Chapter 272: Old and Gloomy
Xu Lang's mood did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he asked calmly, "What's wrong with He Xiao?" ”
"You told me before that He Xiao is a good-for-nothing wine bag and rice bag, but this mission is a little unusually smart, I have to say that he once conspired with Cao Yada almost put me to death, although he is one step behind, but now he still has a chance to turn the tables."
"That's good, He Xiao does have his own hole cards, but everything is still not clear, have you found anything?" Xu Lang sat down slowly, picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip, moistening his somewhat dry throat a little.
"On the way back to Room One after I discussed the mission with you, he was desperately digging the hole to Room One, and he should have been hooked at that time.
And after a long period of work, I noticed a black mole under his right ear! Song Zhuoming's voice was light and powerful.
"Black moles?" Xu Lang thought about He Xiao's past appearance repeatedly, in fact, he didn't know whether He Xiao had a black mole or not, after all, it was in the hidden place under the earlobe, and he had never carefully observed this.
"Yes, in fact, I saw this black mole when I met him for the first time during the mission, and at that time, because of the sweat flowing after a long time of work, I found a place that didn't make sense!"
"Where?" Xu Lang's emotions were somewhat aroused by Song Zhuoming's words, and he hurriedly asked.
"He appeared twice before and after, and the position of the mole was different. The mole begins to move down gradually! It may be the flow of sweat that causes the surface of the skin to be somewhat smooth, or something else.
But the location of the mole was indeed washed away. ”
Xu Lang slowly turned the water glass on the table, but his thoughts followed Song Zhuoming's words and thought at high speed.
"In that case, what is under He Xiao's earlobe is not a black mole, but a black dot-like object!"
"But what is this thing?"
Xu Lang frowned, he remembered what he had said to Yan Yan again, and almost all the current news of the newspaper was revealed by He Xiao.
Including completing fifteen missions to leave the newspaper office, fighting is not allowed inside the newspaper, etc., etc., and all these are the rules that He Xiao groped out from the previous generation of executors.
But except for He Xiao, no one has seen the previous generation of executors, Yan Yan is the first batch of employees to enter the newspaper, but he still hasn't seen any executors.
This He Xiao......
He has long had deep doubts about it, Xu Lang couldn't think of this problem, when there were only a few employees in the newspaper at the beginning, it was simply difficult, Yan Yan could live is acceptable, but how can his ability survive to this day.
If you make a bold assumption, will He Xiao be related to the previous generation of executors?
After all, whether the previous generation of executors have completely died in that unsolvable level task is only He Xiao's words, maybe one of them really has a character who survived, then He Xiao, the only living person in the newspaper, the relationship between them will be extremely deep!
But thinking of this, Xu Lang felt a little unlikely, could it be that person had completed fifteen missions and left the newspaper?
Otherwise, why had that man never been seen in the newspaper office, and had he never been on any mission with them?
But when you think about it, it feels unlikely, is there really a person in this world who can complete fifteen missions?
This challenge is almost impossible, because all those who execute are subject to the Great Purge, and even if you have the utmost wisdom and means, how can you escape from the palm of the newspaper's hand?
In fact, Xu Lang and Yan Yan both had an idea, they wanted to complete fifteen tasks step by step, not to mention how risky it was, and time would not allow it at all.
Because the newspaper society, aware of the danger and the unknown, forcibly increases the difficulty of the task.
It's like a game, the rules set by the newspaper can be changed if you want! If the executor believes it all, he can only die!
If there is really a mysterious figure behind He Xiao, then is this person really still human?
Not to mention the question of whether he is a human being or something, since he has such a unique ability, why should he support He Xiao?
Even Xu Lang now thinks that He Xiao's position as provisional captain was won with the help of a mysterious person......
Provisional captain?
Xu Lang suddenly thundered in his mind, and the word captain began to spin wildly in his mind, captain, captain, captain!
He Xiao has already passed six missions, once he also passes the task of Room 7, then he will become a candidate for captain with Yan Yan and Xu Lang, if the people behind him are so painstakingly supporting him, then there is no doubt that his purpose is the captain's authority!
Xu Lang felt more and more strange in his heart, even if He Xiao successfully became the captain and obtained the captain's permission, how could this mysterious person obtain the right to use it?
You must know that although He Xiao is stupid, he is definitely not a fool, maybe he now knows the thoughts of the mysterious man, and they are also in a relationship of mutual use.
He Xiao borrowed the power of the mysterious man to survive one mission after another, and the mysterious man supported He Xiao to reach the identity of the captain and used it to use the captain's authority......
In this way, this mysterious person will have an extremely huge amount of information about the newspaper, and he can even exploit the loopholes of the newspaper's rules to achieve his own goals!
Xu Lang's heart is a little uncertain, if everything is similar to what he speculated, then the existence of the mysterious person will make the already more chaotic newspaper environment more complicated!
And he, Xu Lang, will also usher in an enemy even more terrible than Yan Yan!
"Brother Xu? Are you still there? ”
Song Zhuoming's slightly puzzled voice echoed in Xu Lang's ears, which made him realize that the phone had never hung up.
Xu Lang recovered slightly in distraction, "Well, I'm still here." ”
"Can you roughly guess what the source of all this is? After all, you're a veteran of the newspaper. "Song Zhuoming has heard about Xu Lang.
The first group of people have all died, and only a few people remain, including He Xiao, Yan Yan, Xu Lang and Cheng Guoguo.
Xu Lang's eyes were a little vague, and he responded, "I have some guesses, let's see if He Xiao can survive first." ”
It's still a lot of time, and all the deployment can be carried out slowly, and the good news now is that there is no problem on Wu Cheng's side, as long as it continues.
The mission of Room 7 needs to wait until all fourteen executors are dead or the task is completely completed, and with the departure of Song Zhuoming, a special person, the possibility of the remaining executors surviving is already very small, except for a few characters like He Xiao who have initially grasped the clues of the way to live.
However, Xu Lang can almost conclude that among the remaining people, only He Xiao has a chance to survive.
But according to the time, there is at least a week left before the next mission is released!
The daylight was about to gradually brighten, Xu Lang's eyelids were also a little worried, and he said to Song Zhuoming on the other end of the phone: "Rest, we still have a lot of time." ”
After saying this, Xu Lang threw his phone aside and didn't care about it anymore, turned around and climbed onto the bed, emptying his brain and not thinking about anything anymore.
At the same time, in an unknown location, the game in Room 7 continues.
The executor in room No. 1 had fallen asleep, and He Xiao was guarding the door smoking a cigarette, his consciousness a little scattered.
People are the most lax in the early hours of the morning, He Xiao has spent three days in the dark room, the original food has long been consumed, and the drinking water is no longer there.
Now he has been sharing the sandwich with Shang Weicheng, the executor in Room One, drinking the stinky water from the gutter.
His stomach has been twisting and aching during this time, he has been to the toilet many times, and the stench in room No. 1 is foul, which also causes He Xiao to rely on cigarettes to relieve the suffocation in his chest.
The mysterious man in the communicator hadn't replied for a long time, saying that he would return again before completing the mission, and He Xiao didn't dare to ask him what he was going to do.
Just like Xu Lang's speculation, although He Xiao does not have a high IQ, he is proficient in market calculations, and he is familiar with the intrigue between people, and he has long seen the mind of the mysterious person in him, but he is in the idea of using each other to maintain a balance.
He Xiao smoked a cigarette, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he already had a great grasp of the next way to live, and now he was thinking about the next mission, the eighth mission!
He had been preparing for the eighth mission for a long time, but in fact his long-term inaction caused the mysterious man to despise him very much, and even thought that Ho Xiao could be controlled by him.
And long before entering the mission of Room 7, he transferred his old mother away, and now he is alone, living only for himself.
Also fully prepared for the next mission.
At the same time, Li Kaifeng in room three was in an independent space, carefully observing room four with a pair of eyes.
"Things are exactly what He Xiao said, the third room I am in is at a disadvantage, and I can only flee downstream, which leads to a half chance that my action will fail.
But there was no way to do it, I didn't expect that after many years, the task would become so treacherous and inscrutable, and this type of task could already be called a difficult level back then......"
If someone can hear Li Kaifeng's words, they will be extremely amazed and even puzzled.
It was as if this young man, who seemed to be only in his early twenties, had an older soul hidden in his body, and he knew so much about the newspaper's mission......
Li Kaifeng's eyes under the frame look a little old, revealing a calm and gloomy that does not match his age.
