Paintings of Terror

Use the mobile phone to explode and ignite the rhino horn.

With the experience of the painting "Humanity", the confidence of the old members has doubled.

"This is indeed a good idea," Shao Ling nodded, "but there are advantages and disadvantages."

"How do you say it?" Liu Yanlei was still active, but in the eyes of caring people, his behavior like this was completely to cover up his guilty conscience.

As for the guilt, of course it has something to do with the illusion last night and his girlfriend.

"The advantage is that if whoever ignites the rhino horn will die, this method can at least prevent us from dying." Shao Ling explained, "but the disadvantage is that if only the person who ignites the rhino horn can see ghosts, or If there are clues related to the seal, then we may not be able to see it with this method.

"So now the problem is, if you want to save your life for a while, you may not be able to get clues to leave the painting, and if you want to get clues that you don't know whether it exists, it is very likely to sacrifice your life.

"So whether to use this method or not, you all have to make a decision."

Needless to say, this is yet another dilemma.

"Anyway, I won't order rhino horns." Liu Yanlei said.

"I don't order either." Yu Long said, looking at his girlfriend Fang Fei, "The two of us are already risking our lives by going into the sea. We can't let us do all the dangerous things."

"Since that's the case, let's just ignite the rhino horns by exploding the mobile phone tonight," Shao Ling said, "at least we can get some clues about the rules of death. Then, let's discuss how to deal with the fire tonight." possible hallucinations."

Unknowingly, Shao Ling seemed to have controlled the discourse power and leading direction of the entire "team". The newcomers accepted it quite naturally, and the old members did not make much comment.

Ke Xun sat side by side with Mu Yi, holding his hand, gently pinching his slender fingers.

"Since we know that what appears at night are all hallucinations, it's fine as long as we don't believe it." Liu Yanlei said, his eyes glanced at Chen Xinai intentionally or unintentionally.

"But we also need to consider whether the illusion tonight will escalate. For example, if the illusion is mixed, how can we distinguish it?" Qin Ci said.

"Then let's agree on a code. If it's true or not, you'll know if you use the code to try it out." Luo Yan came up with an idea.

"Don't forget, the phantom can read your memory. You have agreed on a secret code now, and it will be read by the phantom at night." Liu Yanlei said.

"Then what should I do... According to this, I don't dare to believe any of you people, and I don't dare not to believe it." Luo Yu said worriedly.

"The reasons for this situation are, firstly, that we want to get out of danger by ourselves, and secondly, that we think that each other will be in danger," Shao Ling analyzed calmly, "so, if we want not to be bewitched by illusions, firstly, we must Try to ensure that you are in a safe situation, and the second is to reassure each other as much as possible, as long as we can not rely on our companions and can reassure them, we will not be easily used by phantoms."

"That makes sense." Liu Yanlei nodded again and again, "I have an idea, since falling into the sea at night will kill us, so let's find a way not to fall, or we'll die? Let's tie a rope around the waist, and then tie the other end of the rope to the side of the boat Or on the mast, the length should be shortened, no matter what the person in the illusion tells us to do, just don’t untie the rope, okay?”

"Isn't that a cocoon?" Yu Long retorted, "If you tie yourself up, if there is any danger, you won't have time to run away! What a stupid operation!"

Liu Yanlei sneered: "Please use your brain to think. If there are dangers other than falling into the sea, the phantom doesn't have to spend so much effort to confuse us. How easy is it to come up and stab us in the dark? From the beginning to the end last night, The phantom is only bewitching us with sound, without touching us, so I have reason to think that the way of killing people behind the scenes of this painting is phantom, and there is no way to touch us with real things.”

"What if the way of killing is upgraded tonight?" Yu Long scolded.

Liu Yanlei choked for a moment, but quickly found the reason: "If you upgrade as you said, even if you don't tie yourself up in the dark, you will still be killed. The probability is half and half. I would rather choose one more level Insurance!"

"Then you can do whatever you want!" Yu Long snorted coldly.

Liu Yanlei looked at Shao Ling, hoping that he could express his opinion. Shao Ling pondered for a moment, and said, "We don't need to force other people's opinions. If we think it is useful, we might as well give it a try. After all, we can't guess the rules of death tonight. Whether it is the same as last night, we can only think of some precautionary measures as much as possible.

"Tie yourself with a rope so that you don't fall into the sea, it's also a way, everyone can brainstorm.

"I also have a suggestion. Although hiding in the cabin proves to be useless, we can try to hold hands with each other. As long as we don't encounter force majeure, try not to let go. Maybe it can reduce the chance of being bewitched by illusions using each other. Everyone Any other suggestions?"

"Block your ears?" Luo Kuo said, "This way you won't be able to hear the phantom imitating the voice of an acquaintance."

Shao Ling nodded: "It's also a way, is there anything else?"

"Let's make some simple drowning prevention tools." It was Fang Fei who spoke, "Whether it's useful or not, be prepared."

"Then ask the two of you to help make it, and I will help." Shao Ling looked at her and Yu Long and said.

"I can help too." It was Xue Ge who spoke.

"So, do you have any suggestions?" Shao Ling looked at the old members.

Compared with the active speeches of the newcomers, the old members seemed a little restrained.

Very tacitly, none of the old members rushed to talk, and Mu Yiran was the first to speak at the right time: "My suggestion is, don't rely too much on tools, the important thing is to think according to circumstances." For example, "Shadow".

"Until the last second, never give up any effort." For example, "Humanology".Ke Xun added.

"Try to keep a calm and composed state of mind." For example, "Darkness".Qin Ci continued.

"Meticulous and comprehensive observation." For example, "Breaking Ground".Zhu Haowen.

"..." Wei Dong looked at everyone, then at Ke Xun, and finally concluded loudly, "Trust your companion!" For example, "Faith".

"Yes!" Luo Yan mingled among the old members.

"Don't talk too much about Xu Dakong's words, they all sound nice." Liu Yanlei snorted sarcastically.

"This is experience." Zhu Haowen replied coldly.

"The experience of beating chicken blood for others?" Liu Yanlei sneered.

"The experience of watching others die." Zhu Haowen said coldly.

Liu Yanlei was choked again, and when he wanted to argue again, he saw that the old members had already got up one after another: "The discussion is almost over, let's continue to inspect the hull." They filed out of the room.

In the afternoon, the division of labor continued. Some went into the sea, some made sea life-saving appliances, and some inspected the cabin.

Ke Xun and Mu Yiran were in charge of inspecting the bilge below the deck this time, and Luo Yu had to follow them desperately.

"Brother, brother-in-law, tell me, how about we hide in the hold at night? That way we won't be afraid of falling into the sea." Luo Kuo said.

Ke Xun thought for a while, then looked at Mu Yiran: "I think it's okay, anyway, if everyone can't escape the illusion, we will be the same everywhere. I tried it on the deck last night, and it's under the hold today. try."

Mu Yiran nodded, carefully rummaging through the contents of the box, Ke Xun stood beside him and illuminated him with his mobile phone, and stretched out his hand to rub his waist from time to time—who always bent over to rummage through things, whose fault it was after a long time? The waist will be sore and tired.

Luo Kuo looked at the side for a while, smacked his lips and sighed softly: "You two have such a good relationship. People say that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately in the face of adversity. Like the two of you, you can survive such a terrible thing. It’s so enviable.”

"There is nothing to envy," Ke Xun said expressionlessly, "Even if we are like this, there will always be times when we are not happy when we are together."

"Ah? You also have unsatisfactory times?" Luo Wei was surprised, "What's the matter?"

"There are always unconscious light bulbs on." Ke Xun looked at him indifferently.

Luo Kuo: "...Brothers and brothers-in-law, you talk to me first, out of respect." Then he ran away.

Throughout the afternoon, everyone still had nothing to gain.

After dinner, Ke Xun and Mu Yiran were in charge of setting up the mechanism to detonate the mobile phone. Ke Xun did not contribute the mobile phone he was using, but took out his own backpack that had degenerated into a burden, and took out the mobile phone from inside. A domestic brand-name mobile phone that costs a few hundred yuan.

The dozen or so cheap mobile phones purchased last time finally came into use. Ke Xun did not give up on this idea, and brought all these mobile phones to the painting this time.

Luo Kuo mentioned the proposal of hiding in the lower cabin during dinner, and it was unanimously agreed.

After the meal, everything was arranged, and the sky had already darkened. Everyone entered the cabin on the lower deck, and bolted the door leading to the stairway to the lower deck from the inside.

Cleared out a room for storing items, everyone entered, inserted the door, put on a simple life jacket made by hand, Liu Yanlei tied his waist with a rope, and tied the other end firmly to the beam on the ceiling After his persuasion, Chen Xinai also connected herself to the beam with a rope.

There was still some time before midnight, and everyone sat in a circle on the ground.

"Although it is impossible to predict whether the illusion will escalate tonight," Shao Ling said in the dark, "but please remember two points: no matter who you hear or see in the illusion, or what the other party says, don't believe it; Whatever happens that makes us unable to resist leaving the place, we must try our best to control it and not move—of course, the premise is that the danger is all imagined by the illusion, and if there is really a danger that can only be avoided by leaving the place , everyone please decide for yourself.”

Everyone responded one after another, and the dark room fell into silence for a while.

Waiting for death is not good, and waiting for death in a dark, silent room is excruciating.

Liu Yanlei was the one who was most on pins and needles. Since this morning, his mind has been in a mess. Apart from the shock of death, there was also a quarrel with his girlfriend Chen Xinai.

Of course he couldn't admit that it wasn't her who was bewitching him in the illusion last night.

Although he has no second thoughts about her, the person he loves and trusts the most is indeed not her.

Liu Yanlei has always been reluctant to admit this, but the illusion last night mercilessly made him realize his hypocrisy and self-deception.

Liu Yanlei's mood became more and more chaotic, and many fragments of his life in the past [-] years could not be restrained in his mind, during the student period, during the work period, first love, blind date, a few girlfriends, unsatisfactory life, his own All kinds of calculations, struggles, lies, and tears for survival and getting ahead.

Unknowingly, time passed quickly, and it seemed that someone said: "It's almost there, prepare carefully."
