Paintings of Terror

After several long and deep breaths, Ke Xun felt his body recover gradually, and he was finally able to clenched his fists more forcefully.

Ke Xun put himself on the bed and tried to sit up. He had to find a way to close the window.

Xin Beibei on the opposite bed was lying motionless, she didn't know if she had fallen asleep or was lying there watching Ke Xun.

Just when Ke Xun finally stood up and was about to go to the window, suddenly his eyes seemed to be blind, and the unexpected darkness enveloped everything again.

Ke Xun stood where he was, not daring to act rashly when he couldn't tell the direction.

This time it felt very definite that something had come into the house instead of just "passing" like the previous two times.

In the huge and invisible darkness, only the sense of smell and hearing are alive.

Maybe Guo Lixia felt fear in the dream, her snoring sound was reduced a lot, only the long breath in sleep remained.

Another voice in the darkness came from Xin Beibei. It was a very rapid gasp, a gasp that was so painful that it was about to suffocate.

Darkness has a "color" taste, like the smell of those berries in the workshop, and also like the smell from the bottle where Zhang Tianwei was soaked.

Ke Xun felt an extremely strong smell of color passing through his nose, and then it gradually faded away. Ke Xun's eyes looked in the direction of the window, as if the other party was about to leave the window.

Finally, a touch of gray came into view, which was the color of the window frame, and then the entire square window frame was displayed in front of the eyes, and everything in the room could gradually be seen clearly.

Guo Lixia's polka dot pattern is still lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

Ke Xun's own water ripple pattern stands in the middle of the room.

Xin Beibei's diamond pattern was being dragged towards the window in an extremely distorted manner.

That's right, Xin Beibei wriggled like a snake being dragged, or a piece of cloth being moved.

Ke Xun clearly saw the thing that was dragging Xin Beibei. It came from under Xin Beibei's feet. It was black and about the same size as Xin Beibei.

If there is no mistake in judgment, this thing should be Xin Beibei's own shadow.

Ke Xun slowly stepped back and returned to his bed, trying to stay away from Xin Beibei and her shadow.

"Xin Beibei?" Ke Xun finally called the other party's name. The death happened before his eyes, and it was impossible to ignore it.

The diamond pattern belonging to Xin Beibei made an indistinct sound: "Gulu..."

It sounded like a low gag from suffocation.

Ke Xun broke out in a cold sweat, watching Xin Beibei's body being slowly dragged out of the bed and moving towards the window sill.

Xin Beibei's shadow had gradually spread to the window sill, dragging her feet towards the window sill.

Ke Xun boldly approached Xin Beibei's head. Now her head is the farthest from the shadow, and it should be a safer place.

Xin Beibei made a hoarse gasping sound, as if being strangled by something.

Ke Xun grabbed Xin Beibei's shoulders and tried to drag her back, but found that his strength was far from the opponent's.

Ke Xun boldly touched Xin Beibei's neck tentatively with his hands, and found that her neck was deeply sunken - the flesh on her neck seemed to be tightly strangled by some invisible thing.

Ke Xun touched the sunken shape, and withdrew his hand.

That shape clearly came from an invisible big hand.

Because of the disparity in strength, Ke Xun could only watch helplessly as Xin Beibei was dragged away from the window by his own shadow. The narrow shape covered with diamond patterns squirmed in pain and gradually disappeared into the window. s position.

Ke Xun chased to the window and poked his head out. The black shadow had already merged into the thick night. What stood out was the pattern belonging to Xin Beibei, which seemed to be crumbling under the drag of the black shadow, and was slowly dragged past the next door The window turned to a distance beyond the reach of sight.

As seen last night.

It was only at this time that Ke Xun felt a little cold. It turned out that his clothes were soaked through with sweat.

Ke Xun looked at the windows on the left and right, and found that the windows of all the rooms were tightly closed, so he was about to close his own windows as well.

Scanning the pool and the maze outside, I suddenly found that there was a black and white pattern in the maze, which was very clear in the pure gray maze.

That should be a person, the person in the labyrinth in the middle of the night.

Ke Xun wanted to see the pattern of that person's clothes clearly, but the distance was too far, and he could only vaguely see the outline of that person, standing straight beside the maze, as if he was looking at Ke Xun.

Ke Xun closed the window subconsciously, but did not leave the window, but continued to observe the other party through the pane.

The man stood there for a few more minutes, then walked into the maze and disappeared.

At last the whole night was over, and it was dawn.

The first news everyone got was: Ye Ning Chenyi died miserably like He Yu yesterday.

Fortunately, the other two people in the purple room were not affected by it, and the whole room did not change, and the door was still purple.

Ye Ningchenyi's death may have been expected by everyone, but Xin Beibei's disappearance puzzled everyone.

Many people unanimously cast their sympathetic eyes on Shi Zhendong.

Shi Zhendong was silent for a long time, and his voice seemed to be trying to suppress his sobs: "The blue pattern on the clock yesterday turned out to be related to Beibei."

"But, how did Xin Beibei be selected? Did she also pollute the color?" After Mi Wei said this, she subconsciously looked at the clock in the hall on the second floor, and saw that it was still the indigo color from last night, and she was secretly relieved. Take a breath.

"Perhaps visiting the house will also change the color of the clock." Mu Yiran glanced at everyone, making sure that the remaining nine people were present, and then continued: "Yesterday Miao Zipei said that the clock changed from orange to blue. It happened yesterday morning, but at that time, all the people had not worked, so everyone thought that this change had nothing to do with the pollution color."

"At that time yesterday morning, everyone was on the second floor, just like now." Qin Ci said.

Mu Yiran continued: "That's why I said that visiting people will also change the color of the clock."

"You mean, someone stopped by yesterday morning?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Think about it carefully, when everyone was observing He Yu's body in the red room yesterday, who was left alone?" Mu Yiran asked a question.

Before many people figured it out, Shi Zhendong suddenly said: "It's Beibei, she was very scared at the time, so I told those girls not to enter the red room, but the other two girls went in anyway... At that time, only Beibei is left alone."

Zhu Haowen also recalled: "We stayed in the red room for a long time, at least for more than 20 minutes. What did Xin Beibei do in the hall alone? Why did she stop by?"

Everyone was puzzled, Xin Beibei could be said to be the least courageous of the group, how dare she risk her life to go to a room of another color.

"I told everyone before that when a person is alone, especially in the hall alone, he is likely to be bewitched." Mu Yiran looked at everyone, "I experienced it myself yesterday afternoon. After this incident, because of hallucinations, people can't help but want to open the door of other colors."

Ke Xun experienced a whole night of tossing around, and was a little listless in the early morning of the next day. Hearing these words now, he seemed to think of something: "No wonder I always feel that Xin Beibei's hostility towards Hao Wen'er is a bit groundless. Now that I think about it , the temptation the other party gave her may have something to do with Haowen'er."

"You mean to say that she pushed open our green door alone yesterday morning when everyone gathered in the red room because of the revelation about me?" Zhu Haowen said.

"It's very possible, no, it should be said that it's the only possibility," Ke Xun looked at the closed green door, "the combination of blue and green is exactly cyan."

Shi Zhendong's eyes were red, and his voice was a little hoarse: "But, there was nothing wrong with Beibei yesterday, and her behavior was no different from usual."

"This is probably the brilliance of this world," said Mu Yiran, "people who are bewitched by it have always maintained their own temperament, and only when they need to do things for them, they will do it suddenly, so that they will not perceived by us."

Weidong scratched his somewhat disheveled hair: "You mean, the blue stain on Xiaoye's body yesterday was also done by Xin Beibei?"

Mu Yiran did not speak, expressing his acquiescence.

Guo Lixia frowned: "But after finishing our work at noon yesterday, the three of us washed our hands well, especially Xin Beibei's was the cleanest."

"There's no need to stick the obvious color on your hands, just secretly hide a blue berry in your pocket." Mu Yiran started his own deduction, "Everyone has assigned work at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the green room Some people continued to work, the rest went to the fourth floor to check on the changes in Zhang Tianwei's body, and the rest stayed in the hall on the first floor."

Weidong nodded: "That's right, there were me, Xiaoye, Guo Jie and Xin Beibei staying behind."

"If I'm not mistaken, Xin Beibei and Ye Ningchenyi's movements were relatively intimate at that time, right?"

"Yes, Sister Guo was taking a nap at the time, and the two girls were chatting all the time, so I couldn't get in." Wei Dong still felt that Ye Ningchen's death was wronged, "Xiao Ye obviously cleaned her skirt, why? still……"

"Perhaps the color in this world is defined as something that cannot be washed off. Even if it is invisible to the naked eye, it still existed," Mi Wei's voice still tried to keep calm, "That's why the clock suddenly turned into indigo at that time. color!"

The omens that everyone linked to yesterday have already matched the current inferences.

"When Xiaoye had an accident last night, did you hear any abnormal noises in the room? Or did you see anything unusual?" Qin Ci asked.

Weidong's face looked haggard: "We didn't sleep last night, and Xiaoye didn't dare to sleep. Then the room suddenly went dark, and there was no movement during that process. When the room returned to its original state, we found that Xiaoye was gone. gone."

"Gone?"

"The pattern belonging to Xiaoye disappeared, and her body merged with the darkness. I didn't realize until dawn that she had become like that..." Wei Dong couldn't continue.

The real death in this world is to merge with the darkness; but in the daytime, it is as pale as a wall.
