One thousand two hundred and forty-fifth chapters: life-threatening pursuit(1/2)
"Cheng Ying, and Chen Xiaoyao, how much do you two know about the Western God of Death?"
Um?
Suddenly, while Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao were spreading out on both sides to observe and alert, Tang Meng, who had been thinking with his head down, suddenly raised his head and asked the two people an incomprehensible question.
The problem of death seems to have nothing to do with the way of life.
"Here, I, Sister Tang Meng, don't look at me. I know nine out of ten about Western culture, but I know nothing!" Sure enough, let's not talk about why Tang Meng asked such an unclear question. When he saw the female doctor
Looking at himself with a questioning look, Chen Xiaoyao was suddenly embarrassed. He shook his head wildly to express his ignorance. In fact, it was true. Because he had been living in remote mountains all year round, Chen Xiaoyao had become a person who was both familiar with Eastern culture and proficient in it under the careful guidance of his master.
The Maoshan Taoist priest in Chinese legend, but his understanding of Western culture is shallow, so shallow that it is almost equivalent to nothing. If you ask about the King of Yama, Taoist Chen will definitely talk about it with foam at the mouth, and he can tell you from the Ten Palaces of Yama
Luo talked about the Five Hundred Judges in one breath. He could even tell the names of the Five Hundred Judges and their past and present lives clearly! However, at this moment, faced with the question of the God of Death that obviously belonged to Western legends, Taoist Chen was dumbfounded on the spot!
Fortunately, nothing is absolute. When Chen Xiaoyao shook his head in embarrassment and expressed ignorance, when Tang Meng subconsciously looked at Cheng Ying again, at the international killer who traveled all over the world and even spoke four languages, she got the answer.
, just for a moment, Cheng Ying nodded as if she had noticed something and responded: "Well, I have some understanding of Western culture. Regarding the God of Death, I can explain it briefly. Of course, I am only speaking from a Western perspective.
The angle will explain it to you.”
"The God of Death, as the name suggests, refers to the god who controls death. He is also one of the gods that has been popular in Europe from ancient times to the present. The God of Death lives in Hades. He looks like a skeleton wearing a black robe and holds a large gun in his hand.
to the exaggerated giant scythe. It is said that the scythe has the ability to take away the soul of any human or other life, while the God of Death is completely in charge of the lifespan and death of all living things in the world. This is rumored, but it is true.
Except for the dead, living people cannot see the God of Death. The appearance of the God of Death is just a rumor that has been circulated since ancient times. In fact, the appearance of the God of Death is not important. What is important is the essential meaning of the God of Death. If you exclude
Rumors only look at the essence, and the God of Death may not necessarily have a body, because it is a law in itself, a worldly law that represents death, which is the final death that no one can escape."
In order to save the world as much as possible, in the face of Tang Meng's sudden question, Cheng Ying kept it short and explained to him in the simplest and clearest way what death is and the essential definition of death. In the same way, it was with the help of Cheng Ying's
Tang Meng understood this explanation, and now solved the key question that blocked his thoughts, that is...
The meaning of death!
The meaning of the God of Death is death, which is the endless darkness that loses life in the eyes of humans. Darkness represents despair, the despair of no life. Since this is the logic, then the curse deliberately designed the sculpture to look like the God of Death. It can be explained.
The appearance designed to resemble the God of Death can also be explained. This is a metaphor, foreshadowing the dark ending that humans must accept no matter what. Facing the God of Death, unless God comes in person, everyone will die, and the ending for everyone will always be
Death, the difference is nothing more than sooner or later.
but!
Just like everything in the world often has two sides, just like the day is always night, the two ends of Tai Chi are always yin and yang. Although the curse uses a death statue to imply that the executor will eventually die, it also uses
This allusion reminds the executor, and then provides the executor with a hint of a way out of the manor!
……………
Time passed bit by bit, disappeared bit by bit, and gradually developed in an extreme direction with an unstoppable momentum. In the end, Li Tianheng became more frightened and frightened, and his whole body became cold.
At the northernmost end of the manor, next to a motor near the rockery, Li Tianheng made no move. He did nothing, said nothing, just stood there in a daze with Kong Ling on his back, staring blankly at the machine. While watching, sweat broke out on his forehead.
, then the corners of his mouth twitched and his face turned pale!
The cause of his cold sweat and pale face was the abnormal change of the motor. The machine light that was supposed to flash green went out. In short, it can be understood that the generator returned to the state of insufficient power again!
Yes, in order to save the lives of himself and his teammates, Li Tianheng has been focusing on the motor level since the beginning of the game, and then frequently manually charged many motors scattered in the manor. During this period, he experienced a lot, including being chased by hawks.
kill
The inexplicable death happened again and the thrilling rescue of Kong Ling happened. After warning Shen Jian severely, Li Tianheng continued to work with the unconscious girl. It was obvious that no matter what he had experienced during the period, nothing had changed his persistence in charging the motor.
, even in
Even with one person on his back, Li Tianheng still tried his best, and still shuttled back and forth in the manor to work and recharge. It is worth mentioning that because he had learned about the props from Shen Jian, in addition to frequently looking for machines to recharge, he paid extra attention
He actually found a black box while passing through a certain section of the road. The box indeed contained a game-specific prop, which looked like a pair of black gloves with unknown meanings. Although the appearance of the gloves was unremarkable, the gloves had strange functions.
Finally, the charging speed can be doubled!
It stands to reason that with this functional prop, Li Tianheng must be even more powerful. If nothing else, at least the charging speed will be greatly improved. However, even though he is wearing these magical gloves that can increase the charging speed, the motor is indeed very powerful under the effect of the gloves.
Almost full, the green light flashes, but the strange thing is...
Half an hour ago, when Li Tianheng had to repeatedly pass a certain road section in search of a motor, that is, when he passed the area with a fully charged motor, he discovered a strange phenomenon, that is...
The motor that I had filled with my own hands an hour ago had its power attenuated for some unknown reason. The power was inexplicably reduced by 10%, and it once again became a motor that was not fully charged!
Perhaps he had some subconscious perception or a warning from his intuition. Looking at the motor, Li Tianheng was shocked, but he did not continue to charge. Instead, prompted by a certain thought, he continued to move nervously, searching for and checking all the items he had filled.
Then, he was dumbfounded, and the reason why he was dumbfounded was that the green light went out and collectively went out. All the motors that had been filled with his own hands now all have reduced power, and they all degenerated into a state of dissatisfaction with the power!
Due to his active and hard-working work, Li Tianheng clearly remembers that he has filled 6 motors from the beginning to the present, 6 motors, a total of 6 motors. If nothing happens during the period, he will rely on the few motors he has filled, plus other executions.
Despite all the busyness of the operator, it is not a big problem for the motor to be full. Even if there is interference, we can actually still get ahead of 5 o'clock.
The principle of charging all 10 motors before arriving is correct, but the result is exactly the opposite. What is the result? The result is that not only the motors he handles all have reduced power, but other motors are also almost the same. No matter where he goes, everything he sees
The motors are all in a state of dissatisfaction with the battery, and the specific reduction value is basically 10%.
It feels as if the executor has been working in vain all night, and everyone, including himself, is doing useless work!
Li Tianheng was not sure whether he was doing useless work, so with that unwillingness and relying on the pair of magical gloves that could increase speed, Li Tianheng gritted his teeth and got busy again, filling up all the motors he saw on the way, filling up the inexplicable energy.
10% decrease in battery capacity.
About half an hour later, when Li Tianheng returned to check the motor, he found...
These motors, which he had filled up not long ago, have once again lost power and become full of power again!!!
At this moment, staring at the motor in front of him, and facing the strange phenomenon of always losing power no matter how many times it is charged, Li Tianheng's mouth twitched, his face turned pale, and a large amount of cold sweat fell down his forehead like rain, dripping continuously to the ground.
Yes, there is no need to explain. Li Tianheng understood. His intuition told him that you don’t need to be busy or charging, because the machine is not fully charged. Even if you are full, the machine will not be charged again after a while.
The battery is low again!
what does that mean?
It's very simple. It means that the executor can no longer fully charge the 10 motors scattered in the manor. No, not 10 motors, but 1 motor. There is only one result of being unable to recharge, and that is to wait for death.
The time came to 5 o'clock, and then it was wiped out in despair.
Thinking of this, Li Tianheng felt the chill, and was shivered by the gradually increasing chill. He suddenly regained consciousness and instinctively lowered his head, looking down at his watch.
As far as the eye can see, I can see that the time has reached 4:50 am without realizing it! It is about to enter 5 am!
10 minutes, the last 10 minutes, only 10 more minutes will pass. At that time, everyone will be punished for being unable to leave the manor and will be wiped out. To put it simply, it can be understood that everyone, including himself, only has 10 minutes left.
live!!!
And the only motor that can connect to a way out and open the door can never be fully charged...
Plop.
After watching the time and recognizing the reality, in the next second, there was a popping sound, and Li Tianheng collapsed on the ground. After that, he sat blankly without responding. Only his lips squirmed slightly. During the squirming, a sentence came out of his mouth.
:
"It's over, I'm dead..."
As mentioned above, after confirming the cruel reality that the motor was destined to be unable to be filled, and with little time left for the mission, and carrying Kong Ling, who was still unconscious, Li Tianheng slumped on the ground in complete despair. In fact, he was not the only one in despair. In front of the garage, Cheng Ying and
Chen Xiaoyao also felt cold and despair surged after looking at the time!
"Hoo, ho, ho."
At this moment, staring at the 4:50 that was clearly displayed on the watch, Cheng Ying's face turned pale, and Chen Xiaoyao's breathing became heavier, as if he had a premonition of a certain result. During the breathing period, the two sides instinctively looked at each other, first looking at each other, and then moving their eyes to look at each other.
Looking to the opposite side, he looked at Tang Meng who was still standing there with his head bowed and silent.
Next, under Chen Xiaoyao's extremely unwilling look, Cheng Ying took out the dagger.
There is no doubt that because the game time is coming to an end, in order not to experience the pain of melting the whole body, Chen Xiaoyao has made up his mind, and Cheng Ying has also made preparations in advance, that is, once the time reaches 4:59, Cheng Ying will
He will take action immediately, first killing Chen Xiaoyao and Tang Meng around him as quickly as possible, and then commit suicide immediately. After all, it is better to commit suicide happily than to be obliterated by the rules.
but……
At the same second when Cheng Ying drew out the dagger, Tang Meng reacted on the opposite side. She had lowered her head and remained silent for a long time, then she suddenly looked up at the two of them, and then said something to Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao.
The joyful way of life tells:
"I thought about it, I know how to escape from the manor! The way out is in the villa, right in the villa!!!"
Like lightning piercing the dark clouds, like thunder resounding across the scene, Tang Meng finished speaking. Whether it was Cheng Ying or Chen Xiaoyao, both of them changed their expressions drastically. Perhaps ordinary people would instinctively ask after hearing the news, asking Tang Meng the cause and effect.
, but in fact Cheng Ying did not ask, and Chen Xiaoyao also did not speak. It was not because they were unwilling to ask, but because time was tight. The reality no longer allowed them to ask Tang Meng about the causes and consequences. It was also because time was too tight, so...
"Quick, let's go!"
Hula.
After only being stunned for a second, Cheng Ying took the lead after saying hello. She and Tang Meng and Chen Xiaoyao ran away and rushed to the villa along the nearby path. During the run, Cheng Ying took out the communicator and opened it.
In an instant, a notification was sent out to all employees: "Listen up, everyone, go to the manor villa immediately!"
With the help of the communicator, Cheng Ying's voice spread and was instantly heard and received by all the executors in the manor. As expected, the moment Cheng Ying's voice came from the communicator, Li Tianheng, who had previously been slumped on the ground on the north side of the manor, suddenly appeared.
stunned
, he was stunned, but after only a few seconds, Li Tianheng somehow came back to his senses as if he had realized something, jumped up from the ground, and then carried Kong Ling on his back like a car filled with fuel.
Run forward and rush straight to the villa opposite!
