Views:

Everyone took a pen and paper, and thought about the clues in their minds separately. If there is not enough pens for each person, they will share one, and whoever remembers will write first.

On the way, Tian Yang came out of the living room and took the water boiled with willow bark. Ke Xun boiled a pot of moss and vine juice, and then put the bird eggs in it. After they were cooked, everyone ate a few wraps. In the abdomen, the rest is left to Qin Ci Tian Yang and Xiao Kai.

It took about half an hour for everyone to finish writing.

"Let's read what we wrote in turn," Shao Ling said. "People who don't have a turn to read should pay attention. If the person who read in front is the same as a certain content of what you wrote, then cross out this one of your own, and don't repeat it. Repeated reading, so as not to make the clues appear complicated, disrupt our thinking, and also delay time. If this content of my own is more detailed and has more clues than people who are mindful, I can add it at any time. Then, I will first bring it on."

Picking up his own paper, he spoke slowly and clearly: "I think it can be a clue: First, the bloodshed in each house in the residential area, let's call it a 'blood case' What is the reason for such a bloody case in every house

"Second, the date issue. Anything that shows the year blurs out the year in the date. I think this is a way of 'painting' to hide the clue. If we can find a way to find the year, maybe There will be breakthroughs in the clues.

"Third, the problem of survival dilemma. After we enter the painting, we are faced with the most primitive survival dilemma of food, water and illness. Is this also a hint related to clues

"The above are the three places that I am more concerned about. Next, please continue to add."

"What I care more about is the climate," Zhu Haowen said, and Xu Shishao's three points summed up almost all the clues that everyone has obtained so far, so Zhu Haowen only added one point, "I feel that in this painting The presence of climate is too strong, and heat may be one of the clues."

"I thought of one, I don't know if it could be considered a clue," Luo Meng also had a rare independent opinion, "I just feel that it is a pleasant surprise to find such a long vine with rich water content in the forest. I hardly had any hope. Of course, it's normal for such a long vine to exist in the forest, but I just thought... how should I put it, I'm lucky, I didn't expect 'Painting' to cooperate with us this time. That's it, I'm done."

"There is indeed a reason for you to be suspicious," Wei Dong said, pointing to Gu Qingqing who was pointing his head down and writing something in the notebook, "There is a similar situation about finding the willow tree, this girl didn't say it Well, willow trees are rarely seen in subtropical or tropical regions, but we were very lucky to find a willow tree. This kind of luck was unthinkable in previous paintings, and it felt like 'painting push' took the initiative to give us the first time Like opening a gold finger, I also think this is very questionable."

"In other words, 'painting' provides us with a way to survive," Fang Fei said. "You also said that painting will not give us a dead end without flaws. , Willow bark, these things are the 'lifetime' that painting provides us, at a minimum, to ensure that we have water and food, so as not to die of starvation and thirst.

"But if you say it's luck or golden fingers, I can't agree with that. If it wasn't for some of us who knew that moss and vines were well hydrated, and that willow bark could be used as medicine for colds and fevers, then this Life is a dead end for us.

"So I don't think it's unbelievable luck or 'painting' the intentional release of water, it's our own personal ability, and we don't have to think about the intentions of the painting in this regard. What needs to be considered should probably be why this A forest, like a residential area, can become the main part of the limited area of this painting.”

"Very reasonable." Wei Dong gave her a thumbs up.

"You have said everything you can say," Wu You said, "I can't think of anything else, but what I'm most puzzled about is why there is no water in the water supply system here and no electricity in the power supply system

"If we say that this residential area has independent water supply and power supply, then we have not seen power supply facilities and water supply facilities, which means that the place for power supply and water supply is elsewhere, not in this area.

"And if it's not in this area, at least it means that the water and electricity facilities are not only for the water and electricity of this residential area, right? It is likely that several areas share the same water and electricity facilities. Then why does it stop water and electricity, don't The area is not responding? Just let it stop

"Although other areas are not included in this painting, don't you say that even in the painting - except for the overly abstract paintings like "Schrödinger's Cat", there is usually a normal logic system? So? , Under normal circumstances, there must be a place supplying water and electricity to this area and other areas, but now the water and electricity have been stopped, does that prove…”

"—Prove that there are 'blood cases' in other places, just like here!" Wu You woke up the dreamer, and everyone said a word of the same meaning at the same time.

"This is terrifying..." Wei Dong and Luo Yu looked at each other with panic.

"Wu You's idea is indeed a new discovery," Shao Ling's expression became serious, "If such a 'blood case' also occurs in other parts of the world, then I am afraid that this incident can no longer use the two 'blood cases' To sum it up in words, it is likely to be a mass event."

"Isn't this world really a zombie world?" Luo Meng said in shock.

"I don't think so," Ke Xun said, "If it's a world of zombies, at least there must be corpses. Except for blood, you can't even see a stump, unless everyone turned into zombies overnight. , the same kind does not eat the same kind, so no corpses or stumps were left. But there is no way to explain the blood in every house, will it be bloody after turning into a zombie? The zombies depicted in the paintings are different from those shown on TV.”

The discovery of this new clue made everyone somewhat shocked. After a period of silence, Shao Ling spoke again: "Go ahead, who else has new clues or discoveries?"

Ke Xun, Mu Yiran, He Tang, and Gu Qingqing remained. Gu Qingqing kept his head down and wrote something on the paper, while He Tang seemed a little nervous from beginning to end. She huddled in the corner of the sofa, occasionally like Listening to something.

Seeing that Ke Xun had no intention of speaking for the time being, Mu Yiran said: "The clues we have found so far are basically the points that we have just said, and I don't have any more clues to provide, so let's talk about it. I personally care more about it.

"What I care about is Xiao Kai's illness. It came on too suddenly, and after the attack, it was very violent. Tian Yang said that he rarely gets sick to this extent, which means that his physique is still good and his resistance is not low, then How was this disease induced

"If there is no reason, it's just a matter of painting, then what are the rules for selecting people for painting? Did Xiao Kai suddenly fall ill because he met some conditions

"If it's not a painting, but just a natural and normal trigger to cause a cold and fever, then what is the trigger? I think we need to figure out this issue to prevent more people from getting infected with this symptom. That's all for now."

Ke Xun took over the ending: "You have already said all the clues you can think of, I don't have any new clues to provide, so let's talk about my personal thoughts.

"I always feel that the clue of the bloody case and the clue of the original predicament have no intersection. But if you look at the clues Wu You just said, this problem can be easily explained.

"If the bloodshed is widespread, like maybe other parts of the world, people have suffered the same tragedy, then all the productive activities and resource providers must have died, or no longer existed in the In this world, the original predicament we are facing now has become inevitable.

"It is precisely because of the large-scale death or disappearance of human beings that those of us who have survived have to face this primitive dilemma. So these two clues can be combined into one clue, that is: because of the occurrence of the bloody case, the human society has become The production and resource provision activities of the stagnation of the surviving people can only rely on some primitive means if they want to continue to survive.

"Another question is what Fang Fei mentioned, why the forest is also included in the main scope of this painting.

"If the main clue of this painting is a murder case, what does it have to do with that forest? Could it be that the meaning of the forest's existence is to give us a way to live and prevent us from dying of thirst and starvation

"If this is the case, then this clue can also be combined into the clue of the blood case and the original predicament, that is, because the blood case caused the original predicament, and because of the original predicament, we provided us with a forest, let us find it. a way of life.

"After the three-in-one clue, there is only one key point left, and that is the bloody case.

"What were the consequences of this murder? What was the situation at the time? What was the reason for the murder? I think as long as these problems can be solved, the meaning of the painting's theme of 'reboot' will be the same for us. It can be broken."

"It's a good summary," Zhu Haowen said. "Several seemingly fragmented clues are rubbed together. So now only the most important issues of murder, the date that has been blurred out, and the presence of hot weather are too strong. The problem, and the cause of Xiao Kai's illness. Is there anything else?"

The people who did not speak were He Tang and Gu Qingqing. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on this side, He Tang hesitated and bit his lip to speak, but saw that Gu Qingqing had put down the pen and put his own Pick up the notebook and show it to everyone.
