Third-rate Thriller Novelist

Chapter 19: Disappearing portraits (3)

Views:

With a canine face and claws, sounds like high-pitched barking and rapid crying...

Shen Yu threw the book away: "What did you think of?"

Yue Ze: "The big dog that Mr. Bard is following."

"I thought so too at the beginning." Shen Yu smiled, "It's a pity, but after thinking about it later, that big dog is too old to bark, its eyes are blind and its teeth are blunt, so is it really capable of eating people? ?”

Yue Ze shook his head: "Anyway, be careful with Bud, his name is different from the name of the town."

"Lies town, lies, lie town;"

"Bad, Bard, means a person who is very happy and likes to raise livestock."

During the discussion, time passed quickly, and in the following day, no one found any valuable clues.

The house has food stores, enough to feed everyone for three days, and warm, comfortable beds.

Although it is not sure whether there is danger lurking, but the danger hidden in the town outside may be greater, everyone unanimously decided to spend the night in this small villa.

After crying for a long time, the three girls finally realized that it was futile. They couldn't leave here, so they could only accept the reality helplessly, and the three of them went to sleep in a group.

As for Xie Junfei and Zhang Keke, they occupied the westernmost room on the second floor of the villa early on.

"I'm sorry, two brothers." Xie Junfei smiled, "My sister likes to look at the scenery, so we sister and brother chose this room."

The westernmost room is next to the cemetery. Once you open the window, you can see the tombstones one after another. Is there a ghostly scenery to see

Shen Yu frowned slightly, but he didn't tell the truth, let the two of them go, and chose a room on the first floor at random.

That room is next to the garden on the first floor, and when the window is opened, there are fragrant flowers.

On the wall of the room, there is also a giant portrait of a girl, with long hair as thick as seaweed, rosy cheeks, and a sweet and moving smile. Two emerald green pupils are fluctuating, and she is looking at the people outside the frame with a smile.

As soon as Yue Ze entered the door, he kept staring at the portrait with thoughtful eyes.

Shen Yu opened his beloved sugar jar again, shook it, and poured out three sweet and cold mints.

This time he was well prepared before entering the novel, and brought a jar full of mints, enough for him to eat for a long time.

In these three days, he can eat to his heart's content, and he doesn't have to count the candy one by one every day like last time.

"What are you looking at?" He chewed a candy and asked curiously.

Yue Ze frowned slightly: "I don't like this portrait, especially her eyes."

He doesn't like all the portraits in this villa, and when he gets along with them, he always feels like a thorn in his back.

"It seems that you don't like looking at beautiful women..." Shen Yu teased, his eyes glanced out of the window inadvertently, but his teasing voice froze immediately.

"Anonymous." He said softly, "There is a woman outside the window, looking at us."

Yoshizawa looked up out of the window.

Out of the dim window, a woman's figure was vaguely reflected, with black dirty long hair hanging over her body, thin face, dry lips, sharp cheekbones, thick blue-black under the eyelids, pale green and pale pupils His face stared at the window motionlessly.

But after being discovered, in an instant, the woman's shadow gradually dimmed outside the window and disappeared.

Outside the window is the garden, Yue Ze opened the window and chased after him, but he searched the garden carefully, but found nothing.

"I didn't see anyone." He said after returning to the room.

This time, Shen Yu stared at the portrait in the room instead.

He said uncertainly: "Anonymous, do you feel that the woman outside the window... is very similar to the person in the painting?"

Same thick black hair, green eyes, pale skin.

It's just that the person in the painting has a cheerful smile and plump and round cheeks, just like a sunflower blooming in the sun.

And the woman outside the window is gloomy and dry, with sunken cheeks and no smile on her face, she is very gloomy.

The two people inside and outside the picture frame are simply the gap between heaven and hell, but they feel similar for no reason.

They waited silently for half the night again, but the woman outside the window never appeared again. The two had no choice but to lie on the bed and rest for the time being.

But after the lights were turned off, in the silent night, there was another sound from under the bed.

"Crunch...crunch..."

It sounded like someone was gnawing flesh and blood, accompanied by the sound of long nails scratching the bed board.

The two who had just fallen asleep had to get up again and simply lifted the bed.

There was nothing under the bed.

But it was probably because the air here was too humid, and even the bed was covered with mildew.

These traces of mold stains are faint, and they look like a lying human figure.

Even Shen Yu couldn't laugh anymore: "Is someone back to back with us?"

But Yue Ze stretched out his slender fingers and brushed the scratches on the bed board: "That's the sound of scratching the bed board just now, but human nails can never scratch such deep marks."

"Then it's a ghoul?" Shen Yu guessed.

But when he inadvertently glanced out of the window again, his tone suddenly became strange: "Anonymous, when you went out just now... did you press your palm on the window glass?"

Although the town of Rice is as warm as spring during the day, the temperature drops sharply in the middle of the night, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is huge.

The outside air is cold, but the room is still warm, so when the hot air is cold, a layer of fine droplets of water condenses on the window glass, which looks like a layer of fog.

But at this time, on the layer of mist, there was an extremely clear palm print.

Yue Ze walked over and looked at it carefully: "The ten fingers are slender, and the palm is thin and small. It looks more like a woman's palm, not what I left just now."

Shen Yu stared at the palm print, and suddenly said: "The palm print on the mist was pressed from the inside of the room."

The mist condensed in the warm room, and only the people in the room could press their palm prints on the glass.

The two of them thought of that gloomy woman at the same time.

"The woman outside the window, if she left the palm print..." Shen Yu's pupils trembled slightly, "What we saw just now was only the reflection of the window glass."

"She has been hiding in this room, staying with us."

At this moment, the black book of the two suddenly warmed up.

The plot has made new progress, but they didn't do anything just now

The two looked at each other in surprise, then opened the book in their hands.

[Seven little detectives came to the small town of Rice.]

[It is said that madmen have great strength.]

[It is said that the body of the dead is heavy.]

[It is said that after a person dies, the nails will continue to grow wildly.]

[It is said that they live above the grave.]

[whee!]

Shen Yu looked at the "hee hee" at the end, and suddenly felt angry.

I really want to beat this poor book!

Meanwhile, in the west room on the second floor.

Xie Junfei has been very irritable and can't fall asleep.

Not only because when they opened the window, they could see countless grave mounds outside the window.

As recorded in the diary, the bed in this room has been covered with bricks, and they rested for half the night, and they have not encountered any strange things or heard any strange sounds.

But there was a faint smell in the room, a smell like rotting raw meat.

But they couldn't find the source of the rancidity.

What is even more disturbing is that there are two paintings, one large and one small, hanging in this room.

The big one, like the portraits in other rooms, depicts a beautiful girl with blue eyes, thick black hair, and the same sweet smile. She also wears a jeweled ring on her finger.

They speculated that the girl wearing the ring in the painting should be the Emily recorded in Bard's diary.

But the other painting looked a little weird.

This smaller painting also depicts a woman, but this woman's face is particularly terrifying.

A large piece of flesh on her cheek was cut off, bleeding miserably, her eyes were opened forcefully, and the cloudy eyeballs seemed to fall out of the eye sockets at any time, her lips were dry and cracked, the veins on her forehead were bulging, and her palms were scratched in the painting. on the frame, as if trying to break free from the frame.

Xie Junfei couldn't figure out why Bud put such a gloomy painting in his bedroom.

"Artists are a little nervous. Maybe this painting is scary in our eyes, but it is beautiful in his eyes." Zhang Keke said impatiently.

"Go to sleep! Get enough energy, we have to continue looking for portraits tomorrow."

Xie Junfei uttered two more complaints, one of the siblings lay on the floor, the other slept on the bed, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Zhang Keke was the first to wake up from his sleep.

Her eyes glanced at the portrait dimly, then she sat up suddenly and let out a scream.

"Ah, something happened... Sis, what's the matter? It's dangerous..." The scream made Xie Junfei shudder, he got up from the floor immediately, and asked vaguely.

Zhang Keke covered his mouth hard, forcing himself to calm down: "Portrait! That horrible portrait last night!"

The portrait of the eerie woman last night... Xie Junfei looked at it in a daze, but suddenly opened his eyes.

Where are the portraits? There was only a small window where the paintings were hung yesterday.

Zhang Keke's body trembled slightly: "Yesterday what we saw was not a painting, but a woman, lying in front of the window, staring at us..."

She couldn't go on.

But Xie Junfei was completely awake, and hurried to the window, checking over and over again: "How is it possible, I checked it carefully last night, it is indeed a painting."

He murmured: "It's really wrong. I thought there was an extra painting in the room, but who knew it was an extra window... Wait!"

He suddenly became excited, and happily pulled Zhang Keke up: "Sister, I thought of it! We have already found out where the missing portrait is!"

Zhang Keke didn't know why, and there was a knock on the door at this time.

"We just heard screams, do you need help?" It was Shen Yu's voice.

Other people in the villa, after hearing the scream just now, came to visit one after another.

"They slept in other rooms, and they didn't encounter any danger last night?" Xie Junfei snorted, "Life is really big!"

Immediately afterwards, he shouted loudly: "Thank you for your concern, we are fine, my sister just encountered a cockroach."

After fooling the people outside the door away, he said excitedly: "Sister, the secret we discovered must be well protected."

"Don't let others know!"

"As soon as we find the portrait, let's go and leave the others in the story."
