The young man named Xiao Kai was more outgoing, and seemed to be unable to bear such silence, so he dragged Tian Yang aside and asked him in a low voice, "Do you know those two people?"
Tian Yang nodded slightly.
"Have you had a holiday with them?" Xiao Kai had already seen that the expressions of these three were not quite right.
Tian Yang pursed his lips, looked up at him, and said in a low voice, "Don't ask anything first, I'll tell you in detail after you leave here. And... our relationship... Don't let them see it yet... ."
Xiao Kai looked at him, then turned to look at Ke Xun and Wei Dong, then turned back to look at Tian Yang, and lowered his voice, "I understand, don't worry."
"Yeah." Tian Yang seemed to have a lot of thoughts, so he only replied shallowly.
Fortunately, time did not pass for too long, and the white light finally lit up again. This time, it was a girl who came in. It was not easy to judge her age. She was obviously dressed in a simple and mature manner, but her eyebrows and eyes were full of student spirit and the bridge of her nose. Put on a pair of round, black-rimmed glasses.
The girl looked at everything in front of her in shock, and it took a long time to find her own voice: "This... I... I have crossed?"
"No, you didn't," Wu You looked at her pityingly, "you have entered the world of paintings."
The girl was dumbfounded for a while, turned her head to look behind her, and found that there was no road or door, only a desolate land, she turned her head back in shock, and said stiffly: "Painting, the world in the painting? How could it be?! It's impossible—it's not scientific—this, this doesn't make sense—"
"What's your name?" Wu You sighed.
"Gu, Gu Qingqing..."
"Okay, everyone's here, I'll make a long story short," Qin Ci said, "Please believe that everything you see in front of you, and everything you are about to hear, is true."
Perhaps it is the experience of the commentary work - Qin Ci has already mastered the method of how to tell the most important information in the most refined language, so it did not take much time, in the state of shock and disbelief of the three newcomers , Qin Ci finished talking and finished work.
"The above is all true," Ke Xun took the words with a blank face, "Whether you believe it or not, if you want to get out of here alive as much as possible, you'd better act with us. Time waits for no one, let's act now."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand to hold Mu Yiran's hand and walked away.
The old members followed one after another, with Xiao Kai and Tian Yang at the end.
Tian Yang took his eyes back from the hands held by Ke Xun and Mu Yiran, and walked with his eyes lowered, when he heard Xiao Kai whispering beside him: "Did you hear clearly, there will be death in this painting, and every night Die—I think we have to get along with these people, they say they've been in a lot of paintings, they must have plenty of experience, we must not be single, we must keep up with them."
"Yeah." Tian Yang responded.
Xiao Kai glanced at him, leaned over, pointed at Ke Xun and Mu Yiran with his chin, "Look at them both."
Tian Yang quickly raised his eyelids and lowered them again: "Don't worry about others."
"What are you worried about," Xiao Kai said, suddenly reaching out and holding Tian Yang's hand, "Aren't they going to make it public anyway? Besides, if the painting is really as terrifying as they say, can we go out alive? I don't know, why are you covering it up?"
Tian Yang broke free from his hand a little stiffly: "I'm in a mess right now, you let me be quiet."
"Don't worry, it's me," Xiao Kai didn't pull him anymore, "Even if we really can't live, we can die together."
Tian Yang reluctantly raised his eyes and smiled at him, but said nothing.
Walking into the residential area, the first one facing you is a tall and dilapidated spired house. Ke Xun stopped outside the door and turned to look at his companions: "Are you ready?"
"Wait—wait a minute!" It was the girl named Gu Qingqing in the newcomer who spoke up, holding the glasses on her face in panic, pointing to the gap under the door, "What is that? Did you see it? That—that seems to be It's blood—it's blood!"
However, under the wooden door with peeling paint, a black and red stain extended from the crack of the door and dried up on the steps outside the door. The stain was covered with dead flies and unknown bugs.
Qin Ci came up from behind, looked down at the stain, nodded and said, "It's blood, it's been dried for many years, and the dust on it is already thick."
Ke Xun walked to the window next to the door, wiped off the dust on it with his hands and looked in, but the room was still dark, it seemed that even light could not penetrate the darkness inside, so even his eyes were as good as Ke Xun's. Difficult to see anything inside.
"Then what should I do?" Xiao Kai said, "Do you still want to go in? There won't be... there won't be some things you can't see... "
"If you don't go in now, it will be more exciting when you have to go in at night," Ke Xun didn't hesitate. "If you're afraid, you can wait outside. I'll go in."
"Ke Xun and I went to explore the way first," Mu Yiran quickly replied, "Everyone wait outside first, after confirming that there is no danger, then go in together to find clues."
"Then I don't think so," Shao Ling said. "Other people don't wait outside. First, get a general understanding of the topography and living conditions of this residential area. Maybe you can find clues outside the house. Let's divide it up. Team, everyone will act separately."
Everyone had no objection, and they were divided into four groups based on the principle of old and new, and mixed male and female. Zhu Haowen was also willing to enter the house to search for clues, so he and Ke Xunmu formed a group. Shao Ling took Wu You, He Tang and Tian Yang, Qin Ci brought Luo Meng and Gu Qingqing, and Wei Dongfangfei brought Xiao Kai.
After being divided into groups, everyone did not rush to leave, but waited outside the house for Ke Xunmu and Zhu Haowen to enter the house so that they could be rescued in time in case of an accident.
Ke Xun grabbed the door handle, took a breath, and twisted it hard.
"Click."
The door lock snapped open.
Ke Xun cautiously and slowly pulled the door open a crack, and a thick, rancid, smell of dust rushed out instantly. Zhu Haowen has a hand.
The door that lost its human control made a wrinkled and sour sound, and slowly opened with trembling, the sky light outside the door slammed into the darkness inside the door, and at the moment when light and darkness intersected, the depths of the room In a trance, something swept the floor and slipped silently.
Ke Xun held his breath and looked at the ground inside the door first. The sky was shining on it, it was not bright, and he could barely see some traces.
Sure enough, there was a pool of blood stains that had long since dried up and turned black. It spread out along the cracks of the wooden floor, forming horrific lines on the ground. There were some scratches around it that seemed to be caused by slipping in the blood. Some of them are messy, bloody footprints.
"It's human footprints." Ke Xun said.
Mu Yiran walked closer, looked down for a while, then turned to look at the inside of the door, and said, "In this position, a person once died, he walked out from the inside, and then fell beside the door, there is a man on the inside of the door. The bloodstain was half of the man's side face and right ear. When he fell, his face hit the door, and before he fell, his face was covered with blood.
"Given that there are no other blood marks on the inside of the door except this one, it can be assumed that this person did not stand up again after he fell.
"The question now is, where is this person's body, and if it was carried away after death, why was the blood on the ground not cleaned up.
"Of course, if supernatural forces are at work, this problem is not a problem."
"Come in?" Zhu Haowen looked at the two.
"Come in." Ke Xun still didn't hesitate, "As usual, there is usually no danger during the day."
"But there are some things, if you can't see them during the day, it doesn't mean they don't exist." Zhu Haowen said lightly, "Do you remember "Human Studies"?"
"... You reminded me," Ke Xun said, taking out his phone, calling up the camera, turning on the lighting function, and illuminating the room for a while, but he didn't see anything invisible to the naked eye, "Okay, Come in."
The three of them didn't delay any longer, they greeted the people waiting outside, and walked in the door without looking back.
Several groups of people outside also began to split up, each chose a direction, and quickly left the front of the room, but no one noticed that the half of the bloody face on the inside of the door was stained, and the position of the corners of the lips, It was slowly evoking, and a strange and twisted smile appeared.
Ke Xun turned on the lighting function of his mobile phone and walked in the forefront.
The entrance to the house is from a central hall. A staircase directly opposite leads to the second floor. There are two doors on the left and right, leading to four rooms.
The string of bloody footprints extended all the way to the entrance of the stairs, and around the footprints, blood spots of various sizes were constantly scattered.
"How badly injured this person was before he died." Ke Xun said, "Look at his footprints, almost the entire soles of the feet are soaked in blood, and there is no sign of fading all the way to the door, indicating that the blood in the wound has been There's a constant flow down the drain."
"This person walked down barefoot," Mu Yiran said. "Most likely he was in bed or in the bathroom before he died."
"With such a large amount of blood, it doesn't look like an ordinary accident. Could it be a murder?" Zhu Haowen asked.
"So, this is a haunted house?" Ke Xun turned his head suddenly, startling Zhu Haowen.
"What?" Mu Yiran stared at the direction that Ke Xun turned to look at, but it was a dark, backlit corner at the corner of the stairs on the first floor.
"It seems that something crawled over just now." Ke Xun said.
"Did you see it?" Zhu Haowen asked.
"No," Ke Xun shook his head, "I have my back to that side, how can I see it, I just feel this way for some inexplicable reason."
"Your feeling seems to be accurate," Zhu Haowen didn't take Ke Xun's subjective feeling as nonsense, and looked at him and Mu Yiran, "So, should we continue?"
"Continue." The two said in unison, even the calm and calm expressions on their faces were surprisingly similar.
Zhu Haowen lowered his eyes and felt that the light of the mobile phone in Ke Xun's hand was a little dazzling, so he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, turned on the lighting function, and pointed to the door of the first room on his right hand: "Save time, I'll check this room."
Ke Xun pointed to the second room: "Then I'll check this room."
Mu Yiran chose the room on the left, and the three of them stepped forward and carefully pushed the door open.
