Paintings of Terror

The expressions of Wei Dong and Dong Dong changed at the same time, and Wei Dong wailed, "I don't want to go to that place..."

"I'll go." Ke Xun said, "First think about it, then you go to the caretaker's room, I go to the slaughterhouse and food processing room.

Mu Yiran finally glanced at him and said quietly: "We can only go when the wind is blowing during the day. There are no cows on the lawn at that time, and no cows will notice our movements outside, but the important question is that the cows It’s probably all in the administrator’s room. We need to take a big risk if we want to get in."

"So what do you mean?" Qin Ci asked.

"Bring out the cow from the caretaker room." Mu Yiran said, "I will do this."

In view of the tight time, Mu Ran still divided the work for tomorrow's action.

Qin Ci and Dong Dong are in charge of searching in the administrator's room, Ke Xun and Weidong are in charge of the slaughter room, and Mu Yiran and Zhu Haowen are in charge of the food processing room.

After discussing a plan for tomorrow, everyone stayed in a corner and stopped talking.

Before tomorrow comes, we must first go through tonight's death selection. Maybe after tonight, tomorrow's three groups of people will lose one or even a few companions, and the plan will never keep up with the changes.

A few people in the painting ate and drank enough, staying in the corner of the cubicle honestly, no one dared to come forward to find faults for the people outside the painting like the few stupefied yesterday, only Mo Su used it from time to time Yin Ku looked at Mu Yi Ran, as if seeking to counter usurpation at all times.

Mu Yi didn't look at him at all, and only closed his eyes to rest his mind, but Ke Xun stood in the corner, looking up.

These compartments, to put it bluntly, are like pigsty in a pig farm. The pigs are enclosed in grids one by one, surrounded on all sides with an exposed roof, for pigmen to feed food from above.

This "circle of people" is also surrounded on four sides, with brick walls on two sides and the back wall of the entire farmhouse on one side, up to the roof, with windows embedded in the walls and iron fences embedded in the windows. There is also an iron fence door. The upper part of the door is also a brick wall, which is flush with the brick walls on both sides. On the lower part of the iron fence, there is a wide door that can be opened and closed for people to enter and exit.

Ke Xun observed for a while, walked to Mu Yiran's side, and lowered his voice: "I think this painting is not the same as the previous ones. The first few paintings involve gods, ghosts, and ghosts. 'Or inhuman power, so we can't move around at night. There are always various situations that restrict our actions. For example, going out of the prescribed range will make people suffocate. This painting, I Feel different."

Mu Yiran lowered his eyes, thinking while listening to him.

"The absolute dominance in this painting is animals. In other words, they are the humans in this world. Since they are humans, they choose us for death. Does that mean , They are already the kind of absolute power with the right to choose in this painting? Above them, will there be no higher power to dominate our destiny?"

When Ke Xun's voice fell, Mu suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"If they are the'human' in this world, it means that they have only'human' power and no divine power, just like us in the real world. For animals, the advantages are only in size, strength, height difference and intelligence," Ke Xun continued, "But after all, this is a painting created by humans and cannot be absolutely replaced, so we still have human wisdom here, and we can still walk upright and free our hands. We are here, and the difference between them is limited to body shape. Height and strength, if there are no indescribable strengths, can it prove..."

Speaking of this, Ke Xun reached Mu Yiran's ear and whispered: "In this painting, as long as there are no restrictions on personal freedom, we can walk anywhere at night?"

Mu Yiran's long and slightly curled eyelashes flicked at the bottom of Ke Xun's eyes, and Ke Xun sat up straight and moved a few inches to the side.

Mu Yiran did not pay attention to his small movements, but moved his eyes to scan the compartment, and finally landed at the corner between the two walls.

"You can try." He responded.

Ke Xun smiled, scratched his nose with his fingertips, lowered his voice and added a few words: "Actually, I think the places mentioned just now that'seems to be impossible to go, but may be allowed to go', except for the administrator room, There is another slaughter room and food processing room."

Mu Yiran finally moved his gaze to his face.

The distance between the two of them was still a little close, so that when they looked at each other suddenly, everything on each other's faces appeared in each other's eyes.

The eyes met suddenly, Mu Yiran seemed to be unprepared, and turned his head quickly.

Ke Xun also turned to the beginning, took a deep breath silently, and then said, "Outside the farm. Maybe we can go outside the farm, as long as we find a way to get out."

"You are right." Mu Yiran said calmly.

Then the two stopped talking and sat side by side in silence.

Weird and fortunately, until the giant cows came to wash the compartments and left the farmhouse after cleaning up, no cows came to choose who to kill.

"What's the situation? Is Minger really going to vote?" Wei Dong leaned over in surprise and asked in a low voice.

Ke Xun also couldn't understand that all the surviving outsiders should vote together, but the male and female farmhouses are separated. Is there a special bridge to lock everyone together before voting?

Mu Yiran thought for a while, and asked Xiang Ke Xun, "Among the five women outside the painting, are there any older women?"

Ke Xun scratched his head: "I didn't take a closer look. With my back to them the whole time, you let me think about it."

Mu Yiran stopped talking and waited silently until Ke Xun spoke again: "Yes, I recalled their voices. One of them sounded like he was 40 or 50 years old."

Mu Yi paused, and said in a deep voice, "Then maybe it's not that the giant cows didn't make a death selection tonight, but they just didn't make a selection at the men's house."

"You mean...they chose a woman?" Wei Dong was a little scared and a little bit embarrassed.

"And it's probably the 40-50-year-old elder sister." Ke Xun understood what Mu Yiran meant. "Young women stayed to breed and breed, and older women have no value in raising them. No matter how you give birth, you can't wait until they are too old to chew the meat, so when they are 40 or 50 years old... butchering is already the limit they can wait."

Everyone was silent for a while.

After the silence, I had to say, I was a little more relaxed, at least knowing that I saved my life tonight.

It was midnight, and the whole farmhouse was quiet. Except for the snoring, I couldn’t hear anyone talking anymore. The painters in the same house had already fallen asleep, even Weidong Zhu Haowen. He started to close his eyes and dozed off, but Mu Yiran stood up silently at this moment.

Ke Xun, who was always watching him, also stood up, and asked him in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"

Mu Yiran also lowered his voice, and pointed to the corner between the two walls: "I have practiced rock climbing, and I want to try to climb from here and look outside."

"I'm with you." Ke Xun said without hesitation.

Mu Yiran glanced at him: "Don't be upset for a while, this wall is too high, and if you haven't practiced specifically, you are afraid of losing your hand, and afraid of losing your energy later, and falling down is not a joke."

Ke Xun smiled: "Don't underestimate me. When I was in school, I dared to be second in physical strength. No one dared to be the first. After graduation, I haven't stopped exercising until now. You don't have to worry about me with physical strength. , It depends on you, you are in front, I am behind, wherever you pick, I will pick anywhere, as long as you do not miss, I will not miss."

Mu Yiran didn't say more, he knew that Ke Xun would not compromise on this kind of thing, and he would not rest assured that he would risk it alone.

I took him to the corner and gave him a quick introduction to rock climbing skills in a low voice. Then he discovered that Ke Xun is indeed a sports student, and he really has an extraordinary talent for sports. These skills only After a little talk, he can immediately understand the connection, and even draw inferences.

After the explanation, he reminded him of a few precautions. Mu Yiran woke up Qin Ci who was bewildered, told him his plan in a low voice, and asked Qin Ci to help him keep an eye on it—mainly staring at the painters. , If someone wakes up and finds that he and Ke Xun are not in the compartment, if they shout and draw the giant cow over, the matter will be big.

Mu Yiran asked Qin Ci to act on the spot, but it was impossible, so he stunned him with a knife.

Qin Ci was speechless for a while.

Even if he is a doctor, he dare not do it easily. He is not as bold as Ke Xun, and he can kill people if he fails to cut. He is a doctor, saves people, not kills, but he He also understands the importance of this matter. If he doesn't let it go, it will be the outsiders who are dead, so he still agrees.

When Mu Yiran was about to start climbing, Ke Xun regretted it.

He has to watch him climb up to know where his hands and feet are.

But this look up and the scene in his eyes made his whole person messed up all of a sudden, what is so... it's just... ah...

At this time, Ke Xun sincerely admired Mu Yiran.

This person is really upright and unrestrained in any situation and in any situation, does not do unnecessary things, has no extra thoughts, adapts at any time, and has a firm heart.

Ke Xun silently sang the national anthem several times in his heart, and then climbed up with solemn expression.

Mu Yiran didn't climb very fast. In order to take care of Ke Xun's speed, he stopped from time to time and looked down to judge whether he was still capable of keeping up.

Obviously, Ke Xun was extremely reassuring in this respect. When he reached half of his height, Mu Yiran saw that his fingers between the bricks were still stable as before, and he couldn't help but relax and continue climbing.

It took them more than 20 minutes to finally climb the top of the high wall, standing on the top of the wall and looking out, the whole farmhouse was already in view, the tall and spacious houses, two rows of neat partitions, There are also huge brooms, tables and chairs placed in the corners of the house, which gives a strange feeling of being in the kingdom of giants.

The two looked closely at the moonlight outside the window, Ke Xun found the way first, and pointed to the wall near the roof-there was a vent, enough for a human figure to get out!
