【Phantom in the picture-14】

The "Mona Lisa" oil painting at the entrance on the second floor does have several changes. The first one is a copy that is 100% similar to the original painting that everyone saw at first; Slightly upward; followed by the appearance of a second face in the painting, and the woman in the painting grinning and letting out an eerie laugh.

If Xu Feixue's guess is correct, at least four layers of this painting can be peeled off, but I don't know what the first edition at the bottom will be. At this moment, the woman in the painting is raising the corners of her mouth and staring at them with a half-smile.

Yue Xingwen forcibly endured the discomfort in his heart and said, "Let's see if you can peel off this layer."

Xu Feixue stepped forward and observed it carefully for a moment, and sure enough, she found the place where the canvas was superimposed from the edge of the oil painting, and gently rubbed it.

Xu Feixue's eyes were bright, and she carefully grabbed the edge of the canvas and slowly tore it up. Following her movements, the entire painting was peeled off like a girl removing the mask on her face!

The image hidden behind this painting is exactly what the woman in the painting looks like with her **** mouth open and a strange laughter.

The gloomy laughter kept ringing in the ears, and there were no phantoms and clues in the painting.

Jiang Pingce frowned and said, "Continue peeling."

Xu Feixue plucked up her courage, opened her eyes wide and continued to look for the superposition of the canvases. This time, she found the place where the multiple layers of canvas were glued in the upper right corner. After gently peeling it off, there was a new layer of canvas inside. A second woman's face appeared on the canvas, with blood and tears streaming down her face, and her hair was disheveled like a ghost.

Ke Shaobin jumped in fright and subconsciously shouted, "Be careful!"

At the beginning, when this layer of picture appeared, the woman in the painting suddenly flew out and almost strangled Yue Xingwen with her hair. Yue Xingwen also had lingering fears when he thought of that scene, he immediately took a step back, summoned the dictionary in his hand, and was on guard at any time.

Sure enough, the woman crawled out of the painting again. Xu Feixue, who was closest to the painting, was so frightened that her heart suffocated, she hurriedly avoided it, but was quickly wrapped around her waist by the woman's hair!

Jiang Pingce's eyes were dark, his right hand was slightly raised, and the sharp triangular ruler shot out quickly, instantly cutting off the woman's long hair!

But it didn't help, the women in the painting came out one after another like a hive!

In the dark villa, only Xin Yan's alcohol lamp could illuminate it. The scene of the women crawling out of the painting continuously made the faces of Liu Zhaoqing, Zhuo Feng and others who experienced this scene for the first time change suddenly, Zhuo Feng couldn't help it. Cursed: "Damn, this is what you encountered at the time?"

Xu Yishen quickly avoided mitosis, while joking: "Although Sadako in the ghost movie also climbed out suddenly, but not so much! It's like stabbing the female ghost's nest!"

When Yue Xingwen heard this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong——

If the mechanism of the painting "Mona Lisa" needs to be opened by peeling off the canvas, then every time they peel off the layer of the woman's blood and tears, they will be attacked by the woman, and they will never be able to see this. - What's under the layer.

How can we tear this layer of canvas off when the "female ghost" attacks them?

Yue Xingwen—thinking fast—walks quickly to avoid the attack of the female ghost’s hair!

Suppose, these portraits are protective films with images attached to the screen of the mobile phone. There are four layers in total, and each time the layer is peeled off, a new image will appear. The woman who sheds blood and tears and attacks everyone is the third layer. Seeing the bottom layer of the phone screen and avoiding the dangerous third layer, why not peel off four layers at once?

As long as this **** and tearful woman is not allowed to fully appear in the painting, she will not attack everyone!

Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen immediately said: "Everyone withdraw first!"

After he finished speaking, he quickly turned around and retreated downstairs. Jiang Pingce immediately followed him. Although the other students did not know the reason, they followed the team without hesitation. After a while, they withdrew back to the original A world, and the steady stream of female ghosts also disappeared before their eyes.

Yue Xingwen took a deep breath and said, "Confirm - next, is the painting on the second floor restored to its original state?"

Xu Feixue walked down the stairs to the entrance, and saw that the "Mona Lisa" in the painting had really returned to its original state, she was stunned: "This painting has been changing dynamically, it seems that it has the ability to recover?"

Yue Xingwen had already discovered this point. At that time, he was attacked by the woman in the painting. In order to save him, Jiang Pingce shot a large number of triangle rulers, some of which were sharp rulers that punctured the oil painting. However, when they returned to the second floor, the image was intact, proving that The painting has the ability to "self-heal".

Yue Xingwen walked up to Xu Feixue and said, "This time, don't peel it layer by layer, you can find the place where the layers are stacked in the four corners of the painting, and then roll up a corner when you find the fourth layer. , and then—peel off all four layers in one breath.”

Ke Shaobin said excitedly: "In this case, the women with blood and tears on the third floor will have no chance to show their faces!"

Liu Zhaoqing smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Xingwen still has a way, I don't want to see her crawling out of the painting again."

Xu Feixue understood the meaning of Xingwen, and based on his memory, he quickly found out where the layers were superimposed. Each of the four corners had a place, like the adhesion of a roll of transparent glue, which could be lifted up by gently tearing it off.

She grabbed the raised part of the fourth layer and carefully peeled off the picture inch by inch.

Then, everyone was surprised to see the bottom layer of the picture——

The corners of the woman's mouth were raised, and dimples appeared on her face, but her eyes were extremely cold, she had long black hair, and she held a snow-white cat in her arms. She was the adult Leah. .

With the appearance of the protagonist Leah, a plot begins to play in the painting.

Not long after she got together with Jack, she discovered that Jack was actually Rhode's younger brother.

One rainy night, she saw a cute stray cat hiding under the eaves, so she walked over and rescued it. Unexpectedly, Jack and a few friends happened to pass by and said in a loose tone: "I like her? Don't be kidding. , I just want to see what kind of woman my brother has a crush on, I didn't expect that Leia, who looks indifferent and proud, is so easy to get."

The boy next to him curiously asked him the details. Jack actually shared his private experience with Leah, and said that Leah couldn’t let go of the bed—it was like a piece of wood…

When the boys were talking, the wretched laughter was mixed with the crackling rain, which was extremely harsh. Leah stood in the shadows, holding the cat in her arms, expressionless.

The scene in the picture changed, Leah deleted Jack's contact information and began to devote all her energy to painting. She was admitted to the well-known art academy by her own efforts.

Her days gradually became calmer.

Until one day, the Roland and his wife suddenly found her. The old couple and Leia were having dinner at a coffee shop. Leah remained expressionless, but the Roland and his wife seemed to be very excited. Say what.

Such a "silent movie" was played - after a while, the Roland couple left the cafe, Leah held the cat thoughtfully, and then she returned home.

There was still no sound in the picture. She took out her mobile phone and sent a message to her parents. The content was: "Mom and Dad, my brother graduated from middle school this summer. He has always wanted to go on a trip. Should we, the family, go on a trip together?"

Mom quickly replied: "Aren't you going to sketch in the wild during the holidays?"

Leah said: "I can also sketch while traveling."

Mom arrived: "Your dad is very busy with work and may not be free. Let's talk about it later."

When Liya saw the news, a self-deprecating smile raised her lips. She turned on the computer and searched for her mother's booking record, and found that her parents had already booked the itinerary for a trip on July 20, and bought a ticket for her brother. But not her.

- Every time the family travels "by chance" without her, she is used to it.

Leah turned off the computer, took out her mobile phone, and sent a message to the number marked "Mrs. Roland": "On July 20, they will indeed go out for a self-driving tour."

After she put down the phone, the corner of her mouth suddenly raised a smile.

The clues in the painting end here, Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other, and the latter whispered: "The death of her parents is probably related to her. Brother Xu was right before, her relationship with her parents has been directly related to her. Very bad, if her parents and younger brother die unexpectedly, she will become the only heir of all the family's property."

Yue Xingwen stroked his chin thoughtfully: "It seems that she met the Roland couple privately, and they should have reached some kind of consensus. The Roland couple may encounter some business problems and want to get rid of her. Parents, she happens to be extremely disgusted with her parents and younger brother, and the two sides just hit it off and created this man-made car accident?"

Ke Shaobin followed this analysis and said: "After the car accident, Leah's parents and younger brother died. She legally inherited all the inheritance, and agreed to be adopted by the Roland couple and stayed at Roland's house?"

Xin Yan frowned and said: "I have a question, if she conspired with the Roland couple to kill her parents, after the parents died, she recognized the Roland couple as adoptive parents and stayed in the Roland couple's home, it would be more likely to cause suspicion. ?"

Liu Zhaoqing frowned and thought about it carefully, and said, "There is still one last painting, and the illusion of sunflower has not been unlocked."

Yue Xingwen said: "Let's go, go to the studio on the second floor."

Everyone came to the room on the second floor where Van Gogh's "Sunflower" was hung. The location of the painting was very obvious. It was on the petal of the sunflower. The petal had a color difference with the surrounding. Xu Feixue looked carefully and found that there was actually a sticker on it. Yes - a real sunflower petal, which has been air-dried.

She took the petals away, and phantom clues appeared in the painting.

It's three family portraits, played on a loop.

The first picture is a group photo of Leah with her parents and younger brother, the second is a group photo of the Roland couple with their two daughters, Daisy and Alice; the third is a group photo of Rhodes, Jack brothers and their parents.

The students looked at the three family portraits and looked at each other.

Yue Xingwen - while observing, - analysis: "It's all a group photo of a family of four. Among them, the Roland couple have the most harmonious relationship with sisters Daisy and Alice, and the two sisters' hands are on their parents' shoulders intimately. On the top, the smiles are bright; Jack and Rhodes are obviously plastic brothers, standing on both sides of their parents, smiling but not smiling; Leah has the worst relationship with her younger brother, even in the photo, Leah doesn't smile."

Jiang Pingce frowned and said, "What does this mean?"

Liu Zhaoqing looked at the photo carefully, and after a long time, he suddenly said, "Do you think that Liya and her parents are not alike at all?"

Ke Shaobin was stunned, walked over to take a closer look, and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Leah has beautiful eyebrows and a pointed chin, and her parents have round faces. Also, she has double eyelids, and her parents... seem to have both. Is it a single eyelid?"

Xu Yishen suddenly patted his forehead: "I see!"

He looked back at his teammates and said seriously: "Single eyelid is inherited from an autosomal recessive gene, that is to say, parents with single eyelid will definitely give birth to a child with single eyelid." For the convenience of everyone's understanding, he drew a picture and said : "The genotypes of aa and aa show single eyelid. Both parents are aa, and the genotype of the child is also aa. Leah's younger brother and parents have single eyelid, but she has double eyelid, which can only mean... She Not biological!"

Yue Xingwen's eyes were bright: "That's why her parents treated her differently, doting on her brother, but never caring for her, not even giving her a birthday, because she's not biological?"

He looked at the second picture in the family portrait and said, "Leah's biological parents are..."

Jiang Pingce also looked at the second picture and said in unison, "The Roland couple."

It's called adoption, but in fact, Leah is the daughter of the Roland couple?
