Soul Painter

After the dog-faced priest lost half of his head, everything seemed to be terminated.

Above the abyss, the boiling, driven mist, like an engine that has lost power, slowly calms down.

At this moment, Lu Zhi saw that there was no memory in the brain of the dog-faced priest who had been cut in half, but a snow-white wriggling substance like maggots, which seemed to confirm the significance of the dog-faced priest. human attributes.

The inhuman dog-faced priest has extremely tenacious vitality, and with only half of his head left, he still has his last breath.

He muttered with half of his mouth: "...Avalida... Spencer..."

It was the devil's language, Lu Zhi couldn't understand what he was saying, and Gao Fan who could understand it was too far away to hear clearly.

But then, the dog-faced priest changed back to the human language, and he said: "...the great invisible lord, I can no longer serve you... Your curse is very effective, and there will be a new heir among my people in the end , become your favorite sacrifice...to draw a brand new image for you...to offer delicious sacrifices..."

Gao Fan heard this sentence.

The words 'A new heir among my people' struck him like lightning.

"What's your name!" Gao Fan suddenly shouted.

The dog-faced priest didn't hear it, or he didn't want to answer it.

"Ask his name!" Gao Fan said to Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi didn't know what Gao Fan wanted to ask, but she tried to believe Gao Fan. She saw that the fingers of the dog-faced priest had slowly left the rock wall and were about to fall into the abyss, while his other hand was still dead. Hold on to the "Invisible Secret Store".

"What's your name? Answer me! What's your name!" Lu Zhi grabbed the black trench coat worn by the dog-faced priest.

The dog-faced priest was originally huge, but because of repeatedly using the power of "Invisible Secrets", it shrank like a withered tree, and began to fall into the abyss.

At this moment, the dog-faced priest seemed to have finally heard Lu Zhi's question. He recalled the name he had used a hundred years ago, so he said, "My name is... Lin Daoqian."

Crash!

The black windbreaker worn by the dog-face priest was torn to shreds by Lu Zhi. He was too heavy, and his body might not be made of flesh and blood, but cement. Lu Zhi could pull Gao Fan, but he couldn't pull him, so he could only watch helplessly. After hitting the rock wall a few times, he tumbled and fell into the abyss.

Lu's pheasant began to climb on the rock wall. The terrifying slope of 70 degrees seemed not to be a problem for Lu's pheasant. She used both hands and feet, as dexterous as a cat, and quickly climbed onto the bridge. He even pulled Gao Fan up.

"It's over." Lu Zhi felt physically and mentally exhausted, and lay down on the bridge in disfigurement.

Um. Gao Fan was hesitant to say anything, his current SAN value is not high, but he also remembered the rule that Lu Zhi said 'the investigator cannot say that the incident is not over, otherwise the incident will never end', he is not crazy, nor will he intentionally court death.

Therefore, Gao Fan changed the term.

"I've seen the name Lin Daogan before." Gao Fan said, "It's at the entrance to the abyss, the one on the top of the ancestral tablet of the Lin family. He is the first generation ancestor of the Lin family on this continent."

Um? Lu Zhi stood up and sat up. She realized that Gao Fan had said an amazing truth, "You mean, this dog-faced priest is not a foreign race, but a human being."

"Yes, a human being who has gained immortality, a human being who should have lived a hundred years ago!" Gao Fan said immediately, "He is the ancestor of the Lin family. In the first painting, he escaped his father's last dinner and took a boat The ancestors of the Lin family who came to Tian County!"

"If obtaining eternal life is like this, forget it." Lu Zhi thought about the maggots boiling in Lin Daogen's brain after his skull was cut open, it was shocking.

Gao Fan shook his head again.

He was obviously simmering.

Seeing Lu's pheasant is also very uncomfortable.

"What do you want to say!" Lu Zhi asked.

"That's what you asked first, I didn't mean to be crowed~" Gao Fan found the same reason, and said the classic line, "I don't think the matter is over yet."

I fork! Lu Zhi wanted to slap himself.

"Why!" She asked angrily.

"Where are the maggots?" Gao Fan asked, "Where are the maggots who killed Lin Chengyi and captured Lin Senhao? The maggots should be Lin Daoqian's sacrifice to the invisible son, and they are also slaves he can command. Where did the maggots go?" ?”

"Assuming that the original work of "The Gates of Hell" is the key to Lin Daoqian driving the maggots, so we can't see the maggots at the moment, then the problem is coming. Since Lin Daoqian can no longer drive the maggots after losing the ceremony, then, in school Whose servant is the maggot man who attacked me, created panic in the cafeteria, and captured Lin Senhao? Where is he now?"

That's right.

Lu Zhi realized that there was indeed a big loophole in the incident.

Where is the maggot man?

If it wasn't Lin Daogan, then who?

"But the devil book of the invisible son has fallen into the abyss, and the invisible son should have no minions in this world..." Before Lu Zhi finished speaking, the two saw a strange scene.

They saw it, a long white shadow began to climb up from the side rock wall, if the movement of Lu's pheasant was like a civet, then the movement of this white shadow was like a fish falling into the sea .

Because he was originally a creature in the abyss.

A monster with long limbs and head in the shape of maggots appeared in front of Gao Fan and Lu Zhi. What is more noteworthy is the "Invisible Secret" in his petal-like mouthparts.

Maggots crawl in the abyss.

The squirming posture of his vigorously stretching limbs is a scene that humans only appear in nightmares.

In the thick fog, when you see the maggot man, it means that the maggot man is very close to Gao Fan and Lu Zhi.

The two were instantly shocked.

At the same time, they realized whether it was the maggot man who rescued Lin Daoqian, but they didn't. The maggot man clearly only had "Invisible Secret Collection" in his mouth.

boom!

The maggot man threw his body on the bridge so heavily, he climbed alternately on all fours, his petal-like mouthparts were raised high, and a combination of teeth with large traps and small circles could be seen inside, although he was biting the "Invisible Secret", it was inconvenient to attack , but when the maggot man rushed forward suddenly, he was in front of the two of them in an instant.

Whoosh!

Lu Zhi tried to step forward and attack, using a carving knife to cut the maggot man's mouthparts, but the maggot man made an unimaginable movement, he suddenly turned over, climbed to the back of the bridge, and disappeared completely in front of the two .

where? !

But the maggot man did not appear.

On the contrary, a figure suddenly appeared on the opposite bridge in the fog.

The figure staggered and ran, shouting as he ran, "Help! Help me!"

It's Lin Senhao.

When Lu Zhi heard Lin Senhao's voice, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He was a companion. No matter how many boring people other than investigators, they said that investigators have three treasures, one of which is "friends who can be used to throw monsters". The training Lu Zhi received was never to give up on any of her companions, so when Gao Fan was in danger, she would go all out to save him, and it is the same now.

"Wait, something is wrong." Gao Fan immediately grabbed Lu Zhi.

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhi didn't understand why.

Of course, Gao Fan couldn't say that even though Lin Daogan, the dog-faced priest, had been thrown into the abyss, the task assigned to him by the system had not yet been completed.

As described in "The Invisible Secret Collection", the sacrifice of the Invisible Son cannot exist independently of the sacrifice, just like a slave cannot do without its master.

Therefore, Gao Fan simply deduced that since the maggot man still exists and the task has not been completed, there may be another priest in this abyss.

"Remember the wound on Lin Chengyi's neck?" Gao Fan asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Lu Zhi didn't know what Gao Fan wanted to express, she just looked at Lin Senhao who was rushing from the thick fog, trying to meet him.

"It wasn't Lin Daoqian's bite! The wound made by Lin Daoqian's bite is not like that, it was bitten by a maggot man! At that time, Lin Daoqian had no rituals, and he could no longer control the maggot man!" When the mouthparts of the maggot man were all over the place, he suddenly thought about the key.

ah? Lu Zhi stopped to meet Lin Senhao's footsteps.

"Lin Chengyi took away the ritual and the demon book from the old house of the Lin family. He may have sacrificed to the invisible son to obtain eternal life, and the first sacrifice to the invisible son must be blood relatives!" Gao Fan said again, there are many clues At this moment, they are all connected, and the skill value of 'investigation' has quietly increased by 1 point.

"Lin Chengyi donated "The Gates of Hell" probably because he couldn't bear to kill his son, but what he didn't expect was that his son was more ruthless than him, and he shot him first and killed him!" Gao Fan said again.

After realizing who Gao Fan said the "son of Lin Chengyi" was, Lu Zhi suddenly turned his head, with an unbelievable look of astonishment in his eyes.

"...that's impossible!" she cried.

"After the "Gate of Hell" was burned that morning, Lin Daoqian had lost the ability to control the maggots, but who manipulated the maggots who attacked the school cafeteria at night?" Gao Fan said, "There is a person who understands demon literature, If you can get the demon book, you can make another ritual to sacrifice and control the maggots."

"Of course, there is one thing that I am very puzzled about. Before the original "Gate of Hell" was burned down, what was he going to do when he sent the maggot man to the studio that morning? What was he going to set on fire?"

Lu Zhi could hear Gao Fan's words, and Lin Senhao, who was stumbling over the bridge, could also hear him.

As a result, his steps were no longer staggering, and his expression was no longer flustered. His indifferent face appeared in the thick fog.

Facing Gao Fan's question, he stood silently for a while, and finally answered softly.

"I want to burn your painting. When I saw you finished it, I knew it was a work that I couldn't surpass." Lin Senhao said, and then there was a mocking expression on his face, "Now that I think about it, How ridiculous, I used the Lord's gift to fight for a stupid exhibitor's spot."

"In this world, only the Lord's gift is everything. All the wealth, honor and rights, and everything that human beings pursue is so ridiculous!" Lin Senhao repeated, his tone was full of suppressed fanaticism. , his figure walking in the thick fog is like a demon.
