Chapter 580: Rules and Plans
Fortunately, the silence did not last long, and for some reason, Zhao Ping was the first to get up from the sofa, and then diverted the topic, pointing to the bedroom on the left side while saying to the exhausted Liu Dong and the five people: "It's not early, I think Mr. Liu, you should be sleepy, right?" At present, our house is the largest in the neighborhood, there are two bedrooms here, and since there are few of you, I suggest that the five of you rest in this room tonight, and the other bedroom and living room will be slept by our team, how about it? ”
………
Zhao Ping's suggestion is reasonable, after all, Liu Dong and they only have 5 people, and there are 10 people on their own side, and the distribution of two bedrooms and a living room is also very fair, so after Zhao Ping's words were finished, Liu Dong and several people also nodded and said that they had no opinion, although 5 people squeezed into one room There must be someone who wants to lay on the floor, but fortunately, there are more bedding in the house, and there is no problem in keeping out the cold, as for men and women living in the same room......
In the current situation of not knowing whether they will be killed by the mantis, who would dare to take off their clothes and sleep?
"Well, it's true, everyone is really tired all day, since that's the case, then let's go rest, Mr. Zhao is out of company, what's the matter tomorrow."
Because he was really tired for a long time, nodded his head, echoed and agreed, Liu Dong led a few people to the left bedroom, looking at the backs of a few people, Peng Hu couldn't help but be stunned, his brows were first tightened, and then he subconsciously got up as if he suddenly remembered something, subconsciously opened his mouth, and looked like he wanted to remind the 5 people who were about to enter the bedroom, and then ......
Syllable.
At this moment, without waiting to open his mouth, Zhao Ping quickly raised his hand and pressed it on the man's shoulder.
Peng Hu raised his head with a puzzled face, staring at Zhao Ping with a puzzled look, but Zhao Ping just shook his head at him with a solemn expression.
It was precisely because of the interference of the glasses man that on the other side, with a soft sound of closing the door, Liu Dong and the five people entered the bedroom one after another, even if he wanted to say anything, it was too late.
"You ......"
In the face of such a result, the bald man would not be silent, but just when he was about to ask the other party why he stopped himself from speaking and reminding, on his side, Chen Xiaoyao forcibly disrupted the steps with a smile on his face, diverted the topic, and casually picked up the coffee table and an apple: "Hey, Brother Peng, come on, eat a fruit to quench your thirst!" ”
As mentioned above, Peng Hu was stunned for a moment when Chen Daoshi interfered like this, and Zhao Ping also took the opportunity to point to the right side of Chen Xiaoyao's voice, pointing to the bedroom where He Fei and Yao Fujiang were, and then instructed the three newcomers and Qian Xueling: "It's not early, you all go back to the room to rest." ”
Seeing the man with glasses command, Fang Hai and the three of them, who were admittedly terrified, but did not dare to disobey the orders of the seniors, could only get up and leave, and finally walked into the bedroom, but Qian Xueling did not leave obediently as instructed, but pursed her lips and walked closer, came to her side, grabbed Zhao Ping's arm, and never let go!
After getting along for a long time, everyone has seen many things thoroughly, for the beautiful woman's behavior, everyone on the scene turned a blind eye to it and took it for granted, it was true, but when Qian Xueling grabbed Zhao Ping's arm, the other three still noticed that the expressionless face of the man with glasses twitched slightly...... Seeing this scene, Cheng Ying did not react, Peng Hu's expression remained unchanged, only Chen Xiaoyao covered his mouth and snickered, of course, because of countless experiences like this, the corners of Rao's mouth twitched and his face was dissatisfied, Zhao Ping still knew that once he was caught by Qian Xueling, he didn't want to break free, sure enough, after trying to break free to no avail, the man finally gave up, and sat back on the sofa as if the woman did not exist, and let the other party grab his left hand.
Some people are helpless and some are worried, some people are afraid and some people are worried, it is confirmed that the 5 plot characters and the newcomers all returned to the bedrooms on both sides, and saw that only the senior person was left in the living room, as soon as the glasses man sat down, Peng Hu had already stared at the man with incomprehensible eyes and asked sharply: "Zhao glasses, what do you mean?" Why did you stop me from reminding them of the vigil!? ”
Yes, in fact, what Peng Hu wanted to say earlier was to remind Liu Dong that he and the others must take turns to keep vigil when they sleep at night, but they were stopped by Zhao Ping, and they were interfered with by Yao Fujiang halfway.
Because of his short temper, Peng Hu in the entire team can be said to be one of the few people who can get angry at the man with glasses in person, which is not surprising to everyone, and Zhao Ping's reaction is really not much different from what he expected, in the face of questioning, the man with glasses looked indifferent, and he didn't plan to speak, but Chen Xiaoyao on the side looked at the right time to act as a peacemaker, and finally raised his eyebrows and smiled in a thoughtful tone: "Hey, Brother Peng, stop your anger, don't you come out yet?" Well, since Senior Zhao doesn't want to say it in person, let Poor Dao explain it on his behalf, it's obvious that Senior Zhao is clearly using these people. ”
What the!
As soon as Chen Xiaoyao said this, Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment, and then stood up from the sofa with a swipe as if he had reacted suddenly, and stared at Zhao Ping with angry eyes, although this move was sudden, but in fact, except for Qian Xueling, who was a little panicked at the scene, the rest were calm as usual, Cheng Ying's face was expressionless, Zhao Ping's expression was silent, and Chen Xiaoyao still kept smiling, as if he expected Peng Hu to react.
Next......
Facing the silence of everyone, or Peng Hu, who was about to continue to scold, waited to see everyone's reaction, for some reason, the man's words finally swallowed back, sat back on the sofa, and asked in a low voice while holding back his dissatisfaction: "How can you do such a thing?" Those people are living people just like us......"
Obviously, Peng Hu understood and understood the other party's intentions, although so, he still did not agree with this kind of approach, as for Zhao Ping......
After listening to what Peng Hu said, on the other side of the sofa, he glanced sideways around the living room, and confirmed that there was no one else, and the man with glasses replied slowly, and said a sentence to answer the question under the gaze of everyone: "Through the narrative of Liu Dong and several people earlier, I don't think I need to say that everyone already knows that this time the mantis is not simple, the killing methods are extremely weird, cruel to the extreme, and it is even no exaggeration to say that the killing methods of this stings and even the most bizarre one of the tasks experienced by the executor so far are completely illogical. There are almost no similar references to be found in previous supernatural missions, and when you think that the scorpion also has the ability to slaughter the residents of a town in just one night, aren't you afraid? ”
"Hmm."
Leaving aside the next paragraph of answering the question, coupled with the change in the atmosphere, a few seconds later, Cheng Ying reacted, and her vision turned to Zhao Ping: "Tell me your opinion." ”
nodded, raised his hand and held the gold wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, the man with glasses answered truthfully without hesitation, and directly said the results of his personal analysis not long ago:
"Through Liu Dong's 5 narrations earlier, we have now learned the identity of the mantis, if nothing else, its identity should be the pink skirt woman in the video, no, it may be more appropriate to call it a pink skirt female stalk, of course, this is not the point, the point is that the female mantis will deliberately let the victim see 'her' before choosing to kill a certain person, this is the first meeting between the victim and the female mantis, which I personally understand as a death notice, which is equivalent to the death notice issued by the female moth to the victim."
At this point, the vision looked around, and saw that several people were thoughtful, and continued: "The death notice is equivalent to the death sentence to the victim, and there will definitely be another meeting later, after a period of time, the second meeting I understand it as an ultimatum, until the third time comes, and once the third meeting, the victim will die instantly, disintegrate and crush itself without encountering any attack, and then turn into a pile of broken corpses, if you understand it from a general perspective, it should not be difficult to defend against the pink skirt female stalk, After all, the female mantith in the pink skirt is not like the stingers in other supernatural tasks that attack immediately when they see a living person, and the other party will not attack the prey immediately, but will give you a notice to prepare for death, but unfortunately all of the above is only a superficial phenomenon, and the horror contained in it can be understood if you think about it carefully, in fact, the killing logic of the female mantith in the pink skirt is somewhat similar to the WeChat female scorpion we encountered in Hoi An City, note that the similarity referred to here is only for the logic of killing and not the method of killing, Before the WeChat female moth kills a person, it will first send a text message to the victim, telling the victim exactly when to take his life, but Rao is so, strictly speaking, the pink skirt female scorpion and the WeChat female scorpion are completely different, there is no similarity, and it is impossible to take the task in Hoi An City as a reference. ”
Zhao Ping's analysis made the four people around him both surprised and curious, and they were surprised that they didn't expect the man with glasses to be able to draw so many guesses from the narrative of the characters in the plot, and they were curious about what the other party was going to say next.
Sure enough, after witnessing the reactions of several people, Zhao Ping didn't sell it, picked up the desktop water cup, took a sip and continued to analyze: "When the WeChat female scorpion sets the time for killing, once the time arrives, then the WeChat female scorpion must strictly abide by it and appear on time to attack the victim, but during the attack, the victim can still run away or use props to resist, however...... The female in the pink skirt is different, after the female dragon has been notified of death twice, the victim will die instantly when they meet for the third time! ”
"Remember, it was an instant death, and without warning, it was torn apart into a pile of corpses on the spot, and the victim didn't even have a fraction of a second to react! If you have to explain it in more detail, it can be understood that if someone sees a female crab, then this person is already dead! It's useless to flee anywhere, there's no point, and with instant death, there's no way to resist. ”
After the glasses man's analysis was spoken, for a while, the people present collectively shivered, as if the temperature in the living room had dropped suddenly, and it was so cold that several people's hairs stood on end, and they shivered endlessly.
In fact?
In fact, the ambient temperature has not dropped, on the contrary, the environment here is still a sultry weather, having said that, but at this moment, a few people in the room really feel the cold like falling into an ice cellar, feel the cold, and their limbs are cold, the reason is very simple, that is, ...... Just now, Zhao Ping's analysis just hit everyone's biggest worry!
As early as when Liu Dong and the others recounted the encounter, not only Zhao Ping, but also the veterans all felt an inexplicable sense of crisis from the strange sense of death of Ma Zhilong and the others, and now Zhao Ping just said everyone's biggest worry from his mouth, and directly exposed it completely without scruples.
Ignoring the reaction of others, Zhao Ping did not doubt him, did not add ink, and was about to continue talking, but at this moment, on the other side of the sofa, Cheng Ying, who had been silent for a long time, whispered before him, and directly said a word, a rather short word:
"Rules."
………
Rules, as the name implies, are provisions that must be complied with in a certain situation, which are a kind of restriction, and at the same time can prove that no one can only be confined within the framework of such a restriction, and it is difficult or impossible to violate them.
Rule ......
When Cheng Ying coldly said a word that many people understand, but it is still slightly abrupt at the moment, she was stunned, the professional killer successfully attracted the surrounding eyes to herself, her eyes were complex, her demeanor was different, and she was suddenly puzzled, as for Cheng Ying, because she didn't like to be the focus of attention, she didn't wait for others to ask, she took the initiative to explain and explained by herself: "Personal guess is just a word that I subconsciously thought of after listening to Zhao Ping's analysis, and it just belongs to thinking with feelings." ”
Cheng Ying explained truthfully, but it didn't mean that everyone present would be indifferent, maybe something was thought of from the word 'rules', Zhao Ping frowned slightly, and fell into contemplation.
Half a minute later, the man with glasses looked at Cheng Ying and said: "No, I don't think the word 'rules' is meaningless, psychology has a saying, when a person encounters some problems, his first subconscious is often the most real and credible, and it is also the most realistic instinctive cognition. ”
"Oh? Let's talk about it! ”
Hearing what the other party said, putting aside Cheng Ying for the time being, Peng Hu was instantly interested, and hurriedly stretched his neck to urge.
Although Zhao Ping nodded, he did not immediately say his personal conjecture, but silently turned his head under the incomprehensible gazes of Peng Hu, Cheng Ying, and Qian Xueling, inexplicably shifted his vision, and finally looked straight at someone, at a certain ruffian young man in a yellow coat.
"Huh? Senior Zhao, what do you think I'm doing? Do I have flowers on my face? ”
Ignoring the other party's nonsense, staring at it for a while, Zhao Ping asked Chen Xiaoyao a question: "What if...... The female moth entered the house, is there a way for you to perceive or find the other person's traces? ”
When the question came out, Chen Xiaoyao was stunned, his face was puzzled, and a question mark appeared above his head.
Yes, he really didn't expect the man with glasses to ask such a question inexplicably, and this question is indeed not related to the topic just now, of course, doubts are doubts, puzzles are puzzles, and in the face of the glasses man's inquiry, the young man still told the truth after a moment of silence, groaned slightly, and finally touched his chin and replied: "Well, how to say it, for me personally, there are many answers to this question, under normal circumstances, I can use Sahemi or paste the talisman to perceive, as long as I am not too far away from the position of the sticker, In this way, I can indeed perceive spirits, but due to the limited scope of my Taoism, the specific range of perception is not large, and a house is already considered the limit, and it is ......"
After a pause, he glanced at everyone thoughtfully, and finally shrugged his shoulders and added: "And the stronger the strength, the more difficult it is for me to perceive, for a simple example, I can easily perceive the soul, and I can find the ordinary lonely soul charm with the Dao Gate magic weapon, but when it comes to the level of the dragon, it is a little difficult and uncertain, and I don't even dare to guarantee that I will be able to perceive the traces of some particularly strong dragons, as for the ...... Having said that, you should be able to understand what I mean. ”
After Chen Xiaoyao's remarks, which were both personal ability evaluation and answer to Zhao Ping, somehow, he seemed to hear a little bit of Ni Duan, Cheng Ying looked curious, and asked first: "What do you mean by saying that Li Yan is going up?" Could it be that there are stronger scorpions above the stalks? ”
As soon as these words came out, Peng Hu, Zhao Ping and Qian Xueling also raised their heads as if they thought of something, and they all looked at this Maoshan Taoist priest who pretended to be a god all day long.
Sure enough, seeing that everyone present was collectively staring at him, unlike Cheng Ying, Daoist Chen, who liked to perform in front of people, enjoyed being watched by everyone very much, and there was no need to continue to ask questions at all, he brushed the hair on his forehead, grinned, and was complacent, and the young man immediately showed off his Taoist knowledge.
"Hehe, as the saying goes, people are divided into three, six, nine, and so on, so why not? The difference is that the 369 rank of a person is only divided by status, while the 369 rank of a person is divided by strength. ”
Throwing down a preface, Chen Xiaoyao continued: "I have said many times in the past, although there are mantis in the world, they are basically dominated by souls that can be seen everywhere and a small number of lonely souls, even the mantis are very rare, as for the stingers, they are even more rare to a handful, so in reality, in most cases, the stingers that can be the disaster are at the top, after all, the strength of the stings is there, and everyone knows that the strength of the stings is against the sky, and this thing is simpler than killing chickens, but if you have to forcibly generalize, if you insist on seeking truth from facts, Strictly speaking, there is still a more powerful scorpion above the stalk, and that is...... Earthbinders! ”
"Earthbound Spirits!"
As soon as Chen Xiaoyao's voice fell, he still didn't know why, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly changed, became weird, and became suspicious, not only that, after hearing this, Peng Hu, Cheng Ying, and Qian Xueling all involuntarily repeated the three words 'Earth Binding Spirit', at the same time, a terrible memory that made several people unforgettable also instantly surfaced in their minds and penetrated into the bone marrow, only Chen Xiaoyao did not doubt him, just took the reactions of a few people as a surprise, he still narrated endlessly, however, just when he was going to continue to explain......
Zhao Ping waved his hand to stop it, interrupted the young man's speech, and immediately said to several people with a solemn expression: "Don't mention this first, I just came up with a tentative method, but I need everyone's recognition and cooperation." ”
was disturbed by the glasses man like this, and suddenly came back to his senses, everyone who knew that they were now in danger knew where the primary focus should be at present, and Zhao Ping's words did make them forget about the earlier topic and looked at each other one after another, as if they didn't quite understand what the other party meant, touched the stubble on their chins, raised their eyebrows and asked, "Method?" What's the solution? ”
Zhao Ping remained silent, still answering the question as he did at the beginning, and his words were unknown: "Let's not mention the strange ability of the female mantis in the pink skirt, there is a detail that I don't know if you have noticed, that is, two of Liu Dong's gang have died at present." ”
Slightly stunned, Chen Xiaoyao really lived up to his expectations and instantly looked puzzled, and then took the place of everyone to answer in a puzzled tone: "Liu Dong did have two dead over there, one is called Ma Zhilong and the other is called Liu Chuanfa, but what does this mean?" Isn't it normal for a moth to kill? ”
It seemed that he had expected the other party to answer this way, Zhao Ping shook his head and continued to remind: "The moth did kill people, but the two people who died were both from Liu Dong's team. ”
As the saying goes, the words are not exhausted, and the words are half known, and none of the people present are stupid, finally, as the man with glasses mentioned it again, Cheng Ying was the first to understand, her eyes narrowed slightly, she stared up, and asked in a low voice while showing her eyes: "Mo Fei, what do you ......mean?"
"Well, although the female mantis in the pink skirt is as killing as other mantises, but through my personal observation and your rule reminder just now, I suddenly discovered one thing, that is, the people who are currently dead seem to be people from Liu Dong's side, so I guess that this mantis killing people is not necessarily a random killing or catching someone to kill whom, it is very likely to be killed according to a certain rule or even a certain order!"
"If the judgment is correct, it is estimated that it will be our group's turn after killing Liu Dong's group, of course, what I just mentioned is only the order of the team, as for whether the personnel will also be killed in order...... Then I can't guarantee it. ”
Rules, order!
No one expected that after a conversation, Zhao Ping not only analyzed a lot, but finally came up with an astonishing judgment!
Similar lightning swept through the mind, like an electric current swept the whole body, after hearing this, in the living room, everyone was collectively shocked, and there seemed to be a trace of truth after careful thinking, if the guess is correct, the next thing can be expected, let's not talk about anything else, at least before Liu Dong 5 people die, the executor's side should be safer, but after thinking about it, everyone still hesitates, still has doubts, and doubts that they did not get a positive answer from the other party's words, after all, even Zhao Ping himself said that the above remarks are just his personal speculation.
The atmosphere shifts again, and thoughts shift.
At this moment, watching the expressions of everyone in front of him change, Zhao Ping chose to be silent and did not continue to speak, it seems to be so, but Peng Hu, who has been figuring out the other party's intentions, obviously does not plan to accompany the other party to silence it, I don't know if it is something that I thought of during the period, gradually, the bald expression gradually became gloomy, raised his head slightly, and finally said half a sentence to Zhao Ping in a tentative tone, half an unfinished but full of suspicious bumpy words: "Do you want to ......?"
Staring at Peng Hu's face, Zhao Ping lifted his glasses, and immediately replied in a flat tone, replying with a cold answer in the heart of anyone who heard:
"At present, it is only speculation, and there is not enough evidence, so I need to observe in the near future, carefully observe Liu Dong's gang, observe their signs before death, and ...... Order of Death! ”
