Soul Painter

What is 'sense of presence'?

Gao Fan understands fame, fame and the like.

If Gao Fan loses his influence and loses his aura as a master of oil painting, then he is nothing more than a lunatic who is always whimsical and has no ability to take care of himself.

Can the Nine Angels deprive Gao Fan of his fame?

What a joke.

Gao Fan's fame is created one by one by him, and the miracles of the "Mask" art exhibition and "Bostonians" are rendered one after another. How can the nine angels, He De, take these away from Gao Fan?

Gao Fan didn't take the threat of Luc Villiers seriously.

Gao Fan is not afraid of realistic means.

Gao Fan is not afraid of mystery, backed by the silver key, Gao Fan has always been invincible in the mysterious field.

However, he still asked STK about the background of Luc Villiers, that is, what is the mystery behind him.

"Luc Villiers is the 'Angel of Time' among the nine angels, also known as 'Timele'. He claims to master the secret of time. He should have a command spell that can affect time in his hand. Not clear, as for the mystery behind him and the source of the command spell, it may be 'XXXXX'."

When he said 'XXXXX', the operator's voice was muted, and Gao Fan only heard the white noise of 'Didi Didi Di'.

"The personality of XXXXX is equal to XXX. The nine angels should hold a law called 'Apocalypse' in their hands. This law is one of the incarnations of XXXXX. There are countless incarnations of XXXXX, each of whom is extraordinary and powerful. huge."

Gao Fan's ears were almost pierced by the beep.

Although it is known that this is a confidentiality measure to protect the investigators, it would be too weird to directly silence the conversation like this.

Rubbing his ears, Gao Fan still felt weird, not because of the Nine Angels, but because of the existence of the investigator organizations.

"It's an extraordinary organization that was born and continued by relying on the great existence, but its mission is to prevent the great existence from coming. Don't they, or you, feel awkward?" Gao Fan asked.

"STK is not an organization that relies on a great existence. Although we have gathered many extraordinary investigators, the president who founded us is an undoubted human being, and he is a human being who has defeated a great existence." The operator said, "Plus, he's paying a lot of attention to you."

"I remember you said before that STK was founded in 1934, and the founder is still alive? Isn't that over 100 years old?" Gao Fan was surprised.

"To be precise, it is 123 years old." The operator said, "The president told me that if he is mentioned when we talk, then he will say hello to you on his behalf and say that you can do your own thing with peace of mind. Support yours."

"Mm, um... okay, thank you." Gao Fan nodded, this inexplicable sense of trust is a bit inexplicable.

Although very inexplicable.

But it did succeed in making Gao Fan forget about the threat of the Nine Angels.

Another week in the hospital.

Gao Fan felt he had recovered.

But doctors still refused to let him go.

Gao Fan was bored and looked out the window at Boston.

Wisps of smooth rain slapped on the window.

Entering June, Boston has entered the rainy season again. The humid climate makes it rain every few days, but the weather clears up quickly, and the sky is blue again in a blink of an eye.

Lawrence just came here and brought news from the Metropolitan Museum. The museum believes that the Demon School exhibition has been there for nearly two months, and there are still only three paintings. If there are no new works, it will end. The SAN value of income has also entered a period of low ebb, with only a few dozen points per day. It seems that everyone's enthusiasm for new works by painters has passed.

At the same time, another voice began to surface, that is, the incomprehension of the direction of innovation chosen by Gao Fan. The painter who returned to classicism gave up his sharp brushstrokes and began to use brushes to please ordinary people. Lovely works of art, but these voices believe that the value that painters provide to the art world has declined.

Gao Fan didn't care about these noises, but Lawrence couldn't help but care, because the most direct impact was that the "Mask" series paintings in his hands could no longer be sold. To be honest, in Lawrence's cognition, the valuation of 80 million to 100 million US dollars, It also exceeded Gao Fan's market conditions. Now, a blind pursuit has begun to cool down.

The enthusiasm brought about by the opening of the "Strongest on Earth" art exhibition made Lawrence sell two paintings, but now, they can't be sold.

Lawrence believes that if he wants to maintain his value, Govan probably needs to create another great work like "The Bostonian" that has a worldwide influence.

For other painters, if they want to maintain their social status, they only need to create "masterpieces", while Gao Fan must continue to be "great", because his social status is several times or even ten times that of other masters.

"Why don't you draw The New Yorker?" Lawrence suggested.

Hehe~ Gao Fan expressed his attitude with a smile.

Lawrence is working hard on Gaofan, and Gaofan understands his good intentions, but Lawrence is really eager for quick success. After the last auction at Christie's, both of them realized that the price was unreasonable. We must be careful of the backlash of the market, but Lawrence chose to take the opportunity to sell a few more paintings, bringing more income to Gao Fan.

Lu Guoying scolded Lawrence for this, saying things like 'full of copper stink' did not wake Lawrence up.

The most direct result now may be that Gao Fan's paintings are in an embarrassing situation where there is no market, unless Gao Fan can create a great miracle that is not inferior to "Bostonian" again and again, but without demon dye, What did Gao Fan use to create miracles?

Although Gao Fan doesn't care about income, he cares about people coming to see his paintings and providing him with SAN value.

So, he had to go out and paint.

The reason for this decision.

It was because one day, behind Anna who was peeling an apple, Gao Fan saw Gao Zhengdao.

Gao Zhengdao leaned against the wall, throwing an ancient bamboo scroll up and down in his hand.

This 'Jin', covered in dirt, seemed to have just emerged from a tomb.

"Why are you here?" Gao Fan looked up at him and asked.

ah? Anna looked up and turned her head, but she saw everything, and realized that Gao Fan was talking to 'himself' again.

"Look what is this? Freshly unearthed~" Gao Zhengdao said with a smile, and at the same time showed Gao Fan the ancient scroll in his hand.

Gao Fan saw that there were three compilations on the cover of the ancient scroll, which were still Dazuan. Gao Fan had learned this kind of script in calligraphy class at school. Although he was a scumbag and didn't know what these three characters were, he was inspired.

"Tao Te Ching?" Gao Fan was surprised.

At the same time, the old man in white clothes with high forehead and hair like a white fairy emerged from the inspiration.

The old man who was once seen in the ancient ice source of the eternal demon.

"I?" Gao Fan asked again.

"Yes, the fifth sage." Gao Zhengdao said triumphantly, "I dug it from the old place of the Three Qin Dynasty~ I dug it for half a month!"

"Bull!" Gao Fan gave a thumbs up. He can steal museums on the ground and dig antiques underground. This law is simply invincible~

"But I don't even know what the fifth sage is? Where did you get the clue?" Gao Fan thought it was amazing.

"Four of the seven sages have appeared, and the remaining three can escape from my palm? The eternity devil's horse's feet are getting exposed more and more." Gao Zhengdao was triumphant, "After a little speculation, you will know where it is. .”

After a little deduction, it took half a month to dig, but the shovel is better than the brain... Gao Fan thought.

At this moment, Anna inexplicably saw that an ancient scroll suddenly appeared in Gao Fan's hand, and the apple she had just peeled had disappeared.
