The devil affectionately calls me a bad guy

"How should I put it? The quality is impeccable. It is an extremely excellent work that can be hung in an art exhibition. It's just that most people today... can't understand such art."

Li Lin's eyes were blurred, and his fingers rubbed back and forth on the painting in his hand. More fragments of paint peeled off from the painting, and the soft smile of Mona Lisa disappeared.

"Hey——" Lu Qin floated back, her face ashen.

Li Lin's expression was very strange now, as if someone was using Li Lin's body to transmit knowledge that she was absolutely not allowed to access to.

“Do you really think this is art?”

If the painting wasn't so creepy, Lu Qin would have wanted to reach out and touch Li Lin's forehead to confirm whether Li Lin's brain was burned out.

"From the composition to the coloring, they are all high-quality artists," Li Lin blinked and gestured with his fingers at the painting in his hand. "From the perspective of artistic level alone, it is far better than Van Gogh's Sunflowers."

"But I would rather choose Van Gogh's Sunflowers!" Lu Qin grabbed her hair tightly.

If Van Gogh's Sunflowers only made her feel meaningless, then Hua Tiantian's painting made her scalp tingle, because she could really feel something from this painting, and she was sure that the feeling was definitely not a good one.

"So Hua Tiantian painted another layer on top of the painting."

Li Lin put the painting back on the easel, took a few steps back, folded his arms across his chest, and nodded with satisfaction.

He painted what he wanted to paint, but he knew that what the painting conveyed was too horrifying and not something the teachers could accept, so he reluctantly painted it again, and it became an excellent work that people today can just glance over. Perhaps it was Hua Tiantian's unwillingness that caused the quality of the paint used for the second painting to be not very good, so it did not replace the original painting, but just covered it with a layer.

Now that he scraped it like that, all of it fell off.

Would the teachers be shocked when they came in and saw such a painting?

After thinking for a while, Li Lin turned the easel to face the only entrance of the art classroom, so that the next time someone came in, they would be able to see this shocking work that was not acceptable to modern ethics at first sight.

Of course there was. He had already peeled off the painting and it was impossible to restore it. Instead of worrying about his little damage being discovered by the teacher, it would be better to show it to the other party openly. Maybe the other party would be deeply immersed in the indescribable art at the first sight and ignore the lack of an imitation of Mona Lisa's smile.

"So what does this have to do with Hua Tiantian's disappearance?" Lu Qin clasped her arms tightly.

She always felt that the case of Hua Tiantian's disappearance was very complicated and she couldn't grasp it, but she had already lost the chance to escape.

Chapter 214 These buffs are enough to be a boss

"Relationship or something..."

Li Lin leaned back with his hands around his chest. After maintaining this position for five minutes, Li Lin confirmed that his waist was not as good as he thought.

"For example, your art can never be accepted by the people around you, and you have to succumb to reality and have to paint over and over again those ordinary works that don't require any thought and can be skipped at a glance on the paintings you are satisfied with, and finally you can't bear it anymore and commit suicide?"

Lu Qin frowned. Logically speaking, that was indeed possible. After all, artists were so confident that they could be said to be conceited. Without such confidence, they could not become artists and could only become emotionless copying machines, unable to make further breakthroughs. Although Hua Tiantian's paintings made her feel creepy, she had to admit that there was effort and seriousness in them that could be seen at a glance.

Having to personally build another layer on top of one's own hard work should be more painful than death for those artists who are so confident and conceited. Then above that is the despair of [the paintings one has carefully drawn are not recognized, but the paintings one has casually imitated are highly praised].

Gradually I began to doubt my own abilities, and finally gave up on thinking and my own life.

But is it really that common?

Lu Qin couldn't help but have such doubts.

Is it really possible that Hua Tiantian, who is able to draw such stunning and unique paintings, would commit suicide due to such ordinary pressure and despair?

"You realized something, right?"

At some point, Li Lin stood in front of Lu Qin, his eyes flashing with a faint light almost touching Lu Qin's eyes. Lu Qin shuddered with fear and suddenly floated back, almost passing through the ceiling.

"Hey! What are you doing!?"

Lu Qin, who was frightened even though she was clearly the ghost, flushed and waved her fist at Li Lin in anger. However, Li Lin had already walked to the wall of the nearest art classroom with his hands behind his back, looking up and down at the refreshing forest drawing in front of him.

"I say, Hua Tiantian always draws what she wants to draw first, and then draws a new picture, right?"

"Maybe it's just that the painting is special," Lu Qin's mind once again reappeared the horrifying scene, and she subconsciously turned her face away.

"Maybe……"

Li Lin raised his hand and pressed lightly on the wall, slowly bending his fingers and sinking his nails into the paint bit by bit. He could clearly feel the sound of the paint, which was not of very good quality, breaking apart from his nails. Just like the painting, this refreshing forest was hiding something.

Li Lin grinned and raised his arm slightly. The next moment, he would swing his arm down and leave five irreparable cracks on the painting. The fragments of inferior paint would probably all accumulate in his nails, cutting the soft flesh under his nails. Under normal circumstances, he probably would not do that, but curiosity overwhelmed his reason.

During the day, Hua Tiantian would not have the chance to finish painting those terrifying paintings and then cover them with another layer. Only when the teaching building was locked and no one else was in it, would Hua Tiantian have the opportunity to paint on the wall. Moreover, Hua Tiantian could not turn on the lights, otherwise it would attract security guards or teachers who were wandering around the campus at night.

So he was really curious. In the darkness where he couldn't see anything, and surrounded by those covered-up horror paintings, what kind of expression did Hua Tiantian have when she picked up the paintbrush?

If he peeled off the painting made of inferior paint in front of him and peeked into the real painting created by Hua Tiantian, he would probably be able to guess a little about Hua Tiantian's expression.

But before Li Lin could cut through the wall, Lu Qin suddenly stretched out her right hand, and her wet black hair wrapped around Li Lin's limbs in circles, pulling Li Lin back.

"There's something wrong with you!" Lu Qin grabbed Li Lin's neck and stared at the wall with a vigilant look on her face.

Although Li Lin's actions were stopped, his nails still left some marks on the wall, and the pull just now brought a lot of paint residue. Although it was insignificant compared to the area of ​​the entire wall, it had already leaked out, and the ominous painting that was covered up was revealed.

Li Lin was stunned for a moment, then felt a wave of fear. His back felt sticky and his clothes seemed to be soaked with cold sweat.

The painting within the painting was drawn in pitch darkness. The person who drew it was already dead and his body has not been found to date.

With a few buffs, he is enough to be the boss of a horror movie.

The act of actively peeling off the painting was to give himself an instant death buff, and not only did he do it just now, he was also quite excited to peel off the painting.

This is exactly the behavior of a cannon fodder character seeking death in a horror movie!

"Ahem - that..." Li Lin raised his right hand weakly, "Thank you, I felt like something was wrong with me just now, and, sorry, my legs are a little weak."

Lu Qin's mouth twitched, and she didn't bother to complain [I'm a ghost who wants to kill you, you come to ask me to drag you out, is that really okay? ! ], and dragged Li Lin out with a sullen face, raising her hand to close the door of the art classroom. The moment the door closed, Lu Qin subconsciously raised her eyes and looked over.

Through the increasingly narrow gap in the door, the painting that was designed to give the person coming in a surprise was facing her. The woman with her mouth torn open by her clown-like makeup was looking at her with a smile.

Lu Qin felt a chill run down her spine and closed the door forcefully.

With the sound of the electronic door locking, Li Lin sat down on the ground and began to breathe heavily.

He had experienced many strange things, and he thought that the world had smoothed his edges for him. He had reached the level of being calm in doing things and being a person. Just like two days ago, he rinsed his mouth with blood and brushed his teeth with offal sauce without changing his expression, and forced the other guy in Lu Qin's body to retreat.

But this time he was serious and was not joking.

It was not some overwhelming horror scene, nor was there any terrifying thing that suddenly popped up. It was as if he was induced by something. He walked to the blocked art classroom, peeled off the painting by himself, and then walked to the wall and wanted to peel off the entire painting in front of him.

It was obvious that he had taken the initiative to do it from beginning to end, and he had done this many times before, but this time alone, he had a creepy feeling that something was driving him to uncover the "excellence" hidden beneath the standard of excellence, which was so shocking that people might not be able to accept it.

"Hey, classmate Lu Qin," Li Lin stood up with difficulty, holding on to the wall, "Hua Tiantian, it's in your body, right?"

"Is that the case?" Lu Qin's expression was also a little stiff.

"Why? She didn't react at all?"

Chapter 215: This Stone Statue is So Light

The remaining five female ghosts also had no reaction, because this matter had nothing to do with them, but Hua Tiantian was different, this was the place where she had stayed the longest in her lifetime, and this place was full of her paintings.

No matter how you think about it, there should be some reaction, but in every sense of the word, I feel absolutely no emotion at all.

It was like arriving in a completely unfamiliar place.

"Have you finished reading it?" Jiang Bo looked Li Lin up and down and threw the employee card back into the drawer.

"I've finished reading...yes, I've finished reading..." Li Lin's expression was stiff, and he recalled the art classroom that hid some extraordinary things under its calm appearance. If possible, he didn't want to go back a second time.

"Ah, right!"

Li Lin's heart skipped a beat. Jiang Bo's expression, as if he had just remembered something, gave him a very bad feeling. What was going to happen next was probably...

[Oh, actually before Hua Tiantian disappeared, she said she had a painting for you]

[I forgot to tell you, Hua Tiantian actually left a letter for you]

some type of.

"Actually, there was a message from Hua Tiantian in the art classroom," Jiang Bo scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "It was because of this that we completely confirmed the relationship between you two, but I forgot about it just now. I'm really sorry..."

Sure enough, it came!

Li Lin couldn't help but hold his forehead. If possible, he hoped that Jiang Bo would never remember it. If he moved Hua Tiantian's paintings back home, he would definitely have nightmares at night.

"That statue, the one near the window, you should have seen it, it is the last work left by Hua Tiantian. According to the message Hua Tiantian left before she disappeared, it was left for you, but before that, cough cough cough, for various reasons," Jiang Bo's smile became awkward, and he did not elaborate on the various reasons.

However, Li Lin also had some reasons for that. After all, the level of detail of the statue was totally unlike what a college student should have. If Hua Tiantian was a famous artist, the statue would have been exhibited everywhere by now. Unfortunately, she was not, but it could still be used to show off.

Of course, the school had no intention of taking the statue for itself, it was just...

Since you didn't come to ask for it, we'll just leave it here for now.

"I swear, at least today I won't want to come back a second time."

Li Lin covered his face with his left hand, raised his right hand holding the employee card, and swiped the electronic lock with a beep.

"Then you can ask the school to mail the statue back," Lu Qin rubbed her arms uncomfortably. Even as a female ghost, she didn't want to go near this art classroom again.

"Well, those paintings are covered with a layer of normal painting, right?" Li Lin pinched his nose and did not push open the electronic door immediately.

"Yes—"

Lu Qin nodded subconsciously, then immediately took a breath of cold air, her pupils trembling wildly, and she thought of a very scary possibility.

Hua Tiantian is a very eccentric person. She has a unique and creepy artistic cell, but she is well aware that most people may not be able to accept such art, so she will add another layer to her work after she has displayed her talent in a chic manner.

That statue was also the work of Hua Tiantian. Before she disappeared, she specifically asked for it to be given to Li Lin. From the outside, it looks surprisingly normal.

So, could this normal work be the shell of some creepy work?

"Gu--I, let's go back first--" Lu Qin turned her face away with a stiff expression, "Everything has to have an order. You, you should finish my business first."

"I don't want to come here a second time," Li Lin gritted his teeth and pushed the door open.

Even though he had been prepared, Li Lin couldn't help but bend over with his hands covering his heart the moment he saw the painting of Mona Lisa smiling happily.

It was obviously used to cheat others, but it cheated itself first.

Li Lin took several deep breaths and then walked around the statue of Mona Lisa, who was smiling happily, and came to the statue left for him by Hua Tiantian.

Perhaps because of his change in mood, the more he looked at the statue now, the more his scalp tingled. Before, he was in the mood to reach out and touch it, but now he didn't even dare to touch it, for fear that he would accidentally touch a piece and see something he shouldn't see.

"What do you think is in there?" Lu Qin floated behind Li Lin and complained, "It can't be that kind of octopus man."

Li Lin's mouth twitched fiercely, and now he didn't want to touch the statue even more.

"Instead of guessing what's inside this statue, I think we should think about where Hua Tiantian died."

“Could it be inside this statue?”

After saying that, Lu Qin immediately covered her mouth, and Li Lin also completely froze in place. The well-lit, sunny art classroom fell into an eerie silence. The warm sunlight sprinkled on his body, but Li Lin subconsciously rubbed his arms, feeling a little cold.

Come to think of it, this kind of development seems to be quite common in horror movies, where people are built into walls or made into statues.

Lu Qin floated back little by little, her face ashen as she moved away from the statue.

"No matter what, it's impossible," Li Lin smiled awkwardly and pulled the cart beside him. "For example, if Hua Tiantian is inside this statue, then who carved this statue? It must be confirmed that this statue was made by Hua Tiantian, so this statue was placed here!"

Although that is what I said...

"If it's a pure statue, it should be very heavy, right?" Lu Qin's eyes twitched wildly, and the ominous premonition was becoming stronger and stronger.

The statue was indeed made by Hua Tiantian. It is impossible for a person to bury himself in a stone statue and complete the sculpture at the same time, and Jiang Bo also said so.

[That night, Hua Tiantian said she wanted to stay in the art classroom to finish her sculpture. The next day, only the finished sculpture was left.]

Hua Tiantian was the only one left in the art classroom that night, so even if they couldn't find Hua Tiantian's whereabouts and called the police, they would suspect that Hua Tiantian disappeared after leaving the art classroom at night. In fact, they didn't find any clues in the art classroom.

So this is just a statue, a solid one, there is no way there is a statue of a person hidden inside!

"I know! This statue must be ridiculously heavy!"

Li Lin took a deep breath, got into a horse stance, stretched out his hands, pressed them on the statue's waist, and hugged it upward with force.

Li Lin only felt a void in front of him, and his body tilted backwards due to inertia.

This statue is very heavy. It is heavy to be sure, but that is not the weight that a solid statue should have.

The wet hair was entangled in circles around Li Lin's body as he leaned back.

Lu Qin's face turned pale.

She would hold her stomach and laugh when Li Lin fell, but if the price was a corpse falling out of the statue, then forget it.

Chapter 216: I didn’t kill anyone, at most I just transported the corpse!

My expression right now is probably no different from that of a murderer who kills someone and hides a body.

Li Lin pushed the cart with a stiff expression. On the cart were statues packed with foam boards and cartons. Although it was summer vacation, there were still people in the school. On the way to the bus, he received suspicious looks all the way. He even saw someone secretly recording a video.
