Chapter 129 The Goddess in the Painting

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Fang Shuwan blushed and lowered her head, looking at a loss.

Xu Nian didn't know what to say. After all, it was the right of others to hang pictures in their own homes. What could he say?

So he had to change the subject and said, "Is Xiaoqi's room still the same? Take me in and take a look!"

"Okay!"

Fang Shuwan hurriedly led the way and ran to a bedroom and opened the door to hide her shyness.

Fang Shuwan's home is not big, about 80 square meters, with two bedrooms and a living room. Xiaoqi's room is the second bedroom. The overall decoration style is very simple, just white walls, beds, tables and some posters drawn by Xiaoqi himself.

Speaking of Xiaoqi's painting level, perhaps he inherited his father Zhou Yun's painting talent, which is quite amazing. He was only in the second grade of elementary school and his paintings were vivid, such as the "limb extension" Gerick, "blasphemous king" Lakad, "star-breaking general" Latan, etc., which were hung on the wall. They were exactly the same as in the game.

Speaking of games, it was a stand-alone game that Xu Nian often played when he was bored. He found it when he was sorting out his father-in-law's relics. There was also a worn-out game console, which was said to be items before the disaster. However, perhaps because it was too long ago, the hardware was basically aging when he first found it. He had to find someone to repair and replace parts before he knew it was a game console.

Speaking of which, this game is really addictive. At first, he often played it with a computer in the store, and then was discovered by Xiaoqi who came to the store. From then on, it became Xiaoqi's exclusive game.

Of course, because of this, Fang Shuwan often came to visit him.

"Well, Shuwan, you go out first. I need a quiet space for my investigation."

Xu Nian carefully observed the surroundings and made sure that there was no abnormality. Then he frowned and said to Fang Shuwan.

Fang Shuwan was stunned at first, then went out and closed the door, with an expression of great trust in Xu Nian.

After Fang Shuwan left, Xu Nian frowned even more tightly. After thinking about it, he took off the soul-guiding lamp on his waist and used the ability to gather spirits again.

Fortunately, there was no gathering of spirits here. In other words, Zhou Qi was not in danger of death, at least it didn't happen here.

But here comes the problem. Fang Shuwan is very sure that her son has not left the room. There is a burglar-proof window outside the window. How did that person disappear?

Xu Nian thought about it and walked to the table. All kinds of academic books were neatly arranged, and even the pencil sharpener was neatly placed in the upper left corner of the box.

It's too abnormal!

Although he knew that Xiaoqi was a child who loved cleanliness and tidiness, he didn't put the pencil sharpener neatly in the box.

"Someone else has entered this room!"

Xu Nian immediately made a judgment in his heart.

Thinking of this, he was even more confused.

If someone could avoid Fang Shuwan and enter this "secret room" with only one exit, it would be unless Fang Shuwan was asleep or not at home, but Fang Shuwan was very sure that she had been in the living room. How did that person get in?

Why did she come to find Zhou Qi?

Where was Zhou Qi taken and how was he taken out?

Xu Nian had many questions in his mind. After all, there were too many doubts here, and he had no clue at all.

After thinking about it, he called Zuo Qiuyue, but the phone was turned off.

He was stunned for a moment, feeling very strange, so he called Feng Bujue.

"Xu Nian, why did you think of calling me? Don't you want to help again? Is it because of the things? Don't worry, I will send the things I promised to give you in two days."

Feng Bujue's pretended calm voice sounded on the phone.

Xu Nian curled his lips and frowned: "Deputy Minister Feng, I called to ask you, can you help me get a surveillance?"

"Surveillance?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned, and then said with some laughter: "For such a small matter, you can contact your assistant officer, do you need to find me?"

"Her phone is turned off, I can't contact her!"

"What!?"

Feng Bujue's tone became solemn: "Xu Nian, I'm afraid something is not right. According to the regulations of the hospital, no matter what happens, an assistant officer must ensure smooth contact with the pioneers he is responsible for. If her phone is turned off, it is definitely not normal."

"Well, wait a moment, I'll ask someone to check and contact you later."

As he said, the phone was hung up without waiting for Xu Nian to reply.

Xu Nian frowned even more tightly and called Zuo Qiuyue again. The familiar machine voice "The phone you dialed is turned off" was still heard.

Since he had to wait for Feng Bujue's call, he continued to look around the room and opened the cabinets one by one to check.

As a result, he only found a strange unfinished painting.

Since Xu Nian had also played with the old man's ring, he recognized at a glance that the unfinished painting was of the "Goddess of Corruption" Malenia.

The long curved prosthetic knife was too eye-catching.

The painting was two-thirds complete, and the character's armor, weapons, and image were portrayed vividly, but Xu Nian felt inexplicably uncomfortable, as if something was wrong.

So he looked at it carefully several times, but still didn't notice anything unusual.

Until the phone rang again.

Xu Nian put down the painting and answered the phone.

"Xu Nian, I asked someone for you, and they said that Zuo Qiuyue went to Minglun Street where you were a few hours ago to find you, and then the positioning signal disappeared."

"Disappeared?"

Xu Nian frowned. This is not the same as turning off the phone normally.

Their phones are specially made by the hospital. They can be located even if they are turned off. Now they disappear directly. I am afraid something has happened.

"Xu Nian, I asked the people in the city defense army. Zuo Qiuyue suddenly received a call and rushed to find you. Who made the call? Because it involves the secrets of the pioneers, I am applying for a report. You have to wait for me for five minutes!"

"Okay!"

Xu Nian felt that this matter was not that simple. After hanging up the phone, he subconsciously looked at the unfinished painting on the table and was stunned.

Then, he broke out in a cold sweat.

If he remembered correctly, the "corruption goddess" Marenia in the painting should have held the knife with her left hand just now, but now she has changed to her right hand.

"Wait, right hand!?"

His mind was shocked, and he suddenly understood what he felt was wrong just now.

That's right!

It was the hand holding the knife!

In the game, the "Goddess of Corruption" Marlenia holds the knife with her right hand, but what he saw just now was her left hand.

And now, as if she had discovered something wrong, the "Goddess of Corruption" Marlenia in the painting changed her hand again.

Hiss!

Xu Nian took a breath, and his right hand unconsciously reached into his pocket and touched his rattle, then he took three steps back without making a sound.

At this moment, his eyes became sharp, and he took out the rattle fiercely, shouted "One solution", and then held the black giant sword and slashed at the painting on the table.
