Chapter Twenty-Six: The Last Prophetic Painting
Li Yin kept falling, and at this moment, he thought that he might really not be able to live.
In retrospect, entering this apartment was not actually an accidental result.
At the beginning, after graduating from university, Li Yin, who decided to leave home to study and live, chose to live in a low-rent house near the location of the apartment. And the reason for this is because he stumbled upon it, and his father would go to an area where he would concentrate every year, and he accidentally found a lot of information in his father's study to investigate all the buildings in that area. The breadth of the information is staggering.
Especially in the area around the apartment area, my father investigated many times, and the detailed property information, the year and time of construction, etc., were recorded in detail.
At that time, Li Yin doubted what his father wanted to do, and what was the thing that made him so persistent?
He wants to understand his father's thoughts, what is it about his father, who has always been mercenary and money-oriented, so obsessed with things? He would love to know the answer.
So, I chose a low-rent house close to that apartment area.
That day, he had to go out to find a job because his writing was not going well, so he entered the apartment area where his father had been investigating. It wasn't the first time he had entered, but that day was the first time he had entered that alley.
It was also for this reason that I entered that apartment.
At that time, when he learned that his father knew Midnight's mother, he began to suspect that this apartment had something to do with what his father wanted to investigate. At first he couldn't imagine this, he thought it was just a coincidence.
But then, he felt more and more that maybe everything was inevitable. In the dark, perhaps, there is something similar to fate that ties everything together.
His gaze never took off the night, and he wished to have her figure fully engraved into his mind at the end of his life, just as the face that had been imprinted into his soul when he first saw her.
However, at this moment, he felt that the scene in front of him had changed dramatically, and the next moment, he and Midnight were both lying on the ground!
And in front of ...... This is the hellish apartment!
"Apartment? We're back? Li Yin couldn't believe his eyes, he stared at the apartment in front of him, and even suspected that everything was an illusion, another way for the apartment to play with them.
It's the same in the middle of the night, she was already completely desperate, but at this time, she was desperate and appeared in front of the apartment!
At this time, suddenly a line of black handwriting appeared on the ground, and the handwriting gradually formed, becoming this paragraph: "Take Pu Shenyu out of the apartment in the 2505 room, and you can live!" ”
Shangguan Mian nimbly moved to the entrance of a stone cave on the narrow cliff wall, and slammed in, her speed was extremely fast, but the evil spirits chasing behind her were faster than her!
After all, the apartment does not impose restrictions on this evil spirit.
Shangguan Mian knew that she didn't have many hole cards, bombs, poisons, and guns couldn't hurt the ghost body, and she had recently begun to consider starting to study from a religious point of view, but there was still nothing to gain for the time being. In such a situation, the only way to compete is to rely on speed.
Since she was a child, she has experienced countless life and death crises, and in order to survive, she has experienced many unimaginable horrors, and it is common for her to wander on the edge of death, so she has never felt much fear after entering the apartment for so long, after all, as long as it is not certain death, it will not be able to form any mental stimulation for her.
For Shangguan Mian, it is like a line in "Hamlet", the world is like a prison, and the apartment is just a cell in poor conditions. And to her, ghosts and all that were nothing compared to the horrors of humans she had seen in the dark world.
At this time, she had already felt that the terrifying evil spirit behind her was approaching, but it was impossible to use bombs in this narrow stone cave, Shangguan Mian rushed into a fork in the stone cave and entered a relatively empty area, and then, she turned around, and had already taken out the modified Desert Eagle, and looked at the evil spirit approaching her with cold eyes.
Still dressed in black, his whole body seemed to be wrapped in black, his hands were gradually raised, and the evil spirit moved towards Shangguan Mian. And she immediately fired a shot to the head, this shot directly through the head, and the blood suddenly rushed out, but the body didn't even move!
Then the poisonous needle flew away, and it also stabbed the head, but the poisonous needle was covered by a cloud of black gas, completely corroded, and finally devoured!
Shangguan Mian saw that he couldn't stop this ghost no matter what, so he could only continue to flee backwards.
At this time, suddenly from another fork in the road, a person came out. Precisely...... Li Yong!
And Li Yong saw the man in black at a glance, and the man raised his head at this time, only to see a white skeleton under his hair!
Li Yong stopped suddenly, he was still some distance away from the ghost, but he felt a chill.
Isn't that the skeleton you just had?
As a doctor who is accustomed to seeing life and death, but seeing a skeleton standing straight in front of him, this absurd scene makes Li Yong's inherent values continue to collapse. Although he had long realized that there was a supernatural element in the thing that killed Qingli in the first place, he still ...... when he saw it with his own eyes Is that him?
Today, it is Qingli's sacrifice, and Li Yong has definitely not forgotten this. The last time I went to Twilight Street to worship, it was also because of this.
This ghost...... Could it be that the one who killed Qingli was this ghost?
At this moment, the fear was suppressed by the anger. Ying Qingli is the most important person in Li Yong's heart, and she is the person who is as important as his life, even though she has been dead for nearly 20 years, Li Yong still can't forget her. Missing her, missing her, in order to find out who killed her, became the whole meaning of Li Yong's life. And no matter how he investigated, everything was like a stone sinking into the sea, and the truth was like falling into the clouds.
However, he was not going to give up anyway. Qingli's death is the biggest obsession in his life. Whether it was a human or a ghost who killed her, he had to find out everything! So he decided to run Zhengtian Hospital by all means, have a good relationship with the big people in K City, and expand the influence of the hospital, all for the purpose of getting more money and power, once he Li Yong has enough money and power, then he can further investigate the truth of Qingli's death through huge influence, and even by getting acquainted with people from the judicial organs, exert pressure so that the police do not give up the pursuit of this case, and at the same time, you can also learn more about the areas that you didn't know before, Even if it is a supernatural phenomenon, he can understand everything hidden behind the back of normal society!
Moreover, the hospital, as the place in charge of people's life and death, is also the closest place to horror legends. While running this hospital, Li Yong was also thinking: If there are really ghosts and ghosts in this world, I can be regarded as killing a lot of patients, so will they become ghosts to take revenge on me? If so, then maybe I can grasp some of the laws of the Netherworld, and even investigate the clues of the real murderer who killed Doctor Ying. If that really exists...... Then I must master it!
He told Li Yin that in this world, capable people dominate everything, and that was his true words. As a doctor, he can easily control people's life and death, and anyone, as long as he becomes a patient, is equal in front of him. If a person becomes a ghost after death, then there is a higher and higher level of existence, then he must also touch it and approach it!
Even if he consumes his whole life, he will come into contact with this existence!
And now, he finally has face-to-face contact with this "existence".
At this time, Li Yin and Midnight both rushed towards the revolving door of the apartment door! That door is the dividing line between life and death!
When the two of them entered the apartment and stepped on the marble floor, they finally entered the area of absolute safety!
"Midnight, let's ......" Li Yin grabbed Midnight's arm and said, "We, are we really back?" Did you really escape back? ”
He was really afraid at this time, everything in front of him was an illusion created by that ghost, and he was really afraid that the midnight in front of him was transformed by an evil ghost, and the next moment all the good things would become a hellish scene again.
And all this shows that the black line is real?
"Pu Shenyu in the apartment? In Min's room? Midnight muttered, "How is such a thing possible?" ”
"I don't think it's possible, but ......," Li Yin thought of that line.
It's not a ghost that appears in the blood letter, and entering the apartment can't remove the curse. When he leaves the apartment again, the ghost will chase him again. And they can't stay in an apartment forever.
And this line of words is a deal between ghosts and them, of course, this transaction is meaningless, this is not a blood letter indication, there is no credibility at all, although the blood letter indication will play word games, but there will definitely be no lies. But that line of words is not worth believing at all.
What if the ghost tears up the contract? Who can reason with ghosts?
However, the problem is that if it is done, then there is a silver lining, if it is not done...... Sooner than in the apartment, he will die at the hands of that ghost, unless there is a way to bring that ghost into the apartment!
But how easy is that?
"Why do we want to take Pu Shenyu out?" Midnight sensitively grasped the key: "In other words, Pu Shenyu's existence is crucial to that ghost." ”
"Well," Li Yin also nodded: "I think so too." However, no matter what, as long as this ghost is not destroyed, we, even if we are in the apartment now, will ...... if we want to go out in the future."
In any case, it is necessary to check the current condition of the deep rain.
took the elevator to the 25th floor, and after the two of them stepped out of the elevator, they both felt a burst of nervousness. Not long after, I came to the door of room 2505 where Min Xiyu lived.
Li Yin turned the handle of the door, but opened the door directly. The door, unlocked, opened it, and I saw a girl sitting in front of a chair painting!
She turned her head in shock, watched Li Yin and Midnight come in, opened her mouth wide in surprise, and said, "You guys, why did you come in here?" Is it ......?"
She immediately thought of something, could it be that these two were also the same as Feng Yuxian, and made a deal with the demon?
Midnight saw Feng Yuxian who fell to the ground at a glance, and Shenyu, who seemed flustered, she had already guessed something.
"Don't come here!" She shouted, "It's almost over, when I'm done with this picture, the ghost will be dead, and all of us will be saved!" ”
She was very nervous at the moment, if these two were the same as Feng Yuxian, the two joined forces, and she would not be able to defeat them no matter what! After all, his physique is very weak due to being in a wheelchair for a long time, but Li Yin and Ying Ziye both experienced many life and death adventures after entering the apartment, and their physique is many times stronger than ordinary people. Especially Li Yin, who has been in the apartment for nearly two years, he usually goes to martial arts training, although he is still far from a real practitioner, but it is more than enough to deal with deep rain.
Feng Yuxian is a person who has lost his mind, but Li Yin is very smart, Shen Yu is very clear, and he is reasonable to Li Yin, so he immediately said this sentence.
And even when she was talking, she didn't stop the paintbrush in her hand. Her heart is now full of stars, and the life and death moments of stars affect her heart.
And at this time, Xingchen also felt that he was about to reach his limit. The raised stone he had grabbed already had several cracks, and if he continued like this, he knew very well what was waiting for him.
No, don't...... He doesn't want to die! There has never been such a hope of surviving as at this moment. He has lived in the shadow of his brother for a long time, and finally found the value of survival, that is, deep rain.
He is hopelessly and completely in love with Deep Rain. I want to hug her well, keep her away from all the pain and despair of the past, and heal all the wounds in her heart...... Even if he wants to continue to live in that desperate apartment, even if he still has to go through that terrible blood word indication, as long as he is with Shenyu, then he can still face it with a smile!
And if you die, you will never see deep rain again.
This, to the stars, is more terrifying than death itself!
"I love the stars!" Deep Rain shouted, "I love him!" He is the only person who identifies with me, the only person who is willing to love me, the only person who understands me, cherishes me, and treats me as a normal person. So I must save him, even if it is to enter this apartment! ”
Li Yin and Midnight both felt very shocked. Deep rain is actually the same as the silver night, and they all voluntarily choose to enter the apartment for the sake of their loved ones!
As an affectionate person, Li Yin also sympathized with Shenyu in his heart.
"Okay." Li Yin nodded and said, "I'll help you too, and I'll leave the paint to me, but ...... Is the coloring process necessarily necessary? ”
"I don't know, but the 'spell' of the painting may have something to do with the coloring. The painted painting also appears more realistic and clear. ”
She was very grateful to Li Yin and Midnight at this time, under the contract of life and death, under the terrifying threat of ghosts, they chose to believe in her and help her!
At this point, the line is finally complete. And Shenyu felt that the ghost was still not dead.
"The paint is ready." Midnight handed the palette to Deep Rain and said, "Quick! We are short on time and there may be residents who will be brought to the door of the apartment......"
Li Yong and that ghost are now separated by less than ten meters. Shangguan Mian had already escaped far away at this time.
"Is that you? If it's you who killed Qingli......"
Li Yong had no fear at this time, and he let out a thunderous roar: "I will never let you go, if there is a ghost, then even if I am killed by you, I will turn into the most terrible ghost to claim your life!" ”
However, as soon as Li Yong's cruel words were put down, he felt a trembling coldness. However, he only heard a voice in his ear: "Do you really want to die?" ”
He quickly looked over, and a white human head appeared on his shoulder, it was the dead Murong Mirage!
At this moment, Murong Mirage has become a part of the evil spirit. Then the head opened a mouth the size of a football and pounced towards Li Yong!
Li Yong hurriedly turned his face sideways to the ground, and after rolling twice, he found that the head was missing.
Immediately after, he suddenly felt a wave of nausea, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and then a large pile of black hair gushed out of his mouth, and a disgusted face gradually poured out of his mouth...... Murong Mirage's eyes were staring at Li Yong!
At this time, the stars were still struggling to support themselves, and Kamiya Sayoko had already fled to the stone cave opposite.
He now knows very well that the next one is himself. That ghost, will kill him immediately.
At this moment, suddenly, the fast stone finally cracked completely, and when he fell down, his body was bound by a large bundle of black hair!
At the same time, in the middle of the night, I suddenly saw an oil painting outside the window! The painting hangs on the windowsill, and on top of it, the stars are tied to their bodies by their hair!
At this time, Midnight suddenly saw the stars tied with hair outside the window, and immediately said to Shenyu, "Shenyu...... Deep rain! Look at the picture in the window."
Shenyu turned his head to look, and suddenly the brush almost fell off.
At this point, just black the last part of the ghost's face and cheek, and the painting is complete. But the ghost actually drew this prophetic picture for her!
Obviously, if that ghost dies now, the stars will fall and fall into the abyss!
Prophetic paintings, as long as they are not fully colored, are still unfinished and cannot form a curse. And on this painting, there is only the hair of the ghost, which will not form a curse because of this, at least it needs to have a positive face.
Deep Rain knew very well that it was the ghost threatening her! And this prophetic painting is mostly real, and that ghost does have the ability to threaten her like this!
It's obvious...... Now the life of the stars is linked to the ghosts, and killing the ghosts is equivalent to killing the stars!
She suddenly grabbed the painting, avoided Li Yin and Midnight, and said, "You guys, don't come here!" ”
Now only the last blackened part remains, and Li Yin and Midnight can do it too. She knew very well that the two of them wanted the ghost to die to save their lives.
"If you let go of the stars, I'll give you the painting!" Deep Rain yells at the window, "You put the stars back!" ”
If you think about it, she could only draw a black shadow on this ghost in the past, and I am afraid that it was because her right hand was the embodiment of the ghost, and it was impossible for the ghost to draw itself and cause this curse to come true.
But now that Shenyu can naturally draw this ghost with her new right hand, the ghost threatens her with the life of the stars...... What to do? What to do?
It is impossible for the ghost to keep his promise, and there is no other way to live. Now, there is simply no other way.
So far...... What to do? What to do? If you have executed the Blood Letters six or more times, you will be able to use the hidden rules of the apartment to erase the Blood Letters and bring the stars back to the apartment.
However, this solution will not work. After all, she is still only a new resident, Li Yin has already saved Midnight and only executed the blood word four times, and only Ke Yinyu has executed the blood word instructions six times in this apartment, but she is also in the No. 6 forest area now!
There is no way around it.
She knew very well that once she handed over the painting, the stars were dead. However, if it is not handed in, then ...... At this time, a black hand was stretched out in front of the window. The meaning is clear...... Either hand over the painting, or let the stars die!
Deep Rain trembled and walked to the window, and she felt her feet go limp.
No matter what you do, can't you save the stars?
"Please, you'll spare the stars, won't you? Good no good? Please, please spare him...... I can do whatever I want, I can continue to draw prophetic pictures for you, I can kill as many people as I want for you, but please spare the stars......"
As long as you can save the stars and sacrifice the life of anyone in this world, Shenyu will not have any hesitation.
including, her own life.
At this time, Li Yin and Midnight were also thinking quickly, in the current situation, how to save Xingchen and be able to kill this undead.
However, no matter how you think about it, you feel that this is a desperate death, and the sacrifice of the stars is inevitable. However, after learning about the relationship between Xingchen and Shenyu, Li Yin really couldn't ignore Xingchen and lay out.
The Silver Night siblings who knew the whereabouts of the second contract fragment, and the residents who might have the fourth contract fragment in their hands, were all in Forest Six...... Thinking of this, Li Yin knew very well that sacrificing the stars was the wisest. Moreover, if he and Midnight leave the apartment, his life will not be in danger. But...... Really, can you really sacrifice the stars?
Suddenly, Deep Rain said, "Okay, let's take a step back!" You immediately put the stars in the safety of Forest No. 6, and as soon as you do, I will immediately draw ......."
At this moment, the painting she was holding suddenly tilted slightly, and the black paint that had not dried suddenly poured down, completely blackening the blank part!
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from outside the apartment! Then, the black hand reached back!
Xingchen's body suddenly fell!
"No—"
With a desperate cry in the deep rain, the oil painting was blown to the sky by the wind.
The hair in Li Yong's mouth was gone, and the black-clothed ghost in front of him also disappeared.
From now on, there will be no more "prophetic paintings" in this world......
(To be continued)
