After participating in the metaphysical variety show, I exploded

Le Qinian turned around quickly, staring at the corner of the stairs.

Yet he saw nothing.There was only darkness in front of him.

The program group distributed flashlights to each contestant.Le Qinian turned on the flashlight, went upstairs cautiously, and came to the corridor on the second floor.

From the plan view, the old school building is in the shape of "冂", the whole building faces south, and the left and right wings surround a small playground.The staircase where Le Qinian is located is located in the center of the north side of the character "冂", with a wide view and a panoramic view of the left and right wings.But let alone the shadows, he didn't see any shadows.On the other hand, the light of the flashlight flashed on the east wing of the teaching building, it should be a certain contestant.

He returned to the first floor and pulled Ronaldinho up.

"What shadow did you see?" he asked.

Little Rose trembled: "It's just a black shadow, so big...so dark..."

A string of ellipsis floated across the barrage in the live broadcast room.

[...No, then what, is there still a shadow of white in the world? 】

[Listening to your words is like listening to your words. 】

[Why didn't I see anything just now? 】

【Because the cameraman has been pointing the camera at his jio...】

[Brother, can you be more professional?People invite you to take pictures of players, not selfies.And why are you so surprised, it's so noisy. 】

Ronaldinho also felt that he had said something nonsense.His face was pale, trying to recall the appearance of that black figure, but at the same time he was extremely reluctant to recall that horrible scene.

"That black figure looks like a very thin and tall person, like that kind of skinny African refugee..." His lips trembled, "but he...he has three legs..."

[Three legs, did I want to be crooked? 】

[Crooked, is it a demon spirit?Someone here is blatantly driving! 】

【Obviously it was a very weird and terrifying thing, but the moment you said it, it was immediately dyed in a bright color—yellow. 】

Ronaldinho looked upstairs tremblingly and found that there was nothing there.The terrifying black shadow actually only appeared for a moment, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.He scratched his head suspiciously, turned to Le Qinian, and smiled apologetically.

"Maybe I read it wrong... Don't waste your precious time for me, let's go treasure hunting!"

Le Qinian pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

He said so, but he didn't dare to take it lightly.

There is definitely something quirky about this old school building.Even people who don't have yin and yang eyes can occasionally see some unclean things in such a place with strong yin qi.If the person is born with a light horoscope or has a good sixth sense, it is not surprising to directly witness lifelike supernatural phenomena.

Le Qinian signaled Xiao Luo to follow him closely and move on.With his consent, Ronaldinho immediately posted it up like a candy, wishing he and Le Qinian could become conjoined twins.

[Uh, brother photographer, I told you to take more pictures of the contestants, but I didn't tell you to get the camera so close, okay?It almost hit Brother Le's face. 】

[Isn't this great?Appreciating Xiao Le's beauty up close, I licked the screen. 】

[Xiao Le's skin is good!The live broadcast cannot be PS, it must be true! 】

[Damn it, Yan Yu is so lucky, why can he have such a beauty!I'm so envious!So jealous!I want to have it too! 】

[Dear "Earth Online" players, if you delete your account and start over now, and choose a new initial job "Master of the Consortium", you will have a chance to win a beauty in the game! 】

The old school building has six floors. Because it was built in an early age, no elevators were installed.Classrooms for the first year of high school are arranged on the upper floor, and classrooms for the third year of high school are on the bottom floor, perhaps for the convenience of the third year students.

They climbed the stairs all the way to the top.

The east wing on the top floor is the classroom for senior one, and the main building on the north side is the principal's office, dean's office, meeting room, prize showroom and other rooms.In the west wing are several classrooms with special purpose, such as computer room and studio.

The program team still sent the script before the game.It was written in black and white that the winning works that Le Qinian was looking for were placed in the studio.

Le Qinian pointed forward with a flashlight, and walked towards the studio with Xiao Luo who was almost stuck on his back.He didn't need the flashlight, but in order to appease Xiao Luo, who was panicking like a groundhog who was about to scream at any time, he thought it would be better to turn on the flashlight.

The glass of the studio was covered with a thick layer of dust, and it was impossible to see the scene in the classroom clearly.Le Qinian tried to push the door.The door was not locked at all, and he opened it slowly with a long, toothache "creak" sound with a little force.

In the dark classroom stood an extremely tall and thin figure.His height was already beyond the range of normal people, his back seemed to be elongated by external forces, the top of his head almost reached the ceiling, but his waist was so thin that it seemed that there were only bones left.

"Hey——!" Ronaldinho let out a weird scream, which sounded like someone had stepped on the screaming chicken.

Le Qinian quickly pointed the flashlight at the slender figure, strode forward, and stretched out his hand to reveal——

The white light dispelled the darkness.A piece of white cloth fluttered to the ground.

Xiao Luo took a closer look and found that the figure turned out to be a plaster bust placed on top of a shelf and covered with a piece of cloth.In the dark it looked like a lanky man in a cloak.

"Yu, so it's David..." Ronaldinho laughed dryly.

Michelangelo's famous role stared at Ronaldinho with sad eyes.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Xiao Luo hurriedly changed the subject: "Brother Le, is the treasure you are looking for here?"

"What I'm looking for should be a painting." Le Qinian said.

Xiao Luo looked around: "But there are so many paintings here..."

In addition to plaster statues and other art props for students to use in the studio, there are also many student paintings hanging on the walls.There is a row of easels at the back of the classroom, each with an oil painting on it.I don't know if it was left by the previous students, or the program group deliberately used it to confuse the public.

"It seems that the program team also understands the principle of hiding trees in the forest." Le Qinian smiled and sighed.

With a flashlight on, he walked slowly along the studio, stopping for a moment in front of each painting, carefully identifying the content of the painting.

According to the script, the painting he was looking for was called "Sunshine Campus".It sounds like the name should be a landscape painting depicting Lujiang No. [-] Middle School.

However, he went around and looked at all the paintings, but couldn't find any that matched the description.

Only one painting depicts the campus scenery of Lujiang No. [-] Middle School.It hangs askew on the wall, and the painting is not the campus under the sun, but the old school building at night.In order to confirm this, Le Qinian specially used a flashlight to identify carefully, lest he saw the wrong color.

The script only gave the name of the painting, not the picture.Could it be that the title of the painting has nothing to do with the content?Are title parties popular in the art world?

"Brother Le, is this one?" Xiao Luo asked, pointing to the night scene of the campus.

"No. I seem to have misread it." Le Qinian raised his hand to straighten the painting.

The moment his fingers touched the frame, he felt something spread out, as if an invisible ripple had formed in the space.Ripples passed through his body, passed through the solid wall of the studio, and disappeared into the boundless night.

"Brother Le? What's the matter?" Xiao Luo noticed that Le Qinian's expression was wrong, and asked nervously.

squeak-

A shrill voice came from behind.

The studio door opened by itself.

Le Qinian turned around, pulled Xiao Luo behind him with one hand, and subconsciously put the other hand on the hilt of the mahogany sword.

If someone - or something - broke into the studio, he could immediately draw his sword to defend himself.

There was no one outside the slowly opened door.Only the night wind passed through the corridor and poured into the studio, making a shrill whistling sound.

The white cloth covering the plaster statue danced wildly in the wind, and the paintings hanging on the wall swayed from side to side.The sketch paper scattered on the ground flew away with a whoosh.A few paintbrushes were blown off the easel, rolling all over the ground.

"So it's the wind." Ronaldinho muttered.

He went to close the studio door.But the door lock was broken, and it couldn't be closed at all, and it was blown open again by the wind after a while.

"Leave it alone," Le Qinian said.

"But...it's creepy." Xiao Luo shuddered.

"It's better to leave it open. We can come in and out at any time. It's not good if the door closes and can't be opened again like in a horror movie."

Ronaldinho changed his mind immediately and pulled the door to the maximum.

Le Qinian let go of the hilt of his sword.Since the live broadcast is still going on, he should still give priority to the game mission.

His gaze turned to the hill of debris in the corner of the studio.Shouldn't the program crew hide the award-winning masterpiece in that kind of place?

But I searched all over the studio and couldn't find the painting, it could only be in the debris pile.

"Xiao Luo, come and help me." He rolled up his sleeves as he said, "Help me move those pair of things away."

Lujiang No. [-] Middle School, the playground.

Teacher Shao and Jun Mao sat together under the temporary pergola built by the program group, observing the progress of the contestants through the iPad in their hands.

Even though it was so far away, Teacher Shao could still hear the voices of people bustling outside the school gate.It has been a while since the live broadcast started, and I am afraid that many students have discovered that the venue of this competition is their alma mater.It is normal for them to come and watch.This kind of experience might not happen once in a lifetime.

"A contestant has arrived at the location where the treasure is hidden!" Jian Yidao said enthusiastically.

Teacher Shao hurriedly turned his attention back to the iPad.Among the four groups of contestants, Le Qinian has already entered the studio where the treasure is placed.

Jian Yidao handed the microphone to Teacher Shao. "The treasure arranged by the program group for Le Qinian is an award-winning painting by a student of Lujiang No. [-] Middle School. Teacher Shao, can you briefly introduce it to the audience?"

Teacher Shao was a little uncomfortable, but it was his task to answer questions for the audience and promote Lujiang No. [-] Middle School, so he had to bite the bullet and complete it.

"That's right. The painting is called "Campus in the Sun". Our No. [-] Middle School has always encouraged students to develop in an all-round way, focusing on cultivating students' aesthetic taste and personal strengths. Every year, the school will select outstanding student works to participate in the 'Green Shadow Cup' student Painting competition. The "Campus in the Sun" is the first award-winning work. Since then, many students have won the "Green Shadow Cup", and the total number of awards has been nine times."

"It really is a very commemorative treasure." Jian Yidao said with emotion, "Can Le Qinian find the award-winning work among the many paintings? Can he use his psychic ability to perceive the origin of the painting What? Audience friends, please continue—"

Before he finished speaking, a monstrous gust of wind suddenly swept across the playground.The simple pergola was completely skewed by the blowing, and the staff hurriedly supported the pillars to prevent the pergola from collapsing and hurting the guests.

Jun Mao next to him said "Huh?", and looked straight at the old school building with piercing eyes.

Others were busy fixing the arbor, but only Teacher Shao noticed Junmao's strange behavior.

"Master Jun, what's wrong?"

Jun Mao stroked his beard. "Just wait and see."

Old school studio.

Le Qinian removed the sundries one by one, handed them to Xiao Luo, and Xiao Luo moved them to the side.Although the hill of sundries looks big, after removing the tables, chairs and plaster statues on the top floor, the remaining space does not look like it can hide a painting.

In addition, there is no space to hide paintings in the studio.Where exactly is the award-winning artwork?

Could it be that the painting is actually small in size?Le Qinian heard that some miniatures are so small that they can be hidden in a sleeve.Is that also the case with that painting?

If the painting had been that small, it could have been hidden in a drawer or table hole.

He looked at a set of abandoned tables and chairs.When the new school building was built, brand-new tables and chairs were custom-made, and all the tables and chairs in the old school building have been donated to Project Hope Mountain School.Only those too dilapidated tables and chairs were treated as garbage and sundries and remained in the old school building.There are several sets in the studio.

They are either missing the table legs, or the back of the chair, or the table top has been carved with a carving knife, and it is full of words such as "XX is here for a visit", "XX I love you", "XX is a stupid X" and so on. .

Le Qinian bent down and looked into the table hole.Because it has been idle for too long, it is not only full of dust, but also cobwebs.

There is a notebook on the innermost side, the color of the dusty cover can no longer be seen clearly.Le Qinian took out the notebook, wiped off the dust, and revealed the hardcover red hard cover.

Ronaldinho pointed the camera at the notebook. "Brother Le, you found something good!"
