Shocked, Li Chengfeng spun around to look at Chuchu. "Did you see the painting by the stairs just now?"
Chuchu quickly walked over to Li Chengfeng and saw that the painting on the wall was empty. The painting was gone!
Chu Chu said in surprise, "Strange, wasn't he there just now?"
As she spoke, she turned to the maidservants standing outside the door and asked, "Which one of you took that painting away?"
The maidservants looked at each other and shook their heads. "Other than Miss Chu Chu who brought a few guests here, I didn't see anyone else come here."
Chuchu was even more puzzled, but Li Chengfeng could not help but feel that something was off.
"Maybe it was a prank by the servants who hid the painting …" Chuchu glared at the maids outside the door, then smiled apologetically at Li Chengfeng.
Before he could speak, he heard Beauty Yu say from the tea room behind him, "Are you talking about this painting?"
Shocked, Li Chengfeng whipped his head around to see Beauty Yu walking to the wall at the side of the tea room to look at the painting hanging on the wall. Even from afar, Li Chengfeng could clearly see that it was the same painting they saw downstairs!
Beauty Yu was sizing up the painting. She clicked her tongue in wonder and said, "Good brushwork, good painting skills!
Who drew this? "
Chuchu was startled and said, "How did the painting go there?
Miss, didn't you draw it? "
Liu Sumei had just arrived, so naturally, it wasn't drawn by her. These customers had been here for a long time, so naturally, it wasn't drawn by them either. From Chuchu's point of view, it could only be drawn by Beauty Yu. But now … she realized that it wasn't drawn by Beauty Yu!
Beauty Yu said curiously, "Of course it wasn't drawn by me, I can't even compare to this!" As she said this, she looked at Liu Sumei and smiled, "Was it sister Liu's masterpiece?"
Liu Sumei stared at the painting. She also noticed that something was wrong. She shook her head and said, "I haven't painted in two years."
Beauty Yu reached out for the painting when Li Chengfeng quickly said, "Wait!"
Li Chengfeng walked in quickly and studied the painting carefully. To his horror, he realized that in the painting … there were four more people besides Liu Sumei and the eight guests!
These four people were none other than Li Chengfeng, Liu Sumei, Little Bell and Chuchu!
This shock was no small matter!
Li Chengfeng had goosebumps all over his body. A chill ran from his feet to his head!
Oh no!
Was he under an illusion?
Li Chengfeng suddenly knocked on Liu Sumei's door. She was already beside him, staring at the painting with a frown. She whispered, "It's not an illusion!"
"Then?!" whispered Li Chengfeng. "This painting … is not right!"
Beauty Yu looked at Li Chengfeng, then at Liu Sumei. She too felt something was amiss, so she forced a smile. "Sister, did you notice something … strange about this painting?"
Liu Sumei nodded and said, "Very strange!"
Li Chengfeng's expression darkened. "Very strange!"
Everyone else in the tea room gathered around curiously. The scholar took a closer look and could not help but snicker. "I was wondering what it was!
So it's Elder Wu's style!
It's a pity that this painting is too meticulous, too full of craftsmanship. What a pity, what a pity! "
As he spoke, the man with the vulgar smile could not help but say, "I think this painting is very lifelike … look, the person can move!"
The scholar laughed heartily. "No matter how lifelike the person in the painting is, how can he move?"
As soon as he finished, he suddenly stared at the painting, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets!
Because he realized that the person in the painting was actually moving!
Everyone watched as the man in the second position on the right of the painting walked out from his position. The man in the painting came to the middle of the tea room and twisted his limbs in a strange way!
Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at the person in the painting. After dancing for a while, the person in the painting actually lit up. Then, the person in the painting emitted a raging fire and spontaneously combusted!
Although there was no sound, everyone watched as the man in the painting writhed and struggled in the painting. Very quickly, he was burnt to a crisp!
The blood-curdling screams seemed to reverberate horribly in their ears!
Silence was better than sound!
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded!
Even Liu Sumei felt a chill run down her spine, and her hair stood on end!
The scholar was so scared that his face froze. He stared at the vulgar man beside him and stammered, "You, you …"
The vulgar man was clearly scared out of his wits. He looked around in horror and saw everyone looking at him. He could not help but scream, "This … this is a demon technique, a demon technique!
That's right, it must be a demon technique! "
Then, he suddenly charged forward and tore the painting off the wall like a madman. Then, he tore the painting into pieces in two or three moves!
"No!"
Li Chengfeng did not even manage to stop him. He screamed and watched as the man laughed out loud after he tore the painting apart.
"This is just a demon technique. If I tear this painting, then … then … then …" His voice trembled as he spoke. He sounded like he was about to cry.
He realised that the torn painting had turned into countless pieces of paper flying towards him. They stuck to his body and wrapped around him tightly!
"I … I can't breathe, I … I can't breathe!"
The man could not help but scream. He reached out to the others and screamed for help, "Help, help me!"
The customers in the tea room all retreated in fear, afraid that he would touch them and get into trouble.
Then, the man looked at Li Chengfeng and the rest and reached out, crying, "Help!"
Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth and was about to step forward when Liu Sumei pulled him back!
She shook her head at him. "We don't know what's going on, don't act rashly!"
Li Chengfeng raged, "Are we just going to sit back and do nothing?"
Liu Sumei said in a low voice, "I've never heard of something like this before!
If you act rashly and get yourself into trouble, no one can save you!
You can't save anyone else either!
At this moment, we should deal with it calmly and think clearly about what is going on! "
Li Chengfeng knew that Liu Sumei was right, but he could only watch as the man was wrapped up in countless pieces of paper. His body began to twist and dance, step by step, he walked to the center of the tea room. His arms and legs were dancing in a strange posture, but his face was covered in tears. His cries were chilling, until he suddenly stopped. His eyes bulged, and his throat made a strange, horrifying sound, "I … I don't want to die …"
Then, the paper on his body suddenly burst into flames, then his entire body!
Li Chengfeng looked at Liu Sumei and yelled angrily, "Can't you put out the fire?!"
Liu Sumei made a hand seal and pointed at the ball of fire. Suddenly, her expression changed and she shook her head at Li Chengfeng, her voice tinged with fear. "No, it's useless!"
The person in the painting had strangely and silently burned to death on the spot. This time, the man let out a terrifying scream as he was burned to death. Everyone in the Beauty Restaurant shuddered in fear!
What was even more terrifying was that the fire did not spread, not even the carpet in the tea room was lit on fire!
It only burned the man into a pile of charcoal. Then, the ashes of the paper slowly gathered together and formed the painting in front of everyone's eyes!
But this time … there was one less person in the painting!
At this time, everyone in the painting had the same shocked and frightened look as before!
