Volume 3 The Forbidden Place Chapter 45 Strange from the ordinary
Lu Xiaozhi was just an ordinary employee of an ordinary company before he joined the newspaper, and for most ordinary people like this, it is very difficult to see the scene of death once in a lifetime.
But just now, Ruan Fei was in front of his eyes, without warning, he was suddenly dismembered, leaving only a stump on the ground, such a bloody scene frightened him to the spot on the spot, until the hot blood sprayed on his face before he finally reacted, and let out a scream of exhaustion.
That's right, the screams that Xu Lang and the others heard didn't belong to Ruan Fei at all, and Ruan Fei was killed cleanly without even making a scream.
Lu Xiaozhi and Li Feng were so frightened by such a scene that they were completely thrown out of the clouds that they had previously despised the task and evil spirits, and the feeling of death was not comfortable, and the feeling of waiting for death was even more sad!
Li Feng's performance was slightly better, he turned around and ran away in a daze, and he didn't even call Lu Xiaozhi, but fortunately, Lu Xiaozhi also reacted and hurriedly followed Li Feng upstairs.
They only have one thought now, they can't stay on the first floor anymore.
And the murderer who killed Ruan Fei in an instant was the seemingly harmless old man, after killing Ruan Fei, he glanced at Li Feng and the two of them had no intention of chasing at all, otherwise the two of them would not have had time to run out at all.
Running crazy to the top of the stairs, Lu Xiaozhi and Li Feng dared to look back to see the situation, and they wished that their parents would give birth to two more legs for themselves, until they saw the figures of Xu Lang and others, and they were overjoyed.
Li Feng, who had thought that these veterans were arrogant and selfish, also regarded Xu Lang and the others as his greatest hope at this moment, but he didn't expect the evil spirit to be so terrifying, and he killed Ruan Fei so quietly under his nose, completely subverting his cognition.
The two of them were full of emotion in their hearts, but the first expression when they saw Xu Lang and the others was extremely excited.
The executors on both sides finally converged, and Xu Lang knew that things were not good when he heard the scream, and sure enough, the first thing Lu Xiaozhi said was "Ruan Fei is dead".
Xu Lang hurriedly pulled the two to a safe position on the 3rd floor, and ordered Li Feng to inform himself of the situation in detail.
The reason why he chose Li Feng instead of Lu Xiaozhi, who was the first to speak, was also out of consideration. Obviously, although Li Feng is arrogant and insidious, he is smarter and more rational than Lu Xiaozhi, and he is more likely to find some clues.
Li Feng gasped and kept looking back to see if the evil spirit had caught up, and was stunned when he heard Xu Lang's words, he didn't expect Xu Lang to take the initiative to ask himself, and he didn't speak for a while.
Lu Xiaozhi on the other side looked a little out of control, and when he heard that Xu Lang didn't plan to escape, he stopped when he brought it here, and wanted to start analyzing clues? He stood there and roared: "The evil spirit will chase and kill us all when you can't say when, how can you still have the heart to chat!" ”
Xu Lang glanced at him, he didn't even bother to be perfunctory about this kind of idiot.
However, Zhu Zixing explained to him very kindly: "If the evil spirit will chase you, it is impossible for you to run up from the first floor, you must know that the evil spirit kills people for a second, how long did it take you to run up?" It can be seen that there are trigger conditions for evil spirits to kill people, and Ruan Fei's death is likely to be due to something he did before, so he died. Brother Xu is now trying to use your mouth to get information, what kind of behavior is a dead end! ”
A large paragraph of clear words, not only analyzed the killing law of evil spirits very thoroughly, but even explained Xu Lang's intentions perfectly, Xu Lang couldn't help but pay more attention to Zhu Zixing, this is a newcomer with strong plasticity.
I have to say that after Zhu Zixing entered the mission, he not only became a lot bolder, but also had a clearer mind, and his mind turned very quickly for individual clues and intelligence, and he gradually had a trace of the demeanor of a veteran.
Lu Xiaozhi, who is also a newcomer, is 108,000 miles away, listening to Zhu Zixing's explanation, although he is not noisy, he is stunned, obviously his brain has been frightened and dulled, and the only remaining thinking ability can't even understand the explanation.
Xu Lang didn't care about him anymore, and pushed Li Feng, who was a little stunned, and didn't understand why this man was stuck in place.
Of course, Li Feng was not stupid, he was the first to react and run away, and he would definitely not be so bad. He was stunned just now because Xu Lang's question made his mind spin.
Because he now knew that the evil spirit was the old man, and the old man followed them to Jiang Hui's room, Xu Lang and the others must have found something in the room.
The executors were divided into two teams before, one team stayed behind, and the other team went upstairs, Li Feng didn't believe that Xu Lang and the others didn't find anything upstairs, but seeing that the four of them seemed to be in a group.
"Now that Ruan Fei is dead, Lu Xiaozhi is a waste at all, and when I have no use at all, I will definitely be abandoned by this group of veterans without hesitation!"
"They don't mean to exchange information with me at all, and now they want me to tell them more about the situation? Since I'm going to tear my face sooner or later, I might as well use this to get some useful clues! ”
Thinking of this, Li Feng no longer pretended to be crazy and stupid, and said to Xu Lang: "Xu Lang, what did you find upstairs?" ”
Xu Lang didn't expect Li Feng to say this kind of thing in the first sentence, and immediately understood what he meant, it seems that Li Feng is planning not to see the rabbit and not scatter the eagle. After looking left and right, the current 7 executors, the team of four people upstairs, it is best for Xu Lang not to die.
The only ones who can be exchanged for clues as sacrifices are Lu Xiaozhi and Li Feng, so Li Feng can't give up now.
Xu Lang then said lightly: "I will tell you all the information I have obtained so far, but now you will tell me word for word anything that happened downstairs after we left!" ”
Li Feng lowered his head and rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but glance at the situation downstairs, it was quiet as usual, and the old man even cleaned the blood stains in the hall leisurely.
"Now the situation is still unclear, one more person is one more way, I don't believe that Xu Lang will abandon me without faith." Thinking of this, Li Feng carefully recalled the situation at the time and began to speak.
"At that time, after you just left, I originally wanted to observe the hall to see if there were any clues, but because Lu Xiaozhi said that it was better not to act rashly before the large army came back, a few of us have been sitting on the chairs in the dining room and doing nothing.
We sat like this for a long time, but nothing happened, and we didn't do anything.
But smelling the aroma of the food, we couldn't help but want to eat a few bites after not eating all night, so halfway through eating, suddenly Ruan Fei didn't know what he saw and was scared, and collapsed directly from the chair to the ground, we were just about to ask, when we saw the old man suddenly appear in front of Ruan Fei out of thin air.
Ruan Fei didn't even shout, and in the blink of an eye, he directly became a pile of minced meat, and his death was extremely miserable, and then we came up to find you. ”
Li Feng recounted the situation downstairs in one go. Xu Lang and the others all fell into thinking one by one, it stands to reason that they didn't have any abnormal performance at all, and even only did the action of eating.
It's not even a dead end to eat, right? And the same three people ate together, why was Ruan Fei the only one killed?
Xu Lang frowned and said, "Think about it carefully, if Ruan Fei has any abnormal behavior, or is it different from the two of you?" ”
Li Feng also went through it in his mind when he said it, it stands to reason that these actions are normal, and they shouldn't be counted as dead ends. Hearing Xu Lang's question, he fell into memories again.
Lu Xiaozhi on the other side looked stupid, trembling in Zhu Zixing's arms, let alone thinking.
Li Feng still didn't understand a little, and said, "It's no different...... Huh? There is really a difference in saying that it is different! ”
"What?" Xu Lang realized that Li Feng's next answer was likely to indicate the direction of the dead end.
Li Feng replied categorically: "He eats faster than us!" ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"When I was eating, I observed the surrounding situation, and I saw that when Lu Xiaozhi and I were only halfway through eating, Ruan Fei had almost eaten the rice on the plate."
When Xu Lang heard this, he began to ponder, muttering "I've eaten to the bottom...", this is the only difference that Ruan Fei showed, but what can this mean?
Li Feng then said: "Yes, he eats quickly, and his way of eating is different from ours. ”
"Oh? What's the different way? ”
"Like me and Lu Xiaozhi eating, we all eat the food in our mouths casually, while Ruan Fei's way of eating is to gather all the existing food on the plate to his mouth and pick it up in his mouth.
I've seen this way of eating before, and it's a little not very gentle, but this way of eating is the cleanest, and it basically won't be wasted, and the plate is eaten by him. ”
Li Feng can be said to have expressed Ruan Fei's appearance of eating quite vividly, and Xu Lang already had this picture in his mind.
But then Xu Lang's mind suddenly brightened, yes, it is the word "light can shine on people", is it because the smooth plate illuminates Ruan Fei's face, like looking in a mirror.
And the eating method and speed of Li Feng and Lu Xiaozhi will not be possible at all, so they will be saved from death.
The most favorable proof of Xu Lang's guess is that he clearly remembers that everything on the dining table is ceramic, only the plate for rice is stainless steel, if it is clean and bright, it can indeed roughly map the facial features of the person!
And there is not a single mirror in the whole castle, even the windows are covered with stickers, and there is a situation in the bathroom, just ask a family castle that there is not even a mirror, isn't there a strong sense of disobedience?
All these manifestations are the hints given to them by the mission!
Xu Lang hurriedly informed everyone of this conjecture.
Everyone is shocked, looking in the mirror, even objects that can map the general facial features will trigger a dead end!
Li Feng and Lu Xiaozhi on the side immediately broke out in a cold sweat, just one step away, if they were the first to finish eating, it was likely that they would die now!
Xu Lang then took them to Jiang Hui's room, and sure enough, he opened the pillow, and there was a closed dressing box pressed underneath, Jiang Hui was probably when he woke up in the morning, out of the habits of women, he instinctively looked in the mirror, and then was killed by the old man!
Thinking about it this way, isn't the "human" blood character she left behind the beginning of the calligraphy and painting of "Mirror"?!
Xu Lang hurriedly shared all the things he had experienced, as well as the current clues, to the rest of the executors, the current known dead end is not to be able to say his name, and to look in the mirror!
