Paintings of Terror

The paper boy boy in brightly colored clothes slowly rolled into the room while holding onto the window sill, making a rattling sound of paper rubbing.

Ke Xun didn't dare to move, his eyes fell on the darkness not far in front of him.

In my ears, I heard the sound of paper rubbing approaching little by little, sandwiched by a gust of chilly wind blowing from the window.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and the chill that pierced the bones became more and more serious, and a strong smell of soot was suddenly smelled in the nose and mouth.

Not cigarette ashes, nor candle ashes, it smells like tar, it smells rancid, it smells like... the stink of bones turning into ashes.

Ke Xun's trachea shrank, he almost coughed out, he bit the tip of his tongue hard and held back, his body trembled slightly, and in the next moment, a pair of colorful paper pants appeared as far as he could see.

Ke Xun heard the sound of the paper above his head, and it was getting closer and louder. The cold air and the smell of soot were squeezed down like a substance, making his chest feel tight, and it seemed that something was stuck under his skin. Filled, the whole body feels swollen and uncomfortable.

The room was terribly quiet, only the noise made by the paper figure seemed very strange.

Ke Xun felt that Mu Yiran beside him was motionless like a rock, and suddenly felt that he and himself were abandoned by the whole world. At this moment, no one could save him and him, no one could help them , They are so lonely and helpless, helplessly, desperately, waiting for the horrible death to come.

The sound of the paper figurine has approached above Ke Xun's head. Ke Xun doesn't know what this thing wants to do, but he knows that he has absolutely no resistance against it.

In the corner of the line of sight, slowly appeared the red mouth of the paper figurine, followed by the nose outlined with ink lines. Seeing that those two almond-like eyes were about to meet Ke Xun's line of sight, Ke Xun suddenly thought of Mu Yi But what he said just now, he quickly held his breath.

The whole face of the paper figurine appeared in the field of vision, the red face was painted with bright pink, and there was a blood-red red dot between the thin and curved eyebrows, and the eyes drawn with two ink pens were on Ke Xun's face. In front of his eyes, the dark pupils are no different from the random scribbles with black pens, but at this moment, being looked at by such a pair of paper-painted eyes, Ke Xun only feels that the bones of his whole body are frozen to the point of cracking flesh .

The paper figurine and Ke Xun just looked at each other almost face to face, and the room fell into a dead silence again, as if there were no living people in this dark silence, only three motionless paper figurines remained.

--paper man?

That's it!

Ke Xun suddenly understood what Mu Yiran meant.

If you don't move, don't breathe, isn't it no different from a paper doll?So the paper figurine in front of him couldn't tell whether the two of them were alive or of the same kind, and it was precisely because of this that he didn't do anything unimaginable to them for a long time.

However, the breath that Ke Xun held his breath just now is about to be exhausted. Even if his lung capacity is larger than that of ordinary people, he can't hold it for too long. He only hopes that the paper man will go away quickly. otherwise……

The breath came to an end, but the paper figurine was still fixed in front of his eyes, with two lifeless black eyes looking at his face.

It can't be done... Ke Xun is in extreme pain, his brain is in a daze for a while due to lack of oxygen, and the blood vessels on his forehead are about to collapse.

Experts say that it is impossible for a person to suffocate himself to death by holding his breath.

Ke Xun said the experts were right.

No matter how powerful the willpower is, it can't do the physiological function.

Just before Ke Xun's will was about to lose to his physiology, he suddenly heard a heart-piercing scream from the direction of the main room in the north, followed by two or three screams from different mouths , that voice was so shrill that it didn't seem like the sound quality that a human being could make, it made people feel goosebumps gushing out from the flesh and blood under the skin.

The paper figurine in front of Ke Xun straightened up at the moment of the scream, and the face painted with ink disappeared from Ke Xun's vision, followed by a sound of paper, and the colorful trousers moved, one step at a time. Step into the darkness.

Listening to the moving direction of the sound, the paper figurine seemed to crawl out of the window, and then all the movements were covered up by the continuous miserable screams from the main room.

Ke Xun was drenched in sweat, panting heavily.

It's still hard to believe that just now, I really faced that weird supernatural thing, and really, almost got killed by it.

This time, he really believed it.

Sensing that Mu Yiran was looking down at him, Ke Xun gasped and raised his hand, saying OK.

Mu Yiran glanced at him with the gaze of a magical species.

I almost died just now, but now I still have the heart to tell others "I'm okay, don't worry".

I don't know if it's because I lack the nerve to fear death, or if my heart is too big.

Ignoring him, Mu Yiran stood up.

Ke Xun also got up from the ground, cautiously looking out from the window.

The outside yard is still pitch black, but the outline of the main house can be vaguely seen, and right in front of the door of the main house, the pair of paper-made boys and girls are standing with their backs, facing the door of the main house, It seems to be listening to the movement in the main room.

The heart-pounding screams in the main room had gradually subsided. Ke Xun remembered that there were three people holding a cloth with the word "people" in it, one was a middle-aged uncle with a beer belly, and the He looks like a rich man with a successful career, the other is a young man in his twenties with a face of resignation, and the other is one of the three drawn later than him and Wei Dongjin, who has been in a very serious situation. In a mood of panic and fear.

It can be deduced from the tragic level of the screams that the three of them are probably in danger.

Ke Xun didn't know what it was like in his heart for a moment. The three people who were alive a few hours ago were snatched away by some abnormal and inexplicable terrifying forces in that terrible house a few steps away. the right to live.

It's not that Ke Xun has never seen death, but such a death under the control of unnatural forces for no reason made him feel quite uncomfortable.

I can't tell if it's unwillingness, anger, fear, or bewilderment.

Mu Yiran looked at this newcomer who entered the painting for the first time with cold eyes.

In the previous painting, a newcomer who was terrified by someone else's death collapsed to the point of incontinence and howled, almost implicating him and dying with him.

There is also a newcomer who directly chose to commit suicide to escape.

In addition, there are many people who are scared stupid, scared crazy, and think that they can overcome everything and rush out to kill their lives recklessly.

The emotions displayed by the person in front of him at this moment are no different from those of the newcomers who have just entered the painting before.

In the world of painting, fragility and timidity mean certain death.

Mu Yiran was about to look away coldly, but saw this person suddenly raised his hand and wiped his face, then calmed down as quickly as possible, licked the corner of his mouth that was naturally a little loose, and had a little unruly eyes , it showed a bit of toughness.

Some people are not afraid of death, but even if they die, they will die on the corpse of an elephant with the body of an ant.

Mu Yiran withdrew his gaze, but saw Ke Xun retreating to his side, and lowered his voice to discuss with him: "There will be no sound in the mourning hall for a while, do you think the two paper figurines will come back?"

Let him hold his breath again, he is afraid that he will not be as lucky as before.

Mu Yiran was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking, and then lowered his voice: "From what I saw just now, my train of thought should be correct. As long as we don't move or breathe, the paper figurines won't attack us. In addition, maybe they If you can't see us, you won't come to us and try."

Ke Xun thought it made sense. At first, the paper figurine just walked outside in a leisurely manner. He walked out of the window and took a look in. After meeting his gaze, he began to scratch the window. , the paper talent really went berserk and smashed the window and climbed in.

So, if they are not allowed to see that there is a "shape" of a "person" in the room, will they not come into the room?

"Let's move the sack in the corner of the room, and then hide behind the sack." Mu Yiran's voice rang in his ears very softly, "Attention, the movement should be gentle, try not to make a little movement."

"it is good."

The two of them groped in the dark and moved towards the corner of the room little by little. Fortunately, the distance was not far away. Then they stooped and fumbled to pick up the sack and carefully shifted their positions.

The number of sacks is not large enough to build a fortress that can cover two people sitting side by side. It can also be blocked with a sack.

Although such a block can completely block the sight of the paper figurine, it will also cover all the gaps through which the two peep out, making it impossible to monitor the movement of the paper figurine. In this way, once the paper figurine launches an attack outside the sack, There was no way for the two of them to resist or evade in advance.

But if there is a little gap, it is afraid that it will become a breakthrough for the paper figurine.

The two of them finally decided to die and survive. If this method can't stop the paper figurine, then other methods are also useless.

The two lay sideways in a small fort made of sacks.

The space is very small, even if it is sideways, it is quite crowded.Mu Yiran refused to lie face to face with Ke Xun, so he turned around and faced outwards. Ke Xun didn't care too much, and stuck to Mu Yiran's back.

The barrier made of sacks divides the world into two. Although the small world of the two is crowded, it also feels somewhat safe because of the crowding.

However, after the outside world fell into dead silence again, the two worlds suddenly merged into one, and even the only sense of security disappeared.

The two lay motionless on their sides, breathing as lightly as possible. After a while, all the sounds in the darkness began to gradually become clear, the sound of thick fog surging in the middle of the night, the sound of the wind moaning and whimpering, and the rustling of paper rubbing around. moving sound.

Ke Xun didn't know how he survived the night.

He even felt that he fell asleep in the second half of the night not because he was sleepy, but because his nerves were too tense and he lost consciousness.

When I walked out of the granary in the gloomy and gray light of dawn, the situation at the door of the main room was no different from the situation when I came yesterday. courtyard.
