Volume 2: Living with Ghosts Chapter 017 Discussion
Hearing the words "supplementary tasks released", Zhang Fengyu quickly lowered his head and began to listen carefully.
"Women's Village has several specific customs. During the execution of this mission, the executor must abide by some of the specific customs here. If there is any objection or abstention, it will be regarded as a failure of the mission. The executor will perform this mission as a blind date from Men's Village.
At six o'clock today, the Women's Village will hold a marriage ceremony in the central square of the village on time. This includes some specific customs in the village. The specific customs need to be figured out by the executors themselves in order to ensure that the task can be carried out smoothly.
The marriage ceremony is divided into several stages. In the first round, the matchmaker must be selected. There are two . The first is to roll the dice, and the second is to ask questions, but only one question is allowed. If the executor chooses the second method, the number of ghosts will account for half of the number of people. If the selected matchmaker is a ghost, the executor will be eliminated by the mission! "
The prompt for the supplementary task was very long. After Zhang Fengyu wrote it all down, he turned around and looked at Wang Lin and others who were not far from him.
Wang Lin and the others all looked very unhappy, and they all lowered their heads, thinking about something. Zhang Fengyu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he read a strange hint from their faces. It seemed that his luck was not very good, and he encountered a tricky one in his first official mission.
He also compared this mission with the missions in the documents Wang Lin had given him, but the result of the comparison was not optimistic. Whether in terms of the type of mission or other aspects, none of them existed in the documents.
It can be said that this mission is filled with too many uncertain factors, and Zhang Fengyu has no idea what to do.
Wang Lin and his companions looked ahead, with a hint of worry between their brows. Just from the prompts of this mission, there was a sense of weirdness. It was easy to imagine what would happen during the mission. In the missions they had carried out in the past, no matter how the execution process was, there had never been such weirdness in the prompts.
Ever since receiving the reminder of this mission, Wang Lin's mind has been very uneasy, as if something was about to happen, making him very uneasy. This was also something that had never happened before in all the missions he had carried out.
The uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. Wang Lin could no longer control himself. He quickly walked to Chen Ping's side and asked him in a low voice: "Xiao Ping, this mission is so strange. Could it be related to my leaving the team soon?"
Chen Ping could hear the tremor in Wang Lin's voice. He looked at Wang Lin in surprise, not understanding why Wang Lin was so uneasy. But he was never a talkative person, so he did not ask. Instead, he said to Wang Lin, "Maybe, but missions are unpredictable. Maybe this mission is so strange just to remind us."
Hearing this, Wang Lin sighed and replied weakly: "Alas, it is too difficult to understand this mission!"
Zhang Feng, who was standing by, looked over at the two of them. Seeing Wang Lin and Chen Ping whispering to each other, Zhang Fengyu yelled at them with an unpleasant expression, "It's already this late, and you two are still willing to whisper to each other in secret! Have you figured out the additional hint? You know, the hint says that the marriage ceremony will be held at 6 o'clock!"
Zhang Feng shouted these words loudly, and his tone was full of complaints and accusations. Wang Lin and Chen Ping naturally couldn't stand Zhang Feng's tone, and their faces instantly darkened, and at the same time, they glanced at Zhang Fengyu coldly.
Seeing Chen Ping and Wang Lin's unfriendly faces, Zhang Feng realized that he had just said the wrong thing. If he wanted to stay alive, he had to rely on their help. If he offended them, then... Zhang Feng shuddered unconsciously, and quickly changed his expression. He said to the two of them in an earnest tone: "It's five o'clock now, and the marriage ceremony will begin in less than an hour. But I feel that there are still some problems with the various things mentioned in the supplementary prompts. I am not able to analyze anything. I wonder what Captain Wang and Chen Ping have analyzed ?"
Zhang Fengyu secretly thought that Zhang Feng's expression changed so quickly, but Wang Lin and Chen Ping didn't buy it. They didn't even look at Zhang Feng, but called him over: "Fengyu, come here, let's discuss this additional hint together."
Seeing that his warm welcome was met with a cold shoulder, Zhang Feng was a little angry. He wanted to vent his anger, but he didn't dare to. After all, he had to rely on Wang Lin and the others to survive. Who told him that he didn't have the brains of others? In order to survive, Zhang Feng could only suppress his anger and kept smiling .
After Zhang Fengyu was called over by Wang Lin, Wang Lin and Chen Ping began to analyze the supplementary task that had just been released in their minds. Through some clues given in the supplementary prompts, they made idealistic inferences about the difficulties that might exist in the task, so as to avoid the situation of losing their composure during the task due to lack of time to think.
It can be said that their execution of missions is very similar to leading troops in battle, and strategies are indispensable.
Wang Lin lit a cigarette and said to everyone while puffing smoke: "The previous prompt explained our roles in this mission, the blind daters from Nanren Village! From this point of view alone, the type of mission this time can be called role-playing."
Zhang Fengyu also learned a lot about role-playing tasks from Wang Lin. This type of task is just like a role-playing game. The executors will be given a new identity by the task, and through this new identity, they can communicate with the characters in the task.
The sentence that appeared in the previous prompt, "The identity of the executor or any information related to this mission must not be revealed to the people in the village in any way," is also a hidden rule in this type of mission, which is that the characters in the mission must not doubt the identities of their actors.
Wang Lin continued to talk to the others: "In the supplementary tips, it is obvious that the most emphasis was placed on some specific customs in the village. So I think that part of the difficulty of this mission will come from some customs in the village. We must be more careful in this regard."
“Brother Wang!”
As Wang Lin was speaking, Zhang Fengyu suddenly interrupted him. Wang Lin looked at Zhang Fengyu with suspicion and asked him puzzledly , "Fengyu, do you have any new discoveries?"
Wang Lin's words also made Chen Ping show a little expectation. On the other hand, Zhang Feng was staring at Zhang Fengyu fiercely, as if he would rush over at any time.
Facing three completely different looks, Zhang Fengyu felt a little uneasy, but he still shook his head and replied: "I don't think analyzing these things now will help us complete this mission. After all, we haven't really entered the mission yet, and it's a bit too early to analyze this unknown. Although it's better to take precautions, but..."
"Shut your stinky mouth! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! You're a newbie who knows nothing and has only completed one novice mission, and you come to teach us. Do you really think you're a piece of cake? Don't take the face I give you!"
Zhang Feng's curse directly countered Zhang Fengyu's words. Looking at Zhang Feng's angry eyes, it was obvious that he vented all his frustration on Zhang Fengyu.
But Zhang Fengyu ignored Zhang Feng. After all, if a dog bites you, you can't lie down and bite the dog back. There is a kind of person who should be ignored directly, because he is completely different from normal people and is not on the same level. Responding to such a person is equivalent to belittling yourself!
Zhang Fengyu could ignore Zhang Feng, but he couldn't ignore Wang Lin. From Wang Lin's expression, Zhang Fengyu could tell that Wang Lin didn't like what he said. After all, what Zhang Fengyu said undoubtedly sounded like a denial of the principles they had always followed in dealing with missions. But Wang Lin was naturally far from being comparable to the ruffian Zhang Feng. He flicked his cigarette butt away and said to Zhang Fengyu in a heavy voice, "Although you have great potential, Fengyu, you have only experienced one mission after all. You may not know much about the various aspects of the mission, so you have this idea. But think about it carefully. If we don't take advantage of this time to carefully analyze the possible difficulties in the mission, then when we really enter the mission, we will appear very passive. And under the deadline and the combined pressure of the evil spirits, it is too difficult for us to analyze calmly."
Zhang Fengyu knew that what he said just now was a bit abrupt, and he regretted it now. But this was what he had always wanted to say, and he would say it sooner or later. Because in Zhang Fengyu's opinion, Wang Lin's approach to the task was wrong.
Before each mission, he would analyze the prompts word by word. According to Wang Lin, this was to take precautions and prepare for the upcoming mission. But to put it bluntly, this was just empty talk.
Hints are dead, but they are alive in the mission, and the development of the mission is unpredictable and never follows a fixed routine. If you always inject existing theories into their minds in advance, then when they suddenly encounter changes, they will be hit without any resistance.
And the worst case scenario is that if they continue like this, their ability to adapt will become weaker and weaker until they completely lose this ability.
