Chapter 40 Portraits

"According to what you said, Manson's power may have been beyond Derek's control, which is incredible. I didn't know about Derek's existence. I thought Manson was the executor of the blood sacrifice. In 1924

A series of events only shaped him, and everything that happens today is the mission God gave him.

But the current situation is different from what was expected. Derek was the one who performed the blood sacrifice. The six people before were obviously killed by Derek. You should have seen it in your dream. People died in this room, not in this room.

Died in the small town of Bozite.

This is Derek's world, so even if Derek doesn't do it himself, but he asks Manson to come to this room to do it for him, the nature is the same...

Derek is different from Dreiber back then. The latter was just a tool, but Derek has his own will. He is even a being who is at odds with those guys above.

This raises a question, why does Derek help those 'gods' complete blood sacrifices? Is he being controlled? Obviously not, so there is only one answer left. He has reached some kind of deal with the 'gods', and he wants to be a god

Let him do it, and God will satisfy some of his requirements."

Wang Xu asked: "Derek has only one purpose, right? As long as Aisalina can be resurrected, I think he will agree to anything."

Master Cat replied: "But God will not satisfy him easily. Obviously, judging from Derek's request to you, Aisalina has not been resurrected yet."

Yu Xin sneered and said: "I think those 'gods' you call have come up with a compromise to deal with Derek, and that is to send Wang Xu in front of him..."

Wang Xu was shocked when he heard this: "Wow... after you said that, it seems that it really means that!"

Qi Bing added: "Then... the people around you and the people you know were all brought to this space one by one, that is, the eleven people here."

Wang Xu looked back at him: "No, forget it about the three of you. There are several people outside who I don't know, and I've never seen that An Si before."

Qi Bing sighed: "Wang Xiaoyu, Ma Lin, and Yu Fei, they are all in the same department as us, and they sat quite close to you during lectures several times."

Wang Xu stared blankly: "Wow, Lao Qi, you can actually call so many girls by their names..."

Mr. Cat interrupted their complaints: "These things don't matter. What you should pay attention to is another point. When the eleven of us came to this space, without exception, we all appeared in the small town of Bozite, and

It didn’t appear directly here.”

Yu Xin said: "Does it mean that the balance of this space has begun to tilt towards Manson?"

Cat Master said: "That's right, so our biggest threat now is not Derek, he is easier to talk to. The biggest threat is Manson... He is too keen on peeling off the skin of living people and putting them on wax statues. He does

The matter has nothing to do with blood sacrifice or not. He will not stop until he kills us."

Wang Xu said: "It seems like we can't do it without asking Derek for help? But even if I want to help him resurrect Aisalina, I don't know how to do it myself?"

Qi Bing asked: "What did you do when you brought Senior Yan's soul back?"

Wang Xu thought for a while and replied: "I think that process should not be replicated..."

Master Mao's expression suddenly became vulgar: "Oh? What on earth did you do?"

Before Wang Xu could speak, a girl's scream suddenly came from the corridor outside.

The four people reacted almost immediately and rushed out together. When they arrived at the source of the sound, they saw the girl named Yu Fei sitting on the floor of the corridor. She covered her eyes and was trembling.

Others heard the sound and came over at this time. Yan Li knelt down, let Yu Fei lean on her arms, and whispered: "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Wang Xu bent down to pick up the candle that Yu Fei had dropped on the ground, and shined it on the wall of the corridor. It was obvious that the girl had seen something that made her so scared.

When the candle was stretched out, a portrait came into view on the wall of the corridor.

In fact, this is a very ordinary portrait of a girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old. Wang Xu recognized this face, it was the Aesalina he had seen in the reenactment of the death scene.

Although the face in the frame is not as angry as a living person, it is not so scary. Wang Xu immediately asked: "Are you afraid of this painting?"

Yu Fei sobbed: "She...she...she stared at me..."

"Ah?" Wang Xu took the candle and moved a few steps left and right in front of the painting. Aisalina in the painting was still looking forward, and there was no weird scene where her eyes followed people.

"It's probably because the candlelight is moving, so you may have seen it wrong. Don't be afraid. It's okay." Yan Li comforted her.

Yu Fei stopped talking and continued to sob.

So everyone went back to the living room, and Yan Li had to accompany Yu Fei to the bathroom. This time she didn't dare to go alone.

Wang Xu and the others continued to stand where they were. After everyone was gone, Wang Xu asked a very serious question: "Was there this painting here last night?"

Qi Bing shook his head: "Definitely not."

Mr. Cat said: "Actually, I noticed it when I came here just now. Come with me." He said and walked to the room where he came from just now.

After turning a corner, Cat Master immediately stopped and pointed to the wall next to him: "There's one here too."

The three of them looked in the direction he pointed, and saw another portrait like this, exactly the same as before.

Master Cat continued: "And if you look carefully, she is indeed looking at us."

Wang Xu looked at the painting. Although Aisalina's eyes in the painting did not move, her eyes really seemed to have been staring at him.

"Is Derek up to something?" Qi Bing asked.

Master Mao snorted coldly: "I think this is like Vincent's masterpiece... Anyway, the four of us will search this room again to see how many such portraits there are, from their location, distribution, and details.

If you find some patterns online, you might be able to get some new information."

After simply assigning their respective areas of responsibility, the four of them spread out and searched for such portraits in every room and corridor. Indeed, as Master Mao said, there are now portraits of Aisalina almost everywhere in the house.

, but the hanging position is not conspicuous.

Ten minutes later, they met again in the front hall on the first floor. Master Mao, Yu Xin, and Qi Bing all completed the task meticulously, but they did not find any special patterns. Every painting looked the same.

But Wang Xu, with an embarrassed face, said: "I think I seem to have found some clues..."

All three people were surprised: "What is it?"

"Well... Anyway, come with me."

Everyone followed Wang Xu to the basement. Wang Xu held up a candle. Next to a closet, there was a picture frame, the size and style of which were exactly the same as those of Asalina's portraits.

But the four of them all felt dumbfounded when they saw this painting, because what was painted in this painting was Vincent making a victory gesture...
