Chapter 014: Since You Asked Sincerely
The paper man was slightly stunned:
"You're so smart that you guessed so easily."
It relaxed a little against Hattori Maki's breath oppression.
It seems that she is a smart person.
Maybe you can talk about art?
No, no, no.
The Paper Man hastened to dispel this idea.
It has now been exposed, and Musashino and Hattori Maki must be dealt with before they can cause more trouble.
The Survival Zone is different from the wasteland, and the extraordinary power here is unfathomable, and if a strong person arrives, no one can come to it.
"That's true, but I don't have time to make small talk to you......"
"It's okay."
Musashino suddenly spoke.
He raised his wrist.
Well, well, I didn't have an electronic watch.
"I have plenty of time, so I'll give you five minutes to tell you about your life history."
Although this wasteland creature is not weak, it is much stronger than the Strange Gas, but Musashino roughly estimates that it should not be very difficult to defeat on his own.
Let's hear about his experience.
What a normal human being has experienced to become like this?
Isn't it much more interesting than the red and white song meeting and the Spring Festival Gala cross talk?
The Paper Man paused, it had never heard such a strange request.
It scrutinized Musashino.
Hey?
This boy's breath is so weak, like a soul without a shell.
Maybe......
Is it because the body is too weak and the strength is too weak?
Am I still afraid of you?
The paper man raised his chin high:
"Since you asked sincerely, then I will tell you with great mercy."
Whew-
Maki Hattori secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She believes that Musashino is trying to find a way to delay time and wait for rescue.
And it worked.
She quietly gave a thumbs up
Musashi-san, well done!
However, Maki Hattori's spirit quickly regained tension:
Musashi-san's strength should be stronger than mine, but even he didn't have the idea of fighting, and he chose delaying tactics without hesitation, which shows that ......
The enemy is too strong for him to overcome!
What to do?
How do I send a distress signal with such a large wasteland creature staring at me......
At this time, the paper man spoke:
"Actually, you should know me."
Its arms spread out to form a blank sheet of paper, on which oil paint quickly sketches a lifelike portrait.
"That's what I was like when I was human."
Painting.
He is a handsome young man.
He has unkempt shoulder-length hair, and he looks very artistic.
After Maki Hattori carefully identified it, he covered his mouth in surprise:
"You......
"You are the deceased painter who created Tokyo Folding, Shinichiro Sasaki!"
The paper man bowed slightly.
Musashino glanced at the information bar next to "Tokyo Folding".
The author's photo is exactly the same.
"Shinichiro Sasaki.
"Now that you're dead, why did you become like this again?"
It shouted loudly:
"Shut up!
"Put away your disgust, it is my supreme honor to be able to become a noble superior being, to throw yourself into the arms of the wasteland!"
After the excitement, the paper man looked back on his life with a sense of loss:
Shinichiro Sasaki.
Before his death, he was a painter that no one cared about.
He has been obsessed with creation for many years, but unfortunately the elaborate works are never bought.
Later, the teacher taught him:
Try to change your habits.
It takes a year to sell a work that is painted in one day, but if it takes a whole year to create a work, it may be sold in one day.
Speaking of which.
The paper man laughed self-deprecatingly:
"At that time, I actually believed the teacher's words."
Shinichiro Sasaki is very obedient and really spends a whole year creating a painting.
Outcome......
Still no one buys it.
Musashino grinned: It seems that it's okay not to drink poisonous chicken soup indiscriminately.
"Then one time, I went to an oil painting class as usual.
"The result......
"I was outside the door and overheard my favorite teacher, who laughed at me with the rest of his classmates, saying that I was the stupidest student he had ever met!!"
The Paper Man trembled violently.
A large amount of thick, bright red pigment descended from it.
And then, the tragedy of Shinichiro Sasaki really began:
Depressed, he chose to drop out of school.
For three years, he locked himself in his studio all day long, and used all his inspiration and ability to create a huge oil painting:
Tokyo Fold
During this time, he exhausted all his savings.
Eventually, Shinichiro Sasaki died of illness and collapsed in front of the easel of "Tokyo Folding".
After a pause, the paper man continued:
"But I'm lucky.
"A powerful being has given me the opportunity to take refuge in the wasteland, and my brain cells have fused with the paint of Tokyo Fold to become what I am now."
Maki Hattori's eyes suddenly widened:
"What did you say!"
Something powerful?
Shinichiro Sasaki, it wasn't an accidental mutation, but was artificially transformed into a wasteland creature!
This matter is very serious.
Turning normal human beings into wasteland is an act that provokes the laws of the living area and even the fundamental order of human society!
Once discovered, it must be ruthlessly eliminated.
Maki Hattori narrowed his eyes:
"Who is it that helped you transform into a wasteland?"
The paper man snorted disdainfully:
"It's you, you don't deserve to know."
Hearing this, Maki Hattori's smart sunglasses have been successfully searched, showing the breed and specific information of this wasteland creature in front of her eyes:
【Wasteland Creatures Archive】
The name of the painting is Van Gogh
Level D+
Number: 01-14732
Introduction
Usually formed by the fact that the properties of pigments are changed after being irradiated and the nerve cells of animals are absorbed, some scholars have named them "thinking pigments".
Capability
"Van Gogh in the painting" has a living character, and its pigment part is highly corrosive, and can actively melt animals into a liquid and absorb them.
At the same time, it is good at evading, escaping, and regenerating, and usually exists in the form of works of art, which is extremely difficult to find.
The original "Van Gogh in the painting" is suspected to have been accidentally mutated by a painter who bought inferior paints.
Maki Hattori quietly browsed through the materials.
Damn......
What's the use of just introducing basic information without saying what weaknesses it has?
Musashino looked up and asked:
"Are you finished?"
Shinichiro Sasaki is indeed a poor man.
"But no matter how pitiful you are, you shouldn't take the initiative to become a wasteland creature and eat those innocent tourists and security guards for no reason."
In the painting, Van Gogh was furious:
"You...... Teach me how to do things? ”
Musashino's tone was too bland, as if he had written the last comments on his life lightly.
It hates this kind of thing the most!
It's like those afterthought fools who ignored him when he was alive, but now he is crazy about "Tokyo Folding".
"Innocent?"
Its body swells dramatically:
"The tourists I ate were all fools who slandered my work!
"As for the security guard just now......
"When he was patrolling during the day, he even said that my drawings were rubbish, and he could paint them if he was given a pen, so I asked him to ask, can he or can't?"
Roar –
More and more paint flowed, and Van Gogh in the painting completely entered a state of rage:
"You two......
"It's an honor to be my paint today!"
