Chapter 561 "Moonlight Night on the Dnieper River"

The trajectory soon took another sharp turn.

After Fan Ning climbed to the narrow "knife ridge" area on the top of the mountain, he followed the narrow stretch of ice and frozen soil and shot towards the gray-white stone tower in front.

Here, the temperature has dropped to a bone-chilling level, the initial storm has turned into heavy snow, and dark gray light and shadow are constantly cutting the points, lines and surfaces in the space.

In the last few seconds it took to arrive at the door of the "Lighthouse", Fan Ning had a moment to move to his left side - beyond the mountains, or perhaps to the border on the other side of the B-105. In the direction outside—a lightning-fast glance.

There was nothing that caught his attention below the cliff. It was a meaningless collection of chaotic pixels. There was a large area that occupied the absolute majority of the field of vision, like standing on the coastline and looking at the sea.

But in the distance as far as the eye could see, Fan Ning vaguely caught a glimpse of a large mass of indescribable and unsettling red matter.

"Over there. Deeper than B-105."

"Is it the X coordinate, the unknown source of diffusion in the abnormal area???"

"What the hell is that?"

The distance was too far, his consciousness was blurred, and the dangerous elements were chasing after him. The details that Fan Ning could identify were really limited. He probably thought it might be a pile of ruins, a pile of broken limbs, a dangerous building, or a pile of The collapsed words or notes squeezed together do not look like clear living things in any case, but they occupy all the places from the sky to the earth, from left to right, too uncoordinatedly, but they are still so far apart, and they appear so so. It was blurry and crowded, making his mind feel extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, this is not an issue that can be considered carefully now.

"Bang!!"

After a few breaths, Fan Ning stepped on the barbed wire and hit the base of the lighthouse like a cannonball, splashing a large amount of ice and gravel.

The base is very wide, but the narrow, cracked gray-white stone door can only allow two people to pass through side by side.

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly, a female voice that sounded like an auditory hallucination sounded inside his head.

The person pursuing behind him had strange methods and unpredictable motives. Fan Ning acquiesced that the sound was an illusion created by him, and he obviously would not be slowed down by any interference.

He jumped directly from the barbed wire fence, walked through the door without any hesitation, and disappeared.

The interior of the lighthouse was filled with the smell of decaying mold and dust. The "hall" on the first floor was empty, and the floor cracked in radial patterns, revealing the gray, white, and yellow frozen soil inside.

Generally speaking, it is very dim. The so-called "light" of the "lighthouse" should be at the top, which is quite far away from here and cannot be illuminated.

Fan Ning vaguely saw that there seemed to be a road on the left, and the right seemed to lead to a more open place.

It was a bit difficult to choose, and there was no time to weigh the choice, but Fan Ning saw another upward stone step in front of him.

"Deng deng deng"

Perhaps because according to common sense, the "lighthouse" should go "upwards", Fan Ning rushed up the steps without thinking.

But when he quickly twisted his body and rushed to the upper floor in three steps and two steps at a time, he suddenly realized a problem -

"Why is the layout of this lighthouse the same as the Turner Museum of Art?"

Isn’t this the original “L” shaped overlooking layout of the Turner Museum of Art?
The left hand side of the first floor used to lead to the mobile exhibition hall rented by freelance artists, and the right hand side led to the auction house; the left hand side of the second floor led to Vincent's permanent exhibition hall, and the right hand side led to the living area and studio.
So far, it has been confirmed that the existence of the "Lighthouse" is indeed related to the "crisis collaborator" that Vincent agreed at the time. However, it is very strange that a mysterious building located deep in the abnormal zone has the same layout as the Turner Art Museum. , it can also be considered that after Vincent went out later, his ideas for designing the art museum were subconsciously influenced by this experience.
Fan Ning, who ran up to the second floor, still quickly glanced left and right, and what he imagined in his mind was the former "living area" and "mobile exhibition hall". He recalled the dream at the beginning of time travel and the experience of visiting the art museum for the first time.

".The end of the corridor?"

".A dream about the rare objects on both sides of the museum corridor?"

"No, hurry up." The dangerous breath interrupted Fan Ning's divergent thinking.

Because he felt that someone was already standing at the doorway directly below, and he was about to catch up with him.

Turn left again and escape towards the "Mobile Exhibition Hall" area!
Run all the way.

The long, dark corridor was like a tunnel leading to the abyss as before, but this time there was no lantern or tallow candle in his hand.

There was a chill on my forehead and hair.

It appears to be a block of snow.

Snowing?
Is it snowing inside the lighthouse?
Suddenly, there was a violent shaking under the feet, and the snow and clay fell rustlingly.

"Isn't this building about to collapse?"

Fan Ning couldn't help but look up.

"From the outside, the lighthouse looks towering into the clouds. I have only reached the second floor. If it is going to collapse soon."

Generally speaking, for a building with upper and lower structures, Fan Ning always feels that the most important things should be placed at the top.

But Fan Ning still didn't dare to slow down even a moment, tapping his toes in the wind, and at the same time, with the blessing of invisible force, he pushed his figure forward like a bullet.

Because he still has some confidence in the future.

The "end of the corridor" of the Turner Museum was once the place where Vincent placed the fragments of the audio series. So, is it possible that a "theme of God" is buried in a similar location now?
"You work very efficiently. It seems that the 'God's Theme' is in this direction?"

Suddenly Mr. F's voice sounded from the front.

After that, Fan Ning's newly brewed confidence was shattered, and his mood sank to the bottom.

The pale pale light overflowed from the front inch by inch.

Wearing a high-collared white shirt, a plaid tie, and a pure black suit, his face was dimly facing him. He vaguely looked to be in his 30s, with short black hair that looked like a cloud, and a wide and raised beard on both sides of his lips.

It is the image of Mr. F that I saw at the front desk of the weird art museum in the town of "Hidden Light"!
As the pale halo gradually erodes the darkness of the corridor, some things become clearer.

"Ok?"

The next moment, Mr. F's brows frowned deeper than Fan Ning's.

This person caught up with Fan Ning, but ignored Fan Ning, turned around and continued to pace forward.

Fan Ning himself looked at the things hanging on the walls on both sides with confusion.

The dark green moon shines through the clouds, illuminating the outline of the dark river bed, and the river water sparkles with light.

In his previous life, the Russian artist Ku Yinzhi's "Moonlight on the Dnieper River" was hung at the "End of the Corridor" in the Turner Museum of Art. It was used by Vincent together with his "Twilight on the Mountain Top and the Wall" The one that metaphorically describes "sunset and moonrise".

Now, it's hanging everywhere.

Both sides of the corridor are filled with the same "Moonlight Night on the Dnieper River", which continues to extend deeper.
