After Amos left Elle's room, Annan quickly put on his clothes.

But he didn't go out at once.

Instead, he turned and locked the door, then took out the book from under his pillow, "The Curse and Seal of the Soul", and read it unhurriedly.

Without a doubt, this is the best time to do so.

Amos is a very intelligent and gentle man.

He will inevitably be sorry and embarrassed for the offense he has just made. While this wouldn't allow him to do anything at Annan's beheed, he at least wouldn't break into Elle's room again.

So at this time, even if he thinks that Elle has been in the room for too long, he won't break in the door again.

Because he would think that this was Elle's punishment for him - in his understanding, Elle must have been angry. Leaving him alone for more than ten minutes is a punishment with a little temperament, and it is also a time for Elle to dissipate her anger.

Well, Amos won't mess around. Instead, he would stay quietly in the kitchen, waiting for Annan to go out.

Otherwise, once Annan went out and didn't see him, maybe he would be angry again...... With Annan's one-sided understanding of Elle, she should indeed have such a reaction.

And because Elle was exposed in front of him, then Amos was forcibly reminded by Annan that "her daughter has grown up" and needs to have some private space. With a sense of moral guilt, Amos would no longer search Elle's room.

Then the bloody kitchen knife that Annan hid in the cupboard, as well as the book "The Curse and Seal of the Soul", will not be easily discovered.

Of course...... The premise is that Annan can't really stay for too long.

Fortunately, this book is the best one to investigate.

Because it has a bookmark in it, and it is stuck on the most important page. So Annan didn't waste any time, and he was able to see the core content directly.

“…… The seal using painting as the medium also needs to use the ritual of communicating with the skeleton father, the buried mother-in-law, and the dragon in the mirror. Among them, the ritual of the Skeleton Gong is more recommended, because the Skeleton Male has almost no cost to pay in the first ceremony......"

Seeing this somewhat familiar sentence, Annan's heart moved slightly.

Won't it ......

He grabbed the page in his right hand and turned to the title page with his left.

“…… Gryaznoha Rindon. ”

Annan slowly pronounced out the already somewhat familiar name.

Should it be said that it is not surprising?

Why are you again?

Could it be that Amos's wife is a fan of yours?

Or is this author with the blood of the Winter Gong still a bestseller...... Best-selling banned book author?

Moreover, do you have a grudge against the skeleton? Or is it just the right meal for the skeleton male? Why do every book have to teach their readers how to pick up the wool of the skeleton......

The corners of Annan's mouth twitched, and he flipped the book back.

“…… If the person performing the ritual is a painter, the skeleton will ask if they want 'paint', 'brush' or 'paper'. At this time, the best option is 'paper'.

"Because if the performer chooses a pigment, then the skeleton will give a special pigment, which can silently strip a part of the spirit of the other person when painting a portrait and store it in the portrait.

"It has the advantage that the other party won't notice anything, and this part of the spirit can be trained as a guardian spirit or used to curse enemies. The Guardian Spirit can move freely in all of the artist's paintings painted with this pigment; But the downside is that these spirits cannot escape from the portrait. And the amount of pigment obtained in a ritual is limited, and it is impossible to form an effective ability.

"And the use of this pigment makes the portrait extraordinarily realistic. Far beyond the normal level of the painter, it is easy to expose. Therefore, it is not recommended.

"Except for the pigment that can't be chosen, the remaining two options are more common. Let's talk about the differences between the two options, and how to seal souls and cast curses in detail......"

The following part turns the page.

Annan cautiously read the rest of the book before closing the book.

Sure enough...... The latter two options are to trick others into signing their names with a "pen", and to use paper to write contracts and contracts. It's all about painting.

At this time, a prompt crossed Annan's eyes:

[Exploring the Secrets of Amos Morrison] is a branch task that he has successfully completed.

"That's ...... so"

Annan muttered.

Everything is clear.

"Our Mr. Amos should be a well-known genius painter. He has an otherworldly dedication and talent for painting and beauty.

But he was tormented by some obsession—perhaps feeling the limits of his talents, or for some other reason. By looking through the collection of books left by his deceased wife, he accidentally found a way to sign a contract with the Skeleton Father.

"He didn't need the power of the Skeleton to curse others. Rather, he wanted to borrow that 'magic paint' to augment his paintings. Let him draw what he can't draw with ordinary paint, with his own ability......"

That is, the soul of man.

In that case, everything makes sense.

After Mr. Amos tried to paint portraits of people with this pigment, he could no longer escape the magic of this pigment and could not accept his previous mediocrity......

He could not accept the "garden" he painted, perhaps because he could not use this paint to bring out the soul of the garden; He didn't dare to use this paint to paint a portrait of his daughter Elle because he was afraid that it might affect Elle's health.

— but he dared to paint for others with this paint.

Therefore, Annan has no pity for this poor studio who is targeted by the skeleton.

It's all self-inflicted.

From Annan's point of view, his original paintings were already quite good. And he's only in his thirties now...... How many painters are famous because of their old age.

But he couldn't wait.

This may have been the first bottleneck in his life. Because of his exceptional talent, he had a smooth ride in his previous life and never encountered setbacks...... Even before he had the paint, he was invited to paint a portrait of the viscountess – even twice.

For Amos's age, that's a testament to his talent.

Although there are still many unsolved mysteries......

For example, why did Amos do this, why did he eat Elle's eyeballs, why Elle was sealed on the painting by him; The whole gallery says where the more than a hundred paintings came from; Is this viscountess the wife of the old viscount in Roseburg today...... And, why the entire Frozen Water Harbor is cursed.

But those secrets, for sure, are hidden in higher-level copies.

He only entered the third layer this time, and it was normal for him to not get all the information.

Anyway, Annan can enter the dungeon at any time after that...... And maybe you can fool the player into helping him decipher it.

Annan dared to pack tickets, and players would definitely like this.

At least at the gallery stage, that kind of thrill ...... It's like a person with a dull sense of taste who tastes spicy and piping hot Sichuan hot pot for the first time.

Oh yes, you can give them a live streaming channel. Annan had seen this feature in the background before.

Although it cannot be disclosed to the public for the time being for the sake of safety, it can also be posted on the forum so that other players can come and watch their dungeon strategy. It's a good time to try to see if the players who are watching the live stream - and Annan - can retain the memories lost when the players lose......

Now, it's almost time to end this quest.

Annan looked at the lonely one [Live] and showed a gentle and kind smile.

—and then he took the kitchen knife out of the dresser.
