"You don't have to consider me," the fat man waved his hand quickly, "My heart is bigger than you think.

"Is that so..." Chen Ran squinted and stared at the fat man, who looked away directly. The pressure brought by Chen Ran's eyes was no less than that of the doctor.

As for the reason why the doctor did this, the fat man probably knew it in his heart.

The doctor was worried that Chen Ran would suddenly attack from behind when he was observing the clues, so he simply pulled Chen Ran to watch together.

Su Xiaoxiao was not accurate in one thing.

There was not only one painting on the stone pillar, but many paintings, depicting different scenes, but they were related to each other. The fat man was fascinated by it.

The brushstrokes of the people portrayed were relatively rough, But it can still be seen that there is a certain level of skill. The composition of each painting is very clear and easy to understand.

Overall, the fat man felt that the person portrayed was a series of paintings completed under extreme fear or urgent conditions.

There are nine paintings in total, arranged in a grid. The first eight paintings can be seen clearly, only the ninth one... The fat man blinked his eyes, it seems that only half of the painting was painted.

It is a fragmentary picture.

The fragmentary area is about two-thirds of the upper left side of the painting, and in the lower right corner, the fat man swallowed his saliva, walked around Chen Ran's position, and took a closer look. On it... is a person.

A person dressed strangely.

Curled up, hiding in a In a very small corner.

And... it should be a woman.

At the moment when this impression just appeared, the fat man shuddered involuntarily, and he immediately thought of the crazy old woman hiding in the lighthouse.

But... when he concentrated and looked at the last painting again, the strange sense of familiarity disappeared again.

The painting representing the person was just a few strokes, not even as good as the simple sketch of a kindergarten child. Not to mention the clothes, even the movements of men and women could not be seen.

But at that moment just now, he was sure that the person in the painting was the old woman.

How could it be? !

The fat man panted violently, looking His huge body also began to tremble. He subconsciously tried to stop himself from swallowing, but he couldn't do it.

He didn't know when this painting was left behind, but judging from the degree of wind erosion, it must have been at least a few hundred years. That old woman..., she... how could she...

Could it be that she had already appeared at that time?

Then is she... still a human...

The fat man, who had just come to his senses, wanted to remind the doctor about the old woman, but because Chen Ran was by his side, he couldn't say it clearly. The doctor and Chen Ran were now arm in arm, like a conjoined twin.

"What have you found, Brother Hao?" Chen Ran asked with narrowed eyes.

Jiang Cheng stood up, thought for a while, and said, "It's not clear yet. I think we should go upstairs and take a look first. "

Hearing that the doctor was going upstairs, the fat man's hair stood up. He could almost predict that Su Xiaoxiao's entrustment had failed, and Su An was probably dead.

No, it was just like the motorcycle girl and Liang Long, who mysteriously disappeared.

These are all related to the old woman.

Once the mind is opened, there is a feeling of understanding everything. Those things that were previously incomprehensible now seem to have reasonable explanations.

At the beginning, he was still discussing with the doctor why only the old woman survived the same shipwreck, and... according to the doctor's understanding of nightmares, When everyone is selected for the nightmare mission, the chance of survival should be similar at the beginning.

How could a second-time player appear?

This is inconsistent with the inferred nightmare mechanism.

Now all these have answers.

The old woman is not a player at all. To be precise, she should be a very special NPC, so special that she can attack all players indiscriminately.

When the fat man thought of the old woman staring at him the night before, and the scarlet tongue across his lips, he couldn't help shaking again, and his two ham-like legs were about to collapse.

"Ouch!"

The next second, the frightened fat man jumped half a meter high on the spot.

When he came to his senses and turned around to look over, Jiang Cheng's left hand was around Chen Ran's neck, and his right hand was straight... still maintaining the action of stabbing the fat man.

"You..."

"Let's go," Jiang Cheng said to the fat man carelessly: "Let's go up and take a look, you... just follow us."

"Okay... okay. "

Following Jiang Cheng and Chen Ran obediently, the fat man now understood the wrestling between the two more clearly. The streamlined muscles on Jiang Cheng's arm around Chen Ran's neck bulged as if he could strangle the latter's neck in the next second.

Chen Ran was similar, with one hand seemingly close around Jiang Cheng's waist.

But from the blue veins on the back of his hand, it was obvious that he had hidden strength. With a sudden force, it was estimated that it would not be much worse than the palm that hit Su Xiaoxiao.

Take a deep breath, he also secretly cheered up, afraid that it would only be a matter of time before the two sides tore their faces, and the victory or defeat would be in a flash.

After all, once the doctor lost, as long as Chen Ran had a breath left, it would be difficult for him to be his opponent.

The stairs were dark, and the torches from before were nowhere to be found. He followed the two cautiously. The stairs were spiral, with a dark abyss in the middle. They all tried to get as close to the wall as possible. .ｚaosyancｍ

The fat man was also seriously considering the possibility of joining forces with the doctor to drop the time bomb of Chen Ran.

The hypocritical courtesy came to an end, and Jiang Cheng and Chen Ran walked forward slowly and steadily together, and no one spoke again.

The atmosphere was a little solemn for a while.

As the distance to the lighthouse got closer and closer, the fat man's hazy illusion about the truth was also alleviated a lot.

On the way back from Black Stone Town the night before, the doctor told him some of the problems he had found.

But at that time, the fat man had no idea, so he just listened to it. It was not until now that the fat man realized how terrible the doctor was.

Among the questions raised by the doctor, there were a few that impressed him the most.

According to the doctor, when they were invited to sit down in Black Stone Town, there were still 4 empty seats except for the blond man who was the mayor.

In other words, the "people" in Black Stone Town are assumed to have 7 "guests".

How did this number 7 come about?

Is it just a coincidence?

After all, the old woman and the motorcycle girl stayed in the lighthouse at that time, and there were only 6 people who appeared in the sight of the townspeople at most.

The second time, there were only the doctor, himself, Chen Ran, and Liang Long.

In the end, only three of them showed up.

But what if... the people in Black Stone Town knew their total number through some records or some unknown channels?

Going a step further, the townspeople not only knew their total number, but also... knew that one of them was not a human, so there was no such thing as preparing food for her.

Thinking of the old woman staring at him greedily, the fat man's pupils shrank slightly, and a guess slowly emerged in his mind.

Very scary.
