Chapter seven hundred and ninety nine: maze desperation
Yes, Qian Xueling has made progress. She finally realized that relying on others is not a long-term solution. Although her feelings for men have not changed, she still understands the personal philosophy that she had never thought of before. The reason is precisely to be strong.
, is independent. Even if she can indeed rely on Zhao Ping during the mission, what should she do if she is left alone? Just like the last mission, so what she just did is a kind of progress, and it also represents that Qian Xueling herself is becoming more and more mature.
The more you adapt to the cursed space.
However, nothing is absolute. Unlike the silence of the senior people in the front row, the reactions of some people in the back rows are really varied.
In the last row, Wu Junyou and Qiao Kaidi imitated the senior people in the front row and stared at the screen with solemn expressions. Only Chen Xiaoyao, who was in the third row, was unwilling to be lonely. Maybe he felt a little uncomfortable after being silent for a long time or maybe
It was because he really disliked someone. Finally, seeing that the task had not been released for a long time, Taoist Chen moved and turned around.
With his head turned toward Kong Ling, who was sitting next to him, he showed disdain and taunted in an exaggerated tone: "How thick-skinned are you, little girl? Ah? The third row is where a newcomer like you is qualified to sit.
Is that so? Doesn’t it hurt your conscience that you have the audacity to sit next to me even though you are not a senior person?”
As soon as Chen Daoshi said these words, Kong Ling, who stood beside him with a proud face and hands folded across his chest, responded immediately to take revenge according to his personal character. He showed disdain on the spot, and then raised his chin and said decisively in reply without even looking at the other person.
:"snort
, I’m sitting next to you to give you face. Who wants the third row to be less crowded? I hate it when there are more people crowded together. If I hadn’t vaguely felt that you are somewhat capable and barely qualified to talk to me, otherwise
I am too lazy to talk to you."
"Hey, you've just been dragged into the car two days ago? But you're right about something. I'm really quite capable, huh? Didn't I see that you, little girl, are quite discerning?"
Because he was so thick-skinned, he was as thick as the corner of a city wall. Listening to the girl's mocking attacks, Chen Xiaoyao was not only not angry but also inflated with pride. However, who would have thought that as soon as he finished boasting, the girl beside him made a slight movement.
She slowly turned her head and stared at the young man. Not only that, as her pupils locked onto the target, the girl stopped smiling. Instead, her face was expressionless, and her big eyes were as sharp and deep as the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, which captured the hearts of those who looked at them.
Chills and fear suddenly arise!
For some reason, the girl who was arrogant and naughty just now stared at each other and Chen Xiaoyao indifferently with a completely different look from before. Perhaps the difference between the girl's reaction and her impression was too big. For a moment, Chen Xiaoyao was actually attracted by the girl.
He couldn't help but tremble as he stared. The matter was not over yet. Just when he was about to speak, the next moment, the girl rushed to say something to Chen Xiaoyao in a cold tone, which was short and unremarkable.
words:
"You will die in this supernatural mission."
………
Prophecy is an adjective that generally refers to future predictions, which means to announce in advance events or results that are going to happen in the near future.
The above is a general explanation of prophecy. In fact, the real explanation is far from that simple. At least in the eyes of some scholars who specialize in the field, the word prophecy contains huge information, and the internal processes are complicated and difficult to understand, including the senses, mind, thinking, environment, etc.
factors, among which sensory factors are the most prominent.
Senses, as the name suggests, refers to the five senses of human beings. With the extension of vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell, prediction is different from vague premonitions and confused intuition, but a more accurate future.
The logic behind the speculation is unknown. The only thing that is known is that a person who truly has the ability to predict will often have the results of his predictions actually happen in the near future.
At this moment, the mysterious girl named Kong Ling stared at Chen Xiaoyao expressionlessly for a while, and finally said a judgment that was equivalent to a prophecy.
As for Chen Xiaoyao...
Ding!
After hearing the girl's words without any emotion, for some reason, Chen Xiaoyao's normally beating heart suddenly trembled for no reason!
This was an inexplicable feeling of heart palpitations that he had never experienced before, and it was also a sudden inner panic. Although the girl's voice was soft and calm when she spoke, in his ears it was like being crushed by a huge stone.
It was so heavy that it made his body weak and frightened, and made his hair stand on end.
Weird, surprisingly weird, who would have thought that the girl could scare Chen Xiaoyao, who had experienced countless storms, to this extent with just a prophecy that she didn't know was true or false?
Listening to the words, the young man's mentality suddenly changed, but then again, even though he was flustered for no reason, he did not show it after all.
"Hey, you little girl is pretty good at scaring people. Do you think you can scare me by deliberately pretending to be serious? I just say you are too naive."
As mentioned above, although Chen Xiaoyao was made guilty by the other party's words, in reality, Chen Xiaoyao did not show any signs of it. He still maintained his cynical appearance and immediately refuted it, showing that he was not fooled. It looked like this on the outside, but...
Therefore, I noticed that Taoist Chen was a dead duck and had a tough mouth. The girl stood beside him in an instant.
After recovering, the expressionless face just now returned to its original arrogance and liveliness, then he shrugged his shoulders and shook his head with a tone full of regret and sighed: "Hey, well, if you don't believe it, then I can't help it. Originally, I
I also plan to try to save you, but since you don’t believe it... let’s just wait and see.”
The corner of his mouth suddenly twitched at this moment, and his mentality became more and more collapsed at this moment. The young man gradually felt that he couldn't hold it any longer, so...
"Hehe, hehehe... I have to say that your acting skills are indeed first-class. Well, I admit that your performance is very good, so in order to cooperate with your performance, I will condescend to cooperate with you. Let me reiterate again.
, all the remarks I made below were made deliberately to coordinate with your performance, that..."
"Um, um, can you try to save me?"
Gazing at the young man's clearly uneasy but stubborn appearance, and listening to the other person's voice that was obviously trembling but trying to hide it, the girl smiled, rolled her eyes and revealed a sly smile, then shook her head to pretend to be profound, and spoke with full expression.
He nodded and replied in a arrogant tone: "Well, well, for the sake of your sincere plea, I will reluctantly give it a try."
"Ah, thank you, thank you very much. I'll treat you to ice cream next time!"
Bah, bah bah bah.
The so-called blessing is not a disaster, but disaster cannot be avoided. It will come when it should come. Just when Chen Xiaoyao was anxiously thanking him for his troubles, suddenly, there was a noise, and a series of sudden and harsh noises suddenly echoed around him, looking for reputation.
, I saw that the screen in front of me was already on, and the field of view was also dark. In an instant, all the lights in the car were collectively turned off, and then the entire
The carriage was plunged into darkness, and the sudden power outage unsurprisingly shocked the newcomers who were watching the mission preview for the first time. Fortunately, the panic did not last long. After it was confirmed that it was just the lights that went out, the newcomers' originally tense nerves were relieved.
Calm down, while the senior people focused their eyes and attention forward, focusing on the big screen in front of them. It was obvious...
Video preview will start soon, and the supernatural mission will be released soon!
………
Under the various ups and downs in my heart, I waited for a long time. Right in front, with the noise on the side, the lights turned off, and the dark screen displayed information.
Seeing this, everyone knew that the mission was about to be released. Immediately everyone held their breath and stared at the screen. For a while, the carriage was extremely quiet.
After a while, the noise disappeared and the screen slowly lit up. After the light was turned on, the screen turned into bursts of snowflakes, which combined with the dead silence gave people a depressing and eerie feeling. Until half a minute later, the snowflakes disappeared and a scene was replaced.
The picture is indescribable and the feeling is unexpected.
Looking carefully, what you can see is exactly as described above. This time the picture is a bit special. It is neither an external scene nor a room on the floor, but a white scene.
Yes, white, white covering the eyelids. Ever since the screen recovered from the snowflakes, the entire picture has been pure white. Not to mention the newcomers who were watching the video preview for the first time were confused by this scene. Even some veterans were confused for a moment.
Falling into suspicion, of course suspicion is suspicion, and incomprehension is incomprehension. In fact, all kinds of thoughts did not last long, and the reason came from the camera shift.
An endured his surprise and suppressed his sighs. At the moment when everyone couldn't help but turn their heads and look at each other, the camera moved. In the field of vision, the angle of the lens covered with white began to stretch, and slowly moved back. Finally, several faces looked at each other.
The connected white walls are displayed in the field of vision. However, it is worth mentioning that although the many white walls are connected to each other, they are not a room. They are not the expected room scene, but a room.
There was a series of weird corridors that resembled corridors and extended to different directions, and there was also a white closed roof above the wall. Seeing this, in front of the screen, everyone suddenly woke up, and it was only then that everyone finally figured out what it was.
What is it? It is obvious. As He Fei revealed earlier, what is displayed on the screen at this moment is a maze, a standard large indoor maze!
All scenes in the maze are all white, regardless of the walls, roofs and even the ground. At first glance, it gives people the first impression of being in a snowy world. Maybe the color of the environment is too monotonous. If there are people actually staying in it, it will be okay for a short time, but for a long time
It will inevitably cause discomfort step by step. Of course, the above is not the point. The point is the video itself.
The meaning, as expected, starts from the extension of the camera, and then unfolds and moves in time like the first-person perspective. The unblinking field of view of the executor in front of the screen has also been shifting with the camera, and it just shuttles back and forth here.
In a white space with well-developed connections and frequent turns, the process is eerily silent and the movement is silent.
The result can be imagined. Since this place is a standard maze, it is impossible to go straight to the end in a straight way. This is said to be true, and the same is true. As the picture moves, as far as the eye can see, every time the slowly advancing camera turns
After turning around one blocking wall, the next identical wall also blocked the progress in the sub-barrier road, so the camera was forced to turn and choose another corridor to continue moving forward, heading towards another maze passage.
Strangely enough, not only was the video preview so quiet this time, there were no horrifying scenes like in the past. The only thing that existed was shuttles, and the screen was always filled with camera shuttles. It’s been a long time since I’ve watched this scene.
It gradually brings some kind of visual dizziness to people, but...
As time went by, in front of the screen, just as the executor was looking more and more confused and dizzy, something unexpected happened.
In the field of vision, when the endlessly advancing camera tape turned the corner of the wall, a new picture appeared. A scene different from the white surroundings finally appeared in front of the camera!
Yes, although the camera is currently far away from the thing in front, I believe anyone with normal vision can clearly see what it is. It is a door, a red door. At the same time, the red door and the surrounding white scene also create a strong visual effect.
Contrast, no one knows why the door is red, and no one knows what causes such a visual contrast, but at least one thing is undeniable, that is, looking at the red door, people have already guessed the result and anticipated the ending.
All the above are speculations. Since they are only guesses, what are the facts? What is the final result?
The results were both expected and unexpected.
It is true that the camera moved and found the door, but what was unexpected was... in front of the screen, just when everyone thought that the camera would continue to move and go straight to the red door, the screen disappeared.
It is similar to losing the signal in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the picture disappears, and the huge screen is transformed into a screen full of snowflakes.
Not only that, as the screen was filled with snowflakes, the screen began to dim, getting darker and darker, until it completely returned to the original full screen blackness.
When the screen turned to black, several lines of blood-red text followed and showed up:
Mission name: Maze of despair.
Mission location: Anal Geometric Maze.
Mission goal: Find the exit in Andel's geometric maze and leave.
Tip: This mission is an escape survival game. After entering the mission, the executor will first be dismantled and randomly assigned to various corners of the maze. The executor must try his best to find the exit in this criss-crossing maze.
Once you find the door representing the exit and pull it open to leave, the task will be deemed completed. Those who complete the task will be instantly teleported back to the Hell Train. However, there are some unknown dangers and unknown changes in the maze.
Mission difficulty: Normal level.
Note (1): After completing the task, the executor will receive a 2-point survival point reward.
Note (2): There is no time limit for this mission. During the mission, the executor is prohibited from using all props. If used forcibly, the props will be invalid.
………
The red text stayed on the screen for about a minute and then disappeared. Along with it, the lights were restored, and everything in the carriage returned to normal.
The environment is bright and transparent, and the cabin is nothing out of the ordinary.
If according to past habits, after watching the video preview, the reaction of the executor is nothing more than concentrated thinking and decisive analysis. After all, the end of the video means that the task is about to begin. In order to find clues as much as possible, people will always use the temporarily safe time to analyze in detail or communicate with each other.
The discussion turned out to be different this time, completely different.
At this moment, after watching the video preview and browsing the mission information, in the carriage, excluding the newcomers, the seniors were all confused and silent. Almost everyone had a trace of confusion and complexity on their faces that was difficult to erase. He Fei was like this.
Cheng Ying is like this, Peng Hu is like this, Zhao Ping is like this, all senior people are like this. The scene is like putting a high school test question in front of a fifth-grade elementary school student, causing the viewer to be intoxicated and confused without knowing what it means.
The reason is not difficult to answer. In the final analysis, it can be summed up in one point, that is, it seems simple and easy to understand, but in fact it is unclear what it means.
Fortunately, everyone is not a rookie, and they have more or less understanding. Finally, after about a minute, the initial confusion has passed, and the seniors have changed their expressions, from the initial confusion to frowning, and even uneasiness hidden between the eyebrows.
, what's going on? Logically speaking, there is no need for everyone to be so uneasy. After all, the mission information has been clearly introduced, and the executor only needs to find the exit in the maze as stated in the mission. In this case, the senior team headed by He Fei
Why are you uneasy? Why are you frustrated?
The answer is extremely simple, or the real source of their uneasiness comes from the end of the message, from the deliberately added warning:
There are some unknown dangers and unknown changes in the maze.
Yes, this is the real point of concern for experienced people at present. Although the white maze looks similar to some maze parks in reality, its main function is nothing more than to test the memory or observation of the entrants. But please don’t forget one thing.
This is a cursed space, and the maze that everyone is about to encounter is a maze created by a curse.
It is conceivable that the curse has always been ill-intentioned towards the executor, so the maze it created is beyond the ability of ordinary people to figure out. God knows what is hidden inside the maze? And God knows whether the maze itself will follow the signs of ordinary mazes.
What to follow? If there is some kind of inevitable trap hidden inside, will everyone still be alive by then?
The curse will deceive people, and it will deceive the executor not once or twice!
As mentioned above, because they knew too much about the hidden murderous intent of the curse, the veterans who had suffered serious psychological shadows after experiencing the last supernatural mission collectively fell into a state of doubt, wondering whether the curse was playing word games again.
I wonder if the other party is setting a trap for everyone.
As for the wolf...
The answer is also yes. Although there is not a trace of lynx in the video preview from beginning to end, no one believes that there are no larvae in the maze even if they are beaten to death. Not only is it very likely that there are larvae, but it is even more likely that the larvae will attack the executor.
It's a certainty, and if that's the case, key questions will follow.
Is there only one oyster hidden in the maze?
What is the attack method of worms?
Also...
At the end of the video, is the last red door shown really the exit?
When there are more questions, there will naturally be more doubts, and there is a certain truth in the saying that the more you know, the less courage you will have. Just like this, in Car No. 1, most of the senior people in the front row are full of doubts and complicated thoughts, and they are thinking.
, trying to find out some clues from the task information.
Of course, just because most people are like this does not mean that everyone is like this. If you stretch your field of vision and turn your gaze, if you look beyond the front row and look behind you, you will witness the completely opposite scene.
At this moment, the back row was filled with questions. Even after watching the video preview and receiving the mission information, Wu Junyou and Qiao Keidi were still as confused as before, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and their expressions changed from the beginning.
In the end, there was no trace of fear. The reason was mainly because this time was special. From the beginning to the end of the video preview, there was not even a single scary scene, just a maze. This caused two people who should be extremely afraid of supernatural missions.
name
The young people subconsciously did not feel much sense of terror and crisis from the video. Maybe in their eyes, this was just a maze. Just like a real maze park, they only need to search. No matter how long it takes, they only need to find it in the end.
Just open the red door that represents the exit. Anyway, the mission information also specifically mentioned that the mission has no time limit. Since there is no time limit, even if you can't find the exit temporarily, as long as you have enough time, you will find the exit sooner or later.
Time passed slowly, and the atmosphere was so depressing until a certain sound broke it.
"How? What do you think of the so-called maze?"
The speaker was Cheng Ying, who had finished thinking, and the question was undoubtedly directed at He Fei in the first row. Similarly, the question raised by Cheng Ying inevitably attracted the attention of everyone around him. For a time, many eyes were cast on him, and they were all focused.
As for the college student in the front row who had been silent for a long time, what was a little strange was that when faced with the question and the gaze, He Fei neither shook his head to express ignorance nor nodded in reply, but took a deep breath as an answer.
"call!"
Taking a deep breath, the college student quietly turned around and looked into everyone's eyes. After looking at each other for a moment, the young man did not express his personal opinions in a long speech as before, but only said a short and profound speech:
"What is virtual is real, what is real is virtual. What you see with your eyes is different, and what you see with your vision is half true and false."
After saying that, He Fei raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. He Fei stood up from his seat and gave a reminder to everyone in the back row:
"The mission is about to begin. Before that, I have three pieces of advice to tell everyone, especially newcomers, who must keep it in mind."
"You have all watched the video preview and mission information. I won't say more about it. What I want to remind everyone is that first of all, you must understand that after entering the mission this time, the team will not gather, but will be randomly assigned positions. Because it is not clear
Are there any worms in the maze and what are their abilities? So I
It is recommended that everyone should be careful if they encounter teammates while searching for the exit of the maze. As for what to do, it depends on how the individual responds. Secondly, since the mission location is a maze, I think you should remember to do this during the search.
Some symbols that I can understand. As for the last point..."
"In my personal opinion, the red door that appeared in the previous video is most likely the real exit. I don't think the curse can do anything about this, otherwise we will be destroyed. I hope everyone will keep these three points in mind.
, Okay, the train will stop in two minutes, everyone is ready to get off."
