"Qiao Mengting, time is running out, haven't you seen anything yet?" With unimaginable reluctance, He Fei suddenly spoke and asked the girl in a trembling tone that was almost broken. He still stared at the oil painting until now.
The silent Qiao Mengting.
Next…
Hula.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or she finally discovered some clues. The second after He Fei opened his mouth to ask, Qiao Mengting ended her observation. She no longer focused on the oil painting and looked at it intently. Instead, she looked serious as if she had found a key doubt. She frowned.
He locked his eyes tightly, and then suddenly raised his head to look at He Fei, frowning at He Fei while saying something, something that shocked He Fei and everyone present:
"Brother He Fei, I have a question to ask you. If you can answer it, maybe, maybe we won't have to die."
What!?
Because no one expected Qiao Mengting to say such an incredible thing, He Fei was shocked after hearing this. Not only was he shocked, but all the executioners at the scene were also shocked by the girl's remarks. Of course, everyone's reaction
The key point is that Qiao Mengting actually said that problems are connected with ways to break the situation. As long as the problems are answered, the team will gain hope for survival!
"What's the problem?"
Sure enough, seeing that the girl finally found something, how could He Fei dare to neglect? Busy followed closely and asked nervously, while Qiao Mengting was even more simple and direct without any nonsense. Seeing that He Fei looked nervous, the girl pointed at the oil painting, and then started talking in a complicated tone
And the main topic, or pointed out the details of the oil painting that the executor never paid attention to from beginning to end:
"Actually, from the first time I saw this oil painting, my subconscious told me that this painting has hidden mysteries. I always felt that there was something hidden in it. And brother He Fei, you have also made it clear that oil paintings are important, and it is precisely because of this.
Oil painting is important, so you observed the oil painting several times. During this period, I also accompanied you to carefully look at it, but found nothing. At first, I doubted myself, thinking that my initial feeling should be wrong, until..."
"It wasn't until I observed the oil painting again just now that I finally confirmed that my feeling was correct. I guessed it right. The oil painting did hide something. The thing hidden in the oil painting was the way to survive, which is what Brother He Fei you originally talked about.
The curse can be eliminated in time, yes, that’s right, the way to eliminate the painful curse is hidden in the oil painting!”
Bang!
It was like a loud thunder suddenly struck on a sunny day. When Qiao Mengting vowed that the way to eliminate the curse was hidden in the oil painting, except for a few people who were unconscious due to injuries, He Fei's expression changed, and Zhao Ping's expression changed.
Well, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, Tang Meng and Chen Shuihong all changed their expressions after hearing this.
Yan's heart suddenly tightened, and he felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. In the blink of an eye, before the girl could speak again, Chen Shuihong was already shaking his fat and asked quickly: "Is there hope? Sister Mengting, do you think we still have it?"
Want to avoid the annihilation of the entire army? Come on, speak up! Tell us the solution quickly!?"
As the most afraid of death in the crowd, when he heard that there was still hope, Chen Shuihong was instantly excited. He was so excited that he urged the girl with a face full of joy. In the process, his tone was respectful and he directly used the name "sister", completely forgetting that he had been using "sister" not long ago.
When the girl addresses the other person, it can be regarded as being aware of current affairs.
It is true that Chen Shuihong's ability to adapt to the situation is excellent, but unfortunately the girl ignored him at all. She just glanced at the middle-aged fat man with disdain, and then continued to He Fei: "As for the key point of eliminating the curse..."
Snap.
After saying that, Qiao Mengting moved, and directly pointed at the oil painting again under the gaze of He Fei and everyone else. No, no, compared to just now, this time the girl did not point at the oil painting itself, but further pointed at a certain part of the oil painting.
Point to the background behind the couple in the painting, the stark contrast between day and night!
……………
"The background of the oil painting? The day and night at both ends?"
It was as if a huge stone was thrown into the calm lake water. Under the spray of water, He Fei's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he instinctively repeated the content of the oil painting in his mouth. The content was undoubtedly the position of the oil painting that Qiao Mengting was referring to, that is, the person behind the couple.
The background color is exactly the clear sky that represents the day and the pitch-black curtain that represents the night.
Because he had seen the oil painting many times during this period, not only He Fei knew it, but all the people who executed it knew that there were many unusual things about this painting, such as the oil painting being close to the star formation, and the postures and movements of the men and women in the painting.
, such as the strange spells on the borders of the portraits, etc., which naturally also include the background
The day and night exist in two ends on the left and right of the oil painting. They exist side by side according to the positions of the men and women in the painting. Behind the man on the left is daytime, and behind the woman on the right is night. One is black and the other is white.
, thus adding a strange color to the already suspicious oil painting.
Of course, He Fei has cared about the background issue. After all, the visual deviation caused by the black and white background is enough to attract anyone's attention. Because he has always cared about it, He Fei has thought about it. If he couldn't think of anything at the beginning, then he will wait for a browse
After reading the letter from the necromancer, He Fei understood and understood the hidden meaning of day and night, which indicates the time of the man and woman in the painting. To put it bluntly, it can be understood that the two are separated, and one appears during the day.
One appears at night, and the two parties can never meet.
As mentioned above, through analysis and understanding, He Fei thinks so, or that is how he initially saw it. In his opinion, there are indeed hidden meanings during the day and night, but this so-called hidden meaning only tells the executor about things.
It is only the time when it is located, which at most proves the existence of the Curse of Pain. There is nothing else left. At least it has nothing to do with eliminating the curse. No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the way to survive, but...
Who would have thought that just like this oil painting background that He Fei had already judged had nothing to do with the road to life, now Qiao Mengting said that the background was connected to the road to life. In addition to implying time, it also contained a way to eliminate the curse!
This is……
Double metaphor!
Unexpectedly, a mere oil painting can have two meanings at the same time!
With his clever mind, He Fei once found and cracked the first level of hidden meanings, but now Qiao Mengting has discovered the second level of hidden meanings, that is, the background hides a way out and a way to eliminate the curse!
The above is He Fei's personal understanding, a straightforward analysis of Qiao Mengting's remarks. Of course, this is He Fei's understanding, and others have almost the same idea. In fact, when Qiao Mengting tells the background, it is very likely that there is a hidden way to eliminate the curse.
After that, everyone instantly understood the key and understood what the girl wanted to express. The only thing they didn't quite understand was...
How did Qiao Mengting discover it?
How did she find the deep hint in the background of the oil painting that even He Fei couldn't find?
This is so strange and amazing. First of all, we must understand who He Fei is and who he is. There is no doubt that He Fei is an out-and-out veteran and a rare smart person in the world. From the past to the present,
Anyone who is familiar with He Fei is not unaware of the young man's ability. His analysis is powerful, his reasoning is top-notch, and he can even use multiple thinking angles to look at problems. Evidence? No evidence is needed. Just because He Fei can survive to this day is
optimal
The evidence is conceivable. For such a person who is very good at reasoning, it stands to reason that he can deal with any puzzle except unsolvable dead ends, and can discover various hidden clues. It is strange to say so.
But this time, facing the background of the oil painting, He Fei didn't notice it. After racking his brains, he only found the first layer of hidden meanings, while the second layer of hidden hidden meanings was discovered by Qiao Mengting, who was actually discovered by a person who was performing a supernatural mission for the first time.
New guy discovered!?
What's going on?
No one can find the answer to what happened specifically. Not to mention that they can't find the answer. Even Qiao Mengting herself can't explain the reason.
Apartment, the reason is obviously not
She is smarter than He Fei, just kidding. With He Fei's level of reasoning, I dare not say that there is no one who surpasses him in the world, but there are definitely only a handful of them. Even Zhao Ping, who has the same top-notch IQ, is slightly inferior, let alone the one who is currently the best.
Qiao Mengting, who is just a newcomer
Well, the key to the girl's ability to find that deep hidden meaning that even Zhao Ping and even He Fei couldn't find was reception, a kind of inexplicable thought reception. If we had to get to the bottom of it and explain the reason, the reason was just as Qiao Mengting herself said.
Like that, subconsciously, it was her subconscious that told her that oil painting was important, unparalleled importance, and then reminded her to observe and search all the time, so she instinctively cared about oil painting, and then observed oil painting all the time, and the level of care was even higher than that of He Fei...
As the saying goes, nothing in the world is difficult, only those who are willing can do it, which means that long-term concentration can always produce better results than temporary concentration. Yes, He Fei is smart and good at reasoning, but the problem is that he needs to do too many things. As a team
Captain, He Fei not only needs to control the overall situation but also find a way out. At the same time, he is also responsible for the dispatch and command of the team members.
Wait, all kinds of things have made He Fei a busy man. He is shouldering the responsibility of captain all the time. However, it is precisely because he has too many problems to consider. He Fei is short of time. Except for the most critical way of survival, he can't.
Researching a certain problem for a long time, at least in this task, he was unable to do long-term research, which resulted in
The root cause of his inability to conduct long-term research is precisely time. Time is too tight, and the reality does not give He Fei enough time to think. But Qiao Mengting is different, completely different. She is just a newcomer, and in the eyes of all the executors,
She is a dispensable existence. Since entering the castle, no one has paid attention to her, even if she appeared during the period.
Everyone never let her, an inexperienced newcomer, deal with the problem. Others thought so, and He Fei almost meant the same thing. So, under the collective neglect of He Fei and other members, Qiao Mengting became
An idler, an idler who does not need to do anything, an idler who is victorious as long as he lives.
Because of this, Qiao Mengting had time and became the person with the most time in the team in a sense. She did not need to worry about everything like He Fei, nor did she need to have her own tasks like other seniors, so she started to care.
After learning about oil painting, she devoted all her time to observing the content of the oil painting. The result was positive. Because she only focused on the oil painting, plus
With enough time, she gradually discovered many clues. First, she realized the superficial implications of the oil painting background, and came to almost the same analysis result as He Fei, that is, day and night represent time, the mummy worm and the purple-haired woman.
She originally thought that the hidden meaning of the background was limited to this time of appearance, but her subconscious asked her to continue digging deeper and continue to analyze the background.
Then, with enough time and following the guidance of her subconscious, Qiao Mengting carefully observed and analyzed the background of the oil painting again. Although there was a danger during the period, which caused her and He Fei to be separated, during the subsequent hiding time, Qiao Mengting still thought about the background.
.
It is also worth mentioning that because the background of the oil painting was too obscure, even though she had enough time, Qiao Mengting was unable to analyze it and could not find the deeper value clue until...
It wasn't until He Fei sent a spiritual link not long ago, and then told everyone that eliminating the curse was the real key to completing the mission, that Qiao Mengting suddenly realized it. She figured out the key in an instant as if she was inspired, and understood that day and night, in addition to implying time,
At the same time, there is also a way to eliminate the curse! In other words, as long as we understand the deeper meaning of day and night, everyone can complete the mission and return smoothly!
As for how to understand it? Or how to analyze the deeper meaning of day and night?
Qiao Mengting couldn't solve this problem, not because she was destined to be unable to solve it, but because she ran out of time. Staring at the increasingly dim red light beam in front of her, she had no time to think about it and analyze it.
So she could only hand over the problem to He Fei, the young captain who was the only one who had any hope of solving the mystery in a short time!
"Brother He Fei, I am 90% sure that there is a way to eliminate the curse hidden in the background of the oil painting. Unfortunately, I can't find it. I have been thinking for several hours to no avail. And my question is..."
"Can you find a way to remove the curse from the background representing day and night?".
At this moment, after listening to Qiao Mengting's question, the crowd fell silent.
Everyone who was still awake, including Zhao Ping, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, Tang Meng and Chen Shuihong, was stunned. They were shocked by Qiao Mengting's vows. They didn't expect that the way to eliminate the curse was hidden in the background of the oil painting.
, is actually closely related to day and night. If this is true, then...
As expected, the sluggishness only lasted for a moment. Soon, everyone shook off the shock and frowned, thinking hard, with obvious expressions of understanding. Yes, since they were basically sure that the oil painting background hid a way out of the situation, it was important for them not to want to die.
Take the time to search.
As for He Fei...
His face was expressionless, and his body was frozen.
The whole person fell into an indescribable strange state, a state of selflessness that was very similar to Qiao Mengting's earlier.
For smart people, the choice of road is often not difficult. They only need to use their brains a little to find the right direction. Therefore, with his smart mind, He Fei found the general direction. His layout strategy is correct. From the beginning to the present
During this period, He Fei never missed a move. In this life-and-death chess game against the beasts, He Fei never missed a move.
The stalemate was maintained in the end, but it was a pity that it was useless and of little significance. Although He Fei's strategy was correct and the direction he chose did connect to the end of the escape route, the problem was that the road was not smooth and full of thorns and bumps. Not only
It is not flat, and there is a wall at the end, which means that the end of the road to survival is behind the wall.
In fact, after seeing this, the above meaning is already clear, that is, He Fei's general direction is correct. From the initial scattered crowds to collect clues, to the integration of clues and inference analysis, and finally to the key points to lock the curse, every step has been
It was a correct, almost textbook coping strategy. His strategy was not wrong, but he ran into trouble just before he reached the end. Trouble refers to the wall, and what represents the wall blocking the way is the removal of the curse.
How to get rid of the curse imposed on the monster?
If he doesn't find a way to remove the curse, he won't be able to reach the end, and the only outcome will be death.
Facing the tall wall blocking his way, He Fei was helpless at first. He could neither go around nor climb over. However, who would have thought that just when he was at his wits' end, Qiao Mengting appeared in time to help him, thus giving him a new life.
He handed over a pile of wood that represented hope. At this moment, he only had to do one thing, and that was to combine the wood. Combine this pile of seemingly messy wood into a ladder, a ladder that could climb over the wall to the end.
ladder!
(The black and white background of the oil painting hides the method to eliminate the curse, or the method to eliminate the curse is related to day and night. If this is the case, then, how should I analyze it or even where should I start?)
(Damn! My mind is so messed up that I can’t find the starting point. How can I continue without a starting point? Time is running out!).
Time passed quietly, and his thoughts were overwhelming. He stared at the red light pillar that had dimmed greatly. Currently, He Fei was thinking desperately, and was racing with the god of death, trying to find a way to eliminate the curse before the light pillar disappeared. To be honest, with He Fei's
ability, he has the ability to participate
He realized and analyzed the hidden clues, but before that, he had to find a clear starting point, which was the initial starting point. Without a starting point, he could not make further deliberations, and what he was looking for at this moment was the starting point, a clue that was too complicated to find.
starting point of reasoning, but...
(Um?)
It was like a huge lightning flashed suddenly in the rainstorm. It was delayed and then it was fast. At the distressed moment when He Fei was troubled by his thoughts and didn't know where to start, suddenly, he thought of something. He was immersed in memories for no reason.
Then I remembered something from my memories, an earlier past that I still remember until now. In my memory, when I went to the carriage to check the mission information, Zhao Ping, who was also at the scene, specifically mentioned the word "loneliness"
.
Lonely!
Yes, it is loneliness. Because the name of this mission is rather weird, Zhao Ping paid a little attention to it at that time. Later, he further speculated that loneliness might be a key point. Seeing that Zhao Ping mentioned it deliberately, He Fei would definitely keep it in mind. If he ignored it,
, then it is impossible for him to think of this matter at this moment. However, who would have thought that it was precisely because of the sudden thought of the word 'loneliness' that He Fei found the starting point of analysis! Not only did he find the direction to start, but he even found the starting point of the analysis.
It further connects "loneliness" with day and night!
(Loneliness literally means separation. It generally refers to the separation and farewell between people. It means that the two parties are separated and unable to meet each other. Day and night also separate the mummy hawk and the purple-haired female hawk, so that one of them can only appear during the day and the other
They can only show up at night, so this couple who loves each other deeply
They will never be able to meet each other. Since they cannot meet each other, loneliness reasonably explains the state of both parties. Since the two hawks are equally lonely, what is the way to eliminate loneliness? The way is very simple. Just let the two parties meet. This is so simple that even a child
We all know the answer, but the question is...)
(We can’t meet! There is no way to meet. Due to the painful curse imposed by the devil, whether it is a mummy or a purple-haired female, both parties are restricted day and night. The mummy can’t see it during the day.
To the purple-haired female hawk, which turns purple at night
The female worm also cannot find the mummy worm, so this is a dead end with no solution, a dead end that no matter how you think about it, there is no way to solve it, at least in the eyes of the mortal executor, there is no solution... huh?
Wait, wait, sky, sky outside the window...)
There was no reason, no reason, to keep his brain running at a high speed. At the last moment when He Fei was about to fall into a blind corner of his thinking again, he kept staring at the light beam and discovered something. Through the distant castle window, he saw the outside world and witnessed
Sky.
As far as the eye can see, I can see that the sky, which was dark and lightless earlier, has suddenly brightened significantly. The darkness is about to disappear, and daytime is coming!
Yes, with the help of the unique and powerful defense of the Brilliant Pearl, the Executor has been able to hold on until now. He has persisted for half an hour under the crazy attack of the female locust. As time passes by, the sky that was already approaching daylight naturally becomes a little bit brighter.
It gets brighter, a little bit brighter, and the current specific time is...
5:44 am!
One minute, only one minute left, only the last minute left before the light beam!!!
what does that mean?
It means that He Fei is about to die, Zhao Ping is about to die, Peng Hu is about to die, and everyone is about to die. In just one minute, the light pillar that originally protected them will disappear, and as long as the light pillar disappears, then it will be
The death date of He Fei and everyone else, they will die, and will soon be blasted to pieces by the crazy female wolf!
This is the final death sentence, this is the last remaining time, but, or rather strangely...
Seeing that there was not much time left, He Fei was no longer afraid of the imminent annihilation of his entire army. His inner fear had basically disappeared, at least it was no longer as full of despair as before. There was only one reason why he was no longer afraid, and that was...
"I found it, I found it, I found a way to eliminate the curse!!!"
