Paintings of Terror

Luo Wei really couldn't think of how Xiao Qinxian's smoking would affect the whole clue.

Why does the painting go out of its way to conceal this?

Just thinking about it, everyone arrived in front of the cafeteria.

Qin Ci stopped and looked at Luo Wei: "Because the sky is still relatively bright, let's show everyone the beast mark on his face, and see if there is any change from last night."

In fact, there is no need to look carefully, everyone's face is shaking in front of Luo Wei all the time, he has already remembered all the subtleties in his heart: "Nothing has changed, it is almost the same as last night, except that Zhao Yanbao's red marks suddenly appeared today. Appeared, and the color gradually deepened."

"What shape is it?" Zhao Yanbao couldn't help asking.

"It's not very pictorial, it's just a swipe, like a pen dipped in cinnabar." Luo Wei described.

Zhao Yanbao nodded and didn't say anything else. As the night fell, it would be a lie to say that there was no fear in his heart - although the most important person to him had left, it didn't mean that the living became the survivor. ——There are many ways to remember the dead, and it is not necessarily necessary to follow them.

Therefore, Zhao Yanbao was also afraid of death.

Zhao Yanbao was already like this, and the panic of the others was even deeper.

Xiao Qinxian even started to hide his nervousness with a sneer: "You guys are still in the mood to eat. If you have this time, why don't you find a way to move in together, so that even if danger comes, you can resist it together!"

"That's right, I think their detective office is pretty big, we can all move in and live there!" Yu Ji nodded his head in agreement after hearing this, his face was always slightly pale, and as night fell, Even paler, "I'm really afraid, the roommate who slept with me last night will be today... I can still see Zhichun when I close my eyes."

Lion also said: "If I can live with Dr. Qin, I feel more secure! If the beast in someone's body really does something wrong, maybe Dr. Qin can find a way to help."

Qin Ci smiled wryly after hearing this: "I'm just an ordinary surgeon, not a god, and I can't do anything about beasts. Moreover, the arrangement of the residence is established. This is one of the rules of this game. If someone violates it, there is no need When the beast reacts, I'm afraid it will die in other unfavorable accidents first."

"Backlash?" Ke Xun grasped the word sensitively.

Qin Ci further explained, "Beasts are originally produced in people's hearts. At first it may be just an idea, but with lingering and repeated thinking, it will gradually take root in the body and grow into a beast body—— It’s not too much to call it backlash.”

"I'm just wondering if this kind of thought can make the beast smaller or disappear." Ke Xun looked at Qin Ci, but still couldn't hide his worry about this old partner, "For example, Chi Lei, the knot in her heart is dying. It was only later that I got relieved, if she could think about it before she died, would it make the beast fade away?"

"There is no corresponding case in the materials I have read. After all, no one in this city can see the red marks on the face of the living, so it is impossible to prevent them in advance. Even if those beasts fade away, no one can Proof." Qin Ci's expression was regretful.

Zhu Haowen had already finished smoking a cigarette in front of the restaurant, extinguished the cigarette butt, and put it where it should be placed in the city's garbage bin: "Don't be blocked in front of people, let's all go in, talk while eating. "

Although everyone has their own concerns, there is always food to eat. Only when you are full can you resist various dangers—although these foods may only be feeding the beasts in your body.

Luo Wei walked beside Zhu Haowen: "Did you hear what I just said?"

Zhu Haowen was a little puzzled: "Is it about smoking?"

"Yes," Luo Wei nodded, "Many public places here have smoking areas, such as in hospitals, but unfortunately there are very few smokers among us, so you can only go to the smoking area to smoke alone."

Luo Wei spoke carefully, for fear that Zhu Haowen would push himself back with a completely irrelevant sentence.

But Zhu Haowen heard it very clearly: "First, I seem to be the only one in our group who smokes, and second, I don't like to go to the smoking area with people, especially those I don't know well."

Luo Wei was overjoyed. It was like using code words to code words. Some key words cannot be said, but other languages ​​can be used in a clever way: "Are those areas divided into men and women? It's purely curious."

Zhu Haowen felt even more strange, and felt that these questions were completely out of line with Luo Wei's personality, but he still replied: "It is reasonable to say that there is no difference, but people usually stay away from the opposite sex, especially those ladies, they seem to prefer to be in groups. Son—the smoking area in the hospital here is not set up exclusively for women.”

Luo Wei was agitated for a while, wanted to say something but was a little incoherent, looked back, and saw Mu Yiran who was observing him, it was like seeing a life-saving straw.

Mu Yiran stepped closer to the two with his long legs, and glanced at Xiao Qinxian in front of him: "I also saw her smoking last night, and she smoked a lot. Considering her performance during the day, this is indeed a question worthy of scrutiny." The problem."

Maybe because there were too many things during the day, and Xiao Qinxian was not someone Mu Yiran was interested in observing, so he ignored it for the time being.

Luo Wei felt that he was so moved that tears were about to fall: "So, the things we said...you won't forget it in a few minutes."

Mu Yi suddenly laughed: "I don't think so. This should also be a rule, but any secret that is actively discovered and mentioned by the people in the city should not disappear out of thin air in this city."

Confused Zhu Haowen looked at Luo Wei: Is this buddy going to bend the rhythm...

Luo Wei decided to express his thoughts in one breath: "Actually, I came out of your room last night. I saw her in the corridor. She was in a strange state at that time, and she mentioned that someone called her room..."

Mu Yiran suddenly turned his gaze to the front: "I hope that the seat yesterday will not be taken by others, it is the quietest and most hidden place."

Luo Wei: ...It must be the feeling of suddenly pouring a bottle of ice water into a pot of instant noodles that Gudu Gudu just cooked.

Something seemed to have happened at the cash register. Several members were arguing loudly with the cashier. Among them, Xiao Qinxian was the loudest: "There are still 33 consumption times?! How is it possible? We have only used it twice!"

The cashier explained patiently with a smile: "Your limit on this card is 39 times, and you have made two purchases so far, and now you have 33 times left."

"Damn..." Xiao Qinxian couldn't help but swear, "Can you do arithmetic? Subtracting two times from 39 times is obviously 37 times! How come it becomes 33 times! You really know how to do this in this shop Slaughtering customers, using the initial purchase as a gimmick for free, attracting many repeat customers, and then making a fuss in Cary! It’s just that your approach is too low-end, making people have to doubt your IQ and EQ!”

Ke Xun made a gesture to tell Xiao Qinxian to shut up, and handed his card to the cashier with the same displeased face: "Miss sister, help me to see my card~"

The lady at the cashier looked at this sunny and handsome sports fan brother, she felt a little better, and took the card to operate: "Sir, your situation is the same, now there are 37 consumption times, this time After swiping the card, there will be 33 remaining times."

"Why is that? Young lady," Ke Xun continued to maintain a sunny smile, "We are new here, and we don't quite understand some of the rules."

"This is Xincheng, the dates are all in even numbers," the cashier used a sweet voice to popularize knowledge for Ke Xun, "Yesterday was April 4th, today is April 6th, and tomorrow is April 4th." day."

"Ah..." Ke Xun froze for a moment, this is simply a godly rule, even better than the daughter country, the straight country and the black tooth country.

The other members were also dumbfounded, and Lion even broke out a series of complaints in English, and then cleared his throat and said: "Ni means that this day has been here for at least two days, even if our bodies feel Arrival is 24 hours, but it is calculated as 48 hours in this city. Although we only had 3 meals, it is calculated as 6 meals in this city.”

Wei Dong also couldn't help interjecting: "In other words, a 40-year-old person in this city is actually 20 years old."

"I'm so confused by you," the cashier couldn't help laughing, "That's probably what it means. I was born in this city, and I'm used to this rhythm of time. A lot of philosophical thinking. — I think that’s what’s so romantic about this city, everything should be in pairs.”

"Okay, whoever you like, let's take a seat first." Wei Dong pulled Fa Xiao and walked to the table yesterday, "Ke Er, you have to watch me, I want to drink again... "

Mu Yiran walked behind, stopped in front of the cashier and asked, "I'm just curious, are there many foreigners in this city?"

The lady at the cashier felt that she was particularly lucky today, and her mood improved accordingly: "There are many people who have moved to our heart city from other places. After all, the scenery here is beautiful and the city planning is also very good."

Mu Yiran further asked: "Do foreigners need to apply for a temporary residence permit when they come here? Are they treated as locals, or are they still regarded as foreigners?"

"Don't worry about this, our city has never been xenophobic. If there is a stamp of our city on the ID card, then you are brothers and sisters from the same city!" The cashier said with a slightly red face, "And, intermarriage between people from the same city will It’s supported by a lot of benefits.”

"What if people from the same city intermarry with people outside the Xincheng area?" Mu Yiran's eyes became deeper because of thinking.

The cashier became more talkative because of this look: "I have never seen people outside the Xincheng area. The law and order here is so good that they cannot enter illegally. If people in the city want to go out, they will never It is possible to come back again, and similarly, if outsiders move to settle here, it is impossible to go out again.”

"It's impossible to go out again?" Mu Yiran asked again with a heavy tone.

"Our city is so nice, why go out?" the cashier asked back with a smile.

Mu Yiran also smiled faintly: "Yes, this is indeed a magical and beautiful city, which makes many people linger and forget to return."
