Soul Painter

Police cars, firefighters, and ambulances were parked outside the school cafeteria.

In fact, in this incident, Guo Henry was the one who was injured the most. The others were fine. At most, there were a few tinnitus and a few twisted feet. As for everyone, they said that they were not in a good state of mind. At that time, the doctor didn't care.

Because the doctor can't see the SAN value that these people drop.

Although Gao Fan couldn't see it, he could feel it. The scene just now was like a collective hell. He had heard that the army would bomb the camp before. The cafeteria bombed the camp just now. If Henry Guo didn't stop it in time, the entire school might be destroyed. All bombed.

If the bombing continues, maybe this school will become a huge mental hospital.

What exactly is this?

From that painting?

To myself who burned that painting.

And then to the collective nightmare in the cafeteria today.

What the hell am I getting involved in?

Gao Fan was wearing a blanket given by the nurse, sitting on a flower bed outside the cafeteria, recalling everything he had experienced.

The 'investigation' did not give him an answer.

It must be the reason why the skill value is not high enough.

At this time Gao Fan saw Lin Senhao.

"Here." Gao Fan waved to Lin Senhao.

Lin Senhao walked over.

"What did you see when you chased him out just now?" Gao Fan asked him.

"I didn't catch anything." Lin Senhao shook his head.

"It's so brave!" Gao Fan raised his thumb in praise.

Lin Senhao smiled uncomfortably.

At this time, Gao Fan watched a nurse help Henry Guo, who was wrapped in a bandage and blindfolded, into the ambulance. He couldn't help sighing. What could be more depressing than being misunderstood by a deaf and blind man? You can't explain it.

That STK headquarters will come to make trouble again.

At this time, Gao Fan looked at a new task that appeared in his system menu.

‘Investigate the origin of the inferior race who invaded the school. '

'Reward: 15 SAN points. '

Even if the system doesn't mention it, Gao Fan still wants to investigate.

If booked myself able to complete the task.

You will get this 15 points of SAN value.

Gao Fan felt that he could consume some of them first, which is the so-called 'advance consumption'.

"In the future, my drawing skills will get better and better, and I will get more and more Sanity points, so the sanity points that seem precious now will continue to depreciate in the future. If this is the case, it's no big deal to spend them in advance..."

Like all urban men and women who have fallen into the trap of consumerism, Gao Fan comforted himself.

He needs more 'investigation' skills, because his 'investigation' skills just now can't see the truth of the existence of maggots at all. If the 'investigation' skills are high enough, maybe he won't be confused by the delusions. This is very important to Gao Fan who was involved in the mysterious incident.

A second ago, his SAN was 80/0.

A second later, it became 76/0.

And the skill value of 'investigation' changed from 16 to 20.

After the skill value reached '20', 'investigation' could no longer be improved. This single item was not related to the three major items of painters. Gao Fan didn't know what was restricting its improvement.

After the SAN value fell below 80, Gao Fan heard a low background noise again.

It was noisy outside the canteen, full of busy policemen, firefighters and nurses. The reason why the firefighters came was because the canteen caught fire. The scene attracted more students to watch.

The teachers are dispersing the crowd of students, the doctors are inspecting the injured, the firefighters are carrying water pipes in and out... All these can be called the fireworks in the world, but here they are just appearances. Those low whispers that never die.

They are so far away and real, as if there are countless pairs of eyes staring at the world, compared with which human beings are so small and even ridiculous, all the grand miracles of modern civilization are like sand castles built by ants on the beach ...

No... don't think about it.

Gao Fan shook his head vigorously to get rid of this so-called thinking about the truth of the world.

That is useless.

He drew his attention back to the events of the past few days.

The skill value of 'investigation' has been raised to 20, and Gao Fan's logical thinking has been greatly improved. Soon, a key point emerged.

that picture.

The painting called "The Gates of Hell".

Obviously it's the key.

The maggot man seen in the cafeteria today is very similar to the figure climbing the abyss cliff in the painting.

And another key point, the 'Gao Fan' who was suspected by STK, also came into STK's sight because of the burning of the painting.

So... the investigation should start with this painting.

The reward this time is only 15 SAN points, and no other 'skills' are rewarded. The system should have internal logic, which may prove that the task is very simple.

'Investigate the origin'.

It should be as long as you find the source of this 'lower race', such as the name.

Since there are lower races, there may also be upper races, and since they are called races, it means... Are they a different race from humans?

Gao Fan was a little surprised by the conclusions returned by the 'investigation', but he took it for granted.

At least in the world environment he knew, no race was like maggots, except maggots.

In other words, the focus of this mission is to obtain the corresponding information.

Gao Fan remembered that in the introduction of "The Gates of Hell", it was written that it was from an old house in this city, so let's check it from here.

While planning, suddenly a policeman walked up to Gao Fan.

"Gao Fan?" the policeman asked.

Gao Fan nodded.

"Please come back with us and assist in the investigation," the policeman said.

"Huh? It's just me?" Gao Fan looked left and right. The whole cafeteria was very lively. Dozens of students and cafeteria staff gathered here. Everyone was released after a simple questioning by the police.

"Yes, only you," said the policeman.

"This classmate attacked bravely just now and almost chased the weird person who caused the riot. Doesn't he need to follow?" Gao Fan pointed to Lin Senhao and asked.

"I have already questioned this classmate Lin just now, there is no such need." The policeman replied.

"That classmate was the first to rush out of the cafeteria, and even stepped on another classmate's leg. Don't you need to assist in the investigation?" Gao Fan asked again.

"It was just an accident. No one wanted it. It was unnecessary." The policeman replied.

"That canteen employee over there knocked over the stove and caused a fire, so there's no need to go back and assist in the investigation?" Gao Fan continued to ask.

"Also..." The policeman was speechless for a moment, but he wanted to ask, is it because of this moment that you remember everyone's actions so clearly?

But that's right, Gao Fan, who just stood there from beginning to end throughout the incident, why was he brought back to the police station to assist in the investigation?

He didn't understand the instructions from STK either!

"In short, please fulfill your obligations as a citizen and cooperate with us to go back and investigate." The police said.

"Okay." Gao Fan nodded, "Do you mind if I record and video the whole process?"

"You..." The policeman was taken aback.

"The video and audio just now have been sent to my tutor. If anything happens to me, this video will be used as the final evidence and posted on the Internet." Gao Fan took out his mobile phone in his jacket pocket and said to him The police said seriously.

Do you think the police station is a den of bandits? ! The police had nothing to say.
