Personality V: I will save everything

"To sum up, this is roughly the situation regarding the major events that occurred during the time you were away." The owner of the manor gave a summary for the entire class with a smile on his face.

You know, Ganji left this world during this period. Due to some reasons, many things have undergone subtle changes and adjustments. And these changes must be known to Ganji, otherwise if there are any omissions, it is very likely to expose the flaws.

At this moment, Gangi was gently stroking Annie's slightly bulging belly, and he kept muttering, "So, now you have completely transformed from a slightly weird human being into a completely weird non-human being?"

"Well... maybe you can understand it this way." The owner of the manor replied after a slight hesitation.

Hearing this, Ganji was about to collapse, and couldn't help thinking to himself: What a strange and bizarre change this is!

However, what surprised him even more was that when the manor owner said this, Gangi clearly caught a fleeting sharp light from the depths of the other's eyes, and it looked just like a poisonous snake that suddenly noticed the trace of its prey.

"But I don't seem to have made up lies to deceive others... After all, in a sense... I am indeed not a human being... "

...............................................................

The other side..................

"........................"

The survivors sat around a worn wooden table, the atmosphere was extremely solemn. The lawyer, the painter, the perfumer and the bartender were all silent, each immersed in their own thoughts.

Time seemed to have frozen, with only the occasional sound of breathing in the entire room. However, in this suffocating silence, the painter suddenly jumped up from his chair as if struck by lightning!

His action was so sudden and violent that the lawyer sitting next to him was caught off guard and was startled. The lawyer's body trembled and he almost fell off his chair in embarrassment.

But at this time, the other two people - the perfumer and the bartender - were completely focused on the painter and had no time to care about the frightened lawyer.

The perfumer asked anxiously, "What exactly did you remember? Tell me quickly!" Her beautiful face seemed a little distorted because of nervousness and anticipation.

The painter took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement, and then slowly said: "I... I finally remembered where I had seen Mrs. Bess before. It was in... a painting by Jack!"

His voice trembled slightly, as if the memory of that scene still left him with lingering fears.

"What you said is nothing but nonsense!" the lawyer in a neat suit yelled angrily, using his hands and feet to struggle to get up from the dusty ground.

You know, the man named Jack and Mrs. Beth are clearly from the same world! It is normal for them to know each other, and isn't it natural and natural for Jack to draw a picture for her?

I really don’t know what the painter was doing before!

He mysteriously pulled himself, the perfumer and the bartender over, and solemnly claimed that he suddenly remembered something, claiming that he seemed to have met Mrs. Bess somewhere, but he could not remember the specific details.

Just like that, the three of them followed the painter here in a daze to mess around!

"It's not an ordinary painting! It's that one! That one!!!" the painter said anxiously.

In this huge manor, whenever Jack had free time and nothing to do, he would occasionally pick up his paintbrush, give full play to his inspiration and creativity, and paint one or two colorful and lively paintings.

The bright colors in these paintings appear particularly eye-catching and rare against the monotonous black, white and gray tones of the entire manor.

After all, the manor seems to be shrouded in a dull and depressing atmosphere, and the use of color is extremely limited.

However, Jack generously displayed his other works for everyone to appreciate.

Those exquisite paintings are like beautiful landscapes, embellishing the slightly deserted corridors in the manor, adding a bit of liveliness and vitality to it.

But there was only one painting that Jack always guarded carefully, and no matter how others begged, he refused to show it to others.

When someone curiously asked the reason, Jack always explained solemnly:

"That painting means a lot to me, just like a devout believer who accidentally got a glimpse of the god he believes in deep in his heart. Then, based on that glimpse, I put all my energy into carefully depicting the appearance of that god... I believe you should be able to understand my feelings at this moment."

Indeed, in this mysterious manor, there are many people with firm beliefs. They know the awe and cherishment from the depths of the soul, so most people understand and respect Jack's insistence on not letting the special painting be made public.

But painters are not among the "majority".

The painter's love for art has surpassed the scope of what ordinary people can understand, and is almost crazy. This obsession drives him to constantly pursue and explore higher levels of artistic expression, and has already reached a crazy level.

He had seen Jack's paintings, which were displayed openly for anyone to see. When the painter's eyes touched these paintings, a strong artistic atmosphere came to him like a surging wave.

In an instant, the painter seemed to be in another world, immersed in this rich artistic atmosphere.

At that moment, the painter even had an illusion, and felt that he had finally found the person who could communicate and resonate with him.

This feeling is just like when Eve faced the holy fruit that she knew was not to be touched but still picked and swallowed it under the temptation of the poisonous snake.

Although she knew that it might bring serious consequences, the irrepressible desire deep in her heart prompted her to take that step without hesitation.

The painter knows very well that every artist has a sacred and inviolable work hidden deep in his heart. This work often embodies their life's efforts and wisdom, and represents the pinnacle of their artistic career.

It is for this reason that such works are even more precious, becoming the most perfect masterpieces in the artists' lives that are closest to their souls.

However, it is precisely because of this understanding that the painter's curiosity about Jack's mysterious work becomes even stronger.

He really couldn't suppress his inner impulse and was eager to witness with his own eyes what kind of shocking charm this legendary masterpiece had.

This idea spread in his heart like a raging wildfire at an alarming speed and quickly occupied his entire spiritual world. This blazing flame burned more and more fiercely, and finally prompted him to put it into practice without hesitation.

After a long and arduous effort and pursuit, he finally stood in front of the painting he had dreamed of.

However, at this moment, a slight sense of loss welled up in the painter's heart. Although this unfinished work seemed to have some unsatisfactory aspects on the surface, which made him feel a little regretful, at the same time, more indescribable joy also welled up in his heart.

Because it is this imperfect and unfinished state that gives this work endless imagination and possibilities.

It is like a mysterious puzzle waiting to be solved, or like a virgin land waiting to be explored and cultivated, containing countless unknown treasures and surprises.

What Jack had drawn looked like a woman, but since the painting was unfinished, even he, the artist, could not tell for sure.

At this moment, the characters in the picture are only roughly outlined.

However, judging from the part that has been presented so far, the main color of the entire painting seems to be white.

Could it be that the person he was describing was similar to the gravekeeper in their world and also suffered from albinism?

If possible, the painter sincerely hopes to ask Jack in person how he uses colors so skillfully. Especially the white part in the painting, it seems to be emitting light, which is amazing!

Although the character in the painting is not yet fully formed, through the unique telepathy and resonance between fellow artists, the painter truly felt the almost crazy enthusiasm and the purest, unadulterated love in Jack's heart for the person he portrayed when he created this work.

It seems as if this emotion has penetrated the canvas, deeply infecting and touching the hearts of everyone who views this painting.

This painting seems to be cast under a mysterious magic, exuding an indescribable charm and attraction.

It seemed to possess some invisible power, constantly pulling the painter closer step by step, as if there was an irresistible gravity in the picture calling him.

"A little closer... a little closer..." The painter moved towards the painting involuntarily as if bewitched, completely immersed in that wonderful visual world.

At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and patted the painter on the shoulder. The painter was startled and turned around as if waking up from a dream, only to see Jack looking at him with a playful look on his face.

"Hey! Okay, that's enough." Jack said with a faint smile on his face.

The painter then realized that he had lost his composure and had unknowingly walked very close to the painting.

"Sorry, I just..." The painter scratched his head awkwardly.

"I have to stop you, my friend," Jack interrupted him, and continued, "If you take another step forward, I'm afraid your whole face will be directly stuck on my painting! I don't want to see my hard work ruined by you."

The painter looked down at his feet and found that he was surprisingly close to the painting. He could almost touch the canvas with just a slight bend. What surprised him even more was that he could even clearly smell the unique smell of the paint that had not yet dried.

How strange... As an experienced artist, how could he make such a low-level mistake?

Moreover, even if you want to appreciate a work of art carefully, you don't have to get so close, right? How can you see the details and overall composition of the painting from such a close distance? Could it be that this painting really has some special magic that makes people lose their minds and can't help but get closer?

No, the painter suddenly came to his senses. The feeling he just had was as if the painting was sucking him in.

"Can you please leave?"

At some point, Jack stood at the door of the room, opened it, and gestured to the painter to come in.

................................................................

"Okay, I finally understand why you are so mysterious. It is indeed strange to hear you say that." The perfumer understood why the painter spoke so mysteriously.

Indeed, if it was just an ordinary painting, there would be nothing suspicious about it.

The strangest thing about what happened to the painter was that he was alone, facing the painting, and he looked as if...

"It's like he was attracted by something. No...it would be more appropriate to say he was bewitched." The lawyer commented on the painter's state at that time.

"So this is what I find most strange, because here, the only thing that can bewitch others is probably... "

The Dream Witch and the Lord in Yellow?!

"Hey, this isn't something you can joke about......"

Although that is what he said, the bartender himself knew that no one was joking alone.

"So there are only two explanations for why the painter fell into that state at that time. Either Jack from the other world is a follower of the Dream Witch or the Lord in Yellow, or......"

At this point, the lawyer couldn't help but shudder...

"Either the guy in Jack's painting is on the same level as the Dream Witch or the Lord in Yellow."
