Paintings of Terror

Mu Yiran's words attracted everyone's attention, including Mi Wei who was already desperate.

"From Ke Xun's observation last night, Xin Beibei is constrained by two forces, first is her own shadow, and second is the invisible man restrained around her neck." Mu Yiran's voice was in the extremely quiet hall There is a slight echo.

Everyone was engrossed, only Ke Xun made a small errand: he called his own name really nicely.

Mu Yiran continued: "As you have analyzed before, if these two forces work together, it may be difficult to achieve harmony and unity. In addition, there is another problem that cannot be ignored. Why does this force use the people in the house to open the windows?" ?Since the opponent is so powerful, it shouldn’t be a problem to open doors and windows.”

Shi Zhendong said: "The windows are latched from inside the house, and people outside may not be able to open them."

"But how did Ye Ningchenyi die?" Mu Yiran knew his purple room very well, "Our bedroom has always closed the windows and never opened them."

Everyone hadn't thought about this question. He Yu and Zhang Tianwei lived in the same room before, and one of them, who was confused by the painting, opened the window for the other party just like Xin Beibei, so he let "that thing" into the room.

But the purple room didn't open the window, how did Ye Ningchenyi die?

"This matter is too messy. Could it be that the big boss is just trying to make us dizzy before attacking? It's full of colors and mazes. Now even opening the windows has become a mystery." Wei Dong scratched his head, feeling dizzy. Six laps bigger.

Zhu Haowen said calmly from the side: "According to the various hints in the painting, this painting should have a strict logic, but we haven't found the main line yet."

Zhu Haowen turned his eyes back to Mu Yiran, expecting the answer from 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 shadows are invisible and stateless." Mu Yiran expressed his thoughts, "We All the rooms were once shrouded in black shadows, which means that the entire castle is under its control."

Everyone was still puzzled: "Then why do we need people like us to open the windows?"

Mu Yiran didn't care about being interrupted, and continued: "The purple bedroom didn't open the window, but Ye Ningchenyi was still killed, which means that the shadow can kill people through the window, no matter Ye Ningchenyi or He Yu, They should all have been killed by the window.

"The reason why the window is opened with the help of others is that the shadow cannot control the real thing. For this, we need to seek help from living people by demagoguery."

Qin Ci still couldn't help interrupting the other party: "Since it can't control the entity, how can it manage to kill people through the window? The living person itself is the entity!"

"This is indeed the most important point. Once solved, the whole puzzle can be solved," Mu Yiran's tone gradually increased. "Shadows can only control shadows. When the entire room is shrouded in black shadows, that huge shadow can To contain the shadow of any one of us."

Everyone listened engrossed - only shadows can be controlled by shadows - this is almost the most standard answer.

"Yiran means that what was strangled by that huge shadow last night was actually the neck of Xin Beibei's shadow?!" Ke Xun asked, and couldn't help secretly praising Yeran'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 is the same as the entity, and it can even be said that the soul Connected—Although the statement is a bit absurd, if the shadow is controlled by someone, then the entity will definitely be implicated by it and suffer the same treatment."

Zhu Haowen fell into deep thought: "We have analyzed before that those who are bewitched may be bewitched by their shadows."

"This argument is still valid. I still believe that Xin Beibei's behavior of opening the window was driven by her shadow."

"So the shadow can directly..."

"The shadow doesn't want to die either," Mu Yiran's eyes became darker, "The human shadow is bewitched to do things for that huge shadow, but it doesn't want to die for it, so it will be strangled by the giant shadow and dragged away forcibly." , and at the same time drive the physical body to leave.”

This explains why we saw such a scene on the first night: a huge shadow covered the entire window, and the whole room turned black, and then there was only a band-shaped black shadow left on the window, which was actually pulled by Zhang Tianwei The shadow, and then the moon-shaped pattern passing by the window, is Zhang Tianwei's body being dragged forcibly.

The same applies to Xin Beibei's body. The giant shadow grabbed Xin Beibei's shadow's neck and drove the shadow forward. Xin Beibei's body was dragged by the shadow.

All entities appear crumbling under the drag of the shadows, which is probably due to the inability of the giant shadows to "indirectly control entities".

"Our shadow is actually the medium of the ultimate giant shadow. It is likely to be tricked into doing things for it, and eventually it will be turned into a butcher knife that threatens our lives." Mu Yiran's voice was cold, without any emotion.

Ke Xun looked at Guo Lixia's trembling shadow, and unconsciously turned his head to look at her—this person was stunned, dazed as if frightened, without any trace of trembling at all.

Ke Xun's eyes turned to Guo Lixia's shadow again, that shadow was obviously trembling slightly, Ke Xun looked at other people's shadows again, but they all remained motionless normally.

Ke Xun gasped, but nothing could be seen on the surface.

There was a sudden burst of slight laughter in the hall, like the kind of sneer that could not be restrained.

Everyone was startled by the laughter, looking up at the ceiling and every corner of the hall, trying to find the hidden laugher.

The voice of the NPC suddenly sounded: "Everyone enjoy the wonderful work! Afternoon tea will prepare blueberry juice and chestnut cake for everyone."

The laughter clearly came from an NPC, which 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 after finishing the work, they went to find the autograph together.

When Ke Xun was about to walk into the blue gate, Mu Yiran's voice came from behind: "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's because of being bewitched, I feel better."

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 casually glanced at Guo Lixia's shadow, and found that it had returned to normal.

Guo Lixia buried herself in her work in obscurity, no longer talking fast as usual.

In Ke Xun's eyes, Guo Lixia is no longer the former sister Guo, but a bewitched person.

"Sister Guo, don't think too much, you were just a little angry at the time, and you couldn't control your strength." Ke Xun forced himself to say comforting words.

"Hey, my intestines are green with regret," Guo Lixia showed an expression of incomparable remorse, "What a girl, she was actually killed by me..."

"There is no regret drug 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 if we find the autograph! Mi Wei can go out too!"

Ke Xun nodded, but he couldn't feel the ingenuity of this kind of bewitchment in his heart: the bewitched person did not change his original personality, but was suddenly enlarged to a certain point when he was needed, and at this time the person would change. into the devil.

"Sister Guo, you should rest, your wrist should be raised." Ke Xun was working on his hands, and his eyes glanced out of the window, "What do you think is hidden in that maze? We obviously heard something else in the maze today. footsteps, who do those footsteps belong to?"

"Is there someone else in the maze? It's really creepy." Guo Lixia didn't stop working, she was picking off the leaves of those blue berries, "Didn't you say that the murderer is a shadow? Can shadows appear during the daytime?" ?”

Ke Xun tried not to look at Guo Lixia, so as not to reveal his purpose with his eyes, then 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 by itself? It must be driven by the entity."

Guo Lixia denied Ke Xun's statement: "You are wrong, if the shadow has a substance, 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 style of Guo Lixia.

"I saw a person in the labyrinth by the window last night. He was a real person. Unfortunately, he was far away and couldn't see the pattern on the other person's clothes clearly." Ke Xun said.

"Then the person you saw in the maze, could it be him? If you can hear footsteps, then it's not a shadow." Guo Lixia's analysis at this time is quite reasonable.

"At present, what that big shadow asks us to do is nothing more than helping it open windows, or secretly polluting innocent people..." Ke Xun emphasized this "secretly", lest Guo Lixia suddenly With a flash of inspiration, he realized that his behavior of pushing Mi Wei also fell into this category.

Guo Lixia suddenly looked at Ke Xun: "Leader, if someone is blocking the person who opened the window, can you stop him?"

Ke Xun chuckled: "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."

"Then there's no way to stop it." Guo Lixia sighed.

"Maybe there is a way," Ke Xun looked at Guo Lixia with great interest, "After all, this is our world during the day, I see that there are ropes and wooden boards in the hall of the circular building, and there are many tools in the room of the maze. , we can nail the windows up by ourselves."

Guo Lixia did not show the panicked expression that Ke Xun imagined, and even showed some admiration at the moment: "This is a good idea! We will nail all the windows!"

Ke Xun continued to work calmly: "Okay, after a while, I'll nail the windows! Don't worry about whether shadows can get in, at least living people can't be dragged out!"

Guo Lixia's subsequent voice hesitated again: "I'm afraid that we will anger that big shadow, that murderer is so ruthless, what if we get angry and kill us all?"

"I have said that everyone in the painting must abide by the rules, including the boss himself."
