Chapter 260: Night Shift Security
呲呲......
The death of the middle-aged security guard and the disappearance of the black shadow are the last picture of the whole video, the video preview ends here, the screen in front of it quickly dims, until it turns black again after more than ten seconds, and as the video ends, several lines of blood-red text slowly emerge in everyone's field of vision:
Mission Name: Night Shift Security Guard.
Mission location: Hengfeng Building.
Mission Objective: The executor needs to stay in Hengfeng Mansion for one night to be considered to have completed the task.
Hint (1): During the mission execution, any executor is not allowed to leave the building, the offender will be wiped out, the task time is from 22 o'clock at night to 5 o'clock in the morning, and the time will be completed after the time arrives, and the executor will have the identity of the night guard of the building after entering the mission world.
Hint (2): This supernatural mission prohibits the executor from using all props, if you force it, the props will be neutralized, there is a punch card machine on the 20th floor of the building, and the security guard can punch in front of the punch card.
Difficulty: Normal.
Note: After completing the mission, all surviving performers will receive a 2 Survival Point reward.
………
A minute later, the red letters disappeared and the car lights came back on.
"It's over, it looks like I'm going to die in this mission...... Everyone is guessing that there is a lot of luck and less luck......"
It is often said that most people tend to make some instinctive reactions in the face of unacceptable facts, which is very correct, after browsing the task information, Yao Fujiang has instinctively said the above sentence under the subconscious prompting, and said a pessimistic remark, is this strange? No, this is not surprising, at least for He Fei and Peng Hu, who have had a lot of contact with Yao Fujiang recently, it is purely normal for the flat-headed youth to have this kind of reaction, especially He Fei, although he admits that Yao Fujiang has a sense of justice, but he knows more about the helpless reality that this kind of goods is still a coward.
So naturally, for Yao Fujiang's remarks that obviously hit their morale, the veterans present all chose to ignore them, and were attracted by the words of another person, yes, as soon as Yao Fujiang's voice fell, Cheng Ying rarely opened his mouth to say a sentence:
"A paranormal quest with banned items...... The scorpion is also very strong, and the difficulty is at the ordinary level. ”
When Cheng Ying said this, she had already recovered from the nervousness she had watched the video before, and her expression between her words was as calm as before, why did it sound like a nonsense that this professional killer said, but out of her understanding of Cheng Ying and her familiarity with her character, as soon as the other party spoke, He Fei and Ye Wei understood the meaning of her words almost at the same time.
As we all know, from the time you enter the Hell Train and the item cabinet appears, the normal level tasks that follow tend to ban the items, why do you ban the items? Why? If the newcomers in the back row may not understand, then these two people are very clear about the root cause of the frequent ban on props in ordinary tasks, and it is not complicated to explain, take Ye Wei as an example, as the most experienced tasks in the whole team, she can understand this more than anyone else, and she is also the most powerful one, in Ye Wei's previous mission experience, there has indeed been a situation where the strength of the mantis in the ordinary level tasks will occasionally surpass the stingers in the middle and upper tasks, which seems very unreasonable on the surface, but in fact, Ye Wei still thinks that this is very reasonable, The reason can be described in one sentence, that is, the strength of the mantis is not necessarily related to the difficulty of the task.
It's a bit tongue-twisting to describe and sounds like a lot of work, why? Why are some powerful grubs occasionally cursed and classified as normal, while some of the weaker ones are classified as mid-to-upper missions?
The answer is:
The level of a mission is determined by the level of the curse not by the strength of the mantis, but by how much of a threat the creature can pose to the performer!
As a simple example, take the last manor mission and the college entrance examination task as a comparison, if there are no rules and restrictions, in terms of strength and killing speed, no matter which one of the several mantis in the college entrance examination task has absolutely strong strength, it can kill a large number of people in a short period of time, and it can be said that killing people is neat and unobtrusive, but in fact? The fact is that those powerful mantis disguised as invigilators are cursed and assigned to the ordinary level mission, while the blood mantis that are very weak in the manor mission are cursed to be assigned to the middle and upper tasks, and the focus is precisely on the level of threat to the executor.
Indeed, the invigilator is higher than the blood scorpion in terms of killing speed and killing strength, but the level of threat to the executor is lower than that of the blood sting, why? The answer lies in the rule limit.
Rules, rules are an indispensable part of the task, once there are no rules to restrict the supernatural mission, it cannot be called a supernatural mission, but a naked slaughter.
The above is what Cheng Ying wants to express, not to mention that he himself is a professional killer with a memory far beyond ordinary people, although it is related to his actual occupation, it is undeniable that Cheng Ying is also good at finding patterns from past experiences, although this sounds like no beginning or end, but it is completely different in the ears of He Fei and Ye Wei.
It's a pity that He Fei and the others understand it doesn't mean that others will follow along, and sure enough, as soon as Cheng Ying's voice fell, Peng Hu, who has not yet recovered from the terrible scene in the video, retorted: "What? What is ordinary grade? What about even if it's a normal difficulty? You've also watched the video, and I still can't understand the killing method of the black shadow stalk! It's just, it's so scary! ”
After that, he may feel that such a narrative is still not enough to express his fear, and without waiting for Cheng Ying or others beside him to speak, he paused, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and the bald man already glared again and added: "The crab is so bullish that the curse actually returns him to the forbidden props!" Isn't this a clear idea of wanting us to die? ”
"No, disabling power-ups doesn't mean the difficulty of the mission increases, it's a balance of difficulty."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the bald man said this, Zhao Ping, who had been bowing his head and contemplating since watching the video preview, said a profound sentence to Peng Hu before Cheng Ying, and at the same time, just as Peng Hu was trying to comprehend the meaning of the glasses man's words, he nodded, and Ye Wei also followed up to express his personal understanding to Zhao Ping and someone in the venue:
"Most of you here must know the difference between ordinary level tasks and intermediate and advanced tasks, this point does not need me to explain more, Zhao Ping, I also understand what you mean, it is nothing more than that the prohibited props are related to the strength of the gantis, that's right, but if you feel it from the preview of the video just now...... I always felt a little weird, judging by the incomprehensible killing methods of the scorpion in the video and the internal environment of the building, the black shadow scorpion that couldn't see clearly...... Well, as Peng Hu just said, no matter how you look at it, the threat to the executor is extremely high! ”
Yes, the threat is extremely high! This is almost the opposite of the difficulty evaluation mechanism of the previous mission of the curse, doesn't it mean that the high threat of the mantis is often classified as a mid-to-upper mission? So why is it that this time the threat is extremely high, but it is still at the ordinary level?
Ye Wei's words can be described as unreserved, not only pointed out Peng Hu's fear, but also took the opportunity to directly highlight the most incomprehensible point in the hearts of most veterans after watching the video, and these incomprehensible people naturally include He Fei.
As I said before, although He Fei is good at analytical thinking, he is not an omniscient and all-powerful God after all, he is an ordinary mortal, and people will encounter problems that cannot be understood for a while, even if they are smart, at this moment, after listening to Ye Wei's analysis, He Fei thought that Ye Wei would then hand over the problem to everyone for discussion, but the other party unexpectedly did not do so, but directly said the answer after asking the question.
First, he glanced at the frowning people in the seats behind him, and then, Ye Wei's eyes narrowed slightly: "Regarding the difficulty of this mission, it is obviously ordinary level, why does it seem so dangerous?" Well, here are my personal guesses, out of the way for everyone's reference. ”
"First of all, it is certain that the upcoming ordinary level task is about to be carried out, and the stinger hidden in the building is also a high threat to the living, and on the surface, it does violate the curse's difficulty judgment on the mission level, but have you ever thought about another possibility...... What if, I mean what if, what if this mission is alive but very simple? In this way, wouldn't the difficulty of the mission once again meet the curse judgment?"
Well?
Sure enough, Ye Wei said, except for Wu Wei and Zhao Xiaomei in the last row, who were ignorant, the rest of the executors, even Yao Fujiang, instantly understood the meaning of the female captain's words, yes, Ye Wei's words were very simple and easy to understand, unless it was a newcomer or a fool who didn't understand anything, how could the people present not understand what the female captain wanted to express?
Everyone collectively froze, and then suddenly realized, He Fei, who had been thinking about the above questions not long ago to no avail, suddenly had a sense of openness, and at the same time admired Ye Wei more and more in his heart, worthy of being the most experienced person in the team, worthy of being the captain of the team, Ye Wei's thinking sensitivity is really very comparable, and in just a few minutes, he has found the answer to the question that has been impossible for everyone to figure out.
"Huh? That's right! After Ye Wei, what you said is really reasonable, the mantis is very powerful, and the ban on props also increases the difficulty, but if the way to survive is very simple, then the difficulty level of this task can be considered to be balanced again. ”
Peng Hu, who is outspoken and has a bold personality, has always been stingy with praise, and immediately slapped his thigh and got up to echo it, but unfortunately before he finished speaking, Yao Fujiang in the back row once again said a word that lowered morale:
"Even if the way to survive is simple, what is the way to survive? I don't seem to see any clues in the video preview......"
Although Yao Fujiang was cautious when he spoke, it was undeniable that what he said was indeed quite reasonable, yes, even if the way of life was simple, what about it? As long as you can't find that everything is equal to zero, this statement is like a basin of cold water poured on everyone on the spot, so that Peng Hu and others, who had just been a little relieved, couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts, Xu was very dissatisfied with Yao Fujiang's inappropriate remarks, the other party's voice fell, Peng Hu already glared at him with a dissatisfied expression, and then glanced at Cheng Ying beside him while pointing at the flat-headed young man and scolded: "I grass!" Look at what you said, you kid did it on purpose, right? Or did you learn how to splash cold water with someone too? ”
In fact, Peng Hu really misunderstood Yao Fujiang, the flat-headed young man is not pouring cold water, just now he can only be regarded as a famous, straightforward and fast-talking, young people belong to what to say, when they encounter problems that they can't understand, they are often used to asking on the spot like most of their peers, and if they don't understand, they have to ask if it's right, but he ignores the timing and place, although it is undeniable that what he said above is the truth, but the young man's truth is still equivalent to pouring a basin of cold water on the people who have just ignited hope, which instantly makes most of the people present uneasy and bumpy.
Yes, it is indeed very likely that the way to survive will be as simple as Ye Wei analyzed, but what is the point if you can't find it? After entering the mission, isn't it still a death that awaits everyone?
In addition, the upcoming mission also disables all props, and you don't even have a chance to use props to save your life when you encounter a stalk.
Where is the way to live? I haven't really seen a mission in my memory that can find a way out of the video preview alone, so how can this time be an exception? At the same time, no one will think that the curse that wishes they were wiped out sooner will be kind enough to take the initiative to reveal their way of life in the video preview, and most of the previous supernatural missions also required hard work and even went through several deaths before finding a way to survive through various clues at great cost.
Getting back to the point, seeing Peng Hu's dissatisfaction, and seeing the other party's scolding, Yao Fu, who suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, hurriedly shut up, although the flat-headed young man was interested in closing his mouth, but the impact of his words just now was irreparable, and the effect obtained was really huge, everyone was silent for a while, and their thoughts were entangled.
For example, although the way to survive seems simple, what is the truth? The fact is that before entering the task, there is no clue at all based on the video preview alone, and even Ye Wei, who first proposed that the way to survive may be relatively simple, shook her head helplessly, not only Ye Wei, but He Fei, who has been trying to find clues from the video since Ye Wei told the answer, also found nothing.
But......
After thinking about it carefully, He Fei still felt that the video just now was very strange, on the surface, there was not much difference between the video preview and the previous mission video preview, but the careful He Fei still found something special, that is, in the video preview, except for the killing process of the black shadow stalk, he actually did not get a trace of valuable clues from the video preview for the first time, and the only detail that he cared about was still nine out of ten and the rule that he had to be in a building could not be beaten.
(It's weird, why isn't the clue revealed in the slightest?) Could it be that the curse is implying that the way of life is on the mantis? Or does it imply that the living road itself has a deep connection with the building? Or is the whole video preview not very meaningful, and the purpose of the screening is just to let the performer know the location of the mission and take a look at the crab that actually can't be seen at all? )
At this moment, Ye Wei was pondering there, He Fei was pondering there, the No. 1 carriage fell silent again, as mentioned above, ignoring others, He Fei was seizing the time to think about the problem, the reason is very simple, everyone knows that once the mission is released, it will not be long before the hell train will go towards the mission destination on its own, and then stop and stop, and the executor can only be forced to get off the train and enter the mission world, during which there is only about 10 minutes, and this short 10 minutes is the last safe time limit before the executor enters the mission world.
Not only that, but sensing that the upcoming ordinary mission was a little unusual, out of some concern, He Fei was not as optimistic as before this time, and instead tried to find some clues before the hell train stopped.
But unfortunately, just as the creatures of the three-dimensional world can never understand the way of existence of the four-dimensional world, He Fei always feels that he has neglected something for this ordinary-level task that seems to be easy to survive and should be below the middle and upper levels, and this thing that he ignored is also very likely to be the key point to break the game!
At the same time, it is also the simple way of life that Ye Wei once said!
It's a pity, it's a pity he just can't find it!
(I can't find any clues from the video preview, but I can only get a general idea of how the black shadow kills people who can't see it clearly, but the black shadow mantis's killing methods are too weird to understand, even if I only analyze the mantis itself, I still can't figure out how to deal with it.) )
Thinking about it, the college student's expression became more and more complicated and tangled, and He Fei's constantly changing expression inevitably attracted the attention of the people around him, seeing that the young man's state was a little abnormal, and he didn't know what he was thinking on one side Zhao Ping couldn't help but glance at him, of course, he just glanced at him, and even turned around and swept to the back row with a gaze that was not easy to attract attention, swept towards Yao Fujiang, and swept towards the two newcomers, as for Cheng Ying, Peng Hu and Ye Wei in the front row, the three of them focused their attention on He Fei.
Seeing this, let's not talk about what Cheng Ying and Peng Hu thought, as the person who has been in contact with He Fei for the longest time and knows each other's personalities best, it seems that he has seen some thoughts in the young man's heart and seems to be aware of the purpose of the young man's thinking, observing for a while, Ye Wei couldn't help but ask Izuyan: "Have you found something?" ”
He Fei subconsciously shook his head and said, "No, but I always feel that something is not quite right......
Thundered......
However, just as He Fei finished speaking, just as the others were also thinking about how to face the mission with different ideas, the car body roared, and everyone understood what this meant, which meant that the hell train was about to stop, and the supernatural mission was about to begin.
Seeing this, and hearing the roar suddenly, Ye Wei immediately gave up asking, He Fei immediately stopped thinking, raised his head straight, and glanced at each other, and the two of them really saw the uneasiness in their respective eyes, having said that, Ye Wei, who knew that it was a blessing or a curse, could not escape the reason, still got up from the seat after stabilizing his mood a little, and immediately turned back to the back row Wu Wei and the two of them in a solemn tone:
"The mission is about to start, Wu Wei, Zhao Xiaomei, after entering the mission, the two of you will obey my orders."
Obviously, although Wu Wei and Zhao Xiaomei are both timid, but for the sake of Wu Wei's father who helped him back then, Rao is heart is uneasy, Ye Wei still does not forget to kindly remind each other.
Eventually, the time reached 8 o'clock, and as the hour passed, the roar died down, and the long-closed train door on the right side of the carriage opened automatically.
Woola!
