Chapter 318: Midnight Bell
"He Fei, do you like to sing?"
"Uh...... How to say it, this, I can't say I don't like it, but it's a pity that my singing is average, and I can't compare with other people's professional singing. ”
"So which song do you like?"
"What type do you mean?"
"What about the lyrical genre?"
"Well, I recently felt that there was a good English song called 'FlyMetotheMoon', and I can still sing it."
"I have a little impression of this song, it seems, it seems to be the first human song played on the moon when it landed on the moon, both the lyrics and the tone are quite romantic, by the way, it's an English song, are you sure you can sing it?"
"Hehe, my English grades are good, and it's no problem to sing it."
"But I prefer Emi Hayashihara's version of that song, and her cover is the best."
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to talk to you, it's almost class, let's go to the classroom quickly."
………
This is the end of this terrifying and chilling video, and after more than ten seconds, several lines of blood-red text appeared on the screen and appeared in everyone's field of vision:
Mission Name: Midnight Bell.
Location: Japan.
Objective A Selection: The performer needs to survive in the mission world for 7 days to be considered complete.
Objective B Choice: Finding a way to escape from the world before the mission time is reached is also considered to have completed the mission, and those who leave the mission world will teleport back to the Hell Train on their own.
Tip: The closer to the last day of the mission, the more frequent and intense the attack will be.
Mission Rules: This paranormal mission does not have any rules and regional restrictions for the performer.
Difficulty: Hard.
Note: After completing the mission, all surviving performers will receive 10 survival points.
………
The red text lingers on the screen for about a minute, then the screen goes dark, then turns black as before, and the car lights come back on.
But......
When the video ended and even the mission information had been over for a long time, no one in the huge carriage spoke, let alone made a sound, and even for the next period of time, everyone present was still collectively in a state of almost static sluggishness.
During the solidification period, the expression of the executor's face can be clearly and clearly seen, and the expressions of all the people are unified, no exception, there is not the slightest other look, there is only fear, and the clothes soaked in cold sweat.
Cause? Do you need to explain why?
Difficulty-level missions.
I didn't expect this upcoming mission to be difficult!
At the same time, this is also the first time that their team has encountered a difficult-level supernatural mission!
This is not because everyone is not afraid, because they will show such a rare expression of fear, everyone knows that the difficulty of the task can be divided into three levels: ordinary, medium and difficult, the difficulty is sorted from low to high, human beings have comparative thinking, although everyone has not experienced a difficult task for a long time, but the senior can still compare and guess through the previous supernatural tasks, excluding the special level tasks that only Ye Wei has experienced and others are not familiar with, everyone knows how difficult the ordinary level supernatural tasks are, What is the difficulty of the intermediate and upper level supernatural tasks, everyone has the same concept in their hearts.
That being the case, it is conceivable...... In the past, ordinary and mid-to-upper were enough to make the team fall into a situation of team annihilation, so ...... What about the difficulties? How terrifying would a difficult-level supernatural mission that was already a terrifying mid-to-upper level task be?
It's no wonder that a group of people are scared like this after browsing the mission information.
So after browsing the mission information this time, no one present spoke, Ye Wei, He Fei, Peng Hu, Cheng Ying or Zhao Ping all froze on the spot without exception, and the veterans were silent for a long time, as for Yao Fujiang and a few newcomers in the back row, they simply shuddered, don't look at these people either have little mission experience or are simply newcomers, or they don't know much about the concept of difficult-level tasks, but after all, no one is an idiot, and those who have watched the video preview at least know what to expect in the upcoming supernatural mission, that thing... … They all know and are familiar with that thing, but it is precisely because they are too familiar and too familiar that these people know how terrible that thing is, and that movie is too famous, how can a few people who have basically seen it in the real world not be afraid or afraid?
Speaking of familiarity, for veterans who have been struggling in the cursed space for a long time, in addition to fear, another question that can never be ignored will inevitably arise in their minds:
That is, this is not only a difficult supernatural mission, but also a horror movie that exists in the real world!
A classic Japanese horror movie "Midnight Bell"!
Yes, when it comes to the words "Midnight Murder Bell", I believe most people will not be unfamiliar, it is a high-energy and supernatural movie with a strong atmosphere of horror and death, everyone who has watched it is shocked by the female stalk named "Sadako" in the film, the film has been remembered for 20 years since it came out, it can be said that many people's childhood shadows, but ......
Just why? Why did the curse choose a horror movie this time? This has never happened in the memory of all veterans and even Ye Wei, and the previous missions in my memory have never been linked to horror movies, they are all unknown missions, but this time the curse directly moved a horror movie called Midnight Bell as a mission world, why is this?
Could it be ......
Putting aside how complicated the executor's thoughts were after the mission information was over, in the silence, he suddenly came back to his senses, He Fei stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh, the young man's purpose was obvious, he was using pain to stimulate himself to regain his composure, at least in his opinion, entering the mission world in this state of panic can be described as death, and he needs to calm down as soon as possible, and it is wise to regain his composure as soon as possible.
It's a pity that He Fei forcibly regained his composure, and when his eyes swept over the others, he found that most of the people around him were still in a sluggish state.
(No, this won't work!) )
Wow!
Finally, He Fei couldn't sit still, and the thoughts that popped up in his mind prompted him to stand up from his seat for the first time, as expected, the abrupt move of the college student really attracted a lot of attention, and at the same time, seeing that most of the people looked at him with suspicious eyes, the next moment, the young man sneered and said a paragraph while scanning everyone: "Everyone is afraid of a ball? Is it necessary to be so afraid? Isn't it just a difficult mission? If we keep our fear in mind, then we will definitely be wiped out after entering the mission, so ...... Put aside your fears, regain your self-confidence, do you remember the first time we carried out the first mid-to-upper mission, everyone was also scared at that time, but didn't the result go through it safely? ”
Speaking of this, without waiting for others to answer or react, after a pause, He Fei continued: "Not only that, even if this is a really difficult mission, we still have no need to be afraid, the curse will never release a mortal and unsolvable mission, have you forgotten?" ”
Not to mention, although He Fei's intention to cheer up in these two paragraphs is obvious, what he said is true, yes, what the young man said is right, even if it is a difficult task? What if it's difficult? Which of the previous supernatural missions was less difficult? Haven't you survived until now? Coupled with the fact that the curse never issues a mission that will not be solved, there is no need for everyone to be so desperate.
In the end, under the effect of He Fei's words similar to a heart booster, gradually, in the carriage, the originally panicked executors returned to calm, of course, calm to calm, calm to calm, in fact, even so, there are many questions that have not been solved Some of the seniors are still in a certain state of thinking, Ye Wei and Zhao Ping aside, as Cheng Ying, who is the most curious among the veterans, and Peng Hu, who is the most outspoken among the people, with a little puzzlement, He Fei's voice just fell, The two asked He Fei and Ye Wei, who was in a state of contemplation in the front row, their respective questions:
"Midnight Fierce Bell, could it be that the woman in white in the video just now is the famous female Sadako?"
"Is this the midnight bell? I've seen this film in the army, and I've watched several of them, and I also know a rough idea of the plot, if I really enter the world of midnight bells, as far as I know...... None of the people who watched the tape survived, and all of them died! It seems to be an unsolvable horror movie! ”
That's right, the above is what Cheng Ying and Peng Hu said almost at the same time, as Cheng Ying said, if you don't dare to be 100% sure of the identity of the woman in white just from the video preview, then the task information that appears later has directly confirmed the identity of the woman in white to the executor, Midnight Bell, anyone who mentions Midnight Bell will think of Sadako for the first time.
However, it is precisely because of the confirmation of the identity of the female scorpion, in addition to the instinctive fear of Sadako, what really makes people shudder is the curse itself, yes, the curse, who would have thought that the curse is so powerful that it can connect the world of horror movies? Although the midnight bell is terrifying, it is just a fictional horror movie in the real world after all, but I didn't expect that in the countless spaces controlled by the curse, there is actually a time and space with Sadako!
At this moment, He Fei couldn't help but think of the parallel space theory he had guessed a long time ago, that is, there are countless similar worlds, and different things will happen in each time and space, some things are false and non-existent in one world, but they are real in another world.
(A world that really exists in the plot of the Midnight Bell, the real time and space, is it possible...... My initial suspicion was true!? )
Of course, all of the above is just a guess in He Fei's mind as close to the truth as possible, even now he still doesn't dare to be 100% sure whether this guess is true, just closer to the truth, and at this moment, what He Fei really cares about is another remark from Peng Hu immediately after Cheng Ying finished speaking:
That is, there is no solution to the midnight bell.
It's a true unsolvable horror movie!
What is unsolvable? As we all know, there are countless horror movies about mantis in the real world, aside from the fake mantis films made up by mental ill fantasies in domestic horror movies, most of the movies with mantis often have cracking or confrontation methods in the end, but everything is not absolute, strictly speaking, there are still some mantis films that are unsolvable, no solution means that there is no confrontation and cracking means in the face of spirit mantis and human beings, they can only escape, they can only struggle, and they struggle to the end of the end often completely destroyed, especially in Japan, The mantis produced in this country has always been known for its unrepressive repression, among which the midnight bell is a typical representative.
Sadako, this female moth who turned into an evil spirit after death due to monstrous resentment in the movie has the ability to defy the sky, let's not talk about Sadako's specific ability, just by the death of the person who was entangled by 'her' at the end of each movie without exception, you can see how terrible the female moth is, indeed, as Peng Hu said, the bald man dared to directly conclude that the midnight murder bell was unsolvable because he had watched the movie, so how could He Fei, who had also watched the classic horror movie Midnight Murder Bell during school, not know this? Anyone who watched the tape in the film, no matter who it was, died in the end! None survived! No one, no one can survive Sadako's attack, this is a murderous evil spirit that only kills and only takes revenge on the world!
Maybe......
Perhaps this is the real reason why the curse knows that the executor is familiar with the plot of the movie, but still doesn't care about using the midnight bell as the next supernatural mission, is the ......
What if you know the plot well? What if you know anything about that crab? In fact? In fact, you still can't fight the mantis, you can't get rid of the mantis, and you still have to die in the end! Psychology says that the unknown is the most terrifying, which is true, but in some special cases, when you are in a state where you are known but completely unable to fight, this feeling is more terrifying than the unknown, or even more than the unknown.
The sense of despair was strong, and there were also a lot of worries, but after the despair, He Fei, who had changed his mind again, remembered another thing, that is, the mission information that had appeared on the screen:
Objective A Selection: The performer needs to survive in the mission world for 7 days to be considered complete.
Objective B Option: Finding a way to escape from the world before the mission time is reached is also considered to have completed the mission, and those who leave the mission world will teleport back to the Hell Train on their own.
(Huh?) What's going on? Two ways to survive, why does the curse enact two ways to complete tasks? The first one is nothing special, it's just time-consuming as usual, but in the second one, the executor himself finds a way to get out of the task world? This, is this possible? In addition, what is the meaning of the curse's deliberate release of this second choice? )
"Hey, He Fei, Ye Wei, why don't you two speak?"
Xu was surprised because his question had not been answered for a long time, or he noticed something strange from the common silence of He Fei and Ye Wei, with a question mark, this time Peng Hu took the lead in asking questions before Cheng Ying, but as soon as the bald man said this, before He Fei or Ye Wei opened their mouths, Zhao Ping, who had also been silent for a long time next to him, had already answered first on behalf of the two, turned his head, and said indifferently while staring at the bald man:
"Talk? What is there to say? Is there any need to talk about this unsolvable horror film that everyone has seen and knows the plot well? ”
After that, he may feel that this sentence brought less pressure to the bald man, and after raising his hand to support the gold wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, Zhao Ping immediately added three words at the back:
"Wait for death."
"! What do you mean by that, surnamed Zhao? Didn't you say that once we enter the mission world, we can only wait for death? Even if the female scorpion in the movie has no solution, it can ...... But doesn't mean that there will be no solution in the task, right? To know...... To know ......"
Sure enough, as soon as he heard the man with glasses say such a remark, Peng Hu, who was already panicked, suddenly exploded, and the whole person couldn't help but be even more frightened, and after both shuddered with Yao Fujiang in the back row, Peng Hu immediately retorted, but unfortunately his rebuttal was so pale and weak, in the end, under Zhao Ping's expressionless gaze, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he simply stopped talking, and turned subconsciously to turn around and look at Yao Fujiang behind him with a frightened gaze, at this moment, Both of them felt a strong chill from each other's expressions, it was not that Peng Hu didn't want to continue to argue with Zhao Ping, or that Yao Fujiang didn't want to speak, but they didn't know how to argue, they didn't know what to say, and after thinking about it, the midnight murder bell seemed to be, no matter which plot it was, there was no way out and no way to fight at the end.
Wait for death!
Do you really have to wait for death as the man with glasses said?
The answer must be no, at least for Ye Wei, as the person who has survived the longest in the whole team, but also as the team leader, in fact, after watching the video preview and mission information, in addition to being a little panicked at first, the female captain began to scramble to think about the problem after a while, and still thought about some questions in a calm state, however, unlike He Fei's first analysis of the original movie plot and mission information, Ye Wei's thinking direction was placed on the woman in white who was Sadako nine times out of ten.
As the thinking gradually deepened, unconsciously, the beautiful woman's originally slightly drooping head was gently raised.
After thinking for a long time, until Peng Hu and Yao Fujiang and even the newcomers were frightened by the glasses man's words about waiting for death, until He Fei was trying to find a breakthrough from the mission information, Cheng Ying, who was the most observant, noticed something, pursed her lips, and then patted Ye Wei on the shoulder and said in a tentative tone: "Sister Ye Wei, didn't you find something?" ”
The professional killer's innate keen observation gave her an answer to her guess, and the voice fell, Ye Wei slowly turned her head, sure enough, the captain's action inevitably attracted the attention of most people, for a while, including He Fei, whether it was a senior in the front row or a newcomer in the back row, everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Wei's face, obviously, everyone knew that the woman in front of her was not only the team captain but also a wise veteran, seeing the other party turn her head, everyone also knew that she was definitely going to say something, after all, in this uneasy atmosphere, The captain's every move is what the team members care about, and this is also the leadership plot engraved in the soul of the Chinese people, in the face of some unsolvable difficulties, people always hope that the leader can find a way and finally lead everyone out of the predicament.
This is true in the real world, and so is the cursed space.
Buzz Buzz......
However, it is a pity that those who have the above thoughts may be disappointed, Ye Wei, who is a mortal like everyone in the world, neither said words of encouragement like He Fei nor said words of cold water like Zhao Ping, at this moment, listening to the roar of the train that gradually sounded around him, he first looked down at the watch time, and then glanced up at the people behind him, and then, except for a slight frown, Ye Wei did not reveal his personal thoughts, but just commanded everyone in a serious tone:
"Time is running out, the train is about to stop, mind you, we're about to face a difficult mission, so ......"
It's a little strange, Ye Wei didn't finish the next words, but wanted to speak and stopped changing her words:
"Everybody get ready to get off."
