Soul Painter

Chapter 17: new task

   Police cars, firefighters, ambulances, parked outside the school cafeteria.

In fact, in this incident, Guo Henry was the most injured person. No one else had a major incident. At most, there were a few tinnitus and a few twisted feet. As for everyone, they said that they were in a bad state of mind. At that time, the doctor didn't care.

  Because the doctor can't see the SAN value dropped by these people.

Although Gao Fan couldn't see it, he could feel that the scene just now was like a collective hell. He had heard that the army would bomb camps. The cafeteria bombed the camp just now. If it weren't for Guo Henry to stop in time, it might be the whole school. They are all bombed.

If    continues to explode, maybe this school will become a huge mental hospital.

   What is this?

  From that picture?

   to the self who burned that picture.

   To the collective nightmare in the cafeteria today.

   What is the matter with me?

   Gao Fan was wearing a blanket given by a nurse, sitting on a flowerbed outside the canteen, recalling everything he had experienced.

   ‘Investigation’ did not give him an answer.

   is definitely the reason why the skill value is not high enough.

   At this time, Gao Fan saw Lin Senhao.

   "Here." Gao Fan waved to Lin Senhao.

   Lin Senhao came over.

   "What did you see after chasing out?" Gao Fan asked him.

   "Nothing was caught." Lin Senhao shook his head.

   "It's brave!" Gao Fan praised, raising his thumb.

   Lin Senhao smiled uncomfortably.

   At this time, Gao Fan looked at a nurse, helped Guo Henry, who was covered with bandages on his head, and entered the ambulance. He couldn't help sighing. What could be more depressing than being misunderstood by a deaf and blind man? You can't explain it.

   That STK headquarters, will come to trouble again.

   At this time, Gao Fan looked at a new task in his system menu.

  ’Investigate the origins of the lower races who invaded the school. ’

  ‘Reward: 15 points of SAN value. ’

   Even if the system doesn't mention it, Gao Fan wants to investigate it.

   If you are scheduled to be able to complete the task.

   will get these 15 points of SAN value.

   Gao Fan feels that he can consume some of them first. This is the so-called ‘early consumption’.

   "In the future, my painting skills will get better and better, and the SAN value obtained will be more and more. Therefore, the precious intellectual value now will continue to depreciate in the future. In this case, it is not a big deal to consume in advance..."

   Gao Fan, like all urban men and women caught in the trap of consumerism, comforted himself.

He needs more'investigation' skills, because his'investigation' skills just now can't see the truth about the existence of maggots at all. If the'investigation' skills are high enough, he may not be confused by arrogance. This is very important to Gao Fan, who was involved in the mysterious incident.

   A second ago, his SAN value was 80/0.

   One second later, it became 76/0.

   And the skill value of ‘investigation’ has changed from 16 to 20.

   After the skill value reaches ‘20’, the ‘investigation’ cannot be improved. This single item is not related to the painter’s three major items. Gao Fan doesn’t know what is restricting its improvement.

After the    SAN value fell below 80, there was a low noise in Gao Fan's ears.

The cafeteria was very noisy. There were busy police, firefighters and nurses everywhere. The firefighters came because of a fire in the cafeteria, and the fire was because the staff in the back kitchen was frightened by maggots and knocked over the stove. The scene attracted more students' onlookers.

The teachers are dispersing the crowd of students, the doctors are examining the wounded, the firefighters are carrying water pipes in and out... All of this can be called the smoke and fire of the world, but in this it is only the appearance, and within the appearance, it is eternal. Those deep whispering voices that don't fade away.

They are so remote and real, as if countless pairs of eyes are staring at the world. Compared with human beings, they are so small and even ridiculous. All the magnificent miracles of modern civilization are like sand castles built by ants on the beach. ...

  No...Don't think about it.

   Gao Fan shook his head vigorously to get rid of this so-called thinking about the truth of the world.

   That is useless.

   He turned his attention back to the events he experienced in the past few days.

   The skill value of ‘investigation’ was raised to 20, and the logical thinking of Gao Fan was greatly improved. Soon, a key point emerged.

   That picture.

   The painting titled "The Gate of Hell".

   Obviously it is the key.

   The maggots I saw in the cafeteria today are very similar to those climbing on the cliffs of the abyss in the painting.

   Another key, the "Gao Fan" suspected by STK, also entered STK's sight because it burned that painting.

   So... we should start investigating from this painting.

   The reward this time is only 15 points of SAN and no other ‘skills’ are rewarded. The system should have internal logic, which may prove that the task is simple.

   ‘Investigation History’.

   should be as long as you find the source of this ‘lower race’, such as the name.

  Since there are low-level races, there may also be high-level races, and since they are races, it means...are they a different race from humans?

   These conclusions returned by the ‘investigation’ surprised Gao Fan, but he took it for granted.

   At least in the world environment he recognizes, no race is maggot-like, except maggots.

   In other words, the focus of this mission is to obtain corresponding information.

   Gao Fan remembers that in the introduction of "The Gates of Hell", it was written from an old mansion in this city, so let's look it up from here.

   was planning, suddenly a policeman walked up to Gao Fan.

   "Gao Fan, right?" the policeman asked.

   Gao Fan nodded.

   "Please go back with us and assist in the investigation," the policeman said.

"Huh? Only me?" Gao Fan looked around ~www.novelmt.com~ The whole cafeteria was very lively. Dozens of students and cafeteria employees gathered here. After a brief questioning by the police, Was released.

   "Yes, only you." The policeman said.

   "This classmate attacked bravely just now and almost chased the weird person who caused the riot. Doesn't he need to follow?" Gao Fan asked Lin Senhao.

   "I have already asked this classmate Lin just now, there is no such need." The police replied.

   "That student rushed out of the canteen first, and even stepped on another student's foot. Doesn't he need to assist in the investigation?" Gao Fan asked again.

   "This is just an accident. Nobody wants it. It's not necessary." The police replied.

   "The canteen employee over there overturned the stove and caused a fire. He doesn't need to go back to assist in the investigation?" Gao Fan continued to ask.

   "Also..." The police was speechless for a while when asked, but wanted to ask, is it just for this moment that you remember everyone's behavior so clearly?

   It’s also true. In the whole incident, Gao Fan, who stood there from the beginning to the end, was taken back to the police station to assist in the investigation.

   He didn't understand the instructions from STK!

   "In short, please fulfill the obligations of a citizen and cooperate with us to go back and investigate." The police said.

   "Okay." Gao Fan nodded, "Do you mind if I record and record the whole process?"

   "You..." The policeman was taken aback.

"The video and audio just now have been passed to my mentor. If I have any accidents, this video will be used as the final evidence and posted on the Internet." Gao Fan took out his mobile phone in his jacket pocket. The police said seriously.

   Do you treat the police station as a bandit den? ! The police have nothing to say.
