Paintings of Terror

According to the investigations of the Winter Art Museum by the painters in advance, most of the works displayed in this exhibition hall are the works of some unknown painters, but there is also a painting by a famous artist as the treasure of the town hall, which is estimated to be worth a lot. Thousands of 800 million, is a hyper-realistic portrait of a character.

In addition, there are one or two more well-known works, one is a still life of fruit and the other is a flower.

As for other paintings, there are various genres, ranging from ancient landscapes to futuristic fantasy.

Everyone has done some in-depth understanding of the paintings that can be found, although judging from the urine nature of "paintings", the last ones that let everyone in are mostly new paintings that came out of nowhere for various reasons.

And when the light that was born out of thin air shone on the painting that was about to enter this time, the old members were a little surprised, because the painting this time was an exhibit that already existed in the museum, and everyone had known about it beforehand. The content of this painting, and the painter who created it——

"Schrödinger's Cat", artist: Cheng Ji.

But this did not make the members who entered the painting feel a little comfort or joy, because this painting is really... hard to describe.

After the leading light in the painting faded away, everyone was already in a room with snow-white top, bottom and four walls.

The room has no doors and windows, just like a fully sealed snow-white box, the six white walls are bare, and there is no light source, but the room is bright and majestic.

The participants stood in the middle of the "box", looked at each other, and did not speak for a long time.

When Schrödinger's cat is in a sealed box, its state is both alive and dead.

This is the knowledge that Mu Yiran popularized for the scumbags when he was investigating information about this painting.

But now, the painters seem to be cats in a box, who can live and die instantly.

But the picture content of this painting has nothing to do with the cat, nor does it have anything to do with the box.

This is a work that is closer to abstract art. It is based on black, and the picture is covered with white dots and waves, forming a picture that looks disorderly and shapeless.

"Although it seems that I am ignorant to say so, but to be honest, I have always felt that abstract painters are all lunatics. They see the world differently from others, and their way of thinking is also different from others. In other words In other words, their brain structure is different from others.” Ke Xun once said at that time.

"You are at least right in one sentence. The world in the eyes of abstract painters is different from that of ordinary people." Speaking of his professional knowledge, Wei Dong talked eloquently, "The process of abstraction is the process of purification. Abstract painters Refuse to imitate nature - Imitation of nature is the traditional concept of painting.

"Abstract painters put aside the superficial phenomena that nature presents to people, and rely on intuition and imagination to feel the essence of natural phenomena. In a word, it is 'seeing the essence through phenomena', and then eliminate all irrelevant, flashy, and deceptive Extracting the purest and cleanest elements, and finally embodying them in the simplest form, this is called abstraction.

"That's why some people say that the world in the eyes of abstract painters is the real world, and what we ordinary people see is a processed, unreal and vain world."

After investigating the information related to this painting, everyone learned that the artist of the painting, Cheng Zhi, was no longer alive, and the way of his death was also very chilling—this person committed suicide and died in his own studio.

Before his death, he arranged the studio into a sealed room, and placed a volatile poisonous gas that could kill people in the secret room. There was a hammer above the container containing the poisonous gas that could destroy the container—of course, his body was found By then, the hammer had broken the container and released the poisonous gas.

——This person regards himself as Schrödinger's cat, and arranges his studio as a box with Schrödinger's cat inside.

And this painting was his last work before his death. It was originally without a name, but because of the way of his death, it was finally named "Schrödinger's Cat".

So when everyone saw this painting for the first time, they didn't understand why the painting was named so. Obviously, there were no boxes or cats on the painting. Gimmicks, to add mystery and artistic value to the painting.

But right now, when the entrants enter the painting and are in a space like a sealed box, everyone is caught off guard by this unexpected but seemingly reasonable fact. speechless.

"...So the name of this painting is not for a gimmick?" After a long time, Luo Kuo tremblingly opened his mouth, breaking the silence.

"...Then are we alive or dead now?" Wei Dong, who had been popularized about "Schrödinger's cat" by the herdsman, also asked tremblingly.

"Of course it is alive, but when we start to break the game, we can't be sure." Ke Xun said.

"The key is such an empty room, what kind of game can we set up for us? Could it be that poisonous gas will be released in the room to see who can live and who can die, and then use this method to screen every night for seven days?" Wei Dong was shocked. Scratching his own face.

"If it's really that simple and rude, then what are all the paintings we have entered before?" Ke Xun shook his head, "Let's wait and see what happens, I feel that if there are not enough people, there will be no relevant prompts or explanations."

Everyone looked for a place, or stood or leaned or sat down and waited.However, Shao Ling didn't give up. He still went around the whole room, checked all the places that could be checked, and finally confirmed that there was no hidden mechanism.

In the process of waiting for follow-up personnel to enter the painting, the painters are also taking the time to discuss this painting.

There are many speculations in the industry about what kind of "essence of things" is expressed in this painting. Some say it is the program's thinking about the essence of life, some say it is his imagination of death, and others say it is It is the inner world that is confused, confused, angry and sad.

"In fact, before the death of the program, there were already mental problems. He had been in a mental rehabilitation institution for a year and a half," Mu Yiran investigated the most detailed information, "This person is very quiet and willing to think— —but this was only before his onset. His life had experienced a huge change. After this change, he had serious mental problems, resulting in cognitive dysfunction. Unbelievably, This did not affect his ability to paint. This painting was drawn after he fell ill, so some people say that this painting does not have any thinking value. It is just a chaotic and absurd world in the eyes of a real madman. .”

"The big accident was probably because he lost his beloved son," Qin Ci sighed softly, "his only son who was in high school couldn't bear the pressure of study and the teacher's accusation, and never The jump from the roof of the school building was a huge blow to the program, and it went crazy overnight."

"Yi Ran and I went to Cheng Shi's former residence and conducted interviews with his relatives and neighbors," Ke Xun continued, "We learned that Cheng Shi really loves his son, unlike many families today. The phenomenon of "zombie father" is that his son has spent nearly all of his time with him since he was very young, such as watching cartoons with him, playing various games that children like, and even He personally drew a comic book full of imagination and childishness for his son.

"Because of this, he couldn't bear the death of his son. According to his neighbors, during the period when his son just passed away, every night he could hear Cheng Zhi crying like a wild animal in his own home.

"Once when his relatives and friends went to visit him, they found that his room was full of toys and clothes that his son had played with since he was a child. At that time, Cheng Cheng was sitting on the ground, holding his son The little clothes I wore when I was one or two years old lost my soul, like a living dead without a soul..."

"Brother, what does zombie father mean?" Luo Que asked.

"It means not fulfilling the responsibilities of being a father. Letting a child have a father is the same as having no father. All the things that should be done for the child are seldom or never done. They have not taken the responsibility of caring and raising the child. "Ke Xun said, "A father who is always absent in the child's life is no different from a living dead to the child in this family. Some men just care about giving birth and don't care about raising children, and regard raising children as women I don’t have to pay anything, I just wait for the children to grow up and pick peaches to eat. Hehe, man.”

Everyone: "..."

"So Cheng is a rare and good father, but because of too much and deep love, he was hit harder and harder." Zhu Haowen said.

"This painting is the only painting drawn by Chengzi after his son's death, and it is also the last painting in his life," Mu Yiran continued, "Just like the industry's analysis of this painting, maybe he showed After experiencing the death of his son, Cheng Cheng thought about life and explored death. However, since he was indeed mentally abnormal at that time, is the content shown in this painting still thinking and exploring? Logically, I'm afraid it's impossible to know."

"That is to say, if this painting is really just the random graffiti of a completely crazy person, then the situation we will face, I am afraid..." Shao Ling's words behind him were silent, but everyone understood what he wanted to express the meaning of.

How chaotic, disordered,... how terrifying would be the mental world of a lunatic?

Everyone was waiting to continue the discussion, when they suddenly felt a white light from no source lit up in the sealed room. There were two more people in the room.

These are two young men, a man and a woman. The man is fair and handsome, and the woman is mature and glamorous. Both of their faces are painted with appropriate shades of makeup. Although the clothes on their bodies look simple and ordinary, if you look closely, you will find that they are after Well-matched and designed, it can maximize the advantages of the two people's figures, and can also cover up the shortcomings to the greatest extent.

The most eye-catching thing is the dazzling brilliance exuded from the two personalities, which makes them stand out from the crowd no matter how many people they stand in.

The first time these two people appeared in the room, they were stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly, and immediately put on a calm expression. The woman showed her face and smiled at everyone in the room, and said in a sweet voice: " My God, what's going on here?"

Ke Xun turned to look at Qin Ci: "Brother Qin, your job is here."
