    After several long and deep breaths, Ke Xun felt his body gradually recovered, and finally he was able to clen his fists more forcefully.

    Ke Xun implanted to help him sit up and had to find a way to close the window.

    Xin Beibei on the opposite bed was lying motionless, not knowing whether he fell asleep or was lying there watching Ke Xun.

    Just when Ke Xun finally stood up and prepared to walk to the window, suddenly his eyes seemed to be blind, and the unexpected darkness once again enveloped everything.

    Ke Xun stood still, not daring to act rashly when he couldn't distinguish the direction.

    The feeling this time was very clear, something came into the house, not just "passing" like the previous two times.

    The vast invisible darkness, only smell and hearing are alive.

    Perhaps Guo Lixia felt fear in his dream, and her snoring sound was reduced a lot, leaving only the long breath in his sleep.

    Another voice in the dark came from Xin Beibei, it was a very rapid gasp, a gasp that was about to suffocate in pain.

    The darkness has the taste of "color", just like the taste of the berries in the working room, and the taste of the bottle that Zhang Tianwei was soaked in.

    Ke Xun felt an extremely strong color odor passing through his nose, and then gradually faded. Ke Xun's eyes looked in the direction of the window, as if the other party was about to leave the window.

    Finally a touch of gray came into view, that was the color of the window frame, and then the entire square window frame was displayed in front of my eyes, and everything in the room was gradually visible.

    Guo Lixia's polka dot pattern is still sleeping soundly on the bed.

    Ke Xun's own water ripple pattern stands in the middle of the room.

    The diamond pattern of Xin Beibei is being dragged towards the window in an extremely distorted manner.

    That's right, Xin Beibei wriggled, like a snake being dragged, and like a moving floral cloth.

    Ke Xun clearly saw the thing dragging Xin Beibei. The thing came from Xin Beibei's feet. It was black and about the size of Xin Beibei.

    If there is no wrong judgment, this thing should be Xin Beibei's own shadow.

    Ke Xun stepped back slowly and returned to his bed, trying to stay away from Xin Beibei and her shadow.

    "Xin Beibei?" Ke Xun finally called the other party's name. The death happened in front of his eyes and it was impossible to ignore it.

    The diamond pattern belonging to Xin Beibei made a vague sound: "Guru..."

    It's like a low vomiting sound from suffocation.

    Ke Xun was in a cold sweat, seeing Xin Beibei's body slowly being dragged out of the bed, moving towards the window sill.

    Xin Beibei's shadow has gradually spread to the window sill, dragging her feet to the window sill.

    Ke Xun boldly approached Xin Beibei's head. Now her head is the farthest place from the shadow, and it should be a safer place.

    Xin Beibei let out a hoarse gasp, like being strangled by something.

    Ke Xun grabbed Xin Beibei's shoulders and tried to drag them back, but found that his strength was too far from the opponent.

    Ke Xun courageously touched Xin Beibei's neck with his hand tentatively, and found that the position of his neck was deeply sunken-the flesh on his neck seemed to be tightly restrained by something invisible.

    Ke Xun touched the concave shape and pulled his hand back.

    That shape clearly comes from an invisible big hand.

    Because of the disparity in power, Ke Xun could only watch Xin Beibei being dragged by his own shadow to leave the window. The narrow shape covered with diamond patterns wriggled painfully and gradually disappeared. The position of the window.

    Ke Xun chased the window and poked his head out. The black shadow has melted into the dark night. What is striking is the pattern belonging to Xin Beibei, which seems to be shaky under the drag of the black shadow, and is slowly dragged past. The window next door turned to the distance out of sight.

    Just like I saw last night.

    Ke Xun felt a little cold at this time, because his clothes had been drained by sweat.

    Ke Xun looked at the windows on the left and right, and found that the windows of all rooms were tightly closed, and he was about to close his own windows.

    I scanned the pool and the maze outside, but suddenly found that there was a black and white pattern in the maze, which was particularly distinct in the pure gray maze.

    That should be a person, a person in the maze late at night.

    Ke Xun wanted to see the pattern of the man's clothes clearly, but the distance was too far, and he could only vaguely see the outline of the man, standing straight by the maze, as if looking at Ke Xun.

    Ke Xun closed the window subconsciously, but did not leave the window, but continued to observe the opponent through the window pane.

    The man stood there for a few minutes, then walked into the maze and disappeared.

    The whole night finally passed, and it was dawn.

    The first news everyone got was: Ye Ningchen, like He Yu yesterday, Bai died miserably.

    Fortunately, the other two people in the purple room were not affected by it, and the entire room did not change. The door was still purple.

    Ye Ningchenyi's death might be within everyone's expectations, but the disappearance of Xin Beibei puzzled everyone.

    Many people unanimously turned their sympathetic eyes to Shi Zhendong.

    Shi Zhendong was silent for a long time, as if trying to suppress his choking voice: "The cyan pattern of the clock yesterday was originally related to Beibei."

    "But how was Xin Beibei selected? Did she also contaminate the color?" After Mi Wei said this, he subconsciously glanced at the clock in the second floor lobby, and saw that it was still the indigo color of last night. Relieved.

    "Perhaps a visit will also change the color of the clock." Mu Yiran glanced at everyone and made sure that the remaining nine people were present before continuing: "Yesterday Miao Zipei said that the clock changed from orange to cyan. Yesterday morning, but at that time, all the people hadn't worked, so everyone thought that this change had nothing to do with the pollution color."

    "At that time yesterday morning, everyone was on the second floor, just like now." Qin Ci said.

    Mu Yiran continued: "That's why I said that a visit will change the color of the clock."

    "You mean, someone called in yesterday morning?" Everyone was puzzled.

    "Think about it carefully. When everyone was observing He Yu's body in the red room yesterday, who was the one who was alone?" Mu Yiran raised a question.

    Many people hadn’t figured it out, so they heard Shi Zhendong suddenly say: “It’s Beibei, she was very scared at the time, so I told those girls not to enter the red room, but the other two girls still went in... Only Beibei is left."

    Zhu Haowen also recalled: "The time we stayed in the red room was not short, at least more than 20 minutes. What did Xin Beibei do in the hall alone? Why did she drop by?"

    Everyone was puzzled, Xin Beibei can be said to be the least courageous among this group, how dare he risk his life to go to rooms of other colors.

    “I’ve told you before that when a person is alone, especially when alone in the hall, you are likely to be deceived in some way.” Mu Yiran looked at everyone, “I experienced it myself yesterday afternoon. This incident, because of hallucinations, will make people want to open the door of other colors."

    Ke Xun experienced a whole night of tossing, and was a little slouched early the next morning. At this moment, he heard this and seemed to remember something: "No wonder I always feel that Xin Beibei's hostility towards Hao Wener is somewhat unfounded. Come to think of it, the temptation the other party gave her may be related to Hao Wener."

    "You mean, because she was inspired by me, when everyone was gathered in the red room yesterday morning, she opened our green door alone?" Zhu Haowen said.

    "It's very possible, no, it should be said that only this is possible," Ke Xun looked at the closed green door, "blue and green add up to cyan."

    Shi Zhendong's eyes were red, and her voice was a little hoarse: "However, Beibei had nothing wrong with it yesterday, and his behavior is no different from usual."

    "This is probably the brilliance of this world," said Mu Yiran. "People who are bewitched by it have always maintained their own temperament, and only when they need to do something for it will they suddenly do it so that they will not be What we perceive."

    Wei Dong scratched the somewhat disheveled hair: "You mean, did Xin Beibei make the blue that was stained on Xiaoye yesterday?"

    Mu Yiran did not speak, saying that he was tacitly aware.

    Guo Lixia frowned: "But after finishing work at noon yesterday, the three of us all washed our hands well, especially Xin Beibei washed the cleanest."

    "There is no need to stick the obvious color to your hands, just hide a blue berry in your pocket." Mu Yiran expanded his own inference, "Everyone was assigned work at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. People continued to work, and some of the remaining people went to the fourth floor to check the changes of Zhang Tianwei's corpse, while the remaining few people stayed in the lobby on the first floor."

    Wei Dong nodded: "Yes, I, Xiaoye, Sister Guo and Xin Beibei were left behind."

    "If I didn't guess wrong, the actions of Xin Beibei and Ye Ningchen were closer, right?"

    "Yes, Sister Guo was taking a nap at the time. The two girls were chatting all the time, and I couldn't say anything." Wei Dong still felt that Ye Ningchen was wronged when he died. "Xiao Ye Mingming has already washed her skirt, why ..."

    "Perhaps the color of this world is defined as indelible. Even if it disappears from the naked eye, it still exists." Mi Wei's voice still tried to stay calm. color!"

    Everyone was connected to the various signs that happened yesterday, and they have been consistent with today's inferences.

    "When Xiaoye had an accident last night, did you hear any abnormal noises in the room? Or did you see any abnormalities?" Qin Ci asked.

    Wei Dong's face looked haggard: "We didn't sleep last night, and Xiaoye didn't dare to sleep. Then the room suddenly became dark. There was no movement during the process. When the room was restored, we found that Xiaoye was missing. Up."

    "Gone?"

    "The pattern belonging to Xiaoye is gone, her body merges with the darkness, and it turns out that she has become like that..." Wei Dong couldn't continue.

    The real death in this world is one with darkness; in daylight, it is as pale as a wall.
