Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 2080: The place where Lin Sanjiu once saw the oil painting
Many times when he was trapped in a mystery, Lin Sanjiu felt like he was trying to figure out the elephant in the dark.
Every time, she can only get one fragment of information, and each fragment seems to have nothing to do with the other fragments. Not to mention asking her to guess what shape the pieces will eventually form. Sometimes she doesn't even know that she needs to put the pieces together.
But when she finally finds the answer, it often seems too obvious - it's an elephant.
The portrait copy is a typical experience of touching an elephant.
"The only person who talked about 'downstairs' and 'driveway' in detail, indicating that he was in the mansion on the top of the mountain, was Peter." While Lin Sanjiu was writing in a hurry, Pan Cui and Pina also exchanged words with each other from time to time. The portrait should contain a sentence or two to avoid suspicion. "So what do other people say?"
If you sort out everyone's words and inner monologues, you will find that Mingna "hates this place" and feels "this place is cold"; while Nika said that their gathering place is quite remote and there are no cars along the way. There was no one in sight either.
Kate said this was her "first time seeing" something, but she didn't elaborate.
"Interestingly, we all know that Kate has been wanting to go to the bathroom since she drove to the party venue. She also said that she misses the luxurious bathroom in the mountaintop mansion." Lin Sanjiu quickly wrote, "This It shows that the reason why Kate has been holding back from going to the bathroom may be because the conditions where they met are very poor, or there is no bathroom at all.”
Pina nodded slowly, with a look of surprise on her face.
"The place they are now in is a remote, cold place with harsh conditions. In this place, Peter successfully arranged a hot dinner, which would make Nika and Kate find it very difficult. The light in this place It wasn't good, so the servant who came here from the mansion on the top of the mountain couldn't see the way clearly and spilled red wine on Kate's sleeve.
"Both Nika and Kate know not to talk about this place - probably Peter's order."
Pina couldn't wait to know the answer, so she wrote in the corner of her notebook: "Where?"
But if Lin Sanjiu didn't finish writing what she had finally figured out, she would feel uncomfortable all over: "This place is hidden enough, even if I kill the 'character', it would be no problem...I didn't think so at the beginning. I didn't know where this place was until I looked up once."
After reading it, Pina and Pan Cui raised their heads in unison.
"Cave?" Pan Cui asked silently.
Lin Sanjiu was noncommittal and wrote on the paper: "Do you remember Peter's identity?"
They turned their heads.
Under Peter's oil painting, on the sign, it says "Peter, 47 years old, executive director of a local mining group, owner of the mountaintop mansion."
Pan Cui took a breath silently.
"The portrait and we are probably both in the cave under the mine now. Considering that they can come and go freely, I'm afraid it's an abandoned one, right?"
After all, this is part of the dungeon. Even if they were tricked by the portrait, they should still have enough clues and hints; besides, this can also explain what Kate "saw" for the first time. Now - the mine is not something that anyone can see casually.
“Of course, this is just my guess.” Lin Sanjiu wrote hastily, “But I think it’s better to be careful. Let’s not talk too much. We just vaguely mention the environment we are in. It should be OK. Don't let them get suspicious just yet. Stay until the party is over and then we can go out."
Her hands were a little sore when she wrote because she wrote so fast that her pen was stuck in many places - luckily it didn't affect the other two's understanding. Coincidentally, when I finished writing, the chatter among the portraits around me gradually became quieter, until I fell into a strange silence.
A few seconds passed, and not a single portrait made a sound.
If it weren’t for Ming Na’s sobs, which still echoed in the cave, it would have been as if all the portraits had disappeared.
Unconsciously, the three of them stood up from the ground, tensing up silently.
What happened?
There is no doubt that the portraits did not use "anti-monitoring methods", but why did they stop talking at the same time?
It was as if... as if they were exchanging glances with each other, communicating one thing through silent expressions, gestures and signals; this thing, without a doubt, could not be mentioned in front of new people.
Pan Cui suddenly picked up a notebook and pen and hurriedly wrote down a sentence - "They have a communication channel that can bypass new people, just like we can communicate with pen and paper."
Her tone was very certain, as if she had thought about this issue for a long time; as soon as she finished writing this sentence, Pan Cui made sure that both of them had seen it clearly, and then did something strange: She turned the notebook to the "clues" section and wrote the corresponding person's name next to each clue - for the clues written by Lin Sanjiu, add "Lin Sanjiu", for the clues written by Pina, add "Lin Sanjiu" "Pina".
Why?
Worries and doubts were like big rocks falling gradually towards the depths, pulling down Lin Sanjiu's internal organs; before she could figure out Pan Cui's intention, the silence was suddenly interrupted by Raven's voice. Broken.
"All of them...?" For the first time, hesitation appeared in his inner monologue: "They may be three living people after all... What if some of them are not characters, wouldn't it be..."
A sharp alarm bell rang in Lin Sanjiu's mind; several people looked at each other and turned pale.
From the portrait of Peter, a low sound of sipping a drink came from.
"Pina, Pan Cui, and Lin Sanjiu," Peter smiled calmly and said, "You three newcomers must have been surprised when you first saw the truth unfolding in front of you, right?"
Pina reluctantly let out a "hmm" from her nose.
"Mingna, you guys can go out first, I'll give an explanation to the newcomers." Peter slowly finished his instructions, and then said: "Raven, Scott, you stay."
The three of them exchanged glances and realized that if they didn't say anything, it might be too late - Lin Sanjiu gritted his teeth and spoke first: "Peter, I have no doubts about the truth of the world. If you can If so, should I leave tonight? I'll listen to your explanation next time. You also know that the roads nearby are very difficult to walk. I have never been to a place like this, and I am really scared..."
Raven's portrait said "Huh" dubiously, and then an inner monologue sounded: "She knows? If she knows... shouldn't it be a character?"
Lin Sanjiu finally managed to hold back the breath she almost exhaled; she and the other two looked at each other, feeling a little relieved. Obviously, it is helpful to suggest that you "see" your surroundings and know that it is not a mountaintop mansion——
"Oh, don't worry."
Peter laughed, and the next words almost stunned the three of them.
"I know, your first party is in the mine, and you must be a little bit nervous. However, the explanation is a very important link and cannot be delayed. After listening to it, you will know why I chose this place to party. ."
For what seemed like a long time, Lin Sanjiu couldn't understand what was going on. Some of the portraits around him took a breath, and some murmured expressions of shock. They seemed to be just like her. I don’t understand why Peter said the word “mine” himself.
The way to test them is to see if they know they are in a mine? Why did Peter take the initiative to tell the truth?
In this way, if there is indeed an uninformed "character" among the newcomers, and after listening to his words, he knows that something is wrong, how can it serve as a test——
Lin Sanjiu raised one of his hands like lightning and pressed his mouth.
Yes, since Peter clearly stated the location, it means that he has no intention of continuing the "test" at all.
"No matter what, I have to get an ability tonight." Scott's inner monologue rang out immediately: "If Kajiada doesn't have it, then among these three women... as long as one of them is a character... That's enough."
Even if they are reluctant to admit it, they now understand what Peter and Scott mean. Pan Cui wiped her face; Pina lowered her head and wrote a sentence, her handwriting trembling slightly.
"Are they planning to kill us by mistake rather than let us go? No matter how we prove that we are not characters, they are going to kill us... just because they want to extract abilities from us?"
How could this happen?
If the portraits have always adhered to the principle of preferring to kill by mistake rather than let go, then wouldn't this road be incomprehensible and no one who enters can get out?
But this road is obviously only fifty points long. There is not even any difficulty in the first half of the road. The second half of the road should not be so desperate——
"I thought of it!" Teacher Yi suddenly shouted, almost frightening Lin Sanjiu.
At the same time, Pan Cui happened to call out to Kate—her role in the portrait world was close to Kate; so she seemed to be using all her strength to plead, wanting Kate to stay and protect herself and her party. people.
"What?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
"I know why you think these oil paintings look familiar," Teacher Yi said anxiously, "I have been searching in my memory to find out where you have seen these oil paintings. But the direction of my search was simply wrong. , you have indeed never seen these portraits...because what you see are 'pictures of portraits'."
"What?" Lin Sanjiu could only ask again.
Teacher Yi did not answer her, but brought up a scene from her memory - when Lin Sanjiu passed by the coffee room in the corridor again, she glanced inside; that ordinary woman was sitting in a On the sofa, the computer is closed and there is a book in hand.
One.
The title of the book happened to be blocked by her finger, but the picture on the cover was clearly enlarged and brought to the eyes by Teacher Yi at this moment-a figure that was carefully framed. Oil portraits dotted a thickly carpeted corridor; the woman in one portrait looked a bit like Minna, and the person in the next portrait looked exactly like Peter.
When he saw the cover clearly, Lin Sanjiu jumped up from where he was.
Both Pina and Pan Cui were busy negotiating with the portrait, and no one noticed her movements for a while; Lin Sanjiu hurriedly grabbed a pen and paper and wrote down a sentence quickly.
When she pretended to sob uneasily, Pina and Pan Cui both turned their heads towards her - Lin Sanjiu immediately showed the note pad in front of their eyes. ~IndoMTL.com~ It occurred to me that the ordinary woman on the way here was the one with the problem. I'm going out to find her now, can you delay it for me? ”
The two people's surprised and suspicious eyes turned from the paper to Lin Sanjiu's face, and then from Lin Sanjiu's face to the high slide exit embedded under the cave roof.
"Believe me," Lin Sanjiu mouthed silently.
She will not leave the two of them in the cave. What's more, even if a person leaves the cave, it may not mean leaving the portrait world. She has to solve the problems of the portrait world even for herself - unfortunately, this The explanations could not be spoken out loud; they had no time to debate with pen and paper.
All Lin Sanjiu can rely on is the friendship and experience between a few people in the past two or three days since they met.
The two looked at each other and thought for a few seconds. Pan Cui was the first to make up his mind.
She smiled palely at Lin Sanjiu, nodded, and made a "go ahead" gesture.
