Chapter 199: The burning rhinoceros at sea 12┃The self-help method of newcomers and the experience of old people

Views:

Use the phone to explode and set the rhino horn on fire.

With the experience of the painting "Human Studies", the old members are more confident.

"This is indeed a good idea," Shao Ling nodded, "but there are advantages and disadvantages."

"How do you say it?" Liu Yanlei was still active, but in the eyes of people with a heart, his behavior was purely to cover up his guilty conscience.

As for the guilty conscience, of course, it has something to do with the vision last night and his girlfriend.

"The advantage is that if anyone who ignites the horn will die, this method can at least prevent us from dying because of this," Shao Ling explained, "but the disadvantage is that if only the person who ignites the horn can see the ghost, or The clues related to the seal, then we may not be able to see it with this method.

"So now the problem is, if you want to save your life for a while, you may not be able to get clues to leave the painting, and if you want to get clues that you don't know if they exist, you will most likely sacrifice your life.

"So whether to use this method or not, you have to make a decision."

Needless to say, this is yet another dilemma.

"Anyway, I won't order rhino horns." Liu Yanlei said.

"I don't order either." Yu Long said, looking at his girlfriend Fang Fei, "The two of us are already risking our lives when we go to the sea. We can't let us do all the dangerous things."

"If that's the case, let's just ignite the rhino horns by exploding the phone tonight," Shao Ling said. "At least we can get some clues about the rules of death. Then, let's discuss how to deal with the incident tonight. possible illusions."

Unconsciously, Shao Ling seemed to control the discourse power and leading direction of the entire "team". The newcomers accepted it quite naturally, and the old members didn't make any more comments.

Ke Xun sat side by side with Mu Yi, holding one of his hands and gently pinching his slender fingers.

"Since we know that everything that appears at night is an illusion, it's fine as long as we don't believe it." Liu Yanlei said, his eyes glanced at Chen Xinai intentionally or unintentionally.

"But we must also consider whether the illusion tonight will escalate. For example, if the true and false are mixed, how do we distinguish it?" Qin Ci said.

"Then let's agree on a secret code. Whether it is true or not, we will find out by trying it with the secret code." Luo Yi came up with an idea.

"Don't forget, the illusion can read your memory. You have made an appointment with the password now, and it can be read by the illusion at night." Liu Yanlei said.

"Then what to do... According to this, I can't believe any of you people, and I can't believe it anymore." Luo Mengchou said.

"The reason for this is that we want to use our strength to get out of danger, and we think each other will fall into danger," Shao Ling calmly analyzed, "So, if we want to not be deceived by illusions, we need to Try to ensure that you are in a safe situation, and the second is to try to reassure each other, as long as we can not rely on our companions and can reassure our companions, we will not be easily used by illusions.”

"It makes sense." Liu Yanlei nodded again and again, "I have an idea, since falling into the sea at night will kill us, then we can figure out a way not to fall down, and we're done? Let's tie the waist with a rope, and then tie the other end of the rope to the side of the boat. Or on the mast, the length is shortened, no matter what the person in the illusion asks us to do, don't untie the rope?"

"Isn't that a cocoon?" Yu Long retorted, "Tie yourself up, if there is any danger, you won't be able to run! What a stupid operation!"

Liu Yanlei sneered: "Please use your brain to think, if there are dangers other than falling into the sea, the illusion doesn't have to spend so much effort to confuse us, how easy is it to stab us directly in the dark? From the beginning to the end last night, Illusions are just bewitching us with their voices without touching us, so I have reason to believe that the way the behind-the-scenes forces in this painting kill people is an illusion, and there is no way to touch us with real things.”

"What if the way of killing tonight escalates?" Yu Long scolded.

Liu Yanlei choked, but soon found the reason: "If you upgrade as you said, even if you don't tie yourself in the dark, you will still be killed, the probability is half and half, I would rather choose one more layer. Insurance!"

"Then do whatever you want!" Yu Long snorted coldly.

Liu Yanlei looked at Shao Ling, hoping he could express his opinion. Shao Ling pondered for a moment and said, "We don't have to force other people's opinions. If we think it is useful, we might as well try it. After all, we can't guess the rules of death tonight. Whether it is the same as last night, we can only try to think about some preventive measures.

"Tie yourself with a rope so that you don't fall into the sea, it is also a method, everyone can brainstorm.

"I also have a suggestion. Although hiding in the cabin proves useless, we can try to hold hands with each other. As long as we don't encounter force majeure, try not to let go. Maybe it will reduce the chance of being deceived by illusions. Everyone. Any other suggestions?"

"Cut your ears?" Luo Yan said, "This way you won't be able to hear the phantom imitating the voice of an acquaintance."

Shao Ling nodded: "It's also a way, is there anything else?"

"Make some simple drowning prevention tools." Fang Fei spoke, "Whether it is useful or not, be prepared."

"Then ask the two of you to help make it, and I'll start the fight." Shao Ling looked at her and Yu Long.

"I can help too." It was Xue Ge who spoke.

"So, do you have any suggestions?" Shao Ling looked at the old members.

Compared with the positive speeches of the newcomers, the old members seem a little restrained.

Very tacitly, none of the old members were arguing, and Mu Yiran was the first to speak at the right time: "My suggestion is, don't rely too much on tools, the important thing is to think according to the situation." For example, "Shadow".

"Until the last second, never give up any effort." For example, "Human Studies". Ke Xun added.

"Try to keep a calm and composed mind." For example, "Bai Shi". Qin Ci answered.

"Meticulous and comprehensive observation." For example, "Breaking Ground". Zhu Haowen.

"..." Wei Dong looked at everyone, then looked at Ke Xun, and finally ended with a loud voice, "Trust your partner!" For example, "Faith".

"Yes!" Luo Meng mingled with the old members.

"Don't be long-winded when it comes to the empty space, it's all nice to say." Liu Yanlei snorted sarcastically.

"This is experience." Zhu Haowen replied coldly.

"The experience of giving other people's blood?" Liu Yanlei sneered.

"The experience of watching others die." Zhu Haowen said coldly.

Liu Yanlei was choked again, and when he wanted to argue again, he saw that the old members had already stood up one after another: "The discussion is almost done, let's continue to check the hull." He filed out of the room.

In the afternoon, the division of labor continued. Some people went to sea, some people made marine life-saving appliances, and some people checked the cabin.

This time, Ke Xun and Mu Yiran were in charge of checking the bilge below the deck, and Luo Xun had to follow him.

"Brother, brother-in-law, tell me, how about we hide in the bottom cabin at night? That way we won't be afraid of falling into the sea." Luo Yan said.

Ke Xun thought for a while, then looked at Mu Yiran: "I think it's fine, anyway, if everyone can't escape the illusion, we'll be the same everywhere, I tried it on the deck last night, and today it's under the bottom deck. try."

Mu Yi nodded, and carefully checked the contents of the box. Ke Xun stood beside him and illuminated him with his mobile phone. From time to time, he stretched out his hand to rub his waist—always bent over to look through things, whose waist was longer will be sore.

Luo Yao watched for a while, sighed and sighed: "You two have a really good relationship, people say that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they are separated from each other in the face of disaster. Like the two of you, you can still encounter such terrible things. It is so enviable.”

"There's nothing to envy," Ke Xun said with an expressionless face, "Even if we're like this, there will always be times when we're not together."

"Ah? Do you have times when you're not happy?" Luo Meng was surprised, "What's the matter?"

"There's always an unconscious lightbulb on the side." Ke Xun looked at him indifferently.

Luo Yao: "... Brother and brother-in-law, please leave me first as a respect." After speaking, he ran away.

All afternoon, everyone still had nothing to gain.

After dinner, Ke Xun and Mu Yiran were in charge of setting up the mechanism to detonate the phone. Ke Xun did not donate the phone he was using, but took out his backpack, which had become a burden, and took it out. A small domestic mobile phone of a few hundred yuan came.

The dozen or so cheap mobile phones purchased in the previous purchase finally have their place. Ke Xun did not give up this idea, and this time he brought all the mobile phones to the painting.

Luo Yu made the proposal to hide in the lower cabin at dinner and got unanimous agreement.

After dinner, everything was arranged, and the sky was already dark. Everyone entered the lower deck cabin and bolted the door leading to the stairwell to the lower deck from the inside.

A room for storing things was cleared out. Everyone entered, plugged the door, and put on a simple life jacket made by hand. Liu Yanlei tied his waist with a rope, and tied the other end firmly to the beam of the ceiling. , After his persuasion, Chen Xinai also connected herself with ropes and beams.

There was still some time before midnight, and everyone sat in a circle on the ground.

"Although it is impossible to predict whether tonight's illusion will escalate," Shao Ling said in the darkness, "but please remember two points: no matter who you hear or see in the illusion, or what the other party says, don't believe it; Whatever happens, we can't help but leave the place, we must try to control it, don't move - of course, the premise is that the danger is all fictional, and if there is a danger that must be avoided to avoid it, Please decide for yourself."

Everyone responded, and the dark room fell silent for a while.

Waiting for death to come is not good, and waiting for death in a dark, silent room is even more torturous.

Liu Yanlei is the one who is most on pins and needles. Since this morning, his mind has been very chaotic. Apart from the death shock, there is also a quarrel with his girlfriend Chen Xinai.

Of course he couldn't admit that it wasn't her who came to confuse him in last night's vision.

Although he has no heart for her, the person he loves and trusts most is not her.

Liu Yanlei has always been reluctant to admit this, but last night's vision mercilessly made him realize his hypocrisy and self-deception.

Liu Yanlei's mood is getting more and more chaotic, and his mind can't help rummaging through many fragments of his life in the past 20 years, during his student days, during his work, his first love, a blind date, a few girlfriends he talked to, and his unsatisfactory life. All kinds of calculations, struggles, lies, tears for survival and success.

Unconsciously, time passed quickly, and it seemed that someone said, "It's almost there, prepare carefully."
