Chapter 61: Out of the Darkness(1/2)
Volume Three: The Abyss of Fear
……………
I suddenly remembered something, something I had never thought about. What kind of person am I?
Am I strong or weak? Am I really kind or a hypocrite?
I have never thought about this kind of thing before, which is actually true. After all, besides philosophers, how many people in the world are willing to spend time thinking about such meaningless problems? For better or worse, life is only a few decades, and it will soon be over.
It can reach the end of life, and regarding this issue, people may only think carefully about the summary of a person's life when his life reaches the end.
I don’t know why, but I can’t help but think of this question now. Although many literary works have provided various analyzes of human nature, I still want to make an evaluation for myself. What kind of person am I, He Fei, exactly?
Unfortunately, I can't think of it, guess it, or judge it.
Maybe I can only leave it to others to judge me.
I'm so tired, really tired, I'm so sleepy...I want to have a good sleep.
Huh? What's going on? Has the sleepiness disappeared?
Why is my tiredness disappearing and becoming more and more awake? Remember, I should have...
………
After a period of trance and darkness, He Fei slowly opened his eyes, but then he was stabbed by a light above his head and squinted his eyes. At this time, he was a little confused, and he was also confused in his mind about what was going on, but
, after being lost in thought for about a few seconds, the next moment, out of instinct, He Fei jumped up from the ground with a leaping sound!
Looking around, with the help of lights, I can see that there is a white space around me. It is very clean and quiet, and through the glass door in front, I can clearly see the broad scene outside...
Subway station waiting hall!
(This is the Abyss subway station, it’s the treatment hall, I, I’m back alive? I’m not dead!?)
It seemed difficult to accept this reality and he still didn't believe that he was still alive. As his thoughts turned around, he glanced at the body with only tattered clothes but no damage. He Fei subconsciously reached into his pocket and took out a skeleton ticket, and then, a relatively short paragraph.
A short text message appears in the field of view:
Executor: He Fei.
Number of tasks completed: 2.
Has survival value: 4.
(The mission is completed? I, I actually came back alive from the mission? Could it be...)
In his thoughts, He Fei figured out something, understood something, and recalled his experience at the end of the mission. In the impression, he seemed to be dead, and his consciousness quickly dissipated. However, the consciousness that quickly dissipated when he died happened to hear the cold sound.
Voice, in a daze, he vaguely heard a cold voice saying that the mission was completed and the teleportation function was activated. Doesn't that mean...
(Holy shit!)
Unexpectedly, the time of his death was at the same second as the return of teleportation!!!
That's right, as mentioned above, it was precisely when the teleportation function was activated that I still had a trace of consciousness, so the curse judged that I, who should have been dead, was still alive, and transmitted him back to the cursed space, so that there was no
Treat him as a dead person and leave him in the mission world.
Thinking of this, cold sweat spread all over my forehead and body, and my already frightened heart began to beat faster, becoming extremely frightened.
There was no reason why He Fei was not afraid, and he couldn't help but secretly cry out thankfully, it was so dangerous, so really dangerous. If his consciousness had dissipated a second earlier, would it be possible for him to be teleported back by the curse?
Not only that, the experience at the end of the mission was also the closest to death that He Fei had ever experienced in his life. It was even more dangerous than the experience in Crosso Town. After all, it was a real death experience, a true near-death experience. At that time
Even He Fei himself thought that it was impossible for him to still be alive, and even faced death calmly.
Fortunately, I was lucky, otherwise...
After the fear is over, what follows is joy, the joy of being lucky enough not to die!
At this moment, in the treatment hall, in addition to all injuries being completely repaired, He Fei, who had also been confirmed to have completed the mission and returned alive, was overjoyed, with an expression of survival on his face, and he was even more excited that he could survive.
Just like fear, excitement comes and goes quickly. At any rate, this is not the first time He Fei has performed a supernatural mission. It is enough to show a little bit of excitement. After gradually calming down, with a certain thought in mind, the young man slowly
Turn your head...
The first thing that caught his eye was Ye Wei, the senior female who had also recovered as before, and the beautiful woman who was saved by He Fei at the end of the mission.
At present, the beautiful woman has just woken up, just like He Fei. She just stood up. She first put her hand on her forehead and subconsciously looked forward, towards He Fei. Seeing that the young man was not dead, inadvertently, a flash of joy flashed in the woman's eyes, but
Disappeared quickly, and then, Ye Wei just stood there staring at He Fei in a state of silence. Yes, on the surface, she said nothing and fell into silence, but deep down in her heart, there was something that had been hidden for a long time.
But the concept has been greatly shaken.
(Am I wrong? Or is the concept I have been insisting on wrong? Is there really light in this world?)
Sunshine will not always exist, and night is not an eternal theme either. The world is not all black. On the contrary, most of the time, light is the main theme of life.
(It seems that I was really wrong. The brilliance of human nature... does exist.)
As for He Fei, he found that the other party was silent. Although he was surprised and puzzled, when looking at each other, the young man could still faintly catch some strange colors in the woman's eyes, and even many, many glances that had never been revealed before.
In his eyes, there was reluctance, apology, and a hint of subtle touch.
For a moment, the atmosphere was quite awkward. In order to prevent the awkward atmosphere from continuing, He Fei suddenly came back to his senses. He Fei hurriedly touched his head and smiled awkwardly at Ye Wei and said: "Ah, haha, sister Ye Wei, look, we won, we succeeded.
Survived the mission!"
It's a pity that the college student's adjustment of the atmosphere was not appreciated by the other party. Ye Wei remained silent. Seeing this, I don't know whether Ye Wei's silence caused some resonance in He Fei or evoked a certain memory of the young man. In the silence, He Fei
The smile gradually disappeared, and my mind couldn't help but think of someone.
I think of that bald man with a sinister face and a burly physique, and even more so, Peng Hu, who chose to sacrifice himself in order to save himself!
As for Peng Hu, He Fei admired him from the bottom of his heart. Although the bald man once said that he did this just to repay He Fei for saving his life, which is simple to say, but how many people in this world can truly do it at the moment of life and death?
To repay a favor with your life?
Not only that, without Peng Hu, He Fei would have been dead at that time, let alone finding a way out to complete the mission later, and there would be no way he could have returned to the subway station alive.
"Brother Peng, you died so miserably..."
Thinking of this, He Fei looked sad and couldn't help but talk about it.
Somehow, just when He Fei was thinking of Peng Hu and planned to observe three minutes of silence for the bald man, he seemed to hear what the young man said. Opposite him, Ye Wei, who had been silent just now, frowned for a moment, and then put on a suspicious expression.
Chao Hefei asked: "Huh? What were you talking about just now?"
"Uh, it's okay, I'm talking about Peng Hu."
Perhaps because he was afraid that Ye Wei had forgotten who this person was, he answered casually. After thinking about it, He Fei added specifically: "It's the bald man named Peng Hu. He introduced himself in the mission before.
"
Who would have thought that as soon as He Fei finished speaking, Ye Wei was stunned for a moment, and then stared at him with an extremely puzzled look. Until He Fei was staring at him and was confused, the beautiful woman raised her finger and pointed behind the young man with a rather stern expression.
Say something to him in a suspicious tone:
"There's nothing wrong with your eyes, right?"
Um?
Ding!
He Fei was startled for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction Ye Wei was pointing, and then...
He saw a person and a familiar figure in the corner on the right.
At this moment, under the light of the hall, He Fei not only saw the bright light reflected from someone's smooth scalp, but also heard a rough laughter that followed:
"Hahaha! I didn't expect that I didn't die!!!"
………
Hearing the rough laughter and seeing a familiar figure again, He Fei took a closer look, who could this person be if he wasn't Peng Hu?
The bald man didn’t die, he survived!?
Yes, as what He Fei and Ye Wei saw in their eyes, Peng Hu was indeed not dead. He also persisted until the end of the mission. Although it is undeniable that the bald man was indeed submerged by huge waves when he rescued He Fei, and was even killed by a woman in the end.
The worm turned into water and attacked, but whether he was lucky enough or because his vitality was too tenacious, just when the bald man was about to suffocate to death, a middle-aged security guard who was passing by the corridor happened to become the new target of the worm.
Sure enough, when she saw another living person appeared, the female tiger, who always killed people on sight, immediately changed the target of her attack and chased the middle-aged security guard with the current. As for Peng Hu...
Miraculously, he survived, and with his strong vitality, he gradually regained his breath in the suffocation state that would have killed anyone!
Of course, these are all things for later. The important thing is that the bald man did not die. He and He Fei returned to the cursed space. After waking up, he was stunned for a long time. When he saw that he was indeed not dead, the bald man immediately laughed.
"Brother Peng!"
At this moment, listening to the bald man laughing wantonly and seeing that the other party had also recovered from his injuries, He Fei's originally depressed mood disappeared instantly, he called the other party, and then walked towards the other party with a face of joy.
………
Seeing He Fei walking up to him, even though he had smiled just now, Peng Hu still showed joy and reached out to pat He Fei on the shoulder and said: "Hey! Brother, did you see? Brother Peng, I am not dead! Hahaha!"
He Fei was also happy for Peng Hu and happy that the other party could survive. Although he was still surprised as to how the other party survived? But in order not to spoil the atmosphere and seeing that the other party was very happy, he temporarily put aside his doubts and casually said
Echoed: "Yes, how can a good man like Brother Peng die so easily?"
For some reason, perhaps he cared a little about the word 'good guy'. After saying that, the bald man who had been smiling just now suddenly stopped smiling. Not only did the smile disappear, his stubbled face also twitched slightly.
After a few beats and a slight pause, he shook his head and sighed at the young man with a bitter smile: "What? You said I am a good person? Haha, I am not as good as you think..."
To be continued...
