At the entrance of the exhibition hall, the receptionist put away the sign with the price listed.
Not only that, the doors to the exhibition hall were also left half-closed.
This means that guests without special requests will be refused entry.
"They were waiting for us; that painting was prepared for us."
"If nothing unexpected happens, someone must have tipped them off earlier."
Qin Tan analyzed.
"But why is that?"
Lin Zhisui frowned deeply as he looked at the oil painting that had been temporarily taken in.
"The people in the old town love to do things for money. If I'm not mistaken, they might know that we're nearby monitoring them."
There's an oil painting here, so they definitely have to stay until the very end to ensure everything is foolproof.
"He may not have accepted the painter's investment, but he did accept the painter's commission."
This painting was destined to be delivered to them.
"So I guess the other two teams probably encountered problematic paintings in the places they went to as well."
"Moreover, there must be only one place that is the painter's true goal."
The painter gave her the impression that he had a very strong purpose.
At this point, Lin Zhisui's expression calmed down, and he quickly contacted the other teams.
A few minutes later, Lin Zhisui took a deep breath.
"Just like you said, we encountered the other teams as well."
"Qin Tan, can you guess who the painter's target is?"
When he asked the other teams, they were still gloating over having found the problem.
After he shared Qin Tan's analysis, those people realized the seriousness of the situation.
The painter seems to have consciously scattered them.
The purpose is to prevent the other two teams from providing rapid support if a problem occurs in one area.
After all, before the outbreak, no one could guarantee that the art exhibition they were guarding wouldn't run into problems.
I can't guess.
As soon as Qin Tan finished speaking, she and the princess on her shoulder looked down at the art exhibition almost simultaneously.
"Now I know."
She said.
A young man appeared at the entrance of the art exhibition.
The other party seemed to have already spotted Qin Tan and the others, waving and greeting them in their direction.
Qin Tan saw the other person's lips moving.
A voice appeared in her mind.
"I left in a hurry last time, so please allow me to formally introduce myself this time."
"Hello, I am a painter from the Fire of the Spirit Society."
"My ability is the S-rank [Divine Brush]. My ability can indeed achieve the effect of creating a perfect fake as you guessed."
"I sincerely invite Ms. Qin Tan to join our Torch Society."
“I assure you, we are not those madmen from the Abyss Church who take pleasure in slaughter.”
"Join us, and we will step into the forbidden realm together."
The painter's voice was enticing; he bent slightly and made an inviting gesture to Qin Tan.
Qin Tan responded with the blood energy emanating from the Grim Reaper's Scythe.
A battle is about to break out.
After notifying the other teams, the squad members began to fight the enemy with all their might.
Manny's barrier immediately enveloped the area, protecting the old street.
At the same time, the barrier compresses inward, attempting to force the painter into nothingness.
Uncle Shui jumped down.
As a high-end combatant in the team, Uncle Shui's ability is A-level [Titan].
This extraordinary ability not only enhances the body but also multiplies the user's combat power when they are low on health.
Therefore, Uncle Shui often deliberately runs into the opponent's attacks during battles.
Qin Tan arrived shortly after.
The cold, black scythe was brimming with fighting spirit.
The wind whistling around Qin Tan was Lin Zhisui's.
A blade of wind, carrying the force of killing, attacked the painter's neck.
Despite being surrounded by several people, the painter remained standing still, seemingly unfazed.
He chuckled, and a paintbrush appeared in his hand.
With a tremor of fingertips, a painting is completed in an instant.
After a loud commotion, a huge monster descended from the sky and stood before everyone.
Uncle Shui was forced to retreat.
The group looked up at the hairy monster with a gaping maw.
The height of the five-story building is awe-inspiring.
Not to mention that the opponent possesses both extreme defensive and offensive capabilities.
The other person raised their foot and stomped down hard on Qin Tan.
Ground shaking.
Qin Tan, now in a state of resonance, had a calm and composed gaze.
She retreated, pushed off the ground with one foot, and leaped high into the air, landing directly on the monster's arm, and then using the momentum to climb up.
The black scythe slashed towards the other person's neck.
The blade gleamed with a bloody light, but in the end, it only left a bloody gash on the other person's neck.
It is not fatal.
What are you worried about?
Qin Tan heard the painter's voice again.
The painter stood at the entrance of the exhibition hall, smiling at her without any sense of crisis.
"You know perfectly well that if you unleash your full power, the monster I drew will be no match for you."
"Qin Tan, are you scared?"
Are you afraid to let your companions know that you are an outlier who doesn't follow the rules?
"Come with me, and you can show your true self."
The painter extended another invitation.
"dream!"
The painter's response was nothing more than two cold words from Qin Tan.
She leaned back to avoid the monster's palm.
They moved nimbly over each other's bodies.
Its defenses are very strong, but its massive size makes it move very slowly.
With the support of the resonance, Qin Tan's reactions far exceeded those of the monster, making it impossible for the monster to catch her.
With the addition of attacks from the others, the monster would be overwhelmed.
After all, it is a "painting," and it cannot think independently like a human being.
However, after a short while, under the combined attack of the group, the monster was caught in a fierce battle and began to show signs of weakness.
