For the rest of the time, Guo Lixia and Ke Xun were busy working.
Guo Lixia did not object too much to Ke Xun's suggestion of nailing the window, which made Ke Xun more firmly believe that the so-called shadow's temptation would only work under special circumstances and would not control this person all the time.
What the bewitched person does is more dependent on the person's own physical strength and intelligence - Ke Xun even felt fortunate that the two people chosen by Shadow were not very powerful characters. If the bewitched person was Mu Yiran, it would be likely that all the members would not be able to escape from the painting.
To be cautious, when all members finished their work, they gathered in the hall and showed everyone that their hands and pockets were clean.
Ke Xun proposed the idea of ​​nailing the window, and after some discussion, everyone thought this was a good idea.
But the most important thing right now is to find the signature. The first place we have to go is the maze. We can also get the wooden boards, tools, etc. from the rooms in the maze.
Before taking action, Ke Xun went to the bathroom, where he "unexpectedly met" Mu Yiran.
Mu Yiran showed Ke Xun her beautiful profile: "Did you make up the plan of nailing the window to deceive someone?"
"Those who know me well are delighted." Ke Xun couldn't help but smile with his teeth showing.
"This kind of bewitchment is just as I thought before. Once the right time and the right conditions are met, this person will probably receive instructions from the depths of his soul." Mu Yiran washed his hands by the sink.
"But I still can't figure out when Guo Lixia was bewitched?" Hao Wen'er's voice suddenly sounded.
Ke Xun then saw Zhu Haowen in the bathroom mirror, and suddenly remembered that Xin Beibei had called him a gay yesterday. For some reason, he felt a sense of mutual sympathy.
"I have also carefully speculated on this time period," Mu Yiran said, "This time will not happen during the morning labor, because I asked Weidong, he did not leave our purple room all morning, so Guo Lixia had no chance to contaminate the purple."
"How can we be sure that the color she was contaminated with is purple?" Wei Dong's voice suddenly rang out, and then the man squeezed over and washed his hands by the sink.
Ke Xun tilted his head to look at Wei Dong. He couldn't explain where he got his experience from, but he could basically tell whether a man was straight or gay at a glance. He instantly felt that Wei Dong's face appeared in the mirror, making the whole picture less harmonious...
Zhu Haowen directly responded to Wei Dong's words: "Guo Lixia must have polluted purple, because she is blue, and only blue plus purple can form indigo."
"Why must it be indigo... Oh~~" Wei Dong thought of the answer under everyone's encouraging gaze, "Because from yesterday until noon when Mi Wei got into trouble, the watch has always been indigo - the blue and purple pollution caused by Guo Lixia is also indigo! Indigo changes from indigo to indigo, which is equivalent to no change, so we can't find it!"
Ke Xun had a teachable expression on his face: "The painting is very cunning. This will give us a false impression: no one has contaminated the color, and there are no deceived betrayers among the members. Everyone will relax their vigilance because of this."
Indeed, it was precisely because of this relaxation that everyone tolerated Guo Lixia.
Zhu Haowen said: "If we follow this time point, Guo Lixia's behavior of polluting the color can only have occurred before breakfast."
Mu Yiran continued, "After getting up in the morning, we all went to the circular building to check Xin Beibei's body. At that time, everyone was together, so it was unlikely that anything would happen. According to this analysis, the most likely time for the accident to happen was after Shi Zhendong and Guo Lixia left us."
Wei Dong was confused: "Have these two left us? What did they do?"
Ke Xun also recalled the scene in the morning: "Indeed, Shi Zhendong was in a bad went downstairs alone. Sister Guo was worried and said she wanted to persuade him, so she followed him downstairs. When we got to the second floor, we saw Sister Guo there giving him earnest advice."
Everyone was silent, as if this was the only time available.
"I'll go ask Shi Zhendong about the specific situation at that time later." Zhu Haowen said.
All the staff finally gathered in the hall, and Miao Zipei suggested untying Mi Wei: "Mi Wei may be able to help us find an autograph."
Indeed, Mi Wei is currently the person who most urgently wants to find an autograph.
When everyone was hesitating, Shi Zhendong said, "What happened at noon today was something that no one expected. We all have to focus on finding autographs and cannot be distracted to take care of other people, so... let's put Xiaomi in a difficult position for the time being." Shi Zhendong looked at Mi Wei sincerely, "Just wait for our good news in the lobby."
Mi Wei gave a mocking sneer and said no more.
"How about I stay with her? She'll be lonely in the hall alone." Guo Lixia seemed to be atonement for herself.
Mi Wei finally snorted coldly: "No need."
Guo Lixia's words reminded Ke Xun: "We can't leave anyone alone in the hall!"
So, Wei Dong and Miao Zipei stayed to guard Mi Wei, while the rest of them went into the maze together.
Wei Dong thought that being in the hall was a leisurely job, at least he didn't have to go through the tunnel, but in the end he was forced to listen to two ears of last words.
Mi Wei told Miao Zipei her last words: "Just tell my mom that I'm going abroad as an exchange student. Video calls are not allowed there. In the future, please imitate me and send emails to my mom... Anyway, my mom doesn't care about me, she only cares about my brother. I didn't go home for the New Year for two years in college, and she didn't even ask..."
Wei Dong wanted to interrupt her several times, to tell her that the severity of the death incident was not something that could be explained away by making up a random excuse in reality, but he held back and did not speak.
This way Mi Wei can "leave" with more peace of mind.
The last words were left for more than an hour, and everyone spent the rest of the time discussing the paintings. Miao Zipei said: "The shadows in Fauvist paintings are expressed with various colors, which is in line with some of the settings in the paintings - shadows gain some kind of energy by squeezing our colors, and shadows may need colors."
Wei Dong thought it made sense. "What we do every day is to store berries, which is actually to store colors. It seems that colors play a very important role in paintings," Wei Dong said with a helpless sigh. "Do you think that if we really use wooden boards to block all the windows, can we block the shadow?"
Miao Zipei thought he couldn't answer this question and looked at Mi Wei.
Mi Wei shed tears again: "I think that those who meet the conditions for death will definitely die tonight. This has nothing to do with the windows. However, those wooden boards should be able to block the transportation of **, so as to avoid the tragedy of Xin Beibei and Zhang Tianwei."
Although Weidong was doing a daunting art job, he was once a graduate of an art academy, so had some common ground with these two people: "The solutions to the previous paintings have a lot to do with the original intention and purpose of the artist. What do you think the author of this painting wants to express?"
Miao Zipei thought for a moment and said, "Rongrang is a very young painter who has only come to prominence in the past two years. He relies on his unique Fauvist revival paintings. Because of his obsessive worship of Fauvism, he sneers at other schools of painting."
Wei Dong looked down at the colorful shadow under his feet: "It can be seen that this painter is very twisted. - You should have seen the original painting of "Shadow", what is in the painting?"
"These are some very abstract expressions. Some of the characters look like silhouettes, but they all have very gorgeous figures. Those colorful and thick lines drawn next to the characters, at least I think the author wants to express shadows." Miao Zipei expressed his point of view.
"You just said the characters looked like silhouettes?" Wei Dong asked.
"Yes, some of the characters have the effect of prints, a kind of black and white pattern, or a pure black human figure." Miao Zipei seemed to understand something when he said this, "According to this, the main body and shadow in this painting are the same as putting the cart before the horse?"
Mi Wei's lifeless eyes gradually became bright: "Is this what the painting wants to express? The shadow should be the master, and ** should be the shadow's vassal!"
The other two nodded, thinking that Mi Wei had hit the point.
"Although I understand all this, how should we solve this problem? Where should we find the painter's signature?" Miao Zipei was still at a loss.
"What's the special meaning of the maze in the painting?" Wei Dong asked.
"It's hard to say. Maybe the painter admires ancient Greek culture, or maybe he wants to use the maze to express his wisdom. Some Europeans still like to paint mazes. They believe that mazes represent wisdom," said Miao Zipei.
As the three were discussing, the other members came back.
Wei Dong asked hurriedly: "How is it? What's in the underground passage? Can it lead to the castle?"
Everyone looked exhausted, even Guo Lixia was panting from exhaustion. It was unknown what role this woman played in all this.
Qin Ci wiped his sweat and sat down: "The underground passage does lead to the castle. We went to every building in the castle, but it was pitch black inside. Even with the light on the phone, we couldn't see anything inside."
Ke Xun and his companions temporarily placed the wooden boards and tools they found in the hall: "At present, the only thing left to go is the top floor of the circular building."
Indeed, the circular building has a total of six floors. The first three floors are filled with empty glass jars. The fourth floor represents red, the color that had once been used to extract Zhang Tianwei. The fifth floor represents blue, where Xin Beibei is stored.
Everyone was a little panicked by Xin Beibei's beheading in the morning, and no one had time to go to the sixth floor to find out what was going on inside.
"How about this, Yiran and I will go to the sixth floor and ask everyone to nail up all the bedroom windows first!" Ke Xun's proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.
Thus, Ke Xun and Mu Yiran were able to "live together and fly together" and act independently.
But this trip was not a pleasant one. When the two climbed up the copper ladder outside the fourth floor to the fifth floor, they saw a horrifying and confusing scene: in the open blue door, the half bottle of blue liquid in the glass jar had disappeared, but Xin Beibei's body was still in the jar.
Without the obstruction of the blue liquid, people can see the condition of the corpse very clearly - Xin Beibei's height is only about one meter, and the whole person is shrunk proportionally.
Because of the failed rescue in the morning, Xin Beibei's head and body are now separated , although they were kept in the same glass jar.
