"Let's go." Shellis glanced at Chen Xi and seemed to say, are the three of us still afraid of her?
Chen Xi thought about it for a while, and greeted Amut. But his gaze fell on a painting opposite.
The painting depicts the Virgin Mary in a blue robe sitting with a baby in her arms, which is supposed to be Jesus. Uriel sat across from Maria, also carrying the baby in her arms, which was supposed to be John the Baptist. Strangely, the painting is counterintuitive, showing John blessing Jesus, not Jesus blessing John...... Jesus is subservient to John's authority!
To add insult to injury, Maria is shown with one hand on John's head and the other in a threatening gesture, her fingers looking like eagle talons, as if grasping the head of an invisible person. The most obvious and creepy image is that of Uriel beneath Maria's crooked fingers, making a slashing gesture as if to chop off the invisible head that Maria had grabbed from the neck.
"This is Our Lady of the Rocks?" Chen Xi had heard of this very controversial painting, although not as famous as the Mona Lisa, but it was also one of Leonardo da Vinci's famous paintings.
Madonna of the Rocks was originally an altarpiece commissioned by Leonardo da Vinci for the chapel of the church of San Francesco in Milan, commissioned by the Pure Remembrance Charitable Society. The nuns determined in advance the dimensions and themes of the paintings: the Virgin Mary in the cave, John the Baptist, Uriel and the infant Jesus. Although Leonardo da Vinci did as they requested, when he handed in the painting, it caused a panic in the charity society. The painting is full of controversial and disturbing details.
Later, in order to comfort the charity society, Leonardo da Vinci painted a second painting of "Our Lady of the Rocks", which was arranged in a more orthodox way. The second painting, now in the National Gallery in London, is titled Maria from the Rocks.
Chen Xi didn't expect that this painting was actually hanging opposite the "Mona Lisa"! He's leaving now, and he thinks it's too polite to take just one Mona Lisa, at least a little bit of foil! But I didn't have time and opportunity to look for other things, so I had to look at what other good things were in this exhibition hall, but I didn't expect that there was a painting of "Our Lady of the Rocks" hanging opposite.
"Anyway, take it!" Chen Xi was a little excited and said in a low voice.
"What?" Shellis hadn't figured it out yet.
Chen Xi's body shot out, and when he got to the opposite side, the frame of "Our Lady of the Rocks" was much larger than that of "Mona Lisa", but it was obviously not as precious as "Mona Lisa", so there was no bulletproof glass cover.
However, although its canvas is made of fiber, it is actually unbreakable because of the protective layer worth six million dollars on the outside. It can also be seen that it is worth a lot!
Chen Xi quickly put away "Our Lady of the Rocks", and Amut and Shellis came behind him.
Amut muttered: "It's so cunning, it's so greedy, at first it was a fake and serious thing to say no, but now it's not satisfied with taking one!" β
Chen Xi laughed, "I didn't move them all, I'm already very honest." I'm not very greedy, let's go! β
Mother Lisa saw that they did not follow, and walked back quickly, "A few distinguished friends, should we hurry up, or we will be in trouble!" β¦β¦ Oh...... Oh, my God! She apparently found out that Our Lady of the Rocks was missing.
Chen Xi smiled and said, "Okay, Mama Lisa, you won't mind if I take one more painting, right?" Let's go now! β
Sister Lisa shrugged her shoulders, smiled reluctantly, didn't say anything, and hurriedly led them deeper into the corner.
Coming to the innermost corner of the exhibition hall, Sister Lisa lifted a hidden curtain and a small door appeared.
"Mama, how do you know there's a secret door here?" Shellis couldn't help but say suspiciously.
Sister Lisa led them inside, passing through a narrow passageway.
"It's a toilet for the people in the Louvre, I've been here many times, and once a member of the museum staff took me here." Sister Lisa whispered.
At this time, they had come to an end, and what appeared in front of them were two toilets, men and women.
"Come over here." Mama Lisa led them into the women's bathroom.
Amut didn't know anything, and Chen Xi was a little embarrassed when he entered the women's bathroom.
When we got to the women's bathroom, Mama Lisa walked to a small window and said, "It's a big road from here, and there shouldn't be a police blockade for the time being, and this window won't be difficult for us." β
Amut walked over and pulled hard, pulling the entire window out, and an exit appeared in the wall.
Chen Xi went over to take a look and saw that it was more than ten meters high, and there was a street with cars coming and going.
"Go down!" Chen Xi asked Shellis and Mama Lisa to go down first, then Amut, and finally to go down herself.
At the bottom, Chen Xi laughed, at this time, the front should be crowded with police, right? What kind of organization is this Xunshan Hermitage Society? Will it be easier for them to find themselves?
After finding a taxi, Chen Xi and the others prepared to go back to the hotel. However, he didn't want this Sister Lisa to follow him, and said politely: "Mama Lisa, thank you very much for bringing us out, but maybe we won't stay in France for long, so we don't need your help for the time being." β
Lisa knew that they had taken the Mona Lisa and would definitely leave the country as soon as possible, so she nodded, "Mr. Chen, where will you go next?" I can inform the local Orthodox Catholics to help take care of you. β
Chen Xi was a little unhappy in his heart, are you helping or surveillance? He said lightly: "No need, I haven't planned it yet." You can tell Pastor Plato not to keep an eye on me, but to reach me when he needs me. β
Mother Lisa couldn't say anything more, she fumbled out a pamphlet from the nun's robe, and whispered: "This is what Plato Priest has asked me to pass on to you, and there is a map of the branches of the European powers, you can refer to it." β
Chen Xi accepted the booklet, and then thanked him and got into the car, and the grandmother kept watching them leave in the car.
Back at the hotel, Chen Xi was very excited and wanted to take out the "Mona Lisa" to enjoy it up close.
"Are you crazy? If the news gets out, it's going to be a big trouble, what's the hurry? Shellis scolded coquettishly, stopping Chen Xi's impulse.
Chen Xi had no choice but to find the booklet given by Lisa's grandmother, opened it and read it with Shellis, and was shocked in her heart as she read it.
These Orthodox Christians have indeed groped for information very clearly, and the pamphlet lists which places are the spheres of influence of which people according to the current national territory. Including vampires, werewolves, dark wizards, Catholicism, Judaism, Islam and many other powers.
Plato gave me such a precious piece of information, is it considered a little investment? Chen Xi smiled secretly, if they wanted to take this as part of the reward, they would not agree. However, this booklet is really useful, and it will make it easy to find the forces you are looking for.
Shiris just looked through it with Chen Xi, and she was a little worried, "What should we do now?" Do you want to leave? Why don't we go back to New York now? Nobody thought of it. β
Chen Xi shook his head, "No, we don't leave now, I still have to stay in Europe." β
"Why stay in Europe?" Shellis was a little puzzled, "Working with those Orthodox Christians?" What's in it for us, might as well go back to New York, or go back to China? β
Chen Xi hugged Xuelisi and said softly: "We originally wanted to take a romantic trip, but these stops are full of dangers, I'm really sorry." β
"It's okay, it's a little dangerous and more exciting, but if you travel all the time, it might be even more boring." Shellis smiled comfortingly.
Chen Xi suddenly smiled slyly, "Then let's continue the adventure, okay?" β
"Where else are you going to venture?" Shellis's eyes widened.
"London. We came to Paris, but we didn't go to London, which was a bit of a waste of travel money, and it was impossible to go to England next time. β
"What's so interesting about Britain, it's just a small island nation." Shellis said a little reluctantly.
Chen Xi laughed, "No, it's still fun, you see, isn't it marked that there are a lot of vampires in the UK?" That's not fun! β
Shellis was taken aback, "You're going to mess with those vampire families?" Forget it, they are not easy to mess with! β
"It's not that I'm going to provoke them," Chen Xi said lightly: "It's they who refuse to let me go." If you think about it, Mother Lisa has been able to find our whereabouts so quickly, let alone those killer organizations? They are definitely tracking us down as well and will find us soon. These are the killers hired by the Hilco family, and of course I want to go to England to thank them. β
Shellis hesitated for a moment, and persuaded in a low voice: "Forget it, if you go to trouble the Hilco family, you will definitely offend other families." Didn't the Orthodox priest say that the Silker family had the support of the other families. β
"We're going to have to solve this problem, right? It's impossible to keep the killer staring at us in the back with a cold gun. Chen Xi comforted and said: "Don't worry, we will act when the opportunity arises, and there may not be conflicts." β
Shellise was still very worried.
Chen Xi called the hotel's customer service and asked for help booking three tickets to London. Before it was time to take off, Chen Xi and Cheris went to the famous Champs-ΓlysΓ©es in Paris for a stroll. However, due to the theft of the Mona Lisa, there are many more police officers on the street.
To Chen Xi's surprise, such a hot news was not immediately reported by the media, and the media said that the Louvre had been attacked by unknown people, temporarily closed all exhibition halls, and did not say anything about the theft of the Mona Lisa. It seems that they were suppressed by the authorities, which also shows that they tried to quietly find the painting back as soon as possible, but it is not known what they did with the tourists in the exhibition hall.
That night, Chen Xi and the others left Paris and headed for London. The first time he took a plane, he made Amut half to death, he was very surprised that such a big guy could fly with so many people, what kind of skill does it take?
