Flames ignite from the bottom of the frame, engulfing the room bit by bit.

Qian Cangyi was about to retreat, but he felt a hot wave coming from behind him.

The laughter grew closer, and the harshness grew.

As soon as Qian Cang turned around, he saw the first mate of the Asuka who was engulfed in flames.

The first mate seemed to be roaring, but his throat couldn't make any sound.

The flames engulfed the room, as if to hell.

The skeleton in the painting stretched out his hands to Qian Cangyi, and then grabbed the frame, as if trying to crawl out of the painting.

"Is it another hallucination?" Qian Cang gritted his teeth, his forehead was already covered with sweat.

To be precise, it's not quite appropriate to call it an illusion.

If it is a hallucination, as long as the person in the hallucination does not do anything, it will naturally not be hurt.

The pink demon I met before was different, and if I didn't do anything in the face of these horrific scenes, I would really die.

Qian Cang turned around, kicked the first mate behind him away, and then covered his head with both hands and ran out of the door.

The wooden door frame was on fire, more of a ring of fire than a door.

At this time, Qian Cangyi was the lion jumping the fire ring in the circus.

He glanced back at the first mate, who was covered in flames, and pounced on him, and in this moment, he made a decision.

His right foot slammed on the ground, and after jumping, the whole person shrunk into a ball and passed through the ring of fire.

After landing, there was only darkness left around, and the body was gradually declining.

Thump.

The sound of falling water rang in my ears.

As soon as Qian Cang noticed a white light below him, he swam towards the light.

When his right hand touches the light, the scene returns to the room where Samuel once lived.

"What's wrong with you?" Robert hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

At this time, Qian Cangyi found himself half-kneeling on the ground, his hands supporting the ground, and sweat was falling on the ground one by one.

He looked up at the painting Samuel left behind in front of him, and then he turned to look at the first mate of the Asuka, who was now acting exactly like him.

In the next second, flames ignited from the eyes of the first mate, and then quickly spread throughout the body.

[Reminder: Your current mental state is - sanity.] 】

[In this state, he is conscious and has normal physical functions.] 】

Reason......

Qian Cang frowned.

"Ahh Pierce, who had just walked to the door, was frightened by the scene.

"Water, water, water!" Robert shouted and ran out the door.

Qian Cangyi didn't move, and the scene just now reappeared in his mind.

The smell of meat had gradually come from the first mate's body, but since the flames were ignited, the first mate's body had not moved.

Qian Cangyi knew that the first mate was dead, in the trap set by Samuel.

By the time a few buckets of water extinguished the flames on the first mate's body, it was already too late.

"What's going on? We were just following you, what the hell was going on in the room? Pierce felt his scalp tingle.

Qian Cangyi leaned his back against the wall, turned his head to look at the painting on the table, and said:

"There is a problem with this painting......"

"You should be glad you're behind."

"Pierce, if you switch places with the first mate, then you will be the one who smells of meat now."

As soon as Qian Cang finished speaking, he walked towards the painting on the table.

The woman in the painting remains the same and does not turn around.

Qian Cangyi picked up the painting, glanced at the corner, and then flipped the painting over again.

On the back, a few lines of words appeared.

He read it out:

"Samuel. Fergus. ”

"Suffocate the wilderness."

"The 07th work of the exhibition of life."

"Gift to the lost who are in desperate pursuit."

Qian Cangyi took a deep breath after reading it.

"What do you mean?" Robert didn't understand.

Qian Cangyi put the painting on the table in turn, and then he spoke:

"Samuel already knew we were going to follow In'n, so he gave us this gift."

Robert stepped forward and looked at the message behind "Suffocating the Wilderness", and suddenly felt a chill in his back.

Still not understanding, Pierce asked:

"What do you mean? Could it be that the first mate was killed by Samuel, whom you call him? ”

"Who is he?"

After he finished speaking, for some reason, he felt a wave of nausea, and the smell of the first mate's flesh wafted into his nose, making him sick to his stomach.

"Vomit ......"

"I'll go out." He covered his mouth with his right hand and ran out quickly.

Qian Cangyi pointed to the words on the painting and said to Robert:

"The exhibition of life may refer to the exhibition of paintings."

"I don't think Samuel knew we were tracking him, and I am afraid that his foreknowledge was very vague, so he left this strange painting as a trap."

"His purpose was to kill us, or the members of the Asuka who leaked secrets."

"The key to the effectiveness of a painting should be time."

"Whether we get the painting early or late, it doesn't change the outcome, and if we don't, it's better for Samuel."

When Robert heard this, he glanced back at the first mate with a serious expression, and then he said to Qian Cangyi:

"You have to be careful."

"When you were in Pegasus City before, you also encountered this kind of thing."

"These cultists have too many tricks, and those weird things on the Blue Pearl, I really don't know where they got them!"

Robert was rather angry.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Qian Cang nodded.

After the news of the death of the first mate of the Asuka spread, the crew of the Asuka returned to the ship, along with several policemen.

Such a strange way of death made these policemen completely unsure of where to start.

Even with the testimony of Pierce, who is a police officer, the officers still did not believe Mr. Rin's account.

In any case, Qian Cangyi had to go to the police station.

In the interrogation room of the East Beacon Police Department, a man named Arthur. Frank's police officer sat across from the bank.

"Mr. Marshall, please explain why you're okay." Arthur's brown eyes stared at Kankuraichi's face, as if he wanted to peek into the thoughts inside.

"I don't know." Qian Cangyi shook his head.

He could say the content of the illusion, but it didn't mean much.

Those who don't believe it won't believe it either.

That's when Director Merman walked in.

"Let me come." Merman glanced at Arthur.

"Yes." Arthur stood up and walked out of the interrogation room.

Merman glanced at Arthur's record, then tossed it aside with a snort, and said:

"Marshall, there's something I have to warn you about."

"I remember I told you that you have to solve the case in Pierce's hands before you can do your business."

"Didn't you promise me? Or is there something wrong with my ears? ”

"Now the crew of the Asuka is staying outside the police station, if it weren't for my men to protect you, I'm afraid you would be lying in the hospital by now."

After Merman finished speaking, he looked at Qian Cangyi with a playful look.

Painting kills people, almost no one believes it.

It didn't matter if he was in the middle of nowhere, Owen's letter really couldn't get Merman to help him wholeheartedly, but Merman couldn't have done it on purpose.

Not helping is not the same thing as obstructing.

Qian Cangyi tapped the table with his right hand and asked:

"Director Merman, have you ever heard of the 'Exhibition of Life'?"

Merman glanced at the ceiling and replied:

"I haven't heard of it."

"Is this something you made up again?"

Qian Cangyi didn't continue to ask, but changed the topic:

"It's not too early, and I still need to report on my progress."

"If nothing else, I should be able to get out, right?"

Merman thought for a moment, crossed his fingers on the table, and said to Qian Cangyi:

"Pierce has told me about the Happy Grass at White Pigeon Hospital."

"He thinks you're good, so ...... At the moment, we can continue to trade. ”

"Don't get me in too much trouble, though."

"Arthur!" Merman shouted.

"Yes!" Arthur walked to the door.

Merman stood up, walked up to Arthur and said:

"Send him out."

"By the way, tell the crew at the door, next time I will transport more happy grass, I will catch it all."

Arthur nodded.

Merman suddenly remembered something and said:

"Wait...... Arrest the captain of the Asuka first, I have something I want to ask him. ”
