Paintings of Terror

At this moment, Xiao Kai twitched abruptly, and fell forward as if his back was suddenly broken, and hit Tian Yang's chest with one head, and then he vomited a huge amount of black blood in his mouth. It was as thick as asphalt, surging from his mouth and nose continuously.

"——Xiao Kai!" Tian Yang yelled hoarsely, trying to help Xiao Kai up, but only to hold his arm, he was shocked to find that the black single clothes Xiao Kai was wearing had been soaked in blood for some time. , He looked down subconsciously, and saw that Xiao Kai's ankle-exposed trousers were dripping with blood.

"--What's wrong with him?--What's wrong with him?" Tian Yang hugged Xiao Kai, who was still convulsing violently, with blood in his hands, turned his head, and asked Xiang Qin Ci in pain and helplessness.

Qin Ci was still staring at Xiao Kai's dark blue face with frowned brows. The situation on this face was too weird. Its subcutaneous connective tissue seemed to have lost its adhesiveness and connection function, causing this face to look like It is hung on the skull, and between the skin of the face and the skull, it is filled with liquefied material—specifically, blood, and dissolved subcutaneous tissue.

At this time, Xiao Kai's eyes, nose, ears, and pores all over his body began to bleed outwards. He convulsed and fell on the sofa, his whole person has become a blood man.

Tian Yang still wanted to help him up, but Xiao Kai's whole body seemed to melt and turn into mud. Tian Yang lost his balance and sat on the sofa all of a sudden.

Without Tian Yang standing in front of Xiao Kai, everyone standing on the coffee table also saw Xiao Kai’s tragic situation at this moment. He Tang, Wu You, Gu Qingqing and Luo Ge were shocked by the situation for a while and screamed. Yiran suddenly yelled out: "Be careful, don't get blood sprayed on your bare skin!"

Everyone came back to their senses and hurriedly tried their best to protect their exposed skin, but Tian Yang had already lost his soul, carrying a body of blood, like a soulless body, sitting next to Xiao Kai and staring at him blankly. .

Xiao Kai, who was lying down on the sofa, suddenly convulsed violently, and his limbs involuntarily swung vigorously. A large amount of thick blood sprayed from the **** and splashed on the back of the sofa behind him. Tian Yang's body, even more On high doors, walls and roofs.

The blood was even mixed with scattered internal organs.

Several girls and Luo Ling were so frightened that they even changed their screams. He Tang even fainted on Shao Ling's back.

Even though the other men did not scream, they were shocked by the scene before them to the point of silence.

Xiao Kai's blood sprayed for a long time, and the entire sofa had been soaked in blood. When he finally stopped, the whole person was spread out on the sofa like a pool of melted blood.

The dirty blood pouring from under the door and the gap between the windows is still slowly accumulating, and it seems to stop pouring into it when the sky is light. The blood pool is only one or two centimeters away from the coffee table, and the coffee table Everyone had been soaked with sweat, and that was the result of being shocked, hot, and prostration.

In fact, everyone was numb all night due to their nerves being too tight, and they almost couldn't even recall how the night came, and even their body functions seemed to have stopped.

"Let's..." Ke Xun finally uttered the first voice, with a hoarse voice, "How do you leave here?"

Although the blood stopped gathering, it did not disappear. It was flooded between the coffee table and the sofa, and the door, and the window. If everyone wanted to leave the room, they had to get the thick black blood.

"Or... wait and see, will it flow out of the door?" Wei Dong also said with a dumb voice.

"That's too much time," Shao Ling's sweat-soaked hair hung down on his forehead, dripping sweat continuously, "We must seize all the time to find clues to the painting during the day. Can't afford to delay."

Xiao Kai's death was so tragic that no one wanted to be his turn next.

"Then, what should I do..." Wei Dong's legs trembled badly, "I can't stand anymore..."

He carried Fang Fei on his back all night, and even his physical strength was as good as Ke Xun, and he was already very tired. This time Wei Dong was able to perform at a super level.

"Let me down," Fang Fei said, "change me to carry you."

"...Feige, I know you are strong," Wei Dong said in a weak voice, "but I have to save face, brother..."

"Why do I wrap my legs in my clothes and run through the blood to open the door?" Ke Xun asked, "Man, take my clothes off and lend me a bit. I will go faster and I should not be soaked in blood."

"Impossible." Mu ran said, "Everyone is left with only the single clothes, no matter how the package is, it will be soaked, let alone you not only have to go, but also push the sofa open and open the door."

"So, we really have to wait for the blood to flow out slowly before we can move?" Luo Wei also said weakly.

"I doubt very much that when the blood dries, it may happen to be dark again." Zhu Haowen said.

Everyone was still discussing a solution, but suddenly there was movement on the sofa.

Tian Yang kept the posture of sitting on the sofa and didn't move all night. Only then did he slowly stand up and stepped off the sofa.

"Don't go down!" Ke Xun shouted.

Tian Yang turned his head stiffly and looked at him. His face was splattered with terrifying black blood spots. His voice was hoarse and vain: "It's useless... Ke Er, it's useless..."

He stepped into the knee-deep blood pool under the sofa.

"--Hey! Don't go--" Several voices shouted eagerly, one after another, but they were unable to stop them.

Tian Yang waded blood, pushed the sofa away, and then opened the door.

The human skins and unknown objects that I saw last night were gone outside the door, and the blood in the room poured out like a gate opened, and it didn't take long to see the bottom.

Tian Yang went outside, took a few chairs from the dining room, placed them in sequence from the side of the coffee table to the door, and pushed the sofa in the middle hall to connect them, so that everyone on the coffee table could step on them and avoid contact. To the blood stains on the floor, to walk far outside the house.

"Tian Yang, there will be a way. You are waiting here. We will find the autograph right now and hold on!" Ke Xun looked at Tian Yang, who was lying on the ground with blood and mixed feelings for a while.

Tian Yang stared at his black blood-stained feet in despair, as if he didn't hear anything.

"What should I do now?" Wu You looked at a few people who could make up his mind.

"He Tang's complexion is very bad." Qin Ci probed the temperature of her forehead, and He Tang looked at him with wide eyes in horror, for fear of hearing something more terrifying than declaring terminal illness from his mouth.

"It may be due to lack of water and lack of sleep," Qin Ci said without changing his face. "Finding water and food is still one of the main tasks today. I think we acted first, given the situation last night, I think if we If you still cannot find a signature today, you must prepare in advance, find another house, and make one of the rooms a seamlessly accessible secret room, or an organ that can block the flow of blood. In the daytime, those things There should be no action, so the residential area is relatively safe. I think it is better to stay with the four girls, Fang Fei, you come and take them to find a suitable house and room, first clean up, and then seize the time to make up Can you make up for sleep?"

"No problem." Fang Fei responded, called Wu You, He Tang and Gu Qingqing, and walked towards the next house.

When the four girls walked away, Qin Ci turned around, lowered his voice and said to everyone: "He Tang's situation is not good, she has already started to have a low-grade fever."

Everyone was shocked, Luo Ling's eyes were red: "What should I do...Where is the signature, I have no clue until now, all the clues are too scattered, where are we going to find it?"

"Brother Qin, you take the carrot and Dongzi to find water," Ke Xun held Luo Er's shoulder and turned to Qin Ci. "The four of us are looking for signatures. We will come back here to meet at noon."

"Okay." Qin Ci did not delay, and led Luo Wei and Weidong towards the forest.

"You first discuss the clues, I'll go back." Ke Xun said to the remaining three people, then turned and ran to a nearby house, and soon ran out, holding some clothes and some towels in his hand.

"Wipe off the blood on your body and change into clean clothes." Ke Xun put the things next to Tian Yang, "Tian Yang, there is still time. You can't give up until the last minute. Think about your wife and children in your family."

Tian Yang, who was absent-minded, didn't come back to his senses until he heard the last four words. He raised his eyes to look at Ke Xun, and slowly stretched out his hand to take the towel and wiped it on his face.

Ke Xun walked back to Mu Yiran and looked at them, "How is it, do you have an idea?"

"Not at all." Zhu Haowen maintained his usual calm. "Climate, blood disasters, obscured years, disorderly vegetation, infrasound waves, what is the relationship between these and the theme of "restart", I can only figure this out. , We may find the way to find the signature."

"Although there are so many clues now, but it's over here, stagnant, unable to break through the bottleneck." Shao Ling finished speaking, looking at Mu Yiran.

This person is a little younger than him, but he has extensive knowledge, clear logic, meticulous thinking, calmness and reason, but he is much stronger than anyone here, even the self who has always been a little arrogant and confident. , Have had to admire him, even... a trace of dependence.

There is really a heaven outside, and there are people outside the world. Shao Ling sighed.

"We seem to have many clues, but it seems that the most important links are missing," Mu Yiran remained calm. "It's like we have a few PVC pipes, but they are not used to connect them together. As with pipe joints, it is impossible to form a complete interconnected line pipe group.

"The bottleneck mentioned by Shao Ling does exist now. We have thought of everything we can think of. If we still cannot find the'pipe joint' in this way, it can only be a reason-the'pipe joint' is right by our side. However, it was ignored by us.

"Then come to think about what we have overlooked. We have inspected every house here, and we have visited the forest. However, the forest area is vast and the places we can go are limited. There are no large areas. We have never checked the places we have visited. Even if we want to search the entire forest thoroughly, seven days is far from enough. If the signature is in the forest, places too far away are obviously meaningless, and places too close we have already walked. Nothing was found.

"So I think that even if the signature is in the forest, since we have not found the crucial'pipe joint' and haven't cracked the core meaning of this painting, even if this signature appears in front of our eyes, we cannot see or recognize it. Nothing, even if you touch it, it won't play any role at this time.

"And if the signature is in this residential area, it will also cause us to rub shoulders with the signature for the above reasons.

"Forest and residential area, two areas that seem to be completely independent and do not interfere with each other, since they belong to the main body of this painting, they must have an internal connection, which may complement each other or cause each other.

"Think about the content of this painting. The main body is a human hand. It doesn’t matter whether it is just a symbolic expression. Since the artist uses human hands to express the idea of ​​this painting, the nature of'human' is very important.

"Think about the death danger we experienced last night. Since the power behind the painting processes human skin and human blood into the conditions of death for us to die, it is not like the previous paintings, there are gods and ghosts, there are witches, There are spirits, this time the executor of death is "human", which once again shows the importance of the element of "human" in this painting.

"Then I think that in the two juxtaposed bodies of the forest and the residential area, the residential area filled with'human' elements may be the key to solving the puzzle. Whether the signature is in the forest or in the residential area, the key is The clue must be in the residential area.

"For all the houses in the residential area, we checked the inside, outside, open space, food, and some items that may seem to hide clues, but nothing was found. This shows that we must have left something unchecked or checked. There is no value.

"So I think what we need to do next is to check every room here again, focusing on the things that seem unimportant and easy to overlook."
