That painting book was Song Huici's gift to Ye Liuyuan, and it was also a confession of his heart and soul and love, but everything was fixed at that moment.

The sun was shining brightly, the curtain fell, and Ye Liuyuan fell in a pool of blood in front of him.

Everything after that became a silent black and white mime in the eyes of Song Huici. The exhibitors were shocked by this sudden atrocity, followed by panic. Some screamed, some called the police, and some called 120.

Song Huici almost instinctively picked up the curtain that had just fallen to the ground and pressed his hands on Ye Liuyuan's neck, but the blood still flowed out continuously, and the body in his arms gradually became cold.

A vicious murder occurred at the painting exhibition of a well-known painter. The perpetrator killed people in public and stabbed the carotid artery. The victim failed to reach the ambulance and died on the spot.

This incident shocked the world, and even because of Song Huici's reputation, there were many speculative speculations about this murder case.

In fact, later in the police investigation, the assailant was Mrs. Ye. She hid the murder weapon in the gap between the umbrella rib and the umbrella surface, escaped the metal detection security check, and brought it into the art exhibition. The motive was to avenge her son.

She always believed that it was father Ye, Ye Songhan and Ye Liuyuan who jointly framed Ye Borong and ruined his reputation.Father Ye and Ye Songhan were attending an economic forum abroad at the time, so Mrs. Ye focused on Ye Liuyuan.

To her, killing anyone is killing.

What's more, she knows too well that Father Ye, Ye Songhan, and Song Huici, compared to killing them, the death of Ye Liuyuan is the most painful thing for them!

This grievance, vendetta and killing disputes between wealthy families, coupled with Song Huici's last painting, love and hatred, kindness and resentment, have been things that the world has been talking about ever since.

After Ye Liuyuan's death, Song Huici lived in seclusion and never published any paintings.

The painting with the highest evaluation of him in later generations is the last "Scarlet Bloom", which is often used for appreciation and appreciation with his other painting - "The Man Who Bound Himself".

On the front, the hands are bound in front of the body, full of scars, but the vigorous rose on the back has pierced the flesh and all the restraints, and is proudly blooming.Love is rooted in the spine, and flesh and blood are fertile soil.Restraint and escape, pain and love, compared with the depression, gloom and coldness in Song Huici's previous paintings, this painting is more of an irrepressible and vigorous love and liberation.

So later connoisseurs speculated that this painting was painted by him for his lover, and it must be because he had a lover who made him make such a change, and he loved him deeply.

Someone has verified that the back of the person in the painting "Scarlet Bloom" is Song Huici's self-painting, so there are various opinions about who Song Huici's lover is and who this painting is for. and guesswork.

But the cruelest but widely circulated statement is that the person who was killed at the art exhibition, fell in a pool of blood, and died in Song Huici's arms was the person he loved.

-

As soon as he opened his eyes, Ye Liuyuan changed places.

He was lying on a bed in a monastery, and beside him stood a priest in a black monk's robe, who was just short of an "Amen".This situation almost made Ye Liuyuan feel that he was not in another world, but was dying and listening to the dying prayer.

In fact, he was almost there. The temperature of this body rose abnormally, and he was scalding hot all over.An elderly-looking priest was smearing some oily fluid on his forehead and said to him, "The Lord will bless you."

No, what you say makes me feel like I'm going to die again the moment I wake up.

Ye Liuyuan didn't know anything, and the fever made him extremely weak, so he simply closed his eyes and communicated with the system while recuperating.

"Mr. System, what happened in the last world?"

He only felt a chill on his neck, and then his eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything.

"Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye stabbed your carotid artery with a knife and died on the spot. Since your number of collectors has exceeded 100 and you successfully completed the task, the system helped you shield the pain of death." The system replied.

"Is this the way you said to leave the world as soon as possible?" Ye Liuyuan was a little shocked, this was a bit too tragic, the system still doesn't force the task to be completed, if he doesn't complete it, will he have to experience being stabbed to death several times feelings.

Ye Liuyuan couldn't help asking: "Do I have to go through this every time I leave the world? Isn't there a more gentle way?"

"Mr. Ye, I will give you two choices after you complete the task: one is to leave the world as soon as possible, and the other is to stay in this world until you die naturally. Choice one, I will help you arrange a death as soon as possible, and help you escape, escape The way of death is not optional for you for the time being."

"why?"

"Because you haven't reached a certain level, Mr. Ye, the world in the eyes of the system is different from yours. What you think of as doom, accident, and fate are just choices again and again in the eyes of the system, and every choice happened at the same time."

"To put it simply, for you, time is a line, and it is a one-way line. You can only make one choice and go straight forward, and you cannot go back. But for the system, time is a plane. This There are countless lines distributed on the plane. And the system can make a choice for you among the countless lines, but you who are on the line cannot touch another line and make a choice.”

Ye Liuyuan is a liberal arts student in the history department. He can only roughly understand the system, but he is still not very clear.

As if feeling Ye Liuyuan's struggle, the system further explained: "For example, in the eyes of the system, everything happened at the same time. At the moment you were stabbed and died on the spot, you in another timeline May be alive, and live until natural death. There are countless possibilities in countless timelines. For you, what happens is what happened. For the system, it can make choices for you at the intersection points of these timelines. "

The art exhibition was that important timeline transition point. Ye Liuyuan chose to leave before that, and the system naturally helped him choose death.

Ye Liuyuan was silent, he probably understood it, and didn't delve into the reason behind it, of course he couldn't understand it, he just asked: "What if I choose not to leave?"

"The system will help you choose another timeline that is different from the timeline of death." The system replied: "Only if you complete the task, I can choose the best one among countless timelines for you to ensure that you will not die." The one that re-enters death at the junction of the timeline later. In simple terms, it is to ensure that after you complete the task and choose to stay, you will not encounter any accidents or suffer from any terminal illness, and live until your body dies naturally .”

"If I don't finish it..." Ye Liuyuan hesitated.

"Then the system can only say sorry, but it does not guarantee that you will not encounter other fatal possibilities after choosing to stay, such as car accidents, murders, terminal illnesses, etc."

So say no to force completion, all in plain sight.

Complete the task, you can choose to stay or leave.If you choose to stay, you will be free from disease and disaster, and live a long life, and if you choose to leave, you will not have to experience the pain of death.

But this time he left and was stabbed in the carotid artery, and it was still in front of Song Huici... Ye Liuyuan sighed, probably it would leave some psychological shadow on him.

But... thinking of Song Huici, he remembered the last time he saw the painting, the rose growing from the back of the person in the painting.

Ye Liuyuan was silent for a while, her heart was extremely complicated.

The system said: "Mr. Ye has 424 points at this time, are you ready to accept the mission of this world and the memory of the original owner?"

"Okay." Ye Liuyuan silently accepted the information from the system.

His current body is named Enoch, and his identity is the new Earl Aaron. The old Earl Aaron is a faithful believer. When he felt that he was about to lose his strength, he took the original owner all the way to the "Holy City on Earth" Valentin, known as the "Kingdom of God on Earth", went safely to the kingdom of heaven in his heart under the auspices of the priest.

The will left by Enoch must undergo baptism and become a monk before he can return to Aaron County to inherit the title and territory.

However, the original owner seemed to be too much influenced by the old Earl Aaron. Not only did he undergo baptism, but he also received the sacrament of Holy Orders and became a formal priest.This time he returned from Valentin to his territory, Aaron County. In addition to being a legitimate successor, it was also because the archbishop appointed him as the assistant bishop of the Aaron Diocese. Hugh abdicated, and Enoch could succeed him as bishop.

Unfortunately, there was an unforeseen event, and Enoch caught cold on the way back to his fief from Valentin. The exhaustion from the long journey and the wind and cold, the turbulent disease took away the young life of the original owner, and then came the arrival of Ye Liuyuan up.

At this time, Ye Liuyuan was lying in the monastery in Aaron County. The bishop who came to see him just now was anointed with holy oil.It is very precious and has many uses, one of which is to get rid of diseases.

No way, Ye Liuyuan's memory shows that there are many places in this world that are quite similar to the Middle Ages, and the rudimentary and cheating medical methods happen to be similar.

But this time Yeliuyuan's mission is——

[Looking for the holy object: Aaron, a gift from God, the land promised by God, it is said that God once left a holy object here, which is the proof of his promise to return to the world and bring the final judgment. 】

Relic...

Ye Liuyuan faintly felt the pit, and to be honest, it didn't specify what the holy object was in the mission.Is it a ring, a scepter, or a cloth book?You must know that even the cup used by God is the Holy Grail. According to this theory, there is nothing wrong with God tearing off a branch and claiming it is a holy object. It is proof.

But if this is the case, Yeliuyuan will face the situation of finding a needle in a haystack again.

Sure enough, the tasks given by the system were the same as before, but no matter how difficult they were, he had to work hard to complete them. He didn't want to have the opportunity to experience the feeling of death when he left the world.
