Paintings of Terror

"Maybe it's the wind or the echo?" Wu You deliberately guessed in a less scary direction.

"Whatever it is, everyone should be vigilant at night." Ke Xun didn't even guess, and waved his hand. "Eat first. You can do it with strength."

Everyone ate some yak beef jerky and dry food to wrap their stomachs in their cars. It was only 7 o'clock in the evening, but the sky outside was as dark as late at night, the squally snowstorms were still endless, and sometimes the mountains and the sea were overwhelming. The snow waves of snow, sometimes tornado-like sweeping through countless huge sky pillars, sharp howls roaring from all directions, the entire valley is like a hundred thousand ghosts, raging crazily in front of everyone's eyes.

Hua Jiqiu suffered from a headache due to altitude sickness. After taking the medicine given by Qin, she put a thick blanket on her seat and fell asleep. Shao Ling drove the car for most of the day, and was a little tired. It didn't take long for him to lean on the back of the chair before he breathed evenly and fell asleep.

Luo Ling couldn't fall asleep. He leaned on the steering wheel to look at the phone. Although the phone had no signal, it did not hinder watching the video stored on the machine. Zhu Haowen glanced at it and found that he was watching the daily life of his and his girlfriend.

In the picture, the beautiful and lovely girls and the sunny and handsome boys are holding their beloved pet cats and dogs in their arms, talking, laughing and hugging together. The background is a room full of life, looking out through the bright windows of the room, yes A well-maintained small garden with verdant flowers and trees.

The thin golden sunlight sprinkled warmly in the room, on the soft bodies of cats and dogs, and in the carefree eyes of the young couple.

Zhu Haowen couldn’t guess how Luo Yu made the final farewell to his girlfriend. Maybe he was laughing and crying, maybe crying and laughing, maybe he just waved and said goodbye, telling the other party that she wanted to eat a bowl when she came back again. Egg fried rice made.

And which of these companions around him is not so?

"Turnip, rest early," Zhu Haowen looked away, not looking at his red nose, "You drove the car for a day to keep your spirits up. I'm on the night of the first shift."

Luo Ling rubbed his eyes and agreed. He was about to wrap himself in a blanket and rested. He pointed at the windy and snowy place in front of the car window, and his voice was frightened: "Brother Wener--that--who is that-- "

Zhu Haowen also saw it—in the turbulent wind and snow in front of the car, there were a dozen black shadows moving quickly toward the depths of the canyon!

In such a heavy snowstorm, it is impossible for normal people to move at all, but those dark shadows seem to be unimpeded. The ghosts are generally stiff to the upper body. There is no communication with each other, and there is no unnecessary movement, and they just move forward in silence. , Soon disappeared in the chaotic sand and snow storm.

"This--what is this--" Luo Ling opened his eyes in horror to look at Zhu Haowen, "Is it my hallucination? It's my hallucination!"

"It's not an illusion," Zhu Haowen picked up the gun and reached out to open the door, "You are guarding in the car, the door is locked, I will go to find their car and discuss it."

Hua Jiqiu and Shao Ling in the back seat were very deep asleep and motionless at the moment.

"Brother Wen'er--I'm afraid--" Luo Ling grabbed his sleeve.

Zhu Haowen handed him the Ipad that came with the car: "Watch a small movie, Ke Xun is it." Then he opened the door and went out.

Luo Wei: "..." No, I don't want to watch calcium tablets even if I am scared to death...

Zhu Haowen braved the wind and snow and walked to the side of Mu Yiran's car. Before he could reach out and knock on the window, the car door opened from the inside, a hand stretched out, and he quickly dragged him into the car.

"Have you seen it?" Zhu Haowen wiped the sand and snow off his face and looked at the few people who were still awake in the car.

"Seeing the **** trough, then it's a **** ghost!" Wei Dong was in shock and wrapped the blanket tightly around him.

Li Xiaochun widened his eyes and looked at Zhu Haowen: "Hao Wen'er, you are so bold, you dare to get out of the car like this!"

"What do you think?" Zhu Haowen asked Ke Xun and Mu Yiran.

"We want to follow up and see." Ke Xun said.

"What if that is a trap to lure us into a trap?" Zhu Haowen said.

Ke Xun smiled: "Wen'erzai, have you forgotten what we are here for? We now know that there are tigers in the mountains, and we have to go to Hushan. If we want to protect ourselves, why are we here? We came here originally. Just knowing that there is a trap, you have to jump in. If the shadows just now are bait, then they want to lead us to the painting again, or find the final answer, if it is to kill us on the way, that’s too It’s nonsense. We have entered so many paintings and we end up dying in this wilderness? What's the point?"

Zhu Haowen had nothing to say for a while.

He found that Ke Xun nowadays has become more and more unholdable.

A long time ago, I was still a silly white sweet. Just a few months later, I spoke with reason and evidence, acted with measures, thought organized, and my understanding and brains flew together. The domineering and coquettish spirit... No less than him.

"But those shadows have disappeared just now, is it too late for us to chase?" Li Xiaochun said.

"If it's a bait, there should be a second hand," Mu Yiran said, "If it's only this time, then there is no need for us to keep up."

Zhu Haowen nodded, and was not in a hurry to go back, so he sat in the back seat and stared quietly out of the car window with the four.

The gusts of wind continued to roll in from all directions. Several people needed to wipe off the moisture on the side windows. Outside the window, there was a wave of black and gray and a wave of white. The wind, snow, sand and grass mixed together, stirring the entire canyon. It's almost distorted.

The mountains in the distance are looming in this twisted wind screen and snow screen, sometimes looking far away, and sometimes suddenly squeezing in front of you. The original majestic and vigorous mountain silhouettes seem to be sharp and sharp, and the two sides of the canyon are doubled. The continuous mountain peaks are like the fangs of ghosts for a while, and this winding canyon is like a cold and sticky ghost tongue, which rolls everyone on the back of the tongue, and only needs to be gently sent down to bring these A tiny and fragile human being swallowed.

The violent wind outside the car window "whoops", like howling animals, and crying like ghosts, when sharp, it seems to be about to pierce the thick skin of the car, and when it swallows, it makes people overflow from the bones. Layer of chill.

It’s been a long time since I tortured everyone’s mind and body. Zhu Haowen was a little worried about Luo Er, and greeted a few people. He was about to return to the car, but he heard Ke Xun point to the car window and whispered. One sentence: "Come!"

Several people rushed together, and quickly looked in the direction he was pointing. Seeing the wind and snow, a group of black shadows once again moved quickly and silently toward the deeper part of the canyon.

"Sure enough!" Ke Xun squinted, "If we don't follow, these things will probably appear again and again."

"It looks like we must follow." Wei Dong said, clenching the gun in his hand.

"Did you find it?" Mu Yi said suddenly, with a slightly strange voice in his voice, "There were thirteen black shadows that appeared these two times."

Several people were shocked when they heard the words. After a while, Zhu Haowen also said strangely: "You mean, these shadows, it is very likely that they are... the former painters?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Dong and Li Xiaochun made a rush together.

"He, they are still alive?" Li Xiaochunrao was always bold, and at this time he felt a little bit out of reach in his heart.

"Uncertain," Mu Yi hesitated, "Even if the last batch of painters were alive, they are all at least 110 or 20 years old now. At such an age, walking in such a violent wind and snow is impossible. As smooth or even light as we saw earlier, I am more inclined that those shadows are a kind of reflection, maybe the reflection of a certain group of painters before, or maybe..."

He raised his eyes to look at the few people who looked at him eagerly, and vaguely heard the voice of someone swallowing saliva due to tension, so he gently spit out the remaining half of the sentence: "...is a reflection of ourselves."

Li Xiaochun let out a heavy gasp, Wei Dong shook his body in a daze, Zhu Haowen did not speak for a long time.

"Whatever it is," Ke Xun's calm and steady voice sounded, "Let's follow. Hao Wen'er, you go back to your car, wake up Mr. Shao, let him go to the girls' car, and group by day Take your place, and when the shadows appear next time, follow the stunned car. I will now use the tow rope to connect the three cars."

"I'll go with you." Wei Dong rubbed his face severely to cheer himself up.

"I'll go too." Li Xiaochun also recovered his guts.

Several people jumped out of the car, awakened everyone who slept, and then connected and changed cars, making nervous preparations.

When the line of thirteen black shadows appeared in the snowstorm again, the three cars started their engines tacitly at the same time, with Mu Yiran in front, Luo Ge in the center, and Shao Ling Hall behind, lined up, following the team. The dark shadow drove toward the depths of the canyon.

The speed of the black shadows is neither fast nor slow, but that is definitely not the speed that humans can walk out of. They always remain in front of the vehicle, but they cannot be seen clearly even with a telescope.

They walked silently, the wind could not blow, the snow could not shake, it was a state of indomitable progress, but they were filled with a deep silence and frustration.

Ke Xun put down the binoculars he had been holding in his hand and pulled his hair hard.

"What?" Mu Yiran didn't ignore him who was sitting next to him even though he drove the car intensively.

"You can't keep staring at them like this," Ke Xun's voice was a little dull. "If you stare for a long time, you will be filled with a particularly suppressed sense of despair. It's just... very uncomfortable, there is a kind of unspeakable pain and sorrow……"

Mu Yiran stretched out his arms, held his hand on the back of his neck, squeezed it lightly, and said, "Take a deep breath, don't look at them anymore, you won't be lost."

"Yeah." Ke Xun Yiyan took a few deep breaths, and Yue Cen handed over a thermos cup from the back row: "Ginseng Oolong tea can replenish vital energy and soothe the nerves. A few sips will be better."

"Thank you Sister Cen." Ke Xun took it and took a couple of sips, staring at his knees without looking up.

After driving like this for an unknown period of time, Ke Xun suddenly felt that the sound of the wind outside the car seemed to be much quieter, and then looked outside the car again, and saw that the squally wind had weakened into strong wind, the blizzard had reduced to fine snow, and the sand gradually increased. The sky dropped to the ground, but the dark shadows of the team were still looming and indistinct.

As they continued to move forward, the wind and snow became smaller and quieter, and until it returned to normal, the black shadows of the team disappeared completely into the canyon of the night, like a special effect.

Mu Yiran stopped the car and looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist. It was specially brought on for this operation. The electronic instruments on the car have all failed, and even the time and kilometers can no longer be displayed." We've probably reached the center of the canyon." He calculated the speed and time of the car mentally, and got a rough distance.

"Is this the destination they are trying to lead us to?" Wu You, who had been too scared to say anything, finally knocked his upper and lower teeth and said a complete sentence.

"It should be." Mu Yiran unfastened his seat belt and took the flashlight. "I will go down and take a look."

Ke Xun also opened the door of the car, and turned around and asked the two ladies: "Sister Cen, take the gun, and watch out."

"Good." Yue Cen held a gun in his hand.

Zhu Haowen, Shao Ling, and Qin Ci also got out of the car. The others stayed in the car to guard them. All three of them were armed with guns and flashlights, and joined Mu Yiran Ke Xun.

"Strange, it has been snowing for a long time, but what about the snow on the ground?" Qin Ci looked at the weeds and dry stones under his feet in a little surprise. Although there were some snow stains near and far away, the amount of snow in that period of time just touched the ground. There shouldn't be such a little trace on it.

"Maybe it was blown away by the wind." Zhu Haowen didn't care about the snow, "or it's all an illusion at all."

"Look at it." Ke Xun suddenly raised his chin at several people and pointed to the desolate and cold ground not far away.

Under the white light of the flashlight, a piece of high and low strange rocks stood up and down, and under the action of light and shadow, it showed a hideous appearance.

And around this strange rock, and even farther in and out, there are corpses and bones that appear to be animals. Some of these corpses seem to have just died recently, and some have different degrees of decay. Some of them have long since become incomplete bones, and some of them even have only ragged fur.

Several people raised their flashlights to illuminate in all directions, hitting the brightness of the light to the highest level, but what they saw was shocking. A sense of chill instantly rose from the soles of their feet and crawled all over the body.

The author has something to say:

Luo Wei: Brother Wen'er, I'm afraid!

Hao Wen: Let's watch a small movie, Ke Xun made it.
