Soul Painter

War is coming?

What happened?

The last time Gao Fan paid attention to politics was a few months ago.

Later, after he made it clear that he was not interested, Lawrence stopped sending him news. In addition, Gao Fan did not read newspapers, did not watch TV, and naturally did not listen to the radio. Anna maintained the same pace of life, and the two painters Living in New York, one of the centers of the world, is like living in a closed cocoon.

In the drastic changes in the world situation, Gao Fan successfully put himself out of the way and competed with his brushes, oil paints and drawing boards in a small studio.

From Jessica's mouth, Gao Fan learned about the current situation. The most important piece of news was that the Polish government announced that it had joined the Russian Federation. In this way, the Russian Federation had expanded its territory of influence to the heartland of Europe.

Germany, France, Britain, and the beautiful country behind them began to sit still, and seriously studied the use of force. Similarly, these governments began to actively communicate with investigator organizations, and began to urge investigator organizations to solve the pollution of monk kings as soon as possible. .

Yes, the government is already very clear that the source of the unreasonable and rapid expansion of the territory of the Russian Federation is the Siamese monk king. This kind of expansion is a destructive invasion of the mysterious world on human society. If there is no corresponding force to resist, Human society may once again experience an all-out war.

"The monk king converted the heads of those countries?" Gao Fan asked.

"Yes." Jessica said.

In the October breeze in the forest green area behind the Metropolitan Museum, Gao Fan felt a bit of the smoke of war because of this answer.

"It's not that easy, is it?" Gao Fan asked with a frown.

"Before mysteriously polluting a country, it must first pollute the country's key pillars. Dealing with a full-scale S-level pollution source can drag the war to a year later, and it is already the result of countless investigators' hard work. Jessica sighed softly, "But as long as the monk king survives, war will always come."

"Three months ago, there was an attack on Monk King, didn't it take effect?" Gao Fan asked again.

"Not only did it not take effect, but the Angel of Power who launched the main attack was converted by the monk king and became her servant." Jessica shook her head, "The number of mysteries she has mastered has surpassed that of an A-level investigator, and the A-level investigator The soldiers have no way to coordinate attacks in a limited battlefield, and can only provide limited support to each other."

"How many investigators were involved in that attack?" Gao Fan asked.

"STK, Nine Angels, Gravediggers, and South 13th District, five A-level investigators, unprecedented power, but Monk King also found her helper, she has two guards who follow her everywhere and will not die, to protect her Undertook most of the attacks." Speaking of this, Jessica looked at Gao Fan.

"Boxing champions and veterans..." Gao Fan sighed softly.

Two souls made of mysterious paintings, and now their rituals belong to the relatives, and the ownership of the souls also belongs to the relatives.

"It is also the first time we know that the characters in your writing can exist in this world and possess such a powerful mystery." Jessica said.

"It's not because of me. I can't do that kind of thing. I can only depict human souls on paintings. It is the mystery of pro-mortals that makes them truly appear in the world." Gao Fan said.

"So, Qinfan is very concerned about you." Jessica said.

"Yeah." Gao Fan nodded, "So STK is starting to worry that Qinfan is going to attack me? She tried to kidnap me last year, but it just didn't work."

"She will try again." Jessica reminded Gao Fan, "So STK will arrange a trainee investigator to protect you."

"Lu pheasant?" Gao Fan asked.

"No, another investigator, the undead cat is still in MITT Village," Jessica said.

"Forget it, it's troublesome, I don't want to deal with strangers." Gao Fan shook his head.

"If Monk King gets your secret..." Jessica worried.

"I'll kill myself." Gao Fan said, and then he laughed again, "Just kidding, she can't get it, remember, I was cursed by the gods, and I can no longer use the technique that can draw human souls .”

"It turns out that the curse of the gods is this..." Jessica was always indifferent, but at this moment she frowned deeply because of the news, "Sorry, this news is very important, I have to study it with the president, goodbye."

After all, Jessica left in a hurry.

Gao Fan looked at her back and sighed.

...

Another month.

It's November.

Gao Fan has copied all Degas's works in the Metropolitan Museum.

almost a year.

Copying of one hundred and fifty works.

This huge number has already allowed Gao Fan to paint works that are completely in the style of Degas, lifelike, and the two are not bad.

But in the eyes of Anna or a real art connoisseur, there is no Degas charm, just a little bit, but it is not.

Gao Fan sat blankly in the studio, looking at the imitations piled up in the studio, while Anna stood behind him, both of them fell silent, God jumped onto Gao Fan's shoulder silently, and rubbed his head Touching Gao Fan's cheek.

Anna looked at Gao Fan worriedly. Even she wanted to say something to comfort Gao Fan, but she couldn't find the right words after searching. Her emotional logic and language system didn't have this part.

heh~

Gao Fan laughed.

Eleven months.

He has more than 200 basic skill points, but he can't comprehend a master skill that belongs to Degas.

Is this the difference between a mortal and a genius?

Or, am I not pushing myself to the limit?

"One more time..." Gao Fan said softly.

"What again?" Anna wondered.

"Copying 150 works, let's do it again~" Gao Fan looked at Anna.

Anna saw the madness in Gao Fan's eyes.

"Gao, that's meaningless." Anna said softly, "Maybe Degas's work skills are too unique and not suitable for you. Mr. Lu Guoying's 'Yuan Rong' is also a good master skill, even Da Vinci , Gauguin or even Van Gogh, you can try it.”

"No, I can feel Degas, I sit here, when I copy his works, I can imagine, I am Degas, I sit here, I look at the studio in front of me, as if looking at A dance studio, where some ballerinas dance lightly, and in my writing, they will gain eternal life..." Gao Fan stared at the empty studio in front of him, muttering to himself.

"It's not Degas, it has to be someone else. In this case, it's better to be Degas, I'm already very close..." Gao Fan looked at Anna and said softly. There was too much confusion and a little firmness in his eyes, and that firmness was like sparks , although weak, guided Gao Fan in despair.

"...that's fine." Anna was persuaded by Gao Fan, and it was easy to convince Anna. To some extent, Anna's character is a typical "If you are willing to die, I am willing to bury it", even To deal with Gao Fan, her god.

Anna said, "Here we go again, and I will be harder on you."

When Lawrence heard the news, he was going crazy.
