Paintings of Terror

Check from west to east.

Pushing open the door of the first room, another dust rushed towards their faces. Fortunately, Ke Xun and Mu Yiran were prepared. They covered their mouths and noses, waved away the dust in front of them, and fixed their eyes on the room. Look.

This is an old-fashioned room. The upper part of the wall is painted with white powder and the lower part is painted with green paint. The wall leather has peeled off due to the age, exposing the brick and cement inside.

Inside the room are old wooden tables and chairs, sloping up and down, covered with thick cobwebs. The window sash is also an old-fashioned open-sash window with a wooden frame. There is dust on the glass, and it is difficult to see the outside scene through it.

Seeing this, the three girls refused to enter the house, but stood at the door. Ke Xun and Mu walked in and carefully searched the house.

Opened the wooden desk drawer, there were scattered office supplies inside. Ke Xun searched for a while, but found nothing useful.

Just search one by one. There are 20 rooms on each floor. The facilities are basically the same. They look like offices. At the end of the corridor, facing the stairs are two toilets. The male toilet is on the east side and the female toilet is on the east. West.

There are no notable clues in the toilet either.

Back in the lobby on the first floor, the first two groups have also returned one after another, and Xu Zhen asked everyone what they had gained.

"There are meeting rooms, warehouses, libraries, archives, offices, and small canteens on the first floor," Qin Ci said. "There are no clues in the meeting rooms, offices, and small canteens. There are a lot of things in the warehouse, library, and archives. We I don’t have time to find it, I need help."

Xu Zhen said: “The second floor seems to be a staff dormitory. All rooms have single beds and wash racks. No suspicious objects or signatures were found. What about the third floor?”

"The entire third floor is an office area, and there is nothing useful to find." Ke Xun said.

"Then we might as well go to the warehouse, library and archives room on the first floor together." Xu Zhen said.

The warehouse is not that big. There are various things in it. There are spare office supplies, various instruments, daily necessities, and even food.

"That's right-what are we going to eat here?" Zhang Hanrui asked suddenly, "The food in these refrigerators is too old, and it must not be eaten."

"Yes, we are going to stay here for seven days. This is an abandoned building. Where do we go to get food?" The two girlfriends also asked quickly.

Everyone seemed to realize this problem only now, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

"The refrigerator is not powered off," Mu Yiran's voice sounded calmly, "The food inside is edible."

"But this is obviously a facility many years ago," Xu Zhen disagreed. "Even if the refrigerator has not been powered off, the food in it has already passed its shelf life."

Mu Yiran glanced at her faintly: "I just saw it. There are white rice and beans in a vacuum package that are intact, below 4.4 degrees Celsius, and the shelf life of white rice can reach 30 years, as well as miscellaneous beans. In addition, edible. There are also those jars of natural pure honey on the shelf. As long as they are properly sealed, pure pure honey is the only food that can be preserved forever."

Xu Zhen had nothing to say.

"Little brother is really good, knows so much!" The three girls praised again and again.

"Stop talking nonsense, look for it!" Xu Zhen's expression was calm.

The things in the warehouse were both messy and messy. After everyone rummaged through them, the sky outside was already dark.

Cai Xiaoyan went to pull the light rope hanging by the door, but the light could not be turned on. It seemed that all the electrical equipment had failed except for those refrigerated cabinets.

"Obviously, the reason why the refrigerator can be used is to provide us with food. This is a deliberate setting of'painting'." Zhu Haowen said blankly, "and other things cannot be used, of course, it is also to satisfy the night The setting of what will happen."

"What will happen at night?" the girls asked with some anxiety.

Zhu Haowen's face is still expressionless, with no intention of pitying and cherishing jade: "There will be deaths in line with the institute's settings and background."

The girls hugged each other in fright.

Qi Qiang, the city man, couldn't bear it, and slammed a thermos bottle to the ground, smashing the pieces to the ground, and said angrily: "I don't care! I'm leaving this ghost place! Go to your mother!"

He rushed out of the warehouse, listening to the sound of footsteps, and ran towards the entrance of the institute directly opposite the hall.

Then soon there was a huge sound of him banging the door. After a long time, seeing him rushing back angrily, there was a hint of surprise on his face: "What's the matter?! Why did the door hit Can't open it?!"

"This is the setting of the painting," Qin Ci told him quietly, "we can only stay in the research institute until we find the signature."

"What a **** **** setting!" Qi Qiang was so angry that he picked up several washbasins and smashed them at the other things on the warehouse shelf.

Several girls shrank into a ball screaming in fright. The screams made Qi Qiang even more annoyed. They pulled over Cai Xiaoyan, who was closest to him, and slapped her face with her hands.

Before this slap fell, he was abruptly blocked by someone grabbing his wrist. Qi Qiang turned his head and saw that he was the tall guy with a very awkward face. He couldn't help but feel evil. Dan Sheng, pushed away the scared Cai Xiaoyan in her hands, and slammed Ke Xun's face with a fist while yelling: "You **** want to die!"

Ke Xun stretched his palm to block the fist as soon as he arrived. He raised his knee and hit Qi Qiang's stomach hard. Qi Qiang bent down with a cry of pain and retched with his mouth open.

Ke Xun let go of his hands and patted him on his shoulders, but his face was cold: "Stop it a bit, you scared the girl."

Qi Qiang was speechless for a while, just squatted on the ground holding his stomach.

Qin Ci ignored the chaos and was discussing with Mu Yiran: "So far, we have got too few clues. According to the past rules, there should be group settings at night, but we still haven't received similar I think it might be something we overlooked."

According to the rule of mortal death every night, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for everyone to be in the same enclosed space.

Mu Yiran thought deeply: "Since the background of the painting is set in the research institute, the focus may be related to the project studied here. Through our search in the three-story building just now, we can find that there is one in this research institute. Quite obvious BUG."

"What's the bug?" Wei Dong asked.

"Since this is the research institute," Mu Yiran raised his eyes and looked at everyone, "Then where is the research room?"

Everyone was surprised. Indeed, in these three floors, there are offices, dormitories, conference rooms, warehouses and even cafeterias, but there is no research room! Isn’t this weird?

"Did we miss something?" Xu Zhen frowned and recalled, "No, this building is obviously a flat floor, there can be no corners."

"Will there be a dark room or something like that?" Wei Dong said.

Mu Yiran shook his head: "No. Ke Xun and I have specifically noticed that the distance between the walls and the thickness of the walls of each room is equal to the length of the corridor outside, and there is no interlayer of secret rooms."

"Where is the basement?" Ke Xun pointed to his feet.

Everyone looked at each other, turned their heads and walked out.

When I came to the stairs at the end of the corridor, I saw cartons, tables, chairs and other debris piled between the stairs and the wall, "We haven't had time to search here yet." Qin Ci said.

A few old members didn't say much, and they immediately moved their hands in a tacit understanding to move these piles of debris aside, and they saw a dark red iron door slowly appearing at the corner of the dark staircase.

"Meow, it's a code lock." Ke Xun glanced at something similar to the turntable lock on a safe next to the door handle, and tried to pull the sliding door first, but it couldn't be opened.

"Is there a password written next to it?" Zhu Haowen asked.

Ke Xun slapped his face and looked at it, making a look of spider silk: "I can't see clearly, it's too dark."

He took the phone out of his pocket and turned on the lighting function.

However, I saw the light from the mobile phone that was supposed to be white, but it was dimly yellow, a bit like the light from an old-fashioned flashlight, hitting the door in darkness.

Zhu Haowen next to him took out his mobile phone and turned it on when he saw it. Seeing that the light beam was also dim, he concentrated on the light of Ke Xun's mobile phone and shone it, so that he could barely see things.

Several people searched carefully with their mobile phones, but unfortunately there was no gain. The pointer of the code lock stayed at the 0 position.

"Go to the desk in the office and look for it," Xu Zhen said. "Usually the password will be recorded in some notebooks or pressed under the glass plate of the desk, even on the desk calendar."

Qin Ci turned his head and looked at the sky outside, then looked at the few newcomers in front of him who could hardly help much, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid it's too late."

"Get away!" Qi Qiang, who was holding his stomach, walked to the top of the stairs without knowing when he viciously pulled away Deng Guang who was in front of him, pushed Wei Dong who was standing by the door, and squeezed to the door. Suddenly crouched down, put his ear on the door, and turned the turntable of the code lock with one hand.

"Howl, on the way." Wei Dong whispered to Ke Xun.

"I can see it." Ke Xun was not surprised at all. "This person is always sneaky when looking at others, and he habitually looks at others' pockets. He is a habitual sneak."

Wei Dong subconsciously took out his trouser pockets, and felt relieved when he saw the phone still there. He took it out and pressed it, and looked at the time. It was already 8:20 in the evening.

Seeing that Weidong took out his mobile phone, Zhang Hanrui, who was next to him, also hurriedly took out his mobile phone. Seeing that there was still no signal, he couldn't help but sighed. While clicking on the apps on the phone one by one, he whispered to his girlfriends: This horrible place can't even receive the signal from the mobile phone communication base station? I can't make calls, and I can't get the V letter. All other functions except the time and lighting are disabled...Well, fortunately, the selfie can be turned on --what--"

The sudden scream shocked everyone present. Qi Qiang, who was turning the code lock, shivered, jumped up and kicked at Zhang Hanrui: "What is the name of the ghost!"

The others stood a little farther, and before they could stop him, Zhang Hanrui was kicked on her waist by this foot, and fell out on the spot and fell heavily to sit on the ground.

However, this foot seemed to be not as serious as the cause that caused Zhang Hanrui to scream. She sat on the ground and threw her mobile phone out, clutching her head and continued to scream desperately, her voice filled with endless panic and horror.

Her two girlfriends, Li Yaqing and Zhao Youyi, were frightened by her screams, and they hugged them and dared not approach her.

Ke Xun walked to the place where Zhang Hanrui’s phone dropped, bent over to pick it up, and pressed the screen, but saw that a gesture code was needed, so he walked to Zhang Hanrui and squatted down and patted her shoulder: "Sister, stop first, you do this again. Screaming, I'm afraid something strange will be drawn."

Zhang Hanrui stopped the sound suddenly, plunged frantically into Ke Xun's arms and couldn't help shaking.

Ke Xun held her shoulders and asked her in a gentle voice as much as possible: "Sister, tell me, what did you see on the phone just now?"

Zhang Hanrui shrank, her long hair blocking half of her face, which made her eyes look particularly dark. She trembled her lips that looked gray in the dim light, and tremblingly pointed to the phone in Ke Xun's hand: "You... …You turn on the camera function... take a look."
