Paintings of Terror

The word "random" is particularly disgusting here.Because there are no routines and rules to talk about, and there is no way to deal with and avoid it, it all depends on luck.

Ke Xun glanced at Mu Yiran beside him, and saw that he was motionless, like a white stone statue, he could barely hear his breathing.

Ke Xun withdrew his gaze, listened to the thick, long and slow panting of the giant shadow, and subconsciously adjusted his breathing to match it, but Ke Xun could hardly hear his own breathing under the cover of the panting sound of the giant shadow .

The giant shadow finally came to the tent of the two of them. Ke Xun saw its eight thick arms, which seemed to be uncontrolled by it, dancing in the air. Between these arms, a large black round thing appeared. Covered by the tent, Ke Xun guessed that it was the head of the giant shadow, and it seemed to be squatting down, putting its head close to the tent.

Panting suddenly sounded above the head, through the thin tent skin, Ke Xun vaguely saw the two eyes on this huge head blinking slowly.

It is looking in the ledger.

Ke Xun subconsciously closed his eyes.

The feeling of being stared at by something indescribable is simply indescribable, because it is impossible to predict whether the thing will stretch out its huge palm in the next second and pinch the two of them out of the tent. Get out, and throw it into its bloody maw.

Ke Xun looked forward to it leaving quickly, but there was a sound of panting above his head, and he stayed in the same place unhurriedly, and never gave up on Ke Xun and Mu Yiran in the tent.

The longer the time, the more tense the nerves and the more emotional breakdown, like the tip of a knife hanging above the head, I don't know when it will fall, but it is more reassuring to fall down early.

Ke Xun's cold sweat broke out involuntarily, and his heart was beating so fast in his chest that it was about to burst. If it wasn't for the heavy and heavy panting of the giant shadow, he felt that it might be able to hear his heartbeat.

I don't know how long it took to be placed under the blade, the panting sound was finally far away from the ears, the giant shadow moved its legs, and slowly walked towards another tent.

Ke Xun relaxed the muscles all over his body that had been tensed for too long, opened his eyes and turned his face to look at Mu Yiran.

Mu Yiran was lying on his side, only half of his curved jaw and one eye were exposed in the light and shadow.

Neither of them moved any more, they quietly listened to the movement outside the tent.

It didn't take too long, and a miserable scream exploded among the tents.

Because the voice was too shrill and changed his tone, Ke Xun couldn't tell who made it for a moment. He turned his face and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that the giant shadow was pulling a person out of the tent with one hand. , the man frantically struggled and twisted, but he couldn't break free from the giant shadow's grasp.

The giant shadow was carrying him like a young mouse. It straightened up and stood majestically. The man was lifted into the air by it. The other arms of the giant shadow, which were still twisted and dancing, suddenly stretched forward in unison, thick and strong. His fingers held the man's head, limbs and torso respectively.

Then, give it a light tug.

Ke Xun closed his eyes.

But still, the image of thick blood and viscera splashed in the sky remained on the retina.

The scream still lingered in his ears, and Ke Xun finally heard that the voice belonged to that young man, Tan Zheng.

The middle-aged man said that two people must share the account.So the one who died tonight was Tan Zheng who was drawn into his account.

At dawn, all the frozen shadows trembled again with the wind. It was cold inside the tent, and the wind leaked from all directions. Ke Xun moved his already numb body, sat up, and saw that Mu Yiran had opened the tent. The curtain went out.

Ke Xun then followed and glanced in the direction where Tan Zheng was captured last night. He saw bright red blood spots sprayed everywhere on the gray-flowered rocky ground, and Tan Zheng's broken body and limbs were thrown everywhere.

Several newcomers were terrified. The beautiful woman named Li Ziling fainted from fright at that time, and she still hasn't woken up. Zhou Bin's girlfriend Zhao Dan vomited in the tent in fright. Looking around for something to scrape clothes with a face.

Ma Zhenhua was so scared that he squatted outside the tent with a gray face, and from time to time he dared to look in the direction of Tan Zheng's death.Qin Ci and Mu Yiran were restraining the severed limbs, and then covered them with a ragged blanket.

Qin Ci looked at Mu Yiran: "The head is missing."

"Yeah." Mu Yiran looked at the sky above, "That thing was taken away."

Qin Ci said: "It seems that the rules this time are actually very simple. Only those who live in a tent alone will die."

"So now we have twelve people left, no one will be alone tonight, does it mean that there will be no more deaths?" Ke Xun walked over and said.

Qin Ci lowered his eyes: "Obviously, this is not good news. If you don't die, just vote."

There is always someone who is going to die.

Compared with those who have been painting before, the acceptance and adaptability of the newcomers are much worse, until they gather in the largest tent that the middle-aged man said, the faces of several people are still very ugly, and the road is almost scared. Can't move.

The middle-aged man was already waiting in the tent, looking at everyone with miserable green eyes: "The sacrifice will be held on the seventh day, and you must prepare the sacrifice items, namely: Wuhui dew, Wugong meat, Duomu, libation, Offering bowls, lamps, Gala, Dangka..."

Following the series of strange nouns that the man spit out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but Mu Yiran's face gradually darkened.

"Let's gather here after dark, let's have breakfast first." The middle-aged man finished speaking and left the tent. Food was already set on the ground table behind him.

The breakfast consisted of scattered pasta made from whole grains, milk tea separated from water and milk, and several pieces of sour yellow cheese.

"Eat as much as you want, otherwise you won't have the energy to keep going." Wei Dong sat next to Li Ziling to comfort him.

"Will it be poisonous here?" Li Ziling cried with red eyes and swollen eyes. She might not be able to cry at this moment, so she asked Wei Dong in a hoarse voice.

"No, feel free to eat, it just tastes a little disgusting, but it's better than nothing." Wei Dong said.

Ke Xun and Mu Yiran, who was sitting next to him, talked in a low voice: "That person just said a lot of things, are they all related to Sataism?"

Mu Yiran put down the teacup in his hand, and said in a slightly cold voice, "That depends on which branch of the Satuo Sect it is related to."

Barely filling his stomach, Zhou Bin among the newcomers was the first to calm down and looked at Mu Yiran and Qin Ci: "Where does the seal of the painter you are talking about usually appear? Or , what form will it appear in?"

Qin Ci answered him: "Every painting is different, so I can't say for sure, but according to the few paintings we have entered before, there are usually two ways to find the seal. One is to decipher the author's painting. The purpose of the painting, or the secret hidden in it, is what we call "breaking the game", one is to complete the tasks set by the world in the painting, the place where the seal is, and the clues provided in the painting, and ourselves The painting meaning of Shentou has a very close relationship."

"But how to break this game? I have no idea at all!" Zhou Bin was anxious.

Qin Ci said: "Actually, we haven't found the way. Clues can't be found just by waiting. We can look around more during the daytime."

"How can I find someone who has no brains?" Zhou Bin asked.

Glasses girl Sha Liu suddenly interjected: "I think the clue may be related to the sacrificial items that the person just mentioned."

Qin Ci nodded slightly: "This is probably equivalent to the task set for us, so find a way to complete it, maybe there will be gains."

Zhou Bin hurriedly said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's leave quickly!"

His girlfriend Zhao Dan held his arm: "But what are those things? I can't understand them at all. Meat, wine and lamps are okay, but the rest sound like foreign languages?"

Sha Liu adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose: "I feel that this place is a bit like the Ganxiong Plateau, where the Satuo religion prevails. Have you seen the colorful flags standing in the distance? This is an obvious sign." , then the string of nouns mentioned by the man just now, I think, are the utensils referred to in the local language."

Zhou Bin said: "Then we just need to find these things, right? Hurry up and get out of this damn place as soon as possible!"

Qin Ci glanced at everyone, and said: "Of course we need to find things, but we can't search for them in a hurry. I suggest that the twelve of us should be divided into four groups, and go in four directions respectively. We will return at noon." Come here and communicate about the progress and gains."

No one objected, so Zhou Bin asked, "How to group?"

Ma Zhenhua staggered and threw himself in front of Mu Yiran: "Can I go with you? Please, please!"

Seeing this, Li Ziling got up and ran over, hugged Mu Yiran's arm, and looked at him pitifully: "Little brother, I also want to be with you, please, I'm afraid..."

Ke Xun: "..."

Wei Dong: "..."

Sha Liu looked at Ke Xun: "Can I play with you?"

Ke Xun: "..."

Wei Dong: "..."

Qin Ci looked at Mu Yiran and Ke Xun: "Is that the decision?"

Ke Xun: "I don't agree."

Wei Dong: "+1."

Qin Ci: "So, draw lots?"

Zhou Bin frowned: "Why do you have to draw lots to decide everything, time is running out, what are you still delaying!"

"He's right," Ke Xun said, "It's not good to separate him from his girlfriend. It's daytime, not night, and it's completely possible to accompany someone you know well to do the mission. According to me, Zhou Bin and his girlfriend must be in the same group. Brother Geng’s family of three cannot be separated. The two girls are classmates and both are girls. It’s inconvenient to separate because they don’t have companions, so they can’t be separated. Are you right? ?”

Zhou Bin and his family of three nodded.

Mu Yiran glanced at Ke Xun expressionlessly, thinking that this guy was going to be a demon.

Hearing this guy continue to say: "In this way, it will be very easy to divide, twelve people are divided into four groups, each group has three people, those with companions cannot be separated, and those who are alone need to be included in the group with companions.

"Divided into four groups based on those with companions, Zhou Bin's young couple, Brother Geng's family of three, two sisters, me and Wei Dong, Brother Geng's family of three formed their own group, and the remaining three people were grouped into the other three. Group.

"The two girls are both girls, and they are the most vulnerable group. They need a mature, reliable man with emergency skills to guard him. This man must be Doctor Qin. In case the two girls have a headache, brain fever, sprained feet or something, Doctor Qin can provide timely treatment.

"Ma Zhenhua will go to the group of Zhou Bin's young couple, there is an age difference, it's much more convenient than my peers like Wei Dong and Brother Xiao Mu, mixing with your young couple.

"So the groups are divided like this. Do you have any opinions?"

Mu Yiran: "..." I knew it was like this.
