Chapter 160: Where the Way of Life Is
Candlelight, flickering light and dimming, the environment, silence and darkness.
Time will neither shorten nor speed up, and it will still pass by minute by second according to the laws of the world as before, but for the executor, this unpleasant and slow passage of time is equivalent to torment, and the night seems to be incomparably longer.
When Zhao Ping came to the staircase leading to the 2nd floor to the 3rd floor with a bumpy mood, the man with glasses did not immediately walk up, but slowly raised his head and looked at the stairs above, and his eyes were quite complicated in silence.
Looking at the dark corridor above, he wanted to go up but didn't want to go up, because he had to rush to the third floor to find other executors according to the original plan, and he didn't want to go up because of pure fear.
Fear comes from the unknown, even if he already knows what is on the 3rd floor, but who would dare to believe it based on the narrative alone?
It's better to be cautious, after all, there is only one life, and if you die, you are really dead.
In the end, after hesitating for a moment, Zhao Ping still raised his leg and stepped on the stairs, but as soon as his right foot stepped on the stairs, he didn't wait to continue walking, but his left leg couldn't move anymore...... The whole person fell into a static state for a while.
That's because, a second ago, he heard a string of footsteps above the stairs!
The only strange thing is that when he heard the sound, Zhao Ping not only did not be afraid, but smiled at the corner of his mouth.
The reason is very easy to explain, that is, it is impossible for the scorpion to enter the corridor, and since this is the case, isn't it the one who is going down the stairs at the moment......
………
Hula, hula, hula.
"Whew!"
Mixed with the sound of stone slabs rubbing, He Fei finally finished everything after wasting all his strength, and in a sweat, he removed the stone slab located under the oil painting, and a square entrance and exit appeared in front of him.
Looking down at the entrance, the first thing that catches your eye is a flight of stairs that lead down to the entrance, but you can only see a small part of the entrance, and further down there is a palpitating darkness.
Observing this, He Fei, who was squatting at the entrance, was a little entangled, he, his legs trembled, his heart was weak, it was nice to have the title of executor, but it was a pity that there was no fart, he was still just an ordinary person, but people will have fear in the face of unknown things, ordinary people are no exception, He Fei is the same, plus this task prohibits props, so he is a little entangled, entangled whether to go down, he knows very well that there is a mantis in the basement, and it is a stinger that he doesn't know anything about, in case, in case he encounters ......
Speaking of what if, what if Ye Wei and they were all in the basement?
(Yes, I can't hesitate anymore, the more hesitant I am, the more scared he is!) )
After a few seconds, He Fei made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and then resolutely walked into the passage while holding a flashlight.
………
"Zhao Ping?"
"Why are you here?"
When Ye Wei, Cheng Ying, and Peng Hu had just descended from the third floor to the second floor, the three of them were the first to notice that there was a person standing below, who was standing at the top of the stairs and watching them silently.
The flashlight shone straight through, and after seeing the appearance of the people downstairs, the three of them were shocked, the other party was not someone else, it was Zhao Ping downstairs!
(Why is this guy here?) Are you planning to go upstairs? No, it feels more like we've been waiting for us...... )
Similarly, the three of them saw Zhao Ping clearly and the glasses man also saw them, somehow, as soon as the two sides met, if Ye Wei and the others were just quite surprised, then Zhao Ping became complicated at this moment, and felt even more remorseful for He Fei in his heart.
(He Fei, He Fei, this is really unpredictable, who would have thought that these people would stay together?) I didn't expect them to be concentrated on the third floor! )
That's right, the reason why I think this way in my heart is not only because of Zhao Ping's personal feelings, but also because of the overall situation, there is no doubt that not to mention what He Fei thinks, at least in the eyes of the glasses man, only the senior in the whole team will be worth the risk of him and He Fei to find, which is why Zhao Ping was reluctant but finally agreed when He Fei proposed to look for it separately, and the focus was on Ye Wei, Cheng Ying and Peng Hu.
As for the other newcomers, if they meet on the way to find the veteran, they will tell them the location of the way of life by the way, if they can't touch it, forget it, as long as they can ensure that the core members of the team know the location of the way out, that is to say, as long as the three veterans are found, for the newcomer? Anyway, he, Zhao Ping, will definitely not continue to take risks to find it.
Therefore, the answer came out, which explained why Zhao Ping's face was complicated when he saw the three veterans appear together, and at the same time, he felt more and more remorseful for He Fei, it was obvious that since Ye Wei and the three of them were all from the third floor, it meant that there was no one in the basement! Even if there is, it is only a newcomer at most, a newcomer is not worth saving at all, at least it is not worth risking to save a veteran like He Fei, who is extremely valuable in the team, but unfortunately it is useless to regret these now, after all, He Fei has already gone to the basement.
Sensing a slight change in the face of the man with glasses on the opposite side, Ye Wei, who was standing between Cheng Ying and Peng Hu, couldn't help but be stunned, the woman first looked around a few times left and right, until it was confirmed that there was only Zhao Ping on the other side, Xu is also faintly aware of something, and without waiting for the other party to speak, she took the lead in asking Zhao Ping, ": You, why are you here?" Also, what happened in the meantime? ”
Ye Wei deserves to be Ye Wei, the first sentence of her mouth directly focused on the key point of the question, seeing the female captain raise a question, Zhao Ping nodded noncommittally, did not immediately describe the original situation, but used a solemn tone to stop the three people who were about to walk down the stairs upwards: "Wait a minute!" Don't even leave the stairs. ”
"Huh? Don't go downstairs? Stuck in the stairs? What do you mean by that? Seeing that the man with glasses stopped everyone from going downstairs, Peng Hu immediately asked.
Peng Hu was puzzled, but Zhao Ping, who was currently focusing on Ye Wei, did not react much, he neither answered Peng Hu's question nor ignored the puzzled gazes of the few people on the other side, but after stepping straight up the stairs, he asked a few people with a complicated expression: "Everyone, do you want to know...... Where is the survival of this supernatural mission, and do you want to know where the safest place is in this ancient castle? ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, sure enough, as soon as the glasses man's words came out, the three people in front of him were collectively startled on the spot, a few seconds later, Ye Wei did not immediately ask, but thoughtfully glanced at the stairs at Zhao Ping's feet, Cheng Ying also did not say a word, his eyes narrowed slightly, but Peng Hu, who was the most straightforward, urged the glasses man without hesitation: ", why do you like to sell Guanzi so much?" Have you found your way out? If you find a way out, hurry up and say it!? ”
Zhao Ping stretched out his hand and pointed to the stairs under everyone's feet and said, "This is it!" ”
