Volume 1: The Lonely Wraith Chapter 20: Suspended Death
Time, 5:47 in the morning, on the west side street of Crosso Town.
You can't escape, you can't escape, you will die, you will still die!!!
This was the last word left by the female loculi, a ferocious message full of viciousness. Then, the female loculi disappeared, disappeared from the same place, and quickly lost its trace under the sunlight.
As for He Fei, who was lucky enough not to die, he was stunned. He was still in a daze as before, but this time his daze was different from the fearful stupor earlier. It was filled with suspicion, confusion, and the feeling after escaping from death.
Bewildered and lost.
(The female locust has disappeared? I’m not dead? Why am I not dead? The female locust is obviously gone)
(Why? What's going on?)
No one knows what He Fei is thinking at the moment, and no one can understand the young man's mood at this moment, but He Fei himself knows, clearly knows that he is not dead, is still alive, and miraculously survived in a desperate situation where he should have died.
Or maybe it was because the female hawk had let him go for no apparent reason that she was lucky enough to save her life.
The weird thing is
Why should the female locust let herself go?
At least from the expression on the female locust's face and the words she left behind before she disappeared, one could clearly feel that there was a strong sense of unwillingness, and one could clearly feel that there was no way that the female locust would let him go.
Since it's impossible for the female locust to let her go, then why
(Huh? It’s dawn?)
When he was doubtful, He Fei found that his field of vision was much clearer. It was no longer as dim and lightless as before. The environment became clearer and clearer. He subconsciously turned his head and looked to the east, where he saw a large red light shrouding the horizon in the distance.
It was only then that He Fei suddenly realized that it was dawn, that the night had passed, and that day had quietly arrived.
Witnessing the scene of the sunrise, he was stunned. After a moment, He Fei, who had been confused just now, trembled as if he had been struck by lightning. His face that had been dull for a long time also showed a sudden realization.
color.
(Is it possible that this female locust is actually a female locust?)
understood!
He Fei understood, understood instantly, and understood what had just happened. With his personal understanding ability, he confirmed that the sky was getting brighter, and a bolt of lightning flashed through the young man's mind, allowing the college student to guess the cause and effect.
This locust, this murderous and cruel female locust seems to be afraid of the sun, and the sunlight is very likely to inhibit its killing. Otherwise, how could the female locust let him go so easily?
The reason why he didn't die just now was not because of the female hawk's conscience and not to take action, but because of the sunlight. When he was about to die, the sun was just rising and daytime was coming. In addition, the female hawk was afraid of the sun. Combining the above factors, he died by chance.
As a result, I was lucky enough to save my life.
Sunlight!
Sunlight can restrain female locusts. As expected, female locusts can only kill people when it is dark. Not only that, but because their understanding and logical reasoning abilities are far beyond ordinary people, after being the first to figure this out, He Fei even
Other answers were further deduced based on this clue.
It solved a problem that had troubled him for a long time, and it was also a question that came to mind when he saw Chen Hailong being killed last night.
That is to say, the female locust is obviously murderous and even kills people on sight, and she is so powerful that she can kill a living person in an instant, but why doesn't she do it during the day? Why doesn't she kill herself and Smith and his group? After all, as long as she is alive
No place in a small town can avoid being attacked by female locusts. If that's the case, why don't the female locusts kill people during the day? They just scare them with various phantoms. They wait until the sun sets and night falls before they go on a killing spree. What's going on?
thing?
Yes, He Fei had thought about the above questions. Especially after watching the scene of Chen Hailong's murder and witnessing the terrifying power of the female hawk, He Fei became even more suspicious and concerned. At that time, he could not find the reason for it yet.
He had to explain, but now, he understood, and he finally found the real reason why the female tiger didn't do anything during the day.
It's not that the female locust doesn't want to kill during the day, it's that she can't kill, she has no way to kill!
The female locust is afraid of light, no, to be precise, the female locust is afraid of the sun. Let’s not talk about why the sunlight can suppress the female locust. Just talking about the scenes from entering the town yesterday to now is enough to prove that the above analysis is correct.
The best evidence is yourself.
It is precisely for this reason that the female locust chooses to do it at night.
(Women are afraid of the sun. Doesn’t that mean I’m safe now?)
Thinking of this, He Fei was overjoyed at first, but for some reason, after a few seconds, He Fei's face, which had been slightly relaxed just now, was filled with uneasiness again, and his mood, which had finally recovered, fell to the bottom again.
the reason is
Although it has been confirmed that female ghosts are afraid of light, that is all.
It is undeniable that nymphs are afraid of the sun, and the sun can indeed suppress nymphs, but so what? If you think about it for a moment, you will find that the sun still can't change anything. It can neither change the current situation nor the final outcome, because at present, it is just a complete change.
The second day of the mission begins, and there will still be another day and night before the mission ends!
one day one Night!
What does this mean? It means that dawn can only delay death. At most, it can allow one to live for one more day. Once the sun sets again, once night comes again
Recalling the extremely vicious look in the female locust's eyes before disappearing, and recalling the howl of hatred made by the female locust because she failed to succeed, He Fei believed that there was no need to wait until midnight, as the female locust would most likely be there as soon as the sky darkened.
He will find him as soon as possible and then cut him into pieces!
After all, sunlight can only restrain the female locust from killing, but cannot cause substantial harm to the female locust. Although the female locust cannot kill people during the day, it can still release phantoms to scare people. It is obvious that the disappearance of the female locust before is only a temporary retreat. At night,
There is a 100% chance that he will come out to kill again and kill everyone in the town. When that time comes, He Fei doesn't think he will be as lucky as he was just now.
To put it more bluntly, it can be understood that the time currently left for He Fei and even the time to survive is only the last day. If he does not want to die, he must complete the task before night comes and solve this problem.
supernatural event.
Tick tock.
As my thoughts progressed to this point, before I knew it, the cold sweat that had dissipated earlier began to cover my forehead again.
The college student looked pale and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
Suddenly coming back to his senses, the corners of his twitching mouth squeezed out a low voice full of vibrato:
No, no, I can't wait to die
While muttering to himself, He Fei thought of something. He remembered the purpose of his trip again, thought of the luxurious building, and the oil painting that he regarded as a key clue!
Suddenly, He Fei started to move. Under the sudden pressure of death, he turned around and started running. He ran towards the street in front of him at high speed. The purpose was very simple. He went to the only luxurious building in the town, and then found as many clues as possible.
The hope of survival that keeps oneself alive.
He Fei reacted quickly and acted aggressively, but he overestimated himself and his body, forgetting the fact that he was not a superman.
After a whole day of high mental stress, a whole night of running away, several close calls, and an excessive loss of physical energy, the run had just begun, and before I had gone very far, an overwhelming dizziness instantly filled my brain.
This is a standard symptom of dehydration shock caused by excessive exhaustion.
The sudden feeling of dizziness caused He Fei, who had just run more than ten meters, to lose control and throw himself to the ground, falling straight to the ground like a puddle of mud.
The dizziness became more and more intense, and He Fei suddenly felt blurred. A second later, he fainted and passed out on the spot.
It’s not that He Fei wants to be in a coma, but that his body can no longer bear the load of continuous exercise after exhausting all its strength. According to the scientific community, it is best not to continue exercising when your physical strength is weak to the limit. If you exercise forcefully, then the human self
The protective function forces the brain to enter a dormant state and recover through hibernation.
It's a pity that He Fei forgot this point in his haste. Shrouded in fear, he ignored this point and the reality that he was extremely exhausted. Then he forced himself to run again when his body had already reached the limit of load. The result was predictable.
, the overwhelmed motor nerves immediately transmitted the danger signal to the brain, and the computer immediately activated the human body's sleep mode.
The end result is coma.
Before falling into coma, the college student only had time to think of two words:
(Fuck)
Then, He Fei passed out due to excessive exhaustion.
