Chapter 265: Time to Standstill
I admit that the cursed space is a strange place where I may not completely unravel the truth until I die, and I also admit that this space does not belong to the real world, and I also admit that every supernatural mission is counted as a closed door for the executor, but I only did not expect that one day I would face a supernatural mission that is completely and completely beyond my understanding, I don't understand, I really don't understand, this incomprehension is not a lack of understanding of the cursed space itself, but ......
Rather, I was faced with a task that had no logic from beginning to end.
Everything is so uncertain that everything that is happening around me is beyond my personal comprehension, even human comprehension.
………
Smart people often have a strong ability to understand, Zhao Ping is a smart person, so he can understand the meaning of He Fei's words in a short period of time, and in the same way, why don't the other people present understand this?
Merely......
For the people who are almost collectively stunned, understanding is understanding, but the so-called truth is too unbelievable.
This incident has never happened to anyone present so far, not even Ye Wei.
He Fei's meaning is clear, and the reason why he can think of this or dare to think about it in that direction is not without reason, the reason is that the initial watch stopped and the mobile phone failed after entering the building, and there is one thing in common between the two, that is, the time is not displayed.
Everyone's watch malfunctioned at the same time, collective failure, weird is weird, but on the surface, it's not a big deal, it's just that you can't check the time, although this sudden change has attracted He Fei's attention at the beginning, but at least it hasn't let him think about it at a deeper level, what really caused He Fei's attention is that the subsequent mobile phone time is not displayed, which is very important, as mentioned above, at the beginning the watch failed He Fei didn't think about it, just cared that the watch itself might have something wrong, It wasn't until not long ago that he found that even his mobile phone didn't display the time, and found that all the devices that could be used to check the time were out of order, and it finally caught He Fei's attention from that moment, which caused him to become more and more uneasy, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.
This uneasiness is difficult to describe, different from the fear of the unknown or the fear of the mantis, but from the fear of one's own situation.
At the beginning of the uneasiness, He Fei hoped that his guess was wrong, until he found that there was not a single clock in the entire hall on the first floor!
As mentioned above, not only is all the equipment on the executor that can be used to check the time out of order, but there doesn't even seem to be a single item in the building that can be used to check the time.
In the end, after some detailed scrutiny and detailed thinking, after combining everything and sorting it out in his mind, He Fei came to a conclusion that was even more terrifying than facing a mantis:
This building ......
No, maybe time could stand still in the entire quest world!!
Groov!
"You, you...... Do you mean we're going to be trapped in this building forever!? ”
At this moment, not only the man with glasses was shocked and difficult to add, but everyone present was stunned on the spot by this incredible reality without exception, this is not to blame the executors for such a reaction, but this matter is too unbelievable, time stands still? Is this possible? Let's not talk about whether what He Fei said is true or false, and what kind of law is violated by time standstill, if time is really in a static state, then ......
Wouldn't this supernatural mission, which was supposed to survive overnight, never be completed?
What does this mean?
It means that the night will last forever and the day will never come.
After all, even time is not running out, and you still expect to spend time until 5 o'clock in the morning?
It's no wonder that He Fei said at the beginning that no matter which path everyone chooses, whether they take the initiative or passively dodge, everyone's final fate is still death!
The reason is very simple, once the time does not pass, and the executor is restricted by the rules and cannot leave the building, so that the black shadow marrow hidden in the building will get unlimited time, because the time is infinite, the mantis can slaughter everyone unhurriedly, as the so-called hiding for a while can not hide for a lifetime, you may be lucky to dodge one or even two attacks, but based on the time stop, the executor who can never be hit by the task time limit will still be killed by the stinger.
It's a chilling reality, an incomprehensible reality, a terrible reality beyond all expectations.
Not to mention that the moths, which have always been murderous, will never let go of any living people they see, and if they take 10,000 steps back, even if the moths do not attack the executors, the time alone is enough to trap them, trap them alive, and even starve them to death, and even starve to death as a group of executors who are confined to the mansion by the rules.
Time stopped, no one didn't know what these four words meant, but it was precisely these four words that were too easy to understand, so after thinking about this, this time not only the veterans, but even Wu Wei and Zhao Xiaomei were both in a state of collapse and despair because they were too shocked.
Yao Fujiang was not much stronger, as soon as he heard that time stood still, the flat-headed young man was stunned for a moment, and instantly fell into a kind of fear and couldn't extricate himself.
"Time stopped? This, this can't be, you don't joke, how can time stop? This violates the laws of physics...... Also, since time has stopped, why can we act as usual when we are in the zone where time has stopped? Shouldn't it be frozen with time? ”
In the collapse, perhaps in order to seek personal comfort, it may be possible to try to prove that reality should not be like this, Wu Wei, who did not say a word during the period, couldn't help it at first, and immediately cried and refuted with a sad face to He Fei, who put forward his opinion.
It is undeniable that Wu Wei is indeed a newcomer and a typical rich second generation, but no matter what, his academic qualifications are there, the level of knowledge is not low, and the reasons for the argument put forward are really at a certain level, so when he heard that the senior named He Fei on the other side thought that time had stopped, out of self-comfort, Wu Wei took out the laws of physics and tried to deny this point of view, He Fei did not choose to ignore it because he was a newcomer, but just shook his head slightly, and at the same time shook his head and asked Wu Wei: "Yes, you are right, Time stopping is indeed a serious violation of the laws of physics, and it is not a serious violation in the general sense, but please don't forget that this is not the real world, it is a different space, a cursed space where even the mantis are real, and it is a task world where anything can happen, in this kind of alien space that is beyond scientific common sense...... Do you think the laws of physics apply here? ”
"As for what you say, why are we people able to go about our actions even after time has stopped? This is a better answer, and the reason is precisely that we are the executors, the executors who must carry out the task! ”
Wu Wei, who is just a newcomer and doesn't know much about the curse space, was speechless after hearing this, but Wu Wei didn't know how to answer, but it didn't mean that the others didn't have special ideas, and finally got through the initial shock, glanced at Yao Fujiang who still didn't come back to his senses beside him, and then looked at Cheng Ying, Zhao Ping and Ye Wei with complicated expressions on both sides, as the most direct one among the veterans, after touching his smooth and polished head, Peng Hu inexplicably thought of a strange question that everyone present had not even thought about He Fei and Ye Wei, As the saying goes, if you don't understand, you have to ask, and sure enough, as soon as the question came out of his mind, the bald man immediately asked He Fei and everyone present this question:
"Huh? By the way, brother, you just said that time in this mission world is in a state of stopping, right? So I wonder where this time stop is coming from? Who did it? Could it be that all this was made by the black shadow mantis? ”
Not to mention, as soon as the bald man's whim and his rather jumping question came out, not only Ye Weishen, who was analyzing whether He Fei's remarks were correct or not, frowned, but Zhao Ping and Cheng Ying, who had similar thoughts next to him, also changed their expressions, and He Fei, who had been trying to find a way out since he proposed the speculation that the time would stop, also trembled, yes, don't look at Peng Hu's analytical thinking ability has been ridiculed by Cheng Ying, But I have to admit that the sudden problem of the bald man just now has really found a breakthrough for everyone who is currently in a dead end.
The breakthrough comes from the mystery, which is as follows:
Why did time stop?
Where does the cessation of time come from?
Is it that the mission world itself is in a state of time stoppage? Or is it the only building that stands still in time?
How do I remove a time stop? Is it possible to get rid of the desperate situation caused by the stop of time by solving the source of time stopping?
Could it be that the time stopped and was really done by the Black Shadow Mth as Peng Hu said just now?
"No, it's not the Dark Shadow Muses that stop time!"
Suddenly, Ye Wei, who had been thinking in place and had not spoken for a long time, was the first to answer the bald man's question, and her tone was very positive, and she directly denied that the time stopped and was related to the black shadow mantis, as for the reason, Ye Wei's next words are the best explanation:
"I admit that the mantis often have supernatural abilities that are difficult for humans to understand, and the way of existence is also strange, having said that, please don't forget that although these supernatural abilities of the mantis are weird, at least they still stay at the level of the rules of all things in the world, and they still belong to the category of rules, but time and space are beyond the shackles of rules, especially time, which is a field that human beings can never understand and involve, I don't think a mere mth will have the ability to time, not to mention that the black shadow mantis is only a mantis in an ordinary level mission, although I don't know if there will be more terrible mantis above the stellar stalk, but I can still say with certainty that at least this supernatural mission is a real ordinary level difficulty, and the most mantis under this difficulty is the category of stalk. ”
That's right, Ye Wei is not only knowledgeable and experienced in the task, but also gave a reasonable explanation to the people who gradually became suspicious, after listening to Ye Wei's explanation, Peng Hu, Zhao Ping and He Fei subconsciously exhaled a long breath, it is obvious that Peng Hu's question just now can really scare a few people enough, after all, the three of them are all veterans, although they are not as experienced as Ye Wei, they can more or less faintly feel one thing, that is, the mantis with the ability of time can definitely not be dealt with by humans!!
If that black shadow mantith really has the ability to time, then is this thing still a mantis? It makes me shudder to think about it!
Fortunately, Ye Wei denied it and explained it in time, otherwise that fear alone would be enough to scare these three guys to death.
Ye Wei explained, and Cheng Ying, who was the most curious among the people, opened her mouth to ask without accident: "Sister Ye Wei, since you said that the black shadow mantith does not have the ability to time, and it is impossible for the black shadow mantis to stop time, then...... This ......"
Although Cheng Ying didn't finish the rest of the words, from his blank expression looking around, a clear-eyed person could still easily see what this professional killer wanted to express.
"Curse!"
Cheng Ying's question came out, but the next second He Fei and Ye Wei answered in unison at the same time, when the two of them answered, in addition to He Fei and Ye Wei could understand each other's meaning, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, Zhao Ping, Wu Wei and Zhao Xiaomei, who heard the two of them answer, also showed expressions of understanding.
Curse! It's definitely a curse, and time stop is definitely a curse, otherwise how can an ordinary mission have such a terrible phenomenon of time stopping that is completely beyond the laws of the world? That being said, since nine times out of ten it is the work of the curse, the truly incomprehensible question arises:
That is, why did the curse add time to this paranormal mission? If this point is forced to be ignored because the answer can never be found, then ...... Now that it is clear that time stops as a curse, how can the enforcer break the stop of time and return time to normal?
This kind of thinking feels a little vague, at least the newcomer will not understand it, but the veterans have some hope in their hearts after learning that the stop of time is a curse.
Why? Why do the senior have some hope when they learn that the cessation of time is the work of the all-powerful master of the curse?
The reason is simple, it comes from the curse itself.
Yes, the curse is indeed terrifying and mysterious, so that even Ye Wei, the person who has been in the curse space for the longest time, only knows a drop in the amount of the curse so far, although this is the case, but the veterans still clearly know that the curse itself will never kill the executor in the real sense, and every task and rule it releases, no matter how difficult it is, there will always be a glimmer of life hidden in it, although they don't understand what the purpose of the curse is, at least it will not be lifeless.
The reason is the same, since the terrible phenomenon of time stopping has appeared in this supernatural mission marked as an ordinary level, and it has been clarified that it is a curse, based on the curse, the law of mortal missions will never be issued, so naturally, the senior has hope in his heart, and immediately thinks that there is a way to break the time stop can be explained.
At this moment, with a blank thought, looking at the moon outside the window that has not moved since entering the mission world, scanning the dark environment around the hall, and thinking that as long as you don't break the time to stop yourself, you will die in the building sooner or later, and the irrepressible fear still inevitably sweeps over everyone's hearts.
Fortunately, fear is always short-lived, and after the panic calmed down, in the hall, some veterans began to make moves, and they used cat's eye flashlights to observe the surroundings again, the intention was obvious, if He Fei's words about time were correct, then Ye Wei's strategy of avoiding time consumption in the two roads proposed before was the first to be denied, and the only way out was to take the initiative, take the initiative to act, and then give priority to breaking the phenomenon of time stop as much as possible, how to break the time stop? He Fei has also put forward personal suggestions for this point a long time ago, such as...... First, go to the punch card machine on the 20th floor and swipe your card.
The reason doesn't need to be explained, the quest information once mentioned that you can clock in on the 20th floor of the building, and this information has nothing to do with other quest information no matter how you look at it, right? Why does the curse mention punching in the mission information when it is released? You must know that curses have never done meaningless things, and since this is the case, then He Fei's purpose of proposing to go to the 20th floor to check in first is also clear......
Since you can't figure out the connection between the punch card machine and the executor with a security identity, why don't you just follow the task prompts to go to the 20th floor to take a look, what if swiping the card means that time stops being cracked?
That's right, this is the real reason why He Fei suggested that everyone go to the 20th floor of the building at the beginning, the only regret is that this suggestion is based on the absence of any basis for analysis, to put it bluntly, it is to hit the luck, in betting, gambling on the card is a way to crack the time stop, as for what is the result after swiping the card......
Then only God and the curse know.
(I don't want to gamble, I really don't want to gamble, especially when there is no basis for analysis, but the current situation is ...... )
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Wei, who was as clueless as He Fei, still made a decision for everyone, first used a flashlight to find a staircase that led to the upper floor, and then, Ye Wei with a complicated face ordered everyone: "Go, go to the 20th floor!" ”
With that, the female captain took the lead in the direction of the stairs.
And while walking, Ye Wei faced no less entanglement and uneasiness than He Fei, or even more.
(The executor's location is not inside the building, the watch is malfunctioning, the mobile phone does not display the time, the wall screen does not have any company logo, there is currently no clock in the building that can be used to observe the time, the time itself appears to be stopped, and ...... The black shadow that hasn't been seen since the Executor entered the building! )
(What does all this mean?) Was my initial analysis wrong? Isn't this paranormal mission as simple as it seems? Or is it ...... Have we all complicated simple things? )
Da Da Da ......
Let's get back to the point, let's not talk about He Fei, who is full of thoughts, and everyone is following Ye Wei to the stairs, except for Yao Fujiang, who is an exception, the flat-headed young man is still in a sluggish state at the beginning of everyone's departure, or he has been in a state of distraction since he learned that the time has stopped, until the group rushed to the stairs, until the sound of footsteps came from his ears, Yao Fujiang was finally awakened, and suddenly came back to his senses, and saw that everyone except himself rushed to the front, and the flat-headed young man who had completely fallen behind at the end of the team was suddenly taken aback, seeing this scene, Yao Fujiang, who was afraid of being left alone, did not hesitate to pull his legs to chase after him, and chased after the large army while holding a flashlight.
However......
I don't know why, it is precisely because Yao Fujiang fell at the end of the team, as the distance continues to close, when he shines the flashlight beam on the people in front of him, inadvertently, he sees a scene, a scene that is enough to make the flat-headed young man faint on the spot, and the terrifying picture is displayed in his field of vision:
At this moment, through the light of the flashlight, I saw the people walking forward with their backs to them......
Behind everyone was a black figure in the shape of a human!!
