Mu Yiran put his hand on Ke Xun's ankle and held it for a while, and said, "Let's consider one point first, if the first painting Qin Ci and I entered was the last painting entered by the previous group, Then maybe there's a way to check it out."
"What can I do?" Ke Xun asked hurriedly.
"Maybe Haowen's help is needed." Mu Yiran put down the teacup in his hand and called Zhu Haowen with his mobile phone.
"Can I hack into the monitoring system of the art museum?" Mu Yi asked straight to the point.
Ke Xun hurriedly sat up and put his ears close.
"Okay," Zhu Haowen on the opposite side was flat, as if he was answering the simple question of "Can you climb to the third floor in one breath".
"The Time Museum, the date is before March 13 this year, it can be pushed forward for about three months," Mu Yiran said, "I need all the surveillance footage in the museum during this period."
"The premise is that the art museum still retains the surveillance video from that time period. If there is, I will give it to you tomorrow morning at the latest." Zhu Haowen replied simply.
After hanging up the phone, Mu Yiran said to Ke Xun, "Maybe we can find some suspicious people from the surveillance video."
"It's your brain that turns fast." Ke Xun praised him.
"The results may not be too optimistic," Mu Yiran was very strict, "We can't determine the extent to which the behind-the-scenes power of the painting can be achieved. If it can even erase or change the surveillance video, then we want to do something about it. Breaking through is even more difficult.”
"Take a step and investigate a step, this road doesn't work, you can go another way." Ke Xun was extremely optimistic, "From the sixth point you just summarized, the power behind the painting not only wants to kill us, but also wants to kill us. To keep a ray of life for us, what is the purpose of it? Is it simply to test our ability to pass customs? What is the point? I think the power behind the painting can make the place where the art museum should not be built. Changing it into an art gallery means that it is a kind of power with the ability to think, so it sets up this kind of event into the painting, definitely not for no purpose just to test us, this kind of not only wants us to die, but also wants us to live The setting must have some meaning and purpose.”
Mu Yiran lowered his eyes and pondered: "You are right, then we have to analyze the meaning and purpose of this setting. In fact, the painting "Schrodinger's Cat" gave me some inspiration.
"Roughly speaking, this painting presents some of the critical views of the program on the current educational system in an ironic manner.
"For example, the customs clearance links of these similar exams are the same as the screening of students' pros and cons through exams in schools. Students who study well can stay in the top class, and those who fail the exam will be eliminated to the ordinary class or It's a poor class.
"If I hadn't gone through this painting, I might not have realized that maybe the force behind the scenes kept attracting new people, and it was also a kind of screening for those who entered the painting to go through the test.
"So, among the old members who stay now, not to mention you and me, for example, they are as meticulous as Qin Ci, rational as Haowen, profound as Shao Ling, fearless as Fang Fei, and Wei Dong and Luo Yao are the complete ones that they pay to their companions. Trust, the characteristics shown by these people in the painting are extremely rare advantages compared with all the people in the painting before and after.
"Newly joined Wu You and He Tang, since they have only experienced one painting, there may be a lot of luck in it, and it is difficult to define it for the time being, but if I have to say it, the characters of the two are relative. Stronger than girls of the same age.
"In the world of paintings, strong people may not live to the end, but weak people are more likely to die than strong people.
"From this point of view, it is not impossible to say that painting is screening stronger and more suitable people, so it seems to always try to find people with relevant professional qualities.
"And if its purpose is to gather thirteen strong people, then two problems arise. First, when recruiting new people, why do not all the new recruits have the corresponding professional qualities
"Secondly, what is the purpose of gathering these thirteen powerhouses? In order to break the game faster? Then why do we need to set up these paintings for us, so that we continue to risk death
"For the first question, I have a conjecture. I think that the power behind the scenes of painting may be far less omnipresent and powerful than we think. It is also beyond the reach of power, so it can only 'try' to find the right There are many candidates for the painting, and it is impossible to find a suitable candidate for painting 'all'.
"So the conclusion of the first question is: the behind-the-scenes power of painting is also limited.
"And the second question is probably the ultimate question we want to know: What is the power behind the scenes that brings us into the picture
"In fact, we don't get any benefit from entering the painting, or if we have to say something literary, what we get may just be more courage and boldness. Could this be the real purpose of painting? I don't think so, It is meaningless to exercise the courage of some people through bloody and brutal killing, and it must have a purpose.
"Then we can actually speculate according to the usual cognition. We first regard the behind-the-scenes power of the painting as a rich and substantial character, then this character selects several people who are in physical condition through a screening mechanism. , psychological quality, knowledge and mind are more excellent and outstanding people, these people can be used by him to do things?"
Having said this, Mu Yiran looked down at Ke Xun, Ke Xun rested on his lap, raised his face and stared at the tip of his nose for a while, and said, "If we follow the routine in the novel or movie, I feel like we people It's like a mercenary selected by a rich and powerful boss, and then he will hire us to complete some dangerous and difficult tasks for him, such as stealing treasures, killing people, in short, something related to this For things that are closely related to people’s interests, when we successfully complete the task, we may get a commission, but we may also be killed by this person.”
"This idea of yours is not impossible. In fact, I also have this suspicion," Mu Yiran nodded slightly, "I suspect that after we finally gather thirteen people, the whole situation of entering the painting will change, towards a new one. The development of the situation, but it is impossible to speculate now what kind of situation it will be."
Ke Xun felt a little frightened, and stretched out his hand to hold Mu Yiran's hand: "In this way, I feel that there will be more unpredictable things waiting for us in the future. We don't know what the fate of us will be. .However, when it comes to getting thirteen people together, does that mean that there is a picture and we will clear the game without damage?"
"I think so." Mu Yi nodded.
"Haha..." Ke Xun sighed, grabbing Mu Yiran's hand and putting it on his forehead, "This makes me wonder if I should wait for that day to come sooner or if it never comes."
"Earlier is better," Mu Yiran said, "come early, end early, no matter whether the ending is life or death, it is much better than endlessly struggling on the line of life and death."
"That's right." Ke Xun felt that this was a bit sad, jumped up and stretched, and said with a smile, "I'll go to the supermarket to buy meat, let's cook the pot at night, and bring Dongzi over to join in the fun, how about it?"
"Okay." Mu Yi nodded, "I sent the speculation just now to the group."
The next morning, Zhu Haowen really got three months of surveillance video from the Time Art Museum. The group members who entered the painting theory acted collectively. Each person was responsible for the video in one of the time periods. Are there any suspicious persons on the video
This is also a huge project that takes time. Wu You even resigned and stayed at home, checking the video on the computer every day.
It's just that time waits for no one, and the time to enter the painting will come soon.
After the last painting was drawn, Shao Ling, who was closer to L City, stopped by this Three-Line Poetry Art Museum, and found that he had been maliciously treated by the painting pusher again—the big sign at the door said: The museum is temporarily closed for renovation.
As for when it will open to the public, the sign does not say it, but the members of "Jinhua Lun" are very clear that the day when they enter the painting is the time when the gallery will reopen.
The Three Lines Art Museum is located in the local central park. Although the weather is cold, people who have taken their annual vacations are still willing to go to the park for nothing, especially young people. There are mostly young couples scattered around.
Luo Meng looked at these people for a while, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and walked to the side to call his girlfriend: "Beauty, what's the matter? ... Really, what color? ... Oh, yes, the cliff It goes with your little cherry mouth.... I, maybe I'll be back in a few days, you can play by yourself first... I bought you a bag, make sure you like it, if you don't like it, I will turn it off and give it to you as a figurine. …Okay, cover up the quilt at night, don’t show your feet. … Rub a handful of beanbags, diced beans, the dog’s head, the cat’s head, the mouse’s head for me, … Ah, okay, hang up the phone and send me a photo of the two of you. On the phone,… Okay, nothing else, mua!… Then, Yin Yin, take care of yourself.… Well, bye, mua.”
Everyone just pretended not to see his red eyes and nose, and walked straight towards the icy building in the distance.
The Sanxingshi Art Museum has a simple and simple shape, and the exterior walls are painted with the color and texture of rice paper. Above the front entrance, there is a three-line poem written in beautiful lines, from "Clouds" by the writer Han Shanshi:
wandering
bird
where is homing
In the renovated art museum, it is said that all the paintings on display in the museum have been replaced with new ones. Despite this, the entrants still have a deep understanding of the previous exhibition materials in the museum and have made sufficient preparations.
Compared to Luo Xue, who was gradually getting used to painting, Wu You and He Tang, who entered painting for the second time, were obviously still in the newcomer stage of rejection and fear. He Tang almost asked Fang Fei to help him enter the door.
"I'm too scared..." He Tang said in a trembling voice while wiping the tears that kept pouring out with a tissue.
"It's a knife to stretch your head, and it's a knife to shrink your head," Wei Dong took out a pack of chewing gum from his pocket and handed it to her, "chew a piece of gum, it can relieve tension. Fang Fei will also have a piece?"
Fang Fei took the chewing gum, smoked one for herself and He Tang, and then returned it to Wei Dong.
"Let's go in when we're ready." Ke Xun's voice came from the door of the target exhibition hall.
"Let's go." He Tang chewed the sweet and minty candy in his mouth twice, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
