Chapter 636 War Paintings
Chen Ling nodded slightly.
""Guernica" is an anti-war painting created by a very famous painter in the 20th century AD before the Catastrophe, based on the fascist disaster.
"In this painting, the city encountered foreign enemies and innocent residents were massacred crazily... Everything you saw along the way, whether it was people, cattle, or horses, were all victims of this disaster.
Chen Ling suddenly realized this.
No wonder those giant creatures just now seemed to be being chased by something, with expressions of fear and despair. Chen Ling originally thought that there was some extremely terrifying creature in this painting, but now it seems that the "monster" chasing them is ” is the invisible “war” itself.
"This painting was taken out from the Qingdao Ancient Collection by Lu Liangren, the Third Hall. The painting forms an independent space of its own, and the emotions of the victims in the painting will spread out in a form similar to radiation. , so that those who are in it can feel the same.
You just came in, so the situation is not serious yet... If you stay here for a long time, it will be useless even if you deliberately stay away from those guys. Their influence range is all over the entire painting, and no matter how far away you are, you will still be affected. Over time, this effect also accumulates in the body, completely affecting your mind.
"No wonder……"
Chen Ling recalled his previous experiences. Indeed, as Plum Blossom 8 said, he would be affected when he got close to them. However, now that the distance was far away, he didn't seem to feel anything strange... Is it because the time was not long enough?
This is no longer important to Chen Ling. Let alone staying here for a few months, if he can't get out within 24 hours, he will be bored to death, and then the "audience" will turn everything upside down.
"So...are you okay now?" Chen Ling looked at the extremely haggard Plum Blossom 8 and couldn't help but ask.
Plum Blossom 8 forced out a bitter smile. He casually pulled on the wall behind him, and the white wall surface fell like a canvas. A wall covered with messy lines and graphics was displayed in front of Chen Ling.
"I haven't slept in more than three months. Plum Blossom 8 pointed to the wall. On the corner was a realistic pendulum. The hands were constantly rotating with the seconds. Next to it were deep pen marks. Like used to record the number of days,
"As soon as I close my eyes, the despair and pain of war will overwhelm me... I feel like I am being hunted by something invisible, just like those things outside.
Plum Blossom 8 took a long sigh,
"In the eyes of floating paintings, Dusk Society is the source of the destruction of the realm and the engine of disaster. Therefore, the Second Palace threw both of us here. On the one hand, it wanted to trap us, and on the other hand, it also wanted to use these The suffering of war serves as punishment... This kind of mental torture is far more terrifying than physical torture.
"What a disaster..." Chen Ling complained.
"It's not an innocent disaster. After all, I did betray Fushenge... They didn't kill me first. They already miss the old relationship."
"So what do we do to escape from here?"
"escape?"
Plum Blossom 8 shook her head, "You can't escape... "Guernica" is said to be a part of the foundation of Qingshin Dao. It is almost perfect. It can only be unfolded from outside the painting. No matter what happens inside the painting, it will not happen. Will have an impact on the outside world
"You mean, this cage can't be opened from the inside anyway? Can we only open it from the outside?"
"Yes, but "Guernica" is kept by the Second Palace himself. There is no way he would take the initiative to open the painting and let us out.
"..."
Chen Ling looked at her audience's expectations and looked a little ugly.
If this is the case, Chen Ling's current situation is too passive... He never thought that this would be the case after entering "Guernica". Fortunately, he and Plum Blossom 8 are not without background.
Chen Ling has left Liu Qingyan as a back-up, and it shouldn't be difficult for the Dusk Society to follow the clues and find the Hongchen base... The only question is whether they can sneak into the base and steal "Guernica" from the hands of the Second Hall. Grab it back.
Chen Ling could only pray silently, hoping that they could rescue her within 24 hours...
Otherwise, when the audience’s expectations are exhausted, everyone will have to finish the game!
…
"The Red Dust Base is actually in the gray world?"
Jian Changsheng followed Liu Qingyan, looking at the gray-white world around him with shock in his eyes.
"This really makes people unexpected. Mei Hua is also puzzled, "I have been to several realms, and I have never heard of separating the base from the realm... Hongchen is a special case.
"So why do you do this? Is it Mr. Hongchen's decision or the decision of other people in Hongchen Base?"
"Then I don't know... Maybe you should ask Plum Blossom 8, who was once the Ninth Hall
"No, he can't say that," the 9 of Hearts suddenly said.
The other people looked at him doubtfully.
"That kid is very...or in other words, too principled." The 9 of Hearts shrugged.
"He has been a member of the Twilight Club for several years. He is willing to go through life and death in order to complete the task, but he has never been willing to reveal even a single secret of Fu Sheng E... In his words, Fu Sheng E has been kind to him, no matter what they do. Whether it makes sense or not, he would not do anything that would be sorry for Fu Sheng E
"Didn't you even tell me?" Mei Hua raised her eyebrows slightly, "You are half of his master, right? Isn't your relationship the best?"
"It has nothing to do with this...I said, this is his character." 9 of Hearts said half-jokingly, "Perhaps, this is the stubbornness that belongs only to 'genius'."
"Since he is so grateful to Fu Sheng Hui, why would he betray him?" Jian Changsheng asked.
"Betrayal? No, he didn't betray... He just gave up the name of the Ninth Hall and left the base of mortals.
Of course, he was then dragged into the Twilight Society by me. When these two news came out at the same time, there would naturally be a feeling that "the Ninth Hall was instigated by the Twilight Society and betrayed the floating paintings."
"I see. No wonder he suddenly became so nervous when he heard that the world of mortals might be destroyed next, and ran to the main city of mortals without saying a word..." Jian Changsheng thought thoughtfully,
"However, I still don't understand why Plum Blossom 8, the top genius of Qing Shinto and the youngest in history, wants to leave Ukisei-e?"
"I don't know the specifics..."
9 of Hearts pondered for a moment, "However, he seems to disagree with some things about Fu Sheng Hui, so he wants to find a solution on his own.
"...Did he find it?"
"Whether I found a way or not, I don't know." 9 of Hearts grinned, "Anyway... I was found by him."
