So he sent Secretary Liu with the sketch and two experts to find Xia Tianqiong to discuss how to save the person.
Secretary Liu slowly recounted the whole story, then looked at Xia Tianqiong with anticipation.
Xia Tianqiong didn't rush to respond; he was recalling information from his previous life.
The official information about this painting ghost was released in the previous life. It's not difficult to solve, just a bit troublesome.
Suddenly someone asked, "If we tear up the painting or break it, can we rescue the person inside?"
At this moment, all the monster hunters gathered here to look at this strange sketch and watch the people and monsters fighting in the painting.
An expert standing next to Secretary Liu shook his head and said, "If this painting is damaged, the people inside will be affected. We tried it before and accidentally killed two people."
Besides Zhou Boyu and his team, the painting also includes a dozen or so civilians who were previously included in the painting.
Strangely, they weren't attacked by the monsters; instead, they were huddled in the lower right corner of the drawing, watching the battle unfold.
Another expert added, "The painting will automatically repair itself after it is damaged. We speculate that it will take continuous destruction to deplete its ghostly power and eventually completely destroy the painting."
But that could very likely result in the death of everyone inside, so it shouldn't be done unless absolutely necessary.
"If we soak it in water, will it damage the painting?"
"Or use an eraser to wipe off the drawing."
The onlookers offered their opinions, but both experts shook their heads.
“We’ve tried all of these things you’re talking about.”
One of the bald experts lamented, "We even tried to absorb the ghostly power in the painting, but it didn't work. We also tried to find the eeriness behind the painting, but unfortunately, we still haven't found anything. Maybe it's hidden in the painting, but we can't get it out."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
Before any bizarre event is solved, it has baffled many people.
Just as the atmosphere at the scene was tense, Xia Tianqiong suddenly spoke up, "Finding the painting ghost is very simple, it's right here."
He casually pointed to the lower right corner of the screen, where a dozen or so people were gathered, their backs to the screen, looking in the direction where Zhou Boyu and his group were fighting.
Everyone present was puzzled, and even the veteran expert was somewhat perplexed.
“We’ve had our suspicions, but there’s no indication that the strange thing is hiding among these people. Even if it is, there’s no way to bring it out.”
Xia Tianqiong smiled confidently, "It's difficult to get out, but it's not difficult to get in."
Everyone was startled and looked at Xia Tianqiong.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Shouldn't we be trying to rescue them? Why are you going back in?
"Do you have a way to find the ghost in the painting and enter it?"
The baldness expert looked at Xia Tianqiong with some excitement.
Xia Tianqiong turned to Secretary Liu beside her and said, "Consider this a task. I'll take it. Remember to give me points."
Secretary Liu's brows relaxed, and his face lit up with joy. "Of course, we'll calculate the points. Director Chen personally instructed that if you can rescue Captain Zhou and the others, you will be rewarded handsomely."
"That's good, leave this to me!"
Xia Tianqiong took on everything and didn't take Hua Gui seriously at all.
Dozens of ghost hunters present, whether civilians or officials, were very curious and wanted to see how he would rescue the person.
At the same time, many people have doubts.
Who is this guy? Does the bureau chief's secretary have to personally bring people to beg him to solve a problem?
Ignoring the gazes of the crowd, Xia Tianqiong stepped forward and approached the sketch.
He gently poked at a small group of people gathered in the lower right corner with his finger.
"Hey, I want a portrait drawn, come out and draw it for me."
"..."
There was no response.
Xia Tianqiong called out again, but there was still no response.
The scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone, big and small, looked at Xia Tianqiong in surprise.
Those gazes seemed to be asking, "Is this your solution?"
That's hilarious!
The baldness expert suddenly reminded him, "The people in the painting cannot communicate with the real world; we've tried that before."
"That shouldn't be the case!"
Xia Tianqiong touched her nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
In the information officially released in the previous life, the painting ghost was summoned in this way, and then several ghost hunters were drawn into the painting.
But the ghost hunters were prepared, carrying a large amount of ghost money.
Finally, by exhausting the ghost's Netherworld power, they were able to subdue it and release the person trapped inside.
But why isn't it working now?
Is the authorities withholding crucial information again?
Xia Tianqiong was filled with doubts. Little did he know that in his previous life, the Bureau had tried for a day and a night but still failed to rescue the people inside. In the end, they decided to destroy the painting.
After hearing this, the ghost painter revealed himself and included the other ghost hunters in the painting, intending to use them as leverage to prevent the Bureau from destroying the painting.
If the painting is destroyed, it will also be severely damaged.
It hasn't been pushed to that point yet, and the authorities don't plan to destroy the painting for the time being, so they haven't responded to Xia Tianqiong.
