Paintings of Terror

Du Lingyu could not pull herself out of this nightmare-like reality for a long time. Xi Shengnan killed Xiayu? Xiayu was already dead when everyone came to this world? Even putting aside all the emotional factors, this matter could not hold true, because Xi Shengnan had no time to commit the crime.

Du Lingyu rubbed her temples. Whenever she was highly stressed, she was prone to migraines. This time, not only migraines, but also tinnitus in the ears. mW3DnP

Du Lingyu finally managed to calm herself down a little, only to realize that Cao Youning had gotten up and stood beside the bed at some point. He was as bewildered as her, not so much sadness and fear, but more of a feeling of insignificance and confusion.

Mu Yiran seemed to be talking to the Inn Officer. Du Lingyu listened to each word, but realized that her comprehension ability was really poor. Mu Yiran seemed to be talking in a roundabout way on purpose, as if he were intentionally avoiding something but also trying every means to ensure the other party understood his intentions.

Right, it was ‘time’. Mu Yiran couldn’t talk about time directly with the people in the Lantern Inn, so he mostly used words like “lights-on, lights-off” to express it.

Fortunately, the Inn Officer’s comprehension ability was much better than Du Lingyu’s. At this time, he nodded and said: “I understand that although Xi Shengnan is suspected of murder, she is also a victim. Besides, we cannot bring back the dead… I will send someone to bring the magnifying glass in a bit. We must find a way to find out the source of this poison from the medical book.” lZn1ky

Magnifying glass? Mu Yiran actually got a magnifying glass, and it was from the Inn officer. Du Lingyu felt incredible, and gradually understood why these veterans were able to get through so many paintings together. In addition to the team’s cooperation and tacit understanding, having an excellent leader was also a necessary element.

The Inn Officer was about to leave at last. He turned his head and said to everyone: “I will send someone in a bit to put the body into a coffin. It will be frozen first and then put into the frozen ground so that she can rest in peace.”

It seems that this was the ultimate way this world preserved the deceased.

Lu Heng wiped his eyes and said, “Can we send her off then?” 5cPqNK

Inn Officer: “Yes.”

The door opened and closed. There were only twelve members left in the room, and Xi Shengnan who was slowly becoming stiff on the bed.

“Why? I really don’t understand.” It was Luo Bu who spoke. He hugged Koharu tightly at this moment: “When we arrived, that Xiayu was already dead, why are Sister Xi’s knives in her body? And those two knives were brought in from the outside world! The timing is not right at all!”

“Hence, the time in this world is completely disordered, and it is precisely because of this disorder that the residents here ignore time.” Shao Ling said. zYNWG

“If they really ignore time, why do they have such an important ceremony of lighting on and off the lanterns?” Zhu Haowen said, “I think they are more afraid of time, or even in awe, so everything that is time-related is listed as taboo words.”

Mu Yi suddenly walked to the side of the wooden cabinet and looked at the pile of incense ashes in the corner. Half of the incense was slowly burning in the ashes: “The second incense has only burned a small half.”

“What was the length of the second incense?” Qin Ci asked.
