After being tortured all night, none of the emaciated artists had the heart to eat breakfast to fill their stomachs.
Because in the morning everyone was exchanging the most disgusting things about each other.
For example, the scorpion with countless legs, the plump and juicy soft-bodied multi-legged worm, the nightmare toad of the intensive phobia, and so on.
In the end, everyone decided not to talk about the details, but only talked about the process in general, and the process was basically after being attacked by the most disgusting thing in the dark, and hearing everyone's screams and footsteps rushing out of the room.
"Then I want to ask," Shao Ling looked at the crowd, "Who cried out last night?"
Wei Dong and Luo Meng slowly raised their hands with frustration on their faces.
Shao Ling looked at the three girls with a little surprise. Chen Xinai had been in a daze, and did not hear Shao Ling's question just now, Fang Fei said, "Don't be surprised, we have been practicing diving all year round, and we are used to encountering them. Don't open your mouth when you are panicked, or you will choke."
Yu Long nodded beside him.
Xue Ge, whose hallucination is a pot-bellied moth, said: "The reason why I disgust moths is because I watched a disaster horror movie when I was a child, and the moths in it flew into the mouths of human beings to lay eggs, causing me indelible scars. Psychological shadow, so once I meet a moth in reality, my first reaction is to keep my mouth firmly shut."
"Then, what did you both shout?" Shao Ling's eyes fell on Wei Dong and Luo Ye again.
Wei Dong thought for a while hesitantly: "It's just... 'Ah, ah, shit, ah, ah, ah', like that."
Everyone: "… "
Luo Meng also thought about it: "I can't remember, I was scared to pee at the time, but usually I like to shout 'No, no, ah, ah, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, ah' these."
Everyone: "… "
Wei Dong: "Seek for the source of the film and seek for the seed."
"But in last night's vision, what I heard was almost everyone's shouts, and I believe you are the same," Shao Ling said. "So, has anyone really tried to run out of the room?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Luo Ye said, "I was so scared that my legs were weak, and I didn't have the strength if I had the heart, so I was paralyzed on the floor."
Wei Dong: "Although I wanted to run after everyone when I heard the sound of everyone running out, I thought again, even if Ke Er and the others really ran away, they would never leave me, and Ke Er would definitely scream. The last time, he asked me to run, but I didn't hear him call me, so I felt that no matter whether others ran or not, Ke'er definitely didn't run, so I forced myself not to run."
Zhu Haowen: "I didn't run."
Qin Ci: "I didn't run."
Xue Ge: "I'm more afraid of the feeling of stepping on the moth's belly than the moth falling on my body, so I didn't dare to run, and I stayed in place and didn't move."
Yu Long: "I heard that toads can only see moving things, so I didn't dare to move because I was afraid it would stick to my feet..."
Fang Fei: "I was afraid of the touch of stepping on a big meat worm, so I didn't dare to run."
Chen Xinai continued to lose her mind and ignored the crowd.
Ke Xun: "No matter how disgusting it is, it's just an illusion, so I definitely won't run away."
Mu Yiran: "So we can be sure that whether it's the shouts we hear from each other or the sound of everyone running out of the room, they're all illusions, and they're a means to mislead us into making wrong choices. After the darkness descended into the room, we should have been separated by illusions and entered some kind of parallel space, just like the night before."
Shao Ling wrote on the bamboo slip: "Fourth, the illusion can simulate the tactile and realistic human voices and scenes, and use psychological hints and spiritual effects to make people fall into the sea."
The first three are:
1. Being isolated and entering a parallel space.
Second, hallucinations appear, they are their acquaintances.
3. Deceived by acquaintances, tempting to fall into the sea, and the ability to read memory.
After writing, he put down his pen, and Shao Ling pondered on the bamboo slip for a while, then raised his eyes to look at the crowd: "Based on the experience of these two nights, I have a guess.
"On the first night, the illusion made the voices of people we knew, and although the illusion wanted to lure us into the sea, it didn't force us through touch, no matter how unwilling we were to be fooled.
"On the second night, the illusion also used the method of deception to let us fall into the sea, and also created sound as an auxiliary means, but, on the basis of the sound, the illusion created a sense of touch, which became the first two auxiliary means.
"So, my guess is that the illusion is based on the human five senses, and it is superimposed every night.
"The first night was a single auditory hallucination, and the second night was a combination of auditory and tactile hallucinations.
"If there is no problem with my speculation, then in the next few nights, it is likely that the illusion of smell, vision and taste will continue to appear, and we can also prepare in advance to deal with the possible illusion scam. I don’t know if you have any additions, or different opinions?”
His eyes fell on Mu Yiran, but he saw that he was just drooping his eyes and pondering. He was about to wait for him to speak when he heard Yu Long say: "No, you are right, that's the way it is. Since we have seen through the illusion's routine, let's I hurriedly figured out how to deal with it, earplugs, life jackets, and tying myself up with ropes, all of which didn’t work.”
After everyone came up from the lower cabin, they had searched on the sea, but they did not find Liu Yanlei's body, nor did the lower cabin.
After looking at the drowsy people who had not closed their eyes for almost two days and two nights, Shao Ling said, "Let's rest for a few hours first. Poor spirits will lead to unstable mental states, and it is easier to be controlled by illusions."
Everyone has no objection, dragging their tired and tired bodies to find their own rooms to rest.
Ke Xun closed the door, and collapsed on the mat with Mu Yi in his arms, his hairy head rubbed against his arms, and yawned: "Mental and psychological attacks are more difficult to deal with than physical and intuitive attacks, "Pure Land" I stayed up for a few days without getting much sleep, and I couldn’t stand this painting for two nights.”
Mu Yiran put his hand on the back of his head and rubbed it: "Go to sleep, I don't think this ship needs to be searched any more. There is nothing to do during the day, and the key to breaking the game can only be at night."
Ke Xun put his arms around his waist, put one leg on his leg, and patted him lightly with his hand: "You are sleeping too, sane, let go of all the problems first, keep your spirits up and then talk about other things, otherwise I will feel bad. ,Um?"
"Okay." Mu Yiran slightly hooked the corners of his lips, stretched out his arms and put his dog's head in his arms, and slapped it for a while until he heard the dog's breathing gradually stabilized. He stopped, looked down at his face for a while, and then closed his eyes.
The warm and soft touch on his lips made Mu Yiran wake up from his light sleep, but he didn't open his eyes immediately. He stretched out his hand to cover the back of his head, which was close to the slightest inch, pressed the person to him, deepened a kiss, and then separated. .
"I'm ready for lunch, let's get up and eat." Ke Xun handed him a glass of water in his hand.
Mu Yiran took it and took a few sips, then took the cup and went out with Ke Xun.
The others also looked like they had just woken up. After lunch, they regained their energy and sat around in the atrium to discuss the response plan for tonight.
"First of all, I don't think we need to hide under the deck anymore. Last night's experience confirmed that no matter where we are, the illusion will affect us the same." Shao Ling continued to act as the "host" of the entire team. role," followed by the issue of burning rhinoceros.
"Because the rhino horn was ignited with a mobile phone last night, it is temporarily impossible to prove whether whoever ignites the rhino horn will die. Rhino, see that so-called behind-the-scenes power—probably only visible to the person who ignited the horn.
"So this time, we no longer use the mobile phone to burn the rhinoceros, but someone has to burn the rhinoceros horn by hand. This is an inevitable problem. We have to decide who will burn the rhinoceros. This is likely to find the seal and leave the painting. The only way is to decide now."
After saying this, Yu Long frowned and said: "How to decide? Lottery or vote? Why? Why should my life and death be decided by others? I don't want to burn the rhino. Absolute autonomy, I do not accept any coercion or moral kidnapping. Fang Fei and I have already gone to sea to check the bottom of the boat. No one knows whether we will die if we go to sea. Under this premise, we are equivalent to risking death. , we have done our best, and now I will tell you clearly, Fang Fei and I, no one will light the rhino horn!"
"Okay." Shao Ling agreed with him very happily, looking at other people, "I just said, firstly, the rules of death selection in the painting are not based on the act of igniting rhino horns, so A little bit of a rhinoceros horn, there is a possibility of death;
"Secondly, according to several old members, the time limit given to us in the painting is only seven days. Even if some of us are lucky enough to survive the first six days, they will die if they can't find the seal;
"Thirdly, if you don't point rhino horns, there will definitely be no clues, and you will definitely die; if you point rhino horns, there will definitely be clues, and half of them may die.
"So, should we find someone to light the rhino horn? Let's raise our hands to vote. Do you have any objections?"
"No objection, I agree to ignite the rhino horn." Ke Xun was the first to express his stance.
Then everyone followed suit. Except for Yu Long and Chen Xinai who didn't speak, everyone agreed to light the rhino horns.
"Since everyone agrees to light the rhino horns, then I suggest drawing lots to select the person responsible for lighting the rhino horns. You shouldn't object, right?" Shao Ling looked at the crowd.
"The two of us are not involved." Yu Long reiterated.
"Don't be so troublesome," Xue Ge said suddenly, with a faint smile on his face, "I volunteered to order the rhino horns."
"I'll go," Ke Xun said. "There's no reason for a girl to take such a risk."
Xue Ge smiled: "Can you look down on women as gays? In the face of life and death, everyone is equal."
Ke Xun: "The hat you pressed is too big. Since you said that everyone is equal, let's draw lots. No one should let anyone else, okay?"
Xue Ge thought for a while: "Okay, let's smoke, but I have a request, let me be the first to smoke."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Xue Ge personally found a roll of blank bamboo slips and took out nine bamboo slips. Yu Long, who did not participate in the lottery, marked one of them, and then put the marked end on top of it. Into the cup, by everyone in turn to draw.
Sheg was the first to draw, looked carefully at the end of the stick that was exposed, and then chose one of them.
Ke Xun took the second draw and looked at the remaining tickets carefully for a long time. He seemed a little hesitant, and finally had to draw one at random.
The rest of the people also drew in turn, and everyone showed their tickets together.
But it was Xue Ge who won the lottery.
Ke Xun scratched his head: "My intuition seems to be out of order today."
Xue Ge smiled: "Of course I can't compare my intuition with the ability of a real knife and a real gun. The reason why I was able to pick the lottery is that in your eyes, the bamboo pieces that may be too similar in color to distinguish, in my eyes they are The color difference is clear—I remember the color of the marker. Don't forget I'm a painter, and a pretty good one."
"...Okay, master painter, then you order it." Ke Xun knew that he couldn't persuade a person who had already made up his mind to die, so he stopped being hypocritical with her, "Anyway, people will be found by illusions everywhere, and then you can order rhino horns. , we'll be there to help you out."
"No need," Xue Ge smiled, "If the person caught by the light of the rhino horn will die, you will be implicated if you are too close to me, you will stay in the atrium, and I will go to the deck."
"Just in case—please forgive my rudeness," Shao Ling said to Xue Ge, "You'd better hold a bamboo slip and a pen in your hand. If you see something, I hope you can record it as much as possible, even if it is brief, even if only A few key words, and then... Please don't put the bamboo slips on your body."
The meaning of this is to prevent Xue Ge from becoming the one chosen by death, and taking the bamboo slips with him when he falls into the sea.
Although the words are a bit ruthless, they are also the most rational and useful arrangements.
Xue Ge agreed, looked at the people who looked at her with different expressions, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "My life is already short, if I can save a few lives before I die, I will die well enough. In fact, there is nothing wrong with personal heroism movies, isn't it cool to be your own hero in your own world?"
