Chapter 54: The Strange Painting
With a click, the European medieval lock opened.
"You're so powerful, Zhang Qiang, can you even open such an ancient lock?" Situ Cao couldn't help but admire.
"Of course, you don't look at who my brother is! I think back then, I ......" Zhang Qiang walked towards Situ Cao and wanted to say something, turned his head to look: "Hey, what about the others?" ”
Naturally, we didn't want to continue to listen to someone's long nonsense, Zhao Qiqi and Wang Yi, who were closest to the door, walked into the attic first, I walked behind the two, and Du Deming followed after I entered.
It is very different from the narrow and low appearance of the attic.
When a few of us entered, we found that there was something else inside.
The room was about twenty or thirty square meters, and it was covered with dust everywhere, and there was a musty smell in the air.
It's clear that no one has been in here for a long time.
Zhang Qiang was the last to come in, and when he entered with a cat's waist, he found that the space in the attic was not too narrow.
Straightening up, he looked around curiously.
"It's too dirty, isn't it? Are you sure we can really find any clues here? With that, he walked in my direction.
At this point, I was staring at a painting more than a person tall hanging on the opposite wall.
The painting is covered by a black cloth, and the contents are not visible.
"Since the 'True Demon' has been prompted, then it must have some key clues." Zhao Qiqi glanced at him angrily.
"Gao Wei, what are you kid looking at?" Zhang Qiang shrugged and stood to my left, put his hand on my shoulder, and looked curiously in the direction I was looking.
I frowned and hesitated for a long time before I slowly spoke: "I can't tell you what it feels like, anyway, the first time I saw this painting, I thought it was a little problematic." ”
When the others heard this, they immediately walked in my direction.
"Did you find anything, Gao Wei?" Wang Yi looked at me in surprise.
Situ Cao also looked expectant: "Could it be that the predictive ability just now has been stimulated again?" ”
Du Deming stepped forward and looked at a few people: "You guys are quiet first, let Gao Wei speak." ”
I looked at the other five people with some embarrassment, and was a little embarrassed: "I can't say the specifics, I just feel that there is something wrong with this painting." ”
Zhao Qiqi glanced at them, and walked to the picture covered with black cloth behind his back: "Is there a problem, just open it and see?" ”
"That's right!" Zhang Qiang scratched his head.
As he spoke, Zhao Qiqi stretched out his hand and pulled away the black cloth on the painting.
The dust fell, but the attention of several of us was attracted by the content of the painting at the same time.
The painting shows Countess Mary standing with a young man.
The man had delicate facial features unique to Europeans, his whole body was covered in armor, his right hand was holding a sword, and there was an indissoluble heroic spirit between his eyebrows.
"Who is this person, it feels pretty cool." Zhang Qiang touched his chin and looked the man on the painting up and down, teasing.
Several people's eyes subconsciously turned to Zhao Qiqi's direction.
I saw her head down, as if thinking about something.
"Qiqi, have you thought of anything?" I looked at her too.
She nodded: "According to the information I have found, the husband of Countess Mary is Baron Nadasdi, who is known as the 'Black Hero'. ”
When she mentioned it, I suddenly remembered: "You mean, he is the battlefield hero who is extremely prestigious, but has a cruel and belligerent personality?" I remember him as if he would rather fight on the battlefield than live a peaceful and comfortable life with Mary. ”
Du Deming looked at the portrait that was more than one person tall again: "No wonder he is wearing a suit of armor." ”
"So, Mary hated this husband, who had abandoned her at home all the year round, and even hid the framed portrait with him in a black cloth in the attic where he did not see the light of day?" Situ Cao thought along Zhao Qiqi's train of thought.
Zhao Qiqi nodded: "I'm afraid so." ”
I rubbed my chin with my elbows in my hands, and fell into deep thought again.
It always feels like the secret it hides is not as simple as it seems.
After staring at the painting for a long time, I always felt that Mary's eyes began to have a certain sense of evil, and her heart gradually began to hair.
Du Deming looked at me silently.
In the next second, the two of us reached out to the frame at the same time.
After a ding dong, the voice of the "True Demon" suddenly sounded suddenly: "Successfully trigger the hidden optional mission 2: within one hour, find out the secret in the frame, reward 10 points, and the player can also get an additional escape clue, do you accept?" ”
Seeing that the expressions of the two of us were wrong, Zhao Qiqi frowned keenly: "What's wrong?" Won't trigger any key prompts, right? ”
I smiled wryly and glanced at Du Deming, and while nodding "yes" into the air, I told the others what had just happened.
However, the strange thing is that when the other people touched the frame again, there was no task prompt just now.
Come to think of it, such a task should only be given if it is discovered at the first time, right?
"The secret ...... in the frame," Wang Yi thought about when he heard this: "It can't be that there is a mezzanine in it, right?" ”
Zhang Qiang immediately came to his senses, he rolled up his sleeves: "Whatever, don't you know if you take down the painting and look for it?" ”
I turned my head to look at Zhao Qiqi, and saw that she didn't object, so I didn't say anything more.
In a few moments, all six of them were squatting in front of the giant painting.
Zhang Qiangzai carefully rummaged through the frame, inside and out, but still found nothing.
There is no mezzanine, and there is no imaginary hidden object.
Zhang Qiang pulled his partiality bangs, a little entangled: "This is strange, shouldn't there be any mezzanine hidden in such a frame in the TV series?" ”
"Or is there something wrong with the angle of our thinking?" I thought, muttering.
Du Deming glanced at me strangely, and subconsciously frowned: "Could it be that the 'secret in the frame' does not refer to the mezzanine we think, but the painting itself?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Qiqi seemed to think of something.
"Du Deming is right, the information should be hidden in that painting." She shouted at us with some excitement: "Gao Wei, Wang Yi, you hurry up and hang the painting back in its original place." ”
I was stunned, but I still followed what she said, and hung the painting back on the original wall with Wang Yi.
The six of them stood in front of the painting, carefully examining the huge painting that we were already familiar with.
Raised his hand and glanced at the countdown to the optional missions on the survival bracelet - forty-one minutes and thirty-six seconds remaining.
At this time, Situ Cao suddenly looked at me: "Gao Wei, don't you have the ability to predict?" Try it and see if you can think of anything. ”
"So far, I don't have control over that ability, or I can't use it as I please." I shook my head helplessly: "Except when I saw a private girls' school just now, after I triggered it once for some reason, I didn't have that feeling again." As for the painting, it was not so much a trigger for the ability of precognition, but a certain sixth sense after raising the mental force field. I can't say specifically, but I'm sure they're two different abilities. ”
