Chapter 40: The Man in the Painting and the Man in the Play
"Why do you say this suddenly?" Yu Xing was really surprised. He knew that his performance was excellent, but he didn't scare Zhao Yijius.
"..." Zhao Yijiu stopped answering the question and turned around. Looking at the collapsed scene in the painting, he seemed to suddenly have a great interest in this blurry scenery.
Yu Xing chuckled lightly. He could feel that although the topic was a bit strange, it was definitely Zhao Yjiu's own personality that was talking to him, which was not bad. Anyway, after returning this time, he had no idea about the problem between Zhao Yjiu's ghost personality and his self-personality.
The solution must also be put on the agenda, and it is a good thing to know more about it.
He glanced at the companion of the experiencer who was hiding far away from them, and the fear had not yet dissipated from his face. As soon as his eyes fell on that person, the person's face turned even paler.
.
But although Yu Xing didn't know what the experiencer's requirements were for participating in this activity, this person was definitely not a novice anyway. After being scared for a while, he saw this person taking the initiative to walk towards him.
Zhao Yijiu caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, his expression moved slightly, but he didn't make any move. Anyway, Yu Xing would definitely not have any trouble against someone of this strength.
"I'm sorry, we overestimated our capabilities." The chef's companion came to Yu Xing. She was not short. She looked at Yu Xing's level, but her aura was far inferior. At this moment, his face looked a little annoyed and a little scared.
There is also a bit of cruelty, "We should not hinder you from getting this painting. Now that he is dead, can the inconvenience caused to you be put to an end?"
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows, indicating something: "I killed your companion, don't you plan to come back in revenge?"
"We were the ones who started first. If we succeed, we will gain everything. If we fail, we will die. It's fair. He is dead and I am still alive. I will not waste my chance to live because of a dead person." Chef.
My companion seemed very ruthless when he said these words. I think the corpse of the cook in the river would feel a little sad when he heard it.
"You are really not a good person~" Yu Xing sighed.
"At this time, I can only choose not to be a good person. If I become a so-called good person, will you let me go?" The fellow chef forced a smile, "When we are teammates, people like me are best to die first, but I can't.
As an enemy, I should be pretty good, right? He who knows the current affairs is a hero, can you let me, a person who knows the current affairs, go?"
"I didn't plan to do anything again. I'm tired." Yu Xing looked at this man's face and memorized his appearance. "At least you haven't moved from beginning to end. You left the art museum and we won't see each other for a while."
."
His lips curled up, and his wet hair added a bit of venom to his soft face: "Go back to the base and tell you that those companions, Xing among the Deducers, are not interested in solving the conflicts in the team, and only want to use the other few
Method to clear the level, so if you encounter it, there is no need to come and provoke people I don’t intend to be peaceful with.”
He came closer to the experiencer in front of him, put his lips next to the other person's ear, and lowered his voice, which seemed a bit scary: "Don't cause trouble for yourself, I am not physically strong, and the most annoying thing is what makes me tired."
A hint of cold breath, like substance, emanated from this sentence. The chef's companion trembled uncontrollably, and his Adam's apple rolled: "...I know, this sentence will definitely come to me as long as I am alive from the art museum.
go out."
Yu Xing stood up straight and patted the man on the shoulder: "Whether you can survive depends on your own ability. I hope you are more capable. I don't want to find another person to be the microphone. Tsk, not all of you experiencers are like this.
You are not very discerning, but you like to take the initiative to provoke others, right?"
The chef's companion thought, no, I think you look like someone you can't afford to mess with when you say this. We were blind before.
After going back, I still have to tell them that the person opposite who calls himself Lucky is very scary... It doesn't matter which "sex" he comes from, as long as he can recite it.
This must be the strongest person on the Deducer side, right? Maybe the leader of everyone? After all, he can kill the chef who got the sacrifice single-handedly... They must have been unlucky, and encountered a big wave of bosses as soon as they came up.
…
After the chef's companion knew that he was temporarily safe, he began to think. The result this time was quite shocking and shocking to him. He was so stiff just now that he was in fear of death and had no time to think about it. Now
Once I came back to my senses, I couldn't help but speculate.
"The one on the other side had a great time watching the show this time." Yu Xing naturally did not ignore Yun Si. He smiled and asked the unknown experiencer in front of him, "This man is also your companion, why doesn't he help you at all? Experiencer
Is our friendship so plastic?"
Yun Si, standing on the other side of the river, sneezed.
He frowned and looked at the figure of the person who was talking on the other side, a little unwillingly: "I'll go, it's so quiet, I can't hear you, are you really going to show me a mime?"
Then, in the collapsed lines, he saw the three people opposite him giving him a vague glance.
Yun Si: "...?"
He never expected that Yu Xing could step on him and give him an identity at this time, just like the Barb Wolf in Werewolf, very scheming.
The chef's companion smiled and immediately began to sell his teammates: "That person's title is prey. He and I are not on a fixed team in the game. I don't know much about him. I only know the name of the team he is on."
In recent years, he has been in the spotlight. His usual weapons are a pair of guns, extremely lethal sacrifices, and he is good at fighting. By the way, their captain, the crazy doctor, is a madman, and he and the wise chess player in the team are in the art museum. I don’t know.
Have you seen them..."
"It's indeed a happy news that a young man like you exists in the enemy camp." Yu Xing didn't say that he did a good job, nor did he show off to him. He only mocked him half-truthfully, "That's right.
, what is your title? What is your status on Dead Island?"
"Container," said the cook's companion, "that's what I'm called, and I'm a banker."
The scene by the river had been almost destroyed by this point. Large areas of blank space stood out, as if the paint had been wiped out of a painting. The ground beneath their feet trembled. Yu Xing finally looked at the "container" with a little menace:
"I don't want to get into trouble again in the art gallery later."
"I understand, I understand." The container can bend and stretch, and it is worthy of being a container.
The fierce white light in front of them made all the outsiders instinctively close their eyes to avoid being blinded. When they opened their eyes again, the noise around them had returned. Zhao Yijiu still maintained the posture of holding the oil painting, as if just now
Everything is just a matter of moments.
The only difference is that the chef who originally rushed to them to inspire the oil paintings with sacrifices is gone.
There was no body, and no breath remained. It was as if there had never been a person named Chef on this island.
Yu Xing's eyes flickered imperceptibly, and he saw the container not far away sneakily running in the opposite direction, as if he was afraid that he would suddenly regret it and pursue him to kill him.
"Just let him go like this?" Zhao Yijiu's voice was cold, "When they were on the shore, they discussed killing you together."
"Oh, in this world, it doesn't depend on what people say, it depends on what they do." Yu Xing heard that Zhao Yijiu seemed to be worried about this matter, so he patted Zhao Yijiu's arm in a comforting way, "
As long as he doesn't really take action, even if he curses me ten thousand times, it will be in vain, that's the truth."
Zhao Yijiu listened quietly, wondering if he accepted this statement. From the look in his eyes, he probably didn't look down on people like Container who sell out his teammates.
"After this time, even if he still discusses with others how to kill me after returning to their stronghold, he will only be gregarious with his words, secretly deny the plan in his heart, and then put himself in the safest place when taking action. This way
A pig teammate with uncertainty is what I need as his opponent." Yu Xing spoke and looked around.
This was the second floor close to the stairs on the third floor. There were not many ghost watchers, and he didn't see Yun Si. He must have slipped away the moment he returned to the art museum.
"Prey... what a strange title." Yu Xing muttered, "Then his early warning ability that I predicted before should be correct. As a prey, it is impossible not to have a sense of danger."
"Are you leaving?" Zhao Yijiu asked.
In just a few seconds, everyone here had left. He was the only one left holding an oil painting. With Yu Xing standing next to him, he felt a bit like a bodyguard carrying the oil painting for the young boss who spent a lot of money.
.
"Let's go, let's go, I've been curious about the third floor for a long time." After hearing this, Yu Xing became more interested. He urged Zhao Yijiu to go up the stairs, and he took half a step behind to avoid being hit by the oil painting frame.
The scenery in the painting has changed.
It's still roughly the same painting as before, but the difference is that the old fisherman is no longer sitting, but has packed up his fishing rod and pony, as if ready to leave.
In the water, half of the shadow previously outlined with lines appeared on the surface of the water, with black hair scattered, and a pair of eyes looking at the sky without sadness or joy. This is the angle from which others view this painting relative to the person in the painting.
The female ghost in the water is looking "offscreen".
"Tsk, this girl is quite pitiful." Yu Xing inexplicably met the eyes of the motionless female ghost in the painting and sighed, "Brother Jiu, do you want to know what I saw in the water?"
"I'm not curious, but I don't mind listening to what you want to say." Zhao Yijiao walked expressionlessly, but his eyes were slightly averted. He was walking in front and couldn't see Yu Xing's expression, so he turned his eyes again
Go back straight.
"The girl was attracted by her boyfriend. The girl's family was well off. When they were dating, her boyfriend was very good to her. He was very rich and well-educated. She was a perfect lover. Gradually, the girl was attracted by her boyfriend.
Under the guidance of her, she gradually lost contact with her family, and even spent money to help her boyfriend with many "unexpected situations"... When the time came, her boyfriend wanted to break up with her, and the girl also fell into the thought of dying for her boyfriend after being PUA.
trap."
Yu Xing roughly described what he saw after getting the water ghost's heart: "Her family, especially her younger brother, noticed something was wrong and followed her all the way that night to see what was going on with her recently. Unexpectedly, they saw
My sister jumped into the river. The river was fast and my brother couldn't swim. After calling the police, it was already too late."
"Her original resentment was not that big, and she shouldn't have turned into a water ghost after drowning. But for some reason, she was left behind by a force when she got underwater. His family came to the river to cry and told her to call the police.
Later, the police's investigation of her boyfriend revealed that he was a liar who was idle and had no job."
"So she became a water ghost with true feelings. She especially hates people like me who are insincere in relationships and take advantage of others. As for the girl's belongings that appeared on the shore every day after her death, they were the things she kept on the shore in a daze.
While wandering in the water, I found in the mud the belongings of the girl who once committed suicide in this river."
Zhao Yijiu had a weird look on his face when he heard Yu Xing naturally say that it was just him.
He mocked: "You are really into the drama and very skilled."
They had already gone up to the third floor, and in front of them was a quiet corridor with signs posted in the corridor. The most conspicuous sign said "The person in charge and the famous painters are waiting for the results in the appraisal room".
The map on the wall shows that the Art Appraisal Room is at the end of another corridor after this corridor ends.
They continued chatting and moved forward.
"A play is just for acting." Yu Xing didn't care about Zhao Yijiao's doubts, "When you are in the play, you are the person in the play. After singing and leaving the play, you are yourself. Enter the play and leave the play.
Yes, everyone depends on their abilities~"
"Who said this?" Zhao Yijiao felt a little weird for no reason. It was obviously a good experience, but it felt like he had heard a ghost story, which was a little creepy.
"Ah." Yu Xing was stunned for a moment.
Realizing what he had said, he was silent for two seconds, and finally smiled and shook his head: "The teachings of an old friend in the play."
"Actor?" Zhao Yijiao didn't give him a chance to fool him.
"It's not an actor." Yu Xing replied, "It's a person in the play."
He twitched the corner of his mouth: "The gentle and firm Gan Dan can say these words, but the actor who is out of the show can't. They are basically two people..."
"They are just the same person." Zhao Yijiu interrupted Yu Xing, "A person who is more complete than me and Li Gui. If you have a grudge, you can't show mercy to him."
Yu Xing was startled for a moment, then laughed: "Of course I know, don't worry. It's not just my hatred, he has also hurt you, as well as Qu Nianqing and Zhu Yan... These are our common enemies, how can I
There may be some mercy.”
Only then did Zhao Yijiu hum, and the corners of his mouth curled up vaguely.
He didn't know why, but when he heard Yu Xing say what the actor had said so naturally, he felt chills all over his body and his hair stood on end. He only knew that with Yu Xing's guarantee, he felt a little calmer.
Is it because he is afraid that one day Yu Xing will be changed by the actor?
If that day comes, it will be... the end for anyone involved.
"Ah, by the way." Yu Xing planned to change the subject, "I didn't see what happened to the old man fishing in the water. The old man had nothing to do with the death of the water ghost. Those who wanted to jump into the river after her death
The young girl was not the one who made the move. Combining these clues, it can be proved that the weird thing is the river itself."
Zhao Yijiu listened and was a little confused: "But we have already come out. There is a problem with the river. Can we still trace it?"
"I'm not sure, but I have a hunch." Yu Xing said, "The weirdness in the river must not be limited to the painting, maybe it is related to the wizard sect? In short, if my feeling is right, in the future,
At a certain destined time and place, we will get clues to connect this river."
"And as a result, I am more interested in other paintings. I will meet the person in charge later and let's pick another painting to play with~"
Zhao Yijiu: "Okay."
They walked around the corner and stopped talking, but slowed down and became quiet.
The corridor behind the corner is bare, except for the dim crystal lamps inlaid on the two walls. There is only a single bright red door at the end, which looks strange.
The words "Art Appraisal Room" are written in Chinese above the door.
Yu Xing discovered that the Silent Island has its own text, but in the copies of independent buildings, the text that outsiders can understand is still used.
He and Zhao Yijiu, who was holding the oil painting, came to the door of the painting appraisal room.
