"Miss, Childe, please come with me."

The three of them had just passed through the gate opened by the Hundred Ghost Diagram and stepped into the mahogany corridor when a pleasant sound came from their side.

I saw a maid dressed in plain white clothes with a face like tissue paper standing behind her.

Since there was no hostility, Lu Ran and the others also temporarily lifted their guard.

"If you hold the 'Hundred Ghost Diagram', you have the qualification to enter the family, this is the master's order...... However, there is one more thing that needs to be done to become a guest in the family. ”

"What?"

"Come with me, three! At present, only the west side of the painting room is still vacant, and the rest of the four painting rooms are being selected. ”

"Okay."

Lu Ran led the two senior sisters and followed closely behind the attendant.

It was discovered that this squire was a two-dimensional character at all, and the whole thing was made up of a piece of tissue paper.

"The decoration of the inner hall, the dress of the maids, and the title of the maids are all biased towards Orientalization, and as far as the [painting room] mentioned by the Hundred Ghost Diagram and this lady-in-waiting, it is estimated that the owner of this inner hall is a painting enthusiast...... Listen to the other person's request first, and act on the opportunity.'"

However, when following this paper squire and leading the way in the so-called [Inner Sanctum Area], Lu Ran finally realized the deepest complexity of the Demon Cave.

This inner sanctum is even more complex than the labyrinth.

The staggered corridors and the staggered structures that change over time are not to be mentioned for the time being.

Each corridor is structured and styled exactly the same.

Every two meters apart, there will be a door.

Lu Ran originally thought that the door corresponded to a small room...... Who knows, when the waitress pushed the door open, the interior was still exactly the same mahogany corridor.

This means that each corridor corresponds to nearly twenty alternative branches, which is a bit excessive.

Without the map of the inner sanctum and the rules of evolution of these corridors, one would have been lost if one walked here.

"It seems that the master here must not be offended, not even these attendants...... If there is no one to guide the way, it is impossible to find the right path."

It took six hours to get to the [West Side Painting Room].

During this period, he traveled through no less than a thousand corridors, and Lu Ran's brain was completely confused.

It is estimated that only in some cases, the protagonists with extraordinary brain metamorphic development, deduction and memory abilities can deduce the laws of change in the corridors of the inner sanctum.

"The west side of the studio has arrived, please come in."

It's finally no longer a hallway.

When you step through this side door, you will find a larger studio than you imagined.

Inside, there are a large number of paintings, some hanging on the wall, some on easels, and some piled up directly in all corners of the room.

According to preliminary estimates, there are more than 1,000 works in the studio.

At this time, the waitress said:

"Because the lord is only willing to receive guests who have a certain 'vision'.

I hope you can pick a 'valuable' painting within an hour, or create a painting of your own!

Then I will lead you to the room where the master is and hand over the painting to the master for review.

You can only stay if you are recognized by the master.

However, since it is not easy for you to collect the "Hundred Ghost Maps", even if you are not selected, the master will still give you a meeting gift. ”

From the squire's words alone, it sounds like there is no 'danger' at all.

But if you look closely at the paintings in the studio, you can still detect a little dark energy...... Moreover, these attendants are only paper people, and it is unknown what the so-called 'master' is.

"The countdown has begun, hurry up."

Lu Ran does not have any basic skills in artistic creation...... Painting is definitely exempt, and if Sister Wan'er is here, she can try to create herself.

The two seniors are also not good at painting.

In hell, strength is the most important thing, and there is not enough time for cultivation every day, so how can there be time to learn painting.

Bai Yuxian proposed:

"There is still a long time, and I suggest that everyone first choose a 'special picture' with their own ideas...... Then, through comparison and discussion, three paintings were selected and handed to each other. ”

"Okay."

According to Bai Yu, they first went to find the paintings that they thought were special.

"Anyway, look for this kind of ...... I've had similar experiences before. ”

Lu Ran remembered the experience of searching for hidden paintings in a secret studio of a professor's house during the photographer incident...... Because the painting scroll involves 'eyes', after staring at different painting scrolls many times, Lu Ran's eyes were damaged.

This time is different, though.

In the studio, as long as the scrolls are displayed, there is no canvas to cover them...... Looking at all kinds of paintings, there is no burden on the eyes.

It's just that the style and content of the scroll are strange, and each painting should be from the hands of different artists.

Lu Ran is a layman in this regard, and he doesn't know how to appreciate it...... You can only try to find the most suspicious picture scroll by sensing the 'qi' emitted by the scroll.

When it comes to exploring the Demon Cave, the experience of the two senior sisters is also higher than that of Lu Ran, and they are currently looking for it with their own unique ideas.

"Devil's hand, open!"

Lu Ran activated his right arm, adjusted his perception of the 'Yin Attribute' to the maximum, and slowly approached a certain corner of the studio.

…………

Inner Sanctum.

A mahogany room with a strong smell of sandalwood.

An old man whose flesh had almost been reduced to a skeleton was sitting on a futon in the center, his eyes closed.

On the walls of the mahogany room, there are 13 full-length portraits.

Look closely...... Lu Ran, Bai Yu and the other thirteen people who came to the inner temple area corresponded to these paintings.

At this moment, the paper lady's attendant who was in charge of guiding the way was standing in front of the old man.

"Master, how many people do you say can realize the problem and get out of it on their own? After thousands of years of civilization, someone has finally discovered it...... Could it be too difficult to set? ”

Like a skeletal old man's chin opening and closing, he said:

"Insight into details, self-awareness, can only be ...... The first test couldn't be simpler. If this can't be done, how can He De inherit the inheritance of my 'Ghost Scroll Clan'? ”

"I understand, if I can't find a qualified person in this group, I will continue to wait with the master."

Behold.

The conversation between master and servant had just ended.

A portrait scroll in the center reacted.

The scroll depicts a handsome young man wearing brass glasses and a crow standing on his shoulder.

"Whew...... Picture-in-picture! What an interesting setting...... It would be more interesting if there was one more layer of nesting. ”

That's right.

In just a few minutes, he saw through the picture scroll, and the person who broke away on his own was the raven.

The chief steward of the House of Horrors.

Raven stared at the old man and the waitress in front of him, and the paintings hanging on the surrounding walls, and laughed out loud with a look of surprise.

"Huh? Are there only two NPCs? Am I one step ahead of my wife? Haha......"
