First Film Chapter 12 Xin Beibei
"Ye Ningchenyi's death was exactly the same as He Yu's. They were both contaminated with abnormal colors, or brought their own colors into rooms they shouldn't have been in." Mi Wei analyzed, "Can we infer that people who are contaminated with colors will not have their bodies dragged away, but will be executed on the spot."
Ke Xun suddenly said: "Maybe those other people who were dragged away were not corpses, but living bodies - Xin Beibei might still be alive."
Everyone thought of the coins in the pool at the same time - when Zhang Tianwei was found soaking in the large glass jar, there were coins with moon patterns belonging to him in the pool.
According to speculation, Zhang Tianwei was not dead at that time.
In this case, it is very likely that Xin Beibei is not dead.
Shi Zhendong wanted to go upstairs: "I want to go to that circular building to take a look. Maybe Beibei has not been put into the glass jar yet!"
No one was in the mood to eat breakfast at the moment, so they followed Shi Zhendong upstairs.
Arriving at the familiar open-air corridor on the fourth floor, the door of the circular building was still open, and the red door inside was also open, but the glass jar in which Zhang Tianwei had been soaked had disappeared without a trace.
The ground was clean as new, as if the red liquid had never appeared here.
"Which floor could Xin Beibei be on?" Mi Wei looked up at the copper stairs leading to the fifth and sixth floors.
"How about this, I'll climb up the ladder and take a look first." Ke Xun took the initiative to speak. This was indeed his plan yesterday.
The copper ladder was very strong, and Ke Xun climbed to the fifth floor in no time. Looking back, he found Mu Yiran following closely behind him.
Ke Xun smiled gently: "Are you concerned about me or are you concerned about me?"
Mu Yiran went up to the fifth floor quickly: "I just don't want someone to be left alone."
The two pushed open the wooden door of the fifth-floor hall and were quickly attracted by the eye-catching blue clock on the wall.
"It should be here." Ke Xun looked at the half-open blue door and immediately shouted to the people waiting in the corridor on the fourth floor: "It's on the fifth floor!"
Shi Zhendong and Zhu Haowen soon climbed up. Seeing Qin Ci also coming up, Ke Xun hurriedly shouted, "We don't need too many people. Try not to be alone!"
Qin Ci understood, through Mu Yiran’s analysis today, that being “alone” or even with very few people is very dangerous.
In future operations, it is best to keep more than three people together to avoid being deceived by some terrible thing.
The few people who came to the fifth floor used the method they used yesterday to "create wind" and forced the blue door open.
Although everyone had imagined the scene inside the door, when they saw the large blue glass jar with their own eyes, they couldn't help but step back.
There was more than half a bottle of blue liquid in a glass jar about two meters high. Xin Beibei's whole body was immersed in the liquid, with only her head floating above the water.
Seeing his girlfriend's condition, Shi Zhendong could no longer hold back and began to tremble violently: "Is this person... still Beibei? Beibei, Beibei! Can you hear me?!"
Xin Beibei's eyes were open, but her gaze was empty, as if she were a stone man.
"I'll call Sister Guo to come up and help!" After saying this, Ke Xun went back up the stairs to the fourth floor.
"Sister Guo? Xiao Guo?" Shi Zhendong was a little confused.
Zhu Haowen: "Sister Guo and Ke Xun are both from the blue team, they should be qualified to enter this room."
After a while, Guo Lixia came up "protected" by Wei Dong and Ke Xun: "That girl is not dead yet? How can we save her? We..."
Guo Lixia's words were quickly interrupted by the scene in front of her. This was the first time Sister Guo saw a human storage glass jar. Although she didn't scream, she couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my God..."
Mu looked at Ke Xun with a smile: "What are you going to do?"
"I may have to trouble Sister Guo," Ke Xun walked into the blue room without hesitation, looking at the glass jar that was almost as tall as himself, "Sister Guo is holding me up from below, I'll climb up and see if I can get the person out of it."
The glass jar was very slippery and there was no foothold at all, so it was too difficult to climb up alone.
Guo Lixia did not hesitate too much. She just said, "I'm down there. You can step on my shoulders to get in. It's no problem. I'm just afraid that this glass tank is too big. What if you, the team leader, fall into it?"
"Fuck, Sister Guo, you don't mean to scare people!" Ke Xun smiled and found that Mu Yiran looked at him with a hint of concern, so he smiled again.
"Okay, I'll try my best to hold your feet." Guo Lixia was also a person who dared to think and act, and she quickly followed Ke Xun into the room.
"Wait a minute," said Mu Yiran, who had a bundle of ropes in his hand. "I found this behind the wooden door just now. Tie it around your waist. It will be safer this way."
"This is a good idea!" Guo Lixia was the first to give a thumbs up. "Even if the team leader really slips in, we can all work together to pull him out! Brother Mu, you better hold on tight!"
Mu Yiran nodded lightly, and Wei Dong quickly grabbed the rope, fearing that something might happen to Ke Xun.
Shi Zhendong also came over: "Everyone hold it together, it's safe!"
So, with a rope tied around his waist, Ke Xun climbed onto Guo Lixia's shoulders, grabbed the mouth of the glass bottle, and put his head inside.
The entire blue water surface was like a small ocean, and Xin Beibei's long black hair floated on the sea like some kind of seaweed.
"Xin Beibei? Can you hear me?" Ke Xun called out tentatively.
But the other party did not answer.
Ke Xun almost put half of his body into the glass bottle, stretched out his long arms, and his hands finally touched the other person's hair. The cool and wet feeling was very uncomfortable.
Ke Xun didn't think twice and directly grabbed Xin Beibei's hair and tried to lift her up.
Ke Xun's strength was not too great, and he felt a little strenuous at first, but then he suddenly felt relaxed.
A violent scream came from outside the room, and soon there was an even sharper scream from Guo Lixia at her feet.
The people outside the blue gate saw a scene that would never be forgotten in their lives: Xin Beibei's head was pulled off so easily, a column of blue liquid flowed out from the broken neck, and the facial features of the head suddenly spurted out blue liquid...
"Plop——" the head returned to the water again and floated freely on the surface.
Ke Xun let go of his hand in confusion.
"Ke Xun! Come out quickly!" Mu Yiran pulled the rope in his hand, and finally brought the distracted Ke Xun back to his senses.
Guo Lixia was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, causing Ke Xun to fall to the ground as well.
Ke Xun's legs were also weak, but he still had to hold on to Guo Lixia. The two of them staggered out of the scary blue room, and no one looked back at the scene there.
Everyone looked at each other in silence. Ke Xun looked at Shi Zhendong, who looked as pale as death, and finally uttered three words from his throat: "I'm sorry..."
Shi Zhendong was like a puppet with its strings cut. After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Ke Xun: "I don't blame you..."
Zhu Haowen was relatively calm. He looked at the blue liquid on Ke Xun's hands and said, "You need to wash your hands quickly."
"Okay..." Ke Xun walked into the bathroom in the hall without a look of interest and washed his hands directly.
In order to avoid suspicion, Guo Lixia also went to the bathroom and washed her hands thoroughly.
When Ke Xun washed his hands and walked out of the bathroom, he found Zhu Haowen standing at the door, still with his usual expressionless face: "If she didn't die just now, then you have relieved her pain."
"I wish she was dead." Ke Xun felt like he had killed someone.
"You tried your best," Mu Yiran said, "You should have tried your best to save her last night, but unfortunately the other party was too powerful."
Ke Xun glanced at Mu Yiran and said, "It was her own shadow that dragged her away last night. I couldn't fight it. Her neck seemed to be tightly pinched by a pair of invisible hands."
Mu Yiran frowned, unable to figure out the cause and effect for a moment.
Everyone went back up the stairs to the fourth floor. The people below saw everyone's expressions, but no one asked any questions.
The group walked back to their own building along the corridor, and Ke Xun washed his hands again in the bathroom on the fourth floor.
"What happened?" Mi Wei asked Wei Dong in a low voice.
Wei Dong sighed: "Xin Beibei is dead."
"Like Zhang Tianwei?"
"Roughly the same."
Shi Zhendong stumbled downstairs. Guo Lixia, as a peer, expressed deep sympathy: " I'll go downstairs to check on him. I hope nothing happens to him."
Familiar music sounded, and the NPC's voice was still sweet: "A new day has come~ The castle has prepared a delicious breakfast for everyone, welcome to the first floor lobby to taste it! Our task today is still to store three large bottles of berries! Remember not to pollute the color!"
Miao Zipei looked up at the clock on the wall that was still covered with indigo patterns: "Let's go downstairs. We still have a lot of work to do today."
Indeed, although the workload has not changed, the number of members is slowly decreasing, which means that the workload is gradually increasing, but the time used to find signatures is getting less and less.
"Xin Beibei actually gave us some inspiration." Zhu Haowen said suddenly.
"Are you talking about the maze?" Mu said happily.
"She showed great interest in the maze and wanted to go there herself," Zhu Haowen analyzed. "I think this was not entirely her original intention. There was also a lot of temptation ."
Qin Ci nodded: "Let's go back to eat first, then assign the people to work, and the others will focus on searching the maze. According to yesterday's plan," Qin Ci stretched his head out of the window and looked at the maze below, "we can look down at and draw out its route."
Ke Xun's expression improved slightly: "We can still use the rope."
Mu Yiran looked at the rope in his hand and said, "Theseus used the ball of string when he solved the Minotaur's labyrinth."
Wei Dong was confused as he listened to this: "What kind of people are they?"
"That is the earliest maze in the world. It was probably built in 1600 BC and dates back to the Mycenaean period. The maze is located on the island of Chris in ancient Greece," said Mu Yiran.
Ke Xun recalled what he saw last night: "Regarding the maze, is there always someone guarding the maze?"
"Maybe. King Milos built the labyrinth for the Minotaur. The one guarding the labyrinth should be the Minotaur himself."
Ke Xun frowned and said, "I saw a man from the window last night, standing in the northeast corner of the maze. Xin Beibei had just been dragged away by the shadow. The man stood in the maze for a few minutes and then walked in."
