Something's wrong with my roommate

Chapter 622 The Mysterious Oil Painting

Clara didn't know what the patriarch saw on the moon. She only knew that the power of the moon god brought back by the patriarch was poisonous, and it was extremely poisonous.

Every clansman who comes into contact with the power of the moon god will gradually lose his mind, become insane, unable to communicate, and die like poisoning.

Originally, the moral level of their group was quite high, at least higher than the average level of the United States. However, after being poisoned, their moral level declined rapidly, and they even began to privately arrest innocent people for bloody sacrifices to the moon god.

Until the end, even the patriarch herself went completely crazy. She turned herself into a cocoon and distributed the power of the moon god to every clansman.

Absorb their spirit and reason, and build a big net to spread the power of the moon god continuously, like a virus, infecting everyone.

Originally, many people in the ethnic group had doubts about the power of the Moon God, but in the end they were all infected and poisoned, and everyone lost their minds and became a mental hospital directly.

Clara couldn't just watch the entire clan be destroyed like this. She tried to kill the patriarch but failed. In the end, she could only use the power inherited by the saint to separate the entire Moon Temple from reality before the power of the Moon God spread out. Drag it into the shadows to prevent the power of the moon god from spreading outward.

All the believers of the Moon God were trapped in the Temple of the Moon God by Clara. Their bodies and spirits have been polluted by the power of the Moon God, only their souls are still pure.

So Clara exiled their souls to live outside to avoid being eroded and polluted by the power of the moon god.

This is why after Qiu Gongyue and others came to Bolt Castle, the Luna believers they saw all had a warm and good character, because Clara took away the dark elements in their souls.

Mia and Nina are two of the few people who can remain conscious under the influence of the moon god's power.

But they believed in the words of the patriarch, and believed that through the power of the moon god, the entire group could gain eternal life and strength.

To a certain extent, the two of them were crazier than ordinary Luna believers, so not only did they not appreciate Clara's actions, but instead led the believers to surround Clara in the Moon Temple.

Clara has also been trying to bypass them to destroy the patriarch who has turned into a cocoon, but has been unsuccessful, and the two sides have remained in a stalemate.

Clara didn't know how to solve this problem, she could only try her best to trap the Moon Temple, and hoped for a miracle to happen. Fortunately, she could live for many years after inheriting the inheritance of the saint, and she didn't have to worry about the end of her life.

Over the years, the two parties have even reached a tacit agreement that a sacrifice to the moon will be held on the 15th of every month, so that the souls outside will return to the Moon Temple.

Mia and Nina used this method to ensure that the souls of the believers would not escape the control of the moon god, while Clara hoped that these souls would not leave the body for too long, causing damage.

During this period, many people entered the Temple of the Moon by mistake. Although this place was stripped of reality by Clara, making it impossible for people inside to get out, Mia was able to use the power of the Moon God to corrode some tiny holes , to drag outsiders in.

At the beginning, Clara hoped that these outsiders could help her break the current deadlock, but later found that almost all of these outsiders had been corrupted to become believers of the moon god, and none of them was on her side.

In the end, Clara simply stopped showing her face and kept hiding in the Moon Temple.

A few people before Qiu Gongyue, the last person to enter the Moon Temple was Ellie.

She didn't believe in the brainwashing of Mia and Nina, because she was an undercover agent sent by the Shadow Sect, trying to find Clara's whereabouts in the Moon Temple.

Unfortunately, Mia and Nina discovered her identity, and she was quickly arrested.

Clara only had time to send Ellie's soul out, and her body remained in the Moon Temple.

Under the protection of the power of death, people in the Moon Temple will not die. In order to force Clara to come forward, Mia and Nina have been torturing Ellie non-stop, killing her every seven days.

Clara was not fooled, she sealed Ellie's memories of the torture, and let her live in Bolt Castle like the rest.

But Ellie still remembers her undercover mission, so she has been quietly running to the library to find clues about the Temple of the Moon.

It's just that because of the death of the corpse, her memory will be cleared during this period, and she will go to the library again seven days later to repeat the previous actions.

Qiu Gongyue finally exposed the fact that there were a lot of scars left on Mia's body, and Ellie finally recalled everything she had suffered. It happened to be the fifteenth day of each month. Under the strong stimulation, her soul ran directly back to the moon In the temple.

In the end, the appearance of Qiu Gongyue made Clara finally see the dawn of solving the decades-long tragedy of their group, so she appeared again and again to help Qiu Gongyue out of danger.

And this is what Mia expected. On the first night when Akimiya came to Bolt Castle, Mia used the power of the moon god to drag Akimiya's spirit and soul into the Moon Temple, just to Bring out Clara who has been hiding all this time, and get rid of her completely.

After listening to Clara's narration, all the observers had a question in their hearts.

Qiu Gongyue even asked directly: "Why do you and Mia think that I am the key?"

It was the first day she came to Bolt Castle, and Mia actually thought that she could lure Clara who had been hiding all this time, and Clara was really lured out because of her.

"Because when Mia saw your face, she knew that you were special, and knew that I would never miss the opportunity to contact you."

Clara turned around and stared at Qiu Gongyue's face: "Mia's guess is correct. Seeing your face, I feel nervous and excited, and I want to get in touch with you even at the risk of risk."

"What's wrong with my face?"

Qiu Gongyue touched her face subconsciously. Since she abandoned her identity as a killer, she has never put on a mask for herself, and has always acted with her true colors.

Xu Cheng also turned his head to look at Qiu Gongyue's face, maybe it's because Xi Shi is in the eyes of beholders, he feels that her face is really never tired of looking at it, the more beautiful it is, and it is not inferior to those goddesses like Elizabeth and Amaterasu.

But no matter how beautiful it is, it's not worth Mia and Clara's attention, right?

Could it be that these two people are good-looking dogs who only care about their looks?

Nanyun Minghai said what Xu Cheng was thinking from the side: "Could you be a scheming female ketone?"

"Don't make such jokes with a centenarian like me."

Clara gave Nagumo Narumi a blank look, then stopped in her tracks: "The answer is right here."

Only then did everyone discover that she led them through the complex maze-like environment to a secret room.

Accompanied by a soft creaking sound, Clara pushed open the door and walked in first.

The rest of the people followed closely, and found that the secret room was empty, without any furniture, only a lifelike oil painting hung on the wall.

Everyone subconsciously raised their heads to look at the oil painting, and then Qi Qi showed a surprised expression, Nagumo Narumi even blurted out: "Sister Yue, how can there be your painting here."

The composition of this oil painting is a bit like the smile of the Mona Lisa, depicting an extremely beautiful Asian woman, exactly the same as Qiu Gongyue.

After Xu Cheng was surprised, he thought it was painted by Mia or Clara in private, but after careful observation, he found that the painting had a history of at least hundreds of years, and it was definitely not made recently.

Qiu Gongyue also saw the long history of this painting, her eyes couldn't hide her shock, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Clara.

"Is the person in this painting me? Or someone who looks exactly like me?"

Clara did not answer Qiu Gongyue's question, but walked over and reached out to caress the oil painting: "This painting has been hidden in this place, and ordinary people are not qualified to see it. When I was a child, because it was She was brought here by her teacher after she awakened her physique. According to the teacher, her teacher, her teacher's teacher, including all the successors of the saint, have seen this painting. This painting has a history of hundreds of years. , every heirwoman will come to see it, it has become a tradition."

Qiu Gongyue took a step forward: "This is definitely not me, who is she?"

She is very sure that she has never been to North America before in her short twenty-odd years of life.

"do not know."

"What did you say, I don't know?"

"Yes."

Clara turned around slowly, and said to Qiu Gongyue: "No one knows who the person on this painting is, some say she is the first saint, and some say she disappeared with the Shadow Goddess No matter who the saint is, she has a relationship with the Goddess Cult, which is something for sure."

Clara walked in front of Qiu Gongyue: "Now you know why both Mia and I think you are the key to breaking the current deadlock?"

The appearance of Qiu Gongyue is exactly the same as this oil painting hundreds of years ago, and it is very likely to be related to the Goddess Cult. As the last heir of the saint, Clara will definitely take risks after seeing Qiu Gongyue's face in contact with her.

Mia had calculated exactly this point, so she couldn't wait to drag her into the Moon Temple on the first day Qiu Gongyue came to Bolt Castle.

Qiu Gongyue looked up at the oil paintings on the wall, feeling very strange.

"this painting……"

Xu Cheng took a step forward and stood side by side with Qiu Gongyue: "Do you have the feeling that the one in the painting is you?"

He is very familiar with Qiu Gongyue, and his observation ability is also very strong now. Judging from various details, the oil painting in front of him is obviously Qiu Gongyue herself.

Qiu Gongyue nodded, and she also felt that the person in this painting was herself, not someone else who looked exactly like herself.

But how is this possible?

Unless someone can accurately predict that Qiu Gongyue will be born hundreds of years later, and paint for her hundreds of years later.

Xu Cheng had another guess in his mind, could it be that Qiu Gongyue traveled hundreds of years ago for some reason, and then left this painting?
This is not impossible, because Xu Cheng went back 12 years ago to protect Bai Yuelin.

Seeing the couple in a daze, Clara asked, "How, did you see anything?"

Xu Cheng came to his senses: "You haven't seen any problems after staying here for more than 100 years, now you expect us to find some clues by just looking at it?"

"Different."

Clara's eyes fell on Qiu Gongyue's face: "There has never been an identical person before. I believe that she came here not by accident, but by fate."

"Just look at what you can see, take it out and check it first."

Nagumo Narumi leaned over while talking, and took the oil painting off the wall.

Clara didn't stop it. This painting was hung here, and it has been checked countless times. After so many years, it is not certain whether it is the original or not.

Nagumo Narumi checked the oil painting over and over again, but found nothing wrong.

She quickly lost interest and handed the oil painting to Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng also took it over and inspected it with his super observation ability, and found nothing wrong, it was just an ordinary oil painting.

Finally, he handed it to Qiu Gongyue: "Look?"

Qiu Gongyue took it over and looked at the painting up close, which made her feel even more amazing.

Her gaze unconsciously stared at the eyes on the oil painting. Inside and outside the painting, two people with exactly the same appearance looked at each other like this.

Gradually, Qiu Gongyue felt that her consciousness became blurred, and the whole world was spinning.

When she regained consciousness, she was surprised to find that she was in a pitch-black environment where she could not see her fingers. No matter the oil painting in her hand, or Xu Cheng and the others beside her, they had all disappeared.

After so many changes, Qiu Gongyue's psychological quality is extremely strong, and she didn't feel panicked.

It's okay for others to touch oil paintings, but it's my turn to have problems. This painting may be tailor-made for her.

"who is it?"

Qiu Gongyue tried to shout to the surroundings, but the sound spread out and did not reflect back. This place should be extremely empty.

Her hands burst out with fierce qi, rubbed against each other and ignited, creating a flame out of thin air.

The light of Lie Yan illuminated the surrounding area for more than ten meters, but it was still as thick as black ink more than ten meters away, even the light was swallowed up.

At this moment, Qiu Gongyue felt the mysterious rune under her lower abdomen warm up slightly.

It is mysterious enough that this rune can resist a blow from the moon god, and now it is even related to this mysterious oil painting.

Qiu Gongyue tried it and found that when the rune was facing a certain direction, it would heat up.

She pulled herself together and walked in the direction indicated by the rune.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a faint light suddenly appeared in front of her. She subconsciously quickened her pace, but soon stopped.

At the end of this ray of light stood a person, under the radiance of the light, a clear outline of the figure was revealed, but unfortunately, because his back was facing the light, he couldn't see his face clearly at all.

Qiu Gongyue asked vigilantly: "Who are you?"

"Find me...wake me up..."

The ethereal female voice suddenly entered Qiu Gongyue's ears.

Startled, she asked loudly, "Who the hell are you?"

"Shadow and death...have never left..."

"Wake me up...it's your duty..."

The female voice was ethereal and farther and farther away.

Qiu Gongyue hurriedly pulled her legs to catch up with the other party, but no matter how she chased, the figure in front always kept a sufficient distance from her.
