Chapter 21: Portraiture
When Lu Qing heard the screams and rushed to the hall on the other side, he saw Daniel with blood on his hands, and Lady Beatrice lying in a pool of blood. "Ahh Why are you so stupid? "Anata's former calm has been lost, and her beautiful face is full of tears." Don't cry, I'm willing. Beatrice had been hit hard in the chest, and she was about to die.
She coughed up a cloud of blood, and Anatama panicked to wipe the blood from the corners of her mouth, but no matter how hard she tried, the blood from the corners of Beatrice's mouth flowed more and more. "Don't bother, Anata. Live well, because you are my most important ...... Friend. Beatrice used the last of her strength, and after saying this, a soft smile appeared on her pale lips, and she slowly closed her eyes. Only the bloodied hand, stubbornly, clutched Anata's cuffs tightly, as if grasping the most important thing in life.
"Why did you kill Lady Annata?" Charles roared at Daniel, "Are you crazy? ”
"Qing, I didn't expect you to come back so soon." Daniel ignored Charles behind him, turned around and said to Lu Qing with a smile. "First of all, I have to thank your men for showing mercy and sparing my life." Lu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "I know you're not a bad person, otherwise you would have already attacked Owen and Betsy." In fact, Madame Annata is also innocent, she knows nothing about the past, why don't you let her go? ”
"She? Originally, I was going to spare her life, but this woman should never have slandered my sister Devonie! She was obviously imprisoned and tortured by her biological father, humiliated by others, and finally died in pain, and this woman even said that she was a slut and a slut! Daniel's normally calm face became a little hideously twisted with excitement.
"What are you talking about?" Charles and Elena are confused, and Anata, as for Annata, has been immersed in the grief of losing Beatrice, and she has turned a deaf ear to the others. "Charles, run outside with them, you must go where there is light! Owen and Betsy: They're near the woods! ”
"Got it, Qing, go on!" Charles threw his camera away, and then quickly left the place with the mother and daughter. After Lu Qing took the camera, he rushed forward and scuffled with Daniel.
On the way here, Lu Qing finally figured out the way to survive in this mission, that is, light. Daphne only kills in the dark, and all the dead die in the dark, although the time of death is irregular, but they all die in the darkness without light. The reason why the first night was fine was because everyone slept with the lights on all night out of fear.
Only he and Daniel pulled the lights and curtains in the room, obviously triggering a dead end, why did they all stay safe all night? Now everything is self-evident, because Daniel is Devine's own brother, and it is naturally safe to have him by his side.
He had also noticed that when Daphne first appeared in the living room, the living room light was turned off. And everyone at that time, only Daniel brought a mobile phone, as if he had expected the situation to come. And last night's killing, the culprit is also Daniel. After he sneaked into the manor, he destroyed the electric gate and cut off the electricity here. He had wanted Devany to kill Lady Anata, but unexpectedly, Anata escaped under Charles's protection.
It wasn't until the morning that he found a few other people, and he wanted to do it himself, but because Lu Qing arrived in time, he ruined his plan.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at fist and foot kung fu." Daniel lay on his back on the ground, flicking his messy hair feebly. "Ahem, you're not bad either." Lu Qing had several colors on his body, and coupled with the injuries on the back of his head, he was already a little physically exhausted.
"By the way, where's that portrait of Devonie now?" Lu Qing's task was half completed, and next, as long as he found the collection, the task would be completely completed. "You said that painting?" Daniel's next words made Lu Qing feel cold: "As early as that night, I burned it. ”
"What?" Lu Qing was shocked, if what the other party said was right, wouldn't he be unable to complete the task? "Actually, when my mother sent me away, my heart was full of resentment." On the other side, Daniel had already said to himself: "But it's not her that I hate, it's the man." No, what he does cannot be called a man, but a beast! Just because my appearance is not handsome enough, he has not given me a good face once since I was a child. ”
Daniel was raised by his mother to a distant relative in another place, and his mother would send him toys, snacks and a large sum of money every month by asking her cronies to make her son feel better. The days went on like this for two years, and when Daniel was nine years old, he received a letter from his mother. In the letter, his mother euphemistically stated that she would never be able to communicate with him again.
Daniel was initially worried, thinking that his mother was being watched by his father, and privately cut off contact for the time being. But as time went by, he never received a letter from his mother, and after repeated entanglements, he finally learned the news of his mother's death from his adoptive father and adoptive mother.
"It was only later that I heard from the servants that the beast had imprisoned my sister and tortured her until she committed suicide. And the mother also died of depression shortly after the death of her sister. Daniel's eyes were full of anger: "When I became an adult, I broke off the relationship with my adoptive parents, changed my name and surname, and used the huge amount of money left by my mother to take it all for plastic surgery and maintenance. It took me five years to get to where I am today. His words made Lu Qing sigh.
"I worked hard to finally hook up with Catherine, and through her relationship, I met James and slowly blended into the entertainment industry. I know that this beast has a pathological pursuit of beauty, not only on the beautiful maids and servants in the manor, but also on the stars in the entertainment industry. Sure enough, not long after I became famous, he noticed me. ”
In this way, Daniel embarked on his own path of revenge step by step. He had thought that everything would go according to his plan, but, the night before the feast, he had a dream: "I saw my sister in a dream, and she was as beautiful as ever. My sister told me that her soul was tormented after she died. She cried and begged me to help her out. ”
"So the painting?" Lu Qing seemed to understand a little.
"Yes, she told me that the portrait must be burned. So after I killed the man, I stole the painting as she wanted it and destroyed it. ”
