Paintings of Terror

Chapter 82: Shadow 05 ┃ Wishing Pool

Views:

Although people's eyes were fixed on He Yu's corpse, their footsteps subconsciously moved further and further away from him. This strange vision made people feel very unlucky, as if once they touched it, they would be classified into the same dimension.

Qin Ci didn't plan to examine the corpse either: "I'm afraid this is beyond the scope of medicine, and there's nothing I can do."

The sobbing of the girls didn't know when it came to an end. In everyone's eyes, the corpse on the bed seemed to have nothing to do with He Yu.

Everyone tried to check every corner of the room, searching for possible causes of death. Ye Ningchen even observed the walls carefully, for fear that Zhang Tianwei would be "painted" somewhere unknown.

"Are the windows of your rooms open?" Zhu Haowen's eyes stayed on the fully open windows.

The windows here are not screened. Once the glass sash is opened, it is completely ventilated - although the world seems to have no wind.

The people in the other four rooms all gave denials, and the windows of each room were tightly closed.

So who opened the window in this room? Is it Zhang Tianwei who "left"? Or the murderer from last night

Everyone had no desire to stay in this room any longer. After the inspection was fruitless, they took the door and left together, and came to the more familiar hall on the first floor.

A hearty breakfast of fresh fruit, delicate pastries, and tempting sausages is on the table, but most people don't have an appetite.

"What are we going to do today?" Shi Zhendong asked first.

Qin Ci swallowed the jam bread in his mouth and took another sip of hot milk: "According to the requirements of the NPC, our task today is still to store three jars of berries. According to the workload of yesterday, if we work together, two or three It can be done in an hour, so we might as well divide the work and leave one person in each room to work and the rest to find autographs.”

Ye Ningchenyi: "And Senior Zhang, maybe he is imprisoned somewhere."

Although everyone guessed that Zhang Tianwei was already fierce, he nodded comfortingly.

Qin Ci: "Then each group will discuss the arrangement of personnel, and they can be rotated separately in the morning and afternoon."

"Our blue team will leave me to do the work alone. Those two kids are clumsy. If I do it myself, I can finish it in five or six hours." Guo Lixia's words made everyone look at her with admiration. Try this fried egg, it's so tender on the outside! I've eaten four of them!"

"… "

Wei Dong from the purple group took the initiative to say, "Mr. Mu is looking for autographs all day long. Let's take shifts in the morning and afternoon?" Wei Dong said this to Ye Ningchen, who was in the same group.

Ye Ningchen nodded a little: "I'll work first in the morning, and Brother Dong and Brother Mu will look for autographs."

After the yellow team discussed, Miao Zipei stayed to work first, while Qin Ci and Mi Wei were in charge of finding things.

Shi Zhendong from the green group volunteered to stay and work in the morning: "Xiao Zhu's observation skills are very strong, I believe he should find something."

Xin Beibei's face was a little ugly, and she wanted to be with her boyfriend: "your observation is not bad, why do you have to let him find it?"

Guo Lixia directly interrupted Xin Beibei: "Isn't it going to change in the afternoon? How about we change now?"

"Aunt Guo! Didn't you say that you are solely responsible for the work in our room?!" Xin Beibei's voice suddenly increased.

Ke Xun looked at his team members: "Working is everyone's obligation. Sister Guo's commitment to those tasks is a kind of contribution to everyone."

Xin Beibei pouted and said nothing, looked at Zhu Haowen and saw that the other party was eating breakfast slowly.

Shi Zhendong didn't know how to coax his girlfriend softly, Xin Beibei's expression became much better, and he whispered to her boyfriend: "Don't work so stupidly hard..."

Zhu Haowen wiped his mouth with a napkin: "I advise everyone to eat a little bit. Looking for autographs is hard work."

Others thought it was justified and forced themselves to eat some breakfast, and then acted according to the division of labor just now - Guo Lixia, Ye Ningchenyi, Miao Zipei and Shi Zhendong temporarily stayed in the rooms of each color to work, while the others were going to work. Looking for something.

Qin Ci once again urged everyone: "Everyone must remember, don't violate the rules again, those rooms that do not match their own colors can't enter, maybe they are suspected of polluting the color."

Everyone nodded secretly, no one wanted to be the next He Yu.

Shi Zhendong said to Ke Xun, "Xiao Ke, I have to ask you to take care of Beibei, and don't let her break into places she shouldn't be."

Ke Xun didn't say anything more, just nodded.

The four people in charge of labor went to the rooms of their respective colors.

There were seven people left in the hall.

"Let's divide it into two groups based on indoor and outdoor for the time being." Qin Ci expressed his opinion, "The two girls' mobility is relatively weak, so it is best to separate them."

Mu Yiran also expressed his thoughts: "As of now, the places we can see outside are mainly concentrated in the pools and labyrinths outside, and the fruit forests and rivers in the distance are too far from the center, so we don't consider them for the time being. ."

Xin Beibei couldn't help but said, "I want to go outside to find something!"

Everyone directly ignored Xin Beibei's willfulness and continued to listen to Mu Yiran's words: "There are many rooms in the building, and there are hundreds of them. This is a very large workload. We need to check each room, so we stay in the castle. It's better to have more people searching."

Qin Ci nodded: "I'll stay in the castle, who else is coming?"

Mu Yiran said, "Count me in."

Ke Xun's voice was like a shadow: "Count me in too."

Wei Dong: "I can't be separated from Ke'er."

The rest are Zhu Haowen, Mi Wei and Xin Beibei.

Xin Beibei looked at Ke Xun: "You promised Zhendong to take care of me! I want to check the pool!"

Ke Xun really wanted to give this annoying girl a kick, but suddenly heard the other person say, "Also, I don't want to be with this person!"

The person in Xin Beibei's mouth was referring to Zhu Haowen.

Zhu Haowen smiled lightly: "It's best for you to stay in the hall to eat and drink."

"What did you say..." Xin Beibei was trembling with anger.

The always calm Mi Wei stepped forward and said, "Doctor Qin is right. It's better for the two girls to be separated. My idea is that Brother Ke and Brother Wei take Beibei to look outside, and the rest of us are in charge of the castle."

"Let's do it this way." Mu Yiran looked at Ke Xun, "If you find anything, come back and discuss it together."

Ke Xun tilted his head to look at Mu Yiran, and pursed his lips, like a silent kiss, like a silent whistle, and like he was reciting a word, smooth? Maybe something else.

Mu Yiran's expression was light, but not as cold as before.

The distribution of Mi Wei is actually very reasonable. The five men present are all experienced "old people", and it is not suitable for too dense distribution.

So, the people divided into two groups, each went to search.

Xin Beibei was very interested in the pool, and walked over there quickly. The pool seemed to sense that someone was approaching, and suddenly sprayed bright silver-like water, splashing everyone with water droplets.

"Look, there are a lot of coins in the pool! This is really a wishing pool!" Xin Beibei greeted everyone to come and see.

Ke Xun Weidong walked over and took a look. The bottom of the pool was indeed covered with shiny coins, and the texture of the coins was very peculiar.

Wei Dong teased Xin Beibei: "You forgot what Mi Wei said yesterday, don't make a wish for something you don't know the details of, there is no wish in the world that can be obtained in vain."

Xin Beibei sat by the pool and held cool water with her hands: "I have everything, and I'm content! As long as we get out of here, I'll be the happiest person in the world~"

Wei Dong was embarrassed for Xin Beibei, and looked at Ke Xun, who was carefully studying the coins by the pool: "Why, do these coins have signatures on them? You won't be so lucky, right?"

Ke Xun stared at it for a long time: "Dongzi, come and see!"

Wei Dong squinted his short-sighted eyes and looked at it for a long time: "The patterns on this are different, you can see that this one is full of leaves, that one is full of dots, and the one closest to it is full of crooked moons. …”

Having said this, Wei Dong also felt the difference, and hurriedly looked down at his clothes. The white base was embroidered with triangular purple patterns. After looking around in the pool, he found a few coins with triangular patterns on them. of.

"These coins are the same as the patterns on our clothes, so what does this mean?" The more Wei Dong looked at the pool, the weirder it became. Maybe because the patterns on everyone's clothes were different, these patterns seemed to belong to each individual. , "There's definitely something wrong with this pool, I feel like it has grasped all the characters of our birthdays."

Xin Beibei was unaware of this: "There are so many patterns in the sky. Does this triangular pattern belong to you?"

Ke Xun touched his chin and circled the pool twice: "Since the pattern representing Zhang Tianwei is still there, it proves that the coins in the pool do not indicate anything - if this is really a wishing pool, then these patterns should represent various elements."

"Elements?" The other two obviously didn't understand.

"It's like some people worship the five elements, and some people worship wind, rain, thunder and lightning. People in this world probably worship these elements, so they engraved them on coins and put them into the pool when making a wish. This is probably like the people in our world praying for good weather." Ke Xun said his thoughts, but for the time being he couldn't understand how these elements were related to the main line of the whole picture.

Xin Beibei observed the shape of the fountain in the center of the pool: "It's strange, what do you say this stone sculpture is trying to express? I really can't tell if it's a character or an animal."

Ke Xun Weidong's eyes were also attracted by the shape of the fountain carved by this black stone.

"It's really strange. Even abstract things should make people understand what they want to express. In my experience, the more abstract things are, the clearer the meaning." Xin Beibei finally became an art student. .

The stone sculpture in front of you seems to be telling you intentionally that this is a chaos with no head and feet, and it is still a figurative chaos.

Ke Xun suddenly remembered the black strip that was constantly changing in width and width that he saw in front of the window last night. If they had to be connected, these two things were really similar.

"Let's go and see that green maze again. I especially like this kind of furry maze made of green plants. It seems that it can only be seen in foreign fairy tales!" Xin Beibei turned her eyes to the maze again.

"Come back! Something happened!" There was a shout from above the castle.

Everyone looked up and saw Qin Ci beckoning down from a window above.
