Chapter 17 Chen Wei's Bizarre Life Experience
Ever since they saw Chen Guai's kitchen, An Ran and Li Daoyi never planned to leave the tea table again.

Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

An Ran got up to open the door, and then only heard a slightly magnetic voice at the door and said: "Beauty An, how does it feel to go out with a Taoist priest?"

"None of your business."

An Ran turned back unceremoniously, and then said, "Captain Han, sister in red."

The next moment, Chen Kuai saw a handsome man in overalls.This person has fair skin, a high nose bridge, bushy eyebrows, and slightly sunken eye sockets, as if he often stays up late, but it adds a little charm to him.Handsome but not masculine, quite masculine, probably not many normal girls would not like it.But obviously, An Ran is not a normal girl.

The other woman was tall and slender, with a slightly cold face, and a ponytail that reached her waist.The forehead is completely exposed, and the sideburns on both sides are provocative, which is completely different from An Ran's short hair.

This woman should be 1.7 meters tall. She is wearing a red off-the-shoulder cheongsam with half sleeves and a very long skirt that reaches to her feet.She wore flat red embroidered shoes on her feet, and held a small red pocket fan in her hand, probably a little more than half a foot.

"Cold and gorgeous."

Chen Kuai summed up a perfectly appropriate vocabulary for this woman in his mind.

"Yo! Smelly Taoist priest, why are you so comfortable?"

However, the moment the woman in red opened her mouth, Chen Wei's "cold and gorgeous" evaluation collapsed.The voice and tone of the speech broke the glamorous appearance. This woman's voice was a bit seductive, so the glamorousness suddenly became "coquettish".

Li Daoyi lazily said: "Tsk tsk, are you envious?"

Li Daoyi has a lazy personality and speaks more casually.

And at this time, the righteous master really walked in.

I saw a middle-aged man, definitely not over 40 years old.Wearing black sunglasses, a black woolen coat, a white shirt and a high-top jazz hat that Shanghai gangsters only wear, giving people a very luxurious feeling.

He only heard him say: "This is Mr. Chen Kuai?"

Chen Guai also got up and nodded calmly.

The man smiled slightly: "Hello, my name is Han Liu, the captain of the Hunter Management Bureau in Beimen District, Tianhuo City, has the Taoist told you about the Hunter Management Bureau?"

Chen Kuai shook his head slightly, neither Li Daoyi nor An Ran fully pointed out their true identities, and he did not ask.At this moment, as soon as Hallyu opened his mouth, he spoke out of the Hunter Administration without hesitation, obviously considering Chen Wei as an established member.

Both An Ran and Li Daoyi were a little surprised. Although they guessed that Chen Kuai was a natural evolutionary person, there are still too many doubts about this person. Why don't you investigate it in depth?

The few people at this moment actually looked at Chen Wei with some scrutiny, and the woman in red looked him up and down without any scruples.As for that handsome guy, he was a bit more subtle, but he wasn't ready to intervene.

Han Liu didn't sit down, but glanced at his watch first, and then said seriously: "Chen Wei, you can survive this supernatural event, which is not ordinary in itself. Let's open the skylight and speak bluntly. There are many secrets in this world." And dark things, ghosts are just one of them, and magical creatures that are more dangerous than ghosts abound. And the Hunter Administration is a professional organization that specializes in hunting these monsters. Now, as one of the three leaders in Tianhuo City, I I officially extend an invitation to you, are you willing to join the Hunter Administration?"

After Hallyu finished speaking, everyone else looked at Chen Wei quietly.It is not an easy task for Hallyu to issue an invitation so straightforwardly.

It’s not that it’s not easy to get an invitation from Hallyu, but it’s not easy for a person to accept some unknown and mysterious things in this world in a very short period of time.

However, as soon as the Korean Wave finished speaking, Chen Guai didn't have any politeness or asked anything, and nodded directly: "Okay."

Except for the Hallyu, the other people's hearts were moved. Chen Guai's reaction was too calm, and his answer was too straightforward, which made them feel a little uneasy.

And Han Liu continued: "Very good. On the way here, I have already investigated some of your information through official means. Then I am just a routine business, and I need to ask you a few questions. I will not ask more about other information now , However, since more than two months ago, you have rented a total of three houses in Beimen District and Baota District of Tianhuo City within three days, and there are rumors of supernatural events in the neighborhoods where these three houses are located, why?"

For this kind of mysterious department, the identity and background investigation must be very strict. If Chen Kuai wants to join the official, he knows that some information about himself cannot be concealed.

I only heard Chen Gui said: "I am a painter, you should know that I am a very good painter."

Hallyu nodded: "Naturally. You became a member of the National Artists Association at the age of 16, became a researcher at the National Academy of Arts, and won the Outstanding Art Achievement Award from the International Academy of Aesthetics in the same year. At the age of 19, you rejected the world's top universities, Odin Academy of Fine Arts Invitation from the National Academy of Fine Arts to study at the National Academy of Fine Arts... It can be said that on the road of painting, you have reached a height that no one else can reach in a lifetime when you are weak."

"so smart?"

Li Daoyi couldn't help opening his mouth. Chen blamed him for saying that he was an artist, and he did witness the painting in the room, but he had no concept of painting, and only thought about the name of the artist. Most likely, Chen blamed himself for saying of.But who knew that this guy was so awesome.

In addition to Li Daoyi, the woman in red also showed surprise. The handsome guy in overalls was leaning against the wall, so he couldn't help standing up straight.

And Chen Kui said: "Painting also needs breakthroughs and transformation. As far as painting skills are concerned, I have nothing to pursue, so I want to see different scenery in this world."

"So you draw ghosts?"

This question was asked by An Ran. At this time, she agrees with what Li Daoyi said just now. A real artist may have some mental problems.

Chen Kui glanced at An Ran and smiled slightly: "No, I'm not going to draw ghosts. What I want to draw are the stories behind these supernatural events, as well as the emotions and states of the people in the stories. I don't know if you can understand, but the drawing The saying that it is difficult to paint the skin of a person is actually wrong, the most difficult thing to paint is their thoughts, especially those that are distorted and deviant from common sense."

When it comes to professional in-depth research, don't forget that Chen Kuaike still has the identity of a researcher, so when Chen Kuaike talks eloquently, Hallyu is also quite confused, and he doesn't know what to say for a while.

An Ran: "Then why did you suddenly become interested in this supernatural phenomenon two months ago?"

Chen Guai: "It was just what I realized at that time. As for why I realized it, people of all kinds may have seen it too much. If you have read my profile, you should know that I am the owner of a bar. I like to draw pictures in bars. Drinking Most people always express things that they don't normally express."

At this time, I only heard Hallyu say: "Okay, this problem is over. I heard that your body has changed from three months ago?"

"Yes."

"How big is this change? Can you describe it?"

Chen Wei shook his head: "I don't have any idea about this, but I think that my physical fitness may have surpassed many world-class professional players."

I saw that the eyes of Han Liu and Li Daoyi were bright, and then they listened to Han Liu and said: "Okay, I have no problem. An Ran, you can arrange a temporary residence for Chen Kuai first, and explain to him about our department. some comprehensive information."

"it is good."

Chen Kuai frowned and said, "I have other residences."

Hallyu: "Although you have agreed to join our Hunter Management Bureau in Beimen District, after all, you have been involved in the supernatural incident in Dongfang Yayuan. I'm sorry. After the official appointment, we can't let you move freely. After all, we can't believe on our own that you're here for painting inspiration, can we?"

Chen Kuai nodded and didn't insist anymore, just said: "I have two things."

Everyone couldn't help looking at Chen Guai, this man is really rude, dare to make a request?
Hallyu joked: "As long as the ghosts are not left behind."

Chen Guai: "One is that my paintings must be taken away. How should I put them, they are very precious, especially the one I am creating now. It is the first painting of my transformation, and it is of great significance."

Hallyu: "No problem, to be honest, if you really broke it for some reason, you baby bumps, our team might not be able to pay for it. What else can you do?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at Han Liu in astonishment, thinking how valuable that is?
Chen Guai: "My taste is a bit special, so I have to take away my refrigerator and my ingredients."

Hallyu nodded: "It should. Just these two things?"

Chen Kuai nodded. He didn't care about things here for the time being, and he couldn't care about those who were not awakened.Although I also want to take revenge myself, but since there are professionals here to deal with it, it can be regarded as an explanation.

However, he still reminded: "By the way, there is something I think I should remind you of. At noon yesterday, someone jumped from Building 18. I happened to see it when I got home. I don't know if there is anything special behind it." , but it’s still a clue.”

"We already know this information."

After finishing speaking, Han Liu looked at everyone: "Okay, I've finished what I need to say, An Ran, take Chen Wei away, and arrange some professional people to pack these paintings and refrigerators..."

……

Until Chen Kuai left, Li Daoyi immediately said: "No, Lao Han, even if he is an artist, are his paintings so expensive? Our team can't afford it?"

The handsome guy also said: "I also think it's a bit outrageous, Team Han, what is the identity of this kid, and you didn't tell us the truth on the way here."

Hallyu paused and said: "Chen Wei, 24 years old, his parents died when he was young, and he was in the Qidian Orphanage until the age of 13. Because he suffered from pica and was isolated for a long time, he fell in love with painting and showed Extraordinary talent. Afterwards, he was adopted by Zhao Jing, an art master of Qingliu University. At the age of 15, he published a picture book "Insect Fantasy", but because the picture was too visually impactful, it was later banned from publishing, but the publication fee was not It is as high as more than 80. The next year, with the "Man Looking Up at the Starry Sky", he shocked the painting world. Guess how much this painting was shot?"

Li Daoyi: "If you say that, it must be very expensive."

Hallyu: "A 16-year-old boy's painting was sold at a sky-high price of 1000 or [-] million. The boy became famous, but that's all."

The woman in red: "He actually sold it?"

Hallyu: "Sell and donate."

Han Liu continued: "When Chen Kuai was 17 years old, Zhao Jing suffered a heart attack and died unexpectedly. Because it was too late to leave a suicide note, the family property was divided up by Zhao Jing's children. What Chen Kuai wanted was a family, not money. The relationship with Zhao Jing's children has never been very good, so he was displaced again. During his time, "The Beloved" made him famous again, and because of this, he won the Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award issued by the International Academy of Aesthetics. This Someone paid 3000 to [-] million for a painting, but he didn't sell it, but donated it to Qingliu University, and it is still hanging in the school..."

The woman in red: "It's quite individual."

Han Liu also praised: "It may be because of Zhao Jing's death and the family property struggle of Zhao Jing's children. After "The Beloved", Chen Kuai left the imperial capital and came to Tianhuo, which is said to be the place where his biological parents lived. City, and his style of painting also began to change, focusing on depicting characters, especially the dark side of human nature, so he specially opened a bar to facilitate his own painting... that’s about it.”

"Hey! So, we not only recruited a team member, but also a master artist? If this thing fails the mission, don't we have to bear a little bit of guilt?"

The handsome guy sighed.

The woman in red: "This is the path he chose, and people always have to pay the price for their choice. Oh, are all his paintings in this room?"

Li Daoyi: "It's in there, what's the matter?"

The woman in red: "Take a picture!"

Hallyu quickly said: "Respect other people's privacy, don't post on Moments, you can only watch it yourself."

The woman in red: "I understand."
