The back of the man in black was so close that it seemed as if he could touch it with just his hand. For some reason, Yue Ya always felt that if he pushed aside his messy hair, he would see a ghostly face.
It sounds unbelievable, but he really feels that he is "looking into" the back of this head.
They just stared at each other, and the man in black stood there motionless, without any other movement.
Xiao Feng gently pulled the corner of Yue Ya's clothes and whispered, "Brother, the man in black was on the other side going downstairs just now, right? How come he suddenly flashed in front of you..."
Yue Ya looked back and saw Xiao Feng slowly opening his eyes, his Adam's apple moving uneasily: "Brother, the man in black in front of you is gone!"
The man in black appeared silently behind Xiaofeng, and Yueya could only see his back. Could it be that this guy had no front view at all?
Yueya warned Xiaofeng: "No matter what happens, no matter what you hear, don't let go."
"Snap—" The black-clothed man's arm was bent at a terrifying angle and placed on Xiaofeng's shoulder without any warning.
Xiao Feng shuddered, his pupils trembling: "...Is he behind me?"
The man in black put his head close to Xiao Feng's ear and smiled sinisterly: "Yes, I'm behind you."
The cold hair brushed against his ears, and Xiaofeng froze, not daring to move.
The man in black put his hand on Xiaofeng's palm and said quietly, "It's so dangerous to take the elevator. I'm here to protect you."
The palm of the man in black was as cold as a corpse. Xiao Feng was sweating coldly: "Brother, my hand is numb! Can I use my skills?"
"Just don't let go, he can't do anything to you." Yue Ya felt that the man in black was mainly focusing on his field of vision. He turned his head and looked forward, and sure enough, the lingering figure appeared in front of him again.
"Huh..." Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but before his heart could calm down, he saw the man in black standing in front of Yue Ya again: "Why is he still here!"
The escalators were always running but never reached the second floor. As soon as they reached a certain point they would return to their original position, repeating the cycle over and over again.
Yue Ya frowned: "I've encountered a ghost wall."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black who was a few steps away from Yue Ya teleported in front of him, and the back of his dark and wet head was almost touching his face!
Yueya was mentally strong enough that she just opened her eyes wide and still stood steadily.
The back of the man in black continued to approach, and he sighed in an ambiguous tone: "You have such a beautiful face."
Yue Ya had no expression on her face: "What do you want to say?"
"I really want a face like yours." The man in black said greedily.
Yue Ya chuckled: "You dare to think so."
The man in black was very dissatisfied with his attitude, and his tone suddenly became worse: "You want to go upstairs?"
"yes."
"You dare to think so," the man in black said in response. He let out a breath, his emotions rising again, and stretched out his hands in a weird posture: "Hold my hands, I will take you up, otherwise you will be wandering here forever."
Yue Ya sneered in his heart, who is he trying to fool?
As long as the handrail is released, the safety conditions for riding the escalator will be violated, and the man in black can do whatever he wants.
"Why don't you answer me?" The man in black twisted his head strangely, his messy hair swaying with it, and a blood-red eye was looming.
Yue Ya: "Don't block the road, get out of the way."
"I understand what you mean. Then you should pay the 200,000 yuan toll. Otherwise..." the man in black dragged out a shrill voice: "You will die."
The elevator stopped!
Feeling something sharp and cold tugging at his ankle, Yue Ya looked down and saw a white hand emerging from under his feet.
The man in black failed to deceive, so he tried to intimidate.
Unfortunately, the man in black found the wrong person. Yue Ya is not a pushover.
"Isn't 200,000 a bit expensive?" Yue Ya did not deal with the hand for the time being, as if he was considering it seriously.
The man in black was very proud: "I have been here for so many years, and everyone is charged the same price!"
"Really? Then your business is really good, you must have made a lot of money," Yue Ya pulled out her leg and stepped hard on the pale palm, with a vicious smile in her beautiful eyes: "Kill you, and this business will belong to me."
The man in black was shocked, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "You, you want to steal my job?!"
Yue Ya took the initiative to approach the man in black and said in a low voice: "Don't you feel that there is a lot of evil spirit around me? I am not here alone."
Those ghosts who followed him but didn't show up were his subordinates in Yue Ya's mouth. The ghosts didn't realize that they were being used. They hadn't found the right time to attack, so they wouldn't show up easily. In this way, the man in black was completely fooled by Yue Ya.
The man in black carefully felt it and indeed found the fierce aura. He quickly distanced himself from Yue Ya and said, "Please go up to the second floor."
You’re so polite. You’re totally different from before.
Yue Ya was in no hurry to leave. She looked at the man in black thoughtfully and said, "You've been collecting tolls here for so long. You must have quite a bit of savings, right?"
Dangerous, very dangerous. The man in black immediately disappeared, leaving only a timid voice: "I don't have any, I'm very poor, you must be in a hurry, let's go."
"You're the one who wouldn't let me leave, and you're the one who drove me away. You're so fickle." Yue Ya sighed, "Now that I'm here, how can I explain to my brothers if I leave with nothing? If they're unhappy, your business will..."
A white paper bag appeared in the air, and the man in black said, "It's just a little gift from you. Take care."
Yueya opened the white paper package and found a paper money worth 200,000 yuan inside, which was not bad.
[I never expected that someone would come to steal my job. In order to keep it, I had no choice but to pay the protection fee.]
[I will translate for the black-clothed male ghost: Go away, go far away, and it’s best not to come back]
[Another 200,000 yuan in income]
[I suspect the host silently drew a small treasury sign on this elevator]
[You see through the true nature of Moon Cub!]
Yueya put the money in her pocket and went upstairs as the man in black wished.
The man in black disappeared, and the only sound in the empty mall was the cold reminder tone that kept repeating.
"Another extreme maneuver," Xiao Feng exclaimed, and calmly reviewed the escalator incident: "In fact, as long as we stand firmly and hold on, the man in black can't hurt us, right? So he can only do some small tricks to scare us and force us to let go. As long as we are firm and don't let go, the wall will fall apart by itself."
Yueya nodded: "Not bad."
Xiao Feng lowered his voice and spoke quickly: "But not only did you discover the safety conditions in the first place, you also collected protection money. That's amazing. This is not something I could have come up with using my brain circuit."
Yue Ya corrected him: "What protection fee? This is a passing red envelope."
…
Yueya followed the signs to the wig shop, and after walking through a simple corridor, she saw the entrance to the exhibition.
The entrance is designed in a very conventional way. Opposite the corridor is a neat white wall with a large realistic oil painting hanging on it, and elegant artistic words written next to it:
“Future” oil painting exhibition.
Artist: Black Crow.
On the right side of the white wall is the entrance, and next to it stands a notice with a very artistic atmosphere. Yue Ya looked into the painting hall through the entrance and saw a woman wearing a white dress and an exaggerated black hat.
The woman sat on a metal chair, holding her chin elegantly, revealing only half of her smooth profile.
Yue Ya always felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. He retracted his gaze and looked at the oil painting at the door. This painting was somewhat special. It depicted the entrance to the exhibition and reproduced every detail. Because it was very realistic, it looked like a small painting hall space embedded in the wall.
As Yue Ya looked at the painting, he suddenly discovered that there was also a woman in a white dress and a black hat in the painting, and even her posture was the same as the woman he had just seen!
Is this a performance art to accompany the oil painting exhibition?
He silently repeated the artist's name - Black Crow, a name that fits the temperament of the woman in the painting very well.
"We have to go through this gallery on our way to the wig shop," Xiao Feng exclaimed in a low voice, "I didn't expect there would be such a high-class gallery in the mall."
"Read the notice first." Yueya read the words on the notice.
"Welcome to the 'Future' oil painting exhibition. We have designed an interactive session for this exhibition. As long as you find three hidden surprise paintings in the hall, you can get a mysterious gift. Things you may not know are -
1. When you visit the exhibition, you also become a part of the artwork;
2. After discovering the hidden painting, tap the frame;
3. Praise the artist and she will feel happy;
4. When you discover the truth, it also means that this tour has come to an end. "
It can be seen that this art exhibition is of the same nature as the horror bear check-in point on the first floor. You can get hints or rewards by completing the tasks.
The coupons issued by the Horror Bear check-in point on the first floor are a bit useless, but that doesn't mean that the rewards at all check-in points are useless. Since they have to go through the painting hall, they might as well turn the passive into the active.
Yueya and Xiaofeng said, "This notice has a lot of content and details, and it doesn't clearly state the taboos. Remember one thing when you go in: don't move your hands when you see something."
Xiao Feng nodded repeatedly: "Remember it."
As Yueya walked in, he noticed from the corner of his eye that the large oil painting seemed to have noticed some changes. He looked sideways and saw two more figures from behind in the painting! Their clothes and hairstyles were exactly the same as theirs!
Is this a warning? Yue Ya had no idea, and no time to stay at the entrance for too long.
The temperature inside the painting hall was lower than outside. Yue Ya had been frozen unconscious. The severe cold made his condition worse. He felt the pain in his forehead again, and even his eyes felt cold.
Yueya vaguely felt that the horns were about to pop out.
Yue Ya felt a little sleepy, so he rubbed his brows and perked up to look at the paintings on the wall.
The theme of the oil painting exhibition should be portraits, but all the paintings on display are lifelike portraits, some are half-body and some are full-body.
Xiao Feng rubbed the goose bumps on his hands and said softly, "I don't know why, but I feel like these paintings are familiar, as if I've seen them somewhere."
"Didn't you recognize her?" Yueya stopped and pointed at a portrait of a woman: "This is the black-dressed female clerk at the Zero Clothing Store, the one who scammed us."
Xiao Feng took a closer look and immediately got furious: "What the hell!!"
The woman in the painting has a beautiful smile and a gentle look, and it is indeed difficult to associate her with the gloomy ghost clerk in the black dress. One needs to observe carefully to realize it.
Xiaofeng looked at the portraits again and noticed that there were many familiar faces.
"So, this hall is full of portraits of ghosts?" Xiao Feng covered his mouth after saying this, fearing that the ghost brothers and sisters would jump out of the paintings.
Yueya nodded. He also discovered something else: "The protagonists in these paintings are all looking at the same place."
This time, Xiao Feng specifically looked at the eyes of the people in the painting, checking their line of sight: "It really is!"
Xiao Feng followed the line of sight of the person in the painting and stopped in front of a painting on the opposite wall: "Could this painting be a hidden painting?"
This painting is very simple. It shows a long-haired girl looking back and smiling. The background is the scary bear check-in point on the first floor. However, the stuffed bear in the painting does not look ferocious and is very cute.
"She is a player. I've seen her." Yue Ya followed the instructions on the notice and tapped the picture frame.
In the blink of an eye, blood seeped out of the frame, and the content of the painting was completely subverted! The long-haired girl in the painting fell in a pool of blood, her face horrified, her eyes wide open, and her body covered with dense hair. Behind the girl were an astonishing number of wig heads. This scene took place in a wig shop.
The scene was horrifying. Xiao Feng took a few steps back with a pale face: "Is this female player dead?"
Yue Ya shook her head: "This exhibition is called 'Future'."
