Chapter Nine hundred and Thirteen: Rule Constraints
This means that He Fei's identity is real. At least in this mission world, he is a genuine American police officer. In addition, he is also the assistant to the plot character Detective Jim, and has the opportunity to contact the protagonist in the events involved!
This arrangement is quite reasonable. Since the curse intends to let the executor participate in the movie, then the curse must give everyone an identity that can more or less contact the event. First of all, it must be clear that most of the plot of "Dead Silence" revolves around Raven.
The town of El is unfolding, which means that no matter what the identity is, in the final analysis, it must meet the basic premise of the contact incident. If a group of executioners are thrown into a castle far away from Raven El,
In the city, everyone is given an identity that is completely different from any character in the movie. Coupled with many rules and restrictions, the executors will be completely blinded and dumbfounded by then. Being unable to contact the event means that they cannot rewrite the ending and cannot rewrite it.
The ending means that the protagonist Jamie will still die at the hands of the female hawk as in the original movie, and once the protagonist dies, there will be no other way for everyone but to kill him.
Returning to the topic, seeing that his young assistant had no intention of resisting his authority as a leader, Inspector Jim's expression softened slightly, and his complaining expression disappeared, and then he habitually took out an electric razor from his pocket as in the original movie,
Then with a while
The buzzing sound slowly scraped the stubble under the chin until the stubble was completely shaved. After facing the mirror and looking at it for a moment, he put the razor back into his pocket. The detective then spoke to He Fei while clicking his lips.
The truth, tell me the urgent matter that urgently needs He Fei’s help:
"Well, lunch time is almost here, Agent He... How about you go out and buy me two hot dog rolls?"
Silence, speechlessness, the scene was quiet for a moment, and the other party was frozen for a moment, at least in the eyes of Inspector Jim. In the eyes of the man, at this moment, his assistant was opening his mouth slightly and looking a little dull.
(It turns out that the plot has not officially started yet, and the current time period of the executor is very likely to be the eve of the plot. Of course, the above are just speculations. As for how to prove...)
"Agent He, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing. Don't worry, sir. I'll go out and buy it right now!"
Seeing that the assistant decisively agreed, Inspector Jim nodded with satisfaction. In his opinion, it was natural for subordinates to run errands for the leader. Originally, he was a little worried about whether the Asian assistant assigned to him by the bureau yesterday would obey.
Commander, after all, today's young people are not as sincere, honest, hardworking and uncomplaining as his generation.
He had just ordered the other party to buy hot dogs. Wasn't it a deliberate test? To test whether the other party was honest and obedient. Now he saw that the other party was not dissatisfied at all, and he answered happily. Only then did Inspector Jim feel completely relieved. Everyone said that Dongfang
People have a strong sense of obedience. This statement is indeed correct, but...
Since the other party agreed so happily, why did he still stand there for a long time?
"Huh? Why aren't you going yet? It's already 12:15 noon. The commander in front of you and you must be very hungry, huh? Is it possible that you don't have any money with you?"
"No, no, no, sir, don't get me wrong, I'll treat you to this meal."
Seeing Detective Jim suddenly wanting to touch his wallet, He Fei hurriedly waved his hand to stop him and shook his head in denial. Then he asked him a question in as calm a tone as possible, a question he had to ask to confirm his guess:
"Sir, I would like to ask, has our police station received any major cases recently?"
"Big case? Haha, young people are quite motivated. They are very similar to me in the past. When I first started working as an agent, I paid attention to various cases like you. I understand that as a new agent, you urgently need
Make some achievements to prove yourself, but unfortunately, except for some common theft and robbery cases in the bureau recently, there are currently no difficult cases to trouble professionals like you and me."
(Is there no case that is difficult to solve? It seems that further intelligence collection is needed.)
………
As shown in many European and American movies, American cities are as noisy as domestic big cities. The fast-paced life of modern society has gradually made Americans living in cities feel pressured. This is why in recent years many wealthy Americans
This is why people move to the countryside or the west one after another.
The weather today is not good, and even bad is not an overstatement. There is a cool breeze, the sky is gray, and the sky above the city is shrouded in dark clouds. Under such an environment, the streets tend to be desolate, and passers-by will inevitably speed up their pace. Logically speaking, it will not be long before
The sky is about to rain, but the strange thing is that the dark clouds that have been covering the sky since early morning have not rained for a long time. There is not a drop of rain. It feels quite strange, but this pair
For He Fei, who was currently buying hot dogs at a fast food stall on the roadside, it didn't have much to do with him. The owner of the hot dog stall was an old man. He handed the two hot dogs to He Fei along with the packaging bags.
After holding it in his hand, the old man first subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the sky above him, and then murmured to himself: "The dark clouds have been deposited for too long. It is rare. In my memory, it only happened once a few decades ago."
He Fei originally wanted to return to the police station as soon as possible and continue to collect information from Inspector Jim. He took the hot dog and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, He Fei's heart moved when he heard the old man's words. He may have thought of some details of the movie from the old man's words.
, who was about to return to the police station, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked the old man in a curious tone: "Sir, what do you mean by this? And what is that thing you just said?"
"Oh? Could it be that, young man, you are interested in what I am talking about?"
"Yes, after all, the dark clouds have lasted for nearly a day. I am personally curious about why the rain has not fallen?"
Seeing the Asian young man curiously asking, and the old man who was bored seemed to want someone to chat with him, He Fei's question came up. The old man opened the conversation, thought for a few seconds, and then answered truthfully: "Well, probably
In 1948, I was just a kid living in the small town of Holder. I remember that one day, just like today, there were dark clouds from the morning until it got dark and then it started to rain heavily. Of course,
The above are not the most bizarre places.”
"Oh? Sir, please continue."
Confirmation aroused the other party's interest. The old man felt complacent for a while. Unexpectedly, his expression changed slightly the next moment, as if he was recalling something terrible. His old face condensed for a moment, and then he changed his tone under He Fei's increasingly solemn gaze and spoke with a bumpy expression.
The tone continued: "But, just after the heavy rain, the second
On this day, dozens of people died in the town of Ravenel, which is not far from the town of Holder! More than a dozen families were all dead in one night. All the tongues of the deceased were missing, and the corpses were completely covered with stains.
They were posed like a family portrait, and it is said that to this day the police have not found the murderer."
"Young man, you understand now. It is precisely because today's sky is so similar to that of decades ago that I can't help but think of the past."
Ding!
As soon as the old man said this, He Fei, who was listening attentively in front of the stall, was startled unconsciously. He was not frightened by the old man's story. After all, he had watched the original movie "Dead Silence" several times and he still understood the plot of the film.
In fact, what really caused him to be frightened was that the old man's narration did not appear in the original movie, and this narration reminded him of a certain horrific and strange thing that happened at the beginning of "Dead Silence", that is, at the beginning of the movie.
I believe everyone who has watched the movie "Dead Silence" knows that not long after the beginning of the movie, the protagonist Jamie's new wife Lisa died in the apartment building. The way of death was by pulling out her tongue. Originally, this was just a plot of the movie.
At the beginning of the formula, its function is only to create terror and extend the plot later, but! After the old man just narrated, He Fei suddenly remembered that the night of Lisa's death also happened to be a night of heavy rain!
Thinking of this, I looked up at the sky covered with dark clouds...
(Is it possible...)
Da da da da da!
There was no reason or sign. Just when the old man wanted to continue to show off his experience and recall the past, the young man moved in front of the stall. The Asian young man who had been standing across from him just now and listened attentively ran away as if he was crazy. He just said hello.
Bubu suddenly turned around and ran at full speed, his body gradually getting further and further away until he disappeared around the corner of the street.
The old man was surprised and froze on the spot, but for He Fei, who was returning quickly to the police station, none of this mattered. What mattered was the progress of the plot, and what was important was the discovery of details, which made him extremely anxious and focused on running, because
He just realized...
Tonight may be the moment of death for the protagonist’s wife!
Seeing this, someone must be curious about what He Fei plans to do? The answer is very simple. Before answering, I must first mention one thing, that is, the story of the movie "Dead Silence" begins with the murder of the protagonist's wife. It is precisely because of Lisa's death that the story begins.
It prompts the protagonist Jamie to go to the small town of Ravenel to investigate the cause of his wife's death, and ultimately leads to Jamie being killed by a female locust at the end of the film!
In fact, He Fei had already done a lot of analysis on the female locust's ability when he first watched the film. Through observing the female locust in the film, he found that there seemed to be no regional distance limit for the female locust to kill someone. That is to say, as long as the female locust intends to kill someone,
People, then the person who is attacked will inevitably die no matter where they are. The protagonist's wife was not in the town of Ravenel when she was killed, but in a city far away.
The result? He was still killed by the female hawk. However, even so, He Fei still noticed a strange detail, that is, the female hawk's no-distance restriction seemed to be ineffective only for the male protagonist Jamie. Simply speaking, it can be understood as the female protagonist.
Marishaw can ignore the distance and attack anyone she wants to kill, but she cannot attack the male protagonist and cannot kill the male protagonist outside the town of Ravenel.
After realizing this, if He Fei realizes something, and if his analysis is correct, then the entire film is a conspiracy, a murderous conspiracy deliberately created by the female locust!
Judging from the film, it is obvious that the female protagonist's plan was successful. Mary Shaw successfully used the death of the protagonist's wife to arouse the male protagonist Jamie's desire to find the truth. In the end, in order to investigate whether the cause of his wife's death was related to the town legend, the protagonist took his wife's ashes with him.
Returning to the town of Ravenel, returning to the hometown town that the protagonist has not returned to since he was a child.
In this case, what is the connection between the above events and the executors?
Correlation? The correlation is huge. The correlation comes from the rules, a terrible setting that is unreasonable to the executor:
Once the protagonist Jamie dies, all executors will be wiped out!
In the original movie, Jamie finally died and was killed by a female at the end of the film. If the ending of the movie cannot be changed, then now that there are people who are familiar with the plot, no one wants Jamie to go to the small town to die. In the final analysis, it is just for
Save Jamie's life.
For himself, for his teammates, and for the entire executive team, He Fei naturally did not want Jamie to return to the town of Ravenel. In this case, the college students came up with ideas and unconsciously came up with a feasible solution...
If he had prevented Lisa, the protagonist's wife, from being killed, the protagonist Jamie would naturally not have gone to the town of Ravenel because of this!
………
Hurrying back to the police station, He Fei walked through the hall and went straight to Detective Jim's office.
"Sir, here's your lunch."
Two hot dogs were placed in front of the desk by He Fei. Seeing the assistant coming back so quickly, Detective Jim, who was reading the newspaper comfortably with his back on the seat, couldn't help but be startled. He smiled and praised: "Wow, Detective He, your actions
It’s really fast, it takes less than 10 minutes to go there and back. Could it be that you used to be a track and field athlete?”
Joking aside, seeing that the other party did not answer the question, he shrugged and put down the newspaper. The middle-aged man did not doubt that he was there. He picked up the hot dog and immediately started eating it with the coffee at the table. He Fei remained silent for a while. After witnessing this scene, he probably
There will be people who are confused about the process of the young man’s apparent return.
He was very anxious, but why did he remain silent and pretend to be mute in front of Jim? The reason is not difficult to understand, because He Fei just thought of a latest problem when he entered the police station, that is, with his current police identity, he is not qualified at all.
Suitable for finding the hero’s wife Lisa for no reason!
If he needed to find a plot character in previous supernatural missions, He Fei would naturally find the target as quickly as possible. However, the problem is that this mission is special. The curse not only gives the executor a fixed identity, but also requires the executor to follow the assigned identity.
Acting with identity, that is to say, although the executor has a clear understanding of the subsequent plot, he cannot disclose it to the outside world.
, otherwise it is a violation of the rules. Violation of the rules will be punished by deduction of survival points. Once the executor's personal behavior is restricted by the rules, the consequences can only follow the plot. This is undoubtedly something He Fei does not want to see. After all,
The ending of this movie is extremely tragic. Almost all the people involved in the incident were killed by the female locust. It is a standard dark ending, which means...
If He Fei is restricted by the rules and forced to act honestly and in accordance with the plot in his assigned identity, there will only be two imaginary endings waiting for him:
The first is to follow Inspector Jim and participate in the plot as the story develops, and then encounter the female slut like in the original movie. Inspector Jim is killed, so that even the assistant himself is very likely to be with Inspector Jim.
Being killed, well, to say the least, even if you don't die, you will still be unable to follow the protagonist to protect him due to identity restrictions. Being unable to protect means that the protagonist will eventually be killed as in the original plot. As the protagonist
Death, and all executors will be wiped out by the rules.
The second is that he ignores the rules and acts privately, letting go and doing things that are not in line with his status as a police officer. The advantage is that there is a greater chance of changing the plot and rewriting the future. The disadvantage is that he will be punished and deducted points. If he violates the rules frequently, his survival points will be deducted quickly.
Light thus ultimately led to his own demise at the end of the mission.
Two roads, two choices, but both end in death!
Some beads of sweat appeared on He Fei's forehead unconsciously.
but……
Then I thought about it, and a certain sense of contradiction came quietly and faintly. As for where the contradiction lies? Another additional message from the curse:
Although the identity is fixed, the executor can still respond with reasonable and logical excuses, so as to do what he wants to do without violating the rules. However, the excuse must be reasonable, and what he does must also conform to the fixed identity. Remember not to do it without reason.
, Violators will still have their survival points deducted.
The above is the original message. Although the task rules do mention that the executor can do something he wants to do by constructing reasonable and logical reasons. However, the question is how to find out for himself under the premise of being consistent with his own identity.
A logical reason? If the reason is not very reasonable, will you be punished by a curse and have your survival points deducted?
(No, something is wrong. According to past experience, the curse has always had only one way to punish those who violated the rules during the mission, and that is to simply and directly obliterate them. In that case, why, why did the curse put the obliteration at the end this time and instead
Give priority to deducting survival points as punishment? Huh? It’s difficult, is it difficult...)
"Sir, I need to go out first."
At this moment, He Fei, who was deep in thought, seemed to realize something. Thinking of this, he did not continue to remain silent, but said goodbye to Inspector Jim who was leisurely eating at his desk and left. Anyway, their investigation department did not take any cases at the moment, so they were generally relaxed.
It's very good, you can easily see it just from Inspector Jim's leisurely state.
Sure enough, when he heard the sound, Inspector Jim, who had been reading a newspaper and eating a hot dog across from him, instinctively moved away from the newspaper and looked at him. Seeing that the young self-help worker was still there, the middle-aged man couldn't help but look surprised: "Huh? Why are you still waiting?
Here? I thought you had gone out to eat a long time ago. Okay, okay, I have nothing to trouble you for the time being. You should go have lunch quickly. I will call you if anything happens."
He Fei, who had long wanted to leave the scene after being casually urged by Inspector Jim, pushed open the door and walked out without hesitation. However, after leaving, the young man did not rush to the cafeteria or eat out as Inspector Jim said.
The police station wandered around, turning left and right, passing through several corridors, and finally came to a door marked 'Information Room' and reached out to knock on the door.
Click.
The door opened from the inside, and what came into view was a white woman in casual clothes wearing a blue skirt. The woman had an ordinary appearance, about 30 years old. Seeing this, one thing had to be mentioned, that is, in addition to giving the identity of the executor, the curse also
To a certain extent, the executor was given some memories that fit his identity. Through the memory given, He Fei was able to call the other party's name. In his memory, the woman seemed to be a civilian employee of the police station, and she was usually responsible for managing the city's residents' information files.
"Hello Anna!"
"You are...ah, I remembered, you are Detective Jim's latest subordinate, Detective He Fei."
"Yes, well, if I take the liberty to disturb you, it won't affect the beautiful lady in front of me eating lunch, right?"
He Fei's police identity this time was not a fake one like in the past, but a real police investigation. Since there was no doubt about his identity, Anna had no doubts about the young man's identity when she saw him outside the door. Instead, she called out He Fei based on her memory.
Fei's name, as for He Fei? College students can be said to be smart. He glanced at the woman from the corner of his eye. When he realized that the half of the pizza in front of the table in the room had not been finished, He Fei hurriedly responded with kind words.
As the saying goes, experience comes from society, and society trains people with experience. It is conceivable that even ordinary society can train people. In a cursed space that is ten thousand times more terrifying than the real world, you are lying if you say it does not train people. Yes, in various tasks
After experiencing the world for a long time, He Fei is now much smoother in dealing with people than before. He knew that he needed help from the other party, so when they first met, it was like having honey on his lips.
While talking politely, you also mix in complimentary words from time to time in the conversation. As the saying goes, flattery never wears out. Everyone is willing to listen to good things. Especially when a handsome young man praises himself, most women like it. As expected, most women like it.
, seeing that the other party was so good at talking, Anna, who was originally a little dissatisfied at being disturbed while eating, unknowingly put aside her displeasure and now immersed herself in conversation.
"By the way, Agent He, what can I do?"
After chatting for a while, Anna suddenly returned to the topic. Seeing the other party asking, He Fei, who felt similar, also dropped other things and went straight to the topic: "That's it, my boss, Inspector Jim, asked me to check the information. Is that okay?"
"
He Fei is obviously lying, but it is not his fault, because at this time he must have a reasonable reason. It is true that he is capable of making up better and more reasonable excuses, but the problem is that he does not want to come up with ideas and does not want to bother
, he currently does not have the energy to deal with many things that have nothing to do with the mission. Since he is afraid of trouble, it is undoubtedly the best choice to directly move out Inspector Jim, his immediate boss.
Upon hearing that the other party was appointed by the leader, Anna did not continue to ask any more questions, but subconsciously responded with a look of disdain: "It turns out to be that guy, that mustache harassed me not long ago. To be honest, if he came to me in person
Will definitely reject it immediately
, Unless he moves the director here, I will never even think about stepping into the information room. In short, I will try my best to cause him some trouble, but since it is you, I will naturally not refuse you, this handsome guy.
, Okay, Agent He, please feel free to check it out."
I didn’t expect that Inspector Jim, who seemed serious in the movie, would actually do such a thing in private!
Of course He Fei knew that the other party was looking at his own face so as not to further damage Inspector Jim. Even so, as a direct subordinate of Mustache, what could he say? After hearing this, He Fei could only smile awkwardly and refuse to accept it.
After saying that, he walked into the room immediately, and then checked the computer information under Anna's guidance.
In front of the computer, He Fei listened intently, while Anna stood aside and was responsible for explaining:
"You can conduct different levels of information searches based on the information provided by your mustachioed boss. Except for tourists, you can find the personal information of local residents in the information database. Sorry, my pizza is getting cold."
Since the meal was not finished, Anna gave some instructions and then returned to the table to continue eating her pizza, which had long lost its warmth. As for He Fei...
After understanding the operation process and seeing that the other party was no longer around, the college student immediately tapped the keyboard with his fingers and typed a string of English letters directly in the search bar: Davis Lisa.
