  Chapter 487 Who is a serious person who keeps a diary!

  After leaving the kitchen, Duanmu Huai and others came to the library on the right side of the second floor. It was also empty, but it looked very peaceful. Except for the scattered papers on the table, there seemed to be nothing special.

   "Okay, let's investigate here next."

   "Hey? Do you want us to read all the books here?"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's order, Lorena was very surprised, but Duanmuhuai rolled his eyes.

"Of course there is no need to be so troublesome... We just need to look for any records, such as diaries or handwritten notes. Of course, you can also look at what books are stored here, and then judge whether the owner of this place is mentally normal Oh, if you encounter a cabinet or drawer that cannot be opened, just call me."

  Although she didn't quite understand what Duanmu Huai meant, Lorena nodded obediently and searched around. Duanmu Huai also came to the desk and opened the drawer. Then he rummaged through it a few times, and found a diary... well, no surprise.

   It can be seen that the owner of this house is probably gone.

  People who write diaries in this world either have problems and plan to write their last words, or have ghosts in their hearts and want to vent, or plan to describe some conspiracies in detail in their diaries-after all, who is a decent person keeps a diary!

   Sure enough, in the diary, Duanmu Huai found some clues and records.

At the beginning, the diary only recorded some daily chores. It can be seen that this distant relative likes artworks very much, especially paintings. He digs everywhere and wants to find a second Picasso... So he also spent a lot of effort to acquire it. A bunch of oil paintings.

   It's normal up to here, no big deal.

  However, when Duanmuhuai turned to the middle, the contents inside became a little weird.

  While participating in an art exhibition, this distant relative overheard a group of artists discussing a man named "Cliff Pitt". He seemed to be a painter too, but his paintings never seemed to be appreciated by anyone. According to these artists, the paintings made by the man named "Cliff Pitt" are morbid and frightening. Just looking at them makes people feel indescribably ugly and uncomfortable.

  If it was someone else, the rumor would be over after hearing it, but this distant relative was obviously different. He was keenly aware that the man named Cliff Pitt might be a talented painter. And the reason why these artists can't accept his works is because these artists are too conformist, which shows that the man named Cliff is probably a master who created his own genre!

  If I can cooperate with him, then maybe I can really dig out a second Picasso!

  Hmm...Picasso might jump out of the coffin board when he heard that.

   All in all, after that, the distant relative became interested in the man named Cliff, and he also found out the address of the other party, and then came to the man's residence. I met with him, and revealed my identity, expressing that I want to see Cliff's paintings, and if possible, he is even willing to hold an exhibition for him.

   For the arrival of the distant relatives, Cliff naturally entertained him with great enthusiasm, and the distant relatives finally saw the paintings he drew that were "discomfortous, full of curses and depravity, disgusting and ugly".

   And his feelings are also fully displayed in the diary.

"I never thought that I could see such absurd and frightening paintings. Although I always thought that painting is to show what the painter sees and wants. But the thoughts in the mind of this man named Cliff are like **** The devil in the abyss, his painting style is extremely absurd and uninhibited, but it is unexpectedly realistic. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a creature that only exists in delusions, but it is as real as it exists in the real world. Looking at his paintings, I can feel the stench emitted by the monsters in the paintings, as well as the sound of their sharp nails rubbing against the slate..."

Cliff's paintings shocked distant relatives, and indeed made him feel what the artists called "ugliness and disgusting evil". That's all.

It's a pity that this distant relative insists on iron - although he does think these paintings are ugly and disgusting, but this is not 1900, but 2000, in this age of death rock, heavy metal and other non-mainstream, This kind of novelty-hunting paintings is more attractive and hype-worthy in the eyes of distant relatives.

  It’s like the boss of a music company. He doesn’t necessarily appreciate those noisy death rocks, but at least he knows that this can attract audiences to make money, and that’s enough.

  So he suppressed the discomfort in his heart and began to praise Cliff's paintings, and expressed his willingness to hold a special exhibition for his paintings so that he could become famous.

   This made Cliff very excited and happy. He said that he was actually painting a series of themes, and his distant relatives also promised that when this series of paintings was completed, he would hold an exhibition for Cliff.

At this point, the matter came to an end. As an art dealer, it is impossible for a distant relative to waste time on Cliff alone, so he sent someone to help Cliff, and then he went home and started preparing for the art exhibition. Preparatory work.

  However, the matter did not end here, instead it became more and more weird.

  First of all, the staff sent by distant relatives to Cliff's side lasted less than a day before running back in fright, claiming that he would "never go to the residence of that blasphemous heretic" again. The distant relative didn't care about this, after all, he also knew that the "power" of the other party's paintings was indeed not something ordinary people could resist.

  So a distant relative sent another younger staff member who seemed to get along well with Cliff to help Cliff.

   This is even more powerful, and it disappears immediately.

  So after Cliff called to tell him that his paintings were all finished, the distant relatives had to go to see what he had painted.

"I can't describe what I saw with pen and ink at all, the appalling, profane horror, I still shudder when I think about it. I can't believe how human beings can draw that kind of shocking horror. Hateful, crazy and deformed as if exuding a spiritual stench. For the first time, I began to doubt whether my choice was correct. Maybe his colleagues were right. Cliff Pitt is indeed a madman, a demon , an emissary from hell. He has brought unspeakable spiritual curses and distortions to human beings through scrolls... Maybe, I should change my mind..."

   Apparently the visit had shaken the distant relative's mind so much that his handwriting trembled. In the end, this distant relative did change his original thoughts. He planned to hold a small appreciation meeting in his mansion first, just like an internal preview meeting before the official release of the movie, inviting his relatives and Friends come to see Cliff Pitt's paintings, and then decide whether to hold a formal exhibition.

   That’s all for the diary.

   Now, Duanmu Huai also knew the reason why the other party invited him to the banquet.

  But... what kind of painting can scare that distant relative like this?

   I have to say that Duanmuhuai is still a little curious.

   "Master Knight, what have you found?"

  At this moment, Lorena and the maid also finished their search, came to Duanmu Huai again, and asked curiously.

   "Fun stuff."

   Facing the two of them, Duanmu Huai also chuckled, and then told them the description in the diary, and after listening to Duanmu Huai's words, Lorena also frowned.

   "So, that man named Cliff Pete is the culprit of all this?"

   "At present, it is basically certain, but I want to see what kind of things he drew that can scare people like this... Oh, what do you find?"

   Facing Duanmuhuai's question, the maid shook her head, while Lorena spoke.

   "I found some strange books in the bookcase..."

  According to Lorena, most of these bookcases are filled with art books, but in the nearest bookcase, there are some things about myths and legends and introductions to demons...

  Well, it seems that after reading what the man said, the distant relatives also went to investigate some things.

   "Let's go, let's go see what the man named Cliff drew."

   Duanmuhuai closed the diary and handed it to the maid.

   "According to the diary, the distant relatives transformed the entertainment room into a temporary painting exhibition hall, um, it's right next to it."

Walking out of the study, Duanmu Huai looked at the door on the other side of the corridor, which was the entertainment room. According to the diary, distant relatives transformed it into a small exhibition room, so as long as you go to the entertainment room, you should be able to see those What is it that scares the art dealer's relatives out of their wits?

However, the moment Duanmuhuai walked out of the study, the lights in the corridor suddenly became much dimmer. At the same time, under the light, the shadows reflected by the furniture in the corridor seemed to come alive, they could not stop twisting, Condensation formed a series of dark and dark tentacles, and rushed towards Duanmuhuai and others. At this moment, the entire corridor also began to twist and deform. The wriggling wooden floor and the deep jumping sound made people involuntarily think that this was not a dead place of inorganic objects, but the internal organs of a huge living beast.

"snort!"

   Facing the sudden scene, Lorena couldn't help being taken aback, and hurriedly stopped, while the maid also assumed a fighting posture, only Duanmuhuai glanced at her coldly, and then snorted coldly.

"roll!!"

Accompanied by Duanmuhuai's roar, the next moment, the dark tentacles pounced on them, as if they were hit by some turbulent waves, they fled backwards at a faster speed than before, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The twisted and weird corridor also returned to normal with Duanmuhuai's loud shout.

   "Hoo......Master Knight, this is...?"

   "Yes, be careful."

  Duanmu Huai nodded to Lorena. In this world, simple monsters or curses are actually not that powerful. But the distorted change of the world at any time and place is another matter. Especially when conducting investigations, perhaps because of these indescribable existences, the barrier between reality and nightmares is getting weaker and weaker, which leads to similar situations that players often face when conducting investigations on the spot.

  It's as if the whole world begins to flip, deform, and create another side of the world that you can't understand.

  At this time, reality anchors are very important...

   This is also the biggest motivation for Duanmuhuai to participate in the joint mission. After all, the reaction to subspace erosion is similar to this. A reality stability anchor is enough to isolate any conspiracy and tricks of those evil gods who try to influence reality through the subspace...

  Afterwards, Duanmu Huai walked through the corridor and came to the door of the entertainment room. At the same time, the black cat on his shoulder stared at the door and let out a low growl. Duanmuhuai raised his eyes when he noticed the movement of the black cat, and then he suddenly opened the door and walked in!

"boom!"

  The heavy wooden door was just thrown open by Duanmu Huai, and the heavy impact on the wall made a harsh sound, and this sound also alarmed the monster lurking in the entertainment room at the moment. They jumped up suddenly, their eyes widened in surprise, and they looked towards Duanmu Huai.

   Another ghoul!

  Looking at the three monsters in tattered clothes, with feet like hoofs and dog heads, Duanmu Huai immediately glared at them. And they also looked at Duanmu Huai and the others, opened their mouths and let out sharp and angry roars!

  【The group of ghouls saw you! 】

  【Looking directly at you makes the ghouls feel unparalleled pressure, their senses are distorted, and they are dominated by an unspeakable pain】

  【Ghoul A conducts a fear appraisal—the appraisal fails! 】

  【It bites its lip tightly, restrains its trembling knees, and feels like an ant in front of you】

  【Ghoul A loses 8 sanity points! 】

  【Ghoul A fell into a coma! 】

  【Ghoul B conducts a fear appraisal—the appraisal fails! 】

  【It can't believe that there is such a terrifying existence in this world! 】

  【Ghoul B loses 9 sanity points】

  【Ghoul B fell into a state of madness! 】

  【Ghoul C conducts a fear appraisal—the appraisal fails! 】

  【Ghoul C can feel that your breath of fear is about to crush its soul】

  【Ghoul C loses 8 sanity points】

  【Ghoul C is struggling to get out of this terrible situation, it cannot attack! 】

  MMP, you are itching to break the system, right?

  Looking at the system prompt that "can't wait" to pop up in front of him, Duanmu Huai's face darkened, but now is not the time to complain, he rushed forward and gave an order at the same time.

"Go together!"

As soon as the words fell, Duanmuhuai rushed away from the tables, chairs and sofas in front of him, rushed directly to the crazy ghoul, grabbed its head, and then Duanmuhuai roared, his thick fingers suddenly seemed like hammers Then Duanmu Huai grabbed the head of Ghoul B like a bowling ball, and smashed directly at another ghoul squatting on the floor trembling!

"boom!!"

  Accompanied by Duanmuhuai's punch, the heads of the two ghouls collided, and they merged into one, turning into a pile of **** meat sauce. On the other side, Lorena also rushed over holding the scripture tightly, raised it high at the unconscious ghoul, and then took a heavy shot.

  Pfft!

  With a soft sound, the ghoul was immediately purified by Lorena.

   "Huh... that's it."

   After cleaning up the three ghouls, Duanmuhuai stood up, shook the blood stains on his fist, and looked around.

   "Let's see... how disgusting is the picture drawn by that man named Cliff."
