Chapter 55: The Pessimist
"I've probably become a pessimist since I entered the apartment." Silver Night smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that even if I left the apartment, I would still be involved in the blood word mission." ”
Mo Yuan had read the blood character record of the year, and the person who recorded the blood character at the beginning obviously admired Ke Yinye, and the record brought a lot of private goods, so he knew that Ke Yinye, like him, voluntarily took the initiative to enter the apartment, in order to save his sister-in-law Ke Yinyu, who had entered the apartment at that time, and he thought that he could finally realize his wish to resurrect his deceased lover.
"Pessimism...... Is it? Coincidentally, so did I. Dong Xie glanced at the other end of the corridor again and said, "Sadly, the reality is always worse than we expected. ”
The three of them fell silent for a moment.
"The cruelty of reason lies in this." Silver Night stared at the stopwatch page displayed on her phone and said, "Reality is never shifted by people's wishes. Actually, I'm not as strong as Li Yin. He is the one who has truly transcended despair. ”
They then began to move back towards the 80th corridor.
In what should have been the entrance, once the body has crossed the threshold intact, the evil spirit will start moving.
"Let me tell you what I think." Dong Xie stared ahead, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Senior, hmm...... It's better that you don't get involved in this operation. You are a former resident, which means that the restrictions of the apartment on the evil spirits that harm you, maybe it will not be ......"
"Do you think that if I don't join, the apartment may be more restrictive to evil spirits?"
"Hmm...... Maybe ......"
"Then you might as well do another experiment." Mo Yuan thought that Dong Xie's statement was also reasonable: "But, Dong Xie, don't forget, you are not the executor of this blood letter mission. I'm afraid there will be restrictions on the protection of you from the apartment. ”
On this issue, Dong Xie has reservations. In other words, his opinion is even the opposite of Mo Yuan. He believes that apartments may even offer greater protection to residents who do not perform the Scarlet as a reward for taking the initiative to perform the Scarlet task. And the biggest advantage of participating in such a blood letter mission is that you can learn the hidden rules of the apartment. When this blood letter mission is over, he and Dong Ning will learn about the new hidden rules. But I just don't know if a former resident like Ke Yinye will have this advantage.
"Well, so be it." Dong Xie then said: "Do two more experiments, respectively me, and Mo Yuan, just like what you did just now." Then see if the pace of the evil spirits is the same, and if there is a difference, it proves that the confined protection of the apartment is different for the three of us, if it is the same......"
Silvernight pondered, then nodded.
"You have a point."
He looked at Dong Xie at this time, but he looked at it a little differently, whether it was his psychological quality or actual wisdom, he admired it a lot.
"Alright, I'll do it first." Mo Yuan said: "I am the resident who implemented this blood letter, if my experimental data is different from Mr. Ke Yinye, it proves the existence of the restricted protection of the apartment." ”
In such a dangerous Blood Word mission, the pace of the evil spirit, even if there is only a slight difference, is the distance between heaven and hell. Although time is extremely precious, it is necessary to have sufficient experimental data to make a more foolproof plan.
"If ......" Mo Yuan tilted his head and thought for a while, he said, "If the apartment exerts protection on me, the resident who executes the blood letter, it may even make the evil spirit pause for a long time before acting, it is also possible." ”
"Well...... Let's hope so. When Yinye said this, he obviously had a somewhat bitter expression, and then took out his mobile phone, reset the stopwatch, and prepared to time Mo Yuan. After Mo Yuan threw away his mobile phone, he didn't dare to pick it up again.
Dong Xie looked at Yinye's expression at this time, he was really a pessimist.
Pessimism may sound depressing, but it also has the advantage of not being easily defeated by the harsh reality, being able to anticipate the worst and think of ways to solve the problem.
Then, Mo Yuan no longer hesitated, but walked out of the entrance. Dong Xie and Yinye grabbed Mo Yuan's arm, ensuring that when the evil spirit came out next, they would pull him back as soon as possible.
Silver Night grabbed her phone and pricked up her ears to listen.
Subsequently......
And he heard the voice of an evil spirit.
The footsteps ......
"The same...... The same! ”
Soon, Silver Night found that the interval between her steps was exactly the same as when she was standing there before!
"This?"
Originally, there was a bit of luck, but until the door opened, the time displayed on the stopwatch did not change.
Dong Xie was a little unrelenting, he pulled Mo Yuan in, and at the same time he walked out by himself!
If he had assumed that he would have had more preferential treatment than the occupants...... Right?
However......
As before, the pace hasn't changed in the slightest!
Dong Xie subconsciously retreated and walked back, and immediately after, he understood something.
"The law of this evil spirit's activity is not a limitation of the apartment! That's how it is! ”
Silver Night also suddenly realized: "I see, this is the kind of evil spirit that acts according to fixed laws and can only be killed if it triggers a dead end." ”
Such an example has not been encountered in the past blood letter missions.
As a result, it is difficult to use apartment restrictions to create an advantage for residents.
Dong Xie observed the length of the corridor in front of him, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Since this is the case, let's start the search with the room that is relatively close to us. After searching one room, he immediately fled back, and then searched one room after another. ”
"If the two people are on opposite sides of the corridor," Mo Yuan simulated in his mind how long he would be able to run to the other side of the corridor, and analyzed, "The evil spirit should only move towards one of them." This person can ...... as fast as he can"
"Then the other person is going to stay on the other side and be the bait."
"Well, that's right."
"The premise is that this evil spirit has no doppelganger."
"So, do you have to do another experiment?"
The inference of the "evil spirit clone" put forward by Silver Night, Dong Xie deduced that it should not be. However, if this is a real possibility, it does change. If we want to prove this, we have to do another experiment.
"I'll do it."
Dong Xie began to rub his hands, looked at the other side of the corridor, and said, "For some reason, I have a lot of experience in running. ”
Silver Night was stunned for a moment and said, "Huh? yes, I see. ”
Both Yinye and Mo Yuan subconsciously believed that the "certain reasons" that Dong Xie said were the result of his frequent escapes in the Blood Character Mission. Unexpectedly, it was Dong Xie who faced endless campus bullying in the past, and he couldn't win once, so he could only choose to escape.
"I'll move to the opposite side first...... Dong Xie raised his finger and pointed to the opposite side, and said, "Then, one of us each stepped over the entrance at the same time, and then ...... The evil spirit will walk down the hallway, and if there is one, the one will move towards us at the same time. If there is no doppelganger...... We can see which way the evil spirits choose to move......"
Is it the one who executes this blood letter? Or the one who doesn't carry out this blood letter? Or is it a former resident?
Either is possible. Maybe even randomly.
"The most important thing," Silvernight said, holding up a finger, "is that it is necessary to consider whether the target of the evil spirit's choice of attack is related to distance. If you give priority to the side that is closer, it will be more troublesome. In the process of searching the room, it is sure to keep approaching the evil spirit. ”
"I'm most afraid of it." Mo Yuan also had a headache about this: "If that's the case, then the other party, as a bait, needs to keep getting close to the evil spirit." ”
Objectively speaking...... This hypothesis put forward by Silver Night is likely to be true.
"That's where the pessimists are good." Dong Xie looked very relieved: "Although it is a very bad inference, we must take it into account." ”
Then, Dong Xie looked at the corridor in front of him and began to massage his thighs to warm up for the next running sprint.
Since it was not a resident who executed the blood script, the evil spirits moved at the same speed, so he was not too worried. He is quite confident in his running speed.
"So...... Begin! ”
