Paintings of Terror

Tian Yang pulled the corners of his mouth like a bitter smile and crying, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket: "You don't need to comfort me... I know, I can't get out..."

Ke Xun didn't answer his words, only said: "You can record it, Qin Ci and the others are back, I'll get some food." Then he walked away.

Qin Ci Weidong and Luo Meng came back with fresh water. They were still a few rabbits. Wei Dong said: "There are two big guys in the trap who don't know whether it is a deer or a deer. If you don't have enough time to deal with those two things, you just brought them. rabbit."

"Okay, you two will come and help." Ke Xun called Wei Dong and Luo Er. Fang Fei saw him next to him and also took the initiative to help.

Qin Ci walked to the side of He Tang who was still asleep, knelt down and reached out to probe her forehead, frowning.

Zhu Haowen followed and asked him in a low voice, "How is it, is it the same as Xiao Kai's situation?"

Qin Ci nodded slightly, with a trace of puzzlement on his face: "I can't figure out the reason. He Tang didn't have the black blood on her body. How did she get'selected'..."

"How do you think Xiao Kai was selected?" Zhu Haowen asked.

Qin Ci said: "I have been thinking about Xiao Kai's problem all day today. At first I thought he was suffering from malaria. Due to mosquito bites, the virus was transmitted through blood. This kind of disease will quickly develop and people's body temperature will rise sharply in a short time.

"But it turns out that it's not malaria, it may not even be a disease, but the method of death set in this painting. If this is the case, it is hard to say why Xiao Kai was selected. Similarly, Tian Yang and He Tang were selected. The reason may have nothing to do with those black blood.

"But I don't understand, it's a bit awkward to put it...you die, why do you have to let them have a fever before you die? Isn't this unnecessary?"

"Could it be because the three of them are relatively weak, and this time the death screening is based on the physical strength from low to high?" Zhu Haowen provided ideas.

"But I think Xiao Kai's physique is still good," Qin Ci said. "When I rubbed him with alcohol, I found that he should be a person who exercises regularly, like Xiao Ke."

Zhu Haowen was silent for a moment, and said: "If the death screening criteria are not based on physical fitness, then it may have something to do with the infrasound mentioned by Yi Ran."

"Maybe it is." Qin Ci was not sure either.

Zhu Haowen turned around and looked at Tian Yang. Seeing that he was talking lowly to the phone, he didn’t bother him in the past. Taking advantage of the darkness of the sky, he took the time to look at those with Mu Yiran and Shao Ling. Books found in the house.

Qin Ci called Wu You and Gu Qingqing over and said, "I want to find out the cause of He Tang's illness. I need to check her body. You may need your help. The key point is to see if there are any wounds or wounds on her body. It’s an unusual place."

Wu You and Gu Qingqing nodded quickly.

Qin Ci greeted everyone, picked He Tang on his back, and took the two to the house that had been prepared.

When Ke Xun took Weidong Luo Ling to roast the rabbit meat, the sky was already dark and everyone was about to move to the house, but Tian Yang was waking up from time to time at this time, too weak to stand.

Ke Xun made a stretcher out of bed sheets and branches, and together with Wei Dong carried Tian Yang. During this period, he carefully wrapped his hands with cloth to avoid contact with him.

Those books that hadn't had time to read were also moved into the room.

After entering the house, he locked the door, Ke Xun sealed the crack of the door with a raincoat, and then lit a simple oil lamp on the wall made of the cooking oil and combustibles that everyone found. The room was dimly lit for a while, barely able to. See things.

With the help of Wu You and Gu Qingqing, Qin Ci has done a full-body examination for He Tang, and said to everyone with a solemn expression: "He Tang also has a mosquito-bitten bag on her body. I think this is the main cause of her illness. The reason is the same as that of Xiao Kai. The mosquitoes should carry viruses that serve as a screening condition for death-everyone must pay attention!"

"Fuck... mosquitoes, it's impossible to guard against!" Luo Er quickly hugged himself and looked around.

"It really doesn't work. Put on raincoats now. Although the heat is a little hotter, it can prevent mosquito bites." Shao Ling said.

Everyone put on raincoats after hearing this. In such a hot weather, they were stuffed in an almost airtight room, and they also put on airtight raincoats. Within two minutes, everyone seemed to have just been caught from the water.

Tian Yang suddenly woke up at this moment, looked weakly at the people in the room, and said to Ke: "Keer...give me one too..."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Tian Yang smiled laboriously: "Or...you put me...outside the door...you can...or...just give me a raincoat...lest...lest I die Time... splashed blood on you..."

The mood of everyone was as heavy as their complexion, Ke Xun still handed a raincoat to Tian Yang: "Do you want to help?"

Tian Yang shook his head laboriously, struggling to sit up, put a raincoat on him, panted heavily after putting it on, leaned against the wall next to him, looked up at the dim light above his head, and tremblingly moved his hands to the pile beside Ke Xun. The book pointed to: "Take a few...Give it to me, I can still...can help to read...see..."

"You rest and have something to eat." Ke Xun handed him the rabbit meat, but Tian Yang still insisted on reading it, so Ke Xun took a copy to him.

He Tang was still in a coma. He woke up two or three times during this period. He either screamed pain, cried bitterly, or passed out again.

Fang Fei, Wu You and Gu Qingqing also helped her put on raincoats... although doing so seemed very ruthless.

Everyone forced themselves to eat meat to replenish their strength under this situation, while continuing to seize the time to look for clues, they desperately flipped through the books around them with a dim light.

Until Tian Yang began to vomit and twitch.

The scenes before Xiao Kai's death flashed through everyone's minds yesterday, and the black, sticky, pitch-like blood vomited by him was like a mass of nightmares.

Wu You's tears came out all of a sudden. I don't know if it's because of fear, pity for Tian Yang, or despair that hurts him.

She bit her lip desperately to prevent herself from crying, and hid behind Fang Fei, not wanting her emotions to affect everyone and... Tian Yang.

Gu Qingqing covered the upper half of her face with the hat of the raincoat and used the front of the raincoat to block the lower half of her face. Her whole body shrank in the raincoat and trembled depressively.

Luo Ling wiping tears silently, just like Wu You, hiding his emotions and hiding behind Ke Xun, he heard Tian Yang who finally stopped vomiting weakly calling here: "Ke Er... "

Ke Xun stepped forward, stopped not far from him, squatted down and looked at him: "Say, I'll listen."

Tian Yang struggled to sit against the wall, trembling hands took the thick A4 book that Ke Xun had just given him next to him. It was said to be a book, but it was actually a stack of papers neatly. Several large clips are clamped from the side for easy reading like a book.

The cover of the book was hand-added by the owner himself, kraft paper, with a string of foreign text written on it, and there is a parenthesis underneath it (XXXX——).

XXXX are four blurred numbers, followed by a space after the dash, all in handwriting.

"This is a bound volume of a thesis..." Tian Yang breathed laboriously, panting, retching a few times from time to time, still struggling to speak, "It should be the owner of this book...print it out by himself I was caught together, vomit-cough...Although all the places related to the date are blurred...but I am deeply impressed by several articles...

"I studied Hebrew in a small language in college... and all the papers in this book-vomit-are in Hebrew. As a reading aid for learning, I tried... …I have translated several articles...

"Oh-I just... I just watched it, and the content is exactly the same as what I've read. These papers...we borrowed from our foreign teacher back then, and the foreign teacher returned home from a vacation... His latest papers, in the years of university, he returned from abroad every year-vomit-vomit-cough-back, back, and he would bring some of the latest papers that were published in the past... and show us back .

"The order in which the papers... I have seen in this bound book are sandwiched in it, it seems... it is exactly in accordance with the time when the papers were published, from the first to the back, and... The last few pages of the paper were also translated by me...

"What I mean by this is, ahem-vomit-if... if the owner of this bound book... has been chronologically, constantly... constantly inserting new content back, then... As of the time of the last paper, isn't it... the year when these people had the accident?

"You...Look, in the brackets on the cover, it is obviously-vomit-yes... the start time to the end time of this paper, so... the time of the last paper should be the year of the accident Time, the dash... is left empty, indicating that... the process of adding a new-vomit-new-vomit-new paper to the bound volume is... is cut off in the ongoing process ...

"If this is the case, then I... Then I may... Maybe I can determine the exact time of their accident, I don't know... Cough cough cough cough... I don't know if it can be... helpful in finding a signature..."

"Of course there is," Ke Xun said with a deep tone, but said to him with great certainty, "tell me the age."

Tian Yang suddenly twitched violently. He opened his mouth and vomited out. Ke Xun squatted in front of him. At this moment, Ke Xun heard Mu sternly shouted, "Shan!"

Ke Xun’s reaction was never slow. At the moment Tian Yang twitched, he had already made the move of turning to the side to avoid it, almost in sync with Mu Yiran’s voice, and finally avoided Tian Yang’s mouth in time. The vomit.

Tian Yang vomited faintly, not to mention continuing to speak, there was no space for breathing. What I vomit was all the rabbit meat I had just eaten and the plant juice I had drunk. Among these undigested pieces of meat, the green juice of the plants was mixed with more and more black-red blood.

"Tian Yang! Hold on!" Wei Dong couldn't help shouting dumbly, "We will find the signature soon! As long as you leave the painting, all the damage in the painting will disappear-you must hold on! Sign! I will find it soon!"

Tian Yang shook his body that was unable to control himself because of vomiting, struggling, and raised his head slightly, two lines of dirty blood slid down from his eye sockets, like tears that hurt his heart and lungs because of nostalgia, blood in his nostrils. Flowing into the mouth with blood bubbles, and constantly vomiting out of the mouth, it is already a dark blood clot that is as thick as pitch: "...oh...oh..."

His face was like Xiao Kai last night, hanging loosely on his skull. He lost all the human expressions he once had, and in the last second of his remaining human existence in this world, he The only thing he could do was to use his two eyeballs that were overflowing with blood, which seemed to be violently protruding, and stared firmly at the person in front of him, the person he had been most familiar with.

He once was as timid as a coward and left this man behind and ran away alone.

But now, when he finally wanted to say goodbye to this man with a brave smile at the end of his life, he found that he had lost his expression.

The author has something to say:

Tian Yang:...Can you let me die after finishing talking...

Ke Xun: ——Can you let him die after finishing talking about the key points!

Everyone: ——Can he let him die after finishing talking about the key points!

Reader: ——Can you let him die after finishing the main points!

Author (not too smart Yazi): Don't worry... Don't worry... The key point will not be lost... Come later...
