The abnormal daily life of a painter

The creator of The Portrait, Kipling Daze.

The other party looked at the unfamiliar surroundings in a daze, and was about to say something when Zheng Yichen cut him off: "Good evening, Mr. Dai Ze."

"Oh...good evening." Kipling still looked at the young man in front of him in a daze. Judging from the paintbrush in his hand, he should be in the same company, but this place doesn't look like a studio: "Where is this place?" ?”

"If you explain it, you might not believe it." Zheng Yichen took out his mobile phone and searched for a popular science page for Kipling to read by himself.

The old man frowned slightly looking at the mobile phone that Zheng Yichen handed over. When did the mobile phone become so special?

The mobile phone without buttons made him quite uncomfortable to use, but the screen of the mobile phone was clearer than any mobile phone he had ever seen, and the touch screen was not difficult to use. The key was the content on the mobile phone page, which was about his personal Encyclopedia, his birthplace and address are all correct... Wait, before his death? ?

"What are you kidding!!" The old man glared at Zheng Yichen. He is fine now. It is as if he is dead. Although he is in the hospital, he is not dying yet: "What is this place? I still have paintings To draw... eh?"

Kipling looked at a painting that Zheng Yichen took out from Lingling's hand, showing a look of astonishment. Although the painting was not finished, he could tell from the unfinished part at a glance that this was himself Ideas in mind.

He looked at the painting with trembling hands, thought of something, quickly flicked the phone in his hand, and saw the part he wanted to see.

about this painting.

"I, am I really dead? I'm dead, so what's going on with me now?" Kipling looked at the painting again, with a very strong urge in his heart, he wanted to finish this painting.

"Based on some of my strength, Mr. Dai Ze, you are currently alive for a short time."

Kipling's expression was inexplicable: "Can it still be like this?"

Zheng Yichen drew a set of painting tools on the drawing paper. Kipling watched Zheng Yichen take out the painting tools from the painting as if by magic, and couldn't help showing the expression of an old man looking at his phone in the subway.

"That's it."

"...It's that simple? Then why don't you go to heaven?" Kipling's tone was still unbelievable. Making a painting come true. This cannot be said to be the dream of every painter, but he also fantasized about it when he was painting before. How wonderful it would be if paintings could become real.

And when this kind of thought arises, it is often the kind of painting with beautiful meaning.

"I can't fly a spaceship."

"???" Kipling's expression became richer. Are young people nowadays so stupid?He breathed out: "So why did you draw me? To complete this painting? Then the value of this painting to the outside world will be greatly reduced."

The painting left by the dead painter is only valuable. If he completes this painting, then even if the painting is authentic, it is almost like waste paper. There is no other reason. Since he has been dead for more than ten years, it will As far as they are concerned, they only know this unfinished "Portrait".

Although he really wanted to finish this painting, but... can he really do that?

"This painting is also a fake, I painted it."

"..." The old man is so old, and he still couldn't help but twitch when he heard Zheng Yichen's words. As a painter, Kipling is still very observant despite his age. He noticed that the people present looked at him a little bit. puzzled.

No, it should be a little puzzled by the painting in his hand: "What's wrong with this painting?"

"Cough, it should be that you have a problem, old man." Zheng Yichen told him about the changes in the painting, but when the painting was in the hands of the original author and looked at affectionately by the original author, there was no change at all.

Looking at Kipling's 'really? ' expression, Zheng Yichen took the painting and put it in front of him, Kipling walked to Zheng Yichen's side and looked at the changes in the painting, he showed a puzzled look: "Can it still be like this? Young man, there is something wrong with your portrait..."

"That's it!" Hearing what the old man said, Zheng Yichen immediately answered, "Today I went to an art exhibition and saw this painting, and then this kind of portrait was reflected. What do you think, old man?"

Kipling folded his arms, and glanced at Zheng Yichen with some weirdness: "What can I think? The style seems to be my style. If I know you enough, it may be special to paint your portrait. This, or something close to it."

"But my understanding of you is basically zero. Looking at it now, this painting is like a palette, with all colors." Knowing that he is dead, Kipling's attitude is much more casual. He is indeed A lot of information can be read from this changing portrait, but this information has nothing to do with him in essence.

Even if the painting style is the same as his, but specifically it is the same as AI painting. The paintings created by collecting a large amount of his painting information will look similar to his paintings, but they are really not his paintings. from.

However, this painting also aroused Kipling's curiosity. After he asked others to try it, he said that Zemu Flan and Veronica should see a psychiatrist, no, it should be a group of psychiatrists.

"You worry about being interpreted through portraits. It's superfluous. People who want to know you will know you through various channels, and they can fully understand you through a painting? A painter is not a psychiatrist."

"If you ask me to interpret it, my answer is that you have many possibilities. It is not that the more colors in a painting, the better, but the colors in your portrait are well matched with each other. Although it is complicated, it is not perfect. It’s dazzling, which means you can wear it with any color.”

Kipling stared at the unfinished painting in front of him: "That's all I can say. As for the interpretation of other painters, let them interpret it slowly. Interpreting information through paintings is not as good as actual investigation, so I can start painting. Did you draw it?"

He wants to finish this painting. He has no memory of his death, but after knowing what happened before his death, he can think of how unwilling he was not to finish this painting at the last moment during his lifetime.

Now I can make up for this regret. Even if the completed painting will not be recognized, the people here at this moment are witnesses.

Chapter 141 News

"It's finished." Looking at the portrait in front of him, Kipling breathed out a sigh of relief. This painting was just drawn by him, and it was not a complement to the original one. As for whether there will be additional value, that is not important, what is important is its existence.

"However, after knowing that I have died, I still feel a little weird." Kipling said looking at the color tone of this painting. He has no memory of death. What do he think about himself when he is close to death? It can only be associated but not fully brought into.

So this painting may be somewhat different from the one he painted when he was dying, but this is not important. What is important is that this painting is finished after all.

This was Zheng Yichen's reward for pulling him out.

"You pulled out a dead old man just for this?" After Kipling disappeared, Lois looked at the new painting and said, this thing will be regarded as a fake if it gets out, even if This thing is indeed authentic.

"Of course not. I'm just more concerned about that kind of portrait. You also happened to investigate the relevant information. I wanted to take the opportunity to find out the situation. It turns out that there is no such a big problem."

"Not bad, you are cautious enough."

Zheng Yichen smiled, and handed the painting to Lois: "Leave this thing for you to keep, I can keep it well if I keep it."

"Okay, just treat it as a stuffing collection." Lois put away the painting, Zheng Yichen looked at the paintbrush in his hand, and drew a holy grail on it, which was used as a daily consumable. Lingling and the others are no strangers to it.

"Are you still using the same strengthening method as before?"

Lois looked at the consumed Holy Grail in Zheng Yichen's hand and asked, the more this thing was used, the more Zheng Yichen knew about it, and Lois had seen Zheng Yichen's notes.

In general, this thing may not have reached the true height of the original version, it can only be relatively omnipotent, and to achieve that omnipotence must meet the corresponding conditions, but the real omnipotence does not require that condition.

Zheng Yichen can enhance his physique because he already has the conditions to exercise and become stronger, so it can be used, but if he wants to use the Holy Grail to obtain special power, it depends on whether he has the corresponding conditions. As for temporarily driving other things to consume the Holy Grail If so, then the Holy Grail comes with corresponding conditions.

This thing itself can be used as a battery.

"Almost, but there are more enhancements in other aspects, including adaptability." Zheng Yichen replied, the shared enhancement will definitely affect the effect, but he has a lot of time, as long as his mental strength can keep up, share it It won't be too much of a problem.

after?Go home and sleep.

Zheng Yichen is not used to staying overnight at the research institute, mainly because there is a crazy doctor here. If he sleeps here, he may wake up with something more or less on his body. However, the other party has the ability to prevent the person concerned from noticing that he is asleep. When he was stabbed.

The next day, Zheng Yichen yawned, came to the window and opened the curtains, rubbed his eyes and looked at the latest news on the mobile phone. His brows raised involuntarily. The news about the demon-killing virus had already spread.

The basic theme is that there are new breakthroughs in research in this area, blah blah, and then this kind of thing can be officially put into practical application. It is used in the same way as a disinfectant, and has no effect on ordinary people. For The existence of demons has a very strong restraint effect.

Once the devil's skin touches the devil-killing virus, it will be like delicate tofu meeting hot oil.

The amount of killing virus is large and full.

This is the key point. The stock solution of the demon killing virus is meant to be diluted. The ones that were given to Clyde before can be diluted into at least one sprinkler. If it is only used for testing, this amount can be increased by three times. times, it can still bring enough lethality to the devil.

Zheng Yichen turned on the TV, looked at the news on it, and showed even more surprised expression: "What the hell...someone really said that the devil's life is also life?"

After the host of the news focused on the demon-killing virus, he also specifically mentioned another related regulation, that is, although the existence of demons has brought great turmoil to society, there must be some demons among them. Many people were forced to transform into demons.

For this part of the demons, the government will be lenient, provided that they turn themselves in and accept investigation. If there is no criminal record, the government will give these people some other related arrangements, and the states will jointly establish a special administrative region.

After watching the news, Zheng Yichen fell into deep thought. If this kind of thing is really as reported in the news, it doesn’t seem to be bad. It’s enough to kill the damned demons. Some beings who are forced to transform into demons can live normally. good.

After changing his clothes, Zheng Yichen went out and came to Lingling Studio. Looking at Zheng Yichen who came, the girl at the front desk was used to it. Zheng Yichen was not an employee in the studio, but he was the most special person here, with Lois The supervisor and the big boss have zero direct authorization, so just leave him alone after you come here.

Zheng Yichen came to Lois' office, and Lois glanced at the time: "It's rare that you came an hour early today."

"Well, it's today's news."

"Oh~" Lois picked up the newspaper at hand: "Is it about the devil? You always seem to be very concerned about this aspect."

"Who made the first demon appear because of my relationship? What do you think of the Special Administrative Region?"

"It's used as a buffer. According to the public information, after ordinary people are transformed into demons, their personalities will change to some extent, but it's not absolute. Some demons may indeed maintain their original hearts, even if they don't. Those who live in their hearts also have families.”

"The existence of the special administration area can stabilize and buffer some public security issues. After those beings who have been transformed into demons are transferred to the special administration area, their family members can't say anything. If they think there is a problem, go there together. It is difficult for most ordinary people to accept."

Lois briefly talked to Zheng Yichen about the possibility of the general planning of the Special Administrative Region. The newspaper also had the relevant planning for the Special Administrative Region, which is similar to a small city. Demons inside can also travel, but registration is required.

Some jobs in the service industry in the city can be done by ordinary people even by demons.

Ordinary people can accept transferring those demons who have no criminal records to the Special Administrative Region, as long as they don't live with them. The demons have brought too many social problems in the past few months.

At the same time, the existence of this special administrative region can also avoid the possibility of those demons working together to unite.

"As long as the effect of demon-killing virus remains effective, even if there is an additional special administration area related to demons, the impact will not be too great."

"Having said that, I feel like I'm still playing with fire."

Lois smiled: "This is not something you need to care about. Since those people want to establish a special government area, it means that they have already considered the consequences. As for not thinking about it, it is the kind of brainstorming." place, if something happens in the future, I won’t be able to contact you.”

"If it's really related to you, I'll take you as the blame." Speaking of this, Lois showed a subtle expression: "At that time, you shouldn't be polite or want to be a 'good person'. Deliberately guide public opinion, and what you are facing is an avalanche."

"No snowflake is innocent under an avalanche."

"Your thinking is very dangerous." The corners of Zheng Yichen's mouth twitched slightly.

Lois' face straightened: "It's not dangerous, it's the serious consequences caused by other people's things. Why do you need to take the blame? You've done enough! If someone really wants to do that, then any future actions after you Fighting back is justified."

It is not a big deal to make good use of the demon killing virus. It is not a big deal to clean up those demons. The difficulty of producing the demon killing virus is not high. In mass production, as long as there are demons, even secondary demons can be produced in large quantities, even if there are many demons. warehouse.

But as long as the demon-killing virus is turned into something that can be bought in any grocery store, how can the demon survive?

Those who survived were also careful to live.

It’s just that the officials are thinking of something or other issues related to interests, and they don’t intend to do things so badly. They created a special government area, but they accidentally crashed the game, and they don’t want to take responsibility after that... Then why? What if the person responsible is Zheng Yichen?

"Of course, if things don't go badly, it would be nice to have such a special administrative region." Lois put the newspaper in her hand back on the table: "After the special administrative region is completed, we can also recruit soldiers from there in the future. It is reasonable to use some people with demonic power."

It is indeed feasible to use demons for experiments to master the power of demons, but the experiment is accompanied by additional expenses and instability, and the research time is also uncertain, but it is another matter to directly recruit demons.

"What are you doing, it sounds redundant."

"It's famous for being a teacher. At this stage, it is difficult for ordinary people to directly recruit demons. After the Special Administrative Region, the demons who surrender are the residents there, and the residents with strong folk customs will not be able to say anything when they are recruited."

"In that case, wouldn't some demons become popular as mercenaries?" Zheng Yichen clicked his tongue.

Lois smiled: "That's true, but as long as the demon-killing virus is controlled by some people, it means that the right to use the demon power is always in the hands of those people."

"So what if other hostile forces have recruited demons? Those existences are still not enough to face opponents with demon-killing viruses."

Zheng Yichen smacked his tongue: "What a mess, it sounds so dirty."

Lois was noncommittal: "Dirty is a bit dirty, but as I said just now, it is good."

Chapter 142 Who Will Travel to That Kind of Place

In addition to allowing some new city officials to recruit demons and use demonic powers for reasonable reasons, the Special Administrative Region also avoided the situation that Zheng Yichen faced some problems.

As Lois said just now, if the transformed demons have family members, the demons can be exterminated, but those family members may not accept such a result. The Special Administrative Region has buffered such problems, and the new city officials in each state have taken care of it. Impact.

They didn't say that the demon-killing virus was developed by that person, so the families of some demons who were wiped out couldn't find the parties if they wanted revenge afterwards.

"You don't want to wake up and find that the place where you live is full of enemies, do you?" Lois said to Zheng Yichen with a smile: "By the way, this action limits your possibility of completely disclosing the demon killing virus. You insist on doing that." It’s okay to do it, but the result is the situation above.”

"There are a lot of demons, and there will always be some extreme ones who will hate you because of it."

This number may be dozens, hundreds, or even more...

"Am I being manipulated?" Zheng Yichen was a little upset. He really didn't consider this aspect when he wanted to get out the demon-killing virus. Now that Lois told him some details seriously, Zheng Yichen Just ignored some problems.

People who have been transformed into demons may attack their own family members, but definitely not all of them. Rabbits don’t eat grass on the edge of their nests. After those demons are eliminated, as Lois said, some family members will really have extreme ideas.

"It's not a deal, it's a relative thing. If you insist on disclosing the entire production method of the demon-killing virus, the officials of the new towns in each state can't stop it. At most, they can block the news from the Internet."

"Using this method to restrict you from further disclosing the way the virus is made, and you don't disclose it in the future, it is considered a tacit unspoken rule. If they accidentally play it off later and take your blame, it is tantamount to They broke that tacit agreement first."

"It's exactly like that. After that kind of thing happens, you don't need any kindness. At that time, any kindness you have is to excuse those people, unless you have the ability to determine all directions of things."

What Lois meant was very clear. If the status quo is maintained, both sides can take a good part. Zheng Yichen can save the family members of those demons from making trouble after the fact, and the new city officials in various states can better control the demons.

But if they play off and throw the pot away, they can't just take advantage of it, can they?How can there be such a beautiful thing.

"Since you can't fully intervene in this matter, in fact, this kind of result is not bad. What I'm talking about is just a possibility. How it depends on the people who carry out this matter. Your understanding of those people is completely zero. , Having said so much, it is only an analysis based on the worst results."

Zheng Yichen nodded, not thinking too much about it, he found a place to sit down casually, picked up his mobile phone and chatted with the girl An Lika through the chat software, after the last time the laboratory was attacked, She was back to her normal routine again.

If it's okay, I will send some photos of campus life to Zheng Yichen.

"I didn't go out at home today." An Lika said to Zheng Yichen through the chat software, and sent a selfie of herself by the way. Zheng Yichen found that this girl likes to post photos. It looks like him, even if she was trained by Lois. Sweating profusely, and when he was distracted by looking at his increasingly strong body in the mirror, he never thought about posting his photos to Moments casually.

"Today, the news about the devil killing the virus has been made public. You are indeed better at home."

"Should the social turmoil caused by those demons calm down after this?" An Lika sent an expectant expression by the way when she replied.

Zheng Yichen thought about some of the information that Lois had analyzed before: "It should be. The Special Administrative Region can buffer against the demons and cause problems. Maybe that place will become a special tourist attraction in the future."

"Uh, who would travel to a city dominated by demons?" An Lika, who was chatting with Zheng Yichen, was a little ashamed. She didn't have a good impression of demons, and the reports in the society were basically negative about demons. partial, positive?

Maybe there is, but there has never been any related reports. Her mother told her about it. At this stage, the existence of demons does more harm than good. Reporting positive information about demons will only make some people think that demons are actually Not bad, just like a piece of paper, the black dots are most obvious in white paper, and the white dots are most obvious in black paper.

Staring at the most conspicuous places tends to ignore the subject.
