Chapter 507 'The Scream'

On the third day, which was the day before the private art exhibition, everyone from Yanlong University made an appointment to go hunting and camping in the mountains and forests.

This kind of opportunity is actually relatively rare for everyone at Yanlong University. After all, although there are many wild features in Yanlong Planet, there are also many ferocious beasts and giant beasts there, and the ones with the strongest combat power are even as good as those with consciousness.

The awakening level reaches 25%, a strong man who is ready to start his transformation!

Legend has it that they are all the degraded bloodline of the giant beasts in the stars.

Of course, boss-level behemoths of this level are often rare protected species, and they can produce a variety of special and precious resources!

It is not an easy task to go camping in such an environment!

The hunting and camping activities lasted until evening, and they ate a lot of strange things.

Everyone is not afraid of eating too much, firstly because they have strong consciousness and unusual physiques; secondly, since this is a holiday estate, they are naturally prepared accordingly.

For example, the smart devices they bring when camping can easily identify whether the animals they hunt are edible, which parts are delicious, etc.!

In fact, they originally planned to play until the evening and then go back. However, when they went out today, they received a temporary notice that the owner of this place and the organizer of the private art exhibition, Mr. Edvard Munch, had come to Lapu Star and was preparing to hold an art exhibition in the evening.

A small banquet for everyone in the resort.

Guests are welcome to host, and since the owner of the place, Mr. Edward, has prepared a dinner, there is no reason why they should not attend.

After a fairly enjoyable hunting and camping trip, everyone returned to the manor to tidy up, and then led by the waiter to the banquet hall in the resort manor.

Lando and his party arrived not too early. At this time, there were already many people here chatting in small groups. The two Nalan sisters seemed to have met their acquaintances. After greeting them, they left first, and the others also dispersed.

Lando shrugged, went to the wine and food area alone, and began to taste the food. Although he had eaten a lot of game today, the food at the banquet was obviously more high-quality, and it was not only from Lapu, but also from other planets.

Special and delicious.

Lando's actions seemed to attract the attention of many people, but most people just smiled and didn't care.

There is no such thing as some rich, handsome man jumping out to complain about other country bumpkins.

Of course, Lando doesn't care.

After a while, Ava and Terry came to Lando. The latter asked doubtfully while having a delicious meal: "Senior, didn't you go to socialize with acquaintances?"

Ava smiled and said, "I just went to say hello."

Terry also smiled slightly.

Lando felt warm in his heart, knowing that they were probably afraid that he would be embarrassed alone, so he hurriedly greeted his acquaintances and then came to find him.

"What are you talking about? You didn't even call me?" Karen's gentle voice sounded.

Then the four of them looked at each other and smiled.

In the distance, Nalanxin happened to see this scene.

An exquisite-looking girl wearing a purple princess dress next to her followed her gaze curiously and asked, "What are you looking at, Xiaoxin?"

Nalanxin looked back and said gently: "No, it's nothing."

The delicate girl smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to come too. If I had known, I would have gone to find you. Didn't you say there is still something to do? Go ahead and go, don't worry about me, we can talk later."

Nalanxin smiled and shook her head and said, "It's okay."

The delicate girl's eyes lit up, she took Nalanxin's hand and said, "Then you have to talk to me carefully. I heard that something happened to the Attenborough, and it seemed that it was attacked by a large number of interstellar pirates! What did you just say?

You said you came here on the Attenborough?! What on earth is going on?"

"Um..." Nalanxin showed a lingering fear and immediately entered the story-telling mode: "It was quite dangerous at that time..."

Although it was a banquet hosted by Edward, the owner of this place, this person only showed up during the middle of the banquet.

Edvard Munch is a middle-aged man with a gentle face, deep eye sockets, a high bridge of nose, deep eyes, and a carefully groomed mustache under his nose.

Although he always has a smile that makes people feel like spring breeze, Lando can vaguely detect a hint of changeable sensibility deep in his soul. The emotions of such people are often easily affected by changes in the outside world.

In other words... the ability to empathize is extremely strong!

He is simply a born artist!

This is what Lando said about Edvard Munch.

After briefly thanking all the guests for their visit, Edward invited a beautiful woman in her thirties with a graceful temperament to dance the first dance.

After the dance is over, there is a free period, and everyone present can invite their partners to dance.

Of course, the invitee can also refuse.

Theoretically speaking, since you are attending a banquet, you need to dance at least once.

After the dancing session started, both Ava and Terry seemed a little eager to try.

In fact, if they have been together for so long, as long as they are not blind, they can almost tell that Ava and Terry are interested in the two sisters Nalanxin and Nalankui, but they don't know exactly who is attracted to which Lando.

Just when the two brothers were cheering each other up and thinking about inviting their favorite person to dance, Nalan Xin slowly walked towards them.

Could it be that?!

Ava and Terry's heartbeats accelerated slightly.

Then……

Nalanxin passed by the two of them, came to Lando, and stretched out a hand as an invitation.

Ava:!!!

Terry:???

Karen:……

Lando:(ΩДΩ)?!

This scene was beyond the expectations of many people. The entire small mouth of the delicate girl in the distance became an 'O' shape.

Many people who were interested in Nalanxin or knew her were also surprised, not to mention the people in Landuo who were experiencing this scene.

Lando didn't let the beautiful senior wait too long. He first looked innocently at the two seniors, Ava and Terry, and then directly took Nalanxin's hand.

"Senior sister, I only know a little bit about dancing." Lando said in a low voice.

Nalanxin smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll teach you."

The music played in the banquet hall was relatively soothing, and this dance only had a few simple movements. Lando had watched Edvard Munch dance it before, and with his control over his own body, he learned it directly.

.

Putting his arms around Senior Nalanxin's slender waist and feeling the complex sights coming from around him, Lando found it quite interesting.

After the song ended, before the two of them could return, Nalan Kui walked up to Lando and stretched out her hand. Nalan Xin seemed to have expected it, chuckled, let Lando go, and left.

Ava:???

Terry:!!!

Karen:……

Lando: ̄へ ̄

This scene once again shocked many people's jaws, but miraculously, many of the hostile glances originally directed at Lando first turned into confusion, and then they seemed to realize something and were no longer hostile.

This time the song was a little more upbeat, but fortunately, Lando couldn't be troubled.

He hugged Nalankui and smiled helplessly: "Senior sister, are you two using me as a shield?"

Nalankui blinked her charming big eyes and said with a smile: "Guess!"

After another song ended, everyone found a corner to sit down, but Nalanxin was nowhere to be seen.

Ava and Terry glanced at Lando from time to time, their eyes full of resentment, while Karen was holding back a smile.

Lando simply ignored this.

While several people were chatting and waiting for the banquet to end, Nalanxin came over with an exquisite girl and introduced to Lando: "This is my handkerchief friend... Claire Cantu

, Claire, this is my junior...Lando."

Everyone else obviously knew Claire and greeted her directly.

In the following time, Lando noticed that the girl named Claire would steal glances at him from time to time, seeming to be very interested in him, which made him very strange.

Soon, the banquet ended and everyone went back to rest.

Private art exhibition opening day, morning.

Everyone gathered at the agreed time and set off to Cliff Castle together.

It can be clearly seen that the number of guests in the entire resort today is several times that of when Lando and the others came that day, and it seems very lively.

There are already bustling climbers on the road leading to the cliff castle.

Lando and the others also walked up slowly while chatting and laughing.

When I got closer to the Cliff Castle, I realized that this building was much bigger than I thought!

After entering the castle, you can clearly feel that it was created by famous artists. The decoration is gorgeous and elegant. There is a hall at the beginning. The walls are filled with various paintings. There are well-proportioned exhibition stands in the hall, on which are placed

Various artworks, sculptures, bronzes, etc.

The entire castle has five floors. The corridors and rooms on each floor are filled with various antique objects that are not obtrusive according to their characteristics.

Lando and his party visited slowly. The paintings here were much better than those exhibited by the painting club. After all, each painting can be said to be a masterpiece that has experienced history.

However, although these can inspire Lando, they are not what he wants. What he really wants to see is the treasure that made him feel on the Attenborough that day!

He also asked at that time that all the treasures in that room were exhibits in this private art exhibition!

While Lando was thinking, other people's chatting aroused his interest.

"Speaking of which, why did Mr. Edward hold this private art exhibition with great fanfare? I've never heard of Mr. Edward having such a hobby?"

"Who knows, if it is an ordinary person, it must be to make connections, but unlike us, Mr. Edward is not an ordinary person, he is a real rich man!"

"Hehe, I know this. It is said that Mr. Edward recovered a precious item from his ancestors, so this art exhibition was held to open everyone's eyes!"

"The precious item of our ancestors? What is it?"

"I don't know, but it will be revealed soon, in the banquet hall on the top floor of the castle!"

"Oh, what are you waiting for? Let's go up and have a look!"

"Let's go, let's go together!"

A precious item from our ancestors?

Lando's heart moved and he said to everyone: "Shall we go to the top of the castle first?"

Several other people obviously heard the conversation between the previous people and nodded in agreement.

When Lando and the others arrived at the banquet hall on the top floor, they saw that there were already twenty or thirty people here. However, this banquet hall was quite large and could accommodate two to three hundred people, let alone twenty or thirty people.

What surprised Lando and the others was that everyone in the banquet hall stood quietly, seemingly trying not to make any noise.

Looking through the gaps in the crowd, they realized the reason.

In front of the huge window, Edward was holding a paintbrush and painting on a drawing board. What he painted was the scenery of the sea and sky outside.

At this time, the sun is rising, the sea is sparkling, and waves are rising from time to time. It is a good scene!

Edward devoted all his attention when painting, and it seemed that his whole person was integrated into the scenery. This scene is very pleasing to the eye.

In addition to the breeze blowing in the entire banquet hall, there was only the sound of the brush falling on the drawing board.

When Edward finished sketching the last stroke, a pure smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then he was slightly startled and looked at the banquet hall where there were already fifty or sixty people. He seemed to understand something and couldn't help but smile apologetically.

.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long." Edward stood up and bowed to everyone who was waiting quietly.

"It is an honor for me to see Mr. Edward's creation. If he is willing to give up his love, I am willing to buy the painting he just painted. I believe that in the future, this will definitely be a masterpiece that will be handed down from generation to generation!"

"That's right, Mr. Edward's painting skills are superb. Before I knew it, I was so absorbed in watching it that I didn't even notice the passage of time. Even if such a masterpiece is put up for auction at Mo Yuxuan, I think it can be the finale!"

"..."

Lando was quite speechless after listening to these many subtle or explicit flatteries. I guess this is the so-called "rich people have distant relatives in the mountains", right?!

Edward was obviously used to this kind of scene. He first ordered the butler to take down the painting he had just painted, and then said to everyone: "Don't worry about my humble work. Compared with my ancestors, my humble skills are far behind!

"

As he spoke, he walked to a platform at the end of the banquet hall, on which were placed four brackets covered with fine silk velvet.

Lando's mood also cheered up. As soon as he entered the banquet hall, he noticed that these four items all gave him a wonderful spiritual premonition. The feeling conveyed by the last one was exactly the same as what he felt on the Attenborough.

Consistent.

Edward was not trying to show off. He asked the waiter to take off the flannel and said proudly: "Please appreciate the works of my ancestors..."

"Scream!"

As the flannel slipped away, four seemingly similar paintings appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The subjects all have extremely painful expressions against the blood-red background. The people in them are full of trembling, blood-red hallucinations, making people feel frightened and even a little disgusting!

Although the painting is consistent with the authenticity of natural colors, the way of expression is extremely exaggerated, which seems to show the author's own feelings. The distorted lines in the painting are in sharp contrast with the strong and straight shape of the bridge, making it dull and dull.

The emotions of anxiety and loneliness have been expressed to an extreme!

The four paintings obviously look similar, but when they are put together, the emotions contained in them have a sense of progression, stacking on each other, and complementing each other!

In Lando's perception, they even vaguely form a unique field that can easily affect the people in it!

When he was immersed in it, reality seemed to gradually fade away, and everything around him began to turn into twisted colorful lines. The noise and discussion entered his ears, and seemed to turn into some kind of meaningless babble. It seemed that he could hear,

Can't seem to hear it.

It’s like countless people are constantly in your ears, silently...

Shout!!!
