Soul Painter

Managed the management of each floor.

Gao Fan was finally able to quietly carry out his beloved job.

That is painting.

As long as Gao Fan enters the world in the box, he cannot see his system menu, but the change in painting level is obvious, not only because of the sacrifice of 'distortion' and 'world' but also 'occultism', these skills actually It doesn't work on World in a Box either.

The most important thing is that Gao Fan can't understand his own paintings now.

...

"Boss, can I sit like this?" A patient sat on a round stool, while Gao Fan stood behind the drawing board.

Um. Gao Fan nodded, and laid the foundation on the drawing board with a solemn expression.

Ever since he mastered the 'Yingbai Painting Method', Gao Fan seldom made a base for his paintings, and Anna did the same, because the painting skills of both of them are already very high, very high, as high as several floors, and those basic skills are It has been integrated into the bone marrow, the eyes are the scalpel, the hands are the measuring ruler, and the structural skills such as decomposition, layering and grading are easy to come by.

Now Gao Fan is making a new foundation, because he feels a little uneasy.

"Building Chief, I think this is disrespect for you. You see, I am sitting and you are standing. This is so disrespectful. It makes me very disturbed..." the model who was used as the patient chattered talk.

But Gao Fan ignored him in a muffled voice, just daubed on the drawing board with a pencil, and soon the structure on the drawing was complete. It was a portrait, and it was a very characteristic portrait: He has short hair, an eagle nose, a pointed chin, a broad forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a pair of eyes full of sincerity.

Very similar, still full of demonic style.

Then Gao Fan began to color the painting. In order to ensure no accidents, he used his most mature style period to color the painting, which is the post-modern style of "Bostonians". At that time, he liked to use a lot of red, these shades Different shades of red are used to paint the background, paint the cheeks, paint the eyes, paint everything.

Because the techniques and skills are very familiar, the creation speed is very fast. In about two hours, the painting has been basically completed.

While the model was still chattering, Gao Fan had already ignored what he was saying, but felt that the flapping of his mouth seemed to be the propeller of a helicopter, with dazzling light and shadow residues.

"Come on, shut your mouth and enjoy this painting!" Gao Fan waved to the patient.

"This is my honor~" The patient stood up and walked to the oil painting.

Gao Fan watched this scene very nervously. When the patient stood in front of the oil painting, Gao Fan's breathing became tense. In the next second, everything changed like countless times before.

"Hmm... very similar?" The patient stood in front of the painting with his arms around his shoulders, and looked at Gao Fan as if he didn't know how to evaluate it. At this moment, Gao Fan also saw the content of the painting clearly.

Very bad.

A large expanse of miserable red was randomly smeared.

It is not so much a portrait as a piece of smashed mud.

Grass!

Gao Fan dropped the paintbrush in his hand.

Again?

Every time Gao Fan creates a good work with confidence, it will immediately become an extremely bad and clumsy work, not abstract, not postmodernism, although Picasso and Dali will also draw puzzling works , but their unique style is obvious, while Gao Fan's paintings at the moment can only be said to be the kind of clumsiness with no basic skills and random smearing.

"Building Chief, you don't have to be too sad. Although your drawing is so flawed, I believe you will improve..." The patient began to comfort Gao Fan.

Gao Fan swung the drawing board in his hand and threw it at him, yelling angrily, "Get out!"

The patient left the building chief's office in despair.

Just in time a nurse was about to come in.

Hearing the sound of smashing things in the office, the blond nurse asked the patient: "Boss is painting?"

After getting an affirmative answer, the nurse knocked on the door, pushed the door open again, and saw the broken drawing boards and paints all over the floor, and Gao Fan, who put his hands in his hair, even put the top hat that he never fell off. Throwing it aside, it can be seen how troubled he is now.

"Boss, are you okay?" the blond nurse asked.

Gao Fan saw the blond nurse with '1' embroidered on his clothes, he smiled wryly and said, "I don't know if I'm crazy."

"Isn't this a mental hospital?" Jessica No. 1 said.

"No, I don't know all of this..." Gao Fan waved left and right, then up and down, as if drawing a 'cross' in the air, "I don't know if all this is true , I don’t know if you guys are real, I don’t know if I imagined this mental hospital, I don’t know if I’m crazy or not.”

"You can use the real world as a reference. You have influenced the gatekeeper, and the gatekeeper is affecting the real world." Jessica No. 1 said calmly.

"This can't prove anything. No one has seen this mental hospital except me." Gao Fan said very decadently.

"Liu Xiu has seen it, I have seen it, the lady on 11F has seen it, it does exist." Jessica No. 1 said.

"You may just be 'hypnotized' by me, hypnotized by the black box." Gao Fan said, "Imagine, we are like a large piece of corpses floating in the vacuum of the universe, lying here quietly, lying in a black box, And all our memories are fake, all of my imagination, I imagine this is a mental hospital, this is a mental hospital, if I imagine this is a school, you are all professors and teachers."

"If you can't prove it yourself or others, then take it as true." Jessica No. 1 said, "It's like a 'brain in a vat' thought experiment, and there is no way to tell the truth from the fake."

"But now my painting can prove it." Gao Fan pointed to the paint all over the floor and said, "What I painted may be the truth. The patient who left just now was just a mess of souls floating in the black box, so That's how I drew him."

Hmm... Jessica No. 1 picked up the drawing board on the ground, looked at it and thought for a while, and said, "Could it be a regression of skills? After all, you have sacrificed all your skills to the black box through 'fading'." .”

"I thought this was the reason before, but after sacrificing the last 'world' skills, I found that, on the contrary, after 'disenchanting', my skills did not leave me, but became another way of existence The same is true for Lin Senhao, his mystery has spread to his youth army and maggots, forming a huge whole, otherwise how can he control those mysterious troops as an ordinary person?" Gao Fan said.

"So that's how it is..." No. 1 Jessica nodded. Only Lin Senhao and Gao Fan had experienced the "fading charm" in this human age, so only they knew the impact of this incident.

"What should I do? I can't go back to reality and paint because I will die, and I can't paint here because I'm crazy..." Gao Fan murmured, so desperate, what is the life without painting? Meaning.

"Boss, have you ever thought about a possibility." Jessica No. 1 said suddenly, "Is your skill still not enough to describe this world?"

Um? Gao Fan looked up at the blond nurse.

"If your skill doesn't leave you, it becomes this hospital. It's only 11 floors. It's too low. It may not be able to describe this world in a box. After all, what does a world in a box mean?" No. 1 Jessica asked.

"...Ultimate?" Gao Fan's eyes lit up.

"Boss, you are actually drawing the ultimate, and all your models are part of the ultimate." Jessica No. 1 said.

"In this case... Could it be~" Gao Fan jumped up, "I have to build the building to the 100th, 1000th, and 10,000th floors, so that I can get closer to the ultimate and draw the ultimate look?"

"This is very likely." Jessica No. 1 said, "So don't be decadent, please sign this repair report, I need to apply for a batch of 'certificates' to repair the building."

"You...you didn't lie to me to get me to work, did you?" Gao Fan asked her while signing.

"How could I lie to you, I love you~" Jessica No. 1 made a heartfelt gesture, then picked up the file and went out.

"Then I have to urge AA to quickly get me enough souls..." Gao Fan muttered.
