Paintings of Terror - Chapter 307
“Xiao Shao’s analysis is very detailed,” Qin Ci nodded, “I also think it should be more detailed, maybe we have entered the fourteen paintings, each painting provides us with different hints, we Don’t ignore more clues just to find common ground in each painting.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“Perhaps “Animal World” implied the substitution of the weak and the strong and the species replacement mentioned by Shao Ge?” Luo Er said and looked at Ke Xun. “Brother, do you remember that you mentioned it in “Burning Rhinoceros at Sea” Ever watched the movie “Pacific Rim”?
“Monsters invade the world from the bottom of the sea and kill humans-if they succeed in the end, do you think they look like the cows in “Animal World”? In this painting, cows replace humans as the masters. Their number There will definitely be more and more, until it completely replaces humans and completes the replacement of top species.
“I remember you also said at the time that you feel like a’human’ from another world is slowly invading and replacing us. At first, they only used some lowest-level members to test us, and then they would send high-level members. Continue to test and send a higher level to launch an invasion…
“Brothers and sisters, do you think the fourteen paintings we have entered are the top species sent by the’other world’ to test this world-humans? Once we, the thirteen people who are tempted All failed, will they start a massive invasion because of this?”
Luo Ling shuddered by his own words, and moved his **** to Ke Xun’s side.
“Turnip’s thoughts are very likely!” Ke Xun slapped his leg suddenly, shocking Luo Ling.
“But according to our investigation a few days ago, didn’t the previous batch of painters have been wiped out?” Zhu Haowen said, “According to Luo Ge, the so-called massive invasion would have started long ago.”
“Could the group of people not be annihilated by the entire army, but… have they all succeeded?” Ke Xun’s eyes flashed, and everyone was attracted by this statement, looking at him together, “They all succeeded. Of the last thirteen people, one of them passed the level without dying, and then prevented the invasion of another world. It was not until nearly a hundred years later that the power of that world could come back, so we selected people were like these again. Like the predecessors, it takes one person to pass the customs without damage to suppress that force again?”
This statement suddenly made everyone very excited-if the previous batch of painters did not die-it is really gratifying and encouraging!
“In any case, at least the clues implied by the painting “Animal World” should be what the turnip said,” Qin Ci said, “it implies an invasion by another species, or another absolute force, and an attempt to replace us. The world you are in.”
Everyone looked at each other, this statement made people a little confused.
I thought that the incident of entering the painting was just a small-scale weird and terrifying incident among thirteen people. I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect that it might affect the survival of the real world.
But everyone is limited by the power behind the scenes, unable to tell this matter to anyone other than thirteen people. A crisis of world magnitude is the only one to carry.
Can you really hold it?
There is no superhero in this world.
There are just ordinary people like them who have been forced to drive ducks.
Everyone was slightly uplifted just now, but now they are pressing down again.
“About the hint of “Pure Land”, I do have an idea.” Ke Xun is always the first person to cheer up again. “In that painting, each of us chose the same props. These props are the same as ours. Destiny or the method of death is closely related. Do you think these props are a bit like our bones?”
A word to wake up the dreamer, everyone is shocked.
“For example, I, Yiran and Mr. Shao, the bones on their bodies are all twine-like patterns, just like the headdresses of rabbit ears, cat ears, and dragon horns, and all of you are the patterns in the “Shan Hai Jing Tu” And the patterns on your bodies are also different. This is like swords, pens, clothes, and cornucopia–does it look like we were forced to pick one of the props for customs clearance?”
“–Props!” Wei Dong gave a high-five, “That’s right! Our bones are the clearance props forcibly arranged for us by the behind-the-scenes force of the painting. The level to be used to clear is the total level of the entire painting event. We The bones of his body will definitely play a vital role at a certain moment!”
Ke Xun’s guess made everyone excited and frightened. They adjusted their emotions for a while before continuing.
“If the painting “The Scarlet Beast” does not imply two worlds, perhaps this setting inside and outside the city will have something to do with clues.” Qin Ci said that this painting is probably an impression for him The most profound one.
He almost stayed in the painting and didn’t want to come out again, and when he was in the world in the painting, the strange and peaceful mentality and sense of belonging he produced made him feel a little bit of yearning and disapproval in addition to the lingering fears afterwards. Home.
This painting has a profound impact on him.
“Remember the news that we heard on the radio when we walked into the cave where the signature was located just before we were about to leave the painting?” Qin Ci still remembers every detail of this painting. Several old members shook their heads and continued, “It is mentioned in the news that the group of beasts taken by Su Benxin was intercepted by the local police. Among them, the trigram elephant beast was said to be a nutritious beast urgently needed by the secret beast outside the city. It is mentioned that if criminals succeed in smuggling that batch of beasts, the consequences will be disastrous, and Xincheng is very likely to fall again…”
“——The hexagram image!” Ke Xun opened his eyes wide. “You said, does this have something to do with our bones?”
“I think it’s related.” Zhu Haowen licked his lips, as if his emotions were fluctuating. “The red marks on some of us in that painting have the same meaning as the bones, and it happens that the bones of our bodies are familiar. The people of Yin-Yang art can see that it is a kind of props, but it has become one with us like the “Pure Land”, turning us into the’Trigram Elephant Beast’…”
“Then, the’nutrition beast urgently needed by the secret beast outside the city’ means…” Wei Dong’s voice was dry, “We people, it is likely that the power behind the scenes… food?”
“Or it can be said that it is a sacrifice.” Mu Yi suddenly said, “The “Shanhai Jingtu” is a witch map used in ancient times when wizards worship ancestors, call souls, send souls, and perform sacrificial offerings to heaven and earth. Then Those of us are probably living sacrifices.”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked and speechless.
Wei Dong remembered the tragic death of those who became the sacrifices of Heizietian in “Faith”. He couldn’t help shivering and his voice became even more hoarse: “Then, the fall of the so-called Heart City, does it imply that we are The world will fall. In other words, when we become sacrifices, that’mysterious beast’, that is, behind the scenes of the painting, will have sufficient power to make this world fall after absorbing nourishment?”
“…It’s kind of flattering us,” Ke Xun twitched his mouth. “We are just randomly selected experimental products. After screening, can we have such a great ability to help paint and push the world upside down?”
“This question may be related to the clues implied by the painting “Schrödinger’s Cat”,” Mu Yiran said. “Human will and mental power are an inestimable force. Maybe paintings and tweets ultimately want to use our , It is not or not just our physical sacrifice. After many tests and screenings, we are at least no longer weak in willpower. This may be what Huatui really wants to use.”
Everyone was silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit low.
When Mu Yiran saw this, his voice was faint but with a soothing tone that was not easily detectable, and said: “Then the remaining painting “Retrojour”, if it does not imply two worlds, perhaps it points to a clue, It can be used to answer the above question that worries us-we all come together to take this step, although this step may be a step backward, but this step backward is to move forward in the longer term. Although this step is backward, it may It is the abyss, but in exchange for eternal light.”
Mu Yiran looked at Ke Xun’s face, and there was light floating in Ke Xun’s eyes, and he instantly understood what he meant.
Ke Xun laughed and looked at everyone: “Look, there will be eternal light, so there is no need to worry too much. All the clues that seem to be unfavorable to us now may be just a temporary’step backward’ for our final victory. The power behind the scenes, in exchange for “eternal light”-completely ended all of this. Since we can come back alive from “Adversity”, we will definitely be able to come back alive from this whole incident and cheer up!”
“——Yes, Team Ke!” Wei Dong shouted in reorganization.
“Brother, I think you are particularly suitable for MLM.” Luo Ling rubbed his ears that were shocked by Wei Dong.
“Fuck off.” Ke Xun said, “Come on, go on, only the hint of “Burning Rhinoceros at Sea” is still a bit vague.”
Everyone cheered up and stared at Shao Ling’s laptop screen.
“I have an idea…” Gu Qingqing said suddenly, “Among the 14 paintings I have entered, it seems that only “Burning Rhinoceros on the Sea” is an ancient painting. Is this also a deliberate act of painting? ?”
“I think this suspicion is a bit reluctant,” Shao Ling said. “It is known that the last group of painters appeared nearly a hundred years ago. At that time, most of the paintings left in our country should be ancient paintings. It is implied that they are ancient paintings. What clues can the last group of painters get from the dozens of ancient paintings?”
“Different eras may have different ways of suggestion,” Ke Xun said. “I agree with the suspicion of the young girl. Otherwise, there are many art museums displaying authentic works of famous artists. Why would we rather let us enter a rubbing painting? Don’t let us get in without getting a genuine painting? It can be seen that this painting itself has an important suggestive effect.”
Shao Ling looked at him for a while, nodded, and said, “Your analytical ability has grown amazingly.”
Ke Xun: “I am really flattered to be praised by President Shao. Come and kiss me.”
Shao Ling: “…” Why don’t I want to praise him.
“Since this painting itself is very important,” Zhu Haowen said, “then the clues it implies are probably related to its own attributes, such as fantasy? Such as monsters? Such as immortality? Another example, age?”
“Year.” Mu Yiran and Shao Ling took over at the same time.
“There is only one ancient painting in all the paintings, and the biggest difference between them is the age.” Mu Yiran said.
“This is a painting by Qin Shi. It is very likely that the hint to us is this time of Qin Dynasty.” Shao Ling said.
“Does this suggestion mean that the origin of the entire painting incident was Qin Shi?” Wu You asked busy.
“Does it really have something to do with Qin Shihuang’s sending people out to sea to find immortals?” Luo Wei also asked hurriedly.
Shao Ling thought for a while, and said, “Qin Shi’s magicians were many, and Qin Shihuang killed more than 460 people. The yin and yang mysteries and mysteries must have flourished in the early stage. I’m afraid we need to check it out. A lot of information, for the time being, let’s assume that the clues pointed to by this painting are related to Qin Shi. Now the clues of the 14 paintings are almost listed. I will summarize them.”
As Shao Ling sorted out clues, everyone got up and moved. Some went to the toilet, some drank water, and some stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to see the hazy sky with snow.
Seeing that it was not early, Ke Xun ordered takeaways for everyone—the crucial stage of tracing clues was in front of him, and he had nothing to worry about cooking for everyone.
I just made a pot of Tieguanyin for everyone and brought it over. Shao Ling’s place has been sorted out. Everyone came together again and saw that there were only simple and clear sonnets on the screen:
“Free Heart Evidence”-the method of cracking a painting requires careful judgment of right and wrong.
“Lingshu”-each painting will point to a clue, and each clue will point to the truth behind the scenes.
“Funny Matters”-the truth behind the scenes is related to witchcraft.
“Faith”-In the painting, there are two forces of good and evil coexisting and playing games with each other.
“Break the Ground”-the power of evil is about to break the ground and come out into the real world.
“Animal World”-the weak and the strong eat, if the evil forces come, we will be reduced to the lower level of the biological chain, replaced by evil forces, and complete the species replacement.
“Shadow”-The power of evil comes from the opposite of the world we live in, just like the relationship between white and black, yang and yin.
“Human Studies”-the power of good or evil in the painting screens the painters, and the strong are left behind.
“Pure Land”-the bones of the people left behind become “props” for customs clearance.
“The Scarlet Beast”-The role of “props” may be the sacrifice of evil forces or the energy source of good forces.
“Burning Rhinoceros on the Sea”-the whole event originated in the Qin Dynasty.
“Adversity”-the way to defeat evil forces: take a step back in order to win.
“Schrodinger’s Cat”-the weapon to seek victory is our will and spiritual power.
“Restart”-If we fail, the whole world will be replaced by a new world, and the universe will be recreated and the world will be turned upside down.
Shao Ling’s summary is not only concise and clear, but also interlocking, and a complete chain of clues emerges clearly.
“This is very clear!” Wei Dong said, “The next thing we have to do is to investigate whether any bizarre incidents occurred during the Qin Dynasty, which can be related to the incident of painting.”
The author has something to say:
Ke Xun: I am really flattered to be praised by President Shao. Come and kiss me.
Shao Ling:…
Yi Ran: Do you still praise him in the future?
Shao Ling: … (Should I answer “boast” or “not boast”? Solve, wait online, urgent.)
