I Created Cthulhu In Naruto

Why would such a brilliant painter of realistic horror paint a beautifully framed self-portrait?

What does this self-portrait mean to Pittman?

After walking two steps forward, Sai saw another portrait of a character.

From the recognizable natural curly hair, Sai could tell at a glance that the figure in the painting was still Pittman, and the signature in the lower right corner of the painting also confirmed this.

Pittman's self-portrait, painted 10/22/62.

Judging from the time, this painting was created on the second day after the last self-portrait. Even the little brown suits worn in these two paintings have not changed, and the movements of the characters' hands are almost the same.

However, under careful observation, Sai still found that the Pittman in the self-portrait was slightly different from yesterday.

On Pittman's sitting lap are hands that hang naturally together, and the nails on these hands are obviously overgrown.

Especially the long nails on the middle finger, almost as long as half a finger, look like sharp claws.

If the date on the self-portrait is not falsified, is it possible for the nails on the fingers of ordinary people to grow so long in one day?

And beneath the collar of Pittman's self-portrait, Sai saw some very finely detailed depictions.

It's definitely not the wrong color of the paint and then random sketching and smearing. Sai can feel that the meaning of Pittman's part is that his skin is festering!

Sai swallowed the excessive saliva produced by being too nervous, and then moved on to the next painting.

At the same distance, there is also a beautifully framed self-portrait, the figure on it is still seated in the same posture as the previous two paintings.

It's just that Pittman's skin has already shown amazing festering and peeling off, and the festered and fading skin has a gray rubber-like texture. The normal skin and gray skin on the right half of Pittman's face are mixed together , looks eerie.

And Pittman's expression has changed from the initial calm to a grin in this painting, which is full of a special kind of malice.

Sai didn't know whether it was an artistic process or real existence.

But the self-portrait does have a scarlet glow in Pittman's eyes that is definitely absent from the first two self-portraits.

And this painting was painted on October 23, 1962, which is only one day away from the time of the previous work, which is yesterday at this point in time.

Judging from the frequency of creating a self-portrait a day, the time for the next self-portrait should be today.

However, when Sai continued to walk forward with the kerosene lamp in hand, he did not find the self-portrait on the wall that should have arrived as expected.

It was empty there.

Is it not finished yet?

Sai raised the kerosene lamp a little higher, allowing the light to shine further away.

In the darkness farther away, something seemed to be responding to Sai, and the same faint light appeared in front of him.

Sai stepped forward in two quick steps, only to realize that it was just a mirror hanging on the wall.

Just now Saii was so nervous that he didn't notice the mirror placed deep in the basement.

And in the open space in front of the mirror, Sai saw a camera.

This camera is a box camera that needs to be supported by a tripod. Although the portability is not high, the image quality should be guaranteed.

A piece of red flannelette is covered above the camera, and the flannelette is tightened on the camera by a rubber band so that it is not easy to fall off easily.

This protruding camera placed in the basement adds a lot of mystery to this small space.

Driven by curiosity, Sai put the kerosene lamp on the ground, and stuck his head under the red flannel in a mysterious way.

Under the red flannel, Sai's eyes slowly approached the camera's viewfinder.

What you see in the viewfinder is not the real picture, but the last picture taken by this camera. Since no one switched to the next picture, this old-fashioned camera has always kept the previous picture.

And in this picture, Sai saw an extremely horrifying scene.

The picture here is certainly not a portrait, and rightfully so.

This is a camera that clearly records and truly reflects a scene that once existed.

And most of this scene is very familiar to Sai, this is the basement he is in now.

The basement in the camera is brighter. At that time, the oil in the wall lamp in the basement had not been burned out.

Opposite the camera is a mirror, and the center of the mirror is naturally the unmanned camera facing the mirror.

And in the slightly lower position of the screen, Sai saw what the camera was really trying to capture.

It was an incomparably clear, humanoid monster that was so clear that it seemed to jump out of the picture.

It has pointed ears, claws made of sharp nails, and gray rubbery skin.

And its body was not completely exposed to the air, but was covered with a brown suit that was most likely scratched by sharp objects.

If that brown suit covered Pittman's body, it would give Pittman, who was already somewhat extraordinary, a little more handsome temperament.

But covering this monster, it can only be described as nondescript, or incongruously weird.

wrong!

This scratched brown suit is exactly the one Pittman is wearing in his self-portrait!

And on the humanoid figure in the last shot on the camera, it's not sitting upright like Pickman.

It was lying on the ground stooped like a dog or some other reptile, and its dog-like face was bent down, and under the sharp teeth was some poor person lying on the ground with wide-eyed eyes.

Judging from this relatively secluded location and Pittman's recent arrears of rent, Sai has every reason to believe that the person eaten by the monster is that Peters, who is also the landlord of this house.

The neck that was gnawed bloody and the red meat rolled is not an exciting picture. What is really scary is that Peters who fell on the ground only has one eyeball that is staring wide open.

Peters' other, dubbed "left eye," was a black hole with one or two ocular nerves oozing yellow pus.

As for the orb, which most people call the eyeball, Peters' other eyeball was held in the monster's mouth.

I saw the monster clamping the eyeball with its upper and lower rows of teeth as if holding a cherry for high-end desserts. At the same time, with a "delicate" side face, it looked back at the spotlight that suddenly flashed on the camera .

At this moment, Sai finally understood why Pittman invited Ike to assist in the creation.

It turned out that the last step of the series called "Pittman Self-Portrait" required Ike to assist in composing and shooting, because at this time Pittman was completely unable to maintain his sanity.

This is what Pittman himself knew.

But even without Ike's assistance, Pittman still used his ingenuity to design some kind of mechanism to film this amazing scene for himself at a specific time.

The only fly in the ointment is that the shooting angle of the camera is a bit high. If someone can adjust it slightly downward, the sense of horror in the picture will be even stronger.

But anyway, his great creation was done...

And Pittman's model is himself!

As for the poor man Peters, he is just a living sacrifice in the creation of an artistic work, a sacrifice to show the most real and bloody side of the monster.

And just when the rational thinking in Saii's brain was running at high speed, the slight trembling of his fingers made Saii accidentally touch the button on the camera to take the next picture.

The picture in the camera viewfinder is suddenly refreshed, and it becomes the scene of the real world at this moment.

In the reflection of the dark mirror on the opposite side, Saii saw a crooked gray shadow standing behind him, raising his sharp claws high.
