Chapter 75: Spontaneous Combustion
The restaurant in the exhibition hall is huge, and at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of tourists and staff come to eat here.
Meals are not included in the ticket, so Qi Yan has to pay for something to eat.
Dad and Chen Huiting are not here, so it should be that the work at hand has not been completed.
In the entire exhibition city, smoking is absolutely not allowed, even in the toilet, and fire safety is very strictly controlled.
This can suffocate Qi Yan, but it is not good for him to go outside without permission, because he was brought in by his father, and he has no tickets in his hand, so he can't get in when he goes out.
"That's enough....... you want me to spend a whole day in such a non-smoking place, and my dad is still busy with his own work, isn't that fatal?"
For a long time after lunch, Qi Yan didn't know how he survived.
Even if you finish the entire exhibition area, it will only be more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon......
I met my father once on the way, Qi Guoheng was taking several photography assistants to tour around various halls and halls to capture some better pictures, and the photographer's job is to provide the media with the actual information of the exhibition.
Qi Yan had no choice but to find a public rest area with a place where free IFI was supplied, ordered a drink, sat there and played mobile games, and kept >
Most of the content of the chat is also complaining, he is bored to the point, but those many exhibits are still quite ornamental, but they are more dull for him.
Later, it wasn't until his mobile phone ran out of battery that it finally arrived at seven o'clock in the afternoon, about two hours before the end of today's exhibition.
As soon as the phone runs out of battery, the last period of time is even more difficult.
Qi Yan kept yawning, walking around several areas alone.
Not to mention, in the last two hours, there were actually more people who came to visit, and there were also many extracurricular activity teams organized by universities, middle schools, and even elementary school students.
Unconsciously, Qi Yan returned to the area where he had seen the clay statue of Lord Shiva with Chen Huiting before, and a large group of young students with glasses were all nearby, chattering and discussing while watching, they were watching with relish and dizzying.
Qi Yan saw that there were people all around, as if he was looking for a slightly quieter place to stay for a while, so he walked to the Shinto parish.
Maybe it's because it's a Japanese exhibit, so the crowds are relatively small.
At this moment, when Qi Yan returned here again, he found that the "Tianzhao Shining Sun" was no longer very lively.
On the white bench seat, only a lonely figure sits back.
And this familiar back...... It attracted Qi Yan's attention again.
Well? Is that... The man you saw in the crowd during the day?
His black clothes contrast sharply with the white scenery around the exhibition area, which further accentuates his presence.
Since the person was now facing away from Qi Yan, he still couldn't see the face of this person.
But... As before, the familiar feeling and the faint premonition of danger in my heart suddenly appeared.......
"Hiss~~~ Do I know that guy? I always feel like I've seen it somewhere..."
Qi Yan looked at both sides, and was about to walk over slowly when someone patted him heavily on the shoulder.
"Hey, what's the fuss?" The person who came was Qi Guoheng, holding a camera in his hand and walking in front of Qi Yan.
"Dad, don't you suddenly appear every time you say hello to me, okay? …… Are you almost out of work? I'm going to get moldy any longer here, and I feel like I smell like the old exhibits right now..."
Qi Guoheng smiled helplessly: "You said you... Hey~~~ Why don't you know how to appreciate art so much? Do you know how expensive takeaway tickets are for this show? ”
However, he also understood his son's temperament, so he didn't say much, "Okay, okay, I'll be off work in a while." ”
While my father was talking here, Qi Yan saw it...... The young man on the bench slowly stood up, his face always facing the "Picture of the Bright Sun".
After getting up, I saw him put his right hand behind him, and his five fingers seemed to be fiddling with some gestures?
The behavior was strange, but no one around noticed it except Qi Yan.
His middle and ring fingers are bent and clasped with his thumb, which is the first gesture.
Then the handprint changes, and the wrist is reversed to form a finger sword, which is the second gesture.
This was followed by a clenched fist, the third gesture......
After a few seconds of pause, he suddenly opened his palms wide.
All this was seen by Qi Yan a few meters away......
Nobuyoshi Watanabe grimly looked up at the scroll in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
Eventually, he muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "Burn... Amaterasu. ”
Qi Guoheng saw that Qi Yan was not listening to himself at all, his eyes kept staring ahead, and he was still frowning.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Qi Yan's eyes stared straight at the side of the scroll, and he slowly raised his finger and said, "Uh... That, old... Dad, is it my eye? Look at the picture scroll on the wall, isn't it...... Smoking? ”
Qi Guoheng immediately looked back, and the "Tianzhao Shining Sun" illuminated by several lights was still as magnificent as the day.
It's just that both father and son are now focusing their eyes on the very center of the picture, that is, Anameasu, who is sitting in the clouds...... A small circle of smoke began to appear.
The hole grew bigger and bigger, and the smoke became denser.
A few seconds later... It's like paper stained with Mars, and it catches up with a "whew~"!
At first, it was just a fist-sized flame, but the scroll itself was paper, and the outside was not as wide as glass, so the flames spread quickly.
A faint smell of burnt burns also filled the air with the burning of the scroll, and the people around who were viewing the artwork smelled it one by one, and they all looked this way.
"What's on fire?"
"I smell it too..."
"Oh my God! Look, the painting is burning! ”
"What?!"
As for Qi Guoheng and Qi Yan's father and son, they were even more dumbfounded...... What's going on? Why is "Amaterasu Shining Sun" so abrupt... Spontaneous combustion?!
An exhibit placed at an exhibition, or such a dazzling picture scroll exhibit... It's actually on fire, what kind of concept is this? You can imagine how surprised you will be in these few seconds.
Whether it's ordinary sightseers or the staff, they are all stunned... Because it happened so suddenly, no one knew it.
Soon, more than half of a painting scroll about 6 meters long was burned, and the scorching flames clinged to the scroll in full view.
Several staff members were already talking anxiously into their headsets.
But even more alarming is yet to come.
The "spontaneous combustion" of "Amaterasu Shining Sun" is like a wake-up call or signal, and as it ignites, the artworks on the other walls of the Shinto Museum in the area of the Shinto Museum are as long as they are scrolls or flammable...... One after the other, the same situation occurred, and without anyone igniting anything, they caught fire.
Not to mention, there are more than a dozen scrolls depicting gods and statues on the surrounding walls, just like the Lantern Festival, where the flames are lit one after another.
Puffs of green smoke and the smell of burnt became heavier and heavier, and more than a dozen works caught fire at the same time, bathing this small area in a terrifying sense of heat.
