Chapter 23: The Death of the Mysterious Painter
There is a monster in the entire circle of painters in China!
He is a vagrant-like being, living in a storage room left behind when the tunnel of an old sewer was excavated! It is said that his hair was long like an upside-down root, including his beard!
He seems to like this kind of gloomy basement, and he likes dirty rats, cockroaches, snakes, and insects. Maybe that's part of his inspiration!
Of course, he tried to get out of here, just to show the world the paintings that his gods or demons had given him! However, the only thing that reciprocated him was ridicule and abuse!
But among the people, his paintings are very disseminated and influential! So much so that he couldn't bear to be bothered, and thought of a cunning rabbit three holes to dodge.
Let's talk about his work. His work is based on human beings, deliberately exaggerating the sharpness of the ears, the folds and length of the nose, the piercing light hitting the sharp teeth, the tongue splitting from the middle, and the ends wandering in the whole space!
The characters in these paintings are reproduction, feeding and meditation! His paintings have neither traces of the gods of Eastern mythology, nor the elaborate and excessive body structures of the gods of Western mythology!
He seems to be the creator of gods and demons on his own!
This morning! He eats a box of luncheon meat that he picked up from the trash, as well as a few packets of cookies and a packet of caterpillar bread! Then, he fell into a long sleep! In the dark storage room underground, an oil lamp made of unknown pieces burns calmly!
He entered a strange dream! Deep in an ancient forest! A rabbit is staring straight at him! It wasn't clear to him where he was, in the basement or somewhere in the Great Forest!
The rabbit's eyes told him that it had some kind of longing for him! This desire is not love, nor is it a simple need!
It seemed to swim in his soul! What is it looking for in his soul?
Naturally, he didn't know that there was already a life in this world that was higher than his life texture, and he didn't know that there was a method called soul searching!
Of course, he didn't know what the creatures that appeared in his dreams were all those things!
He couldn't find anyone in this world to talk to, because those people would only treat him as a psychopath, or advise the social worker to send him to a closed psychiatric hospital!
Because of these nightmares, he had to find an exit! So he tried to draw them!
He is a person who has no foundation in painting, but he is so easy to draw these things!
This made him crazy with excitement for a long time! But after a long time, after this madness subsided, he only had mechanical painting!
But these paintings seem to have a mysterious power, so that he will not feel hungry even if he does not eat for dozens of days! And eating seems to have become his spice for a little color in life!
Of course, as a human being, such a closed life will also make him feel tired!
He tried to take out the painting and display it in a corner of the city! Sell!
I don't know why his paintings became popular among the people! Only a few times he saw them being placed in shrines! The incense is vigorous!
This folk pursuit disgusted him! He wants to go to the world stage! But the upper class did not give him any chance at all, just because he was a vagrant like a beggar!
Yes, the rabbit is swimming in his soul at this moment!
She's changing! Turned into a girl, a charming girl! Except for the pair of long pink ears on the top of the head!
She seemed to find something she needed and then she walked towards me!
A quiet afternoon! A woman with a couple of strong men came to the sewers! She wanted to thank this god who lived in the basement!
Thanks to his paintings, her poor hemophilic daughter was completely healed!
They followed the legendary route and found the hidden door!
There is also a faint candle flame inside the door!
The moment the door opened, a foul smell from the decay of corpses rushed out!
Their god-like man was lying naked on the ground, rotting for a long time!
They didn't panic! Packed up all his legacy! Wrap him in huge drawing paper!
When the Special Bureau arrived, there was only an empty room and a roll of rotten flesh wrapped in paper!
The Special Bureau quickly found the woman! Got those mysterious paintings! And I heard about the magic of these paintings in the woman's words!
In her words, these paintings are like living gods! Some can punish evil, penetrate time and space, and bring people back to life!
All this was recorded by the staff of the Special Bureau on video! And brought the painting back to the special bureau with a tough one!
Tough enough to almost get into a violent clash with the inhabitants here!
Fortunately, it was all taken care of!
And this poor painter, the soul has been lost!
Even the most advanced detection of the Special Directorate will not help!
Of course, Wang Wei didn't think it was just a simple murder! But Wang Wei has no better basis for interpreting these paintings!
However, Helan'er was terrified when she saw this! Through her narration, Wang Wei realized the special identity of this painter!
