Soul Painter

When the boss bid farewell to Gao Fan and Wu Haoxue, he sighed: "I have only heard of the danger of trainee investigators, but I didn't expect it to be so dangerous. You guys would hide the source of pollution in the toilet..."

"Boss, I'm really sorry, we didn't do it on purpose." Wu Haoxue sincerely apologized.

"It's alright, it doesn't really matter anymore. In the current situation in Dongying, as an investigator, I will definitely do something. It doesn't matter if it's polluted." The boss said again, a bit heroic in his tone and expression.

"What's your plan? Don't think about it!" Wu Haoxue said hurriedly.

"I have a plan and I am in need of manpower. Are you interested in participating..." the boss asked.

...

The mystery lingering on the "Portrait of Miyashiro" will probably take a long time to dissipate, or it will never dissipate.

Therefore, Gao Fan and Wu Haoxue moved home a piece of the ruins of the Chernobyl explosion and hid them in the toilet. Such a move would make the boss feel emotional, knowing that the trainee investigator was dangerous, and had tried to avoid contact as much as possible. But it's not like they can do such a thing.

Putting such a pollution source at home will naturally continue to produce pollution. Fortunately, as long as this painting is not seen by humans, it will not have any impact.

Each pollution source affects the world in different ways, and some are very strange. For example, in the STK training camp, the trainees were shown a seed that must be isolated with pure water.

Once out of pure water, any substance the seed comes in contact with will absorb nutrients and become nourishment for its growth. If the nutrients are sufficient, it will grow into a towering tree, as magical as Jack's pods in fairy tales.

Sounds amazing, but what if it was planted on a human body?

Facing the instructor's question, Wu Haoxue shivered with the other students.

Generally speaking, the way a pollutant affects the world is related to its 'prototype', such as the seed will grow and the flame will burn.

And this painting, limited by its prototype, will not be contaminated without looking at it.

So Wu Haoxue was fine as long as he closed his eyes and went to the toilet, and he forgot to remind his boss for a while.

But after a few days.

Wu Haoxue found that when Gao Fan came out of the toilet, he always had an aftertaste on his face, and he went to the toilet more and more often.

"Teacher, are you... all right?" Wu Haoxue thinks that Gao Fan's age has not yet reached the stage of frequent urination, urgency, and inexhaustible urination, right?

"I can see the doubts about my physical condition in your eyes..." Gao Fan patted his chest and said, "Tell you, I am in great shape!"

But the mental state doesn't seem to be very good?

Wu Haoxue observed Gao Fan cautiously, and found that Gao Fan was indeed in a relatively abnormal state of mind. His eyes, tone, and movements all had an obvious psychotic temperament. At the same time, at this time, Gao Fan repeatedly asked to go out and slip. , which made Wu Haoxue very puzzled.

"Teacher, there are troops everywhere now. The boss said that although the control has been loosened, citizens still need a pass for travel, and we don't have one..."

Wu Haoxue was talking when he saw Gao Fan smiling and holding out two passes.

Pass is one of the measures currently under military control in Kyoto.

Only one person per household can purchase daily necessities with the pass.

But where did Gao Fan get this certificate? There are also photos of Gao Fan and Wu Haoxue on it... Wu Haoxue reached out and touched it, and immediately understood that this was a painting, and even the two-inch photo above was painted on. , including the texture of the plastic cover, which is clearly visible and vivid.

"Teacher, it's a pity for you to draw a pass at this level. You draw yen." Wu Haoxue complained.

"Yen is also drawn~" Gao Fan took out a few banknotes, he pondered, "I just couldn't find the right paper, I felt a little book..."

"...You are really ready." Wu Haoxue said.

"Then let's go!" Gao Fan was about to go out again.

"Why?" Wu Haoxue didn't understand.

"Collection of the wind." Gao Fan took it for granted, "I said that I want to draw a pillar for Dongying, but I can't draw it out of thin air, so I have to collect the wind."

"How can the pillars be painted... Xing Xing Xing, even if you want to paint, now is not the time, there is no one on the street, who are you painting?" Wu Haoxue wanted to convince Gao Fan.

"It's just because there's no one on the street, that's why I'm going to a place where there are many people." Gao Fan looked at Wu Haoxue like a fool, "If there are people on the street, I can draw them on the balcony. Well, the entry and exit cards can be drawn according to the drawings, not to mention humans, but no one."

Indeed, the apartment they lived in was in the corner of Kyoto, which was already remote. After entering the current military administration period, almost no pedestrians were on the street. There were only a few familiar faces coming and going every day, which was probably not enough for Gao Fan.

"Let's put it this way..." Wu Haoxue looked at Gao Fan wearing his shoes and was about to leave, "As entrusted by the operator, protecting you is the first priority, if you have to go out at this moment, it is out of consideration for your personal safety. , I'll tie you up after knocking you out."

Gao Fan stopped when he put on his shoes.

He looked back at Wu Haoxue.

Looking at the calm face and stubbornness in the eyes of this eighteen-year-old boy who was taller and stronger than him.

So Gao Fan muttered while taking off his shoes, "You rebel..."

Back in the small living room.

Gao Fan was lying on the small sofa, his eyes staring at the ceiling, suddenly turned over and stood up, and was about to go to the bathroom, but was stopped by Wu Haoxue.

"Teacher, are you contaminated by that painting?" Wu Haoxue frowned and looked at Gao Fan, "I don't think you seem very rational."

Not very sensible...?

Gao Fan looked at his system, his sanity value was 63/100, and his spare SAN value was 5/100.

"Oh~ you're right." Gao Fan added 5 SAN points to his sanity, and now his sanity has become 68. "Well, I'm more sane."

Gao Fan said, then turned sideways to avoid Wu Haoxue and entered the bathroom.

"Close your eyes!" Wu Haoxue shouted outside the bathroom.

"Got it!" Gao Fan stared at the "Portrait of Sanzhuo" placed above the toilet tank.

Sanity is decreasing.

-1.

-1.

...

Wu Haoxue recorded the frequency of Gao Fan's recent toilet visits ~www.readwn.com~ once an hour for at least ten minutes each time.

There must be something wrong with this.

...

And Gao Fan also found the abnormality of Wu's eagerness to learn.

It was Wu Hao who learned to sneak out of the apartment at night.

Ok... don't let me out, you go out secretly yourself.

Gao Fan secretly stared at Wu Haoxue late at night one day. After waiting for Wu Haoxue, who was sleeping in the living room, to go out, he followed. Then, Gao Fan watched from a distance. Wu Haoxue did not take the usual path. The courtyard wall, and then jumped off the second floor of the house, walking smoothly between a row of independent Japanese-style buildings, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

The 'investigation' skills are enough for Gao Fan to identify Wu Haoxue's whereabouts, but Gao Fan can't climb the wall...

So Gao Fan stood for a few minutes in the slightly cold evening wind with his arms in his arms, mumbling, 'Isn't this bullying? ', scolded and went back to sleep.
