Chapter 281: Sudden Mutation
When the three entered a room on the fourth floor, they discovered oil paintings covering the walls.
However,
one eerie huge oil painting made the three Ghost Wielders, who could be called the most top-tier of the younger generation, all simultaneously feel a trace of solemnity.
By comparing the paintings hanging in this room, Yang Jian, through the pattern of the stairs ghost, guessed some mysteries about these paintings.
Every painting here actually corresponds to a ghost, and similarly corresponds to a scene in the Ghost Painting World.
Once someone arrives at the scene depicted in the painting, that person will most likely encounter the fierce ghost wandering in that area, and most importantly, the scene in the painting is not always the same.
Although this guess lacks much basis, Yang Jian trusted his intuition greatly, and he always felt that the ghost shadows in the oil paintings were staring at him.
At this moment,
Yang Jian’s gaze was fixed tightly on the dormitory building in the painting, and some blurry memory fragments suddenly flashed in his mind.
Because he had seen this building somewhere before,
or rather,
this building had intricate connections with someone he knew.
“If I remember correctly, three months ago, Miao Xiaoshan sent me a photo of her dormitory building on my mobile phone, and it seems identical to this building in this oil painting.” Yang Jian felt a strong unease surging in his heart.
Yang Jian immediately stared at this painting, scanning it rapidly from top to bottom.
Suddenly,
his pupils contracted, and a trace of shock appeared in his eyes.
Only to see a ghost standing at the downstairs entrance of this dormitory building in the oil painting.
This ghost was very familiar, wearing vermilion red clothes, her facial features blurry, but from her figure, she should be a woman, her hands extremely pale, revealing an indescribable weirdness.
The ghost they had been desperately searching for was right now downstairs at Miao Xiaoshan’s dormitory building.
But this scene appeared particularly horrifying in Yang Jian’s eyes.
If the content in the painting was, as he guessed, a real scene presentation from somewhere in the Ghost Painting, looking at the real environment around that building, he judged,
there was a high probability that this ghost was not currently in the supernatural world constructed by this Ghost Domain,
but in the present world,
Beijing Film Academy,
downstairs at some female dormitory building!
“Yang Jian, it seems you know the location of this building.” Noticing the subtle change in Yang Jian’s expression, Jiang Shan, who was trying to find the current location of the Ghost Painting in his memory, immediately asked.
Yang Jian said: “Yes, I know. This building in the oil painting is a dormitory building at Beijing Film Academy’s female dorm.”
“Beijing Film Academy?” Jiang Shan frowned tightly, his voice carrying a trace of doubt.
“Are you that perverted, kid? Just from one oil painting, you know which school it is, and even that it’s a female dormitory building. You really can’t judge a book by its cover.” Chen Hao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up with a cold mockery.
He originally wanted to continue saying something, but when he saw Jiang Shan’s gaze sweep over, he immediately chose to shut up.
“Use the human skin paper. This city is bigger than you imagine. Although your Ghost Domain can be used, it is also subject to certain restrictions.”
Looking at the female dorm in the oil painting, Yang Jian continued gravely:
“The Music Box Curse on me will erupt in another eleven hours. If we check bit by bit, there won’t be enough time.”
Time seemed not to allow Jiang Shan and the others to carefully search for this building hidden in this world within the city, because Yang Jian’s time left alive was almost gone.
Even if Jiang Shan knew the method to control the Ghost Painting, he also understood that this chaos in Dajing City was definitely not something Zhao Jianguo and the headquarters people, whose memories had been altered by the Newspaper Ghost, could achieve.
Old Qin, from whom there had been no news;
the source Ghost Painting that inexplicably appeared in Dajing City;
the “immortal and indestructible” Ghost Wielder who attacked Li Jun’s team, all these weirdnesses were signaling to Jiang Shan:
He had to seize the opportunity Yang Jian had now created and try to help him control the Ghost Painting.
After all,
he did not have a method like Zhang Xiangguang’s, which had been planned for decades to perfectly control the Ghost Painting, and the current Yang Jian was the breakthrough in this Dajing City chaos.
As long as he could control the Ghost Painting ahead of that group of “rats'” plan, everything afterward would be much easier to handle.
It wouldn’t be like now, where whether it’s the person in charge or the captain, every move of these Ghost Wielders in Dajing City is led by the nose by others.
“You use the human skin paper. After all, you are the key to controlling the Ghost Painting. The information the human skin paper tells you might be more comprehensive than what it tells me.”
Without any hesitation, Jiang Shan directly threw the human skin paper locked in the gold box to Yang Jian.
Suddenly
the moment he took the human skin paper, Yang Jian discovered a change in the oil painting.
The woman who had been standing at the downstairs entrance originally disappeared at this time, replaced by a huge oil painting standing on the ground.
It seemed under some unknown supernatural influence, the woman as the embodiment of the Ghost Painting Supernatural had returned to its main body.
She was no different from before, her figure blurry, only a pair of pale hands exceptionally clear, those hands like they had really stretched out from the painting.
At the same time,
several wriggling black figures suddenly appeared in the oil painting. After a humanoid figure carrying something touched the Ghost Painting, that huge oil painting began to move.
“Damn it, are these humanoid figures going to take the Ghost Painting into the dormitory building?”
Seeing this scene, Yang Jian inexplicably felt a surge of irritable emotion in his heart. He opened the human skin paper and said lowly to it:
“Don’t give me so much nonsense. I want to know right now where the source of the Ghost Painting is. I’ll trade a ghost with you.”
As soon as the words were spoken,
a line of text immediately appeared on the human skin paper:
“Found the me who once hid the source room. Discovered in the oil painting that the Ghost Painting surprisingly appeared in Dajing City. The transaction with my good friend Miao Xiaoshan’s dormitory building downstairs is still continuing.”
Seeing the information on the human skin paper, Jiang Shan’s eyes sharpened. He immediately looked at Yang Jian and Chen Hao and said:
“I’ll open the way with my Ghost Domain. You follow the Ghost Domain.”
“Good.”
As a silver light appeared in front of the two, Yang Jian, who had re-locked the human skin paper, then discovered that Jiang Shan had already disappeared.
Before taking action,
Yang Jian deeply glanced at Chen Hao, who was holding the Ghost Candle Holder and wearing the Ghost Face Mask. Although he really wanted to kill him and avenge the attack at the church back then,
the current situation did not allow him to do so.
Following the guidance of the silver light to leave this world and control the Ghost Painting was the top priority.
Chen Hao was like a stone man, completely ignoring the killing intent revealed in Yang Jian’s eyes beside him, instead looking at the silver light ahead, his eyes flickering.
After Jiang Shan left, the two said nothing. Under silent endurance, they immediately moved in the direction guided by the silver light.
“Here.”
