    Shi Zhendong and Zhu Haowen finally finished their workload before two o'clock, and now everyone is concentrated in the lobby on the second floor.

    After hearing about the changes in Zhang Tianwei's corpse, everyone said nothing under the astonished expressions—except for panic about the unknown, there was also powerlessness to face these many changes.

    Miao Zipei looked up at the clock on the wall, and felt a little puzzled: "The color has changed again."

    Everyone looked up one after another when they heard the words, but they didn't notice any obvious difference.

    Only Ye Ningchen said: "It seems... the blue component is more, not so much cyan, it is more inclined to indigo."

    "We laymen don't really understand the specific color classification," Shi Zhendong looked at his little girlfriend who also studied art. "What is indigo?"

    Although Xin Beibei's expertise is average, he still knows the basics: "Indigo is a combination of blue and purple, but I don't think current watches are indigo."

    Miao Zipei’s eyes are like a highly accurate instrument for distinguishing colors. He squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while: “The color is undergoing a very slight change, slowly transitioning from cyan to indigo, and the blue It’s fixed, and the green that matches it is gradually turning into purple. I believe that after ten minutes, everyone will see the very standard indigo color."

    Shi Zhendong became a little uncomfortable: "What does the color change of this clock show? Although I didn't remember the specific color changes you mentioned, these colors are very mixed. Cyan and indigo are not in our five colors. In."

    "Student Miao is still asked to elaborate on each change, let's try to analyze one by one." Qin Ci said.

    Miao Zipei was about to speak carefully for everyone, but was interrupted by an exclamation.

    The voice came from Ye Ningchen. She stood up from the chair in horror, and kept shaking her skirt: "Gosh, my skirt is stained with other colors!"

    The first reaction of everyone was to stay away from this girl immediately, after all, polluting colors is the biggest taboo in this world.

    After Ye Ningchen calmed down, he felt more and more like a plague god. At this moment, he took the initiative to stand far away, holding the skirt dyed with blue juice, and weeping low.

    Ye Ningchen's long dress is embroidered with lavender flowers, and at the moment it is in an inconspicuous position on the skirt, stained with a touch of blue-this fresh and soft color looks very dazzling at this moment .

    "Who is from the blue group?" After Ke Xun said this, he suddenly realized that he was from the blue group.

    Guo Lixia and Xin Beibei in the same group also stood up without knowing why: "This...every time we walk out of the room, we will wash our hands well."

    Ye Ningchen's entire face turned pale in shock: "What should I do, am I polluting the color? When is this? I have never been in other rooms!"

    "As long as you don't enter the workroom with colors, it's not pollution!" Ke Xun thought of this, and quickly pulled Ye Ningchen toward the bathroom: "Try it, maybe it can be washed off!"

    Ye Ningchen, like Feng Lunyin, hurriedly went to the bathroom and turned on the faucet, then rubbed it back and forth with soap.

    The people in the hall looked very serious. Zhu Haowen said: “It is currently unclear when she was dyed blue. If it was in the morning, then the room is now contaminated.”

    "Don't worry, this analysis should be able to draw a conclusion," Ke Xun carefully recalled everyone's schedule today, "Xiaoye has never entered the blue room, so the only explanation is that the people in the blue group accidentally changed the color I brought it out and accidentally dyed it on Xiaoye's skirt."

    Guo Lixia and Xin Beibei both frowned and looked innocent.

    Ke Xun continued to analyze: "Everyone has completed the workload before lunch except for the green room, so after noon, no one else has entered the work room. That is to say, if the blue color is dyed after noon, Then it’s probably fine after washing it off."

    Everyone nodded silently, and Shi Zhendong followed the analysis and said: "The dangerous time is in the morning. From morning to fruit time, only four people are working. At that time, the only person who had access to blue juice was Guo...Xiao Guo."

    Guo Lixia was anxious all at once: "Why did I become me?! I have been immersed in work all morning, washing my hands well before coming out, and being careful, I am afraid that I will take the color out! Yesterday He Yu's Who is not afraid of things!"

    Shi Zhendong hurriedly said: "Xiao Guo, don't worry, isn't this a positive analysis, I didn't say it was you."

    Ke Xun comforted Guo Lixia with a few words. Guo Lixia finally calmed down his anger, but still couldn't help whispering: "It's unlucky, it's hard to work..."

    Shi Zhendong continued: "At ten o'clock in the morning, everyone gathered in the lobby. This was an important time and the first opportunity for the leaflets to be stained with blue paint. Then everyone went back to the room to work together. It’s lunch time when I go out. That should be the second and last time."

    At this time, Ye Ningchen also walked out of the bathroom, his face still pale as paper: "After washing it several times, it seems to be washed off, I don't know if it's useful."

    Everyone didn't know how to comfort her, all the words were pale now.

    "Xiao Ye, who did you have close contact with in the morning?" Ke Xun asked, after all, it should be more intimate to be able to touch the skirt of the other party.

    Ye Ningchen carefully recalled for a long time: "I don't remember who I have been in close contact with. During the morning break, I mostly spent time with Mi Wei..."

    The color of Mi Wei is yellow, which was ruled out first.

    "I don't think it's morning," Mu Yiran was speaking. This sentence caught everyone's attention. "When we left the first floor at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the clocks were still blue. When we reunited here at two o'clock, Miao Zipei I found that the color of the clock has changed, from cyan to indigo. Indigo is a combination of blue and purple. This should not be a coincidence."

    Everyone carefully filtered these words of Mu Yiran, Miao Zipei looked up at the clock that had become pure indigo: "Indigo is a combination of blue and purple. Ye Ningchen's skirt itself is purple, and it is stained with blue. , The combination of these two colors is exactly the indigo color! Is this the enlightenment that the clock has given us?!"

    Everyone was dumbfounded.

    Mu Yiran nodded slightly: "Miao Zipei first discovered the change in clocks from white to orange. Orange is the combination of red and yellow. It is associated with yesterday's pollution color incident-He Yu didn't wash away the red paint on his hands. , I entered the yellow room. Is this a combination of red and yellow?"

    Everyone nodded thoughtfully, completely trusting this hypothesis: "It turns out that the change of the clock is the color of the polluted! Every time a color pollution event occurs, the pattern of the clock will change its color!"

    Mi Wei still grasped the incompatibility: "But what does cyan represent? Cyan after orange! Cyan is a combination of blue and green, and the time when the clock turns cyan is this morning! At that time everyone Are there any chances to pollute the colors without working?"

    Everyone fell silent again, and Ke Xun felt that his head was big: "Although it is impossible to explain the source of cyan at present, the previous analysis should be reasonable. We are all aware of the formation of orange and indigo."

    Ye Ningchen was still at a loss: "But, what should I do now..."

    "Anyway, everyone has completed the amount of labor. Don't enter any labor room for the time being." Qin Ci has no better way.

    Ye Ningchen nodded in a panic, "But, when we go to bed at night? Our bedroom doors are also colored!"

    Ke Xun thought of something, and raised his head to meet Mu Yiran's gaze. The two people frowned at the same time, as if no one had completely figured it out.

    Guo Lixia also felt that this little girl was very pitiful: "Hey, or you can stay in the lobby on the second floor for one night."

    "Is that a violation of the rules..." Ye Ningchen became apathetic, as if he had been declared a terminally ill patient.

    Everyone dare not say, after all, the NPC is asking everyone to go to sleep in their own colored room.

    As soon as I thought of the NPC, the familiar music sounded, and the NPC’s voice was so sweet that people wanted to choke her to death: "Congratulations, everyone for completing today's work task~ Afternoon tea is ready in the dining car, please open the lobby door to pick it up. ~After afternoon tea, everyone can walk around and enjoy the scenery of the castle!" The NPC emphasized the tone as usual, "Remember not to pollute the colors! Remember!"

    These words hit Ye Ningchen's heart hard. The girl was so scared that she had no tears. At this moment, she looked at Mu Yiran in panic: "Team leader, what should I do?"

    Ke Xun didn't expect that Mu Yiran would be promoted by Purple as the team leader, and he matched him...

    Mu Yiran looked at Ye Ningchen's eyes with a rare gentleness: "The color may be washed away and there may be a glimmer of life. Don't sleep in the hall at night. That itself is a violation of the rules."

    Xin Beibei seems to have suddenly thought of something: "Think about the red bedroom. Because of He Yu, the entire room has lost its color! If she really pollutes the color, will it make the purple bedroom also..."

    Mu Yiran's eyes have an unshakable certainty: "Painting also has a bottom line, especially in terms of death conditions, which are almost perfect and harsh-absolutely not because of a certain person."

    Wei Dong also said: "Xiaoye, you can rest assured to go back to our house, we are not afraid! If there is any danger, maybe we can help you!"

    Ye Ningchen was very moved and nodded hurriedly.

    At this time, Guo Lixia had already pushed the dining trolley in. There were exquisite western-style pastries in the shape of a round tower, and a round-necked glassware with bright red pomegranate juice.

    Everyone was a little bit resistant and all chose ordinary tea.

    "We have to keep looking for signatures, and we can't waste precious time during the day." Qin Ci ate the delicious cookies, expressionless.

    "This castle is made up of many groups of buildings. At present, we only know about the square building, the round building on the corridor, and only the fourth floor. We must find a way to figure out the entire castle." The speaker is Shi Zhendong.

    Xin Beibei quickly said: "There is also the outside of the castle. We only looked at the pool in the morning. We haven't had time to see the maze!"
