There are 41 portraits in the corridor. The starting portrait is the 21st portrait, and there are 20 portraits on each side of it.
The portraits are spaced five meters apart, and this seemingly endless corridor, with no exit in sight, is actually only 200 meters long.
She is now trapped in this corridor, and the portrait in front of her is the starting point of the corridor's cycle. Is the way to break the cycle to destroy this portrait?
However, this was just speculation without any concrete evidence, so Xia Linyin didn't dare to destroy the portrait rashly. Besides, she still didn't understand the meaning of the game's friendly reminder.
Since there are only 41 portraits in total, instead of the endless ones she had previously thought, she can study them all and perhaps make some unexpected discoveries.
Excluding those she had seen before, there were still some she hadn't observed, so she decided to start with the middle portrait.
Xia Linyin took down the portrait in the middle, looked at it, and then hung it back up, but she didn't hang it straight; she deliberately hung it crooked.
This way, she can easily see which portraits she has seen.
When Xia Linyin hung up the second portrait she had just taken, she glanced at the one she had just looked at, and then her pupils suddenly contracted!
The portrait that she had deliberately hung crookedly has somehow been straightened!
It seemed as if just a moment ago, an invisible ghostly hand silently moved the portrait, straightening the crooked image.
A chill ran up from the soles of her feet, and goosebumps rose on Xia Linyin's arms.
Without any further hesitation, Xia Linyin approached the portrait, raised her crescent blade, and was about to strike when the woman in the painting suddenly turned her head!
Xia Linyin never knew that her face could make such a terrifying expression.
A strange smile curved the corners of his lips, and tears of blood streamed from his eyes. The figure in the painting spoke in a low voice, "You cannot destroy the portrait."
"You will die, killed by the crescent blade!"
"I am you from the future!"
"I am you, the future ghost!"
Xia Linyin took a step back, frowning, and said, "You are me from the future? You mean... if I destroy the portrait, I will be trapped in an unsolvable cycle of reincarnation?"
Destroying the portrait is tantamount to killing her future self with a crescent blade, so her present self will also be killed by the crescent blade. After death, she will become a vengeful ghost trapped in the portrait, where she sees her past self appearing in the corridor, and thus she warns her past self.
The past self continues to destroy the portrait, becoming a ghost that enters the portrait to become the future self, and then she reappears in the corridor, repeating this cycle.
If the ghost in the painting is indeed her future self, then destroying the painting will trap her in an unsolvable and terrifying cycle, a vicious loop from which she can never escape.
“But if I do nothing, I will be trapped in this corridor forever,” Xia Linyin said.
The ghost grinned, "So, you must enter the portrait!"
After saying that, the ghost stopped talking.
