Paintings of Terror

There was a sound of clothes rubbing against each other in the darkness, Liu Yanlei hastily plugged his homemade earplugs into his earholes, and then grabbed the hands of the people sitting on both sides of him—it was agreed that everyone should try to stay together as much as possible.

Holding Yu Long with his left hand and Chen Xinai with his right hand, he found that their hands were cold, wet and trembling slightly.

The room without light was already very dark, but suddenly a thicker darkness invaded silently and enveloped everything.

Time slipped by slowly and viscously, and the sound of the turbid sea water rushing in through the plank of the ship was unhurried.

wow -- wow --

The voice sounded distant and vast, hollow and dead.

Nothingness and darkness blur the boundaries of time, it seems that it has not been long, and it seems that a long period of time has passed.

Crunch, crunch.

In the narrow corridor outside the room, the sound of something hitting the wooden floor slowly sounded from weak to crescendo, from far to near.

Crunch, crunch, crunch.

The sound stopped outside the room door.

There was a dead silence in the darkness, as if something was standing quietly at the door, feeling the twelve fragile humans in the room.

Liu Yanlei felt something was wrong.

He obviously plugged his ears, why can he still hear the voice clearly?

— Plugging your ears won't help!

Liu Yanlei was startled, tried to calm down, and tentatively called out to his right in a very low voice: "Xinai?"

"Yan...Yanlei..." Chen Xinai's voice trembled with extreme fear, "I...I...I'm afraid...afraid..."

"Shh...it's okay...it's okay...don't move...just don't move..." Liu Yanlei comforted her, and he was also comforting himself. He firmly held Chen Xinai's cold and trembling hand, and told himself that he loved her very much. She, maybe not before, but she will definitely be his favorite person in the future, he will protect her, he will believe her, just like the hero in every heroic movie, he is willing to fight to protect her Regardless of their own lives.

Chen Xinai also held his hand tightly, but she trembled more and more, so that the words that were forced into her throat were shaken out: "No... no... there is something... no, no, no... Yan Yanlei...Yan Lei! Yan Lei! There is something! There is something! Ah—ah—”

Chen Xinai screamed, her voice seemed to be split open with flesh and blood by a sharp axe, shrill and distorted: "Help—no—ah—ah—Yan Lei—help me—ah !!!!!!”

Liu Yanlei's nerves, which were already so tense that they were about to rupture, were instantly cut to pieces by Chen Xinai's almost human-like voice. He subconsciously withdrew the hand that was holding Chen Xinai tightly like an electric shock, and when he realized it, he wanted to He held her again, only to hear Chen Xinai slapping her own body frantically in the darkness, screaming as if her throat had been torn open: "Ah-ah-no-no-help me- —leech—leech—a lot of leeches—they got into my flesh—they got into my flesh—ah—Yan Lei—help me—ahhh—”

Liu Yanlei was shocked, and subconsciously withdrew the hand that was still desperately trying to touch Chen Xinai in the dark, and his body also moved back several meters—leeches? !Where do leeches come from in the vast sea? !Is it an illusion?

Liu Yanlei was making judgments and analysis in his head in panic, when he heard the exclamation of everyone in the room, the woman's scream and the man's shout, every sound was full of panic and shriek, everyone was confused, slapping their bodies The sound of rolling on the floor, and even the sound of banging against the wall, among these chaotic sounds, there is also the sound of snakes and insects wriggling that makes people feel scalp numb.

Liu Yanlei was stunned, he couldn't tell whether what he heard in his ears was an illusion, so he had to keep moving his body back to prevent being stepped on by others.

The room is not big, he took only a few steps back, and his back touched the wall of the room, but unexpectedly, the hand used to support his body, accidentally pressed against the sticky filaments in the corner of the wall, Liu Yanlei panicked Shake your hands, but you can't shake them off at all. On the contrary, the more you shake them, the more filaments stick to your hands

--what is this? !

Liu Yanlei panicked, he used his other hand to twist the filaments, the filaments were light and sticky, and almost disappeared when he twisted them with his fingers.

——Spider, spider silk? !

——There are spider webs in the corner!

Liu Yanlei's whole body was numb, from the top of his head to the back of his feet, densely covered with goose bumps.

The most disgusting thing he is most afraid of is spiders.

This kind of fear is different from the fear of ghosts and death. It is a kind of physiological disgust and repulsion. This kind of fear has nothing to do with whether you are a man or a woman. Many people have the feeling that they can't bear it and feel numb when they see it. For example, some people are afraid of mice, some are afraid of snakes, some are afraid of insects, and some are afraid of toads.

Liu Yanlei is afraid of spiders, no matter how big or small, as long as he sees this kind of creature crawling quickly with several slender legs, he will feel as if his whole body is crawled by the long legs of this thing, and the place where he crawls will grow There are dense red pimples, with white tips coming out one by one, and the pus from the white pimples flows out, and then a bunch of small spiders crawl out of these broken pimples...

Whenever he saw a spider, he couldn't help imagining it like this, making himself sick to death.

Right now, he couldn't help imagining such a scene again, and quickly turned his body to dodge to the side, rubbing his hands on the clothes desperately, trying to wipe off the spider silk and any spiders that might be attached to it.

Suddenly a group of fluffy things landed on his forehead, Liu Yanlei stretched out his hand reflexively to touch it, but the tentacle was a spider the size of a palm, he blurted out a roar, jumped up and shook his head desperately.

For a moment, Liu Yanlei felt that he had fallen into a frenzy like everyone else, and the screams and screams around him were constantly affecting his emotions, disrupting his reason and composure, and the big spider on his head grabbed him firmly. The flesh covered most of his face, and Liu Yanlei even felt its "nose pliers" eager to try between his nose and mouth.

He remembered the human-faced spider mentioned in a book he had read, which had left a deep psychological shadow on him. If the human body is injected with poison by this kind of spider, the muscles will convulse and cannot move anymore. Then the spider It will inject a kind of digestive juice into the human body again, so that the flesh and blood in the human skin will turn into liquid. During this process, the human will always be alive and have all the senses, but he cannot move, and he can feel himself being melted and being sucked by spiders .

——Regardless of whether it is true or not, Liu Yanlei is terribly afraid of spiders, he is afraid that he will fall into such a situation, and at this moment, the spider on his face seems to be more and more forcefully encircling his face with its eight long legs, Liu Yanlei can't help it He dared to touch it with his hands, but he could only shake his head desperately, but he couldn't shake it. Liu Yanlei yelled crazily, like everyone else around, kept yelling hysterically, crazily.

He was really going crazy. At the moment when his nerves completely collapsed, he heard someone screaming, stumbled, and ran out of the room desperately, followed by the second person, and the third person. rushed towards the door.

Everyone was rushing out, Liu Yanlei was in a hurry, he was afraid of being abandoned, he was afraid that they would leave him here alone and let him die a miserable death, not to be outdone, he untied the rope tied to himself, struggled Then, viciously, he rushed forward with all his strength, pushed aside the two or three people rushing in front of him, and successfully rushed out of the door.

A strong, fishy smell of sea water rushed into the nostrils in an instant.

Liu Yanlei thought, where did the spider come from?

There are also leeches... By the way, Chen Xinai is most afraid of leeches, that kind of fat, ugly and scary insects will burrow into human flesh and suck human blood. When it burrows into the flesh, You must never pull it with your hands, trying to pull it out of the flesh. Once you pull it, its body will be broken, half of it will be pulled out by you, and the other half will continue to drill into your flesh. You can only Use the sole of your shoe to pat on the meat next to it, and pat it out bit by bit.

It is said that after the leech gets into the flesh, it will not only suck blood from the human body, but also lay eggs in the human blood, and when clusters of small leeches are born, they will continue to suck blood and lay eggs in the human body...

Liu Yanlei didn't know if these were true, he just heard Chen Xinai say this, because she was afraid of leeches, just like he was afraid of spiders, and she always exaggerated and horrified them.

But where did spiders and leeches come from?

Is it an illusion?

What did they say before the darkness came?

No matter what happens, don't leave your place.

But why are they all running out the door?

Liu Yanlei remembered the herd mentality mentioned in the work training class.

When everyone was afraid, he would be afraid too. Everyone was screaming, so he couldn't help screaming. Everyone ran out of the door, and he...he ran out without any time to think...

Liu Yanlei raised his hand in a daze, and touched his face.

The spider on it disappeared at some point, and he only touched the sea water with one hand.

……

When Ke Xun turned on the lighting function of his mobile phone to illuminate the room, everyone was in a panic and collapsed on the floor, some were sweating, some were crying, and some were peeing...

After confirming that Mu Yiran and his companions were fine, Ke Xun pulled his leg out of Luo Xun's arms: "You have a loose bladder or something, why are you peeing again?!"

"Brother, I'm scared to death..." Luo Yan limp on the ground with a pale face, "Let me slow down first..."

"Count the number of people." Mu Yiran's voice sounded calmly, and Ke Xun hurriedly took pictures of the whole room with his mobile phone.

"Six, seven, eight, nine..." Ke Xun's voice paused, "Liu Yanlei is missing."

Chen Xinai lay on the ground and wept bitterly.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Shao Ling said again: "Go to the deck first."

The sea breeze in the morning has a strong smell of salty and rancid, the sky is gloomy, the sea is dark, there are no big waves, just the same microwave for thousands of miles, the vastness extends to the end of the world, as if there is only such a beach between heaven and earth The stagnant sea, and a boat with 11 people on the sea.

Everyone looked at each other, but saw that most of them were haggard, as if they had suffered a lot of mental torture.

"Now, let's talk about our respective experiences last night." Shao Ling spread out the bamboo slips that were used to record yesterday, and picked up his pen, "Let me talk about myself first, it was still pitch black last night, and I couldn't see anything, but I can Hearing sounds, and tactile sensations. What I'm feeling is... well, I hope it doesn't make you uncomfortable to say it—what I'm feeling are cockroach eggs, probably, hundreds or even thousands, constantly coming from my It fell out of my hair and clothes, and then exploded, spraying out countless small cockroaches and falling on my body..."

"Ugh—" Wei Dong and Luo Kuo vomited together.

"So, is the illusion last night the most disgusting thing for each of us?" Zhu Haowen said coldly.

"What is Haowen's phantom?" Qin Ci asked casually.

"I touched the faces of locusts and praying mantises." Zhu Haowen remained expressionless.

Qin Ci: "..." What kind of strange evil (ě) point is this?
