Chapter 70

When you look at a painting, stay still. When you look at a sculpture, stand still.

Sera turned this sentence over in her mind. So these are the rules you need to follow to survive in an art museum?

When I was about to ask again, Carrett had already left the exhibition hall and went somewhere unknown.

Sera did not chase after him. The words she had just spoken to Carrett had already used up all her courage. After all, the person in front of her was a non-human who was interested in their bones.

It is a taboo to pursue relentlessly.

Sera looked at the other paintings and carefully slowed down her breathing.

This was an oil painting exhibition hall, so she couldn't make too much noise. Martin and others in the exhibition hall also adjusted their breathing and footsteps, trying to keep the entire exhibition hall quiet.

Suddenly the whole room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

When the exhibition hall was quiet, Serra discovered that something in the other paintings was stirring, as if it was suddenly confused, and after shaking in confusion, it remained still. It looked like an ordinary painting, and the strange scenes before were no longer seen.

Sera slowly let go of her worries. She suddenly had the confidence to live on. Next, she just had to wait for the gray mist to appear again...

As soon as this thought came into her mind, Sera noticed that there was a man in the exhibition hall quietly looking at her.

Sera looks good, with a tall stature, a plump figure, deep eyes and thin red lips. When Sera was in college, many boys pursued her. Even when she walked through the campus, boys would often look at her directly.

She has experienced all kinds of looks from men, whether they are ambiguous or provocative.

But this time it was different, the man looked at him with some ill intentions.

Sera became alert, and then she noticed that the man had been secretly looking at her fingers. Suddenly, Sera's back was covered with hair, and she remembered an important question.

Carrett's original words were: 'I will let anyone who gives me a satisfactory trade leave.'

The items of trade specifically refer to their bones, and Kailett also "thoughtfully" points out which part of their bodies he is satisfied with.

But from beginning to end, there was no mention of the person involved in the transaction, and the bones given away must come from the trader himself.

It might be possible to take a suitable bone from someone else.

Thinking of this, Sera began to get scared. She looked around and realized that everyone in the exhibition hall was an enemy.

She came to the art museum with her mother, and when the gray mist appeared, her mother disappeared.

No, she was the one who disappeared, so in this weird art museum, she had no relatives or friends to help her, she was alone.

She had to get out of here, the sooner the better.

Sera left here quickly while trying not to make any noise, and then she found that as she walked forward, three people followed her, two men and one woman, including the man who was observing her fingers with malicious intent.

Oh my God, someone come and save me.

Sera was about to cry, but she didn't dare to say anything, let alone point it out.

When facing a potential criminal, it is best not to do something stupid like pointing out his or her thoughts. This will cause the originally hesitant potential criminal to think, "I've been discovered anyway, so I might as well just do it."

Especially now, when there are enemies all around.

She has ten fingers, and if one finger can seal the deal...she can 'save' ten people.

Even if one hand is used to make the deal, she has two hands.

A hand for a life sounds like a worthwhile sacrifice.

But Serra is not the Virgin Mary, she can't do it. Moreover, if those people really cut off her hands, would they give her a chance to escape and tell others about the crime?

She will definitely die, but she doesn’t want to die yet.

The comment section below the live split screen of Serra's exhibition hall.

[The chance of exchanging it for a bone doesn't sound bad? 】

[It's a shame, especially the one who had to hand over the skull, he was sentenced to death. 】

[This woman is very lucky. All she needs is a hand. It’s just that Carrett didn’t specify whether it was a finger or the whole palm.]

[It should be the whole palm, which is easier to make into a specimen. ]

[What is your occupation? Your comments are a bit scary.]

[Taxibester. Don't worry, I only deal with the bodies of animals and insects, and make them into specimens. Humans are not included.]

【If you include it, you’re done. 】

【Some jobs are for people.】

【true and false?】

[Yes, for example, if you want to donate your body and make it into specimens for medical research, it needs some processing. Although this profession is a bit scary, it does exist.]

【Every business needs someone to do it. 】

[This industry generally pays very high wages.]

[But it also requires a lot of heart, which most people in this world can't do. 】

[The topic has changed, huh? Her face looks a little weird, like she's scared?]

【Who wouldn’t be scared to be dragged into a strange world?】

[No, I mean, she is more afraid of the people in the same exhibition hall than the painting.]

[Why? Can people be scarier than weird people? ]

[Wait, the half-bone boy just said that he can send the person away as long as he is satisfied with the trade item. ]

【right.】

【But he didn't say that you have to provide your own bones. 】

【……】

[Oh my god, that's right! ! ]

[So, if a hand can guarantee return, and the owner of the hand is a single woman, she will become the target? ]

[Compared to the ulna, scapula and spine, which are not easy to remove and some of which are not clearly located, hand bones are the first choice. 】

【How cruel.】

[This is how the world works. As long as you survive, you don’t care what others do. 】

[If you want to survive, hand over your bones. Why are you staring at others? ]

【Natural selection, the fittest survive. 】

【Pooh!】

The comment section was abuzz with arguments, with a group of netizens from all over the world, each with different values, gathered on the same platform and argued with each other.

Then one comment caught everyone's attention.

【In the previous live broadcast of Neon Country, it was allowed to "treat" when eating in the restaurant. Here, it is not mentioned that the bones must be provided by oneself. Will all future weird things be like this, as long as you pay a satisfactory tribute, it doesn't matter how the tribute comes from. After that month, in addition to guarding against weird things, do you also have to guard against others using them as sacrifices?】

【……ah.】

[Sure enough, the world will become increasingly difficult in the future. ]

【A crisis of trust.】

[In the face of life and death, many bottom lines can be lowered again and again. ]

【Be careful. 】

[So I said, hot weapons are necessary, right? 】

[Private ownership is not allowed here, so you can only buy some things that can protect yourself. ]

[In our country, you can get it as long as you take a certificate. I will take the test now! ]

[As long as we pray to the gods, they will protect us. ]

【I trust myself more than God. 】

[There is also the 'old man' and a box of 'peanuts' in my hand. ]

Kailett had no idea what happened between Sera and the others in the exhibition hall after he left. It was not his job to be in control of the overall situation.

Today, he just came to show up and unlock some skills.

Just now, he unlocked Kairet's first skill.

"Ding! Unlock the first ability - Immortality."

"Immortality - as a monster with half of your body turned into a skeleton, you have no heart or other internal organs, and you have lost your nerves and immune system. You are not a living person. Since you are not alive, how can you die? There is nothing in this world that can kill you, not even fire. You are invulnerable to swords and guns, immune to fire, and the sea cannot kill you because you don't need to breathe."

This ability is incredible.

The ability to never die also means that Qingtong as the original body will never die.

With the system, as long as there is a vest in existence, Qingtong will not disappear. The system said that when the mall is opened, as long as the points are enough, even if Qingtong's body is reduced to ashes, he can immediately create a new one.

But other than saving his life, it cannot increase Kairet's combat power.

You still have to continue to brush up the fusion degree.

Kailett continued walking forward and saw a staircase leading downstairs, so he walked down.

As soon as I got to the first floor, a girl in a miniskirt ran out from the corner. It was Liz.

Liz almost bumped into Carrett, but Carrett used her knuckles to touch her forehead, preventing her from getting hit.

Liz was startled and subconsciously wanted to say sorry, but what she saw was Kairet's white jawbone. Liz's eyes widened, she took a deep breath, slowly took two steps back, and then ran away again.

Then he tripped and fell to the ground.

Kailett, who stretched out his legs to knock the man down, smiled maliciously: "Why are you panicking? I don't eat humans."

Hearing the word "cannibalism", Liz became even more terrified. She tried to crawl forward two steps and tried to stand up. Just at this time, Amos and the other two came here. They saw Liz lying on the ground and saw Kailett.

Amos immediately recognized the young man as the one he had seen in the painting before. He glanced at Liz and wanted to help but didn't dare to get close. He was stuck there. Finally, he made up his mind, rushed forward, pulled Liz up and dragged her away from Carey.

"Very brave," Carret praised. "You wanted to run away before, but gave up."

He could speak? Amos' eyes widened.

Hierophant was even more excited than Amos: "Being able to speak means being able to communicate. You know, in movies this usually means being a guide who delivers messages and shows the protagonists the way. Of course, there are also some movies where the ending reveals that he is the biggest boss behind the scenes. Everything is..."

"Shut up!" Willis whispered.

Hirford shrugged and made a zipper-sliding motion across his mouth to indicate that he was shutting up.

Carey's eyes had been fixed on Hierophant since he started to speak excitedly: "You..."

Hierophant immediately looked at Carrett with a look of eagerness, as if he was listening attentively.

"You don't have any good bones." Kailett shook his head with a look of regret. "You are short, your nutrition is unbalanced, your bone density is too low, and your shape is not beautiful. It's too bad that there is not a single bone worth collecting in your body."

Hilf: ...

Should he cry or say thank you for such an evaluation?
