Minna's sharp scream tore the air in the cave like jiajiatian's face.

In the scream echoing in the mountain wall, Lin Sanjiu was the first to rush towards jiajiatian on the ground; When she squatted down and carefully lifted his shoulder, Pina and pan Cui also arrived one after another.

No one understood what had just happened, and they didn't dare to say anything; The rapid breathing sound in his ear, when Lin Sanjiu slowly rolled over jiajiatian's body, seemed to be suddenly cut off by silence, and suddenly stopped.

Minna's scream stopped, and the aftersound still echoed inside and outside the portrait. It seemed that she also rushed to her nephew in the "portrait world" and shouted angrily, "Levin! What did you do!"

The "jiajiatian" she saw in the portrait world is probably different from that in the cave - because after seeing jiajiatian's face, for several seconds, Lin Sanjiu wanted to move his body, but he didn't have a muscle to obey, let alone anger.

She couldn't understand what she saw.

Pina covered her mouth with her hands, her fingertips and cheeks were pressed white, and her body trembled slightly. Pan Cui stretched out a hand, as if to touch Jia Jiatian's face. Before approaching, she immediately pulled back.

No blood, no exposed muscle tissue, no subcutaneous fat... From a certain point of view, jiajiatian's face should not be terrible. There was only a long crack. Starting from his forehead, the whole face was slashed all the way, making his face turn over like an oil painting canvas - under the crack in the canvas, there were no bones, no nerves, only an empty black background of an oil painting.

Lin Sanjiu reacted and hurriedly pressed jiajiatian's body. Like normal people, his body temperature is warm, his skin is elastic, and he can feel the shape of musculoskeletal when pressed down. He is really a person, or was once a person.

But what happened to his face? Why is that?

"Minna, stop screaming,"

An impatient reprimand came from Peter's portrait, and then he shouted to the rest, "everyone be quiet, don't panic!"

Lin Sanjiu raised his head involuntarily.

Lei Wen has left jiajiatian's portrait and returned to his own oil painting portrait again - so, if Lei Wen did it in his oil painting last time, would she also become jiajiatian?

Pan Cui seemed to think of the same place. At this time, she looked at her with a pale face and fear.

"We all know what's going on," said Peter in his heavy voice. If you listen carefully, you can still hear something of satisfaction. "What are you panicking about? I have already reminded you that they may use a person's image to approach us... But I didn't expect that the first exposure was jiajiatian."

The three evolutors were like being fixed in place, guarding jiajiatian, whose face was cut like a canvas, and did not dare to move.

Less than half of the reasons why they dare not move are that they are unwilling to make a sound and attract attention; Most of it was because they all recognized that Peter's voice came from two places at the same time.

One source of sound is Peter's oil painting; The other is jiajiatian's split face, which is in the dark.

"Lei Wen and I have already discussed. Once someone shows his essence without excuse, we will immediately deal with him and don't give that person any chance to escape." Peter seemed to enjoy every word he said and slowly said, "Minna, don't cry, your nephew is not this person on the ground at all... They created the appearance of human beings to approach us and want to completely cut off the spread of the truth."

This is the essence of the portrait copy... Lin Sanjiu only felt his brain buzzing.

Sure enough, as she guessed, there was no plot at all - what they had to do was not to let the portrait suspect, pretend that they were also a person in the portrait world, and escape from the portrait cave after the party.

If you can't do it, you will be attacked by the portrait and become like jiajiatian in front of you.

But where on earth did jiajiatian get exposed? Lin San Jiu really couldn't think of it.

"Wait, wait a minute," Kate asked tremblingly, "Peter, you just said that the first exposed is jiajiatian... How many are there?"

This sentence caught the attention of the three evolutors.

Lei Wen's sentence "maybe all four people are", jumped into Lin Sanjiu's mind.

From under jiajiatian's broken face, and from the dark darkness that couldn't see the bottom, a small part of Peter's voice drifted out: "well, I think jiajiatian may be the first or the only one. The fact is, before we see the evidence, we can't judge whether a person is a real person or a role 'they' send into our world."

What "evidence" did jiajiatian give him?

Peter added: "according to our research over the years, there is an inseparable relationship between 'them' and the roles created by 'them'... Cutting off the roles will also hit 'them' in another dimensional world."

"If there are more roles, we shouldn't talk about it now," Nika interrupted him a little nervously and hesitated, "you know -"

Peter gave a low smile. "Yes, I know, 'they' are capable of hearing us."

wait. Considering Lei Wen's previous sentence "why didn't you use anti spying facilities", is it possible that the portrait knows that when they talk, they will be heard by their own people, but still——

In this way, everything is purposeful... No wonder, no wonder Kate has been holding back from going to the bathroom!

Lin Sanjiu only felt an electric light in his mind and subconsciously opened his mouth; When she almost made a noise, pan Cui pressed her arm and shook her head.

Lin Sanjiu reacted, quickly closed his mouth again, put jiajiatian back on the ground as it was, and took out his pen and notepad.

"Peter," Scott's voice sounded like a ghost from the cave, "you promised me that the role they sent is of high value. Once you catch one, you will..."

"Of course," Peter said gravely, "I naturally remember what I promised you. Now let me see what abilities this character is equipped with..."

Pan Cui, who was beside her, froze almost imperceptibly.

It was only the tension of muscles and the subtle change of expression, which was so slight that it was almost like an invisible breath. At that moment, it was enough to make Lin Sanjiu lift his head from the notepad and glance at Pan Cui.

"How envious," an unquestionable inner monologue sounded on Kate's portrait in the cave. "When will it be my turn to gain the ability to extract from the character?"

Even Nika's portrait couldn't help but snort bitterly in his heart. "Originally, according to seniority, it was my turn to get the ability of this role. If Scott hadn't been elected as a local councilor, how could Peter have been jealous of him? It's better for me to run for the next round..."

Pina's lips opened and closed silently. Although everyone was silent, Lin Sanjiu could also imagine what she wanted to say - it turned out that they were just prey in the portrait trap.

Since entering the cave, the portraits have been staring at them, trying to find out from them that they are not clues of the portrait

She didn't want to look up at jiajiatian's body. She resisted the stirring emotion in her heart, bowed her head, and continued to write on the Notepad.

"I know what's going on, although I don't know the whole picture yet." She wrote, "the most important thing is that the portrait tonight's party is an experiment for us. Jiajiatian doesn't know why it was exposed and can't be saved... But at least, I know how to save the three of us. Pan Cui, please give me your book with clues."

When pan Cui finished reading these words, she suddenly looked up, and her neck bones made a slight sound.

She didn't say anything, just lowered her head to get the notebook; Pina first hurriedly wrote on the Notepad, "how can I protect it?"

This is about to explain from the beginning... When Lin Sanjiu was sorting out his thoughts, he heard a surprised and suspicious question from Peter's portrait: "what's the matter?"

Several people turned their heads at the same time.

They exchanged eyes with each other. With Lin Sanjiu's sign, Pina nodded and asked Peter's portrait in a low voice, "what's the matter? I'm new, I don't understand..."

The three of them must participate in the dialogue from time to time, otherwise the three of them will sit quietly next to this accident and keep silent, which will definitely arouse the suspicion of the portrait.

"Why not?" Peter's anger seemed to be directed at jiajiatian. "His body took on this look, indicating that he was just a role, there is no doubt about it. But why can't I extract ability from him?"

Scott got uneasy and said, "try again. It's impossible for me to be competent."

Although I don't understand how they try, I don't understand why they can't extract ability from jiajiatian; But while the voices of the portraits are getting louder and louder, it is a good opportunity for the three to communicate with each other. Lin Sanjiu took pan Cui's notebook, read every clue and speculation carefully, and even read pan Cui's words to Jia Jiatian - when she closed the book, her heart became more and more clear.

"Since the beginning of this copy, I don't know how many evolutors have walked into this cave again and again, dealt with the portraits, completed various conditions, and completely disappeared from the portrait world - that is, the evolutors either died or left here."

Lin Sanjiu's words to write are not short. She must hurry up, so the characters and strokes are very simple, and sometimes she jumps.

"After so many confrontations with evolutionists, I think the portraits have a deep understanding of us. Although they may not really understand our existence, as well as the concepts of copies, they undoubtedly know one thing."

Pina slightly tilted her head and looked at this sentence in her notebook, her face full of doubts.

"They know that we can only hear them, but we can't see them.

”We can't see them, and naturally we can't see where they are - and this is the trap of tonight's party. "

Pina and pan Cui raised their eyes, confused and shocked.

"So, when we prove that we can see the surrounding environment clearly, it also proves that we are also a member of the portrait world... If I guess correctly, as long as we pass the test and the party is over, we should be able to leave here."

Pina grabbed another pen and hurriedly wrote on another Notepad: "prove that we can see the environment? Why do we need to prove this? I don't understand."

Lin Sanjiu breathed.

The next part is mainly her speculation based on the clues given by the portraits, if not

She shook her head, shaking away the fear.

"Don't forget," she wrote in her notebook, "the experiment was set up by Peter to screen the evolutors. The location of 'mountaintop mansion' was also what he told us at the beginning through his inner monologue - when he clearly knew that the inner monologue might also be heard by the evolutors. In fact, the portraits and we were not in the mountaintop mansion at this time."
