Soul Painter

Seeing the citizens of Paris embrace Hatshepsut on a white horse, put on royal robes for her, and even get a crown from nowhere to put on her head, Gao Fan seemed to be in a dream. As for this The girl who just came from the Egyptian countryside was even more psychedelic and puzzled.

After she got on the white horse, she glanced at Wu Haoxue and the great detective Victor, and then she left surrounded by Parisians, looking at the direction, heading for the Palace of Fontainebleau.

"Where are you taking her?" Victor asked those Parisians curiously.

"She is our queen, and our king is waiting for her." A citizen replied.

"Who is the king?" Vidok asked again.

"The king's name is Flame of the East." Someone replied.

Why? flame? live flame? Gao Fan suddenly felt that this name touched his inspiration.

"This is really a legend. The country girl we brought has become the queen of Paris." The great detective Victor was surprised, which was rare in his legendary life.

Gao Fan was also about to comment on this.

Suddenly, I felt something vibrating in my pocket. .

Surprised, he took it out and saw that it was a mobile phone.

look around.

Paris in the 20th century was also considered to be full of tall buildings, but of course there were no signal towers, so how did the mobile phone signal come through? Even stranger, of course, is how the phone ended up in his pocket.

But the '' symbol on the phone screen is explaining why the incoming call is so powerful.

"Miss operator?" Gao Fan answered the phone.

"Mr. Painter, you only have 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, Paris where you are located will be destroyed by a fire, but don't worry, only you will be burned to death, and everyone else will be safe." The operator said.

"This news really makes me unhappy..." Gao Fan frowned, and immediately realized that something happened to the "Paris" he had just drawn. Since the lady operator informed him like this, it proved that this incident was inevitable, but ...

"Where are Mr. Vidok and Wu studious?" Gao Fan asked.

"If they're still in the picture, they'll die, and if they're not in the picture, they'll be fine," the operator replied.

Then are they in the painting or not... Gao Fan glanced at the great detectives Vidok and Wu Haoxue, and he knew that what the operator meant was whether the souls of these two people had obtained a strong enough mystery in 1920 The link can maintain its soul independent of the oil painting.

And this answer is probably quite cruel.

"So in these 30 minutes, you have to bring back the characteristics of the eternal wizard." The operator said, "That is our greatest loot, and it will determine the direction of future wars."

Traits of the Eternal Sorcerer...

30 minutes……

Gao Fan looked at the huge city of Paris in 1920 and fell into deep thought.

"You seem to need my help?" asked the big detective Vidok.

"Well, yes, but, I'm sorry, you... well, you are going to die soon." Gao Fan said to him, "In my world, there should be a bastard who wants to burn the painting with your soul, There is a high probability that Wu Haoxue will be fine, and you may die."

Wu Haoxue should have found a mysterious link with 1920. He wears the oriental sword to prove this, but the current detective Victor is still the same as when he left Paris. So Gao Fan felt that there was a high probability that Vidok would die.

This time it was real death.

"That's such a pity..." Vidok took a puff from his pipe, and he looked at the city, "This Paris city is completely different from what I remember, and I thought I could have a more exciting life here However, since death is inevitable, I can at least do what I can, tell me, how do you need me to help you?"

"I need to find a trait, I guess it's a big mouse or something." Gao Fan said.

...

20 minutes later.

Detective Vidock relies on his familiarity with the streets and alleys of Paris—although the city of Paris is quite different from his memory, the language, customs, and pickpockets who like to linger in dark alleys always have something in common. of the place.

Under the guidance of the great detective Vidok, Gao Fan found the rat that had been crushed into meatloaf. Its body was in the garbage truck of the city cleaners. stuff.

Hmm... Gao Fan frowned looking at this mess.

Kind of disgusting.

Also, the Eternal Wizard just died? Gao Fan thought he would have to go through some fighting, but he only saw the corpse, which seemed to be pressed to death. As for who was pressed to death, Gao Fan could guess from the faint dents on the flesh pads and claws on the mouse's corpse. The scene where he was crushed to death by the paw of the secret cat.

Or there is fighting.

Although an existence like the Eternal Wizard is called a demon, he is also called a servant, but he is neither a real demon nor a real servant. Compared with the servant of the "great existence: elk cat" like the secret cat, Than, isn't it really so weak that it's like a mouse meets a cat?

Gao Tong sighed a little, and then looked at the time, now, the time is almost up.

He looked at Vidok.

The great detective, who was already dead, but whose soul was awakened again because of Gao Fan, took off his hat and bowed to him: "Thank you for waking me up from death. I have gone through a very interesting journey."

"It's a pity that I can't let you live." Gao Fan sighed, thinking of this, his teeth itch again, "The enmity for burning paintings is irreconcilable, wait for me to go back!"

As for who burned the painting, although the operator didn't remind him, Gao Fan could guess it pretty well. Besides the bastard Angel of Time, who else could it be? !

The flames began to swirl.

The fire is like a parting.

Isolated between Gao Fan and Wu Haoxue.

The great detective Vidok, with a smile, disappeared into the flames first. Behind him was the burning city of Paris. Although it seemed that Paris was burning, what actually burned were the souls of several people and their lives. world in the picture.

This magical painting that connected the 20th century was burned like this.

This fire will also burn off all connections between Gao Fan and Wu Haoxue.

"Student Wu, you have to find a way!" Through the flames, Gao Fan yelled at Wu Haoxue, "I want to learn from Lin Senhao, he is loyal, he was thrown into 1920 and he was able to find a way to come back, and even created the world's largest Investigator organization, you have to work hard too!"

"Teacher, I remember, I will come back..."

The flames burned fiercely and burned everything, including Wu Haoxue's figure.

The world is destroyed, everything is reduced to ashes.

And Gao Fan became the only person who witnessed the burning fire.

At this moment.

A fluttering butterfly appeared in front of Gao Fan.

Gao Fan stared at the shadow of the butterfly.

Suddenly, he returned to the ultimate human spirit where the sky is like a net and the ground is like a chessboard.

From this perspective, he has a better understanding of what destruction is.

It is not the fire that is burning the world.

Rather, the chaos of all ashes is withering the world.

With the passing of Vidok, the last and only pillar of the soul, that world collapsed into chaos, all order was shattered here, there is no distinction between time, matter and spirit, and all existences are distorted together, like a deformed cosmic monster fetal.
