Noticing the fearful reactions of the senior people, he didn't understand why these people were so afraid, but with decades of life experience, he could still guess that the wolf hidden in the hotel was definitely very strong. In his personal impression, even
The extremely scary pink sluts in the previous mission had never scared the seniors like this!
In the dead silence, after scanning everyone's reactions, Zhao Ping finally knew what was going on, so for a moment he was trembling in his heart. To be honest, if possible, he didn't want to say those three words or that word.
, but the problem is... He Fei's analysis just now is correct and his guess is correct, so even if everyone ignores it and refuses to admit it, it is meaningless. After all, the terrifying power of the beast is there, and it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not when the beast kills people.
Don't believe it.
So, with sweat on his forehead and twitching at the corners of his mouth, he lowered his head and was silent for a moment. Zhao Ping slowly raised his head, stared at his teammates and said three words in a tangled tone, saying what he didn't want to say but had to say.
a word:
"Earthbound Spirit."
………
"It's sad and sad that I will die. I would rather die than disturb the bound spirits of the earth."
"The so-called earth-bound spirits, according to our Taoist interpretation, refer to souls bound to the earth. But if they are bound, they will naturally be protected. From another perspective, it can be understood as spirits protected by the earth, including humans and animals.
Plants don't even have some kind of will body of living matter.
Now, due to having great unfulfilled wishes or having great hatred, etc., it has been unable to be liberated, thus forming such a special spirit body. However, there is still one thing to note, that is, the same soul, the lonely soul, and the
The difference between charm and lily is... earth binding
Spirits generally cannot leave the realm where they are located. From a Taoist perspective, this type of spirit body uses an area as a carrier (including buildings in the area), and its abilities also originate from this area. To put it bluntly, you can
Understand the earth-bound spirits as the princes occupying one side,
In other words, the area where the earth-bound spirit is located is completely controlled by it, and its ability will be infinitely amplified in this area that belongs to it. Yes, this is a real magical power, almost omnipotent, and it can even bind the earth-bound spirit.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that the spirit is the infant form of the Earth God.”
"My master once told me that earth-bound spirits are extremely rare. There are only a few in the world, but once they appear, they are definitely not something that ordinary Taoist priests or other psychic professions can deal with, because even one has the smallest and smallest area of control.
The strength of a weak Earth-bound spirit is several times that of an ordinary Liji. In addition, Earth-bound spirits are not incapable of advancement.
As long as it has a way to expand the scope of the 'Earth Binding', continue to expand it, a thousand times a hundred thousand times a million times, then it will be the god who controls a land! Of course, this is almost impossible, and it has never been done before in the history of Taoism.
There have been situations where Earth-bound spirits have advanced, well, that’s all. The above is my simple explanation of Earth-bound spirits.”
When Chen Xiaoyao finished the above explanation of the earth-bound spirit, he swallowed, shrugged with a wry smile, and finally said to himself as if he looked up to the sky with a smile: "Hahaha! Master, master, master.
, I guess you would never have thought that your apprentice, me, would be lucky enough to meet an Earthbound spirit one day, right? This, this... this is really a fucking tragedy, hahaha!"
Perhaps the despair was excessive, and at the end of the story the young man began to smile bitterly, his helplessness palpable.
Putting aside Chen Xiaoyao's helplessness and bitterness for the moment, as the young man finished his narration and listened to the explanation, all the executioners in the room shuddered without exception! Especially those who had personally experienced the midnight ring.
Furthermore, they were horrified. After all, they had personally experienced the true meaning of despair, and that Sadako happened to be an Earth-bound spirit, a larger than ordinary one.
The earth-bound spirit is even more powerful and invincible than the earth-bound spirit mutant. To draw inferences about other cases, even if the earth-bound spirit hidden in the hotel is just an ordinary earth-bound spirit, its strength is far weaker than that of Zhen.
However, the opponent has reached the level of the Earth-bound spirit after all. Considering that the weakest Earth-bound spirits are often several times stronger than Li Qi, one can imagine how difficult and terrifying this supernatural mission will be!
As for why He Fei was able to infer the strength level of worms based on sealing alone? The reason is also very simple and was mentioned earlier. That is, in He Fei's personal impression, although many worms had the ability to seal in the past, they may be able to completely
There are very few people who can seal off a large area. So far, only Sadako can do it. Now that we have a reference, then this one who has completely sealed off the entire hotel is far weaker.
However, Yu Zhenzi's strength is still extraordinary and comparable to that of ordinary creatures. At least in He Fei's memory, Li Ji cannot seal off a large area. Indeed, the analysis results of the college students are correct, but Chen Xiaoyao's remarks just targeted the earth-bound
Ling's explanation still shocked He Fei. He never dreamed that the Earthbound Spirit could be so terrifying. Then he thought about how lucky everyone was to survive the midnight bell mission.
Getting back to the topic, as time passed by, after experiencing a moment of fear and a moment of silence, Cheng Ying came to her senses first, and then hurriedly said to He Feiwen as if she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I remember
The mission goal is very clear, as long as we can identify the worm, then we have completed the mission, right?"
Just like finding light in darkness, similar to grasping hope in desperate situation, Cheng Ying's words immediately moved the hearts of everyone present. Yes, Cheng Ying's words were both reasonable and profound. At least He Fei understood his words in the blink of an eye.
What does it mean? The meaning is very simple, that is, this supernatural mission is not a passive avoidance mission that requires survival for a few days, but a identification mission that requires active attack. It requires both identification and identification.
The strength of Laixi doesn't mean much, because everyone knows that the rules of the curse have always been very strict. In the task, whether it is the executor or the object, both parties will be restricted by the rules. This has nothing to do with the strength of the object, such as the current situation.
In this mission, what happens even if the wolf is really a powerful earthbound spirit? As long as the executor identifies the opponent's identity according to the task requirements, the wolf will not be able to attack them, and will eventually be judged as having completed the mission by being cursed.
Thinking about it this way, the situation may not necessarily be too bad, and it may not be more desperate than imagined. After all, the executor has a very clear goal. Unfortunately...
It's a pity that everyone only has one chance to identify. Once the identified person is not a monster, the identifyer will be cursed and instantly obliterated!
Based on this rule, another conclusion can be drawn, that is, the locust is not invisible, but has disguised itself as a human. Now this locust is most likely to be walking around the hotel as a human being. The executor needs to be in the crowd.
Just identify the man disguised as a wolf.
The logic seems smooth and the logic seems simple. Unfortunately, the Cecil Hotel has been completely closed down. No one in the hotel, whether guests or staff, can leave. What He Fei is really worried about is...
According to estimates, the number of people currently trapped in the hotel is about 200!
what does that mean?
It means difficulty and helplessness. If the executor wants to survive the indiscriminate killing of the wolf, he must identify the identity of the wolf as soon as possible. However, it is not easy to identify who is the ghost among 200 people!?
So after thinking about this, all the veterans, including He Fei, instantly turned off the fire as if a bucket of cold water was poured on their heads. Not only did the hope that had just surged suddenly disappear, but there was also a sense of helplessness and despair in their hearts.
Yes, everyone has only one chance to identify. It is easy to say if the identification is successful, but if the identification fails, it will be wiped out. This will lead to a certain problem.
It is put in front of everyone, who will identify it? Who dares to identify it easily when knowing that if you point it wrong, you will die? Who will do such a crazy act when you are not 100% sure? Is this different from committing suicide?
?It can even be understood that there are only two endings waiting for the executor of this supernatural mission, either to be killed by the hawk, or to be cursed and obliterated due to failure in identification.
Anyway, the final result is one word:
die!
"Gudu, then, He Fei, what should we do now?"
Xu Shi felt more and more uncomfortable and frustrated under the pressure of this cruel fact. After thinking about the difficulty and swallowing his saliva, Yao Fujiang broke the silence and was the first to speak up to ask He Fei a question. He raised the issue that everyone is most concerned about at the moment.
As mentioned above, what to do? What to do next?
Listening to the young man's questions and feeling the crowd's gaze, as the team leader, He Fei unexpectedly did not answer Yao Fujiang's question this time. He ignored the gazes of others. He just turned around without saying a word, walked to the central sofa and sat down slowly, bowing his head.
He kept his head deep in thought, and occasionally raised his head to glance across the way, sizing up everyone. After a long time, He Fei calmly said, "Brother Peng, Chen Xiaoyao, and Yao Fujiang, please go to the lobby on the first floor immediately and tell me what you have learned when you come back."
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of work, you are afraid of having no work to do. It is very suitable to apply to the current situation. Especially for senior people, they are not afraid of taking risks and being busy. What they are really afraid of is that He Fei is silent and helpless. It is conceivable that once he is connected,
If the team leader can’t come up with an idea, what will the rest of the team think?
"Okay, no problem!"
Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, He Fei finally finished thinking and gave instructions. As soon as the other party finished speaking, Peng Hu agreed without hesitation without even asking. Yes, based on Peng Hu's understanding of He Fei, he simply
There is no need to ask the other person why, to him
Personally speaking, he only needs to strictly follow the young man's requirements. If it is true, the reality is even more true. He nodded in agreement. The next moment, the bald man turned around and left, opened the door and strode out, and Chen Xiaoyao did the same.
Followed without saying a word, only...
Seeing Peng and Chen being so straightforward, Yao Fujiang couldn't help but hesitate for some reason.
because……
He is very scared now!
He is so scared that he subconsciously believes that he will be safe only if he follows the large army. There is no reason or reason. If he has to forcefully explain, he can only sum up the source of his fear in a certain word. Although it is short, it is enough to scare him to death.
Horrible vocabulary:
Earthbound spirit!
There is an earthbound spirit hidden in the hotel that is more terrifying than Li Qi. If he is attacked midway, his life will be in danger...
Of course, ideas are just ideas after all, and the young man's hesitation only lasted for two or three seconds. In any case, he is a real veteran and can see many things clearly. If he dared not leave because of fear, He Fei would not
What to say, but when I saw Zhao Ping's eyes that glanced at me inadvertently... finally! Gritting his teeth, the boy with a flat head moved and chased out the door with all his strength.
After the three people left, He Fei did not explain the reason to the remaining executors in the guest room. He continued to move and scanned again. This time he set his sights on Zhao Ping.
Somewhat surprisingly, before He Fei could open his mouth to speak, the man with glasses narrowed his eyes and spoke proactively before He Fei could. He asked a question to the young man in a tentative tone: "Are you planning to let me find that person?"
?”
"It seems that you have guessed what I am thinking... Well, yes, he is an important person anyway. In my opinion, this matter will only be more certain if you handle it."
After listening to He Fei's words and seeing the other party nodding, Zhao Ping did not answer directly. Instead, under the gaze of everyone, he habitually raised his hand to touch the bridge of his nose, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and shifted his gaze while holding the glasses, scanning the direction.
The other person finally opened his mouth and replied with a calm expression: "No problem, I will take care of this matter, but... I have a request."
He Fei asked: "What request?"
"I need two helpers."
………
Ta, da, da.
The atmosphere was dull, the footsteps were light, and they followed each other step by step on the narrow and long stairs. If you look closely, you will find that there are three people walking along the stairs one after another at this moment. They move slowly in the process, and no matter who they are, they all show a vigilant look.
Since the Cecil Hotel has been completely sealed by supernatural forces, for safety reasons, after leaving the room, Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao and Yao Fujiang did not take the elevator as they did when they first went upstairs. Instead, they chose to walk downstairs along the stairs.
Fortunately I went downstairs, otherwise I would have climbed to the 12th floor
It will undoubtedly not be easy. There is another thing that has always puzzled Peng Hudun. He found that ever since he learned that the worms in this supernatural mission were very likely to bind spirits to the earth, Chen Xiaoyao has not been as active as before.
Taoist symbols are posted everywhere, and there is much less nonsense than before.
As mentioned above, the more I thought about it, the more puzzled and suspicious I became. Driven by curiosity, as he walked around, the bald man scratched his head, turned his head and asked the young man: "Hey, why are you so quiet now? I remember
You usually talk a lot. By the way, since you are a Taoist priest, do you have any way to find the worm?"
Seeing the bald man asking questions and being curious, Chen Xiaoyao turned to Peng Hu and showed a wry smile, then shook his head with a complicated sigh and said: "Brother Peng, Brother Peng, it seems you still don't fully understand the meaning of the earth-bound spirit. I said before
The strength of the Earthbound Spirit is far beyond what Li Qi can match.
, it is conceivable that I can't even deal with Li Qi, let alone the Earthbound Spirit. As for looking for Qi... Well, if my master can still sense it, and I... Haha, I think I'd better forget it.
, don’t even try, it will only be in vain.”
Because the two sides had "been grudged for a long time", seeing Chen Xiaoyao for the first time admitting his cowardice, how could Yao Fujiang, who was following behind him, let go of the opportunity? As soon as the other party finished speaking, the boy with a flat head jumped in front of the bald man and taunted him on the spot: "Tch,
I originally thought you were so awesome, but it turns out you are only at this level and you gave up so quickly."
"Hey! Brother Fu Jiang, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Strictly speaking, I don't call this a coward. It should be called self-awareness. I never do anything to make someone look fat."
"Okay, okay, don't look at the timing of the quarrel. It's already fucking time. Are you two boys in the mood to bite each other?"
"Hey, hey, Brother Peng, it's not my fault. It was me who attacked first. I fought back in self-defense!"
"Fuck you, uncle, who are you calling a fool?"
The three of them were talking and walking like this, and all of them were on high alert while going downstairs. Maybe they were lucky enough or they hadn't killed anyone yet. As time passed, nothing happened while they were going downstairs.
Happened, within a moment the three of them crossed the stairs to the end and arrived at the lobby on the first floor.
The result was as expected. They stopped to observe and looked around. They saw that the outside of the hotel door was pure white and covered with thick fog that blocked their sight. It was the same as He Fei's guess. This was what the three of them had expected. However, after passing
For a moment, after it was confirmed that the hotel was closed, after looking at the doors and windows of the lobby, when their eyes subconsciously turned to the center of the restaurant, whether it was Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao or Yao Fujiang, the three of them were stunned.
Without exception, their eyes were wide open, staring blankly at the opposite side, and the group fell into a state of confusion.
The reason is very simple, that is... the entire restaurant on the first floor remains normal. In the field of vision, the guests who were in the restaurant earlier are still as usual, and they are still doing their own things. These people are either eating at the table or smoking and chatting. The atmosphere is as usual, outside the door
He paid no attention to the strange situation. Not only did he completely ignore the white mist outside, but no one left from the beginning to the end, and no one had the slightest intention of leaving.
"this……"
Seeing this scene, Peng Hu opened his mouth wide, and Yao Fujiang showed surprise. Countless questions came to his mind for a while. Yes, even though the restaurant maintained a calm and natural appearance, in fact it was strange and scary. After all, it sealed the entire restaurant.
The strange white mist in the hotel was so obvious that it was very close at hand and outside the door. Unexpectedly, no one in the hall paid it any attention. Don't forget that this place is not a place you visit often.
Fog is London, but Los Angeles, USA. It stands to reason that the appearance of such a large-scale thick fog out of thin air will inevitably attract people's attention. However, the results of things are often so weird. Needless to say, no need to say more, the actual situation is just as the three of them see at this moment.
Just like that, the crowd in the hall was still the same, still the same as before. People were doing their own things, completely turning a blind eye to the white mist that was right in front of them!
If the person currently standing here is He Fei, college students will surely understand instantly what the problem is. But it is a pity that He Fei is not here now. The only people standing here are Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao and Yao Fujiang.
but……
Nothing is absolute.
Strictly speaking, not everyone in the huge restaurant turned a blind eye to the white mist outside the door. Due to their more careful observation, the three of them soon discovered something and noticed a person standing near the door, who was staring with fear.
The door was in a daze, facing the glass like a puppet. If you look carefully, you can further find that the other person is none other than Qiao Na, the receptionist who handled the check-in procedures for everyone!
"Let's go over and have a look."
Following Peng Hu's greeting, the three of them walked up to Qiao Na. Qiao Na, who also heard the noise, quickly turned around and saw that the people coming were three of the group of tourists from country Z. Qiao Na was going to say something.
, but before he could speak, Peng Hu got ahead of him and asked in a puzzled tone, "You...were you looking at the white mist outside the door just now?"
Ding!
For some reason, when the bald head said this, Qiao Na was stunned and stunned on the spot, and then her eyes widened and her mouth opened with a shocked expression. This reaction inevitably made Peng Hu and the others
They suddenly felt puzzled and surprised. They glanced at each other, but they couldn't help themselves.
Of course, the shock didn't last long, and Qiaona suddenly came back to her senses. She was overjoyed as if she saw someone of the same kind whom she hadn't seen for a long time. While scanning the three people in front of her, she asked in an eager tone: "Could you three be the same?"
Can you see the white mist outside the door?"
Huh?
After the blonde said this, the executioners were all stunned. Among them, Chen Xiaoyao reacted the fastest and ignored the two people beside him. As soon as the other party asked, the young man nodded affirmatively and then pointed with a thoughtful expression.
Behind him, he pointed at the guests in the hall and asked Qiao Na: "What? Listen to what you said...could it be that those people can't see it?"
Chen Xiaoyao seized the opportunity to ask a question at the right time, while Qiao Na nodded without comment and replied: "Well, for some reason, those guests have always been weird since the thick fog appeared. No matter they are staying or eating, they are all open to the outside world.
The thick fog turns a blind eye,
At first, after the thick fog appeared, I walked up to a few guests to remind them, but when I looked back at the door, they all stared at me like I was crazy, and their answers scared me even more.
Because... they all said there was no fog outside!"
"No fog? This is impossible. Is there really something wrong with my eyes? Or am I really crazy?"
Because it was too difficult to understand, at this moment, as the narration continued, Qiao Na became more and more panicked as she spoke. In the end, she simply put her head in her hands and muttered to herself blankly, with confusion evident in her words. After hearing this, Peng Hu and Yao Fujiang were both shocked.
Only Chen Xiaoyao was in a slightly better condition. In addition, he had some thoughts during the period and was silent for a moment. The young man moved
Chen Xiaoyao walked to the door to observe again, pushed the door open again, and confirmed that the door was motionless. Chen Xiaoyao slowly turned around, and finally comforted Qiao Na with a firm tone: "Miss, I can tell you responsibly, you are neither crazy nor crazy.
No problem, we can clearly see the heavy fog outside the door just like you, so..."
Having said this, he paused, exchanged a look with Peng Hu, nodded, and then asked with a solemn face: "So I hope to know the process, and also ask the lady to tell us everything that happened during the period. This is not only right.
We are important, it is important to you, and it is extremely important to everyone who is currently in the hotel!"
