Paintings of Terror

"But the old man looks like eating people--really, literally, eating people!" Wei Dong looked scared, "I think you might not be able to ask anything, maybe it will be his lunch— In other words, I think our lunch may have been soaked up, the old man has changed, and I wondered that he might have forgotten how to make human food..."

Mu Yiran ignored the long-winded words behind him: "Even if he has become unable to answer questions anymore, we still need to enter his back room to find clues."

Weidong shuddered: "You are just pulling your teeth out of your mouth. It's too dangerous, Ke Er, please persuade you."

Ke Xun looked at Mu Yiran: "You really want to go?"

Mu Yiran didn't answer, but looked at him blankly.

Ke Xun: "I will accompany you."

Weidong: "..."

Ma Zhenhua said tremblingly: "May I, can I not follow? I can continue looking for seals elsewhere..."

Zhang Maolin also hurriedly followed up: "I also look for the seal first, let's not delay either."

Before the rest of the people expressed their opinions, Mu Yiran said calmly: "If you are not afraid, you can go to the mourning hall of Li's house and look for it carefully. We have already searched for other places in the village, and only the mourning hall is left. With the old man’s house most likely. We will still be gathering here in an hour."

Ke Xun also pulled Weidong over, and whispered to him: "Be careful yourself. If you don't see me at night, I'm probably brave. You have the key to my house. If you can leave this painting, go to my house. On one trip, my real estate certificate, all the certificates and information for opening the gym, my ID card and my bank card were all placed in a flowerpot with a fake cactus planted on the balcony. All the things that require a password are behind my ID card. Six people, you donated my deposit. The house is rented out. The rent is used to add new equipment to the gym. The income from the gym is shared with my co-workers. There is 1 T movie in my computer. It's yours."

"Fuck! The one T you **** save is all calcium tablets, I don't need it!" Wei Dong cursed, holding Ke Xun's arm worriedly, "You really want to go? Just for him? There is no fragrant grass in the end of the world, you have to pay your life for this one? You only know him for a few days, besides, there are so many people who are as curved as you? For a straight man , Aren't you at a loss?"

"What are you thinking about. For him and for ourselves, the teaching motto of our physical education department: There is a reward for what you pay. You can't always let others pay, let's wait for the results." Ke Xun said, "Besides, you forgot, I His intuition is always accurate."

"So?" Wei Dong didn't know why.

Ke Xun smiled, turned and walked towards Mu Yiran.

The two groups worked separately.

Mu Yiran and Ke Xun came outside the old man's courtyard. Mu Yiran stopped and looked at Ke Xun: "You really want to go in with me?"

"I will not only go in with you, but also come out with you." Ke Xun said.

"I'm afraid not." Mu Yiran said, "If you don't plan to change your mind, then listen to my arrangements next."

Ke Xun: "Okay, you say."

Mu Yiran looked at him carefully: "Wait for you to enter the courtyard gate and walk carefully to the door of the house. If the old man chases him out, try to lead him away. I will take the opportunity to enter the house and search for his back room. In the meantime, I hope you can hold him back, the longer the better. Can it be done?"

"I have a question," Ke Xun said. "This old man can't be judged by ordinary people's standards. What if he jumps faster than me?"

"Since you and Wei Donggang are able to escape from his house, they will definitely be able to escape this time." Mu Yiran said, "Even if you just escaped too fast, out of his control, you were able to completely take him away. Dump him, so this time you have a good sense of measure. Do not let him catch up or throw him too far. Always keep a safe chasing distance. Take him out of the yard and try to drag him out for as long as possible. If I can finish the work ahead of time, I will go to you and get rid of him when the time comes. How about, are there any questions?"

"Yes," Ke Xun said, "what's your phone number?"

Mu Yiran coldly said, "If there is no problem, just go in."

Ke Xun moved his legs and feet, stretched his muscles, and motioned to Mu Yiran: "You hide by the door, I will lead the old man out and run over here."

Mu Yiran stood on the other side of the door and saw Ke Xun stepped into the courtyard door with his long legs.

Mu Yiran looked at his back and walked towards the door almost without hesitation. The usual sloppy and lazy posture disappeared without a trace. The upright back and the flexible and powerful gait made him at this moment. It really looks like... a sharp character from the sports department.

The sharp man Ke Xun went to the door of the room.

The door of the house is closed, and the situation in the house is not visible.

Ke Xun didn't want to leave time for his brain to make up for the situation, so he stretched out his hand and opened the door.

With a "creak", the gray light filled the dim hall. The old head stood still in the room like a walking corpse.

The moment he saw Ke Xun, his mouth was suddenly cracked on his gray face like a withered corpse. The dark gums and mouth were like bottomless black holes, expanding and expanding until they exceeded the energy of the human mouth. Zhang reached the limit, and immediately rushed towards Ke Xun with such a big mouth.

Ke Xun turned around and ran, listening to the wind behind him and the old man's footsteps to judge the distance between the two.

This is Ke Xun's expert skill. When he is in school, he participates in large and small competitions, listens to the position and judges the opponent's running position, which has a vital influence on the adjustment of game tactics.

Ke Xun controlled the distance between the old man and himself, always keeping about five steps, and ran out of the courtyard one after another.

Mu Yiran until Ke Xun took the old man out of his sight, then quickly entered the courtyard gate and went straight to the inner room where the old man lived.

Ke Xun dared not go in the direction of the locust tree, for fear of meeting a few other people, he took the old man back and forth between the villages.

After thinking about it, he is the only one who can do this job. If you change someone else, you don't have his speed or his endurance.

His current speed has not reached his own fastest level, but by ordinary people's standards, it is already quite fast. If Weidong hadn't been dragged by him at the time, he would have had to let the old man rush to it. Don't mention the need to keep running at this speed, and in order to give Mu Yiran enough time, it is likely to continue running for dozens of minutes.

There is one thing that Ke Xun doesn't quite understand. If the old man is not a real person, but that kind of "thing", his "competitive level" should be no worse than that of a human.

Mu Yiran said that if you don’t follow the rules in the painting, you will encounter irresistible backlash, and what happened in these two nights has also proved that those “things” that have appeared before, although there are ways to avoid encountering The harm, in fact, was because they happened to be avoided by chance or fortunately. If they were encountered head-on, they would have no hope of surviving.

In other words, the kind of power in this painting, even if there are rules to follow, can't directly resist.

But this old man is not.

This old man can't run him.

Isn't it weird?

Ke Xun thought so, couldn't help but glanced around.

This sight didn't make me stumble.

He doesn't know what it is that is chasing him. A **** hole covers his head. Two skinny hands stretched forward, with long fingers, grouped with thin arms, like It is the three locust trees that yield and yield.

It was the old man's abdomen that was terrible.

Because of the fast running, the clothes on his body were blown tightly against the body by the wind, and a bump on his abdomen was clearly outlined.

That is a face.

The facial features are complete and the expression is vivid.

This face is crying.

It opened its mouth wide, heart-piercing, painful, and constantly swinging and struggling as the old man ran.

Ke Xun felt itchy all over and couldn't help scratching his stomach.

Suddenly a thought flashed in my mind: itching...itching all over...the experience of last night...

After running for an unknown amount of time, and finally seeing Mu Yiran's figure appear in front, Ke Xun yelled out loudly: "Big brother, this guy--it's a deformity!"

Mu Yiran made a gesture, and disappeared into the corner. Ke Xun speeded up, and a few minutes later shook off the old man.

Mu Yiran waited on the only way to the locust tree. Seeing Ke Xun walked over in strides and ran at such a fast speed for so long, this person actually only had a little panting, and his mental head even looked like he had just The activities are the same as the bones.

With this kind of physical strength, even Mu Yiran sighed.

"This old man is also a deformity," Ke Xun stepped forward. "There is a face on his stomach. I suspect that there is a brain in his stomach. Even if he can't think, he can control the face on his stomach. Expression. Is there any clue in his room?"

Mu Yiran: "Yes. Cypress wood."

"He beat Li Weiwei's coffin?" Ke Xun was surprised. "They are all deformities, so why are you too anxious."

"His name is Li Mazi," Mu Yiran glanced at him. "It is Li Guaiguai's father and his...brother."

Ke Xun was stunned: "I seem to know something extraordinary."

Mu Yiran expressionlessly: "Because this village is closed and backward, many ignorant and unethical customs are left behind. Because many people are married with close relatives, the medical level is low, the survival rate of offspring is not high, and there are too many men and few women. In order to proliferate, under the consensus of the villagers, a system of co-wife has gradually emerged."

"... It's terrible to be closed behind." Ke Xun had no idea what to say.

"Actually, the probability of a baby defect in a marriage between close relatives is only 4%," Mu Yiran continued, "Many of these deformed children die prematurely before they even reach adulthood, and some die even when they are infancy. Like Li Mazi. Guaiguai and Li Guaiguai grew up to be a minority in this village."

"I don't know if this is lucky or unfortunate," Ke Xun said.

"Of course he won't be lucky." Mu Yiran looked at him, "Can you imagine what kind of life he has lived in the village since he was a child with a deformity that is almost a demon?"
