With the sound of the music, the sweet NPC reminded everyone: "It's tea time, please come to the hall to rest~" The NPC's tone increased, "Be sure to wash the juice of the berries on your hands, and don't contaminate the color!"

In the hall, there are several round tables covered with white lace tablecloths. Most of the people are sitting around the largest round table. Xin Beibei and Shi Zhendong sat at the small round table for a while, and Shi Zhendong took his girlfriend and joined everyone.

"How old are you in seven years?" Guo Lixia asked Shi Zhendong coldly.

Shi Zhendong's expression was a little embarrassed: "It is a tiger."

"I'm a rabbit, you are one year older than me!" Guo Lixia praised her previous correct guess.

"Okay, Sister Guo, let's talk about business!" Ke Xun directly interrupted the troublesome eldest sister in this group.

Guo Lixia nodded cheerfully: "Don't say anything, just listen to our team leader! Don't look at our team leader's youth, but he has a unique way to convince the public!"

Mu Yiran looked at Ke Xun, who was sitting beside him, with a faint smile on his face.

Qin Ci was the first to ask everyone: "Just now everyone was working in their respective rooms, did you find anything unusual?"

Everyone was just familiar with the environment and didn't have time to observe it carefully.

He Yu, who has long bohemian hair, said: "I found that this world is completely in line with the style of Brutalism. First of all, the composition is not very proportional, such as the green labyrinth and circular pool outside the castle. We walked through the long steps. Coming to the inside of the room, looking out the window, you can still see them very clearly, this clarity is a close observation, if you put it in real life, this is impossible."

Mu Yiran nodded slightly, and it seemed that he had also discovered this.

He Yu continued: "Fauvism does not pay attention to perspective and light and shade. It is a flat composition that breaks the traditional western painting style. The color of the object itself and the shadow form a strong contrast. This painting method itself is out of nature. , painters focus on subjective feelings, which is also in line with what Fauvists often say: painting is not a manual, but our feelings!"

So when Ke Xun first entered the painting, he would have a question: Is this painting three-dimensional

"But NPC has always reminded us not to contaminate colors," Mi Wei also said, "We all know that the colors of Fauvism are free, and even have a sense of indiscriminate, such as Matisse's one In the famous "Woman with a Hat," the woman's face is boldly used green, red, yellow, and blue, and the interweaving of these colors."

Guo Lixia was also seriously participating in the meeting. After listening to Mi Wei's words word by word, she sighed, "Can you still watch it..."

Mi Wei gave Guo Lixia a short smile: "On the contrary, those colors are very harmonious on Madame Matisse's face, full of harmony, but also very decorative."

Guo Lixia rubbed her eyes, not quite understanding.

Shi Zhendong nodded: "What a few classmates said just now is very valuable, especially about the pool and the maze, since they can be observed at close range from any direction, are these two things the artist wants to highlight? "

Several old people who had experienced painting were impressed by Shi Zhendong. Qin Ci said, "We can focus on those two places to search. Maybe the painter's signature is near there."

Zhu Haowen also suddenly said: "The name of this painting is "Shadow", and the shadow of this world is indeed different, so it is better to observe it carefully - there may be a signature hidden in the shadow, and there may be a fatal danger."

This topic was a bit heavy, and everyone subconsciously looked at the shadows under their feet. In the hall room, everyone's shadows were the same dark purple, with lime green borders.

Qin Ci stood up and poured the black tea from the teapot to everyone: "Everyone should try to eat as much as possible. We don't know when dinner will be arranged."

Ke Xun and Wei Dong were basically full, Wei Dong took a sip of black tea with sugar and milk, and felt that he should be fine until the night: "The problem now is that our time during the day is also arranged by the NPC, we can only Being locked in a room to work, and going out to eat and rest at midnight, when can we go outside to look for autographs? We can't go at night."

Everyone was quiet, this is indeed a matter that needs to be urgently resolved.

Ke Xun said: "Since we are asked to work, there will definitely be a workload, but the NPC hasn't said it yet. Once the daily workload is determined, we can arrange tasks by role, some people stay and work, and some people go out. Find an autograph!"

Wei Dong followed up: "NPC just doesn't let us contaminate the room with each other, but it doesn't restrict us from going out, at least it doesn't say it clearly! As long as we have completed the workload, we should be able to go out!"

Everyone thought it was reasonable. After the afternoon tea, they went back to their rooms to work, trying to complete the task as soon as possible and get free time.

The NPC's voice remembered again, and it really made a workload arrangement for everyone: "Before dinner, each room must complete the storage of three jars of berries. Please hurry up and enjoy the beauty that labor brings to everyone!"

There were only two people in the red room, He Yu and Zhang Tianwei, but the two boys' hands-on skills were not bad, and they quickly completed the three cans of labor.

Everyone in the yellow room was also actively working, and Mi Wei suddenly stopped her work: "Have you noticed that the colors of these berries are not as bright as before?"

Miao Zipei, who didn't speak much, also said, "I just found out that not only these berries, but also those shadows have become darker." Then he looked at the patterns on his clothes, "including these embroidered ones. Colors are also getting darker."

The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and it was Zhang Tianwei and He Yu who walked in. He Yu said excitedly, "Have you found it? This world uses color changes to distinguish day and night! There is absolutely no light and shadow refraction!"

Several students fell into a kind of excitement of discovering new knowledge: "I can't imagine how the night here will be expressed!"

Qin Ci had a sullen face, and said sharply to He Yu, "Why didn't you wash your hands!"

Everyone was startled by Dr. Qin's sudden sternness, and turned to look at He Yu's hand, which was still stained with obvious red juice.

He Yu rubbed his hands: "I... I didn't pollute the color... "

"Hurry back to the room to wash your hands!" Mi Wei urged He Yu.

Maybe these young people haven't experienced death in this world, so they didn't realize the fatal danger brought by this kind of behavior, Zhang Tianwei also came to comfort Qin Ci: "I'm so sorry, He Yu is such an informal character, usually His hands are full of paint, and he often washes his hands hastily, so his hands are often colorful."

Seeing Zhang Tianwei's clean hands, Qin Ci calmed down a little: "Student Zhang, I advise you to leave this room first, we currently don't know what the NPC means by 'don't bring the color to other rooms'. -If the conditions are harsh, we can't even come to the door even if we wash our hands."

Zhang Tianwei's expression was a little embarrassed: "Okay then, I'll go out first, let's talk in the hall."

When everyone completed the task and came to the hall, they found that the color of the room was obviously darkened, the fruits and bread on the table had almost turned gray, and the shadows of everyone were slowly turning black.

"Everyone, please have dinner!" The NPC's voice sounded enthusiastically, "After dinner, you can go to the dormitory on the second floor to rest, the color is still divided according to the previous division, please remember your own color! Do not contaminate the color. !"

When everyone heard about the foul incident between He Yu and Zhang Tianwei, they were all speechless for a while. Several students comforted each other. The reason was: they didn't touch other colors of fruit with their juice-soaked hands, so it should be considered no. pollution color.

Several people who had experienced painting tacitly glanced at each other and conducted a cruel analysis in their hearts: He Yu and Zhang Tianwei happened to form two levels of fouls. One was to enter other rooms with color without washing their hands, and the other The second is to enter other rooms after washing hands. Both results did not cause visible pollution to the color of the room. I don’t know if I will be punished tonight.

Once someone escapes death tonight, it proves that such behavior does not constitute a death condition, and everyone can follow the next day.

Shi Zhendong subconsciously looked at the pool outside through the window, and found that the fountain had stopped spouting water at some point, and the green labyrinth had turned gray-green, as if it had suddenly lost its vitality.

"It's getting dark, everyone, go back to rest early." Ke Xun looked up at the ceiling, and there was no trace of lights there. Maybe the world is dark at night.

Everyone went up the stairs to the second floor one after another, but Mu Yiran went to the window to observe the outside again, and found that the key scenery outside had become pure black. In order to distinguish, the lawn steps and other areas have become dark and light different greys.

"From the current point of view, this painting has very strict requirements for color." Ke Xun stood beside Mu Yiran and looked at the print-like scenery outside the window. Even if it was gray, it was a very pure and full gray. "The colors of this world don't have any transitions, it's a bit like a child's painting."

"The Fauvism does retain the innocence of a child," Mu Yiran's eyes were still staring out of the increasingly dark window, and his voice suddenly dropped: "It's better to be cautious on the first night, it's better not to go out."

Ke Xun had a kind of happiness of being told, but this time he was very obedient and did not follow the pole, but made a low "um" sound.

The two walked up the dark stairs to the second floor.

The layout of the second floor is exactly the same as that of the first floor. There is also a hall. The five doors that were originally brightly colored have turned gray at this time. Ke Xun can only knock on the originally blue door according to his memory: "Sister Guo, are you inside?"

There was a quick response inside: "The team leader is back!"

The door was opened from the inside, and Guo Lixia's skirt was covered with black and white circular patterns, which looked very strange at night.

Ke Xun still uneasy knocked on the door next to him. According to his memory, this should be Mu Yiran's purple room: "Dongzi, are you in there?"

"Damn it, Ke'er, don't make a fuss, don't stop at the door!" Wei Dong's voice sounded inside.

Mu Yiran nodded to Ke Xun and pushed open the door.

"Good night!" Ke Xun returned to his room after saying this, and found two wooden beds in the dark room.

"Team leader, she doesn't sleep in the same bed with me, and I don't want to sleep next to her!" Guo Lixia's voice fluctuated in the darkness, but her whole body panned across the room like a pattern of black dots on a white background.

Ke Xun's pattern is a white background with black wavy patterns, and the pattern trembled slightly at this time: "Sister Guo, what do you think?"

"You choose, sleep with me or sleep with her?" Guo Lixia asked frankly.

"… "

The pattern with black dots on a white background lay directly on a bed: "Anyway, we have one bed for each, and you can sleep wherever you want."

On the other bed was a small black diamond pattern on a white background. The pattern made Xin Beibei's voice: "That's not good. I'm not used to sleeping with strangers. Besides, the team leader is still a man."

"You finally know that I'm a man." Wave pattern made a voice that wanted to cry without tears.

The diamond pattern turned over and seemed to be asleep.

Suddenly the whole room turned completely black, as if it was covered by a huge black cloth, and all the patterns of the three people disappeared.
