Chapter 263: Two Choices
After getting along with each other for a long time, in addition to their personalities, their acting styles will also understand each other, and after almost observing the hall, Peng Hu took the initiative to run to a wall and press the power switch.
Smack.
As expected, although the power switch was pressed, no matter how many times Peng Hu turned over and pressed the hall, it was still pitch black, it was obvious that the main power supply was turned off, and unless the power room that controlled the power of the entire building could be found, everyone could only spend this all-night supernatural mission in the dark.
Logically speaking, there is no difference between darkness and light, everyone who is an executor knows that when danger comes, it can be day and night, and when the mantis attack humans, they often do not distinguish between the environment, the truth is that this is true, but the executor is a human after all, and the human eyes are not only the most affected by the light, but also do not have the night vision ability of felines.
In this way, there is no difference in logic between the darkness with unclear vision and the light with clear vision, and with the help of a cat's eye flashlight, you can also see in the dark, but according to psychology, human rejection of darkness is instinctive, and long-term exposure to a strange dark environment often brings people a strong sense of depression and fear.
After all, human beings are creatures that tend to the light, which is a necessity and an instinct.
So after confirming that Peng Hu turned on the power switch was invalid, Cheng Ying was the first to search around the hall, the intention was obvious, he wanted to find the power room as soon as possible to provide lighting power for the building, but the strange thing is that although the hall is spacious, there are many offices or rooms marked with various purposes on the nearby doors, but unfortunately there is no room related to electricity from beginning to end.
"Cheng Ying, wait, don't act rashly yet!"
Seeing that there was no discovery on the first floor, Cheng Ying, who had no results in searching, inevitably thought that the power room was likely to be on other floors, and was about to leave for it, but was immediately stopped by He Fei, who was aware of his intentions from behind.
When Cheng Ying was called, He Fei and Ye Wei, who had a certain idea in their minds almost at the same time, also took out their mobile phones from their pockets one after the other.
Looking at the screen, I saw that the signal grid was empty, and the communication signal was inexplicably blocked, for this point, both of them had expected this, after all, the mobile phone was often interfered with by the supernatural power and lost the ability to communicate, and found that the signal disappeared, the two sides did not react much, just frowned slightly, and the real purpose of the two took out the mobile phone was actually to confirm the time.
Yes, the executor's watch has a collective failure for no reason, since it is impossible to confirm the time through the watch, it is better to use the mobile phone to confirm the time.
The reason is such a truth, and the two people who thought of this almost at the same time did do so, but when the two turned their gazes from the signal grid to the center of the screen, next, whether it was He Fei or Ye Wei, both of them were stunned.
That's because...... They couldn't see the time.
In my field of vision, the Arabic numerals that used to mark time are now gone!
(How, how could this be!?) )
At the same time as the heart suddenly tightened, gradually, an incomprehensible and indescribable sense of panic swept through the two of them, and the two subconsciously glanced at each other, and both sides really saw a trace of panic in each other's expressions and eyes!
The watch stops and the phone does not display the time.
Why?
Why is it that all the devices that can be used to check the time are out of order?
What the hell is going on? And what does this mean?
For a while, doubts, puzzles, doubts and other thoughts shrouded the minds of the two, although both of them are smart people, their analytical skills are far beyond ordinary people, but unfortunately in this situation of no reason and without any clue information, even the two of them can not find the answer from this strange phenomenon.
At this moment, in this wide and dark and silent hall on the first floor, the executors who had completed the search did not take the next step, but gathered in a corner of the hall to discuss something, of course, although they also knew that there could be no one else in the building except for them, but during the conversation, everyone still subconsciously lowered their voices as low as possible, as if they were afraid that the sound would be too loud and attract something.
Not only that, but knowing that no one is allowed to leave the building until the mission is over, the group of executors who are currently confined to the interior of the building by the mission rules can be described as really nervous, regardless of whether you are a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the mission for the first time, the root of which is the natural fear of human beings.
Getting back to the point, the limited light brought by the cat's eye flashlight could not dispel Ye Wei's inner uneasiness, and glanced at the team members with different expressions beside her, this time Ye Wei neither said anything to appease the newcomer nor say a word of nonsense, pointed to the smartphone in her hand, and immediately went straight to the topic and said to everyone: "The building has entered, and the mission has officially begun, but because the watch and mobile phone cannot display the time, we can't know the exact time now, so I can only use estimation to guess that the current time should be around midnight." ”
Ye Wei's estimated time is inseparable from most people's estimates, for this, the people present have no other doubts except that they still don't understand that the watch and mobile phone don't display the time for no reason, at the same time, seeing that everyone was silent, after a pause, Ye Wei changed her words and asked a very selective question:
"However, even so, I still don't think it's a good idea for everyone to stay in the hall doing nothing, I'm never going to force anyone, so I'm going to give you two options."
"First, find the power room, restore power to the building, and then look for clues and try to solve this paranormal mission in a well-lit environment."
"Second, don't start the power supply of the building, just find a safe place to hide, because this task is a simple survival type mission, and the space in the building is wide, logically speaking, the executor can also use the dodge method to get to the time limit of the mission."
Obviously, based on the rich experience of the task, after a little thought, Ye Wei directly said the essence of this ordinary supernatural task, and his narrative also showed everyone two paths that can be taken, in fact, after a little pondering, this is indeed the truth, as mentioned above, this is a typical survival mission, and there is no mandatory requirement that the executor must solve the supernatural event in the task rules, so there are only two ways in front of the executor, either take the initiative, Get safe by taking care of the humans before the moths hiding in the building attack them, or you can take advantage of the large space inside the building to dodge as much as possible and eventually stick to the mission deadline.
The former is undoubtedly looking for a way out, and it is also a very dangerous risky behavior, after all, everyone doesn't know much about the black shadow-like mantis, and no one knows what the result of actively looking for clues will be, and whether there will be danger in the process, plus this task prohibits props, that is to say, once you encounter a moth in the building, the executor who can't use props to save his life has a chance of surviving.
The latter is much more stable, and there is a great hope that the mantis will not be found by hiding in the spacious building in various ways, but then again, because everyone doesn't know about the black shadow mantis, once they choose to dodge and choose to delay time, then who dares to guarantee that the mantis will have the perception ability to easily find them? Once found, the ending goes without saying.
It's a dilemma!
At least for veterans who have been through multiple paranormal missions, and the pros and cons of the two options are also well understood.
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Wei's words came out, in addition to Wu Wei and Zhao Xiaomei, who wanted to hide as soon as possible in their hearts, Peng Hu, Cheng Ying, Zhao Ping and even Yao Fujiang all showed various reactions on the spot, some people lowered their heads and pondered, some people scratched their ears and cheeks, and some people showed entanglement, and everyone was relatively silent for a while, until someone turned their bare head and looked left and right, until they swallowed their saliva, Peng Hu couldn't sit still, and his movements were even more incomparable, he gritted his teeth, and immediately patted his thigh and took the lead in making a personal choice:
"What the hell! Afraid of a bird? Is dead or alive hanging upwards, although Lao Tzu is afraid of moths, Lao Tzu also does not have the habit of waiting for death, I choose to take the initiative! ”
It is worthy of Peng Hu, who is not only the first person to make a choice among all the people present, but also takes the initiative with a high risk factor in choosing the direction.
Peng Hu was very open-minded and took the lead in expressing his position, but unfortunately after he made a decision while being ruthless, no one made a statement, not even a speaker, seeing this, the bald man couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, in addition to embarrassment, there were some surprises, surprised why others were silent, after a long time, seeing that no one was silent, perhaps to cover up this embarrassment, smiled, Peng Hu suddenly reached out and patted Yao Fujiang on the shoulder opposite while continuing to everyone: "Okay, since everyone doesn't say anything, Then I will go upstairs with Brother Yao, who also chose to take the initiative, to find the power room, and restore the power of the building first. ”
What the!!!
As soon as Peng Hu said this, Yao Fujiang was suddenly shocked, he never thought that the bald man would forcibly drag him into the water, especially after learning that the other party planned to drag him upstairs together, as expected, Yao Fujiang, who had no courage to break away from the large army, was scared half to death on the spot, and he wailed with a frightened expression: "No! I, when did I say that I also supported the initiative? I didn't! I don't! ”
"Huh? You didn't say yes? Then why did you nod desperately at me when I said it just now? ”
"Nope! I swear I didn't nod my head! When am I nodding again!? ”
