Groundbreaking 13┃About magic realism.

"Rhino Elephant? Is it related to the Rhino Elephant Art Museum?" Sha Liu felt a little strange.

Many people have also thought of this. This kind of painting coincides with reality, which is even more shocking.

The old man Li Taiyong still had his usual look: "The Rhino Elephant Art Museum originally occupied this area. In the past few years, the street in front of the art museum was still Chunsun Street. Later, after the street was transformed and the underground subway was built, Chunsun Street completely disappeared. Up."

"Could it be that the Rhinoceros Art Museum and the famous Internet celebrity restaurant are both..." Xinmiao felt that talking about outside things in this world was like talking about dreams.

"Yes, it was all done by the Hong Kong developer." Old man Li Taiyong affirmed.

Obviously this information is very important to Chunsun Apartment, but everyone really can't link this information to the seal. After all, the world in the painting has been delimited to the tube building, and it is impossible to go out and look for the stone rhino elephant.

Besides, the door is closed, it is impossible to come and go freely.

The mood is depressed, coupled with the hot weather, everyone eats very little lunch, and is a little sleepy after the meal. After all, I didn't sleep well last night.

So, each went back to the room for a short lunch break.

Ke Xun returned to his 411. When he entered the bedroom, he looked down at the red slippers under the bed, and did not see any changes in position: "Did there be any movement in our house last night?"

Mu Yiran: "I didn't hear it."

Also, under the loud noise outside the window last night, everything was minimal.

There is electricity in the room during the day, and the electric fan can be turned on. It is still a thing to enjoy in this harsh environment.

Ko Xun soon fell asleep and had a very bright dream. In the dream, he became a child. He took a small utility knife and carved on the wall. The carvings were all clumsy bamboo shoots patterns. .

The sky began to darken at the moment, and Ke Xun woke up when he was nervous.

In the hot weather, taking a nap is not a comfortable thing. Ke Xun was sweating. After waking up, he found one leg still resting on Mu Yiran's leg. He pulled away subconsciously, but suddenly found that the other party was awake.

 

 

"I'm sorry, I'm sleeping dumbfounded and pressing you down." Ke Xun touched the mat mark on his face and woke up completely.

I don't know how long Mu Yiran woke up, and how long he held the opponent down again.

Mu Yiran was still lying flat: "I just don't want to wake up your dream."

"Huh?" When did the boss care about his dreams?

"You are talking in a dream."

"This... is a rare phenomenon, I generally don't have this problem." Ke Xun quickly clarified.

"You said: the bamboo shoots will be drawn soon, and the ground will soon be broken."

"I said?!"

"Yes, you said."

Ke Xun carefully thought about his dream just now: "I dreamt that I was a child..." He suddenly reacted, "Yes, child! Have you noticed that the positions of the bamboo shoots are not very high? You have to bend down to see it every time!"

Mu was thoughtful, got up and sat cross-legged on the bed: "The painter Luo Bin was very young and was born in 1985. If the world in the painting is 96 years old, Luo Bin was only 11 years old at the time, and he was not tall. Grow up."

"You mean, the child who painted these bamboo shoots is probably the painter himself?" Ke Xun felt that this idea was bold, but it wasn't aimless.

If this is the case, where do you look for clues to the seal? Could it be that where the seal was also engraved with a utility knife?

Mu Yiran said: "The situation of 616 is not the same as our rooms. Before 616, it was supposed to be an empty room. The bedding, tables and chairs in it were all put in later, like the apartment was purchased for the convenience of renting out. More like a hotel."

"You mean, the residents before 616 moved everything?" Before Ke Xun finished speaking, he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside.

 

 

Although it was broad daylight, the knock on the door still seemed abrupt.

Wei Dong's voice came from outside the door: "Ke Er, open the door!"

As soon as Ke Xun opened the door, he found that Sha Liu who was next door had arrived at the door somehow, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter? What happened?"

Wei Dong simply said at the door: "It was discovered by Hao Wen'er, outside our window, outside... the terrain has become higher."

"What does it mean that the terrain has become higher?" Sha Liu asked urgently.

"Didn't you build a circle of concrete walls outside? It has been repaired to your fourth floor. Now we look out from the windows and find that the road and ground outside are flush with the fifth floor!" Wei Dong also did not know how to express it better.

"Go up and take a look." Mu Yiran had already left the house, and Sha Liu followed closely behind him. Despite the dizziness and nausea before, Ke Xun bit his scalp to keep up.

As soon as he reached the fifth floor, Ke Xun felt the suffocation of the top pressure: "How do I feel that the stairs here are also deformed."

Ke Xun gave himself a few more Danshen dripping pills, pressed his almost exploding heart, and gritted his teeth on the sixth floor.

616 Sure enough, as Mu Yiran said, the decoration and furnishings are a bit of an old hotel, pasted with old-style concave and convex wallpaper, doors, windows and heating are covered with wooden edges, even the bed is a standard hotel single bed, and there is a TV cabinet. Color TV.

Zhu Haowen was sitting by the bed playing a game, seeing everyone coming, took the initiative to let the window open.

Mu Yiran opened the window, and he realized that the ground outside was built on the fifth floor. From the eyes of people outside, it might be a two-story building.

Ke Xun and Sha Liu looked at the busy traffic outside the window, feeling that the mundane world outside seemed unreal.

"Then where are the residents below the fourth floor?" Sha Liu seemed to have thought of something, and felt excited.

"Under the ground." Mu Yiran said.

 

 

Ke Xun still didn't understand: "What was outside your window before?" Then he looked at Mu Yiran, "What was the window outside when you came here to check in the morning?"

"It's a cloud of white mist." Mu Yiran said.

Wei Dong also nodded: "Yes, although our window is bright, we can't see the outside clearly. It's like a lot of fog outside, and only the sun is faintly coming through."

"Suddenly you can see it now?" Ke Xun thought it was very weird, even nonsensical.

"Not suddenly," Zhu Haowen said suddenly, "I can vaguely see some scenes this morning."

Sha Liu looked at the world outside, and suddenly had a desire to rush out. Zhu Haowen stopped her in time: "If you can't get out, this window can't be opened at all."

Mu Yiran seemed to have thought of something: "Let's go to the fifth floor and have a look."

Zhu Haowen raised his eyes to look at Mu Yiran, and followed everyone to the fifth floor.

Because there was no companion of their own on the fifth floor, everyone had to go to the window of the public toilet and found that there was still hazy fog outside, but the outline of the city scene could be vaguely seen.

"It's weird, what can these phenomena show?" Sha Liu didn't mind being in the men's room at this time.

"This must have something to do with the deformation of the room." After Ke Xun came to the fifth floor, he felt better than before.

"Why is the room deformed? Where are we?!" Sha Liu was somewhat depressed and out of control. "According to what we just saw on the sixth floor, this tube building is clearly buried in the soil! We have been in the soil!!"

"So, the name of this work is "Broken Earth"." Mu Yiran faced the window, unable to see his expression.

Ke Xun only felt that his whole body was getting goose bumps when electricity was applied, not because of fear, but because of an inexplicable understanding: "It turns out that this is a work of magic realism."

Weidong was frightened by Ke Xun: "Ke Er, do we have something to talk about."-Why did the professional Yaozi suddenly start?

 

 

Ke Xun looked serious at this time: "It is our tube building that is going to break the ground. It is the entire spring bamboo shoot apartment. Those bamboo shoots symbolize our building. We are now buried in the soil and are slowly emerging from the ground. ."

Mu Yiran couldn't help turning back: "Keep on talking."

Because of the openness of the men’s room, Ke Xun’s voice echoed here, like a meaningful speech——

"The reason why the room is deformed is because the top of the tube building must gather inward, why must it gather inward? It's because the whole building wants to transform itself into a top-pointed bamboo shoot, and then wait for the opportunity to break the ground!"

Ke Xun's remarks are full of imagination and unreality, but they fit closely with the world in the painting, forming a true story with both pictures and texts.

Sha Liu's voice was full of tremors: "If the ground is really broken, what will we do?"

No one answers this question, no one can answer.

In the end, Mu Yiran said: "Before the ground is broken, the top of the floor will be completely gathered, and those of us inside will be completely trapped and completely isolated from the outside air-the ground breaking is not set up for us, we are just a funerary among them. ."

"No, no," Sha Liu took two steps backwards, "What about now, what should I do now? It's almost night, and the ghost of 307 is coming out!"

Mu Yiran looked at the watch on his wrist: "At four o'clock, we still have time. We will try our best to collect graffiti works in the building. No matter what kind of medium the painting is on, we must find a way to collect it! Maybe the seal Right in it."

"Good!" Sha Liu was the first to leave, and the search before night became a life-saving straw.

Everyone also dispersed, some went directly to find graffiti works, some went to communicate with other members, and then searched together.

It was more than 6 o'clock in the evening, and everyone still got nothing.

The concierge suddenly appeared at the restaurant and gave everyone a new instruction: "Tonight, we will all stay in the house, don’t go out."

The NPC suddenly changed the hard and fast rules, or suddenly narrowed the scope of everyone's activities-not letting out, which means that they can't walk in and walk up the stairs.

 

 

Xinmiao was the first to raise doubts: "What should I do if I go to the toilet at night?"

"You have put a bucket at the door of each of you, and you will take them back to the house after you have eaten. You can settle in the bucket at night." The concierge said blankly.

Because the night falls again, many people are a little bit Liushen.

Qiu Lu was even more afraid because of the death of two of her companions: "If we don't let go, we won't even have a chance to escape! Once a monster breaks through the door, we will definitely die!"

But Sha Liu said: "It's really not possible, we can still jump out of the window."

Ke Xun frowned: "I'm afraid that the result would be worse."

But Sha Liu stared red eyes: "It's better than being stirred by someone!"

This sentence reminds everyone that the rickety person in 307, holding the porcelain basin in his hand, kept stirring the stuffing inside.
