Soul Painter

Gao Fan wrote vigorously in this former residence of celebrities.

Communicate with Lin Senhao who has been separated by 100 years.

Lin Senhao passed through the abyss and arrived in 1920 not long ago, only a month, so he didn't know much about 1920. He only saw the world's turbulence, the existence of upper races, lower races, slaves, priests, minions, etc. The cloud of war is raging all over the world, and human beings are not monolithic. Some countries have joined forces with the devil, while others are fighting.

The newspapers on the streets of Shanghai often have news such as "The beautiful and strong aircraft carrier group that is the pillar of the Allied Powers was attacked by a mysterious sea beast in the Atlantic Ocean." At this moment, the peace in the country is also extremely fragile. With his support, he clashed fiercely with the Sanmin Society, which advocates the "one who returns everything to one", on various occasions. The war was imminent, and behind the warlords who ruled various places, there was also a shadow of terror and publicity.

As the priest of the Invisible Son, Lin Senhao is also a genius who is proficient in occultism, and soon became a fish in water in 1920. The gentleman who was regarded as the hope by the whole country hired him as an aide, so Lin Senhao was able to work with Gao Fan here. In the former residence of Mr. Wei, communicate through the air.

As for some technical means, Lin Senhao did not describe too much. Since the Lin family was able to dig such a magnificent abyss through 2021 and 1920 under the Lin family's ancient house, Lin Senhao dug a smaller abyss, which is also within the scope of technology. Inside.

This used the power of the Invisible Son and consumed a lot of mystery. Lin Senhao said he only had one chance.

At the same time, because Lin Senhao has limited mysteries, he can only transmit some small things and simple messages. The reason why Xinwei was chosen as the communication port and location is not for love, but because Lin Senhao knows that if you find Xinwei, you will also find him. Gao Fan.

Gao Fan's whereabouts are hard to find, but Lin Senhao knows Xin Wei's home address in Shanghai.

In short, Lin Senhao's goal is to make a deal with Gao Fan despite all the hardships.

"I need the imitation of the "Gate of Hell", on which live the twenty-four maggots sacrificed by the Lin family in the past. In this era, I need them as strength, the twenty-four maggots , is worth an army."

"It's just an imitation, not the ceremony itself," Gao Fan said.

"Your imitation is almost real. In 1920, some mysteries can make it real." Lin Senhao said.

"Interesting, what are you going to trade with me?" Gao Fan said, "In addition, you have to make up for my spiritual loss. My most trusted roommate actually betrayed me at a critical moment. Do you know how much this has caused me? Does it hurt?"

"..." Lin Senhao wrote down six points on the paper, omitting his feelings for Gao Fan's "most trustworthy" description. Where did the trust come from between the two of them?

"I have time." Lin Senhao said, "1920 was very turbulent. The person I follow now is the spiritual leader expected by the country. I have access to many resources, such as gold, jewelry, works of art, such as Zhang Daqian, or Picasso, Van Gogh The works are still in the hands of his family, these are chips after I have time, I can bury these chips somewhere, waiting for you to get them in the future."

As expected, Lin Senhao knew Gao Fan well, and the works of art were indeed very attractive to Gao Fan.

But...Gao Fan didn't think that the timeline Lin Senhao was in was the same as the timeline he was in.

Otherwise, how did the great beings who invaded the world in 1920 be repelled in 2021? Did Ultraman make a move?

So even if Lin Senhao buried Van Gogh's "Starry Night", Gao Fan would not get the reward he deserved.

However, Gao Fan had another idea.

"Since you are in a turbulent age, what I want is fear."

"Fear?" Lin Senhao didn't understand.

"Yes, enough to break through rational fear." Gao Fan emphasized on the paper.

...

midnight.

Gao Fan drove an SUV back to this former residence of celebrities.

Xin Wei insisted on coming, so Gao Fan asked her and God to wait in the car, while Gao Fan took the pair of "The Gates of Hell" and walked into the alley as if he got off the car alone.

This imitation has been kept on Gaofan’s car since the end of the Biennale. With Gaofan’s almost nonexistent reputation, it is impossible for any exhibition hall to accept this work. If it cannot be exhibited, there will be no one. If you watch it, you won't earn SAN value, so keeping it in Gaofan's hands is of little use.

In this case, why not let it shine in Lin Senhao's hands.

Gao Fan held the painting in one hand while walking slowly.

The alley is about 300 meters away from the entrance of the former residence.

Halfway through.

The scenery around Gao Fan suddenly changed miraculously.

The street lights changed from bright to dim, with green lamp housings and large shiny bulbs, full of the style of the last century.

The asphalt road on the ground turned into a stone road.

Light rain fell from mid-air.

The lights of the modern city in the distance are shrouded in infinite darkness.

It can be vaguely sensed that there is a mysterious giant lurking in the Huangpu River, and it casts its tentacles towards the entire city. In the northern sky and the southern mountains, there are also terrifying giants of similar size, watching the city.

On the street next door, Gao Fan could even see workers holding torches, loudly demonstrating, and on both sides of the street, there were patrolmen in blue uniforms, blowing their whistles nervously.

This world is simply a mess.

Gao Fan stepped on the wet stone road and knocked on the door of his former residence.

There was a 'squeak'.

The door was opened, and Lin Senhao, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and looked unusually straight, appeared.

"You're here." Lin Senhao said with a smile.

Now, Gao Fan in casual attire and Lin Senhao in Chinese tunic suit face each other, as if two generations separated by a hundred years of time and space are communicating with each other's virtual images.

"I'm here." Gao Fan said, while speaking, he pretended to hand the "Gate of Hell" under his arm to Lin Senhao.

This work seems to link the two eras. When it was handed over from Gao Fan to Lin Senhao, the two eras had a brief meeting.

"It's just the right time. The master is going to launch an uprising in Shanghai. Those ghouls must be eliminated first. With the maggots, the battle will be easier to fight." Lin Senhao said with a smile.

As he spoke, Lin Senhao pointed inward to Gao Fan, and saw that elegant gentleman was discussing with several young people on a map in the small garden of his former residence, uttering 'general attack' from time to time. Words such as 'ghoul', 'ceremony' and 'sacrifice'.

"It's such a messy era." Gao Fan sighed again, and he said to Lin Senhao: "Don't forget what you promised me, of course, it doesn't matter if you forget, anyway, in my heart, you are already the representative of the four words 'treachery' .”

"In this case, why do you still help me?" Lin Senhao asked curiously.

"Because...it's fun." Gao Fan said.

He likes the mystery.

Lin Senhao consumes a lot of mystery and introduces him to the war-torn 1920s. Just this fleeting glimpse in exchange for the imitation of "The Gates of Hell" is already worth the price of admission.

Gao Fan estimated that Lin Senhao's so-called "possession of mystery" and "consumption of mystery" are the same as his own improvement and consumption of "occult skills". It's just that Lin Senhao doesn't have a system panel, but Lin Senhao has the favor of the invisible son, so that's okay. Help him open the 'Abyss'.

"Okay, besides, you seem to have two invisible command spells on you. Don't use them for now. After I get enough power from the invisible son, you may be able to summon me with invisible command spells, twice." Lin Senhao Said, "This is not the agreed remuneration."

"I don't dare to expect you to be full of conspiracy." Gao Fan shrugged.

"You lunatic~" Lin Senhao smiled and closed the door.

As a result, the drizzle falling on the shoulders, the stone road under the feet, and the strange age of wars all disappeared, while the lights in the sky above Shanghai in the distance, and the peace within sight returned again. Gao Fan sighed "magic", Going back, there is a girl holding a cat waiting for him at the entrance of the alley.

Update~ This book was originally set to be a two-way travel, but because the story elements are too rich, it has to be subtracted, so I gave up, but the main story still sets a background of the times~
