Chapter 21: The True Face (I)
The soft and distant electronic bell rang, the time entered eight o'clock in the morning, and the busy and inefficient day began again.
Ronan waited for a long time for the "enthusiastic people" to come, and saw that a few of the gangsters who were knocked down almost relieved, and he didn't want to clean up the mess, so he simply turned around and left.
He didn't ask who was targeting him, on the one hand, he didn't think that these gangsters really understood the inside story, and on the other hand, looking at the needleless syringe that fell on the ground, as well as the special solution inside, he also had a rough guess.
Sitting in the classroom, Ronan didn't listen to a word of the teacher's lessons in the classroom. On the notebook spread out in front of him are abstract symbols traced with a luminescent pen. He used the color adjustment function to turn the lines into a dark red, almost no difference from what was shown in the setting.
Ronan stared at the symbols in his notebook, which naturally corresponded to the Burning Shadow.
This symbol is very wonderful, when Ronan tried to use it as the core to restore the specific image of the Burning Shadow, he inexplicably felt that any stroke fell was a snake to add to the painting.
These dozen or so lines are staggered and coiled, and all the characteristics of the Burning Demon Shadow have been exhausted, and it is so full that there is no way to start.
Holding the pen will not fall, holding it back to the heart, Ronan simply no longer demands perfection, sketches the lines casually, believes in the reins, and relaxes. In my mind, I think about the reason for the appearance of abstract symbols.
The Burning Shadow was besieged and slashed on the warship, there is no doubt about it. But on the chain of his own vision, the symbol that appears is also real.
Ronan thought about it, and there was only one reason: that is, when the Dark Chains controlled the Burning Shadow, they once analyzed the mystery of its core layer and gained something. Although the Burning Shadow has been slain, its core qualities still leave traces on the chains, and it has a certain function.
Then, it was not the dark chain that warned of the crisis in the morning, but the symbol from the Burning Shadow. This is because the Burning Shadow is very sensitive to negative emotions such as fear and violence, and can borrow it for its own use, which is exactly what the art industry specializes in.
Ronan also felt that after the conflict just now, the presence of the symbol was stronger than it was at the beginning, and its power seemed to be recovering.
Could it be that the Burning Shadow can rely on symbols to "resurrect"?
Ronan's heart fluttered slightly, if that was the case, it would be better. The combat effectiveness of the Burning Demon Shadow has been fully demonstrated on the warship, if there is such an "escort", why not be afraid of those campus gangsters? Even if you turn back and enter the professional association, you can also have an extra hole card, which is much more calm.
Is there any way to speed up the recovery of the Burning Shadow? Not?
Ronan suddenly felt that the tip of the pen was slightly astringent, and then looked at the notebook, and the abstract symbols had been described by him in a nondescript manner. It's like a burning shadow, but the proportions are completely wrong.
However, it seems that he can still draw.
The idea of the ghost sending the god to the gods, as well as the inexplicable inspiration, made Ronan interested all of a sudden.
Most of the time, Ronan's painting is "subtraction", and all the structures, lines, and shadow arrangements are simplified, just to highlight the core characteristics of the material.
In my memory, the only time I did "addition" was when I achieved the breakthrough of "My Heart is like a Prison". At that time, he only had abstract ideas, but no substantive corresponding images, and it was through continuous inspiration and filling in details that he improvised a magnificent structure from which he extracted the "dark chain".
The situation now is somewhat similar to yesterday.
There is not so much inspiration, but as long as the general direction is clear, the relevant details and clues are still very impressive. For example, needleless syringes, such as stun guns, and such as those gangsters......
Ronan continued with the clumsy sketch, repairing here and supplementing there, a certain image, which was originally sunk in the bottom of my heart and did not form a form, became clearer and clearer at this time.
In the notebook, what is finally presented is a vague group of buildings, but vaguely similar to the structure of some areas of Zhixing College.
The drawing is scribbled and blurry, and anyone who looks at it may be confused as if it were a clumsy and unfinished sketch.
But Ronan knew that the drawing was over. It has been filled with all his inspiration and known information, and the most important answer is presented:
In the core, where the abstract symbols are located, the result is a silhouette of a figure who is a man who is inward-looking, using exaggerated body movements to hide his fear.
And also......
Ronan stared at the sketch, above the dark red lines, there seemed to be a layer of firelight flowing, illuminated by the "firelight", he was a little trance, like a sense of alienation between the spirit and the body before and after the out-of-body body. But in this state, a lot of vague information on the picture suddenly becomes clear:
The target is about 3 kilometers away, somewhere southwest of the campus, corresponding to the college building...... Medical Department!
When the clear and clear information rushed into his head, Ronan was stunned.
Could it be that this is the technique of the "psychic"? It's like sleepwalking, splicing together all kinds of elements at random, but in the end, you can come up with a relatively clear answer.
But I don't know how those real "psychics" work?
Well, the words of the medical department, Ronan suddenly remembered that he had made an appointment for a physical examination yesterday, and the time was ...... Well, it's already over.
However, memories always come in waves. Ronan remembered again that when he logged in to the Secret Star Forum yesterday, there was a netizen named "U Spirit", who was also affected by the Burning Shadow, saying that he took his wife for a physical examination, but he didn't know if he found anything?
The information related to the Burning Shadow was something Ronan wanted to collect, and when the soft screen was broken, he used the bracelet to connect the miniature projector of the desk, connect to the Internet, and go to the Secret Star Forum to see the news.
The moment he logged into the forum, Ronan almost didn't recognize it. The whole forum was solemn and heavy, gray and dark, and there was nothing else.
The central interface becomes a dark black hole horizon, with the following themes:
The exploration is not over, and the heroic soul is not far away - the U spirit concentrates on the mourning post.
Ronan was stunned for a moment, opened the post, and was immediately followed by an excerpt of the news, to the effect of:
A couple living in the R&D area went to the hospital yesterday afternoon to check their bodies, because of the escalation of the quarrel, the wife was suspected of having a psychotic attack, lost her mind, and stabbed her husband to death, causing a human tragedy.
Below, there is a thick font marked with bold and black:
Wary! Wary! Wary! The impact of the "nightmare event" is beyond our expectations, everyone must be vigilant and do everything possible to find out the truth as soon as possible!
Ronan stared at the news until the end of class.
The students moved around with a bang and split up for the next class location. Ronan also got up and walked out of the classroom, but in the direction he was not going to the classroom, but to the medical department three kilometers away.
However, not long after he walked out of the class, a slight dizziness hit.
