Chapter 41: Picture frame

If this is happening in the real world, it will probably feel nervous and think too much. But this is not the real world but the embarrassing door, so Lin Qiu Shi had to think about something more. He carefully observed the window and determined that the shadows in the bushes disappeared before returning to the bed. This time he did not dare to turn off the lights, but turned on the lights and tried to fall asleep.
Although the drowsiness is very shallow, but after Lin Qiu Shi tried to recall the feeling of peace of mind lying next to the candlestick in the south of the candle, he actually slept in the past - the candle in the south of the country is really a sleeping medicine, think about it all. Can have a role.
The next morning, Lin Qiu Shi was woken up by the alarm clock. After his simple washing, he planned to go to the south candle. Yesterday, Lin Qiushi didn't sleep too well. There were thick black circles under his eyes. The face of the person in the mirror was still strange, but if he looked closely, he still felt that he had one or two points in his temperament. Similar. Lin Qiu Shi changed his clothes and went to the opposite side to ring the door of the South Candle.
The door slammed open, and the person who opened the door was actually Tan jujube. Her face was ugly than Lin Qiu Shi, and she looked like a sleepless night. She did not say good to Lin Qiu Shi.
"Early." Minnan candle just got up and washed, and the chin was still dripping with water. He just walked out of the bathroom, heard Lin Qiushi's voice, turned his head and greeted him.
Tan jujube went to the bathroom.
Lin Qiu Shi was inexplicable, but he soon discovered the reason for the anger of Tan Zao jujube - the girl actually played the ground floor in the house for one night, and the place where the floor was laid was next to the big bed of the southern candle.
"She is sleeping on the floor?" Lin Qiu Shi looked at the ground for a few seconds.

Otherwise?
said Minnan Candle.
I don’t like sleeping with someone else.

Lin Qiu Shi: "..." He remembered the days and nights of sleeping with the candlesticks of Minnan, and so on, how this statement sounds weird.
Minnan Candle said: "Except you."
Lin Qiu Shi listened to this statement a little too embarrassed, then opened the topic: "How was you sleeping last night?"
"It's very good." Hannan candle replied, "The bed is good."
This bed is really very soft and very comfortable. It is very comfortable to lie down, but it is very comfortable. I am afraid that few people can enjoy it like a candle.
Tan Zao jujube washes his face and brushes his teeth and then mutteres, saying that the South Candle is really not an individual, actually let her hit the floor, causing her to be sore...
Minnan candle began to ignore her, seeing her endless, not salty and said: "Or will you sleep in bed tonight?"
Tan jujube: "Really true?"
Minnan Candle: "I can go and squeezing with Lin Lin."
Tan jujube: "..." You are a pair of dogs and men. Of course, she didn't dare to agree. Yesterday, she found out that something was wrong. She was afraid to run to the room in the south of the candle to make a night. If she dared to sleep alone, why should she run over and lie on the floor?
The breakfast was carried out upstairs. Lin Qiushi originally thought that the castle was only the butler and the owner, but did not expect to have several servants. These servants quickly left after breakfast, and they had no expression on their faces. The appearance of numbness was more like a puppet without feelings.
When I was having breakfast, the owner who had seen one side appeared yesterday. She still wore the long black dress, the strange hat, sitting on the edge of the window, and grabbed the food slowly with the big white hands. Stuffed into the mouth.
No one dared to talk to her, the atmosphere in the restaurant was quiet and scary.
Fortunately, after the meal, the owner disappeared again. According to the housekeeper, she should have gone to the studio on the roof. The butler said that the next is free time. There are several places where you should not go. One is the studio on the top of the building. The other is the unpainted warehouse on the sixth floor. They can be viewed at other places, but pay attention to the owner. I don't like people touching her paintings...
Everything he said, everyone carefully remembered, and even some people in the team carefully take notes, afraid to miss a word.
After the butler finished speaking, he left, leaving ten people in the restaurant.
"I want to go out and see, is there someone together?" Someone in the team started standing up and wanted to go out and find clues to the keys.
So they left the two teams in succession, basically two groups.
Lin Qiu Shi was going to invite the candlestick in the south of the country, and he saw that the new girl was twisted and twisted and walked to the front of the candle. He whispered: "Little brother, do you have a teammate? Can you bring me, I am so scared... ..." This little girl looks good, and the poor appearance also makes people feel pity. I only have a pity for the South Candle. I am a professional woman. I dress up the girl to be much better than the little girl in front of me. So even Lin Qiu Shi can see that the heart of the candle is not fluctuating, even thinking Eat another boiled egg.
"No." The candlestick was so categorically rejected.
"But, I am really scared, I will try not to drag your hind legs." The little girl began to tears again and again.
Minnan candle raised his eyebrows and privately gave Tan Jujube a look.
Tan Zao jujube hearted the gods, stood up and walked to the little girl, said: "Sorry, I asked him yesterday, you still go find someone else."
The little girl saw Tan Zao jujube, and there was a trace of indifference in her eyes. She wanted to say something again. The candlestick in the south of the country had already stood up, and waved at the jujube jujube, indicating the departure.
Tan jujube came out with the two behind him.
Lin Qiu Shi sat next to him and made an excuse to leave. It seems that there is a lot of benefit in the girl’s candle-dressing. At least, there is no need to worry about having a girl come to him to form a team.
"The newcomer is not quite right." After going out, Minnan Candle said this.
"Where isn't it right?" Tan Zao jujube did not see it. "She cried so badly yesterday..."
Minnan candle looked at Tan Zao jujube: "Do you think that people who are so courageous dare to come to me to form a team?"
Tan Zao jujube raised eyebrows: "Yes."
The beauty of the candlestick is not the kind of gentle beauty. On the contrary, it is full of aggressiveness and alienation. He is like a beautiful flower in the jungle, telling others in dazzling colors that this flower is poisonous. When you are a woman, you can also show weakness, but in the men’s clothing, you can’t have the habit of being in a weak position.
He sat there, but he picked up his eyebrows and couldn't help but retreat. He didn't dare to approach. Such a person, even Lin Qiu Shi, would not think about teaming with him.
"In case it is a color, it will be faint." Tan Zao jujube and they walked while observing the painting next to it. "Also, maybe."
Minnan candle said carelessly: "There are no more than ten people who have taken the initiative to join the team. No one is a newbie. She will not be an exception." Pretending that you are a novice has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is not easy for others to produce. Beware, the downside is that once the identity is identified, it will become the goal of the entire team rejection. After all, no one knows what the purpose of the person pretending to be a newbie is.
This castle is too big, just on the second floor, there are countless rooms. They walked from the second floor to the third floor and saw the only similarity. It was inside the castle, wherever there were all kinds of paintings. Even the place to go to the toilet has not been let go.
Lin Qiu-Shi doesn't know about art, and he doesn't know how the paintings of these paintings are, but the only thing he can be sure of is that these paintings are very uncomfortable. If you can, he would rather cover them with white cloth.
"Can we not touch the painting?" Tan Zao jujube also remembered the words of the housekeeper.
"No, no." Minnan Candleway, "Have you noticed his words?"
"Master does not like?" Lin Qiu Shi still remembers the original words of the housekeeper.
"Yes, it is the owner who doesn't like it, not the absolute one." The footsteps of the candlestick stopped in front of a picture, and the brow suddenly wrinkled.
"What's wrong?" Tan Zao jujube saw his face was wrong.
"Nothing." Minnan Candle said, "Do you understand painting?"
Tan jujube shakes his head: "I don't know, I didn't learn."
Minnan candle screamed: "I don't know. It seems that we can't see anything from the painting. Go to the upstairs room to see it."
Lin Qiu was stunned, and the three began to walk upstairs along the stairs.
The stairs are made of wood. When you step on it, it will make a clear squeak. The road leading to the top of the building is not limited to this. There are stone stairs on both sides of the castle to climb from the first floor to the top floor.
Most of the rooms in the old castle are locked, only a small part is open. These open rooms are almost full of all kinds of paintings. There are still people with scenery, but they are discussing When I went to the studio on the top of the building, there was a scream in the downstairs.
It was a woman’s screams, and when the other people arrived, the screaming people were gone, only the empty stairs.
"Who is calling?" A middle-aged man in the group asked.
"I don't know, we just arrived." Lin Qiushi said, "Have you come from a few floors?"
The middle-aged man said: "The third floor."
Lin Qiushi said: "We are on the sixth floor. The voice is definitely between the third floor and the fourth floor..."
Because of this voice, most people arrived at the location of the call, and soon they found the identity of the screamer.
"She is called Xiao Su, and I just joined the team." He was talking about a man, but his expression was full of horror. "She just said that she was going to the bathroom, but the result was gone."
"How many floors are you?" Lin Qiu Shi asked.
"The top floor." The man swallowed, "There is no toilet on the top floor, so she wants to come down..." The result appeared between the third and fourth floors, and disappeared after the screams. The world inside the door disappears into death, but no one knows how she triggered the condition of death.
"Let's find it again." Minnan Candle said, "What if it is a misunderstanding."
It seems that this can only be the case, but the man who lost his companion in just a few minutes seems to have been hit hard, and shivered to join another two-person group.
Yannan candle looked at Lin Qiu Shi and said: "Would we like to go to the top of the building to see?"
Lin Qiushi said: "Okay."
Tan Zao jujube muttered next to me, saying that you are really dangerous where to run, not afraid of something...
Minnan candle does not matter, saying: "Where you can get out of the accident, it is the right thing to get the key out early. This kind of thinking is the misunderstanding of your newbie. Some things can be avoided without hiding."
Tan jujube snorted and did not speak. These things, saying that it is easy to do really difficult, can really face the death and ghosts like the South Candle, and do not know how many times of sinister desperation to go through the door.
They went all the way up and soon reached the eighth floor of the castle, which is the roof.
The roof is an old attic, still full of paintings, but these paintings seem to be slightly different from the downstairs. Lin Qiu Shi observed for a while before he suddenly said: "Is these paintings new paintings?"
Minnan candle sniffed: "It should be, there is the smell of paint."
The footsteps of Tan Zao jujube suddenly stopped in front of a painting. There was some doubt between her expressions. After a moment of hesitation, she said: "Look, are you a little strange?"
After Lin Qiushi went to Tanzao Zao, he saw the strange painting in Tanzao's mouth.
It is indeed very strange, this painting is a woman's back, the style is always twisted, the woman's back is infinitely stretched, around the stairs, like a huge whirlpool.
"What do you think?" Tan jujube asked.
"Women's ... back?" If you look at the content, it is very difficult to recognize what is inside the painting, but whether it is Tan Zao jujube and Lin Qiu Shi, the first time I saw this painting, the same is true. The content - a frightened woman who is climbing the stairs, she seems to be chasing something, the back reveals inexplicable fear.
"New painting." The sound of the candlestick in the south of the country came, "The paint did not dry."
Tan Zao jujube and Lin Qiu Shi looked at each other and thought of the same thing. Tan Zao jujube touched the goosebump on his arm and smiled strongly: "This, this should not be..."
"It is estimated." Minnan Candle said, "You can let the girl's male partner come over and see." His gaze solidified on the painting, whispering, "Look at this is his teammate who disappeared."
......
Xiaosu just wants to go to the toilet.
She came down from the seventh floor and hurriedly searched for toilets on the sixth floor. There were a lot of toilets in the old castle. She quickly found the place she was looking for at the end of the sixth floor.
Into the toilet, Xiaosu found a compartment is about to sit down, but noticed a strange portrait on the wall in front of him. It was a woman wearing a black hat and a black gown. Her face was pale, her eyes were half closed, and the rain ran down her chin along the brim. The face was white and long, making people feel inexplicably flustered. Most of the paintings in the castle are abstract, and it is almost impossible to identify what is drawn without knowing the background. However, the content of the picture in front of the picture is very clear, even Xiao Su’s first eye doubts whether this is a self-portrait of the hostess of the castle.
This painting may be an important clue... Xiao Su stood up and walked in front of the scroll and wanted to observe it carefully. However, the ghost made the difference. After being close to the scroll, Xiao Su seemed to have reached out to the scroll like a demon. When she was awake, her palm was pressed on the scroll.
"Ah!!" Xiao Su suddenly stunned and took back her hand. She felt a wet hand on her hand, and with a muddy after the rain, she looked up again, but the picture was changed. Su Shi rounded his eyes and looked at the painting in front of him... The painting was still the painting, but the woman with a pale face in the painting disappeared.
Xiaosu saw this scene, never dared to stop, turned and rushed away, she wanted to go upstairs to find her teammates, feet on the solid wooden stairs, issued a series of rapid noise.
"Hey." - The crisp footsteps echoed in the old castle. Xiao Su ran and ran, ran and ran, ran around the stairs for a long time, but the ladder in front of him seemed to have no end of the cycle. All the sights have solidified, and only the stairs in front of them are still moving forward.
"Ah, ah, ah." Breathing fiercely, Xiao Suzhen was sweating all over her body. Her physical strength was exhausted and she was finally running.
However, the footsteps of the cockroaches were still ringing, and Xiaosu smelled the smell of the rain. She shivered and turned her head, saw a black shadow, and stood quietly at the entrance of the stairs. No, it’s not a black shadow. It’s a woman in black. Her body is wet with rain, her face is pale, her right hand is holding a huge picture frame, her black pupil is like two black holes, and her gaze is dead. The little thing in front of me.
Xiao Su was trembled, but she couldn’t speak without a word. She used both hands and feet and used her last strength to cry and climb forward.
"Hey." The footsteps sounded again, but this time the footsteps were not too slow, so they followed behind Xiaosu.
Xiao Suzhen is sweaty under her body. The whole person is like being wet by the water. Her last strength is also exhausted. It can only be like a pool of mud, and it can't move on the ground.
The woman came to her, the room was dry, but the water droplets on her body continued to flow down, and even a part of it fell on Xiaosu.
Xiaosu looked up and saw that the woman had pulled out a picture frame. On her pale face, there was an indescribably distorted smile. The mouth covered with red lipstick smashed a sultry arc, and then, the woman Waving a picture frame and squatting at her.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
......
The male partner downstairs quickly returned to the top of the building, confirming the speculation that Lin Qiu Shi saw.
"It's her, it's her!!" The male companion began to groan as soon as he saw the picture. His expression was terrified. "She wears this dress!"

In case this painting was painted yesterday?
Someone in the crowd trembled.
Are you sure?

"It can't be yesterday!!" The expression of the male partner almost collapsed. He wanted to touch the picture, but he didn't dare to reach out. "She didn't wear this dress yesterday! This dress was replaced today!!

The old castle did provide them with new clothes, and they were very beautiful. Lin Qiuishi also saw the clothes in his cabinet, but almost everyone else in the team put it on - after all, this is a horrible world, whoever changes clothes Know what will happen.
Just don't know this girl named Xiaosu, why did she suddenly change her clothes?
"She was turned into a painting." The man muttered lowly. "She was turned into a painting..."

What are you doing before she goes to the toilet?
In the face of such a horrible fact, the attitude of Minnan Candle is still very calm, he said,
Speak carefully.

The man trembled: "Nothing, I didn't do anything, just went to look at the painting here, then she was going to the bathroom..."
Minnan Candle: "Is there any special painting?"
The man shook his head.
Minnan Candleway: "Go, go to the toilet on the sixth floor."
So they ran to the women's toilet on the sixth floor.
After checking for a lap, there was nothing special about the toilet, but Lin Qiushi always felt that there was something wrong with it. Seeing that the brow furrow was also wrinkled, it was almost the same as him.
"Wait." Lin Qiu-Shi suddenly remembered something. He looked around and finally determined what was wrong. "In this room, why didn't you paint?"
When this was said, everyone noticed that something was wrong.
There is almost no place for painting in the castle. Whether it is a toilet, a bedroom, a study, a hallway, or almost every corner, there is a picture frame that is framed.
But the toilet in front of me didn't, I searched every corner, and there was no shadow of painting.
"I don't know." Minnan Candle said, "Is it not originally, or is the original painting taken away?"
No one knows the answer to this question, the only one who knows the answer has become part of the painting.
The silence of death spreads among the crowd.
The bells in the old castle broke the silence. It was the bell that announced the lunch time. Everyone listened and started to walk towards the second floor.
Although the atmosphere is horrible, the food to eat still has to eat, and the sleep still has to sleep.
Today's lunch is still a steak.
Everyone has no appetite, except for the candle.
The candlesticks in the south of the country are elegant and smooth, and it is hard to cut the style of the steak by him.
About that he ate too much, everyone's eyes were gathered on him. The South Candle was obviously used to this kind of eye-catching feeling. After eating the steak very calmly, he wiped his mouth and said: "How? ? Not taste?"
Lin Qiushi: "No... it’s a bit of an appetite."
"Good to eat." Minnan candle looked around and smiled. "Maybe it is the last meal."
Everyone: "..."
Lin Qiu Shi's face is helpless: "It is unlucky to say this."
Minnan Candle: "Don't you say that a few Geely words don't have to die?" He said, "Congratulations to make a fortune? Long life is 100 years old?"
Lin Qiu Shi is crying and laughing, but the words of Minnan Candles do make sense. The fact that death has never been changed by people has never been changed. It is better to calm down and enjoy every minute of life. The reason is that this is true. several.
Under the comfort of Minnan Candle, Lin Qiu Shi had to eat a few more mouthfuls.
The hostess did not attend their lunch this time until they were about to leave, only to be late and pass by.
Although it was only one side, Lin Qiu Shi still noticed that her pale face had a bit of a slap in the face, as if she had just finished eating some wonderful food, her eyebrows were all joy, although this joy was on that weird face, only It will look terrible.
"Let's go to a nap." Minnan candlestick proposed after lunch.
"Well," Tan Jujube did not sleep well yesterday, and there was no spirit in the morning.
Who knows that Minnan Candle has glanced at her and said: "Are you still playing the floor?"
Tan jujube: "... can't you let me sleep in bed?"
Minnan Candle: "You can sleep in your own bed, as for my bed." His tone was calm and cold. "You are not qualified yet."
Tan jujube: "..." Minnan candle you this dog. Day. 2k novel reading network
