Soul echo

511 Trouble

If nothing else happened, the girl's soul should be trapped in that oil painting.

But if it's Nemo's work...it doesn't look like it.

First of all, this painting was created by Nemo before he became a believer in the Lord of Pleasure. It is just a simple landscape painting.

——But because it is a 'simple landscape painting', it looks strange.

Nemo has a characteristic when he paints, that is, the paintings he draws are normal in the eyes of ordinary people, but there is a bit of madness sandwiched between them.

It is that charm that people are looking for. If you put together the paintings of several periods of Nemo, many people can tell the difference at a glance.

Before the age of 14, Nemo’s paintings always showed a bit of indistinct madness. After the age of 14, he seemed to give up that painting method and turned to another style. What is admirable is that he can perfectly control the other style. a style.

However, the paintings that Nemo created before the age of 14 have a layer of camouflage on the surface, which is his innate psychic ability, but even he himself does not know it.

In fact, Zhong Ye didn't know that he didn't realize that Nemo was a natural psychic after he got the "Psionic Handbook" from Mrs. Pereira and started to practice psionics.

Nemo's paintings are 'revealed' after his death, so it seems odd that this landscape remains unchanged.

At that time, the world Nemo saw should still be a distorted world full of blood and bones. Why can this landscape painting maintain its camouflaged appearance?Is it because of that girl's soul?

Zhong Ye didn't know what was going on, he only knew that there must be a problem!
Even after confirming that there were no residues of the oil painting, Zhong Ye did not dispose of the pile of ashes here, and packed up all the suspected residues in a cloth bag before returning to the city.

When he returned to Lübeck, he went straight to the church, took the bag of ashes and explained to the priest what he had just experienced.

After hearing Zhong Ye's narration, the face of the clergyman changed drastically.

The famous artist Nemo is not only a follower of the abyss, but also the god's choice of the Lord of Pleasure. This matter has been spread in the church for a long time, and any clergyman, even an apprentice, will know about it.

Even though Zhong Ye reassured him that it might not have anything to do with Nemo, the priest couldn't calm down.

The cleric asked Zhong Ye to pour the ashes in the bag to the ground, and then he summoned a shot of holy light, injecting the holy light into the ashes.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

The clergyman breathed a sigh of relief, and put the ashes into the cloth bag again, without leaving any trace.

"Your Excellency, next we will investigate the matter behind that painting." The cleric said solemnly, "Anything that may be related to the abyss is not a trivial matter, not to mention that this matter may also be related to 'Nemo'. "

Zhong Ye didn't say anything, just nodded, then turned and left the church of the Commercial Church.

He didn't feel that the clergyman was making a big deal out of a molehill, and he couldn't take anything related to the abyss lightly, and the clergyman's attitude couldn't be blamed.

It's just that Zhong Ye didn't expect that the incident related to Nemo would accompany him for so long.

He crossed over to this world almost in the early summer of last year, and now it is mid-spring, and it has been almost a year since he crossed over.

After he crossed over, the first incident he encountered was Nemo spreading the plague in the border town of Etrull.

To this day, Zhong Ye still remembers quite clearly that Nemo actually chose to chop himself into pieces, turning himself into a kind of plague, using the plague believers as a cover to infect everyone in the town.

If he and Amos hadn't just arrived in that small town, perhaps the plague would continue to spread. After the plague spread to a certain extent, Nemo would have the opportunity to be promoted to become a 'big devil'.

Thinking about it now, I'm still a little scared...

Zhong Ye sighed and threw these thoughts out of his mind.

Nemo was dead, and there was no use in thinking about these things.

Now is the time to rest, if you want to rest, take a good rest, don't think about what you have and what you don't have.

…………

"monster……"

The panicked crowd is screaming and running...

"Run away..."

A young man is helping his injured girlfriend...

"Don't go over..."

a mass of red...

"Lend me your car..."

It seems that 'myself' roared...

"Senseless resistance..."

Sitting in the car, bumping into that twisted mass of red...

Blood spilled in front of my eyes, filling my entire field of vision...

'Myself' stretched out his arm, and inserted the steel bar in his hand towards the head of that fuzzy red figure...

The red figure was enraged and attacked, hitting the electric receiver of the car, and was immediately sent flying...

Tore off the seat belt on his body, carried the steel bar, and walked over in a hobble...

Hearing the heavy panting of 'myself', feeling the throbbing heartbeat, I inserted a steel bar into the head of the red figure...

then……

After that……

--call!

Zhong Ye suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

The bed under him creaked because of the large range of motion.

Zhong Ye silently raised his hands, staring at his hands in the darkness.

The coldness of steel bars, the heat of lightning, the stench of blood, and the panicked screams of people... Until now, he can still feel it, but that feeling is gradually fading away.

He has part of the power of Oneiroi and can completely control his dreams.

Logically speaking, this kind of uncontrollable dream shouldn't happen - before he fell asleep last night, he should have set himself a 'good dream'.

Zhong Yezai recalled it carefully, and confirmed that what he had set up was indeed a sweet dream.

Because it is time to rest now, he plans to relax himself and combine work with rest.

Therefore, for a long time, he did not allow himself to practice martial arts in the dream, but only set a direction for the dream, and he himself did not know what kind of dream it would produce.

But he knew that the dream he had just now was definitely not a 'fair dream'!
Why is there such a thing?
Zhong Ye frowned, thinking twice.

But he thought about it for a long time, and couldn't figure it out.

While he was thinking, time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye it was the time for the sun to rise.

Glancing at the faint morning light outside the window, Zhong Ye got out of bed, put on his shoes and left the room.

But when he walked to the training ground of the Adventurer's House, there was no one here.

Zhong Ye looked at the direction where the sun was rising, took a deep breath, and exhaled all the depression in his chest.

There must be a reason for the groundless rumours. He definitely didn't have the dream because of an accident. That dream must be related to him, but what is the connection is worth pondering.

While doing daily exercise, Zhong Ye continued to think about that question.

From the rising of the sun until eight o'clock in the morning, when the number of people on the training ground began to increase, Zhong Ye finished his exercise and returned to the lobby of the Adventurer's House.

"Look, I said the teacher must be going to exercise again!"

When Zhong Ye walked into the hall, he heard Lilian's triumphant voice, and cast his gaze over there.

Lilian smiled and waved to signal that they were here.

Besides Lily and Lilian sitting at that table, there were also a few adventurers who could be identified as players at a glance.

These players are new friends that Lilian just met, and she has hunted down cultists in the city with her before.

After Zhong Ye sat down, he got acquainted with them, and then heard them chattering about the dungeon in Lübeck.

After breakfast, Lilian went to clear the dungeon with her new friends.

After they all left, Lili turned to look at Zhong Ye.

"Chong, what's bothering you?"

Zhong Ye was taken aback for a moment, "Can you see it?"

The corners of her lips were slightly pursed, and Lily raised her eyebrows charmingly, "Because I've been paying attention to you..."

Zhong Ye was silent for a moment, and then spoke out his troubles.

After a morning of thinking, he gradually had some clues about that matter...
