Chapter 214: The strange painting that changed
"Why are there three people missing?"
Hicks strode towards the painting, took a few glances, and then confirmed that there were only three people missing.
There are a total of thirteen characters in the painting "The Last Supper".
That is, Jesus and his twelve disciples.
The same is true of this imitation painting.
But now, the three people who were originally on the far right of the screen and whose presence was not very strong have disappeared.
Lin Jiu sat on the sofa, stretched his neck and looked at it without saying a word.
There are indeed three people missing.
At this time, Christie came down from the second floor. Out of curiosity, Todd and Charles stood up almost at the same time and walked over.
There are also thirteen characters in the original imitation painting.
Unlike the "Last Supper" which depicts the various psychological descriptions of the characters, the imitation painting does not clearly depict the psychological descriptions of the characters.
So much so that, at a quick glance, it looks like a picture of a group of people having dinner together.
However, a few people have deliberately observed and analyzed the imitation paintings carefully out of interest.
This imitation painting does depict some of the characters' psychological characteristics, but it is not as obvious as in "The Last Supper".
For example, the elegant man sitting in the middle.
Although silent, his posture showed the confidence of a superior who was in control of everything. He lowered his eyes, with a faint smile on his lips. His relaxed look clearly showed that he was fully aware of everything happening around him and was indifferent.
The first group of three people sitting on the right are the only two characters in the picture whose emotions are clearly expressed.
The person they were talking to was clearly the one sitting in the middle, and their expressions were all slightly flattering. Although the content of their conversation was unknown, it was clear that they were trying to speak well of themselves, hoping to attract the attention of the person in the middle.
The three people who disappeared, the second group of three sitting on the right, were one man and two women, apparently a couple and a daughter.
They sat quietly in the corner, seemingly indifferent to their surroundings and just enjoying their dinner quietly, but in fact they were all paying attention to the situation, and the daughter's performance was the most obvious.
The first group of three people on the left are another group of people who express their emotions very clearly.
Two of them seemed to be arguing, each with a hint of anger in their expressions, but a closer look revealed that this anger was directed at the person in the middle. The remaining person looked panicked, their movements appearing to be obstructive.
The second group of three people on the left also have a small presence.
On the surface, although they seemed to be eating quietly, they were actually peeking around, watching the fun without any concealment. One of them was even covering his mouth and laughing.
This is the scene in the complete painting.
But now, three people have disappeared.
The characters' emotional expressions in the picture also changed.
The man in the middle withdrew his smile, tightened his grip on his wine glass, and frowned slightly. His solemn demeanor indicated that he had lost his initial composure and control, and the course of events was clearly slipping out of his control.
The three people on the right showed a trace of timidity and uneasiness on their faces, as if they were panicked by the sudden change. They were cautious in their postures and their bodies appeared to be slightly hunched.
The first group on the left has not changed much. Two of them still look angry, but this emotion is no longer directed at the person in the middle. There is a hint of other emotions between their eyebrows besides complete anger.
The person who was originally trying to stop him was looking around.
The people in the second group on the left have changed the most obviously. One of them stood up slightly and was looking around. Another tried to get him to sit down with one hand, and his eyes kept looking elsewhere. The rest of the people were carefully observing the person sitting in the middle.
In the painting, everyone's expression is very lively, as if there are real people in it.
——Just like that, the same thought came to the minds of the people standing in front of the painting.
At the same moment, several people took a few steps back at the same time.
After looking at each other, it was obvious that they had the same idea.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Seeing several people retreating at the same time, Ivan immediately stood up and took a alert posture.
Todd looked back at him and shook his head slightly: "No, I just think that the people in this painting are too realistic."
One of the newcomers said something very stupid: "Is it because the painter is very skilled?"
Lin Jiu glanced at the newcomer who spoke.
No one paid any attention to him.
The newcomer scratched his head, seeming a little embarrassed.
Lin Jiu stood up at this time and walked over.
"Let me see." He strode towards the painting and ignored Todd's attempts to stop him.
The moment the imitation painting appeared in sight, a prompt box popped up sensibly.
[A strange painting, seemingly filled with a strong sense of resentment.]
Lin Jiu, bending over and touching his chin, seemingly looking at the painting intently but actually reading the prompt box, turned to look at the others after reading this and asked, "Do you feel anything about this painting?"
Several people shook their heads in unison.
Todd stepped forward at this moment and put his hand on the frame.
He frowned slightly, as if trying to feel something.
Lin Jiu tilted his head and looked at him, waiting for the result.
After a few seconds, Todd withdrew his hand and spoke slowly: "Although I didn't feel anything, there seems to be something in this painting."
Todd didn't elaborate. He turned around and reminded a few people to be careful with the painting, then pulled Lin Jiu back to a safe distance.
"What do you think is in this painting?" Lin Jiu asked, looking at Todd's profile.
Todd turned his head at this time, glanced at Lin Jiu, and then his gaze returned to the painting.
“Something powerful,” he said.
Todd felt that this painting seemed to be conveying some kind of message.
Hearing this answer, Lin Jiu also looked at the painting, then slowly said, "There is a strong resentment in this painting."
You can't feel anything at this distance, but if you get close to the painting, you can indeed feel some emotions.
Todd looked at Lin Jiu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He didn't feel anything clearly, and his previous guess was based entirely on his experience as a senior exorcist.
Todd was surprised and a little envious of Lin Jiu's accurate answer.
This is the difference caused by talent.
"If it's a message, shouldn't we research it?" Reginald spoke up at this point. After playing several games, he was no longer as timid as he was at first. "It's very likely to be an important clue."
Although Reginald did not express it affirmatively, everyone present knew it in their hearts.
This is definitely not a coincidence. The message conveyed in the painting must be closely related to the ancient castle, or in other words, to this copy.
Maybe some of the truth they want is in this painting.
