Paintings of Terror

"Time is running out, we said while preparing," Mu Yiran took the backpack in Ke Xun's hand, and distributed the mobile phones inside, "Now let's capture the space-time tunnel inside the altar.

"It will follow the bag of mobile phones that Ke Xun is carrying. I think it is because the mobile phone emits electromagnetic waves. Although there is no signal in this place, the mobile device itself will automatically search and send signals to the base station. Every search And send signal, will produce electromagnetic wave.

"Although the electromagnetic waves sent by mobile phones are very weak, due to the super strong underground magnetic field and the tornado column, these mobile phones have been affected accordingly.

"As we said before, ghost texts, tornadoes, and underground magnetic fields interact with each other, and the material fields produced can cause space-time confusion and bending, that is, space-time tunnels or space-time cracks, and mobile phones can produce "magnetism and electromagnetic waves." The interactive devices become the anchor points to guide the time-space tunnel, and we can use them to lead the time-space tunnel out from inside the altar."

While speaking, he instructed everyone to stand in a good position. They formed a circle and placed all the mobile phones on the ground of the altar. The heads of the mobile phones all rushed to the center of the circle. According to Mu Yiran's instructions, they moved one by one and quickly Dial 112 on every mobile phone.

This number is the only number that can be dialed without a SIM card installed. Of course, at this moment, the number may not be dialed out, but it does not prevent it from sending out a signal, and the strength of the electromagnetic wave emitted by the mobile phone when making a call 3 times that of the standby state.

"I apologize to you," Zhu Haowen said to Ke Xun who was next to him while quickly pressing the keys on each mobile phone in turn, "I shouldn't think that you used the generator in the car to charge these mobile phones every day. useless behavior."

At that time, Ke Xun answered him that he had obsessive-compulsive disorder in terms of mobile phone power, and he would feel very disturbed when the mobile phone power dropped to 60%.

Even some mobile phones that may only be used once, or even never used, are used as explosives.

"Now, why don't you quickly explain how you want us to travel back to the past?" Shao Ling asked Mu Yiran, "Just like what we said before—how can you be sure that we travel back to the past, not the future? We What effect can these few people have on the overall situation when they travel back?"

"No, it's not you who need to travel back, but me," Mu Yiran looked at everyone, "and Ke Xun."

"You mean—traveling back to the night when you two first boarded the altar?" Shao Ling turned to Dawu.

The two of them traveled through time and space that night. Although they only traveled through time for one night, maybe the time and space tunnel of that night just connected to the entrance of the current time and space tunnel.

But Mu Yiran shook his head slightly: "No, it's useless to travel back to that night. Ke Xun and I need to travel back to the front."

Shao Ling and Zhu Haowen looked at him questioningly.

"Remember the painting "Hehe"?" Mu Yiran suddenly seemed to be talking about another topic, "You once asked me about my experience in that painting, but in fact, in the world I entered, there were not many It is worth mentioning, but then a weird thing happened in the outer hall, which I finally figured out until just now-I was in that hall, part of my blood was taken away, and someone took away my blood. The people whose blood... is Ke Xun, and myself."

Everyone was so shocked by the last sentence that they even forgot their anxiety, despair and grief for a moment. The sudden revelation of the truth caught people off guard and stayed on the spot.

"I was the first to leave my own world," Mu Yiran said quickly, "but because I was bitten by the poisonous teeth of the Nian beast in the world, my whole body continued to bleed, and I fell into a coma for a while.

"But when I woke up from the coma, I saw the backs of myself and Ke Xun, and they ran wildly and disappeared out of my sight.

"At first I thought it was a hallucination caused by excessive blood loss, but when I wanted to talk about it to Ke Xun, I found that I couldn't open my mouth, and I couldn't use any medium to convey what I wanted to say. This Only then did I realize that the "illusion" I saw was not just an illusion, it was shielded by the behind-the-scenes force of the painting.

"I began to think about why this happened, unfortunately, at the time I would never have thought of traveling through time and space, let alone in a painting.

"There were two reasons I speculated at the time. One was that the two forces behind the painting had a very rare BUG due to the fierce game, and due to the error correction mechanism, the BUG was forcibly modified, or blocked, which caused my Can't tell what 'wrong code' I'm seeing;

"The second reason is that one of the two forces had the upper hand for a moment at that moment, so it took the opportunity to make some kind of hint to me, but because it was countered by another force afterwards, I couldn't respond to it. Companions say what hints I get.

"So I can only ponder this 'hint' by myself. Unfortunately, I didn't get any useful inspiration, until when Lao Qin opened his medicine box just now, I saw the infusion bottle in his medicine box— ——I and Ke Xun, who ran away at that time, held several infusion bottles like this in their hands, and the bottles were filled with my blood.

"If the infusion bottle may be just a coincidence, then after experiencing a night time travel now, after knowing the existence of the space-time tunnel on the altar, and knowing the truth about the 'blood sacrifice', I finally figured out this weird thing Why and how things happened."

"You mean—you and Ke Xun now traveled back to the painting "Hehe"?!" Zhu Haowen asked in disbelief.

"Obviously." Mu Yiran asked for Qin Ci's medicine box, took a few things from it - including infusion bottles, and put them into his backpack one by one.

"But—why?!" Shao Ling asked incredulously, "Why did he travel to that painting? How did he do it? Even if there is a space-time tunnel, he can't manipulate himself to go back to that time, right? What's more Or go to the painting? And, even if there is a way to manipulate the time and place of travel back, why not go to other paintings? Or go to other time points? Why "Hehe"? Why do you and Ke Xun want to Go back and get your own blood? You almost died, didn't you?"

Before Mu Yiran could answer, Wu You suddenly pointed to the sky above his head and shouted in panic: "—that thing in the wind came out again!"

The gust of wind roared, and the ghosts screamed, creating blood-colored giant waves of airflow in the dome above the head, and the sticky, dirty, thick black substance slid down from the wind body in another indescribable form. It is necessary to break through the vault and stick to the heads of the painters.

"Hurry up—" Shao Ling roared, and flew over to pick up the pistol that Fang Fei used to kill herself, but was suddenly stopped by Luo Kuo, who hugged her waist, and the two of them together fell to the ground of the altar.

"I... I'll come..." Luo Yu said with a hoarse young voice, tears had already dried up in his red and swollen eyes, and his facial features were swollen and even deformed due to prolonged crying. He looked at him with distressed eyes. His family members said, "Let me come... I can't take it anymore... Maybe death will be a relief...Anyway...Anyway, sooner or later I will die...Brother, I am timid, I dare not use a gun or a knife Kill yourself, it hurts too much...Can you...can you cut me unconscious first, then...then you can use whatever method you want, as long as you don't wake me up, kill me with any method..."

"Luoba..." Ke Xun came over and hugged him tightly, "Luoba, don't be afraid, brother and your brother-in-law are going to finish the important thing first, and then go to accompany you, don't be afraid, it won't be long , you wait for us first, brother will definitely go to accompany you."

"I'm sorry...brother, I'm timid. I can't help you to see bugs with your conscious body. I, I'll just die, okay?" Luo Yu squeezed Ke Xun's hand hard, and his whole body twitched with fear and despair stand up.

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, radish, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all, it's like falling asleep," Ke Xun raised his hand behind his neck, tears slid down and fell on his neck, "Maybe you can still dream... the scenery in the dream must be more beautiful than this world, because... because at that time, you... you are a high-dimensional creature...much more advanced than humans... Carrot ..."

Luo Kuo lay limp in his arms, as if falling asleep.

"Brother Qin," Ke Xun said with a choked voice, and turned to look at Qin Ci, "I remember you were carrying an injection similar to euthanasia."

Qin Ci nodded silently, walked over, took the needle, and slowly pushed it into Luo Kuo's body.

Mu Yiran looked at this side without saying a word, until blood gushed out of Luo Xun's five sense organs and seven orifices unreasonably, as if he had got some answer, he closed his eyes and looked away.

The monster in the wind body was forcibly pushed back again, but everyone was a little distraught because of Luo Yao's death.

Until Mu Yiran's calm voice sounded: "Wu You, carefully look at the center of the mobile phone circle, and tell me the current scene."

Wu You withdrew his mind, tried to wipe away the tears that blocked his sight, and stared at the inside of the altar in the center of the mobile phone circle.

"The space-time tunnels are concentrated below—" she opened her eyes suddenly, "but—strange—strange—why—why there is one below—there are two—”

"Are the two tunnels overlapping?" Mu Yiran asked suddenly.

"No... the first one is not very stable, it keeps moving, but the one found later is relatively stable, and has been staying here!" Wu You was surprised and forgot to continue to grieve, and couldn't help but look up at Mu Yiran.

"Don't look at me, look down." Mu Yiran said in a deep voice, "Stay still and stare. Once the two tunnels overlap, tell me immediately."

"Okay." Wu You quickly stared at the bottom of the circle.

"Now listen to me," Mu Yiran said to the others who were still in shock, "Ke Xun come over, stand next to me, and be ready at all times. The rest of you, when Ke Xun and I leave, you... Try to wait until the last moment every time...buy a little more time for me and Ke Xun. The two of us will definitely come back and settle the whole thing."

"Now, can you tell us what's going on?" Shao Ling asked him palely.

"Let me answer your questions first," Mu Yiran answered him as fast as possible, "We already know that all the places in the painting are linked together to form the word 'light', which is the curse technique used by ghosts to curse idols." The spell that wants to break through the two realms.

"So on the track of the word 'light', the barrier between the two worlds, or the barrier, became weak. Qin Shi's master alchemist discovered this, and confessed to his disciples that in this 'light' A seal is set on the character track to suppress the power of the word 'light' to break through to the human world.

"That's why we are forcibly attracted into the painting. Every time we come out alive, we will break a seal. And the illusions in these paintings neither completely belong to the human world nor completely belong to the ghost world. It is where the forces of the two sides compete. It was forcibly torn out by the power of ghost writing and the power of the game between the two parties, and it is located in the third space between the two worlds.

"Obviously, if it belongs entirely to the human world, no supernatural phenomena will happen. If it belongs entirely to the ghost world, the ghosts will not want to kill us. Moreover, every time we come out of the painting, there is no time for the outside world to changes, which shows that it is a relatively peculiar third space.

"Have you ever wondered why those seniors whose entire army was annihilated in the painting did not come to Kunlun Shu, but they can also achieve the effect of sealing demons and ghosts for a hundred years?

"Although they didn't make it to the end and didn't know the ins and outs of the whole incident, they died halfway in a daze, which didn't prevent the seal from working. Connected, one point is sealed, and all points can no longer be broken through.

"To make an analogy, imagine that the word 'light' is composed of a pipe, and each sealing point is equipped with a valve. Only when all the valves are opened can the water flow unimpeded. As long as one valve is closed, the water flow will It will never flow out of the outlet.

"This pipeline has only one exit, and this exit is here. If it can go out, it can also go in, and if it goes in here, it can connect to other valve ports.

"But this is the third space. Without the 'help' of those two forces, we cannot enter it on our own, but there is a substance, or phenomenon, which is not limited by this. It can cross dimensions, time and space, and Becoming the carrier medium of any substance, it is the space-time tunnel.

"When the time-space tunnel coincides with this pipeline, we can enter the pipeline through the mouth of the time-space tunnel, and then go to every illusion in the painting through the pipeline. The time-space tunnel can change the time, and the pipeline can point to the place. We can use this to go to our place. where you need to go.”

"But, how can you be sure that you can return to that day's "Hehe"?" Zhu Haowen asked.

"Remember?" Mu Yiran actually smiled, pointing to a certain place in nothingness, "Our brave companions can see the past and the future in a higher dimension.

"They know what will happen in the future, so they also know what I will do. Although they can't communicate with us as conscious bodies, as higher substances with the same ability to cross dimensions and pass through everything as the time-space tunnel, I think they are enough to survive in another world. A dimension helps me to let the space-time tunnel lead to exactly that place on that day.

"This is also the reason why Wu You sank into the altar quickly after seeing their conscious bodies leave their bodies.

"They are going to help us capture the entrance of the space-time tunnel, and they are ready to take us back to that moment."

"Then, why does it have to be in the painting "Hehe"?" Gu Qingqing asked anxiously.

"Because they know that I happened to cause a lot of bleeding in the world of Nian Beast in that painting," Mu Yiran looked at the altar under his feet that was stained red with the blood of his companions, "and what Ke Xun and I want to go back there to get is My blood at that time."
