Soul Painter

When Lin Senhao came back with the original Tianshi local chronicles.

Seeing Gao Fan and Lu Zhi sitting side by side on the sofa, with their hands on their knees neatly, like two elementary school students, they couldn't help laughing: "Crazy, Lu Zhi, don't be restrained, just treat yourself like your own home. I live with my father, and usually no one comes."

The two smiled cutely. Lin Senhao came to them and put a dozen books in his hands on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Local chronicles are generally a series of books, which record the major events and minor events in the local area since they were recorded. Since they have been written for many generations and are constantly being added, it is really difficult to read without revision.

However, Gao Fan's thoughts are no longer on this set of books.

The task given to Gao Fan by the system to 'investigate the inferior races that invaded the school' has been completed, and then another task appeared. It seems that this is a continuous task.

Task: Drive the minions of the invisible son to the abyss.

Rewards: 1. SAN value 45 points; 2. Three invisible curses; 3. Mystery 3 points.

Needless to say, the 45-point SAN value is the highest reward ever.

The invisible curse should be a command spell, according to what Lu Zhi said, it is very rare.

In addition, there is 'occultism'.

This is a new skill. When the system rewarded 'Anatomy', 'Psychology' and 'Investigation' before, it directly rewarded 'Getting Started', that is, 10 skill points, but now it only has 3 points.

It shows that mysticism should be a difficult subject.

It can also be seen that this task is at least five or ten times more difficult than the previous one.

And the name 'Son of the Invisible', in connection with the 'Son of the Invisible' that allowed Gao Fan to complete the task, made Gao Fan realize that the name of the lower race should most likely be the 'Son of the Invisible'.

At the same time, return to the abyss?

This reminded Gao Fan of the terrible abyss in the painting "The Gates of Hell".

Although the existence of the abyss is not depicted in the painting, all the despair and fear come from the abyss.

Returning to the abyss means... Throwing certain existences into it?

When Gao Fan was full of thoughts, Lu Zhi was still flipping through the local chronicles.

Soon, Lu Zhi found the target.

"...On the eighteenth day of the fourth month of the Wuwu year, the house was completed, and the whole city was moved, marveling at its magnificence... In April of the following year, when King Zhu Rong came to visit, the owner spent hundreds of dollars of gold to buy strange stones to rebuild it... On the day of completion, The day is full of charm, people dare not approach..."

Lu Zhi found the original text and read it out.

Gao Fan concentrated his energy and went to read the local chronicles. The system only told him that the name of this lower race was 'Son of the Invisible'.

And as long as you turn one page forward, you can see the owner of this mansion.

"At the beginning of the Wuwu year, there was Lin Yishi, who came from the ocean, carrying a hundred buckets of pearls, a hundred gold carts, silks, satins and silks, countless..." Lu Zhi read, and at the same time glanced at Gao Fan.

Gao Fan nodded slightly.

"Lin's? The year of Wuwu? You mean my family's ancestor?" Lin Senhao said over there.

Sure enough... Although Gao Fan and Lu Zhi have different information content, Gao Fan passed the system certification, and Lu Zhi may be because of the devil text, the two judged by coincidence that the old house that produced the painting "The Gate of Hell" It should be owned by Lin.

With Lin Senhao's confirmation at this moment, this mystery has been completely solved.

"Your family has a long history, almost a hundred years old." Lu Zhi said, and then changed the subject, "There must be a lot of cultural relics, such as books and oil paintings. Are there any left now? Show us one time."

"Most of them are gone. At that time, there was a war and a large number were destroyed. Later, my father sold the remaining part in order to revive the family business. Now there is only one old house left. I visited it when I was a child. It's all empty." Lin Senhao said.

"Old house? Is this the one recorded in the local chronicles?" Gao Fan asked.

"Yes, the location is in the west, very remote, we only go there once during the New Year's festival, as a ancestral temple or something, the family members are not prosperous, and the New Year is not lively." Lin Senhao said.

Gao Fan and Lu Zhi looked at each other, assuming that "The Gate of Hell" is the key to everything, then in the Lin family, the person who is doubtful is Lin Senhao's father, Lin Chengyi.

Tap, tap.

Footsteps sounded on the stairs.

Lin Senhao stood up, looked over there, and said to Gao Fan and Lu Zhi at the same time, "My father is here."

Thinking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

Of course, it is normal to meet Lin Chengyi at the Lin family.

Lin Chengyi is an elegant middle-aged man. His appearance and temperament are the mature version of Lin Senhao with enhanced charm. His slightly gray temples and calm demeanor all exude a heart-wrenching aura.

After a few simple exchanges, even facing his son's classmates, Lin Chengyi's tone made people feel like a spring breeze. After Lin Chengyi returned to the study, Lu Zhi couldn't help but say "so handsome".

Gao Fan and Lin Senhao looked at each other. Although Lin Chengyi was very personable, he was old enough to be Lu Zhi's father. This kind of evaluation is really fascinating.

Next, with Lin Senhao’s permission, Gao Fan and Lu Zhi began to take pictures of the local chronicles with their mobile phones, waiting to go back and study them. Lin Senhao also apologized and said that the original editions of these local chronicles are fragile and difficult to carry, otherwise they would have to lend them. OK.

Another hour or so later, when Gao Fan and Lu Zhi were about to say goodbye, the filming and recording work was over.

suddenly……

boom!

The sound of a hammer hitting the ground came from upstairs.

Um?

The three of them were taken aback for a moment, and when they looked up, they saw the chandelier shaking on the ceiling and a few wisps of dust falling down.

This is……

"ah!"

Another scream came down from the second floor.

All three were stunned.

Lu's pheasant reacted the fastest. First, he supported himself with one hand, leaped over the sofa, and came to the corner of the downward stairs on the second floor. He climbed up, followed by a pull-up. Walking vigorously, it disappeared at the corner of the second floor in a blink of an eye.

At this time, Gao Fan and Lin Senhao ran to the stairs.

thump thump!

Lin Senhao also passed Gao Fan, and ran to the second floor with a panicked expression.

Before Gao Fan reached the second floor, he heard Lin Senhao's scream: "Dad! Dad!"

Lin Senhao's cry was so miserable that Gao Fan had a bad premonition. He quickened his pace and ran upstairs. Inside the open study door, Lin Senhao was kneeling, and Lin Chengyi was lying on the ground, motionless, with a slap on his neck. There was a terrifying gap, and only a trace of flesh was left hanging from the head. He was lying there crookedly, and a large amount of blood, like a river in an embankment, covered the entire study.

Seeing his son, Lin Chengyi tried his best to move, but his trachea was bitten off, and he couldn't make a sound, only the muffled roar of "ho ho". the light of man.

"Don't run!" Lu Zhi shouted again.

Gao Fan also noticed that the person opposite Lu Zhi, wearing a black windbreaker and a round black hat, was tall and silent, like an abrupt mountain, running away. The man's back.

The man in the black hat staggered, the hat fell off, and Gao Fan saw his face: teeth protruding, jaw receding, eyes like cold topaz.

It's like a dog becoming a spirit, which is extremely frightening.

Gao Fan had seen him at the Centennial Art Exhibition!

"Go away!" The dog-faced man growled at Lu Zhi, and punched her again.

"Want to run after killing someone?" Lu Zhi wiped his hands on his waist, and there were two butterfly knives in his palms.

The two approached quickly, the dog-faced man punched, and Lu Zhi, with amazing dexterity, lowered his body in an instant, letting the dog-faced man's fist blow over her head, blowing away a large piece of hair, while the butterfly knife in her hand , has been nailed to the lower abdomen of the dog-faced man.

The blade of the knife sank into the dog-faced man's body, leaving only the handle. An ordinary person should have blood splashed on the spot, but the dog-faced man's skin was made of strange rubber. Not only did no blood spurt out, it was even slowly healing.

Not human.

But the self-healing wound of the dog-faced man was like a burning tire, exuding a strange heat. It seemed that Lu Zhi's butterfly knife also had a strange magic power. This heat made the dog-faced man very painful.

Ow!

He cried out in pain.

"It's with you! I won't let you go!"

Then, he turned sharply and slammed into the glass window.

Crash! The glass scattered, and the dog-faced man's tall body shattered the entire floor-to-ceiling glass, and fell to the ground with a 'bang', which was equivalent to the height of the third floor. Just disappeared into the night.

Lu Zhi wanted to chase after him, but when he looked down from the window, there was no sign of the dog-faced man, so he could only give up resentfully.

At this time, Lin Senhao was screaming heartbreakingly: "Call an ambulance!"

Probably... it's hopeless.

Gao Fan looked at Lin Chengyi's neck that had completely disappeared, felt horrified, and sighed quietly.

half an hour later.

Police and ambulances surrounded the Lin family.

The doctor announced Lin Chengyi's death on the spot.

Lin Senhao almost fainted from crying.

Gao Fan and Lu Zhi, after finishing their records with the police, came to Lin Senhao's side, not knowing how to comfort him.

"...I want revenge!" Lin Senhao suddenly said.

"Leave the matter to the police." Gao Fan advised him, "The law will severely punish the murderer."

"The murderer is not human at all!" Lin Senhao's eyes were bloodshot, and he yelled, "No one will grow up like that! What is that!"

"I saw this dog-faced man at the Centennial Achievement Exhibition." Gao Fan said.

ah? Lin Senhao looked at Gao Fan fiercely.

"I will submit all these evidences to the police, hoping that the police will solve the case soon." Gao Fan added.

"Wait!" Lin Senhao grabbed Gao Fan's shoulder, "You must know more, please, tell me what's going on!"

Gao Fan probably knew as much as Lin Senhao.

"Actually, you may hold the truth in your hands." Lu Zhi suddenly said to Lin Senhao, "The truth is in a book."

This chapter has been revised.
