Whispering Verse

Chapter 351: Inside and outside the picture

Just like before, Xia De also put the puppet pistol on the oil painting, it really melted in the picture, and then appeared at the door of the model house.

The puppet associated with Shad walked up to the pistol, but did not bend down to pick it up. Mr. Freeman's puppet also looked at the pistol, but didn't pick it up either.

"Certificate."

The priest thought for a while and suddenly said, Xia De suddenly realized that he also turned his MI6 ID and his gun certificate into puppets and sent them into the oil painting. The puppet corresponding to Shad first picked up the certificate, and finally bent down to pick up the toy pistol, and even made obvious movements of confirming the bullet with his fingers.

The puppet in the oil painting is not a replica or has any soul connection with the real person in reality, but can transfer the damage. The Marionette can't use the Ring Warlock ability like Shad, but the Marionette can at least shoot.

However, by passing the weapon in this way, the puppet Shade made can only be used by himself, and Freeman cannot also use it.

But that was enough, leaving Mrs. Freeman and the boy in the hall while Shade and the priest went upstairs with the painting.

In the oil painting, the gun puppet also moves towards the second floor of the model, and meets the bandage puppet in the living room on the second floor.

The oil painting couldn't make a sound, and the two people outside could only see the movement of the puppet raising the gun in the picture.

But it's a pity that even with a weapon like a revolver, a gun puppet still can't beat a bandage puppet. The opponent is not only tall, but also has excellent evasion ability, and when he is in the same room as the victim puppet, he can move within the model for a short distance. Even if he was shot, it didn't affect his movement at all, and he even gave Shade's puppet a knife.

So after the pistol's bullets were emptied, Xia De, who was injured again, could only temporarily return to the lobby on the first floor to escape.

And because of the fight just now, the bandage puppet has already arrived on the stairs, and it will take about half an hour to enter the hall.

Gun puppets throw papers and revolvers out of the model house, where they immediately emerge from the painted surface. Shard refilled the pistol, but did not reload it into the painting.

"The intelligence level of ordinary puppets is too low to compare with bandage puppets. I think your puppet needs other helpers."

said the priest suddenly.

"You mean Mr. Freeman and the little boy? Have them fight against my puppet?"

Xia De pointed to the two puppets snuggling together in the oil painting, shook his head and reminded:

"The boy is too weak, and Freeman's puppet, although intelligent, has too little strength."

"I mean myself."

The priest said calmly:

"I know you can't turn me into a puppet, but I can take the initiative to touch the painting so that there will be more puppets corresponding to me in the picture."

Xia De immediately shook his head:

"Priest Augustus, it may not be useful to have more people, but it will definitely put you in danger, I think..."

He looked at the pistol in his hand, and then at the oil painting.

The revolver was covered again with a handkerchief, but the volume of the wooden toy that appeared afterwards was almost exactly the same as the original one, not the size of a thumb.

Xia De threw the 1:1 wooden toy to the oil painting again, but this time the pistol did not appear in the house model, but appeared on the table next to the model, and the pistol in the picture returned to reality pistol. It's too big to fit into a house model at all.

The bold attempt made Xia De understand another rule, a puppet that is large enough to enter the house will remain in the form of a puppet and enter the house model. The puppets that are too large to fit into the house model will appear on the table and become the form of real objects.

"Can this gun still be taken out?"

Seeing this happening, the priest Augustus asked curiously.

Xia De shook his head to express that he didn't know. His eyes scanned the picture more carefully, and then he saw very light text on the curtain as the background in the oil painting.

The curtain itself is in the sun, and the color of this line of text is very similar to the curtain, so I couldn't find it in the first place:

[The inside and outside of the oil painting, the inside and outside of the painter. 】

When I read this line of text, I thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and read the text softly. Afterwards, Xia De's hand touched the oil painting, and that hand actually reached into the inside of the painting.

"oh?"

Priest Augustus looked at this scene curiously, and Xia De also frowned.

He first reaches out to touch his own pistol, before successfully retracting it from the frame.

"Does that mean..."

The priest whispered, Xia De nodded and stretched his hand into the screen again, but was stopped by the priest:

"I'm here this time."

He didn't ask how Xia De understood those strange characters. After all, Xia De had demonstrated the ability to know characters because of [Time and Space] in the study meeting before.

Shad told Priest Augustus the specific reading of those ancient letters, and the priest managed to put his hand into the picture after two attempts.

The hand reached out to the model of the house, and as expected, it was inaccessible, as if there was a glass cover on the outside of the model to block the priest's hand.

Then the priest reached out to the other items on the table, holding these items still could not touch the house model, but these items could be taken out.

But whether it's a vase, a rotten apple, a statue resembling the ancient **** [Distant Rift] or a small pendant, these are common items. So the two guessed that this was a test object thrown into the oil painting when the previous owner of the oil painting tried to fight against the house model.

It is still unknown, except for Shade's [Toy Manufacturing], what kind of production conditions are there for other puppets that can be thrown into oil paintings. In a certain sense, this painting has the function of turning puppets into real existence.

"I can't touch the model with my hands, should we think of something else?"

The priest fell into deep thought again, but Xia De had already found a way, with a relaxed expression on his face:

"Priest, please go out again, go to my house, and bring Mia."

Thinking of the cat at home, Xia De added:

"Oh, it may not be willing to let you hug it. You can tell it that something happened to me like last time, and then use clothes to lure it to the carriage."

Xia De handed over the keys of his house and the blood-stained coat. Seeing that the priest was still puzzled, he reminded:

"Priest, although we can put our hands into the painting, strictly speaking, we are still outside the painting, so we cannot touch the house model in the painting. When holding something in the painting, it is very likely that the thing It is judged to be the same thing as our body."

"In the oil painting? Outside the oil painting? Could your cat..."

The old priest smiled, nodded knowingly, told Xia De to be careful, and went out with the key and Xia De's coat.

While Priest Augustus was leaving, Shad also explained to Mrs. Freeman who was waiting by the side, telling her not to tell anyone about this matter after it was over.

Of course, Mrs. Freeman understands that it is not a good thing for her family to encounter a supernatural event, and it may affect the future marriage of the children if it is revealed. She immediately took her son and swore to God that she would not tell anyone about the whole thing.

But Xia De still thought, let Dr. Schneider come over when he has time, and let the psychiatrist use his ability to make the Freeman family forget all this.

Doctors cannot completely erase the memory, which would cause permanent damage to the brain. But he was able to blur the Freemans' memory of the event until, years later, they suspected it was just a dream.

For ordinary people, it would be good for them to forget about their contact with the mysterious and the extraordinary.

Counting the ride in the carriage and luring the timid and wary cat in the Place Saint Teresa, the priest spent more than an hour back and forth.

During this period, the bandage puppet in the model house has come to the hall from the stairs. In order to avoid it, Xia De used thaumaturgy to open the door of the landlord's house on the first floor, and went inside to temporarily hide.

Although it is a little bad to do this, the group will not mess with other people's things, so this is a last resort.

I don't know if it was because Xia De reached out and tried to touch the house model just now, which made the relic feel a greater crisis, and the bandage puppet moved faster again. Before the priest came back, he had blocked three dolls in the large bedroom on the first floor in the model.

Shade sent the pistol into the painting again, and the three puppets were forced to deal with the bandage puppets. The smaller puppet runs first, and the two larger puppets work together to wrap around the bandage puppet, and then leave the room one by one as in reality.

But even when three puppets fought against one, the bandage puppet still had the upper hand. Although Shad was not injured this time, the puppet that hosted Mr. Freeman's soul was seriously injured, because it had been protecting the puppet at all costs.

Fortunately, Mr. Freeman is dead, and the puppet in the picture is injured, but only injured.

"Did the father come back?"

For safety's sake, Xia De never let the little boy touch or watch oil paintings. But the child held by his mother felt that Mr. Freeman was protecting him.

When the group of three moved back to the second floor ~lightnovelpub.net~ the little boy was still looking around, as if expecting his father to suddenly walk out of the room with a smile. But it is impossible for that painter to come back. If he does come back, Xia De will be even more troubled.

In short, the oil painting seems to perceive that the people outside the picture have a way to deal with it, so it gives more power to the bandaged puppet in the picture.

As the bandage puppets moved faster, Shad and the boy affected by the relic became more and more dangerous. The whispering element of the relic is already affecting the boy. Even with Shad watching over him, if this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, it is probably the best result for the boy to become a lunatic.

Fortunately, Priest Augustus successfully brought Mia back.

Sure enough, the vigilant orange cat refused to be held by Priest Augustus, but followed the priest and jumped up the stairs. Seeing Xia De sitting in the living room, the cat jumped up excitedly.

Xia De, who had been nervous all this time, finally laughed when he saw the familiar cat. Holding Mia, he kept stroking the cat's head. The orange cat meowed, and with Xia De's stroking, its little furry head was also shaking, allowing him to touch it better.
