Paintings of Terror

This red rain character is written very reluctantly, especially the last stroke. The second dot on the right is a state of sliding down.

It is conceivable that Yu Ji's state when he was writing this character, even when he was about to finish writing, was probably already completely out of character.

"Yu Ji's internal organs are all broken, and he insisted on finishing writing the word rain." Ke Xun checked the side of the word again. There were no other marks, only this solitary "rain", "I don't think it is What last words, this should be a signal. Yu Ji was too painful to wake Qin Ci, so he could only use blood to write on the wall?"

"They were in the same room last night. If Yu Ji wants to say something, he should explain it last night." Mu Yiran tried to look at the word "rain" from multiple angles, but shook his head slightly, "Yu Ji was in life. Trying hard to write at the last minute, it's more like aiming at an unexpected situation."

"You mean, what did Yu Ji see before he died, or did he receive a call before he died?" Ke Xun's thoughts followed Mu Yiran very closely.

Mu Yiran walked over and checked the phone in the room. This phone was much more advanced than the police dormitory, and at least the caller ID could be checked. There is no fingerprint or DNA test in this painting, but Mu Yiran put on his gloves and pressed the query button: "This phone only received two calls last night, both of which came from our dormitory number. One was last night. You called at 11:00, and the other one was called by Qin Ci when we asked the hospital for help at 4:00 AM."

Indeed, Ke Xun called Qin Ci last night and talked to him about finding a signature. Thinking of this, Ke Xun's brows gradually stretched, and he ran to Yu Ji's bed again to observe the word "rain".

"Yan, look, the writing of the word rain is not the same as we usually do. We usually write the 4 dots inside as diagonal dots, and the dots inside are horizontal. I just thought it was His writing style as a painter, but in fact..." Ke Xun repeatedly wrote this word in the palm of his hand, "Don't you think this word is a little shorter overall?"

Mu Yiran looked at Ke Xun's eyes with appreciation: "It seems that this is not a separate word, it is a prefix."

This word for rain is exactly the beginning of the name of the author of this painting, Yu Beiguo.

Ke Xun didn't dare to imagine that he actually made important suggestions in terms of words..., "If Luo Wei's long list of artist signatures could include this name last night, we might be able to guess it faster. "

"In fact, Luo Wei wrote the name, but I don't know if the pen ran out of water or the word was blocked. I only vaguely saw the scratches on the strokes of the word, but there was no color." Mu Yiran speculated, "This The name is very important, and the people behind the scenes are trying their best to block the name."

"If Yu Ji writes down this word before he died, he might be blocked again." Ke Xun still couldn't understand why Yu Ji wrote this name before. "I called Qin Ci last night. He said that he would notify the members of the hospital. Yu Ji should already know it, so there is no need to write this name out to remind everyone."

"Unless, the name Yubei Kingdom has other important meanings to Yu Ji." Mu Yiran fell into thought.

"On the night when I first entered the painting, Yu Ji and Su Benxin both mentioned Yu Beiguo, but both said they were not familiar with this person. I remember Yu Ji said that he had just returned to China and didn't know Yu Beiguo at all." Ke Xun remembered it clearly. It was only when those two people talked about this that they said that Yubei Kingdom had died of depression.

"Perhaps at that time, Xincheng has already begun to slowly play its role. Some people have already begun to forget some people in their own world, just as we all ignored Rowe's existence when we first got the temporary residence permit."

Let people gradually integrate into this city, and gradually recognize that another country is their hometown. This is perhaps the most terrifying aspect of this painting.

"Perhaps Qin Ci can provide us with more answers." Mu Yiran said.

Qin Ci must have seen this word, maybe he was thinking of something, this will make people secretly give the key to Mu Yiran, and explain that Mu Yiran and Ke Xun will come to the bedroom.

"Who is Qin Ci guarding against?" Ke Xun thought of this first.

"We will keep it secret for now, and we will talk about it when Qin Ci comes back."

...

After a long four-hour operation, Qin Ci walked out of the operating room. As the whole person was too exhausted, everyone was too embarrassed to immediately ask about the situation of the beast.

After Qin Ci took a shower and changed clothes, he met with everyone in the office.

"The nurse said that the operation will take a long time, so we simply divided the labor and went downstairs and moved around." Wei Dong said.

Qin Ci pressed his temple, and his voice was exhausted: "Do you have any gains?"

"We just walked around and looked around. It's impossible to find the signature on the street," Wei Dong looked at Zhao Yanbao. "Xiao Zhao seems to have seen something unusual."

Obviously, Zhao Yanbao had not had time to tell everyone about his own experience, so he took the conversation over: "I went a little farther, and went to the university town. I think in a city where there is no Internet and information is relatively closed. More progressive information can only be found in universities."

At this point, everyone admires this psychologist.

"It happened by a coincidence that a parade is being held at the entrance of the university. It may be that the students' movements are restricted, so the activity can only be set at the entrance of the school."

"What is it?" Qin Ci was curious.

"I oppose the sale of beasts and the killing of souls." Zhao Yanbao said this slogan word by word. "These students believe that the beast is a part of the human soul. If the beast is stripped away, the soul of the dead will no longer be complete."

"Then what do they plan to do with the beast? Some beasts... come out by themselves without being stripped." Su Benxin said.

"Transfer the beast to the deceased's body and let the remains intact."

Su Benxin slowly shook his head: "These university students' remarks are too superstitious."

Zhao Yanbao ignored Su Benxin’s words and continued: “In fact, the medical books and government newspapers that we have seen are all relatively one-sided statements. At present, quite a few people in this city have advocated that the beast returns to the body, the soul. "Complete," some philanthropists will even collect beasts, and then ask experts to supersede them, find the cemetery of the host of these beasts, and burn the beasts in front of the tomb to return to their origins.

Everyone had different expressions after hearing these words.

Ke Xun always felt that since "breaking the question" last night, the city itself is slowly revealing its true colors, as if everything is awakening.

Su Benxin sighed softly: "This world presents us with difficult problems. Should we find the beast or the signature first? Those college students can't believe what they say, and sometimes too pioneering behavior does not represent progress. The beasts of our members should be stored temporarily, and we will deal with them after we find the final answer."

Su Benxin seemed to have thought of something again: "So last night we proposed the'replace the beast with the beast' for the time being. Once the beasts of our friends are exchanged, they will never come back."

Zhu Haowen seemed a little impatient, and asked Qin Ci directly: "What's the situation with Yu Ji? What about Lion? What we have to do now is to avoid death and find signatures."

Qin Ci put down the water cup he had just finished drinking, with a heavy expression: "Because Yu Ji's beast is still under repair, so I can't show it to everyone for the time being. The condition of that beast is unprecedented, and its shape has been separated from the creature itself."

Everyone's attention was focused on Qin Ci's face, and they wanted to know what it was like to escape from the creature itself.

"It was a huge picture frame, a big square picture frame made up of 4 hard horizontal bars, and it appeared straight into his body. The four corners pierced his internal organs and caused death."

This incident has once again refreshed everyone's worldview, so that people don't know how to say something if they want to express their opinions.

After a while, Ke Xun said, "Maybe, this has something to do with Yu Ji's profession. He is a painter himself, and maybe he has some obsession with painting in his heart."

"What a knot of heart!" Wei Dong said with a wry face, "Such a big picture frame is actually born in my body... Will I give birth to a big monitor at that time, which also shows that I often Those art design software..."

Zhu Haowen asked: "So, is there any content in that big picture frame? Is it empty?"

Qin Ci's expression is a bit complicated: "It's just a big picture frame without paper or patterns in the middle."

"It's terrible, it's terrible," Su Benxin felt as if his internal organs were also **** by some sharp weapon. "This picture frame must have been created suddenly, or suddenly enlarged, just like Lion's... Like a puffer beast, it suddenly appeared and took the life of its owner."

Qin Ci continued: "The sum of Yu Ji's beast and Lion's is 2000 grams, no more, no less."

This number once again reminds everyone that only by consecrating the beasts in everyone's body can they make up 13 kilograms.

Zhu Haowen looked at Luo Wei who was sitting next to him, and said to everyone: "Finding signatures, don’t forget that our purpose is to find signatures. This task is different from the task of making paint in "Shadow". It must be done quantitatively every day, but this time it gave us 6 and a half days. We only need to paint before the final cut-off point. There is no need to slam on the hunt for beasts."

Everyone nodded, the weight of the invisible beast pressing on everyone's heart seemed to lighten slightly.

"By the way, how is Xiao Qinxian's situation?" Luo Wei asked Qin Ci.

"She... is too frightened and needs rest." Qin Ci replied.

Luo Wei was thoughtful, but did not continue on this topic: "Then let's group as soon as possible. Time is not waiting for anyone, so we must hurry up to find a signature."
