Chapter 21 Oil Painting
"However, in this way...... Shi Yuan said as he looked at the few oil paintings placed by Fang Yisheng, "and there are still some paintings that are superfluous and not arranged in this story. ”
"It's normal to have a lot of excess, because there's always going to be some distraction. You see, the people in those paintings are different from these, and they shouldn't be the same story. ”
Fang Yisheng continued.
Hearing this, Shi Yuan carefully checked the oil paintings again, and also felt that the characters in some of the paintings looked different, at least on the surface, there was no direct connection with the plot of the royal wedding.
If it was an ordinary person who had never experienced a mission, he must have already believed Fang Yisheng's words. However, this is not the case with Shi Yuan. He has already experienced more than 20 large and small tasks, how can his mentality and thinking be so simple?
"Not a single detail can be overlooked. Let's take pictures of these paintings for the time being, in case all the paintings disappear in a while, we can't see them even if we want to see them. ”
After Shi Yuan finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and took pictures one by one.
Although there is no signal here, the camera function is still available.
Huang Qiong followed the two of them in shock, and occasionally made sudden movements because of some sounds.
Shi Yuan didn't think she was suspicious. It's a dark world after all, so there's nothing wrong with being careful.
Just as he and Fang Yisheng were about to finish taking the photo, their movements suddenly froze, because all the oil paintings were gone, replaced by an empty basketball court.
"Oops, not finished."
Fang Yisheng said immediately.
Shi Yuan didn't speak, still thinking about the possible mystery.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard from somewhere on the basketball court.
"Ahh
Huang Qiong screamed in fright and hid behind Shi Yuan. Shi Yuan also immediately became alert and sensed the situation there.
The abnormal aura that was not too strong fluttered in the air like a silk mist, and although Shi Yuan was nervous, he still remained calm. Fang Yisheng next to him was different, he could only sense the number of living people, and he didn't notice the arrival of that ghost, he could only hear a little creepy footsteps.
Click...... Click...... Click......
The footsteps were not slow or urgent, but it seemed that every stroke fell on the hearts of the three people.
They didn't choose to run away, because the sound of footsteps came from the direction of the exit.
The three froze in place, just staring at what was about to appear.
Finally, they saw the appearance of the ghost.
It was a young man dressed in the garb of a Western aristocracy, but his flesh was rotten, his hair and beard were crawling with disgusting maggots, and there were no eyeballs in his two eye sockets.
When it came to the trio not far away, it stopped and stared at them with eyeless eyes. Then it spoke, then stopped. As for the face, it has no expression, which is completely consistent with Xiao Jing and Chen Shanshi's performance in the stage play.
However, it was a language that none of the three of them understood, and they did not understand what it was saying at all, except that the name "Leticia" was repeatedly captured in its words.
"Leticia? Isn't that the name of the character Xiao Jing plays? It's that princess. ”
Fang Yisheng said in a low voice.
Shi Yuan nodded, and also responded in a low voice: "Although the clothes are different, it is very likely that this person is the prince." That stage play may be based on a true story in history, and this ghost may be the real person in history. ”
"However, I didn't understand what it was saying. What exactly does it want us to do? Its requirements may be the test we are facing this time. ”
Fang Yisheng continued.
Perhaps because none of the three people in front of him responded, the ghost spoke again. Unlike last time, this time it only says the name "Leticia". It kept repeating, I don't know how many times.
"Do you want us to help you find Princess Leticia?"
Shi Yuan stabilized his mind and asked tentatively.
The ghost's words stopped, and he nodded.
"It understands ......"
Fang Yisheng and Huang Qiong whispered in surprise.
"Alright, you'll be waiting for us here. If we find Princess Leticia, we will bring her to meet you. ”
Shi Yuan finished speaking in a calm tone, and then slowly retreated. It wasn't until he had walked a certain distance that he turned around and ran quickly.
"Division...... Shi Yuan, are we going to run away? ”
Huang Qiong looked back and saw that the ghost hadn't caught up, so she said with trepidation.
"No, we're going to help it find Princess Leticia."
"What? Why? It's a ghost, aren't you afraid it will kill us? ”
Huang Qiong became impatient, and her tone became very bad.
"Because I felt it, there was a very clear abnormal fluctuation coming from its body. I think that if we can complete the task it gave us - find Princess Leticia, it will hand over important items to us. ”
"What important items? No matter how important it is, can it be important to have a life? Huang Qiong was anxious, "You kid is really an elm pimple head, how can people make a deal with ghosts?" ”
"If you don't want to, you can go on your own."
Shi Yuan said coldly.
Huang Qiong suddenly opened her mouth and didn't say a word for a long time.
She didn't dare to go by herself at all, so she had to swallow her resentment and continue to follow Shi Yuan with a gloomy face.
In the dark world, there is a midnight scene everywhere.
Leaving the gymnasium, Shi Yuan first returned to the activity center where he had just watched the performance, but it was pitch black and there was no breath at all. It is clear that Princess Leticia – and of course, it must also be a ghost – is not at the center of the activity.
Where will it be?
The "prince" only told them to look for the princess, but did not give them any clues, which was also very troublesome.
"Will there be clues in the paintings?"
Shi Yuan said, taking out his mobile phone to check.
However, at this glance, he was dumbfounded.
I saw that all the characters on the oil paintings I had just taken had a strange change, turning into a skeleton with minced flesh hanging on it, which looked extremely bloody and terrifying. Don't talk about the identity of the characters, that is, they can't tell whether they were male or female when they were alive.
"This ......"
Fang Yisheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Shi Yuan frowned.
The original clothes of the characters on the screen have also disappeared, and the light has become very dim, almost losing its reference value. In this way, even if I didn't photograph all the paintings, it is not a pity.
Fortunately, Shi Yuan has a good memory and has a rough memory of those oil paintings, especially those that contain princesses and princes.
However, the exact whereabouts of Princess Leticia remain a mystery.
"Keep looking at the photos. Even though the characters have changed, the background remains the same. Perhaps, the location of the princess is in the background. ”
Shi Yuan said.
