Mu Yiran's words attracted everyone's attention, including Mi Wei, who was already desperate.
"Judging from Ke Xun's observation last night, Xin Beibei is restrained by two forces, the first is her own shadow, and the second is the invisible person restrained around her neck." Mu Yiran's voice was in the extremely quiet hall. There is a slight reverberation.
Everyone was focused, except for Ke Xun who made a small mistake: he called his name really nice.
Mu Yiran continued: "We have analyzed before that if these two forces work together, it will be difficult to achieve harmony and unity. In addition, there is a problem that cannot be ignored, why does this force use the people in the house to open the windows? Since the other party is so powerful, it should be no problem to open the door and open the window."
Shi Zhendong said: "The windows are bolted from inside the house, and people outside may not be able to open them."
"However, how did Ye Ningchen die?" Mu Yiran knew very well about his purple room. "Our bedroom has the windows tightly closed and has never been opened."
No one has thought about this question. He Yu and Zhang Tianwei lived in the same room before, and one of them was confused by the painting. Just like Xin Beibei, he opened the window for the other party, so he put "that thing" into the room.
But the purple room didn't open the window, how did Ye Ningchen die
"This matter is too messy. Is it because the big boss is just trying to confuse us before starting? It's a color and a maze. Now it's a mystery to even open the window." Wei Dong scratched his head, feeling his head Six laps bigger.
Zhu Haowen said calmly on the side: "According to the various hints in the painting, this painting should have strict logic, but we haven't found the main line yet."
Zhu Haowen turned his attention back to Mu Yiran, looking forward to the answer given by the other party.
"Can we understand it this way, that thing, I want to call it a shadow for the time being, that shadow can go in and out of any place freely, because the shadow is inherently formless." Mu Yiran expressed his thoughts, "We The entire room was once shrouded in darkness, which means the entire castle was under his control."
Everyone is still puzzled: "Then why do you need to use us people to open the window?"
Mu Yiran didn't care about being interrupted, and continued: "The purple bedroom didn't open the window, but Ye Ningchenyi was killed, which means that the shadow can kill people through the window, no matter Ye Ningchenyi or He Yu, They must have been killed by their windows.
"The reason why it has to use the hands of others to open the window means that the shadow cannot control the real thing. This needs to be done by deceiving people and asking for help from living people."
Qin Ci still couldn't help interrupting the other party: "Since it can't control the entity, how can it kill people through the window? Living people are entities themselves!"
"This is indeed the most critical point. Once solved, the whole puzzle can be solved," Mu Yiran's tone gradually increased, "The only thing that the shadow can control is the shadow. When the whole room is shrouded in darkness, the huge shadow can To contain the shadow of any of us."
Everyone listened attentively - the only thing the shadow can control is the shadow - which is almost the most standard answer.
"Yan Ran means that what the huge shadow was holding last night was actually Xin Beibei's shadow's neck?!" Ke Xun asked, unable to help but secretly praise Ying Ran's cleverness in his heart.
"Yes," Mu Yiran cast a cool look at Ke Xun, "I don't know what the shadow represents in this world, but in the real world, the shadow and the entity are the same, and it can even be said that the soul Connected - Although it is absurd to say, if the shadow is controlled by someone, then the entity must be implicated and treated the same."
Zhu Haowen fell into contemplation: "We have analyzed before that those who are deceived may be deceived by their shadows."
"This statement is still true. I still think that Xin Beibei's behavior of opening the window was driven by its shadow."
"Then the shadow can directly..."
"The shadow doesn't want to die either," Mu Yiran's eyes became deep and deep, "The shadow of a person is bewitched to do things for the huge shadow, but he doesn't want to die for it, so he will be strangled by the giant shadow and forcibly dragged away. , and at the same time drive the body to leave."
This explains why I saw such a scene on the first night: a huge shadow covered the entire window, the whole room turned black, and then there was only a band-shaped black shadow left in the window, which was actually pulled by Zhang Tianwei The shadow, and then the moon-shaped pattern in front of the window is the body that Zhang Tianwei was forcibly dragged.
The same applies to Xin Beibei. The giant shadow grabbed Xin Beibei's shadow's neck and drove the shadow forward. Xin Beibei's body was dragged by the shadow. Even though he wriggled and struggled, he was forcibly dragged away because of the disparity in suffocation and strength.
All entities appear to be shaky under the drag of the shadow, which is probably due to the inability of the giant shadow to "indirectly control the entity".
"Our shadow is actually the medium of the ultimate giant shadow. It is very likely that we will be tempted to do things for it, and will eventually be turned into a butcher knife that threatens our lives." Mu Yiran's voice was cold, and there was no emotion.
Ke Xun looked at Guo Lixia's trembling shadow, and turned his head to look at her - this person was dumbfounded, as if frightened, and there was no sign of trembling at all.
Ke Xun's eyes turned to Guo Lixia's shadow again, the shadow was shaking slightly, Ke Xun looked at the shadows of other people, but they were all normal and motionless.
Ke Xun took a deep breath, but he couldn't see anything on the surface.
Suddenly there was a slight laugh in the hall, like the kind of sneer that I couldn't help but make.
Everyone was taken aback by the laughter, and looked up at the ceiling and all corners of the hall, trying to find the hidden laughing person.
The NPC's voice suddenly sounded: "Everyone, enjoy the good work! Afternoon tea will prepare blueberry juice and chestnut cake for everyone."
The laughter clearly came from the NPC, and this incident was really creepy, as if everyone's every move could not escape a pair of secretly observing eyes.
In the end, everyone decided to work together and wait for the work to be completed before looking for signatures together.
When Ke Xun was about to walk into the blue door, Mu Yiran's voice came from behind him: "Be careful."
Although these two words are a bit cold, they are sweet, like rock candy.
Ke Xun nodded and couldn't help but look at the innocent Mi Wei who was tied up in the hall: "If it was because I was bewitched, I would feel more comfortable."
It was Mu Yiran and Qin Ci who stayed in the hall to guard Mi Wei.
When Ke Xun returned to the work room, he glanced at Guo Lixia's shadow inadvertently, and found that it had returned to normal.
Guo Lixia was working in obscurity, and was no longer as quick as usual.
In Ke Xun's eyes, Guo Lixia is no longer the old sister Guo, but a person who has been bewitched.
"Sister Guo, don't think too much, you were just a little angry and couldn't control your strength." Ke Xun forced himself to say something comforting.
"Hey, my bowels of regret are turning green," Guo Lixia said with a remorseful expression, "How good a girl, I actually killed you..."
"There is no regret medicine in the world, what we need to do now is to find the signature as soon as possible!" Ke Xun said.
Guo Lixia nodded again and again: "Yes! We can go out when we find the signature! Mi Wei can also go out!"
Ke Xun nodded, but he didn't feel the ingenuity of this bewitching: the person who was bewitched did not change his original character, but was suddenly enlarged to a certain point when he was needed, and then the person would change. become a devil.
"Sister Guo, rest, you'd better keep your wrists." Ke Xun was working on his hands, and glanced out the window, "What are you talking about hiding in that maze, we clearly heard something else in the maze today. The sound of footsteps, to whom does that footstep belong?"
"There are other people in the labyrinth? It's really creepy." Guo Lixia didn't stop working, she was now picking off the leaves of those blue berries, "Don't you mean the murderer is a shadow? Can shadows appear in the daytime? ?"
Ke Xun tried his best not to look at Guo Lixia, so as not to reveal his purpose in his eyes. At this time, he lowered his head and put those berries into the glass jar: "I also find it strange, if the murderer is really a shadow, how can the shadow move? It's just the entity that drives it."
However, Guo Lixia denied Ke Xun's statement: "You are wrong. If the shadow has a real body, then he doesn't have to rely on us to open the window for him."
Ke Xun suddenly felt that the conversation between himself and Guo Lixia was a bit funny, because he now regarded the other party as a shadow, but the other party showed the full sister Guo style.
"Last night I saw a person in the labyrinth by the window. It was a living person. It's a pity that he was so far away that he couldn't see the pattern on the other side's clothes." Ke Xun said.
"Then the person you saw in the maze could be him? If you can hear footsteps, it's not a shadow." Guo Lixia's analysis at this time was quite reasonable.
"At the moment, it seems that what that big shadow makes us do is nothing more than helping it open windows, or secretly polluting innocent people..." Ke Xun emphasized this "secretly", for fear of Guo Lixia's sudden inspiration Now, he understood that his behavior of pushing Mi Wei also belonged to this category.
Guo Lixia suddenly looked at Ke Xun: "Team leader, if someone stops the person who opened the window next to him, can he stop him?"
Ke Xun smiled and said, "I can't stop it. At that time, everyone in the room will feel powerless. They don't even have the strength to get out of bed, let alone stop others."
"There's no way to stop it." Guo Lixia sighed.
"Maybe there is a way," Ke Xun looked at Guo Lixia with interest, "after all, this is our world during the day. I see things like ropes and boards in the hall of the circular building, and there are also many tools in the room of the labyrinth. , we can nail the window by ourselves."
Guo Lixia didn't make the panicked expression that Ke Xun imagined as scheduled, and even showed a bit of admiration at the moment: "This is a good way! Let's nail all the windows!"
Ke Xun continued to work calmly: "Okay, after a while, I will go to nail the windows! Don't worry about shadows getting in or not, at least the living can't be dragged out!"
Guo Lixia's voice was a little hesitant: "I'm afraid we will anger that big shadow, that murderer is so cruel, what if he gets angry and kills us all?"
"Yan Ran said that everyone in the painting must obey the rules, including the boss himself."
