The blood-colored claws are sharp and long, piercing out from the chest, like stubborn and unyielding branches protruding from the cracks in the stone. Each section is absorbing red nutrients, seeping into the finger joints.
The fingers that absorbed the nutrients moved forward nearly a decimeter like a real branch, as if the process of growing from a young child into a towering tree was accelerated. If you put it somewhere else, it would be the inspirational record of a tree.
Unfortunately, the real reality has nothing to do with this prosperous scene, but instead elevates the weirdness to the extreme.
The soft sound of breaking flesh, like the pause button, made everyone in the appraisal room stop. There was an inexplicable attraction that focused the eyes of both people and ghosts on Linda's blood-stained fingers. Even Yu Xing
At this moment, he couldn't help but look over. He stared at this scene blankly. Linda's face became no longer important at this moment, and on that hand, he could even see a drop of blood rolling off the nail.
Clearly.
"Really, my hands are for painting, but you insist on forcing me to do such rude things." Linda's ethereal voice followed the invisible branches and wrapped them densely.
The dim environment sent a gust of dark wind in, and these two-meter-tall humanoid creatures suddenly lost their expressions. They still maintained fighting movements, but their faces were numb and stiff, as if they had lost their souls.
Yu Xing felt his heart skip a beat suddenly, and a shiver rose from his spine to Tianling Gai. He wanted to turn around to see how Zhao Yijiao was doing, but found that he could not take his eyes away from Linda's hand.
At the same time, his emotions were also strangely suppressed. At this moment, he seemed to have no desire for anything, and thought it was normal to maintain this situation forever.
But another layer of consciousness kept him awake like a split, constantly warning him to resist quickly and not to sink.
Resist quickly and don't sink.
Yu Xing's fingers moved. He calmed down and tried to amplify the awareness that alerted him until it completely overshadowed the numbness and emotionless state. There were waves of tiny voices in his ears.
Something was growing, intertwining, branches and leaves rubbing against each other... But he knew that these sounds did not exist.
Even if it existed, it must have crossed time and space, and reached his ears here and now from a distant unknown place.
There was a sharp pain in his finger, and Yu Xing became more awake. He expressionlessly retracted the nail that had been stabbed into the fingertip under his control. The amplified pain made the pain rise to the same level as a hammer crushing his finger into mud.
Then, he twitched the corners of his mouth and suddenly figured out something.
Coincidences in the world are nothing more than another kind of necessity.
what is this?
It's a reminder he will definitely get.
He could already control his body, not just his sight, but also his thoughts. He stretched out his hand, touched a glass on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and then
"Peng!"
Broken glass splashed on the ground, making a crisp sound. In the silence at this time, it was like a heavy hammer that struck the soul.
Linda looked at Yu Xing with a little surprise, but she didn't take any direct action. She just curled her lips and took her hand back.
The body that lost her support fell limply to the ground. Linda threw the broken heart next to his body like garbage. All the teeth in his neck fell out, and he was too dead to die.
Everyone and the ghosts shuddered and came to their senses, and were surprised by what they had just thought.
They are all sure that if there is no sound stimulation like breaking a glass, they may really stop here forever and let their thoughts go.
After regaining consciousness, the ghosts who were fighting just now were beaten twice more due to their inertia. Not only the painters and staff, but also the viewers who rushed into the art appreciation room and the instigators who were mixed in were all shocked and confused.
"what happened?"
"Linda! What are you doing!"
"You traitor, are you a spy among us!?"
"Fuck..." Yun Si touched the cold sweat on his forehead and sighed in fear, "Just now I almost felt like a dead prey that shouldn't be moved. Fortunately, I woke up...
"
After a pause, he added: "It's scary to think about it carefully."
Yu Xing: "..."
He turned around to pay attention to Zhao Yijiu's condition, and found that the man was not bad, but he had an awkward face and disliked Linda very much.
Yu Xing conveyed a question mark with his eyes, and Zhao Yijiu pursed his lips and responded with a "It doesn't matter" look.
Ning Feng and the chess player looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Facing the different reactions of everyone and ghosts, Linda smiled: "What a spy, I'm just annoyed. The slapstick will affect my mood."
She walked a few steps swaying and pointed at the mess on the ground: "Did you see it? It's a good art appreciation room, but it's a mess. I came here to participate in an art exhibition, and this art exhibition has a publicity effect for me.
, no one can mess it up, I am going to participate in the auction, how important is the price."
The fat man shouted at the top of his lungs: "But you killed people from our art museum!"
"Oh, really? It was too dark and I couldn't see clearly." Linda smiled, but there was no hint of apology in her words.
The fat man wanted to say something else, but after seeing Linda's eyes, he suddenly realized that Linda had not said anything, but she had long been very dissatisfied with the museum's ability to respond.
The art exhibition had already begun, but outsiders were still needed to help find the fakes mixed in. This might have... filled her with anger.
Being late today is also a way to express dissatisfaction.
When Linda saw the fat man taking the initiative to shut up, she let out a cold snort without any emotion, and then raised her voice: "My art exhibition does not need shabby rats."
After breaking away from the state of silence just now, her voice returned to normal. It no longer had that ethereal meaning, and her words were more harsh.
Several ghosts that broke into the painting appraisal room took a few steps back. Their intuition told them that this painter was different from others. He was a terrifying existence like the person in charge that they could not face directly.
"Why don't you hurry up and get out?" Clodier was trembling, but he could still feel Linda's impatience. He had the courage to yell at the ghosts to prevent them from standing here any longer.
He was even very scared, because during the painting appraisal process, he and Linda were not very polite when talking to each other, and even had a dispute because of different ideas. But at that time, how did he know that Linda's strength was so terrifying, and it was not the same as anyone else's?
One level.
The guys who broke in heard it and ran back without hesitation. Some of them came here specifically to encourage others to destroy the art exhibition. Now that they have discovered that there is such a terrifying monster, it is impossible for the art exhibition to follow the rules.
If their plan is ruined, there will be no reason to stay here.
And several other viewers who were completely used as guns were even more regretful. At this time, they realized that for some reason, they had gone from being just a little dissatisfied with the fakes hidden in the exhibition to rushing to the third floor.
Trouble maker.
But they ran very fast, but the mistakes they had made would not change. Linda's voice was cold: "Let's go? Shouldn't you pay the price?"
The red wooden door that was kicked open automatically without wind, and slammed shut with a loud noise, trapping everyone in this room. Xueyuan's expression became tense, and even Killer No. 37 tensed up.
Yu Xing was relatively calm, because he saw no malice in the look Linda gave him just now. He could only say that it might be because they not only did not do anything detrimental to the exhibition, nor did they neglect their duties, but instead accepted the instructions from the person in charge.
They commissioned and maintained this exhibition, so Linda didn't want to hurt them.
This is a... relatively reasonable ghost.
But being reasonable is just being reasonable to them. Those who break in and look for trouble... have already laid the foundation for death.
I didn't see Linda moving. Those things suddenly exploded, exploding the room with blood mist and broken pieces of meat. Fortunately, when they exploded, these ghosts were located close to the door and did not directly affect the short man's outside.
those.
However, when those things exploded, Yu Xing vaguely heard the sound of friction. He stared at Linda with his peripheral vision and wrote down the outline of this woman.
After that, the world becomes pure.
A pin drop could be heard in the appraisal room. Everyone was either looking at Linda or firmly not looking at Linda, but their expressions showed some nervousness.
Linda looked around. Except for those outsiders, she had no interest in this group of cowards at all. So she picked the person who interested her the most and asked, "Will anyone come in now?"
The person she picked was Yu Xing. Yu Xing looked directly at her and analyzed: "With the ability of the person in charge, letting these few escape should be the limit. If anyone else can come up, I reasonably suspect that it is the person in charge.
Take the initiative, but generally speaking, the chance of someone else coming in is low."
A voice that was neither humble nor arrogant sounded steadily in the dark room, and at the same time, there was the smell of blood.
The minced meat and blood gave off an unpleasant fishy smell. Unlike the newly dead people, the corpses of the ghosts seemed to have been rotting for many years. The smell was foul and disgusting.
Being able to stay here is probably due to the desire to survive in all aspects.
"Really? That's good... I'm waiting for the person in charge to give me an explanation for his unfavorable preparations. Before that, I want to have a chat with you during such a boring time." Linda looked really interested in Yu.
Xing was very interested, and there was even some inquiry in her eyes. She walked over slowly, and the other people sitting on the sofa stood up and moved to the side of the round table with dignity and tacit understanding.
The same was true for Zhao Yijiao. He could guess that Yu Xing might get some benefits from Linda.
It became empty in an instant. Yu Xing curled his lips and was not surprised. He stood up politely and extended his hand to Linda: "Please sit down?"
He pointed to Linda the seat opposite him, but Linda sat down next to him very casually and raised her eyes: "Get closer so you can talk, and stop standing."
Yu Xing didn't care about this. He just thought it was a bit strange that in such a quiet room, he and Linda were talking while the others stood behind and watched.
But as long as he is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. After he sat down, he took the initiative to ask: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
This unceremonious and fearless tone made all the experiencers feel very admired. He is a ruthless person!
That’s great, you need to be ruthless at this time!
Those of them who are not ruthless can just watch the show from behind!
Manual dog head.
"Two aspects. First, I want to talk to you...how did you break the glass just now?" Linda's long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her gauze hat covered her neck and face.
Fair and fair, there was no doubt or temptation in it, as if she really just had some doubts.
"My hand slipped." Yu Xing said.
"Huh?" Linda didn't expect him to give such an answer, "Are you perfunctory with me?"
Yu Xing retorted seriously: "Not really, I'm just making excuses."
"Don't worry about how scary I think it is. Even if you were not awake at the time, the person in charge will still wake you up when he comes back. I just hope to maintain a quiet and less troublesome environment." Linda was a little regretful.
, "I am a person with a good temper."
Everyone's definition of good temper is really completely different... The people and ghosts behind are thinking in their hearts.
"Forget it, I won't ask this question. You must have your own reasons why you are not affected...but we are destined. Your painting skills are very high. I can understand this from your conversation. I think
, In terms of painting, we must have opportunities to cooperate." Linda took out two things from the folds of her skirt and handed them directly to Yu Xing's eyes, "I like people who understand art, especially newcomers...give
Give me two gifts."
Yu Xing squinted and identified two small things. One was a brown ring with no discernible material. It seemed that it was a suitable size to fit on the index finger, and the other was several pieces of paper tied together with rubber bands.
"This is an admission ticket." Linda introduced the pieces of paper first. "It's not a cheap admission ticket for this messy art exhibition, but for an auction. You should have heard me mention the auction just now.
In five days, Magic Eye Auction House will hold a treasure auction, and one of my paintings will be one of them...but I think your painting may also be eligible to be included in this auction."
"It is hard to get a ticket for this auction. Every ticket means a lot of money. I will give you three tickets. I hope you can bring your friends to participate, whether as the owner of the auction items or simply
As a spectator, of course, I personally hope it is the former. If you intend to send your painting to the auction, I can help you contact the people at the auction house in advance."
The experiencers at the back breathed a little faster, and every word Linda said was talking about the auction house copy! Large copy! Intense danger and high reward!
Yu Xing smiled and accepted the gift. For him, this was indeed what he wanted. What's more, if the painting could be auctioned, he should not have to worry about the rent for a long time.
"How can I contact you if I want to?"
Ms. Linda was not surprised at all by Yu Xing's refusal. She shook the ring and said, "Wear it and you can contact me when you are alone. If I am free, I will give it to you."
Respond."
Yu Xing looked at this ring of unknown material and thought, since we already have a communication device, isn't this a good thing?
He smiled with unknown meaning in his heart, but on the surface he accepted the two gifts very happily.
