The same applies to these works.
One can’t help but imagine what kind of tragedy these girls, who should have been so bright and shining, have experienced to become like this.
How glorious they were in the past.
The withered flowers are the most beautiful flowers in bloom...
no...
Can't be polluted by this kind of thing.
Ye Shi shook his head, trying to calm himself down.
Author: Florence Maria
All the works were actually made by Miss Maria herself. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.
It's really chilling that beneath that calm appearance, there is such a wild hobby hidden.
"fine..."
Ye Shi observed these artworks closely and found that these lifelike girls were made of materials similar to the human body.
These works of art are so similar to real people. Fortunately, Miss Maria has not taken that step and hurt innocent people.
...
and many more...
"It's enough for her to stay the way she is now. Just like a withered petal, it will slowly fall off and rot over time."
what..
Suddenly, Ye Shi recalled what Maria had said, and his pupils contracted violently.
Could it be that...
Is "Zero" actually also her artwork?
That way, everything makes sense.
There is such a possibility...
Zero is actually a discarded child abandoned by the Demon King, but Miss Maria chose to take her in and let her continue to look like this, becoming...
A living work of art.
Gradually, Ye Si felt a chill on his spine, and the blood in his body seemed to be flowing backwards.
Although, she had encountered such things many times during the war and had seen the bloodiest scenes.
However, she never expected that in this peaceful era, in such a quiet city, she would encounter such a thing, and it happened right next to her.
"evidence..."
Ye Shi took out his cell phone, turned on the camera, and carefully captured the scene in front of him.
..
"Click, click."
In the corner of the art exhibition, Ye Shi seemed to have discovered a unique work.
"demon"
This is the name of the work.
Most of the works are single works, but this group of works is a series, with a total of five pictures. The technique is more immature than the others, and it seems to be an early work.
If the order is from left to right, the first work is...
"genius"
Countless pairs of hands appeared out of thin air, caressing the face of the faceless girl and placing flowers on her head.
The second one... "Friends"
In the warm-toned space, the girl held her heart in her hands and handed it forward, ready to give it to someone.
The third one... "Falling"
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the girl with broken wings curled up on the ground, bruised and battered, her tears filling the silver trophy.
The fourth... "burning"
In a ravine full of flowers, the puppets were playing happily, and the girl was burning silently with a strange smile on her face.
The fifth... "Devil"
With her jet-black wings spread out, the girl sat at the table, showing an intriguing smile, holding a knife and fork in her hand, ready to taste the gorgeous flowers on the plate.
Ye Shi didn’t quite understand what the paintings were trying to express, but the girl in the last portrait made her feel vaguely familiar.
The filming was completed quickly, but...
Ye Shi wasn't quite sure whether such a photo could be used to threaten Miss Maria.
After all, the other party is from the Demon King's forces. Even if these contents are made public, they will soon be suppressed and forgotten by the public.
Besides, if it was really as she guessed...
Then, Zero, who was abandoned by the Demon King, should have disappeared from this world long ago, but it was Miss Maria who allowed her to survive.
but...
Is this kind of life confined in a birdcage really considered "living"?
Ye Shi didn't know the answer.
Perhaps more evidence is needed.
Ye Si looked down at the phone screen, a complicated look in his red eyes. After taking a deep breath, he silently made a choice.
Go ahead... investigate further.
Although it is very dangerous, Zero's physical condition can no longer be delayed. Besides, in this place, perhaps clues related to the Demon King can be found. If the tracker is discovered, there will be no chance.
"..."
Ye Shi calmed down, blended back into the shadows, and continued to investigate clues.
However, things did not go smoothly afterwards.
She searched the building inside and out for a long time but found no more useful clues. Most of the rooms were empty and there was no sign of use.
Even when Ye Si opened the last room, he found that it was still empty and there was no one in sight.
So strange..
During this period of time, no one left. Ye Shi came here according to the location, so it is impossible that he didn't even see Miss Maria.
Then, there is only one possibility left.
Sniff
Ye Shi took out a pitch-black feather, put it to his nose and sniffed it, and a clear smell path appeared in his field of vision.
This is the feather that Miss Maria dropped in the library. It was indeed the right choice to take it with her. People with hair loss are easily tracked by scent.
Ye Shi followed the smell and entered a room.
The room was cluttered with miscellaneous items, including several unfinished dolls and a pile of torn portraits.
Ye Shi closed his eyes and wanted to continue following the smell, but found that the smell stopped here.
Miss Maria couldn't have disappeared out of thin air, the clue must be somewhere in the room.
"This is..."
Just then, Ye Shi noticed something strange. The index finger of one of the dolls was obviously different in color from the other fingers, and showed signs of wear and discoloration.
Could it be that...
With a trial mentality, she gently moved her index finger, and then...
「Click」
The floor moved.
The wooden floor beside me suddenly became loose. Upon closer inspection, I found that wind was flowing through the gaps. This was the secret door leading to the basement.
As expected of an artist with superb skills, the entrance to the tunnel is made so secretive.
The passage leading to the basement is dark and narrow, and there seems to be a foul smell in the air. When you think about the dolls in the house that are very similar to human bodies, you will feel extremely uncomfortable.
At the deepest part of the road is an iron gate.
The cool wind blew through the gaps in the iron gate, like an ice knife cutting across the skin, making people shudder.
...
Could this be a human testing site?
A bad guess came to mind again.
Ye Shi had also encountered this kind of disgusting situation during the war. She didn't want to encounter it again. At that time, she couldn't eat for a whole month and became much thinner due to hunger.
However, there is another possibility for this place, which is...
The devil's residence.
Living in such a secluded place is not like Miss Maria's style.
She is a government official who is responsible for showing up in public and handling affairs. There is no need for her to hide things so deeply.
In this case, the devil who has hidden his identity until now is most likely hiding in this place, silently plotting his conspiracy.
"..."
After a brief hesitation, Ye Shi placed one hand in the air, ready to transform and fight the demon king at any time, and placed the other hand on the iron gate.
Boom...
The iron gate was unexpectedly loose and was pushed open without much effort.
As the gap in the door gradually widened, the view inside the basement came into view.
..
..
..
this..
As if petrified, Ye Shi stood there in a daze.
After opening the door, the first thing that catches your eye is a portrait.
This is a huge portrait in a gold frame inlaid with pearls and gems. It depicts a young woman with a moving beauty.
This is Miss Maria's room, but the person painted above is not Miss Maria herself.
Moreover, it is most likely not the Demon King.
Because Ye Si knew her, having just met her this morning.
This is an oil painting. An eighteen-year-old girl is sitting sideways with her hands naturally placed on her waist. Her deep eyes are staring at this side, and the expression on her face that seems to be smiling reveals an unfathomable mystery.
"Mona Lisa"
Unexpectedly, in the demon world, someone also created a similarly classic work.
And this model is actually...
..
..
..
"Mr. Suehana..."
Beads of sweat hung on Ye Si's face. He never expected to see this face here again.
I've seen it too many times in recent days.
