Chapter 202 Phantom in the painting 05 Different clues in the painting
【Phantom in the picture-05】
The voice from the woman in the painting is extremely harsh. Liu Zhaoqing is not afraid of ghosts and spirits, but this strange voice is drilled straight into his head like an electric drill, making him almost unable to think.
Xu Yishen covered his ears, frowned and asked, "What's the situation? What about Xingwen and the others?"
Qin Miao said: "This painting is not right. You see, the woman in the painting is different from the Mona Lisa we first saw. Since this class is called "Phantom in Painting", could it be... we Came to an illusion space?"
The name of the course and the change in the painting are easily reminiscent of hallucinations. After all, in real-world paintings, the characters in it can't "show" smiles or make weird noises.
Qin "Lu" said: "Sister, what do you mean, we were pulled into the hallucination space, so we cut off contact with Xingwen's group? Then how do we find them?"
Zhuo Feng thought about it carefully and said, "Either we leave here and go back to the original castle to find Xingwen; or Xingwen and the others also come to this space. Otherwise, the two groups of students will be separated by the space until After the exam, there is no way to contact them, in this case, the clues we found and the clues they found cannot be summarized, and the results of the reasoning will be wrong."
Lin Manluo nodded and said, "Perhaps this is the biggest difficulty of the course? Because of the existence of the illusion in the painting, the clues will be scattered in different illusions, and need to be collected separately?"
The six of them looked at each other, Qin Lu rubbed his forehead and said, "But Xu Feixue is not in our group. If strange abstract paintings appear again, what should we do if we can't understand them?"
Liu Zhaoqing said, "Let's take one step at a time. Let me see what the painting is like first."
There were still strange noises around, but Liu Zhaoqing was not at all afraid. He leaned in front of the painting "Mona Lisa" and stared sharply at the woman in the painting. It rose to the corner of her eyes, and then, the lower half of her face suddenly turned into a bloody mouth, like a man-eating monster!
Xu Yishen took a step back in shock, Liu Zhaoqing scolded me in a low voice, "Fuck", and quickly stepped back.
But the woman in the painting did not come out of the painting.
Everyone was on guard, Liu Zhaoqing raised his right hand and conjured a sharp scalpel, which he could shoot out at any time and pierce the opponent's head. However, the woman in the painting still didn't attack them, just smiled at them. The sound that made people's back "hairy" continued to sound in the dark castle, as if entering the scene of a ghost movie.
After a while, Qin Lu said calmly, "She didn't attack us to frighten people."
Qin "Lu" hesitated for a moment, then said, "What should we do next? Continue to look for clues, or to find Xingwen first?"
Zhuo Feng quickly made a decision: "Look for clues. I have a hunch that the clues we encountered may not be the same as the space where Xingwen and the others are located. Since we have come to this illusion, we must first study the meaning of the existence of this illusion. what is."
Zhuo Feng hates to be sloppy when encountering things. The current situation is full of strangeness. If they are in a panic and look for Xingwen everywhere, they may miss a key piece of information.
Liu Zhaoqing nodded in agreement: "Okay, continue to search for other rooms." He looked back at Xu Yishen and said, "Yishen, you just entered that room with mitosis, did you see anything?"
Xu Yishen said: "There seems to be a painting on the wall, but I didn't see it clearly. When I found that Xingwen and the others were not in the room, I immediately retreated because the situation was wrong."
"Painting?" Zhuo Feng paused and said, "Go in and have a look."
The six entered the room and found that it was a studio.
In the middle of the studio is a large white canvas, next to it is a paint tray with rich colors and a few brushes. There are three paintings on the wall, and the style should be oil painting.
In the first painting, there is a very young woman with her hair tied in a bun behind her head, with silver hairpins on top, and a beige yarn on her head. She wears a towel, a string of gemstone necklaces around her neck, and the dress she wears is very delicate. At first glance, she looks like a rich family daughter, elegant and beautiful.
The second painting has a completely different style than the first. If the first one is a realistic portrait, the second one is more expressive. A mother and son are playing on the grass. The blue sky, white clouds, green grass, flowers, and the fresh and bright scenery make people feel relaxed and happy. The woman held a parasol, and a little boy stood beside her. The whole picture seemed to be dynamic, and both mother and child were surrounded by the warm and warm sunshine.
The woman in the third painting has a completely different style from the previous two. Her features are three-dimensional, her hair is tightly attached to her head, she is wearing colorful clothes, and a long black necklace is around her neck. , also held a small animal in his arms.
Liu Zhaoqing touched his chin and walked to the painting, asking, "What animal is this?"
Xu Yishen took a closer look and said, "It should be an ermine, which is different from the white mice used for experiments in our laboratory of the Academy of Biological Sciences. It can be kept as a pet mouse. This painting uses an exaggerated method of painting. Ermine, it's not that big."
Liu Zhaoqing was puzzled: "What do these three paintings represent?"
Others were also at a loss.
Zhuo Feng speculated: "The second picture, the mother and child in the sun, is the hostess and her son of this house? The first picture of a girl wearing a scarf looks very young, a bit like a wedding photo; Three... I don't understand."
Qin Lu said: "I think the three paintings should be the works of three painters, and the styles are quite different. The first one is realistic, like a portrait sketch; the second one is bright in color, a bit like an animation; The three 'colors' are darker and more yellowish." She carefully looked at the three paintings and suddenly said, "By the way, the third painting is a bit like the Mona Lisa hanging in the hallway?"
Qin Miao said calmly: "Perhaps the third painting is also the work of Da Vinci, and the style is indeed similar."
Qin Lu said, "What is the connection between the painting we found in the study next door and this painting?"
Xu Yishen touched his chin thoughtfully: "I know the painting in the next room, it's Van Gogh's classic Sunflower, maybe we can associate it with the black roses in the garden. What is the language of flowers?"
He turned his head to look at Qin Miao, who reported the meaning of the flower language at the time. The latter said calmly, "The black rose symbolizes paranoid love. You are a demon and belong to me."
Xu Yi smiled deeply: "Does Qin Miao have a lot of research on flowers? Do you know what sunflowers represent?"
Qin Miao said: "Sunflowers can also send people who have a crush on them, representing the emotion of 'you are what I want' or 'my eyes are always following you'."
Qin Lu said: "Sister, both sunflowers and black roses can represent love, but the love represented by sunflowers is brighter and brighter, and the love of black roses sounds a little distorted and paranoid?"
Qin Miao nodded: "If you associate two kinds of flowers with the murder that happened in the castle, you can say that. Besides, the garden outside may not necessarily be full of black roses from the beginning. I think, There are few black roses in the gardens in front of normal people's houses, right?"
Xu Yishen said: "So, it is possible that sunflowers were planted in the garden at first, and then the murderer killed someone and buried the body in the garden before planting black roses?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
Zhuo Feng frowned and said: "There is another problem. We didn't have a team on the first floor, and the abstract paintings that everyone saw were the same. After the team was separated, we lost contact. What we saw in the two rooms Is the painting the same as Xingwen and the others? If not, do you have to combine all the clues to reason?"
Lin Manluo nodded: "Yes. Since we can't find Xingwen in this space, what we see may not be consistent with what we see in Xingwen. We have to find a way to join them as soon as possible."
While the hungry people were discussing, the strange noises in the castle kept ringing.
Zhuo Feng frowned and said, "Unfortunately, our team doesn't have Ke Shaobin, so we can't take a small picture of this painting. How can I tell Xingwen's content? Just relying on language description, I'm afraid we laymen will overlook a detail. "
Qin Miao suddenly said: "Take all the paintings we see, copy one and take it away."
Qin Lu's eyes lit up: "Yeah, isn't there a blank paper brush in the studio? Although we can't do it with the fake, it's still possible to draw it!"
Xu Yishen immediately started to work, he picked up a piece of paper and a brush, covered the painting on the wall, and said, "Everyone, hurry up, each copy one, the outline is almost clear, and the color... We are all I don't know how to adjust the 'color', so let's draw a rough outline."
For example, the skin and clothes of the people in the painting are "colored". For people who have never studied art, it is difficult to keep the same as the original painting, but it is still possible to paint it, and then show it to Xu Feixue, maybe she can see it more clues.
Xu Yishen, Liu Zhaoqing and Lin Manluo began to copy pictures quickly.
Qin "Lu" was helping with the tools, she turned her head to look out the window inadvertently, and then her eyes widened in surprise. Qin Miao had a good heart with her, and immediately asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Lu?"
Qin "Lu" pointed downstairs and said, "Sister, look outside!"
Everyone followed her gaze, and Zhuo Feng's face changed: "Is it a sunflower?"
Under the light of the cold moonlight, in the garden outside the castle, it was not a strange black rose, but a large field of sunflowers.
Qin Miao said: "Our speculation may be right. The garden outside this villa was originally full of sunflowers, but unfortunately it was replaced by black roses. Since both kinds of flowers are related to 'love', then the murderer's motive might be Hate because of love, kill the one you love, or kill the rival in love and replace him."
At the same time, Yue Xingwen and his party of seven came out of the study and returned to the entrance.
In the "Mona Lisa" hanging at the entrance, the woman in the painting looked at them quietly, without any change. On the research group channel, Liu Zhaoqing's group still did not reply.
Yue Xingwen looked back at Jiang Pingce and said, "Brother Liu, they haven't come out yet?"
Jiang Pingce said: "It's possible, they won't be able to come out."
Yue Xingwen frowned: "What do you mean, after entering the illusion in the painting, unless you use the escape skill of 'Escape the Golden Cicada', you will be trapped there forever?"
Jiang Pingce was silent for a moment, and said, "This is just my speculation, not necessarily. Let's wait and see here."
