Soul Painter

light snow.

This name reminded Gao Fan of the cute little girl named Yuxue who lived next door.

Then he frowned.

The soul demon, the fourth demon, has never shown traces in front of Gao Fan. Its existence is only defined by the Buddha as a stone tablet made of barnacles. It was once attached to the head of a saber-toothed tiger and sent to Gao Fan by the Buddha. In front of Fan, it is regarded as evidence that Gao Fan completed the system task.

At the same time, she became a "barnacle girl" in the Hall of Thousand Buddhas, and expressed her gratitude to Gao Fan for not killing him. At that time, Gao Fan was only concerned with preparing for a decisive battle with the Buddha, but now he regrets not taking more barnacles from her body, after all This thing is too precious.

Gao Fan currently only has seven of them, and he estimates that each one can be turned into dye, which is only enough to paint one character, and this character is very likely to obtain the real eternal life of the soul...

On the contrary, the three canine teeth left over from the saber-toothed tiger are smaller in number, but each is enough to draw a very large scene. After all, this is the retention of more than 99% of the characteristics of the eternal demon.

In short, the barnacle girl still dares to dangle in front of Gao Fan, isn't she afraid of Gao Fan's "attractiveness"?

Open the picture book in hand.

Gao Fan saw that on the first page, there were a few words written in immature handwriting: "Mom asked me to thank uncle (brother)."

Grass!

Gao Fan cursed.

He threw the drawing book on the ground.

I stood up and turned around in a circle to clear the gas in my stomach, and then continued to watch.

Just these few words made Gao Fan think clearly, the person who lived next door and always brought him dumplings turned out to be a devil!

Mother Xiaoxue is a demon, a soul demon!

As for Xiaoxue, it was the prepared 'shell', and Wang Shiluo was reborn through this 'shell'!

That's why Xiaoxue left a message here, calling Gao Fan an uncle (virtuous brother).

This is really a hidden evil.

It was before Gao Fan received the task of the four demons sent by the system. When Gao Fan painted the mask group, Xiaoxue’s mother lived next to his studio. Eternity and soul have long been linked together. , nor can the Eternal Demon alone do it, it not only involves time, but also includes the forgery of human souls.

In short, Xiaoxue's mother is a soul demon, and Xiaoxue is a shell. They should be arranged by the eternal devil to live next to Gao Fan. Of course, they don't want to become a barnacle girl to clean Gao Fan's studio. They are a guillotine hanging on their heads. The bomb placed under the quilt will kill Gao Fan at some point.

Gao Fan cursed and continued flipping through the album.

What he saw was about the same as what he had guessed.

Some scenes are drawn with childish brushes in the album.

Including the stone tablet mother transformed from a barnacle, the saber-toothed tiger father transformed into a beast, and the villain with black head and black face sitting on a lotus flower - that must be Buddha.

Then the saber-toothed tiger died, and the soul dangled up to the sky. The little girl was holding the soul and crying loudly, while the mother turned into a field of barnacles and surrounded her gently. This scene is really curious.

On the next page, a little girl with barnacles all over her body bends over to thank her—the style of the painting is even more curious.

It should have ended here, but there are extra chapters later.

There is also a title with a few words written outside the article: "Timeline that Didn't Happen".

Gao Fan frowned at the scene outside the chapter, because he saw Xin Wei in the painting, and the word "Xin Wei" above Xin Wei's head in the painting.

The scene is on the second floor of Gao Fan's studio. The large solid wooden table has a sense of presence. Xin Wei's heart is painted with a barnacle, sitting on a chair, and more barnacles are gathered into the shape of a woman. Roaring out of the screen, the little girl is crying on the side.

What's the meaning?

threaten me?

Gao Fan turned another page, and he saw that Xin Wei was lying in blood, and Gao Fan...it should be Gao Fan, the little girl's painting skills are very average, but she thoughtfully marked the artist with the word "Gao Fan" Gao Fan threw himself into the blood, and could see the despair of the characters in the painting.

The barnacles shattered all over the ground, and it seemed that the soul demon was also killed.

But a barnacle quietly appeared on the little girl's forehead.

In the next picture, Lu's pheasant also appeared. Lu's pheasant was painted with two cat's paws. The cat's claws tore up the little girl, and the little girl also fell into the blood.

On top of Lu Zhi's head was not only the word 'Lu Zhi', but also a line of words, like what Lu Zhi said, 'Can I kill her? She is human. '

Obviously, Lu Zhi could, so the little girl was torn apart.

In the next picture, everyone is dead, only Gao Fan and Lu Zhi are left standing in the blood.

In the last picture, Lu Zhi walks away, and Gao Fan kneels on the ground.

The next one is a piece of darkness, with a huge cat and a monstrous fire looming in the darkness. There are only five words on it: 'Civilization is destroyed'.

This is the end.

Read this booklet.

Gao Fan fell into deep thought.

Obviously this is the last confession given to Gao Fan by Eternal Demon and Soul Demon.

The first part is thanks to Gao Fan for letting go of past suspicions.

And the second part, outside the chapter, seems to be another timeline.

Another timeline of what would have happened if Buddha hadn't been involved in the Seven Sages mission?

In that timeline, the soul demon used Xin Wei as a means to threaten Gao Fan, but Gao Fan did not give in, so Xin Wei was killed, Gao Fan and Lu Zhi killed the soul demon, and as a result, part of the soul demon parasitized Xiaoxue. Lu Pheasant and Gao Fan were so jealous that they killed Xiaoxue as well, and then... the next point was what Gao Fan was most puzzled about.

Why does Lu's pheasant kill human beings, which will lead to the destruction of civilization.

This is illogical.

Although absurd, Gao Fan felt that it seemed reasonable.

This is weird.

In addition...Xin Wei will die?

In another timeline that didn't happen, would Xin Wei die?

At this moment, Gao Fan fell into a vortex of great anger, self-blame, shame and other emotions.

"Hello?" At this moment, Lu Zhi's face suddenly appeared in front of Gao Fan, which startled Gao Fan, "What is it that prevents me from reading it?"

"It's not that I don't want you to read it, but I'll read it first." Gao Fan calmed down, threw the album to Lu Zhi, stood up, and said hello: "Let's go!"

When Lawrence heard Gao Fan say this, he was a little surprised: "I don't want to wait for Xin Wei."

"No more." Gao Fan shook his head. When he said this, he only felt pain in his heart, and his nose and eyes began to feel sore, so he repeated, "Let's go!"

As he said that, Gao Fan walked out first. Lawrence saw that Gao Fan was like a child, weeping while walking, and he looked at Lu Zhi in surprise. What is in the album, does Gao Fan look like this?

Lu Zhi spread his hands, indicating that I didn't have time to see it.

"Xin Wei is coming, you have to leave her a message!" Lawrence grabbed Gao Fan's shoulder.

Gao Fan, who had already rushed to the door, slowly stopped in his tracks.

...

Xin Wei originally wanted to wait until after get off work before coming to Gao Fan's studio slowly.

But the more she waited, the more anxious she became, the inexplicable anxiety, the clock seemed to enter a dormant state at four o'clock in the afternoon, every time she looked at it, it would move slowly by only one or two small grids on the minute hand, and Xin Wei's anxious state , also attracted the attention of colleagues.

"Xin Wei, are you not feeling well? Why don't you go home first."

"Okay!" Xin Wei immediately agreed, and rushed out of the company with his bag.

Take a taxi to the studio.

Xin Wei breathed evenly before knocking on the door.

She knew where the key was, but she didn't want to open the door herself.

But no one answered the knock on the door, Xin Wei only felt more and more uneasy in her heart, she took out the key from under the flower pot at the door, opened the door, the studio was empty, there was no one there.

She suddenly felt out of breath.

This is indeed an abandoned storyline.
