The years I played survival games [Comprehensive Yingmei]

In the warm two-story villa, Willow sat on the European-style sofa and enjoyed desserts and fragrant black tea with Ruth.

Jack, who just came in, looked dull.

After a long time, he said cautiously.

"Willow?"

"Long time no see, Jack."

Willow blinked, hugged the little bear and said.

"Bernie and I miss you a lot."

As a result, as soon as the words fell, she received a hug. Compared with Ruth's plump and soft hug, this hug was a bit awkward.

Willow patted Jack's shoulder reassuringly, and said in doubt.

"You seem to have lost a lot of weight?"

"He has lost a lot of weight recently because of the events in Berlin."

Ruth said helplessly on the side.

"That's his friend you told me about before?"

Jack and Ruth sat next to Willow,

"Berlin was my first friend after I came to London. He helped me a lot. It's just that there have been some problems with our friendship recently."

Jack's brooding blond hair dulled at the thought of his latest conundrum.

He is still so handsome, but he has a more mature taste. If he appears on the Titanic again at this moment, he can live in the second class instead of the first class.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about some happy topics, such as my daughter, have you seen it?"

"I saw it, and it was very lovely. She was taking a nap, though, so Ruth and I came down, and Mrs. Buckett was upstairs looking after her.

And I also know her name is Willow. "

"Yes, we named her Willow in honor of you.

Well, did I say the wrong thing? "

Jack blinked and smiled happily. At this time, he had the shadow of the bright and lively down-and-out painter.

"Of course not, I'm very happy."

Although Willow didn't save people because of their gratitude, what could be happier than them always remembering themselves?

"Have you seen my studio?"

"Not yet, I don't have a penny in my pocket, and I'm poorer than you were back then, so I came to your house to eat."

Willow shrugged and smiled.

Ruth said on the side that Willow is welcome to come and eat at any time.

They went to Jack's studio together. It was a bit messy, with an unfinished painting, as well as various paints and brushes.

There is another small room connected to it, which is full of paintings.

Landscapes, still lifes, and portraits are only a few people, Ruth, Mrs. Bookett, and the crystallization of love between Ruth and Jack, the little baby with the same name as Willow.

"Ah, sorry, I forgot, I sent all your paintings to the art exhibition."

"My painting?"

"We will take you to see it later, and you will know when you go."

Jack and Ruth were like children who wanted to show off. After greeting Mrs. Bucket, they took Willow out the door.

Along the way, many people greeted Jack and Ruth friendly, and asked who the petite and lovely Willow was.

Jack and Ruth, who were once not favored by others, finally managed to get the blessings of others through their own efforts.

Naturally, they cannot be the protagonists of the peerless romance, but this is for other people who watch this poignant story. For Ruth and Jack themselves, I am afraid this is the best ending.

The doors of the art exhibitions that have not yet opened are closed, and there is no one else for the time being.

To surprise Willow, Ruth covered her eyes.

There was Jack's excited voice in front of him.

"Come on!"

The lights were turned on, and warm yellow light shone down from overhead.

The hand blocking Willow's eyes was removed, Willow tentatively opened her eyes and saw a flame.

To be precise, it is a painting hanging on the wall. In the painting is a mass of flames. It has a human shape and is stretching its body on the lake, as if it is dancing.

And this corridor is full of flames, or paintings with her as the theme.

On the grass at night, dots of fireflies floated, and a dark figure who could vaguely see a little girl stretched out her hand. In her hand was a handful of soft firelight, illuminating the little bear doll she held in her arms in the other hand.

Or a little girl sits on a small boat, with her back to the picture, looking out to the deep sea, where a bright human-shaped flame appears in the sea.

There are also some realistic paintings, such as when Willow took the enlarged bear Bonnie as a bed, and sat on it by himself, with a lifeboat beside it, surrounded by a warm fire.

And in the last one, a large area of ​​flames is burning on the sea, and the background is the Titanic broken in two. On the boat, there is still only a little girl with her back to everyone, and a cute doll in her arms.

She stared at Titanic, and there was a shadow with tusks in the water.

"People think I'm a metaphor for death, but I'm not.

At that time, we watched you being dragged down by them, but there was nothing we could do. I always wanted to know what they were. "

Jack stood behind Willow.

"It's a umbral, a bad thing from another world.

Don't be sad, I'm standing here now, aren't I? "

Willow smiled comfortingly at him. At this moment, she suddenly noticed a painting in a corner not far away, covered with a canvas.

"Is that your painting too? Why didn't you hang it up?"

Willow walked over curiously.

Ruth frowned, showing an unhappy expression.

"It's not Jack's, it's the latest masterpiece of that Mr. Berlin.

Willow, I don't recommend you to read it, he used to be a very good landscape painter, but his current paintings are just..."

Thinking of the paintings sent by her husband's friend who suddenly changed his personality, Ruth became more and more disgusted.

Willow realized that it might not be easy for Berlin to suddenly change her personality, so she finally opened the canvas.

Then........

vomit!

The painting showed a big pit filled with dead people. Willow happened to meet the godless eyes of the last corpse. There was a big hole in his chest, revealing the black and red rotten flesh inside.

And countless thorns grew out of the big pit, firmly imprisoning these corpses.There seems to be something unspeakable hidden in the various shades of black forest silhouettes in the distance.

In short, this is what makes people look at a pleasant painting, but the emotions inside are indeed very strong, such as death, despair, and fear.

Once people see it, they will never forget it.

vomit!

Willow couldn't help but glanced again, then covered her mouth and retched.

The system suddenly exclaimed.

[Hurry up and stay away from those paintings! 】

Before Willow realized anything, a lighter suddenly appeared in her hand. With just a light press, the fire snake flew out instantly, entangled towards the painting that disgusted Willow.

In an instant, the flames blazed!

"My God!"

Ruth screamed, she didn't care about the painting, but wanted to get closer to the pale Willow.

"Willow, are you alright?"

"Don't come near me yet."

Willow, who was afraid of setting Ruth and Jack on fire, ran out quickly, resisted her urge to set fire again, and finally went out, she was relieved.

At this time, a gray umbral was already circling her.

Willow opened the character panel and found that the spiritual value was missing.

When the fire girl's mental value drops to a certain level, she will set fire due to excessive tension.This is the biggest shortcoming, for example, it will happen now.

And it will be even more terrifying after the game becomes a reality, even ordinary people are set on fire by accident!

"Are you okay?"

Jack, who put out the fire with his coat, ran out, saw Willow and quickly comforted him.

"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself."

"Of course it wasn't my fault."

Willow looked serious.

"Do you still have that kind of painting here? That painting is not a good thing. Your friend is probably a victim of being bewitched by Satan."

"Satan?! Bewitched?!"

Ruth, who raised her voice, found that she was attracting the attention of passers-by, so she quickly lowered her voice.

"is this real?

Mr. Berlin was bewitched by Satan to draw those paintings? "

"He suddenly changed his personality, so it's because of this?"

Jack murmured, and then both of them nervously asked Willow if he could solve it.

"Of course, that's what I'm here for."

For this?

Jack was taken aback by Willow's words.

Looking at the petite little girl beside him, he suddenly thought.

So when you appeared on the Titanic, was it to save us?

Otherwise, how could it suddenly appear just the day before it sank?

Jack doesn't have any redundant masterpieces by Mr. Berlin. In fact, the two have already broken up because of the issue of whether Mr. Berlin's heavy-duty paintings should be put in the exhibition.

Mr. Berlin now wants to hold an art exhibition by himself, exhibiting his paintings about death and darkness.

And it seems to be this afternoon.

In fact, this time was undoubtedly rushed. After all, Mr. Berlin obviously didn't have extra time to prepare, but he still did it.

Willow guessed that perhaps Satan wanted to use the artist's hand to further confuse people in this world.

Such an ordinary world is obviously not as attractive to Dormammu as the superhero world, but he still hopes that this world will become one of the dark worlds he owns.

Coincidentally, Jack also had an invitation card in his hand.

Maybe the bewitched Mr. Berlin has the idea of ​​being able to influence one?

In short, Willow changed clothes with Jack and Ruth and went there to participate in the art exhibition.

"Welcome to my art show, Jack."

Mr. Berlin came to greet Jack without any grudges, and showed him the painting behind him with a smile.

"The theme this time is darkness. Darkness that embraces everything!"

Willow quietly looked at this young artist with thick dark circles and pale complexion, who seemed to have been sucked by a goblin.

It's a pity that Satan is not on him, otherwise she would have caught him directly, found the point where the world was invaded, and then sent charcoal-baked Satan back to his hometown, and chatted with Domamu about what it means to not enter.

But the good news is that there should be clues around him.Because the moment she saw this person, her spirit dropped a little.

He has the devilish remnants of Satan in him.

Because the surroundings were surrounded by paintings that lowered the spirit value, Willow felt uncomfortable just after coming in for a while, and she stuffed a few taffy candies that she had made in the afternoon into her mouth.

By the way, a reminder that Jack and Rose eat candy.

"Your target is him?"

Someone bent down and whispered in Willow's ear, and when she looked up, she saw Sherlock.

Sherlock: "Perhaps our goal is the same. Lovely fire elves."

Willow blinked and held out her hand.

"Candy?"
