Chapter 308: Lin Ping's decision
(PS: This chapter is a two-in-one chapter)
"Huh? Are you saying that your girlfriend Zhao Xiaomei was killed by a ghost while on the run? The same goes for Ding Cunhao? ”
At this moment, after listening to Wu Wei's narration in front of him, Lin Ping still didn't have any surprised reaction, not only was he not surprised, but he didn't even show the sadness that his teammate should have when he died, just like it was not his teammates who died but the inconsequential cat and dog, the glasses man's reaction was so bland, however......
However, it was precisely his calm reaction that made Wu Wei, who finished narrating the process, more and more worried.
Inexplicably, the young general manager of the company thought of some of the things that Ding Cunhao had said to him and Zhao Xiaomei before, the guy with glasses in front of him did feel different from other veterans, different from Su Yu who seemed to be quite kind-tempered, different from Li Ruoxuan, who looked quite generous, different from Sun Hu who seemed to have a hot temper, different from Xia Ying, who looked arrogant, and even different from Ding Cunhao, who was as timid as a mouse, this man named Lin Ping gave him a sense of coldness that he had never had, of course, The reason why Wu Wei has this feeling is largely due to Ding Cunhao's initial remarks, but it is undeniable that the man with glasses who is currently standing in front of him does have an indifferent attitude towards the death of his teammates.
This inevitably made Wu Wei, who had finished narrating the process of half true and half false, feel more and more uneasy.
Yes, how did Zhao Xiaomei and Ding Cunhao die Wu Wei knows in his heart, not only counting, but the deaths of these two people are inseparable from him, and even he was killed directly or indirectly, his girlfriend Zhao Xiaomei is just that, at that time, he only kicked each other in order to escape as soon as possible, as for Ding Cunhao's death, the company's young president could not tell the truth anyway, in the face of the inquiry of the glasses man, although he was timid, Wu Wei, who was more thoughtful than ordinary people, immediately made up a set of lies that could be used to fake the truth, And then it was told in a half-truth.
As for Lin Ping, after listening to Wu Wei's narration, he really didn't react, he just asked in a rhetorical tone, and when he heard the other party ask again, Wu Wei's face couldn't help but change slightly, having said that, thanks to the darkness of the surrounding environment, Wu Wei, who knew that the other party could not detect anything, also nodded and replied with a slight roll of his eyes: "Yes, that's it...... It was ...... by ghosts like this. Woo...... Xiaomei, my Xiaomei...... If I could have looked back at the time, it wouldn't have happened......"
Speaking of this, Wu Wei can be said to be more and more sad, so that in the end, it is even more obvious that he cries a little while expressing pain, and it seems that he is really a good man who values love and righteousness and is quite persistent to his lover.
Wu Wei was feeling sorry and sad alone, but Lin Ping, who had listened to the other party's narration, always maintained an indifferent and calm appearance, in the dark, he couldn't see the expression on his face and couldn't detect what he was thinking in his heart, for a while, the man with glasses stood in the dark and dark power room with Wu Wei, who was sad in front of him, and didn't move for a long time, until Wu Wei, who had been sad for a long time, gradually stopped sobbing, and Lin Ping, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth to Wu Wei after scanning the surrounding environment: "Then ...... now"
Dada......!
However, before Lin Ping could finish the words in his mouth, a series of footsteps from far and near suddenly came from the top of the stairs near the stairs outside the door!
The sound of footsteps could be clearly felt in the silence and darkness, and it was clear that if it was possible to remove the ghost, then the people who were currently going downstairs were ......
At this moment, not to mention Lin Ping's heart tightened when he heard this string of footsteps, he still didn't wait for Lin Ping to react, but he never thought that Wu Wei in front of him would change his face at the moment he heard this string of footsteps! Not only that, at this moment, he was even more reminded of the footsteps he had heard when he was in the utility room on the 10th floor not long ago, it was the footsteps that were extremely close to humans that caused him, his girlfriend and Ding Cunhao to run out of the hiding place, and they were also deceived by the sound of footsteps, and the three of them who exposed their positions would end up like this, although Zhao Xiaomei and Ding Cunhao died, it is undeniable that the reason for all this came from the footsteps that came from the original footsteps outside the utility room!
Ghosts can disguise their voices to deceive humans!
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of the well rope, and the moment he heard the footsteps for the second time, Wu Wei, who had personally experienced being deceived by ghosts, was almost scared out of the this time, and without waiting for the glasses man in front of him to react, Wu Wei, who had already regarded it as a ghost deception trap in his subconscious, immediately said to Lin Ping with a pale face: "Don't ...... Don't go out! It's a ghost! It must be a ghost! ”
It's a pity that Wu Wei's stop was not adopted by Lin Ping, of course, in fact, when he heard the footsteps, Lin Ping's first reaction was similar to Wu Wei's, he was also worried that this was a deception trap created by ghosts, but unlike Wu Wei, compared to Wu Wei, who knew little about this black shadow ghost, he knew the conditions for the black shadow ghost to kill and excluded the possibility of the ghost trap for a moment, obviously, although the black shadow ghost in this mission was as cruel as most ghosts, but it was a little special, This black shadow ghost can only kill people in the environment where there is light and shadow, and the environment he is in is completely dark, and the power supply equipment behind him has just been destroyed by himself, so he is ......
So will the shadow ghost, who knows that he can't kill people in the dark, still make this kind of sound to deceive the executor? What's more, in the clues he obtained, there is no need to look for this black shadow ghost to kill people, as long as you have a shadow, then the black shadow ghost can find and kill you in an instant, which means that it is pointless to hide in this ghost mission.
As for the reason why Wu Wei and the other three were deceived by the black shadow ghost at the beginning, the main reason was that the three people happened to be in the lightless utility room at that time, and there was a brightly lit corridor outside the door
Lure the trio out of the utility room on their own initiative.
In this way......
There are a lot of descriptions, in fact, all of this is a momentary thought in the mind of the man with glasses when the footsteps sounded, as I said before, let's not talk about the respective analytical abilities of the veterans, just mentioning the prudence and mastery of logic Lin Ping is not inferior to anyone, without a logical brain, he would not be able to live in the ghost spell space until now, sure enough, based on this logical basis, but also based on the characteristics of the black shadow ghost and the affirmative idea of hiding meaninglessly, he first pushed away Wu Wei, who was trembling in front of him, The next moment, Lin Ping, who had a solemn expression, pushed the door out like this......
Squeak ......
Perhaps the sound of opening the door was also very clear in the silent environment, as soon as Lin Ping walked out of the power room, the gradually approaching footsteps above also stopped instantly, not only Lin Ping, who was currently standing at the top of the staircase, did not move, but the owner of the footsteps that sounded quite close above also seemed to be in a state of stopping, and the atmosphere became extremely tense for a while, but ...... After a moment of silence, Lin Ping, who first thought of something in his mind, took the lead in saying a sentence while looking up at the dark stairs above:
"I'm Lin Ping."
Da Da Da ......
Next, an unexpected situation happened, the glasses man's voice just fell, and a few seconds later, the footsteps that had stopped sounded again, and as the distance gradually narrowed, soon, two familiar figures came straight to the glasses man.
The corridor is indeed very dark, but for the executor who has been in the dark environment for a long time, after the distance is close to a certain extent, the two sides still recognize each other for the first time, and the two figures who walked in front of Lin Ping are not outsiders, it is Li Ruoxuan and Xia Ying, who have just come to the 7th floor.
As soon as they met, Li Ruoxuan and Xia Ying, who confirmed that the people in front of them were Lin Ping, couldn't help but stagnate, the two really didn't expect to meet the man with glasses who had been missing for a long time here, but there is a good saying, the conversation between smart people is often very simple, just as Lin Ping was guessing in his heart where the two of them who had not seen him for a long time were going to go, Xia Ying, who looked the man with glasses up and down, said first: "The lights in the corridor on the middle floors and the power outage of the building just now...... You did it, right? ”
Seeing Xia Ying asking, Lin Ping simply nodded decisively and replied, "I did it......"
Lin Ping, who nodded, paused slightly, and at the same time, a pair of eyes under the lenses also stared directly at the steel pipe held in Xia Ying's hand, and then continued: "As for the reason, I think the two of you already know, right?" ”
In fact, this is not the point, for Lin Ping, who met his teammates here, what he is currently concerned about is neither what the other party was doing before nor intend to knowingly ask about the meaning of the two notices, and he doesn't even have the intention of asking about the whereabouts of Su Yu and Sun Hu, now he only cares about the purpose of Li Ruoxuan and Xia Ying hurriedly going downstairs, so naturally, after answering Xia Ying's inquiry, the man with glasses with squinted eyes inevitably asked the two of them his questions:" What I've done in the meantime has been simple, nothing more than finding and trying to turn off the main power, and what I really want to know at the moment is what are you guys going to do now? ”
Squeak ......
"Ahh Mr. Li, it turned out to be ...... It turned out to be you! That's great! ”
At the same time, when the three veterans outside the door were talking, perhaps because they realized that the person who came was not a ghost, Wu Wei, who was originally huddled in the power room, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he ran out of the power room under the urging of joy, not only that, but especially at the moment when he saw Li Ruoxuan, the company president who had been afraid for a long time was as happy as seeing his relatives, finally! Finally found Li Ruoxuan, with this captain who took care of him quite a lot, at least in Wu Wei's opinion, his safety will inevitably be further guaranteed, but what he didn't expect was ...... Just as he walked out of the power room, he began to express his joy to several people in words, except for Li Ruoxuan who nodded slightly at him with a concern for his face, Lin Ping and Xia Ying next to him didn't even look at him as if he didn't exist.
Getting back to business, let's not talk about Wu Wei, who was ignored by a few people, staying in place and being embarrassed, getting along for a long time, whether it is Li Ruoxuan or Xia Ying, they are both familiar with the character of the glasses man and his style of acting, but it is precisely because both sides are familiar with each other, as soon as they met, seeing that the glasses man did not take the lead in mentioning Su Yu and Sun Hu or Ding Cunhao, Li Ruoxuan and Xia Ying, who had tried to find a few people in the process of going downstairs to no avail, already understood that Lin Ping had not seen anyone else, and in desperation, Li Ruoxuan, who was more and more worried about the safety of several people, did not mention this matter much, but was a little concerned about Wu Wei beside him, obviously, putting aside Ding Cunhao, who was as unknown as Su Yu and Sun Hu, Li Ruoxuan could not have known that Wu Wei had always been with Zhao Xiaomei, but ......
But why is there only Wu Wei who is staying with Lin Ping in front of her at this moment? If Wu Wei happened to meet Lin Ping, then where did Zhao Xiaomei, who was inseparable from Wu Wei, go?
To be honest, the above problems are actually only Li Ruoxuan, who is the captain, will care a little about, for Lin Ping, who has always been indifferent, and Xia Ying, who has never paid attention to newcomers, but now only cares about the safety of Su Yu and Sun Hu, it can be seen at a glance from the ignorant reaction of these two people after seeing Wu Wei.
Of course, even Li Ruoxuan, who is the captain, can take care of everyone in the team, but the above questions are only flashing in her mind, and the only thing she is currently most concerned about is to implement and test the survival plan as soon as possible, so as soon as Lin Ping's question came out, Li Ruoxuan, who was in a hurry to the hall on the first floor with Xia Ying, would not talk nonsense, and in the next time, as the first Li Ruoxuan to find an uncertain way out, Immediately, to make a long story short, she told Lin Ping the explanation she had said to Xia Ying before.
………
"What!"
Sure enough, just like Xia Ying when she was on the rooftop at the beginning, Lin Ping was also surprised after listening to Li Ruoxuan's personal thinking logic and the plan to survive that he didn't know if he could still implement, for Lin Ping, as early as when he watched the video preview on the Hell airliner, he thought like other veterans that there must be a simple way to survive in this C-level ghost mission, but he never thought that the way to live would be like this!
Simple, really easy! Even as simple as the executor finds this way out, the whole mission will not be in danger! However, as Li Ruoxuan just narrated, such a ghost task that can be easily passed by removing a brand exists in the blind spots of human thinking, in the corners that any normal person will be ignored, this is indeed a trap set for the loopholes of human thinking, if Li Ruoxuan's analysis is correct, then wouldn't these executors become a group of stupid pigs who kill themselves!?
At present, although Li Ruoxuan has thought of this way of life, he ...... As the other party said in his narration, although the authenticity of this life path is high, it was ignored by everyone at the beginning of the task because of his busy thinking, and now he is executing this life path like a remedy, God knows if it will work? After all, these people are already in the building, and those who leave the building will be wiped out according to the task, in this case, Li Ruoxuan and Xia Ying's behavior of hurriedly returning to the first floor is really a gamble, and they put their lives on the survival plan that accounts for half of success and failure.
If that way of life is still valid, then the person who leaves the building to transfer the sign will not be obliterated, but if the way of life is invalid because the executors all enter the building, then doesn't it mean that whoever goes out to transfer the sign will die!?
But if you don't carry out this plan because you are afraid of death...... Li Ruoxuan's theory that the ghost restriction will be gradually lifted with the passage of time also threatens the life and death of everyone, not to mention this matter, after the female captain said this, the glasses man who was originally still shutting down the power and wasting time and then consuming it until the end of the task in one breath also inevitably beat a drum in his heart.
The Shadow Ghost once lifted the restriction after the Enforcer punched the card, and that was the Kill Limit, and God knows if the Shadow Ghost will have the ability to kill in the dark as the time draws towards the end of the mission? This inference is by no means groundless, after all, the ghosts in the ghost missions in the past are almost like this, the longer the task drags on, the smaller the restrictions on the strength of the ghosts will be, until they disappear completely, if that is really the case, if the black shadow ghosts will gradually lift all restrictions over time, once even the darkness can't shield the black shadow ghosts from killing, then doesn't it mean that this ghost thing that can lock the location of any living person is enough to kill everyone in just a moment!?
At that point, the enforcer who is restricted by the rules and bans the item and never has any countermeasures or countermeasures...... Is there any other ending than being wiped out by the group?
The reason is like this, and the logic is even more so, Li Ruoxuan and Xia Ying would rather risk half of the chance of success and failure to go to the first floor to gamble on their lives, yes, compared to the inference that the ghost thing may gradually lift the restrictions, the failure rate of only 50% is considered low.
What if the plan succeeds? Once that path is still viable, the rewards will undoubtedly be great! This means that the performers can survive the ghost mission, but unfortunately, the success rate is still only half of the time.
At this moment, in this silent and dark corridor on the 7th floor, except for Wu Wei, who was in a daze, Li Ruoxuan and Xia Ying both had complicated faces, and Lin Ping, who had just listened to each other's explanations and plans, stood in place for a long time without reacting, maybe the atmosphere was too depressing, or maybe he thought of something in the silence, Lin Ping's face was blue and white for a while, and his Sven face occasionally twitched slightly, and at the same time, seeing that the man with glasses did not react for a long time, Li Ruoxuan, who knew Lin Ping quite well, almost understood something in his heart, no nonsense, no hesitation, and after glancing at Xia Ying, he immediately greeted: "Xia Ying, let's continue downstairs." ”
"Wait!"
But who would have thought that as soon as Li Ruoxuan's voice fell, Wu Wei, who had already regarded the female captain as a lifesaver, planned to follow, and did not wait for Xia Ying to retract the disdainful eyes that were obviously revealed when she looked at the man with glasses, and the man with glasses who had a tangled expression before and looked obviously afraid to go to the first floor instead called the three people who were about to leave.
The three people who were stopped turned their eyes to the glasses man under curiosity, except for Wu Wei, who was ignorant, Li Ruoxuan and Xia Ying, who knew the essence of the glasses man's fear of death, both showed suspicious looks in their eyes, obviously, the two knew that with the nature of the glasses man who was afraid of death, it was impossible to follow them to the first floor to adventure, not to mention that Lin Ping's obvious cowering performance just now was also expected by the two, which is why Li Ruoxuan, who was in a hurry, did not greet the glasses man to go downstairs from beginning to end, but... …
Why did this obviously scared of death stop them when they were about to leave?
At this moment, perceiving the gaze cast by Li Ruoxuan and Xia Ying on the other side, somehow, Lin Ping, who had a frightened and cowering expression just now, actually regained his original calm expression, first slowly swept his gaze over Li Ruoxuan, Xia Ying and Wu Wei, and then, Lin Ping, who was expressionless, reached out and supported the gold-wire glasses on the bridge of his nose while saying to a few people in a calm tone:
"I'll go with you to the first floor......"
After a pause, without waiting for a few people to answer, the man with glasses who maintained a calm expression continued to add in his calm tone:
"And after arriving on the first floor, I will do the work of walking out of the building and changing the sign."
