Chapter 291: Final Decision
(PS: This chapter is a two-in-one chapter)
The man with glasses who figured this out couldn't help but sweat like rain, and his body, which was already trembling, was even more shocked by the speculation in his mind, the only strange thing was that although he was trembling in place, after about ten seconds, the man with glasses who was originally pale fell into a long silence after looking back at the face in the shadow of his eyes again.
If you don't consider that the current mission time is in a state of stopping, the man with glasses is really not short in silence this time, and for a while, he maintained a half-kneeling posture while scanning the shadow behind his eyes and re-observing the surrounding environment.
There is nothing special about the environment, except that the space in the floor is clear at a glance due to the bright light, and the overall situation is still a seemingly ordinary business building interior scene, after observing for a long time, Lin Ping, who had not made any action before, moved, he moved again, first got up from the ground with a blank face, and then walked straight to a room at the end of the corridor, and although the snow-white door of that room was printed with the same words as the surrounding offices, the words on the door were no longer the three words office.
………
Dada......
Hengfeng Building is indeed the tallest building in the whole city, and the height of 20 floors is enough to show that this building is extraordinary, and the hard work pays off, although they never dare to take the elevator, but with the help of the restoration of lighting equipment and the sufficiency of visibility, after running for a long time, Su Yu and the four of them still arrived at their destination a few minutes later, the 20th floor, on two legs alone!
"Whew! Call! Call! ”
"Huh, I'm grass, I'm really tired, what kind of fool built the building so high? I really want to greet his ancestors for eighteen generations...... Whew......"
At this moment, accompanied by a series of somewhat rapid breathing sounds and Sun Hu's words full of dissatisfied curses, the four executors who have stopped running and are collectively located at the 20th floor staircase are all tired enough without exception, Sun Hu and Xia Ying are okay, don't look at the bald man scolding there, but he can actually hold on with the same strong physical fitness as Xia Ying, but Su Yu and Li Ruoxuan are a little different, although these two people do often exercise their physical fitness in the hell airliner, And the physical fitness of the two of them is indeed much stronger than before after a long period of perseverance and exercise, but these ten or twenty layers of running up in one breath still make the two of them tired enough.
Because of this, if Sun Hu, who has a strong physique, and Xia Ying, who has excellent physical fitness, are just out of breath, then Su Yu and Li Ruoxuan, who have been running for a long time, are already sweating, and at present, the two of them are indeed holding on to the wall and breathing in place with their hands on their knees.
Of course, tired and tired, the reason why they were willing to ignore their physical strength, and didn't even rest halfway and rushed here quickly was still very clear about their purpose, sure enough, after barely breathing, Su Yu, who had finally recovered, was the first to walk towards the center of the corridor, and in the same way, seeing that Su Yu had moved, Li Ruoxuan, Xia Ying, and Sun Hu, who held the same purpose, also followed.
The next thing was very simple, they didn't even have to look for it, and as soon as they arrived in the middle of the corridor on the 20th floor, everyone immediately found the thing they had been looking for for a long time.
At this moment, on the wall of the corridor in front of the four people, a black machine half embedded in the wall and half exposed on the outside appeared in the field of vision of everyone present, the machine is not large, although the appearance is not common, but the uneven groove in the center that is obviously half the size of a palm is enough to prove that this is a punch card machine, which belongs to the working machine used by security personnel to confirm the number of patrols when patrolling, and in the initial video preview, the middle-aged security guard did swipe the card on this machine before he died.
Seeing that the target was found, without waiting for Su Yu, who was watching this machine, to make any moves, Sun Hu next to him immediately reached out and rummaged through his pockets, not to mention, under this flip, in just a few seconds, the bald man took out a black magnetic card similar to a bank card from his left trouser pocket.
"Hey! The ghost spell really doesn't deceive people, and there is really an extra magnetic card in the pocket, if I'm right, I think this thing should be used to swipe in front of the machine. ”
As he spoke, the bald man's hand holding the magnetic card also subconsciously pasted it towards the swipe of the machine in front of him, however, ......
Syllable!
For some reason, at the moment when Sun Hu was about to stick the magnetic card in his hand on the machine, not only was he the first to find the punch card machine, but Su Yu, who was the first to propose to go to the 20th floor to punch in, suddenly reached out and grabbed Sun Hu's wrist.
"Brother Sun, wait first."
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
Su Yu's move to stop Sun Hu from punching in is actually a bit surprising, after all, the purpose of the four of them coming here is to check in, and the purpose of punching in is to try to break the phenomenon of time stopping, not to mention that the person who first proposed this strategy was indeed Su Yu himself, so after finding that his wrist holding the card was stopped by the other party, for a while, Sun Hu, who was not only stopped by the young man, asked with a puzzled face, Even Li Ruoxuan, who has always been calm, and Xia Ying, who has always been alert in the mission, both cast slightly suspicious eyes on Su Yu, and threw themselves at this handsome young man who had a strange expression since he saw the punch card machine.
Of course, although the three people around him were puzzled, Sun Hu did directly ask about the puzzle, but in fact, these three people were all people who understood Su Yu, whether it was Su Yu's personality or the style of behavior in the previous tasks, the three of them all understood without exception, seeing that the handsome young man just stopped Sun Hu from punching in and did not answer, in silence, Li Ruoxuan, Sun Hu and Xia Ying all had a tacit understanding and did not continue to ask, but instead stood in front of the machine with the same silent attitude and Su Yu without any movement.
During this period, Xia Ying also looked down at Su Yu and observed the surroundings of the corridor vigilantly during his contemplation.
Getting back to the point, let's not mention what Li Ruoxuan and the others were thinking, and not talking about the suspicions in their minds about Su Yu blocking Sun Hu from punching in, in fact, the reason why Su Yu stopped Sun Hu was not that he found any danger or abnormality, nor that he planned to give up the experiment of punching in, but from the reintegration of this series of experiences in his mind during the process of going upstairs, after all, since the moment he entered this seemingly difficult C-level mission, Su Yu's brain has never stopped thinking, He has never rested for even a second, and this is precisely the reason, so before making some kind of decision, Su Yu must be cautious!
And this so-called integration refers to Su Yu's personal discovery and all the changes and processes encountered since he entered the mission world, including the failure of the bracelet, the failure of the mobile phone, the time stop, Ding Cunhao's exclamation of ghosts, and a series of events such as the experience and discovery during the power room, as I have said many times before, as early as the first time I watched the video preview in the No. 1 cabin, Su Yu has always been very concerned about this C-level mission!
I care, I care incomparably, and the root cause of my concern is precisely the bizarre death of the middle-aged security guard in the original video preview.
For the executor who is often struggling on the verge of life and death, it stands to reason that there is no need to make a fuss about ghosts to kill the living through special means, after all, the ability of ghosts is myriad, generally speaking, the executor only needs to grasp enough clues to find a way to live, indeed, this is indeed true, but ...... This time the video preview was very different, and Su Yu faintly had a feeling that for the first time, he actually felt that the death threat did not come from the ghost itself! Rather, it comes from the executor himself!!
Yes, this is the feeling that came out of Su Yu's heart after watching the video preview, everyone entered the mission world, and everything that happened next really had a lot of weird and incomprehensible places everywhere, through some observation and analysis, in a certain aspect, he himself found out the amazing phenomenon of time stopping that had never happened, and followed this incomprehensible phenomenon to connect this phenomenon with the punch card machine mentioned by Zeng Teyi in the mission information, It all makes sense and has a certain amount of logic, at least to the rest of the group and even to fellow veterans.
But in Su Yu's personal opinion, all of the above is still imperfect, or the above is just a small aspect, at least until this moment, no matter how he observes and thinks, there are a few doubts that he still hasn't figured out.
The first point, why did Ding Cunhao, who has now lost his trace, say that there are ghosts behind everyone? Since there are ghosts, how can ghosts, with their almost murderous and cruel nature, not kill people when they are close to the executor? They were even allowed to run to the 20th floor in one go, and even went to the power room to restore the power of the building? Can ghosts be so kind? Will the executor be so laissez-faire to move around the building with impunity?
The second point is what happened to Li Ruoxuan's inexplicable sense of uneasiness when he was in the power room? Li Ruoxuan himself couldn't give an explanation, after all, Li Ruoxuan and his own thoughts were the same at that time, the logic was clear, and the clues obtained were indeed constantly refuting Li Ruoxuan's sense of unease, and in the end, relying on the coin, he and Li Ruoxuan, who couldn't understand it, still chose to restore the lighting system of the building, having said that, even now Li Ruoxuan and Su Yu have not forgotten this matter.
As for the last point......
If the above two items can be put aside and then temporarily suppressed on the grounds of breaking the time stop first, then this third point is precisely the real reason why Su Yu didn't dare to punch in immediately after sorting out his thoughts!
Because, Su Yu remembered one thing.
In the original video preview, the middle-aged security guard ...... It wasn't long after swiping the card in front of the punch card machine that he died!!
Why is it okay for a middle-aged security guard to walk down so many floors during the patrol? Why was he killed by the Black Shadow Ghost attack not long after playing the card?
Is this a coincidence? Or is it some kind of hint of the task?
Or ...... It's okay when you don't clock in, but when you clock in, death is coming!?
This is a creepy guess!
Let's not consider whether the real situation is like this, once Su Yu noticed this in the past, not to mention that he was really uncertain, he wouldn't even try!
Seeing this, some people may not be able to understand it, and they will definitely think of a somewhat contradictory question in their hearts, that is......
Since Su Yuming knew that swiping his card in front of the punch card machine was very likely to bring disaster to himself and the whole team, why did he propose to go to the punch card machine on the 20th floor when he was in the lobby on the first floor? Isn't this self-defeating? Isn't that inconsistent?
No, it's not contradictory, it's not contradictory at all, the reason is that even if he knows this, he knows that he has to take risks when he punches in, but Su Yu still has to do it under the impetus of the actual situation, he has to go to the 20th floor without any basis for analysis to check in, even if he knows that punching in will bring danger to everyone!!
The ghost spell will never release some meaningless information in the mission information, once it is released, its information must have a lot to do with the task itself, yes, Su Yu still clearly remembers the fact that he had mentioned separately in the mission information, 'There is a punch card machine on the 20th floor, and the executor with a security identity can punch in front of the punch card machine', why? Why is this specifically mentioned in the mission information? And it's the kind of plain information, non-mandatory information, the task information just says that the security guard can punch in front of the punch machine, but it does not stipulate that it must punch in, which is the charm...... It's really incomprehensible.
As for why Su Yu had to try when the task was not mandatory to punch in? The reason comes from the fact that Su Yu himself was also the first to perceive the stop of time.
Time has indeed stopped, and if the failure of the bracelet and mobile phone is not enough to prove it, then why has not even the smallest time display device been found in the entire building from beginning to end? If that wasn't enough, the moon and the clouds around it, which hadn't changed for a long time, hadn't even moved even a minute, and were almost frozen for a minute, were the final proof.
What does it mean for time to stop? This means that this ghost mission, which is ostensibly only for one night, will never end!
It is conceivable that once time stops, the executors who are confined to the building by the rules will not want to go out in this life, and the end will only be death, even if the ghosts hidden in the building do not kill them, it will not be long before they, the executors, will still starve to death in this closed edifice.
Early death is death, late death is also death, do nothing is a dead end, but make some attempts and maybe there is a glimmer of life.
Yes, this is the key reason why Su Yu proposed to go to the 20th floor to check in even though he knew that it would be dangerous to swipe the card, and this is also the only reason why Li Ruoxuan, the team leader, was willing to take his suggestion after understanding Su Yu's intentions.
Of course, if you say that, the truth is true, but ...... When the matter came to an end, when Sun Hu was about to check in according to Su Yu's logical analysis, Su Yu, who was becoming more and more uneasy in his heart, still subconsciously stopped Sun Hu's actions under the impetus of fear.
Su Yu knows that this card must be swiped! But...... But he was still afraid!
"Woo......"
Gradually, after thinking about the past after being silent for a long time, Su Yu, who finally only came to the conclusion that the card must be swiped, was entangled to the extreme, perhaps because of the deep uneasiness in his heart or perhaps because he had used his brain too much for a long time, Su Yu, who had been thinking with his head down, suddenly showed a painful expression, and slowly squatted down with his head in his hands while letting out a groan.
No one expected that Su Yu, who was fine just now, would react like this, seeing this, Li Ruoxuan and Xia Ying, who happened to be on the left and right sides of Su Yu, both stretched out their hands at comparable speeds, and grabbed the young man's shaky body before Su Yu squatted down, and at the same time, two inquiries full of concern and even the same content came straight out of their respective mouths:
"Su Yu, what's wrong with you?"
"I didn't ...... I'm fine. ”
Fortunately, Su Yu's body is indeed fine, and the painful performance just now is just an instinctive reaction prompted by the desperate situation that he really can't think of an answer, first he broke free from the support of the two while smiling bitterly, and then waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then Su Yu, who still only had analysis and thinking about this thing in his mind, also set his eyes on the punch card machine in front of him again.
In fact, Su Yu was indeed fine, having said that, when he noticed the young man's frowning appearance and still slightly painful face, whether it was Li Ruoxuan or Xia Ying, the two people on the left and right sides of Su Yu still felt the fatigue of the young man in front of him for the first time.
Seeing this scene, both of them had different complex thoughts in their hearts, but unfortunately...... It's a pity that they can't help it, or who among the few people present doesn't want to find a way to survive as soon as possible?
For a while, Su Yu, Li Ruoxuan, Xia Ying, and Sun Hu all stood in place in a complicated and inexplicable state, thinking about different things, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn, on the surface, everyone had miraculously not encountered any danger after entering the building for so long, but in fact, it was ......
The increasingly uneasy sense of crisis has intensified in the hearts of several people!
"Whew!"
In the end, under this dilemma that he was really not sure of but had to do, after another moment, the original tangled and complicated expression on Su Yu's face who took a deep breath was replaced by solemnity, and he gritted his teeth, and he made the final decision!
The young man first took out a black magnetic card from his pocket that was exactly the same as Sun Hu's hand, and after scanning the surrounding environment,
He slowly pasted the magnetic card in his hand towards the punch card machine in front of him......
