Paintings of Terror

"Sister Cen..." Luo Wei and Wu You cried and threw themselves on Yue Cen's body, but Gu Qingqing wiped away her tears and stood up, looking at the crowd: "Sister Cen said, 'Bugs, long bugs, our faces '."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, and in the last posthumous note, Wan Yu also saw the long worm with the faces of herself and her companions in the dying state, unexpectedly, Yue Cen saw the same worm.

But what is hard to explain is, if what Wanyu and Yue Cen saw were ghosts, why would ghosts have their faces?

And if these were just hallucinations of Wan Yu and Yue Cen because their lives were dying, then how could it be explained that both of them saw bugs instead of something else by such a coincidence?

"Could bugs be the key?" Shao Ling's sweaty hair fell back on his forehead, which made him look anxious and embarrassed.

He looked at Mu Yiran, and saw that he was still frowning deeply in desperate thinking, his tall figure was still straight and firm, and Ke Xun standing beside him was calmer than ever Shen Yi, he collected his tears, sealed up the deep friendship he had for his companions, and regained his incomparably strong strength and faith. Now he is steadily accompanying Mu Mu in a state of reason to the point of being cold. Be by his side and be his most powerful spiritual pillar.

"Bugs must exist in a dimension that we can't see," Ke Xun heard his question, and answered him calmly like a machine, "Wu You, don't cry anymore, wipe away your tears, and check again, can you see?" Something out of the ordinary."

Wu You wiped his face with his sleeve, nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I will always look at the bones..."

Watching every dead companion.

"There is nothing unusual for the time being." She carefully looked at Yue Cen, Wei Dong and Fang Fei who had already died, and finally looked at the infinitely terrifying tornado that she was terrified of.

On the altar, the blood of Wei Dong and Fang Fei was still flowing, as if they were going to drain all the blood from their bodies, and the ghostly symbols formed by the blood were spreading to all directions of the altar as the blood flowed. The blood of the three people is also slowly joining together.

"We have received too little information..." Shao Ling scratched his hair, "Why is it 'bug'? Bug...bug...do you have something to say? Worm...bug?! Could it be--does it refer to Dayu?!"

"Why Dayu?" Ke Xun asked.

"The word 'Yu' is explained in "Shuowen", which says: 'Insects, Congxi, pictographs'. A well-known scholar who doubts ancient times believes that Dayu is probably an animal cast on the Jiuding.

"The wonders of the world are engraved on the Jiuding, and Yu is the most powerful of all the animals on the tripod, or his image on the Jiuding happens to be applying soil to control the water, so there is a legend about Yu's control of the water, plus the following With word of mouth and continuous beautification, "it" was gradually passed on to "he", and an animal image on Jiuding became the master of a generation.

"Combined with the explanation in "Shuowen", this scholar believes that Yu is a kind of insect." Shao Ling forced himself to calm down like Ke Xun, and tried his best to check the relevant information stored in his brain. "However, this statement is very controversial. More scholars believe that Dayu is indeed a real person—could it be that what Wanyu and Yue Cen saw was... Yu?"

"Then why does 'Yu' have our face?" Ke Xun asked calmly.

Shao Ling shook his head: "I can't explain..."

"And why is Yu in a dimension that only consciousness can reach?" Ke Xun's eyes fell on Yue Cen's pale face, "I think the key words are two: bugs, and high dimensions."

"—Bugs, high dimensions—" Zhu Haowen suddenly turned his face to look at him, "You know, if you look at a creature in a three-dimensional space in a four-dimensional space or a higher-dimensional space, you will see a line A long bug - because four-dimensional creatures are not limited by time, they can see everything that happened on the entire timeline at once.

"For example, when we humans look at things, we can only see what is happening in front of us, and cannot see what has happened in the past and what will happen in the future, but four-dimensional or high-dimensional creatures are different. They can see the past, present, and future at the same time. In the future, they can see what happens at any point in time.

"So if they can see creatures in three-dimensional space, then the form displayed by three-dimensional creatures at each point in time will be presented to their eyes at the same time.

"To use another analogy, if I walk from here to Shao Ling's side, it will take three seconds in total. In the first second, I take my left leg and I am at one step away. In the second second, I take my right leg and am at two steps away. In the distance, the left leg is stepped in the third second, and it is located beside Shao Ling, so in the eyes of high-dimensional creatures, the current me, the first second, the second second and the third second me all appear at the same time, imagine—— What does it look like when all these images appear in front of your eyes?

"It's like a special effect of motion trajectory. I am connected at all time points. My figure trajectory forms a long line—like a worm. That's why Wanyu said that the worm is full of people. Face, that's because this worm is connected by countless images of our bodies!

"So—so after the consciousness of Wanyu and Yue Cen left their bodies, they came to a higher dimension. Looking at the three-dimensional space where our bodies are located in the higher-dimensional space, what we see is the behavior of 'full time period' track!

"—This shows that when we die, our consciousness really goes to a high-dimensional space, and it can really exist without the body!"

"That is to say, maybe we can really try to fight against the power of ghosts in the form of consciousness after the death of the physical body?" Shao Ling clenched his fists.

"...Not sure. If our conscious body still has memories and beliefs after our physical body is completely dead, why can't we notice the slightest change in the situation?" Zhu Haowen pointed to the top of his head that protruded from the air membrane again That dark and terrifying monster, "at least with Fang Fei's personality, if she still has memories and beliefs, she will always do something to stop this ghost thing, or, even if she still has memories and beliefs, there may be nothing Capable of doing anything but... watching."

It was too late for everyone to pay attention to this disappointing and hopeless statement again. The terrifying monster was struggling to get out of the wind body again, and wanted to pounce on the people below with a fierce and violent attitude!

"Need...need to connect—" someone shouted in a hoarse voice.

Someone needs to die next, right now, right now, right now.

"Brother Qin," Li Xiaochun suddenly held the meat-cutting knife he brought in his hand, "Get ready for the first-aid injections, if one injection doesn't last long enough, then two injections, if two injections fail, then three injections, you Find a way to let me go back to the light a few more times, and I will try my best to talk about what I see.”

"Xiaochun—" everyone called him sadly.

But what can I do, knowing that I can't stop it, I can only watch like this.

"Brothers and sisters," Li Xiaochun clenched the knife with trembling hands, "Although I don't want to die, I'm not afraid of death. You don't have to feel sorry for me. I have offended you a lot before, so don't take it to heart. I'm leaving. goodbye!"

At the moment when the blood splattered, everyone shut their heads and closed their eyes forcefully.

"Wu You!" Ke Xun remained calm and shouted loudly. Wu You had already turned his head away, but immediately reacted when he heard the sound, and hurriedly turned back, enduring great sadness and pain, looking at Li Xiaochun who was in the process of falling .

Qin Ci was beside Li Xiaochun, supported his body, and carefully laid it down on the altar, then took the pulse, read the heart rate, took out the needle, injected, and pulled out the needle.

Another companion, pulled back abruptly from the brink of death, drowned in the excruciating pain of extinction.

"Bug...Zhu...that's right..." Li Xiaochun uttered words with difficulty, the pain made him moan and twitch uncontrollably, he kicked his legs in pain in the pool of blood, helplessly scratching the ground, his The blood continued to rush out without stopping, making him feel the process of blood draining from his body with extreme cruelty in the last few seconds of his life.

"...Cen...they..." Li Xiaochun tried his best to move his eyes, and finally stopped to look in the direction of Mu Yiran.

"What did he want to say in the end?" Shao Ling walked over a few steps and rushed to Qin Ci's side, "What did he say in the end?"

Qin Ci shook his head slightly: "Just mention 'they' and there will be no more."

"It's too short...too short..." Shao Ling's nerves finally collapsed. He shook his head and closed his eyes in pain. In three or five words, slowly piece together the truth?"

"Did you see Li Xiaochun's hand?" Ke Xun's voice suddenly appeared beside him, and he saw him squatting down, looking at Li Xiaochun's hand tightly grasping the ground.

This hand had been soaked blood-red by his own blood, and his five fingers were stretched out, digging hard on the ground.

"What does this represent?" Gu Qingqing asked tremblingly.

"He wanted to show us," Ke Xun said, "He wanted to show us with his fingers what he couldn't say."

"Ground? Altar?" Shao Ling looked at Li Xiaochun's blood-red and distorted fingers, and his eyes felt hot.

"There are three possibilities," Ke Xun was terribly calm at this time, "One possibility refers to the altar, combined with his last words, he said Sister Cen and Dongzi Fangfei, I think he meant them The place where the consciousness of the three is at this time. If it refers to the altar, then maybe the consciousness of the three of them is attached to the altar;

"The second possibility is that inside the altar, that is, under the surface of the altar, his fingers are on the ground. If it refers to the ground of the altar, I think the shape of the hand should be flatter. Like patting the ground with the palm, this gesture is more like referring to the ground, but his fingers are digging, I feel like he wants to push the ground away, so it may also refer to the altar internal;

"The third possibility is blood. His body is full of blood, his fingers are bent, and his palms look like empty bags. Apart from scratching, they also seem to be grasping or retracting. There is no such thing on this flat altar. The only thing that can be gathered is blood, and what he wants to gather may be blood.

"Wu You, did you see anything just now? At Xiaochun... the moment Xiaochun left."

Wu You nodded desperately, tears were thrown down, and he said with a choked voice: "I saw a very faint light, which was pulled away from Xiaochun's body, but it was only for a moment, and it disappeared immediately. "

"What kind of disappearing method?" Ke Xun asked, "Is it drifting away, or is there a direction to disappear?"

Wu You pointed to the ground of the altar: "Downwards disappeared."

"Down?!" Shao Ling repeated in surprise. He thought he would float in mid-air or fly directly to the sky like the soul out of the body as people imagined. "Could this faint light be Xiaochun's consciousness?"

"I think so." Zhu Haowen said.

"Why is it going down?" Shao Ling stared at the ground of the altar, "The last posthumous note said that Wanyu's consciousness floated into the air, why did Xiaochun go down?"

"Maybe it's because when Wanyu's consciousness left her body, she herself was under the altar, but Xiaochun was on top of the altar at this moment," Ke Xun said, "and Wanyu probably hadn't come to the world at that time. Otherwise, why could her consciousness 'float' in the air, but Xiaochun's disappeared in a flash?

"I think the problem lies in this altar that is about to open the gate of the ghost world.

"Wu You, take a closer look at the altar and look down. When you observed the altar before, you didn't see the inside of the altar through blood, did you? Now you look through the blood, through the ghosts made of blood. read the text."

Hearing this, Wu You gritted his teeth and stepped into the pool of blood of his companions, trembling and sobbing, and tried to suppress his grief and stared at the bloody ghost writing altar under his feet.

"——It seems that there is something——" Wu You exclaimed, and his tone was distorted because of his eagerness, "There is something under the altar!"
