Chapter 160: Extra: The Chaotic World of Peace (Part 2)
In the empty hall filled with various paintings, a ghost-like man sat contemplating life.
He had been to the most remote mountain areas, the chaotic triple-border areas, and the closed internet addiction rehabilitation schools… Every time, everyone else thought he wouldn’t come back, but he always came back alive, and lived well.
This time…
With a dice in his hand, Lu Yanli silently recited in his heart: Odd numbers, go; even numbers, don’t go.
The dice rolled a 6. Lu Yanli reached out a finger and changed it to 5.
6 means smooth sailing. The odd number 5, he could go take a look.
He went upstairs to change his clothes, preparing to freeload food and drinks at Chu Xiu’s bar.
Lu Yanli: “…Forgot.”
Chu Xian complained, “You’re going to work yourself to death sooner or later.”
“What are you busy with?” Lu Yanli asked as he ate.
Chu Xian: “Preparing a new book, I have no inspiration.”
“Still a horror novel?”
“Yeah.”
Chu Xiu knew what was going on. Once Lu Yanli entered a state of being obsessed with painting and going crazy, let alone a phone, you could shout at his door with a loudspeaker and he might not hear you.
Lu Yanli took out his phone and found that there were indeed several missed calls: “Did she say what it was about?”
“Aunt didn’t say, she said Lin Chu was looking for you.”
“Lin Chu, she looked for me before.” Lu Yanli showed a creepy smile, “I’m preparing to take on a new job.”
Chu Xian sighed: “I’d rather you not find material like this.”
The Chu siblings often went to Lu’s house to play, so they were naturally familiar with the subordinates of Lu Yanli’s father who often went to Lu’s house. Because they were of similar age, their relationship was pretty good.
Sure enough, He Lou walked towards them, but… in just a few steps, he slowed down until it took him nearly three minutes to walk.
“Why is he always so afraid of you?” Chu Xiu saw that the other party looked reluctant and asked curiously in a low voice.
Lu Yanli: “Maybe I scared him.”
Hearing him explain the reason, the siblings’ expressions were indescribable.
“Long time no see.” He Lou greeted them politely. After receiving a loving and caring look, he sat in the booth one seat away from Lu Yanli before explaining the purpose of his visit.
To be precise, Lu Yanli’s father had changed his mind. He didn’t want his son to participate in dangerous matters too much anymore. But Lu Yanli’s phone wasn’t connecting, and he thought his son was just being stubborn, so he called He Lou to talk to him.
“So, you can have a good rest…”
Before He Lou could finish his words, Lu Yanli interrupted him with a smile: “Okay, I understand.”
He Lou’s eyelids twitched, feeling that the other party couldn’t possibly be so cooperative, but Lu Yanli didn’t show any resistance, smiling and saying okay no matter what he said. He comforted himself, perhaps it would be fine?
Lu Yanli: “I’m sick. Isn’t it normal for a mental patient to go to the hospital?”
“……..”
“Yeah.” Lu Yanli wouldn’t joke about his own life. “I’ll go after the art exhibition is over.”
Two days later, the art exhibition was held as scheduled, with a large number of people.
“An Xingyu, I didn’t expect you to like this style of painting.” In the gallery, Yi Zhenzhen asked curiously.
She and An Xingyu were in the neighboring class. Because their parents knew each other, their relationship was pretty good. This weekend was a rare holiday, and they had originally planned to buy books together, but An Xingyu changed his mind, saying he wanted to see an art exhibition. Yi Zhenzhen followed him out of curiosity.
She regretted it a bit.
The paintings in the entire hall had a gloomy and cold atmosphere. Yi Zhenzhen was a little scared, but An Xingyu was very interested in watching: “Yes, I know this painter too. His style is very special, and his understanding of life is very unique.”
“You actually know him?” Yi Zhenzhen’s eyes widened.
She was just about to complain that the painter who could paint such paintings might be psychologically dark, but when she heard that An Xingyu knew him and had a good relationship with him, she silently swallowed it back.
“Yeah, I knew him when I was little. My dad took me to his house.” An Xingyu seemed to notice something, turned his head, and pointed to the second floor, “Look, he’s over there.”
Lu Yanli was leaning against the railing, talking with other people. Hearing a familiar voice downstairs, he turned around and glanced down, the corners of his lips rising, and he waved to the excited child downstairs.
Yi Zhenzhen shrank her neck: Sure enough, this painter looks very scary.
“Not afraid?” Lu Yanli asked.
An Xingyu shook his head: “No, I think it looks very good.”
Lu Yanli smiled again. He could tell that the other party really liked it, not just being polite: “If you like it, I’ll give you one?”
“Can I?” His eyes lit up.
“Yay!”
“I think it’s okay.” An Xingyu gently stroked the outside of the packaged paper box. “I like it very much.”
“Okay, your taste is really unique.” Anyway, Yi Zhenzhen wouldn’t dare to hang a painting of an eye cracking open on a tomb in her room.
Opening the door, a huge picture of hell, enough to scare the courage out of anyone, came into view. The setting sun shone in through the window, and the red light of the sunset was sprinkled on the sea of raging flames.
The entire room was bright red.
On the screen, there was a place on the face of an evil spirit that was empty. Originally, Lu Yanli hadn’t thought about what kind of face to fill in, or simply blur it out. But now he had a new idea. As soon as the inspiration came, he started to work without even changing his clothes, gradually painting a clean and innocent face on the evil spirit.
Hell, filth and fire, a clean face, the contrast between evil and innocence.
Lu Yanli: “Really not…”
Her son often went to other places for many years, saying it was to collect scenery, but in reality, she didn’t know what dangerous things he was doing. She wanted to persuade him, but it was hard to persuade him, so she could only make up for it in other ways.
Lu Yanli had already taken a few steps, but hearing the reluctance in his mother’s words, he stopped and turned around.
“A month, just a month, then I’ll come home and live.” He gently hugged his mother, whose hair was already turning white, his tone relaxed, “Okay?”
“Okay, okay, hurry up and go, you brat.”
Lu Yanli carried a large bag of apples, his shadow stretched long by the setting sun, until even his shadow disappeared at the intersection, Lu’s mother went back into the house.
Since he was determined to resolve it as soon as possible, he wouldn’t procrastinate. Lu Yanli quickly bought a ticket and flew to the local area, and found the hospital that day.
In the past, he used fake identities, and this time was no exception. After changing his appearance and consulting with the hospital doctor. Although the instruments detected that there seemed to be nothing wrong with him, Lu Yanli successfully entered the mental hospital for observation based on a series of abnormal behaviors during his conversation with the doctor.
