"According to what you said, Manson's power may have been beyond Derek's control, which is incredible. I didn't know Derek's existence. I thought Manson was the executor of the blood sacrifice. The 1924 A series of events only shaped him, and what happened today is the mission God gave him.
But the current situation is different from what you expected. Derek was the one who performed the blood sacrifice. The six before were obviously killed by Derek. You should have seen it in your dream. People died in this room, not Died in bozite town.
This is Derek's world, so even if Derek didn't do it himself, but let Manson come to this room to do it for him, the nature is the same...
Derek is different from Drebber back then, the latter is just a tool, but Derek, he has his own will, and he is even an existence that is at stake with those guys above.
This raised a question, why did Derek help those 'gods' to complete the blood sacrifice? He is controlled? Obviously not, then there is only one answer left, he has reached a certain kind of deal with the 'god', he does what the god wants him to do, and the god also meets some of his requirements. "
Wang Xu asked: "Derek has only one purpose, right? As long as Aisha Linna can be resurrected, I think he will agree to anything."
Master Cat replied: "But God will not satisfy him easily. Obviously, from Derek's request to you, it seems that Elsa Linna has not been resurrected."
Yu Xin sneered and said, "I think those 'gods' you called thought of a compromise to deal with Derek, and that was to send Wang Xu to him..."
Wang Xu was shocked when she heard the words: "Wow... After you say it like this, it seems that it really means that!"
Qi Bing added: "Then... the people around you, the people you know, were brought to this space one by one, that is, the eleven people here."
Wang Xu looked back at him: "No, it's okay for the three of you, I don't know many people outside, and I haven't even seen that An Si."
Qi Bing sighed: "Wang Xiaoyu, Ma Lin, and Yu Fei, they all belong to the same department as us, and they sat quite close to you for several lectures."
Wang Xu stared blankly: "Wow, Lao Qi, you can actually name so many girls..."
Master Cat interrupted their complaints: "These things don't matter anymore. You should pay attention to another point. When the eleven of us came to this space, we all appeared in the small town of Bozite without exception. Not directly here."
Yu Xin said: "Does it mean that the balance of this space has begun to tilt towards Manson?"
Master Cat said: "That's right, so our biggest threat now is not Derek, but he is easier to talk to. The big threat is Manson... He is too keen on peeling off the skin of a living person and putting it on a wax figure, he did it The matter has nothing to do with the blood sacrifice or not, he will not give up until he kills us."
Wang Xu said: "It seems that we can't ask Derek for help? But even if I want to help him resurrect Aisha Linna, I don't know how to do it myself?"
Qi Bing asked: "What did you do when you brought Senior Sister Yan's soul back?"
Wang Xu thought for a while and replied: "I think that process should not be replicated..."
Master Cat's expression suddenly became wretched: "Oh? What did you do?"
Before Wang Xu could speak, a girl's scream came from the corridor outside.
The four reacted almost immediately, and rushed out together. When they reached the source of the sound, they saw the girl named Yu Fei sitting on the floor in the corridor. She covered her eyes and trembled.
Others also rushed over at this time, Yan Li squatted down, let Yu Fei lean into her arms, and said softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Wang Xu bent down to pick up the candle that Yu Fei had dropped on the ground, and shone it on the wall of the corridor. It was obvious that the girl was afraid of something because of what she saw.
Stretching out the candle, a portrait came into view on the wall of the corridor.
In fact, this is a very ordinary portrait of a young girl, about 17 or 18 years old. Wang Xu recognized this face, it was the Aisha Linna he had seen in the reenactment of the death scene.
Although the face in the frame is not angry like a living person, it is not so frightening. Wang Xu immediately asked, "Are you afraid of this painting?"
Yu Fei sobbed: "She...she...she stared at me..."
"Ah?" Wang Xu took a candle and moved a few steps left and right in front of the painting. Aisha Linna in the portrait was still looking ahead, and there was no such weird scene where her eyes followed people.
"Probably the candle is moving, so you read it wrong, don't be afraid, it's fine." Yan Li comforted her.
Yu Fei also stopped talking, but continued to sob.
So everyone went back to the living room again, and Yanli had to accompany Yu Fei to the bathroom, this time she dared not go alone.
Wang Xu and the others continued to stand where they were, and after everyone had left, Wang Xu asked a very serious question: "Is there this painting here last night?"
Qi Bing shook his head: "Definitely not."
Master Mao said: "Actually, I noticed it when I came here just now, you follow me." He said and walked to the room where he came just now.
Turning a corner, Master Cat stopped immediately, pointed to the wall next to him: "There are also here."
The three of them looked in the direction he pointed, and there was another portrait like this, exactly the same as the one just now.
Master Cat continued: "And look carefully, she is indeed looking at us."
Wang Xu looked at the painting. Although the eyeballs of Elsa Linna in the painting didn't move, they really seemed to be staring at him all the time.
"Is Derek playing tricks?" Qi Bing asked.
Master Cat snorted coldly and said, "I think it looks like Vincent's masterpiece... In short, the four of us searched the room again to see how many such portraits are left, in terms of location, distribution, and details. Find out some patterns, maybe you can get some new information.”
After simply assigning their respective areas of responsibility, the four of them dispersed, looking for such portraits in every room and every corridor. Indeed, as Master Cat said, there are portraits of Elsa Linna almost everywhere in this room, but the hanging positions are not conspicuous.
Ten minutes later, they met again in the front hall on the first floor. Master Mao, Yu Xin, and Qi Bing all completed the task meticulously, but they didn't find any special rules, and every painting looked the same.
But Wang Xu, with an embarrassing face, said, "I think I seem to have found some clues..."
All three expressed surprise: "What is it?"
"Well... Anyway, come with me."
Everyone followed Wang Xu to the basement. Wang Xu held up a candle. Next to a closet, there was a painting with the same frame, size, and style as those portraits of Elsa Linna.
But the four of them felt dumbfounded when they saw this painting, because it was Vincent making a victory gesture...
