[Zhongyingmei] Brother does not follow the plot

Because he didn't know where the ghost was hiding and when he would strike again, there was another pile of oil bottles in the hall, so Sam called a few people to the kitchen to get salt.In any case, let's set up a salt ring for protection first.

Regardless of whether there is salt in the kitchen, there are fifty kilograms of pure salt in the space of Sam's left sword, which is enough.

Sam led people to move the salt, and Dean walked to Lister Roderick.

Lister Roderick hadn't been involved in the dispute before, and he sat quietly on the stairs throughout the whole process, with his hands folded into towers and his eyes contemplative.

"Lister, do you know that ghost?" Dean lowered his voice and asked Lister Roderick.

"It's not acquaintance." Dean's voice woke up Liszt Roderick from his contemplation. He pinched the bridge of his nose, his expression full of disbelief, and said, "I've seen him, in the painting."

***

Of course, this manor, which was built more than 100 years ago, did not always belong to Liszt Roderick. Strictly speaking, it was inherited by Liszt Roderick from his uncle.

Lister Roderick is of mixed British and American blood, his father is from a conglomerate with strong capital in the United States, and his mother is from an ancient British aristocratic family.This kind of combination is not uncommon in the upper class. There will always be a new generation of rich and powerful families who want to marry a lady from an old family in order to add heritage to their family.

Lister Roderick's full name is Lister Stirling Roderick, Stirling is the surname of his mother's family, and the current Marquess of Stirling in England is Lister Roderick's cousin.

There were five children in Liszt Roderick's mother's generation, four sons and one daughter. His mother was the youngest one, and she was ten years behind her fourth brother.

The huge age gap did not make Liszt Roderick's mother more favored. Apart from her good relationship with her fourth brother, her relationship with the other three brothers was indifferent.

His mother married to the United States, which in the eyes of other British aristocratic families is simply resignation.In their view, the aristocratic women who would agree to marry Yankees were the kind whose families were poor and had no money to maintain their dignity, and the Sterling family obviously shouldn't belong to this category.

In fact, his mother just didn't like the so-called aristocratic atmosphere in England, plus she met Liszt Roderick's father when she was in school, and she fell in love and got married freely, naturally.

Not long after she married to the United States, she heard that her fourth brother had a falling out with the family, and he also came to the United States.

The Sterling family is not short of money, even if it is a member who broke up and ran away, the fund and property under his name are enough to maintain him a decent life.

This manor is the property that Lord Stirling bought after he arrived in the United States. He built the manor into the appearance of a castle and lived here all his life.Before he died of illness, he left a will, and he, who was never married, left everything in this manor to Lister Roderick.

"At that time, I was six years old." Liszt Roderick fell into the memory, and said slowly: "I like Uncle Julian very much, so I often come to the manor to play. Once..."

Once, when he woke up from a nap, the manor was quiet, almost dead silent.

The young Liszt Roderick was gearing up, and stepped into the attic that was forbidden by his uncle as a joke.

His uncle told him that there are monsters in the attic, monsters that eat children.Therefore, he can play freely in the whole manor, except for the attic.

But the more a child's curiosity is suppressed, the more exuberant it becomes.Lister Roderick obediently agreed on the surface, but in his heart he had already designated the attic as a location for his future adventures.

That day, he quietly went to the attic.

Fortunately, the attic door was unlocked.

Lister Roderick gently pushed open the attic door.

To Lister Roderick's surprise, Lord Sterling was also in the attic, but he was too focused to notice a crack in the door that was slowly pushed open.

Lister Roderick's eyes widened, and he looked quietly through the crack of the door.

He saw the young man standing in front of Lord Sterling, with long blond hair, a pale and beautiful face, and those emerald-like eyes, the corners of his bright red lips were slightly raised, and his casual smile made him feel like sitting still. The gods in the clouds have attracted the worship of countless believers.

He heard Lord Stirling's voice, full of pain.

"You are so beautiful and so young. Dorian, my love, you are the fountain of my life, the anchor of my soul, the only meaning of my existence. I would do anything for you, don't leave me , the only thing I can't stand is leaving..."

The young Liszt Roderick was dazzled by the beauty he had never seen before, and he knocked on the door of the attic without paying attention, which alarmed Lord Sterling.

Lord Sterling turned his head abruptly, and his usual gentle and generous appearance suddenly became angry and ferocious.He was like a dragon that had stolen a treasure, and the sudden killing intent frightened Liszt Roderick.

At that time, Liszt Roderick noticed that the young man who was so beautiful that he was not a living person, he was a portrait hanging on the wall of the attic, but it was too lifelike, plus Liszt Rodrik Ke was still young at the time, so he thought it was a real person at first glance.

Lister Roderick couldn't take his eyes off it, because the people in the painting were so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off it.However, his too focused gaze attracted the wrath of his uncle, Lord Stirling.

Much later, Lister Roderick realized that this anger was born of jealousy.

He had never seen such an uncle before. Lord Stirling was like an angry bull. He strode forward and grabbed his neck with his hand.

At that moment, in the eyes of Lord Stirling, the young Lister Roderick was not his nephew, not his sister's only son, but a man who coveted his treasure.

Liszt Roderick, who was only six years old at the time, was taken aback by his uncle showing such an expression. He backed away almost subconsciously, tripped over the threshold without paying attention, fell to the ground with the back of his head on the ground, and fell unconscious.

At the moment before he fell into a coma, he vaguely saw the eyeballs of the beautiful young man in the frame move, as if looking towards him.

Lister Roderick was in a coma for several hours. When he woke up, he was already lying on the bed in the guest room, with Lord Sterling's personal doctor sitting beside him.

The doctor told Lister Roderick that he fell down while playing in the garden and fell unconscious on the back of his head. It was Lord Stirling who carried him back to his room and called the private doctor.There was nothing serious about him, but he was going to be dizzy for a while.

After the private doctor left, his uncle walked into the room. He smiled gently as usual, stroking Liszt Roderick's forehead with his warm palms. He spoke softly, but what he said was scary. To the then Lister Roderick.

Lord Stirling said that Dorian was his lover, and any man or woman who coveted him, even his relatives, would kill him/her with his own hands.

Lister Roderick was severely frightened, and developed a fever that night.After recovering from his illness, he never visited Stirling Manor from time to time as before.

That was the only time Liszt Roderick saw the painting, but the glimpse at that time still had a profound impact on Liszt Roderick, such as his aesthetics, he especially loved blonde hair and green eyes .As for what he seemed to see moving the eyes of the person in the painting, Lister Roderick thought he was dazzled.

Three years ago, Lord Stirling died of illness, and Lister Roderick inherited the manor according to his will.He originally thought that he would inherit the painting, and his heart was full of surprises and expectations, but when he checked the collection of the manor, he was disappointed to find that there was no such painting in the collection.

The manor steward told Lister Roderick that Lord Stirling took his favorite with him when he died.

Lister Roderick reckoned that nine out of ten the painting had been taken to the grave by his uncle.

Digging his uncle's grave for a painting was too much for Lister Roderick, so he gave up.

Without Lord Sterling's obstruction, Lister Roderick rolled up his sleeves and explored the places he was interested in back then, and found a pile of manuscripts in the mezzanine of the attic.He opened it and found that it was a love letter written by Lord Stirling, and it was all written to a man named Dorian Gray.

Dorian Gray, without a doubt, was the name of the man in the painting.

This is a very common name, but combined with the novel titled "The Picture of Dorian Gray" that Lord Stirling kept in his study, Lister Roderick couldn't help thinking, the author of that painting Did you draw such a portrait because you were addicted to that novel?His uncle got it by chance, and then he was attracted by the painting, fascinated by the painting of Dorian Gray.

From then on, Lister Roderick had the idea of ​​putting that novel on the big screen again, and even wrote the script himself.

After writing the script, Liszt Roderick hired a professional screenwriter to polish the script for him, and then he has the current film project.Lister Roderick is an outsider, but he has the capital to invite a group of big names to participate in the production of the film, and he can also be willful in the casting of the film.

Dean knew what happened after that. The casting of the actor was stuck on the leading actor. After a lot of tossing around, he couldn't find the Dorian Gray in his mind. …

The corner of Dean's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help thinking that the leading actor candidates died one after another, maybe it was because Dorian Gray in the painting thought those people were not good enough to play him, or he was dissatisfied with his own character. The story is played out?

Judging by the previous comments, it's quite possible.

"The Portrait of Dorian Gray" is certainly a novel, but if that portrait had a prototype, and a part of that person's flesh and blood was mixed in when it was created, it is indeed possible for an unwilling soul to cling to the painting.

Dean was [-]% sure that the painting was not destroyed or buried with Lord Stirling, but was hidden somewhere in the manor.
