Soul Painter

Chapter 5: Twenty-fourth person

   After chatting with the old man, Gao Fan just drew a few strokes after saying goodbye to the old man, only to see a few policemen coming over and passing in front of him.

   Reminiscent of the police car outside the exhibition hall, Gao Fan's mind passed a ‘is it an accident’ guess.

   As expected, within a few minutes.

   There are pavilion personnel standing in the center of the exhibition hall, announcing to everyone that the Centennial Art Achievement Exhibition is closed ahead of schedule.

   "Does it end early today?" someone asked.

   "No, it's officially over." The staff of the pavilion replied, "Thank you for coming and appreciating. Please watch the official account of this pavilion. We will hold various art exhibitions in the near future, so stay tuned."

Oh……

   Everyone is very disappointed.

  Of course, the original exhibition was about to end, only one day in advance, the disappointment was not serious.

   "Have you heard? Something happened."

   While Gao Fan was finishing his easel, two classmates passed by him and whispered.

   "I just heard a security guard say that his colleague was missing. The police adjusted the surveillance and found that there was an accident in the exhibition hall. It seemed that it was still a homicide, so the exhibition was closed early."

   Gao Fan heard it in his ears and looked around the exhibition hall. Since it is an art exhibition, there are not many security guards. There are usually only five. Every Gao Fan recognizes him. After all, he is an art student and is accustomed to observing the looks of people around him.

   There are really only four security guards today. The lesser one, Gao Fan also has the impression. Gao Fan thought he asked for leave, but it turned out to be... missing?

   Security is also a high-risk profession, Gao Fan thought, but didn't care too much.

   While he was putting up his easel, he looked a little bit reluctant to look at the "Gate of Hell".

   In the future, I can see this kind of normal oil painting that can reduce the SAN value. I don’t know about the year of the monkey.

   The fifty small paintings he copied, and the unfinished panorama at hand, are at best only 20% of the original, and there is no effect of reducing the SAN value at all.

With a sanity value of 76, Gao Fan stared at this "Gate of Hell", and suddenly the thought of'or I grab it and run' came up, but he quickly extinguished this idea in a budding state, kidding, now But the legal society.

   One last look...

Gao Fan stared at this masterpiece that no one knew, his eyes were like examining a naked, stunning beauty, scanning the past inch by inch. This masterpiece of Chinese and Western integration, he can be said to be very familiar, but very quickly, a The details made him rub his eyes.

Ok?

   Am I dazzled?

   Gao Fan blinked his eyes and looked again.

   One, two, three...twenty-three...twenty-four? !

   In the screen of "Hell's Gate", under the dark red sky and on the ocher-blue cliff, there should be only 23 human beings who are about to fall into the bottomless abyss. At this moment, Gao Fan counted the twenty-fourth!

This is impossible!

   Gao Fan counted again.

But the twenty-fourth person, clearly and truly, climbed to the highest point of the cliff—Gao Fan painted small pictures for the 23 cliff fallers, so he knew where everyone was and was easy to distinguish. Out, the location of the twenty-fourth person.

The twenty-fourth person seemed to fall off the cliff last, so his position was only three or four people high from the top of the cliff, but the cliff was extremely smooth, and the ocher blue painted a smooth texture like iron No way to climb.

   While the twenty-fourth man raised his head to the sky, the despair on his face seemed to be gushing out from his wide open mouth.

   Gao Fan stared at the twenty-fourth man’s face, subconsciously drawing his portrait on the sketchbook. With a few simple strokes, he sketched a face with northern characteristics, with high cheekbones, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

   I look familiar...

   Seems to be the missing security guard?

Gao Fan recalled that the day before he awakened the system, the dog face man standing behind him. When the dog face man ran away in a hurry, he ran into a security guard. The security guard painted this one now. This memory makes Gao Fan shook his head.

   Looking at this painting again, Gao Fan's eyes are already panicked.

   At this moment, there seemed to be a distant, low bark neighing in Gao Fan's ear.

  Crazy, hoarse...

   A layer of invisible black fog enveloped this corner of the exhibition hall.

   It makes this corner a kind of boiling mystery.

   Every particle in the air is howling.

   so that Gao Fan gradually heard what the barking was trying to convey.

   "... Stretch your torso and climb towards the abyss, you will gain immortality..."

At this moment, this pair of "Gates of Hell" has a strange appearance in Gao Fan's eyes. Every human figure climbing on the cliff seems to be stretching their torso and climbing under the cliff, while their torso stretches. It's so long, like one maggot after another.

  No no no...

   Gao Fan instinctively wanted to retreat. He realized that he was bewitched, but he didn't know where the bewitching came from. Is this painting really magical? Is this kind of magic acting on him?

   The twenty-fourth figure, is it the security guard, is it also bewitched and turned into the desperate figure in the painting?

How can    Keren climb into the painting!

   Gao Fan tried to struggle, but like a nightmare, he stared directly at the painting, as if stuck, unable to get rid of it.

   He didn't know what would happen next, but realized that it was definitely not a good thing.

  Because of the posture of the people in the painting, it has become more and more vivid and weird.

   Everyone not only stretches their limbs, but also twists their head and neck to an angle that is less human-like.

   is like watching the gradually moving image on the subway window in the subway.

The pictures in Gao Fan’s eyes changed from slow to faster frame by frame. He suddenly realized that the terrible posture of these cliff-fallers was an exaggeration of art, but in this “dynamic” picture, he found that it was not Exaggeration, but it's the... posture of these people.

  唿!

In the painting, a person turned his head abruptly, his twisted neck reached a terrifying degree of 180 degrees, and the flesh and blood on his face was pulled off to one side, and there seemed to be a giant worm in his body. Out of the shell.

   Gao Fan was buzzing with a heavy hammer. He knew that this was a sign of loss of SAN~www.novelmt.com~ Attention: the host has come into contact with the lower races! Sanity is polluted! "

   At this time, an inorganic voice suddenly sounded.

The voice of    immediately recalled Gao Fan's autonomy. With a gesture of ‘twisting’ his vision, he violently moved his eyes away from the painting.

   Gao Fan stepped back and started to gasp.

   At this moment, the corner of the exhibition hall became clear again, and the weird black fog seemed to have never been here.

   And everything just now seemed to be an illusion of Gao Fan, but he swears that he did hear the phrase ‘stretch your torso and climb towards the abyss, you will gain eternal life’.

   What the **** is hiding in this painting!

   And... system.

   Gao Fan was sure that he heard the sound of the system, and only then awoke from the terrifying situation like a nightmare.

   He turned on the system, and suddenly realized that his SAN value, which was originally not much, had dropped by two points and became ‘74/0’.

   This makes Gao Fan's original inadequate reason even worse.

   If you are controlled by that painting for a while, the SAN value will drop even more.

   On the system interface, there is an extra flashing text.

  ’Task: Reproduce this painting perfectly! ’

   The system actually sent a task.

   At the same time, there are rewards for tasks.

   Gao Fan looked at the rewards below the task, and couldn't help swallowing, because it was a bit attractive.

  ’Reward: 1. SAN worth 25 points; 2. "Introduction to Anatomy". ’

At this time, security had already begun to drive away the people who were still stranded in the exhibition hall. Gao Fan was driven out. Looking at the dazzling sun outside the exhibition hall, Gao Fan was dizzy, and he felt as if he had stepped into one. Mysterious and unknown world.
