Chapter 162

Before he could finish his words, his fingers broke off and his entire arm fell from his shoulder. He was about to die. He closed his eyes and the hand that was still painting paused in mid-air and then became completely motionless. His entire body also collapsed. It seemed as if the blood was sealed inside his body, with no sign of flowing out. It was just red, like many blood bags reflecting light on the ground.

The painting was never finished.

Seeing this situation, people were panicked and sad for a while.

Some people even cried. When the emotions calmed down a little, the Marquis and the lady told them that they could ask Paradise to handle the matter according to the man's will.

"Didn't he say we could go find the person who had something to do with this? Who else could it be other than the person who lives in my guest room?"

The lady found paradise.

Paradise said, "I don't want to agree to you."

He seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma, but the lady couldn't figure out what he was in trouble for, and neither could the Marquis.

They became more and more anxious, and could not help but urge and ask, "What are you thinking? Isn't it better to get this done sooner? The sooner we can't solve it, the more dangerous it will be! Do you know? What are you waiting for? No one will come to help. We have already found someone who can help, there is no one else. Is there something wrong with you? Tell us, and we will solve it for you."

Leyuan shook his head: "I need to think about it."

He thought for a moment and said, "Even if you can't give me a day to think about it, at least give me an hour to think about it. This is not a small matter. You can't be unable to wait even an hour."

The lady was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slammed the table, frowned, blushed, and shouted angrily: "How can you do this? Don't push your luck! I won't always give in to you. You've gone too far. I've been tolerating you until now, why don't you understand? What do you think we are doing this for? If you don't consider the lives of the people outside, we still have to consider our own lives!"

Le Yuan was shocked by her voice, and felt his head and ears were buzzing. He blinked and smiled at her, "Oh, are you so anxious? I see you are having a lot of fun and enthusiasm in the sacrifice. Why don't you continue the sacrifice now? Anyway, you can give away anything. Why come to me to make trouble? This is not something worth being happy about."

Leyuan snorted and turned away: "You make it sound like I'm happy to see you."

He looked like he didn't want to talk to her anymore. The lady took a deep breath, knowing that she couldn't continue talking. She turned around and left. The Marquis walked behind her, bowed to Leyuan and said, "She has always been like this. Don't mind it."

Le Yuan said, "If I minded, I should have killed her a long time ago. You shouldn't have said this to me. I'm not the one who wants to kill her."

The Marquis pulled up the corner of his mouth and smiled awkwardly. Leyuan said, "If you want to leave, go ahead. Come back to me in an hour. Maybe, by then, I will have thought it through and can give you an answer. Whether I agree or not, there will always be an explanation."

If you are worried that I am delaying your treatment and causing you to die, that is not the case. Because even if I don’t delay you, you may not live to see the day of your death. You will die anyway after this period of time. I am not worried that I will not be able to survive.”

The Marquis asked, "Why do you think we died if not for this?"

Leyuan thought for a moment and said, "You should ask yourself what you have done before."

The Marquis thought about it, then suddenly smiled and turned away.

They all went out and Leyuan closed the door. The room suddenly became dark. Leyuan inexplicably felt that there was a person in the corner. When she turned around to look, she didn't see anyone there. If she faced the door directly and glanced out of the corner of her eye, she could see a dark figure wearing a long pink skirt in the dark corner of the wall with its back to Leyuan.

When the wind blew, a white ribbon swayed as if it was flying, as if it was saying hello.

Leyuan rubbed his eyes and turned his head to look, but there was still no one there. He thought for a while, closed his eyes, lay down on the table, and soon fell asleep.

A soft voice called out from a distance, "Why don't you get up? I have something to tell you."

Leyuan opened her eyes and turned her head to look. This time she saw someone. It was still Xu Miaoman. However, Xu Miaoman was floating in the air beside her, as if no one else was there. Leyuan looked around and didn't see the second person in the room. She turned around and faced Xu Miaoman. Xu Miaoman still had her back to him. She was wearing a pink long skirt, a white belt, and no shoes.

"You looking for me?"

Paradise asked.

"Yes, I came to you this time to ask you to do the job they asked you to do. If you are considering me, you can agree to it."

Xu Miaoman answered softly.

"How will this benefit you?"

Paradise asked.

"It's not a good thing. When that person spoke, he seemed to leave some room for maneuver. I'm not sure if he knows what this method means to others. He's already dead. I didn't see him. He's probably completely dead and won't become a ghost. But I know that for me, although being crushed to ashes sounds terrible, it's actually not like that."

Xu Miaoman seemed to smile and continued, "If you agreed to them and did what they asked, they probably thought I would be sealed in that painting, but because they painted a picture before, I felt a new perspective and I would not be completely trapped in it. Maybe it was because they did not finish the painting.

This also let me know that the man didn't want to kill them all.

If I finish that painting, I will probably be pulled involuntarily by a strong attraction and will not be able to get out. It will be like being locked in a huge villa. It is indeed a bit difficult to unlock the door, but it is not completely impossible. I can break the lock, learn to unlock it, and look for the key. However, I probably cannot find the key inside to open the door.

They won't prepare it for me.

It's okay, it's not a dead end, I can accept it.

It is more like a stubborn dividing line. Inside is my living area, and outside is where I shouldn't go out. I feel comfortable inside and gradually give up and leave. Once I go out, I feel that I can't adapt to the surrounding environment and therefore want to go back as soon as possible. The man probably thought that this method can ensure that I don't go crazy and kill people without letting others think he is covering up.

Unfortunately, he died suddenly. It was because he was not strong enough, not my fault.

If you don't have enough power, you will be like him. However, he has little to do with me. You and I, although not superficially related, have some origins. Even if I can't see it clearly now, I will know it in the future. My curiosity is not that strong now, so I don't want to ask you. You look a little tired, so you probably don't want to be questioned by me, so I will just tell you what I know.

Because you and I have some relationship, you have been stained with some of my power. When I paint, my power will be injected into the Fuyang paper through the pen because of the ashes. You are the one holding the pen, and you are the one who mainly bears the power. My power will attack you because it is forced to leave me, and the part of my power that is stained on you will protect you on the surface.

You should be able to last longer than him.

Having said that, if the painting is really finished, I will move in like moving into a new house. It will be easy and impossible for me to leave. Living in it, I can cultivate my body and mind, nourish my soul, and drive away evil spirits. Maybe after thousands of years, everything will be normal and I can let go and move on.

Let's not talk about things that are too far away. After you finish the painting, you can take the painting away from here, just like taking me away. However, the man said that if the background of the painting is mountains, rivers, and the sea, I don't think I can go back to my hometown. You can pick a good place and send me there, which can be regarded as fulfilling your promise. How about it?"

The park still said: "I need to think about it for a while."

Xu Miaoman said, "I understand."

Before he finished speaking, it disappeared. Leyuan suddenly stood up from the table and found that he had fallen asleep on the table. He turned over and lay on the bed, continued to rest, and fell asleep again.

Bang bang bang.

A servant came and knocked on the door, saying that the Marquis and the lady had asked him to look for someone and asked if he was going.

Paradise asked: "Is it time?"

The servant shook his head: "There is still half an hour."

Leyuan smiled and said, "Okay, come find me when the time comes. Thank you."

He closed the door and said to the people outside, "Don't disturb me."

The man had no choice but to leave.

After the lady and the Marquis left, they were about to go back to the crowd as they felt it was safer there, but on the way they saw another master who had come to them. He just blocked their way, opened his mouth, and died bleeding. The body lay on the ground. Two men stepped over the body and told the servants to clean it up as soon as possible. The fifth master said he wanted to give it a try, so they let him try once, but this time he was not as good as the first time, and died instantly.

So many people died in succession, and everyone was very upset. When they saw the lady and the Marquis appear, they chased them and asked about the situation. They said they had to wait for an hour. Many people said, "I'm anxious to go home, and I'll be called back when the matter is resolved." But they were also upset when they got home and couldn't do anything else. They were very restless.

The time has come, the park is open, the door is opened, and there is a group of people outside.

Paradise said, "Let's go."

Everyone was delighted.

Leyuan painted that picture in front of everyone, but what he was thinking about was the painting he had seen before he came. Unconsciously, the painting he drew was exactly the same.

Others didn't know and were still happy, shouting, "We're saved!"
