Paintings of Terror

Once again, the familiar image of the white fish appeared on the screen, its appearance almost identical to the dried fish that the fat uncle had given them.

“According to the fat uncle, only the Cold Night Inn has these white fish. Could it be that the ‘us’ from before left behind these negatives specifically to remind us to go to the Cold Night Inn to find the signature?” Wei Dong said. ymqHho

The current image on the screen displayed four white fish in water. Because their sides were facing upwards, everyone still thought they were four dead fish.

The next image was a close-up of a single white fish, but there was nothing particularly remarkable about it.

The following few pictures were also varying numbers of white fish with similar shapes. However, one picture was different from the rest. The fish in it was shaped like a willow leaf and was just poking out there, looking eerie and unnatural.

“Are these things really fish?” Cao Youning studied them for a while but couldn’t figure out what they were. sCaHJP

“Looking at the state they are in, they really don’t feel like fish. Why are they so stiff? They lack vitality and don’t look like they are swimming. Even dead fish shouldn’t be in this state,” Luo Bu couldn’t make sense of it either. “Unless these fish are frozen stiff.”

“Since these fish grow in the Cold Night Inn, they shouldn’t fear the cold,” Qin Ci analyzed. “Actually, if you look closely, they should be fish. There’s something resembling fish fins on both sides. It would be better if the image were clearer.”

“If the Cold Night Inn is indeed very cold, it’s quite impressive to capture these photos to this extent.” Mai Peng added.

“Dong Zi, you should sketch these photos down, they should be very important.” Ke Xun said. s6Ym9I

“Ke Er is right,” Wei Dong quickly took out a pen from his bag, ready to draw them in his art collection book. “It happens that the first few pages are blank, so I’ll just draw it there.”

Wei Dong began drawing the image in front of him. He took a quick look at the structure and layout and started drawing rapidly. Although they were just simple lines, they captured the basic outline of the photo.

As Wei Dong was finishing up, he stopped his pen. “I believe these slender fish should be the side views of the white fish we saw earlier. Judging from their shape and structure, I think I’m right. To be exact, they were photographed from the top of the fish’s back facing downward.”

After Wei Dong’s explanation, everyone all found them quite similar. H2SsfJ

“But why do I feel like these fish aren’t in the water, but rather like they’re fixed in the cracks of a cave?” Mai Peng looked at them for a while and still couldn’t understand. “Say, when do you guys think these photos were taken?”
