First Film Chapter 11 Towing
After several long, deep breaths, Ke Xun felt his body gradually recovering and he was finally able to clench his fists more powerfully.
Ke Xun leaned on the bed and tried to sit up. He had to find a way to close the window.
Xin Beibei was lying motionless on the bed opposite, and it was unclear whether she was asleep or just lying there observing Ke Xun.
Just when Ke Xun finally stood up and prepared to walk to the window, his eyes suddenly seemed to be blinded, and the unexpected darkness enveloped everything again.
Ke Xun stood where he was, not daring to make any rash moves as he couldn't tell the direction.
This time the feeling was very clear, something had come into the house, not just "passed by" like the previous two times.
In the vast and invisible darkness, only the sense of smell and hearing remain alive.
Perhaps Guo Lixia felt fear in her dream, and her snoring became much quieter, leaving only her long breathing in her sleep.
Another sound in the darkness came from Xin Beibei. It was a very rapid gasp, a gasp so painful that it seemed like she was about to suffocate.
The darkness has the smell of "color", just like the smell of berries in the workshop, and like the smell coming from the bottle where Zhang Tianwei was soaked.
Ke Xun felt an extremely strong smell of color passing through his nose, and then gradually faded. Ke Xun's eyes looked in the direction of the window, as if the other party was about to leave through the window.
Finally, a touch of gray came into view. It was the color of the window frame. Then the entire square window frame appeared in front of me, and everything in the room gradually became clear.
Guo Lixia's polka dot pattern was still lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
Ke Xun's own water ripple pattern stood in the middle of the room.
Xin Beibei's diamond pattern was dragged towards the window in an extremely distorted way.
That's right, Xin Beibei was squirming like a snake being dragged, or like a piece of floral cloth being moved.
Ke Xun clearly saw the thing that was dragging Xin Beibei. The thing came from under Xin Beibei's feet. It was black and about the same size as Xin Beibei.
If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be Xin Beibei's own shadow.
Ke Xun slowly took a few steps back and returned to his bed, trying to stay away from Xin Beibei and her shadow.
"Xin Beibei?" Ke Xun finally called the other person's name. The death happened right in front of him and it was impossible for him to ignore it.
The diamond pattern belonging to Xin Beibei made an unclear sound: "Gurgle..."
It sounded like a low retching sound caused by suffocation.
Ke Xun broke out in a cold sweat as he watched Xin Beibei's body being slowly dragged out of the bed and moving towards the windowsill.
Xin Beibei's shadow had gradually spread to the windowsill, dragging her feet towards the windowsill.
Ke Xun bravely approached Xin Beibei's head. Now her head was the farthest from the shadow and should be a relatively safe place.
Xin Beibei let out a series of hoarse gasps, as if something was strangling her neck.
Ke Xun grabbed Xin Beibei's shoulders and tried to pull her back, but found that there was too much difference in strength between him and her.
Ke Xun plucked up the courage to tentatively touch Xin Beibei's neck and found that her neck was deeply sunken - the flesh on her neck seemed to be strangled by some invisible thing.
Ke Xun touched the concave shape and pulled his hand back.
That shape clearly came from an invisible big hand.
Because of the disparity in power, Ke Xun could only watch as Xin Beibei was dragged away from the window by her own shadow. The narrow shape covered with diamond patterns squirmed in pain and gradually disappeared at the window.
Ke Xun chased to the window and stuck his head out. The black shadow had merged into the thick night. The only eye-catching thing was the pattern belonging to Xin Beibei. It seemed shaky under the drag of the black shadow, and was slowly dragged past the window next door and turned to the distance beyond the sight.
Just like what we saw last night.
Only then did Ke Xun feel a little cold. It turned out that his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Ke Xun looked at the windows on both sides and found that the windows of all the rooms were tightly closed, so he prepared to close his own window as well.
My eyes swept across the pool and maze outside, and suddenly I found a black and white pattern in the maze, which stood out particularly clearly in the solid gray maze.
That should be a person, someone in the maze late at night.
Ke Xun wanted to see the pattern on the man's clothes clearly, but the distance was too far and he could only vaguely make out the man's outline. He was standing straight next to the maze, as if looking directly at Ke Xun.
Ke Xun subconsciously closed the window, but did not leave the window. Instead, he continued to observe the other person through the window pane.
The man stood there for a few minutes, then walked into the maze and disappeared.
The whole night finally passed and daybreak came.
The first was that Ye Ningchen died miserably just like He Yu died yesterday.
Fortunately, the other two people in the purple room were not affected, and the entire room did not change, and the door was still purple.
Ye Ningchenyi's death may have been within everyone's expectations, but Xin Beibei's disappearance left everyone confused and puzzled.
Many people turned their sympathetic eyes to Shi Zhendong.
Shi Zhendong was silent for a long time, and the sound he made seemed like he was trying to suppress his sobs: "It turns out that the blue pattern on the clock yesterday was related to Beibei."
"But how was Xin Beibei chosen? Did she also pollute the color?" After Mi Wei said this, she subconsciously looked at the clock in the lobby on the second floor. Seeing that it was still the indigo color of last night, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Perhaps visiting neighbors will also change the color of the clock." Mu Yiran glanced at everyone and made sure that the remaining nine people were present before continuing, "Miao Zipei said yesterday that the clock changed from orange to blue yesterday morning, but at that time, no one had started working, so everyone thought that this change had nothing to do with the pollution color."
"At that time yesterday morning, everyone was on the second floor, just like now," Qin Ci said.
Mu Yiran continued, "That's why it is said that visiting someone will also cause the clock to change color."
"You mean, someone came to visit yesterday morning?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Think about it carefully, when everyone was observing He Yu's body in the red room yesterday, was there anyone alone?" Mu Yiran asked a question.
Many people haven't figured it out yet, when Shi Zhendong suddenly said: "It was Beibei. She was very scared at the time, so I told the girls not to go into the red room first, but the other two girls went in anyway... Beibei was the only one left in the hall at the time."
Zhu Haowen also recalled: "We stayed in the red room for quite a while, at least more than 20 minutes. What was Xin Beibei doing alone in the hall? Why did she come to visit?"
Everyone was puzzled. Xin Beibei could be said to be the least timid one in the group. How could she dare to risk her life to go to rooms of other colors?
"I've told you all before that when a person is alone, especially when alone in the hall, they are likely to be bewitched in some way." Mu looked at everyone with a smile, "I personally experienced this yesterday afternoon. Because of hallucinations, people can't help but want to open doors of other colors."
Ke Xun had been tossing and turning all night, and felt a little listless the next morning. Hearing these words, he seemed to remember something: "No wonder I always felt that Xin Beibei's hostility towards Hao Wen'er was somewhat unfounded. Now that I think about it, the temptation she gave her might be related to Hao Wen'er."
"You mean, because she received the revelation about me, she pushed open our green door alone yesterday morning when everyone gathered in the red room?" Zhu Haowen said.
"It's very possible. No, it should be said that this is the only possibility." Ke Xun looked at the tightly closed green door. "Blue and green together are exactly cyan."
Shi Zhendong's eyes were red and his voice was a little hoarse: "But Beibei didn't do anything wrong yesterday, and her behavior was no different from usual."
"This is probably the cleverness of this world," said Mu Yiran, "People who are bewitched by it always maintain their own temperaments, and only do things when they need to do so, so that we won't notice it."
Wei Dong scratched his messy hair and said, "Are you saying that the blue stain on Xiao Ye's body yesterday was also caused by Xin Beibei?"
Mu Yiran said nothing, indicating his agreement.
Guo Lixia frowned: "But after finishing work yesterday at noon, the three of us washed our hands thoroughly, especially Xin Beibei who washed the cleanest."
"There's no need to stick obvious colors on your hands. Just secretly hide a blue berry in your pocket." Mu Yiran made his own inference. "At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone assigned work. The people in the green room continued to work, and the rest of the people went to the fourth floor to check on the changes in Zhang Tianwei's body. The remaining few people stayed in the lobby on the first floor."
Wei Dong nodded: "That's right, the ones who stayed behind were me, Xiao Ye, Sister Guo, and Xin Beibei."
"If I'm not mistaken, Xin Beibei and Ye Ningchenyi were quite intimate at the time, right?"
"Yes, Sister Guo was taking a nap at the time, and the two girls were chatting the whole time, so I couldn't get a word in." Wei Dong still felt that Ye Ningchen's death was unjust, "Xiao Ye had clearly washed the skirt, why did she still..."
"Perhaps the colors of this world are defined as indelible. Even if they are gone to the naked eye, they still exist," Mi Wei tried to remain calm, "so the clock suddenly turned indigo at that time!"
Everyone connected the various signs that happened yesterday, which were consistent with today's inferences.
"When Xiaoye had the accident last night, did you hear any unusual noises in the room? Or saw anything unusual?" Qin Ci asked.
Wei Dong looked very haggard. "We didn't sleep last night, and Xiao Ye didn't dare to sleep either. Then the room suddenly became dark, and there was no movement during the process. When the room returned to its original state, we found that Xiao Ye was gone."
“Gone?”
"The pattern belonging to Xiaoye disappeared, and her body merged with the darkness. When it was dawn, I found out that she had become like that..." Wei Dong was unable to continue.
The true death in this world is to merge into the darkness; and in the daytime, it is as pale as a wall.
