This is indeed true, but none of the above is important now. What is important is that the door lock was opened, and it opened by itself in a miraculous way!
At this moment, staring at the door of the room that had unlocked by itself, Aoife's thoughts changed. It was obvious that although she had indeed been confused by the strange breeze just now, in fact, she no longer cared about it, but the room where the crack in the door had already been revealed. Attracting, attracting all the woman's attention.
(It shouldn’t matter, right? Anyway, I never broke into the door violently. The door lock opened automatically. Plus, I was the only one at the scene, so why not take advantage of this opportunity...)
Staring at the room in front of her, Ao Fei's thoughts were surging, and her expression kept changing as if she was immersed in hesitation and entanglement. Soon, seemingly having made up her mind, the woman made a move, bit her lip gently, and then stretched out her hand. Push the door with your right hand.
Since the door lock had been retracted in advance, as expected, with a slight push of his arm, the door that had been closed for many years was pushed open by Ao Fei in an instant.
squeak.
As the door opens, the room scene comes into view.
Looking closely, the first thing that catches the eye is a luxurious scene. Many priceless furniture and utensils are displayed inside. The floor is covered with a layer of red carpet, and exquisite furniture is placed around it. Various animal heads or exquisitely crafted weapons and shields are hung on the walls. Some of the gold appliances used as foils also exude an alluring atmosphere, making it look like a luxurious and rich aristocratic bedroom.
No, that's not right...
This is not a bedroom. Although the decoration is exquisite, elegant and luxurious, the level of luxury is not inferior to other rooms. But if you look carefully, you will find that there is no bed here, let alone a bed, there are not even wooden tables, chairs and stools. But this is also not a warehouse. , after all, Aoife knew better than anyone what a warehouse looked like, so when she saw this weird room that neither looked like a bedroom nor a warehouse, Aoife was stunned.
While she was dazed, her vision continued to look around, and then she made a discovery, a strange scene that made her even more confused and confused.
As the eyes swept across the front hall and toward the back, toward the wall at the end of the room, the scene changed.
If the front hall as a whole exudes a luxurious atmosphere, and the walls are covered with rare animal heads or valuable weapons, then the wall at the end is much empty. There are no animal heads, no weapons, and no decorations that can show luxury. It was just snow-white, and there was only a colorful oil painting about the height of a person hanging in the middle of the snow-white wall. The matter was not over, far from over...
As mentioned just now, although the wall at the end is entirely white and undecorated, and there is only a colored oil painting hanging in the middle, a large amount of red paint suspected to be blood is smeared on the wall behind the oil painting. Under the outline of the paint lines, the final composition is A huge circular pattern similar to a starburst formation appeared, and the oil painting hung exactly in the center of the starburst pattern! ! !
Since most Westerners love fantasy movies, it is true that Aoife couldn't understand the meaning of the patterns painted on the wall, but she was still inspired by the patterns and instinctively recalled the magic movies she had seen in the past. She remembered many of the magic movies. There used to be some starburst patterns that ordinary people couldn't understand. I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes now. I saw a red pattern that looked very much like a starburst array!
(What is that? And what is the oil painting in the middle about?)
The result was undoubted. Because of her strong curiosity and the fact that the door was open unimpeded, she glanced at the direction of the stairs and saw that she was still the only one there. Without any hesitation, Aoife started walking with her legs driven by curiosity. Entering the door, walked into this strange room.
……………
The moment he entered the room, Ao Fei noticed a coldness, but this so-called coldness did not come from the physical level, but from the ethereal consciousness level. The feeling was indescribable and almost impossible to explain. It was precisely because Lian Ao Fei felt cold. Fei herself couldn't explain clearly, and Ao Fei could only force herself to ignore the coldness. Now, driven by curiosity, she crossed the door and walked farther and farther until she reached the interior of the room.
For Aoife, who had long been accustomed to seeing all kinds of valuable treasures, the luxurious decoration in the front hall did not appeal to her. She just kept walking with light steps, and finally came to the strange wall with both oil paintings and patterns.
As the distance approached, the content of the star map and the oil painting, which were originally unclear due to the distance, were all in full view. First of all, it was certain that the wall was indeed painted with a huge magic circle similar to a star map. The star map was round and round, with a large circle in the middle. It is a strange symbol outlined by many bloody lines. The symbols are obscure and difficult to understand. Some are like a crescent moon, some are like stars, and some are geometrically connected with a large number of symbols, and then converge together in the center, and the center outlines a A skull pattern that closely resembles a human skull.
No one knows the specific meaning of the complex star map, and no one knows the specific meaning of the skull in the middle. Ao Fei, who is just an ordinary person, naturally sees it incomprehensibly and cannot understand the meaning at all.
Fortunately, nothing is absolute. Although she didn't understand the strange star map at all, she could understand the oil painting hanging in front of the star map. In other words, she could see the content of the painting clearly at a glance. To put it simply, it was an oil painting of a secondary character, a pair of A realistic painting with the theme of two people.
Looking closely, one can see that there are two people in the oil painting at the same time, a man and a woman. Both of them are young. The man has brown hair and is handsome. He is wearing a medieval noble dress and has a sword hanging from his waist. The whole thing is quite powerful. The woman has pure red hair and a beautiful appearance. She is wearing a luxurious long skirt that sets off her slender figure. The man is located on the left side of the oil painting, and the woman is located on the right side of the oil painting. They are facing each other with their heads lowered and their eyes closed, and whether they are Everyone clasped their hands in front of their chests and maintained a unified prayer movement.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can easily guess the relationship between the man and woman in the painting. The answer is probably that they are a couple, but the actions of both parties are just weird. But then again, as a museum staff, Ao Fei has undoubtedly seen this before. In the world, if she recalled carefully, she could still search through her mind for many oil paintings she had seen in the past. There were also many figures in the paintings praying. However, she had never seen the two people praying in exactly the same movements. Moreover, they were still Face to face, the movements are consistent and uniform, and in addition...
If the praying movements of the men and women in the painting can be considered weird, then the background in the painting is completely incomprehensible. The background to the left of the man is a sunny blue sky, and the background to the right of the woman is the opposite starry sky!
As a result, a painting was abruptly divided into black and white, which felt extremely abrupt and unbelievable. The above is the content of the painting that Aoife witnessed. The overall feeling is both shocking and unexpected. Behind the combined oil painting is an even weirder red star map. Putting the two together, Aoife is at a loss and is star struck. The strangeness of the pictures and oil paintings completely confused her. She never dreamed that such a scene was hidden in this locked room that she had been curious about for three years. It is worth mentioning that, because Aoife is very curious, At this moment, although she got her wish and walked into the mysterious room, the strange star map and strange oil painting outlined on the wall of the room once again brought new doubts to Aoife. Prompted by the doubts, the woman frowned and opened her eyes wide. My eyes are always fixed on the oil painting, trying to make further discoveries.
Next…
With a pair of keen eyes trained through years of inventorying collections, Aoife actually discovered something else. He found two lines of small text in the corner of the frame near the edge of the oil painting!
Seeing this, Ao Fei was startled at first, and quickly opened her eyes to lock on the text. This was obviously a subconscious behavior and an instinctive reaction of any human being. She wanted to see the text clearly and see the content clearly, but somehow, she clearly felt that in her heart Her intention was to read the text first, but at the moment when she was browsing the text, Ao Fei opened her mouth, and immediately began to read aloud involuntarily, and she read the text clearly in a reading way:
"Heartlessness is surrounding you, hell is surrounding you, the raging hellfire is always tempering you, torturing you day and night, but your love has finally withstood the test. Once again, I will Help you, free you at the cost of separation, Ho'urto'ata, Kubahara!"
There is no reason, no reason, as if possessed. As soon as his eyes locked on the text, Ao Fei uncontrollably read to himself on the spot, reading the unknown content in a clear and loud tone, and at the end he said a series of extremely obscure words. The complicated incantation!
(Hmm? What’s wrong with me? What was I doing just now? Why did I read it out? Obviously I was just looking at it, but why...)
It was said to be so, but in fact it was also true. The moment he finished reading the words, Ao Fei was already awake, and then his expression was stunned and full of doubts. He was confused about what he was doing, and why he read the words he saw inexplicably?
Specifically, it was impossible for Ao Fei to find the answer, because before she could break away from her shock, the next second, something changed at the scene, and in an instant, a horrific incident occurred that exceeded the limits of people's imagination!
Hooray, hooray!
A hurricane blew up in the room, and a huge unexplained extreme wind enveloped the scene the moment Aoife finished reciting! It just swept the entire room out of thin air without any warning!
Ding-dong, plop, clatter...
"ah!"
Because the strong wind appeared too suddenly and the wind speed was so fierce, many items displayed in the room swayed in the strong wind. The collision of various utensils resounded throughout the scene. Aoife was even caught off guard and screamed. She was shocked by the suddenness of the room. The change was frightening, and she was so frightened that she turned pale and screamed again and again. She couldn't understand what was happening at the scene. She only knew that the room that had been quiet and normal just now was now enveloped by the strong wind. Perhaps the long blowing of the strong wind allowed the woman to gradually adapt. Seeing that the strong wind persisted for a long time, Ao Fei finally reacted, turned around and ran straight to the door behind her.
Obviously, in the face of such strange and inexplicable high-frequency winds, how could Ao Fei dare to stay where he was? The only solution for now is to run away. No matter what, we have to run out of the room first!
only……
Bang!
At the moment Aoife had just run to the front hall and was about to run out of the room, there was a loud bang and the door was closed. It was blown shut by a strong wind that followed. In fact, closing the door was not the point. , the point is that Aoife couldn't open the door. No matter how hard she pushed or pulled, the door, which was obviously unlocked, was still tight!
Boom, boom, boom!
"Ah! What's going on? Door, why can't the door be opened?" It was confirmed that the door could not be opened. In front of the door, Ao Fei, who was already panicking, was completely frightened and went crazy. Then he knocked on the door and screamed at the top of his lungs. : "Is there anyone outside? I'm trapped inside! Help! Who can come and save me? Come and save me quickly!"
As mentioned above, faced with the strange changes in the room and the strong wind, Ao Fei started shouting. Like any trapped person in danger, she instinctively smashed the door and shouted for help, trying to get external rescue. She knew that there were still people in the museum, even if Most of the colleagues have gone off work, but the cleaners responsible for cleaning have definitely not left. As long as one person can hear the noise, they will definitely inquire and come upstairs to rescue her!
Ao Fei thought so, but unfortunately, her shouting had no effect. Like the violent slamming of the door, it did not attract any colleagues or cleaning staff to go upstairs to respond. There was still silence outside the door, and it felt like the entire The castle was left alone and deserted. In panic, Aoife looked back behind her, trying to find weapons and tools that could help her open the door. In fact, that was right. Although the door could not be pushed open, it was made of wood after all. It was made, and there were obviously a certain number of armored weapons in the room. Since he couldn't push it away, he might as well break open the door with the help of weapons. At this moment, Ao Fei's purpose was to find weapons, looking for one that could quickly Ao Fei's idea of using a convenient weapon to open the door was correct, but the reality did not give her a chance at all, because...
As soon as she turned around, she happened to see a scene, a scene that was terrifying enough to scare Ao Fei or even anyone to death:
In the field of vision, the oil painting hanging on the opposite wall suddenly flashed with blue light. Mixed with the cold wind at the scene, the whole body of the oil painting was wrapped in an inexplicable blue light. Next...
A human hand extends out of the painting, a human arm.
As if breaking free from a cage that has been besieged for thousands of years, the human hand first stretched out the oil painting and struggled desperately to move forward, and then exposed the shoulders, body, limbs and even the face and head connected to the arms.
In just a few seconds, a person emerged from the painting, a famous man. A brown-haired man wearing an aristocratic dress was the young man in the painting! ! !
To be honest, since his appearance is exactly the same as that of the man in the painting, if we rule out the scary fact that the man came out of the painting, the brown-haired man is not scary at all. Not only is he not scary, but his handsome appearance and upright posture are also very It is true to say that he is charming and can attract the attention of any woman, but the handsome appearance of a man did not last long. As the man emerged from the oil painting, or in other words, when the man stepped into the real space, next, the man's appearance Changed, the entire body was changing rapidly in a way that was visible to the naked eye!
Shrouded in the strong wind, the man began to wither, like a corpse that had been polished by wind and sand all year round, rapidly collapsing and gradually shrinking. His originally normal skin turned black, his originally upright body became thin and wilted, and his handsome face became distorted and hideous in the mutation. , then cracks appeared and gradually cracked. As the body turned black, the skin cracked, and part of the flesh and blood separated from the body. Not only that, while the man withered and cracked, the previously gorgeous and bright coat also changed at the same time, just like the clothes unearthed from an ancient tomb. It quickly becomes old and black, until it becomes a piece of tattered cloth with no visible original color.
It only took half a minute for the man to complete his transformation. After leaving the oil painting, his limbs quickly withered, water evaporated crazily, and he finally evolved into a horrifying mummy that was completely black! ! !
No, no, that's not a mummy. A mummy is a corpse after all, and it belongs to a dead person. Moreover, the corpse cannot be alive. At this moment, the man's state is extremely strange. He has clearly become a mummy, but he does not fall to the ground or die. Instead, he has two feet. Suspended in mid-air off the ground!
As for Aoife...
From the blue light emerging from the oil painting to the man emerging from the painting, to the man transforming into a mummy, the whole process was witnessed by Ao Fei, who had a panoramic view from start to finish.
Because the picture was so shocking, Ao Fei was stunned, her mind went blank, her thinking was already confused, and the reason for her state was precisely because she had seen a ghost! Astonishingly, I saw a cockroach emerge from the oil painting and come to the real world from an oil painting in a way beyond the limits of human understanding!
While Ao Fei was scared to death and didn't react, the mummy man on the opposite side also didn't move much. On the contrary, he looked more confused like a person who had just suddenly awakened from a thousand-year sleep. At the same time, he made a series of hoarse low sounds. moan:
"Uh... ah... ugh..."
As groans enveloped the scene, a change occurred. The wind that was still roaring suddenly stopped sweeping and disappeared without a trace. At this point, the room returned to silence, and the elegance was silent.
The matter is not over, far from it. Under Ao Fei's dull gaze, the mummy man may not believe the reality in front of him, or he may still be immersed in his own confusion. After stopping the strong wind at the scene, he He stretched out his hands and lowered his head slightly, staring down at himself, looking at himself repeatedly with his red and blood-red eyes. During the observation, he murmured to himself: "I...how...what... happened..."
The voice was extremely hoarse, as if it had been burned by the fire of hell, and it penetrated the ears. Of course, the voice was not the point. The point was that the mummy man gradually recognized the reality through self-observation, and discovered that he was no longer a human being, but... …
Although he recognized that he was no longer human, he still reacted slightly and never cared. It was as if he didn't care at all what he had become. The reality seemed to be like this, but as his eyes moved to the side, , when he accidentally looked at the oil painting hanging on the wall, the mummy man's mood suddenly changed!
"E...lai...en..."
"I...L...en...where...are...you?"
"Where are you?"
As if he was struck by a thunderbolt, the moment his eyes touched the woman in the painting, the mummy man became emotional. At the moment when his pupils suddenly increased in size, he spoke to himself in an intensified voice, and then repeatedly said the word 'Elaine'. The name of the character is extremely feminine, as expected. The woman in the painting should be named Elaine, and she must be inextricably linked to the mummified man!
Of course, all of the above has nothing to do with Ao Fei, and Ao Fei himself has long been unable to care about it. Because the mummy man kept floating in place and muttered to himself, in the end, Ao Fei, who had been given enough time, reacted and completely broke away from the envelope. After being stunned for a long time, Ao Fei finally broke free, but after breaking free, Ao Fei was even more frightened. She was so frightened by the mummy man that no matter how she looked at it, it was definitely a wolf, and her whole body was shaking wildly. Fortunately, she was smart and was not overwhelmed by the strong fear. Instead, she stimulated her survival potential in the excessive fear beyond the limit. It was only then that she suddenly remembered that she was still in the room, and actually in the same room with a hawk!
so……
Keeping her body trembling and her face pale, Ao Fei made a move, an extremely slight move. While the mummy opposite was still muttering to herself, she raised her arm slightly to hold the doorknob with her back to the door.
There is no doubt that Ao Fei wants to escape, trying to test whether the door can be opened before the other party notices her. After all, the strong wind has disappeared. What if the disappearance of the strong wind means that the door seal is also lifted?
As a result, Aoife succeeded!
With the force of the fingers, the next moment, the door that had been tightly closed earlier and was difficult to open was easily opened to reveal a gap!
Upon noticing this, Ao Fei was immediately overjoyed, and quickly continued to move at a faster pace, continuously widening the gap in the door in a way that made no noise as much as possible, until the gap revealed the corridor outside the door, until the gap could be used by one person.
Next, Ao Fei moved, tiptoeing back slowly, and kept retreating to the corridor outside the door, but...
At the last moment when Aoife had mostly left the room and was about to retreat silently, opposite, the mummified man who had just been staring at the oil painting and muttering to himself turned around without any warning and suddenly looked at the front hall that was only half a meter away. Aoife is about to retreat to the corridor!
As his red eyes locked on the woman, along with it, there was a hoarse question full of anger: "Tell...tell...me...where...I...lai...en...is...?"
"I don't know! I don't know! Wahhhhh!"
Da da da da da!
Ao Fei did not and could not know where Elaine was. On the contrary, she was frightened out of her mind by the mummy man's sudden turn of his head. She was so frightened by the man's look at her without any warning that three of her souls left her body and seven souls ascended to heaven. Because The fear reached the limit, and the door opened. Aoife, who could no longer endure it, ran away like a sharp arrow from the string and ran along the corridor. !
As for the mummy man...
He heard Aoife's answer, and clearly heard the hasty reply that the woman dropped before running away.
After learning the answer, the mummy man made no move. He did not chase or pursue him. He just floated on the spot and muttered to himself. He said something in a hoarse voice again, a mutter that was obviously a little faster than before: "No." , do you know the way? Since, then, like, this..."
"Then you can die!!!"
