Noticing the fear reaction of a group of veterans, although he didn't understand why these people were afraid of being like this, but with decades of life experience, he still guessed that the cockroach hidden in the hotel was definitely very strong, and in his personal impression, even the terrifying pink female moth in the last mission had never scared the veteran like this!

In the dead silence, after glancing at everyone's reactions, Zhao Ping finally knew in his heart, so for a while his heart trembled, to be honest, if it was possible, he didn't want to say those three words, he didn't want to say that word, but the problem was ...... How to fly just analyzed and guessed correctly, so even if everyone covers their ears and doesn't admit it, it's meaningless, after all, the terrifying strength of the mantis is there, and it doesn't matter if you believe it or not.

So, with the sweat on his forehead, with the twitching of the corners of his mouth, and the silence with his head bowed for a moment, Zhao Ping slowly raised his head, and while staring at his teammates next to him, he said three words in a tangled tone, saying a word he didn't want to say but had to say:

"Earthbound Spirits."

………

"Sad and mournful, I would rather die than disturb the soul."

"The so-called earth-bound spirit, such as according to our Taoist interpretation refers to the soul bound on the earth, but there is bound will naturally have protection, in other words, it can be understood as the spirit protected by the earth, is a certain will embodiment of people, animals, plants and even inanimate substances, because there is a great wish before life or there is great hatred, etc., so that it has been unable to be freed, thus forming such a special spirit, but there is still one thing to note, that is, it is different from the soul, the lonely soul, the charm and the stinger...... From the Taoist point of view, this kind of spirit is based on an area as a carrier (including buildings in the area), and its ability also originates from this area, to put it bluntly, you can understand the earth binding spirit as the princes who occupy one side, that is to say, the area where the earth binding spirit is located is completely controlled by it, and its ability will be infinitely magnified in this area that belongs to it, yes, this is a real supernatural power, almost omnipotent, and it is not an exaggeration to call the earth binding spirit the infant form of the earth god. ”

"My master once told me that the Earth Binding Spirit is very rare, there are few in the whole world, but once it appears, it is definitely not something that ordinary Taoist priests or other psychic professions can deal with, because even the smallest and weakest Earth Binding Spirit in the control area will be several times stronger than the ordinary force, and the Earth Binding Spirit is not impossible to advance, as long as it has the means to expand the scope of the 'Earth Bondage', continue to expand, expand thousands of times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times, 100,000 times Of course, this is almost impossible, there has never been an advanced situation in the history of the Daomen, uh, that's all, the above is my simple explanation of the Earth Binding Spirit. ”

When Chen Xiaoyao finished gushing the above explanation of the Earth Binding Spirit, he swallowed his saliva, shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, and finally looked up to the sky and smiled like a self-muttering smile: "Hahaha! Master, Master, I guess you wouldn't have thought that your apprentice and I would be lucky enough to meet the Earth Bound Spirit one day, right? This, this...... It's a tragedy, hahaha! ”

Xu was desperate, and at the end of the year, the young man began to smile bitterly, and his helplessness was overflowing.

Putting aside how helpless and bitter Chen Xiaoyao was, as the young man finished narrating and listened to the explanation, all the executors in the room collectively shuddered without exception! Especially a few people who have personally experienced the midnight bell are further shocked, after all, they have experienced it firsthand, and have experienced the true meaning of despair, and that Sadako is just a ground binding spirit, a mutant of the earth binding spirit that is more powerful and insoluble than the ordinary earth binding spirit, drawing inferences from one another, taking 10,000 steps back and saying, even if the earth binding spirit hidden in the hotel is only an ordinary earth binding spirit, even if its strength is far weaker than Sadako, but after all, the other party has reached the level of the earth binding spirit, and then thinking that the weakest earth binding spirit often has several times the strength of the powerful sting, it can be imagined, How difficult and terrifying this paranormal mission will be!

As for why He Fei was able to infer the strength level of the mantis just by closing it? The reason is also very simple, and it was mentioned earlier, that is, in He Fei's personal impression, although there were many mantis with the ability to close in the past, there were very few that could completely close a large area, and so far only Sadako could do it, since there was a reference, then at present, even if the strength of the whole hotel was far weaker than Sadako, its strength was still unusual, at least in He Fei's memory, Li Moth could not ban a large area, indeed, the results of the college student's analysis were correct, It's just that Chen Xiaoyao's explanation of the Earth Binding Spirit just now still startled He Fei, he never dreamed that the Earth Binding Spirit would be so terrifying, and then thought about how lucky everyone was to survive the Midnight Bell Mission.

Getting back to the point, as time passed minute by minute, after a moment of coldness, and a moment of silence, Cheng Ying came back to her senses first, and then hurriedly said to He Feiwen beside her as if she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I remember that the mission goal is very clear, as long as we can identify the mit, then we will complete the task, right?" ”

It's like finding light in the dark, similar to seizing hope in a desperate situation, Cheng Ying's words suddenly moved the hearts of everyone at the scene, yes, Cheng Ying's words are both reasonable and profound, at least He Fei understood the meaning of his words in the blink of an eye, what does it mean? The meaning is very simple, that is, this supernatural mission is not the kind of passive evasion mission that requires survival for a few days, but a identification mission that requires active attack, both need to be identified, so that the strength of the mantis will not make much sense, because everyone knows that the curse rules have always been extremely strict, whether it is the executor or the malignant in the task, both sides will be limited by the rules, which has nothing to do with the strength of the mth, such as the current mission, even if the mantis is really a very strong earth binding spirit? As long as the performer identifies the other party according to the requirements of the task, the mantis will not be able to attack them, and will eventually be judged by the curse to complete the task.

When you think about it this way, the situation may not be too bad, and it is not necessarily more desperate than imagined, after all, the executor has a very clear goal, but unfortunately......

Unfortunately, everyone only has one chance to designate, and once the designated person is not a mantis, then the designator will be cursed and instantly obliterated!

According to this rule, another conclusion can be drawn that the mantis is not invisible, but has disguised itself as a human, and now that this mantis is also wandering around the hotel as a human, the executor needs to identify the person disguised by the mantis in the crowd.

The reason seems to be smooth, the logic seems simple, but unfortunately the Cecil Hotel has been completely closed at present, and the people in the hotel, whether it is the guests or the staff, cannot leave, and what He Fei is really worried about is......

According to estimates, the number of people trapped in the hotel is about 200 people at the moment!

What does this mean?

It means difficulty, it means helplessness, if the executor wants to live under the indiscriminate killing of the mantis, he must identify the identity of the mantis as soon as possible, but if he wants to identify who is a ghost from 200 people, how easy is it!?

So after thinking about this, including He Fei, all the veterans instantly extinguished the fire as if they were poured a basin of cold water on their heads, not only did the hope that just sprung up suddenly disappear into the invisible, and a sense of helplessness and despair further emerged in their hearts, yes, everyone only has one chance to identify, and the success of the identification is easy to say, but if the identification fails, it will be wiped out, so that a certain problem is placed in front of everyone, who will identify? Who would dare to easily identify a situation where you know that you will die if you make a mistake? Who would do such crazy things without being 100% sure? Is this different from suicide? It can even be understood that there are only two outcomes waiting for the performer of this supernatural mission, either to be killed by the mantis, or to be cursed and obliterated due to the failure of the identification.

Anyway, the final result is one word:

Die!

"Goo, then, then He Fei, what should we do now?"

Xu is more and more uncomfortable and bumpy by this cruel fact, plus he figured out the difficulties, swallowed his saliva, Yao Fujiang broke the silence, and was the first to ask He Fei a question, and put forward a question that everyone is most concerned about at present, as mentioned above, what should I do? What's next?

Listening to the young man's questions and feeling the eyes of everyone, as the team leader, this time He Fei was a little surprised that he didn't answer Yao Fujiang's question, ignored the eyes of others, he just turned around and moved without saying a word, walked to the central sofa and sat down slowly, lowered his head and pondered, occasionally looked up at the opposite side, looked at everyone, and after a long time, He Fei calmly commanded: "Brother Peng, Chen Xiaoyao, Yao Fujiang, you immediately go to the hall on the first floor to take a turn, and tell me what you have obtained when you come back." ”

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of work, you are afraid that there is no work to do, and it is very appropriate to apply the current situation, especially for veterans, they are not afraid of taking risks and being busy, what they are really afraid of is that He Fei is helpless without saying a word, it is conceivable that once even the team commander can't come up with an idea, how will the rest of the people feel?

"Okay, no problem!"

Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, seeing that He Fei finally finished thinking and gave instructions, as soon as the other party's voice fell, Peng Hu did not hesitate to open his mouth to agree, and did not even ask, yes, with Peng Hu's understanding of He Fei, he didn't need to ask the other party why, for him personally, he just had to do it in strict accordance with the requirements of the youth, saying that it was so, and the reality was even more so, nodding and admitting, the next moment, the bald man turned around and left, opened the door and strode out, Chen Xiaoyao also followed without saying a word, only ......

Seeing that Peng Chen and the others were so simple, for some reason, Yao Fujiang couldn't help but hesitate.

Because......

He was very scared now!

Frightened beyond measure, the subconscious thinks that he will only be safe if he follows the army, for no reason, for no reason, and if he has to force an explanation, he can only summarize the source of his fear on a certain word, a short but terrifying word that scares him to death:

Earthbinders!

There is a terrified earth binding spirit hidden in the hotel, and if it is attacked halfway, it will be my own life......

Of course, ideas are just ideas after all, and the young man's hesitation only lasts for two or three seconds, no matter what, he is a real veteran, and he can see many things clearly, if he doesn't dare to leave because he is afraid, He Fei will not say anything, but when he saw Zhao Ping's eyes that inadvertently swept towards him...... Finally! Gritting his teeth, the flat-headed young man moved, and chased out of the door.

After the three of them left, in the guest room, He Fei did not explain the reason to the remaining executors, and continued to move to scan again, this time he set his eyes on Zhao Ping.

What was a little surprising was that then, without waiting for He Fei to open his mouth to speak, the man with glasses took the initiative to open his mouth with his eyes narrowed before him, and asked the young man a question in a tentative tone: "Are you planning to let me go to that person?" ”

"Looks like you've guessed what I'm thinking...... Well, yes, it's an important person anyway, and it seems to me that this matter will only be bigger if you have to do it. ”

After hearing He Fei's words, and seeing the other party nodding, Zhao Ping did not answer directly, but habitually raised his hand to touch the bridge of his nose under the gaze of everyone, helped the gold wire glasses, and shifted his gaze while holding the glasses, and swept his vision to others, and only then did he open his mouth calmly and replied at the end: "No problem, I will handle this matter, but ...... I have a request. ”

He Fei asked, "What requirements?" ”

"I need two helpers."

………

Da, da, da.

The atmosphere was dull, the footsteps were slight, and if you looked closely at the narrow and long staircase, you would see that three people were walking up the stairs one after the other, moving slowly and showing a wary look in everyone.

Since the Cecil Hotel has been completely closed by supernatural forces, for the sake of safety, after leaving the room, Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao and Yao Fujiang did not take the elevator as they did when they first went upstairs, but chose to walk downstairs along the stairs, fortunately it was downstairs, otherwise it would not be easy to climb up on the 12th floor, and there was another thing that had always made Peng Hu wonder, he found that since he learned that the scorpion in this supernatural mission was very likely to be the spirit of the earth, Chen Xiaoyao did not post the talisman everywhere as before, There's also a lot less crap than it used to be.

As mentioned above, the more he thought about it, the more incomprehensible he became, the more suspicious he became, driven by curiosity, while walking, the bald man scratched his head, turned his head sideways and asked the young man: "Hey, why are you so quiet kid?" I remember that you don't usually talk much? By the way, since you are a Taoist priest, do you have a way to find out the mantis? ”

Seeing that the bald man asked questions again and again, Chen Xiaoyao directly turned his head to Peng Hu and smiled bitterly, and then shook his head with a complicated head and sighed: "Brother Peng, Brother Peng, it seems that you still don't fully understand the meaning of the Earth Binding Spirit, I said before that the strength of the Earth Binding Spirit is far from being comparable to the Fierce Spirit, but it is conceivable that I can't even deal with the Fierce Spirit, let alone the Binding Spirit, as for finding the Soul Binding ...... Well, if only my master could still sense it, and I ...... Hehe, I think it's better to forget it, you don't even have to try, it will only be in vain. ”

Because the two sides have 'accumulated grievances for a long time', seeing that Chen Xiaoyao is honest and honest, how can Yao Fujiang, who is following behind him, let go of the opportunity? As soon as the other party said a word, the flat-headed young man taunted on the spot with the corner of his mouth in front of the bald man: "Cut, I originally thought you were so awesome, it turns out that you are at this level, and you will be cowardly so quickly." ”

"Hey! Brother Fu Jiang, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, strictly speaking, I don't call it confession, I should call it self-knowledge, and I never do things like a swollen face and a fat man. ”

"Okay, okay, don't look at the time of the quarrel, it's all at this time, do you two boys still have him in the mood to bite each other?"

"Hey, Brother Peng, don't blame me, it's me who attacked first, I belong to self-defense and counterattack!"

"Fuck your uncle, who do you say is the hanging hair?"

The three of them walked like this, and all of them were on high alert during the process of going downstairs, perhaps because they were lucky enough or the mantis had not yet killed the living, time passed, nothing happened in the process of going downstairs, and in a few moments the three of them crossed the stairs to the end and arrived at the hall on the first floor.

The result was unexpected, stopped to observe, looked around, and saw that the hotel gate was pure white, full of dense fog that blocked the view, the same as He Fei's speculation, which was expected by the three of them, however, after a while, with the confirmation that the hotel was closed, as they looked at the doors and windows of the hall, when their eyes subconsciously turned to the center of the restaurant, whether it was Peng Hu and Chen Xiaoyao or Yao Fujiang, the three of them were stunned.

Without exception, their eyes were wide open, and they stared at the opposite side in a state of confusion.

The reason is simple, and that is...... The entire restaurant on the first floor is still normal, in the field of vision, the guests who were in the restaurant earlier are still as usual, still doing their own things, these people are either eating at the table or smoking and chatting, the atmosphere is as usual, ignoring the strange situation outside the door, not only completely ignoring the white fog outside, and no one has left from beginning to end, and no one has the slightest intention of going out.

"This ......"

Seeing this scene, Peng Hu opened his mouth widely, Yao Fujiang's face showed surprise, and countless question marks appeared in his mind for a while, yes, don't look at the restaurant to maintain a calm and natural appearance, in fact, it is weird and terrible here, after all, the weird white fog that closed the entire hotel is so obvious, obviously close at hand, close to the door, but everyone in the hall doesn't care, don't forget that this is not London, which is often foggy, but Los Angeles, USA, it stands to reason that such a large area of dense fog will inevitably attract people's attention. However, the result of things is often so weird, there is no need to say more, there is no need to say more, the actual situation is just as the three of them see at the moment, the crowd in the hall is still the same, still as usual, people are doing their own things, completely ignoring the white fog in front of them!

If the person who is currently here is He Fei, the college students will definitely be able to understand what the problem is in an instant, but unfortunately, it is a pity that He Fei is not here now, and only Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao and Yao Fujiang are standing here.

But......

There are no absolutes.

Strictly speaking, not all the people in the huge restaurant are blind to the white fog outside the door, because the observation is more detailed, soon, the three of them made a discovery, so they noticed that there was a person standing near the door, and a person was staring at the door in a daze with a frightened gaze, like a puppet facing the glass in a daze, looking closely, you can further find that the other party is not someone else, it is the front desk receptionist Qiao Na who checked in for everyone at the beginning!

"Let's go, go over and have a look."

With Peng Hu's greeting, the three of them walked in front of Qiao Na, and at the same time, Qiao Na, who heard the sound, hurriedly turned around and turned around, seeing that the person who came was three of the tourists from the earlier group of Z country tourists, Qiao Na was going to say something, but before she could speak, Peng Hu thought she was rushing to ask in a puzzled tone before her, "You...... It was just a white fog outside the gate, right? ”

Groov!

I don't know why, as soon as the bald head said this, Qiao Na was stunned on the spot like a living moth, and then her eyes opened wide and her mouth opened wide to reveal a shocked expression, and this reaction inevitably made Peng Hu and the three of them suddenly puzzled, and looked at each other a few times, each inexplicable, of course, Qiao Na's shock did not last long, and she suddenly came back to her senses, even if she was overjoyed as she saw the same kind of person she hadn't seen for a long time, she glanced at the three people in front of her and asked in an eager tone: "Can you three also see the white fog outside the door?" ”

Hey?

The blonde said, the executors were stunned, and Chen Xiaoyao reacted the fastest, ignoring the two people on his side, and as soon as the other party asked out, the young man nodded first with a thoughtful expression, pointing to the guests in the hall and asking Qiao Na: "What?" Listen to what you mean...... Can't those people see it? ”

Chen Xiaoyao seized the opportunity to ask a question at the right time, and Qiao Na nodded noncommittally and replied: "Well, those guests somehow, they have been very strange since the thick fog appeared, whether it is accommodation or eating, without exception, they ignore the dense fog outside, at first, after the dense fog appeared, I walked to a few guests to remind them, but after looking back at the door, the other party stared at me with the eyes of a madman, and their answers made me even more scared, because ...... They all said there was no fog outside the door! ”

"No fog? This can't be, is there really something wrong with my eyes? Or am I really crazy? ”

Because it was too incomprehensible, at this moment, as the narrative was maintained one after another, the more Qiao Na spoke, the more panicked she became, and finally she simply held her head in her hands and muttered to herself, the color of confusion was overflowing, listening, Peng Hu and Yao Fujiang were both shocked, only Chen Xiaoyao was in a slightly better state, plus there were thoughts during the period, and he was silent for a moment, the young man moved, walked to the door to observe again, pushed the door again, and confirmed that the door did not move, Chen Xiaoyao slowly turned around, and finally comforted Qiao Na in a sure tone: "Miss, I can tell you responsibly, You're not crazy or there's anything wrong with you, and we can see the fog outside the door as clearly as you do, so ......"

Speaking of this, after a pause, he first exchanged a look with Peng Hu, nodded, and then asked with a solemn face: "So I want to know the process, and please tell us what happened during the period, this is not only very important to us, but also to you, and to all the people who are currently in the hotel!" ”
