Escape From the Library

【Phantom in the painting-13】

Two of the abstract paintings on the first floor have already unlocked the plot in the painting, leaving two "Dreamland" and "Anna's Light".

Both paintings are in a minimalist style. Among them, "Dream" only draws a few black lines on the white canvas. The curved lines are drawn very casually, and it is impossible to see what shape the painting is; while "Anna's Light "is even more unbelievable. On the red canvas, a thin white line stands in the middle, dividing the canvas in two.

Ke Shaobin walked up to the two paintings, adjusted his glasses, and observed carefully: "How do I unlock these two paintings?"

Xu Feixue said: "I think Xingwen's analysis just now is correct. The first painting can be unlocked with an eraser, the second painting can be unlocked with a palette, and the remaining two paintings may use the brush skills of the Academy of Fine Arts. As long as students successfully pass the previous courses, they can basically learn these three skills when they come to the Art Academy."

Yue Xingwen agreed: "Try it, copy it with a brush."

Xu Feixue took out a pen, turned the brush into black, and traced along the lines of the third painting "Dreamland" from beginning to end.After she finished drawing the lines, phantoms really appeared in the painting!

The black lines in the abstract painting "Dreamland" split, extend, and run around at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally converge into characters, forming a diary in black and white.

——is a diary written by Leah in her teenage years.

"Last night I had another dream. In the dream, I turned into a 7-year-old child and came to a garden full of sunflowers. My parents accompanied me to play in the garden. The family had a good time. My mother also said, I It is her most cherished baby.

However, after waking up from the dream, I saw my mother went to the garden with my younger brother and shoveled away the sunflowers I just planted yesterday. She planted a lot of vegetables in the garden and said that she wanted to give my younger brother the healthiest food.

Dreams are indeed deceiving.

Mom and Dad only like my younger brother Kevin. They only buy toys for him, but they are reluctant to buy me a set of paintbrushes, saying that it is a waste of money for me to practice painting.My younger brother’s toy car costs thousands of dollars, and his house is full of toy cars, but my set of brushes only costs a few hundred dollars.

Every year on my younger brother’s birthday, my mother would buy him new clothes, take him to the playground, set off fireworks for him at home, and call his little friends to hold a birthday party for him.And my birthday, they don't remember at all.

I spent a month copying the painting with painstaking efforts, and it was ruined by the bastard Kevin with red ink, and my mother would only say, don't blame your brother, he was just careless, who told you to put the painting there .

He broke into my bedroom, ruined my hard work, and it was my fault in the end?

Sometimes, I really want to leave this indifferent home, and I even wish that the whole family would die! ! "

The characters on the paper danced wildly in front of my eyes, all the black handwriting turned red like blood, and the exclamation mark at the end was shocking.

Lin Manluo frowned and said, "Are Leah's parents typical partiality?"

Lan Yarong was helpless: "It is difficult to heal the psychological damage caused by eccentric parents. The relationship between Leah and her parents should be very bad, so after her parents died, she was willing to be adopted by the Rolands?"

Ke Shaobin said: "So, after Leah came to Roland's house, she hugged the cat every day to eavesdrop on the family's movements, not to find out the truth about her parents' death and avenge her parents?" He paused, then turned to look at his teammates They: "It was mentioned in Leah's diary that she wished that the whole family would die. Could the death of her parents be related to her?"

Liu Zhaoqing guessed: "Leah also has a younger brother named Kevin, but in all the plot clips we have seen so far, this younger brother does not appear. Could it be that her younger brother died in that car accident with her parents?"

Xu Yishen narrowed his eyes and said, "If both her parents and younger brother died in a car accident, then she would be the only heir to the property. Remember the gossip I heard before, Leah's parents are quite rich, right?"

Several classmates looked at each other and looked at each other.

With the appearance of the "brother" and the diary, things became more and more confusing.

Yue Xingwen whispered, "Look at the fourth painting."

Xu Feixue changed the brush to white, and painted from top to bottom along the white line in the middle of the fourth canvas. The red canvas seemed to have a door split in the middle, revealing the illusion inside.

A strange plot began to play in the canvas, and the time went back to middle school. Leah wore her school uniform to attend the summer camp, because she had exchanged groups with Alice before, and she came to A with the blue card she got from Alice. Group check-in.

Group A has more than 30 students, half male and half male.Among them was a tall blond boy with a very handsome appearance. He was holding a guitar, sitting there playing and singing softly, and many girls around showed nympho expressions.

Leah stood alone in the corner, staring intently at the handsome boy in the sun until he noticed her gaze, stepped forward with a smile, and offered her a hand: "Hello, I'm Jack from class 10, your name is what name?"

Leah ran away in a panic.

Later in the summer camp, Jack always came to chat with Leah with a smile on his face. Every time Leah sat silently drawing in a corner, he would come over and praise: "Your paintings are so beautiful." You will definitely become an excellent painter, and when the time comes for your solo exhibition, remember to give me a ticket."...

Fragmentary fragments kept flickering across the screen, like promotional clips of youth movies.

The boy with a bright smile and the girl who was unhappy met each other that summer and became friends.The boys played the piano and sang, and the girls drew seriously. The scene was as beautiful as a dream.

On the day the summer camp ended, Jack said goodbye to her with a smile, and offered to say, "Come to my house for the weekend!"

Leah hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

On the weekend, Leah picked the most beautiful dress from the closet and came to Jack's house.To her surprise, Jack actually prepared a romantic candlelight dinner and gave Leah a gemstone necklace, saying softly: "Today is your birthday, you are the most beautiful girl in the world, happy birthday. "

Leah was moved to the point of tears, so she didn't run away when Jack leaned over to kiss her.Teenage boys and girls are getting out of control. Jack takes Leah to his bedroom and closes the door.

Yue Xingwen looked at the dancing candlelight in the dining room, and analyzed: "Anna's light, this painting should represent the only light in Leah's heart. She was not valued by her parents since she was a child, and she has a withdrawn personality. Only Jack cares about her. Celebrating her birthday alone and carefully preparing gifts for her, she must have liked this boy very much at the time and felt that he was here to save her."

Jiang Pingce frowned and said, "It's a pity that Jack is not a lover. We also know that he married Alice later. When he approached Leah, he didn't necessarily like her...Look here." A framed photo in an inconspicuous corner of the living room said: "The family portrait of the four must be the parents and brothers Jack and Rhodes."

Yue Xingwen was keenly aware of the familiar necklace on a boy's neck in the photo.He thought carefully about the plot in the painting "Blackboard", and said, "The crescent-shaped necklace on this boy's neck is exactly the same as the necklace worn by the little boy who intentionally painted the blackboard."

Ke Shaobin said excitedly: "I understand! When I was young, I deliberately scribbled on the blackboard drawn by Leah. When I was in middle school, I sat in the corner of the classroom and peeked at Leah. This boy who had a crush on Leah always wore a crescent-shaped necklace around his neck—— He is Rhodes!"

Jiang Pingce nodded: "That's right. I guess, Jack should know that Leah is the girl his brother has a crush on, so his purpose of approaching Leah is not pure, it is probably just for fun." He looked at Yue Xingwen, He whispered: "Actually, when Jack appeared in the plot of this painting, I felt that he was a sea king."

Qin Miao said coldly: "Indeed, when I stick to Leah every day and say 'Your paintings are very aura', 'You will be an excellent painter in the future', it's as if honey has been applied to your mouth, and only Leah is so innocent. The girls will be cheated by him."

Qin Lu said indignantly: "He took the girl home on the first date, and he has a lot of experience! He knew that Leah was the girl his brother had a crush on. It is very likely that he went to approach Leah just to prove that he was better than his brother. stronger?"

The girl that the elder brother had a crush on for many years but failed to catch up with, was easily slept by himself. For Jack, this may be a kind of talk worth showing off, and only Leah at that time would regard him as a light.

Ke Shaobin said in a complicated mood: "These brothers don't have a good thing. After Rhodes married Daisy, didn't he also take care of mistresses outside? Can the scumbag gene of this family be inherited?"

Xin Yan calmly said: "So, who is the murderer who killed Leah?"

At present, the abstract paintings on the first floor and some hanging paintings on the second floor have been unlocked, and there are two remaining paintings that have not been unlocked, namely the hanging painting "Mona Lisa" at the entrance on the second floor and "Sunflower" on the second floor.

Yue Xingwen said decisively: "Go to the second floor and take a look at the most important "Mona Lisa" painting."

Everyone followed the stairs to the second floor.

The painting at the porch is the weirdest. Sometimes the picture flips to reveal a second face, and sometimes the woman in the painting opens her bloody mouth and lets out a sinister laugh. At this moment, the woman in the painting is staring at them, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly .

Ke Shaobin was so horrified by her laughter, he whispered, "Where is the mechanism of this painting?"

Yue Xingwen looked at Xu Feixue, who shook his head, expressing that he had no idea either.

Jiang Pingce walked to the painting with a calm expression. He carefully observed the corners of the woman's mouth in the painting at close range. After a while, he suddenly said: "There is a phantom at the corner of her mouth. This painting should be multi-layered. made."

Ke Shaobin was taken aback: "Multiple layers?"

Jiang Pingce said: "Draw several layers of paintings, stack them together, and then quickly change the picture, we can see different dynamic changes. I remember Xu Feixue said that when Da Vinci painted this painting, he also superimposed on the original painting. Yeah, that's why the Mona Lisa has a second face, right?"

Xu Feixue's eyes lit up: "I see! The way to unlock this painting should be peeling off. Every time a layer is peeled off, there will be clues to a layer, until we peel off the original picture!"
