Paintings of Terror

Chapter 262: Ice

Fortunately, the interface remained silent and stayed that way until He Tang swam to the other side.

Can you hear us over there? Ke Xun shouted towards the other side. qCyriI

Yes! He Tangs voice sounded farther than the actual distance they could see, very faint but still audible.

Look into that hole toward the exit. Can you see anything? Ke Xun shouted.

He Tang turned her head to glance into the terrifyingly dark hole and shivered a few times. She shook her head towards Ke Xun, I cant see anything, its too dark!

Alright, then go change your clothes. Well turn around, and let us know when youre done. 4sLmhH

He Tang took off her soaking wet undershirt, put on the outer coat that was wrapped in Ke Xuns waterproof jacket and called out to them.

Ke Xun and Zhu Haowen turned around and exchanged a glance. Ke Xun said, Now lets try the method of freezing. Lets start.

Zhu Haowen nodded, waiting for Ke Xun to operate. However, he saw Ke Xun looking at him and said, You do it, you do it. I dont know the specifics of that law.

Zhu Haowen was speechless, feeling that this guy must be thinking about something else. Ignoring it for the time being, he opened his own interface. The book icon popped up with a dialogue box saying: Please state the content of the law you want to apply. SBoDdG

At standard atmospheric pressure, water freezes below zero degrees, Zhu Haowen said with uncertainty.

A line of text appeared below the dialogue box: Law accepted. Please go to the item box to choose the item you want to use.

Zhu Haowen opened the box-shaped icon, and a dialogue box also appeared. It said: Please state the name of the item you want to use.

Seeing Zhu Haowen taking no action, Ke Xun hurriedly asked, Whats wrong? He could see Zhu Haowens interface through his own. The interfaces of team members could be shared. s3SMam

Zhu Haowen turned to him, We overlooked an important issue. Rome wasnt built in a day. Regardless of what item we use, making this pool of unknown completely freeze would probably take a very long time. However, our time is limited, and the time flow in this painting is different from the real world. If time here is chaotic, then it might not be long before nighttime. If we cant get through the pool by then, death might be waiting for us.

Then just make one piece of ice, Ke Xun said. We dont need to freeze the entire pool; we just need enough ice to hold one person. This person can sit on the ice and paddle across.

Zhu Haowen couldnt help but admire Ke Xuns quick thinking. He then said to the dialogue box, Ice.

A line of text appeared in the dialogue box: Ice is a type of transport. This violates the rules and is not allowed. Obpzn2

Hey hey, ice is formed from freezing water. This is basically the same as using water. How is it a violation?! Ke Xun exclaimed in surprise. Moreover, this is entirely different from swimming. None of this goes against the requirements.
