Paintings of Terror

"Could it be that the number is taken in a connected manner? Try another one." Qin Ci turned his head and looked at the newcomers behind him, "Who will come next?"

But no one came forward, Xu Zhen looked at Mu Yiran and Ke Xun: "Since it has been confirmed that the number cards are arranged in the order of consecutive numbers, I don't think there is any need to try again, it is better to use these two cards first. Number cards to see what they do."

Ke Xun glanced at Xu Zhen, and hooked the corners of his lips.

This woman is quite deep in her thoughts. Just now, she suggested that the old and new male and female members each get a number card. I'm afraid it's just to fool someone to get the number card for experimentation. Once the result is obtained, she will immediately back off and not participate.

"There are only two numbers, and it is not enough to be a sample to verify the rules of number selection." Zhu Haowen said expressionlessly.

"But the reason why we want to take the number is not to find a way to open this iron gate?" Xu Zhen plausibly said, "I think our primary purpose is to open this gate first, and then go to see what's underneath. "

Zhu Haowen seemed too lazy to talk to her anymore, so he reached out and pressed the number-taking button.

A-184.

"It really is a connected number." Several old members looked at each other.

"Don't press it anymore," Xu Zhen couldn't help frowning when she saw the numbers of the three old members linked together, "Why don't you see how to open this door first?!"

No one paid attention to her, Ke Xun took his number card and turned around to look for it on the iron gate, and finally found an instrument similar to a punch card machine on the wall next to the gate.

"Go down and have a look?" Ke Xun turned to look at Mu Yiran.

"En." Mu Yi nodded abruptly, turned to look at Qin Ci, "you stay here first."

Qin Ci understood what he meant and nodded.

Ke Xun put the number card in his hand into the time card machine, and heard a "click", the button in the iron fence door seemed to be opened, Ke Xun stretched out his hand and pushed, accompanied by the sound of "squeak" rusty iron, The fence gate opened.

"In this case, can we enter the door without taking the card?" Xu Zhen said upon seeing this.

"Then do you want to come in?" Ke Xun looked back at her with a half-smile, and gestured to invite her in.

Xu Zhen closed her mouth.

Although the iron gate has been opened, showing that anyone can enter at will, Mu Yiran still uses the number card he obtained to insert it into the punch card machine, and there is also a "click" sound, as if it has been recognized and confirmed.

Zhu Haowen didn't speak, but punched the card in the same way, followed Ke Xun and Mu Yiran into the iron gate, and just after he entered the gate, the iron gate seemed to be blown by the wind, " "Crack" and shut it again.

The three people who entered the door turned back in unison when they heard the sound, and saw that everyone outside the door looked at them with complicated expressions on their faces. Xu Zhen's eyes even seemed to be looking at three dead people.

There is a fence door, the two groups of people inside and outside the door suddenly seem to be isolated in two worlds, but I don't know which of these two groups of people is in the Yang world, and which group is in the underworld. .

The three people inside the door didn't stay long, they turned back in unison without any hesitation or flinching, calmly and resolutely walked down the narrow and cramped stairs into the endless darkness.

The stairs were indeed very narrow, a man as tall as Ke Xun could only pass by one person, so the three of them had to line up, with Ke Xun at the head, Mu Yiran in the middle, and Zhu Haowen at the end.

Ke Xun used his mobile phone to illuminate the light, but the dim light could only illuminate a distance of less than one meter in front of him. There were countless dust and microorganisms flying under the light, like snowflakes on an old-fashioned black and white TV when there is no signal.

This kind of visibility does not have any effect, but makes the darkness around the body appear more oppressive and dense. The cramped walls on both sides seem to be constantly squeezing towards the narrow stairs in the middle. The darkness rushed towards him as if it had substance, and breathed out a layer of Mao Cen-cen's touch on his body.

The steps of the stairs under the feet are narrow and steep, and the cement cement on the surface of the steps is not smooth enough, so it is very difficult to walk, and this staircase has to turn every few steps, in a spiral downward style, so that there is always a person in front of him. Blocked by a brick wall, it is suffocating and depressing.

Such a narrow and cramped space is really uncomfortable for Ke Xun, who has long hands and long legs. If this feeling of being unable to move his legs or arms continues, it will make people feel like they are being held tightly by iron hoops. Feeling aggrieved in the muscles and bones, after walking for a while, Ke Xun felt that the muscles all over his body began to swell.

From this to the other, Ke Xun thought that for Mu Yiran, who was no shorter than him, the feeling of going all the way down this place must be no better than him. He was about to stop to let the three of them relax, but Mu Yiran suddenly said in a deep voice, "Stop for a second, there are words on the wall."

Ke Xun stopped, and together with Mu Yiran and Zhu Haowen held up their mobile phones to take pictures on the wall.

This is an old-fashioned red brick wall, with only a layer of cement on the outside, not even powder paint. Due to the age, large pieces of cement have fallen off, exposing the faded red bricks inside.

Where the cement has not fallen off, there are some deep and shallow handwritings all over. The strokes of these handwritings are very thick, and the color of the strokes is very dark, but the color is almost invisible at the end of each stroke.

The color of the handwriting is difficult to distinguish under dim light, and it looks like khaki or dark brown.

The three carefully identified the writing on the wall, which came from different times and different people.

--devil!All devils!They are all devils!

—Let me die, let me die, let me die.

--help me!help me!

- Don't come in, don't come in, don't come in...

——kill you!I want to kill you!Kill them all!kill!

The three of them didn't speak for a while, and finally Mu Yiran broke the silence: "These words are all written with fingers. As for the paint dipped in, I think it should be blood."

As he spoke, he pointed to a lower position below the handwriting.

Ke Xun and Zhu Haowen moved the light of the mobile phone there, and saw densely packed, full of fingerprints.

These handprints are big or small, fat or thin, the small ones are only the size of a baby's palm, and the thin ones are obviously owned by old women with white hair and chicken skin.

Every handprint was wet, as if it had been dipped in thick paint.

"It feels like entering a concentration camp for prisoners." Zhu Haowen said quietly, "The walls are full of pain and resentment."

"I want to know how this kind of baby's handprints are left." Ke Xun stared blankly at the bloody handprints below.

"We can continue." Mu Yiran said calmly, "Hurry up."

Ke Xun continued to lead, and accelerated the speed of descending the steps. He went down so quickly. After walking for half an hour, the soles of his feet finally landed on a flat ground.

Perhaps it was because they were walking in a narrow stair passage, and the oxygen supply in the air was not enough. After landing, the three of them all had tinnitus and faint headaches. Zhu Haowen's condition was worse, and his physical condition was not as good as that of Ke Xun and Mu Yiran, walking down the long and steep stairs, his legs were already weak, and he couldn't stop holding his waist and panting heavily.

"Haowen'er, you're not strong enough," Ke Xun patted him on the back, "Why don't you just wait here, and Yiran and I will go ahead and have a look."

Zhu Haowen raised his head and looked forward with the light of the phone.

Here is another long and narrow corridor. On both sides of the corridor, there are also rooms with opposite doors. On the door of the room, the words "Project A Experimental Area" and "Project B Experimental Area" are printed.

"Go and check the room. I'm here staring at the corridor. I'll call out if I have any questions. If you hear it, don't dawdle and come out immediately." Zhu Haowen said calmly.

"If you have any questions, just run up while shouting, don't wait for us." Ke Xun added.

"Yes." Zhu Haowen glanced at him, "I'm not you, I cherish my life."

Ke Xun laughed, winked at him, and walked forward along the corridor with Mu Yiran, holding up his mobile phone.

There is also a punch card machine outside the door of the experimental area. Ke Xun inserted his number card into it casually, but there was no movement for a long time. He took it out and inserted it again, but there was still no movement.

"What's the situation?" Ke Xun looked at Mu Yiran.

Mu Yiran looked at the sign on the door, and pointed to the door next to him with his chin: "This is the experimental area of ​​project B, go and try the door of the experimental area of ​​project A."

Ke Xun said in the past, inserted the number card, and heard a "click".

Zhu Haowen stood at the stairs to calm down, looking at Ke Xun who was surrounded by dim light in the corridor. In such a thick darkness, this man's face was strangely clear. He had thin eyelids and thick eyes. The eyelashes cast crescent-shaped shadows on the wall beside her.

Most people can't stand the light shining upward from the bottom of the face. The shadows caused by the undulating contour of the face will make the whole face look like a ghost mask.

But this man is not.

The light from the mobile phone shines from below, flowing smoothly across his cheeks, only drawing smooth shadows on the lips, nose and eyes.

It made him look a little... like a husky.

Zhu Haowen clicked on the V letter on the phone. Although there is no signal or traffic, it should still be possible to change the note on the V letter.

After changing the "Corgi" in the friend list to "Husky", Zhu Haowen accidentally clicked on the camera app.

Ke Xun and Mu Yiran in the camera screen are opening the door of the test area of ​​Project A and stepping in. At the bottom, a gray baby's arm protrudes from the door and grabs Ke Xun's trouser leg .

Ke Xun and Mu Yiran didn't stay in the test area of ​​Project A for too long. When the two came out, Zhu Haowen was looking for clues on the wall with his mobile phone.

"What did you find?" Zhu Haowen asked.

"A weird room," Ke Xun said while gesturing, and the three of them walked up the stairs. "It looks like a baby's room. There are a few cribs in it, and the storage cabinets are full of baby products, but The strange thing is that there are some small cages in the room besides these things."

"For babies?" Zhu Haowen asked.

"No," Ke Xun shook his head, "The cage is so small that it can only hold hamsters, and the largest one can hold a rabbit. In addition, there are tools such as whistle, awl, and hammer. All these things together are quite Violation."

"Indeed," Zhu Haowen thought, "Small cages, tools, baby supplies, these three things are in the same room, which is very confusing. But since the room is called the experimental area of ​​Project A, what experiments can be done with these things? "

"I can't think of it at all," Ke Xun said. "If it weren't for not finding tools like knives and axes, I would even have thought of the insane possibility of dismembering a baby, and there was no blood in that room."

"I think," Mu Yiran said suddenly, "If you want to know the relationship between these things and the content of the cracking experiment, you can only get further clues by opening all the rooms in the experimental area."

Ke Xun looked up.

This means that the remaining people must also get a number card, and go down to the experimental area to open the corresponding door.

The worst thing is that the number cards are issued in the order of the connected serial numbers, that is to say, the number cards for the experimental area of ​​the project B will be developed only after the number cards for the experimental area of ​​the project A are issued.

Therefore, no one should expect that random number cards can be issued to all experimental areas in the hands of the first few people, so that the people behind will not be able to use the number to enter the door.

If you want to get all the clues, you must be able to enter all the rooms in the experimental area. If you want to enter the room, you must get the number cards of all the rooms.

Ke Xun felt that if his expectations were correct, in order to ensure that everyone had to get a number card, the door number card for the last experimental area would only appear in the hands of the last person with the number card.

In other words, the last person to get the number card can only work alone.
