Chapter 158 The Female Ghost Walking Out of the Portrait
The painting was sold for 70,000 yuan, which was actually a considerable sum for Hu Fei.
In the past, Hu Fei would never have spent so much money to buy a painting.
But today he didn't know what was wrong with him. There was always a voice in his heart clamoring for him to take it home.
And that’s exactly what he did.
The artist of this painting is Xi Xuan, a hot newcomer in the circle recently. One of his paintings has been sold for as high as hundreds of thousands.
His works are bizarre and weird in style, with bold colors, dark and decadent. These four words are fully displayed in his works.
The most common elements in Xi Xuan's works are bones, female ghosts, and blood.
Hu Fei is exactly the recipient of this style.
When Chen Ming found out that he had spent 70,000 yuan to buy Xi Xuan's painting, he felt as if he was struck by lightning and stood still.
"You're crazy!"
Chen Ming shook Hu Fei's head, as if to shake out the water in his brain, "You spent 70,000 yuan to buy Xi Xuan's painting?"
"Yes, he has superb painting skills, and his composition and colors are very good, but don't you think the things he draws are creepy and particularly unlucky?"
Hu Fei frowned and brushed away Chen Ming's hand. "Don't talk nonsense. I think it's pretty. How can it be creepy? You should look for the reason from yourself. Are you too timid?"
Chen Ming: “???”
How can you, a person who dares not go out because of feudal superstition, say that I am timid?
Are you sure you're not here to make fun of me?
Chen Ming didn't understand and didn't respect Hu Fei's strange behavior.
He tried his best to persuade Hu Fei to return the painting and exchange it for a relatively normal one.
However, Hu Fei glanced at him coldly at this time, holding the painting tightly in his hand and said, "Chen Ming, you are too nosy. Whether he is scary or not has nothing to do with you. As long as I like him, that's all."
After saying this, he no longer cared about Chen Ming, and walked away in big strides holding the painting.
"baffling!"
"Grass!"
Chen Ming cursed and felt that Hu Fei was like a psychopath today, moody and simply sick!
Hu Fei carefully protected his paintings in his arms and did not allow anyone to touch them accidentally.
At night, he carefully wiped the edges of the frame and hung it on the wall with great care.
The painting was hung facing his bed.
When he opened his eyes at night, he could see it.
The night gradually deepened. After taking a shower, Hu Fei lay on the bed playing with his mobile phone. He raised his eyes inadvertently and found that the woman in the painting seemed to be smiling at him.
Hu Fei rubbed his eyes, put down his phone immediately, and grabbed the quilt tightly.
The woman in the painting he bought was not smiling. If he had seen her smiling, it would have been a ghost story!
Then, when he rubbed his eyes and looked again, he found that everything in the painting was the same as when he bought it.
"I'm really dazzled!"
Hu Fei muttered something, ignored it, and continued to lie on the bed playing with his phone and watching short videos.
After brushing the screen for about another half an hour, Hu Fei gradually felt sleepy. He yawned, put his phone aside, and fell into a deep sleep.
He forgot to turn off the screen, and the faint light from his phone illuminated the strange painting.
Kaba... Kaba...
There was a sound of a machine's neck twisting, and the photo frame fell to the ground with a clang, but strangely, there was no sound.
Gong... Gong... Gong...
The female ghost in a white dress dragged her heavy steps, twisted her neck, stepped on the ground again and again, and slowly walked to Hu Fei's bed.
“Hehe…Hehe…”
She slowly opened her mouth, revealing her sharp white teeth.
The female ghost bent down, leaned closer, and put her face close to Hu Fei who was sleeping on his side.
She stretched out a wax-white hand and slowly touched Hu Fei's forehead, then from the forehead to the jawline, and finally to the clavicle.
She grinned, slowly climbed onto the bed, and whispered sweetly into Hu Fei's ear.
Hu Fei frowned in his dream. The cold touch made him very uncomfortable.
He groaned and pulled the quilt over his head.
The female ghost tilted her head, her dark eyes moved slowly, and a creepy smile came out of her throat.
She slowly climbed onto Hu Fei, stretched out a pair of pale hands, and slowly strangled Hu Fei's neck.
A feeling of suffocation came over me, accompanied by an extremely cold breath.
Hu Fei's whole body stiffened, and he felt as if something was lying on top of him.
He wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids seemed to be stuck with strong 502 glue, and he couldn't open his eyes no matter how hard he tried.
He tried to move his fingers or flex his toes, but every organ in his body seemed to be disobeying his command.
His body was paralyzed, but his mind was clear.
Hu Fei finally realized that he was suffering from sleep paralysis!
His heart was pounding and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Hu Fei didn't understand why he encountered this kind of thing. He hadn't stayed up late recently and wasn't under too much mental stress, so how could he have sleep paralysis?
The numbness in my body is still there, and the feeling of suffocation is getting stronger.
Hu Fei felt that this was the end of him today.
However, in a flash, he suddenly remembered that he had read some popular science that said there was no need to panic or be afraid if you encountered something like a ghost pressing on your bed. You could drive the thing away by swearing in your mind.
Hu Feidun didn't care whether the person who was oppressing him was a human or a ghost, or what else he was talking about. He just cursed in his heart, using all the dirty words he could say in his life.
He was a little scared at first, but as he kept on cursing, he got really angry. His rage grew stronger and his curses became fouler.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you pester me! I have a very good relationship with Master Huo. She can turn you into ashes with just a flick of her finger!"
"You blind, blind ghost! Idiot!"
When this dirty word came out of his mouth, Hu Fei was surprised to find that he could actually move!
He can move!
Hu Fei suddenly sat up from the bed and turned on the light in the room.
The room was brightly lit, and Hu Fei suddenly discovered that the painting of a beauty that he had bought at a high price had fallen to the ground.
Hu Fei's first reaction was heartache. He wanted to quickly pick it up and hang it back on the wall.
But soon, he thought of the sleep paralysis he had just experienced, of Huo Ning's reminder to him not to go to the art exhibition, and of Chen Ming's previous description of this painting as being terrifying.
Hu Fei suddenly didn't dare to go forward to look at the painting.
He even found a large piece of red cloth in the room and covered it.
After this incident, he lost all desire to sleep.
He forced himself to keep his eyes open until the first ray of sunlight came out, then he turned off the lights and managed a short sleep.
But in the dream——
