Chapter 824 Drawing Lots
As the mission progressed, they felt more and more familiar. They had walked this road yesterday, and they could already see the office building not far away.
Their company is on the 9th floor of the office building, and they are sure that "Wang Jie" is waiting for them in the corridor outside the company door.
"Brother Qiang." Yuan Xiaotian came up and said in a low voice: "This is the road we walked yesterday, and there are cars parked nearby." He gestured with his eyes, and Xia Qiang followed his gaze. , there was a red sports car parked on the roadside, very conspicuous.
“I had an impression of this car yesterday.” Yuan Xiaotian whispered, “There are also pedestrians nearby. I saw a few familiar people just now.”
"This is a complete repetition of what happened yesterday." Zhou Tong looked solemn.
With cold eyes slowly sweeping around, Xia Qiang looked at the passers-by passing by him.
There are urban white-collar workers holding coffee in a hurry, middle-aged men standing on the roadside smoking and talking on the phone, and students carrying schoolbags who have just come out of the breakfast shop
All kinds of people People, all kinds of faces, each one is very vivid.
But after watching for a long time and too much, Xia Qiang suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
It seems... these people are more like robots following the steps.
Their thoughts, emotions, and even bodies are all set by the code and remain unchanged.
They have been repeating this mechanical and rigid life.
It's a weird feeling, but at this moment, Xia Qiang really thinks so.
Seeing Xia Qiang’s strange expression, Zhou Tong asked, “Brother Qiang, are you thinking of something?”
After retracting his thoughts, Xia Qiang raised an unavoidable question, which is also the biggest threat to them now. "I think Wang Jie is still waiting for us." Xia Qiang said slowly.
"It must be like this." Yuan Xiaotian gritted his teeth and said.
"Then how should we deal with this time?" .
After a moment of hesitation, it was Huaiyi who spoke this time: "The last time the person died was because he was alone and was alone with Wang Jie. Let's not separate this time."
"Yes, just stay in the office and don't go out!" The fat man looked very imposing. People who didn't know better would think that he was also very powerful.
Xia Qiang didn't know what he was thinking about. He didn't quite agree with what Huaiyi and Fatty said. After a moment of silence, he exhaled and said, "Although it looks like this, I don't feel that way." Simple. "
Because there were few clues and it was very confusing, even if we continued the discussion, there would be no results. Xia Qiang shook his head and ended the discussion.
At this time, the group of people had arrived at the office building. It was still a familiar scene, but this time, Jiang Cheng stopped and whispered a few words to Sister Wen. She nodded and walked in first. .
After Sister Wen disappeared, Jiang Cheng turned around and said bluntly: "Wang Jie is still waiting for us up there."
"Yes." Xia Qiang said.
“For the time being, this is reincarnation, or a closed loop of time. We are trapped in a short period of time and space, and everything will happen again every day.”
“Think To escape from the mission, we must break this time loop, otherwise we will all die." After a pause, Jiang Cheng said with a serious expression: "Like Li Mengyao, we were killed by that thing."
"In a way like ours. In a way that is incomprehensible now,” he added at last.
"Then what should we do now?" Zhou Tong asked after hearing this.
"There is no way at the moment. We can only try bit by bit to collect clues. Only when there are enough clues that can be connected into a line will we provide a complete idea." Jiang Cheng said bluntly.
"What I want to ask now is, are you ready?" Jiang Cheng looked at everyone and asked, with a hint of indescribable weirdness in his tone.
"If you have something to say, just say it, don't hide it." Yuan Xiaotian's mentality changed because of Li Mengyao's death, and his tone was not good.
Jiang Cheng did not argue with him, but turned to look at Xia Qiang. He was the one who could really make the decision among the group.
"We need to go alone with Wang Jie." Xia Qiang looked at everyone, "This is also to avoid making mistakes in guessing. We may have to face unbearable consequences."
When the words "unbearable" came out, everyone understood that Xia Qiang was worried about the safety of Lin Muyun and Lin Muwan.
For people like Xia Qiang, anyone can be sacrificed, including themselves, but Lin Muyun and Lin Muwan, who are the target of the mission, absolutely cannot.
These two people must live.
Thinking along this line of thinking, Xia Qiang’s worries are not unreasonable. Li Mengyao’s death clearly told them that if they were alone with “Wang Jie”, they would most likely be killed, in a very strange way. way, died on a rainy night that didn't exist in the first place.
So this time, everyone should actively avoid it, that is, as the fat man said, you will not leave the office until you die.
But can this really avoid being killed?
On this point, Jiang Cheng and Xia Qiang’s judgments are consistent.
Possible, but highly unlikely.
So they must make other plans. For example, if "Wang Jie" finds that no one sends her off, or no one leaves her alone, will this trigger a series of uncontrollable reactions?
The most likely possibility is to use some incomprehensible means to force one of them to be alone.
And those who could be fooled by this method... Jiang Cheng glanced at Lin Muyun and Lin Muwan. The most likely ones were these brothers and sisters.
After all, compared to people like myself, these two people are just ordinary people.
And once taken away, even Li Mengyao would not be able to escape the pursuit. If it were placed on either of them, the result would be foreseeable.
So, once a situation arises where all methods have been tried and still fail, then the only way to ensure that both of them survive is to choose one person to take the initiative to follow "Wang Jie" and leave. , playing the role of Li Mengyao before, attracting firepower.
"Let's decide by drawing lots." Xia Qiang said, "There are seven of us in total, one of us will be drawn..."
Jiang Cheng suddenly spoke with a strong tone: "Captain Xia, you made a mistake in your calculation. There are 9 of us."
"Young Master Lin and Miss Lin are ordinary people with no ability to protect themselves. If they are really involved, , there is no chance of survival, aren't you forcing things on others?" Zhou Tong looked at Jiang Cheng and said dissatisfied.
Jiang Cheng looked at her and said calmly: "This is your business, what does it have to do with me? You can't ask my brother to die just because you have a mission. There is no such reason."< br>
If Lin Muyun and Lin Muwan do not participate, then the probability of the three Jiangcheng being drawn will increase a lot. Judging from the current situation, no matter who is drawn, it will be difficult to survive.
Jiang Cheng even began to call Wu from the bottom of his heart, but as before, there was no reply. (End of chapter)
