Chapter Seventy-Three: Superstar and Gray Veil (Don't Stop Recommending Tickets~)


The painting shows a sailboat running aground on the coast, the moon in the sky obscured by the dark clouds brought by the approaching storm, but the soft moonlight still shines on the earth through the gaps in the dark clouds.Distant lightning and thunder pierced the darkness of the sky, and the electric light gave the nearby clouds an orange-yellow color.A group of sailors were pulling ropes on the rough shore to hold the ship, and several people on the lookout were following the ropes to climb ashore.The waves of bubbles in the sea crashed against the rocks on the shore, splashing higher than a person.Some were busy pushing the ship's cargo from the shore, others were busy caring for the wounded, and others were with their hands outstretched, as if to denounce the bad weather.Although the painting by Freya is still lacking in skill, it depicts the desperation of the characters.Freya told Eisen about the paintings in the showroom, and she seemed to enjoy the process.Eisen quietly listened to Freya finish her journey in the early stages of creation."

So, in fact, in addition to the works here, you have about 2,000 paintings before and after?"

Eisen asked."

Well, it's just a small part here, and most of the rest has already been destroyed by me.A lot of people call me a genius, but I just draw what I see. ”Freya said, pointing to the row of paintings behind her.From those paintings, you can see that Freya has developed her own style, just like the one in the same hall, which can make people uneasy when they see it.Eisen looked at the paintings in the back row, and even saw that several of them were covered by a large black cloth."

What do you see?

What does that mean exactly?

”Eisen casually pointed to a work that Freya had created independently instead of copying, and asked, "Shouldn't such a picture exist in reality?"

”It was the image of a white stork flying in a blue sky, but the white stork had two piercing eyes on its wings."

I would often dream of strange dreams, and then I would draw what I remembered."

Freya hesitated, "After all, I'm actually copying.Ay.If you don't believe me, you're going to be a lunatic. ”But Eisen nodded, and he looked at Freya with an affirmative look and said, "I believe in you.Because lately I've been having these weird, absurd, and disturbing dreams. ”Eisen looked at Freya's paintings, and the terrifying and panicked feeling was the same as the oppressive feeling in a dream.The paintings present are all in the ordinary scene with some strange elements to create a terrifying atmosphere, but it is still within the acceptable range, but the other three paintings covered by black cloth can already feel the tremor and horror when you glance at that place with your eyes.Freya walked over to one of the easels and suddenly lifted the black cloth that covered it, revealing the true face of one of the paintings.It was the starry sky in the sky, a corner of the Milky Way.The stars struggled to shine in their glory, but were absorbed by an ominous and large star.Although the picture is still, it gives the viewer the impression that the giant star is moving aimlessly.It's not just an ordinary planet, but it feels like it's alive; On the surface of the planet there are several eyeballs of various sizes and no eyelids, and below the largest eyeball there is a large cracked slit, and a long tongue sticks out of the slit, licking it, and rolls up a star to send it into the slit.The lilac gas rose from this strangely shaped planet, and it was like the breath on this giant star, and you could feel that it was highly poisonous at a glance.The surrounding stars have a sense of being unable to escape, and the fear of the giant star is displayed from the dimness of the light, and this fear of the unknown of the universe, the Milky Way, and the starry sky is implanted in the viewer's mind."

I call this painting the Infernal Star, a fitting name, isn't it?"

Freya said quietly.1 Eisen was speechless by the shock of what was in the painting, if his dream was only the destruction of the individual, then the picture in Freya's dream was absolutely the end of the world.If such a planet were to come here, humanity would not be able to resist at all, and could only watch in despair as the whole world was swallowed up.Eisen understood why Freya had such severe dark circles and looked so haggard."

It's hard to dream like this all the time, right?

I had dreams like this for two days and I couldn't stand it. ”Eisen, driven by empathy, uttered such words of pity.Freya didn't speak, just nodded, and lifted another piece of black cloth.The background is a dimly lit space that resembles the underground, and in the middle of the picture is a light projected through a door and a back.Faintly you can see that this is the back of a humanoid, with slender limbs, but it seems to be covered with a thin light veil of light gray.The back of the figure is not sitting, but rather gliding or floating in the blurred space.It seems to be guarding something and hiding something, but no one knows or understands its secrets.2 "This is the painting of the gray recipient, which was completed last month. ”Freya explained.Eisen found that this painting did not seem to be as dark and hopeless as the previous paintings, but instead presented a sense of intellectual mystery."

The one you see in the side hall is called the shadow in the church.These paintings belong to my own collection, and I am most satisfied with them, so they have not been sold.It's a pity that one was stolen some time ago, and it originally belonged to the dog on the last shelf. ”After finishing speaking, Freya pointed to the last easel that had not lifted the black cloth, and left the exhibition hall with Eisen.Freya arranged for Eisen to wait in her room first, mentally prepared for what was to come."

I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes."

Freya gave a rare mischievous expression, and then let Eisen sit in her room and go to the shower by herself.Aisen was a little entangled in his heart, although the original intention of coming here today was to vent his pressure and emotions, but after everything today, he had contradictory emotions.Eisen seemed to have lost that instinct in his heart, which was an extremely abnormal thing; If it were a normal day, Eisen would have taken off his shirt in high spirits, exposed the toned muscles in his chest, and then lay on the bed waiting for the beauty to come, but he didn't.He folded his hands, propped his elbows on the desk, rested the palm of his left hand on the back of his right hand, and supported his chin with the back of his left hand.In a few moments, Freya walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a thin bath towel, with sparkling water droplets in her hair."

What a beautiful woman out of the bath."

Eisen thought silently in his heart.
