Paintings of Terror

Tian Yang pulled the corners of his mouth with a wry smile and crying, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket: "You don't need to comfort me...I know, I can't get out..."

Ke Xun didn't answer his words, just said: "You record it, Qin Ci and the others are back, I'll go get food." Then he walked away.

Qin gave Weidong and Luo Yu back with water, but there were still a few rabbits, Weidong said: "There are two big guys in the trap who don't know if they are deer or deer. I'm afraid you don't have enough time to deal with those two things, so I just brought them." rabbit."

"Okay, you two come over to help." Ke Xun called Wei Dong and Luo Wei, and Fang Fei saw it and came over to help.

Qin Ci walked up to He Tang who was still asleep, knelt down and reached out to touch her forehead, his brows furrowed.

Zhu Haowen followed and asked him in a low voice: "How is it, is it the same as Xiao Kai's situation?"

Qin Ci nodded slightly, with a trace of puzzlement on his face: "I can't figure out the reason for this, He Tang didn't have that black blood on her body, how did she get 'chosen'..."

"How do you think Xiao Kai was selected?" Zhu Haowen asked.

Qin Ci said: "I have been thinking about Xiao Kai's problem all day. At first, I thought he was suffering from malaria. The virus is transmitted through the blood due to mosquito bites. The onset of this condition is very fast, and the body temperature will rise sharply in a short period of time.

"But it turns out that it wasn't malaria, and maybe it wasn't even a disease, but the way of death set in this painting. If this is the case, it's hard to say why Xiao Kai was chosen. Similarly, Tian Yang and He Tang were chosen The reason for this may not have anything to do with those black blood.

"But I don't understand. To put it bluntly... let's just die. Why do you have to let them have a fever before they die? Isn't it superfluous?"

"Could it be because the three of them have relatively weak physiques, and this time the death selection is based on the strength of the physique from low to high?" Zhu Haowen offered an idea.

"But I think Xiao Kai's physique is pretty good," Qin Ci said, "When I wiped his body with alcohol, I found that he should be a person who exercises regularly, quite like Xiao Ke."

Zhu Haowen was silent for a while, and said: "If the selection criteria for death are not based on physical fitness, then it may have something to do with the infrasound waves that Yi Ran mentioned."

"Perhaps so." Qin Ci was not sure either.

Zhu Haowen turned around and looked at Tian Yang, saw that he was talking to the phone in a low voice, so he didn't go to disturb him, took advantage of the sky before it was completely dark, and seized the time to look through those pictures with Mu Yiran and Shao Ling together. Books found in the house.

Qin Ci called Wu You and Gu Qingqing over, and said, "I want to find out the cause of He Tang's illness. I need to check her body. I may need the help of the two of you. The key point is to see if there are any wounds or wounds on her body. It's an unusual place."

Wu You and Gu Qingqing nodded quickly.

Qin Ci greeted everyone, carried He Tang on his back, and led them to the house that had been prepared.

When Ke Xun took Wei Dong and Luo Kuo to roast the rabbit meat, it was already dark, and everyone was going to move to the house, but Tian Yang woke up from time to time, too weak to stand up.

Ke Xun made a stretcher out of sheets and branches, and carried Tian Yang together with Wei Dong, carefully wrapping his hands in cloth to avoid touching him as much as possible.

Those books that have not had time to check were also moved into the room by everyone.

After entering the house and locked the door, Ke Xun sealed the door gap with a raincoat, and then lit the simple oil lamps on the wall made of cooking oil and flammable materials that everyone found. depending on things.

With the help of Wu You and Gu Qingqing, Qin Ci has already done a full-body examination for He Tang, and said to everyone with a solemn face: "He Tang also has a mosquito bite on her body, I think this is the main cause of her illness. The reason is the same as that of Xiao Kai. The mosquitoes should carry a virus that is used as a screening condition for death—everyone must pay attention!”

"Damn it... Mosquitoes are hard to guard against!" Luo Kuo hurriedly hugged himself, looking around.

"It really doesn't work. Let's put on raincoats now. Although it's hotter, it can prevent mosquitoes from biting us." Shao Ling said.

Everyone put on raincoats after hearing the news. In such a hot weather, they were stuck in a nearly airtight room, and they had to put on airtight raincoats. Within 2 minutes, they all looked like they had just been fished out of the water.

Tian Yang woke up suddenly at this moment, looked weakly at the people in the room, and said to Ke Xun: "Ke Er...give me one too..."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Tian Yang smiled forcefully: "Or... you put me... outside the door... that's fine... or... just give me a raincoat... lest... lest I die Time... to splash blood on you..."

Everyone's mood was as heavy as their faces, but Ke Xun still handed Tian Yang a raincoat: "Do you want to help?"

Tian Yang shook his head vigorously, struggled to half sit up, put on a raincoat on his body, panted heavily after putting it on, leaned against the wall beside him, raised his eyes to see the dim light above his head, and moved his trembling hands towards the stack of raincoats beside Ke Xun. The book pointed: "Bring a few...give it to me, I can...can help read...read..."

"You rest and eat something." Ke Xun handed him the rabbit meat, but Tian Yang still insisted on reading it, so Ke Xun handed him a copy.

He Tang was still in a coma, and woke up two or three times during the period, either crying out for pain, crying out of fright, or falling into a coma again.

Fang Fei, Wu You and Gu Qingqing also helped her put on the raincoat... although it seemed ruthless to do so.

While forcing themselves to eat meat to replenish their strength under such circumstances, everyone continued to seize the time to search for clues, desperately flipping through the books around them in the dim light.

Until Tian Yang began to vomit and convulse.

The scenes before Xiao Kai's death yesterday flashed in everyone's minds. Those black and sticky asphalt blood that he vomited up were like lumps of nightmares with substance.

Wu You's tears welled up all at once, and he didn't know whether it was because of fear, pity for Tian Yang, or despair of hurting others.

She bit her lip desperately to keep herself from crying, and hid behind Fang Fei, not wanting her emotions to affect everyone and Tian Yang.

Gu Qingqing covered the upper half of her face with the hood of the raincoat, and covered the lower half of her face with the front of the raincoat, her whole body shivered in the raincoat.

Luo Yu wiped away his tears silently, just as he wanted to hide his emotions and hide behind Ke Xun like Wu You, when he heard Tian Yang, who finally stopped vomiting for a while, call weakly to this side: "Ke Er... "

Ke Xun stepped forward, stopped not far from him, knelt down and looked at him: "Speak, I'll listen."

Tian Yang struggled to sit against the wall, took the thick A4 book that Ke Xun had just brought to him with trembling hands, said it was a book, but in fact he neatly stacked a stack of papers, and then used Several large clips clip from the side for easy flipping like a book.

The cover of the book was manually added by the owner himself, on kraft paper, with a string of foreign words written on it, and there is a bracket below, and the brackets are (XXXX——).

XXXX is four numbers that have been blurred, and there is a space after the dash, all in handwriting.

"This is a bound book of papers..." Tian Yang breathed hard, gasped, retched from time to time, still struggling to speak, "It should be the owner of this book...print it out by yourself It was clipped together at the end, vomit-cough... Although all the places related to the date are blurred... But there are a few articles that I have a deep impression on...

"I studied... Hebrew in a small language in college, and all the papers in this book - oops - are in Hebrew. As a reading aid for learning, I was trying to... ...translated several of them...

"Ugh—I just... read it, and the content is exactly the same as the one I read. These papers... were borrowed from our foreign teacher back then, and the foreign teacher returned to China after a vacation...and published it in a journal The latest thesis, in the years of university, every year when he returned from abroad—vomit—vomit—cough cough—back, back, he would bring some of the latest thesis readings published in that year...come back for us to read .

"In this bound volume... the several papers I have seen before are included in the order, as if... they are arranged according to the time the papers were published, from the front to the back, and... they are sandwiched The last few pages of the thesis were also translated by me...

"What I mean by this is, ahem—vomit—if...if the owner of this bound book...has been chronologically, constantly...continuously adding new content to the back, then... As of the time of the last paper, is it... the year when these people had accidents?

"You...you see, in the parentheses on the cover, it is clearly marked—vomit—is...the start time to the end time of this paper, so...the time of the last paper should be the year of the accident. The time, the dash... is left blank to indicate that... the process of adding new-uh-new-uh-new papers to the bound volume was... cut off in the course of an ongoing process ...

"If that's the case, then I...then I might...maybe be able to determine the exact year of their accident. I don't know...cough cough cough...I don't know if I can...help me find the signature..."

"Of course." Ke Xun's tone was a little heavy, but he said to him with great certainty, "tell me the age."

However, Tian Yang suddenly convulsed violently, opened his mouth and spat out, Ke Xun was squatting in front of him, at this moment, Ke Xun heard Mu Yi who was not far behind him yelled sharply: "Flash!"

Ke Xun's reaction was never slow. The moment Tian Yang twitched, he had already made the movement of rolling over to the side to avoid it, which was almost in sync with Mu Yiran's voice, and finally avoided Tian Yang's spray in time. vomit out.

Tian Yang vomited so darkly that he didn't even have time to breathe, let alone continue talking.What I spit out is the rabbit meat I just ate and the plant juice I drank. Among the undigested meat, the green juice of the plant is mixed with more and more black and red blood.

"Tian Yang! Hold on!" Wei Dong couldn't help shouting in a hoarse voice, "We will find the signature soon! As long as you leave the painting, all the damage you have suffered in the painting will disappear-you must hold on! Sign We'll find it soon!"

Tian Yang shook his uncontrollable body due to vomit, struggled, and tried to raise his head slightly, two lines of dirty blood slipped from his eye sockets, like tears that pierced his heart and lungs because of nostalgia, and the blood in his nostrils Flowing into the mouth with blood bubbles, what was vomited out of the mouth was already dirty black blood clots as thick as asphalt: "...cough...cuck..."

His face is like Xiao Kai from last night, hanging loosely on his skull, he lost all the human expressions he once had, and at the last second of his remaining human existence in this world, he The only thing he could do was to use his two blood-soaked eyeballs, which seemed to be protruding, to stare firmly at the person in front of him, the person he was most familiar with.

He had abandoned this man like a coward, and escaped alone.

But now, when he finally wanted to say goodbye to this person with a brave smile at the end of his life, he found that he had lost his expression.

The author has something to say:

Tian Yang: ...can you let me finish the main point before I die...

Ke Xun: ——Can you let him finish talking before he dies!

Everyone: ——Can you let him finish talking before he dies!

Reader: ——Can you let him finish the main point before he dies!

Author (Yazi who is not very smart): put it...don't worry...the key point will not be lost...it will come later...
