Paintings of Terror

Luo Wei glanced over the faces of the crowd, and finally stopped at Mu Yiran: "That is to say, this beast existed before, but it doesn't exist now, and it will exist again in the future?"

"Then now, is there or is it not?" Wei Dong asked seriously, but it was still difficult to get rid of the suspicion of 'talking about cross talk to disrupt the situation'.

Xiao Qinxian seems to be intentionally creating a scary atmosphere: "There is no 'now', but maybe there will be tomorrow, or even tonight."

"Crawl out of the bottomless pit." Because of fear, Lion remembered Mu Yiran's words clearly just now, and his voice was a little hoarse: "In the end, it will return to sinking."

Abstract things that are too sectarian are sometimes subconsciously kept away because of their obscurity.

When everyone was silent, Zhao Yanbao said: "I think "Revelation" is too religious, and it doesn't seem to have any direct relationship with the city setting of Xincheng. But the forehead that Ke Xun mentioned just now should not be a coincidence. In other words, The image of those of us who have the mark of the beast is more suitable for the woman riding the beast. The writing on the forehead of the woman reflects the evil language, or it can be said that it is a flag waved to indicate the purpose. Then we What about the beasts? Judging from the shape of the red marks on the foreheads of Chi Lei and Zhichun, these marks seem to have no similarities with the shapes of the beasts in their bodies..."

Zhao Yanbao felt that once he concentrated on thinking, he could relieve some of the pain in his heart.

"We don't need to study these things in detail now," Qin Ci felt that his train of thought was repeatedly interrupted by the members, and at this time he finally smoothed it out a little bit, "I think the most important thing about what Xiaomu said just now is that this The relationship between the woman and the beast—let’s not get involved with the previous analysis for now, such as the beast being a demon, let’s just talk about the woman and the scarlet beast. She and it seem to be a community of interests, but among them There will always be a stronger one—whether the woman dominates the beast, or the beast dominates the woman."

The topic seemed to be developing towards an unsolvable philosophical category, Wei Dong sighed: "Mysterious..."

Mu Yiran no longer quoted the words in the book, but gave a simple answer in his own words: "Beasts are women's mounts and comrades-in-arms at first, but they will eventually eat women back."

"Beasts are born from our hearts, but in the end they eat us back, which seems to make sense." Zhao Yanbao said.

After everyone listened, they finally had a feeling of "taking off their pants and farting" that "it is obviously a very simple truth that needs to be discussed at length".

"I don't think this beast refers to each of us." Mu Yiran's words seemed to have magic power, and each word tightened people's slack nerves. "Or, the beast of each of us is just this beast Particles scattered by a beast."

Wei Dong was completely confused: "Isn't it still a precious work of art just now? Why did it suddenly become particles again?"

"No matter which world you are in, no matter what environment you are in, ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, everything in society is in the service of centralization." Zhao Yanbao expressed his thoughts aside, "Including the value of those artworks, those so-called auctions, In fact, they are all relying on the breath of the top of society to survive."

Zhu Haowen, who hadn't said a word for a long time, also said: "We have come back to the original point after going around in circles. What is the symbolic meaning of this beast? Personally speaking, it is a demon, but what about a city or a world? ?”

Mu Yiran: "This so-called 'beast' must have an inseparable connection with this city, we have to figure out why Chu Zhiyong let us get the beast, and what benefits 'beast resources' will have on the police station and even the entire city. ——If you can grasp this essence, many puzzles will be easily solved.”

"Xincheng is a city of love on the surface, but the two beasts that have been stripped out so far are not only related to the love between men and women, they seem to be various psychological refractions based on love," Su Benxin also joined the discussion camp.

Looking at the completely dark night outside the window, Xiao Qinxian seemed restless: "I don't think it's useless for you to say it! It's going to be night soon! Someone has to die tonight! What should I do?!"

Su Benxin said word by word: "I haven't finished what I said just now. We are currently unable to grasp the purpose of centralization in this city. We can only start from the individual and use the most stupid way to solve it," he said, looking at Zhao Yanbao , "Can some things be released by telling a psychologist? This will make the beast in the body temporarily put away its minions?"

Because Su Benxin's description was so vivid, Yu Ji even felt uncomfortable in his stomach, as if the beast inside started to use its claws to try to break the bondage...

Ke Xun looked at Mu Yiran beside him, and couldn't help comforting him: "The reaction of the big guys is slow, and they can't turn around all at once."

Mu Yiran smiled faintly: "I was a bit aggressive, but sooner or later the significance of beasts to the city is a puzzle we have to solve."

"Maybe I can find out something at the animal trading market tomorrow," Ke Xun patted the boss on the back, "Right now, I'm just thinking about Dr. Qin and Hao Wen'er... oh yes, old Qin , Brother Qin."

Mu Yiran seemed to realize something, and suddenly looked at Luo Wei who was sitting on the other side of him. He felt that this person hadn't made a sound for a long time, and felt strange again: "You, have been silent?"

Luo Wei sighed, and answered the irrelevant question: "You haven't forgotten about the cigarettes, have you?"—that's the code that we both managed to match.

"I haven't forgotten," Mu Yiran said, "Actually, your solution to this matter is very good. It seems that you can fool Hua by going deep."

"Well, I failed three times in a detour just now." Luo Wei looked down at the lemonade in his glass, "Every time during the 'space' period, you poured lemonade for me, and filled it up three times in succession."

Mu Yiran raised his eyebrows, he really didn't have the habit of taking care of others' refills.

Zhu Haowen, who was sitting a little far away: ...

"Hao Wen'er, just talk about it," Wei Dong on the side continued to lobby Zhu Haowen, "Speak out what's on your mind, it might save lives, or just tell me?"

"There's nothing to say." Zhu Haowen remained expressionless.

"Look~ it's so critical, you have red spots on your forehead, do you know that?" Wei Dong said, he became worried again, "I hope your beast is hiding on your feet, or you will be disabled at worst." , not fatal."

"..."

Luo Wei has already observed the faces of the crowd again at Qin Ci's request: "There is no change. The order of the beasts is: Qin Ci, Yu Ji, me, Zhao Yanbao, Xiao Qinxian, Zhu Haowen. ——If my traces Nothing has changed.”

"That's right, Luo Wei, you also have a story of the beast!" Wei Dong seemed to have just remembered, "What's wrong today, I don't seem to see you much all day..."

"I've been here all the time." Luo Wei put away his innocent face, stood up and took the dining comment card handed over by the waiter. This cafeteria will conduct a satisfaction survey for the guests after the meal. Last night's comment card It was Ke Xun who signed the contract, and Luo Wei took the initiative to undertake the job tonight.

Others were discussing with each other the possibility of mitigating the beast's encroachment by talking about their hearts, but no one was willing to speak out their inner monologues in public.

Luo Wei lowered his head and carefully checked the options on the comment card, and occasionally asked Mu Yiran: "The temperature here is very good, or is it better?"

Mu Yiran paused for a moment: "I think it's very good."

Ke Xun: ...

"That's good." Luo Wei checked the 'very good' option, asked one or two more questions, and then handed the opinion card and pen to Mu Yiran, "After all, you also participated in the opinion, this Next time you come to sign."

Mu Yiran frowned, took the pencil prepared by the restaurant, was a little confused for a moment, and his head still hurt after thinking about it.

Ke Xun said from the side: "Why don't I come? Anyone who signs is the same."

Mu Yiran's pen was about to be given to Ke Xun, when Luo Wei said in an unquestionable tone: "It's different, very different, he will sign it."

When Mu Yiran was at a loss, Luo Wei suddenly took out the pencil from Mu Yiran's hand again: "Let me do it, after all, most of the opinions are chosen by me, so I should do it."

Luo Weili signed his name forcefully as if through the back of the paper, and the last stroke was very long, as if it had a sense of art.

Mu Yiran looked at the signature carefully, not knowing what the last stroke was meant to emphasize, seeing that the curved stroke looked like a letter L, so he directly asked, "Is it related to the abbreviation of the letter?"

Luo Weisheng has nothing to love: "No..."

Mu Yiran was puzzled, looked at Ke Xun next to him, and heard the other party say: "I have already made an appointment with Brother Qin, and he won't come into our dormitory for a while, we will be under the big tree in front of the police station." talk."

Is this about to be discussed?Qin Ci's secret... Mu Yiran doesn't want to hear anyone's secret. It's best for everyone to communicate with the current level of understanding. If it's a secret that you don't want others to know, Mu Yiran will never ask for a word.

There was a slightly irritated sound of tapping his fingers on the table beside him, the sound came from Luo Wei, Mu Yiran looked at the other's empty glass, and filled the other's glass of lemonade casually.

After the water was filled, the hand holding the pot stopped in mid-air: "Actually, you can try to be more roundabout."

Luo Wei hugged his arm, saw Mu Yi suddenly opened his notebook, and wrote on it: 21:38, L.

Mu Yiran suddenly realized: "Did you try to write the words just now?"

Luo Wei: "I tried to write it a long time ago, but I couldn't write it, or no one would read it."

Mu Yiran: "Then...shefu? Hidden acrostic poem?"——Mu Yiran felt that he was tortured by the "unable to communicate" and he didn't look like Mu Yiran anymore.

"It seems that they are not in the same dimension." Luo Wei felt like a lonely wreck of the universe in the three-body world.

Mu Yiran put the lemonade jug at Ke Xun's place: "Don't let me touch it again."
