"Everyone should know the content of the task." Cheng Yun gestured to his left arm, "Sometimes, we can also see the difficulty of the current nightmare world from the time we need to survive. This time, we have a full five-day survival time. …is the longest I have ever encountered.”
Su Zimo quietly waited at the edge of the crowd, trying to reduce his sense of existence, just like some students who were absent-minded when they were in school, for fear of being too active and being called up by the teacher to answer questions.
After all, he doesn't know anything about missions or anything...
"The content of the task is relatively common, and there are not many words involved." Cheng Yun and other practitioners stretched out their arms and looked at the two lines of simple words again, "I have encountered tasks of similar difficulty before, always There will be large sections of mission descriptions, and there will always be people who can find useful information in large sections of text, but this time…”
"It doesn't mean that there is no useful information, but it just makes people feel ordinary, very ordinary, like a horror novel with a lot of tricks." Jin Lei's white lab coat doesn't seem to have any mystery on both sides, but there are two scalpels hidden on the left. It looks like a ghost weapon, but there is still a set of paper and pencil hidden on the right side. Some information has been written and drawn on it, which should be notes related to the task.
"The first sentence is... Pay attention to the mirror. The second sentence is... Looking for a chance for life?" Jin Lei said, rubbing her temples with a headache, "There are only ten words in total, and all eleven of us will be returned. One word away."
"I have asked Bai Man to close his eyes to cover the mirror in the hall." Cheng Yun also pointed to the decorative mirror on the wall that was covered by the tablecloth, "If the hall is our stronghold, then we should pay attention to it. It should be this mirror, but I can't guarantee that there are other mirrors or things that can reflect light in other parts of the villa, so everyone still has to be very careful."
"Brother Yun, have you seen what's in the mirror?" Xiao Huo, who was playing with a lighter, was curious about the mirror over there. After rubbing it, he moved to the edge of the mirror, and even wanted to hook up the tablecloth with his fingers. .
"Don't move!" Bai Man stopped with a serious look, "The most clear point in the mission is to pay attention to the mirror. This kind of low-level mistake can be completely avoided."
"I'm just curious." Xiaohuo never stopped playing with the lighter in his hand. It was fine at first, but after a long time, he found that the other party's hand movements were too frequent, "No way, I am a good person. Move, and the less you let it move, the more it tickles your heart.”
"Of course you can move." Cheng Yun said with a smile, "I didn't see it with my clothes, so go ahead."
"..." Cheng Yun's words seemed to block everything Xiaohuo wanted to say next, and the movements in his hands were also slowing down.
"Everyone, come and sit." Before everyone introduced themselves, Cheng Yun and his companions had already cleaned up the hall, so the chairs around the long dining table were still intact, and the sofa that had been tossed again could be used for experience. "It's not all bad that the task takes longer."
Because the trainers around are almost all seasoned and experienced, the only trainee who looks relatively immature is the little girl Wanling who hides behind Dr. Jin and doesn't say much, so after understanding the content of the task , Su Zimo also corrected his identity as a newcomer, and asked curiously: "Captain Cheng, why do you say that the longer task time is not a bad thing? According to the task requirements, we will be completely exposed to Specter in five days. Under the threat, it should be more dangerous."
"Just want to comfort myself." Cheng Yun also smiled helplessly, "If the survival time is a few hours, maybe Li Gui will chase after us relentlessly for a few hours. But if the survival time is a few hours For a few days, it is impossible for the Specter to stare at us all the time, and we will have time to gather here to communicate, right?"
"Of course, the present comfort can only be regarded as the calm before the storm. When a Specter of this intensity strikes, it may be difficult for us to escape." Bai Man looked around at the ten people around him, "The wisdom and strategy may not be so good at that time. Useful, everyone can fight against it, and if they can’t fight against it, run away as quickly as possible.”
"Is this hall equal to our sanctuary?" The man who claimed to be a lunatic and had a stubble beard suddenly raised his hand and asked with drooping eyes.
"There are no newcomers among the trainees this time, and naturally there is no sanctuary that the ghosts will never enter." Cheng Yun said this time with great certainty, "The purpose of gathering everyone in the living room is to let everyone take care of each other. After all, it is scary. Isn't the stupidest plot in the film splitting up when you know it's dangerous? Although the hall is not safe, at least we're all here, and the idea of our organization, Dawn, is to practice for everyone in the dark It brings the light of day, so I will do my best to help everyone.”
Cheng Yun's words are sincere. If there are any newcomers in the team who enter the nightmare world for the first time, maybe they will be moved immediately by these words, like finding a life-saving driftwood while floating in the sea. sense.
But Su Zimo quietly looked around from the corner of his eyes, but found that apart from the six members of Dawning, the other four practitioners seemed to have... unusually calm expressions, even expressionless, completely untouched.
However, when Su Zimo listened, he thought that Cheng Yun was a good person, and told himself not to forget the painful experience of "experienced people are not trustworthy".
Even Qi Xiaomin, who was in trouble together, and Du Xin, who had been at the table for more than two years, couldn't fully trust him, let alone Cheng Yun, who met for the first time? It is too early to put trust in the other party.
"That is to say, there is no other way than to sit here and wait." The madman directly found the single sofa that looked more comfortable, lay on the armrest, and said lazily, "It's a pity that this hall is prepared for the banquet. If the food is not spoiled, we don't have to worry about starvation."
"The food here has already rotted into ashes, and it's nothing to regret." Dr. Jin frowned again, "How do you know that a banquet is being prepared here?"
"Even if it is a big family, the plates and utensils prepared for meals and banquets are different on weekdays." As soon as the madman turned his head, he saw the corners where Cheng Yun had piled up the garbage on the dining table, "Forget it, just be me It's a wild guess."
"Oops!" Qi Xiaomin, who was standing on the side at this time, also whispered, "Before I came, I only took some self-defense and first aid things with me, but I didn't bring any food at all, let alone the very heavy water! "
"Old man, I also have a bad memory." The old man Fang Qin on the other side also touched his beard, "Although the countdown to enter the nightmare world will appear on the arm in advance, but when I go out to play Tai Chi with my old friend, I forget the time, except for this body. Clothes and this prop sword, I have nothing on my body."
"Five days..." Du Xin also looked a little embarrassed, "I haven't experienced such a long task, so I only brought some chocolate and compressed biscuits, which may not be enough for a few people."
"I… "
Su Zimo was about to say something when he saw that Cheng Yun and Bai Man over there had put their bulging backpacks on the long dining table, and they were calling for the others to come with them.
"We've all gone through missions for more than a day, so we'll bring more. In addition, this is one of the instructions that Dawning gave to our team leaders. Maybe someone has already experienced similar missions." Cheng Yun opened his backpack, While comforting, he said, "Although it may not be possible for eleven people to eat to their fullness, it should be possible for everyone to make do with maintaining their physical strength."
Saying that, Cheng Yun and Bai Man directly picked up the unzipped backpack and dumped everything in the backpack on the dining table in front of everyone. The amount of chocolate, candy and compressed biscuits was not small. , but the reserves of drinking water are still very unsatisfactory.
At the same time, Xiao Huo, Dr. Jin, Du Xin, and Liu Xu, who remained silent, also took out their backpacks and put more or less food on the dining table together.
Su Zimo was about to take off his backpack when he suddenly saw a black men's wallet falling on the ground. Judging from the location of the drop, it should be that Cheng Yun accidentally fell to the ground when he shook off his backpack just now.
"Captain Cheng, is this your wallet?" Su Zimo bent down and picked up the wallet on the ground.
"Ah, yes."
Because the wallet was open when it landed, when he picked it up, Su Zimo inadvertently saw a group photo of two people in the wallet. One of the photos was naturally Cheng Yun, and the other... It was also Su Zi. Someone Mo has seen before!
"Is this the He He in the legend?" When Su Zimo was stunned, Qi Xiaomin also glanced at the photos in the wallet, but because Cheng Yun put the wallet back in the next second, he could see the portraits clearly. It may be only Su Zimo alone.
"What?" Su Zimo was a little puzzled. The young girl he saw in the photo just now was clearly...
"Didn't you say that Captain Cheng is a famous wife-loving demon?" Qi Xiaomin blinked his right eye at Su Zimo, "Because Captain Cheng has the word 'cloud' in his name, and his wife's surname is 'He'. ', so he always shows off that he is called 'Where is the cloud', and many people know about it."
"Hahaha, I'm quite embarrassed to hear that." Cheng Yun smiled and stroked the photos in his wallet with unusually gentle eyes, "I always put my wife's photos in my wallet and tell myself that no matter what No matter what happens in the next five days, everyone must not give up, because our relatives, friends and lovers are waiting for us to go back.”
This time, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding practitioners who did not belong to Dawn finally became a little moved.
But the expression on Su Zimo's face was a little weird.
Because... The girl who hugged Cheng Yun intimately in the photo was obviously the Cheng Jingmeng he had met in the nightmare world before! Therefore, the girl not only does not have the surname "He", but also has the same surname as Cheng Yun.
Thinking of the girl who was tossed to the point of collapse by the "slave brand", and the expression of Cheng Yun's true feelings just now, Su Zimo knew that some of them must have lied.
If it was Cheng Yun who lied... What was his purpose
"call-"
Before everyone could react, a gust of wind suddenly blew through the closed hall space, half of the candles in the entire villa hall were instantly extinguished, and darkness descended on the nightmare world.
