"Men and women, young and old." Mu Yi said in a low voice, "It's the same as those above, just standing still without any hints."
Zhu Haowen stopped speaking.
"But this may prove that what this research institute is studying is related to people." Ke Xun remembered that before entering the entrance of the research institute, he saw a phantom figure in the window that seemed to shout, "Don't come in." ”, like the other figures in the building seen through the camera.
"If the research is on people," Zhu Haowen said, "the instruments and equipment in laboratory A and laboratory B seem to be too few, especially laboratory B, and I have paid special attention to it, there is no blood or blood in the laboratory. Remains of things like internal and external tissue, except, of course, what appears to be written in blood on the wall."
Speaking of bloodstains and human tissues, Wei Dong couldn't help shuddering: "So, labs C and D have equipment and equipment, so what kind of abnormal human experiment is going on? A new guy like this…”
"Hopefully not." Zhu Haowen said.
"What is the author's purpose for drawing this picture?" Ke Xun said, "a dark style of painting? It's like some dark comics, with the gimmicks of hunting blood and violence to attract people."
"If that's the case," Zhu Haowen said, "then this painting obviously won't have any purpose."
"So for paintings without a subject, where would the artist sign their signature?" Wei Dong scratched his head. "Usually, it will be in the lower left corner, lower right corner of the painting, or in the blank space next to the central scene or character."
"The lower left corner, the lower right corner, isn't that equivalent to the location of the basement." Ke Xun said.
"Talking about it for a long time is equivalent to not saying anything," Wei Dong muttered. "There are two labs in the lower left corner and the lower right corner. I didn't rule out any of the four labs."
"And it's all just guesswork," Ke Xun said, "We don't know the meaning that this painting wants to express. We also guessed whether the signature is in the lower left and right corners. I think this is similar to some of the previous paintings. Like painting, only after the first night can you get more clues."
Thinking of the unknown horror that is about to come, a few people didn't make a sound for a while.
The passage of time seemed both fast and slow in the darkness, and after an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the silence.
It was the sound of the soles of the leather shoes stepping on the concrete floor, causing an empty echo. It came from outside the experimental area, slowly descending from the stairs, and then walking along the corridor, walking towards this side in a leisurely manner.
The sound of the soles stepping on the ground was not just one, but one after another, several times quickly and slowly.
They came over, and then the sound of opening the door of the laboratory sounded one after another. With the sound of "squeaky" pushing the door and closing the door, the footsteps gradually decreased until the last few footsteps stopped at the laboratory in Area A, which is door to door. and outside the door of the laboratory in Zone B.
The four people sitting against the wall held their breath for a moment.
"People" from outside want to come in
After entering, will everyone die
This is a situation that has never been encountered in the previous paintings - listening to the footsteps just now, it seems that all the rooms have entered "people"!
"Painting" will never let those who enter the painting be destroyed in one fell swoop. As long as it is not the seventh day, it will not kill everyone overnight.
So what is the situation now
Ke Xun's left arm was tightly bound by Wei Dong next to him, and his strength was so strong that he was about to break a bone. Ke Xun didn't move. If this would give Wei Dong a sense of security.
Hearing the sound of the card punching machine at the door, Mu Yiran suddenly whispered, "No matter what happens, don't make a sound."
The other three didn't make a sound, but he knew that they had heard it, and he was staring in the direction of the door in the dark void, when he felt his hands suddenly warm and was held by Ke Xun's hand beside him.
Mu Yiran was about to break free, but heard the door of the laboratory being pushed open, two footsteps walked in, and closed the door of the laboratory again.
Mu Yiran didn't move any more, he could only let Ke Xun hold his hand, a steady stream of heat came from his palm, dry, warm, and full of strength.
Mu Yiran pursed his lips, raised his chin slightly in the darkness, and looked at some empty direction above.
After the few footsteps entered the door, the lights were not turned on, and they walked around in the dark, calm and generous, familiar with the road, as if they were carrying out their daily work, so that the four people by the wall created a sense of themselves. Blind, and the illusion that these "people" are actually in a sunny high-rise office.
The footsteps were still moving, and there were a few whispers in the middle. Ke Xun tried his best to listen carefully, but even though they were in the same room, he still couldn't hear a word at such a close distance.
Next, there were more sounds in the dark space. There were metal utensils rubbing against each other, the tiny fences of iron cages trembling and groaning, flipping through papers, and squeaking like small animals. Tweet.
It seems that in this darkness where there are no five fingers, a normal, experimental activity is unfolding.
The four people leaning against the wall were motionless, trying their best to keep their breathing as light as possible, and trying to identify the movement in the darkness and the behavior of "their".
Like this, maybe half an hour has passed, maybe an hour has passed, just at the moment when midnight fell, in the dark and empty experimental area, a baby's laughter suddenly sounded.
giggle.
Ke Xun noticed that Wei Dong shivered.
giggle.
Another sound.
The innocent and cheerful laughter of the little baby sounds creepy in this situation.
Ke Xun felt a chill rise from his tailbone, and Mao Cencen climbed up along his spine, as if a baby's small hand gently caressed his skin.
He thought that he might have shivered a bit, because Mu Yiran was forced to shake his hand, and it seemed that he used a little strength.
Ke Xun retracted his fingers and held him tighter.
Being born and dying side by side so many times, the fear has gradually become numb, and life and death have become more and more normal. Ke Xun sometimes even feels that the peaceful waiting when facing death together with the person next to him is more meaningful and harmonious. Worth the aftertaste.
The sound of footsteps walked towards the laughing baby, and the various sounds continued to sound, until a voice said something, and all the movement stopped.
This voice is a little dull and a little vague, so that it is clearly above the other voices, but still can't tell what it is saying, it is neither like a dialect nor a foreign language, if you have to give a definition, it is more like... Another world language.
Without waiting for the four people by the wall to analyze what language it was, they heard a sharp, piercing metal knocking sound in the darkness. It was scraping like crazy with a broken gong.
This harsh sound instantly filled the entire laboratory, piercing people's eardrums in all directions, shaking people's hearts and tumbling inside. There were no interruptions or gaps in the middle of the sound, and it continued to make noise. , people can't get a second of buffering, and the whole head seems to be about to burst into pieces.
Wei Dong was unbearable, let go of Ke Xun's arm, desperately covered his ears, the other three were actually doing the same thing, Zhu Haowen even covered his ears and put his head between his knees.
But to no avail.
Whether it is hands or knees, all the things that cover the ears seem to be non-existent, completely unable to stop the intrusion of a single sound. I almost want to go crazy with a ruptured blood vessel.
The blood vessels on Ke Xun's head were shaken and painful, and even a golden light flashed in front of him. He gave up covering his ears and tried to find Wei Dong, but Wei Dong had already rolled out of his reach.
Mu Yiran, who was beside him, noticed Ke Xun's movements, afraid that he would do something uncontrollable impulsively. He was about to hold him down, but suddenly he felt that his dry palms were covering his hands that were covering his ears.
Mu Yi was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he wanted to push him away, but he continued to move, got up and knelt in front of him, pushed his head and upper body into his arms, and used his entire embrace to hold him in place. Cover his ears tightly.
Mu Yiran never knew that Ke Xun had such great strength. He struggled, but he couldn't break free at all.
If you use all your strength, you may be able to break free, but I am afraid it will disturb those "things" in the dark.
Mu Yiran sighed inwardly and had no choice but to let him.
And that does, indeed, work.
Strangely, in such a noisy environment, he could still hear Ke Xun's heartbeat.
His head was pressed against his chest by Ke Xun, and he could still hear his heartbeat across the arms and arms.
Plop, plop.
Calm and powerful, calm and warm.
Thinking of the frizzy and ignorant him when he first entered the painting, he suddenly realized that this guy is better at adapting and growing faster than anyone else.
Just like the sunny boy in the photo in the closet, he grew up overnight into a person who needs to bear all the pains of the world alone, but is still accustomed to the corners of his lips, independent of the world with a playful and playful appearance. man.
The harsh metal cracking continued to tear the eardrums and brain nerves of the four people. This was a terrifying and extremely painful sound of torture. Wei Dong and Zhu Haowen were already curled up on the ground, trying their best to do everything they could. Fighting against the shattering voice with all my strength.
Mu Yi knew that it was very sad, but he was surprised that Ke Xun was covering his ears with nothing to cover his ears. His heartbeat was still at the same frequency, calm and powerful.
Mu Yi suddenly remembered that there are so few people in this world who will burst out with terrifying and huge potential in a critical situation. There is no way to cultivate this kind of potential, no way to achieve it through acquired training, and no way to reach it with an ordinary human body.
Therefore, such people are gifted with extraordinary talents, and they are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The strong resistance and endurance Ke Xun showed at this moment was beyond Mu Yiran's expectations.
This guy seems to get stronger every time he "paints", whether it's courage, mind, willpower, endurance, or his... thick skin.
Just when Wei Dong had reached the limit of what he could endure, and even started to utter a small moan, he heard a heart-piercing baby cry in the darkness. The tender voice and the undulating tones suddenly slowed down the harsh metal. The destructiveness of the nerves brought about by the sound, the four of them only felt that the whole body was slightly loosened, and they were finally one step away from the brink of madness and collapse.
The baby's cries and metallic noises intertwined for a while, and finally ended with the metallic sound first. Wei Dong and Zhu Haowen slumped to the ground, Mu Yi pushed Ke Xun, only to find that he suddenly lost all his strength. , the whole person fell softly towards the ground, Mu Yi subconsciously stretched out his arms, wrapped his arms around his waist, and took him into his arms.
