Paintings of Terror

The word "random" is extremely disgusting here. Because there are no routines and rules to talk about, and there is no way to respond and avoid it, all by luck.

Ke Xun glanced at Mu Yiran beside him, and saw that he was motionless, like a white stone statue, even his breath was barely audible.

Ke Xun retracted his gaze and listened to the thick and slow gasp of the giant shadow, and subconsciously adjusted his breathing to match it. With the gasping sound of the giant shadow concealed, Ke Xun could hardly hear his own breathing. .

The giant shadow finally came to the tent of the two of them. Ke Xun saw that its eight fat arms seemed to be uncontrolled by it, dancing in the air, between these arms, a **** round thing Covering the top of the tent, Ke Xun guessed that it was the head of the giant shadow. It seemed to be squatting down and pressing its head against the tent.

The gasp suddenly sounded above his head, and through the thin tent leather, Ke Xun vaguely saw the two eyes on the huge head blinking slowly.

It is looking into the tent.

Ke Xun closed his eyes subconsciously.

The feeling of being stared at by something indescribable, it is indescribable, because it is hard to predict whether this thing will stretch out its huge palm and pinch them out of the tent in the next second. Go out, and then throw it into its blood basin.

Ke Xun was expecting it to leave quickly, but the gasp over his head stayed in place unhurriedly, and always looked at Ke Xun and Mu Yiran in the tent.

The longer the time, the tighter the nerves and the more emotional breakdown, like the tip of a knife hanging above the head, I don't know when it will fall, but it is more reassuring than falling early.

Ke Xun's cold sweat was already involuntarily oozing out, and a heart was about to burst in his chest. If it weren't for the giant shadow's gasps, he thought it might be able to hear his heartbeat.

Such a situation was placed under the blade. I don't know how long it has passed. The gasp finally moved away from the ears. The giant shadow moved its legs and slowly walked towards another tent.

Ke Xun relaxed the muscles that had been tight for too long, opened his eyes and turned his face to look at Mu Yiran.

Mu Yiran was lying on his side, only half of the curved jaw and one eye were exposed in the light and shadow.

Neither of them moved any more, listening quietly to the outside movement.

It didn't take too long, and a sad scream exploded among the tent groups.

Because the voice was too harsh and changed his tone, Ke Xun couldn't tell who made it for a while. He turned his face and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that the giant shadow was picking up a person from the tent with one hand. , This man struggled frantically, but couldn't break away from the giant shadow's hands.

The giant shadow carried him like a young mouse. It straightened up and stood upright. The man was lifted into the air by it. The giant shadow’s other arms, which were still twisting and dancing, suddenly stretched forward, stout. 'S fingers held the person's head, limbs and torso respectively.

Then, gently pull.

Ke Xun closed his eyes.

But still let the image of thick blood and viscera spilling on the retina.

Ke Xun finally heard the screams, which belonged to the young man Tan Zheng.

The middle-aged man said that two people must be accounted for. So the one who died tonight was Tan Zheng, who had drawn his own account.

When the day was about to dawn, all the frozen shadows trembled again with the wind. The tent was a little cold, and the wind leaked from all around. Ke Xun moved his numb body, sat up, and saw that Mu Yiran had opened the account. The curtain went out.

Ke Xun followed out and took a look in the direction where Tan Zheng was caught last night. He saw that on the rocky ground of gray flowers, red blood spots were sprayed everywhere, and Tan Zheng's broken limbs were thrown everywhere.

Several newcomers were terrified. The beauty named Li Ziling fainted. She hasn’t woken up yet. Zhou Bin’s girlfriend Zhao Dan vomited directly in the tent. Wei Dong was covered with dirt and suffering. Looking around for something to shave.

Ma Zhenhua urinated in fright. Hui Bai squatted outside the tent with a face, and from time to time courageously looked at Tan Zheng's death. Qin Ci and Mu Yiran were converging their severed limbs, and then covered them with a torn blanket.

Qin Ci looked at Mu Yiran: "Without the head."

"Yeah." Mu Yiran looked at the sky above, "That thing is taken away."

Qin Ci said: "It seems that the rules this time are actually very simple. Only those who live in a tent alone will die."

"So now we have twelve people left, no one will be alone tonight, does it mean that no one will die again?" Ke Xun walked over and said.

Qin Ci looked down: "Obviously this is not good news. If you are undead, just vote."

Someone will die.

Compared with those who have been in painting before, the acceptance and adaptability of the newcomers are much worse. Until they gathered in the biggest tent that the middle-aged man said, the faces of several people were still very ugly, and they almost scared the road. Can't walk.

The middle-aged man was already waiting in the tent, looking at the crowd with bleak eyes: "The sacrifice will be held on the seventh day, and you must respect the sacrifices, namely: five wise dew, five tribute meat, dome, libation, Offering bowls, lamps, gala, dangka..."

Following a series of strange nouns spit out from the man's mouth, everyone looked at each other, but Mu Yiran's expression grew darker.

"We will gather here after dark. Let's have breakfast now." The middle-aged man left the tent after speaking. The food was already placed on the ground table behind him.

Breakfast consists of loose and crushed pasta made of coarse grains, milk tea separated from water and milk, and a few pieces of sour yellow cheese.

"You can eat as much as you want. No, you don't have the energy to hold on." Wei Dong sat next to Li Ziling to comfort him.

"Will it be poisonous here?" Li Ziling's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she might not be able to cry at this moment, and asked Wei Dong dumbly.

"No, rest assured, it just tastes a little disgusting, but it's better than nothing," Wei Dong said.

Ke Xun and Mu Yiran, who was sitting next to him, spoke in a low voice: "That person just chanted a lot of things, is it all related to the Suo Tuo Sect?"

Mu Yiran put down the tea bowl in his hand, his voice was slightly cold, "It depends, it depends on which branch of Suotuo teaches."

Barely filling his stomach, Zhou Bin among the newcomers was the first to relax and look at Mu Yiran and Qin Ci: "Where do the seals of the painters you mentioned usually appear? , In what form will it appear?"

Qin Ci replied: "Every painting is different. This is not true. According to the several paintings we have entered before, there are usually two ways to find the seal. One is to crack the painter’s painting. The intention of the painting, or the secret hidden in it, is what we call "breaking the game". One is to complete the task set by the world in the painting, where the seal is located, and the clues provided in the painting, and ourselves The penetrating meaning of the painting has a very close relationship."

"But how did this game break? I can't figure it out at all!" Zhou Bin was anxious.

Qin Ci said: "In fact, we didn't feel the way. We can't find clues just by waiting. During the day, we can look around."

"How do you find the dull?" Zhou Bin asked.

The glasses girl Sha Liu suddenly interrupted: "I think the clue may be related to the ritual supplies that the person just mentioned."

Qin Ci nodded slightly: "This is probably equivalent to the task set for us, so if we find a way to complete it, there may be gains."

Zhou Bin said hurriedly: "Then what are you waiting for, let's leave now!"

His girlfriend Zhao Dan held his arm: "But what are those things? I don't understand at all. Meat, wine and lanterns are okay. Others sound like foreign languages?"

Sha Liu helped the glasses on the bridge of her nose: "I feel that this place is a bit like the Ganxiong Plateau, where the Suotuo religion is popular. Have you seen the colored flags standing in the distance? This is a very obvious sign. , Then the string of nouns that the person mentioned just now, I think it is the artifacts in the local language."

Zhou Bin said: "Then we only need to find these things, right? Get out quickly, find everything early, and leave this ghost place early!"

Qin Ci glanced at the crowd and said, "Of course you are looking for things, but you shouldn't find them in a mess. The twelve of us, I suggest to divide them into four groups, go in four directions, and return at noon. Come here to communicate about progress and gains."

No one had any objections, Zhou Bin asked: "How to group?"

Ma Zhenhua staggered and threw herself in front of Mu Yiran: "May I be with you? Please, please!"

Seeing this, Li Ziling got up and ran over there, hugging Mu Yiran's arm, looking at him pitifully: "Brother, I want to be with you too, please, I'm afraid..."

Ke Xun: "..."

Weidong: "..."

Sha Liu looked at Ke Xun: "Can I be with you?"

Ke Xun: "..."

Weidong: "..."

Qin Ci looked at Mu Yiran and Ke Xun: "Is it so decided?"

Ke Xun: "I don't agree."

Weidong: "+1."

Qin Ci: "So, are you still drawing lots to decide?"

Zhou Bin frowned: "Why do you have to draw lots to decide everything? Time is running out, so what are you still waiting for!"

"He was right," Ke Xun said. "If it's too bad for him to separate from his girlfriend, it's daytime, not night, so I can do the task with someone I know well. As I said, Zhou Bin and his girlfriend must be in the same group. This eldest brother Geng and his family of three cannot be separated. The two sisters are classmates and both are girls. It is inconvenient to separate one and the other is unaccompanied, so they cannot be separated. ?"

Zhou Bin and the family of three nodded.

Mu Yiran glanced at Ke Xun blankly, thinking that this guy was going to be a demon.

After hearing this, the guy continued: "This makes it easy to divide up. Twelve people are divided into four groups, with three people in each group. Those who are accompanied cannot be separated. Those who are alone need to be put into a group with partners.

"Based on the companions, they are divided into four groups, namely Zhou Bin's young couple, Geng's family of three, two sisters, me and Weidong, Geng's family of three are in one group, and the remaining three people are divided into the other three. group.

"The two girls are both girls, and they are the weakest group. They need a mature, reliable man with emergency skills to **** him. This man is none other than Doctor Qin. In case the two girls have a headache, brain fever, or something, Dr. Qin can provide treatment in time.

"Ma Zhenhua went to Zhou Bin's group of young couples. There is a difference in age. It is much more convenient than the same age as me, Weidong and Brother Xiaomu, mixing with your young couple.

"That's why the group is divided, do you have any comments?"

Mu Yiran: "..." I knew it was so.
