Chapter 65: Painting
“…… That person is Du Youlan. ”
In just a moment, Zuo Yuan's words were repeated in my mind thousands of times.
No way......
I definitely saw Mina, not only the back, but also her side face. I won't be mistaken for that face, absolutely not! But why did Zuo Yuan say that the person I was chasing was Du Youlan?
"What does Du Youlan look like?" I asked suddenly.
"What did you say?" Zuo Yuan looked at me with a strange look in his eyes.
"I said, can you tell me what you said Du Youlan looks like?"
"Don't you even know what she looks like?"
"I know, but I think what I know may not be the same as what you know."
"Good ......"
Zuo Yuan became very patient at this moment, or rather, he wanted to know what his expression would be like when I saw the "Du Youlan" he was talking about.
He stretched out his right hand, which was dry like the hand of an old man over a hundred years old.
In the cracks in the skin of the palms, black granular worms gradually crawled out, extremely small, smaller than sesame seeds. There were more and more of those worms, gathering a large mass in his palm. The insect mass began to climb upwards, gradually forming the prototype of a human face......
The face is getting clearer and clearer, and the contours of the facial features make me feel familiar.
Eventually, I couldn't believe my eyes.
Those worms really make up a face, Mina's face.
"Du Youlan, I will never forget this face in my life......" Zuo Yuan slowly turned his head, his eyes touched me, the long hair on the right side parted into a huge gap, and the face of the white bone skeleton was already half exposed, "When we chatted, the distance was so close, you should have seen this face on my right, right?" This face is due to him. I will never forget that pain. The worse the pain, the deeper the memory of her. ”
Speaking of which, Zuo Yuan mentioned one thing, a few hours ago, he followed us all the way to Du Youlan's residence, and what stopped him was the corpse puppets of the village. It was those motionless villagers, Zuo Yuan said, who were never alive. This sentence sent chills down my spine, and I wondered if when I got along with Yao Qianwen, these villagers were already puppets manipulated by Du Youlan?
But the point of the matter is not here, but the control of the corpse puppet, there is a certain distance limit. Beyond that distance, the corpse puppet will not obey.
And I, in the ghost market, chased "Du Youlan" again......
"So, I have reason to believe that Du Youlan was there at the time. It's just that I don't know where she is. ”
He was right, Du Youlan did manipulate the corpse puppet at that time.
And right in front of me.
It's Lan Lan.
"Tell me, why? I know you chase her, you have a question to ask her, you told me. But why do you say to me that you met the person you've always wanted to see? Zuo Yuan shifted the focus of the problem to me.
"She's not Du Youlan......"
"Oh? What do you mean. ”
"Literally......" I said, my eyes removed from Mina's face, which was made of worms, "She's the one I'm looking for, but it's not Du Youlan." ”
I was sure that if I were Zuo Yuan, I should understand that the person in front of me was definitely not lying.
And apparently, we were thinking the same thing, so he looked at me with a look that became even more weird, "Are you making me doubt my own eyes?" Or memory? ”
"What your eyes and memories are, none of my business. But I believe in my own eyes, and in my own memory. ”
"Then let me see what you said Du Youlan looks like."
Zuo Yuan put down his hand, but none of those black insects landed, and crawled in along his cuffs.
"I won't do that thing with you." I looked at his sleeve.
"And what will you do?"
"Give me pen and paper."
"Huh?"
"I'll draw her."
Zuo Yuan was surprised, as if he didn't expect me to use this way. But he also really got me a piece of paper, and a pencil.
Painting, when it comes to this, is a story.
Until then, I never believed in talent. Until that day, it was still that beach, Mina watched the sunset, and I watched her. There were children playing around, and they left paper and pen, and I picked them up, and the tip of the pen recorded the most beautiful thing I saw on the paper......
"That's a good drawing, am I?" Mina walked around behind me and lay on my back, her hands around my neck.
"Not quite like that, you're prettier."
"Flim Flam...... I really didn't know, though, that you learned to draw. ”
"I haven't studied, the first time."
"Lie to me?"
"Really."
"That must have been learned in my previous life." She took the paper.
"I never believed in my last life. I just want to live this life well. ”
Mina liked the painting and said she would keep it.
……
At the end of my thoughts, my fingers stopped moving.
I drew another human face, but I didn't know this person, and I had been thinking about Mina just now, so the person in this painting was slightly modified according to Mina's outline. Although the differences in each place are subtle, when combined, no one will feel that they are the same person.
Zuo Yuan picked up my painting and looked at it for a long time: "I seem to have seen it somewhere." ”
"Maybe you've actually seen it. Maybe Du Youlan, more than one face. I responded.
"You're right, and I remember that I did meet this man. I just can't remember when or where. "He looked serious, but it didn't look like he was fooling me.
It doesn't look like you're lying to me.
Didn't he really see it? The world is really full of coincidences and accidents.
Although Zuo Yuan was very concerned about what I said about chasing Mina. But he had no doubts about my purpose. Our relationship has had some twists and turns, but it still stands.
I know that tonight's topic is not to argue whose view of Du Youlan is true.
It's the man in the vat.
"Now tell me who that person is. Oh yes, you've already said the identity, he has a close relationship with Du Youlan. So let's talk about his worth, I'm curious. "I took the initiative to bring the conversation to the man in the tank.
"He's a big businessman in this ghost city, and he's also the best wizard in Ratam."
"Where?"
"Ratham, the name of the place, you may not have heard of it."
I may not really know about the rest of the country, but the small town of Ratam, which I remember deeply. Is this person related to the small town of Ratam? I thought of the mechanism map, was it providence in the dark, or was someone deliberately arranged?
"What's the use of him, or, what do you want from him."
"He was the last person I saw after the appearance of what I called 'Du Youlan'. From him, I got Du Youlan's whereabouts, or to be more precise, where she would go next. ”
My heart was beating uncontrollably faster.
That's not Du Youlan I know, it's Mina, so, the person in the vat knows Mina's whereabouts!
"How do you know that person won't lie to you?" I tried to look calmer.
Zuo Yuan smiled coldly, took out a small dagger, and flew out in the direction of the cylinder! The blade is as fast as lightning and pierces the cylinder! There was a crack in the cylinder block, and the next moment, it suddenly fell apart! A large number of black worms scattered from the shattered tank, and among the black worms, there was a skeleton with thin flesh and blood glued together!
On top of the skeleton, there is a human head!
The man's head sank slightly, and the moment he saw his body clearly, he let out a tearing wail.
The sound seemed to come from hell.
