Paintings of Terror

Ke Xun felt good in his heart, but deep down he was still tense. It wasn't until the old man did the same thing to 616 and then left slowly that he was relieved.

The old man didn't go downstairs, and he didn't know where he went. Perhaps as Mu Yiran said, the old man is a kind of scene.

Just when Ke Xun was about to lie down and take a nap, there was a rapid knock on the door from 410 next door. This knock on the door was very strange, almost beyond everyone's expectation.

Immediately afterwards, there was another miserable scream from the next door.

The scream was familiar and seemed to come from Salix.

The originally relaxed heart suddenly tightened again, Ke Xun came to the window lightly, but found that there was no one in front of the door of 410.

Immediately afterwards, there was another scream of panic from the next door, the voices of Sha Liu and Qiu Lu came one after another, and there were various noises in the room. It is unknown what danger the two encountered inside.

Finally, Ke Xun heard the sound of the big window next door opening, it was the big window facing the concrete wall...

At dawn, the first thing everyone did when they rushed out of the room was to hold on to the railing and look down to see if there was a corpse covered with a white cloth in the courtyard.

Ke Xunba looked at it for the first time and found that everything in the yard was as usual. He felt relieved but soon became complicated.

Mu Yiran's eyes were fixed on something hanging on the clothesline in front of the door of 410—it was a plastic red whistle tied with a dirty thin nylon rope.

Although it was daytime, the blood-red whistle was even more frightening. Sha Liu opened the door and was obviously taken aback by the whistle.

"What's going on here? It must have been left by that ghost last night!" Sha Liu looked at the whistle that was slightly swaying in the wind, and went around far away very shyly, "Why did you tie the whistle to our door?! "

Mu Yiran's voice was cold: "Because someone knocked on your door last night, probably wanting to leave the whistle to you."

Sha Liu was frightened by this statement, and heard Ke Xun ask again: "What happened to you last night? Where's Qiu Lu?"

Sha Liu was startled and shivered: "Qiu Lu? The knock on the door last night was horrible. It seemed that someone had entered our house and knocked over many things... Qiu Lu, she jumped from the window on the fourth floor... "

Ke Xun's first reaction was to rush into 410. Looking down from the open window, the black and gray concrete wall was still standing narrowly in front of him. The distance of half an arm's width was enough for one person to jump off. down there, but saw nothing.

"Did someone enter your room last night?" Mu Yiran asked in a questioning tone.

Sha Liu swallowed and nodded.

"What happened? What were you doing after Qiulu jumped off?"

"I... don't know anything," Sha Liu shook her head, and then looked at the red whistle swinging in front of the house door, "I fainted, and when I woke up, it was dawn."

Mu Yiran looked at Sha Liu with probing eyes, but said nothing.

Everyone went downstairs and gathered in the courtyard. Weidong and Zhu Haowen came down last, and Weidong was still complaining: "What kind of big body and big face are you going to mess around with? I can't stop talking to him! I said how to give the curtains to you!" We picked..."

Before Wei Dong finished speaking, several people suddenly came in carrying a corpse covered in a white cloth, and everyone's hearts sank. Qin Ci asked, "How did you carry the corpse in from outside?"

One of the people who carried the body said: "The body was found at the base of the cement wall. You can check to see if it is yours."

Everyone took a step back subconsciously, especially Sha Liu, who hid far away and dared not come over.

Finally, Qin Ci lifted the white cloth: "It's Qiu Lu."

Qiu Lu eventually died.

"Did he fall to his death?" Ke Xun asked.

Qin Ci's expression was a little puzzled, and he lifted all the white cloth for an overall inspection.

Mu Yiran also stepped forward, and Ke Xun followed. Everyone has experienced too much life and death, and now they have lost the fear and resistance they had before facing the corpse.

Qiu Lu's expression was very peaceful, if she hadn't lost her breath, she would have been in a deep sleep at this moment.

Qiu Lu's whole body was covered with dirt, as if she had been pulled out of the dirt, and her clothes and shoes were also full of dirt.

Qin Ci gently pressed Qiu Lu's chin, and found that the other's mouth was also full of dirt, and looked sideways at the ears, which were also full of dirt.

The soil is very soft, and there are plant roots mixed in it, and occasionally one or two insects will crawl out.

"No wonder we didn't hear the sound of her jumping off the building last night. It turned out that she was buried in the soil." Ke Xun looked at Sha Liu who was hiding in the distance with cold eyes.

"Okay, let's carry it out." The voice of the porter sounded.

Soon, Qiu Lu's body was carried out of the gate again.

Wei Dong looked at the people present: "Where is Xin Miao?"

It was only then that everyone discovered that Xin Miao hadn't shown up since dawn.

"Go to 402 to have a look." Mu Yiran went upstairs first, and everyone followed.

Except Zhu Haowen and Sha Liu.

Zhu Haowen raised his eyes from the phone: "Why don't you go?"

Sha Liu insisted on a strong tone: "Didn't you go too?"

Zhu Haowen looked at Sha Liu with complicated eyes, said nothing, and continued to play games with his head down.

Sha Liu turned around and went upstairs, her steps a little impatient.

The door of 402 was locked all the time, but no one answered when I called the door. Finally, several people knocked it open, but the room was empty.

"Xin Miao? Are you there?" Wei Dong called twice, but there was no response.

Room 402 was the same as before, full of traces of the fire. On a big bed, 2/3 of the boards were burnt black, and Xin Miao's single mattress was placed on the innermost wall.

I don't know how this girl spent two horrible nights alone.

The large window facing the concrete wall in the bedroom was completely open, and Mu Yi walked up to it suddenly: "Here is the person."

Xin Miao was stuck in the narrow gap between the second and third floors. Perhaps the cement wall was not built so straight, and some places were uneven. People jumped from the top and got stuck in the middle.

"He's still alive." Mu Yiran's words cheered everyone up, but Sha Liu was getting farther and farther away from everyone, and his face was getting paler and paler.

Rescuing people may be troublesome, but in the end Ke Xun volunteered and asked people to tie a rope around his waist, and then slowly climbed down. Another rope was tied around Xin Miao's waist, and only then did he rescue people bit by bit.

Xin Miao was dumbfounded, her eyes glazed over.

"This child is frightened." Old man Li Taiyong followed the others because he was worried.

If I guessed correctly, Xin Miao should have jumped out of the window last night when the old man appeared in front of the window because she was afraid. So, she was stuck in a narrow gap in the darkness for almost the whole night. Can't get up and down, cramped and suffocating, extremely terrifying.

No matter what everyone said, Xin Miao always looked dumbfounded.

Weidong was suddenly a little angry: "Why did she jump out of the window?"

What answered him was everyone's silence and Xin Miao's sluggishness.

"Ya Fen also knocked on the door of 402 the night before, and the sense of horror is no less than last night. Xin Miao didn't even think about jumping out of the window at that time, why didn't she think about jumping out of the window last night?!" Wei Dong always felt that something was wrong. Strange.

Ke Xun looked at Sha Liu standing at the door: "Coincidentally, Qiu Lu also jumped out of the window last night. ——Sometimes it is like this. When there is no way out, people may be able to grit their teeth and hold on. Back road, then most people will choose to retreat to the end of the back road.”

Sha Liu was suddenly angry and glared at Ke Xun: "What do you think I am doing? I didn't let them jump out of the window! We just talked about jumping out of the window out of fear."

Wei Dong walked directly in front of Sha Liu: "Then why don't you dance?!"

Sha Liu was forced to take two steps back by Weidong, and suddenly cried out with tears in her eyes: "I'm scared too! I don't dare to jump! What are you doing? Are you trying to force me to jump too?!"

There was a sudden giggle in the room, it was Xin Miao.

Xin Miao stood up with a smile, as if she couldn't see everyone, hummed a song and walked out the door. She even made a few very professional ballet poses in the corridor, and then ran and danced all the way downstairs.

Xin Miao is crazy.

Everyone also went downstairs one after another.

The concierge waited for everyone with a big key tray: "The lock of 402 has been repaired, and the key is taken away."

"Why do you take the keys? There are still people living in 402!" Wei Dong said.

"nobody."

"But..." Wei Dong looked at Xin Miao who was dancing on the second floor, "We haven't checked out yet!"

The porter looked like he hadn't heard, and stretched out his finger to count the number of people: "There are seven people in total, all of them are here, let's go eat quickly."

Ke Xun looked at the people around him. There were indeed seven people, but if Xin Miao was included, there should be eight people.

Everyone seemed to think of something, but no one said anything.

Wei Dong's eye circles were a little red, Ke Xun stepped forward and hugged Wei Dong's shoulder: "Xin Miao's journey in the painting is over."

Wei Dong looked at Xin Miao on the second floor: "But he is still there, panting and dancing!"

"But in the real world, Xin Miao is dead." Qin Ci's tone was also very heavy.

"Perhaps this is also a kind of relief." Ke Xun dragged Weidong into the restaurant.

In the end, everyone had to accept this fact, and went into the restaurant to eat in silence.

Sha Liu seemed to adjust her mood quickly, and cleared her throat at the dining table: "Don't you think it's strange? The concierge didn't tell us about 307 today."

Everyone also found it strange. According to the usual practice, after the accident last night, the concierge would call everyone to talk about what happened in the room before the accident, or it could be said that it was the source of the death last night.

And this kind of speech is often carried out before breakfast, but today is an exception.

"This can only explain one thing," Zhu Haowen chewed the steamed bun expressionlessly, "The death incident last night has nothing to do with 307."

Everyone was obviously surprised by this inference, but after much deliberation, this seems to be the only reasonable explanation.

"Then how did the two of them die?" Wei Dong asked directly.

"If you scare yourself, you scare yourself to death." Zhu Haowen remained expressionless.

Sha Liu didn't want to linger on this issue, and directly analyzed: "If the matter of 307 is not resolved, will it be repeated tonight?"

Everyone thought of the giant face outside the window last night, a little scared and a little impatient.

Sha Liu continued: "There was no death call incident last night. Is it possible that if no door is knocked, then the horror incident last night will continue in an infinite loop?"

Ke Xun sneered, knocked the egg in his hand, and said nothing. ——Sha Liu is trying her best to confirm to everyone that the reason why the NPC did not explain the death incident is because no member knocked on the door to summon last night, not because of other things...

"This statement seems to be in line with the rules." Zhu Haowen glanced at Sha Liu, "It's just that the old man last night did no real harm to people, unless there is an enhanced version tonight, otherwise he will really enter an infinite loop of dead ends. "

"The horror room is secondary, the important thing is breaking the ground," Mu Yiran's voice sounded, "We have been here for four days, if I guess correctly, the ground breaking should be completed on the seventh day."

Yes, breaking ground is the biggest event in the whole painting.

Zhu Haowen said: "The deformation of 616 has become more serious. The room is no longer a cube, and the entire patio mouth has obviously gathered together visible to the naked eye."

"However, we have searched everywhere we should look," Qin Ci said.

"Don't be too impatient about this matter," the old man Li Taiyong also said, "Didn't Xiao Keer discover some bamboo shoot paintings yesterday, there must be corners that have not been found."
