Soul Painter

The capital of Siam has a long name:

"The city of the gods, the great city, the abode of the Emerald Buddha, the impregnable city, the world metropolis blessed with nine jewels."

The locals call it "Tenjin Castle" for short.

The king controls everything in the world in the Grand Palace of Tenjin City.

This 210,000-square-meter palace has a supreme status in the minds of the Siamese people.

Now, it has changed owners.

Of course, not all members of the Siamese government organization are in favor of this regime change, using 'disapproval' or a bit neutral, they are actually 'shocked', 'outraged' and 'resolutely opposed'.

It's just that the king used his power to release news to the outside world, completing the regime change. Fortunately, Siam is a constitutional monarchy.

The Prime Minister of Siam, Bakong, was waiting in the Grand Palace.

The royal family lived in another palace most of the time, where government affairs were handled.

His confidential secretary, Suphan, softly reported to him the attitudes of various countries towards this incident, summed up as 'I don't know what you are going to do but can you still be stable? ’, or ‘Do you need military help? ’, ‘Is economic intervention necessary? ’, ‘Will foreign policy change, will it change our cooperation, will it affect our investment in your country? '

This is bad. An unstable country will discourage cooperation among many countries and cause capital flight. Bagong needs to know what is going on and whether it can be redeemed.

"We can use the army if necessary," Suphan said. "There is a whole army of armed guards outside."

"It's not necessary, she's just one person." Bagong shook his head.

"She is not alone..." Suphan's voice was a little mysterious.

At this time.

Footsteps sounded.

A procession of maids and guards filed in, and then she entered.

She was wearing a white monk's robe inlaid with gold, or maybe it was a monk's robe. Wearing open-toed wooden shoes, Bagong felt that overall, her attire at the moment was more like a female character in a certain movie, Cleopatra.

This dress is not suitable for a king, especially a king who is a monk.

Behind her, the previous king also followed, following suit, obviously feeling that his status was lower, and he showed no resignation, only serving the Buddha with the same piety.

Looking at the mental state of the former king, Ba Gong felt a chill in his heart, this is not right...

"You..." Ba Gong was about to speak.

"I know what you're going to say." A voice rang in his ears.

It was a female voice, full of compassion.

But she in front of Bagong didn't speak!

"Don't panic, since you are honest with me, you will naturally get good results." She smiled, "But the person next to you is a rebel from the Buddha Kingdom."

There was still no opening, only the sound of Buddha resounded in Bagong's ears.

Ba Gong's shocked expression gradually changed into a kind of piety like the previous kings, like water should return to the sea, and believers should also be faithful to the Buddha.

His confidential secretary, Suphan, frowned first, and then quietly took out a feather from his pocket. The feather suddenly caught fire, smoked, and became scorched black right in front of his eyes.

wrong!

He turned around suddenly to run, and at the same time shouted: "Ready to attack!"

boom!

The gate of the palace was pushed open, and a group of soldiers who had been ambushing there for a long time aimed at her in the palace with weapons in their hands.

She opened her arms with a compassionate smile on her face, and the mysterious power surged in the palace, which directly acted on the thoughts of these pious Buddhas. In other words, this is not a mysterious change to the human mind, but just a call Then the muzzles of those guns suddenly moved, all aiming at Suphan.

Suphan immediately stood there, not daring to move, because he saw Sen Leng's killing intent in the eyes of these soldiers, and they would pull the trigger immediately.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

Footsteps sounded behind him.

"The investigator of the Nine Angels?" She spoke for the first time, and the Zen sound in her mind could not reach the hearts of the heathen.

"Yes." Suphan turned around slowly.

Facing her, I realized that she was very tall, and her skin was so white and flawless that it was sacred. Standing in front of her, one could smell a strange fragrance. When hearing her voice, it seemed that exquisite music played in her ears at the same time. The signs are not like demons, not like alien gods, but like a real human saint.

"What are you?" Suphan couldn't help asking.

"I am Tathagata," she said.

When she said this, it was as if a mysterious Sanskrit sound came down from the dome of the palace. Everyone around her, including the king's prime minister's attendants and soldiers, all knelt down piously, and Suphan's knees softened, almost kneeling on the ground. On the ground, but he desperately told himself, this is not a Buddha, this is a demon!

"I won't kill you, of course, it's not that I can't kill you, but you have to go back and tell those nine nosy old men, don't get in my way, otherwise, I'll pull out all their hairs and put them in the Roast duck in the oven!" she said, "Now, get out of my country!"

Suphan, an investigator of the Nine Angels, was expelled from Siam and could not return to Siam for life, otherwise he would be sentenced to death.

...

Suphan's report was quickly distributed by investigators including STK, Gravedigger, South Thirteenth District, Lachette's Children, etc. through the Nine Angels.

At the end of the report, Mr. Luc Villiers, the "angel of time" among the nine angels, added:

"This incident may be assessed as a threat that is about to sweep across the world. I personally judge that 'Monk Wang Qinfan' is not an unknown demon spokesperson, but the real 'Great Existence: Tathagata'.

Based on this judgment, old friends, can you understand what kind of threat we will face? To counter this threat, perhaps after 1999, we will have to join forces again.

Here I specifically point out that STK's trainee investigator Gao Fan, known as the 'painter', is very likely to be related to this pollution incident. His work "Buddha" on display was displayed during a fire in New York City Out of a mysterious form very similar to the 'Monk King' Qinfan.

For this reason, I strongly request STK to explain this. If the "Buddha" is a source of pollution, and the "monk king" is another, when they are combined in one place, there is no doubt that it will bring pollution to human society. A terrible disaster is coming, therefore, as the most powerful STK in the investigator organization, based on the human standpoint, it must also come up with a countermeasure. "

When the letter from the Nine Angels reached various investigator organizations, they received mixed reactions. Although Luc Villiers stated the matter was extremely serious in the letter, there is no point in any organization that can be called the crisis of destroying humanity. How to deal with it? So, they just keep cautious attention.

Only STK responded to the letter to the Nine Angels. The content of the letter is very simple. It is an invitation letter for Christie's winter auction. In the invitation letter, one of the themes of this Christie's auction is the new work "Buddha" by the painter Gao Fan.
