Chapter 59: The conjecture of the portrait of death

Views:

The crowd listened to the sound of the quartz clock behind them echoing in the corridor, breaking the silence of midnight. Everyone will wait and see the actions of Wuming and others, the success or failure will depend on this.

It's finally twelve o'clock at midnight!

None of the three people who should walk out tonight stepped out of the room, but chose to wait a few minutes more cautiously. Twelve o'clock at midnight is a critical time. To be safe, let's see if the surrounding environment has changed.

Xu Lang wanted to poke his head out to see if there were portraits on the walls of the corridors on both sides, but he was not sure whether going out with his head counted as walking out of the room. Xu Lang, who was cautious, would not do such an ambiguous behavior in the task.

Li Feng even took a wait-and-see attitude. He understood that he would have to walk out of the room tonight, but he must not be the first one to walk out. After all, he could not completely trust Xu Lang.

About ten minutes later, Xu Lang looked at his watch. There was no abnormality in the corridor, including the entire castle, so he whispered to the door: "Everyone, you can act now. Be careful."

The three outgoing people who were instructed looked horrified. Li Feng still did not move.

Zhu Zixing took a few deep breaths, his emotions had become stable, and he raised his head and calmly prepared to step out of the room.

But at this moment, the nameless voice replied in the corridor: "Don't move, let me be the first to test. Once there are police, you just abandon me."

Xu Lang nodded his head without failing, Wuming was meticulous, and indeed only he was the first to walk out of the room is the most appropriate way, but he himself took the greatest risk in this action, Xu Lang didn’t say it before. Humanitarian, try not to squeeze out all his values.

But at the moment Wuming was able to recognize and execute this on his own, Xu Lang's impression of him was even more improved. Remember URL

Zhu Zixing's legs, which had been in the air, retracted again, and turned his head to think that Wuming's proposal was the most reasonable. Wuming was the most direct verifier in the action tonight. If he walks out of the room door, the appearance of the evil spirit old man means that it is a dead end to get out of the room door at midnight, otherwise, everyone can carry out the next step.

After trying to understand the reason, Zhu Zixing said with some gratitude: "Okay, pay attention to safety."

Li Feng didn't say a word, which seemed to him to be the case. It is the best situation for Li Feng to make a simple test for them.

After Wuming finished speaking this sentence, he threw the cigarette butt in his hand towards the door, he stepped on it without hesitation, and in the next second he appeared in the middle of the corridor.

Everyone held their breath, and Lu Xiaozhi in the room also put his ears to the door, listening closely to the movement outside the door.

One second, two seconds, half a minute, one minute, namelessly looking around, even standing at the railing and looking towards the 4th floor, but the inside of the castle remained quietly as usual.

Zhu Zixing was overjoyed. It seems that there should be no problems with his actions tonight. He immediately stepped out of the door and walked towards the nameless place.

Li Feng knew that if he didn't go out, he would keep someone talking. He slowly stuck his head out of the corridor and looked around. There was really no movement. He gritted his teeth and walked out of the door to meet the two of them.

After Wuming waited for the round, each took out their flashlights to illuminate the corridor. Although the doors of each room are open, a little light is projected in the corridor, but it is still very difficult to observe the portrait up close.

Of course, Wuming does not need a flashlight because his eyes are different from ordinary people.

The three of them scanned the surrounding walls, and as expected, a series of strange portraits appeared. Everyone's face was hideous and terrifying, and the face of the dead man was terrifying, making Li Feng a little frightened.

Wuming nodded secretly, and whispered to Xu Lang: "The portrait has appeared, and we can start the next step."

When Xu Lang heard this, he replied, "Be careful, ensure safety, and don't touch those portraits."

Anonymous nodded, watching the other two people already in place, and directly commanded and said: "The portrait of Jiang Hui should be on the 3rd floor. The corridor is not long. Let's go straight in and look for it."

Because he had already observed the arrangement of the portraits, they were placed in the depths of the corridor in chronological order. If the portraits of Jiang Hui and Ruan Fei would appear, they must be in the deepest part of the corridor.

Wuming took the lead and Li Feng was in the middle. After Zhu Zi awakened, he began to search inward.

Three figures in the dark castle and long corridor started searching after midnight. Li Feng didn't dare to look at the portraits on the wall with his torch. He just scanned back and forth, always vigilant about the surroundings, his face turned pale.

Still performing tasks outside in the gloomy atmosphere, the pressure can be imagined. But as the last of the team, Zhu Zixing faces even more pressure.

In the mission, the person who has always been the person behind the team is the most dangerous, because once they disappear, the person in front can't be found in the first time. Quietly killed by evil spirits, this situation abounds.

It's just that now, Zhu Zixing is still in a state where he has not triggered a dead end. Although his heart is a little hairy, he does not have too much fear. And he still forced himself to look at the terrifying portraits on the wall.

He knew that these things were one of the clues that belonged to this mission.

Hidden during the day and only appeared after midnight, the portrait must indicate something. Looking over this way, Zhu Zixing could clearly recognize a pattern.

That is, the deeper you go, the closer the time of death on the portrait is to the present.

For example, in the portrait of a woman he saw just now, the engraving message on the frame is already "March 2, 2016", which is only less than two months away.

Zhu Zixing looked at the portrait suspiciously, and couldn't help but slow down and fell into thinking.

Xu Lang talked to him before in small talks, all the places where the missions appeared were fictitious, or belonged to overhead reality. The previous Jingming Building and Orange Bay Plaza did not exist in real life after later inquiries.

Even if there is this place, it is not like the mission said that evil spirits are everywhere.

However, in this ancient Antai castle, there are real portraits that are close to real time. It can be imagined that this ancient castle was still open not long ago, attracting outsiders to booby and kill.

So, in the real world, does such an old castle really exist

Looking at the timekeeping portraits with such precise time, Zhu Zixing couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart. The more he explored the secrets of the castle, the more the atmosphere around his body made him feel dull and depressed, as if something was being held down. His chest made him breathless.

I couldn't help but looked up and looked around. Wuming and Li Feng were already not too close to him, and they could only vaguely see them. Zhu Zixing felt a little scared, and hurriedly pursued them.

At this moment, Wuming stopped suddenly, staring at the wall in front of him.

The dark red wallpaper in the front is like a wall stained with blood and dried up. Two lifelike portraits are hanging on it.

The huge portrait on the left is a head of a woman with messy hair and distorted features. The background is the room she lives in. She leaned on her and stared her eyes round as if she saw something incredible and terrifying.

I have to say that the portrait is extremely real and detailed. Observing Jiang Hui's death portrait without a name, there is even a feeling that he is standing in front of Jiang Hui, and Jiang Hui's horrified eyes are staring at him like this, revealing the difficulty. Believable.

The portrait on the right is Ruan Fei. There is only the upper body on the portrait. It looks like he is about to fall, his face is frightened, and it is also the scene before his death.

Both Li Feng and Zhu Zixing came over, carefully observing the two portraits of their teammates when they were killed. Zhu Zixing looked at the tragic death of the two in a sense of unnaturalness, and didn't have much thought to observe for a while.

Li Feng was here to take the form, and he felt that he confirmed that the portrait of Jiang Hui had completed the task here, and there was no need to go into it, so he also didn't pay attention to the content of the portrait.

Anonymous, and carefully looked at the engraving information on the mirror frame. As expected, like all portraits, the strength of the engraving is exactly the same as the font, as if it were a mechanical engraving.

The bottom of Jiang Hui shows "No. 41, Jiang Hui, entered at 12:47 AM on May 1, 2016", while the bottom of Ruan Fei shows "No. 42, Ruan Fei, on May 1, 2016. Enter at 12:36 in the morning."

Wuming looked at the engraved message and thought that it turned out that the message under the portrait was not the time when the evil spirits killed them, it turned out to be the time to tell the name!

Could this line of characters be carved when the old man knew the name of the executor? If this is the case... Is that the old man has predetermined their death

Then, under the empty picture frames in the rooms of Lu Xiaozhi, Xu Lang, and Cheng Guoguo, who are also known by their names, will they also have engravings!

However, since the old man has planned their deaths, why wait for the next day to kill people... I think of leaving the room at midnight and being pretended to be warned by the old man, and then thinking of Jiang Huihe Ruan Fei two people in the daytime.

Wuming suddenly raised his head, it turned out to be like this!

Wrong, Xu Lang was wrong, all of us were wrong!

From the beginning, there was only one condition for evil spirits to kill, and that was not to tell the name!

There are no other dead ends!

As long as the elder knows the name, it is bound to die, and the conjecture that triggers a double dead end is the conspiracy of evil spirits.

The evil spirit old man can only kill in the daytime, and he took advantage of the common ground that Jiang Hui and Ruan Fei had seen in the mirror, and deliberately let off Lu Xiaozhi, in order to mislead the executors into thinking that there were multiple death rules in this mission.

Only when two dead ends are triggered will be killed by the old man. This is to paralyze the executors and at the same time conceal the rule that evil spirits cannot kill at midnight!

Xu Lang has already triggered a mortal situation, as long as the time passes tonight, the moment the sun shines into the castle, he will undoubtedly die! (End of this chapter)
