Paintings of Terror

That night, no one slept well.

Ke Xun even heard the piercing ringing of the phone several times.

The four stayed together until dawn.

Weidong opened the curtains and saw the sunlight outside, so he dared to ask Luo Wei: "Did you have a phone call last night?"

No one asked him at night, for fear that the mysterious phone call would not come through because of his own question.

Luo Wei said with certainty: "There is no call."

As soon as the words were finished, the harsh phone rang like revenge. The four people looked at each other for a second, and finally Luo Wei stepped forward to answer the phone: "...Okay, got it, we'll go there now."

It was Qin Ci who called to bring the news that Xiao Qinxian had an accident in the hospital last night...

Perhaps everyone was already mentally prepared, so they weren't too surprised—the kind of beasts that appeared suddenly were often more dangerous.

Just like Lion that night, and Xiao Qinxian last night.

The 4 members rushed to the hospital, and everyone still couldn't figure out why they didn't receive a call last night. According to the usual practice, there should be a mysterious call to tell the exact location of the beast.

Wei Dong began to speculate horribly: "Could it be Xiao Qinxian who answered the phone? I mean Xiao Qinxian's sister, she also belongs to people outside the city."

In other words, Xiao Qinxian's sister received a call and was told that a beast would appear on a certain part of her body.

Don't think about it, it's extremely scary.

"No, this is not very logical." It was Mu Yiran who spoke, "First of all, we are not sure whether the soul disappeared after the sister's beast was stripped out last night; secondly, there was a 'missing' before A few phone calls, for example about Chi Lei and about Yu Ji, so the phone call about Xiao Qinxian last night may also belong to this situation."

Weidong: What should I do... my brain is overdrawn.

Everyone rushed to the hospital and saw Zhao Yanbao and Zhu Haowen who had rushed over at the same time. They nodded at each other. They didn't have much time to rejoice that they were "alive", so they hurried to the animal laboratory.

Qin Ci and Su Benxin are waiting here.

"In order to deal with the unexpected situation last night, there were special medical staff who accompanied Xiao Qinxian all night, but the beast still came out from her left rib..." Qin Ci's expression was still heavy, "Everyone follow me in to see That beast."

When everyone walked into the research room and saw the beast, everyone couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Xiao Qinxian's beasts are very similar to her sister's, and they are also placed in the glass water tank, neatly arranged like bricks. There are 4 pieces in total, two long ones and two shorter ones.

Two shorter ones are placed side by side on top, and two long ones are arranged on the bottom in turn, forming three rows.Different from her sister's beast, Xiao Qinxian's beast is suspended under the water tank.

"What the hell are these things? The more I look at them, the more frightened I get..." Wei Dong really didn't understand what these crimson bricks represented.

"Is this... a block in their hearts?" Zhao Yanbao used his imagination to the fullest.

"My sister has 5 yuan, my younger sister has 4 yuan, and my sister has one more than my younger sister?" Su Benxin didn't dare to look too closely, "But the arrangement is too neat, it's really weird."

Mu Yiran remained silent, observing the two glass water tanks from various angles, and suddenly said after about ten minutes: "Can you put the beasts of the two sisters in the same glass water tank?"

Qin Ci nodded and ordered the researchers in the laboratory.

Researcher: "Think about it, two people's beasts are very likely to have a rejection reaction when they are put together."

Mu Yiran: "Please do it."

When the beasts of the two sisters are placed in the same glass tank, the 5 pieces of the elder sister are still suspended above, while those of the younger sister are suspended below, forming a neat row of 6.

Mu Yiran found an angle, stood there and observed carefully for a long time: "Look, what does this look like?"

Everyone went to Mu Yiran's point of view to look at it, and then felt that the brain was no longer their own. Although these long and short bars looked familiar, they couldn't tell what they looked like.

Zhao Yanbao guessed: "These things remind me of Liu Yao."

Mu Yiran nodded: "That's right, this is a hexagram."

Everyone: ()/

"Guimei hexagram is the name of the hexagram Zhen Shang Du Xia hexagram." Mu Yiran said.

Everyone was once again shocked by Mr. Mu's profound knowledge.

"What does this hexagram of Guimei mean?" Su Benxin asked from the side.

"It means that a woman is getting married." Mu Yiran pondered for a moment, "The hexagram says, Guimei: there is no profit in the battle."

It turned out that this was an ominous hexagram, the hexagram image drilled from the depths of the ribs of the two sisters, how could it be auspicious.

Xiao Qinxian's elder sister's beast was stripped from the right rib, and it happened to form a left-right symmetry with her younger sister's beast.

Su Benxin couldn't help but said again: "Why do women say they are sisters when they get married? They are obviously 'going out', why do they say 'returning'?"

Zhao Yanbao explained from the side: "In ancient times, a woman's marriage is the real return. Even in modern times, a daughter's marriage is often said to have found a home."

The topic accidentally brought up the status of women, and I couldn't avoid it even if I wanted to.

But Ke Xun had a flash of inspiration: "I think this is very similar to our current situation. Obviously we have entered the painting and left the original real world, but many people have a sense of returning."

When everyone thought about it, they also felt that it made some sense.

Mu Yiran further explained the hexagram: "The older sister's floating above is the guest hexagram, and the younger sister's sinking below is the main hexagram. The older sister is staying with the younger sister's body, and she is also a guest."

Zhu Haowen stood the farthest away, and only glanced at the hexagram: "This is just the inner world of sister Xiao Qinxian. I think the most important thing for us now is to find an autograph."

Mu Yi nodded, but still said: "Xiao Qinxian's situation is different from ours. She is a combination of two people, and it can even be said that she is a combination of insiders and outsiders. Her death may give us some enlightenment. "

Zhu Haowen remained silent, as if it was a kind of recognition.

Zhao Yanbao explained from the side: "Since Ke Xun said what the driver said yesterday, we both felt it was very important. On the way back last night, we also found some passers-by who asked about Yu Beiguo. These people thought the name was very familiar, but they wanted to I'm sorry I've heard of it somewhere.——This matter is really confusing."

"This is indeed very important," Su Benxin walked to Luo Wei, "I still want to go to the train station with Luo Wei today, and I have already chatted with several staff members at the station. You can find out more about Yu Beiguo from there.”

Luo Wei nodded: "Although they don't have the Internet, there is a list of all the people who have entered and left the city on the computer. Let's think of a way to see if we can find Yu Beiguo."

Everyone felt that this action was crucial, and Qin Ci said: "There is no need to delay, we should act immediately."

"The person in charge at the station yesterday has been wanting to buy a special asthma medicine made by our hospital. I want to bring him a few from the pharmacy, which can be regarded as a friendship." Su Benxin said.

"Okay, I'll call the pharmacy." Qin Ci nodded.

Su Benxin said to the researcher again: "Please refrigerate our beast in time, and keep it at room temperature for a while..."

The researcher nodded: "I'll put them in the freezer right now."

Several people followed Qin Ci back to the office. Qin Ci called the pharmacy first, and the answer he got was: this asthma medicine has been sold out, and the earliest batch will be delivered at 3:00 this afternoon.

It seems that Luo Wei and Su Benxin's going to the train station can only be postponed until the afternoon.

"Okay, let's start assigning today's tasks." Qin Ci looked at the people in front of him, "The most important thing now is to find the name Yu Beiguo. After everyone's inquiries to the people around, the name Yu Beiguo should be someone from this city. It’s relatively familiar, but everyone can’t remember it, it should be a shield from the painting.”

At this time, a nurse happened to come in to report the situation of some patients in the ward.

Qin Ci nodded to show that he understood, and then asked the nurse, "Xiao Li, are you familiar with Yu Beiguo?"

"What Yu Beiguo?" The nurse was puzzled for a moment, "I don't remember knowing anyone with the surname Yu."

Qin Ci wrote these three characters on a piece of paper: "That's the three characters."

The nurse suddenly realized: "Oh~ so it's these three characters! Why, are these three characters a personal name?"

"Otherwise? What do you think it should be?" Qin Ci asked back.

"I don't know what it is. I probably thought it was a country at first, or some country name and year name. I don't know much about history." The nurse smiled apologetically.

Zhu Haowen couldn't help but ask, "Where have you seen these three characters?"

The nurse thought about it carefully: "I really can't remember, but these three words are very impressive. I must have seen them somewhere, but I just forgot. I'm so sorry."

Zhu Haowen really wanted to ask if there were any medicines that could help people recover certain memories. It was really maddening that people in the know were hesitant to talk.

If it weren't for the fact that this is a smoke-free office, Zhu Haowen really wanted to light a cigarette and take a few puffs. In desperation, he took two steps closer to the nurse: "What do you see these three characters look like? What font are they in? ?what colour?"

These few words are very critical, and everyone's attention is on the nurse's face.

The nurse thought about it carefully for a long time: "I can't remember the color. The font is very artistic. If it is a personal name according to what you said, it feels like the signature of a very individual artist."

"..." Everyone present seemed to have heard their heart beating, and couldn't help asking: "Where did you see it? Think about where?!"
