    Ke Xun squatted next to the dead pheasant. Opposite him were Zhu Haowen, Shao Ling and Qin Ci. The three of them also squatted here to observe the pheasant carefully.

    Ke Xun pushed the pheasant's corpse with his hand. Zhu Haowen Shao Ling and Qin Ci "over there" saw the corpse suddenly shaking. Qi Qi jumped up in shock and stepped back guardingly to stare at it.

    --effective!

    Seeing hope, Ke Xun suddenly became more energetic. He picked up the pheasant's body, broke the pheasant's legs with both hands, and put it in a big split posture and threw it on the deck.

    Mu Yiran: "..."

    Zhu Haowen: "..."

    Qin Ci: "..."

    Shao Ling: "..."

    Luo Ling was far away: "..."

    "...It seems that an invisible force is playing with it." Shao Ling hesitated.

    "...Is it the invisible things in the sea?" Qin Ci guessed uncertainly.

    "Will those things be so different?" Zhu Haowen pointed his chin at the pheasant with a standard posture.

    Qin Ci and him looked at each other and saw the incredible and hopeful light in each other's eyes.

    The three people stared at the dead pheasant, not knowing what to do for a while.

    Ke Xun didn't want to waste time, so he dipped his finger in the blood from the pheasant's head and wrote on the deck.

    However, the color of the deck was darker. He wrote a few words and found that the three of them hadn't noticed. He had to stop, think about it, and pluck off the long tail feathers of the pheasant, and put them behind his ears. One.

    Zhu Haowen looked at the height of these two feathers and the distance between them, suddenly said: "Ke Xun, is that you?"

    Ke Xun nodded quickly, and the two feathers moved back and forth with his head.

    "It's really you, Xiao Ke?!" Qin Ci, who has always been calm, is also rarely happy. "Where is Xiao Mu?"

    Ke Xun took a feather from behind his ear and pointed the pointed feather root to where Mu Yiran was standing.

    "What happened?" Shao Ling asked, "Can you talk?"

    Ke Xun shook his head.

    "So, how about writing? I'll get bamboo slips and pen ink?" Shao Ling said.

    Ke Xun shook his head, pointed his feather at the dead pheasant on the ground, then pinched the feather, dipped it in the blood of the pheasant, and stroked the deck a few times.

    Zhu Haowen pointed the light of the phone at the deck and saw that there seemed to be some blood stains on it, and said: "I can't see clearly, you can wait a moment."

    He said that he tore off most of the hem of the white robe he was wearing and spread it on the deck: "Write here."

    Ke Xun dipped his feathers in blood, and when the bloody feather tips fell on the white robe, the white robe no longer turned into water waves, so he wrote: "Burning rhinoceros."

    "Let us light the rhino horn?" Zhu Haowen asked.

    Ke Xun drew a "√" on the cloth.

    Shao Ling immediately turned and went to the central hall to fetch the rhino horns, while Qin Ci went to wake up Wei Dong who had passed out. Luo Ling came step by step, staring at the void and asked: "Brother, are you invisible?"

    "..." Ke Xun wrote on the cloth: (-_-).

    Zhu Haowen: "..."

    Luo Ling: "When are you still playing emojis, Brother Dong is crying to death, what happened to you and my brother-in-law? Why can't you see you? Are you all right? Have you found the seal? You guys, you won't stop here. Will you become an invisible person from now on?"

    "There are so many things about this stuff." Ke Xun was depressed and wrote on the cloth: shat up!

    Luo Ling: "Brother, you spelled ‘shut’ wrong."

    Ke Xun: "..."

    Zhu Haowen: "..."

    Shao Ling took all the rhino horns to the deck. Wei Dong followed Qin Ci back with a pair of swollen eyes. Shao Ling asked Ke Xun, "Is it lighted by the phone or we light it by ourselves?"

    "Mobile phone." Ke Xun wrote, "click one first and test it."

    Everyone understood what he meant, and it was necessary to order one for a test. As for what to try, it is still unclear.

    Shao Ling was about to take out his mobile phone, but Zhu Haowen was taken a step faster, almost impatiently using his mobile phone to ignite the rhino horn.

    The bright light illuminates the small area around the body, and the people standing carefully outside the light, all looking at the floating position of the two feathers, you can see the intersection of light and shadow, slowly showing two slender and tall. The figure is exactly Ke Xun and Mu Yiran.

    "Kerr!" Wei Dong yelled, rushing to hug his lost brother.

    Ke Xun hugged him tightly, then pushed him away: "Your nasal nose is rubbing my face! Hurry up and talk about business-wait." After striding over, he touched Shao Ling with his hand. The rhino horn in his arms was not lit, and found that he could finally touch people and objects. In order to prove it again, he took the bamboo slips thrown on the ground again, "Okay, back!"

    "What's the matter, is it related to killing the pheasant?" Shao Ling asked Mu Yiran.

    Mu Yiran quickly and briefly explained the whole story to several people, and then said: "Hurry up, try to find the seal before dawn."

    Everyone knows the meaning of this statement-no one has died tonight, and if you can't find the seal before dawn, you have to vote.

    Shao Ling asked Mu Yiran and Ke Xun: "So, you two didn't see the illusion just now?"

    Mu Yiran said, "I speculate that only people who are illuminated by the light from the rhino horns will not be affected by the illusion and can see the pheasant."

    Shao Ling said: "Then Li Yi who died on the first night, Xue Ge who died on the third night, and Fang Fei who died on the fourth night, did not actually see the illusion. Why did they die?"

    "Could it be that the pheasant attacked them?" Qin Ci guessed.

    "I don't think this ghost can kill a person with one blow." Ke Xun glanced at the pheasant's body on the deck. "If it can kill a person by attack, what else is it doing with illusion? Even if it is illusion, it can We can only be lured into the sea by temptation, and we cannot take the initiative to come up and rely on entities to forcefully change the trajectory of our behavior."

    Mu Yiran continued his words: "Li Yi, Xue Ge and Fang Fei, when they lit their rhino horns, they should be the same as Ke Xun and me. They didn’t see the illusion, but when they saw the pheasant, Fang Fei could shoot the pheasant. Tail feathers are an example.

    "Since we presume that the pheasant cannot attack people by entity, then I think there are probably two reasons that can cause the death of these three people. The first is that these three people are isolated in another space like me and Ke Xun , Unable to return to the world we are in now, so when the sky was about to dawn, somehow lost his life.

    "The second type, we still have to refer to the story of Niu Zhu’s burning rhinoceros. In the story, Wen Qiao lit the rhinoceros horn, which caused the gods and monsters in the sea to jump out of the sea and put out the fire of the rhinoceros horns. The mirage came from the sea and fell on the ship and turned into a pheasant. It can be inferred that although these three people were not affected by the illusion when they lighted the rhino horn at the beginning, they were extinguished by the pheasant. Although the pheasant could not attack us, the story of the ox burning rhinoceros was used as a reference to prove that it can extinguish the rhino fire. ——Then after it puts out the rhinofire, it can re-impose the illusion on the three people, so it is very likely that the three people will still die of the illusion."

    After listening to Mu Yiran's analysis, everyone nodded.

    "So, what do you think caused you and Mr. Ke to be isolated in another space?" Shao Ling asked, "After the pheasant was killed by you, you are still in another space, so this should not be done by the pheasant. Yes, who is it, or what is it made of?"

    "——Could it be that there are other ghosts besides pheasants in the sea?" Wei Dong shivered, and Luo Ling shivered next to him.

    "Before killing the pheasant, I did hear many other weird sounds in the sea." Ke Xun said.

    "This means...we have to kill everything in the sea to find the clue?" Wei Dong and Luo Ling looked desperate.

    Mu Yiran lowered his eyes and thought, and then raised his eyes to look at everyone after a moment: "In fact, after the darkness of every night, all of us are actually in another space, aren't they?"

    Everyone's gazes paused, as if they had grasped a key point, but they couldn't figure it out for a while.

    Fortunately, they own Mu Yiran.

    "To be more precise, each of us is in a different space," Mu Yiran's voice continued slowly and clearly. "It's not just one different space, but there are several different spaces. Pheasants use these The alien space isolates us separately, and then cooperates with the illusion it creates to trap us. Then the question is, if the alien space was created by pheasants, why after killing it, the alien space that separates me and Ke Xun still exists If the alien space is not created by the pheasant, why can it use the alien space to isolate us at will?"

    "There are other ghosts in the sea that cooperate with it at any time?" Wei Dong guessed.

    "Or, the space it created will not disappear due to its death, but can still survive?" Zhu Haowen said.

    Mu Yiran looked at him: "We have presumed that the illusion we experience every night is transformed by a mirage. Since the mirage is the qi condensed by a thousand-year-old spirit, it is not so easy to disperse, so it can continue to exist. For a while, I think this is right."

    "So you mean, whether it is the space where we were isolated when we experienced the illusion, or the space where you and Ke Xun were isolated after killing the pheasant, it was all created by the pheasant?" Shao Ling looked at Mu Yiran, "but there is One thing needs to remind Mr. Mu that when we experience the illusion, we cannot see, hear and feel each other in the isolated space, but according to the situation you and Mr. Ke just described, you can see and hear us How do you explain this in the space you are in?"

    Mu Yiran was about to speak when he heard Ke Xun say: "Shao Ling, are you suspicious of me and Yiran?"

    After hearing the words, everyone was silent and looked at Shao Ling and Ke Xun together.

    Shao Ling's expression on her face remained unchanged, and she looked at Ke Xun calmly: "Yes, I'm really sorry to say that, but given the nature of the death rule in this painting, I can hardly doubt that the two of you are the embodiment of the upgraded illusion. , After all, it’s not light yet, and this night is not over yet. Isn’t it?"

    Ke Xun gave a speechless smile: "You know, you are clever but you were mistaken by cleverness."

    Shao Ling was unmoved, still calm and indifferent: "I am not smarter than others, I am just more cautious."

    "It's very interesting," Ke Xun looked into his eyes with a faint smile, "You are such a cautious person, it may be difficult for you to give you absolute trust, so I am curious how you can have a completely trustworthy and capable My fate was given to a friend in the other’s hands. Mr. Shao, forgive me for guessing: After the first night, the illusion that you described to us was probably made up by you, right? In fact, you don’t have such a friend at all. , The reason why you made up such a person is just to shape yourself to be very loyal, so as to gain the trust of us people-especially those new people who have just entered the painting and have no backbone. Let me guess one more sentence ——Actually, you are a person with a strong desire for control? You don’t like being controlled by others. Obviously we old members can’t obey you, so you need to control new people and let them listen to your orders. Of course, you can’t just because Saying that you are a bad person, people who have a strong desire for control are everywhere in life, but I advise you, caution is right, but if you are too cautious, you become suspicious. Not only do you have no friends, but you can also easily make mistakes. Really ."

    Shao Ling didn't speak any more this time, and his tight mouth showed that his mood at the moment was not as calm as the expression on his face.

    Wei Dong asked Ke Xun quietly: "How do you know that his first night experience was made up?"

    Ke Xun snorted lightly: "You forgot, the illusion every night is based on the seven emotions of human beings. The theme of the first night is the "love" in the seven emotions, but we did not guess this at the time, so He made up a matter with a friend, and after a few nights, he conjectured that the illusion was based on the seven emotions. At that time, he couldn't change his words, but fortunately, no one paid any attention to it anymore. Whose'love' will be friends with yourself? He is not gay!"

    Wei Dong looked at him: "You have been fighting with the big guys for a long time, and your IQ combat effectiveness has also increased rapidly. Leverage!"

    Ke Xun glanced at Shao Ling: "Doubt me, yes. I doubt my boss who worked so hard to help everyone find the way-no."
