Chapter 216: The Opposite
A quiet village, with a few crows chirping from time to time, summer is not over yet, but this early morning is a little chilly.
In the open old mansion, Xu Lang and other four executors were sitting around in the hall, eating dry food to prepare for the next action.
Gu Chunxia ate the biscuits with excitement and anticipation on her face, and looked at Xu Lang and Nameless from time to time.
She didn't expect that the first mission would be so easy to complete!
Although she has an ordinary identity and has no brains, she is not a fool, and through Xu Lang's words, she can feel that she is now nearing the end of the mission.
The way to survive has already been figured out, just wait for the continued verification.
So her mood can be described as excellent, especially the six executors, except for her who each suffers from "illness", she has only played a soy sauce role from beginning to end.
There was no danger, and it seemed to her that it was almost the perfect ending.
However, correspondingly, the physical fitness of several other people may not be able to keep up, and Gu Chunxia, who has not changed at all, may become the main labor force in the next grave digging.
But she is not worried about this at all.
In fact, before joining the newspaper, she was an assembly line worker.
Her family is at the bottom of society, her husband is an ordinary migrant worker, and her son is now admitted to university at the right time to use the money.
She and her husband together earn four or five thousand a month, and the rest is given to her son except for food and clothing.
Although I have worked all my life, I have a stable life.
After entering the newspaper office, she had inexhaustible material conditions, and she had sent an astronomical amount to her family anonymously, thinking that it would be enough for her son and husband to live for the rest of their lives.
If she didn't want to see her son marry a wife and have children, maybe her life in exchange for these would be worth it.
John on the other side is not very interested, perhaps his personality is very focused on the word promise, especially for deception.
But Xu Lang also did that in order to complete the task more securely.
He struggled between staying alive and persevering.
But his current inaction and non-refutation have already explained his attitude.
He cherishes his life, he still wants to live, but this does not prevent him from feeling indebted and guilty in his heart.
Human nature is like this, obviously it has chosen to deviate from its own principles, but it is struggling and heartache, as if everything is involuntary.
Xu Lang understands this kind of thing very well.
He also hates this kind of thing the most, it is too hypocritical.
Now for him, there is nothing to lose.
Xu Lang has been in the newspaper for more than two months, this is his sixth mission, during which he has experienced a lot and gained a lot.
But now, he has lost all that he has gained.
Everything is back to square one, the purpose of his first entry into the newspaper, the truth about the death of his parents and the roots of his childhood memory confusion.
Of course, now that he has gone through so many missions, he has understood that the tragedy of Villa 13 that year was simply a newspaper mission!
And then he will live, and then find out what kind of existence the newspaper is!
Xu Lang sat cross-legged on the ground, chewing bread in his mouth, and the gray and black tones in front of him were hazy and dim.
His situation has become more and more serious, his eyes can hardly see anything, the figures of John and Gu Chunxia in front of him are just two extremely vague black shadows in his eyes, if he didn't know in advance that they were sitting opposite him, maybe he wouldn't have guessed what was in front of him at all.
Xu Lang estimated in his heart that maybe in the next second, he would be completely blind.
This will be a serious obstacle to the next operation, and if the afternoon survival test is not successful, then they will have to participate in the midnight sacrifice.
And pretending to be a native of Peach Blossom Village, disrupting the sacrifice, and snatching the scarecrow, this series of actions, if he becomes blind, the difficulty is too high!
can only rely on Nameless and others.
In fact, thinking of this, Xu Lang faintly regretted it.
Rong Chuan should not be allowed to leave, he is the second only person in the force value of the executor, although some ideas are different, but he is still quite smart after all.
Rong Chuan's departure, in fact, did not find any key clues as Xu Lang originally thought, but only found Chen Wenjin and Chen Wenxing.
Xu Lang estimated the time in his heart, and about half an hour had passed since he replied to the text message.
It stands to reason that Chen Lingyun has returned to the stone room at this time, and Rong Chuan is facing a Chen Wenxing, not to mention that he is nine out of ten, but the odds should not be small.
But until now, he has not received any news.
If Rong Chuan's operation fails, or he is captured or killed, then the next sacrifice will be even more difficult.
Xu Lang frowned, his eyes floating at the two black shadows in front of him.
In the end, he set his eyes on Gu Chunxia's body, at this time Gu Chunxia was eating biscuits, not knowing what she was thinking, but with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Xu Lang was always a little puzzled.
Gu Chunxia didn't trigger any dead end, let alone get sick, so what does it mean for her?
Yes, for Xu Lang and others, the way to survive is a way to delay the illness and delay the outbreak of the dead end.
But Gu Chunxia is the only one among the executors who has never had any abnormalities, and the back is a burial disease, so if Gu Chunxia's scarecrow is buried, will anything happen?
But if she doesn't participate in the next action, Xu Lang and the others will definitely be teleported back to the society once they succeed.
So, what happened to Gu Chunxia......
Either she stays in Peach Blossom Village for three days, but she will definitely be killed by the Peach Blossom Village, or when the scarecrow is buried, she will have some abnormal changes!
When Xu Lang thought of this, he was suddenly a little confused.
This time, the mission setting is a bit strange, and it doesn't trigger the executor of the dead end, but it is even more disadvantageous.
Only when the dead end is triggered can the conditions for the normal completion of the dorsal scabies pathway be satisfied.
But now, there is no coffin, and there is no funeral, and it is impossible to trigger the dead end.
Xu Lang couldn't help but secretly rejoice when he thought of this, if he hadn't been suspicious at the beginning, triggering a dead end, maybe he would be in the same situation as Gu Chunxia now.
This is the insidious nature of the newspaper mission, where all the executors of the previous mission have to try their best to escape the dead end!
But this mission is the opposite, and an executor like Gu Chunxia who doesn't do anything will have a worrying ending because he didn't trigger a dead end.
Because of this mission, the way of life is the way to heal the way of death!
If there is no disease, how can there be a cure? Where did they come from?
Xu Lang's words were not spoken, although he had already figured all this out, but if he told Gu Chunxia, it might be counterproductive.
After all, there are still plans to be carried out next, and Gu Chunxia will become the main labor force.
Once she is distracted, her next actions may be affected.
If she has a few hours left to live, then it is better to use those hours to create more value.
Xu Lang closed his eyes, hid what he was thinking, and began to take a nap.
And Gu Chunxia is still glad that she is the only one who is not sick, and she doesn't know that she has no way to live.
Soon after, a rooster crowed in the distance, and a little sunlight began to shine into the gloomy old mansion, reflecting on half of Xu Lang's face.
Xu Lang slowly opened his eyes, and the situation still did not change.
On the contrary, he felt a little more at ease in his heart, and he didn't get better, at least not for the worse.
The four executors were also full of energy after resting.
Nameless came to Xu Lang and asked softly, "Isn't it time for us to act?" ”
Xu Lang nodded, "The morning time should be safe, the people of Peach Blossom Village will prepare to make scarecrows and sacrifice work, let's go to the grave mountain first and start digging the grave!" ”
When a few people heard this, they didn't have any objections, so they had to bow their heads and pack their things.
Xu Lang listened to their movements and waved his hand, "Don't worry, we still lack one thing." ”
"What?"
"Tombstone!"
"Grave, how can there be no tombstone? We don't have a lot of time, but it's best to be able to meet the minimum standards of the funeral. ”
Nameless frowned, "But where are we going to find the tombstone?" ”
Xu Lang smiled slightly, "We dismantled the door panel and engraved the names of several of us, and there should be little difference between using wood without bluestone slabs." ”
Hearing this, Nameless and the others looked at the door at the same time.
The double-door wooden door is more than enough to make four tombstones.
Xu Lang handed his knife to Nameless, his eyes couldn't do this kind of thing anymore.
Nameless and John, armed with knives, began to take off the wooden door along the door frame, and Gu Chunxia was on the side.
And Xu Lang, who was always standing in place, thought for a moment, "Let's do 6 of them, after all, there are still Rong Chuan and the two of them." ”
Nameless and others don't talk nonsense, in fact, doing this kind of thing as a tombstone is very simple, and you don't need to pay too much attention to it, in fact, it is enough to have a card of similar size.
Not long after, the original tombstone was transformed into six wooden plaques of similar size.
Nameless held the hilt of the knife upside down in his left hand and began to engrave his name on the wooden plaque.
"Nameless Tomb", a living person carved words on his tombstone, which looked very weird, made Gu Chunxia grin.
On the contrary, John was a little interested on the side, and he did not know much about this unique tradition.
"Nameless, your handwriting is very beautiful, and you can also engrave my wooden plaque."
"What's your full name?"
"John King."
It didn't take long for the tombstones of the four people present to be made, but the tombstones of Rong Chuan and Huang Hui were not engraved, which was also deliberately done by Xu Lang.
Nameless didn't ask, Xu Lang must have a purpose in doing this.
Gu Chunxia pulled away her large backpack and packed the six tombstones into the bag, and several people were ready.
John held Xu Lang's arm, and the four of them walked out of the old mansion in parallel.
But at the moment when a few people stepped out of the old mansion, in addition to Gu Chunxia, Xu Lang, Nameless, and John felt a sharp pain from the inside of their bodies almost at the same time!
It's like the blood in the whole body is ignited and boiling, especially the skin is red, and the whole body is like a furnace.
But the pain lasted only a few seconds before it came to an abrupt end.
Nameless noticed that something was wrong somewhere in him, and ripped his clothes open, and the left half of his body had all turned into straw!
His broken right hand, although not out of control at this time, was completely strawized.
But when he looked up at John, he found that his situation was even more terrifying!
