Chapter 8 Oil Painting
Time is fleeting.

When Gray stopped practicing and his five fingers touched the bronze mirror light door, there was also a strange sound from the depths of the alley in Shaling City Pedestrian Street.

pat...

Gray, who had just crossed over, appeared out of thin air and fell violently. At this time, the scroll light door that was close to the wall also quickly rolled up, changed into the appearance of a scroll again, and fell to the ground.

"Damn, it's really a blessing this time, and I came back alive." Gray, who had just completed the space travel, only felt mentally tired, got up and stretched his muscles and bones, and his face was filled with a satisfied smile.

Then Gray habitually opened the command interface, and after finding that there was no arrow pointing, he walked in the direction of home. At the current time, he might just be able to catch lunch when he returned home.

But not long after he walked out of the alley, Gray was stunned. He said how should he explain his situation to Ian and the others now? Yes, it's definitely over.

Right now, the matter of the system and space travel through the scroll is a secret to him, even if it is his family, he doesn't want to reveal it, but with Yianni's brains, simply lying will only make the matter darker and darker, it's too unskilled content.

It's just my fault that I didn't think of a good countermeasure before. When I thought of this, Gray took out his phone from his pocket. In the following situation, we can only find a wingman in advance to cover up the collusion...

……

"You said you spent the night at your classmate's house last night?" At the dining table in Gray's house, Niji asked Gray while taking off his kitchen apron, with an uncertain tone.

"Well, more or less, just discussed some incidents related to the cultural class. It was too late to come back, so I just stayed at his house for the night." Gray quickly cooked the roast chicken in front of him, in an orderly manner. explained to Nizhi.

"Cultural class, isn't it right? We contacted all your classmates last night, and we didn't even see a trace of you." Ni Zhi was obviously skeptical about this.

Gray, who heard this, looked at Ellie at the side. Obviously, the reason why Ianish was able to contact his classmates was probably because of Ellie.

"Why are you looking at me? Be lenient when you confess, and strict when you resist." Ellie looked dissatisfied about this.

But Ellie then put her left hand on her chin, and asked in a gossip-like tone: "Say you went to a private meeting with a certain girl last night, but it's not right, Xiaosi, I don't remember you hooking up with her." Which female classmate?"

"Hooking up with you, you bastard, you don't learn well at such a young age. I went to spend the night at Eisen's house last night. You always know Eisen. The one in the same class as us is the one who wears glasses and is very modest. "

Seeing Ellie who obviously wanted to divert the topic and dragged herself into a bottomless pit, Gray obviously didn't fall for it, and decisively moved out the wingman he had contacted in advance.

"Tch, it seems that you are much older than me. The legal age for girls in Rockbell is 22. In four years, I will be able to marry, and in four years, you may still be squatting at home without women. .”

Ellie was obviously very dissatisfied with Gray's attitude, but then said in a puzzled tone: "By the way, is there a person like Eisen in our class? I don't have any memory at all, and I don't remember contacting him last night."

Ellie tried her best to recall, but she could only imagine in her mind a **** character with no appearance characteristics.

She has always been very popular in the class, and basically has a little friendship with everyone. How come she doesn't even have a general impression of this person, no matter how you think about it, she feels weird.

And just when Gray was about to taunt her, Ian, who was still on the phone outside the house, came in and said to everyone: "I also contacted that student Eisen, and this is indeed the case."

And such words immediately dispelled Ellie's gossip mentality, which made Gray feel relieved.

"But it doesn't mean that you don't even have a message back home..." Ni Zhi obviously still had doubts about this, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ian.

"Forget it, Xiao Si is already an adult and has his own thoughts and private affairs. We brothers can't interfere, and it's good that he's fine." Ian waved his hand amiably.

Gray, who heard this, just wanted to give Ian a thumbs up. It's really not easy to have such a sensible brother these days.

"But this is the last time. If you dare to do something like this next time and make your family worried, don't blame me for confining you like a new recruit." Ian looked at Gray with a smile and asked him It looks hair straight.

"I understand Brother Yian, I will definitely not do it next time, I will go back to my room and lock myself up for an afternoon, and I will definitely not come out before dinner." Gray raised four fingers and vowed.

Ian, who found it interesting, narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent for a long time.

A moment later, when Gray closed the door, he was relieved. The two older brothers were good and good enough, but they were too good, which put a lot of pressure on him, the good-for-nothing younger brother.

"This matter has come to an end for the time being, but it is better not to make too much noise in a short period of time, so as to worry Ian and the others." Grayton, who originally wanted to cook with Yuyin snake meat, lost the idea. It's better not to make any messes.

But speaking of it, I really want to thank that classmate Eisen. If he didn't have the kindness to help me as a wingman, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly this time, so I have to treat him to a meal if there is a chance.

Then Gray took out the scroll hidden behind his waist. It seems that because it needs time to cool down, the space replacement Nagato cannot be used in a short time, and it also needs a cooling time of about a day.

Gray, who was very interested in the scroll, slowly pulled it away. He was taken aback when he thought he would see the purple light door, but the content in the scroll was actually an oil painting.

And the scene in this painting is very familiar to Gray. This is clearly the scene in the room in the wasteland. Among other things, there are still the two skeletons lying in the lower left corner of the portrait.

"Is there some connection between this? Now that I have brought the scroll, does it mean that I can enter the wilderness at will? If so, then it is necessary to bring some daily necessities with me next time I enter, and put the room in It’s now an officially habitable shelter.”

Looking at the weird portrait in front of him, Gray calmly analyzed it, and at this moment, a paragraph of text in the lower right corner outside the portrait also immediately attracted his attention.
