Soul Painter

This is the first day that Hu Ying joined the interest group.

According to the address Anna gave, she came to Anna's home near Tianmei.

This home looks ordinary.

It is a single two-story villa in a neighborhood near Tianmei. Of course, with Anna’s salary as an ordinary teacher, it may be difficult to afford here, but Anna is still a world-renowned master of modern art. Compared with this status, the studio in front of me It's a little bit shabby.

knock on the door.

The door opens.

Anna opened the door herself, then nodded to her, gesturing for her to come in, and then Anna turned around and entered the room.

Hu Ying knew that Anna didn't like to talk, so she didn't feel left out. She changed her shoes, and when she entered the studio, she saw that although there were many drawing boards in the room, it looked like she had attended a cram school for famous teachers before she was admitted to Tianmei. , but there are only two people in front of the drawing board.

A man and a woman, the man's name is Xu Le, the woman's name is Lei Yuqiang, both her seniors, Hu Ying waved to them, and asked with a smile: "Hello, brother and sister, where are the others?"

"How do you know there are other people?" Lei Yuqiang asked a little warily.

"Brother Xu said." Hu Ying pointed to Xu Le.

"...big mouth." Lei Yuqiang stared at Xu Le.

Xu Le chuckled, "Xiao Hu is very talented..."

"What are you drawing?" Hu Ying went to look at his drawing board, Lei Yuqiang covered it up a bit, while Xu Le let Hu Ying look at it openly.

Hu Ying discovered that Xu Le's painting was... well, it was a demon.

It is those devil sculptures that mostly stand at the junction of Eurasia, most of Europe, and parts of Asia and North America, also known as devil stone carvings, and Xu Le did not have a model in front of him, he drew it from a photo of.

But Xu Le's skills are very good. Even if he imitates the photo, he still draws it well. It is a white ghost, maintaining a fighting posture, and it looks very oppressive on the drawing board.

"Why did you draw the devil stone carvings?" Hu Ying thought it was weird.

"Because I don't want to draw humans." Xu Le said.

"What do you mean? You can still draw humans?" Hu Ying looked at Anna who was walking over, and asked enthusiastically, "Is this some kind of extracurricular exam question?"

At this moment, Anna walked down from the second floor.

In her hands, she held a red jar with a base.

Seeing this thing, Xu Le and Lei Yuqiang, who were painting, put down their brushes at the same time, knelt on one knee and lowered their heads, chanting softly and repeatedly three times:

"There is only one Lord, the beginning of all things, there is one Lord, the beginning of all things, there is one Lord, the beginning of all things."

After reading it three times, they read the next sentence in unison: "The loving father lives in the boundless world, and saves the devil from the four lights of the world."

This scene seemed a little weird.

Moreover, the slogans they proclaimed were very cult-like, which made Hu Ying a little surprised, even horrified.

She felt that in this studio, something was recovering and was peeping at her from the shadows. She turned her head slowly, but there was no one behind her, but the oppressive feeling made her hair stand on end, and she couldn't help but put her hand into it. In the pocket of the jeans, she clenched the copper coin tightly. The coolness brought by the copper coin made her mind settle down, yes, it's not yet time.

"Do you still want to join the hobby class?" Anna asked her while holding a red jar, "If you want to leave, turn around and leave now."

"It's strange that Xing, the interest class is like this~" Hu Ying reluctantly said, but she was complaining in her heart, what kind of interest class is this, isn't this the entrance ceremony of a cult? !

But that's what she's here for.

"If you still want to join, just bite this one and dedicate your soul to the great and loving father Gao Fan." Anna pointed to the rubber mouth on the red jar with 'SPIT' written on it.

Hu Ying looked at Xu Le worriedly.

"Don't you like painting? You can exchange your soul for a magical paint, but don't worry, as long as you get a soul and return it within the specified time, you don't have to hand over your soul. Painting Demons and humans can be painted.” Xu Le said to Hu Ying, “Then you can get a ‘ticket’, and more ‘tickets’ can be exchanged for more paints, which can take away human beings.” and demon souls!"

"Ah..." Hu Ying was a little confused.

No one urged her.

are waiting for her.

"Liu Chang, Huang Sifan, Zhao He, Liang Siyong..." Xu Le read out these names one by one. They are all Tianmei's graduates and left school during this period, and some of them have opened their solo exhibitions, "They are all our companions. "

"All? So many people?" Hearing these names, Hu Ying felt a little scary. Ana Armas had only been in Tianmei for four months, and she had developed so many... offline? It's really efficient.

"Yeah, so don't worry, you are not alone, we are all the priests of the ultimate god, we will bring mankind into the eternal paradise, this is our great mission." When Xu Le said this, his expression was even a little sacred , "In this apocalypse, it is only safe to get a 'ticket', you can get one for yourself, don't your parents, relatives and friends don't need it?"

"Stop talking nonsense with her." Lei Yuqiang stopped Xu Le.

"The end of the world is coming soon. We need more tickets to save more human beings. We need companions." Xu Le turned to Lei Yuqiang and said.

"As long as I master the highest skills, I can save the world myself." Lei Yuqiang snorted coldly, "There is no need for such a hesitant guy."

"When I taught you the Fa, you were still suspicious." Xu Le smiled at Lei Yuqiang, "You still said I was a pervert."

"That's all in the past! Now I wholeheartedly believe in 'Ultimate' and 'Father Gao Fan'!" Lei Yuqiang blushed slightly.

"Have you figured it out?" Anna didn't care about the quarrel between her two students. After waiting for a while, she said to Hu Ying, "You can turn around and leave, but I will cleanse your memory of all this."

These words made Hu Ying, who was already thinking about quitting, make up her mind.

This eighteen-year-old girl, in front of Anna, was taller than Anna, so she had to bend slightly, and put her mouth on the rubber mouth of the red pot. This scene made the other two students hold their breath. In their eyes, this scene has a special meaning, comparable to a Christian 'baptism'.

However, before biting the rubber mouth, Hu Ying suddenly asked again: "What do we believe in? What are we called?"

"We don't have a name, but we are the saviors gathered around the will of 'Lovely Father Gao Fan'. If you need a name, just call us 'Gatekeeper', because I guard the gate into heaven. said Anna.

The gatekeepers... it really is you.

Hu Ying bit the rubber mouth, exhaled lightly, and sent her soul into the red jar in front of her eyes, but she didn't want to become a "janitor", but came to explore the "janitor" with the will of another god. 'The truth behind it.
