Into the infinite game to write pit text

Andre locked himself in the studio on the third floor again.

Ji Chuan stood in the corridor, looked at the closed door in front of him, and frowned slightly.

He has been alternating back and forth between the two spaces of Alicia Lauren and Andre, and has appeared on Andre's side several times, but he has not gotten any information about the other party.

This person's personality is very weird, it should be said that he is a bit like autism.

He basically doesn't talk to Ji Chuan, and he can almost turn a blind eye to Ji Chuan's existence, and there are only a handful of things that they have spoken between them.

Every time Ji Chuan came here, he was either locked in the studio or on his way into the studio.

It was as if this old castle didn't exist at all, and only that room was his home.

Ji Chuan really couldn't find a chance to go in and find out. After standing at the door for a while, he went straight downstairs to the basement.

While walking, he was still thinking about the previous scene in his mind.

When Alia was sucked by Lauren, a blood slave locked in the basement fell out of the shadows, and that person... looked like Joseph with silver hair no matter what.

The reason why I say "like" is that Ji Chuan has never met him in person, but there is a portrait of Joseph hanging on the porch at Andre's side.

When Ji Chuan walked into the basement, the first thing he saw was the big coffin in the middle.It's just different from what I saw with Xu Shu. There are three coffins here, except for the one in the middle, there are two more under the left and right walls.

The coffins were all wiped clean, and seemed to be cleaned regularly—andrei had no servants, so it could only be himself.

Ji Chuan remembered the bones he saw in the coffin in the middle, so he hurried forward and lifted the lid of the coffin.

Under the dim candlelight, a white skeleton was cast in the shadow of the coffin lid.

Ji Chuan narrowed his eyes, then went to open the other two coffins to have a look, but saw that they were all blank.

But here he has already got an important clue - the skeleton in the black and gold hexagonal coffin in the center is by no means the later Avid.

So besides vampires, who else can have this "honor" to be placed in this place?

That must be one of the main NPCs.

Lauren, Alicia, and one of Joseph.

Lauren is a vampire, so it can be ruled out directly, and the rest are Alia and Joseph—the blood slave that Ji Chuan saw in the basement was Joseph, which means that at least he was still a human being at the time.

But it is said that Aliya also became a vampire later, so there shouldn't be any bones left after her death.

Could it be that Joseph is not actually a vampire?

Ji Chuan frowned slightly, thinking of Xu Shu.

At present, it seems that there should be more clues from him. I don't know if there is any chance to meet tonight?

At this time, Xu Shuzhen was sitting in Avid's study, puzzled.

What does the portrait of Alia in her youth represent?How can a painting be passed down as a treasure by three generations of vampire masters?

And it's actually three generations.

Vampires are immortal without external interference. The three generations may be more than a thousand years old, right?The span from the first generation to the third generation is so large, what relationship can Andre have with Alia?

And Joseph, when Xu Shu was looking at the portrait at the entrance, the other party told him the story between Alia and Lauren.At that time, his tone sounded very calm, and his face didn't change much. It didn't look like he had a lot of relationship with Alia.

It can't be... a crush or something, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, grabbed the portrait and ran downstairs.

He wanted to compare this painting with the portraits below to see if it was painted by the same person.

First of all, Andre can be ruled out. That person's paintings are really unflattering, and he doesn't seem like someone who can draw such portraits.

Joseph, on the other hand, is a person who is very good at drawing, but the clue is a portrait, and he is the one who can be most connected with it.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu quickly ran to the entrance, took out the portrait and spread it next to the middle-aged portrait of Alia on the wall, and compared them carefully bit by bit.

He is a layman, and he can't compare things like color and ink like an expert. He can only compare the expressions and styles of the two paintings.

And it doesn't have to be that careful at all—when the two paintings are placed next to each other, the commonalities between them are obvious.

The middle-aged portrait looks like it's just a little detail added to the young Aaliyah's face to make her look more mature.

There is no doubt that the two paintings are by the same person.

So who painted it?Lauren or Joseph?

Lauren is Aaliyah's husband, and it is reasonable for a husband to paint a portrait of his wife.And Joseph is painting

The masters in the field cannot be ruled out easily.

If you want to get a definite answer, you should only ask them themselves, right?

"What are you doing?"

Just as Xu Shu was thinking, he heard Avid's slightly puzzled voice coming from the direction of the living room.

He put down the portrait and turned around, and asked casually, "Do you know who painted the portraits here?"

"Portrait?" Avid glanced at the wall, shrugged and said strangely: "I don't know, why are you asking this?"

Seeing that Xu Shu couldn't answer the question, he didn't want to explain too much, but said he was a little curious.

Avid didn't ask any more questions, just asked with a smile: "Are you hungry? It's already noon, I'm going to make two steaks, do you want some red wine?"

Xu Shu thought that I might not be here to eat, so he said: "The guest is up to the owner, you can do whatever you want."

As soon as he said that, his eyes flashed.

Joseph came out from the basement, wiping his hands gracefully with a white handkerchief in his hand.

Xu Shu was still standing at the entrance, but the portraits on the wall were only those of Alia and Lauren, and the other two had become landscape paintings.

The portrait of Alia when he was young in his hand disappeared without a sound at some point.

At this time, Joseph walked into the living room, and he quickly saw Xu Shu from the corner of his eye. After a brief surprise, he turned his head and asked with a smile, "Why are you standing there?"

Xu Shu still couldn't adapt to this sudden change, and after a few seconds he said, "I'm looking at these paintings—you seem to be very good at painting, are you also the one who painted these two portraits?"

Joseph was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "No, of course not."

"Then do you know who painted it?" Xu Shu asked again.

"It should be the invited painter." Joseph didn't seem to like this topic very much, and after saying something casually, he walked to the sofa and sat down.

That position was facing away from Xu Shu's place, obviously because he didn't want to say more.

Xu Shu couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, but he couldn't grasp the exact clues, so he could only guess out of thin air in his heart.

He thought wildly, and went back to the living room. He couldn't help but look in the direction of the basement, wanting to go in and find out.

But Joseph was like a janitor on purpose, either in the basement or in a place where he could see the basement, not giving him a chance to go down at all.

There is no way to drag on like this, so Xu Shu had no choice but to ask directly: "Well, can I go to the basement to have a look? Is there a coffin or something like in the legend?"

Hearing this, Joseph turned his head to look at him, his beautiful eyes met his gaze, and stared at Xu Shu for several seconds.

Afterwards, he smiled slightly: "It's best not to go."

Xu Shu was dumb for a moment, and could only silently nod his head.

It seems that I can only find an opportunity to go secretly... How about going to the studio first?There should be a portrait of Alia hanging in this space, right?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Joseph quietly.

This person didn't know if he was deliberately guarding him, and he sat in the living room as if he had no intention of leaving.

That's all right--

Xu Shu yawned and stood up, and said lazily, "In this case, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while."

Joseph said please go easy, but still sat there without moving.But a book on the bookshelf in the corner of the living room flew over automatically and reached his hands.

It seems that he is going to read in the living room, so he will definitely not go upstairs in a short time, which is a good opportunity.

Seeing that the butler was busy in the kitchen and the maid was somewhere, Xu Shu felt that he was more confident in entering the studio this time.

He went upstairs quickly and saw the maid cleaning in the corridor on the second floor.

Seeing him coming up, the maid bowed, and Xu Shu hurriedly said, "You are busy with your work, I will go to the corridor on the top floor."

So all the way to the third floor, he opened the studio door carefully, and walked in gently like a thief.

Immediately, he looked at the place where the portrait should be hung - sure enough, the portrait of Alia in her youth was rightly placed there.

There are quite a few easels in the studio. Except for the semi-finished products that are being created, the others are covered with dustproof cloth, which should be completed paintings.

In addition, some framed paintings were placed in wooden boxes in the corner of the room. From a distance, only layers of frames could be seen, and it was not known what was painted.

Xu Shu's first choice was to look at the covered paintings.

And he thought that this time would be the same as before, and he might have to work hard to find some clues.

But what he didn't expect was that the moment the cloth on the first easel was lifted, a clue appeared in front of his eyes - it was a painting that Xu Shu was both familiar and unfamiliar.

What is familiar is the face of the character in the painting, what is unfamiliar is her demeanor and clothing.

This is a full body painting of Aaliyah in a long white dress.

In the picture, she has a sweet smile, beautiful and charming, and very young.

After Xu Shu was taken aback for a moment, he quickly lifted another dustproof cloth next to it—it was Alia again!

The third picture, the fourth picture... Among the covered paintings, most of them are Alia!

These paintings are definitely not works from a long time ago, so they must be painted by the current castle owner Joseph.

To paint so many paintings for the same woman tirelessly, and each one is very delicate, even a layman like him can see the sincerity of the painter. What else can this be except deeply in love with the other party?

Therefore, there is indeed an unknown secret between Joseph and Aliya.
