Chapter 16 An Encounter at the Medieval Art Museum
"Mr. Qin?"

"Mr. Qin? What's the matter with you?"

Yutian Kazuo looked at Qin Zhibo who suddenly froze, and asked with concern.

After Qin Zhibo was stunned for two seconds, he forced a smile and replied: "No, it's nothing."

"Mr. Yutian, then I will take a step first."

"See you."

"By the way! I'll wait for you in the library warehouse after the library is closed on Tuesday."

"no problem."

After bidding farewell to Yutian Kazuo, Qin Zhibo opened the map in his field of vision, set the target location as the Medieval Art Museum, and then quickly rushed to the destination according to the route marked above.

The previous two main missions had a one-hour time limit, and Qin Zhibo tried his best to complete the missions.

But this time there are 24 hours. Of course, Qin Zhibo hopes to complete the task quickly so that he can get a better rating reward.

As for supernatural events, Qin Zhibo, with a will of 90, doesn't care.

But when he arrived at the entrance of the China World Art Museum, Qin Zhibo still missed the opening hours, and the art museum had already closed.

You still dare not trespass in a facility like an art gallery, and you can only enter it after it opens tomorrow.

It seems that the task time limit given by the system is not free, 24 hours is almost the entire business hours of the art museum tomorrow.

Back at the office, Qin Zhibo turned on the computer to search for supernatural events about the Zhongshi Art Museum.

However, the wise saying "find Du Niang if you have any problems" is not very useful in this era, and there is no topic discussion page about the supernatural events in the China World Art Museum on the Internet.

The only thing on the Internet related to the Medieval Art Museum is an advertisement page for a hotel.

It said that a certain company will build a high-end hotel on the former site of the Medieval Art Museum, and it will break ground on X, X, X, X, X, and it will be completed in X, X, and officially opened in X.

Stay tuned!

Qin Zhibo looked at the time when the ground was broken, and it was less than a month away from now.

Qin Zhibo didn't know what this had to do with the supernatural event at the Zhongshi Art Museum, but he kept this information in his mind for the time being.

The next day.

As soon as the Zhongshi Art Museum opened, Qin Zhibo bought a ticket and entered as the first audience of the day.

"It's really rare. The audience came just after the door opened today."

As soon as Qin Zhibo stepped into the lobby of the art museum, an old man standing in the center of the hall spoke to Qin Zhibo.

This old man has exaggeratedly bushy white eyebrows and a white beard, and looks a bit like a Schnauzer.

Beside the old man's head, Qin Zhibo saw the following words floating.

Name: Ochiai Juzen

Sex: Male
Age: 67
Occupation: Museum curator
Social credit: 4500
Although he saw these words, Qin Zhibo still pretended not to know and asked, "Are you?"

"Ah, I am the curator of this art museum, my surname is Ochiai."

"During the decades of running this art museum, I would personally introduce the various exhibition halls of the art museum to the first visitor who enters the art museum every day."

"I hope you don't refuse."

Qin Zhibo nodded. He was originally here to investigate supernatural events, and it would be easier to ask about the situation with the curator by his side.

So under the leadership of curator Ochiai, Qin Zhibo browsed the three exhibition halls of the earth no room, the sky no room and the sea original room in turn.

To be honest, Qin Zhibo is not interested in these works of art.

And in Qin Zhibo's opinion, the level of this art museum is really not high.

Although it is an art gallery with the theme of the Middle Ages, the artworks displayed in each exhibition hall are not necessarily all related to the Middle Ages, and many of them are made up.

And the earth, the sky, the sea.
Why is the theme of the last exhibition hall Hell!

Shouldn't it be a forest?
Standing at the door of the Hell Exhibition Hall, Qin Zhibo, who had been patiently listening to Ochiai's curator's explanation of various artworks, finally couldn't help it, and asked what he wanted to know the most.

"Curator Ochiai, recently I heard that there are some supernatural events happening in your museum, such as the armor moving by itself"

"is this real?"

Hearing Qin Zhibo's question, curator Ochiai was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"Haha, you don't believe those are real, do you?"

"However, thanks to those rumors, there are indeed a lot more visitors to the museum recently."

Qin Zhibo felt that his IQ was being mocked.

At this moment, an employee named Kubota walked up to Director Ochiai and said, "Director, Mr. Manaka is here."

"Oh. I see."

Director Ochiai nodded, then turned to Qin Zhibo and said, "Sir, I have some things to do, so I won't accompany you in this last exhibition hall."

"It's okay, you can do it yourself."

Curator Ochiai followed Kubota out of the corridor leading to Hell's Room, and only Qin Zhibo walked into the exhibition hall alone.

Pushing the door and entering, the entire exhibition hall is particularly dim, with dots of lights dotted on each piece of black soul-style artwork.

Armor, armor, armor.
There are all kinds of armor displayed here. These armors are all standing on both sides of the passage holding a big sword and a broad ax in a human posture, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Coupled with the bright red carpet, it can give people the illusion of walking in the blood pool hell.

Even Qin Zhibo's will skipped a beat in this scene.

90, 89, 90
"really not bad."

"As a haunted house, it's really interesting."

Qin Zhibo nodded, admiring the innovation of this exhibition hall in hell.

And at the end of the passage, Qin Zhibo saw the treasure of the town hall in Hell's Room, a painting called "Heaven's Punishment".

The painting is not from the hands of a famous painter, and the scenes depicted on it are also bloody and strange.

An armored knight walks with his back in the lower left corner of the painting, while the upper right corner is almost blurred under dim lighting conditions, making it impossible to see clearly.

Out of curiosity, Qin Zhibo looked around for no one, quietly took out his nuclear lighter, and lit it in a safe range.

Under the dancing flames, a "demon" pierced through the body by a knight's sword appeared.

The shape of this demon is very strange and profane.

Its shape is like an ape, or an insect, and the skin of the body hangs down in pieces.

On the wrinkled head, there is no expression, but a pair of degenerated eyes are sunken, and on the two forelimbs of its body, there are huge claws that spread out.

What's even more strange is that not a single drop of blood flowed from the "devil"'s chest pierced by the knight's sword.

But on the knight's body, the bright silver armor was stained with splashed blood.

This painting, which seems to be the punishment of justice for evil, may contain some amazing malice.
Walk out of the Hell の Exhibition Hall and return to the central hall of the art museum.

The dim environment suddenly changed to a bright place, Qin Zhibo rubbed his slightly uncomfortable eyes.

When the vision in his eyes became clear, Qin Zhibo saw several familiar figures at the entrance of the main entrance.

Conan, who had just passed the ticket gate at the main entrance, also saw Qin Zhibo standing in the hall.

Forehead.
Why is it him again?
