Volume 3: Death in Progress Chapter 052 Everyone's Analysis
"This is what happened there just now!"
Li Xuan had been sent to the hospital by Zhang Fengyu and others at this time. After all, Li Xuan had fractures in many parts of his body due to the heavy fall. Li Xuan also forced himself to tell Zhang Fengyu and others what had happened while feeling weak. Naturally, Chen Ping also shared with Li Xuan and others what they had encountered before.
Now they are in a special ward. After all, they are not short of money. After Zhang Fengyu told the nurse not to disturb them, he closed the door and said to everyone, "It is 1:30 now. We entered Hongzheng City at 12 o'clock sharp, which means that this mission will not be completed until 12 o'clock tomorrow. According to the frequency of death, those ten people will probably be dead before 10 o'clock."
"Hey, didn't I see the information you gave me at the Death Base that said ghosts wouldn't kill people during a mission? How come ghosts can kill people this time? This is simply not giving us a way to survive!"
Zhao Liang had a sad face and hung his head. His condition was even worse than Li Xuan who was lying on the hospital bed!
Qiao Yan glared at Zhao Liang fiercely at this time: " What's wrong with you, kid? Is now the time to say such depressing words?"
Zhao Liang wanted to refute, but seeing that everyone's eyes were fixed on him, he sighed and said nothing more.
Cheng En also sat next to Zhao Liang with a gloomy look. It seemed that like Zhao Liang, he did not have much hope of successfully completing this mission.
The atmosphere fell silent again for a moment. Zhang Fengyu coughed lightly and said, "Before the death time appears, let's analyze these two cases carefully."
After Zhang Fengyu finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Chen Ping. Chen Ping had long been accustomed to the identity of a military advisor, and he did not refuse to analyze the situation for everyone: "The death list given for this mission is a total of ten people, which means that these ten people will be killed by ten ghosts. Of course, if the ghosts want to kill them, they need an opportunity to do so. For example, Chen Yue and Wang Yingjie, if we do not contact them, they may also die. We have fallen into the trap of the mission, but if the mission still uses our psychology to make us think that these people will be the same in the future, and we do not participate, then it is possible that none of the remaining eight people will survive."
Qiao Yan also interjected after hearing this and asked, "Then what should we do? We don't know when this mission is a trap and when it is not!"
Chen Ping glanced at Qiao Yan and replied, "Yes, there is no other way. We dare not gamble, so all we can do is rely on our analysis to find out the truth and change the time of death of the remaining eight people. Otherwise, when the ghost loses all restrictions, our chances of survival will become very slim!"
"Well, what if we kill them in advance?" Cheng En asked in a low voice.
After hearing this, Chen Ping nodded to Cheng En and said, "This is what I was thinking. Since the mission doesn't say that we are not allowed to kill them, then let's experiment ourselves. When the next death time is announced, we will kill this person in advance!"
"I object!"
"Oh? Zhang Fengyu, have you discovered something? I'd like to hear why it's not possible!" Seeing Zhang Fengyu's sudden objection, Chen Ping also sat on one foot of the hospital bed. He wanted to hear what Zhang Fengyu could say.
"From the two dead bodies above, it is not difficult to find that the ghosts did not suddenly kill them when the time of death came. You have already guessed this before. That is to say, the ghosts had already approached the victims before our mission started, or possessed them or pretended to be someone close to them. The reason why the ghosts did this was naturally arranged by the mission. But in general, those victims are the prey of the ghosts, because the purpose of the ghosts is to kill them. But if we attack those people in advance, it is equivalent to us snatching prey from the ghosts. We did not snatch from the ghosts before, and the ghosts wanted to attack us after killing the target, not to mention that we killed the target that they had been waiting for for a long time before the ghosts! After this, we will inevitably suffer crazy revenge from the ghosts!"
After hearing Zhang Fengyu's analysis, Chen Ping shook his head and said, "You have made a wrong analysis on this point. The prompt clearly states that as long as we change the time of death of one of them, our mission will be completed. Completion means that we will be teleported to the death base immediately. Even if the ghosts' revenge is crazy, it has nothing !"
Li Xuan also took over the topic in a low voice at this time and said: "It is indeed as Chen Ping said. As long as we succeed, we don't have to worry about the ghosts taking revenge on us."
Zhang Fengyu frowned slightly. Although his analysis was invalidated by the two, he still opposed it in his heart. After a short silence, he continued to analyze to everyone: "Well, even if we don't have to worry about the revenge of the ghosts, but we kill them, if this is really feasible, don't you think the hint is a bit too easy? Don't you think the bug of this mission is a bit too obvious? I think this is clearly a trap given in the hint, because this mission is different from the previous ones. The last sentence in the hint clearly shows that although the ghosts have restrictions, they are not completely restricted like in the past. Otherwise, it would have been specifically stated at the end that 'then the ghosts will lose all restrictions'. All this means that the ghosts in this mission may kill us. Captain Li Xuan is the best proof. If we act rashly on them, it is very likely that we will not succeed, and we will be retaliated by the ghosts after failing! I am firmly against doing this!"
After hearing Zhang Fengyu's analysis this time, everyone lowered their heads and began to think. Zhang Fengyu's words did make sense. This was obviously a trap given by the task, but it was also possible that the task wanted to deliberately take advantage of their psychology and set a trap. These two possibilities could be said to be fifty-fifty. However, if it was really as Zhang Fengyu said, then if they failed, they would attract a ghost to chase them in advance. They could not afford this risk.
Chen Ping was actually just talking. With his personality, he would never do anything that he was not sure of and which also involved huge risks. Even if he wanted to do it, he would definitely not go there in person.
Li Xuan's weak voice sounded at this time: "How about this, let's take a vote, raise your hands if you think this plan is feasible!"
After Li Xuan finished speaking, several people looked at each other, but no one raised their hands. Obviously, no one could afford such a risk, not to mention that they had to snatch the prey from the ghost. They felt very scared just thinking about it, let alone actually doing it.
Seeing that no one raised their hands, Li Xuan said in a low voice: "Since no one agrees, then we will give up this guess."
"Although I don't agree with this strategy, I do have a way to try."
Li Xuan glanced at Zhang Fengyu and nodded, asking him to speak out.
"After the last two incidents, we know that ghosts will attack us after successfully killing the victim, but we don't know whether this attack is fake or real. I have a suggestion. After the time of death of the next victim is announced, we will find a way to lead the victim to a place where it is more convenient for us to escape, while the ghosts can chase us. If the ghosts choose to chase us all the time, then we will give up the idea of killing those people. If the ghosts are just pretending, then we will kill them in advance!"
"I'm afraid this won't work. Didn't Captain Li say that ghosts suddenly disappeared from the house and then appeared outside the door? That's teleportation. If they find us, we're dead!"
Zhang Fengyu was shocked when he heard Cheng En's words. He suddenly thought of a possibility: "Could it be that the ghost is just bluffing and can't kill us now? Otherwise, since ghosts can teleport, how could they let Li Xuan who jumped down from the building go? Is this the case, or can ghosts only kill people within a certain range now, and beyond its range, it can't kill us?"
