Because it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it would be nightfall in two or three hours, so everyone was cautious and did not divide into too many groups.
"Why don't you go outside to check? Obviously that pool and maze are the most striking symbols in the whole painting!" Xin Beibei questioned.
Shi Zhendong said earnestly: "At present, it seems that these two things are not suspicious for the time being. We'd better concentrate on finding out the rooms in the castle."
Xin Beibei showed a regretful expression, but said nothing more.
The rest of the people were divided into two groups to check the other buildings of the castle one by one, and then they were scheduled to return to the hall at 6:30 for dinner.
More than two hours passed quickly, and the two groups of people did not dare to waste time outside, and they all came back before dinner.
Qin Ci's group is in charge of the circular building: "The building has six floors, which is the tallest building in the castle. The first to third floors are accessed from the stairs below. The layout is exactly the same as the fourth floor. There is a semi-circular hall and a semi-circular room with the door closed. The color of the door is currently the color of wood, and the inside is very empty, with only one... An empty large glass jar standing in the room, about two meters high.”
Everyone's heart was heavy, as if the empty glass jars were waiting for someone to fill them.
"You mean, there are six floors in the circular building?" Zhu Haowen, a member of another group, asked at this moment, "We are currently divided into five colors, so what is the other floor for? "
Qin Ci naturally couldn't figure it out: "The fourth, fifth and sixth floors are separated from the bottom. Our corridor leads to the fourth floor. To get to the fifth and sixth floors, we need to climb up from the copper ladder outside the building. I was thinking. Brother Ke's movements are more agile..."
Ke Xun understood: "I'll go up and take a look tomorrow."
Ye Ningchen couldn't help but ask, "How's the situation on Senior Zhang's side?"
Qin Ci's expression darkened: "The red liquid is no longer overflowing, and the stuff inside has become the size of a fist. If you don't look carefully, you will almost ignore it."
As for Zhang Tianwei's body's shrinking size, everyone seems to be numb. The result of such shrinking is probably to be completely drained, and the last drop of color is also squeezed out.
"What about Haowen's group? What did you find?" Shi Zhendong looked at Zhu Haowen.
Xin Beibei looked a little unhappy, and she threw her eyes directly to Ke Xun: "What new discoveries have the team leader made?"
Ke Xun thought that Xin Beibei was a little funny, but the group didn't have a big gain just now, so they couldn't laugh at all: "We went to the most central building, but the door was locked, and it couldn't be opened without a key. The same is true for buildings, we went outside and looked at the pools and labyrinths.”
"You went to the maze?!" Xin Beibei was surprised.
"You seem to be very interested in mazes." Mu Yiran's eyes were sharp.
"I've always wanted to go to that maze, and I've seen it in movies before." Xin Beibei was a little aggrieved, "Is there anything new in the maze?"
Ke Xun: "The structure inside the labyrinth is very complicated. We only turned around in the outer circle, and we haven't found anything wrong for the time being."
Zhu Haowen: "If possible, tomorrow we'd better stand on a commanding height to overlook the maze and draw a map of its route, so that it will be easier to find the direction."
Xin Beibei looked at Zhu Haowen: "That is to say, your group found nothing just now."
Zhu Haowen didn't bother to look at the woman, so he looked directly at her boyfriend: "We found something wrong with the pool, and the coins in it have changed."
"The coins have changed? Is it different from what we observed in the morning?" Shi Zhendong asked.
Ke Xun nodded: "It was rather scribbled in the morning, and because something happened upstairs, the observation was interrupted. We only remember that there was a coin with a moon-shaped pattern about Zhang Tianwei in that pool at that time. As for the coins representing He Yu, The tic-tac-toe pattern was not looked at at that time.”
"What happened to those coins?" someone asked.
"The coins with the moon pattern are gone," Ke Xun replied, "and we searched the entire pool and found no coins with the tic-tac-toe pattern."
"What does this mean? After a person dies, the coins that represent their texture disappear?" Shi Zhendong couldn't understand the mystery, "But you clearly saw the moon-shaped pattern in the morning. Could it be that... Zhang Tianwei wasn't dead yet? "
Zhang Tianwei had already been soaked in the blood-red bottle at that time. It was hard to imagine that the person did not die at that time.
There was a dead silence at the dinner table.
It was Ye Ningchenyi who broke the silence: "If the same thing happens to me, please try your best to kill me."
Do your best, what can you do
Although the dinner was sumptuous, everyone only regarded it as a necessities for one's stomach. After barely eating, they walked upstairs with heavy steps.
The colors in the hall are gradually darkening, and the night that belongs to this world is coming.
"Be extra careful tonight." Like last night, Mu Yiran was not in a hurry to leave the first floor.
"It's me who should say this," Ke Xun stood beside Mu Yiran, "The person most likely to have an accident tonight is Ye Ningchen in your room."
"The danger that can be predicted is not the greatest danger."
"You mean..."
Mu Yiran looked at the gradually darkening indigo pattern on the clock: "Indigo is bright, and cyan is dark."
"That's right, no matter what color it is, it has nothing to do with our blue room." Ke Xun raised his arms, "According to the principle of color addition, as for the victims of cyan, except our room is the green room."
If two corpses appeared tomorrow morning, one of them should belong to Ye Ningchen, and the other could be anyone in the blue room or the green room.
"I'm just wondering if the person related to Cyan knows everything." Mu Yiran's words were meaningful.
"If you know it, why don't you tell it, let's find a way together."
"It's hard to say, maybe it's because of fear of being rejected, or maybe it's because of something else." Mu Yiran looked out the window at the gradually gray pool and maze, "No matter what, the danger at night is overwhelming, don't act rashly. ."
"Yan Ran is concerned about me." Ke Xun's voice suddenly became more relaxed - he has experienced too many life and death, and some things can be separated from life and death.
Mu Yiran didn't speak anymore, because the darkening of the night made the thin curly grass pattern on his body distinct in black and white, and the whole person seemed to be transformed into a finely crafted print.
The two went upstairs one after the other and returned to the lobby on the second floor.
Although it was night, everything was a clear silhouette, such as the light gray stairs, the dark gray tables and chairs, and the bottomless floors and walls.
The bedroom door was a dazzling light gray in the dark. It looked like there were only four at the moment. The door in the middle was now integrated with the wall, as if it had disappeared into the void.
Ke Xun returned to his own room. Everything in it was the same as last night. The patterns that belonged to the two ladies were lying on different beds.
"Team leader, we just said that when something went wrong last night, why didn't anyone call for help?" The polka dot pattern belonging to Guo Lixia turned over and seemed to face Ke Xun, "If something happens again tonight, Will it remain silent?"
"Even if someone calls for help, we can't go to other rooms to help." Xin Beibei's body is a narrow strip at night, and the small diamond patterns all over make people dizzy.
Ke Xun didn't say anything, and just lay down in the position from last night.
Now facing the two women in the same room, my mood is a bit complicated. After all, blue can only be brought out from the blue room. Ke Xun firmly believes that he has not done this, so the only suspects left are these two in the room. woman.
"You said, what secrets will be hidden in that maze?" Ke Xun asked suddenly.
"There's never a signature hidden there." Xin Beibei said.
"How can you see it?"
"There are green plants there, and there are no other facilities. Unless you sign your name on a leaf, how do you find it?"
"Yeah." Ke Xun yawned and stopped talking.
Maybe everyone was tired, and Guo Lixia's snoring soon sounded in the room.
Ke Xun didn't sleep, his eyes stared at the silhouette-like window and the black flannel-like night outside.
If you look closely, the window lattice is really like what Miao Zipei said, it is a lily of different shapes, but because of the beautiful composition, it is almost impossible to distinguish its original appearance.
About two hours later, Guo Lixia had fallen into a deep sleep, and Xin Beibei was also silent. Just as Ke Xun was fighting with his eyelids, the whole room suddenly entered darkness.
With no sleepiness for a moment, Ke Xun silently opened his eyes, trying to see through everything hidden in the darkness.
If it is true that this darkness belongs to a certain shadow, what is the coverage of this shadow? Where is the entity of the shadow
When people are in extreme danger, they often have something similar to a sixth sense. Ke Xun is like this at this time, as if he can confirm without basis that this shadow is just passing by his window.
But when the darkness gradually left, Ke Xun almost screamed.
The Morris pattern that originally belonged to the window was all gone!
This means that the windows of the room are fully opened.
who did it? Is it the outsider or the insider
Ke Xun didn't move, listening to Guo Lixia's snoring in his ears, rolled his eyes, and suddenly found that Xin Beibei changed her posture at some point, and was sitting on the opposite side of the bed at this time.
Ke Xun didn't say a word, trying to make the other party think he was still asleep.
The diamond-shaped pattern exclusive to Xin Beibei stays by the bed in a straight sitting position. Because of the darkness, people don't know where she is looking seriously.
Are you looking out the window? Are you still looking at Ke Xun's bed
Xin Beibei sat upright for a few minutes before lying back on the bed.
Ke Xun stared at the open window and found that he didn't have the strength to sit up and close the window. - The whole person is like collapsed on the bed. When the shadow came last night, I had a similar feeling.
Who opened the window? It should be Xin Beibei.
It can only be Xin Beibei, because the latch of the window is inside the house and cannot be opened from the outside.
What does Xin Beibei want to do
Is Xin Beibei still Xin Beibei
Did He Yu and Zhang Tianwei open the window from the room in this way last night
Could it be that the shadow can only open the window with the power of the people inside? So is the shadow a shadow or an entity
Ke Xun looked at the empty gray window frame, the whole window was like an open door, inviting something outside.
