Chapter 185: Strange Oil Painting
"Uh, I didn't expect Liu Xing to be so unlucky, you actually voted for a big failure as soon as you came, I wasn't ready for the punishment of a big failure, so be it, even if you lose 1 SAN value, you will directly pass an inspiration judgment, but this SAN value test will not increase the knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos." KP Li Shunchan pondered for a moment and said with a smile.
Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, this can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, only 1 SAN value is lost, as for the automatic inspiration judgment, this can be regarded as Liu Xing's wish, because Liu Xing himself intends to directly follow an inspiration judgment after the SAN value is verified to determine the abnormality of this oil painting.
After KP Li Shunchan's words were finished, Liu Xing felt that something was wrong with the oil painting in front of him, the girl's originally upright facial features were suddenly misplaced, and every part was not where she should be, simply put, the eyes were not eyes, and the nose was not the nose.
Liu Xing frowned, he only lost 1 SAN value, why did he hallucinate.
At this time, Liu Xing heard the sound of dice falling from behind, and turned around to see that it was the young man in a black coat.
Gu Jun, 74/50, failed.
As soon as Liu Xing looked at Gu Jun's SAN value, he knew that this Gu Jun was a troublemaker nine times out of ten, and the knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos was likely to exceed 20.
"Hello sir, I want to ask you one thing, when you look at this oil painting now, do you think that the facial features of the girl on the oil painting are a little strange?" Gu Jun stepped forward and accosted Liu Xing.
Liu Xing pretended to be puzzled and said: "That's true, when I saw this oil painting for the first time, I didn't notice anything unusual, but after looking at it for a long time, the girl's facial features on this oil painting were suddenly misplaced. ”
Gu Jun touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Sure enough, it's not my illusion alone, it seems that I came to Ziwu City this time, and I came to the right place." ”
Liu Xing asked tentatively, "Well, this gentleman, do you have any thoughts on this oil painting?" ”
Gu Jun smiled and said: "I heard that your accent is also Chinese, my name is Gu Jun, I am an occultist, and I was invited by the president of Ziwu University to teach archaeology a few days ago. ”
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this Gu Jun to be a mysticist who taught archaeology!
Liu Xing sighed silently, he was ready to tear the card, after all, he was in place as a death scientist.
Although Liu Xing was a little reluctant to answer, he had to say now, "Oh, in this way, Gu Jun, what do you think is wrong with this oil painting?" ”
Gu Jun looked at the oil painting and shook his head, "I don't know what this oil painting is all about now, because I haven't encountered this kind of thing before, but I can now be sure that this oil painting should be made by a magician." ”
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, pretending to be surprised and said, "What, is there really a magician in this world?" ”
Gu Jun looked at Liu Xing and said mysteriously: "Is there a magician in this world, don't you have a little bit in your heart?" ”
Liu Xing's face sank, and he didn't know how to answer Gu Jun's words for a while.
"Hehe, don't be nervous, I'm an occultist, and I still have a few brushes, so I can tell that you should have experienced some supernatural events and encountered some mythical creatures." Gu Jun said confidently.
Liu Xing looked at Gu Jun in some surprise, he didn't expect Gu Jun to talk like this without overtraveling, it seems that the occultist really has such a strange skill.
"Well, I've had some strange things, I've seen some mythical creatures, but so what?" Liu Xing pretended to be puzzled.
Gu Jun smiled and said seriously: "In this way, I finally understand, if nothing else, this oil painting has been set up by someone to trigger a mechanism, ordinary people will only see the appearance of this oil painting, only those of us who have experienced supernatural events and seen mythical creatures will trigger the mechanism of this oil painting, so that we can see the true body of this oil painting." ”
Liu Xing nodded, what Gu Jun said was reasonable and convincing, and Liu Xing also felt for the first time that being a death scientist still had some effect.
"I see, no wonder this oil painting will be placed here, it turns out that ordinary people can't see the real body of this oil painting." Liu Xing pretended to be suddenly enlightened.
Gu Jun nodded with a smile, pointed upstairs and said, "Let's go up first, I just asked the library staff, they said that the director is on the third floor now, I want to ask him about this oil painting, I believe you should also be interested in learning a little bit about it." ”
Liu Xing shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, by the way, Gu Jun, you can call me Liu Xing directly." ”
Liu Xing and Gu Jun looked at each other and smiled, and walked directly to the third floor.
When they came to the third floor, Liu Xing and Gu Jun quickly discovered the director of the Ziwu City Library, because there was only one person reading a book on the third floor.
What surprised Liu Xing was that the director of the Ziwu City Library looked like he was in his twenties, and he was very handsome, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and he had an idol temperament.
"Hello, are you the director of the Ziwu City Library, Mr. Naoki Kuroba?" Gu Jun walked in front of Black Feather Naoki and said with a smile.
Kuroba Naoki pushed his black-rimmed glasses, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm the director of the Ziwu City Library, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
Gu Jun went straight to the road, "That's the case, I want to ask the curator, what is the oil painting at the corner from the first floor to the second floor?" ”
Naoki Kuroba nodded, and took out a book called "King Tyndallus" from the shelf.
However, this copy of "King Tyndallus" sold very poorly, like a pirated copy of a few dollars a copy on a street stall.
"Legend has it that in the Asuka era, in the territory of the current city of Ziwu, a country called the Kingdom of Tyndalus was established, and King Tyndalus was the founding king of this country, and the only king of the Kingdom of Tyndalus, King Tyndalus was brave and good at war, wise and wise, and it can even be said that he was an unpredictable prophet, and many times in extremely disadvantaged circumstances, defeated the troops sent by Emperor Suiko to attack, and that oil painting is the daughter of King Tyndaros, but the daughter of King Tyndalus was in her teens, He suddenly suffered from some kind of terminal illness and died, and from then on, King Tyndalus had no intention of ruling the government, and soon disappeared suddenly, so the once-prosperous kingdom of Tindarus also declined, and was finally destroyed by Emperor Suiko. Kuroba Naoki said unhurriedly.
PS: I'm tired when I go to work tomorrow.
