As far as I can see, I see a brightly lit villa living room in front of me. I am currently standing next to the sofa, with two women sitting on the left and right, one large and one small. The older one is very beautiful, and the younger one has a cute appearance.
An underage girl, and outside lay a young man wearing a shit-yellow coat. The young man had his eyes closed for a long time and did not react.
There were also two pale men sitting opposite, one was fat and bald, the other was tall and wearing a sweater. When Zhao Ping woke up, except for the young man who was motionless due to coma, there were also a beautiful woman and a minor who were originally worried.
Both girls looked happy, but the bald man and the tall man still looked timid.
There is no doubt that the beautiful woman is Tang Meng, the underage girl is Kong Ling, and the young man who was unconscious the whole time is Chen Xiaoyao. As for the two men sitting opposite, they are undoubtedly the newcomers Wang Xuegui and Sun Zhiyong. Of course, these
It's not the point, the point is...
After scanning a few people with his eyes, Zhao Ping discovered something, something was not quite right.
"Zhao Ping, wake up!"
"Uncle Glasses, you finally woke up, great!"
As expected, when they saw the man with glasses wake up, whether it was Tang Meng or Kong Ling, the two women were all happy. But the strange thing was that Zhao Ping ignored the two women's happy greetings and instead raised his head to look at the clock on the wall. Wait and see
After reaching the 8 o'clock clearly marked on the clock, Zhao Ping suddenly shook his body, and then asked Tang Meng in an almost forced and nervous tone: "Tell me, what day is the mission now? What happened to Liu Shengnan who was trapped in the toilet before?
How about it? And..."
"Why is the man named Liu Jie missing?"
Yes, this was the reason why the man with glasses looked nervous. It was also what Zhao Ping was most concerned about at the moment. Since he didn't know how long he had been sleeping for, after breaking out of coma and waking up on his own, the man immediately asked for the answer. What came to mind?
Not only did he urgently need to know the specific date, he also wanted to know why the number of people at the scene had decreased. The newcomer named Liu Jie in his impression was nowhere to be seen!
The result was affirmative. Faced with Zhao Ping's nervous inquiry, Tang Meng was slightly startled, but soon the woman's expression became increasingly difficult to look at. Finally????????????????
He answered truthfully with a suppressed tone mixed with bitterness: "Liu Shengnan died as early as last night in the toilet, while Liu Jie died in the middle of the morning. Like Shen Bin, the bodies of the two of them are now dead."
They’re all in that room on the second floor.”
"As for you, you have been sleeping all night, from early morning until now. It is now the second day of the mission."
(It’s the second day of the mission? How could I, I, have been asleep for so long!?)
The moment he heard Tang Meng's answer, across from him, Zhao Ping's heart trembled, and his already nervous face turned faintly closer to fear. Although Zhao Ping also knew why he fell asleep last night, he still didn't expect that he would fall asleep.
So long? I fell asleep for 8 hours. 8 hours.
, it’s nothing in normal times, it’s just the time for ordinary people to get some sleep, but this is a mission world full of dangers. In a mission world where death can happen at any time, how often do executors not race against time? 8 hours is enough to do a lot of things.
, and one more thing must be mentioned
And, that is, because his subconscious told him that Cheng Ying and others were about to die, Zhao Ping had already made up his mind to end the mission early and decided to completely solve this supernatural incident the next day, at the latest
After 12 noon, the reason still came from his intuition. His intuition told him that Cheng Ying and others could not hold on for too long. Once it passed 12 noon the next day, perhaps the mysteriously missing Cheng Ying people would become missing forever. What does it mean to be missing forever?
It means death, which means that these people will never be able to return to the death space alive!
】
Precisely because he believed in his own instinctive reminders, Zhao Ping analyzed and pondered all the time and thought crazily to find a way out without rest. This led to him overusing his brain and causing him to lose strength and fall into coma during the rescue of Tang Meng. Unexpectedly, he just
As soon as he woke up, he saw that the time had come to the next morning, and there were only the last 4 hours left before Cheng Ying and others died!
Oops!
……………
When Zhao Ping secretly exclaimed that something was wrong, based on his understanding of the bespectacled man's character, he paused and Tang Meng continued without stopping: "As for Liu Jie's death, he was killed while sleeping in the middle of the night, which happened to be my vigil.
, but I didn’t expect that just when I was thinking about things, Liu Jie was actually dead. When I heard the sound and looked at him, I found that his neck had been twisted behind his back."
In fact, when Tang Meng narrated to this point, there was no need to go on. Zhao Ping roughly guessed the context. It was just that Liu Jie was attacked by a ghost in the middle of the night and killed him with one blow while he was sleeping. However, Tang Meng, who was in charge of the night watch at the time, did not notice it.
It is reasonable. After all, being awake does not necessarily mean that you will always be vigilant. Liu Bin was suddenly killed by the female ghost when Tang Meng was negligent. In addition, the death of Liu Jie can further confirm that the female ghost kills people very quickly.
The terrifying conclusion means that this female ghost has the ability to kill a living person in an instant. As long as you are a little negligent, you may not even know how you died. This also explains why Wang Xuegui and Sun Zhiyong are both pale at this moment.
From Liu Shengnan's death in the toilet last night to Liu Jie's sudden death in the middle of the night, all the results made the two newcomers feel a strong sense of grief. Under the extremely strong shadow of death, God knows when it will be their turn?
Fortunately, only the newcomers died last night. In fact, this was the reason why Zhao Ping deliberately retained the newcomers. Since the mission area this time was extremely small, it was different from the past. This time, Zhao Ping changed his strategy. He was no longer calculating as usual.
Newcomers, turn to as many people as possible
Let the newcomers survive to serve as a shield for the seniors. It is true that in a sense, this so-called protection is essentially a calculation, but the strategy is very correct. With the newcomers sharing the firepower of the ghosts, the seniors gain
It gave me some breathing space, but...
Even if Zhao Ping's strategy is correct, he won't be able to breathe for long, because the time has now reached the second day of the mission! Through the deaths of Liu Shengnan and Liu Jie, combined with the logical rule that the longer the time goes on, the ghost will become more and more crazy, then
The female ghost who only hides in the villa has been revealed
The killing speed has obviously accelerated. What does this mean? Very simply, it means that the executioner's good luck has come to an end. The female ghost is very likely to clean up everyone today. Unless a way out can be found today, Zhao Ping does not think that
They can still survive until the third day, not to mention...
Taking a step back, even if he and Tang Mengkong could miraculously survive until the last day, Cheng Ying and the others who had been missing until now would definitely not survive until the last day, and Zhao Ping's subconscious had clearly told him, let alone the third day.
After three days, these missing teammates couldn't even survive until noon today!
Therefore, we must solve this task before 12 noon!
(4 hours, there are only 4 hours left for me, what must I do during this period, as for what exactly should be done...)
"Quick! Everyone come with me!"
(Um?)
After thinking about this, it was as if he remembered something very important again. Before Tang Meng could continue to speak, suddenly, Zhao Ping, who had lowered his head in thought just now, suddenly changed his expression. When Chao Tang and others said an urgent greeting,
After that, Zhao Ping kept his face solemn, turned around and ran, straight to the water dispenser placed in the corner of the living room!
Seeing the bespectacled man running towards the corner without any warning, driven by curiosity, both Tang Meng and Kong Ling stood up and followed after being stunned for a moment. Similarly, as the senior man moved one after another, Sun Zhiyong, who was already frightened
How could he and Wang Xuegui continue to sit peacefully? Zhao Ping and the other three had just made a move, but the two who were afraid of being left behind also got up and followed them as if running for their lives, and rushed to the corner of the living room together.
Everyone came to the water dispenser. Let’s not talk about the expressions of Tang Meng and others, but Zhao Ping showed no signs of ink. As soon as he reached the finish line, the man lowered his head and observed until he saw the black line that he had seen last night again.
Zhao Pingcai was convinced that there was a gap. He immediately raised his hand and moved the water dispenser that was originally placed in the corner while everyone was looking at it in confusion, and forced the water dispenser away from the corner.
Wow.
Next, as the water dispenser was pushed into the corner, a scene appeared that was enough to scare Zhao Ping, Tang Meng, Kong Ling, and even everyone else. Looking down, what came into view was a cover. Although the color was the same as the floor, it had an edge.
Square planks with obvious gaps!
"This, this is..."
Seeing this scene, not only Tang Meng and others were surprised, but even Zhao Ping, who had long guessed that there was a problem here, had a strange look on his face. It was not until this moment that everyone really understood Zhao Ping's intention, which was just as described before.
By chance, Zhao Ping, who wanted to drink water last night, accidentally discovered a gap when he came to the water dispenser and saw it on the edge of the water dispenser.
Not a single detail
Look at the black cracks that are hard to find. In fact, Zhao Ping had discovered the cracks as early as last night. It stands to reason that he would have been able to explore here last night. Unexpectedly, he had just discovered the hidden cracks and was interrupted by Tang Meng's bathroom distress.
In order to save Tang Meng's plan, Zhao Ping fainted from exhaustion. It was not until the night passed that Zhao Ping, who had just woken up, remembered this clue again, a latest discovery that was huge for the executor!
At this moment, if you look carefully, you can see a square wooden board under your feet that is almost the same color as the floor, and there is a recessed horizontal bar similar to a handle in the center of the board.
After observing this, everyone must know what this is. After raising his head and looking at each other with Tang Meng Kongling, Zhao Ping, with a little nervousness, reached out again, first grabbing the handle-like horizontal bar.
, and then use force to lift the arm upward.
As the wooden board was lifted off the ground, the next moment, a completely dark square hole came into view.
This is……
Basement entrance!
Unexpectedly, this villa actually has a hidden basement!
………
Ta da da, da da da.
Stepping on the dusty wooden stairs, along the dark and dark staircase corridor, five figures soon arrived at the basement. Because the environment was too dark, after arriving in the basement, several flashlight beams instantly penetrated the dark space.
.
Yes, since the existence of a basement in the living room is abnormal, when he found the hidden hole, Zhao Ping immediately decided to come down to investigate. Someone may have asked when he saw this. Since he knew that the basement was eerie and scary, and the environment was far scarier than the villa, what about these?
Why do people dare to come down and explore? Aren’t they afraid of death? The standard answer is fear, especially Zhao Ping. The man with glasses is more afraid of death than anyone else.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't dare to come down even if he was beaten to death! Unfortunately, there is no other way. He can't come down unless he comes down. Without the strong support of He Fei, Zhao Ping is very clear that some responsibilities that originally belonged to He Fei fall on him.
If even you are afraid of death, then this mission will most likely be the last mission of the Shenzhou team. As the old saying goes, someone has to do some things!
In addition, Zhao Ping also told Tang Meng and Kong Ling the intuitive guess that Cheng Ying and others would most likely not survive noon. Sure enough, after learning about this, the two women were shocked, even though Zhao Ping had stated in advance that it was just him.
However, the two women still believed in Zhao Ping's intuition, and their actual reaction was even more urgent than Zhao Ping's, so they urgently wanted to find the body of the female ghost as soon as possible. Since there was no one in the villa, the deliberately hidden basement in front of them no longer mattered.
It’s time to explore anyway.
Ever since, in order to find a way out and complete the mission before noon, Zhao Ping and Tang Meng reached a consensus that it was necessary to search the basement, so they suppressed their fear and came down to investigate. Of course, although the senior people are bold, this does not mean that all
Everyone has extraordinary courage, but seeing three people actually planning to go to the eerie place
Sun Zhiyong and Wang Xuegui, who were already on tenterhooks when exploring the basement, were frightened to death! They shook their heads frantically and tried to stop them. They tried to dissuade the seniors from taking the risk of going to the basement. Unfortunately, Zhao Ping and Tang Meng ignored them at all and were eager to complete the task.
Kong Ling even said something to the two of them in a disdainful tone:
"Shut up, both of you! No one is forcing you two to go down with us. If you don't want to go down, you can just stay in the living room and don't hinder our movements!"
To be honest, since Shen Bin, Liu Shengnan and Liu Jie died tragically one after another, Sun Zhiyong and Wang Xuegui, who believed that female ghosts can really kill people instantly, have collapsed and are almost always shrouded in the intensifying shadow of death. Now the two of them have long since
Treat the three senior people Zhao Ping as the only
A life-saving straw, even if Zhao Ping and the others did not force them to follow them, how could the two senior people dare to continue to stay in the living room after leaving the senior people? In the end, the two helpless people had no choice but to bite the bullet and choose to follow them, walking tremblingly.
Restless legs followed the senior man into the basement.
Closer to home, after the five people collectively entered this strange space that they had never experienced before, when their feet touched the ground, everyone took out their flashlights and observed carefully. Maybe it was because no one had cleaned it for a long time or maybe no one had been there for a long time.
Go down and you will see the basement is quiet.
In addition to being a little scary, the surroundings were full of dust, and there were no traces of footprints at all. Seeing this, several people below the cave entrance first looked at each other with different expressions. Then, under the leadership of Zhao Ping, the crowd turned towards the person in front.
Walking slowly along the only alleyway.
The senior person used a flashlight to explore forward. Without a flashlight, Sun Zhiyong and Wang Xuegui could not have gone all the way in the dark. When the senior person took out the flashlight, they also took out their mobile phones almost at the same time, and then both turned on the built-in lighting function of the mobile phone.
Ta, da, da.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
Walking in the dark and oppressive unknown alleyway, ahead, Zhao Ping was nervous and kept pace. Tang Meng and Kong Ling, who were following behind, also had their eyes wide open and were always on guard. Through the excellent focus of the cat's eye flashlight, they could see what was in front of them while moving.
The alleyway is extremely dirty. Not only is there a musty smell in the air, but there are also occasional rats that quickly pass through the field of vision, and finally disappear into the shadows. First of all, it is certain that rats have no effect on seniors, even as newcomers.
Neither Sun Zhiyong nor Wang Xuegui panicked. Although these two people were scared to death of ghosts, they were still adult men after all. Adult men would not be scared by rats. Rats were no longer afraid, but the increasingly depressing alleyway environment was.
It has seriously affected the two of them. If the senior person in the front is responsible for the task of exploring the path, then the pressure faced by Sun Zhiyong and the two people in the back may be even greater, so great that it is difficult to describe in words!
Just like now, as the crowd goes deeper into the alley, Wang Xuegui, who is walking at the end, becomes more and more frightened. In addition to the fat body no less than that of Chen Shuihong, it begins to shake uncontrollably, and beads of sweat appear on his hairless head.
, Wang Xuegui is currently following the team in a step-by-step manner while looking back, frequently looking behind him. During the observation period, his inner pressure increased exponentially.
Finally, under the growing pressure of fear, Wang Xuegui, who could no longer stand the oppressive atmosphere, made a decision...
Ta-ta-ta!
Before Sun Zhiyong, who was walking in the front, could understand, Wang Xuegui, who was originally at the end of the team, had already accelerated and jumped in front of Sun Zhiyong. As Wang Xuegui overtook the car in the middle, Sun Zhiyong became the last one.
(Grass!)
Wang Xuegui did not want to walk at the end of the team because of fear. How could Sun Zhiyong, who was also frightened, be willing to fall behind? Sure enough, Wang Xuegui was seen shaking off his fat to catch up with him.
, Sun Zhiyong suddenly felt a chill on his back! Immediately he became furious! Before he could wait,
Wang Xuegui, who felt a little relieved, took a long breath. A big hand stretched out from behind and grabbed his arm, and then pulled hard before Wang Xuegui could react. Then, under Sun Zhiyong's angry pull,
Wang Xuegui, who just ran to the middle of the team, fell to the end of the team again!
"Hey! What are you doing with the surname Sun? What do you mean?"
Wang Xuegui, who saw the tall man pulling himself violently and staggering, became angry. Before Sun Zhiyong could continue walking, Wang Xuegui imitated Sun Zhiyong's example. He first grabbed the other man's clothes and at the same time scolded him with an angry face.
Sun Zhiyong never dreamed that this fat bald man who was usually more timid than himself would dare to pull him. Not only did he pull, but he now had the nerve to question himself? Seeing this, Sun Zhiyong became even more angry, and he was already tortured by the repressed atmosphere.
Collapse, Sun Zhiyong broke out without any suspense, turning all the tension and fear into anger, and finally vented all his anger on Wang Xuegui!
"Fuck you!"
bump!
"oops!"
Unexpectedly, Sun Zhiyong turned around and punched Wang Xuegui. The next second, Wang Xuegui covered his cheeks with his hands and fell to the ground after letting out a cry of pain. Seeing the fat bald man falling to the ground and screaming in pain, Sun Zhiyong snorted coldly.
He turned around and left, but who would have thought...
"ah!"
Before he could turn around completely, Wang Xuegui, who was also scared and had nowhere to vent, turned his fear into anger. Not only was the opponent not beaten with a punch, but Sun Zhiyong was caught off guard and jumped at him with a fat face and a ferocious face.
Bei threw Sun Zhiyong to the ground, and then the two of them started fighting each other on the ground.
"How dare you hit me, Damn you? I'll fight you!"
"You surnamed Wang, please let go! I don't have time to accompany you crazy now! Let go!"
Claustrophobia is an anxiety reaction to the space in which you live, such as panic symptoms that can be instinctively caused by being in an elevator, a car, or a depressing space. Excessive psychological pressure can cause this symptom, and claustrophobia is exactly this kind of psychology.
Summary summary of disease.
That's right, Wang Xuegui is actually a patient with early stages of claustrophobia. If he could suppress his inner panic through bright lights when he was in the villa before, then after entering the basement and coming to this dark and depressing alley, a long time passed.
,Wang Xuegui
He could no longer suppress this fear, and Sun Zhiyong's angry punch just released the bald fat man's inner depression. He collapsed. He didn't know what he was doing. He could only turn his fear into anger and vent it all.
On the tall man in front of me.
The picture returns to reality...
"Oh, let go, let go!"
bump!
As mentioned above, with the sudden onset of claustrophobia, Wang Xuegui lost his mind and started to fight like a madman with Sun Zhiyong who punched him. Of course, even if the symptoms occurred and they struggled with each other, Wang Xuegui was not the tall and powerful Sun Zhiyong after all.
The opponents struggled for a while, but saw that the bald fat man had no intention of giving up. Finally, only
Sun Zhiyong, who was afraid that the veteran would go away, immediately became furious. In anger, Sun Zhiyong used all his strength to kick out Wang Xuegui, who was tearing himself away. He ignored the others and struggled to get up using his hands and feet, and then raised his head.
The phone was pointing forward, but it was okay not to take the picture. When the picture was taken, Sun Zhiyong was so frightened that his blemishes broke apart!
That's because...
Looking ahead with the help of the mobile phone light, I discovered that Zhao Ping and the other three who were supposed to be walking in front had long disappeared! Not to mention the shadows, they couldn't even see the light of the flashlight!
"this……"
"What's going on? Why is this happening? This is impossible! It only took ten seconds..."
At this moment, Sun Zhiyong, who was holding his mobile phone high for illumination and looking ahead with wide eyes, panicked. While muttering to himself, large beads of sweat spread uncontrollably across his forehead.
Yes, just now, in the short ten seconds that he and Wang Xuegui were fighting each other, the three senior people who were walking in front disappeared inexplicably!?
