Volume 2: Living with Ghosts Chapter 014 New Mission
Several days passed in a flash. If it weren't for the calendar hanging on the wall of the room, which had already turned three pages, Zhang Fengyu would have no idea that he had been in the room for three days.
In this death base, it is almost impossible to distinguish between day and night. If you want to know the passage of time, you can only rely on the clock in the room.
After Zhang Fengyu entered the room, he began to study the information Wang Lin had given him. Three days passed in a flash, but Zhang Fengyu felt as if a century had passed in these three short days.
The reason was that Zhang Fengyu wanted to change his original thoughts and values. He wanted to transform from his deep-rooted materialism to a strange idealism. It was difficult for Zhang Fengyu to accept and endure this ideological transformation in a short period of time.
However, Zhang Fengyu is a sensible man. He knows that this transformation is not something that both parties are willing to do, but if he doesn't believe it, he will most likely die in the future. So he has no choice but to believe it whether he wants to or not.
Although Zhang Fengyu tried his best to believe all of this, when he looked through the information Wang Lin gave him, he still felt it was very unrealistic, so he could only force it into his brain.
Judging from the information about the missions that Wang Lin and his men had experienced, Zhang Fengyu had some understanding of this so-called wanted mission.
First of all, there is an unspoken rule in the wanted missions, that is, in the process of executing the mission, as long as the rules on the prompts are not violated, the ghost will definitely not kill people. Even if the ghost will kill people, it will definitely not be the executors like them.
This information was undoubtedly very exciting news for Zhang Fengyu. After all, if there were some restrictions on ghosts, then they would be relatively safer.
As for the other points, they were roughly as Wang Lin had told him before. The tasks could be summarized into only a few types, and some of the tasks had been repeated three times without changing their types. Looking at these three repeated tasks, Zhang Fengyu thought that this was the basis for Wang Lin's belief that the common points were unreliable.
As Zhang Fengyu studied the information in his hands more deeply, he became more and more frightened. This place was clearly a hell, a tomb where living people were buried!
Although Zhang Fengyu felt very frightened about all this, besides being full of fear, he was also full of questions about all this.
The information said that every time a new mission started, the train carrying the Death Base would suddenly stop, just like a train arriving at a station in reality. The place where the train stopped was where they would carry out the mission.
Then, the executors will walk out of the train, and the moment they step out, it indicates that the mission has been started. When the executors complete the mission, they will be teleported back to the death base immediately, and the originally parked train will continue to move in an unknown direction until the next mission arrives.
What Zhang Fengyu cares about most is that the location of each mission is a place he has never heard of in reality. Zhang Fengyu even doubts whether these places are all made up by this curse.
Zhang Fengyu had more questions than this. Did this train have a terminal? Did the mission location really exist in reality? Who created this curse, this death base, and all the wanted missions? Did gods and demons really exist in this world...
The more Zhang Fengyu thought about it, the more he felt that this curse was mysterious. However, he knew these things, and as a rookie who had just arrived, he would never be able to come up with the answer even if he racked his brains.
After thinking about it, Zhang Fengyu temporarily gave up his exploration, shook his heavy head vigorously, then stood up from the sofa, and walked out of the room with a lot of doubts in his mind.
After coming out, Zhang Fengyu's expression became a little surprised, because he found that except for him, the other five people were actually sitting in the carriage at this moment. Everyone's face was serious, and looking at their unconscious little movements, Zhang Fengyu found that they were very uneasy in their hearts. I don't know what they are waiting for.
At this time, the five people in the carriage noticed Zhang Fengyu, but among the five, only Wang Lin showed him a friendly smile, while the other four looked at him indifferently and turned their faces away.
Zhang Fengyu felt an indescribable feeling in his heart after seeing this, and could only smile bitterly. At this time, Wang Lin's slightly low voice came over: "Have you read all the information I gave you? If you have any doubts, tell me and I may be able to help you solve them."
Wang Lin waved to Zhang Fengyu, then moved to make room for him. Zhang Fengyu looked at Wang Lin gratefully, then sat down next to Wang Lin and said to him, "I have read the information that Brother Wang gave me many times, and there are indeed many parts that confuse me and I don't understand."
Wang Lin seemed to be very happy about this. He smiled and asked Zhang Fengyu, "What's confusing you? Tell me."
After Wang Lin asked the question, Zhang Fengyu did not hesitate and told him all the things that confused him before. Zhang Fengyu thought that Wang Lin could solve his doubts, but Wang Lin only shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I'm sorry, Fengyu, I can't help you with your confusion. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know the truth.
But then again, even if these puzzles cannot be solved, it will not affect the execution of the mission, so you don't have to worry about anything. You don't have to put too much thought on these problems. You should know that for us executors, we should only care about one thing and have only one goal, which is to complete each mission and finally get 100 health points to leave here! Go home! Survive!
As for the reasons for the formation of this curse and the mysteries of the death base, they are not issues we should consider now. Even if we want to understand all of this and want to know the truth, we can only carry out research on the premise of surviving.
This curse is a new world for us. A world full of cruelty and oppression. Our previous thoughts and ideas in reality are no longer feasible here. You only need to remember one thing, that is, to try your best to survive in this curse! "
Wang Lin's words gave Zhang Fengyu great encouragement and comfort, and instilled in him the belief to live.
"Thank you, Brother Wang! I will try my best to survive!"
Zhang Fengyu also realized that he was not qualified to guess the curse now, because as Wang Lin said, no matter what he wanted to do, the prerequisite was to have a life!
Just as the conversation between Zhang Fengyu and Wang Lin came to an end, a very abrupt voice came from the side.
"Why? Are you also interested in the formation of this curse and the mysteries of this death base?"
The voice was unfamiliar. Zhang Fengyu looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was none other than Chen Ping, the man with glasses who had never spoken before. Zhang Fengyu was a little surprised by Chen Ping's sudden question. He shook his head and replied, "I'm not interested, I'm just a little curious."
Hearing Zhang Fengyu's answer, Chen Ping's eyes hidden behind the lenses flashed a hint of sadness very quickly, but it did not attract the attention of others.
Because at the same time, Wang Lin, who was sitting next to Zhang Fengyu, suddenly changed his expression. Sensing Wang Lin's change, except for Zhang Fengyu who was worried, the others all looked at Wang Lin with a hint of concern.
The reactions of the few people reminded Zhang Fengyu of the captain's ability that Wang Lin had mentioned to him before. Thinking of this, Zhang Fengyu suddenly realized why these people were all in the carriage. They were obviously waiting for Wang Lin to give them a hint about the new mission.
Everyone's concern was mixed with a strong sense of uneasiness. After all, the hints gave a rough idea of how strange the mission was. About three minutes later, Wang Lin's expression finally eased, but it didn't look very good.
Seeing that Wang Lin, who had always been able to keep his composure, had such an expression, the five people including Zhang Fengyu all felt that this mission might be a little difficult.
Wang Lin exhaled heavily, and then read out the task instructions he had just received to everyone: "The bounty value of this wanted order is 8. The executors are divided into two groups, male and female, to carry out this task. The male group will be sent to the Women's Village, with a total of 100 people, and the female group will be sent to the Men's Village, with a total of 50 people.
The execution period of this mission is two months!
It is required that in the first month, the executor who goes to the men's village or the women's village must marry the person of his or her choice and live with him or her for a full month in the second month.
Note: During this period, you will have sexual intercourse with other men and women, and you will be cleansed again after the task is completed.
Note: Ghosts will hide in the Men's Village and the Women's Village, and you cannot commit suicide during the mission.
Note: If you do not marry the person chosen by Zhuang Nei within the one-month period, or do not live with him/her in the second month and do not have sexual intercourse, then the mission will be considered a failure.
Note: During the execution, all people in the village will be shown as evil spirits. They are not allowed to reveal their identities or any information related to this mission to people in the village in any way. There will be additional reminders during the execution of the mission. There will be additional missions at that time! "
When Wang Lin described the mission this time, everyone's faces turned very ugly, especially Yun Yun and Li Xuan.
Judging from the instructions for this mission, the other people seemed to have never experienced this type of mission before. What confused them the most was the strange supplementary mission. No one knew what the supplementary mission was.
Even a veteran like Wang Lin had never seen such a strange hint.
Everyone felt a strong sense of crisis, which was coming towards them from all directions and constantly invading their hearts!
Seeing everyone so panicked, Wang Lin, as the team leader, naturally stood up. He said to everyone in a low voice: "This mission is really strange. Judging from the prompts, it should be a comprehensive type. Although the prompts are a bit weird, it may not be what we imagined."
Li Xuan and the others didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly, but their expressions didn't look much better. As for Zhang Fengyu, his face was tightly entangled, his whole face was full of unspeakable fear, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
Zhang Fengyu didn't know why he was so frightened, and even frightened his legs to the point of weakness. He tried his best to control it, but it seemed like an instinctive movement of his body, and it was beyond the control of his brain!
This fear was suddenly felt by Wang Lin when he described the new task to them. It was an extremely strong fear and suffocating palpitation. Zhang Fengyu, who originally thought he had adapted to the new environment, realized how ridiculous his earlier thoughts were when the fear attacked him.
Compared to Zhang Fengyu's panic, Wang Lin and the others looked a little ugly, but their emotions were not fluctuating. They were all veterans who had experienced several missions, even dozens of missions . Whether it was courage, calmness, or composure in the face of the unknown, or even psychological endurance, they were not comparable to Zhang Fengyu, a rookie.
So although it seems that Zhang Fengyu's loss of composure was very embarrassing, when they faced their first formal mission, their degree of panic and loss of composure was far greater than Zhang Fengyu's.
The second wanted mission was the first official mission after the novice mission. This was a hurdle that all newcomers had to overcome. After facing an extremely terrifying novice mission, the newcomers who survived by chance could not rely on their subjective belief to accept such a thing.
Therefore, the horror, blood, and cruel scenes they experienced during the novice missions were sealed deep in their memories in their subconscious for the sake of self-protection. It seemed that Zhang Fengyu had adapted to everything and this new environment.
But in fact, the fear from the subconscious will be completely aroused at this time, and all the negative emotions will emerge from the bottom of the heart. After all, after experiencing the cruel novice mission once again, no one wants to experience the next mission again. It is this strong resistance that causes the backlash of negative emotions!
Wang Lin and the others did not show much surprise at Zhang Fengyu's performance at this time. Obviously, everyone had experienced this hurdle before. Even Zhang Feng, who had always been at odds with Zhang Fengyu, did not make any sarcastic remarks at this time.
Seeing everyone's glances, Zhang Fengyu gritted his teeth and tried his best to suppress the fear. He was new here, and he would never allow others to look down on him or treat him as a burden. He would allow himself to not be able to hold his head up!
Although Zhang Fengyu tried desperately to suppress this negative emotion, no matter how hard he tried, his body was still shaking uncontrollably.
Seeing Zhang Fengyu's determination and stubbornness, Wang Lin was silent for a while, then encouraged Zhang Fengyu, "Fengyu, there is nothing to be ashamed of! When facing the second mission, all the negative emotions that have accumulated in the novice mission will burst out from the bottom of your heart. You have done well enough. When I was performing the second mission, I didn't even have the strength to stand up because of fear. You can definitely overcome this hurdle! Everyone will be afraid, but as a man, you must grit your teeth and hold on, and live like a man. There is nothing to be afraid of in the mission. If you fail, you will die at most. Everyone will die sooner or later. What is important is the meaning of your life, who is worth cherishing, and who is the motivation and pillar for you to live! Only by getting through it can you save up 100 health points and go home!"
