Chapter 244: Tailgating
"This mission makes it clear that the positions of the first batch of deaths will be replaced by the pending executor, and it is clear that you are the replacement of the last executor who died in this room!
Then, the mouth of this ruined ditch must have been left behind by the man after trying to escape! ”
He Xiao stretched out his hand and touched the broken wall, then measured it with his hand, and was surprised to find that the size of this hole could be drilled into the size of his head, although it would be a little more laborious, but it was not so difficult!
He reached into the hole and touched the back of the hole in reverse, where there were also some signs of destruction, but it didn't look like it was smashed by a hard object, but it looked like it was hit by something.
"But since I was able to come in, it means that even if he escaped from this room, he would still be dead!" He Xiao looked a little discouraged when he looked at all this.
"Tell me, how big is the hole?" The mysterious man's tone was as calm as ever.
He Xiao looked at the hole in front of him again, and said a little strangely: "This hole doesn't seem to be small, at least my head can go in, but it will take some time." ”
"Fool, this is the hole that has been dug out, you look the other way!" The mysterious man's attitude was extremely bad, as if he was extremely impatient that He Xiao didn't understand what he said.
He Xiao was scolded by this, and finally reacted, hurriedly turned around, came to the hole in the south wall, looked at the gurgling water, and compared the size of the hole on both sides.
finally replied: "The hole at the entrance of the north wall is much smaller, and if I want to enter with my figure, I will probably have to peel off a layer of skin, not to mention stuffing my head in, and it is estimated that the skin on my face will be rubbed off!" ”
When He Xiao said this, he ran back to the hole in the south wall, looking at the large area of wounds that had been opened up, and this time he finally understood the meaning of the mysterious man.
"In this way, the executor of this room originally spent an extremely painful price and forcibly climbed into this hole, but he still couldn't get rid of the fate of death!"
The mysterious man listened to He Xiao's muttering, and began to fall into analysis: "The door is directly opposite, it is impossible for the dead executor not to see this, I don't believe that he chose to spend a huge price to drill a hole when he already knew that the door existed!" ”
"What do you mean ......"
"Obviously, he must have discovered something before he died, causing him to have a huge fear of the iron gate, or maybe he somehow realized that his situation was extremely dangerous, so he chose to go into the hole!"
"Hiss......"
He Xiao gasped, if according to the thinking of a normal person, the door means a passage to escape, and this person does the opposite, it must mean that the door is not a way of life in this mission, but a way of death?
He spoke his guess, and the mystery man nodded uncharacteristically slightly, agreeing with him.
"There is a certain possibility of what you said, but now we have too few clues to draw conclusions too early, but now look at the external clues represented by the iron gate, the possibility of breaking through from the inside is very small, and our focus is still on this hole that has been dug up!"
Hearing the words of the mysterious man, He Xiao was a little uncertain, in his opinion, the last executor also got into it but died without a place to be buried, so why bother?
However, he didn't dare to question these questions in front of the mysterious person, so he had to fully obey his orders.
"You said before that you must be held in a room at the newspaper office during the pending phase, and today is the first day of the mission?"
"The next day! It should be less than three hours before it starts! ”
He Xiao was extremely sure of this, but while he was waiting, he couldn't stand a small nap for a while, but he didn't expect to be teleported in during the time he was asleep, which also caused him to remember the exact time at all.
"There's no reason why the newspaper would send in a pending person long after the executor has already died, which means that there is a good chance that someone died today! That's why you smell a fishy smell. ”
He Xiao nodded again and again when he heard this, and the mysterious man continued: "Then if you judge by the number of days, maybe you are not the first executor to enter the task in the second batch, or maybe there are other people in other rooms, who are also the second batch!" ”
"I can't judge the pattern of killing, and we still don't know exactly how many people are in a room like this, and how many people die! But judging by the absolute secrecy of the time, and the arrangement of the space, this should be extremely important! ”
He Xiao then asked, "So how do you want to study this problem?" ”
"Hehe, I have put forward two key points, in terms of action, we will focus on this hole, and the law of killing is in time and space, what do you say?"
He Xiao completely understood what he meant when he heard this, but he still subconsciously said: "You really want me to get into this hole?" ”
"If you can't get through the door, you can only take this way!"
"However, we don't know if the last executor died because of this path, in case I realize that something is wrong after I go in, it will take time to climb out again......."
Before He Xiao finished speaking, the mysterious man directly scolded him and interrupted his tirade: "If you want to explore the way of life, you have to face risks, not to mention that you have just entered the mission now, how can there be danger!" ”
"The water flows from south to north, haven't you ever wondered why it flows the way it does?"
He Xiao was stunned when he heard this, without any words, and the mysterious man's tone was quite impatient, "Obviously, the room you are in is a slope, high in the south and low in the north!" The water is constantly flowing from upstream to downstream, and with so many executors being held in solitary confinement, your rooms must be lined up in this direction! ”
"I want you to go in now to see where you are and if there are any executors downstream!"
He Xiao lowered his head and weighed for a while, the expression on his face was extraordinarily rich, and it seemed that he was extremely afraid of this tattered hole.
But after thinking about it for a while, I decided to follow the mysterious man's orders and get in!
He Xiao's skills are average, not agile, and at the same time in various concerns, and he does not have the same temperament as Xu Xingzhou at the beginning, the whole person is lying at the mouth of the ditch, looking at the darkness in front of him, and he doesn't know how to start.
The urging of the mysterious person in his ears was endless, He Xiao took a deep breath, turned half of his body sideways, put one hand on the ground, and at the same time sent his head into the hole.
Although this hole has been destroyed and no longer looks so narrow, it is still a big challenge for an adult male like He Xiao.
After trying a few times, He Xiao felt that the right side of his face was always stuck in the fracture of the hole, and he was afraid that the black dot communication instrument in his ear would be peeled off and lost, so he had to pull out again and carry the black dot into his arms.
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, and you have to pass this hurdle today!"
After taking a few deep breaths, He Xiao gritted his teeth and prepared to get into it completely in one go!
Adjust your posture again, press the ditch on both sides with both feet, put your right hand on the ground, and start to send your head into the hole little by little!
His experience was much smoother than Xu Xingzhou's, Xu Xingzhou paid a great price to get to this point, and although He Xiao was rubbing his right cheek violently at this time, the pain was already bearable.
In fact, after the entrance of the cave was dug before Xu Xingzhou, he could barely enter the people, and when he died, he was forcibly caught out of the cave by the evil spirit!
This caused his body to slam into the already broken hole again, making the wound even wider.
All this made He Xiao a great convenience, although the friction pain on his face, although it was still very strong, but it did not make He Xiao seriously injured.
After overcoming the fear in his heart, He Xiao completely drilled his head into the independent space almost in half a minute!
And once the head can get in, then the next body will be more relaxed.
I saw He Xiao slightly adjust the posture of his body, first stretched his arm in, and felt that he was about to finish, He Xiao's heart became more urgent, and he rushed out of the hole directly with his shoulder, and then his whole body came out of the hole.
He hurriedly rubbed his shoulder, which had been scratched by the sharp wall, and the right side of his face, which was a little painful, and then put the black dot communicator in his pocket behind his ear again.
"I've gotten out of the room now!"
"Oh? It's fast, what kind of environment are you in now? ”
Not only the mysterious man, He Xiao himself did not expect to get in so easily and smoothly, hearing the mysterious man's question, he began to look at the environment under his feet by the faint light.
"It's a small room of about four or five square meters, surrounded by walls on all sides, and there is nothing unusual about it, except that it seems to be the junction of the center of the two rooms, and the ditch also flows downstream from here!"
"So there are other rooms downstream of you?"
He Xiao nodded, and looked at the mouth of the ditch in the south wall, where the dim yellow light flickered, which was extremely eye-catching in this completely dark and independent space.
"The hole in the south wall where I'm now, there are lights there, and it should be the room downstream of me!"
He Xiao said, and began to slowly stand up and walk towards the south wall, but then there was a pain under his feet, and a hard object was stepped on under his feet, making a subtle clicking sound.
He leaned down, squinted his eyes slightly, and then turned pale, this is a severed hand that has completely lost flesh and blood!
The mysterious man seemed to sense his reaction, "What's going on?" ”
"There's... There's a severed hand! ”
"Don't worry about it, it should be left by the struggle of the last executor."
"No, there is no flesh and skin on this hand at all, only the skeleton remains, and it looks like it has been here for a long time!" He Xiao's eyes were full of struggle, and he kept falling backwards.
And at this moment, He Xiao suddenly heard the sound of violent friction between clothes and stones behind him, at the hole in his original room, as if something should not appear, following He Xiao's footsteps, is approaching!
