Escape the Library

【Phantom in the picture-04】

The woman who appeared in the painting was completely different from the Mona Lisa I just saw.

I saw the woman's face was as pale as a ghost, but her lips were red as blood. Her facial features are very clear, rather than an oil painting, it is more like an old and yellowed photo.

The woman was dressed in black, with long black hair, and blood and tears continued to flow from the corners of her eyes.

Suddenly, Yue Xingwen felt that the roof seemed to be leaking, and the cold liquid kept dripping on his face. Yue Xingwen reached out and touched it, and found that his hands were actually full of bright red!

Ke Shaobin glanced at Yue Xingwen's face and said in a trembling voice, "Xingwen, you, your face is covered in blood!"

Yue Xingwen looked back at Jiang Pingce. The latter's face was also covered in blood, and the dense blood dripped all over his face, which looked particularly terrifying.

Everyone looked at each other and found that everyone was like this.

Ke Shaobin hurriedly wiped with his sleeve, Jiang Pingce whispered, "Don't wipe, the more you wipe, the more you wipe."

The blood dripped down from the roof, and soon gathered into a ball, and flowed towards the surroundings as if consciously. In a blink of an eye, the originally white walls were covered with viscous blood, as if a large pool of red paint had been knocked over. The blood continued to spread along the floor, and in a blink of an eye, it reached the feet of everyone—

The entire space they were in was blood, as if it was an ocean of blood!

This strange scene shocked everyone, Yue Xingwen said alertly: "Everyone be careful!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the pale, ghostly woman in the painting on the porch suddenly stuck her head out of the painting.

Her long hair flew out like lightning and instantly wrapped around Yue Xingwen's neck!

Yue Xingwen only felt that the woman's hair seemed to be taken out of the freezer. The biting coolness ran straight down the top of the head along the tail vertebra. His neck was about to be strangled by the hair, and the strong suffocation made his chest feel like it was about to burst. The lack of oxygen caused confusion in his brain. He couldn't even say a word, and his body was suspended in the air by his hair.

All the students around were stunned by this scene.

Jiang Pingce's face changed, his right hand suddenly raised, and countless triangular rulers that were as thin as feathers shot out from his palm, and the sharp rulers instantly cut off the black hair!

Yue Xingwen's neck loosened, and his suspended body quickly fell.

Jiang Pingce took a step forward to catch Xingwen steadily, and said sharply, "Come on!"

He took Yue Xingwen's hand and ran downstairs quickly, Ke Shaobin also came back to his senses and shouted loudly, "Something's wrong, this painting is perfect, everyone, run!"

Another woman floated out of the painting.

Ke Shaobin ran away without hesitation, and the others hurried to follow.

Yue Xingwen ran down the steps, and his mind returned to calm at this time.

Just now, the woman in the painting suddenly attacked him, and he was caught off guard by his neck, thinking that the necks of the corpses found in the garden were all broken. The way the woman attacked seemed to remind them of the tragic death of the three of them.

He died of suffocation. Brother Liu's analysis of the corpse was obviously correct.

Jiang Pingce held Yue Xingwen's hand tightly, and the blue veins burst out on the back of his hand. Yue Xingwen noticed his worry, immediately held him back, and said in a low voice, "I'm fine, that painting changed so suddenly that I didn't react for a while."

Jiang Pingce didn't say anything, dragged Yue Xingwen and ran to the first floor quickly.

The other classmates followed, Lan Yarong looked at Yue Xingwen worriedly: "How are you Xingwen?"

Yue Xingwen said: "It's okay."

He looked back, and the dazzling blood actually flowed down the stairs, followed behind them, chasing after them! In a blink of an eye, the entire staircase was painted in blood.

Yue Xingwen said solemnly: "This class is called "Phantoms in Paintings", and what we saw just now might be an illusion."

Ke Shaobin said: "In other words, Senior Brother Liu and the others may still be in another room in the castle, and we have entered the illusion world, so we can't communicate?" After he finished speaking, he shouted: "Senior Brother Liu, can you listen Are you there?!"

Liu Zhaoqing was also on the second floor just now. Ke Shaobin spoke so loudly that the other party would definitely hear him. However, there was no response from the other group of students, so there was only one explanation—they were in different spaces and couldn’t be in direct contact.

Yue Xingwen said: "The research group did not show any reminder that any students were eliminated, indicating that they did not have an accident. Don't worry, let's get out of this illusion first."

Ke Shaobin frowned and asked, "How do we get out of this illusion?"

Yue Xingwen has no clue at the moment. Before he had time to think carefully, the people in the paintings on the second floor chased after him!

One by one, pale women floated out of the painting, as if they were mass-produced. In an instant, the people in the painting surrounded them, and their long black hair fell from the sky like a dense black giant net!

The blood on the ground scurried wildly like a group of snakes, and it came to their feet in a blink of an eye.

Yue Xingwen's expression changed, he immediately opened the dictionary, and quickly read: "Jin Chan escapes!"

Team breakaway technique, which can release control and teleport up to 500 meters.

The scene in front of the students changed. They thought they could get out of this weird castle and come to the rose garden outside. However, to Yue Xingwen's surprise, he couldn't leave the castle even if he used Jinchan's shelling skills—

They just teleported from the first floor to the second floor.

At the entrance on the second floor, the "Mona Lisa" still hangs.

The painting has actually been restored to its original shape? !

The woman in the painting looks kind and gentle, with a smile that is not a smile. Her face was normal, and there was no blood and tears.

A group of 7 people stood at the entrance of the stairs, looking at the paintings at the entrance, collectively stunned.

Xu Feixue scratched his head and said, "The painting has returned to its original state. Could it be that we have returned to the original space?"

Xin Yan quickly summoned a large number of alcohol lamps to illuminate the entire castle.

The walls are white, the floor is covered with clean marble tiles, and there is no trace of blood on the stairs. Yue Xingwen touched his face, and all the sticky blood on his face disappeared, as if everything just happened was just a nightmare.

Recalling that Yue Xingwen's face was covered in blood just now, Ke Shaobin couldn't help rubbing the goose bumps on his arm, and said, "It really was an illusion just now! This painting seems to be a switch between reality and fantasy? The appearance of Mona Li When Sha's original appearance, we are in a normal castle; when the screen rotates and another face appears, we enter an illusion?"

Yue Xingwen nodded: "It should be like this."

Ke Shaobin called to the other door at the end of the corridor, "Brother Liu, can you hear me?"

They were divided into two teams just now, Yue Xingwen led the team into the room on the left, and Liu Zhaoqing led the team into the room on the right. Now that they have returned to the original world, they should be able to meet another group of classmates, right?

Everyone expected Liu Zhaoqing's familiar voice to sound, but after waiting for a few seconds, there was still no response.

The door was like a wild beast with its mouth open, eating Liu Zhaoqing and his party.

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other: "Go and see?"

Jiang Pingce nodded: "Well, there should be clues in that room as well."

Everyone followed Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce to the room on the right.

This is a study room. One wall is a bookshelf, which is filled with various books, and the other wall is hung with a huge oil painting. Even people who do not study fine arts can recognize this painting.

- This is Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece "The Last Supper".

Yue Xingwen walked to the painting and said: "The Last Supper" tells the story of **** and his twelve apostles in the Bible. **** had the last supper with the apostles, and he said, there are some of you among you. will betray me."

Xu Feixue said: "Yes, the picture drawn by Da Vinci is the different expressions of the twelve apostles after **** said, 'Someone will betray me'. Judas, who finally betrayed him, was sitting second to his right. The location..." Xu Feixue pointed to Judas in the painting, "Judas has money in his hand, implying that he betrayed his master for money."

Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses: "The Last Supper? Can this painting be related to the painting I saw before?"

Yue Xingwen carefully scrutinized the logic and said, "If these paintings represent the **** stories that happened in the castle, then, the Last Supper may be a reference to the family's betrayal?"

Xu Feixue agreed: "It makes sense. During the Last Supper, **** was betrayed by Judas; the reason why this family was destroyed was because there was also a betrayer who joined the murderer?"

Jiang Pingce suddenly said, "Is it a nanny?"

Yue Xingwen looked back at him, Jiang Pingce said: "The relationship between **** and Judas is like a master and a servant. In the end, Judas betrayed his master; there is an independent nanny room on the first floor of the castle. The servants come to do the housework. The servants know many secrets of the master, and are most likely to betray the master for profit.”

Ke Shaobin's eyes lit up: "So, the theme of this painting is 'betrayal'?"

Yue Xingwen thought for a moment and said, "Combining with the previous themes, the abstract painting "Exchange" on the first floor, the entrance painting "Mona Lisa" on the second floor is a face covering, the madness of Van Gogh's "Starry Night", plus " The betrayal suggested by The Last Supper, the logical clue is that the nanny betrayed the master, united with the murderer, and destroyed the family, and the murderer replaced the family's identity and status, embezzling their property?"

Jiang Pingce agreed: "I think so too."

Lan Yarong nodded and said, "Betrayal, replacement, exchange. Your explanation really makes sense!"

Yue Xingwen said: "The key now is, where did Brother Liu and the others go?"

***

At this time, Liu Zhaoqing and six people were standing at the entrance on the second floor.

The Mona Lisa in the painting suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, with a weird smile on her face. Liu Zhaoqing pointed at her with wide eyes and said, "Look, the woman in this painting seems to be smiling?"

Xu Yishen turned his head to look at the smile of the person in the painting, and his hair stood on end: "Isn't what Xingwen saw at first an illusion? Does the person in the painting really move?"

Liu Zhaoqing cursed in a low voice: "This is a bit scary to laugh!" He shouted to the door on the other side: "Xingwen, we are here at the entrance, come and see this painting!"

The door on the left was open, but there was no response from the inside.

Liu Zhaoqing wondered: "Xingwen?"

Xu Yishen quickly went into the room to check, returned to his original position after three seconds, shook his head and said, "No one."

Liu Zhaoqing frowned: "What's the situation?"

The next moment, the smiling woman in the painting suddenly blinked, followed by a strange "giggling" laughter in the castle. In the silent night, the laughter was like a magic sound.

The 6 people listened to the woman's laughter, and the goose bumps on their backs suddenly fell to the ground!
