Chapter 180 "Green Night" (4K [-]-in-[-])

"...So who is he leading?"

In this short conversation, the information was completely wrong, and the two were terrified, and couldn't help but want to open their eyes to look at each other.

"Death in the mystical realm requires no logic."

Fanning couldn't help thinking of this ancient and common motto in the field of occultism.

But he still restrained that impulse, and reminded again in a low voice: "Don't open your eyes."

"Caroun, what's the matter? Don't you remind us with a little force every 10 seconds?" Joan asked in confusion when she heard the inexplicable conversation between the two.

"It's every 10 steps, not every 10 seconds." Fanning corrected her slip of the tongue, and then realized that she was also misled, and shook her head again and again, "What 10 steps and 10 seconds... I obviously mean every other ten-fold integer Steps, such as 10 steps, 70 steps, 60 steps, pinch yours."

"...Obviously 10 seconds." Joan's tone was a little dazed.

One's own steps are very careful, and only 10-6 steps can be taken in 7 seconds.

Why do the three have different feelings?
"Sheeran, when did you first see me?" Fanning asked suddenly.

"Ah?..." The girl on the right was a little astonished, but immediately understood his intentions, "In the early autumn of 909 in the new calendar, it should be the end of October. On a Friday evening, I got up from the sofa in Dad's office to open the door. When you stood at the door with a book in your arms, you said you were here to return the score."

Although everyone closed their eyes, Fanning still nodded habitually: "Joan, what about you?"

Joan cleared her throat and subconsciously replied: "The first time was at Uncle Anton's funeral last year. I shook hands with you..."

"you sure?"

"Ah, no, no, that's when I officially met you. I just met you in 909, a little later than Xilan. In late autumn, I was playing at her house, and you were on the other side the whole time, clasping Uchi with both hands at a very slow speed. A piano etude by Luo, we haven't talked to us much, and we are too embarrassed to take the initiative to chat with you... The deep impression is because Uncle Anton told us quietly at that time that there were some changes in your family...

Sheeran also added with a smile at this time: "In general, for more than a year, although he and I got along from time to time, we rarely spoke to each other until one time..."

Talking about some past encounters, Fan Ning felt a lot more relaxed, and he said "um", "Why don't you ask me?"

After asking this sentence, he felt a pulling force from his hands, so he squatted down with the two girls.

Although it was pitch black, through other spiritual senses, he knew that they had heard the "sharp, dense noise" again.

From the description, this sound is quite similar to the weird sharp sound mixed with human voices that I heard in the mutated paint. This may also be a kind of pollution caused by the "spring in the painting" feature.

This time the interval between attacks was longer, which was far lower than what they heard when they searched the room before, which might prove their speculation about "eliminating visual disturbances".

After a short rest, the panting sounds of the two girls gradually disappeared, and they slowly stood up.

"I think it may not be the kind of situation you think..." Sheeran bit her lip, and then said before, "It may be because our consciousness is a little lax, and the perception is different. In short, we still follow the beginning. Said close your eyes."

Next, several people continued to walk in this passage that seemed to be "full of visual organs" on both sides, but they did not encounter the situation of bumping into a wall and turning around again. Open your eyes to see what’s going on——From the perspective of spatial layout, turn left immediately after entering the stone gate, which means turning back to the underground building, and now the steps of the few people may have already reversed through the place they passed before .

But the current situation has nothing to do with the previous occasion, and several people didn't feel that there was an uphill or downhill.

After about a few minutes of calm, Sheeran suddenly exclaimed and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Fanning's heart tightened.

"I seem to have poked a pile of meat with my crowbar." Sheeran's tone was mixed with fear and disgust.

"You mean the wall?"

"Also, there are my feet... Don't you feel that you are stepping on something slippery and thick and sticky?" She pulled Fan Ning back two steps, "Hey, Why is there even a lump of meat at the back? Obviously it was stepped on from there just now..."

Fanning gently rubbed the soles of his feet on the ground twice, feeling the touch of the rubber against the masonry, and was about to ask further, when Joan said tremblingly: "Caroun...I feel like there are snakes on the back of my neck. Snake, there seems to be a wriggling mountain of snakes behind me...I'm dying, I want to see what the hell this is."

"Listen to me." Fanning interrupted the two people's random thoughts, "Have you noticed that we have been scaring ourselves all the time?"

"After entering this stone gate, it seems that we have encountered many abnormal situations or strange phenomena, and due to the long-term closed eyes similar to 'sleeping', we are indeed in a trance, and we can't tell whether they are real or not... But in fact, So far, we have not encountered any real threat to life, but after being stimulated by the outside world several times, we all want to open our eyes reflexively to see what happened..."

"I suspect that the unknown existence in this channel is tempting us to open our eyes in various forms!"

Fan Ning closed his eyes and looked straight ahead: "If you don't feel safe, you can think of it this way. If the fear you feel really exists, in the current state of the three of us, can we deal with it by opening our eyes?"

Sheeran gave a "hmm": "... makes sense... so don't pay attention to these things, let alone open your eyes. If we see this passage, we might be left here forever."

"...Okay, then can I stick closer to you?" Joan shrank her shoulders and neck, her voice was still trembling, and she held onto Fanning tightly with her small hands.

There was still a burning pain in his arm, Fan Ning continued: "Don't start daydreaming in your mind as soon as you are stimulated, no matter what situation you encounter, we will continue to move forward...Compared with these illusory things, I am more worried about The group of paint monsters in the rear is a real threat, I hope the progress of its evil spread will be slower, let's not waste time, let's go quickly."

The second after he finished speaking, Fan Ning suddenly felt his feet step into a cold puddle.

After a few steps, the water had spread to his thighs.

He opened his mouth, and was about to ask a little uneasy, but realized that the other two girls were silent.

Gathering his mind, he closed his eyes and continued to move forward. The shoes became heavy, the pants were tightly attached to the skin, and the resistance of his legs made waves alternately.

The cold water soaked the waist, then the chest, neck, nose and mouth...

Fanning found that his breathing was not affected.

After more than ten seconds, the whole person broke out from the vertical surface formed by the water without any transition, his wet hair was all stuck to his forehead, his clothes and shoes were heavily swaying like lead-plated, and his heels were on the ground Make the sound of squeezing out water.

It's quite true... Fanning was unmoved and accelerated his progress further.

In the following time, everyone continued to experience all kinds of indistinguishable terrifying feelings. Joan felt that something was grabbing her heel from time to time, and Sheeran found that Fanning's hand in her hand had turned into a sticky tongue. Ning once felt that the road suddenly narrowed. The two girls seemed to have walked into the meat grinder. The only response to him was screams and the sound of bones and flesh being broken. Blood and various unknown tissues were sprayed on his face. He almost died. opened his eyes.

Fan Ning repeatedly emphasized to himself: All illusions can be created, but the unknown thing is not high enough to interfere with the feeling that he is still alive, unless he opens his eyes.

His heart was pounding, he didn't think about it, he stubbornly grabbed what he could grasp and continued to move forward, and insisted on sending out a light pinch signal. After an unknown period of time, when he was almost numb, he gradually returned Feeling the soft, warm little hands I'm holding, and feeling the response.

The three of them felt the breeze in the next moment, and suddenly saw the faint green light after the mutation of the underground building before.

wait... see?

The three stopped.

Fan Ning subconsciously turned around to "check", and found himself on a huge platform that was as dark as ink.

He lowered his head and saw his and Xilan's hands. He followed his arm up and saw the skin with a slight green glow, and then saw the little girl with flying brown hair looking at him.

There was a lively light in her eyes, but there was also a strange green background against her face.

Then Fanning saw Joan again on the other side.

But he was sure his eyes were closed!
"Sheeran, have you opened your eyes?" Fanning asked.

"...I don't seem to have it, but I can see you, and why are you opening your eyes?"

Sheeran looked at herself with concern.

"Where is this? Did we come out?" Joan also turned around to check.

"No, no..." Fan Ning showed a vigilant look, "Don't open your eyes yet, um, I know you have seen the things next to you, and also saw that other people have opened... But keep your eyes closed, the surroundings It’s okay to check, don’t open it.”

Fanning's previous judgment was that this strange place, which has a mysterious connection with the "fountain in the painting", transmits pollution through the eyes.The three of them walked in the passage and experienced so many unreasonable and terrifying feelings. It was precisely because after one's eyes were closed to block the interference, those things could only distort other senses except vision, and then induce one's heart to collapse and open. eye view.

...Could it be that the things in the passage behind the stone gate can already interfere with the vision of the three of them?But from the moment I pushed the door with both hands, I never opened it and glanced at it.

Distortion, always need an original thing to talk about distortion, right?Where does that unknown existence come from?
He tried to hold the two of them, and walked forward again, but he didn't seem to feel any progress. Everyone was still on this huge dark platform, and the faint green light was still everywhere.

green light?

Several people tried to raise their heads.

The night sky is filled with thick water vapor, and the green light from unknown sources permeates the granular fog, presenting a sense of contradiction that is dark and dirty and occasionally crystal clear. A few too large unknown stars penetrate Layers of water vapor emitted a scattered and pale light, making the entire sky look extremely low, as if it was just above the heads of the three of them.

"Night?...Green light?..." Sheeran frowned and thought.

"Green night?" Joan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "The "Green Night" painted by the painter Courmier?"

"It seems to be, although I haven't actually seen it, but the current scene is very similar to the title..." Sheeran showed a look of horror on his face, "But why is it on top of our heads? Could it be that we struggled all the way, and the final result was to run to In a painting?"

Fanning's brain was running fast: "It's really weird and confusing. How could "Green Night" appear in the underground building under the Turner Art Museum? Wait...I seem to think of something related..."

He frowned tightly, trying to chase all kinds of information he had received recently, hoping that his subconscious mind could remind him of the fragments associated with it.

Benjamin felt that the colors of the works on the loser's salon were rubbish, so he went crazy and burned them, but "Green Night" was not included...

The latter has to do with finding or opening the "Gate of the Seven Lights", but it's only one of the seven paintings required, not all...

According to Benjamin's tone, this highly accomplished work ran away by itself, the reason being "appreciated a lot, and remembered deeply", literally, too many people have seen it, leaving a deep impression?Just... run away? …

So what does the scene that a few people "see" mean?
"Wait...see...see?..." Fanning caught a new angle.

Under what circumstances can a person "see" something with their eyes closed?
He suddenly "lighted up".

Joan apparently also recalled the conversation with Benjamin on the side of the bridge, "Callon, that lunatic investigator at that time said that "Green Night" ran away. Could it be that this painting was polluted by something and then revived or materialized? Already?..."

She cried with a sad face: "What the hell did you say that Cumier painted this, this place has nothing but a bare platform and a weird green sky above... We stumbled into this painting by mistake now and can't get out Here it comes... It's really over now..."

"No, that's not the case. I understand. Perhaps the experience along the way can be explained..." Fanning recovered from his thoughts and smiled easily.

"It's not that we have entered "Green Night", but "Green Night" has entered the inside!"

"Yi Chung!?" Sheeran exclaimed, and then asked a long series of questions: "How is it possible?...You mean, we are no longer in the waking world? We just closed our eyes for too long and fell into a dream Is it?...Our body is still in that weird passage, and people have entered Yichun?...Where is this place? Wasteland? Surrounding mountains? Basin? It doesn't look like it, it can't be Huita, right?"

"Your description is not entirely accurate." Fan Ning said, "I confirm that this is a shift... As for the way we entered this time, it is not exactly the same as the previous sleep and dream, but there are similarities..."

"Sleeping into dreams means that the body stays in the appearance of the world, and the soul temporarily enters the astral world, that is, the mixed transition zone of appearance and will, and then relies on the dream control method to stay awake. After finding the entrance of the influx, the spirit separates and enters... And this time, When we arrived at Yichun, we naturally did not rely on sleep to pass through ordinary dreams..."

"Then what are the similarities you said?" Sheeran asked.

Fan Ning continued: "I guessed the reason based on the results. If the judgment is correct, the entire underground building behind the secret door itself is a mixture of world appearance and will..."

"It acts as a sort of 'astral' transition in itself."
