Paintings of Terror

"Ye Ning Chenyi's death method is exactly the same as He Yu's. Both of them were actually stained with abnormal colors, or brought their own colors into rooms they shouldn't be in." Mi Wei analyzed, "Is it possible to do this? It is inferred that those who pollute the color will not be dragged away, but will be executed on the spot."

Ke Xun suddenly said, "Perhaps those other people were dragged away not by corpses, but by living bodies——Xin Beibei may still be alive."

Everyone invariably thought of the coins in the pool—when Zhang Tianwei was found soaked in the large glass jar, there were coins with moon patterns in that pool.

According to speculation, Zhang Tianwei did not die at that time.

In this way, it is very likely that Xin Beibei did not die.

Shi Zhendong wanted to go upstairs: "I'm going to have a look in that circular building, maybe Beibei hasn't been put into a glass jar yet!"

Everyone was not in the mood to have breakfast at the moment, so they followed Shi Zhendong upstairs together.

Coming to the familiar open-air corridor on the fourth floor, the door of the circular building is still open, and the red door inside is also open, but the glass jar that once soaked Zhang Tianwei has disappeared without a trace.

The ground was as clean as new, as if those red liquids had never appeared here.

"Which floor is Xin Beibei likely to be on?" Mi Wei looked up at the copper ladder leading to the fifth and sixth floors.

"How about this, I'll climb up the ladder first and have a look." Ke Xun took the initiative to speak, and it was indeed his plan yesterday.

The copper ladder was very strong, and Ke Xun climbed up to the fifth floor in a short while. When he looked back, he found that Mu Yiran was following closely behind.

Ke Xun smiled slightly: "Are you concerned about me or are you concerned about me?"

Mu Yiran quickly went up to the fifth floor: "I just don't want someone to be left alone."

The two pushed open the wooden door of the hall on the fifth floor, and were soon attracted by the eye-catching blue clock on the wall.

"It should be right here." Ke Xun looked at the half-hidden blue door, and immediately shouted to everyone waiting in the corridor on the fourth floor: "It's on the fifth floor!"

Shi Zhendong and Zhu Haowen quickly climbed up, Ke Xun saw that Qin Ci was also coming up, and hurriedly shouted: "You don't need too many people, try not to leave alone!"

Qin Ci understands that through Mu Yiran's analysis today, it is very dangerous to "order" or even have a very small number of people.

It is best to keep more than three people in future actions, so as not to be bewitched by some kind of terrible.

The few people who came to the fifth floor used yesterday's method to force the blue door to open by "making wind"——

Although everyone had already thought of the scene in the door, when they saw the big blue glass jar with their own eyes, they still couldn't help but back away again and again.

There was half a bottle of blue liquid in the glass jar about two meters high. Xin Beibei's entire body was soaked in the liquid, except for a head floating on the water surface.

Seeing his girlfriend's situation, Shi Zhendong couldn't bear it any longer, and trembled violently all over his body: "This person...is he still Beibei——Beibei, Beibei! Can you hear me?!"

Xin Beibei's eyes were open, but their eyes were very empty, like a stone man.

"I called Sister Guo to come up and help!" Ke Xun walked up the ladder and returned to the fourth floor after saying this.

"Sister Guo? Xiao Guo?" Shi Zhendong was at a loss.

Zhu Haowen: "Sister Guo and Ke Xun are both members of the blue group, they should be eligible to enter this room."

After a while, Guo Lixia was "protected" by Wei Dong and Ke Xun: "The girl is still alive? How can we save her? Let's..."

Guo Lixia's words were quickly interrupted by the scene in front of her. This was the first time Sister Guo saw the storage glass jar. Although she didn't scream, she still couldn't control her emotion: "Oh my god..."

Mu Yiran looked at Ke Xun: "What are you planning?"

"Maybe I've wronged Sister Guo," Ke Xun walked into the blue room without hesitation, looking at the glass jar that was as tall as himself, "Sister Guo is supporting me below, I'll go up and see if I can Lift people out of it."

The glass jar is very slippery, and there is no foothold at all. It is too difficult for a person to climb directly.

Guo Lixia didn't hesitate too much, she just said at the moment: "I'm below, you step on my shoulders, it's all right! I'm just afraid, this glass tank is too big, what if you fall into it, the group leader?" !"

"Fuck, Sister Guo, you don't want to scare people!" Ke Xun smiled, and found that Mu Yiran was looking at him with a little concern, so he smiled again unconsciously.

"Okay, I'll try to grab your feet." Guo Lixia was also a person who dared to think and act, and quickly followed Ke Xun into the room.

"Wait a minute," said Mu Yiran, who somehow had a bundle of rope in his hand, "I found this behind the wooden door just now, it's safer to tie this around your waist."

"That's a good idea!" Guo Lixia was the first to throw out a praise, "Even if the team leader really slipped in, everyone can work together to drag him out! Brother Mu, you have to hurry up!"

Mu Yiran nodded invisibly, and Weidong quickly grabbed the rope, for fear that Ke Xun might make a mistake.

Shi Zhendong also came over: "Everyone pull together, safe!"

So, Ke Xun, who was tied with a rope around his waist, climbed onto Guo Lixia's shoulders and grabbed the mouth of the glass bottle, poking his head into it.

The entire blue water surface was like a small sea, and Xin Beibei's long black hair was floating on the sea surface, like some kind of seaweed.

"Xin Beibei? Can you hear me?" Ke Xun called out tentatively.

But the other party did not answer.

Ke Xun almost leaned half of his body into the glass bottle, stretched out his long arms, and finally touched the other party's hair with his hands. The cold and wet feeling was uncomfortable.

Without thinking about it, Ke Xun grabbed Xin Beibei's hair and tried to lift it up.

Ke Xun's strength was not too great, and he felt a little strenuous at first, but then suddenly felt relaxed.

A violent scream came from outside the room, and soon there was an even sharper scream from Guo Lixia at her feet.

Several people outside the blue gate saw an indelible scene in this life: Xin Beibei's head was easily pulled off, a column of blue liquid flowed out from the broken neck, and the facial features of the head suddenly sprayed out. blue liquid...

"Plop—" the head returned to the water again, floating freely on the surface of the water.

Ke Xun let go of his hand in a daze.

"Ke Xun! Come out quickly!" Mu Yiran tugged at the rope in his hand, and then called Ke Xun back to Hun'er.

Because Guo Lixia was overly frightened, she collapsed on the ground limply, causing Ke Xun to also fall to the ground.

Ke Xun's legs were also weak, but he still had to support Guo Lixia. The two staggered out of the scary blue room, and neither of them looked back at the scene there.

All the people looked at each other speechlessly, Ke Xun looked at Shi Zhendong, who was ashen-faced, and finally choked out three words: "I'm sorry..."

Like a puppet with broken strings, Shi Zhendong raised his head to look at Ke Xun after a long time: "I don't blame you..."

Zhu Haowen was still calm, and looked at the blue liquid on Ke Xun's hands: "You have to wash your hands quickly."

"Okay..." Ke Xun walked into the bathroom in the hall without thinking, and washed his hands directly.

In order to avoid suspicion, Guo Lixia also went to the bathroom to wash her hands well.

When Ke Xun finished washing his hands and walked out of the bathroom, he found Zhu Haowen standing at the door with his usual expressionless face: "If she didn't die just now, then you can be regarded as relieving her of her pain."

"I wish she was dead." Ke Xun felt like killing someone.

"You tried your best," said Mu Yiran, "You should have tried your best to save her last night, but it's a pity that the other party's strength is too strong."

Ke Xun glanced at Mu Yiran: "It was her own shadow that dragged her away last night, and I couldn't fight it. Her neck seemed to be tightly pinched by a pair of invisible hands."

Mu Yiran frowned, unable to figure out the cause and effect for a while.

Everyone went back to the fourth floor along the ladder. The people below saw everyone's expressions, and no one asked any more questions.

The group returned to their own building along the corridor, and Ke Xun washed his hands again in the bathroom on the fourth floor.

"What happened?" Mi Wei asked Wei Dong in a low voice.

Weidong sighed: "Xin Beibei is dead."

"Like Zhang Tianwei?"

"more or less."

Shi Zhendong stumbled down the stairs, and Guo Lixia, as a peer, also expressed deep sympathy: "I'll go down and see him, nothing will happen to him."

The familiar music sounded, and the voice of the NPC was still sweet: "A new day has arrived~ The castle has prepared a delicious breakfast for everyone. Welcome to the lobby on the first floor to taste! Our task today is still to store three bottles of berries ! Remember not to stain the color!"

Miao Zipei looked up at the clock on the wall that was still covered with indigo patterns: "Let's go downstairs, there are still many tasks to do today."

Indeed, although the workload has not changed, the number of members is slowly decreasing, which means that the workload is gradually increasing, and the time spent looking for signatures is getting less and less.

"Xin Beibei actually gave us some inspiration." Zhu Haowen said suddenly.

"You mean the labyrinth?" Mu Yiran asked.

"She has shown a lot of interest in the maze, and she really wants to go there in person," Zhu Haowen analyzed, "I don't think this is entirely her original intention, and there is also a lot of demagoguery in it."

Qin Ci nodded: "Let's go back to eat first, and then assign the laborers, and the others will focus on searching the maze. According to yesterday's plan," Qin Ci stretched his head out of the window to look at the maze below, "we can look down here Labyrinth, trace its course."

Ke Xun's expression improved slightly: "We can still use the rope."

Mu Yiran looked at the bundle of rope in his hand: "When Theseus broke the Minotaur's labyrinth, he used a ball of string."

Wei Dong was confused while listening: "What kind of things are those?"

"That is the earliest labyrinth in the world. It was probably built in 1600 BC. It dates back to the Mycenaean period. The labyrinth is located on the island of Chris in ancient Greece." Mu Yiran said.

Ke Xun recalled what he saw last night: "About the maze, is there always a maze guard?"

"Perhaps, when King Milos built a labyrinth for Minotaur, the person who guards the labyrinth should be Minotaur himself."

Ke Xun frowned: "I saw a person from the window last night, standing in the northeast corner of the maze, when Xin Beibei was just dragged away by the shadow, that person stood there for a few minutes before walking in. "
