Chapter 778 The Doomsday Between You and Me
The store managers’ doomsday: the ten-day escape mission.
The answer to the riddle is naturally above the riddle.
This task has only a few numbers:
"Ten days, on the journey of escape"
Literally speaking, this seems to be a very simple task, even if it gathers four major branches.
But the result is obvious that only one of these eighteen people is left.
The ten-day escape mission is an extremely special mission, and it was later called "the closest task to the unsolvable one" by later generations.
Because, even today, no one still finds a way out.
wrong……
It’s not that no one has found a way out, but that the basic logic of this task has not been clarified.
The so-called "escape", the escaped party is of course the clerk, so the ghost must be the one chasing him.
But this is the strange thing about this mission. From beginning to end, the eighteen clerks saw no ghosts at all.
In a non-restrictive escape based on the real world.
Nine days ago, under the leadership of Chen Hansheng, Wei Hu and Wen Linghua, eighteen clerks traveled and walked on several places, walking on thin ice.
At this stage, there were no casualties, no ghosts, nothing.
Of course, there were three store managers in charge, and they had tried various ways to show up.
After all, there is a way out of life only if there is a dead end.
But in the first nine days, no matter how to test it, not only was there no ghost, but there was not even a decent attack.
Eighteen clerks lived until the tenth day.
However, just as the tenth day was about to end, the first half of the mission time came.
Starting from the sixth branch, one branch and the clerks at the branch disappeared collectively.
It's not attacked, it's disappearing.
Suddenly, the bustling streets with crowds disappeared without a trace.
There is no ghost, no injury, simply erase existence.
Panic spread in the strange death, with eighteen clerks in the four major branches.
They are like blind people who have lost their eyesight, with only strength but no target to resist.
In a situation where there is no dead end, no life, no clue, and no intelligence, I don’t even know where to start thinking.
Chen Hansheng was able to survive from the "ten-day escape" because he was not able to comprehend the path of life at the last moment.
Instead, he relied on the power of the sky and the sea to resist.
Of course, Wei Hu and Wen Linghua, who are also the store manager, also have the power of the sky and sea.
But they did not have Chen Hansheng's complete three-time use rights, so they could not escape the erased ending.
...
The ten-day escape mission caused an uproar as soon as it was revealed.
Among the top ten branches, many resourceful people gathered together to conduct a special analysis on this task.
After many discussions, three mainstream conjectures were drawn:
The first type: the escaped subject was wrong from the beginning.
The clerks are the hunters, but they lost their target and did not complete the hunting mission.
Therefore, on the eve of the mission, they were wiped out one after another.
But this statement is not very credible.
Because when the first deceased appears, there is still half a minute left in the mission.
The second type: Escape is a dead end.
This statement believes that the term "escape" needs to be dismantled and analyzed.
Take a trip to escape and die as long as you start running.
In the ten days, all the clerks were not attacked or saw ghosts.
But they all practiced the action of "escape", and then turned into a dead end at the end of the mission and died completely.
However, this statement is not reliable.
Because, how should the definition of "escape" be judged? Who will identify it?
The third type: This mission is simply unsolvable.
Although this statement is the most cruel and unreasonable, it is still a conjecture that most people agree with.
Of course, as the only survivor, Chen Hansheng is not without some idea.
After using all the power of the sky and sea three times, he finally delayed the mission time.
Just as he was teleporting back to the third branch, he saw in a trance that there were black shadows in the sky.
After a quick glance, I got not much information.
But Chen Hansheng thought of an incredible conjecture:
Those black shadows are the seventeen people who have been erased.
And they may not have died, but just existed in another way.
For example, becoming a real escapee...
Coincidentally.
When Gu Xingjian heard about this task, he also gave an evaluation or a prompt:
"The key to 'ten days' escape is 'ten days'."
Gu Xingjian obviously got some inspiration through description and analysis, but did not explain it in detail.
No matter how others asked, he kept silent.
At this point, the "Ten Day Escape" mission has become the biggest unsolved case in the top ten branches.
Gradually, people also understood that the difficulty of this task had reached a height that the human brain could not reach.
...
Chen Hansheng stood in the middle of the most prosperous intersection in Shanming City, inconspicuous.
The drizzle in the night sky makes the streets that surging crowds are covered with umbrellas.
Giant billboards flashing with neon lights, lights on the walls of tall buildings, and flowing lights, making this night colorful.
Eighteen people trembling in the rain were waiting for the warmth of the group, and were waiting for the arrival of the mission time in panic, anxiety and expectation.
Chen Hansheng held a wet cigarette pipe in his mouth, independent of the eighteen people, pinching the time.
In ten seconds, the erasure will begin, and the first person is Wen Linghua from the sixth branch.
After calculating the time, Fang Shenyan, who turned into a ghost, will also arrive after Wen Linghua's "death".
Chen Hansheng kept sucking the wet cigarette pipe hard, and his expression began to feel a little nervous.
His originally dark yellow face looked weird in the neon lights around him, and his fingers were shaking slightly in the rain.
The ten-day escape mission is too strange and has become the biggest shadow in Chen Hansheng's heart.
Even now, it is just a fictional scene, a silhouette in his life.
But……
Chen Hansheng exhaled a mouthful of choking white smoke and raised his head slightly to look at the gloomy sky.
It's so real here.
He would even pull him back to the memories surrounded by fear and treacherousness.
"Shopkeeper, is the time right?"
"Don't worry, there are twenty seconds left."
"Miss Wen, I think something is wrong. The joint mission of the four major branches should not be ended like this."
"Well...I think so too, but look at this..."
It's quiet.
It's here.
The golden pocket watch landed, and before Wen Linghua could take a look at the time, she suddenly disappeared from everyone's vision.
Half a second later, she returned, and her facial features became distorted in the rain.
"Save me, store manager! Save me!"
Wen Linghua used the power of the sky and sea to die. The man who asked me about it just now left a question for help and disappeared completely.
Then, one, one, one, one...
Chen Hansheng was watching the show, but his hands were trembling constantly.
He has long stopped fearing ghosts and has seen too many of them over the years.
Those hideous, terrible, cruel, fierce...
When the unknown becomes known, fear will no longer exist.
But only this mission, the inexplicable way of death, erasing it for no reason, is a brand new horror.
He has never seen it before.
When the Sixth Branch died, the dark moon in the sky was completely blocked by a white figure.
The night becomes darker, but the neon lights of the city remain.
Fang Shenyan, who has transformed into a ghost, became a symbol of white terror and came to Chen Hansheng's life silhouette.
At the same time, he was also shrouded in the "ten-day escape".
The tobacco pipe fell to the ground, the exquisite jade pole shattered several petals, and the originally wet tobacco was completely wiped out.
Chen Hansheng's figure was helpless in the rain, but he insisted on raising his head and staring at the white figure in the air.
