Chapter 46 Special Invitation

Under Luo Shu's operation, Qin Ze's five senses were strengthened.

And when the five senses are strengthened to a certain extent, they will be integrated into intuition, which is the sixth sense.

This is a very special perception.

Qin Ze felt that a certain important person was watching him condescendingly.

He acted very naturally.

First, he politely asked the women who were watching him to leave.

Then he walked alone to the spiral staircase and went to the second floor of the exhibition hall.

He didn't go directly to the owner of the gaze, or even try to find that gaze.

He just walked towards a position farther away from the person who cast his gaze, as if observing the painting at will.

"My attention just needs to be on the painting."

"Then in the process of appreciating various paintings, I got closer to the goal a little bit until—"

"I stand in front of the same painting as the target."

Qin Ze silently read Luoshu's name three times:

"You should have art appreciation ability?"

Luo Shu said proudly:
"Don't worry, you can pick some abstract, impressionist and postmodernist paintings at will, and I can definitely tell you one, two, three."

"What's more, I also have the ability to check for omissions and make up for vacancies. This is accounting ability, which can temporarily weaken one of my abilities and strengthen another ability, such as weakening my sense of taste, but improving my memory and reading speed. Become stronger."

"I will use the fastest speed to search for information, so that you can talk freely in front of your target."

Qin Ze didn't say anything.

He seems to have forgotten the mission now, and is just enjoying the painting exhibition purely.

He paused in front of each picture.

Just let Luo Shu comment on this painting. After the comment, Qin Ze moved to the next painting.

He is still far away from the target, Luo Shu actually wants to urge Qin Ze to hurry up.

But instead of quickening his pace, Qin Ze stopped completely in front of a picture.

The appearance of this painting forced Qin Ze to change his undercover plan.

At the same time, some thoughts and fears emerged in my heart.

"Temporary worker, the level of this painting is not good, maybe it can be classified as surrealism? But the lines are really messy. The painter is like drawing my father's leg hair, and his hands are shaking."

"And the content of the painting is actually tentacles and the moon. There are indeed many angles that can be interpreted, but the painting is really not very good."

Luo Shu made her evaluation.

It was a painting of weird tentacles and a moon, the lines were so thick and chaotic that it looked poorly crafted.

Maybe it can really be interpreted from the content of the painting, but Luo Shu doesn't think that the artistic content of this painting can attract the empress.

She even felt that the author of this painting was shaking his hands when he was painting, so this painting shouldn't appear here.

Qin Ze thought a little deeper.

In his opinion, it is not unreasonable for this painting to be placed here.

He remembers that when he was a child, he went to give gifts to other people’s homes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. His father put mooncakes worth 600 yuan each into a mooncake box worth [-] yuan. When the two families watched the moon together,

No one thinks there is anything wrong with mooncakes, and even said that good mooncakes are just different, fragrant and sweet.

There are many such examples. Tea and wine are actually just like paintings.

The biggest reference factor for layman appreciation-price.

It's expensive, and that's good.

Qin Ze believes that it is ironic but not unusual for this painting to enter the exhibition hall.

But he just couldn't move.

He completely lost the desire to look at other paintings, and stared straight at this painting.

Even after Luo Shu yelled several times, he wondered if the sensor had been cut off.

She didn't want temporary workers to waste their chances like this.

The aesthetics of the empress of the Hall of Valor is really not enough to appreciate such a painting.

But what happened next surprised Luo Shu.

Not long after, a lady wearing a black evening dress, a silk top hat, and an emerald ring on her index finger slowly came to Qin Ze's side.

She is a little taller than Qin Ze, and with the high heels, she looks even taller.

Although there is no invisible coercion that can only be felt among veterans, Luo Shu, who is far away from the company, feels a sense of oppression when facing a tall lady.

Even if it's just out of the corner of Qin Ze's eye, Luo Shu, a soft girl who is 1.5 meters nine, can't help being envious when she sees this 1.8 meters tall lady wearing high heels.

Vena does not use enterprise valuation.

Because of this lady's aura, even if she doesn't conduct a company valuation, she can guess——

This woman is the target of this mission.

"Is there anything special about this painting? You seem to be fascinated by it?"

A mature woman with a temperament similar to Yu Feihong spoke.

Qin Ze pretended to be dazed and looked over, and when he saw this tall lady, he pretended to be subconsciously amazed, but it was not exaggerated, the amazement passed by in a flash.

"Are you asking me?"

"Yes. Don't you think the technique of this painting is very clumsy?" said the tall slender lady.

"Well, the technique is clumsy, and it's slightly better than the 25 yuan sketches on the street."

"Then why did you stand in front of this picture for so long? Are you thinking about why it exists here?" The woman's tone became colder.

"Not really. I can understand why this painting is here. After all, the appreciation of art is a very subjective thing. There is no difference between vegetable buns and lobster meat in the mouth of a beggar."

Qin Ze paused and said:
"I just made an assumption. These tentacles stand tall on the ground. The lines of this painting are disordered. The moon hanging high in the sky looks like a huge eye..."

"Tell me, why did he draw such content?"

Qin Ze raised a question.

But Qin Ze already knew the answer to the question.

Because the painter—— saw such a scene.

It's like Li Lu, who saw exactly the same scene when she was descended.

There are many tentacles, and the blood moon hangs high.

This is the reason why this painting really attracted Qin Ze.

In the exhibition hall of the art exhibition, he actually saw the picture in Li Lu's mind... when he was brought down.

So, did the painter of this painting experience the same scene?

"We all know that the level of paintings that can enter the exhibition is uneven."

"Some people buy durians to repay their kindness, and some people buy durians, but they buy more money to pay for revenge."

"But the store will say, you picked it yourself."

"For customers, the only reference value is the price."

"So this painting is here because of the price."

After a short pause, Qin Ze continued:

"But you should understand that in the art world, the price is not only related to the quality of the work, but also linked to the reputation. For the same painting, if you change the signature, the price will change dramatically."

"So art collection is also a matter of sophistication. This painting can be placed here, which shows that the painter is very famous."

"This is where the strangeness lies. No matter how poor a famous painter is, he shouldn't paint a painting so messily."

The tall slender woman said:

"So you think there is a problem with this painting? What metaphor is hidden?"

Qin Ze shook his head:

"No, no, I just think that this painting was purely drawn when he was suffering."

"He must have been in a lot of pain, maybe he didn't know what to do with his body. I don't think there is any metaphor... I just don't understand, why did he draw such a picture?"

The corner of the woman's mouth is raised:

"Maybe it's because of him, seeing such a picture."

Qin Ze pretended to be surprised:

"You mean, the tentacles, the giant moonlike eyes, he did see?"

Then he stroked his chin and asked himself an answer:

"Well, it's not impossible."

"This scene is very weird. He may have met him in a dream. You see, these things are neatly arranged, but there is a kind of... weird beauty."

"It can be seen that although the painter was in pain at the time, he still tried his best to describe the illusion he saw."

Of course, Qin Ze knew that the painter must have seen this scene as clearly as Li Lu.

So Qin Ze stopped in his tracks when he first saw the painting.

The target comes from the Hall of Valor. As a high-level member of the Hall of Valor, it is impossible for him not to know the realm of the old calendar, and the twisted arrival of recruitment, at least he has experienced it.

It is too coincidental that this painting appeared here.

It's hard for Qin Ze not to guess that the target may be related to this painting, or even—

The goal is to come to the exhibition for this painting.

His intuition was right.

This tall empress is indeed very interested in this painting.She really didn't expect that someone would stay under this painting.

And the state of the painter at that time is well guessed.

She thought that the other party was just curious about why this painting was placed in the exhibition hall.

But now, she has a feeling of finding a confidant.

Because this painting is her work.

"I want to get to know you. I admire your grasp of the mentality of art creators. My name is Gao Jingzhi."

"I am the owner of this painting. Oh, no, to be precise, I am the author of this painting. I sold it, but I am about to buy it back."

Qin Ze pretended to be surprised.

Although I was secretly happy, this task should be regarded as a successful completion, and I have successfully attracted the attention of this Ms. Gao.

But the guess was confirmed, which also made him feel a little weird.

It is of course normal for a painter to sell his paintings.

But the problem is, sell your own paintings, and then buy back the paintings you sold in other people's art exhibitions?

What is this operation?
Although he noticed something weird, Qin Ze still had a look of surprise on his face.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have commented blindly before, I didn't expect you to be the author of this painting."

Qin Ze showed an embarrassed expression, as if telling an author that a certain story was very ugly, only to find out that the author of that story was the current author's alias.

But Qin Ze had already guessed the result, so when the other party asked if the painting was poorly crafted, he didn't just praise it.

By clearly pointing out the problem with the painting, it will appear more real.

"My name is Qin Ze. I'm just a layman commenting casually. I hope I didn't offend you."

Qin Ze smiled awkwardly but politely.

Gao Jingzhi didn't feel offended, she just showed a meaningful smile:

"I think you described my creative state at that time very correctly. You can be regarded as a confidant."

"Do you want to enter the painting?"

……

Into the painting?

These words really set off a huge wave in Qin Ze's heart.

If he hadn't touched the calendar or the weird world, he believed that this tall lady was probably using some kind of literary metaphor.

But once you get in touch with the calendar, it is very possible that the so-called world in the painting is really bringing people into the painting.

Qin Ze looked at Gao Jingzhi:
"I can understand that entering the world in the painting implies a date?"

Gao Jingzhi smiled gracefully and said:

"It can also be said that this is a date, a date that may be very interesting and special."

Qin Ze made a regretful expression:

"I haven't had a date with a painter yet, it's my pleasure, and I'd love to talk art with you. Unfortunately, I actually have something to do this afternoon."

Qin Ze rejected Gao Jingzhi's invitation.

Gao Jingzhi was a little surprised, she didn't expect to be rejected.

But she was not annoyed, and said with a smile:

"This date is likely to benefit you for life. You should think carefully about it."

……

……

Somewhere outside the exhibition hall.

As a "hub", Luoshu connects information from all parties.

During the dealings between Qin Ze and Gao Jingzhi, Luo Shu had already listed Gao Jingzhi's real identity information.

"I didn't expect that the powerhouse at the level of the Empress of the Hall of Valor is actually a painter in reality. Could it be that her occupation in the old calendar is also a painter?"

It was Lan Yu who asked.

Qin Ze and Luo Shu bound and communicated.Lan Yu, Jian Yiyi, Huo Qiao and others communicated in the group.

Jane said one by one:

"Not sure, but if it's a painter, it's easy for me to deal with her."

"Xiaoyu, there is a high probability that the current situation is the second situation. We may have to kidnap Gao Jingzhi."

Luo Shu was puzzled:

"The second situation? Isn't Qin Ze acting as an undercover agent in this operation to gain the other party's trust?"

Jane explained carefully one by one:
"There are actually two plans for this operation. The first plan is to allow Ozawa to gain a great charm point and attract the target in a short period of time. It can be regarded as... Seductive."

"Because the target is very masculine, this is the information from Chen Sheng's mouth."

"The advantage of the first plan is that we can take a long line to catch big fish, and arrange Ozawa in without attracting the attention of other forces in the Hall of Valor."

"If the plan is successful, then we will create an extremely realistic fake calendar for Ozawa, a black calendar."

"Bao Buqi Ozawa can get a Hall of Valor code name because of this. For example, code name Lai Ai or something."

"However, the premise of this plan is that the target Gao Jingzhi's participation in the art exhibition is a natural act, not a calendar act."

Luo Shu seemed to understand:
"Gao Jingzhi invited the temporary workers, but the content of the invitation was—whether you want to enter the painting or not."

"This may mean that Gao Jingzhi will break the taboo next? She participated in the art exhibition, not just looking at the paintings normally, but because she has other plans?"

Jane said one by one:

"Yeah, into the picture, most likely literally, she wanted to draw Ozawa into the picture."

"For Ozawa's safety, we can only carry out plan two, hijacking the target."

Jian Yiyi really didn't want to hijack the target.

Because once the battle starts, even if the target is successfully hijacked, it will alarm other people in the Hall of Valor.

But whether Gao Jingzhi breaks the taboo or not is not determined by the plan, this is an accident.

All he and Lan Yu can do is to make the most correct response to various changes.

Although Gao Jingzhi is important, Qin Ze is more important now.

"You inform Qin Ze to evacuate. Refuse all appointments. Jian Yiyi and I will arrive immediately and arrest Gao Jingzhi!"

When Lan Yu gave the order, Luo Shu felt even more convinced by Qin Ze.

"The temporary worker didn't even need my advice. He already rejected Gao Jingzhi's invitation. The temporary worker is not obsessed with beauty at all!"
