators before the time reaches 5 o'clock in the morning. At that time, the gate of the manor will open by itself. If the executor has not left the manor before the time limit is reached,
, then all that awaits everyone is obliteration.
There is a clear direction of escape and a specific game process, so it is natural that in order to escape from the manor in 5 hours, the executor must race against time no matter what. Since every second counts, then dispersed actions are undoubtedly inevitable.
The manor has a large area and a complex internal environment. The most obvious building is a dilapidated villa erected in the middle of the manor.
In front of the villa door, at this moment, looking at Cheng Ying's slender back that had faded into the night, Chen Xiaoyao trembled twice before standing up on his hands and knees and wailing.
"Oh, my neck, my neck..."
Perhaps because he was afraid that Cheng Ying would really step on his neck, Chen Xiaoyao kept performing from the moment he was stepped on, wailing miserably at the girl's feet. In the end, he deliberately foamed at the mouth and convulsed, sparing no effort to disguise himself as someone on the verge of death.
Not to mention the dead state, this trick had an effect. Seeing that the wretched Taoist priest was about to die, the female killer took back her right foot and immediately put down Ju Bing.
After Leng warned him, he turned around and disappeared into the night. Only when the other party disappeared did Chen Xiaoyao dare to stagger to his feet. To be honest, although his earlier pain was a bit of a show, it was still undeniable that he was indeed stepped on so hard that he was half dead.
He didn't make it, but he was still slightly injured. As soon as he got up, Taoist Chen stood in front of the villa, grinning and rubbing his neck, cursing...
"Damn! You stepped on me in front of a newcomer, don't you want to lose face? Ah Ying, just wait for me, I will definitely provoke Peng Hu to trouble you next time!" Looking at the direction where the female killer left, she patted the shit.
As expected, Chen Xiaoyao was unhappy and wanted to take revenge, so he quickly constructed a plot to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
The revenge plan directly uses a certain bald man who is the only one in the entire team who dares to challenge the female killer as a tool. Of course, revenge is revenge, and plans are plans. In fact, it is just something to talk about later. It is not the time to think about this yet, or in other words, he still has something to say at the moment.
The more important thing to do is...
Charge the generator!
Sure enough, after rubbing his neck, he scanned the empty and dark manor environment. The next moment, Chen Xiaoyao moved and hurriedly walked around the villa to the right. Yes, because he had watched the video preview in advance, Chen Daoshi knew the terrain of the manor.
Understand the environment of the manor, and also know the locations of many generators. As expected, there should be a generator on the right side not far from the villa.
Since there are only 7 executors at full capacity, there are 10 generators. In addition, no one went to the right side when the team just broke up, which means that the generator is currently vacant. In order to end the game and return to the train as soon as possible, others
Spreading out to look for the machine, Chen Xiaoyao also had to seize the time to charge it.
However...
In front of the villa, as soon as he turned around, just when Chen Xiaoyao was about to move to the right as planned, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and for some reason, he stopped.
During the pause, he put his right hand into his pocket and took out the cat-eye flashlight.
Snap.
As the switch was pressed to turn on the power, the flashlight beam shone to the side and straight to the door of the villa.
The result was certain. Since the villa was dilapidated and had no door, the light easily reached the living room and instantly locked onto something, the statue, the skeleton statue holding a sickle and wearing a black robe!
As mentioned in the description at the beginning, due to watching the video preview in advance, the executor has a basic understanding of the manor. Since he understands it, it must include this weird statue displayed on the first floor of the villa. It is true that the statue has a weird shape and an ugly appearance.
It was called terrifying, and it even made the executioner shocked and nervous, but then again
After all, the statue is just a statue. It is a stone dead object carved from pure rock. When Chen Xiaoyao walked out of the villa, he deliberately touched the skull statue. However, no matter how he touched it or observed it, he even raised his hand to knock and listen to the sound.
, the answer is always a statue, a solid object made entirely of rock.
Since the statue is indeed made of the purest stone, and there is nothing abnormal about it, does the executor still need to be nervous and concerned?
The answer is of course that it is not necessary. It is precisely because the statue is ordinary and has no abnormality that Cheng Ying and other executors will ignore it. Even the special ethereal eyes do not see anything, otherwise the girl would have warned everyone.
only……
Just such an ordinary skull statue, a dead stone object that was so ordinary that even Cheng Ying, who was always good at observation, ignored it, was now inexplicably noticed by Chen Xiaoyao. Prompted by that inexplicable intuition, he instinctively took out his flashlight and focused his gaze again.
observe.
At this moment, with the help of the excellent light-gathering ability of the cat's eye flashlight, through the door, Chen Xiaoyao was staring at the sculpture motionless.
With the help of bright lights, the two-meter-high sculpture is clearly visible to the eye. In the field of vision, most of the fleshless body is wrapped in robes, and the exposed face is completely a skeleton. In addition to the tall body and terrifying shape, the bone hands are also tight.
He is holding a huge scythe that is almost the same height as his body. The overall shape is extremely terrifying. Even if it is just a statue, ordinary people will still subconsciously feel fear after taking a look at it. What's even more terrifying is...
If you only look at the appearance of the sculpture, unless you are a country dweller like Chen Xiaoyao who lives in the mountains all year round and has no contact with outside information, anyone will instinctively think of a certain existence from the appearance of the sculpture, a kind of creature that can harvest life in Western legends.
Horror exists...
Let’s not talk about the specifics for now. Anyway, Taoist Chen couldn’t imagine that kind of existence. Even so, he still instinctively cared about the statue prompted by some inexplicable intuition, and even smelled a hint of danger from the statue.
, a hint of coldness without any logic or even evidence, and this is the real reason why he stopped abruptly and looked at the statue.
However, the intuition is true, but after all, he has inspected the statue, and the statue itself is a solid statue. There is nothing abnormal about it. To say the least, even if there is something abnormal about the statue, all the people, including Chen Xiaoyao,
It is impossible for the executioner to do anything to the statue. After all, the statue is huge and made of granite.
Well, with this abnormal hardness, a bullet hitting it can only create a white spot. Unless it is exploded with a bomb or forcibly dismembered with the help of professional machinery, it is absolutely impossible for humans to destroy it in a short time, not to mention that the executor is still unable to do so.
In a race against time, all 10 generators must be fully charged within a limited time, so...
Facing such a strange statue that could not be destroyed, Chen Xiaoyao was in crisis, but he couldn't do anything. The only thing he could do was to be cautious when moving the house, and by the way, he did a small move that he didn't know if it was useful.
for example……
He took back the flashlight and glanced around on both sides. After seeing that the environment was still dead and nothing unusual, Chen Xiaoyao walked into the villa and returned to the living room. He first came to the statue, and then took out a yellow Taoist talisman from his arms.
And then...
Snap!
Keeping his brows furrowed, Taoist Chen rotated his hands and shook them up and down. After quickly making a Taoist gesture of unknown meaning, with a slight sound, the Taoist talisman was attached to the chest of the statue.
After doing this, Chen Xiaoyao walked away without saying a word. Since the villa was dilapidated and there were no doors or windows, Chen Xiaoyao was too lazy to turn back and go out. Instead, with his agility that was not inferior to Cheng Ying's, he jumped up and passed directly from the side.
The window jumps out of the villa.
Boom.
Landing as smoothly as a squirrel, Chen Xiaoyao ran straight into the night and ran for about two hundred meters. Soon, at a hidden intersection leading to the backyard, he found his target, a car about half the height of a person.
The square machine comes into view.
Obviously, this is a generator, a hand-operated generator. It is also the first time that Chen Xiaoyao has observed this object up close.
With the help of the moonlight, I lowered my head and took a closer look. I saw that the machine had complicated parts all over it, and various unknown circuits were exposed on the rusty motor body. Its complexity was enough to make people dizzy. It can be said that with this level of complexity, unless you are a professional
Electrician, otherwise any
It's hard for anyone to sort out the clues, not even ordinary people, especially Chen Xiaoyao, who is a country boy. Fortunately, there are no absolutes in anything. Although the generator is complicated and confusing, the handle that looks like a tractor starting rocker clearly tells the story.
How does his machine operate?
"Well, turning this thing should be enough, right?"
Seeing the joystick on the side of the machine, Chen Xiaoyao, who was a country boy but not an idiot, understood it in an instant. He muttered to himself, then held the joystick with a trial attitude and started to exert force, officially turning the machine joystick, and then
…
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
Buzz, buzz buzz.
As the joystick is turned up and down, the next moment, the machine makes a sound. At the same time as the mechanical sound is made, a display screen above the machine gradually lights up as the joystick turns. Looking closely, I see numbers appearing on the screen.
The initial 0:00 is transformed into 0:001.
Seeing this, Chen Xiaoyao instantly understood! Yes, as expected, the numbers on the display should represent the power value. That is, the longer the joystick is rotated, the higher the value will be until it reaches an integer of 100. Once the value increases
to 100, it means that the generator is fully charged!
The above is the power supply logic that Chen Xiaoyao instantly understood during the rotation. The process is extremely simple. It is nothing more than turning the joystick repeatedly. That is true, but the problem is that the power generated is too small!?
Yes, after holding the joystick and turning it for a full minute, the value on the screen representing electricity only increased from 0:01 to 0:10.
Is this him...?
Faced with this extremely slow power generation speed, even though Chen Xiaoyao's math skills were only average, he still quickly calculated the approximate time it would take to reach full power, half an hour! In other words, if you want to charge a generator
To fully charge it, you have to keep turning the rocker for at least half an hour, and the generator is not allowed to leave the machine during work, and must always stay in front of the machine and turn it by hand!
First of all, you need to know that there are currently 10 generators scattered in the manor. The task time limit is 5 hours. There are 7 executors. They can charge 7 motors at the same time. If, if we use this speed and the number of people to make statistical estimates,
, if you want to fully charge all 10 motors, it is estimated that it can be completed in 4 hours.
Seeing this, some people may want to ask, since the seven executors are enough to charge all 10 motors before the time limit is reached, why does Chen Xiaoyao feel uneasy after estimating the time?
reason?
The reason is very simple, that is...
Although what everyone is currently performing is just a game, a cursed game called "Escape to Heaven", it is also a supernatural mission! And in any supernatural mission, there are always dangers in it, which can be fatal to the executor.
Threatening danger of death!
As for what exactly represents danger? Without even thinking about it, the answer is often a wolf!
If during the mission, the hawk acting as the supervisor appears and attacks the executor, or if an executor is chased or killed by the hawk during the task, how many executors will be able to actually work in front of the motor to generate electricity?
There is no doubt that if this happens, the apparent 4 hours will be extended, even to the point where it will be difficult to fully charge all the motors within 5 hours. Once all the motors cannot be fully charged before 5 o'clock in the morning,
The manor door cannot be opened. Failure to open means escape failure. Failure to escape is equivalent to the annihilation of all members. All executors in the manor will be forced to die by the curse rules.
Time is urgent, extremely urgent!
"Gan! Curse you, you bastard, for actually setting the time to be so tight. You did it on purpose. You must have done it on purpose! I wish you were struck dead by thunder and no one was dead!"
Creak, creak, buzz, buzz...
After thinking about the logical cause and effect, Chen Xiaoyao suddenly felt that time was running out. Under the urgency, the young man suddenly became angry and cursed frequently. Although he greeted and cursed his family, his movements did not stop. After that, he just stayed next to the machine and worked.
He was shaking the phone while cursing with anger.
It is conceivable that even Chen Xiaoyao can quickly figure out the truth, why don't other people understand it? How can it be unclear? Just when Chen Xiaoyao was standing in front of a motor at an intersection, hand-cranking the generator and cursing, his vision moved sideways and crossed the
The central villa, and finally came to a dense grassland adjacent to the villa...
Creak, creak, buzz, buzz.
"The curse next door to Mahle, you will not die well! You will not die well!"
The same shaking sound, the same curse words. If you look closely through the grass, you will see a generator displayed in the grass, and there is also a person beside the motor, a young man with a hairy head who is gnashing his teeth and cursing in a low voice.
He cursed, but he never stopped moving. He kept holding the joystick tightly and turning it in circles. The actual state was almost the same as Chen Xiaoyao's. Of course,
If we have to look for differences, strictly speaking there are some differences. Yes, compared to Daoshi Chen who can only work openly and openly due to the open area where he is located, this motor located in dense grass is obviously much more hidden because the location of the motor is relatively hidden.
, Li Tianheng was not aboveboard, but half-knelt on the ground and shook, using the cover of grass to charge secretly, but it was a pity...
Although the grass can cover the body to a certain extent and facilitate concealment, Li Tianheng's anxious state of mind cannot be concealed no matter what. It is obvious that, like Chen Xiaoyao, as soon as he found the motor and started working, the young man with the glitch also quickly calculated the time when the motor was fully charged.
The approximate time, coupled with the fact that there are too many motors, if the supervisor played by Qi comes out during this period, the consequences will be disastrous!
It is true, but it is also true. In the grass, shaking his arms, turning the joystick, and staring at the pitiful value of only 0:12 on the screen, Li Tianheng was frightened and scared, fearing that an accident would occur during the period, which would lead to his already
He was pressed for time and could not continue charging.
At the same time, the view shifted again, passing through the grass on the east side, passing through the adjacent tunnel, and finally came to another open area covered with weeds, which is the west corner of the manor.
Compared to the east side of the manor, which is close to the villa and is small in area, the west side area is quite spacious. Although it is also overgrown with weeds, the weeds are only in the corners. In the middle, there is a scrapped truck that has been unable to start. Of course, the truck is parked in the middle.
It's not the point. The point is that there is also a square motor opposite the truck.
Next to the motor, Cheng Ying frowned, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes full of nervousness, and she was just staring at the screen in silence.
There is no doubt that Cheng Ying was in front of the motor. Although she did not move and just stared, she could be sure that she must have turned the motor before, observed the values, and then quickly obtained the calculation results that were exactly the same as those of Chen and Li. The result was that time was running out.
, even if everyone scattered around to work collectively, it still took 4 hours to complete the task.
But, something strange is...
The facts are clearly in front of us, and time is obviously tight. However, in reality, Cheng Ying did not start working as hurriedly as Chen Xiaoyao or Li Tianheng. She did not crank the electricity by hand. Instead, she frowned and pondered after testing the power generation speed. She thought for a moment, girl.
He moved, turned to look behind him, and looked at an iron gate near the motor. The gate was none other than the west gate of the manor that had long been sealed due to lack of electricity.
Next, Cheng Ying moved, prompted by some unknown thoughts, and walked straight to the opposite door.
