Chapter 86: Shadow 09 ┃ Someone was contaminated

Views:

Shi Zhendong and Zhu Haowen finally finished their workload before two o'clock, and now everyone is concentrated in the hall on the second floor.

After hearing about the changes in Zhang Tianwei's body, everyone didn't say anything under the stunned expressions - except for the panic of the unknown, and the helplessness in the face of these many changes.

Miao Zipei looked up at the clock on the wall and felt a little puzzled: "The color has changed again."

When everyone heard the words, they looked up, but they didn't find any obvious difference.

Only Ye Ningchen said, "It seems... there are more blue components, rather than cyan, it is more inclined to indigo."

"We laymen really don't know the specific color classification," Shi Zhendong looked at his little girlfriend who was also studying art. "What is indigo?"

Although Xin Beibei's professional knowledge is average, she still knows these basics: "Indigo is a combination of blue and purple, but I don't think the current clocks belong to indigo."

Miao Zipei's eyes are like a highly accurate instrument for distinguishing colors. He squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while: "The color is changing very slightly, from cyan to indigo slowly transitioning, among which the blue It’s fixed, and the green that goes with it is gradually transforming into purple, and I believe that after ten minutes, everyone will be able to see a very standard indigo color.”

Shi Zhendong couldn't hold his breath: "What does the color change of this clock indicate? Although I don't remember the specific color change you mentioned, these colors are very mixed, and cyan and indigo are not among our five colors. middle."

"Let's ask classmate Miao to elaborate on each change. Let's try to analyze them one by one." Qin Ci said.

Miao Zipei was about to explain in detail for everyone, but was interrupted by an exclamation.

The voice came from Ye Ningchenyi, who saw her stand up from the chair in horror, and kept tossing her skirt: "My God, my skirt is stained with other colors!"

Everyone's first reaction was to stay away from this girl immediately. After all, polluting colors is the biggest taboo in this world.

After Ye Ningchen calmed down, he felt more and more like a god of plague. At this moment, he took the initiative to stand far away, holding the skirt stained with blue juice, sobbing lowly.

Ye Ningchenyi's long dress was embroidered with small lavender flowers. At this moment, it was stained with a touch of blue on an inconspicuous position of the skirt. This fresh and soft color was very dazzling at the moment. .

"Who's in the blue group?" After Ke Xun said this, he suddenly realized that he was a member of the blue group.

Guo Lixia and Xin Beibei, who were in the same group, also stood up for unknown reasons: "This... We will wash our hands well every time we walk out of the room."

Ye Ningchen's whole face turned white with fright: "What should I do, is this considered polluting the color? When did this happen? I've never been in another room!"

"As long as you don't bring color into the workroom, it's not considered pollution!" Ke Xun thought of this, and hurriedly pulled Ye Ningchen toward the bathroom: "Try it, maybe it can be washed off!"

Ye Ningchen, just like Feng Lunyin, hurriedly went to the bathroom to turn on the faucet, and rubbed it back and forth with soap.

The expressions of the people in the hall were very serious. Zhu Haowen said: "It is impossible to determine when she got the blue color. If it was in the morning, then the room is now polluted."

"Don't worry, this analysis should be able to come to a conclusion," Ke Xun carefully recalled everyone's schedule today, "Xiaoye has never entered the blue room, so the only explanation is that the people in the blue group accidentally changed the color I brought it out and accidentally dyed it on Xiaoye's skirt."

Guo Lixia and Xin Beibei both frowned and looked innocent.

Ke Xun continued to analyze: "Before lunch, except for the green room, everyone completed the workload, so after noon, no one else entered the working room again. That is to say, if the blue color was dyed after noon, Then it's likely to be fine after washing it off."

Everyone nodded silently, and Shi Zhendong also followed the analysis: "The dangerous time is in the morning. From morning to fruit time, there are only four people working. At that time, only Guo ... Xiao Guo was able to come into contact with the blue juice."

Guo Lixia became anxious all of a sudden: "Why did you become me?! I have been working hard all morning, washing my hands well before coming out, and being very careful, for fear of taking the color out! The incident with He Yu yesterday! Who is not afraid!"

Shi Zhendong hurriedly said: "Xiao Guo, don't worry, this is not a positive analysis, and I didn't say it was you."

Ke Xun comforted Guo Lixia with a few words, and Guo Lixia finally calmed down, but she couldn't help but mutter: "It's unfortunate, you can't do your work..."

Shi Zhendong continued: "At ten o'clock in the morning, during the fruit time, everyone gathered in the hall. This is an important time, and it is also the first chance that the leaflet may be stained with blue paint; later, everyone went back to the room to work and went out again. It's lunch time, that should be the second and last time."

At this time, Ye Ningchen also came out of the bathroom, her face still pale as paper: "I washed it several times, and it looks like it was washed off, I don't know if it will help."

No one knew how to comfort her, and all the language was pale now.

"Xiao Ye, who have you had close contact with this morning?" Ke Xun asked. After all, being able to touch the other's skirt should require a more intimate movement.

Ye Ningchen recalled carefully for a long time: "I don't remember who I have been in close contact with. During the morning break, I was mostly with Mi Wei..."

Mi Wei's color is yellow, which was first ruled out.

"I don't think it's the morning," said Mu Yiran, which caught everyone's attention, "When we left the first floor at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the clock was still blue, and we will be here again at 2 o'clock, Miao Zi. It should not be a coincidence that Pei discovered that the color of the clock has changed, from cyan to indigo, which is precisely the combination of blue and purple.”

The crowd carefully filtered Mu Yiran's words, Miao Zipei looked up at the clock that had turned into pure indigo: "Indigo is a combination of blue and purple, Ye Ningchenyi's skirt itself is purple, and it is stained again. Blue, the combination of these two colors is precisely indigo! Is this what the clock has taught us?!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Mu Yiran nodded slightly: "Miao Zipei first discovered the change of the clock, from white to orange, orange is precisely the combination of red and yellow, thinking of yesterday's pollution color incident - He Yu did not wash the red paint on his hands. , and entered the yellow room, can this be understood as a combination of red and yellow?"

Everyone nodded thoughtfully, completely trusting this assumption: "It turns out that the change of the clock is the color of the pollution! Every time a color pollution incident occurs, the pattern of the clock will change color accordingly!"

Mi Wei still grasped the inconsistency: "But, what does cyan stand for? After orange is cyan! Cyan is the combination of blue and green, and the time when the clock turns cyan is this morning! At that time everyone If you are not in the work room, what chance do you have to contaminate the color?"

Everyone fell silent again, and Ke Xun felt that his head was getting bigger: "Although the source of cyan cannot be explained at present, the previous analysis should be reasonable. We can all see the formation of orange and indigo."

Ye Ningchen was still at a loss: "But, what should I do now..."

"Anyway, everyone has completed the amount of labor, so don't enter any labor rooms for the time being." Qin Ci had no better way.

Ye Ningchen nodded in a panic: "But what about when you sleep at night? Our bedroom door is also colored!"

Ke Xun thought of something, and raised his head just to meet Mu Yiran's gaze.

Guo Lixia also felt that this little girl was pitiful: "Hey, why don't you stay in the lobby on the second floor for one night."

"Is that a violation of the rules..." Ye Ningchen became sullen, as if he had been declared a terminally ill patient.

No one dared to say this, after all, the NPC asked everyone to go back to the room of their own color to sleep.

Just thinking of the NPC, the familiar music sounded, and the NPC's voice was so sweet that people wanted to strangle her: "Congratulations everyone for completing today's work task~ Afternoon tea is ready to be in the dining car, please open the hall door and pick it up by yourself. ~After afternoon tea, everyone can walk around and enjoy the scenery of the castle!" The NPC increased his tone as usual, "Remember not to contaminate the color! Remember!"

These words hit Ye Ningchenyi's heart heavily. The girl was so scared that she didn't even cry. At this moment, she looked at Mu Yiran in panic: "Team leader, what should I do?"

Ke Xun didn't expect Mu Yiran to be elected as the leader of the group by Zi Zi, which is quite a match for him...

Mu Yiran looked at Ye Ningchenyi with a rare kind of gentleness in his eyes: "There may be a chance of life after the color is washed off. Don't sleep in the hall at night, it is a violation of the rules in itself."

Xin Beibei seemed to suddenly think of something: "You guys think about the red bedroom, because of He Yu, the whole room has lost its color! If she really polluted the color, would the purple bedroom also... "

There is an unshakable certainty in Mu Yiran's eyes: "Painting also has a bottom line, especially in terms of death conditions, it is almost perfect and harsh - it will never hurt the innocent because of a certain person."

Wei Dong also said: "Xiao Ye, you can rest assured to go back to our house, we are not afraid! If there is any danger, maybe we can help you!"

Ye Ningchen was very moved and nodded hurriedly.

At this time, Guo Lixia had already pushed in the dining cart. There were Western-style cakes beautifully arranged in the shape of a round tower, and a glass vessel with a thin neck and a round belly filled with bright red pomegranate juice.

Everyone was a little bit conflicted, and they all chose ordinary tea.

"We have to continue looking for autographs, and we can't waste our precious time during the day." Qin Ci was eating delicious cookies with an expressionless face.

"This castle is made up of many groups of buildings. At present, we only know the square building we are in, the circular building on the corridor, and only the fourth floor. We must find a way to find out the whole castle." It was Shi Zhendong who spoke.

Xin Beibei quickly said, "There is also the outside of the castle. We only looked at the pool in the morning. We haven't had time to look at the maze!"
