a hundred ways to die

"Shen Yue, Shen Yue!! You guessed right, there was indeed something left behind in that painting, behind it, experts later dismantled the painting and found a letter inside, take a look!"

After Tao Liqun opened the door of the coffee shop, he yelled, holding a piece of paper in his hand, but when he entered the door, he saw Shen Li sitting directly opposite the door, staring at the mobile phone in a daze, and hearing Tao Liqun's shout, he still didn't take his eyes off Moved away from the phone screen, but nodded, indicating that he knew.

Tao Liqun looked at Shen Yue suspiciously, what's going on?How did this monster start to change his habits? He walked over and handed the information in his hand to Shen Yue, "As you said in the text message, the painting is really important, and there must be the information we want in it."

The new information was spread out in front of Shen Li, it was a diary.

: Today is the first day on the boat. I am very glad that I met two good boatmen. One of them put me on board, while the other is willing to take me in. I want to meet that person, although my memory is already He has become incomplete, and can only rely on these things in his hand to find him...

daytwo: Today is my second day in Chuanshan. The boatman brought me some good food, including fruits. Activities in the boat, if you search slowly, you will always find that person, after all, he is also on the boat.

In the following week, these diaries were all the same, talking about the process of finding that person, but in the end they found nothing, and things made substantial progress a week later.

: The boatman told me today that the captain knew of my existence, and he wanted to see me. He had an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness. No matter how powerful I am in France, this is the sea, their world, and I am a little scared .

dayeight: I just went to see the captain, they prepared a banquet for me, everyone looked at me with weird eyes, I thought I would go crazy if this continued, so I pretended to go out for a little while, and did One relaxes, and wrote this letter by the way, if I die, you can read this letter, and you will know who killed me.I finally decided to hide this thing in the painting, you are so gentle and smart, you might be able to discover my secret after seeing it.

Finally, I want to apologize, I'm sorry, I couldn't figure out what you look like in the end, I just know that you wear a cloak, I really feel sorry...

The letter came to an abrupt end here, and the information that could be extracted from it was that the captain wanted to kill this person. The original identity of the owner of the letter was not low in the country at the time, and the reason why he came to this ship was to find a The person was finally killed, and before he died, he left a message for the person he had been looking for.

That's right, the content of the painting and the magnificent party hall in the photo can actually be equivalent to the portrayal of the murder scene.The dark spots printed on the oil painting are probably not paint at all, but blood.The owner of this letter and this painting was killed in this room.

Later, someone replaced him and completed the half-painted painting. If the person who filled in the painting was the murderer who killed him, Shen Yue thought it was impossible.

It was found in the letter that since the man who was killed was hiding something behind the painting, it meant that he thought that those who would kill him might not care about the painting at all. Finally, he carefully made up the entire painting, but except for the ruler in this room, the rest are uneducated boatmen, and they cannot draw such precise things.

No, in fact, there is another person on this ship, and that is the one who never appeared... the boy in the painting.

In the end, the people on this ship probably all died, the murderer and the murdered, otherwise there would not be the formation of the ghost ship now, but what made the painter die, and he could take revenge on the rest of the people, The answer to this mystery has been solved in the letter, it is the boy in the painting.

A general guess has already been formed in Shen Li's mind. First, the nobleman boarded the boat because he was looking for a certain person. He met two well-meaning boatmen. Under their guidance, he met the owner of the boat and invited him to the banquet. He was killed at the time, and the person he had been looking for took revenge, and many people in the boat died. In the end, after making up the painting, the person who took revenge also... died.

The placement of tableware in the restaurant also shows this point. An empty seat means that there was a person sitting here at the beginning, but there was no tableware, which means that he was not a person participating in the banquet. So what is the meaning of this person's appearance? , the knife and fork pointing to the same place around it, represents, possibly, death.

The last suspense is the mysterious avenger, reason tells Shen Yue that the avenger may also die in the drifting sea in the end, but strangely, he is unwilling to admit in his heart that the boy... died.

Shen Yue's phone rang at this time, Tao Liqun was woken up, and slowly stood up, but saw Shen Yue who finally put down the phone, looking at his phone screen in a daze.Then he put the photo next to the phone, Tao Liqun stood up from the seat in surprise, the boy on the oil painting, and the one on Shen Li's phone screen were clearly the same person! !

"Liqun, do you believe in resurrection from the dead? Immortality?" Shen Yue asked his old friend with his eyes fixed on the screen.

Although the situation in front of him was a bit weird, Tao Liqun still said reflexively, "No, the current technology must not be able to do it."

Shen Yue raised his head and looked at Tao Liqun with excitement, "Liqun, I think I have found a way to become normal."

The mysterious boy on the ghost ship, an avenger, Shen Yue intuitively has an inseparable relationship with the owner of the shop. Today's diary brings too many clues. It is repeatedly mentioned in the diary that the artist can no longer remember who he is looking for Doesn't his appearance match his current situation?

The boy's appearance is not ordinary, but isn't it interesting why people around him don't remember him?Shen Yue felt as if he had discovered a world where he would no longer be bored in the future, but the key to open the door of this world was in the hands of others.

Turning off the phone, Tao Liqun fell into a coma again, and Shen Yue shook him awake. Tao Liqun had no reflection on what he saw just now, but looked at the gentle Shen Yue who was smiling at him in horror, feeling as if he had goose bumps all over his body .

After packing up the materials in his hand, Tao Liqun was taken back to the research institute by taxi in a daze, while Shen Yue returned to his own office. Within a few minutes, he went back and forth again, ordered a cup of coffee and planned to sit down for a long time .This time it was no longer as aimless as before.

Shen Yue spilled the coffee in his hand, and the clerk obviously knew something about the businessman who lived upstairs in the coffee shop, so he ran over to help, Shen Yue cleaned up the broken glass residue, and then asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Your store Where's the boss here? I don't think I've seen it before..."

The clerk shook his head helplessly, "We haven't seen it before, but it's strange, every time the boss's work is done before we realize it, so we all said in private that maybe the boss is one of these clerks." One, that's why it can be so silent.

Shen Yue confirmed his conjecture, and sat back on the chair again. It seemed that the clerk of this store did not know the news of the owner. He looked outside, and there was no one beside the mirror-like glass door of the coffee shop, and the new coffee was served Coming up, Shen Yue patiently waited for the "fish" to arrive.

The heart beat a little fast, Shen Yue put his hands on his chest, feeling this novel beating rhythm, he didn't know what this feeling was called, and he didn't know how to describe it, but it was not bad.

If it is an ordinary person, they must know what words to use to describe such emotions, we call him: tension.Yes, Shen Yue was a little nervous, his palms were sweating a little, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Shen Yue even practiced how to talk to that person a few times. It was amazing that Shen Yue didn't use cold data to analyze it for the first time. A person, but just trying to think how can he, the unknown and mysterious shopkeeper, say a word.

But Shen Li was doomed to be disappointed. On the first day, Shen Li didn't wait, the second day...the third day...the nth day...

The shop owner seemed to have disappeared, and he didn’t appear again for a long time. However, Shen Yue didn’t get nothing during this time. Some of the delicious desserts in the restaurant were made by the chef in the shop, but the original menu came from the shop owner. He can say welcome, with a gentle voice, and doesn't care much about the business in the store. He likes to read books and eat cakes made by himself.

During the period when the shopkeeper disappeared, Shen Yue searched for clues of this person's existence bit by bit, and gradually portrayed the image of this person to fullness.

On a rainy night, Shen Yue was the last customer of the coffee shop. He lay on the table and looked outside. It turns out that the coffee shop is really in a very magical location. Looking outside from here, you can see the feasting lights in the distance. But that light can't reach here, and it is quietly isolated from the world.

what a place...

The clerk in the coffee shop was already arranging all kinds of utensils, and there was a slight "ping-pong" sound. Shen Yue turned on the phone, then looked around the coffee shop, stood up slowly, and stuffed the dinner that was no longer hot in front of him. In the mouth, ready to leave.

His feet were a little numb. Shen Yue didn't go out, but stood at the door. The sound of the wind howling could be heard inside the glass door, and the raindrops became heavier. Shen Yue moved his feet, although he walked from the coffee shop to the stairs outside. It's not far from the place where I live, but according to the rain, I might become a drowned chicken, Shen Yue curled his lips somewhat unwillingly, then opened the door, and rushed out...

The stairs are at the back of the cafe, Shen Yue needs to go around the cafe to see the entrance of the stairs, for some reason, he feels something is wrong, there are many rats around the corner, they are running away in the rain like crazy, The earthworm drew strange water marks on the concrete floor, and then the body of the swinging earthworm was trampled in half by a fat mouse.

The tree was blown down by the strong wind, but Shen Yue could clearly see the scar at the broken place, which was similar to the scratch of a wild animal, dividing the tree from the middle. Shen Yue's footsteps slowed down, and when he passed this corner, he could see the stairs. But another voice told him...don't go there.

Shen Li hesitated for a moment, but the pace under his feet quickened, and then he heard a strange sound, like the panting of a wild animal, the stairs gradually appeared in Shen Li's perspective, and he saw a creature that he had never seen before .

It was a standing wolf. When Shen Yue looked there, the monster also looked at Shen Yue. The dark green light was especially frightening in the dark night.

Shen Yue's heart was pounding. The werewolf's forelimbs were so long that they could even touch the ground when they slumped down. The back was bent so badly that the difference from normal humans became more and more obvious, and it also looked more terrifying.Slowly, thinking about Shen Yue walking over.

Time seemed to stand still, Shen Yue clenched his fists tightly, if this place rushes back to the coffee shop, obviously there is not enough time, but there is nothing around that can fight against werewolves, only himself, this is the first time Shen Yue felt a kind of helpless Afraid, something secreted from the werewolf's mouth was sticky and mixed with the rain, Shen Yue also took a step back at the same time.

Suddenly, without any warning, a black umbrella blocked Shen Yue's sight, and a gentle and steady voice sounded behind him, without any warning, he said: "If you are afraid, don't look."

The door to another world, open...
