By now, the basic characteristics of the relic oil paintings have been roughly understood by the priests Shade and Augustus.
The house model in the oil painting will be consistent with the real house, and when the people in the house come into direct contact with the oil painting, puppets corresponding to the people in contact will appear in the oil painting.
The puppet has its own instinctive wisdom and will actively escape from the murderer in the model house. The movement of the puppet depends on the location of the real person. When the real person is in the house, the puppet can only move within the building corresponding to the house; when the real person is not in the house, the puppet
Most likely it was a random move.
The Bandage Killing Puppet will continue to chase other puppets in the oil painting, and the injuries to the puppets will be directly reflected on people in real life, eventually leading to the death of real people in reality. I am afraid that the truth about Mr. Freeman's death after falling from the building is that the puppet corresponding to him in the oil painting
After half a month of pursuit, the puppet was finally killed by the bandage puppet.
Ordinary people will forget about oil paintings after being exposed to oil paintings. Later, they will occasionally see the phantom of a bandage puppet in reality, and suffer mental torture in dreams, causing mental problems.
The only possible containment method currently known is to let the painting itself leave the house, which an ordinary person, Mrs. Freeman, once did.
After Mr. Freeman's death, the oil painting can be taken out of the real building without any corresponding puppet in the oil painting house model. However, once it is taken out of the real building, it is not possible to touch the oil painting inside the building.
, thus creating the conditions for puppets to appear in the house model in the oil painting.
It's just that it's impossible for Shad and the Freeman boy to commit suicide now, so this method cannot be tried.
In fact, Shade also has an idea, which is to demolish the house in reality, so that the corresponding building will be lost in the oil painting. But Shade is not sure whether this will cause other strange changes to the relics, such as a bandage puppet directly breaking through
Limitations of the house model. So, this idea is only a final consideration.
Just now, the five people hurriedly came to the street together, which had attracted the attention of passers-by. After Shade, Mrs. Freeman and Little Freeman returned to the house, they confirmed that the bandage puppet was still far away from the first floor in the oil painting.
Some distance away, Shade said to the priest outside the door:
"Priest Augustus, take the girl to Dr. Schneider's clinic and let the doctor take care of her first. If Dr. Schneider has time, ask him to come over. Although I already have some ideas, safety comes first. To deal with this
No amount of caution is enough when planting something.”
Mrs. Freeman also agreed to let her daughter go to a safe place for the time being. While the priest left, Shade asked the two ordinary people to stand far away. He turned his back to them and tried various methods in the hall to destroy the oil painting.
.But since it is a relic, it will not be destroyed so easily. No matter whether it is a gunshot, Silver Moon's slash or even the moonlight sword, it will not leave any trace on the oil painting.
In fact, Shade's attack actually made the bandage puppet in the oil painting move much faster. It seems that the oil painting knew that someone was trying to destroy it, so it accelerated the attack on Shade.
But this thing is only rated [Clerical Level] at most, and it is even more likely to be [Poet Level]. It is something like an urban legend that can be told everywhere. Its killing efficiency is really slow, and even when facing ordinary people
, try to only face one person at a time.
For ring warlocks, although it will be quite troublesome to deal with it after being unfortunately involved, there are still other ways.
Priest Augustus returned soon, but Dr. Schneider was not followed. Fortunately, the doctor was out for consultation and was not in the clinic for the time being, so he would not be involved in this matter.
Priest August seemed a little worried. After learning that Shade had failed to destroy the oil painting, the wrinkles on his brow deepened. He lowered his old voice and asked Shade in the foyer:
"Before I left, you said you had other options."
"Yes, Mr. Freeman was obsessed with wood carving before his death. This should not be a change of interest. Although he forgot about oil painting and didn't know what happened to him, he definitely had an idea. At least a week before his death, he
He vaguely realized what he wanted to do. This painter's inspiration is really powerful. He must have thought of the method when he came into contact with oil painting in his dream."
Shade asked for Mr. Freeman's relics from Priest Augustus, which was the poorly made wood carving, and then carefully placed the wood carving on the oil painting.
The boy was pulled by Mrs. Freeman and stood behind the stairs. Only two magicians looked directly at the oil painting. Under their gaze, the small wooden sculpture of a man actually melted on the surface of the oil painting like butter.
Later, a new puppet actually appeared inside the model house in the oil painting. It appeared at the door of the model, and as a gray light sank into the puppet from the depths of the oil painting, the new puppet and the pair representing the detective and the boy
The two puppets, the big one and the small one, come together.
The expressions of the puppets cannot be seen, but the three of them clearly saw Mr. Freeman's puppet approaching the smaller puppet. It "came alive", and Mr. Freeman's soul was actually in the oil painting.
Then, the boy George, who was being pulled by his mother, suddenly widened his eyes and looked around:
"Father, oh, is it you? Father!"
Although the middle-aged woman couldn't see what the detective and the priest did, she seemed to understand. She sobbed softly, squatted down and hugged her son.
Shade asked the priest in a low voice:
"It seems that the idea is correct. The puppet sculptor was killed by the painting, so it can enter the painting to help you. But what use will the puppets carved by living people be? Can we get more puppets?
Such as priest puppets, soldier puppets, and even gods."
"Only the puppets made by the people affected by this relic are useful. Detective, do you remember? Mr. Freeman went to the church before his death and got the Feast of Holy Prayer commemorative puppet, but he still died. So,
I think only puppets made by one's own hands are useful. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too easy to crack this relic? How could it be such a simple thing?"
Priest Augustus deduced, and then looked at Shade:
"I don't know what the puppets you carved will be used for, but detective, can you carve puppets?"
"Of course not, but I have other ways."
Shade said, taking out the MI6-issued revolver from his waist, and then taking out the handkerchief.
Covering the gun with a handkerchief, when he took the handkerchief away, a small pistol toy puppet appeared in his palm:
