The "psychological traps" mentioned by the criminal technique are actually similar to those institutions they encountered in the Heaven and Earth Mansion and the underground cave of the Peerless Building. The Cast Iron Immortal is a guy who understands people's hearts very well, and every time he sets up a mechanism, it is actually aimed at the dark side of people's psychology, and this time is no exception.

Although the above schematic diagram makes it clear the types and functions of the organs, in general, there are too many detailed things that are not explained. The most important point is, how can this mechanism be considered completely activated? It's impossible for something designed thousands of years ago to have a sensing device, right? Therefore, there must be a time limit between the time when these two skulls emerge from the surface and when the mechanism is fully activated.

The torture technique approached the skull at the bow of the ship, and carefully illuminated it with a flashlight, looking for it.

Tan Tong probe asked, "Torture, what are you looking for?" ”

The torture technique didn't answer, Bai Zhongzheng said on the side: "He should be looking for the timing method of the mechanism, this is a big problem, without a timing device, you don't know when the poisoned arrow will be launched." ”

After a long time, the torturer sighed: "No timekeeping device was found. ”

Tan Tong's face changed, looking at the others, Bai Zhongzheng and Yan Gang glanced at each other, and neither spoke, this is too terrifying and too torturous for the four people on the boat, no one knows when the poisoned arrow will be shot, maybe the next second? Maybe a minute later? Maybe ten minutes? Maybe half an hour?

Who knows.

Everyone understands that the terrible thing about this kind of psychological trap is here, making you tense your nerves at any time, ready to die at any time, and thinking at any time - why should I die? Why didn't anyone else die?

In this environment, almost everyone will think of self-preservation, almost all people will subconsciously hide next to other people, but that is not, there must be someone who gets an arrow, even if it is a backpack in front of him to get an arrow.

Finally, Tan Tong spoke: "I'll sit ...... Go ahead! I got it! ”

Tan Tong's face was covered with sweat, and he reluctantly squeezed out a smile towards everyone: "You have to choose someone, right?" There are four people on the boat, just count me as the most useless, in case something happens to me, you can still find a way to save me, but if someone of the three of you has an accident, it will drag down the whole team, so I carry a backpack in front and back, stuffed with things, and one person to block it, better than two people, right? This way, you don't have to worry about which skull will shoot poisoned arrows, there are things to resist in front and back! ”

After Tan Tong finished speaking, he went to grab Bai Zhongzheng's backpack beside him, Bai Zhongzheng held his hand and shook his head slightly, at this moment, the stern and bow of the boat began to bubble again, and then two crossbow-like machines emerged from under the water, and on top of the machinery, there was a sharp arrow about 50 centimeters long!

Xing Shu and Yan Gang looked at the direction of the bow of the boat, Tan Tong and Bai Zhongzheng looked at the direction of the stern of the boat, and they both found some gear-like things under the strange crossbow, which slowly flipped over, tightening the silver-white bowstring above, and then made a "click" sound.

After the "click" sound came out, the four of them trembled all over, and it took a long time to slowly spit out the breath they were holding.

Bai Zhongzheng nodded slightly towards Tan Tong and said, "See?" Don't be a hero, with the strength of these two strong crossbows, you don't have two backpacks, and they can also penetrate you! ”

The torture technique with a sweaty face said: "It was only the first step before, but now it is the second step, and at this step, we still don't know when the poisoned arrow in the crossbow will be shot." ”

Yan Gang nodded: "I understand, the purpose of this kind of organ is to make us infighting, because everyone doesn't want to die, they are afraid of death, and they put psychological pressure on us from the beginning, so that we are afraid, afraid from the bottom of our hearts, and we don't know when the poisonous arrow will be shot, normally speaking, if it weren't for the four of us, if we were other people, we would definitely have selected the victims in some way......"

But the victim is not stupid, normal people will come up with the same method as Tan Tong, double-sided backpack to try to resist the poisoned arrows, the next second step is to let people see the huge crossbow and the long arrows on the crossbow, in this way, the previously selected victim will inevitably retreat, because he agreed to "sacrifice" before, which is completely based on his belief that the backpack can resist poisonous arrows.

When he sees the real crossbow and poisoned arrows, he will have the idea of retreating, which is 100%, and then there will be infighting in the team, maybe everyone will force the victim to continue, or the victim will be under great fear and pressure, and will be ruthless to the others first, so as to increase his survival rate.

This setting worked just as well as it did a millennium ago.

"I have a solution." Xingshu glanced left and right, "Now, you all do what I say, Xiaobai, you lie on the left side of the stern, Yan Gang, you lie on the left side of the bow, you two can just fork." ”

Bai Zhongzheng and Yan Gang didn't know why, but based on their trust in the torture technique, they immediately did so.

Then, the torture technique said: "Cannon King, you lie in the middle, squeeze between the two of them, lie down, don't move." ”

Tan Tong also did the same immediately, and just got down, only to find that the torture technique was sitting directly on his back, that is, sitting in the center of the boat, and hanging all the backpacks on his body.

Bai Zhongzheng and Yan Gang also found out what the torture technique wanted to do, and immediately turned over and was about to get up, and the torture technique said sharply: "Lie down for me!" ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, maintaining that action, and Tan Tong, who was sitting under him, was angry: "What the hell are you a hero!?" Get up for me, say I'm coming! ”

"Cannon King, when the crossbow came out before, you were already afraid, even if you really let you go up, at the critical moment, you may still dodge, it's not that I don't trust you, this is human nature, it's not a big deal." Torture sat there looking at the crossbow in front of him, "Besides, I'm the employer, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have come to this hellish place, so it's my responsibility to protect you and let you leave safely!" ”

After the torture was finished, Bai Zhongzheng and Yan Gang couldn't say what they wanted to say before, Yan Gang was also silent, he knew that the torture was telling the truth, he was indeed afraid, in fact, before the crossbow came out, he was still confident, but after seeing the crossbow arrow, he was really afraid, he thought of a series of things such as he was not married, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and even came out "Why let me go to the top?" "These kinds of thoughts.

After a long time, Bai Zhongzheng finally asked, "Torture, are you ...... Is there anything you would like to explain? ”

Xingshu shook his head: "No, there is a suicide note in my safe." ”

"Huh?" Yan Gang was surprised, "You left a suicide note before you came?" ”

Xingshu shook his head again: "This is a habit, most of the merchants will do this, from the first time I went out alone, my master asked me to write a suicide note, if I come back safely this time, then put this suicide note away, and write it again before going out next time, after all, every once in a while, a person's accumulation and gains and losses will become different, because no one knows what will happen after they leave, what will happen, many things are not under their control, even if they are smart, no matter how cautious they are, they can't stand the so-called." 'Providence', right? ”

After the torture was finished, he smiled, and as soon as the smile appeared on his face, he heard the sound of the machine, and then the crossbow arrow on the crossbow behind the skull in the stern of the ship was fired, directly hitting the backpack in front of the torture......

Tan Tong, who was lying under the torture technique, was stunned, he didn't dare to turn his head to look at it for a long time, but Yan Gang immediately turned his head to look, Bai Zhongzheng also turned his head at the same time, but what he saw was the torture technique sitting there looking down at the crossbow arrow that had sunk into the backpack - the crossbow arrow penetrated the two thick backpacks in front of him.

"Torture!" Bai Zhongzheng finally shouted, and was about to get up, but was stopped by the torture.

"Don't move! The mechanism hasn't been taken down yet! Xingshu looked up at Bai Zhongzheng slightly, "You must not move, wait, you must wait until the organ is withdrawn, if the organ is not withdrawn, we will think of other ways, if I die, you can still keep my body, understand?" Mark my words! ”

Yan Gang looked sideways and clenched his fists, he knew that the arrow of the crossbow arrow must have pierced into the body of the torture technique, otherwise the torture technique would not have said something like "if I die".

After a while, the skull and crossbow slowly fell underwater, Yan Gang and Bai Zhongzheng immediately turned over, Yan Gang at the bow of the boat turned over and used a mountaineering pickaxe to kill the ship again, and Bai Zhongzheng came to the torture technique: "Cannon King, don't move first, I'll see how the torture is going!" ”

When Bai Zhongzheng took the backpack, he found that it was not easy to take it off, and then looked carefully at the face of the torture technique, his face was red at this time, and it was very red, and his lips also turned purple, obviously poisoned.

"Torture, is the stab deep?" Bai Zhongzheng grabbed the backpack, "If it's deep, I can't take it off, if it's shallow, I'll pull it out slowly." ”

The torture technique lowered his head, and his eyes were already a little blurry, but he was still holding on: "No...... Deep, right? I didn't feel it deeply, at most it was just an arrow piercing in, but I was definitely poisoned. ”

Bai Zhongzheng glanced at Yan Gang in front of him, Yan Gang nodded, Bai Zhongzheng grabbed his backpack and said, "Then I'll pull it out slowly, you bear with it." ”

The torture technique nodded slightly, and Bai Zhongzheng said again: "Cannon King, you must not move." ”

"Yes!" Tan Tong gritted his teeth under the torture technique and said, "Don't worry, you won't move even if you die!" ”

After Bai Zhongzheng slowly took off the backpack, the moment he finally took it off, the torture technique gritted his teeth and snorted, and when he took it off and roared, Bai Zhongzheng saw that there was a blood hole in the middle and right of the torture technique's chest, which didn't look deep, but the terrible thing was that all the black blood flowed out was enough, which was enough to prove that the arrow was really poisonous.

Afterwards, Bai Zhongzheng helped the torture technique up, Tan Tong carefully supported him, and Bai Zhongzheng immediately rowed forward with Yan Gang.

At this moment, Tan Tong said, "Hey, should we turn around and go back?" ”

"Why?" Bai Zhongzheng didn't react, but he stopped with Yan Gang.

Tan Daodao: "We went to the Jade Cave, we should go to the Medicine Cave, we went to the Medicine Cave, maybe we can find something to detoxify!" ”

Bai Zhongzheng looked at Yan Gang and said, "The Cannon King has a point! ”

Yan Gang nodded: "Then let's let go and go back downstream." ”

The three of them discussed it properly, and the torture technique was almost unconscious at this time, and his neck was crooked and leaned against Tan Tong's body.

Just when the three of them loosened their pickaxes and were about to let the boat go down the river, they saw a light flickering in the direction when they came, so they immediately stopped and waited there, and after a while, they saw Samuchuan and Xu You's boats rowing over.

Bai Zhongzheng, who was at the stern of the boat, immediately asked, "Samuchuan, what's wrong?" How did you get this way? ”

Samuchuan just shook his head slightly, with an angry face, but Xu You, who was sitting at the stern of the boat, tilted his head and said, "Need you say it?" Something went wrong, and we were tricked by Fan Meng. ”

Bai Zhongzheng and the three of them were stunned, and Tan Tong immediately asked, "What's going on?" ”

Samuchuan told the previous story, and after finishing speaking, Xu You added: "An hour has passed, and the fence has not been opened, which is enough to show that Fan Meng is unwilling to open the fence, but the most important thing is ...... What happened to the torture? ”

Xu You only saw at this time that the torture technique leaning on Tan Tong's body was dying.

Bai Zhongzheng said it briefly, and Xu You smiled.

While he laughed, Samuchuan and Bai Zhongzheng exchanged positions, jumped onto the ship, checked the injuries of the torture technique, and dealt with them simply, while Tan Tong scolded angrily: "You laugh at your mother's hair!" ”

Xu You still smiled: "I'm laughing, this is good luck in the torture technique, he will definitely not be able to die, as long as he crosses the underground river and reaches the medicine cave in front, he will be saved." ”

After Xu You finished speaking, everyone was stunned, Samuchuan looked back at him suddenly, and Kent, who was sitting in front of Xu You, also turned his head to look at him.

Bai Zhongzheng immediately asked, "Are you confused?" We went to the Jade Cave on this road, not the Medicine Cave! You're in the medicine cave! ”

Xu You put away his smile: "Which of these three caves is the medicine cave, which is the jade cave, and which one is the silver cave, those are all the words of Fan Meng!" ”

After Xu You's words, everyone present was stunned, and they all understood the meaning of his words - Fan Meng, who was the only one who knew what the three caves were, deliberately said the opposite, saying that the jade cave was a medicine cave, and the medicine cave was a jade cave, only the silver cave in the middle had not changed.

Bai Zhongzheng gritted his teeth and said: "This bastard, no wonder he suddenly had such a big change at that time, he kept saying that he wanted to save He Yuejia, he wanted to go to the medicine cave, let us come to the jade cave to get clues, in fact, he deceived us, his destination was to go to the jade cave to get clues, let us go to the medicine cave, and the three caves are separate, although they all have exits to leave, but the direction is different, plus the jade cave where he knows that there is a fence mechanism, as long as he doesn't open it inside, we have no way to chase it in!" ”

After Bai Zhongzheng finished speaking, Tan Tong said again: "It's not that simple, since he knows the fence mechanism of the real Jade Cave, maybe he also knows the switch here, he not only wants to design himself to get clues, but also designs to kill us." ”

"It's not killing us." Yan Gang looked at the torture technique and said, "It's a death penalty technique." ”

Samuchuan nodded slightly, and Xu You smiled: "The brain has finally opened up?" He knows very well the nature of torture, and he also knows that in the face of this choice of mechanism, torture will be 100% willing to sacrifice, as long as the torture is dead, his biggest enemy will disappear, this miscellaneous is not stupid at all, all the previous along the way, he deliberately exposed the flaws, that is, to make us think that he is just a manic, want to achieve the goal, but do not use his brains idiot. ”

Yan Gang sneered at this time: "But that's fine, if this is a medicine cave, the torture technique should also survive, so that the next time you meet Fan Meng, you don't need any hesitation, just kill him!" ”

Samuchuan, Tan Tong and Bai Zhongzheng all nodded vigorously, and Kent looked at everyone and nodded, and immediately nodded.

Xu You pointed ahead and said, "Let's go, it's important to save people!" Save the torture first, and then talk about the rest later, and besides, we have one of the biggest chips in our hands......"

Speaking of this, Xu You pressed his hand on Kent's shoulder, Kent was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Xu You for some reason.

And Xu You showed a weird smile towards the people in front of him.

And on the other side of the real jade cave, Fan Meng and Yuan Zhenba were in the middle of a quarrel, and He Yuejia and He Chenxue in the distance heard their quarrel, and their hearts were completely cold, because they had already heard from the conversation between the two of them that the cave they were in was a jade cave, and it was not a medicine cave that could save He Yuejia at all.

Yuan Zhen Bayi pushed Fan Meng to the cave wall, took the lever that had been interrupted by half in his hand, and raised it and said, "Fan Meng, you are too despicable!" You knew the mechanism of the fence from the beginning, so after you went ashore, you found the lever that could open the fence as soon as you went ashore, and then broke it directly! You just don't want anyone else to come back! ”

Fan Meng leaned against the cave wall and looked at Yuan Zhenba with a shallow smile, with a rogue expression.

Yuan Zhenba pointed to the depths of the cave: "Moreover, this is not a medicine cave, it is a jade cave at all, and it is the place where Xing Renju left clues!" You don't even want your wife's life for the sake of fucking profit! ”

Not far away, He Chenxue hugged her sister He Yuejia and glared at Fan Meng in the distance, but Fan Meng just raised her eyes to look at her, immediately looked away, yawned and said, "So what?" You want to kill me? Then come on, you kill me, who will take you out? Well? Only I know where the real road is! Moreover, the matter between me and my wife is my family affair, and it has nothing to do with you! Don't you see, my sister-in-law, is hating me, so what? ”

Yuan Zhenba carried the broken lever: "Fan Meng, you are the most despicable, shameless and unfinished miscellaneous person I have ever met!" ”

Fan Meng said with a smile: "Your words are inconsistent, at first you said that I am one of the people you have seen, and then you said that I am not a person, I am a miscellaneous, you speak incoherently, and then reorganize the language, I can wait for you, it's okay, if you don't want me to wait, you can get out of the way, I'm going to go in and do business, understand?" ”

Yuan Zhenba stood there, glaring at Fan Meng angrily, and finally moved a step to the side, allowing Fan Meng to tidy up his clothes and swagger over.

When Fan Meng walked past the He sisters, he didn't even look at it, but just grabbed his backpack and walked towards the depths of the cave with a flashlight.

Yuan Zhenba slowly walked to the He sisters, looked at He Chenxue and asked in a deep voice, "Do you regret it?" ”

He Chenxue didn't say anything, just lowered her head, while He Yuejia had tears in her eyes, biting her lip tightly, and the bitten lip was bloody.
