Chapter 33: Helped a little

A contractor saw the kitten and muttered in a low voice: "There are quite a lot of cats in this cinema. I have seen several cats in the past two days, either black or white or black and white. Big."
"It may be that the mother cat has just released a litter of kittens." The contractor beside him echoed casually, all focused on the movie screen, not caring.
Every weird talk is accompanied by a series of harsh restrictions. It seems that these strange restrictions should be used to screen out those people who are really committed to death and cannot be stopped anyway.
The fifth strange talk is the same. It has three restrictions:
Between zero and three in the morning.
A man walked up to the abandoned stone bridge on the school river at the back of the school.
No matter what happens, keep walking forward, don't stop.

You will see "it".
...
Wu Fei walked alone to the stone bridge in the middle of the river.
Both sides of the bridge are surrounded by red barbed wire, which is usually impassable. In summer, the barbed wire on both sides will be overgrown with unknown vine plants. In autumn, these plants will turn yellow and wither, appearing particularly depressed and lifeless.
Wu Fei leaned on the railing of the stone bridge and rolled in from the side of the bridge.
There was no one on the bridge, and the gray mist spread all around, obscuring the view.
No matter what happens, keep walking forward, don't stop.
Before Ji Xiao they tried to solve this strange talk, but the bridge only allowed one person to go up at the same time, and all the people who walked up at that time were all eliminated without any escape. So this group just got together because of the common goal, but in fact, none of the planners who did not deliver trust to others are willing to undertake this task.
Seeing the stalemate in the situation, everyone was extremely resistant to facing the "people on the bridge" alone, and Wu Fei took the initiative to stand up.
He was brought over by him, and the solution to the fifth blame was first proposed by him, not to mention that the only thing he pursued in this level was smooth customs clearance, and he didn’t particularly care if any of these temporary companions hitchhiked. Everyone's contribution is inconsistent. Even if he is the only one, he himself has to try to unravel this strange talk in order to pass the customs.
The most important thing is that Shen Xing said that everything is assured with him.
He didn’t tell Shen Xing who would meet the people on the bridge, but Shen Xing said that everything is at ease, then it means that no matter who the person walking on the bridge is, he will come back safely-because only this person will come back safely , Their actions are considered successful.
Wu Fei has been walking forward, but a small bridge that was only ten meters long, but he did not know how long he walked, as if he would never reach the end. Even the concept of "distance" itself has gradually become blurred.
His eyes were originally empty, and there was nothing but fog. However, when he did not know when, a white figure appeared in the middle of the bridge.
His heart was pounding, his legs seemed to have lost his consciousness, but he was moving forward mechanically and continuously.
He was getting closer and closer to that figure.
The mist on the bridge gradually dissipated, and eventually, he stopped only one step away from "that person".
The man stood with his back to him and could not see his face, just a white shadow, looking down, without feet or shadow.
Wu Fei swallowed, even though she was already mentally prepared, she could not help but feel panic. Her heart seemed to jump out of her chest, blood flowed upwards all over her body, and her back shuddered.
A hoarse and shrivelled sound of sandpaper rubbing suddenly sounded, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time, and it was like a dead person who could not speak, imitating the voice of man, with a coolness that went straight through the heart: "... You... bring three things I want... I will answer you a question..."
"...What do you want?" Wu Fei tried to keep calm and answered.
"I need to……"
"A face..."
"Okay," Wu Fei swallowed. "I'll bring it to you tomorrow. If you want to get what you want, you have to ensure that I can leave safely today."
"But if I don't let you go... I can get it now..."
"Then you can't get anything else. If something happens to me, I won't know when it will be until the next person comes." Wu Fei responded.
This "person" still seems to make some sense, but according to the other party's current logic, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will let him go after he takes the third thing.
The other party seems to be thinking.
"Then you will... bring it to me at this time tomorrow..."
"I promise you, I will bring you tomorrow, let me leave now."
There is a legend that if you promised a promise to a ghost but did not honor it, no matter where you are, the other party can come to you and force you to "fulfill" the promise.
However, Wu Fei did not intend to breach the contract, nor did he intend to deceive the other party.
That thing didn't respond after listening to Wu Fei, but it didn't move.
Wu Fei stared at him, tentatively walking backwards and backwards...
He was farther and farther away from that thing, and the thick fog gradually blocked the sight in front of him, and the figure was gradually invisible again.
Wu Fei stopped until he hit something in the back.
He had returned to the place where the bridge was, and behind it was a crooked barbed wire fence full of unknown plants.
He quickly put his hands on the bridge rail and jumped off the bridge.
Yuan Sanfang and others waited for him not far away, and when he saw him coming back, he quickly came around and asked about the progress.
"What is the first thing it wants?"
Wu Fei's eyes swept across everyone's face: "It says...it wants a face."
Behind the silent campus late at night, everyone shuddered unconsciously.
They certainly can't really give this face with a face.
mask.
After the shock, almost everyone had this idea in mind.
"Give it a mask with a human face on it, it should work." Tu Shudao said.
"It can't be a casual mask, we need a mask that we have customized." Wu Feidao, "check, there is a place where you can make a mask nearby, go tomorrow morning."
From what the thing said today, the other party is letting him go for now, but it is because it wants to continue to give it what it wants. After it gets three things, it may not let itself go. So he must prepare early.
Wu Fei still did not return to his own residence tonight, but borrowed from Yuan Sanfan’s apartment. At night, he wrote his daily schedule and findings in the memo pad. When he woke up in the morning, he saw Shen Xing. 'S reply:
"Can do it, help a little."
Does this mean he believes he can do it? So I only helped myself a little?
Where did you see that I can do it? Did you not see the nervousness and panic described in my notebook when I faced that thing? Oh, it seems that he deleted the psychological description of the plot in order to maintain his face as a planner in front of Shen Xing.
No, no, it is not advisable to arbitrarily cut down on the drama, and today we will add a psychological description to the drama. Focus on expressing his shock and panic as a Marxist in this unscientific film that is not materialist at all...and a little, um, scared.
However, Wu Fei quickly discovered what Mr. Shen said "helped me a little bit".
A new message appeared on his communicator:
"Functional card [Red Heart 8: Lucky] has been effective for you, the remaining valid time: 70:32:10."
Renxin High School is located in the old town of Renxin, with a long history. Later, the city continued to move to the new town in the west, and fewer and fewer residents and businesses remained on this side, and it gradually evolved into a suburb. Many, nine or nine of them do the business of Renxin High School and Renxin University, and there is no place to customize the mask.
It may be the blessing of the lucky card. He had good luck during the day, and finally bought a white ceramic mask without a face, and invited a classmate with good skills through the Art Department of Renxin University through Da Xue. Help painted the face and lied that it was to be used in the drama.
"We need a mask. The person on the mask has lost his teeth. Although he has eyes, his eyes are blind." Wu Fei described to the other party.
"The demands of you high school students are really strange." The classmates muttered to help, but the mask was quickly painted.
Those eyes are particularly vividly painted-the fog is obstructed, and there is no slightness.
That night Wu Fei walked onto the bridge just like yesterday, and saw the people on the bridge.
This time he was no longer as nervous as he was the day before and everything seemed smoother.
The thing still didn't turn around, just let him put it on the bridge.
"What do you want for the second thing?" Wu Fei carefully placed the mask on the bridge and asked him to remind him that he would continue to bring him what he wanted. when.
"...I want a pair of feet..."
The thing didn't turn around, but Wu Fei always felt that there was a cold eye constantly looking at his feet-or maybe it was looking at the mask at his feet, which made people shudder.
"Okay, I promise you. I will bring it back to you at this time tomorrow."
Until he completely left Shiqiao, Wu Fei's heart was still beating.
Today is still going well, but by tomorrow night I am not sure if the other party will find the trick he did on the mask, and whether he will be angry and revenge for him regardless of everything.
Analyzing from the conversation on the first day, Wu Fei judged that the other party had three things he wanted very much. This kind of "want" thought was aimed at these three things together. So when it was clear that he could take his face directly, he chose to wait for him to bring three things in three nights, in order to get all three things as quickly as possible.
This mentality is very similar to when a player wants to collect a set of items.
When players collect a set, getting the first one or two will only stimulate their interest in collecting; but when they are only one or two pieces away to collect the full set, they often act extremely eager to collect this set Collect them immediately, even if you want to spend a lot of money or spend a lot of energy on it.
So Wu Fei speculates that this thing may also be the same. He is working on a set of things, as long as he has them together, he can achieve a certain purpose.
The first day is the face, the second day is the feet...
But he has both of these things, why not just take it from him at once? You don’t have to wait for a day...
