Paintings of Terror

"We must face our most vulnerable point directly, in order to overcome the avoidance and fear of it, and make our mental power stronger," Shao Ling said, "I think there are two ways to improve this, one is me The collapse therapy just mentioned, the other is to thoroughly analyze yourself, tell it to others, overcome avoidance and shame, because frankness will make people stronger and calmer. If you don’t object, you can feel free to Choose these two methods and the rest of us will help."

"Then I will collapse therapy..." Luo Ling hesitated to look at Shao Ling, "Brother Shao, how are you going to treat me?"

"Of course it made you collapse first and then rebuild," Wei Dong patted him on the shoulder, "That's what it means. For example, are you afraid of Sadako and Kayako? Then we will pretend to be this type of ghost and keep scaring. You, when you are scared and numb, you won’t be scared anymore if you encounter such a illusion, understand?"

Luo Er screamed, "I'm almost scared to death by just hearing you say, is this really possible, brother?"

It may be that Wei Dong was unreliable. Luo Ling looked at Shao Ling, but he didn't expect that Shao Ling nodded: "That's what it meant."

Luo Yu trembled and struggling: "Here, there is nothing on this boat, how do you play ghosts? How about changing it?"

"There are things, so don't worry about it, just wait." Wei Dong said.

"What about you, do you want to say something?" Shao Ling looked at the others.

Everyone looked down at themselves, and Fang Fei spoke first: "I might lose in the emotion of sorrow. Although I like taking risks and challenging the limit, I am not afraid of death, but I am a pessimist. ."

Fang Fei paused, staring at his knees sitting cross-legged, as if he was organizing words to analyze himself.

"Because I am overly pessimistic, I am always taking risks. I use a life full of excitement to prevent myself from falling into depression, but I still dare not admit that I am taking risks and may just be pursuing death.

"There are many points that make me feel sad and depressed. If the illusion puts these things together and shows them in front of me, I may collapse in an instant, plus... Yu Long's death, to be honest, I am somewhat pessimistic now serious."

"I can understand how you feel now," Ke Xun was the first to respond to her, "because I have experienced this situation before, and all the counseling and enlightenment have no effect at this moment, it will only increase self-abuse. Feeling and frustrated.

"But you are really brave. Many people in the same situation are unwilling or lack the courage to speak out their own psychology. They avoid facing the cruelty of life and also avoid accepting their incompetent failure. What they can do There is only a broken jar.

"But you are different. You are the bravest woman I have ever seen. Although you are pessimistic, it is because life is too fucking, not your fault. I don't think you need anyone to help you with mental construction, you want to do it. Do whatever you want, you have not lost to yourself in life or death."

After these words, everyone was quiet for a long time.

Qin Ci felt that Ke Xun was worthy of being a captain, and he deserved it.

He neither filled people with chicken soup nor said any exaggerated and beautiful words, but he could let a pessimistic person feel the temperature and strength he gave.

This can be seen from the smile on Fang Fei's face after hearing his words.

"Thank you," Fang Fei said, "you turned my frustrated bravery into free and easy bravery. It's very useful, thank you."

Shao Ling couldn't help but glanced at Ke Xun a few more times. Ke Xun looked back at him and raised his lips and smiled: "Although I also have an emotional Achilles heel, I am reluctant to say that any of you want to say it, continue."

Wei Dong: "I think my Achilles heel may be desire..."

Luo Er looked at him in surprise: "But you don't look like an over-indulgent person, Brother Dong."

"...I am so special," Wei Dong slapped his head, "I'm talking about a desire for things that are out of reach, such as money, houses, and food. I seem to be particularly eager for these. ..."

Ke Xun shook his head: "What you said, most people are eager to make their life better, but compared to living with nothing, which one is more temptation for you?"

"...I am afraid of death if I live." Wei Dong said.

"So if you think about it, let's talk about it, get to know yourself correctly," Ke Xun said.

Wei Dong re-examined himself with "Oh", and Shao Ling's gaze fell on Qin Ci again.

Qin Ci smiled: "As a doctor who is accustomed to seeing the life and death and pain of patients, death, sorrow, and fear have gradually become numb. The work intensity of doctors is very high, and overtime is common, so there is almost no time to expand. My desire, the doctor’s job requires a normal mind. I dare not say that I meet the conditions after the phantom screening, but at the moment I am not sure where my emotional weakness is. I am afraid that I will know only when things come."

"Ge Qin is a calm school, maybe he will become immortal in the painting in the end." Wei Dong said, "Hao Wen'er looks like this one too, right?"

Zhu Haowen looked down and said lightly: "I also have emotional weakness, but I don't want to say it either."

Shao Ling smiled and did not continue to guide. It can be seen that although this group of people have different personalities, they are all people with their own persistence. Hmm...well, that Weidong may not be...no, he also has persistence, he insists on trusting his friends completely.

It's hard to come by.

"At the end of the co-authoring, I will be treated by myself alone." Luo Gu said in fear.

In the next time, there is nothing to do, just waiting.

Fang Fei silently memorized the mark set by Mu Yiran, while Mu Yiran fell into contemplation at the character "chicken" left by Xuege. Shao Ling, Qin Ci, and Zhu Haowen each lived in a corner, or closed their eyes, or were there. Thinking about it, it is not easy for Chen Xinai to survive last night's illusion. At this moment, it may be because of the dual effects of sadness and mental tension that he slumped in the corner and fell asleep. Ke Xun and Wei Dong are using collapse therapy to help Luo Ling overcome his fear.

"Treatment" Luo Ling's plan was Ke Xun thought.

In Weidong's words: Ke Er, a kid from small to large, is a professional man.

The plan is actually very simple. He forced Luo Wei to walk around in the lower cabin under the deck alone. During this period, Ke Xun and Weidong wore white robes and appeared in the dark cabin door, or crawled or threw himself to death. Scare him.

Luo Wei is really timid, knowing that the people who are crawling all over the ground are Ke Xun and Wei Dong, but he still feels terrified when he sees it. However, he can't run away from Ke Xun. He is thrown on the ground and facing Ke Xun. That ghost makeup face was forced to listen to him telling cold jokes.

The ghost makeup was painted by Weidong with the paint found on the boat. Before Weidong became an artist, he used to work in a few small crews, working as a temporary worker on the road, and the ghost makeup painted was more terrifying than the ghosts in the film. Minute.

Luo Ling was so frightened and was forced to listen to Ke Xun telling him cold jokes-there were also a few meaty jokes in which the protagonist was replaced with Sadako Kayako, Luo Ling's mind was completely confused, repeated five times Down, this method really worked magically-he now looked at Ke Xun's grimace and the white robe on his body and wanted to cry and laugh.

"It's done," Wei Dong squatted beside him with a look of "blood". "If you see a ghost in the illusion at night, you just close your eyes and remember the jokes that Ke Er told you. Everything else Don't think about it, don't worry about it."

"But what if it is another ghost? What about the uncle of the old corpse and zombie in the mountain village, I am afraid of all these..." Luo Ling said in anguish.

"All the illusions in the first three nights were unfolded in the dark," Ke Xun said. "If this is a fixed feature of the illusion, then no matter what kind of ghost comes from behind, it will be the same in the dark, unless the illusion is upgraded later. , You start to have vision, even then you don’t have to be afraid. Didn’t you just practice for nothing? Do you want to do more rounds?"

"No, no, enough, enough, brother, rest, and save your energy to fight the illusion at night." Luo Ling shook his hands again and again, then limply fell on the ground, panting for a while, then turned to look at Ke Xun and Wei Dong, "Brother, you guys Don’t the two have anything to fear?"

"Why not?" Wei Dong sighed, "I used to be almost like you, timid and cowardly, but since I came across the unfortunate incident of entering painting, let alone other things, I have become more and more courageous. The ghost of ‘s can’t scare me anymore, it’s an extraordinary ghost...it’s just like thinking about it, what else can I do, anyway, when I encounter it, it’s a death, the difference is that the way of death is different. At the end of the day, I just hope to let me die a happy one, don’t suffer.”

Ke Xun patted him on the shoulder, and said, "There will be an end to the day. The coordinates of all the art museums we have been in are already marked on the map. You can basically see that they are two letters. Clues, since there are clues, it must be a game with a beginning and an end. Although I don’t know how many paintings will be waiting for us, but there will definitely be an end. Perseverance is victory."

"All right, I insist." Wei Dong took a deep breath and looked at Luo Ling, "You also insist on persisting, I think, no matter how terrible a ghost is, it is not as terrible as the tragic death itself, not to mention the ghosts in this painting. It's an illusion. As long as you are not deceived, they can't do anything to you, scared and killed by ghosts. Which one do you choose? Think about it."

Luo Yi nodded bitterly.

When he returned to the deck, the sky was getting dark, and the steps of death were stepping on the lone ship on the vast sea.

Fang Fei sat alone on the side of the ship, silently looking at the thick, ink sea below her feet.

"You said, where are the corpses of those who died?" Weidong asked Ke Xun in a low voice, "Even if they fell into the sea, they should have floated a long time ago. Why didn't you see them all the time? Could it be that there are human-eating monsters in the sea, give them to..."

Ke Xun raised his eyebrows, as if he had been reminded. He found the crossbow that everyone had used on the first day from the room next to him, strode to Fang Fei’s side, and handed it to her: After the rhino horn, no matter what you see, it will never be an illusion anymore. You may use this bow if you hold it."

"What if I accidentally shoot you?" Fang Fei remembered that the illusion would cause confusion in the space coordinates where everyone was.

"If you see something very tall, you squat down and shoot it in the head," Ke Xun squatted to demonstrate to Fang Fei. "Look, at such an oblique angle, even if one of us is nearby, It won’t be shot easily. If the thing is really a chicken, and it’s only the size of a chicken, you’ll stand up straight and shoot downward, and you won’t be shot at nearby people. Of course, if the illusion connects us. The high and low positions can be changed, so we can only be blamed for bad luck, but you still have to try to hit it with this arrow, because it is related to whether we can break this round. Remember what they said Did Qin Shihuang use an arrow to kill a mackerel? I think this arrow must be useful, so please feel free to shoot it out."

"Okay." Fang Fei didn't hesitate anymore, took the crossbow and saw that Ke Xun took out two mobile phones from his bag and handed them over.

"Just in case," Ke Xun said, "if the crossbow doesn't work well or doesn't work, explode the phone and it will blow up."
