I eat candy in the horror world

The townspeople walked to the center of the yard one after another. Everyone was silent, their gazes were not raised up, their fists were clenched, and they were all in a tense state, as if there was something terrible hidden in this place full of paper and books. .

Seeing that these people didn't care about their existence, Song Xi grabbed Li Zhong who was trying to leave, "Wait."

Hong Na also stood aside with her arms folded, and sized up the townspeople present. The father of the guide next door was also there.She roughly counted the number of people, and guessed that they should send one or two representatives from each family.

There is no mayor in the town, only one old man who presides over the overall situation, that is, the old man who makes pastries.

The old man was still wearing the same rough clothes, and he had an extra crutch in his hand. He grabbed the crutch and stomped on the ground a few times, coughed, and said, "The old lady guarding the painting gallery is gone, and now I have to choose another person to stay here. Do you have any recommendations in mind?"

None of the people below were willing to speak, and some even started to back away.

The old man frowned: "Since no one stands up, let's draw lots."

"Old man, we can send a few people to take turns to clean every day, and no one will be kept, what do you think?" A middle-aged woman suggested.

"This is a good way!" The others echoed, "Don't be afraid, and don't..."

"Shut up!" The old man yelled, "You dare to say anything, and you are not afraid of being overheard!"

The man shut his mouth and looked at Song Xi and the others angrily, as if he already knew what happened last night.With a start, other people also stared at them one after another, wishing to eat them alive.

Song Xi: "...how about we withdraw first."

Li Zhong poked his neck and said loudly on purpose: "What are you afraid of? If you bring one, I'll make a pair, and if you bring a stack, I'll make ten."

"..." Hong Na whispered, "It's just your foamy muscles made from protein powder, don't blow it."

Li Zhong's face was slightly flushed as the secret was exposed.

Jiang Su sighed, and was heard by Song Xi. He looked down and felt that the children looked at them as if they were looking at a group of idiots.

Perhaps it was because Li Zhong's muscular body was really terrifying, the provocative townspeople tended to back down, and the rest of the people also turned their attention back to the old man.

The old man covered his lips with his fist, and cleared his throat, "Okay, send someone up to rub the paper balls, whoever is caught is the one, don't have any objections."

The townspeople are very obedient to the old man's words, it can be said that they are respectful,

Rao was dissatisfied among them, but they dared not speak out.

At this time, a figure was pushed out.

It was a disheveled little girl with two braids, her face was covered in dirt, and her clothes were tattered, like a waif without care.

"What's the point of drawing lots, she's the only one." A young man said, "Which family in our town is not busy making a living every day, she's the only one who eats dry food all day long."

"Yes, let the dumb stay here and eat us so much every day, it's time for her to repay us."

The old man pondered for a moment, knowing that the other party could not make a sound, he still bent down and asked her: "Is it okay to let you stay in Bai's house to guard?"

The mute shook his head vigorously, and the next second a hand behind him grabbed his hair.That hand pressed her head and shook it twice, and said to the old man with a smile: "She agrees."

The old man nodded: "Let's do it this way, bring her something to eat every day."

A large group of people left just like that, leaving the mute standing there alone. After a while, she walked to a corner of the garden with her head drooping and squatted down.

Li Zhong yelled at the door: "It's really not a thing, isn't this a bully who is young and can't speak!"

"I'll go over and have a look." Song Xi let go of Jiang Su and walked towards the corner.

Hong Na called to stop him: "Don't go there, how do you know if she is a human or a ghost!"

Song Xi looked at Jiang Su, the little boy approached and hooked his finger, "Brother, are you afraid, I can accompany you."

Hong Na rolled her eyes, stomped her feet and walked over, "It seems that I'm so unreasonable." After she left, Li Zhong felt embarrassed to stay where he was.

The mute was short and thin, and one of them curled up in a corner.

Her face was dominated by matted hair, and only sunken cheeks and a little chapped lip could be seen.

Song Xi, a big man's rash action would easily cause the little girl to panic, so he motioned for Hong Na to make contact.

Seeing the poor little girl, Hong Na felt a little pity, and her cold voice softened, "Little sister, can you hear me?" They were worried that the girl was not only dumb, but also deaf.

Simply, the mute's hearing is normal.

She cast a glance at Hong Na, her eyes were gloomy and sharp, and when she smiled, the slit on her mouth was torn even further, and blood flowed out immediately.

Hong Na was so startled that she almost stood up. She suppressed her discomfort and asked softly, "Do you know where Miss Bai has gone? Why didn't you see her during the meeting?"

Hearing Miss Bai's three words, the mute opened his mouth, covered his ears hard, and looked around in horror.

Song Xi: "Don't scare her, let me ask."

Hong Na cut, stood up and squatted down, Song Xi asked: "Do you know the painter who lives in the town? Is he on good terms with Miss Bai?"

The mute also fears the painter, she keeps backing away, shrinking her body between the wall and a bonsai.

"It's useless to ask." Li Zhong lost his patience, "Instead of asking a dumb person, it's better to go directly to the painter to find clues."

Hong Na also felt that the plan was feasible, "Let's go, we can't waste any more time."

Song Xi had no choice but to hold Jiang Su and walk out with them.After crossing the threshold stone, there was a slight movement behind him. Looking back, the mute walked to the white wall and stared blankly.

Miss Bai appeared on the stone arch bridge many times, and the four of them did not dare to pass by it. They walked a long way around to find the row of stone piers, and stepped on them cautiously.

With a bang, the water splashed in all directions, startling everyone.

Li Zhong rubbed his eyes and saw that it was a dead duck.There was a big gash on the duck's neck, and the blood stains on the duck's feathers fainted when it came into contact with water.

"It's another animal that has been drained of blood." Hong Na said, "Look, there is no blood oozing from the neck at all. How did the murderer do it?"

The wound was exposed to the air, and the inner texture and bones could be seen, but no blood flowed out.

Li Zhong: "It is impossible in reality, but everything is possible in this world."

Song Xi bent down, waited for the dead duck to float over, and picked it up all at once.

Except for Jiang Su, the other two immediately showed expressions of disgust.

Jiang Su stood on tiptoe and looked at the duck in the young man's hand. The wound was flat, just like the pigeon he met on the way, it was killed with one blow.

Song Xi put the duck back into the water and watched it drift away before taking Jiang Su forward.

Li Zhong and Hong Na had already landed, and were frowning and looking ahead, they saw the duck drifting in the river for a while, before being pulled down by several silver objects.

This was the first time she saw piranhas in the river, and she couldn't help shivering.

Li Zhongdao: "There are fewer upstream, but it may be that there are more corpses in the downstream. The fish are densely packed together, and they can gnaw people down to the bones in an instant."

Hong Na murmured, "How many people did you say died here?"

"The last time I went there, there were 484 memorial tablets in the ancestral hall. But with the addition of Wu Chuan, there should be 485 now." Song Xi walked up to the two of them, and when he looked over, the duck had disappeared.

The B&B where the painter lives is deep in the house, and it takes more than half an hour to get there through streets and alleys.Just passing the ancestral hall on the way, I stopped by to have a look.

There was no one in the ancestral hall, and the place where the tablets were placed was the same as before. There were hundreds of dense black tablets standing there, heavy and depressing.

Li Zhong hissed, "No, why does it seem like there is another one?"

Song Xi did a simple multiplication and addition, his face sank, "There is one more, and the total is now 486."

"There's an extra bearded one." Sensing someone approaching, he looked back, Jiang Su's hand grabbed his sleeve, "Painter."

Song Xi looked towards the alley, and only had time to see a piece of white clothes.

Jiang Su was not mistaken, he was really a painter, he was still wearing yesterday's clothes, bending over to look for something.

Li Zhong stood at the front, he turned to the others and said, "He's looking for a cat."

Song Xi suddenly thought of the beautiful cheese cat.

The painter whispered, "Mi, come out quickly, I have something delicious here."

He held the unpacked ham sausage in his hand, and reached out to open the cardboard box that was thrown outside the house.The clean kitten first sniffed the ham sausage, as if reading some kind of emotion from the painter's eyes, it backed away quickly and let out a threatening growl.

Song Xi asked Jiang Su to go back to the ancestral hall and hide it so that the painter could not see him, while Hong Na walked out quickly to attract the painter's attention.

"Excuse me, sir." She showed a gentle and shy smile, very quiet, "I seem to be lost, do you know how to get to the B&B experience hall?"

The vigilant kitten jumped out and disappeared in a flash.

The painter pushed Hong Na away angrily, and when he saw that peaceful face, he swallowed back the abuse he was about to say, and turned around to chase the kitten.

The alleys were criss-crossed, and he stood at the intersection and looked around, finding nothing, so he transferred all his anger to Hong Na.

"You have to pay me a cat." The painter stared at Hong Na, like a tiger staring at its prey, with greed and bloodthirsty hidden under the sharp eyes.

Hong Na flicked her hair: "Yes."

Quietly gesturing to the back, she leaned forward with a smile, resisting goosebumps and said ambiguously: "How do you want me to compensate you?"

The painter didn't like her enthusiasm, he frowned and evaded, seeing that the woman continued to approach him, his face changed drastically, and he pushed back in repulsion: "You wanton woman, don't approach me!"

Hong Na's complexion changed suddenly. She claimed to be beautiful and good-looking. This was the first time someone said that, and she trembled with anger, "You are a pervert! What were you doing just now, trying to trick the kitten into taking the bait and then killing it? Is it? A sanctimonious psychopath!"

The painter was not irritated, and after hearing "kitten", his attention quickly shifted.

He randomly found an alley and walked in, and took out the ham sausage to lure around.

Song Xi asked Hong Na and Li Zhong to watch him, and ran to the hotel alone.The B&B is closed today, and there is a sign at the door, saying that the boss is not here.

He looked up to the second floor, made some plans, went around to the side of the house, stepped on the window sill and began to climb up.

The window on the second floor was open, so he grabbed the window frame and jumped in.After landing firmly, Song Xi came to the locked room.

The old-fashioned padlock on the room did not bother him, so he opened it after poking it a few times with the steel needle on the saber.He pushed the door open and walked in. There were many easels in the room, each of which was covered with a white cloth.

The windows in the house were left open, and the breeze blew in, shaking the white cloth.

Song Xi grabbed the nearest piece of white cloth and just lifted a corner when the cold wind came from behind, and he bent down vigilantly to avoid it.

The boss appeared behind him at some point, holding a very long iron rod in his hand.

She said with a cold face: "Come out."

Song Xi: "With the artist's consent."

"Impossible." The boss tightened the stick in his hand, "Mr. Painter said that no one can come in unless he himself is present."

Song Xi shrugged, "Okay, but you put away the stick first, so I can't get out."

The boss glared at him and retracted his arm.

Song Xi pretended to go out, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, quickly grabbed the white cloth and pulled it in his direction.

The white cloth and the easel fell to the ground together, and the painting covered under it was also exposed. The blood-red setting sun fell in the middle of the canvas, and the dazzling clouds were below.

Before she could react, the iron rod in the boss's hand fell to the ground, and she covered her mouth and screamed: "You did it, you did it alone, it's none of my business!"

Song Xi walked forward quickly, and lifted all the white cloths closest to him.

The rising sun, setting sun, and setting sun, the suns at different times are vivid on the paper, but on these suns, they are covered with black paint, including the one that was brought back at the beginning.

Wipe the canvas with your fingers vigorously, the paint has dried, and it feels smooth to the touch.He leaned closer and smelled it, it was pungent, and there was a faint smell of blood.

The red in the painting is deep and light, some are more orange, and some are more yellow.Song Xi thought of the paint buckets in that room, and was horrified. The paints on these paintings were all mixed with the contents of the paint buckets.

There were footsteps leaving outside the door, Song Xi guessed that the boss went to complain to the painter.

He didn't leave right away, but picked up the bamboo pole and pushed away all the white cloths in the room one by one.The layers of paintings are all red suns with strange colors.

Because there was no cover, the smell of paint and blood in the room gradually became stronger.

Song Xi covered his mouth and nose, frowned and wanted to leave, when he suddenly saw something move on one of the canvases.

The sun was painted with black paint, gradually protruding a round, fat face with big ears.

It's fat!

Soon, the fat man's entire head protruded from the canvas. His face was covered with blood, his expression was ferocious, and he managed to get out with a few fingers, trying to break free the whole body behind him from the canvas.

A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Song Xi's back, and he grasped the stick tightly and swung it vigorously.

The fat man's head was like a ball made of water, it exploded in an instant, and blood and brain matter splashed all over the floor.Song Xi retreated one after another, panting heavily, staring at the red and white paste on the ground.

The things scattered on the floor are moving towards a certain center little by little...

"Fuck!" Song Xi cursed angrily, closed the door, and fastened the iron rod to the doorknob to reinforce the door.He stepped back to the window and returned the same way.As soon as he landed, he saw the artist walking from the front with a rabbit in his arms.

The rabbit didn't struggle and looked dead, with no wounds on its body.

The painter pulled out a hand from his pocket, cold light flashed across his fingertips, but he shook it slightly from the rabbit's neck, and the blood quickly seeped from the white fur.

The rabbit's body twitched a few times and completely lost consciousness.

Song Xi gritted his teeth and hid, and saw the artist hold the rabbit up to his eyes, twisted his fingertips with a little blood, and then wiped all the blood from his fingertips onto the rabbit's fur.

He closed his eyes happily and contentedly, and stepped on the stone steps with his palms down to prevent the blood from dripping on the ground.

Not long after the artist entered the B&B, Song Xi heard the anxious voice of the boss.

"Someone got into the room you locked and knocked down your easel!"

"Then did you see it?" the painter asked sullenly, "I asked you if you saw my painting!"

The boss was keenly aware of something, and denied it: "I didn't see it, I didn't see anything."

Song Xi poked his head out, just in time to see the painter push the boss away.He stepped back and left from another direction, and ran into Li Zhong and Hong Na who were hurrying over.

Seeing that the young man was not injured, Li Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death, I thought you would bump into the painter."

"Nearly." Song Xi glanced at the cat, probably frightened and trembling.

Hong Na said: "The painter is really sick. After he found the cat by the river, he actually wanted to kill it with a blade! Fortunately, we were resourceful and smashed it with a flower pot on the side of the road, allowing the kitten to escape .”

Song Xi: "The cat ran away, and he got a rabbit from another place."

Thinking of the scene he saw just now, Song Xi said disgustedly, "I have entered that locked studio, and there are many easels in it, all of which are paintings of the sun."

"The sun?" Hong Na was surprised.

"Yes, all kinds of suns." Song Xi rubbed the tip of his nose, as if he could still smell the mixed fishy smell, "One of them looks like it was painted with Brother Lin's blood."

Li Zhong: "How do you know?"

Song Xi: "I saw him crawl out of the canvas."

Hong Na took a light breath, easily constructing a terrifying scene in her mind.She held her forehead and closed her eyes tiredly, "What should I do next?"

Song Xi didn't know either, the sun suggested by the script should have nothing to do with the painting in the room, at least not directly.

Otherwise, when he picked up those white cloths, the way out might have already appeared.

Seeing that the two big men were silent, Hong Na didn't know what to say for a moment, and the atmosphere gradually froze.

"Okay, standing here is not an option." Song Xi glanced at the alley, and just turned a corner to the B&B. After the painter sees the messy room, he may come out to trouble him at any time.

He said: "Are the others still in the Folklore Experience Hall, or should we go there and have a look?"

"Let's go, guide me, maybe two more people can pass the level." Li Zhong paused, turned sideways to avoid Hong Na, and whispered to Song Xi, "It's best if two more people come back tonight, just the three of us An adult and a child are too dangerous."

Song Xi looked at the pretendingly brave face, "Brother Zhong, are you still sleeping together tonight?"

Li Zhong had a psychological shadow last night, he quickly waved his hands and said: "Lan Kang will definitely come back tonight, I will sleep with him."

They went around to the ancestral hall, but there was no one behind the gate where Jiang Su was hiding.Song Xi knew that Jiang Su was different from ordinary people like them and that nothing would happen to him, but he anxiously searched inside and outside the ancestral hall.

Li Zhong tugged him from behind, "The experience hall is not far from here, will he go there?"

They left the ancestral hall, walked straight along the alley, and arrived at two crossroads. Jiang Su was indeed here.

The child stood at the door of the experience hall, looking inside quietly and calmly.He looked back and was not surprised by Song Xi's appearance, as if he knew he was coming.

Song Xi ran over, and said angrily: "Didn't you tell me to wait for me where you are, why did you come here?"

Jiang Su grabbed the young man's arm flatteringly, her voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear, "I came here with Miss Bai." Then he raised his finger and pointed inside, except for the busy Zhang Qiulin and the others, "She just went in .”

Lan Kang, who had just walked out of the warehouse with the pulp, froze in place, thinking he heard it wrong, "We have been here all this time, and we haven't seen Miss Bai."

"Yes, there are so many people here." Zhang Qiulin wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Jiang Su, did you read it wrong?"

Did you read it wrong? Everyone knew it well. After all, the beards with the color of death were among them, but they couldn't show any fear.

Lan Kang lifted the wooden barrel and put it on the ground, and asked the guard of the experience hall: "Master, have you seen it?"

The guard's face was weird, his lips moved, and his hoarse voice trembled violently: "No, I didn't see anything!"

The tense expression coupled with the panicked tone meant that his reply had to be read backwards.The pair of ponytails who have been quietly making paper with bamboo curtains said softly, "I saw it too."

The newcomer girl asked her angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

"I, I didn't see any reaction from you, so I thought I was wrong." The twintails said aggrievedly, shrugged their shoulders quickly, and suppressed the tears welling up in their eyes.

The bearded man stood in the innermost part, he didn't say anything, his nerves were tense all the time.

He glanced at the red spot on the back of his hand,

In fact, that place has been itching since just now, if there seems to be nothing, it is very annoying.He was afraid of being discovered, so he turned his back and smeared some saliva on it.

The annoying itching subsided, he relaxed a little, and continued to shake the bamboo curtain.The pulp accumulated in the bead curtain gradually spread out and became smooth with his movements.

The bearded man opened his eyes wide in surprise, and couldn't believe that he had done it!

As long as he thinks that he doesn't need to stay here to continue to do boring work, he can't help being excited. He takes the bamboo curtain and walks to the kang platform, carefully brushing the smooth pulp on it.

The undried rice paper was spread flat on the countertop, and suddenly curled up for some reason.

The bearded man was so startled that he forgot to back away, seeing the rice paper turned into a mask with his own eyes.

With a heavy heartbeat, he suddenly realized the danger, but he also lost the opportunity to escape.Without anyone touching it, the mask was put on his face in front of everyone.
