Chapter 159: Locking the Basement
At the same time, on the second floor of the ancient castle, at the staircase of a corridor, He Fei and Zhao seemed to be talking about something......
"Are you sure you want to split up?"
"What if you don't separate? The first and second floors have almost all been searched by you and me, and no one else has been found, so we must tell everyone the way to survive as soon as possible, and we can't delay it, what if other people are in danger? ”
When He Fei informed Zhao Ping of his personal intentions, for a while, the glasses man's heart was extremely complicated, Sven's face was blue and white for a while, it was obvious that the man was engaged in a battle between heaven and man in his mind, but he didn't expect that when He Fei told him the way to live, before he showed his joy, the other party told him that the news must be notified to others as soon as possible, and then he took the initiative to propose to act separately.
As for what to do separately? Naturally, they found other team members in the castle, and then told everyone how to survive, after all, the two had discovered that the mobile phone signal was inexplicably blocked a long time ago, and it was true to say so, but ......
But in this way, it means that both of them have to take great risks!
Unconsciously, the corners of Zhao Ping's mouth twitched, yes, at present, the man with glasses is full of worries about his future, and it is a good thing to know that he is alive, but unexpectedly, He Fei proposed to find the rest of the executors in the ancient castle, although it is undeniable that the dodge method of the female scorpion on the second floor is now known, but what if he encounters a malignant on other floors during the search for his teammates?
Especially when He Fei said that the mantis on the third floor was likely to be an invisible transparent stalk, the man with glasses became more and more ugly.
To put it more bluntly...... Zhao Ping was 10,000 unwilling in his heart.
It's a pity that even if he doesn't want to, the man with glasses still knows that he can't go away, he can't refuse He Fei's proposal, he must also go to other floors to risk like the guy in front of him who is not afraid of death.
Cause? The reason is very simple, Zhao Ping is a smart person, and the smarter a person is, the more thoroughly he can see many things, he knows very well in his heart that if he doesn't go, it will be equivalent to offending everyone in the team at the same time, unless his surname Zhao doesn't want to continue to mix in the team, otherwise he has to go.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ping took a deep breath, calmed down, and finally squeezed out a few words from his mouth while twitching the corners of his mouth: "Okay, I agree with this suggestion." ”
Seeing that Zhao Ping agreed, He Fei nodded, during which he had been observing the other party, he knew that the man with glasses would inevitably agree, and he also knew that Zhao Ping was a smart person who knew how to weigh the pros and cons, if he chose to refuse because he was afraid of taking risks, then when the team returned to the train, Zhao Ping was definitely equivalent to offending a group of people, there is no doubt that Zhao Ping knew how to analyze the pros and cons of the consequences, so the other party's answer just now was also expected by him.
He Fei's lack of action for a while does not mean that Zhao Ping will be idle together, he helped his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the man with glasses continued: "For now, if there is no accident on the first and second floors, it can be basically determined that there is no one else except you and me, in this case, then only the 3rd floor and the basement of the entire castle belong to the unexplored area, how should we arrange it?" ”
After He Fei heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then, the handsome young man's answer really made Zhao Ping stunned, and he could even be said to be surprised:
"In this case, you go to the third floor, and I'll look for it in the basement."
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Ping was stunned on the spot, and for a while, he looked at He Fei with a complicated face and did not say anything for a long time.
That's because Zhao Ping understands very well that don't look at the transparent mantis on the 3rd floor is very terrifying, but after all, the ability of the transparent mantis has been analyzed, and the way to avoid it is not difficult, that is, to move! As long as you keep moving, you'll be basically fine, the transparent scorpion can't attack moving humans, and the faster it moves, the safer it is, through the oil painting He Fei found the flaw of the transparent sting, and the transparent stalk will only attack people who move slowly or don't move.
The dodge method of the inverted female beet on the second floor is that she only needs to hide in a high place, and the dodge method of the axe mantis on the first floor is not seen by her, that is, three of the four beetles in the castle have already been dealt with.
Of course, there are no absolutes in everything, even if it is like this, there is always a certain risk, and this method is currently only known to He Fei and Zhao Ping, not to mention the other executors, and they don't even know how to dodge the mantis on each floor, only by hiding in the real survival position of this mission can it be considered completely safe, which is why He Fei will propose to act separately to find others after finding a way to live.
However, there is one exception, and that is ......
Basement!
Yes, the mantis in the basement is undoubtedly the only one among the four mantiths in the castle that does not understand its ability, and He Fei and the others do not know anything about this mantis at all, so this is also the real reason why Zhao Ping was surprised when He Fei proposed to let Zhao Ping go to the third floor and look for it in the basement by himself, he really didn't expect He Fei to take the initiative to choose to go to the basement where the situation is unknown.
What does this mean? This means that the risk faced by this young man in front of him is much greater than that of Zhao Ping!
Getting back to the point, let's not talk about how surprised the man with glasses was, anyway, He Fei obviously didn't want to waste time on this issue, and as soon as he made a decision, he immediately made a decision and said: "Since you don't speak, it's so decided, I'll go to the basement, you go to the 3rd floor." ”
So, after the discussion, the two officially dispersed and walked in different directions.
Zhao Ping went straight to the stairs in front and ran to the 3rd floor, while He Fei rushed to the opposite stairs in the opposite direction.
Inadvertently, Zhao Ping couldn't help but glance back at He Fei's back that was gradually moving away......
(In this cursed space of death and deceit, perhaps...... Maybe you He Fei is the one who can go to the end...... )
………
Basement of the castle.
At this moment, Xu Min was scared to the extreme, terrified to the extreme!
A few hours ago, when the invisible black shadow mantith left, Xu Min thought he would breathe a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, in the following time, every once in a while, the black shadow mantis would return to the hall to inspect it, and every time it made a round, some corpses would be moved, and then the corpses would be divided!
Although Xu Min couldn't see anything in this dark basement, her ears were not deaf after all, and at this moment...... There was a sound echoing in front of me, a seeping sound coming from somewhere, and it was so chilling to hear!
Bang knock! Bang knock!
Gurrah......
A corpse that had been dead for an unknown period of time was dragged out of the pile by the black shadow mantis, first placed the corpse on a dilapidated iron table in the hall, and then the black shadow mantis grabbed a hammer out of nowhere and began to smash the corpse's head, the result can be imagined, in an instant, the corpse's head was like a rotten watermelon that was smashed open under the hammer strike!
And from time to time there is a sound of explicit cracking.
Gurrah!
It wasn't until the corpse's head was completely shattered that the Black Shadow Scorpion could not stop, went to the corpse pile and dragged out another one, continuing the previous behavior, repeating the cycle.
Although Xu Min, who was hiding in the pile of corpses, could still tell what the black shadow mantis was doing through his voice.
Seeing this, some people may be puzzled, that is, what is the relationship between the Black Shadow Scorpion and Xu Min?
That's because...... Xu Min's current hiding place happens to be the place where the most corpses have piled up in the entire hall, so every time the Black Shadow Mth drags the corpse, it will be near Xu Min, and what Xu Min is most afraid of is:
God knows if the next one will be himself when the moth comes to the pile again!?
This is a frightening idea, and at the same time, it is the most realistic idea, because the next moment, Xu Min found out...... The black shadow that had just smashed a corpse with a sledgehammer moved, and once again walked towards the pile of corpses, towards the location where she was hiding!!
Da Da Da .........
………
Since he had memorized the location of the stairs downstairs, He Fei easily left the second floor, and when he tiptoed back to the hall on the first floor, he took a general look at the surroundings with the help of the dim candlelight, and listened for a moment until he was sure that the axe mantis was not nearby at the moment, and the next moment, he walked straight towards the corridor of the back hall.
Soon, passing through several rows of light stands, He Fei arrived at the cloister, and the reason why he returned here was because he had a feeling of where the basement was...... It should still be in those oil paintings in the cloister!
That's right, He Fei is not a god, he really can't find the entrance to the basement of the ancient castle, but through some analysis and reasoning, with his intuition, the young man still has a lot of hope for finding the entrance to the basement, and the reason is not difficult to explain, since he can find a lot of information about the mantis from the first three oil paintings, then he still believes that the answer to the entrance to the basement can also be found in the painting, after all, the first floor is very large, and it is not realistic to search aimlessly, not to mention that during the search process, he must always worry about the axe marrow that is always wandering on the first floor!
So, when he arrived at the corridor again, He Fei's nerves were tense, and in addition to maintaining a high level of vigilance, the whole person immediately looked around, until he was sure that there was nothing abnormal around, and then his heart was slightly relaxed, and then he ......
Reach into your pocket and pull out a cat's eye flashlight.
To die?
No, it's no wonder that He Fei didn't learn the previous lesson, but this corridor is too dark, although it can't reach the level of reaching out and not seeing five fingers, but without the help of flashlight lighting, it is absolutely impossible to see the details of the fourth oil painting, after all, the last time he observed the fourth oil painting, he just had time to glance at it, and before he could take a closer look, he was interrupted by the sudden attack of the axe stalk, so this time he had to take a closer look anyway! This is also the only reason why He Fei had to do it knowing that it was risky to turn on the flashlight in the lobby on the first floor.
Syllable.
The power is turned on, the pillar of light cuts through the darkness, and with the help of a flashlight, the fourth oil painting is clearly displayed in front of He Fei's eyes, and the observation begins.
It was exactly the same as the first time I saw it, in the field of vision, I saw that the content of the oil painting was still all dark, and it could even be said that there was nothing else in the painting except black, and as the observation continued, for a long time, He Fei's brows gradually wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and at the same time, his mind was a little difficult to understand, how could this be?
Because, there is not a trace of detail or difference in the painting.
As mentioned above, He Fei's intention is clear, that is, he wants to try to find some hints or clues from the painting through his powerful observation, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't expect that this fourth painting is completely different from the first three paintings, and no details were found, except that black is black, and nothing else!
Finally, seeing that he couldn't find a trace of difference no matter what, the college student frowned, became more and more suspicious, and subconsciously moved the flashlight pillar from the fourth painting to other places, intending to look at a few oil paintings next to it, but the flashlight pillar had just moved away from the fourth oil painting, and the next moment, He Fei suddenly noticed...... When the flashlight was removed from the surface of the painting, a white symbol appeared in the center of the painting!!
Why does the oil painting ...... in the middle after being irradiated by a flashlight
Seeing this, He Fei was taken aback, but soon he understood.
It turns out that the symbol in the center of the oil painting belongs to a special luminous pigment, which usually blends with the black in the painting, but once it is irradiated by strong light, as long as the strong light leaves, then the pigment that absorbs enough light will automatically emit white light!
And at this moment, the glow-in-the-dark paint in the center of the picture formed a symbol, which was also a very understandable symbol, He Fei instantly understood, it was an arrow symbol, an arrow pointing downward!
(Arrow pointing down, isn't it...... )
Groov!
I didn't expect the basement of the castle to be directly below this oil painting!
