Paintings of Terror

Regarding Lu Heng's death, everyone did not rush to report to the authorities, but first checked Lu Heng's package.

Back then, Xi Shengnan's package contained flawed jade jewelry, so it was hard to say what Lu Heng would find in his package.

Most of the packages contained daily necessities, only a strange palm-sized ebony box caught everyone's attention.

Qin Ci used a cloth towel as a cushion, and opened this strange ebony box. There were some small pill-like things inside. Qin Ci sniffed it lightly: "It should be something like throat lozenges."

"That is to say, there is no secret in Lu Heng's package?" Cao Youning's eyes flickered with panic. This is the second death he has experienced in this world, and the two deaths were very close to him. friend.

"The appearance of this box looks like a medicine box, and there are two similar boxes in the medicine box I wrapped," Qin Ci said, shaking the ebony box by his ear, "It doesn't sound strange, but I always Think my pillboxes are bigger, even though they look about the same size."

Mu Yiran brought the ebony box over, carefully observed the side and bottom of the box, and soon found a hidden small drawer, opened the mechanism spring inside, and the small drawer could be pulled out.

"It's too mysterious. I suspect that Lu Heng can't even open this little drawer..." Before Cao Youning finished speaking, he watched Mu Yiran take out a stacked piece of paper from the drawer in a daze.

"Is that the prescription?" Mu Yiran showed Qin Ci the piece of paper.

Qin Ci wanted to nod his head to confirm, but he still took the medical book to be on the safe side, and put this piece of paper on the torn page, and the traces of the torn paper overlapped perfectly.

Everyone was stunned. They never expected that the formula of "Poison Fragrance" would be torn up and hidden by Lu Heng secretly.

Qin Ci smelled the smell in the small drawer of the medicine box again, his expression darkened, and he looked at Du Lingyu: "Xiao Du, do you smell this smell..."

Du Lingyu nodded with difficulty: "That's the smell. Sister Xi had that smell on her body when she died, and now Lu Heng's body... also has this smell. The smell in this drawer is even stronger, but because it was placed in an ebony box Therefore, the taste is ingeniously blocked by the aroma of ebony, and it is difficult to be smelled.——It’s like the poison was put in the hot sauce, and the taste was also blocked by the strong taste of the hot sauce.”

"I don't believe it, I don't believe that Lu Heng will hide these poisons, I don't believe that Lu Heng will commit suicide by eating these poisons, and I don't believe that Lu Heng will poison Sister Xi! Sister Xi can be said to be the most important person to Lu Heng." Mai Peng intermittently Saying these words.

"Mai Peng, you look very ugly." Du Lingyu was a little worried.

"I just have a terrible headache, and it's been like this since I woke up," Mai Peng scratched his messy hair, "I still don't believe that Lu Heng will hide drugs from us! Maybe all of this was done by someone we can't see. In the end we will all be poisoned to death by this man."

"No, there are probably so many poisons in total," Qin Ci replied to Mai Peng, and at this time, he was slowly shifting his gaze from the formula to Mai Peng's face, "I already counted all of ours yesterday. Spice goods, the total amount of these goods and our goods is a part less than the delivery list, and the few spices that are missing are precisely the ingredients for this poisonous fragrance."

"what do you mean……"

"There is no need to have too many poison formulas. If the ingredients we lack are put together, they will at most fill the small drawer of the medicine box." Qin Ci looked at the crowd, "In other words, the drawer contains all the poisons. , put a small portion in Xi Shengnan’s hot sauce, and Lu Heng ate the rest last night.”

Luo Kuo was obviously also confused by this sudden series of situations: "Did another person mix these poisons, and then this person killed Lu Heng and Xi Shengnan with these poisons."

"If that's the case, why not kill these two people at once, but divide it into two?" It was Wei Dong who spoke, "If two people are poisoned at once, the success rate will be higher."

Zhu Haowen: "And there is another premise. This hypothetical murderer needs to know the habits of all of us, at least understand the tastes of each of us, so that he can accurately poison Xi Shengnan to death by eating hot sauce, and this person has the ability to make Lu Heng sat alone at the table in the middle of the night and drank the poison peacefully."

Hearing the word "drink", Du Lingyu discovered that there was a water cup next to the wooden table where Lu Heng's body was lying.

The door was gently pushed open, a burst of bright warm light entered the room, and the lamplighter poked his head in: "Guests, do you need any help?"

Mu Yiran looked at the lamplighter: "We have dead people who need to be buried here."

"Okay, I'll ask for help." The lamplighter politely left after saying this.

Now is the time to light the lights, which is the zero point that Mu Yiran assumed at the beginning. At this time, everywhere is filled with bright and warm light, as if a chicken soup cooker whispers to you: Today is another brand new day.

Du Lingyu frowned and sniffed his sleeves, then his wrists, looking at the bright corridor outside the door, feeling an urge to escape.

She subconsciously searched for Ke Xun's shadow in the crowd. For some reason, this person gave her the greatest sense of security.

Ke Xun seemed to be talking to Mai Peng about something like "supporting the coffin".

"Ke Xun." Du Lingyu called Ke Xun in the crowd.

Ke Xun raised his eyes, in Du Lingyu's eyes, there seemed to be light on his face.

Du Lingyu said: "I have some ideas, but I don't know if they will work."

Ke Xun walked out from the crowd tall and tall: "Xiao Du, what did you think of?"

Du Lingyu walked out of the door, and took a few steps to look at the corridor on the left and the stairs at the end of the corridor: "I had hallucinations again just now. Lu Heng died, and he died lying on the table like this. The room at that time There were only me and Sister Xi in the room, and I was very scared at the time, so I ran out of the room and ran down the stairs along the corridor on the left... I seem to be going to verify something with someone."

Ke Xun didn't know what to say for a while, but felt that Du Lingyu's hallucinations were particularly strange: "You seem to have memories of things in another timeline, but these memories appear and disappear."

"You mean, the hallucination I just had came from another timeline?" Du Lingyu raised his head to look at the stairs below from the railing of the corridor, "It seemed that what I was going to see was a woman, but the memory behind it was completely blurred …Sorry, I can only think of so much, and I don’t know if it’s useful.”

"If I remember correctly, every time you have hallucinations, it is just after you turn on the lamp." Ke Xun looked at the vertical lines on the wall of the corridor. The 7 lines have not changed, and they are still profound and decisive. "Or maybe, It's the death that triggers certain points in the back of your memory, and when you think about it, every death is discovered after everyone wakes up - it's weird why the rest of us don't hallucinate like you do? In the real world, do you have some psychic physique?"

"Shao Ling also asked me this question." Du Lingyu seemed to have not yet fully recovered from her nervousness. It is very common, and it can be said that it is completely insulated from those strange things."

"The hallucination you mentioned just now has the scene of Lu Heng's death, and there is Xi Shengnan next to it, which reminds me of the photo last night." Ke Xun carefully recalled Mu Yiran's explanation of those photos last night, "it is That photo was taken 16 hours later, and it is speculated to be around 18:30, when a man was sitting alone on the bed, and Xi Shengnan was lying not far away."

"You mean, is that man Lu Heng?" Du Lingyu carefully recalled the content of the photo, "At that time, Sister Xi's position was already at the bottom of the photo. If I was also on the photo, then the photo The angle can't capture me."

Du Lingyu calmly said this bold conjecture, which made Ke Xun feel admiration for this seemingly weak girl.

"If this is the case, I don't understand why there are only the three of us left in the room. It was night, and the others had no reason to be outside..." Du Lingyu seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't say it anyway. His eyes suddenly fixed on Ke Xun: "I don't know why, Ke Xun, among all the members, I trust you the most, even surpassing my old partners in the photography circle for many years."

Ke Xun saw full sincerity in Du Lingyu's eyes, as well as a trace...something like remorse.

"Especially when I saw these 7 dashed lines, that feeling was very strong," Du Lingyu continued, "For some reason, I feel that your decision is correct, and you are moving forward in a destructive manner. There was no compromise or hesitation."

Du Lingyu wiped her eyes: "I don't know why I have these strange feelings, and I also said these feelings to you, as if I wanted to say these words to you a long time ago. But it’s like I’ll never get a chance to say it.”

Ke Xun heard some clues from Du Lingyu's words, but her inexplicable and emotional words later made him confused again. Ke Xun slowly approached Du Lingyu and patted the other side's shoulder: "I'll go to Lu Heng's funeral in a while, do you still have the courage to go to that window?"

Du Lingyu nodded without hesitation: "I will definitely go. Although I am a little scared when I think about it, I want to find out what is going on. Even if I saw something more terrifying there, I think that It should be closer to the truth."

"Okay," Ke Xun didn't know what to say to the brave Du Lingyu, "We will always be with you."

"That's it!" Du Lingyu suddenly called out in a daze, "I remember you said the same thing: We will always be with you! All of us are united to take this step. Although this step may be a step backward, but This step backwards is to move forward even further! Although this step backwards may lead to an abyss, what we get in return is eternal light!"

Du Lingyu said these words word by word, tears seemed to glisten in his eyes.

Ke Xun was dumbfounded for a long time: "I can tell you responsibly, I wouldn't be able to say these words even if I was killed..." Ke Xun scratched his head and asked again: "Are you sure it wasn't Shao Ling who said that... "

"That's what you said! I was crying, and many people were crying." Du Lingyu couldn't help crying again, "I can't remember what happened next, but I always feel like a deserter..."

Perhaps Du Lingyu's voice was a little loud just now, some companions came to the door one after another, even Mu Yiran came out, holding a piece of paper in his hand, on which were drawn large and small circles, each circle Divided by dividing lines at various angles.

Mu Yiran looked at Ke Xun: "There may always be only one timeline, but it has been misplaced and used segmentally. Perhaps there is no distinction between retrograde and forward travel, just like when we drive on a highway and face another lane. When driving a vehicle, because of the different directions, it will always think that the other party is going in the wrong direction."

Ke Xun: "Can you say something today that I can understand..."

Mai Peng: "I also want to make the same request..."

Mu Yiran said to Mai Peng: "According to the degree of your cold now, I think your cold will be completely cured soon, as if it never happened. ——If this thing really comes true, then It’s a disguised form to prove my idea.”
