Paintings of Terror

Chapter 236: One and a Half Hours



If it was indeed possible to use the cameras to see events from the past and the future, it undoubtedly would provide them with more clues to find the signature.

“Time is limited. It has been two hours since ‘dawn.’ It’s best for us to split up. One group can use the cameras to search for clues, while the other group continues to look for the signature,” Ke Xun suggested, glancing at the burning incense in the corner. Two hours had already passed since the lanterns were lit. 5edTfO

Mai Peng held his camera, “I would want to have Mr. Mu guide me while looking for locations to take photos.”

Cao Youning added, “Finding a signature in this Inn is like finding a needle in a haystack. I don’t have any other special skills, so maybe I should also take photos.”

Mu Yiran thought for a moment and said, “That works. Those of you who are skilled in photography can distribute the film among yourselves. Film is a precious resource now, and we should use it wisely.”

All the new members nodded and took out their cameras. KbvXeE

Ke Xun glanced at Mu Yiran: “How about this, everyone should gather in this room in no more than two hours. We’ll buy some food on the way, so we can have lunch before the lights go off.”

Mu Yiran nodded in agreement, “Finding the signature might be challenging without narrowing down the scope. Let’s try to gather some information first.”

“Sounds good!”

Du Lingyu looked at Ke Xun, hesitating to speak. tYZBlg

Ke Xun said, “Xiao Du, you can talk to Yiran later about the hallucinations you experienced.”

“Okay, sure,” Du Lingyu nodded.

Ke Xun continued, “Brother Qin, you can stay behind and continue researching that medical book. There might be something useful to us in there.”

Qin Ci had no objections to the suggestion. He walked over to the overhead projector and took off the magnifying glass, preparing to use it to read the book later. FYt9Ve

Ke Xun glanced at the others and said, “Without further ado, let’s go look for the signature now.”

So, Ke Xun, Wei Dong, Zhu Haowen, Fang Fei, Luo Bu, and Koharu left the room together.

Although they said they were looking for the signature, there wasn’t a clear route.

“I always feel like the signature is hidden in the past and future, not really related to the present,” Wei Dong scratched his head. “Even if we want to look for it, we don’t know where to start.” WLDPFf

Zhu Haowen was expressionless. “Since we can’t determine the time, let’s first determine the location and the people involved.”

“As for the location, aside from our room, there are a few more important places: the square where Xiayu was killed on the second floor, the window by the suspended coffin on the top floor, and the entrance and exit of this Lantern Inn.”

“As for the people, we can only speculate based on our specific roles: people who do business with us, people who use or trade camera-related goods, and the authorities of this world, the esteemed Master Shamans.”

Everyone couldn’t help but glance at Fang Fei when Master Shaman was mentioned. S8YdVc

“I was also thinking about this,” Fang Fei paused in her steps and stood by the staircase railing. Under the candlelight, her high ponytail and upright figure gave off an air of detachment from the world. “Initially, I wanted to try wearing that mask.”

“Absolutely not!” Wei Dong blurted out. “Who knows what the mask does? What if you put it on and can’t take it off…?”
