Chapter 70 The Painting on the Wall
Chapter 70 The Painting on the Wall
Lin Yue clearly remembered that he had overheard that Grey Wolf's room was 803 upstairs.
Now that I don't have a safe room, I have no choice but to borrow one from him.
Thinking of this.
Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh, and the paper bag on her head seemed to swell up a bit.
I never imagined that just a few seconds later, I would end up like Pigsy.
Will Grey Wolf open the door for himself this time?
Most likely not.
But if you don't go upstairs.
Then he could only stand in this unprotected corridor, facing off against the endless stream of ghosts.
His greatest hope now.
That's the same person who followed the handprints outside the window and actually went to find the Big Bad Wolf.
After all, since I was already being haunted by that eerie opera music at the front desk, it's normal for Grey Wolf to be haunted by that thing too.
If Grey Wolf is killed or driven away by that handprint.
I just happened to be able to find an empty room.
Lin Yue held her breath and quickly stepped out of the room.
At this moment, there were still scattered dim lights on or off in the corridor outside, making the grooves on the ground and the stains on the walls appear unclear.
Such a scene wouldn't need any extra modifications to be used in a horror movie.
Just bring the camera over.
The doors to rooms 705 and 703 next door were both tightly closed.
One of the crazy women escaped, but the butcher remained in the house.
Lin Yue looked down and saw a string of bright red footprints on the ground, stretching from 705 to her door and then all the way to the stairs.
"These must be that crazy woman's footprints, right?"
He thought about it to himself.
He glanced at 703 to the side.
Since the butcher here was able to drive away that crazy woman, the level of terror must be on another level.
Perhaps leaving such a dangerous neighbor is not necessarily a bad thing.
Lin Yue hunched over, carefully avoiding the bloody footprints on the ground, and cautiously walked forward.
704 is not far from the stairs.
So he reached the stairs in no time.
However, in his view, the madwoman's footprints were running straight downhill.
Lin Yue immediately felt relieved.
He was going to the eighth floor, and the madwoman was also going up.
Those two are very likely to bump into each other again.
However, it seems that this concern is no longer valid.
He walked up the stairs.
The entire building is now eerily quiet, like a dead place.
The staircase, however, looked rather "lively".
I don't know which naughty kid played this prank.
The walls of the staircase from the seventh to the eighth floor were covered with strange graffiti in various colors.
The lines are immature, and the composition is strange.
But you can still roughly tell what the child drawing is trying to express.
At the very beginning of the staircase, there was a family photo of a family of three, with two adults holding the hand of a little child with pigtails.
The three of them used different colored crayons to represent their different identities: blue for the father, warm yellow for the mother, and pink for the daughter. All three of them had big smiles on their faces.
Lin Yue continued walking forward.
In the second picture, a family of three is riding in a large truck, moving into a warm new home, and their smiles are still so bright.
But Lin Yue glanced at it.
For some reason, behind the family of three, the house representing their new home, despite being decorated with many positive images like small trees, birds, and flowers, somehow felt so much like this "Apple Garden"...
Did this family of three move into Pingxiangyuan?
The third painting.
Although you can still tell that the art style is exactly the same as before.
But Lin Yue still had a vague feeling that something in the picture had changed.
Most importantly.
After moving into the new home.
The pink-clad child was suddenly replaced with an eerie black one.
The child's face no longer held that big smile; instead, it wore a cold and distant expression.
The parents haven't changed much.
Perhaps due to the influence of the children, their smiles weren't as wide as before, and there seemed to be a lingering sadness between their brows.
Lin Yue thought to herself, "Is that black-clad child referring to how, after entering Pingxiang Garden, the child's willpower was the weakest, and their mind was distorted by the aura here, or... was they simply replaced by something here?"
Walk to the fourth painting.
The little black child has completely changed.
She was dragging a still-bleeding half of an animal carcass in her left hand, and holding a dripping, sharp knife in her right.
The image is completely different from its previous cuteness; instead, it appears strange and incongruous.
The mother, dressed in warm yellow, knelt beside him, weeping.
The father in blue was furious, his eyebrows raised and glaring at the child.
The child, however, was completely unaffected; a faint smile even appeared on his face.
A loving family is falling apart.
"This child has gone mad. She won't feel happy because of warmth and family affection; she will only smile because of the pleasure of taking lives." This was Lin Yue's first impression after seeing the painting.
At this moment, Lin Yue walked to the middle of the stairs.
What appeared before him was the fifth painting.
I don't know what happened in between.
The blue dad and the yellow mom are hugging each other. The mom is crying, and the dad is comforting her.
The child was locked in a small cage, his face full of anger, as if he was shouting something.
The cage was surrounded by the corpses and heads of various animals, but the most conspicuous of them was a child of the same age whose neck was broken at a 90-degree angle.
The child's body was drawn with a unique bright red crayon, as if to say that he was covered in blood when he died.
Lin Yue's eyelids twitched. "This child wasn't satisfied with torturing animals, she also killed a peer? And then her parents, fearing exposure, locked her up?"
He continued walking forward.
The sixth painting appeared before my eyes.
The child seemed to have been trapped for a long time; even his hair covered his body.
Her expression was one of great pain, but just outside the cage, a completely new character who had never appeared before suddenly appeared.
The figure was also drawn with black ink, but the black was even deeper, with almost no other colors visible.
It was exceptionally tall, almost twice the size of its parents, with one hand behind its back and the other holding a key-shaped object.
"This person is going to release the insane child," Lin Yue thought to herself, her eyes turning cold.
If this monster, who started abusing animals and killing his peers from a young age, were released from his cage, who knows what terrifying things would happen?
The tall figure looked at the child without showing any fear.
An extremely exaggerated smile appeared on his face, with the corners of his mouth almost splitting to his ears, and his mouth full of large, sharp teeth, looking both evil and ferocious.
They looked as if they were anticipating what was about to happen.
Lin Yue suddenly recalled the child's resentful gaze towards his parents in the previous painting...
