Chapter Seventy-Four: The City of the Dead
When the night was abruptly raised, there was not a single star in the sky, and under the night sky, shrouded in crimson moonlight, everything seemed to be graffiti with blood, and there was no superfluous color.
In the Xuanyue hanging high above the night sky, the red with the smell of blood was particularly dazzling throughout the night, as if the world was full of a fear drenched in blood.
The corpses everywhere, the miserable wail, no one responded, the Xuanyue bent in the sky was like the bloody fangs of the night demon, he was in a corner under the night, showing the smile on his face, a trembling smile, watching the endless misery and the enjoyment of the river of blood flowing in this world!
At the end of the last century, in this environment, far from the corner of Chengguang City, there was a building that was permanently filled with mystery and fear, and almost everyone dared not approach it, even from a distance.
At that time, there were only two people living in that building, behind the huge engineering building, one was the owner of the house and the other was his servant, and there was always only these two people in the house, and there was never a third person.
Whenever the blood moon rises again, there is no starlight around, only the death heaven shrouded in fear, under the blood-colored fog, the whole building seems a little blurry, and it is impossible to see its whole picture, as if it is stared at fiercely by the pupils of death, and there is no respite, giving people a heavy sense of depression, and there is no way to turn over.
From a long distance, from time to time there would be a sound of wailing from the vague building, but no one dared to approach it, only to look at it from a distance, and listen to the sound of fear from the cautious man constantly reaching his ears.
The wailing continued all night, and when the dawn came, when the first rays of the morning sun broke through the fog that permeated the entire building, it was possible to see the whole building clearly, and the grand momentum made people have a yearning for it, but they only thought about it, but they did not dare to take a step forward.
This is where the famous painter Jin Xi lived in the last century, and only Jin Xi and his servants lived in the huge building, and this has been the case for a long time in the last century.
This person has always been a mysterious figure in the mouth of others, no one knows his past and present situation, but his works have attracted almost the world's attention, and some people are even willing to spend all their wealth in exchange for one of his famous paintings.
However, everyone has a feeling that Jin Xi's paintings give people a very strange feeling, which is indescribable, and they are unintentionally attracted by his paintings, and then feel more and more that his paintings have some charm.
This is something that is clear to all.
But at the same time, there is something that no one knows, or at night, especially when everyone is asleep, in a small hut with no obvious lights in that somewhat terrifying building, mixed with colored watercolors, an elegant artist sits in front of the window, riding on the blood-colored moonlight, on a white paper, painting his own artistic works.
Between the nimble fingers, a slender paintbrush dipped in multicolored paint dances across the entire paper.
And, in this process, there has always been a wailing sound, no one knows why, the light in the hut became a little red in the dimness, and then turned dark red, in this environment, it was Jin Xi's favorite atmosphere, he was immersed in this environment alone, on the small table, a glass of filled red wine seemed to be able to see the crystal beads in the moonlight.
There is no sediment in the high-end red wine, just like the blood that has just been revealed, which makes the bloodsuckers yearn for it!
This life continued for the last century, until the end of the last century, when the famous painter Jin Xi finally died of illness, and people like him could have enjoyed a lavish funeral, but he did not arrange it before leaving. In the end, no one knows where his bones are.
Including his servant, it is said that no one knows what Jin Xi looks like, including the servant who lives with him, when the two of them meet, Jin Xi will wear a mask, and only when he is painting alone in the hut, will the mask be removed.
I heard that the mask was still the silver mask given to him by the master clown Jace, and the only person who may have seen him is Jace.
However, although Jin Xi has passed away, as an artist, he still left a bunch of mysteries in this world, and he told his servants in writing, telling his servants all the arrangements after his death.
With the passage of time, this is no longer the residence of the famous painting master Jin Xi at the end of the last century, and outsiders prefer to call this a museum with an artistic atmosphere, and many people come here every year to observe and visit here. You can see the works of Master Jin Xi, and of course there are some other objects on display, such as sculptures.
However, the museum has a rule that people who come here can only visit during the day, and when the sun sets, no one in the museum can appear except for the servants.
This place is only qualified to live here at night, since the death of the famous painting monster Jin Xi, the place where two people originally lived here has become a servant, and there is only one person, there is only one servant, but after one dies, there will be a second person to take over, and there will never be a vacancy.
In this way, it has continued to the current museum, and the management of the museum is only this one person, and in modern times, I don't know how many generations it is, and the person who cares for this museum is called Ling Qi, a man in his early twenties. For as long as he can remember, he has been instilled with the idea that he wants to guard this museum.
As time passed, no one remembered the events of the last century, and the wails of that night never sounded again. For the master painter Jin Xi, he was unwilling to show his true face in front of everyone, compared to him, his paintings are more charming, and the most interesting thing in the whole museum is his paintings.
Some people come to this museum just to see the paintings, and they stay inside from the time the museum opens in the morning until the sun sets, and they stay all day.
Because there is also a rule that everyone only has one chance to enter the museum, and once they go out, they may not have the opportunity to come to the museum again in their lifetime. And the things inside can also be photographed, and can only be appreciated. It is said that this was all explained by Jin Xi before leaving.
Therefore, people who come to this museum will try to read all the contents of the museum as much as possible, leaving no regrets for themselves, and staying as long as they can. However, after leaving the museum, people who have been to the museum have a lot of opinions about the situation in the museum and the artworks, some people say that it is very messy, and some people say that the colors inside are very monotonous.
However, because you can only enter it once, these claims cannot be verified again, so the museum has always been covered with a veil of mystery. There are also rumors that some people sneak into the museum at night. But after the night, the man lost all contact. No trace of him was found.
Some people suspected that the servants inside had killed the people who had entered, but when the police arrived during the day, they did not find any clues. There are no clues in the entire museum.
Because of this, after this same thing happened several times, no one dared to explore this mysterious museum at night.
During the day, it is a museum with many works of art that many artists yearn for, but at night, even if there is no wailing here, there will still be a blood moon.
The Museum of Horrors, shrouded in blood, is a capital of the dead. No one dared to approach at night, only the servant who had been living here. That's why this museum is also known as the "Museum of the Dead"!
And Ling Qi knew that all this was Jin Xi's arrangement, and it would not be long before this museum of the dead was the most critical time.
According to Jin Xi's arrangement, in a few months, ninety-nine years after his death, he confessed to the last survivors that he would invite some people to this museum of the dead.
In this Museum of the Dead, there has always been a secret hidden, a secret about Jin Xi himself, from the bloody fear of the end of the last century. He specifically explained that anyone who could unlock the secrets of the Museum of the Dead would get all of his possessions during his lifetime and would learn a few things about himself.
The main thing is that whoever unlocks the secrets of the Museum of the Dead will understand why all the strange things that have happened in the Museum of the Dead over the years.
The mixed descriptions of the museum, and the reasons for the late-night wailing, will be revealed at the moment when the museum's secrets are revealed.
A blood moon rose above the night sky again as usual, and the breath of death had been flowing around the Museum of the Dead, and there seemed to be a faint sound in the vast museum.
Not the wailing sound of the desire to survive, but a heavy pain of being squeezed!
Only when dawn breaks does this disappear and the museum returns to its usual state!
No one knows what's going on inside, and it seems that an extraordinary adventure is unfolding little by little!
