He is a professional killer, and the number of people who have died in his hands over the years is not hundreds but dozens. It is conceivable that this kind of person is far more vigilant and prepared than ordinary people, especially Tang Zhiyuan's caution
The degree is even higher than that of most of his colleagues. The most obvious example is his actions when he first boarded the car. Although he did intend to directly seize control of the team by force at the beginning, but when
After learning that there was a fellow killer in the opponent's team who was stronger than his own, Tang Zhiyuan decisively changed his plan. Of course, even though he had already decided to wait until the mission was over before taking action, he was still worried about whether the opponent would notice it.
, yes, although he thought that he and Xu Zhen had been hiding it well, he was worried about Cheng Ying after all, and whether the other party would join forces with others to attack first.
As the saying goes, he is not magnanimous in his heart, because he has been making calculations in his heart. When he found that the man with glasses seemed to be approaching intentionally, Tang Zhiyuan immediately became alert. Unexpectedly, what puzzled him was...
After several verbal conversations, I couldn’t find out at all!?
(What’s going on? Am I overthinking it? You’re saying that this guy named Zhao Ping has no purpose? In fact, he’s just a good old guy without any scheming?)
There is a saying that everything is relative. If the man in the suit had a hidden purpose in the earlier conversation, then how could Zhao Ping have a simple mind? After several exchanges, Zhao Ping gained a lot, so as the conversation came to an end
, after a moment of silence, the man with glasses smiled, showed a kind smile, and continued to say to the two of them in an easy-going tone: "Oh, by the way, there is something else I forgot to tell you..."
………
Since the location where the executor appeared was close to the downtown area, not long after driving, the three taxis quickly entered the city and stopped in front of a four-star hotel. They casually handed the driver a few red tickets and handed them over.
After no more searching, and with the driver's gratitude, the group left the car. After getting out of the car, everyone headed straight to the hotel, with He Fei taking the lead.
Entering the lobby, although he knew that the hotel had a presidential suite that could accommodate multiple people, it was strange that He Fei did not choose to do so. Instead, he opened 5 ordinary rooms at the front desk. They were located on the third floor and were consecutively numbered rooms. After a short period of time,
After discussion, it was finally decided that the 10 people would be divided into five groups and stay in 5 rooms respectively.
The personnel are: Zhao Ping and Gao Jikun live in 301, Chen Xiaoyao and Yao Fujiang live in 302, He Fei and Peng Hu live in 303, Cheng Ying and Qian Xueling live in 304, and the two newcomers Tang Zhiyuan and Xu Zhen live in 305.
Everyone basically had no objections to He Fei's allocation decision. However, during this period, Tang Zhiyuan glanced at He Fei and Cheng Ying with strange eyes, frowned slightly, and seemed to want to speak, but in the end he said nothing.
………
The first day of the supernatural mission, 13:45 pm, room 303 on the 3rd floor of the hotel.
After having lunch in the restaurant on the first floor, according to the old rules, everyone gathered in the room where He Fei lived. At this moment, the 10 executors in the living room were indeed here.
The atmosphere was quiet and silent, and the crowd was silent to each other.
Seeing this, He Fei knew what everyone was waiting for. Sure enough, after scanning the crowd around him with a solemn gaze, He Fei calmed down. As the team leader, the college student spoke first and went straight to the topic: "Everyone, I
This mission is an ordinary level. Everyone knows this. The curse has never tampered with the mission information and has always been 100%
It's true, of course. On the surface, ordinary supernatural missions don't seem to pose much of a threat to us, but one thing you still need to be aware of is that there are often hidden traps in missions, which are often hard to guard against. Between this, I
I think the team must not take it lightly, after all, this mission has a long deadline, up to 10 days before and after."
Even though He Fei’s words above seem to have little nutrition, and may sound like nonsense at first glance, but they contain profound meanings and are actually filled with reminders and warnings. After listening to these words, most people unconsciously nodded their heads slightly.
Undoubtedly, as mentioned at the beginning, whether before entering the mission or in the mission world at this moment, the young man has been reminding and warning everyone from beginning to end. The reason is very simple. After all,
Surprisingly, all the people present are human beings. Human beings have always been vulnerable to monsters. In other words, all supernatural tasks will pose a threat to the performers, not to mention how many supernatural tasks are within the scope of human understanding? There is a saying that goes well.
, Be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship, He Fei's original intention is to remind everyone not to think that they can relax their vigilance because the difficulty is not high, and mission traps often cannot be measured by difficulty level.
Seeing everyone nodding, He Fei stopped talking nonsense, reached into his pocket and took out the ticket, put it on the coffee table, pointed at the ticket and continued to everyone: "To facilitate the search, this is the map of Akiye City prepared by Curse for us.
, there are 5 blue light dots in the picture. As expected, everyone must have determined the meaning of the light dots before coming to the hotel. Yes, each light dot represents a protected person."
Having said this, he raised his head and looked around, seeing that everyone was silent, paused, and then He Fei changed the topic and continued: "It is true that the meaning of the light spots is now known, but I personally still have other opinions, that is, the blue light spots
In addition to representing the location of the characters in the plot, there are also some special details inside.”
Other details?
Sure enough, as soon as the young man finished speaking, except for Cheng Ying, Peng Hu and Zhao Ping, everyone else at the scene showed puzzled expressions. Yes, they did not expect that the blue light spots could have other meanings or even hidden elements. Could it be the light spots?
In addition to the flashing blue light, did He Fei notice other things?"
The result was predictable. Thinking of this and out of curiosity, Yao Fujiang took the lead in speaking for others, and hurriedly asked He Fei, who was sitting opposite: "Oh? What is it? Tell me quickly?"
"These blue light spots will most likely change color!"
"Um? Color change? You mean color change? Do the light spots change color?"
Noticing the suspicious expressions on Yao Fujiang and the others after hearing the above remarks, He Fei nodded. He Fei did not show off, knocked on the ticket on the table and explained: "Since you all boarded the train at different times, some of the supernatural missions are indeed
I have never experienced this, and I personally
Understand, well, the thing is like this. In fact, the phenomenon of tickets being converted into maps or light spots appearing on maps has happened before, and our team has indeed experienced a similar supernatural mission in the past, but it was a long time ago.
It happened before, that mission
It is a mid-level and upper-level mission. The mode is very similar to this one. The executor also needs to protect the plot characters and the tickets were collectively converted into maps during the mission. That mission was the third mission after I boarded the car. Time has passed and now
There are only four of me, Brother Peng, Cheng Ying and Zhao Ping
I know this, but you all joined later so you don’t know. Ahem, let’s get back to the topic. The reason why I said that the light spot is likely to change color is based on the reference of that mission. As for the color change, it is roughly the same.
There are three types, namely blue, yellow, red and..."
"Wait, pause, pause, you don't have to say anything, I seem to understand what you mean."
The college student originally wanted to finish speaking in one breath, but unexpectedly he was interrupted by others, including Chen Xiaoyao who had been listening attentively across from him. After the interruption, the young Taoist priest touched his hair and started to answer as if he understood something.
, under the gaze of all the senior people, he thought as if he had some enlightenment.
Said: "The different colors you just mentioned should represent different levels of danger, right? Blue represents normal safety, yellow represents approaching danger, red represents being in danger, and in the end... I guess it will either turn to black.
Or just disappear, right?"
I don’t know if he got to the point. Although Taoist Chen’s response was abrupt, his remarks really caused quite a stir in the crowd. Most people looked shocked. Even Yao Fujiang, who always liked to argue with him, stood still for a while.
, in order to confirm what the other party said, everyone turned their heads in shock and looked towards the middle of the sofa.
As a result, He Fei nodded in approval: "Yes, you guessed it right. Blue represents safety, yellow represents approaching danger, and red represents that you are in danger. Next, the light spots will completely turn into black.
Disappear, once the light spot disappears, it means the complete death of the plot character."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present except He Fei and four other people were shocked!
Yes, Chen Xiaoyao has always been smart. With his ability to understand, he could guess the answer in a matter of seconds, which was already expected by most people. Because of this, what really surprised everyone was not Taoist Chen himself, but the blip on the map.
I thought that this ticket can only be used on the map to know the plot.
In addition to the character's position, there are other hidden functions. Thinking of this, some people are secretly frightened and at the same time, some people are even more afraid of the curse. They are full of fear of the unknown existence that traps them. The curse is too powerful.
What on earth is the other party!?
It's a pity that shock is meaningless and fear is meaningless. Now that you are in it, the executor can only bite the bullet and go on step by step.
"Ahem."
Just when most people were silent and shocked, on the right side of the sofa, Zhao Ping secretly glanced at Tang Zhiyuan and Xu Zhen, who were listening attentively, and suddenly coughed twice. The cough brought everyone back from their thoughts.
Reality, after coughing slightly, the man with glasses deliberately looked at
She glanced at Qian Xueling. Sure enough, as she had always paid attention to Zhao Ping during the mission, Qian Xueling immediately caught the eye of the man with glasses. To be honest, the beautiful woman at this moment really wanted to meet Zhao Ping.
What to say, but, the strange thing is...
The moment her eyes met, Qian Xueling recalled something, a strange incident that happened not long ago, the night before the mission started.
For some reason, Zhao Ping knocked on the door the night before the mission was released and made a special trip to Qian Xueling's residence.
You must know that this was the first time that a man with glasses took the initiative to knock on a woman's door. The result was predictable. The moment the door opened, he saw Zhao Ping. At that moment, Qian Xueling was not to mention how happy she was. Unexpectedly, it made her extremely different.
The is...
Although the door was opened, the man with glasses had no intention of going in. He just said something incomprehensible to her expressionlessly:
"Remember, from now on you and I should keep a distance. During the mission, you can't get as close to me as before, and you should try to talk to me as little as possible."
After saying something, the man with glasses turned around and left.
Her thoughts returned to reality. At this moment, Qian Xueling was suspicious and uncomfortable when she saw the man with glasses just looking at her and immediately looking away. She was suspicious that the other person was inexplicable and felt uncomfortable because the other person was intentional. It was true, but fortunately Qian Xueling was a woman.
Yes, she is a woman who understands the general situation. Although she still doesn't understand why the other party gave such an order that night, she still knows clearly in her heart that there must be a reason why the other party deliberately ordered her. As for what the reason is...
Through the brief exchange of glances just now, she seemed to have a vague understanding.
Let's not talk about what Qian Xueling was thinking. In the living room, after Zhao Ping coughed unconsciously, everyone present came back to their senses, and then focused their energy on the current task again. Perhaps they thought of something else from their meditation just now.
Or maybe you are too obsessed with that side mission,
For the massive reward, Gao Jikun was so excited that he spoke first to break the silence. With an expectant look on his face, he asked He Fei a question that mattered to him and everyone else: "Since the ticket is like this, then... when do we leave? He Fei
When are you going to protect those five plot characters?"
Yes! Protection, must be protected, the rewards given by side missions are too generous, but it is difficult for anyone who performs them to refuse!
It is said to be so, and it is also true.
After Gao Jikun deliberately mentioned it, sure enough, most people also had similar thoughts in their minds. As for the protection plan that must be implemented as soon as possible no matter what, some people may ask after seeing this, even if the executor is greedy for the side mission rewards belong to people.
It's normal, so are they afraid of hawks?
You must know that this is a world of supernatural missions, and the mission information has clearly stated that the locusts will definitely attack five plot characters. Once the executor protects the plot characters, there is a high probability that they will be implicated. After all, locusts have always been cruel and murderous, killing
It doesn’t matter whether you are a plot character or an executor.
I don’t deny that the above remarks are correct on the surface, but please don’t forget another thing, that is...
According to the executor's experience in many missions, there is often a certain law in supernatural missions, that is, no matter what the situation, as long as the executor is in the mission world, the danger is bound to be inevitable. Unless a way out can be found in the end, otherwise there will be no danger in the mission.
They will never let go of the executor! The other party will keep attacking and raiding until all the living people are slaughtered!
Yes, it is unavoidable and unavoidable. In this way, everyone's thoughts and ideas can be best explained. Of course the executor is afraid of the wolf, but the question is, what if you don't provoke the wolf? Even if you don't take the initiative to Zhao Rao
Will the executor be let go? The answer is obviously impossible. In this case, since
Of course, the locusts will not let them go sooner or later, so it is better to act immediately and take the initiative, find the plot characters in advance and protect them before the locusts attack the plot characters, and while ensuring that you are not dead, you can also complete the plot.
If you save the characters together, you can get additional rewards.
The above are the true thoughts of most people at present. It is conceivable that others understand that He Fei, as the captain, cannot not understand this truth, so it is natural that after listening to Gao Jikun's words, He Fei remained silent for a long time.
He nodded directly and immediately started chatting, telling everyone about the personal plan he had already formed.
"My plan is group protection."
Hearing this, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu and Zhao Ping, who had also experienced the mission in Hoi An City, all instinctively froze. In the memories of the three of them, Ye Wei seemed to have arranged this way at that time, but it was a pity that all the plots in the end
The characters still died, and no one was left alive. Unexpectedly, this time He Fei still designated a group protection plan as before. Of course, this is not to say that group protection is not good, but after a similar experience...
In other words, is this group protection really good? Is it really perfect?
Because of his doubts, the college student trailed off. Cheng Ying looked hesitant. After a slight hesitation, she raised her head and reminded, "Have you forgotten that back then..."
Xu Shi had long expected that Cheng Ying, Peng Hu or Zhao Ping would have different ideas. Before the other party could finish their words, He Fei raised his hand to stop him, waved his hand to interrupt, and then talked about the key points to explain the reasons under the gaze of everyone.
.
The atmosphere was silent. First, he silently glanced at everyone present, and finally explained to Cheng Ying and everyone in a solemn tone: "I know that there are shortcomings in group protection. The shortcoming is that there are a large number of protected people. Once we disperse the protection, it will inevitably
As a result, people are dispersed, and the scattered forces cannot be concentrated. The resistance to the attacks of locusts will naturally be a little weaker. As we all know, locusts often like to attack lone people first, but..."
Having said this, He Fei paused for a moment, and his original solemn face was inadvertently replaced by entanglement. He was silent for a moment, and then changed the subject and revealed the whole story: "Everything has its relative nature. If there is no group protection, then
We have only two options left, either the executors gather together to protect the plot characters one by one, or they
The five people were found and gathered together for unified protection. However, everyone should not forget that this is a city, a very large city. Just now, everyone and I learned the location of the five people through the map. The locations are quite scattered, and
The attacks of the wolf are always very fast. Once we seriously adopt the non-dispersion plan, we will definitely be too late in time."
Yes, He Fei's explanation has made it quite clear, that is, if the executors gather together without grouping or decide who to save based only on the changes in the light spots on the map, the final result will undoubtedly be that no one can be saved, even if they try to save all the people in advance.
Strictly speaking, when the protected persons gather together in one place, don’t the executors have to disperse and search first? If they don’t disperse and search,
It's too late in terms of time. Yes, if you look at the matter purely from the perspective of saving people, then there is no doubt that grouping is the best choice. Of course, the disadvantages of grouping have just been mentioned, but in order to obtain a large number of branch rewards, even if
The executor must also do this if there are risks. According to past experience, it is unlikely that the executor will be let go.
To put it simply, it can be understood that according to past mission experience, no matter whether you protect it or not, the tiger will definitely change its target after killing all the plot characters, and transfer the attack target to the executor.
Peng Hu has never been the kind of person who likes to complicate simple things. For him, there is no need to complicate things that can be simplified. As expected, after hearing He Fei's explanation, the bald man immediately slapped his thigh and said: "I will
, after all that, is it not about protection? Since protecting the plot characters is a unanimous decision of everyone, let’s stop talking nonsense. Brother, just tell us how to group them next. Brother Peng, I will listen to your arrangements.
.”
The bald man's first statement took the lead. After expressing his statement, everyone present also expressed their acceptance after a short discussion. Acceptance was acceptance, agreement, and agreement. However, the questions that came later were also
The next thing that popped into my mind came straight to my heart, and that was...
How to group?
How to group them? How many groups? Even who is grouped with whom?
Since everyone knows that this kind of issue cannot be decided quickly through discussion, it is natural that when they think of this and look at each other for a moment, everyone's vision shifts and their eyes focus on He Fei.
There is no doubt that, as described above, in order to implement the protection plan as quickly as possible, the fastest way to arrange it is for the captain to arrange it under such circumstances.
Sensing the gaze directed at him, He Fei was immediately troubled. Furthermore, knowing that the personnel arrangements must be carefully considered, the college student fell into deep thought. While thinking, his eyes began to move and scan, and his eyes passed over everyone's faces one by one.
but……
During the scanning process, at the moment when his vision swept over Chen Xiaoyao and just reached Zhao Ping's face, he discovered something. He detected a special charm and an unusual hint in his eyes from the other person's eyes hidden under the lenses.
.
(Huh? Could it be...)
Who is He Fei? He is both a senior and a smart person. Both parties have been familiar with each other for a long time. Sometimes seniors communicate with seniors without deliberately using words. Often a movement or even a look can let the other party understand what they mean.
Just like at this moment, when his vision swept across Zhao Ping, although it was just a simple eye contact, he could still vaguely detect the general meaning from the glasses man's eyes.
The truth is indeed true, but somehow, seeing the other person's eyes, he became more and more uneasy, as if something inevitable and big was about to happen...
(No way? How is it possible? Is this guy crazy? Does he know what he is about to do? Or does he really think he is invincible?)
After scanning the crowd and thinking for nearly a minute, He Fei finally made up his mind and spoke first: "Currently, we have 10 people, and there are 5 plot characters. Based on this, I decided to divide the people into 5 groups.
There are two members in each team, each protecting one plot character, that is, every two people protect one person, is that okay?"
The response was a unanimous nod from everyone.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, He Fei took a long breath and continued: "Well, okay, since everyone has no objections, then... let's start grouping people."
