Paintings of Terror

Four negatives with different content, four different styles of fear.

The first picture: Lu Heng was filmed at the corpse disposal site on the second floor. The crowd and the corpse disappeared. Only the figure of a strange woman was photographed, walking much slower than ordinary people. The second picture: Mai Peng was filmed in the room where everyone lived. Everyone disappeared into the lens, except for a beast with glowing eyes that was invisible to the naked eye by the window; the third picture: another photo taken by Mai Peng at the same time and place, but a large group of unknown identity People gather here to eat, one of them is slightly weird holding a giant; the fourth picture: Mai Peng photographed in the dark corridor at the crack of the door, there is a dark shadow approaching the door, and the dark shadow carries a beast with glowing eyes class.

Because the content of the photo was so bizarre, everyone couldn't even find a small fulcrum for discussion, and there was silence at this time.

This kind of fear is not so much born from the heart, it is more appropriate to say that it is a pincer between inside and outside. Something invisible seems to be covering everyone's pores, and maybe even overlaps with someone in the house.

The inner and outer horrors torment everyone's skin and nerves, as if they can twist people into debris at any time-and that debris also seems to be cold iron debris, where the terrifying magnet appears, these debris It will immediately sharpen up and be restrained and played in a daze.

I don't know how long the time has passed, Du Lingyu said quietly: "Did we light incense in our house? I just faintly smelled the smell of incense."

"I ordered it," Mu Yiran said. "If the delay is too long, everyone's biological clock will deviate. In order to find out the time here, we need something to measure time."

"Is it incense?" Du Lingyu asked.

"Yes, there is a long and thin incense in our goods. It smells very light and is very resistant to burning. I lit it for a while after lunch and it has not burned out yet." Mu Yiran's voice could not be heard. A trace of panic, still as calm as ever, this is somewhat reassuring.

Qin Ci's voice also sounded: "I have checked the efficacy of the incense, and said it is refreshing, safe and non-toxic."

Hearing this, Du Lingyu even gave birth to an infinitely pessimistic thought: If everyone went to sleep and was poisoned by the smell of chronic poison in their sleep, it would be fine, and there would be no need to suffer this sin.

Someone yawned, and quickly seemed to respond, and many people couldn't help but yawn.

"Some people are already sleepy, but I think it's five o'clock in the afternoon," Qin Ci said.

Lu Heng: "Cao Youning has fallen asleep."

"Why didn't we eat dinner and didn't feel hungry?" Luo Ling leaned against the bed, and Xin Chun was lying beside him, his eyes no longer as bright as when the light was just turned off.

"If you are sleepy, get ready to fall asleep." Mu Yiran stood up, illuminated the light with his mobile phone, and went to the corner next to the cabinet, "This incense will burn out immediately."

Shao Ling: "After lunch, it was around one noon, and now it is around five o'clock. The burning time of a piece of incense at this distance is about four hours."

Mu Yiran lit a second incense stick, this time five times the length of the previous one, 20 hours, this time plus the burning time of the previous incense, exactly 24 hours.

"I still don't understand why the lights will be extinguished one by one in order when the lights are turned off. It is more orderly than the sound-controlled lights," Luo Ling said, "Does this light brigade really have any magical power."

"I think it's because of the lamp oil," Zhu Haowen didn't seem to be drowsy. "When the lamp oil runs out, the lamp will go out. The person who lights the lamp has mastered the amount of lamp oil in each lamp, so that these lamps can gradually go out."

"Oh~ It makes sense," Luo Ling suddenly realized, "It's not so scary to say so."

"I always feel that the things here are not as ridiculous as I imagined. We have experienced so many paintings, and each one has its own horror. But once we figure out the reasons behind it, there is nothing terrifying." Zhu Haowen said.

"Yes, it's actually not that scary. Don't scare yourself." Luo Ling hugged his dog and lay down on the Chase shop, looking for a place and clothes. Although his body was cold from fright, he still maintained his tone of love. Randomly: "You should eat, sleep, and you have to get enough energy to find an autograph!"

Although Luo Wei encouraged himself to say these words, they still played a little role in the crowd, and many people were lying on the bed ready to sleep.

Xi Shengnan said: "We don't want to sleep on the other side of the screen. I feel a little..."

Still a little scared.

"Everyone squeeze together, anyway, this Chase shop is big enough to accommodate the three of you." Lu Heng was speaking.

After a while, everyone was lying on the bed.

Maybe it's really contagious when dozing off. After about half an hour, most people fall asleep.

Xinchun also closed her eyes and went to sleep, taking away the only light in the room.

Mu Yiran was lying on the bed. Although there was heavy sleepiness, he still tried to make himself awake. Today's things are very complicated, but they are not without a trace. He just found a gap and used enough strength. Can pry the whole thing apart.

Mu Yiran was lying on the far side of the bed, and Ke Xun was by his side.

"Go to sleep." Mu Yiran turned over and put his hand on Ke Xun's body.

"Is it a mistake to open the door just now to take pictures?" Ke Xun said for a while.

Of those four photos, the fourth one that caused everyone's greatest panic was probably the mysterious figure blocking the door and trying to break in. Maybe that thing was sewn into the door.

Ke Xun’s proposal to open the door to shoot the corridor was made, but he was unable to pay for the panic caused by the incident.

"Are you afraid? The man standing at the door holding the dog." Mu Yiran said.

Although Ke Xun was wearing a cotton robe, he seemed to be able to feel the temperature of Mu Yiran's hands on his body. This temperature was very reliable. Ke Xun said, "The man holding the dog... after you describe it, it is completely gone. A sense of horror."

Ke Xun felt Mu Yiran's hand slowly moved up, staying at his ears, using his index finger to trace the shape of his ear helix slowly, Ke Xun felt a little itchy, shaking his head slightly, grabbed it and placed it on his ear. Hold his hand tightly and don't let it repeat.

"Maybe the man holding the dog will be a breakthrough." Mu Yiran said.

"You stared at that negative film for half an hour." Ke Xun said, in the situation just now, everyone did not want to take a second look after seeing the contents of the negative film clearly or from others. , Only Mu Yiran unrolled the film to the last half of the picture and watched it alone for a long time with his mobile phone illuminated.

Ke Xun: "A new discovery?"

"Ok."

"But this discovery is a bit outrageous and doesn't make sense?"

"Ok."

"Are you going to tell me, or just be so bored."

Mu Yiran resumed his lying position, with black eyes looking at the dark darkness in the room: "I still can't figure out the time issue in this world. It stands to reason that no matter how messy time is, it can't be messy. There must be potential. The rules are in it."

"Although the world has deliberately blurred the day and night, it still preserves the habit of turning on the lights and turning off the lights. It makes people wonder whether people here ignore time or value time." Ke Xun said.

"Those negatives must find a way to enlarge, there are many clues hidden in them." Mu Yiran felt the slight cold in the darkness, and at the same time cuddling with the most important person, he couldn't tell whether it was warm or cold for a while. I plan to build a simple projector and have found a suitable box. I only need a mobile phone with the best lighting effect and a magnifying glass."

"Simple projector?" In Ke Xun's mind, such things as projectors are not simple.

"Yes, it's completely manual, but it can be enlarged."

What kind of instrument Ke Xun thinks he can complete by hand is probably a local phone: "Big brother, you're pretty awesome. If you can't buy a magnifying glass in the toy store tomorrow, I will try my luck with the fat man. As for the brightest one. The mobile phone, I think it should be a carrot. Its screen is obviously brighter than other people's. It seems that the local gold mobile phone is quite extraordinary, especially the battery standby time is also quite lame."

"You are the local tyrant gold... This young master is a family of pure and noble royal blood!" Luo Er tried to distinguish his relationship with the local tyrant in his dream. Xinchun suddenly woke up, his eyes lit up, and again Gradually closing, snuggling in the arms of the owner, "Uuuuu..." fell asleep like a dream.

Ke Xun turned over and lay down facing Mu Yiran: "Are you really going to fall asleep? What clues are there in those films?"

Mu Yiran smiled silently: "The breakthrough I found is the last one, the ear of the man holding the dog."

"Human ears or dog ears?"

"Human ears."

"It's weird to think so, what happened to that man's ears?" Ke Xun and Mu Yiran seemed not afraid of anything together, and didn't care whether this mysterious man was actually lurking in the room to eavesdrop.

"I am familiar with the outline of that person's ears," Mu Yiran said.

"Ok?"

"The arc is gentle, and the earlobe forms a slightly sharp bend." Mu Yiran said slowly.

"Who told you to observe your ears so seriously? I tried to fight with him..." Ke Xun said and felt Mu's hand touching his ear helix, and his heart seemed to move: "Could it be... how could it be possible? I was clearly holding the door behind the door, and the camera wouldn’t be able to capture me even if it turned a corner."

"So I think it's time."

"You mean, the man in the last photo was me? Still holding the dog? Xinchun?"

"It's very possible. You did have a moment when you stood at the door holding Xinchun." Mu Yiran increased his tone. "I carefully observed the silhouette of the half figure, whether it was ears or head, including The shoulder and neck line, I can be sure, that is your figure."

Ke Xun felt that his hair was getting up and down again. He calmed down and recalled carefully: "We came back from a walk outside today and suddenly turned off the lights. Turnip grabbed our hands and Xinchun squatted on his shoulders. I was holding Xinchun, and I stopped at the door, because I was afraid that the people in the room would be frightened by Xinchun's eyes, so I covered his eyes before entering the door."
