Soul Painter

Soon the police car followed the ambulance.

There's even a fire truck.

Faced with all kinds of accidents that may occur when investigators deal with pollution incidents, the police have plans.

However, there were no major accidents in this incident. Except for an F-level investigator who was almost 'stranded' and ended up losing a lot of sanity, and suffered some healing injuries such as fractures, there was no loss of life or property.

Gao Fan submitted a simple, a few-word report to STK, that is, encountering nightmares and eliminating them. During the process, Qiu Qingfan encountered a bronze statue of a great being, and eventually lost part of his sanity. As for the truth, does the truth matter? ?

And that bronze statue.

When Gao Fan tried to touch the bronze statue, he felt that the system was eager to issue a task to it.

Now, Gao Fan gradually understands the working mechanism of the system. It encourages Gao Fan to discover, explore, and solve any great existence that tries to interfere with human society, and issues corresponding rewards.

And it is not interested in some alien races under the personality, such as the ancient black tree, or the 'nightmare shadow' that has just been experienced.

But the system is very interested in Nightmare's father, that is, the bronze statue—according to previous investigations, the Nightmare girl was born from the intersection of her mother's dream and a great existence, so it can be inferred naturally that The bronze statue-like beacon built according to the girl's words is the girl's 'father'.

Gao Fan looked at the bronze statue from a distance, and in his inspiration appeared the deep sea, a huge strange piece of meat like a city, and thousands of tentacles dancing wildly. In addition to the sound of ocean waves, there was also a distant song like the sound of whales in his ears. .

He has no doubt that once he comes into contact with the bronze statue, he will get a mission, a mission no less than that of the 'Invisible Son' or even the 'Elk Cat'.

That means adding the gaze of a great being to Gao Fan's body.

It doesn't simply mean a task.

It also means that more mysteries converge on Gao Fan.

Those mysteries are either people, things, or irresistible fates.

"Forget it~ my life is important." Gao Fan said to himself.

"Mr. Investigator, how to deal with that thing?" A policeman asked Gao Fan.

Although Gao Fan was young, all the policemen who handled the matter were informed that they were their colleagues fighting on another front, and they were soldiers carrying the burden for mankind, so the tone of the policeman was very respectful.

"Describe a restricted area to prevent citizens from approaching, and the police are not allowed. The scope is the entire Rose villa." Gao Fan said, "I will notify STK to send someone to deal with it. It is temporarily beyond the scope of my ability to deal with it."

"Okay." The policeman said, and then asked curiously in a low voice: "Mr. Investigator, have you caught the murderer who caused your colleague's injury?"

"I've caught it." Gao Fan looked up and looked at the little Jewish girl in pink standing on the top of the third floor of Rose Villa.

The little girl waved her hand to say goodbye to Gao Fan.

Then her figure slowly disappeared into the air.

Said to be the murderer.

Inappropriate, she was just a dream of a nightmare.

The nightmare turned the scene of her birth into a dream through mystery, and left it in this villa, waiting for the designated person to break into it and understand it.

The bronze statue is the 'anchor' that fixes this dream.

The whole process is like this:

Lin Senhao accepted Gao Fan's commission to use "The Gate of Hell: Imitation" to collect fear.

According to Gao Fan's understanding, as long as Lin Senhao used his works to collect enough SAN values ​​during the war years, then Gao Fan would naturally receive these SAN values, but the real situation is not the case.

Gao Fan didn't know what obstacles existed in this process, which caused the fear collected in "Gate of Hell: Imitation" to be unable to be transmitted back through time and space.

He only saw that in order to send these SAN values, Lin Senhao used the power of Nightmare. According to the degree of intimacy between Nightmare and Lin Senhao, Gao Fan suspected that they had an unusual relationship, and Nightmare used her mystery to make one of her dreams, In other words, a shadow remained until a hundred years later.

When Gao Fan came into contact with this dream and the portrait Lin Senhao specially painted for him—the portrait is the ceremony, and these SAN values ​​will be passed on. The whole process is full of unknowns and mysteries, but it should be a relatively economical way. Compared with Lin Senhao's consumption of opening 'Abyss', it is much less.

But Gao Fan fell into a strange doubt at this moment.

Lin Senhao can pass items to Gao Fan through this method of allowing time to flow naturally, which means... Lin Senhao's 1920 and Gao Fan's 2021 are the continuation of the same time and space.

‘The end of the world, it’s 1920! '

Gao Fan couldn't help but think of the sharp roar of the chief elder of Bengka Village.

What exactly are we dealing with?

Are we in a post-apocalyptic surviving world?

But why is there no relevant record in history?

Are the great beings obliterating people's cognition of real history?

What exactly are they going to do?

Gao Fan looked up at the starry sky, and suddenly felt a shiver.

...

After dealing with the scene.

Before Gao Fan left, he called STK and asked about Qiu Qingfan's condition.

The STK operator said the situation was not very serious.

The ambulance sent Qiu Qingfan to a psychiatric hospital, where he would receive a psychiatric evaluation and careful care, and constantly use modern medical methods to rebuild his rational defense line, waiting for the day when he can return to work.

For traumas that occur on the human psychological level, especially those related to the great beings, STK has no means of treatment. There are thousands of investigators in the list of STK, and each investigator has his own mystery. The traces, the old seals and command spells on their bodies, and even the most mysterious law, do not have the ability to restore reason.

The human soul, under the interference of a great existence, is like a fragile vase, no, it is like a snowflake exhaled by the hot breath in the mouth, just a moment of temperature, it will collapse and collapse.

Compared with those investigators who were directly transformed into devil's claws because of their sanity collapse, or whose mental beach was completely destroyed, they could only drooling in the confinement ward and trying to injure themselves in the world whispering, Qiu Qingfan's state could even be Said to be slightly injured.

"Another investigator for the bronze statue will take care of it," the operator said.

Probably that Bai Liusu, Gao Fan didn't ask.

There must be a great existence behind Bai Liusu, the one represented by the black, white and gray butterfly. Gao Fan is not very interested in knowing.

Knowing is also a kind of intersection, and intersection is terrible.

For example, an encounter with Gao Fan almost caused Qiu Qingfan to 'strand'.

"Mr. Painter, I heard that you have accepted a commission." The operator suddenly said.

"The news spread so fast?" Gao Fan was a little surprised.

"After all, some big people are operating it. The rumors will soon spread throughout the world, and your reputation will also usher in a leap." The operator said, "However, you have to be careful of 'gravediggers', this is not a simple commission."
