After breakfast, Mr. Si and the servants left, including Hei, but Hei kept looking back and looking at several players with unfriendly eyes.
Third Sister and Shi Qiu looked normal, Ruan Qing kept lowering his head and muttering about Brother Huang, the female player got up and left with a tut, the chair moving on the ground made a loud noise. The male player who had been silent all the time would pay attention to the actions of Third Sister and Shi Qiu from time to time.
The female player was the first to leave, she had made up her mind to eliminate Hei and take over, treasure and clues or whatever have all been thrown behind her mind.
Then Third Sister and Shi Qiu stood up, watching the two leave, the male player immediately chased after them.
After turning a corner in the corridor, Third Sister stopped and looked at the person behind her: "Something?"
The male player nodded quickly. He looked around to see if there was anyone around, carefully leaned over and whispered: "Cooperation?"
Third Sister and Shi Qiu looked at each other, then said: "Go back to the room to talk."
The male player nodded repeatedly, the three of them came to Third Sister's room. Considering that there's a player standing in the opposing camp, Third Sister used a shielding card to protect the safety of the conversation.
"Why did you suddenly propose cooperation?" Third Sister asked directly.
The male player sighed and said: "Because this copy is more difficult than I thought. Let me introduce myself first. My game name is Hong Feng. What are your appellation?"
"Third Sister, he is Shi Qiu." Third Sister said.
Hong Feng: "Is this you guy's first time to go through promotion dungeon ma?"
Third Sister replied: "No, have had this experience once."
Hong Feng sighed: "It's not my first time either. The last time I went through the promotion dungeon, I was so scared that I didn't sleep well for several days because I saw a corpse that was not a puppet for the first time. Then I was careless... The difficulty of the promotion dungeon was not high, so I thought it would be fine if I was careful this time."
Didn't expect that after a few days of coming in, he only saw the number of people decreasing. Not to mention clues, he didn't even have an idea how those people were eliminated.
"You can't be looking for us to cooperate because you have no other choice ba." Shi Qiu looked at Hong Feng with contempt, came to hug thigh?
"Let me make it clear that I don't have no clues at all!" Hong Feng immediately straightened his back. "I have searched the entire island these days and found nothing related to the treasure. There is a cross cemetery and a cave that swallows people on this island. There is nothing else. I suspect that the pirates' words are simply lies."
"Pirates?" Shi Qiu suddenly realized, "You mean the pirates mentioned by Mr. Si?"
Hong Feng nodded, "This is definitely a false clue."
Third Sister said, "Been roughly guessed it."
Hong Feng: "Although there are nautical charts and records of sailors and merchants who found this island, the documents are severely damaged. If it weren't for this piece of paper, I would have given up the search for pirate treasure three days ago." He sighed and took out the paper.
Third Sister and Shi Qiu leaned over to take a look. The yellowed paper was stained with black stains, covering up a lot of content, and they could only draw conclusions from the remaining words.
According to Mr. Si's words, plus the content of this paper, it is indeed easy to conclude that there were pirates on this island.
If pirates didn't exist at all, the trap was also too well hidden.
"The difficulty should be close to advanced dungeons ba." Third Sister murmured. Generally speaking, would anyone doubt it ma? At least it was because of this speculation that they gave up searching the castle and placed the main search target on the island.
Then they wasted a lot of time, so many people were eliminated, before they realized that something was wrong.
This is a tempo that didn't want anyone to pass the level at all.
"We have already thought that the existence of pirates might be fake." Shi Qiu asked, "Don't you have any other clues?"
"Of course there are." Hong Feng said immediately, "The clues behind are the main purpose of my cooperation with you."
Third Sister looked up at him.
Hong Feng subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Do you remember the three paintings in the living room ma?"
Shi Qiu nodded immediately. He still remembered the second painting, that person sitting in the bushes with the back naked.
"Before crossing over, I studied fine arts. Although oil painting is not my strong point, I still know something about it." Hong Feng continued, "So the first thing I noticed after entering the castle was the three oil paintings."
Third Sister asked: "Do you understand it?"
"It's hard to say whether I understand it or not. To appreciate a painting, you must first understand the theme." Hong Feng's eyes lit up slightly, "Paintings are the expression of the author's thoughts and feelings. By looking at the paintings..."
"Stop! Don't mention art appreciation, let's get to the point, okay?" Shi Qiu interrupted him immediately, "Tell me directly, what are those paintings expressing?"
Hong Feng coughed: "The first painting can strongly feel the emotional uneasiness, the strong contrast between red and blue colors, the empty sky and the dark little people, the embodiment of inner emptiness. The second painting should want to express desire and freedom.
Third sister: "What are you concern about?"
Hong Feng pinched his chin: "His posture, is like something grabbing him in the bushes, forced to show desire and freedom? Longing for freedom in captivity? Without knowing the author's identity and background, it's hard to speculate."
Shi Qiu's cheeks flushed slightly: "A woman in captivity, makes people think about it…"
"That's a man."
Shi Qiu's expression was stiff: "… Huh?"
Hong Feng nodded: "A man."
Shi Qiu stared: "It's just a back view, how did you tell that?"
Hong Feng: "There are some subtle differences between the male and female figures at the shoulders. It may be difficult to tell when they are wearing clothes, but if they show muscles, I won't be fooled. That painting clearly depicts that subtle difference." He is indeed an art student and has painted countless nude models.
Shi Qiu: …
Can you not point it out? Give people a little fantasy!
Third Sister: "What about the last one ne?"
Hong Feng shook his head: "The last one is too difficult. Without knowing the author's identity and background, what can you expect me to see from a large expanse of blue waves? I only know that blue represents melancholy."
Shi Qiu: "Since the paintings have been interpreted, what else do you want to cooperate with us on?"
"I don't want to cooperate on the interpretation of the content of the painting. Although I think the content of the painting is very important, what is more important is the bottom of the painting!"
Third Sister: "What do you mean?"
Hong Feng said: "Do you know the wet-on-dry ma? It is to use the layer coating method to color on the dry base color without seeking the penetration effect. It is very suitable for beginners and can also show clear body structure and rich color layers..."
"Speak human language." Shi Qiu said expressionlessly, "Just tell us what's wrong with those three paintings."
Hong Feng: "...The thickness of the oil paint in those three paintings is beyond the average. I think the bottom of the painting is There is hidden content."
"Hidden clues?" Third Sister understood, "You want to steal the painting. Can't you do it yourself?"
Hong Feng shook his head: "I found something wrong with the portrait not long after I came here. I thought about stealing the painting, but I don't have a good card, and servants pass by the living room every now and then, I don't have time."
Third Sister: "You asked us to help steal the painting."
Hong Feng nodded: "I need you guys, you also need me if you want to know what is hidden under the oil painting. Even if the content below is coated with a protective layer, people who are not skilled in the technique may scratch the content below together. I have no problem. When I was studying art, I often used a scraper to modify the work, so I am very experienced."
Shi Qiu looked at Third Sister, Third Sister nodded: "Okay, then just cooperate ba."
Anyway, it's a dead end, it's better to take a gamble. The clues hidden so deeply can't be a pit ba.

"No new cards." After seeing Rong Zheng coming back, Bai Leshui said to him with a bitter face, "Is your speculation wrong? One-tenth of the strength does not refer to the card, but pure strength?"
"Impossible." Rong Zheng immediately denied this possibility, "It's too little to gain, it's meaningless."
Bai Leshui: "One-tenth of the strength is not a small amount ba."
Rong Zheng: "How much weight can you lift with one hand?"
Bai Leshui thought for a while: "I haven't measured it carefully, but I have lifted 50
"Then according to the weight of 70 catties of ordinary people, one-tenth of the strength is just an increase of 7 catties, the strength has not actually increased much." Rong Zheng said, "And you can't actively attack people, what's the point of adding strength ma?"
Since the card is set up like this, can't add some attribute values that are not used at all, this is unreasonable.
Bai Leshui was speechless.
Rong Zheng touched Bai Leshui's head soothingly, used the card [Death List] directly, scanned it carefully from top to bottom, and said: "Not here."
Bai Leshui: "Huh?"
"The person you designated with the card [Sacrifice] was not eliminated." Rong Zheng replied.
Bai Leshui's eyes widened: "So lucky?"
"He must have used a life-saving card ba." Rong Zheng took out another card [Mark You]. Fortunately, he had used this card to mark Huang Pi before, and now he just used it to check Huang Pi's position on the map.
But when he opened it, his face immediately darkened.
The small yellow dot showing Huang Pi's position, was actually located in the middle of the castle map, in the tall tower.
Rong Zheng didn't want to investigate how he got in, he just wanted to know what Huang Pi saw in the middle of the tower after a whole night.
No matter what he knew or saw, he must not be allowed to leave the tower and contact other players.
Bai Leshui looked at Rong Zheng who stood up suddenly and asked in confusion: "What happened?"
"Nothing." Rong Zheng said to Bai Leshui with a smile, "It will take a little time to catch the person who escaped last night. You wait here for me."
Bai Leshui: "Before you came, Hong You came to suggest that I go out for a walk." Maybe she couldn't stand him, as an important NPC, staying in the bedroom all the time.
Rong Zheng: "...Then go to the living room and wait for me ba." The only place in this castle where Bai Leshui can stay without seeing the tower is the lobby on the first floor.
Bai Leshui: "Oh."
Although he doesn't understand why he has to specify that place, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter where he goes ne.
The author has something to say:
Shi Qiu: Won't talk about art with art student again.
