Chapter 16: Chen Wei's bizarre life story

Since they had seen Chen Wei's kitchen, An Ran and Li Daoyi had no intention of leaving the tea table again.

It wasn't until twenty minutes later that there was a knock on the door.

An Ran got up to open the door, and then only heard a slightly magnetic voice at the door and said, "An Da beauty, what does it feel like to follow the Taoist priest on a mission?" ”

"It's none of your business."

An Ran slammed back unceremoniously, and then spoke: "Team Han, Sister Hongyi." ”

The next moment, Chen Wei saw a very handsome man wearing suspenders. This person has fair skin, a high nose bridge, thick sword eyebrows, and slightly sunken eye sockets, as if he often stays up late, but it adds a little charm to him. Handsome but not girly, quite macerable, it is estimated that few normal girls will not like it. But obviously, Enron is not a normal girl.

The other woman, tall and with a slightly cold face, wore a ponytail that reached her waist. The forehead is fully exposed, and a few strands of sideburns on both sides are sultry, which is completely different from An Ran's short hair.

This woman should be 1.7 meters old, wearing a red off-the-shoulder cheongsam, half-sleeved, and a long skirt that drags to her feet. The flat-soled red embroidered shoes on his feet and a small red pocket fan in his hand, estimated to be a little more than half a foot.

"Leng Yan."

Chen Wei summed up a perfect word for this woman in his heart.

"Yo! Stinky Taoist, are you so comfortable? ”

However, the moment the woman in red spoke, Chen Wei's "cold and glamorous" relied on collapse. The voice and tone of speech broke the appearance of Leng Yan, and the woman's voice was a little sultry, so Leng Yan suddenly became "enchanting".

Li Daoyi said lazily: "Tsk, envy, right?" ”

Li Daoyi has a lazy personality and speaks more casually.

And that's when the Lord really walked in.

I saw that a middle-aged man was definitely not more than forty years old. Wearing black sunglasses, a black woolen coat, a white shirt and a high-capped jazz hat worn by Shanghai bigwigs, it gives people an extremely luxurious feeling.

I only heard him say: "This is Mr. Chen?" ”

Chen Wei had also gotten up and nodded calmly.

The man smiled slightly: "Hello, my name is Hallyu, the captain of the Hunter Administration Bureau in the North Gate District of Tianhuo City, has the Taoist priest told you about the Hunter Administration?" ”

Chen Wei shook his head slightly, neither Li Daoyi nor An Ran fully identified their true identities, and he didn't ask about it. At this moment, as soon as Hallyu opened his mouth, he said it out to the Hunter Administration Bureau without any scruples, obviously he had already regarded Chen Wei as an established member.

An Ran and Li Daoyi were a little surprised, although they guessed that Chen Wei was a natural evolutionary, but there were still too many doubts in this person, shouldn't they investigate it in depth?

At this moment, several people actually looked at Chen Wei with some scrutiny, and the woman in red looked up and down without scruples. And the handsome buddy is relatively obscure, but he is not ready to interject.

Han Wave didn't sit down, but glanced at his watch first, and then Zhengse said: "Chen Wei, you can survive this supernatural event, which is extraordinary in itself. We open the skylight and say that there are many hidden and dark things in this world, and ghosts are just one of them, and magical creatures that are more dangerous than ghosts abound. And the Hunter Authority, is a professional organization dedicated to hunting these monsters. As one of the three leaders of Tianhuo City, I am now officially extending an invitation to you, are you willing to join the Hunter Administration? ”

After the Korean Wave finished speaking, the others all looked at Chen Wei quietly. It is not an easy task to get Hallyu to extend an invitation so bluntly.

It's not that the invitation of Hallyu is not easy, but it is a bit difficult for a person to accept some unknown and mysterious things in this world in a very short period of time.

However, as soon as Hallyu's voice fell, Chen Wei didn't be polite or ask anything, and nodded directly: "Okay." ”

Except for the Korean Wave, the other people were all moved, and Chen Wei's reaction was too calm, and his answer was too crisp, which made them feel a little uneasy.

And Hallyu continued: "Good. On the way here, I have investigated some of your information through official means. So I'm just going to do it routinely and need to ask you a few questions. I won't ask much for other information now, but, since more than two months ago, you have rented a total of three houses in the North Gate District and Pagoda District of Tianhuo City in three days, and the community where these three houses are located has rumors of supernatural events, why? ”

In this kind of mysterious department, the identity background check must be very strict, and if Chen Wei wants to join the official, he knows that some information about himself cannot be hidden.

I only heard Chen Wei say: "I am a painter, you should know that I am a very powerful painter." ”

Hallyu nodded: "Naturally." At the age of 16, you became a member of the National Artists Association, at the age of 18 you became a researcher of the National Academy of Arts, and in the same year you won the Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award from the International Academy of Fine Arts...... It can be said that on the road of painting, you have reached a height that others cannot reach in their lifetime when you are weak. ”

"So powerful?"

Li Daoyi couldn't help but open his mouth, before Chen Wei said that he was an artist, and he did witness the painting in the house, but he had no concept of painting, he only thought about the name of this artist, most likely Chen Wei himself said it. But who knows, this guy is so awesome.

In addition to Li Daoyi, the woman in red also looked at her in surprise, and the handsome guy in suspender pants was leaning against the wall, and she couldn't help but stand up straight.

Chen Wei said: "Painting also needs to break through and transform. As far as painting is concerned, I don't have much to pursue, so I want to see different landscapes in this world. ”

"So you're drawing ghosts?"

This was asked by An Ran, and at this time she agreed with what Li Daoyi said just now, a real artist may have a little problem with his spirit.

Chen Wei glanced at An Ran and smiled slightly: "No, I'm not going to draw ghosts, what I want to paint is the story behind these supernatural events, as well as the emotions and states of the people in the story." I don't know if you can understand that the saying that it is difficult to draw people's skin and bones is actually wrong, and the most difficult thing for people to draw is their thoughts. Especially those distorted, counterintuitive thoughts. ”

When it comes to professional in-depth research, don't forget that Chen Weike is also a researcher, so when Chen Weike talked eloquently, Hallyu was also quite confused, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Enron: "Then why did you suddenly become interested in this kind of supernatural two months ago?" ”

Chen Wei: "I only comprehended it at that time, as for why I comprehended this, I may have seen too many people of all kinds." If you've read my profile, you should know that I'm the owner of a pub and I love to draw in bars. People who drink alcohol will always express something that they don't show on a daily basis. ”

At this time, I only heard Hallyu say: "Okay, this problem is over." I've heard that some changes in your body are from three months ago? ”

"Yes."

"How big of a change is this? Can you describe it? ”

Chen Wei shook his head: "I don't have any concept about this, but I think that in terms of physical fitness, I may have surpassed many world-class professional players." ”

I saw that the eyes of Hallyu and Lee Daoyi were bright, and then they listened to Hallyu: "Okay, I have no problem." An Ran, you arrange a temporary residence for Chen Wei first, and explain to him some comprehensive information about our department. ”

"Okay."

Chen Wei frowned and said, "I have other residences. ”

Hallyu: "Although you have now agreed to join our Hunter Administration Bureau in the North Gate District, after all, you have been involved in the supernatural incident of the Oriental Garden, I'm sorry, after the official appointment, we can't let you move freely, after all, we can't believe that you are here to find inspiration for painting by our own will, can we?" ”

Chen Wei nodded, didn't insist anymore, just said, "I have two things." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at Chen Wei, this person is really unkind, and he dares to make a request?

Hallyu quipped, "As long as you don't leave a ghost behind." ”

Chen Wei: "One is that my paintings must be taken away, how to say, they are very precious, especially the one I am working on now, it is the first painting I transformed, and it is of great significance. ”

Hallyu: "No problem, to be honest, you baby bumps, if they are really broken for some reason, our team may not be able to afford to pay for them." What else? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the Korean Wave in amazement, and said in their hearts, how valuable is that?

Chen Wei: "My taste is a bit special, so my refrigerator and my ingredients have to be taken away." ”

Hallyu nodded: "Yes." Just these two things? ”

Chen Wei nodded, he didn't care about the things here for the time being, and he couldn't take care of it if he didn't wake up. Although I also want to take revenge with my own hands, since there are professionals here to deal with it, it can be regarded as an explanation.

However, he still reminded: "By the way, there is something I think I should remind you, yesterday at noon, someone jumped off the building in Building 18, and I happened to see it when I went home." I don't know if there's anything special behind it, but it's a clue. ”

"Good! This clue is important. ”

After speaking, Han Wave looked at everyone: "Okay, everything that needs to be said is finished, An Ran, take Chen Wei away, and arrange some professional people to pack these paintings and refrigerators and ......."

……

It wasn't until Chen Wei left that Li Daoyi immediately spoke: "No, Lao Han, even if he is an artist, are his paintings so expensive?" Our team can't afford to lose money like this? ”

The handsome guy also said: "I also think it's a bit outrageous, Team Han, what is the identity of this kid, you won't tell us on the way here." ”

Hallyu paused and said: "Chen Wei, 24 years old, his parents died when he was young, and he was in the starting point orphanage until he was 13 years old. Because he suffered from pica and was isolated for a long time, he fell in love with drawing and showed extraordinary talent. Later, he was adopted by Zhao Jing, an art master of Qingliu University, and published a picture album of "Insect Fantasy" at the age of 15, but because the painting was too visually impactful, it was later banned from circulation, but the edition fee was not bad, as high as more than 800,000 yuan. The following year, with a painting "People Looking Up at the Starry Sky", he shocked the art world, guess how many pictures of this painting were taken? ”

Li Daoyi: "If you want to say that, it must be very expensive." ”

Hallyu: "A painting by a 16-year-old boy fetched a sky-high price of 12 million, and the boy became famous, but that's it." ”

Woman in Red: "He actually sold it?" ”

Hallyu: "I sold it, and I donated it." ”

Hallyu continued: "When Chen Wei was seventeen years old, Zhao Jing died unexpectedly due to a heart attack. Because it was too late to leave a suicide note, the family property was divided among Zhao Jing's children. Chen Wei wanted a home, not money, and he had never had a good relationship with Zhao Jing's children, so he was displaced again. At the age of eighteen, a painting of "Beloved" made him famous again, for which he was awarded the Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award by the International Academy of Aesthetics. Someone sold this painting for 32 million, but he didn't sell it, but donated it to Qingliu University, and it is still hanging in the school......"

Woman in Red: "It's quite individual. ”

Hallyu also exclaimed: "Probably because of Zhao Jing's death and the competition for family property of Zhao Jing's children, since "Beloved", Chen Wei left the imperial capital and came to Tianhuo City, where his biological parents are said to have lived, and his painting style has also begun to change, focusing on depicting characters, especially the dark side of human nature, so he specially opened a bar to facilitate his own painting...... That's about it. ”

"Wow! So, we not only recruited a team member, but also an art master? If this thing hangs up on a mission, will we have to feel a little guilty? ”

The handsome guy sighed.

Woman in Red: "This is the path he chooses, and people always have to pay for their choices." Alas, are all his paintings in this house? ”

Li Daoyi: "What's wrong with the inside?" ”

Woman in Red: "Take pictures!" ”

Hallyu hurriedly said: "You have to respect other people's privacy, don't post on Moments, you can only watch it yourself." ”

Woman in Red: "I understand. ”
