Paintings of Terror

"It happened so suddenly that we didn't have time to stop her..." the newcomer named Zhang Lifeng said with lingering fear, "After she jumped into the fire, the fire suddenly exploded, enveloping her whole body, we I can't reach in and pull her out...she, she just...she just...burned to death..."

"It was indeed too sudden," Wei Dong sighed, "Is there no warning?"

The three newcomers looked at each other for a while, and shook their heads: "She was normal before, and she complained to us about how weird the world in this painting is. It doesn't look like she was affected by something."

The old members also looked at each other for a while, and Mu Yiran asked Qin Ci: "Which cartoon has the plot of throwing fire?"

Qin Ci pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I really can't think of any cartoon like this."

Mu Yiran looked at Ke Xun again, Ke Xun received his boyfriend's gaze, and thought he couldn't let him down, it's rare that his boyfriend is so cute because he doesn't know anything about cartoons, as his boyfriend's boyfriend , You must assume the role and role of your boyfriend in the team.

Ignoring the cat's tail growing out of his buttocks, Ke Xun mobilized all his brain cells and tried his best to recall the cartoons he had watched since he was a child.

Mu Yiran didn't disturb his thinking, but just took out his phone to check the time.

It was past nine o'clock in the evening, and all the members except the dead Zhao Haicui had already returned to the original room.

According to the law that people must die every night in the painting, it is not known who among these people will die tonight and in what way.

"Currently, we have identified four of the six worlds that these six doors lead to," Mu Yiran lowered his voice slightly so as not to disturb Ke Xun's thoughts, "Among them, Doctor Qin corresponds to Yutong Ke Xun corresponds to Tiger Xueyi, Wei Dong corresponds to Magic Brush Ma Liang, and Ge Lei corresponds to Black Cat Sheriff.

"In addition, Ke Xun also discovered a hidden world, which is Haowen's corresponding good cat Mimi.

"The remaining two doors, one leads to the world with the sea and the city, and the other leads to the world where Zhao Haicui throws fire.

"Our next task is to find out as soon as possible which two cartoons the world behind these two doors belongs to, and to continue to find ways to discover the hidden world.

"We can only wait until tomorrow for the first task to complete, and now the focus is on the second task.

"According to the process of discovering the hidden world described by Ke Xun, it can be roughly determined that to trigger the hidden world, you need to use the characters or clues in the cartoon. On the surface, the characters and clues do not seem to be directly related to the ending, but they are also It's likely that the Hidden World can only be triggered through the characters in it after the cartoon has advanced to the end.

"Then we can now sort out which important characters or clues in the confirmed cartoons may become the conditions to trigger the hidden world.

"Weidong has pushed the world of the magic brush Ma Liang to the end of the story, so let's sort out the clues of this world first."

He said and looked at Weidong.

Wei Dong hurriedly said: "Ke Er and I originally thought that if we drew a door with this magical brush in my hand, we could lead to the hidden world, but after I went back to this world and tried it, there was no way to lead to another world. A world."

Mu Yiran asked, "Are there any important characters in Ma Liang's story besides the protagonist and villain?"

Wei Dong thought for a while: "Does the fairy old man who gave Ma Liang the magic pen count?"

Qin Ci said: "The old fairy only appeared once from the beginning to the end. Even if Ma Liang encountered difficulties later, he never appeared again, and you have pushed the story to the end. I'm afraid there is no way to find the old fairy again." .”

"This... co-authoring me to advance the story to the end, is it wrong?" Wei Dong was depressed.

"Not necessarily," Qin Ci comforted, "Ke Xun also pushed the story to the end, and only discovered the conditions to trigger the hidden world. Think about it carefully, and don't miss any possibility."

"What about Yutong?" Zhu Haowen asked Qin Ci.

"I punished the evil officials and foreigners inside according to the plot of the cartoon," Qin Ci said, "I searched inside for a while, but found no clues. Of course, at that time I didn't know that Ke Xun used this method to trigger the crime. Hidden World, now that I think about it, the more important character or clue might be the basin of the fisherman, the ending in the cartoon is that the fisherman returned to the bottom of the basin, maybe I should also..."

"No," Wei Dong hurriedly waved his hands, "If you go back to the bottom of the pelvis, what if you can't change back?"

"Maybe there is such a possibility." Zhu Haowen said expressionlessly.

"This is indeed a dilemma." Qin Ci frowned slightly.

"According to the process of Ke Xun's triggering of the hidden world," Mu Yiran said suddenly, who hadn't spoken for a long time, "Both cartoons, Tiger Xueyi and Good Cat, have cats as characters, and the characters in Tiger Xueyi A cat is exactly the condition to trigger the hidden world, so can we think that other hidden worlds are also triggered by the same pattern.”

When everyone heard this, they were astonished, and Zhu Haowen said: "So what we need to find may be the common characters in every cartoon, such as the mouse in the good cat and the ear in the black cat sheriff. "

"That's right!" Wei Dong clapped his hands, "Then let me think about the animals in Ma Liang's magic brush - Ma Liang has drawn a chicken, a sheep, and a cow, chicken, sheep and cow! Just think about it , which cartoon also has chickens, sheep and cows?"

Everyone fell into deep thought, and when they were retrieving the memories in their minds, Ke Xun suddenly clapped his hands: ""Huo Tong" meow! I remembered, the protagonist of Huo Tong's cartoon turned into a big fireball, Zhao Haicui Is the corresponding cartoon this one Meow?"

He has been thinking about the question that Mu Yiran didn't get the answer just now.

Qin Ci gave an "oh" with comprehension: "It's very possible, thanks to the fact that you still remember such an old cartoon, I hardly have the impression of it."

Ke Xun pulled the cat ears on his head: "The reason why I still remember this cartoon is really meow because this film is simply one of the shadows of my childhood, meow! The protagonist's appearance after turning into a fireball is superb. Weird meow."

"Then it seems that Zhao Haicui's corresponding world is Huotong." Qin Ci looked at Ke Xun, then at Mu Yiran.

But Mu Yiran also looked at Ke Xun: "What is Huo Tong's protagonist?"

"What is 'what'?... Meow, of course it's a human." Ke Xun tilted his head and looked at him curiously, flicking the cat's tail behind his buttocks.

Mu Yiran's fingers stuck in his trouser pockets moved slightly, but his face was still calm and calm: "But Zhao Haicui is wearing a rabbit headdress. If we look at it from your example, wearing a cat headdress will change your appearance." If it is a cat, then Zhao Haicui should be a rabbit."

"Hey, it makes sense, meow!" Ke Xun opened his eyes wide, tilted his head and thought for a while, "That's right, I'm sure that the main character of Huotong is Renmeow, this cartoon seems to be a story about ethnic minorities. Meow."

Mu Yiran turned his head and asked the three newcomers: "Did Zhao Haicui change in posture or language when he was with you?"

The three of them looked at each other for a while and shook their heads. Zhang Lifeng said with a bit of a bad face: "We were all panicked at the time, and we were all separated at the beginning, and we found each other later. After we met, we were only anxious to find someone back The road, the weather was cold, we were panicked and afraid after we got lost, and we didn’t calm down a little until we entered the cave with the fire, but because there was a strange old man in the cave, we were all a little scared, and we didn’t even bother to observe carefully other..."

Wei Miao, who was wearing a dragon horn headdress, suddenly said hesitantly: "I don't know if it's my illusion, the moment Sister Haicui jumped into the fire, I seemed to see her shadow cast by the fire on the cave wall , like a...rabbit..."

"And," Qin Ci said, "the protagonist of the fire boy's story didn't jump into the fire, but after swallowing the fire, he turned into a fireball."

"Meow, so the world that Zhao Haicui corresponds to is not Huotong meow." Ke Xun flicked his tail.

"What is the kindling in the fire boy?" Mu Yiran asked Ke Xun again.

"It's just... the fire seed or the fire bead? I don't know what it is, meow." Ke Xun wagged his tail.

The last "meow meow" was really cute, Mu Yiran took his hand out of his trouser pocket, and with a light pinch of two fingers, he clamped the tip of Ke Xun's tail.

Ke Xun looked at him with wide wet eyes.

But Mu Yiran didn't look at him again, and twirled the fleshy, warm and fluffy tail with his fingertips subtly. On the surface, he still looked like a stern, lonely and personable big brother, and his eyes fell on Qin Ci: "" What is the style of the animation "Fire Boy"?"

Qin Ci thought for a while: "It seems to be a paper-cut animation."

"Where's Hailibu?" Mu Yiran continued to ask quietly.

"Hai Libu is the most common kind of animation." Qin Ci said.

Mu Yiran's quiet eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and then he said in a deep voice: "Now I can roughly confirm one problem: the magic brush Ma Liang is a puppet animation, Yutong and Huotong are paper-cut animations, tigers learn art, Good Kitty, Sheriff Black Cat, and Hailibu are the most common animation styles.

"Weidong's counterpart is the magic brush Ma Liang. When he did not enter his corresponding world, his body changed. The way of the mutation is to slowly transform into a puppet personification in the style of the magic brush Ma Liang.

"Ke Xun, Haowen, Zhao Haicui, and I correspond to the common style of animation world, so there is no change in the style of animation like Weidong, but a change directly in the setting of the characters in the animation. The characters are animals. If the character is human, it will gradually become an animal, and if the role is human, it will take over the fate of the character.

"Then can we infer from this that the puppet transformation of Qi Qiang and Huang Pi is because the world they correspond to is also a puppet-style cartoon?

"As well as Luo Wei's paper-based mutation, is it because the world he corresponds to is also a paper-cut cartoon? For example... "The Fire Boy"?"

Everyone fell into shock and thought because of Mu Yiran's deduction, but Ke Xun let out a "meow" and twisted his tail in Mu Yiran's hand: "That's right! It's Huotong meow! Luo Wei got Isn’t the prop the red round stone meow? Maybe this is the so-called fire ball meow in the cartoon!”

"Guys..." Wei Dong's trembling voice suddenly sounded, "It will be eleven o'clock in five minutes..."

eleven o'clock.This time, will death come to randomly select people in the initial room, or will it... enter the cruel process of voting for the dead again?
