The eighth day of the mission break, night.

In the bedroom, the ticket trembled suddenly, disturbing Ye Wei, who was about to rest, subconsciously took out the ticket, and looked closely, and saw a large text message on the front of the ticket, a message notice that had never been seen before.

Notice: Tomorrow afternoon at 14:30 the hell train will stop at the next station, when there will be a newcomer executor boarding, please team leader to be ready to greet the matter, the specific rules are as follows......

………

Early in the morning of the ninth day of the mission rest period, in Peng Hu's room.

The bald man has now gotten up, first habitually put the black vest on his body, and after simply putting it on, he came to the scrubbing room, touched the more and more dense stubble in the mirror, hesitated for a while, and picked up the razor.

Unexpectedly, I just applied shaving cream to my face......

Knock knock!

There was a series of knocks on the door outside the living room.

"! This shave is not allowed to be shaved! ”

Peng Hu, who was abruptly disturbed, was extremely dissatisfied, muttered casually, and saw that the knocking on the door did not stop, so he had no choice but to pick up a towel to dry his face, and then strode to the door of the living room, yes, there is no need to ask who is outside the door, anyway, there are only three people on the whole train at present, don't think about it, it is not He Fei or Ye Wei who knocks on the door, and according to Peng Hu's personal guess, He Fei is the most likely, after all, with Ye Wei's rather cold goddess character, how could people come to him?

However, there are no absolutes in everything, and when I opened the door casually, I saw that He Fei outside the door was not the expected He Fei, and the first thing that caught my eye was a delicate face.

Ye Wei!?

As usual, except for the supernatural mission, Ye Wei, who has always been very good at dressing up the rest of the time, really changed her outfit again today, this time for a lady dressed in a rather gothic style, a black coat with a woman's already perfect body can undoubtedly kill most female stars in an instant, of course, although the beauty is eye-catching, but the bald man who knows Ye Wei's ability will not think much about it, but his expression was stunned when he found out that the person outside the door was Ye Wei, the reason is very simple, because he really didn't expect the other party to come to him, or ......

Why did you come to him?

is the so-called Three Treasures Hall for nothing, if He Fei, who has a good relationship with him, came to him to chat, then why did Ye Wei, who usually doesn't pay much attention to people, come to him? Chatting? How can it be? Thinking of this, with suspicion, the bald man took the lead in asking, "Huh? Ye Wei? You're here ......."

"I'm going to give you a job as the captain now, about welcoming the newcomers."

"I thought about it for a long time last night, although it is not impossible for He Fei to do this, but I personally think that it may be more appropriate for you to do this work, I received a notice from the curse last night, and this is how it happened......"

………

Boom, boom!

With a shrill roar and the shaking of the rails, in a pitch black environment, a subway train is running at high speed along the tracks, with no driver or signage, and no one knows where it is headed......

Time, 14:07 p.m., Hell Train Car 3.

After lunch and a short nap, He Fei pushed open the door and came to the carriage, first glanced at the doors on both sides, hesitated for a moment, the young man walked to one of the doors and stretched out his hand to knock, it was Peng Hu's room, it was obvious that he was idle and planned to ask the other party if he had exchanged props, after all, he had already found that the bald man in the prop cabinet showed interest in him far beyond others.

Of course, the above is just a reason, the point is to come out to breathe, although He Fei also has a little otaku potential, but staying in a personal room for several days in a row still makes the young man a little bored.

But it's very strange, as the knock on the door continues, it takes about a minute to knock, but there is no response in the door, seeing this, He Fei was a little surprised, after all, with Peng Hu's big personality, he will definitely not come to open the door when he finds that someone knocks on the door, unless the other party has something or is not in the room.

(Huh?) Isn't it really in the room? ）

After making sure that there was no one in the room, the young man rushed to the No. 1 carriage as soon as possible, he thought that the bald man would run to the prop cabinet every day like he did earlier, staring and drooling, but after looking for it, he found that the No. 1 and No. 2 carriages had no other party at all, seeing this, in addition to becoming more and more suspicious in his heart, He Fei subconsciously turned around and entered the No. 4 carriage, until he arrived here and entered the carriage, and the missing burly figure appeared in the field of vision.

At this moment, I saw Peng Hu, who was still wearing a black vest, sitting in the guest chair with his legs cocked and spitting out the clouds, the whole carriage was full of smoke, and the smell was a little strong. As soon as he saw He Fei appear, the bald man first grinned, raised his hand and greeted: "Yo, you kid is not staying in his room, why are you here?" Come, sit. ”

"Brother Peng, I should have asked you this, right? Why don't you stay in your room and run to car 4? Is it just for a puff? You can't smoke it in your own room? ”

As soon as the bald man said this, in addition to walking to the opposite side and sitting down, He Fei, who had been familiar with the other party for a long time, also immediately refuted.

The bald man didn't care about the young man's ridicule, but took out a box of cigarettes and handed it to He Fei.

"Here, brother, smoke one."

Xu was handed a cigarette for the first time, or he had never smoked it before, and when he saw the cigarette handed in front of him, He Fei shook his head awkwardly and said, "That, Brother Peng, I'm not very good at ......"

"What? No? ”

As soon as he heard the other party say that he didn't smoke, he touched his beard, and the bald man asked a question: "Don't smoke?" Will you drink alcohol? ”

"Well, it won't be ......"

"Hahaha!"

As soon as He Fei's answer ended, Peng Hu had already laughed, and he still didn't wait for the young man's embarrassment to end, and then turned around and said a big truth: "Brother, you must know that this man often has two hobbies, one is smoking and the other is drinking, at least one of them is right, drinking aside, this cigarette has to be smoked, to tell you the truth, although smoking is harmful to health, but when the spirit is depressed, this thing can effectively relieve stress, come and come, smoke one, it feels very cool, try it." ”

In the end, forced by Peng Hu's repeated insistence, and it sounded indeed a little fascinating, in desperation, He Fei still took out one from the cigarette case and put it in his mouth, took the lighter and lit it, and then took a deep breath like the other party......

In then ......

"Ahem! Ahem! it! This smoke is really choking, cough cough cough ......"

"Hehe, don't worry, once raw and twice cooked, you can learn it by smoking it a few more times!"

As a result, there was no accident, He Fei, who was smoking for the first time, coughed violently, Peng Hu patted the young man's shoulder with satisfaction, and before he could continue to speak, He Fei waved his hand, Xu is period thought of something to get his thoughts back on track, took a long breath, and the young man asked: "By the way, Brother Peng, what are you doing here?" ”

"What else can you do? Welcome the newcomer, the train is about to stop at the station, and there will be newcomers boarding the train in a while, this is a task that Ye Wei arranged for me in the morning, and I am very suitable for this job. ”

Peng Hu, who has a straightforward personality, immediately told the reason truthfully, but when he heard the words 'welcome newcomer', He Fei couldn't help but be stunned, yes, of course he would not be surprised that the newcomer entered the cursed space, after all, he and Peng Hu both came here as newcomers before, and in his personal impression, newcomers will only appear at the beginning of the supernatural mission, but, but this next mission has not started yet? How can there be new people before the mission starts? And what does it mean to welcome the newlyweds?

In fact, He Fei's doubts are not Peng Hu's doubts? Or as early as a few hours ago, when he learned about this from Ye Wei's mouth, his reaction was the same as He Fei in front of him, and it wasn't until the other party explained the matter clearly that the bald man suddenly realized.

Sure enough, seeing He Fei's puzzled expression, Peng Hu explained everything he knew and said.

Peng Hu's explanation is very brief and easy to understand, after the original self-defeating executor was transferred from the subway station to the hell train, not only the environment changed, but even the way newcomers entered together, in the past, the newcomers entered at the beginning of the mission, but in the hell train, it became that the newcomers would enter before the release of the supernatural mission, so that Ye Wei, as the captain, could not ignore this matter anyway, and someone in the team must be responsible for welcoming and guiding the newcomers to board the train.

The matter is not complicated, the situation is just as simple, as soon as Peng Hu said it, He Fei already understood it, not only that, because he has always been good at analysis, through understanding this matter, when he pondered, He Fei couldn't help but think of a certain speculation earlier, that is, the question he had thought about when he first entered the train.

That is, does the appearance of supernatural items mean that the difficulty of the mission will increase in the future!?

At first, He Fei was just suspicious, but until today, I heard that even the way newcomers enter has changed, and gradually, the college students became more and more affirmative, affirmed the curse intent, and affirmed that their personal speculation was very likely to become a reality!

The logic is simple:

If the difficulty of the task really increases, it will be dangerous for newcomers who don't know anything to enter at the beginning of the mission, not to mention the mortality caused by ignorance, so in order to increase the survival rate of newcomers and balance the difficulty of the mission, let newcomers enter the train in advance before entering the mission and accept the explanation and guidance of the veteran, this arrangement will inevitably be much stronger.

Perhaps this is the actual intent of the curse.

As for why Ye Wei had to choose Peng Hu to be in charge of welcoming newcomers......

With suspicion, he raised his head again, and when he saw the vicious face on the other side, which did not look like a good person, and the burly body that was quite oppressive, for a while, the young man's originally solemn and contemplative face gradually showed a smile, and the bald man was puzzled.

He Fei not only smiled, but then nodded at Peng Hu with a smile under Peng Hu's incomprehensible gaze and said, "Brother Peng, I finally understand why Sister Ye Wei had to let you come here to meet the work in the morning, indeed, you are indeed more suitable than me to do this." ”

"! You kid have something to say, huh? ”

Peng Hu is not stupid, in fact, when He Fei said this to him, he basically guessed the meaning of his words, to be honest, Peng Hu didn't care about his appearance, after all, what could his parents do if he gave him? What's more, he has a tough guy style, and he has never taken this matter to heart, in response to the ridicule of the youth, the bald man was about to refute, but He Fei had already touched his head and changed the topic and said: "Huh? By the way, I almost forgot, Brother Peng, it seems that the word 'mantis tide' was mentioned in the rookie boarding rules you just mentioned, what is the mantis tide? ”

"You ask me? Who am I going to ask? Anyway, when Ye Wei arranged the task for me in the morning, she only mentioned it slightly, and didn't explain it, just reminded me to let the newcomer board the bus within 15 minutes as soon as possible, but in my personal opinion, what kind of 'mantis tide' should not be a good thing. ”

Seeing that the bald man shook his head and said that he didn't know, He Fei didn't ask too much, but continued to think about the deep intention of the curse.

Coincidentally, just when the two of them were thinking about each other, they found that the car lights outside the window suddenly turned on, and the ground under their feet gradually began to tremble when the lights came on.

Anyone who is familiar with the subway knows that the subway train often only starts and stops when the tremor is the most powerful, at this moment, seeing the lights around the car body lit up, and seeing the ground under the feet begin to shake, without anyone reminding, the two people in the carriage have both realized that the car body is slowing down, and the train is about to stop!

Thundered......

The result was exactly the same as expected, the two were silent, as the subway roared louder and louder and things could gradually be seen outside the window, the two not only confirmed the conjecture in their hearts, but looked down at their watches, and saw that the time had also come to 14:27, and there were still 3 minutes left before the train stopped at 14:30 that Ye Wei said.

………

Boom, boom......

The lights cut through the darkness, the vision gradually became clearer, when the time reached half a point, the roar disappeared, the vibration disappeared, the train stopped, and when I looked through the window, I found that the external environment was really familiar, no, it should not be described as familiar, and it may be more appropriate to use impress.

The reason is that outside the car is nowhere else, it is a subway platform!

At this moment, through the window, with the help of the lights, you can see that the outside world is a subway station platform scene, although the environment is dark, but under the illumination of the lights, you can still see that this place is a standard waiting platform, and the appearance is basically the same as when they first boarded the train a few days ago.

This is supposed to be another subway platform, and the Hell Train is once again parked next to the platform.

Woola!

At the same time, just as He Fei and the others were observing the window, with a sudden screeching sound, the cabin door of the carriage automatically opened.

(Sure enough, sure enough, the train stopped, the doors opened, exactly as the three of us had boarded, and since that was the case, then...... ）

"He Fei, just watch here, I'll do the rest of the work."

To get back to the point, as the cabin door opened, Peng Hu, who had already learned the details from Ye Wei, did not hesitate, and when the door opened, he got up and left his seat, and after saying a word to the young man, he strode out of the car door, He Fei nodded knowingly, and turned to lie down by the window and look at the outside world.

Walking out of the train and arriving at the door, looking around, it is indeed an empty platform in front of him, although the darkness around covers the field of vision, but Peng Hu can still be sure that the scene in his eyes is basically the same as when the three people boarded the train before, in the field of vision, the platform is empty, and it is pitch black in the distance, except for a certain range around the train that can barely see, the rest can not see anything.

Fortunately, the doubts did not last long, and after less than half a minute, a series of chaotic footsteps sounded, and as the footsteps got closer and closer, in a short time, several men and women with panicked expressions had already passed through the darkness to the platform.

Obviously, nine times out of ten, these people are the newcomers to the train this time, and they were selected by the curse, and then they were swept into the closed subway station by a hurricane, so there is no possibility of leaving, and the reason why these people rushed to the platform must be attracted by the roar and lights.

Peng Hu saw everything clearly, He Fei saw everything clearly, and at the same time, several men and women who were getting closer and closer had also arrived dozens of meters away from the train, and they were now staring ahead with vigilant eyes, staring at the train, along with the strange bald man next to the car who didn't look like a good person.

Similarly, the newcomers saw Peng Hu, why didn't Peng Hu see the newcomers?

At this moment, with the help of the car body lights, I saw a total of 5 people on the other side, four men and one woman.

Among them, there is a middle-aged man in a blue coat, the man looks ordinary, looks about 40 years old, is currently staring at the train with a worried face, next to him are two young people, both of them are dressed differently, they don't look very old, at most in their early twenties, similar to the panicked and nervous middle-aged people, in addition to the same anxiety and fear, Xu is worried about not being able to get out of the subway station, don't look at the train to attract the attention of several people, but in fact, the two still look down at the mobile phone in their hands from time to time, and seem to be confused and troubled by the disappearance of the signal.

Needless to say, the two must have tried to ask for help earlier, trying to ask for help from the outside world by phone, after all, the subway station was completely closed, and they could only use their mobile phones to ask for help in desperation, but unfortunately this is meaningless, curse the space to block all communication signals, and it is pure dreaming to get through the mobile phone here, so to speak, the result is true, seeing that the mobile phone has no signal from beginning to end, the two of them are more and more panicked.

Putting aside how the two young people did useless work for the time being, their eyes continued to shift, and they saw that there was still the only woman standing on the right side, the woman was not very old, and she was also in her early twenties from the appearance alone, and the two young people on the right were about the same age, at most a few years older, maybe they were frightened by the strange environment of the subway station, although they had arrived at the platform, the woman still had a panicked expression, and she was also trembling while staring at the sudden approaching train.

Of course, not everyone behaved so badly, at least one of the 5 people still had a man who reacted calmly after the initial panic, this person was not only the first of all to look at the train, but also the first person to find Peng Hu, and it is worth mentioning that this person has a good appearance, and I believe that the first impression of most people with a man's appearance will never be bad, yes, I saw that this person looked about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a neat suit and also having a very friendly Sven face, The bridge of the nose wears a pair of gold-wire glasses, and the whole gives people a sense of politeness.

Especially when he found that there was a strange bald man standing next to the train, although the man was a little surprised, he quickly calmed down again, and his eyes immediately changed from observing the train to observing the bald man.

Perhaps out of personal habit, while observing Peng Hu, in silence, the man subconsciously reached out to support the gold-wire glasses on the bridge of his nose......
