Soul Painter

Before converting to "Lovely Father", Zhu Liuli was already well-known in China. Her spirituality is amazing, and her perception of color can be compared to some masters. If it wasn't for the impact of the war, she should have gone to Europe, where the artistic atmosphere is more intense. , received a more systematic painting education there, or already became famous in Europe.

It’s not too late now. As the first batch of converted gatekeepers, Zhu Liuli has been in post-war Germany for two months. The art world is starting to blossom.

Although the small art circle after the war can be regarded as "enclosed by itself", because the public pays more attention to the economy and people's livelihood, but even the small circle has believers and admirers. Currently, the new mayor of Berlin, Germany pays special attention to art. Fuxing has met Zhu Liuli and other young artists several times, and welcomes them to build a new Berlin together.

Not only Berlin, but the whole of Germany needs to be rebuilt. As a country once completely occupied by demons, the original population was nearly 90 million, but now there are only less than 50 million left. Almost all families have lost their relatives, which is not considered a vast land. In terms of area, there are ten rooms and nine empty rooms at the moment, but devil stone carvings can be seen everywhere.

After Zhu Liuli received Anna, she took her to an apartment where Tianmei students gather, or an art gallery is more appropriate. This place is called 'Dürer's House', and it was a small museum before the demons took over. There are several works of Dürer in the collection as the treasures of the town hall, which were later destroyed by demons and are now largely rebuilt.

The Dürer House was approved by the mayor of Berlin to allow artists from the East to live temporarily. Before the war, modern art in Berlin showed signs of decline. After the war, it was possible to welcome art students from the East. The chief thinks this is a good sign of artistic revival and economic recovery, so he takes care of Zhu Liuli and others.

Here, Anna met seven gatekeepers. As usual, Anna taught them the new edict of 'Father' and the usage of 'Paris Blue' to them that night, and the apprentices headed by Zhu Liuli happily accepted it. This kind of love.

After that, Anna and Zhu Liuli faced each other alone.

That night, in a dimly lit room on the third floor, Zhu Liuli told Anna about the current predicament of the janitor in Germany. In fact, everything went well until a janitor disappeared.

"Luo Ye has been missing for half a month." Zhu Liuli said very worriedly.

Luo Ye, one of the Tianmei students who came to Berlin at the same time as Zhu Liuli, was a passionate boy. Anna remembered that he always preached his admiration for the "loving father" with enthusiasm and passion.

Anna's character is not suitable for preaching. After regaining the black box, she has no idea about how to spread the belief of "the only Lord" and "the loving father" among human beings, although the black box has the function of brainwashing , but it is impossible for Anna to come hard and force the black box into the mouths of every believer.

Therefore, the first and second subjects Anna tried to preach, that is, Zhu Liuli and Luo Ye, became the key to the whole matter, especially Zhu Liuli. His attitude, show him the miracle.

The reason why Zhu Liuli was chosen was because Anna observed that Zhu Liuli's ambition is also a genius of modern art, but Zhu Liuli is also Tianmei's student president and often participates in various social activities. If in other European countries, Zhu Liuli It is very possible to go directly to politics after graduation.

For Zhu Liuli, the doctrine of salvation that Anna wants to convey is a combination of art and politics. Both are her favorites, just like Anna loves mathematics and art.

Therefore, with the help of Zhu Liuli, the president of the student council, Anna further developed as a sports committee member and Luo Ye, Zhu Liuli's suitor, and then continued to adjust her strategy so that the gatekeepers in Tianmei students would burn like a spark. .

Two months ago, Zhu Liuli came to Europe with eight companions. For the gatekeeper, Germany's tens of millions of devil stone carvings are very important mysterious resources, but Zhu Liuli's departure is also restricted by the domestic environment. Showing her strengths, and the reason why Anna, the high priest, overwhelmed her, prevented her from showing her full potential.

After coming to Europe, everything went well until Luo Ye disappeared.

"Teacher, can you bring Luo Ye back?" Zhu Liuli asked Anna.

"The loving father said that he is dead." Anna said, the result was obtained by "divination" by the black box, "and the soul has not returned to the sanctuary."

Dead...without the soul returning to the sanctuary...this is the cruelest death for a janitor.

There was a sad look in Zhuli's golden and silver eyes, and then he was vigilant like a female warrior: "Who did it... Is it our enemy? Is it a demon?"

"Yes, I am here this time to fight against him." Anna said, "My loving father said that our opponent is in Berlin."

"There are indeed many anomalies in Berlin recently. We avoid them as much as we can. After all, our strength is still weak, but this time it will be different after we have 'blue'. We should fight back!" Zhu Liuli said with a strong tone. Hatred, she wants to avenge Luo Ye.

"Yes, for revenge, we need to release more powerful servants, and we also need to see clearly the enemies hiding in the dark." Anna whispered.

Candles flickered.

The faces of Anna and Zhu Liuli under the lamp looked a little gloomy and uncertain.

It's not because of being a demon priest that he created such a dark scene. It's really because Berlin's current power supply is not sufficient. The use of civilian electricity is restricted at night, and a large amount of electricity is invested in urban construction. Residents can only use lighting at night Rely on some wax.

...

At this moment, on the street, a pair of eyes are watching the flickering lights in the window on the third floor of the "Dürer House".

...

the next day.

Anna woke up from the cold.

It is now January, the coldest time of the year in Europe. Most of the residential heating in Berlin relies on natural gas, of which 40% comes from the Russian Federation. Now the two natural gas pipelines entering Germany from the Russian Federation have all been shut down. The devil blew it up, and it only took four months to rebuild a part of it, which is still unfinished. Therefore, the current situation of Berlin residents is that they mostly rely on wax for lighting and firewood for heating.

Of course, as a reconstruction project under the care of the mayor, the "Dürer House" can still be supplied with natural gas for heating, but it is not uncommon for the gas to stop. It stopped this morning. Wearing a blanket, standing in front of the window, wiped off the ice on the glass, and saw the monster standing at the door of 'Dürer's House'.

It looks the same as the monster Anna saw on the K13 train, but it doesn't wear clothes, so it looks like a robot with flesh and blood armor protruding from its body.
