After several long, deep breaths, Ke Xun felt that his body was gradually recovering, and he was finally able to clench his fists more powerfully.
Ke Xun was trying to get himself to sit up, and he had to find a way to close the window.
Xin Beibei lay motionless on the opposite bed, not knowing whether she fell asleep or was lying there watching Ke Xun.
Just when Ke Xun finally stood up and was about to walk to the window, his eyes suddenly seemed to be blind, and the unexpected darkness enveloped everything again.
Ke Xun stood where he was, not daring to act rashly when he couldn't tell the direction clearly.
This time it felt very clear that something came into the house, not just "passing" like the previous two.
In the vast, invisible darkness, only smell and hearing are left alive.
Perhaps Guo Lixia felt fear in her dream, her snoring was much reduced, and only the long breathing in her sleep remained.
Another voice in the darkness came from Xin Beibei. It was a very rapid gasp, a gasp that was so painful that it was about to suffocate.
Darkness has the smell of "color", like the smell of the berries in the working room, and the smell of the bottle in which Zhang Tianwei was soaked.
Ke Xun felt an extremely strong color smell brushing from his nose, and then gradually faded away. Ke Xun's eyes were looking in the direction of the window, as if the other party was about to leave the window.
Finally, a touch of gray came into view, which was the color of the window frame, and then the entire square window frame was revealed, and everything in the room could gradually be seen clearly.
Guo Lixia's polka dot pattern is still lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.
Ke Xun's own water ripple pattern stood in the middle of the room.
And Xin Beibei's diamond pattern is being dragged towards the window in a very distorted way.
That's right, Xin Beibei squirmed like a dragged snake, and like a moving cloth.
Ke Xun clearly saw the thing that was dragging Xin Beibei. It came from under Xin Beibei's feet. It was black and about the same size as Xin Beibei.
If there is no wrong judgment, this thing should be Xin Beibei's own shadow.
Ke Xun slowly took a few steps back to his bed, trying to stay away from Xin Beibei and her shadow.
"Xin Beibei?" Ke Xun finally called the other party's name. The death happened in front of him, and it was impossible to ignore it.
The diamond-shaped pattern belonging to Xin Beibei made a vague voice: "Guru..."
It sounded like a low vomit from suffocation.
Ke Xun broke out in a cold sweat, watching Xin Beibei's body being slowly dragged out of the bed and moving towards the window sill.
Xin Beibei's shadow has gradually spread to the windowsill, dragging her feet to the windowsill.
Ke Xun boldly approached Xin Beibei's head. Now her head is the farthest place from the shadow, and it should be a safer place.
Xin Beibei made a hoarse gasp, as if something was strangling her neck.
Ke Xun grabbed Xin Beibei's shoulders and tried to drag it back, but found that his strength was too disparity with the opponent's.
Ke Xun dared to touch Xin Beibei's neck tentatively with his hands, and found that the position of his neck was deeply sunk in - the flesh on his neck seemed to be strangled by something invisible.
Ke Xun touched the sunken shape and pulled his hand back.
That shape clearly came from an invisible big hand.
Because of the disparity in power, Ke Xun could only watch Xin Beibei being dragged out of the window by his own shadow. The narrow shape covered with rhombus patterns wriggled in pain and gradually disappeared from the window. s position.
Ke Xun chased to the window and stuck his head out. The dark shadow had already blended into the thick night. The striking pattern was that of Xin Beibei, which was shaky under the drag of the shadow, and was slowly dragged across the next door. The window, turned to the distance beyond the sight.
As seen last night.
At this time, Ke Xun felt a little cold. It turned out that his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Ke Xun looked at the windows on the left and right and found that all the windows of the rooms were tightly closed, so he was about to close his own windows.
Glancing across the pool and maze outside, I suddenly found that there was a black and white pattern in the maze, which was particularly clear in the solid gray maze.
That should be a person, someone in the labyrinth late at night.
Ke Xun wanted to see the pattern of the person's clothes clearly, but the distance was too far, so he could only vaguely see the outline of the person, standing straight beside the maze, as if he was looking at Ke Xun.
Ke Xun closed the window subconsciously, but did not leave the window, but continued to observe each other through the pane.
The man stood there for a few more minutes, then walked into the labyrinth and disappeared.
The whole night finally passed, and it was dawn.
The first news everyone got was: Ye Ningchen died tragically like yesterday's He Yu.
Fortunately, the other two people in the purple room were not affected by it, the whole room did not change, and the door was still purple.
Ye Ningchenyi's death was probably within everyone's expectations, but Xin Beibei's disappearance puzzled everyone.
Many people invariably turned their sympathetic eyes to Shi Zhendong.
Shi Zhendong was silent for a long time, and his voice seemed to be trying to suppress his choking: "Yesterday's blue pattern on the clock turned out to be related to Beibei."
"However, how was Xin Beibei selected? Did she also contaminate the color?" After Mi Wei said this, she subconsciously looked at the clock in the hall on the second floor. Seeing that it was still indigo last night, she felt relieved. breathed.
"Maybe visiting the door will also change the color of the clock." Mu Yiran glanced at everyone and made sure that the remaining nine people were present before continuing: "Miao Zipei said yesterday that the clock changed from orange to cyan. It happened yesterday morning, but at that time, all the people were not working, so people thought the change had nothing to do with the pollution color."
"At that time yesterday morning, everyone was on the second floor, just like now." Qin Ci said.
Mu Yiran continued: "That's why you say that visiting the door will change the color of the clock."
"You mean, someone stopped by yesterday morning?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Think about it carefully. When everyone observed He Yu's body in the red room yesterday, who was alone?" Mu Yiran threw a question.
Before many people could understand, they heard Shi Zhendong suddenly say: "It was Beibei, she was very scared at the time, I told those girls not to enter the red room first, but the other two girls went in to watch... At that time, there was only one left in the hall. Beibei is alone."
Zhu Haowen also recalled: "We stayed in the red room for a long time, at least for more than 20 minutes. What did Xin Beibei do in the hall alone? Why did she stop by?"
Everyone was puzzled. Xin Beibei could be said to be the least timid of the group. How dare he risk his life to go to rooms of other colors.
"I told everyone before that when a person is alone, especially when he is alone in the hall, he is likely to be bewitched." Mu Yiran looked at everyone, "I personally experienced it yesterday afternoon. After this incident, because of hallucinations, people can't help but want to push open the doors of other colors."
Ke Xun went through a whole night of tossing, and the next morning was a little listless, and now he heard this and seemed to remember something: "No wonder I always feel that Xin Beibei's hostility to Haowen'er is somewhat unreasonable, and now I think about it. , the temptation the other party gave her may have something to do with Hao Wen'er."
"You mean, because she received a revelation about me, yesterday morning, when everyone gathered in the red room, she pushed open our green door alone?" Zhu Haowen said.
"It's very possible, no, it should be said that there is only this possibility," Ke Xun looked at the closed green door. "The sum of blue and green is exactly cyan."
Shi Zhendong's eyes were red, and his voice was a little hoarse: "However, there was nothing wrong with Beibei yesterday, and her behavior was no different from usual."
"This is probably the genius of this world," said Mu Yiran, "people who are bewitched by it always maintain their own temperament, and only do it suddenly when they need to do something for them, so that they won't do it. We were noticed."
Wei Dong scratched his messy hair: "Do you mean that the blue stained on Xiao Ye's body yesterday was also made by Xin Beibei?"
Mu Yiran didn't speak, expressing his acquiescence.
Guo Lixia frowned: "But after the work at noon yesterday, the three of us washed our hands well, especially Xin Beibei who washed the cleanest."
"There's no need to stick the obvious color on your hands, you just need to secretly hide a blue berry in your pocket." Mu Yiran expanded his inference, "At 1 o'clock in the afternoon everyone was assigned work, the green room The rest of the people went to the fourth floor to check the changes of Zhang Tianwei's body, and the rest stayed in the lobby on the first floor."
Wei Dong nodded: "That's right, I, Xiao Ye, Sister Guo and Xin Beibei were left behind."
"If I'm not mistaken, Xin Beibei and Ye Ningchen's actions were relatively close, right?"
"Yes, Sister Guo was taking a nap at the time, and the two girls were chatting all the time, and I couldn't get in." Wei Dong still felt that Ye Ningchen's death was wrong, "Xiao Ye Mingming has already washed the skirt, why? still… "
"Maybe the color of this world is defined as indelible, even if it is invisible to the naked eye, it still exists," Mi Wei's voice still tried to remain calm, "so the clock suddenly turned into indigo at that time. color!"
The various signs that everyone has linked to yesterday have been consistent with today's inferences.
"When Xiao Ye had an accident last night, did you hear any unusual noises in the room? Or did you see anything unusual?" Qin Ci asked.
Wei Dong's face looked haggard: "We didn't sleep last night, and Xiao Ye didn't dare to sleep. Later, the room suddenly went dark, and there was no movement during that process. When the room returned to its original state, we found that Xiao Ye was missing. already."
"Gone?"
"The pattern that belonged to Xiaoye disappeared, her body and the darkness merged into one, and it was only after dawn that she realized that she had become like that..." Wei Dong couldn't continue.
The real death in this world is to merge with the darkness; in the daytime, it is as pale as a wall.
