No Words [Book of Terror]

Behind the curtain stood a large painting.

The background of this painting is night and moonlight.

On a small road, there was a man walking forward, and his shadow was dragged long. Although Lin Ye couldn't see the face of the character in the painting, the figure and attire of the figure were obviously a man.

But the destination of the other party is an ancient house.

Isn't the ancient house in this painting the place where Lin Ye is staying now?

What exactly does this painting symbolize?

Lin Ye stared at the painting, wondering if it was his illusion, he seemed to feel... the man in this painting moved slightly?

However, when Lin Ye wanted to take a closer look again, he didn't find anything.

Is it just his illusion that the people in the painting are moving?

After a while, Lin Ye found that the oil painting had undergone some changes.

A red paint-like liquid began to gushe out from the painting. This red liquid seeped out from nowhere, and it flowed more and more.

When Lin Ye touched the oil painting, the red liquid was sticky and thick.

But when it smelled, the liquid exuded a bloody smell, and this bloody smell was very strong, so strong that it was pungent.

It didn't take long for the entire painting to be completely covered by the red liquid.

The floor under Lin Ye's feet suddenly disappeared, and Lin Ye was caught off guard and fell down.

Looking at the height, Lin Ye guessed that he must have fallen into a room on the first floor. When Lin Ye fell to the floor, there was a loud noise.

Then, Lin Ye heard someone speak in the darkness, "Who?"

Lin Ye looked in the direction of the sound, but because of the darkness, Lin Ye could only see a shadow vaguely, but not clearly.

The other party spoke again after a short silence, "Go to the left."

This time the other party talked a little more, and Lin Ye could also hear that the other party's voice seemed particularly hoarse.

The other party was not far or close to Lin Ye, and the other party seemed to have no way to leave there.

Lin Ye thought for a while, and then walked slowly to the left according to the other party's words. After walking two steps, Lin Ye bumped into a table.

Lin Ye touched the table and found something.

Based on tactile perception, this should be a candle, and there are several candles. Lin Ye touched the side again, and then touched something like a matchbox. Lin Ye opened the matchbox and took out a match from inside. ,ignite.

With the matches being lit, Lin Ye was finally able to rely on candlelight for illumination.

After Lin Ye lit the candle, he used the candlelight to look at the man who made the sound before.

The man was trapped in a cage, and his hands and feet were chained with long chains.

His clothes were ragged, his hair was messy, and his beard had grown very long.

Lin Ye slowly approached the other party, "Who are you?"

The other party seemed to be sizing up Lin Ye as well, and after looking at Lin Ye for a while, he said, "Hurry up and leave."

"What do you mean?" Lin Ye asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

However, the ragged man didn't answer Lin Ye's question, but only said, "Get out of here quickly!"

Lin Ye knew very well that this man must know something, but the other party refused to say it easily.

And it was impossible for Lin Ye to leave here. If he could, Lin Ye would have left long ago.

But even if Lin Ye left here, he still couldn't escape the curse of silence, so he could only bite the bullet and see what was in this ancient house.

Lin Ye asked again, "Then do you know how to get out?"

The man finally answered Lin Ye's question this time, "If you want to go out, you must have a key."

"Keys?" Lin Ye took out a bunch of keys, "Is this the one?"

Seeing the bunch of keys in Lin Ye's hand, a light flashed in the man's eyes, but because the man's hair had grown so long that it covered his eyes, Lin Ye didn't notice it.

The man said, "If you want to leave this room, you must have a key. The bunch of keys in your hand can just open the door of this room."

After the man finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Lin Ye would not understand, so he added, "The door of this room can be opened from the outside or from the inside, and the key is the same."

Lin Ye nodded, and then walked to the door. Sure enough, he saw the keyhole behind the door. Presumably, as long as the key is inserted correctly, the door can be opened, and he can leave this place.

"Wait!" The man suddenly said anxiously, "Don't leave yet!"

The man seemed to be afraid that Lin Ye would leave after opening the door with the key, so he spoke.

"Is there anything else you can do?" Lin Ye pretended to ask casually while trying the key.

"The key in your hand can also open the cage that locks me," the man said.

Only then did Lin Ye stop, and then said, "Didn't you just tell me to leave quickly?"

The man was a little embarrassed, but he still said, "If you can let me go, I believe I can definitely help you a lot."

"Oh?" Lin Ye waited for this man to prove his worth.

The man hesitated for a while, and when Lin Ye became impatient, he finally said, "Okay, let me tell you something I know, in fact, I believe you have already discovered something, this ancient house, Very weird."

"Is that all?" Lin Ye said, "I'm not a fool. If that's all you said, then I have to say, I should go."

"Wait." The man hurriedly asked to stay, then sighed, and said, "If you don't mind, can you listen to me tell a story patiently?"

Lin Ye didn't answer, but he didn't leave either.

The man then told a story, "My identity is a painter, I am well-known in the local area, and because I am young, I can be regarded as promising, and I was born in a small town famous for art. Among them, as I get older, I am no longer willing to stay in a small town and watch the sky all my life, I eagerly hope to go to the outside world to have a look."

"So, I started traveling, and this ancient house is the end of my journey."

"In fact, when I went to the outside world, it really brought me a lot of gains, life, knowledge, and even a lot of inspiration from time to time. However, after a few years, I fell into the The bottleneck, no matter how wonderful the scenery is, how many people and things I see, I can't inspire me."

"I was walking alone, and then I came to this place. I came to this old house to stay overnight, and I found that this old house is really... very weird. There is no electricity in this place, what There are no electrical appliances, and at night, candles must be used for lighting. And I have not seen the hostess of this house, only the gloomy maid."

"I originally planned to stay here for only one night, but on the second day, the maid told me that the clothes I changed the night before were accidentally stained by her, and I only had a small amount of them with me. Clothes, so missing a set of clothes is a very troublesome thing for me, so I stayed in this ancient house for another day, and I also ate the food cooked by this maid. I have to say, I I originally thought that the food cooked by the other party must not be satisfactory, but for me, it is enough to be full, and I don't have too many expectations."

"However, unexpectedly, the food served by the maid was very delicious. When I tasted the first bite, I was completely fascinated by its taste and texture, but it was a pity that the maid served it There was very little food, I only had a few mouthfuls before I was gone."

"I had the cheek to ask the maid for more food, but the other party said that the food she prepared was insufficient, so if I want to eat such delicious food again, I can only wait until the next day."

"Because of the power of food, I continued to stay. On the second day, the maid finally brought the same food as yesterday. The delicious feeling that made me swallow my tongue is something I will never forget for the rest of my life. "

"In this way, I was attracted by that kind of food, and stayed in the old house day by day, and I was more and more eager to eat more of that kind of delicacy. Finally, one day, I couldn't hold back my curiosity, so I sneaked behind that maid to see how she made such delicious food."

"You would never have thought about what the delicacy I ate was made of." Having said that, the man seemed to take a special look at Lin Ye.

In fact, Lin Ye already had a guess in his mind, especially this man still asked him this, which made Lin Ye even more convinced of his guess.

"I followed that maid secretly," the man continued, "and then, I discovered a scene that left me stunned and unbelievable. Because, the ingredients that the maid used to cook were...human flesh .”

"Probably because I was too horrified. I accidentally made some noises and was noticed by the maid. The maid immediately showed her hideous face and came to chase me. I don't know why, the maid I ran very fast and had great strength, and because I was too scared, I was caught by that maid."

"So I was locked up here by that maid."

The man finished his story.

Lin Ye asked, "In other words, you have never met that mistress?"

The man nodded and said, "That's right, can you let me go now?"

Lin Ye shook his head, "I'm so sorry, your story is very good, but I have to go first."

"What?" The man was very surprised and angry, "Why?"
