The gloomy darkness quickly dissipated like billowing smoke, and the surrounding sky returned to normal, but it was still night, with a few sparse stars close to the top of the head, the sea was dark, and the salty air permeated from the depths under the sea. , it was refreshing - the illusion disappeared.
Ke Xun hurriedly turned his head to look at Mu Yiran, saw that he had also turned to look at him, raised his hand around the back of his neck, rubbed the tip of his hairy hair, and said solemnly. : "Beautifully done."
Ke Xun raised a big smile: "Of course, otherwise, how would you be worthy of such an excellent you."
Mu Yiran's eyes fell on his face and took a closer look, seeing that the distressingly hidden fragility and gloom were no longer visible in these black and white eyes, only then did he relax and drag him. Jin hugged him hard, then turned around to look for others.
The others were originally on the deck. When the illusion appeared, these people disappeared in the darkness, and now they reappeared in front of them as the illusion faded, and they all slumped on the ground, their faces full of fear.
"How are you?" Ke Xun asked as he walked over.
Qin Ci wiped away the cold sweat on his face, "... The illusion tonight is 'fear', which is probably the most terrifying thing I have ever seen in my life."
Ke Xun stretched out his hand to pull Wei Dong, who was still paralyzed on the deck, and asked Qin Ci by the way, "Oh? What is in your illusion?"
Before Qin Ci could answer, Ke Xun found that he had gone to grab Weidong's hand and got nothing.
Ke Xun was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to pull Weidong's arm again, only to find that his hand passed through his flesh as if it had reached into a wave of water, and could not hold him, Weidong's body was like water Surrounding him, waving beside his arm.
Ke Xun froze in place, but Wei Dong seemed to be unaware. He slumped on the deck, raised his head with all his might, and looked at Ke Xun. However, the focus of his eyes did not seem to be on Ke Xun's body, but as if he was wearing clothes. Through Ke Xun's body, he looked further afield.
"What happened to Ke Er and the others?" Ke Xun heard Wei Dong say that.
- Wei Dong can't see him!
"Dongzi?" Ke Xun called him tentatively.
Wei Dong didn't hear at all, and was trying his best to get up from the deck.
Ke Xun turned his head to look at Qin Ci next to him, and just now he was answering his words - "Brother Qin, can you hear me?"
"How is everyone?" Qin Ci turned to ask the others.
"Fortunately," Shao Ling's hair was also a little messy, "I once thought that I couldn't feel the so-called horror points in those horror movies at all. It seems that I was wrong. I didn't encounter it, and I really didn't know that I had it too. something to be afraid of."
"I have to thank my brother," Luo Meng touched the snot and tears on his face, "it was my brother's erotic joke that saved me. When that 'thing' grabbed my ankle last night, I just I remembered my brother pretending to be Sadako and grabbing my feet and telling me the joke about using his feet or something..."
Ke Xun frowned, it seems that Qin Ci's "answer" just now was not answering his question, but just talking to the person next to him.
These people, can't see him!
Ke Xun turned to look at Mu Yiran. Fortunately, he was still with him. He said he wanted to be with him, so now he is really still here.
"We seem to be in a different space from them." Ke Xun said, "Why? Isn't that pheasant already dead? Is there more than one?"
Mu Yi turned around: "I'll go check if it's still alive."
How could he still be alive after being pierced through the head by an arrow? However, the world created by this painting may not be inferred from common sense.
Ke Xun went over with him, and saw that the ghost, which was larger than the ordinary wild pheasant, was lying on the side of the boat. The arrow shot by Ke Xun was still stuck in its head, and the tip of the arrow was bloody and fleshy. The silk came out from the other side, and its long and narrow eyes that seemed to be smiling had long since been scattered, and the eyes floated to the upper eyelid, revealing the large pale eyeballs below.
Such eyes do not seem to be possessed by a normal bird. Of course, whether it is a bird or a demon, it is indeed dead at this moment.
Ke Xun probed into the sea, trying to find out if there was really a second strange thing, but the sea was dark, like a sea of oil, and it was impossible to see what was under the sea.
He was staring hard at the sea when he heard Wei Dong's heart-breaking cry from behind him: "Ke'er—you fucking come back to me—"
Ke Xun hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see Wei Dong pounce on the place where he and Mu Yiran had stood, sobbing bitterly.
The rhino horn was also burnt out with the death of the pheasant, leaving not even a trace of ashes.
They couldn't see him and Mu Yiran. They thought they were the same as Li Yi, Xue Ge, and Fang Fei.
Shao Ling and Qin Ci were silent, Luo Wei was crying beside Wei Dong, and Zhu Haowen stared at him blankly, standing still at the far end.
No one found that Ke Xun and Mu Yiran were still alive, standing beside them at this moment.
"So," Ke Xun retracted his gaze from Wei Dongpu's body, which was in agony, and looked at Mu Yiran, who was the only one who was still with him, "We are… dead?"
Mu Yiran pursed his lips and shook his head slightly after a long while: "No, we can't be sure yet, the night is not over yet, and we haven't been hurt in any way. Maybe there is still a chance, we still have time."
"That's right," Ke Xun quickly cheered up, "Hurry up! I'll think about it—is it possible that Li Yixuege and Fang Fei were the same as us before, even if they didn't get killed by the pheasants after lighting the rhinoceros horns, they would still be like us. Now, you can clearly see us, but you can't have any intersection?"
At that time, no one could have imagined that their companions were actually still alive, even by their side, but Tian Tian should not be called.
"But according to the rule that people must die every night in the painting, even if they were still alive at the time, they wouldn't live until dawn," Mu Yiran was more rational than the sentimental Ke Xun, "so you and I must, before the sky gets bright, Find a way out of this predicament."
"I'll go down to the sea and have a look!" Ke Xun said, "Maybe there is something under the sea that is the key to breaking the game."
"You can't go into the sea," Mu Yiran rejected him, "You can't go into the sea before the sun rises."
"But if we wait for dawn, we'll be done playing." Ke Xun said, "Did you hear the sound of the sea at that time? There are a lot of noises, all kinds of messes, and I don't think there is such a thing under the sea. A pheasant, maybe a lot of pheasants, or something else."
"If there are any, use rhino horns to lure them up. If you go into the sea in the dark like this, you will die nine times out of ten." Mu Yi said coldly.
The two had an argument for the first time.
But since Boyfriend A was full of anger, Ke Xun quickly confessed: "Okay, you're handsome, you have the final say. But we don't seem to be in that space anymore, I'm afraid there is no way to pick up the rhino horn."
"Try it first." Mu Yiran strode towards the atrium where the rhino horns were stored, and Ke Xun quickly followed.
He really couldn't bear to stay on the deck any longer. Wei Dong's cry made his chest hurt.
However, if Ke Xun's guess did not go away, the two of them couldn't pick up the rhino horn. Whenever they touched something tangible, their hands or limbs would penetrate directly through it as if they had passed through a liquid.
"This is simply the most realistic portrayal of the separation between Yin and Yang." Ke Xun shook his head, then reached out to stroke Mu Yiran's face, and found that it was as warm as ever.
"Yin and Yang are separated..." Mu Yiran held Ke Xun's hand, and his eyes flickered, "Your reminder is very timely - the burning rhinoceros is a bridge connecting the two worlds of Yin and Yang, the rhinoceros horn we borrowed the light tonight burned out, so we Being left in this space, maybe, if a rhinoceros horn is ignited, the two worlds can be reconnected and let us go back there."
"It makes sense," Ke Xun shook Mu Yiran's hand, as if to praise him, "but our problem now is how to ignite this unreachable rhino horn... or I'll try to blow up another phone. try?"
"Okay." Mu Yi nodded.
Ke Xun carried the mobile phone bag on his back, took one out of it, and threw it on the rhino horn first, but saw that the mobile phone also passed through the rhino horn as if it had been thrown into the water waves.
"So the things on our body are the same as us, and we are in another time and space now?" Ke Xun asked while using another mobile phone as a tool, and then wrapped his clothes around his hands to prevent injury, and put the battery of the mobile phone It was smashed and exploded, and the flames flashed. When it came into contact with the rhino horn, the rhino horn strangely turned into water waves, passing around the flame.
"No, we are completely isolated from that time and space," Ke Xun scratched his head and turned to look at Mu Yiran, "We... can't go back?"
Mu Yiran pursed his lips and stared at the rhino horns piled on the ground. Ke Xun did not disturb his thinking and walked to the side to stare at the dark sea.
Suddenly, he heard a short cry from Luo Meng from the deck, and hurriedly followed the sound, but saw Wei Dong fainted on the ground, and Qin Ci's hand was withdrawing from the back of his neck.
"..." Ke Xun walked over there. Although Qin Ci is a doctor, he has never done this kind of work. Now, I am afraid that Wei Dong is too sad, so he has to take action.
Luo Meng thought that Qin Ci was going to run away, so scared that he didn't dare to cry anymore, and looked back and forth between him and Wei Dong at a loss.
Qin Ci ignored him, but said calmly to Zhu Haowen and Shao Ling, "Now is not the time to be sad, we must immediately find a way to break the game."
Shao Ling frowned and fell into deep thought, but Zhu Haowen said nothing.
Qin Ci raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, with a warm voice: "Haowen, it is the best consolation for them that we can leave this painting safely. I know you feel bad, but..."
"No," Zhu Haowen suddenly interrupted him, his eyes fell on the night sky with a faint sky, "It's still a while before dawn, but in the past few nights, after the thick darkness faded, the sky soon dawned. Well, this is not right—something must have happened in the first half of the night, Ke Xun and Mu Yiran will never do anything before they can—"
Speaking of which, Zhu Haowen pursed his lips and walked towards the end of the deck. The sky was weak and the visibility was not high. Qin Ci knew that Zhu Haowen wanted to look for the clues left by Ke Xun and Mu Yiran, so he followed suit. Walk behind him.
Zhu Haowen turned on the phone, tried to turn on the lighting function, and found that it actually worked.
Ke Xun speculated that it was because of the killing of the pheasant that all the lighting equipment returned to function at night.
The bright light shone on the deck within a few meters in front of him. He walked forward slowly, staring at the deck carefully as he walked, as if he wanted to find all the last traces of Ke Xun in this world.
Then, under the light of his mobile phone, he saw a pheasant whose head was pierced by an arrow.
"They shot it to death!" Qin Ci exclaimed.
"They can see it!" Ke Xun's eyes lit up, and he turned to greet Mu Yiran, "Yanran, I have a solution!"
—This pheasant is the only thing that can be seen and touched by people in both dimensions!
