Chapter 16 The Artist with Pica

Taoist robed youth: "Chen Wei, what a strange name. My name is Li Daoyi, and this is Police Officer An Ran. Since you have already seen ghosts, why don't you go see them again?"

"it is good."

This building must be cleaned up, but Li Daoyi is not at ease if only An Ran is left to guard Chen Guai.

Moreover, both Li Daoyi and An Ran felt that this person was too calm.It doesn't look like a cute newcomer at all, and it doesn't look like an ordinary person at all.

The No. 10 building where Chen Kuai lived was just a small high-rise, 10 floors high, and the top floor was a duplex, equivalent to 11 floors.

In the process of Li Daoyi's sweeping upwards, Chen Kuai knew that all the residents upstairs had suffered disasters, and all of them had become resentful souls.

At the same time, he also saw the strength of Li Daoyi, or he didn't know how to evaluate this person.Not only has he mastered many mysterious spells, he also seems to know Taoism, and he is also experienced in close combat.One person easily swept away all the resentful souls in this building.

After the sweeping of the building was finished, Li Daoyi looked at Chen Guai and said, "Chen Guai, how many independent units are there in your community like this?"

Chen Kuai shook his head: "I don't know, I just moved here for two months."

An Ran asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Dao took a look at Chen Kuai, and there was a hint of probing in his heart, so he said: "The conditions for the formation of resentful souls are relatively harsh. First, there must be an abnormal death, second, there must be resentment in the heart, and finally, there must be a gathering of Yin Qi. In today's matter, abnormal death is certain. But that shouldn't be resentment in everyone's heart! Obviously, something, or someone, magnified this resentment. At the same time, here It has to be a place where Yin Qi gathers to form so many resentful souls. But the wind and water here are mediocre, it can only be said that it has been changed because of the construction of the community."

Chen Kuai's heart skipped a beat, is this a profession?Just sweeping here once, I can see through the feng shui pattern here.

An Ran: "So? What does this have to do with how many independent apartment buildings there are?"

Li Dao glanced at Chen Guai, and said lazily in his voice: "It's an independent apartment building, and it's relatively flat. Do you think this looks like a tombstone?"

"Om~"

An Ran was trembling all over by Li Daoyi's words, even Chen Guai couldn't help but suddenly looked at Li Daoyi, this was the first time he heard such a scary statement.

But Chen Kui said: "This community has a history of 13 years. According to this, how can there be any living people here?"

I just heard Li Daoyi sneer: "Under normal circumstances, many people who live here will suffer from various diseases and even die suddenly. But if this evil place is deliberately sealed, then it will be no different from an ordinary community. And these tombstone-like buildings are most likely one of the eyes of the seal."

After finishing speaking, Li Daoyi took out his mobile phone, clicked on a group chat, and wrote: "The second terrorist incident in Tianhuo City, come quickly."

After sending this message, Li Dao said, "Brother Chen Kuai, how about going to your house for a while?"

"Okay, but can you open the handcuffs first?"

……

2 minute later.

Chen Guaijia, Li Daoyi and An Ran looked at this clean living room, which looked like the renderings, and couldn't help being a little surprised. Except for the necessary desks, chairs, coffee table, etc., there was almost nothing superfluous in the places visible to the naked eye.

Even the tea table where Chen Wei drank tea was quite tidy, so the hot water that was still burning on the tea table and the cup that Chen Wei drank tea from before were a bit conspicuous.

Li Daoyi couldn't help laughing and said, "Have tea early in the morning?"

Chen Kuai shrugged slightly: "Keep out the cold, calm down."

An Ran seemed to be still vigilant, so she said, "Is this a three-bedroom apartment? Are you renting three rooms by yourself?"

Chen Kuai said: "There is only one bedroom, the others are for daily needs."

"Mind if we take a look at the room?"

"Please."

It is impossible for anyone to completely trust Chen Guai's one-sided words, so An Ran didn't hide it, just wanted to see if there was any problem with Chen Guai's family.Seeing that Chen Guai agreed, she immediately walked towards Chen Guai's room.

"Oh, wait a minute!"

Just as Chen Kuai wanted to remind, he saw An Ran open the first room at hand.That was not the master bedroom, but Chen Wei's dance room and music room.

"Bang! Something."

I saw that An Ran suddenly kicked open the door, holding the gun with both hands, with a nervous expression on his face.

And Li Dao rushed to An Ran's side one after another, only to see, from the door, the whole room except for some musical instruments hanging on the wall and corners, in the center of the room, there was a skeleton standing there, with its head facing the door, The arm is like a waiter, making a gesture of inviting you in.

"Fuck, what is this?"

An Ran's voice was serious: "You still say you are a good person?"

Li Daoyi was also a little confused, and looked back at Chen Guai.And Chen Kui said: "This is just a skeleton model, and there are pillars behind him to support it. It's a 500 yuan high imitation, and you can still bargain."

Li Dao raised his hand and grabbed his compass, seeing that everything was normal, he nodded at An Ran.An Ran then said: "It's better that this is really just a model, otherwise you should know the consequences. Also, what are you doing with a skeleton at home?"

Chen Kui pondered for a few seconds and said, "Actually, this is my dance partner."

"???"

An Ran and Li Daoyi suspected that there was something wrong with their ears, a skeleton, a dance partner?How can these two words be related together?

Chen Kuai thought that he would always be a colleague in the future, so he always had to explain, so he said: "This is my music room and dance room. You can see it by looking at the soundproof cotton wall panels around. Actually, I am an artist, music and dance , is one of my artistic hobbies."

An Ran: "How can an artist say that he is an artist?"

Chen Kuai shrugged slightly, but did not answer.

As soon as Li Dao walked into the room, he touched the skeleton model, then touched his nose, then looked at An Ran and said, "Don't tell me, it's quite atmospheric."

An Ran: "What about the other room?"

Chen Guai: "The other one doesn't have any skeletons, it's my studio."

An Ran thought, the studio should not be scary.However, as soon as she pushed the door open, she suddenly took three steps back and hit the wall directly.

Li Daoyi followed beside him, and also exclaimed: "Fuck! My heart is half cold."

In fact, their reaction is not to blame, because in the center of the studio, facing the door, is a very impactful painting.

It was a canvas about two meters long and nearly one meter wide, with a strange eye painted on it.

Like the eyes of the devil, it is breathtaking, staring at the painting, as if the whole person is going to be sucked in by those eyes.This is still the case when the eye is not fully painted, there are still some color patches in the pupil that have not been processed, and the white of the eye on the left seems to be processed.

Fortunately, the devil's eye is only two meters long. If it was painted the size of an entire wall, Li Daoyi would probably do it on the spot.

After a brief shock, the Taoist robed youth and An Ran finally came to their senses, but at the same time, an indescribable astonishment arose in their hearts. This eye was full of strange beauty.

And the easels, picture frames, paints, and paints all over the room gave people a feeling that it was not easy to settle down.It really looked like a serious studio.

Li Daoyi: "Brother Chen Kuai, I believe you are an artist now. I didn't expect that I was talking to a living artist, tsk..."

An Ran also looked sideways at Chen Guai, but this time she said: "The bedroom, show us around! There shouldn't be any surprises in the bedroom, right?"

"No, it's an ordinary bedroom."

This time, Chen Kui opened the door of the bedroom. This time, he was not shocked. It was just a clean and tidy bed, with the quilt spread flat on the bed, not messy at all.

But when An Ran and Li Dao followed Chen Kuai into the bedroom and took a look, they saw many ornaments on the wall opposite the bed. They were various specimens, including palm-sized spiders and colorful butterflies. , a foot-long centipede, an old bull horn, a black scorpion sealed in amber, a valuable pure golden beetle, and some strange shells, fish bones and other objects.

At this moment, both of them are not well.But this time, it was not so surprising.After all, these things are not scary, just a little strange.

Li Daoyi looked at Chen Guai in astonishment: "Sure enough, the artist's taste is a bit unique. Or, let's go to the living room for tea!"

An Ran took it for granted.

Two 10 minutes later.The three of them sat cross-legged in front of the tea table. Li Daoyi and Chen Guai were sitting opposite each other. Li Daoyi was talking eloquently. He was talking about ghost stories. He talked a lot, but he only talked about rumors and didn't go into details. .Sitting next to An Ran, she was actually just drinking tea seriously. To her, this kind of relatively elegant life was considered a luxury. Since it was rare to enjoy it, she naturally had to enjoy it.

"Jingle bell~"

An Ran: "I'll answer the phone."

Anran subconsciously chooses to answer the phone in the kitchen, because it doesn't give people a sense of oppression, so what's so weird about a cooking place?
"Report... Dongfang Yayuan is indeed in serious trouble... Yes, it is very serious... The police force from the other two districts will assist? Okay... Can we be in place after the fog clears?...I can understand...Ah~vomit ...It's okay, I hung up a bit beforehand..."

An Ran was reporting and discussing the incident with her superiors. Perhaps it was her subconscious behavior that she opened Chen Wei's refrigerator, and then saw some indescribable things in the refrigerator.

Li Daoyi was not well at the time, what did he see again?
And Chen Kuai shook his head slightly, calling whenever he called, what are you doing in my refrigerator?
In the kitchen, An Ran covered her mouth and looked at the row of more than a dozen snakes of various colors in the refrigerator, as well as the unfinished half of the snake wrapped in plastic wrap.And a semicircular crustacean the size of a face plate, with a long tail more than 20 centimeters long.

"Fuck, what is this?"

At this moment, even Li Daoyi was speechless, and felt his stomach churning.

An Ran's face turned pale, and she suppressed the discomfort in her stomach: "This is a horseshoe crab, protect animals, you have broken the law."

Chen Kuai said calmly: "This is artificially bred, not wild, and it is a non-toxic and edible variety. Look at the breeding label on its shell."

Li Daoyi: "Chen Guai, there seems to be something wrong with your diet!"

Chen Guai: "The first person to eat crabs, you may also think that there is something wrong with him."

Suddenly, Li Daoyi's face changed: "Fuck, the ones in your bedroom, shouldn't they be?"

Chen Guai: "It's not that exaggerated, I've only eaten part of it, and there are some that I can't eat."

An Ran: "Ugh~"

Li Daoyi also felt a churn in his stomach: "Sure enough, the rumors are not true at all. There must be something wrong with the artist's height. Maybe this is the price of art."
