Chapter 276: Symbolism
The light, which appeared after everything plunged into darkness, shone on a painting that had a dark tone. It depicted a decaying human hand emerging from dry soil, twisted and ferocious. Its bone-exposed fingers reaching upward towards the murky sky above.
Even with just a hurried glance, everyone could sense the infinite sense of despair emanating from the entire painting. hZTbzd
As the light faded, the first thing everyone felt was a rush of heat. Not far ahead was a cluster of standalone residential buildings, scattered within a radius of around ten miles. Behind the residential area lay a dense and extensive forest.
It should have been a vibrant and lively place, but what everyone saw was an eerie silence.
All the houses were tightly shut with doors and windows closed. Every inch of the houses was covered in dust, and the window glass was obscured by accumulated dust, making the interiors appear dark when looking from the outside, as if they were entrances to hell.
Everyone observed in silence for a while until Luo Bu shivered and stammered, I feel like there might be something not so good in this painting oMvSEB
Has anyone seen the title and the artist of this painting? Wu You also asked anxiously.
The veteran members already had an unspoken understanding. Usually, the ones responsible for examining the visuals were the artist Wei Dong, the sharp-eyed Ke Xun, the rational and objective Zhu Haowen. Those in charge of examining the textual annotations were the ones involved in textual work, Shao Ling and the meticulous Qin Ci, while Luo Bu could just look wherever he could, and Mu Yiran was responsible for overseeing the overall painting.
So after Wu You asked, Shao Ling and Qin Ci had already answered her:
The title of the painting is Restart. K74OeT
Artist is Abel.
Wei Dong was puzzled, A foreign painting?
Did the painting incident spread to other countries? Wu You was nervous, If so, how long will it take us to search for the clues, a scope of the entire world is too big
Mu Yiran shook his head slightly, I have instructed my people and industry friends to keep an eye on developments in some foreign art galleries. So far, we have not found any signs of related incidents. Its unclear if this painting is from the hands of a foreign painter. Even if it is, it may only be because the painting was exhibited in this art gallery that it gained the ability to create a world within the painting. In any case, this is not important for now. We should not be distracted now; the most important thing at the moment is to figure out how to exit the painting. GwAX3t
Yiran is right, Ke Xun said, Restart, the meaning of starting everything over. Lets first look for clues from the title and the painting.
Shao Ling looked at Mu Yiran, Have you ever heard of this painting and its artist?
Mu Yiran succinctly uttered two words: Never heard.
It seems that the title and the image may not be related, Zhu Haowen continued with Ke Xuns topic, A decaying hand struggling to reach the sky may seem like a desperate fight for survival. Bbgdso
But if the hand is decaying to that extent, the person should already be dead Luo Bu shivered.
