Paintings of Terror - Chapter 376
“What is it?” Ke Xun asked.
“Unexplainable–” Wu You even squatted down, resting his hands on the floor of the altar soaked in blood, and looked down forcefully. “You can only see the place covered by ghost text, so the display is not complete, you can only see Part of… It’s very messy, I, I really can’t tell what it is—”
Wu You shed tears in anxiety, but Ke Xun was still calm, and said solemnly: “Don’t worry, you can talk about it first, is it alive or inanimate?”
Wu You shook his head: “I don’t know… It keeps moving. I can’t see the whole picture. I don’t know if it has a head or a tail. I really don’t know if it is a living thing…”
“Then what color is it?” Ke Xun asked.
“It… it has no color, but I don’t know why I can see it, but I can be sure that it has no color, or, maybe, it is invisible or transparent itself-I don’t know if it’s right. , It is it. It was originally embedded in the rock, but when it moved, the rock where it was located seemed to be erased or hollowed out. What you see is the rock around the part of the rock that disappeared-this It’s so strange that something as hard as the rock was hollowed out by it-but when it was moved away, the part of the lost rock appeared out of thin air… I don’t know if I said this clearly… …” Wu You eagerly, somewhat incoherently, described what he saw.
“I can probably understand it,” Ke Xun said. “Then can you see what shape it is?”
Wu You stared down again for a while, frowned and shook his head: “I can’t see it, it’s very irregular, ever-changing…”
Ke Xun did not ask any more, but looked at other people: “Maybe we can only see this thing after our blood has spread all over the altar. It is not certain whether this thing is a demon, since we say that the demon is a high level in ancient times. Creatures, it is not ruled out that such higher creatures have the characteristics of being invisible or invisible to human eyes. The visible or faintly visible monsters in the tornado pillar are either the reflection of the underground ghosts or different species of the ghosts.”
Following Ke Xun’s words, everyone looked up at the top of their heads, only to see that the monster in the wind body began to hit the wind film again after this period of time passed.
“Even if we dye the altar all over with our own blood, what’s the use?” Shao Ling gritted his teeth and said, “At that time, we are all dead. Who else can see the things under the altar? What can I do?”
Ke Xun did not answer, bent down and stretched out his hand. Before touching the blood of his companions on the ground, he hesitated for a while, and finally pushed his hand down, and then turned around and walked to the side that was not stained with blood. When I reached the blank space, I pressed my palm on it.
Taking away the hand, a blood palm print remained in place, but it was quickly submerged by the blood overflowing from the side, and like other places that had been soaked in blood, it quickly turned into a part of the ghost writing, and the ghost writing brush painting room The crevice becomes blank again.
Ke Xun pressed his blood-dipped palm on the ghost text again. After removing it, he did not confuse the ghost text at all. He tried to swipe his fingers on the ghost text again, but the blood-red ghost text looked like The original color of the rock is the same, so it can’t be scratched.
Wu You, who had been watching his movements next to him, suddenly called out: “Strange–the invisible thing inside the altar–seems to have been following Ke’er!”
When everyone heard the words, they were both surprised and suspicious. They all looked at Ke Xun. However, Ke Xun didn’t have the slightest mood swing, and only turned his head to look at her: “Are you sure?”
“You stand up and take a few steps,” Wu You pointed not far away, “Go over there, don’t go where the ghost text is not covered.”
Ke Xun stood up, walked far away in Yiyan, then circled around, returned to the place, and looked at Wu You with a shocked look. The answer was written in her red and swollen eyes: “Really following me? “
“Yes, but, but it’s not so close.” Wu You squeezed his hair with both hands and forced him to try his best to organize the language calmly and clearly. “It still seems to be chaotic, but it tends to move. The direction you walked in, I’m not sure if this is just a coincidence or something—maybe—maybe it can feel you?”
“You stand still,” Ke Xun said, “Hao Wen’er Shao Zong Qingqing, the four of us are heading in different directions now, Wu You, observe.”
The four people walked in four different directions and made several complicated circles before returning to the original place again.
Wu You affirmed this time and replied a little affirmatively: “It’s just following Ke Er! Although it still looks like it doesn’t follow, but it obviously doesn’t feel to the other three of you, it is inclined to the direction Ke Er is going!”
“Why is this?” Zhu Haowen stared at Ke Xun, “What is there in you that we don’t have?”
Ke Xun threw the backpack on the ground and walked around again.
“It didn’t follow!” Wu You shouted, “——Is it Keer’s backpack?!”
Ke Xun strode back, untied his backpack and took things out.
Rope, flashlight, combination knives, magazines, lighters, photo albums, chocolate boxes…
Ke Xun distributed these to everyone to take a few, and he carried the backpack on his body again: “Walk away again, Wu You stares at it.”
This time Wu You still pointed at him: “Ke Er, it’s still you!”
“What’s left in your backpack?” Shao Ling asked tightly.
Ke Xun pulled open the mouth of the backpack and held it to everyone: “Mobile phone.”
Most of the backpack is full of mobile phones.
It has long been a habit of Ke Xun to install a few more mobile phones into the painting, even if he finally reached the real world Kunlun Shu, he did not leave it behind on this altar.
“Why is it a cell phone?” Everyone hesitated.
“When we were in the painting, they could not recognize the mobile phone. At best, they could only block a few functions according to the content of the painting,” Zhu Haowen thought with eyebrows, “but it is not in the painting now, and even if it is in the painting. Since the mobile phone is not recognized, it can be regarded as an unrecognized existence. Why do things inside the altar focus on the mobile phone?”
Ke Xun was thinking about another question.
Unidentified objects in closed, solid rocks.
It moves, has no color, has no shape, and is invisible.
But it must have volume, because wherever it goes, the rock will be hollowed out, and the hollowed out space is where its body is.
It will hollow out the hard rock, and that part of the rock will reappear after it leaves, indicating that the part of the rock has not been swallowed or removed at all. The rock is always there, just because it is blocked. It seems to have disappeared out of thin air.
Invisible things…can appear in solid rocks…disappear out of thin air…reappear…
Ke Xun raised his eyes suddenly.
“Curator Hua…go.” Qin Ci’s voice suddenly passed in a low voice.
Everyone awoke and followed the sound, but saw that Hua Jiqiu was already in Qin Ci’s arms and quietly closed his eyes.
The blood gurgling from the wound on his abdomen was spreading towards the empty space of the altar. In the wind above the vault above his head, the ugly, disgusting and terrifying monster made a bitter and stern howl, and was forcibly pressed back by an invisible force. With.
When everyone was eager and unconcerned to find out the true body of the unknown object inside the altar, the demon in the wind body once again launched an offensive to break through the human world, and Hua Jiqiu, just like the previous sacrifices Like the companions, quietly and quietly gave their lives at this moment, winning a short buffer for the companions who are still struggling to find answers.
Regrettably, he failed to leave a word for the rest of the people, everyone’s physique is different, he only looked at Mu Yiran at the last moment, like Li Xiaochun.
Mu Yiran is everyone’s last hope. Maybe even if he can’t save these companions, he may, maybe at least find a way to completely end this matter, even if he can’t help the present, he can help the future.
Mu Yi dropped his eyes, his gaze fell on the blood-colored ghost text on the altar floor, motionless, he was still trying his best to mobilize all his logical thinking and knowledge reserves, in the vast and turbulent sea of knowledge, strenuously Looking for a glimmer of light like a needle.
And at this moment, Ke Xun’s voice suddenly resembled a deep-sea whale groaning, empty and far, clear and long, and passed into the ear hole: “I think, I know what the thing in the altar Wu You saw is. “
It is invisible and colorless. It can appear in unthinkable places such as the interior of a solid rock. It can make matter disappear and reappear out of thin air. It has a volume and is powerful enough to swallow any matter.
what is it then?
“It’s’time and space.’” Ke Xun said.
“The invisible thing is time and space, or time and space tunnels, time and space cracks. But the only thing I don’t understand is why it chases the phone like a life consciousness.” Ke Xun’s gaze from everyone’s shocked faces Moving away, she fell to Mu Yiran, who was suddenly raising her eyes and looking at him.
“Why…time and space?” Wu You asked eagerly again.
“The first time I boarded the altar, Yiran and I disappeared all night and reappeared again. It is very similar to the disappearance and reappearance of the rocks inside the altar,” Ke Xun said, “and we didn’t say it before. Now, the time and space here is chaotic.”
“But the rock reappeared soon after it disappeared…” Wu You said.
“Can you be sure that the rock you see is the current rock?” Ke Xun asked calmly. “Maybe the rock that appeared was a rock at a certain moment in the past, or a rock at a certain moment in the future, and this moment The rock may be in other time and space.”
Wu You suddenly opened his red and swollen eyes.
“Ke Xun made sense—” Zhu Haowen was still unable to conceal the surprise on his face. “It is indeed very likely to be a space-time tunnel. The space-time tunnel is invisible but objectively existing, but its opening time and location are not fixed. , Just as Yi Ran said that the chaotic time-space flashbacks in the valley before we boarded the altar, but the space-time tunnel inside the rock platform is relatively stable, although according to Wu You said it is constantly moving— —I think there must be a reason for this!”
“The time and space in Death Valley is chaotic, and the time and space tunnel inside this altar is more vivid and stable. Could this be because of its greater energy?” Shao Ling tried to adjust his emotions and said as calmly as possible, “Because of the two ghosts of Yin and Yang. Wendu works here, and the surroundings of the altar are surrounded by tornado columns. Perhaps, the altar is also the place where the underground magnetic field is the strongest. Several material fields are concentrated at one point—the altar here, so it generates a lot of energy. Big space-time tunnel?”
“I think this space-time tunnel can not only exist inside the altar.” He was speaking with an unprecedented certainty. Mu Yiran, who walked towards this side, immediately looked at him together. He, with endless trust and expectations.
“It will come out of the altar at a certain moment. This moment may be disorderly, random, or even if it is regular, we have no way of knowing it. The last time it came out, it happened. I was caught up by Ke Xun and I, so it went from night to early morning in an instant.” Mu Yiran said.
“So?” Zhu Haowen looked at him and saw the glimmer of light in his eyes.
“So, as you imagined before-we need to find a way to catch it again or make it stick out,” Mu Yiran said very clearly, “Then we go back to the past.”
Everyone was startled upon hearing this.
“Let’s not talk about how to capture or prompt it to probe,” Zhu Haowen looked at him incredulously, “Even if you can enter the time tunnel and go back to the past, how can you seal the town against the ghosts? Our purpose is not to save lives , Is to seal the town of ghosts, if possible, to completely end this matter, we go back to the past, Weidong and the others died here in vain? And don’t forget the time paradox, going back to the past cannot change the current result.”
“Before answering this question, I need Lao Qin to confirm one thing,” Mu Yiran looked at Qin Ci, “Look at the approximate amount of blood lost by Weidong and the others.”
Qin Ci didn’t question or say much. From the moment Wei Dong died, he was silent, watching quietly, or constantly pulling his companions back from the edge of death, and then watching them leave.
He went to inspect the bodies of the sacrificed companions, and then replied to Mu Yiran: “30% to 50%.”
Before Mu Yi could speak, Ke Xun raised his eyebrows first: “But the blood of the five of them has almost covered nearly half of the surface of the altar.”
Ke Xun’s words caused several other people to react suddenly-everyone was eager to think of a way and griefed by the death of their companions before, but for a while, they did not notice the abnormality of this blood.
Five people lost 30% to 50% of their blood. How could it be possible to cover half of such a large altar? !
“To be exact, the bleeding of the four people covered nearly half of the area,” Mu Yiran pointed to Li Xiaochun, “Xiaochun’s blood was all concentrated on the edge of the altar. See it, his blood is in the form of a rope pattern. It fits on this side of the altar.”
Suddenly, everyone was shocked, staring at the blood side of the altar together, then turned back together to look at Xiang Mu Yiran, waiting for his answer.
