Who? Who is the person living next door, it stands to reason that the executor would not be so bold as to dare to talk to such an extremely terrifying-looking old man.

Xu Lang frowned and calmed down to try to listen to their conversation, but he couldn't hear anything at all except the sound of his own pounding heartbeat.

After a while, the voice next door disappeared, and when he heard a slamming door, Xu Lang quietly sat back on the edge of the bed.

His brows were furrowed, he really couldn't figure out why this mission was so strange, what was the purpose of the old man's question, which looked like an evil spirit, and the name ...... Could it have played a different role in the course of events?

It was already late at night outside the window, but there was no moonlight seeping in the only window in the room, Xu Lang looked at the hazy scenery outside the window, and had some bad premonitions in his heart.

But then he received a phone call, and the caller showed "Zhu Zixing".

Xu Lang was a little surprised, several executors had exchanged phone numbers before, but since the beginning of the mission, no one had spoken to each other on the phone, and he also wondered why those newcomers didn't call him in panic when they encountered separate room isolation.

Unexpectedly, after the old man left, Zhu Zixing, the newcomer, really called himself.

Xu Lang thought for a while, and finally picked it up, but he didn't take the lead in speaking, but was ready to hear the other party's intention.

A slightly flustered but calm voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Xu, I'm Zhu Zixing...... Feed? Brother Xu? ”

Xu Lang frowned a little, this newcomer talked a little nonsense, which made him feel a little unhappy, and replied coldly: "It's me." ”

Zhu Zixing didn't notice Xu Lang's bad tone, but was a little happy, and hurriedly said: "Just now, an old man who looks like an evil spirit came to me and asked my name, Brother Xu, do you have this situation over there?" ”

Xu Lang finally got to the point, in this situation where it is impossible to gather at the moment, it is also very important to share more information, his tone is not so cold, and he replied: "That's right." ”

Zhu Zixing said: "He asked me what my name was, how did you answer, Brother Xu?" ”

Xu Lang didn't hide it: "I didn't answer him." ”

Zhu Zixing snorted, and then said, "I didn't answer him either, but he thought about it with me again, and came back to me to ask again!" ”

Xu Lang was taken aback, this ...... Why didn't the old man say this to me either, and felt that the old man probably asked the same question in each executor's room, and everyone's answer might not be the same, so each of us may have a different experience.

Thinking of this, Xu Lang asked, "What was your performance at that time?" ”

Zhu Zixing was stunned by these questions, but reacted instantly, thinking about his performance at that time, and truthfully told Xu Lang:

"I was looking at an empty frame at the head of the bed, and while I was thinking, suddenly the door opened, and an old man appeared in the doorway. I was looking at the frame of the mirror intently, and suddenly an old man who looked like an evil spirit appeared behind me, and I immediately froze in fright, and I couldn't hear what he said. Later, after a long time, when he was leaving, he said that he would come back and ask again. ”

When Xu Lang heard this, he also extracted a key point from this passage, it turned out that there was an empty mirror frame in every room, and the portraits inside had disappeared.

Although the two of them expressed the same meaning in this answer, which was not an answer, the two of them behaved completely differently when the old man asked.

Xu Lang was vigilant, trying to keep a distance from the old man, and cautiously did not open his mouth to answer his questions; And Zhu Zixing was completely frightened, had no ability to think, and didn't remember the old man's problem for a while.

The same question was not answered, but the two probably mean different meanings in the eyes of the elderly, which is the main reason for the judgment of the elderly's behavior.

Thinking like this, Xu Lang remembered the notebook in the old man's hand again, and he clearly remembered that the old man sighed when he left, and then wrote something on the note!

Has the ability to think independently, and does not attack the executor, but acts like doing an investigation, is this old man really a person?

There are many mysteries, and every point that appears from the entry mission is confusing, as if Xu Lang is going to be surrounded, and he can't breathe at all.

The other end of the phone noticed that the other party seemed to have lost movement, and Zhu Zixing asked anxiously: "Brother Xu, are you still there?" ”

Xu Lang returned to reality from thinking, and secretly thought that although this Zhu Zixing is a newcomer, he is obviously much stronger than other newcomers, and he can help and help.

"I'm still here"

"Brother Xu, the old man will continue to ask me in a while, can you help me think about how to answer?"

Xu Lang actually thought that he would ask this question, but he also didn't have any bottom in his heart, and at present, no matter how he gave any answer, the result was unknown.

He didn't know what kind of answer was the most appropriate, and after thinking about it, he told Zhu Zixing: "You pretend to be crazy and stupid, and continue not to answer his questions, but remember that it's best not to look calm and composed, and behave like when I asked you last time." ”

Zhu Zixing didn't understand why Xu Lang still didn't let him give the old man a reply, in case he didn't answer again this opportunity, wouldn't he be dead if he angered the old man, and hurriedly said, "Brother Xu, can this work?" I didn't answer last time, I didn't answer this time, what if he doesn't have the patience to kill me directly? ”

Xu Lang patiently explained to him: "If I guessed correctly, he should have taken out his notebook and wrote something on it before he asked you questions and left." ”

Zhu Zixing seriously recalled the old man's actions at that time, and indeed had this behavior, and then said, "That's right." ”

"I don't know what the outcome of this answer will be, but I'm sure you're not going to die at the moment. First of all, this is the first day, and it is not time to kill people at will;

Then there are 8 executors, the answer is definitely different, if you just enter the task and kill people in this lottery-like way, it is completely inconsistent with the difficulty of this mission;

Last but not least, the old man is probably not asking for a name to kill someone, but to record our performance and some purpose that we don't know about at the moment, and although this answer may affect the direction of the mission in the future, it is safe for now.

So I'd suggest that you should behave like you did when you first met the old man, as this should discourage him from asking you any more. ”

A reasoned and well-founded argument made Zhu Zixing suddenly realize, and he quickly nodded and hung up the phone.

Zhu Zixing is the first executor to take the initiative to communicate with Xu Lang, which also shows that he also has enough wit, after he understands his situation, his mind is getting clearer and clearer, he is just a newcomer, and he only wants to survive with the help of veterans, and Xu Lang is obviously the leader of this task.

Asking him for help and sharing some information can not only make Xu Lang's impression of himself change, but also get his help. Zhu Zixing is mediocre on the surface, but in fact, the more adversity he gets, the stronger his ability becomes, and this operation has obviously reached the limit of what he can do at present.

Zhu Zixing sat at the head of the bed, with a somewhat dim yellow light behind him, facing the wall in a daze, ready to wait for the old man to come again.

Xu Lang hung up the phone, recalling the new information brought by Zhu Zixing, there will be an empty mirror frame in every room, and the old man is currently only observing everyone's performance and recording without too many movements.

Xu Lang looked at the mobile phone in his hand, so who was the person talking to the old man?

Is it the executor or someone else?

Just thinking of this, Xu Lang's mobile phone suddenly vibrated silently, although there was no sound, the screen had lit up, and the person who came this time was Cheng Guoguo.

Xu Lang connected the phone, and listened to the sound of sucking and sucking from Cheng Guoguo's side, Xu Lang took the phone away and looked at the screen showing that he was on the phone, and then put it to his ear suspiciously, and said tentatively: "Cheng Guoguo? ”

Just listen to a whispering voice that seems to say, "Uh-huh"

Xu Lang thought there was a situation on his side, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Ah...... I almost choked on a big sip of Coke just now. ”

“......”

Xu Lang frowned, a little displeased: "What's the situation over there?" ”

"On my side, there's nothing special in the room, only an empty frame that's a little unusual. An old man came over just now and snatched the Coke from my hand! ”

Xu Lang was shocked again and asked tentatively, "He didn't ask your name?" ”

"No, I just came up and took my Coke away, and we got into an argument."

Xu Lang was a little confused: "He won't let you drink Coke?" ”

"That's right! It was really mentally ill, and I got into an argument with him at the time. He seemed to want to ask me something when he came up, but when he saw the Coke can in my hand, he rushed up to grab it, and I was stunned and he succeeded me.

Tell me 'don't drink Coke', but I'm not convinced, I was still a little scared, but looking at his performance, even if he is an evil spirit, I'm afraid it's not with the idea of killing, so what am I afraid of, so I turned my head and debated with him.

I asked him which law says that people can't drink Coke? He asked me with a calm face who gave me Coke, and I saw that he didn't answer me, and I didn't answer him. Finally, he nodded for some reason and left the room.

That's all there is to me. ”

Xu Lang finally understood when he heard this, it turned out that the ear room next to him was Cheng Guoguo, and the conversation he heard turned out to be that they quarreled over a can of Coke?!

Xu Lang has read so many mission reports, but he has never heard of this kind of oolong thing.

Cheng Guoguo on the other side asked him what the situation was here, and Xu Lang told him about his situation, and both of them were at a loss for the current situation, and they were all dizzy.

The beginning of the incomprehensible mission cast a haze on Xu Lang's heart, he would rather be the kind of escape mission than this kind of decryption-like mission, the unknown is the deepest fear!
