Chapter 118: Soul Redemption
Qin Jian's words suddenly focused all the eyes in this room on his body. According to the clues they reasoned before, a keyword eye was taken out of each room, and the final answer was "Painted Mixed Blood." But after this answer came out, he didn't understand anything and didn't say anything, Qin Jian then sat up from the sofa and said that this was not right.
After that, Qin Jian also gave his own conjecture, the real mobile password of the exhibition hall should be "Mixed-race color painting!" However, some people still haven't understood Qin Jian's reason for saying this.
"Why?" It was Wen Ya who was beside Han Mo who spoke, in addition to Wen Ya, Chu Ming and Shu Xiaoran also seemed to have incomprehensible questions written on their faces, and they also wanted to know the answer.
Qin Jian walked in front of them after leaving the sofa, when they were discussing just now, only Qin Jian did not gather with them, but sat on the sofa alone and thought alone, he thought about all the clues in the five exhibition halls, including the metal-framed famous paintings in them.
Then he stood in front of everyone, faced everyone, and said, "Actually, we made a preconceived mistake that we all thought that the order of these keywords should be the order in which we came here, but it wasn't. ”
After Qin Jian finished speaking, while Qin Jian was speaking, Han Mo, who had been looking at Zhang Xiaoqian's notes, suddenly seemed to understand something, and then said while looking at the notes, "Is it because of this famous painting?" ”
"Hmm!" Qin Jian nodded and continued, "Yes, it's related to these famous paintings, do you remember the time on this metal-framed famous painting?" ”
"The time of the famous paintings in the color room is 1882, all of them are famous paintings, the time on the metal frame of the famous paintings is 1893, the time of the famous paintings in the chaotic room is 1864, and then the time of the blood-red style room, the time on the metal frame of the famous paintings in it is 1876, and then there is the exhibition hall yesterday, if I remember correctly, the time in there should be 1879."
"Yes, you're not mistaken." Yin Fei'er said while looking at Zhang Xiaoqian's notes.
Qin Jian continued, "The above time is the time before the nineteenth century, there is no doubt about this, but even so, they also have a sequence, the day we are invited to come, not necessarily the time when the first clue appears, so if you sort it according to the chronological order of the famous paintings, from far to near, it is 1864, 1876, 1879, 1882, 1893, according to this order, then the clue of the keyword of this exhibition hall will be 'mixed-race color painting'!" ”
After Qin Jian finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought, thinking about what Qin Jian said, except for Yin Fei'er and Zhang Xiaoqian, their expressions seemed to have understood this matter a long time ago.
It didn't take long for Yin Fei'er to continue Qin Jian's words and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, after the clue to this point appears, think about it, outside of each exhibition hall you were in before, are there any clues on the famous painting with a metal frame? ”
"It's the taste!" Not long after Yin Fei'er finished speaking, Chu Ming said.
"Yes, it smells of blood." Yin Fei'er shifted her steps and continued, "Remember when I said before, I found a spray jar in the room where Jin Xi was painting? The taste of the reagent in it is exactly the same as on the famous painting. ”
"I didn't know what this spray was used for, but now I think everyone here has figured it out."
Zhang Xiaoqian continued, "In order to better highlight the words 'mixed-race color painting', let us understand that the famous paintings on the metal frame are all painted by watercolors made of blood, but because it has been almost a century since the incident, the smell of blood on it has long disappeared, so this reagent is used instead, but after all, it is not real blood, so we will smell a strange smell." ”
"And the blood-colored paintbrush that Fei'er found in the painting room before, this is the best proof of this." Qin Jian then said.
"Painted mixed blood? If this is the secret hidden in the entire Museum of the Dead, now that we have found out, what is Jin Xi trying to tell us? It can't really be related to the murder. Chu Ming said with his head down.
But it has been heard by Yin Fei'er, and then Yin Fei'er said, "I think you should all know some rumors about the Museum of the Dead, before the nineteenth century, when the master painter Jin Xi was still alive, whenever night fell here, there were always some screams coming from here, and some guilty people always disappeared inexplicably. ”
"I found such a sentence in Jin Xi's book." Yin Fei'er read out the sentence in the book written by Jin Xi: "The pain of the past life, the immersion of red, the salvation of the soul, the art of the undead." ”
"Could it be that the world-famous master painter before the nineteenth century was still a criminal?" Wen Ya asked Yin Fei'er.
"Based on this sentence, plus some clues inferred earlier, and some rumors about the museum, we can draw a conclusion from it." Yin Fei'er said.
And just as she was about to continue, Han Zhang Xiaoqian continued, "Jin Xi imprisoned some guilty people here before the nineteenth century, and whenever night fell, he used their blood to make watercolor paintings, which has reached the death art of the redemption of their souls." ”
"This is too," Shu Xiaoran covered his mouth.
Han Mo went on to say, "So that's why there were people wailing here before the nineteenth century, and there is also the question of why famous paintings with blood were created before the nineteenth century, and famous paintings after the nineteenth century are almost all painted with normal brushes. ”
"That should also be a kind of redemption, a kind of salvation for Jin Xi's own soul!"
The voice didn't come from here, but from the back of the bookshelf
As the sound flowed, everyone's eyes were cast towards the empty door behind the bookshelf, and then, the sound of footsteps in the black became heavier and heavier, and gradually got closer and closer to themselves. Looking at it again, there were two figures walking out of it, and one of the figures, Qin Jian was very familiar, this was the person he had always wanted to find - Ling Yu and Ling Qi walked out of the dark passage.
As soon as she walked out, Ling Yu continued, "These words that Miss Fei'er saw in that book before are also the most critical words in this book. ”
"The pain of the previous life, the past life here should not refer to the human world, but the previous life of the century, that is, before the nineteenth century, and then look at the words behind, we can guess that Jin Xi did not hesitate to become a criminal himself in order to pursue a higher level of art, in order to baptize the soul of more sinful people, it may be that in the process he also thought about whether his way was correct, as a world-famous painter, but there is only one servant and his own shadow by his side, And then there are the guilty people who have drained their own blood, probably who also wants their souls to be redeemed, but he is also an artist, and he wants to use the last piece of art to tell his sins. ”
"So what we can see is that the people who received the invitation to participate in this event this time are all people with extremely high reasoning skills, we and Han Mo are criminal policemen, Zhang Xiaoqian is a reasoner, and Miss Yin Feier is a world-famous reasoning game enthusiast." Ling Yu continued.
After Ling Yu finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoqian continued, "In the long-term loneliness, Jin Xi probably realized his crime, and then in this way, after ninety-nine years, gathered us here, and then came to uncover the secret that existed here for the whole century, a famous painting made with blood!" Using blood to make watercolors, this is the reason why some brushes have hair dry particles on them, and under this long-term pain and depression, Jin Xi feels more and more lonely, so he will also write the book "One Man's World". ”
"To be precise, the secret hidden in this entire Museum of the Dead is the criminal introspection of Jin Xi, the master painter of the last century!" Zhang Xiaoqian finally added.
"Guilty self-examination!" These words kept repeating in the minds of several people, and everyone in the room was silent for a moment, not knowing how to judge this matter, which was a game, but it caused such a series of questions behind it.
Then, seeing that everyone was silent, Ling Qi, who was beside Ling Yu, stepped forward and began to narrate, "Since my grandfather's generation, we have always been the servants of Master Jin Xi, and that book was also sorted out by my grandfather, and he was able to use this artistic way to publicize his crimes, this is what Master Jin Xi said to my grandfather before he died, and then according to the master's wishes, this place became a museum, and after my grandfather passed away, it was replaced by my father, and my grandmother and my mother both lived far from here." Since I was a child, I have been told that my mission is that the Ling family will serve Master Jin Xi for the rest of my life. ”
"According to the master's instructions, ninety-nine years after his death, invite the most reasoning people to come here and unlock the secrets of the museum, that is, what Mr. Zhang just said about Master Jin Xi's criminal self-examination in the last century, the master began to reflect on himself after the nineteenth century, and the famous paintings he made after that were all normal watercolors, never used to be made by mixed blood, and he also wanted to alleviate a little of his sins." Ling Qi said.
"Then why does it have to be after ninety-nine years?" Shu Xiaoran asked Ling Qi.
Before Ling Qi could speak, Ling Yu said, "This is the question I asked Ling Qi in the secret passage below just now, we all know that a century is a hundred years, and ninety-nine years is just almost a whole century, Jin Xi means that he hopes that his crimes will not exceed another century, so that the sins on his body will be even heavier, remember what I said before, if you can't find the secret hidden in the museum within seven days, this secret will be permanently sealed." ”
"That's because Master Jin Xi only allows one such opportunity to explore, if you don't find out the secret of the museum within the specified time, this secret will be permanently hidden, and there will be no second such activity, because Master Jin Xi will not allow him to be examined twice This biggest opinion artwork, although he is a criminal, he is more of an artist!" Ling Qi continued.
At this point, the secrets of the entire museum have finally been revealed, but there is still a problem that Wen Ya did not understand.
"By the way, if the disappearance of people in the last century was due to Jin Xi's desire to use their blood to create watercolors, what about the people who have disappeared recently? At this time, Jin Xi should have passed away for many years, could it be that Mr. Ling Qi also wants to emulate Master Jin Xi? Wen Ya asked Ling Qi like this.
Before Ling Qi could speak, Ling Yu said, "Actually, there are any missing people, but some people say that this place is very mysterious in order to exaggerate the terrifying atmosphere of the museum, so that the museum is equivalent to being covered with a veil of mystery, which is just some people's nonsense." ”
After Ling Yu finished speaking, Wen Ya nodded faintly, as if she understood something, and then returned to Han Mo's side.
It was their sixth day at the museum, and it hadn't taken them seven days to find out the secrets of the museum, and it was almost noon, and Ling Qi had sent a few people outside the museum after serving them for their last lunch.
Originally, if Ling Yu and the others did not find out the secret of the museum within seven days, there would never be such an event after that, and the museum would remain open as before.
But now it seems that there should be no such opportunity, Ling Yu and they have found out the secret in the museum, and the Museum of the Dead will be permanently closed, and it will truly become an eternal artwork of Jin Xi, a work of art of criminal self-reflection. After that, Ling Qi will also leave here and really start to enjoy his life and not be bothered by these things.
Standing in front of the museum, Han Mo and Wen Ya had already stood in front of their red sports car, and they didn't know what it was like for them to feel about this pre-wedding trip. Although this season is not the cold season, but because of the geographical reasons here, the wind is still a bit strong, and Wen Ya is relatively thin, Han Mo tidied up Wen Ya's clothes in front of the car, and then sent Wen Ya into the car, and before he entered, he waved to Ling Yu and the others in front of the museum. Although this event is only six days long, it does bring an unforgettable memory to everyone, and I don't know when the next meeting will be, probably on his wedding with Wenya. After saying hello, Han Mo got into the car and drove his red car away from the museum little by little, as if he had taken all the red here.
Then, there were still four Ling Yu left in front of the door, as well as Zhang Xiaoqian and Yin Fei'er.
For Zhang Xiaoqian and Yin Fei'er, after such an incident, there is no doubt that the reasoning ability of the two of them is the strongest of the strong, and they will be together again in their lives in the future. Ling Yu could see the meaning of the other in the eyes of the two of them. After saying goodbye, Zhang Xiaoqian and Yin Fei'er also left the museum.
In the end, only Ling Yu and Ling Qi were left.
"Thank you, Ling Qi." Ling Yu said to Ling Qi.
"What did Officer Ling thank me for?" In fact, Ling Qi knew what Ling Yu said again, but he didn't say it explicitly.
"You should get out of here as soon as possible, you can see that you also like the outside world very much, when I see you in the room, I see you alone in the room, and I know that you don't want to be bound by your own fate."
After Ling Yu finished speaking, he walked towards his car with Qin Jian and the others. Ling Qi is the only one left in front of the Museum of the Dead, and there may be no such thing as a Museum of the Dead in the future.
In the driving car
After getting into the car, Shu Xiaoran drove in front, Chu Ming sat in the co-pilot's seat, and Ling Yu and Qin Jian sat in the back, which was also the most embarrassing thing for the two of them. I don't know what the two of them will become in the end.
"In the museum, you asked Ling Qi more than just the question of ninety-nine years." Qin Jian said to Ling Yu beside him.
That's the first thing they say in the car.
"How do you know?" Ling Yu also turned his head to look at Qin Jian.
Qin Jian continued, "When you were in the dining room, after Wen Ya finished speaking, Ling Qi was about to say something, you spoke first, and you thanked Ling Qi in front of the museum just now, it should be because he didn't debunk what you said." ”
"So, what did you ask about Wenya?" Qin Jian asked Ling Yu again.
"It's about the urbane father!" Ling Yu looked out the window in front of her as she spoke.
"Urbane father?"
"Yes, Wen Ya saw a bloody owl specimen in the blood-colored room before, and his face showed a frightened look, and then he asked from Han Mo, Wen Ya saw her father hunting owls when she was a child, and then her father was wanted, and some people said that he went to the museum, and then he lost contact, and Wen Ya also lost part of his memory because of the shadow when he was a child."
"That's not what you said about the recent disappearances anymore."
"Hmm." Ling Yu nodded, "The real reason for the disappearance, I think it should be someone who broke into the museum at night, and then because at zero o'clock, the museum will move, and the people who break into it move with the exhibition hall, but they can't find the exit, so they have been trapped inside, and according to our previous inference, it will take at least five days for each exhibition hall to circulate into the exhibition hall above the museum." So I think those missing people should have been trapped and died in it because of hunger and thirst, and then disposed of by Ling Qi, but this is why Ling Qi told us not to go in at night before, this is also the rule of the museum, just for fear of accidents. ”
"Who is the gentle-minded father?"
"I think Wen Ya's father should have entered the exhibition hall one night, and then moved with the exhibition hall, and was trapped inside, because he took care of Wen Ya's emotions, so these things should not be brought up in front of her."
"Then why do you think there is a sentence in the book that 'three times are blind'?"
"It's to remind us, probably Jin Xi is also afraid that we won't be able to find out the secrets of the museum, and our crimes will not be discovered, so it plays the role of a reminder, of course, all this is just my conjecture." Ling Yu said as she rolled down the window and felt the wind blowing in from the window.
Everything is a work of art by Jin Xi, his cross-century criminal self-reflection, and in the process of turning himself in, he is also telling the world that he is an artist, which is probably the last thing he can do after his death. Eventually, all souls were redeemed, and it was something that could not be explained. Then, the car was still moving. As we got farther and farther away from the museum, the sunlight shone brighter on the car.
In the end, the salvation of the soul is a work of art of criminal self-reflection, this cross-century work of art will exist forever, and it will be permanently sealed - "Museum of the Dead"!
