Paintings of Terror

At this time, it makes people feel that the NPC's words are very ruthless: "This classmate is right, for example, on the penultimate floor, the time limit for each world is 12 hours, and each world is opened at the same time. .If a group of members completes the task in this world within 6 hours and successfully finds the fragment, then they can enter another world that has been opened but no one has entered. However, the time left for the next world is only It's been six hours, not only the time, but also the consumption of physical strength and stamina... As the level of the tower increases, this consumption will become greater and greater.

"Moreover, if the world itself already has members assigned to it, then outsiders, that is, other members outside this world, will not be able to enter. All they can do is wait, waiting for the other party's success or failure."

There was no sound in the hall at the moment, and the difficulty of this painting far exceeded everyone's previous expectations.

There are definitely difficulties, but what everyone will face seems to be endless difficulties. Once there is an omission, everyone will be forced to enter the next round.In the end, if you are not forced to die, you will be exhausted to death.

"Teacher," Gu Qingqing's voice sounded, "I have another question. Is there a limit to the difficulty of each level of the world, and does it increase level by level?"

The NPC teacher replied: "That's not true. The difficulty of each world is similar. It may be easy for those who are good at it, but if you catch up with your own knowledge, I'm afraid..."

Everyone's hearts have sunk to the bottom. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. We may be able to make up for each other when we get together to break through the level, but now we have to divide everyone into groups-until now everyone seems to suddenly understand that the most terrifying thing right now Things are actually grouped.

Thinking of this, many people looked at Mu Yiran reluctantly. If there is no such person in their group... Just like in the previous paintings, if there is no such person, it will undoubtedly be a dead end.

Ke Xun also asked the question about grouping: "Teacher, there are 13 of us in total, and there are 7 worlds in the bottom layer. How can we divide the 13 of us into 7 groups? Is this group formed by ourselves or..."

"It's randomly assigned, and you can't make up your own mind. Every two people are in a group, and the one who is left alone is in a group." The NPC teacher pointed to a small disc-like device on the table, "If you are ready, Just press this disc, and it will take you into your respective worlds."

Two people form a group, and the remaining one forms a group by itself.Randomly assigned.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they must be the unlucky one who was left alone.

"Okay, this is the end of today's class, let's end get out of class." The NPC teacher didn't allow everyone to talk, so he pressed the small disc on the podium table, and then there was a piercing bell, which was very similar to the past primary and secondary schools. get out of class bell.

With the end of the bell, the NPC teacher also disappeared.

The NPC left so suddenly that it was even a bit sad.

"It seems that the only information NPC can provide is this." Shao Ling stood up, walked around the disc on the table with some fear, and walked towards the blackboard. "He has explained the rules very clearly."

"This world seems to have broken the rule of 'dead at night'," Qin Ci expressed his opinion, "For example, on the first day, once we have collected seven fragments, there will be a signature, and then we can all go out; otherwise , if we don't get all the pieces together, we will enter the next round of world screening. At the same time, if we don't get all the pieces together, it means that someone failed to come out of the world. Although the teacher didn't say it clearly, I think that if you can't find the pieces, you should It is impossible to come out of the world alive.—Since there is a possibility of death in the world, there is no difference between day and night.”

"Not necessarily," Zhu Haowen said, "Maybe there will be clear day and night in the world, maybe death will also happen at night."

World - now this word can easily remind everyone of words such as the end of the world or hell.

Li Xiaochun has always had a bewildered expression, and now he gradually figured out what was going on, and said at this moment: "That is to say, only by finding the fragments in the world can you leave the world alive, and every world must find the fragments." , you can only find the signature when you gather all the pieces, and you can leave here completely, right?"

"Yes, you are quite right." Qin Ci looked at the young man in front of him with some compassion.

Wu You also said: "We'd better work hard and find the fragments of our own world when we have the most physical and mental energy, so that we can draw all the paintings on the first day! And all thirteen of us can live!"

It sounds like this, but Yue Cen couldn't help but interrupt: "However, there is another situation, that is, everyone found the signature on the first day, but not all 13 people are alive. After all, it is a group of two people. It's quite possible that one of them... had an accident, and the other found the fragment alive and made it out of the world."

This assumption is cruel, but it is also very real.

"We can't group left and right, and we can't see the world we are about to enter. What we can do now is to understand the contents of the fragments as soon as possible," Mu Yiran said, "Although we don't know what shape or form the fragments will appear in, we need to know more Some can never go wrong."

After hearing this, everyone came to Gu Qingqing's side, because the painting that Hua Jiqiu drew just now was placed with her.

Weidong simply picked up the notebook with the drawing, and walked up to the podium: "I will draw on the blackboard according to this, and everyone will take notes while reading!"

So, everyone tensed up. Every time Weidong drew a pattern on the blackboard, everyone would follow suit. The paper and pens used were either prepared by ourselves or borrowed from Gu Qingqing. Everyone held their pens and frowned, their eyes followed the trend of the chalk on Weidong's blackboard, and their hands twisted and twisted to follow the drawing.

Until nearly [-] fragments of patterns were painted, everyone began to work hard to memorize them, almost engraving these patterns in their minds.

Mu Yiran walked gently to Hua Jiqiu, and asked in a low voice: "Director Hua, I also want to know about Si Nian and his wife."

Hua Jiqiu didn't need to memorize these patterns, because most of them were familiar to him, so he said to Mu Yiran, "Just ask, I'll tell you everything."

"Did this couple have a background in archaeology? Did they engage in other industries halfway through?" Mu Yiran asked, "According to past experience in painting, the inner world of the painter is very helpful for painting."

"Si Youjun, that is, the husband, is a major in archaeology. His wife, Qi Nian, probably isn't. She is only a monk halfway through archaeology, but I don't know exactly what she studies," Hua Jiqiu fell into deep thought, "Qi Nian Nian is very talented. It should be her idea to combine those fragments into a special New Year picture. She is very artistic. Some of her art works have also been well received by the industry, and she has also published some books on historical knowledge. "

Mu Yiran listened, feeling more and more tricky about this painting.

"About that couple, I just say whatever comes to mind. It may not be systematic enough." Hua Jiqiu raised his glasses, feeling that the bright light around him made his eyes a little uncomfortable. "I also heard some things from hearsay. It is said that the couple The way they get along is very interesting. The two of them basically don’t talk much. Occasionally a sentence or two makes outsiders feel confused, but this couple can immediately understand each other’s meaning and can quickly make a decision. response, and that response often confuses others."

Mu Yiran listened, but remained silent for a while.

Ke Xun also listened to Hua Jiqiu's words, and couldn't help asking at this time: "The Erxian Hehe you mentioned is the god who is in charge of a happy marriage, but I think the Erxian Hehe in New Year pictures is usually two immortals. He looks like a child, with a bun, holding a big lotus leaf and a lotus flower, and holding a treasure box. At first, I thought that the Hehe Erxian should be the daughter of Dong Yong and Meng Jiang."

Hua Jiqiu coughed in embarrassment: "It's Dong Yong and Seven Fairies; Fan Xiliang and Meng Jiangnu."

"Oh, oh, that's it."

But Mu Yiran looked at Ke Xun, and suddenly smiled, which was captured by Ke Xun sensitively: Could it be that...my boyfriend only discovered now that Hehe Erxian is actually two male gods...

Mu Yiran said: "Actually, the two Immortals of Hehe were originally Hanshan and Shide, the hermit monks of Guoqing Temple in Tiantai Mountain in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that these two monks have extraordinary words and often have mysterious Zen conversations, which make ordinary people confused. "

Hua Jiqiu seems to have realized something: "In this way, the daily conversation between Si Nian and his wife is quite similar to the two immortals in harmony. No wonder this painting is named 'Hehe'. The couple can do this, I am afraid it has surpassed They became ordinary couples and became rare spiritual confidants."

Indeed, between bosom friends who really understand each other, there is no need to talk by candlelight at night, as long as the other party's eyes are enough.

A harsh bell rang again suddenly, startling everyone.

Soon, the familiar voice of the NPC teacher came up from the ground again, this time as if through a loudspeaker: "Please hurry up, if you haven't pressed the disc in 3 minutes, the seven worlds will be destroyed." Start automatically."

After a moment of silence, most people lost their composure and seized the last time to look at the fragments of patterns that Weidong had drawn on the blackboard, but at this moment, nothing went into their minds, and they couldn't concentrate at all.

Mu Yiran's voice sounded: "If my estimation is correct, the world we are about to enter may require Zen-like puzzle-solving methods."

"What counts as a meditation-style puzzle-solving method?" Luo Kuo turned his eyes from the blackboard, his expression was full of tears, "So it's science or liberal arts? Does it have something to do with the value of force?"

"That's probably another category, related to Buddhism." Zhu Haowen said.

Mu Yiran wanted to explain but couldn't make it clear, how could he explain things like Zen meditation in one or two sentences.

Ke Xun was a little anxious, so he said according to his own thoughts: "Anyway, I just try to rely on the place beyond the transcendent, what is the state of selflessness..."

Before he finished speaking, the world in front of him changed.

Apparently the seven worlds were activated spontaneously. Ke Xun held Mu Yiran's hand tightly, but as the surroundings became darker and colder, he didn't know which void he went to, let alone the It's in hand.

Ke Xun tried his best to calm himself down, and tried to open his eyes to see the world in front of him clearly, but at this moment he couldn't feel anything except darkness and coolness.

Gradually, Ke Xun felt that his feet seemed to be on the ground, but the surroundings were still dark, and it seemed that there was a cool wind blowing over, making a "swirling" sound, a bit like the sound of poplar leaves in the wind , There is also a sound like a piece of paper in the wind.

When he couldn’t see anything, he would feel that these voices were particularly terrifying. Ke Xun even suspected that he was a blind person in the setting of this world. Thinking of this, he tried to maintain a calm expression and tried not to reach out to look around. I don't understand the situation at the moment, it's best not to let outsiders find out that I can't see things.

"It's early." A voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Ke Xun was startled, but his expression remained calm.

"It's early, it's early, let's stand forward." A woman's voice was mixed with some dialect.

Ke Xun didn't say a word, anyway, these two voices weren't talking to him, he just listened.

The two voices came and went and said a few more words. Ke Xun felt that the two voices were a bit strange, and he couldn't tell what was wrong. They were clearly speaking in human language, but the ending of the voice did not sound like a human voice. .
