Chapter 1540: Basement(1/2)
As far as I can see, I see a brightly lit villa living room in front of me. I am currently standing next to the sofa, with two women sitting on the left and right, one large and one small. The older one is very beautiful, and the younger one has a cute appearance.
An underage girl, and outside lay a young man wearing a shit-yellow coat. The young man had his eyes closed for a long time and did not react.
There were also two pale men sitting opposite, one was fat and bald, the other was tall and wearing a sweater. When Zhao Ping woke up, except for the young man who was motionless due to coma, there were also a beautiful woman and a minor who were originally worried.
Both girls looked happy, but the bald man and the tall man still looked timid.
There is no doubt that the beautiful woman is Tang Meng, the underage girl is Kong Ling, and the young man who was unconscious the whole time is Chen Xiaoyao. As for the two men sitting opposite, they are undoubtedly the newcomers Wang Xuegui and Sun Zhiyong. Of course, these
It's not the point, the point is...
After scanning a few people with his eyes, Zhao Ping discovered something, something was not quite right.
"Zhao Ping, wake up!"
"Uncle Glasses, you finally woke up, great!"
As expected, when they saw the man with glasses wake up, whether it was Tang Meng or Kong Ling, the two women were all happy. But the strange thing was that Zhao Ping ignored the two women's happy greetings and instead raised his head to look at the clock on the wall. Wait and see
After reaching the 8 o'clock clearly marked on the clock, Zhao Ping suddenly shook his body, and then asked Tang Meng in an almost forced and nervous tone: "Tell me, what day is the mission now? What happened to Liu Shengnan who was trapped in the toilet before?
How about it? And..."
"Why is the man named Liu Jie missing?"
Yes, this was the reason why the man with glasses looked nervous. It was also what Zhao Ping was most concerned about at the moment. Since he didn't know how long he had been sleeping for, after breaking out of coma and waking up on his own, the man immediately asked for the answer. What came to mind?
Not only did he urgently need to know the specific date, he also wanted to know why the number of people at the scene had decreased. The newcomer named Liu Jie in his impression was nowhere to be seen!
The result was affirmative. Faced with Zhao Ping's nervous inquiry, Tang Meng was slightly startled, but soon the woman's expression became increasingly difficult to look at. Finally????????????????
He answered truthfully with a suppressed tone mixed with bitterness: "Liu Shengnan died as early as last night in the toilet, while Liu Jie died in the middle of the morning. Like Shen Bin, the bodies of the two of them are now dead."
They’re all in that room on the second floor.”
"As for you, you have been sleeping all night, from early morning until now. It is now the second day of the mission."
(It’s the second day of the mission? How could I, I, have been asleep for so long!?)
The moment he heard Tang Meng's answer, across from him, Zhao Ping's heart trembled, and his already nervous face turned faintly closer to fear. Although Zhao Ping also knew why he fell asleep last night, he still didn't expect that he would fall asleep.
So long? I fell asleep for 8 hours. 8 hours.
, it’s nothing in normal times, it’s just the time for ordinary people to get some sleep, but this is a mission world full of dangers. In a mission world where death can happen at any time, how often do executors not race against time? 8 hours is enough to do a lot of things.
, and one more thing must be mentioned
And, that is, because his subconscious told him that Cheng Ying and others were about to die, Zhao Ping had already made up his mind to end the mission early and decided to completely solve this supernatural incident the next day, at the latest
After 12 noon, the reason still came from his intuition. His intuition told him that Cheng Ying and others could not hold on for too long. Once it passed 12 noon the next day, perhaps the mysteriously missing Cheng Ying people would become missing forever. What does it mean to be missing forever?
It means death, which means that these people will never be able to return to the death space alive!
】
Precisely because he believed in his own instinctive reminders, Zhao Ping analyzed and pondered all the time and thought crazily to find a way out without rest. This led to him overusing his brain and causing him to lose strength and fall into coma during the rescue of Tang Meng. Unexpectedly, he just
As soon as he woke up, he saw that the time had come to the next morning, and there were only the last 4 hours left before Cheng Ying and others died!
Oops!
……………
When Zhao Ping secretly exclaimed that something was wrong, based on his understanding of the bespectacled man's character, he paused and Tang Meng continued without stopping: "As for Liu Jie's death, he was killed while sleeping in the middle of the night, which happened to be my vigil.
, but I didn’t expect that just when I was thinking about things, Liu Jie was actually dead. When I heard the sound and looked at him, I found that his neck had been twisted behind his back."
In fact, when Tang Meng narrated to this point, there was no need to go on. Zhao Ping roughly guessed the context. It was just that Liu Jie was attacked by a ghost in the middle of the night and killed him with one blow while he was sleeping. However, Tang Meng, who was in charge of the night watch at the time, did not notice it.
It is reasonable. After all, being awake does not necessarily mean that you will always be vigilant. Liu Bin was suddenly killed by the female ghost when Tang Meng was negligent. In addition, the death of Liu Jie can further confirm that the female ghost kills people very quickly.
The terrifying conclusion means that this female ghost has the ability to kill a living person in an instant. As long as you are a little negligent, you may not even know how you died. This also explains why Wang Xuegui and Sun Zhiyong are both pale at this moment.
From Liu Shengnan's death in the toilet last night to Liu Jie's sudden death in the middle of the night, all the results made the two newcomers feel a strong sense of grief. Under the extremely strong shadow of death, God knows when it will be their turn?
Fortunately, only the newcomers died last night. In fact, this was the reason why Zhao Ping deliberately retained the newcomers. Since the mission area this time was extremely small, it was different from the past. This time, Zhao Ping changed his strategy. He was no longer calculating as usual.
Newcomers, turn to as many people as possible
Let the newcomers survive to serve as a shield for the seniors. It is true that in a sense, this so-called protection is essentially a calculation, but the strategy is very correct. With the newcomers sharing the firepower of the ghosts, the seniors gain
It gave me some breathing space, but...
Even if Zhao Ping's strategy is correct, he won't be able to breathe for long, because the time has now reached the second day of the mission! Through the deaths of Liu Shengnan and Liu Jie, combined with the logical rule that the longer the time goes on, the ghost will become more and more crazy, then
The female ghost who only hides in the villa has been revealed
The killing speed has obviously accelerated. What does this mean? Very simply, it means that the executioner's good luck has come to an end. The female ghost is very likely to clean up everyone today. Unless a way out can be found today, Zhao Ping does not think that
They can still survive until the third day, not to mention...
Taking a step back, even if he and Tang Mengkong could miraculously survive until the last day, Cheng Ying and the others who had been missing until now would definitely not survive until the last day, and Zhao Ping's subconscious had clearly told him, let alone the third day.
After three days, these missing teammates couldn't even survive until noon today!
Therefore, we must solve this task before 12 noon!
(4 hours, there are only 4 hours left for me, what must I do during this period, as for what exactly should be done...)
"Quick! Everyone come with me!"
(Um?)
After thinking about this, it was as if he remembered something very important again. Before Tang Meng could continue to speak, suddenly, Zhao Ping, who had lowered his head in thought just now, suddenly changed his expression. When Chao Tang and others said an urgent greeting,
After that, Zhao Ping kept his face solemn, turned around and ran, straight to the water dispenser placed in the corner of the living room!
Seeing the bespectacled man running towards the corner without any warning, driven by curiosity, both Tang Meng and Kong Ling stood up and followed after being stunned for a moment. Similarly, as the senior man moved one after another, Sun Zhiyong, who was already frightened
How could he and Wang Xuegui continue to sit peacefully? Zhao Ping and the other three had just made a move, but the two who were afraid of being left behind also got up and followed them as if running for their lives, and rushed to the corner of the living room together.
Everyone came to the water dispenser. Let’s not talk about the expressions of Tang Meng and others, but Zhao Ping showed no signs of ink. As soon as he reached the finish line, the man lowered his head and observed until he saw the black line that he had seen last night again.
Zhao Pingcai was convinced that there was a gap. He immediately raised his hand and moved the water dispenser that was originally placed in the corner while everyone was looking at it in confusion, and forced the water dispenser away from the corner.
Wow.
Next, as the water dispenser was pushed into the corner, a scene appeared that was enough to scare Zhao Ping, Tang Meng, Kong Ling, and even everyone else. Looking down, what came into view was a cover. Although the color was the same as the floor, it had an edge.
Square planks with obvious gaps!
"This, this is..."
Seeing this scene, not only Tang Meng and others were surprised, but even Zhao Ping, who had long guessed that there was a problem here, had a strange look on his face. It was not until this moment that everyone really understood Zhao Ping's intention, which was just as described before.
By chance, Zhao Ping, who wanted to drink water last night, accidentally discovered a gap when he came to the water dispenser and saw it on the edge of the water dispenser.
Not a single detail
Look at the black cracks that are hard to find. In fact, Zhao Ping had discovered the cracks as early as last night. It stands to reason that he would have been able to explore here last night. Unexpectedly, he had just discovered the hidden cracks and was interrupted by Tang Meng's bathroom distress.
In order to save Tang Meng's plan, Zhao Ping fainted from exhaustion. It was not until the night passed that Zhao Ping, who had just woken up, remembered this clue again, a latest discovery that was huge for the executor!
At this moment, if you look carefully, you can see a square wooden board under your feet that is almost the same color as the floor, and there is a recessed horizontal bar similar to a handle in the center of the board.
After observing this, everyone must know what this is. After raising his head and looking at each other with Tang Meng Kongling, Zhao Ping, with a little nervousness, reached out again, first grabbing the handle-like horizontal bar.
, and then use force to lift the arm upward.
As the wooden board was lifted off the ground, the next moment, a completely dark square hole came into view.
This is……
Basement entrance!
Unexpectedly, this villa actually has a hidden basement!
………
Ta da da, da da da.
Stepping on the dusty wooden stairs, along the dark and dark staircase corridor, five figures soon arrived at the basement. Because the environment was too dark, after arriving in the basement, several flashlight beams instantly penetrated the dark space.
.
Yes, since the existence of a basement in the living room is abnormal, when he found the hidden hole, Zhao Ping immediately decided to come down to investigate. Someone may have asked when he saw this. Since he knew that the basement was eerie and scary, and the environment was far scarier than the villa, what about these?
Why do people dare to come down and explore? Aren’t they afraid of death? The standard answer is fear, especially Zhao Ping. The man with glasses is more afraid of death than anyone else.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't dare to come down even if he was beaten to death! Unfortunately, there is no other way. He can't come down unless he comes down. Without the strong support of He Fei, Zhao Ping is very clear that some responsibilities that originally belonged to He Fei fall on him.
If even you are afraid of death, then this mission will most likely be the last mission of the Shenzhou team. As the old saying goes, someone has to do some things!
In addition, Zhao Ping also told Tang Meng and Kong Ling the intuitive guess that Cheng Ying and others would most likely not survive noon. Sure enough, after learning about this, the two women were shocked, even though Zhao Ping had stated in advance that it was just him.
However, the two women still believed in Zhao Ping's intuition, and their actual reaction was even more urgent than Zhao Ping's, so they urgently wanted to find the body of the female ghost as soon as possible. Since there was no one in the villa, the deliberately hidden basement in front of them no longer mattered.
It’s time to explore anyway.
Ever since, in order to find a way out and complete the mission before noon, Zhao Ping and Tang Meng reached a consensus that it was necessary to search the basement, so they suppressed their fear and came down to investigate. Of course, although the senior people are bold, this does not mean that all
Everyone has extraordinary courage, but seeing three people actually planning to go to the eerie place
Sun Zhiyong and Wang Xuegui, who were already on tenterhooks when exploring the basement, were frightened to death! They shook their heads frantically and tried to stop them. They tried to dissuade the seniors from taking the risk of going to the basement. Unfortunately, Zhao Ping and Tang Meng ignored them at all and were eager to complete the task.
