Paintings of Terror - C.285: They Are Coming!

“I… I have diarrhea…” Xiao Kai groaned in pain weakly. “Help… help me to the… the bathroom…”

Seeing his legs trembling uncontrollably, Tian Yang didn’t hesitate and immediately lifted Xiao Kai onto his back. He strode quickly towards the bathroom which was in the corner. VoBeFf

“Is… is it safe to go to the bathroom?” Wu You asked her companions fearfully.

“I’ll go check.” Ke Xun stood up.

“I’ll go instead,” Qin Ci said. “I can also assess the symptoms through his excrement.”

Ke Xun lit up his phone and went to the bathroom with Qin Ci. Qin Ci knocked on the door and entered, while Ke Xun waited outside. NGw zd

Inside the bathroom, Xiao Kai seemed to be experiencing more than just diarrhea; he was also vomiting uncontrollably and didn’t come out for a long time. Ke Xun stood outside the door. His gaze turned towards the staircase opposite the bathroom door leading to the second floor.

The narrow wooden staircase led into the dark depths of the second floor. The darkness there didn’t seem peaceful; there was something that seemed to about to move.

Ke Xun stared at the darkness for a moment, listening intently. Amidst Xiao Kai’s painful vomiting sounds behind the door, he barely discerned a faint sound, like something lightly rubbing against the floor.

The sound came from the second floor, from the darkness that seemed to conceal unimaginable horrors. 129lpF

Ke Xun discreetly took out a spare phone and a foldable fruit knife from his pocket. The knife was found in the kitchen and he had taken off the spare phone’s casing before entering the painting. The phone’s battery was exposed. If he stabbed it with the fruit knife, the phone could be made to explode at any time.

Ke Xun slowly tucked the lower half of the spare phone into his shirt collar, revealing the upper half. With one hand holding the spare phone and the other holding the fruit knife, he activated the flashlight on the phone hidden in his collar.

A beam of white light illuminated the unsettling darkness on the second floor. In that infinite darkness, a human-like, ghastly pale face suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs!

The face was horrifyingly pale, like a wrinkled white paper soaked in water that had been pasted on its face, or the face of a corpse drained of every drop of blood. However, in its completely white eyeballs, several strands of black blood of various thickness trickled down its cheeks and flowed into its stiff mouth below, which seemed to contain a piece of flesh.

This eerie and terrifying pale face, embedded in the darkness filled with dust lit by the light behind it, appeared so abruptly, as if a ghostly face had emerged from another world, creeping at the top of the stairs, “watching” Ke Xun downstairs expressionlessly with the whites of its eyes soaked in dark blood.
