Chapter one hundred and sixty-fifth: beating around the bush
"Where is this place? Why is there nothing? Hey, have I been here before? Is there a sense of déjà vu?"
"Hey, He Fei."
"Huh? Who are you? Why can't I see you? Also, where is this place?"
"This is nowhere. Everything you see is not what you see, and everything you feel is not real. As for me... you should be very familiar with me."
"Very familiar?"
"Yes, I know that you have forgotten a lot or even everything, but the memory hidden deep in your soul will not be erased. I really want to awaken that memory of yours, but unfortunately I can't do anything."
"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word? And, who are you?"
"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know one thing."
"What's up?"
"Live! Live with all your strength, persist, persist, persist until the end. Then your lost memory will wake up, and my regrets will be made up for."
"Regret? What regret?"
"Do you... believe in worms?"
"Of course I believe it, otherwise how can I explain what I have experienced for a long time?"
"This is my answer. Like you, I have been facing worms, and I have always been haunted by an unknown evil spirit. As a result, all my hard work over the past few years has been wasted. I keep repeating it, and I have been tortured to the point of exhaustion.
On the brink of death."
"I feel like I can't hold on for long. I'm going to die, so..."
"So, I want to make up for that regret as much as possible before I die, and try my best to make my hard work finish."
"Actually, my wish is very small. To others, it is not a wish at all. Anyone can fulfill it as long as they work hard. However, for me, who is haunted by evil spirits, fulfilling this small wish is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Hey, why don't you speak? Hey! Hey! Where are you?"
Silence, silence, darkness, nothing else...
Occasionally I will have a dream, a very strange dream. The reason why it is called strange is that in the dream I can clearly hear the voice coming from the other side and talking to me, and every time the voice comes out, I feel a faint feeling.
I feel familiar and can even recall that I have had this dream many times. However, the strange thing is... once the dream ends, I will forget everything, completely forget it. When I wake up, I will be at a loss. I only know that I had a dream.
No matter how hard I try, I can't recall a single trace of the dream content.
Now, I am about to wake up, so I know...I will forget again, forget that dream, forget that conversation.
………
The cursed space is an independent space separated from the real world, and people in the cursed space are completely unable to communicate with the real world. However, the magical thing is that the TV set in the executor's personal room can receive the real world.
TV programs, so when you have nothing to do, in addition to watching various horror movies to familiarize yourself with routines and practice courage, you can also choose to watch real-life major TV programs.
There was nothing to say all night, and the regular meeting the next morning went on as usual. During the period, everyone discussed some things separately, but overall, it was still not much different from previous meetings.
Of course, in He Fei's eyes, the so-called little difference was about Peng Hu's clothes. Yes, as he expected, or as everyone expected, Peng Hu was still wearing the one that made He Fei extremely miserable.
Black vest!
After the meeting, they returned to Car No. 3. He Fei, who had endured the bald man's clothes for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore. Just as Peng Hu was about to push the door open, a voice from behind immediately stopped him.
"Brother Peng!"
Hearing someone calling him from behind, the bald man immediately turned around. From the voice, he knew who was behind him. As he turned around, he asked casually: "Brother, what's the matter?"
Seeing Peng Hu's question, perhaps because he was concerned about the other party's face, He Fei didn't get straight to the point. He scratched his head first, rolled his eyes and said something irrelevant: "Ah, hahaha, it's nothing. I was bored watching TV before.
At that time, I discovered that the international community has not been peaceful recently. I didn’t expect that the United States actually sent an aircraft carrier to the Bangzi waters to intimidate San Fatty. Another thing that happened recently was that Ah San’s troops seemed to have crossed our country’s border.
We are currently confronting the XX troops at the border!"
Unexpectedly, the other party actually chatted with him about military topics that he had never talked about before. Peng Hu was slightly stunned, but soon he laughed as if he suddenly understood, reached out and patted He Fei on the shoulder and said: "Hey! I really didn't see it.
When I came out, I was in a cursed space. I didn’t expect you, brother, to still care about national affairs in the real world! You are worthy of being admitted to college, and you are indeed patriotic!”
"Haha, no, no, I have nothing to do, just watch and play."
He Fei was modest there, but after smiling, Peng Hu suddenly frowned, and then said fiercely: "If you want to ask me what I think, let's not mention the matter of the United States and the three fat men for the time being, but I didn't expect that group of Asans
He actually dared to cross the border to stir up trouble. It seems that the lesson given to Ah San in 1962 was not harsh or thorough enough. Is this a typical example of him healing his scars and forgetting about the pain! Ah San’s troops secretly entered the territory of Country X to station themselves. Where is this?
Is it illegal crossing as described in the news? If civilians are crossing the border illegally, but if they are troops, it is a naked invasion!"
After saying that, the bald man continued: "Let me see, there is no need to confront Ah San and there is no need to warn again and again. Just send troops to annihilate all the incoming Ah Sans without leaving a single one alive! Anyway, the reason for the fight is very good.
No country in the international community can find fault with Ah San's aggression. The group of grandchildren who are best attacked cry for their fathers and mothers, and by the way, they take the opportunity to recover the XX area that Ah San has occupied for a long time. Some countries will
Just like people, if you don’t beat him, he won’t know what pain is, if you don’t beat him severely, he won’t have a long memory!”
After the bald man finished speaking fiercely, He Fei, who didn't know much about the military and only used this topic as a cover, nodded subconsciously. Soon, thinking that the time had come, the college student took advantage of the situation and changed the topic.
He began to say in a slightly meaningful tone: "Yes, that's why I said that Brother Peng sees things thoroughly. It would be great if Brother Peng still wore that military uniform. Hey, by the way, after talking for so long, I still
I’ve never seen you, Brother Peng, wear other clothes..."
Language is an art. Normally, it would be inappropriate to talk straight to the point. But at this moment, He Fei used a round of conversation to gradually lead the topic to something he wanted to talk about.
Although He Fei didn't continue what he said, Peng Hu, who was thick on the outside and thin on the inside, also noticed it. He was slightly stunned, and the bald man instantly understood the other party's purpose.
"Damn, brother, you are... you are so awesome! After chatting for a long time, it turns out that you want to ask me why this black vest never leaves my body, right?"
Seeing Peng Hu directly clarifying his intention, He Fei suddenly felt his face turn red, but he still nodded.
But who would have thought that it would be nothing more than talking about other things. When the black vest was mentioned, Peng Huqi, who thought he would answer truthfully, became inexplicably depressed. The man did not answer, and just looked at He Fei with puzzled eyes.
He slowly turned around and walked towards the door...
However, just as the door opened and Peng Hu himself was about to walk into the room, the bald man paused briefly and left a sentence:
"Brother, if you really want to know the reason, I will choose a time to tell you in the future."
Snap.
Then, the door is completely closed.
Looking at the door opposite, He Fei was stunned, but nodded thoughtfully.
………
After the meeting, Cheng Ying did not return to her personal room as usual but came to Car No. 1 alone. The young killer was a little excited at the moment because he planned to redeem the props!
Yes, in fact, when he first entered this hell train, Ye Wei told him many things about supernatural props. There is a black cabinet in the No. 1 carriage, where the executor's personal survival value can be used to exchange for supernatural props. Supernatural props belong to
A thing that can produce special effects in missions. Generally speaking, it is an auxiliary tool. It can increase the survival rate of the performer during the mission, and Ye Wei did not forget to tell the truth about the exchange rules.
However, at first he was just a newcomer who had just boarded the train. He had no survival points and naturally he could not redeem it, so he had to give up. And his second mission was the previous castle mission, but the curse clearly stipulated that props were prohibited.
Used, so there is still no redemption.
Until today, it was not until He Fei suggested that he exchange props after the meeting that Cheng Ying suddenly remembered the matter. He thought it was time for him to take action. After all, he had personally experienced the role of props, such as the mission in Hoi An City.
He was once deeply shocked by He Fei's bracelet.
Arriving at Car No. 1, Cheng Ying walked straight to the black square cabinet on the left side of the room, and opened the cabinet door without hesitation.
Taking a closer look, you can see that the cabinet is divided into three layers of shelves. Each shelf contains a certain number of items. The items are in different shapes. Some items can be seen at a glance by their appearance, but some items can be seen no matter how you look at them.
No idea what it is.
There are about 20 items in the three rows of props. Observing this, Cheng Ying couldn't help but think of a reminder that Ye Weixuan once said, that is, if you want to know the function of a certain prop, just touch the item in your mind.
Obtain the detailed information and exchange price of the props by yourself. Do not force them out without exchanging them, otherwise you will be shocked.
Somehow, after recalling Ye Wei's instructions, my mind suddenly recalled what Peng Hu had said to him not long ago:
"Hahaha, don't worry, Cheng Ying. I understand the prop exchange rules best. If you like a prop, just put your hand into the cabinet and take it out, and then you can check the prop information."
(Damn bald head! You actually lied to me! If I hadn’t asked Sister Ye Wei by the way just to be on the safe side, otherwise I would have been tricked by you! Just wait for me, bald head!)
After cursing Peng Hu in his heart, he refocused his attention on the cabinet and observed it for a long time. Finally, he locked his eyes on an item with a strange shape.
………18:17 in the evening……
Car No. 3, Ye Wei's room.
In the living room, Zhao Ping looked calm and stared at Ye Wei, who was drinking coffee opposite the sofa.
Seeing this, the bespectacled man raised his lips. He first raised his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then said to the stylishly dressed female captain opposite with a beautiful face: "I never thought you would invite me to your room for coffee.
The coffee tastes really good, do you like drinking coffee?"
After listening to the other party's words, Ye Wei put the coffee cup back on the coffee table, but shook her head slightly and replied: "Actually, I don't like drinking coffee very much. I just did it specially to socialize with various customers in the real world.
After all, the customer is God. In fact, my taste is more inclined to milk or tea. I have never thought that the bitter taste of coffee is so wonderful, even if it contains sugar."
Zhao Ping nodded and said: "Well, I wholeheartedly agree with what you said. Although I am engaged in the legal industry in the real world and it is not the same as the business you are engaged in, after all, I still need to face various clients. The only
The difference is that you are dealing with business clients with huge financial resources, while I am dealing with ordinary litigation clients."
After saying that, the bespectacled man reached out and picked up the coffee cup in front of him, stirred it a few times with a spoon, took a sip, and put it down again.
Seeing the bespectacled man being so self-effacing, Ye Wei couldn't help but smile and said: "Haha, please don't say that. The brand of Huanyu Law Firm is known to everyone in the Shenzhen legal circle, even if you look at lawyers across the country.
In this industry, the Huanyu brand is ranked high, and the fact that you can be a lawyer there is enough to prove your personal ability."
After a pause, seeing that the man with glasses had no expression, Ye Wei changed the topic and continued: "Let's get back to the topic. In fact, I found that you are more similar to me before. You both put survival first. There is nothing wrong with this.
After all, this is a cursed space filled with countless death crises, and people will be destroyed if they don't do it for themselves, so strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with me before and you now."
After listening to Ye Wei's profound words, Zhao Ping, who had vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to express, took the opportunity to answer: "Yes, although it is difficult for me, you and others to understand this strange space, at present,
It's all like this, but no matter how many secrets there are here, if you want to know all the truth in the future, the biggest and first prerequisite is to be alive. After all, only if you are alive will you have the opportunity to come into contact with the truth in the future. However, once you die, everything will be lost.
No more, all secrets and truths have nothing to do with you."
Ye Wei nodded noncommittally, and the next moment she said to Zhao Ping with a complicated expression: "So, in order to survive...do some unfavorable actions that affect others, this kind of behavior...what do you think?"
Zhao Ping did not answer, no, it should be that he did not answer immediately, but fell into silence.
As for Ye Wei, the woman didn't urge him, she just looked at him and waited quietly.
After a moment, the man with glasses raised his head and replied in a calm tone: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
………
In Xu Min's room.
Buzz buzz...
Accompanied by a series of crackling stirring and buzzing sounds, it is obvious that everyone is familiar with this sound. Yes, Xu Min is currently cooking in the kitchen.
Yes, she did not use the magical power of the refrigerator to take out ready-made food according to her personal imagination, she just took out the ingredients and then used these ingredients to start cooking in the kitchen.
Some people may ask after seeing this, why Xu Min insists on making ready-made delicacies directly from the refrigerator? Isn’t this unnecessary?
That's true, but it has a different meaning for Xu Min personally. In order to thank He Fei for saving her life, the 33-year-old woman thought about it and finally decided to cook a table of dishes by herself to express her gratitude. In fact, it makes sense.
It’s simple, it doesn’t matter about the result, it only cares about what you put in during the process. After all, cooking with your own hands and taking out ready-made food from the refrigerator are the same in essence but completely different in meaning.
Fortunately, most of the things in the Cursed Space except weapons and life can be obtained through imagination in the personal room, which means that it is easy to obtain any ingredients. It is precisely because the materials are abundant, so this is why Xu Min clearly has a table of dishes.
The main reason why it was basically completed in only two or three hours.
Nearly half an hour later, when Xu Min placed the last plate of Kung Pao Chicken on the living room table that was already full of delicacies, Xu Min took a long breath and tapped some food while looking at the table.
With a sore waist, after all, cooking is not an easy task. It is not as easy as imagined. However, Xu Min still showed a satisfied smile when looking at his masterpiece.
At the same time, look up at the wall clock.
The current time shown on the clock is 19:05.
After checking the time, Xu Min couldn't help but be surprised. She didn't expect time to pass so quickly. Seeing this, she took off her apron and walked straight out the door.
As mentioned above, she wanted to treat everyone on this train to a meal and express her gratitude to He Fei.
