The word "random" is particularly disgusting here. Because there are absolutely no routines and rules to talk about, and there is absolutely no way to deal with and avoid them, it all depends on luck.
Ke Xun glanced at Mu Yiran beside him, and saw that he was motionless, like a white stone statue, and he could hardly even hear his breathing.
Ke Xun retracted his gaze and listened to the thick and slow breathing of the giant shadow, and subconsciously adjusted his breathing to match it. With the breathing sound of the giant shadow covering up, Ke Xun could hardly hear his own breathing. .
The giant shadow finally came to the two men's tent, and Ke Xun saw its eight fat arms twisting and dancing in the air as if they were not controlled by it. Covered on the top of the tent, Ke Xun guessed that it was the head of this giant shadow. It seemed to be squatting down and put its head close to the tent.
The sound of gasping suddenly sounded above his head, and through the thin tent skin, Ke Xun could vaguely see the two eyes on this huge head blinking slowly.
It is looking into the account.
Ke Xun closed his eyes subconsciously.
The feeling of being stared at by something indescribable is indescribable, because it is unpredictable that in the next second, this thing will stretch out its huge palm and squeeze the two of them out of the tent. out, and tossed into its bloody mouth.
Ke Xun expected it to leave quickly, but the sound of gasping above his head kept staying where he was, and he never tire of looking at Ke Xun and Mu Yiran in the tent.
The longer the time, the more tense the nerves, the more emotional collapse, like the tip of a knife hanging over the head, I don't know when it will fall, but it is more reassuring than falling early.
Ke Xun's cold sweat broke out involuntarily, a heart was beating in his chest and was about to burst. If it wasn't for the heavy breathing of the giant shadow, he thought it might be able to hear his heartbeat.
After being placed under the blade like this, I don't know how long it took, the gasping sound finally moved away from the ear, and the giant shadow moved its legs and walked slowly to another tent.
Ke Xun relaxed the muscles that had been tense for too long, opened his eyes and turned to look at Mu Yiran.
Mu Yiran was lying on his side, and only half of his beautifully curved jaw and one eye were exposed in the light and shadow.
Neither of them moved, they quietly listened to the movement outside the tent.
It didn't take too long, and a shrill scream exploded among the tents.
Because the voice was too shrill and the voice changed, Ke Xun couldn't tell who made it for a while. He turned his face and looked in the direction where the voice came from. He saw that the giant shadow was carrying a person out of the tent with one hand. , This man struggled and twisted frantically, but he couldn't break free from Juying's hand.
The giant shadow carried him, like a young mouse, it straightened up and stood tall, the man was carried into the air by it, and the other arms of the giant shadow, which were still twisting and dancing, suddenly stretched forward in unison, thick and sturdy. His fingers held the man's head, limbs, and torso, respectively.
Then, pull gently.
Ke Xun closed his eyes.
But it still left the image of the thick blood and internal organs spilling on the retina.
The screams still lingered in his ears, and Ke Xun finally heard it. This voice belonged to the young man Tan Zheng.
The middle-aged man said that two people must share an account. So the one who died tonight was Tan Zheng, who had won his own account.
When the sun was about to dawn, all the frozen shadows trembled again with the wind. The tent was a little cold, and the air leaked from the outside. Ke Xun moved his numb body, sat up, and saw that Mu Yiran had already opened the tent. Curtain went out.
Ke Xun followed, and glanced in the direction where Tan Zheng was caught last night. He saw that on the rocky ground of Grey Flowers, bright red blood was sprayed everywhere, and Tan Zheng's severed body and stump were thrown everywhere.
Several newcomers were terrified. The beautiful woman named Li Ziling fainted from fright at the time. She has not woken up yet. Zhou Bin's girlfriend Zhao Dan threw up in the tent. Wei Dong was covered in dirt and suffered. Looking around for something to shave.
Ma Zhenhua was scared to pee, squatted outside the tent with a gray face, and from time to time he dared to look in the direction of Tan Zheng's death. Qin Ci and Mu Yiran were restraining their severed limbs, and then covered them with a torn blanket.
Qin Ci looked at Mu Yiran: "The head is missing."
"Well." Mu Yiran looked up to the sky, "That thing was taken away."
Qin Ci said: "It seems that the rules this time are actually very simple. Only those who live in a tent alone will die."
"So now we have twelve people left, no one will be singled out tonight, does that mean no more deaths?" Ke Xun walked over and said.
Qin Ci lowered his eyes: "Obviously this is not good news. If you don't die, just vote."
Someone always has to die.
Compared with those who had entered the painting before, the acceptance and adaptability of the new people were much worse. Until they gathered in the biggest tent that the middle-aged man said, several people still looked very ugly, so scared that they almost walked away. Can't move.
The middle-aged man was already waiting in the tent, looking at the crowd with miserable eyes: "The sacrifice will be held on the seventh day, you must prepare the sacrificial items, namely: Wuhuilu, Wugong meat, Dom, libation, Offering bowls, lamps, Gala, Dangka…”
Following a series of strange nouns spit out from the man's mouth, everyone looked at each other in dismay, but Mu Yiran's expression darkened.
"We'll gather here after dark. Let's have breakfast now." The middle-aged man left the tent after saying that. The food was already placed on the table behind him.
The breakfast consisted of shredded pasta made of coarse grains, milk tea separated from water and milk, and a few pieces of sour yellow cheese. Everyone didn't know the taste, and a few newcomers didn't even move their mouths.
"Eat some more, otherwise I won't have the strength to last." Wei Dong sat next to Li Ziling to comfort him.
"Is there any poison in this place?" Li Ziling cried with red and swollen eyes. She may have run out of tears now, and asked Wei Dong with a hoarse voice.
"No, don't worry, it just tastes a little disgusting, but it's better than nothing." Wei Dong said.
Ke Xun and Mu Yiran, who was sitting next to him, whispered: "The man just said a lot of things, is it all related to Sutuo?"
Mu Yiran put down the tea bowl in his hand, and his voice was slightly cold: "Then it depends, which branch of Sutuo is related to."
Reluctantly filling his stomach, Zhou Bin, the newcomer, was the first to slow down and looked at Mu Yiran and Qin Ci: "What kind of painter's seal you are talking about, where does it usually appear? Or , in what form will it appear?"
Qin Ci replied to him: "Every painting is different, I can't say for sure, but according to the few paintings we have entered before, there are usually two ways to find the seal, one is to decipher the painting by the artist. The intention of the painting, or the hidden secret in it, that is, what we call 'breaking the game', one is to complete the task set for us by the world in the painting, where the seal is located, and the clues provided in the painting, and ourselves There is a very close relationship between the penetrating painting meaning.”
"But how can this game be broken? I have no clue at all!" Zhou Bin was anxious.
Qin Ci said: "In fact, we haven't touched the door. We can't find clues by just waiting. We can look around more during the day."
"How do you find someone who is clueless?" Zhou Bin asked.
The glasses girl Shaliu suddenly interjected: "I think the clue may be related to the sacrificial items that the person just mentioned."
Qin Ci nodded slightly: "This is probably equivalent to the task set for us, so if we find a way to complete it, maybe there will be gains."
Zhou Bin hurriedly said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go quickly!"
His girlfriend Zhao Dan took his arm: "But what are those things? I don't understand at all. The meat, wine, and lamps are fine, and the others sound like foreign languages?"
Shaliu held up the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "I feel that this place is a bit like the prevalent area of Sudaism - Ganxiong Plateau, have you seen the colorful flags standing in the distance? This is an obvious sign. Then the string of nouns mentioned by the man just now, I think, are the artifacts that the local language refers to."
Zhou Bin said: "Then we just need to find these things, right? Hurry up and leave this ghost place as soon as possible!"
Qin Ci glanced at the crowd and said, "Of course you are looking for things, but you can't look for them all at once. We twelve people, I suggest dividing them into four groups, going in four directions, and returning at noon. Come here and communicate the progress and gains."
No one objected, Zhou Bin asked: "How to group?"
Ma Zhenhua staggered and rushed in front of Mu Yiran: "Can I go with you? Please, please!"
Seeing this, Li Ziling also got up and ran over, hugged Mu Yiran's arm, and looked at him pitifully: "little brother, I also want to be with you, please, I'm afraid..."
Ke Xun: "..."
Wei Dong: "… "
Sha Liu looked at Ke Xun: "Can I join you?"
Ke Xun: "..."
Wei Dong: "… "
Qin Ci looked at Mu Yiran and Ke Xun: "Is that the decision?"
Ke Xun: "I don't agree."
Wei Dong: "+1."
Qin Ci: "So, are you still drawing lots?"
Zhou Bin frowned: "Why do you have to draw lots to decide everything, time is running out, what are you still delaying!"
"He's right," Ke Xun said. "What if it's bad if he and his girlfriend are separated, now it's daytime, not nighttime, so it's perfectly possible for someone you know to go on a mission with someone you know. As I said, Zhou Bin and his girlfriend must be in the same group. This big brother Geng's family of three can't be separated. The two girls are classmates and both girls. It is inconvenient to be separated, and the second is not a company, so they can't be separated, right? ?"
Zhou Bin and his family of three nodded.
Mu Yi glanced at Ke Xun blankly, thinking that this guy was going to be a demon.
I heard this guy continue to say: "This way, it's easy to divide. Twelve people are divided into four groups, each group of three people. Those with companions cannot be separated, and those who are alone need to be included in the group with companions.
"Based on the companions, they were divided into four groups, namely Zhou Bin's young couple, Big Brother Geng's family of three, two sisters, me and Wei Dong, Big Brother Geng's family of three formed a group of their own, and the remaining three belonged to the other three. Group.
"The two girls are both girls, and they are the most vulnerable group. They need a mature and reliable man with emergency skills to guard. This man is none other than Dr. Qin. Dr. Qin can give treatment in time.
"Ma Zhenhua just went to Zhou Bin's young couple's group, there is an age difference there, it's more convenient than me, Wei Dong and brother Xiaomu, who are in the same group with your young couple.
"So the group is divided like this, do you have any comments?"
Mu Yiran: "..." I knew that was the case.
