After getting off work from a fast food restaurant, Araki Hakuro went to the painting supply store from yesterday.

I just bought manga tools at this store yesterday, and today I came to buy oil painting materials, and the clerk at the painting supply store naturally recognized Araki Shiro.

He smiled and asked, "Little brother, don't you draw comics?" ”

Araki Hakuro replied casually: "Naturally, I have to draw manga, but recently I have to hand in my homework with oil painting." ”

The clerk asked strangely, "Are you a student at the Academy of Fine Arts, and you look younger?" ”

Araki Bai smiled and didn't speak.

He doesn't weave lies about these inconsequential questions, so he simply doesn't answer.

He took his brand new painting tools with him, and left after settling the bill.

When he got home, Araki Haku found his sister Yuko watching TV absentmindedly.

As soon as she saw Araki Shiro, she immediately ran over and hugged him, as if she was afraid that Araki Haku was about to disappear.

Araki Bai touched his sister's head with a smile and said, "Yuko, I can't make you dinner if you hold me like this." ”

Yuko Araki raised her head, her eyes were full of worry, and she said softly: "Brother, I'm so afraid, how can we have the money to pay back that bad guy." ”

Araki Bai comforted: "Don't be afraid, I've already figured out a way." Endure it for a few more days, and after a few days, those people will never bother us again. ”

But Araki Yuko obviously misunderstood what Araki Bai meant, and she hurriedly said: "Brother, you must not do stupid things, you can't fight them!" ”

Then, she suddenly burst into tears with sadness, choked up and said: "It's really not good, just let them take Yuko away, they can do whatever they want Yuko, but brother, you must not have an accident!" ”

Araki Bai suddenly felt a sour nose, but as a man, how could he cry in front of his sister, not even tears of emotion.

He forcibly suppressed his tears and said with a smile: "Yuko, don't worry, what I have to do is not to fight those people, but to sell a thing to a rich man, and he will give me 6 million." ”

Yuko Araki wiped her tears and asked curiously, "What is so valuable?" ”

Araki Bai said: "You don't care what it is, anyway, with it, our lives will be fine, do you believe me or not?" ”

Yuko Araki nodded vigorously and said, "I believe in you, brother!" Because my brother has never disappointed Yuko, Yuko is really happy to have my brother by her side! ”

After saying this, the little girl seemed a little ashamed, and buried her head deep in Araki Bai's chest.

Araki Bai patted her on the back and said with a smile: "Okay, Yuko, who will cook dinner with you all the time, let's go watch TV first, dinner will be ready soon." ”

Yuko Araki finally let go of him and obediently ran back to the couch and sat down to watch TV.

Araki Haku's words seemed to give her boundless courage, no matter how sinister and cruel this world was, it couldn't make her feel scared anymore.

After dinner, Araki Shiro returned to his room.

These days are weekdays, so naturally he can only paint in the dead of night.

Fortunately, it was just an oil painting, not 600 comics, which was more than enough for one night to paint.

After the oil painting is finished, it can be dried with a fan, and in two days it can be sold to a lucky rich man for the 6 million.

"So, which one should I choose?"

Araki Bai held a paintbrush and a palette in his hand and closed his eyes and meditated, and the works he had painted in his previous life flashed in front of his eyes like a marquee.

"That's it."

Araki Bai chose a landscape painting that he was more satisfied with, landscape painting is different from figure painting, each person's aesthetic will have a certain difference, and the beautiful scenery is the same pleasing to everyone.

Araki was about to paint with a pen, but suddenly felt a palpitation. His eyes widened, and a terrifying and inexplicable force was pulling him toward the infinite darkness.

He panicked, but he couldn't speak, let alone move. In a void darker than death, he felt as if he had crossed a line.

In reality, Araki's eyes became blank.

He seemed to be looking at the sketchboard in front of him, and as if he was looking out the window at the distant night sky.

At the same time, his hand holding the paintbrush was rapidly drawing on the drawing board like a convulsion.

It didn't take much effort, and a figure painting that could be called a masterpiece appeared on the canvas.

With the completion of this painting, Araki Haku also suddenly woke up from the soul wandering void.

He looked incredulously at the painting that suddenly appeared on the canvas, completely unaware of what was wrong with him.

The painting depicts a young girl who is not very old, wearing the uniform of a certain high school, and looks like she should be a high school student.

She had beautiful long hair, but it was scattered all over her body.

The girl didn't look good, because she had a sharp knife stuck in her chest.

The sharp knife pierced her chest, spilling blood on her white school uniform.

Araki Haku's superb painting skills, under the change of light and dark, make the blood look more real than the photo.

The beautiful girl, but pierced through the chest with a sharp weapon, lies motionless on the street, looking at you in front of the canvas with unsparkling eyes.

Whoever stands in front of this painting will be struck by the incomparable painting technique and indescribable cruelty, even by Araki Shiro, who painted it himself.

But at this point, Araki Haku's shock was definitely greater than anyone who would see the painting.

He stood in front of the drawing board like a wooden chicken, his face was horribly pale.

Why was he so shocked?

Because he recognized the girl in the painting.

This girl is none other than the easily shy girl Aya Hirano, who works at a fast food restaurant with him.

Why is Aya Hirano in the painting?

Why was Aya Hirano stabbed in the chest in the painting?

Why did Araki Hakuro draw such a picture without the slightest impression in his mind?

The night breeze blew through the window on Araki Bai's face, and the night wind, which was not cold, made Araki Bai's whole person feel as cold to his bones as if he was standing in the ice and snow.

He was not a timid man, but standing in front of this picture, looking at the blank eyes of the girl in the painting, he felt as if there was something invisible in the room pointing at him and whispering.

"Enough!"

Araki Shiro, who couldn't stand these whispers anymore, suddenly roared.

He was terrified.

Inherited from Bai Xue's fear.

The paintbrush and color palette fell to the ground, and Araki Haku huddled in front of the bed with his head in his arms. The memories that belonged to Bai Xue in his mind began to come back again, making him almost vomit.

He seemed to see his father standing in front of him with a solemn expression, and reprimanded him harshly; It was as if he saw his mother looking at him with disappointment; It was as if he saw the countless viewers laughing at his paintings, and the flashing lights in the sky were filming his ugliness......

"Wow!"

Araki threw up, he didn't know if it was because of the memories that terrified him, or if it was the overly realistic corpse on the painting. It wasn't until he had completely vomited up the food debris in his stomach that he felt better.

At this time, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and Yuko Araki rushed in panting.

Araki Haku's bedroom is on the first floor, while Yuko Araki's is on the second floor. Perhaps she heard her brother's yell and immediately got out of bed, rushed down the stairs, and rushed into his room.

"Brother, what's wrong with you!"

Little Lori didn't care about getting dirty, and ran to Araki Bai's side in a little panic and hugged him in his arms.

"Brother! Don't be afraid, Yuko is here! ”

Araki Bai raised his head, grabbed her hand a little weakly, and said, "Don't worry, Yuko, I'm fine......"

Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes went black and he fainted.
