Chapter 498 Night of Horror at the Museum

When Anthony turned his head and looked at the wall behind him, he saw a painting hanging on the wall—it was a monster that looked terrifying, ferocious, and could not be described in words. At this moment, it is opening its mouth wide, putting on a roaring posture, trying to pounce on Anthony!

This suddenly startled Anthony, and hurriedly took a step back. At this moment, Duanmuhuai noticed his abnormality, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

"What's wrong?"

"I saw a painting just now. The painting is quite scary. It almost frightened me."

Anthony breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the painting again, and then he froze for a moment.

Under the light of the flashlight, what was hanging on the wall in front of him was just an oil painting of sunflowers, but the monster he saw just now had completely disappeared!

"???"

Seeing this scene, Anthony was stunned.

What about painting?

"What's wrong?"

"The painting is gone. I just saw that it was a painting that a monster rushed over..."

Frowning, Anthony picked up the flashlight and scanned his surroundings. But the oil paintings around are all normal, some are painting apples, tulips, and roses, and they are basically paintings and plants. The monster that Anthony mentioned did not appear at all.

Am I wrong? impossible?

Contrary to Anthony's doubts, Duanmuhuai just glanced around lightly, and then spoke.

"If you're not mistaken, then I have an idea."

"what idea?"

"Perhaps, the monster that attacked humans is hidden in the painting."

"In the painting??"

"That's right."

Duanmuhuai nodded.

"We have checked the file before, and it is clearly stated that the time and place of the missing persons are different. The only thing in common is that they all disappeared when no one saw them. Then it means that this It is definitely not a problem with the exhibits in any exhibition hall, it is very likely that a certain monster uses some means to hide itself, and then attack the prey when it is alone."

While speaking, Duanmu Huai slowly looked around, looking at the decorations.

"So, how does the monster hide from being discovered? If it is possessed in some antique or decoration, then it is easy to detect. But if it is a painting, then it is different. After all, this There are oil paintings hanging all over the museum, assuming Sergeant Anthony, you read it correctly, then this guy is obviously trying to attack you by hiding in the painting."

"...I didn't expect you to think so much."

Anthony turned his head to look at Duanmu Huai in surprise. To be honest, after being shocked by Duanmu Huai's size, he had no doubts about Duanmu Huai's combat effectiveness. But on the other hand, Anthony doubted Duanmuhuai's abilities in other aspects. After all, generally speaking, people with strong bodies have straight heads. However, Anthony did not expect that Duanmuhuai could reason these things out just through his own words. You can even express your own conjectures.

To be honest, this kind of reasoning would be dismissed as a fantasy in other places, but as the person in charge of a U-level case, Anthony has experienced a lot of things that are a fantasy.

What is it to shuttle back and forth in the painting, he has seen weirder ones.

"So what are we going to do now, are we going to find that painting?"

"No, it's too troublesome."

Facing Anthony's proposal, Duanmuhuai shook his head in denial.

"There are so many paintings in this museum, and we don't know when we are going to find them, and since the other party has this ability, if not, it will set a trap for us and deliberately deceive us. So... Lead the snake out of the hole, kill it directly, and then go to see which painting has a problem.

“……………………”

Withdrawing the preface, this solution is indeed simple and crude.

"So, you mean, we have to act separately???"

Anthony is not calm now, the conscience of heaven and earth, even if he is the sheriff in charge of this aspect, it does not mean that he has any special superpowers. If he was asked to face the elusive monster alone, he would have to not panic to see hell!

Hearing what Anthony said, Duanmuhuai rolled his eyes, then reached out and took out something from his pocket and handed it to Anthony. After Anthony took it, he realized that it was a weird decoration with a Warhammer logo on it and a skull mark in the middle.

"This is??"

"Amulet, keep you safe."

“…………………………”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's explanation, Anthony twitched the corner of his mouth, lowered his head to look at the "talisman" in front of him, and the lifelike skull on it... Is this the amulet? Are you sure this is not a cursed item?

"Thank you then."

Anthony complained inwardly, and at the same time accepted Duanmuhuai's amulet. Although this thing is indeed evil no matter how it looks, Anthony has experienced many incidents, and he has seen a lot of weird things like it, such as lizard mummies, monkey claws, shriveled children's skulls... Folk religions like voodoo always come up with some weird amulets, compared to this, it's pretty normal.

Logically speaking, it would be a waste of time for two people to search the entire museum. Fortunately, the museum itself is not big, and there are only four exhibition halls in total. So the two agreed to start from the hall, walk to the left and right respectively, and then be responsible for searching the AB and CD exhibition halls, and then come to the hall to meet again.

To be on the safe side, the lights of the entire museum are turned on, and the museum can be said to be brightly lit. This somewhat relieved Anthony. He held the flashlight in one hand and pressed the gun on his waist with the other, while staring vigilantly at the wall in front of him. The oil paintings hanging on these walls are of course worthless, and there are even many donations from local or nearby universities. Of course, no matter how much it is worth, at least these oil paintings are not ashamed to hang up, and they can add some humanistic atmosphere to the museum.

Of course, because of this, the paintings hanging on the walls are also varied and have everything. Some paint landscapes, some paint flowers and plants, and even some abstract art that looks like a neuropathy... All in all, it is the neuropathy genre.

How good is this thing?

Looking at the oil painting titled "Dawn" in front of him, Anthony couldn't help complaining secretly. Although the title is "Dawn", this oil painting has nothing to do with light. It looks like someone painted white paper into black. Then I scribbled a few strokes of blue, yellow, and green on it like I was drunk... Well, if the person who made this painting is not in the museum, then Anthony is more inclined that he may be in prison for drinking .

There was nothing unusual in hall C. Anthony turned around, then walked out of the hall, stood in the corridor, and looked at the empty floors on both sides. He felt an indescribable tension and fear. To be honest, he felt that he was somewhat regretful at the moment, and he didn't know if that monster really existed...

While thinking wildly, Anthony entered Hall D.

However, the moment he walked into the exhibition hall and stepped forward, the situation suddenly changed.

The door of the exhibition hall, which was originally open, slammed shut without wind. This immediately startled Anthony, and he hurriedly turned to look at the gate, but before Anthony could go over to check, suddenly, the lights illuminating the entire exhibition hall went out. Not only that, but even the lights in the corridor outside and the exhibition hall opposite seemed to be completely extinguished at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, the entire exhibition hall became a box completely swallowed by darkness and wrapped. Only the light of Anthony's flashlight was still shining.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, Anthony was taken aback immediately. Although he was already mentally prepared for it, when everything actually happened, he still felt uncontrollable fear and tension. He hurriedly raised his hands, leaned against the wall, held the flashlight behind his back, and raised his pistol to aim ahead.

Under the dim light, Anthony couldn't see what was around at all. Right now, the entire exhibition hall seemed to be shrouded in a dark mist, and everything seemed blurred in it. And Anthony could feel his heart beating crazily, and an indescribable sense of tension and fear emerged, making him almost go crazy.

Gotta get out of here!

Anthony came to the window, raised his hand and tried to smash the glass to escape from here. However, his hand didn't hit the glass, a layer of solid yet soft barrier stood in front of him. Anthony's next move was completely prevented. Seeing this scene, Anthony raised his pistol without hesitation, and pulled the trigger at the window.

"boom!!"

Gunshots echoed in the gloomy exhibition hall before being completely engulfed in darkness. But there was not a single crack in front of his eyes, and he didn't even know where the bullet went.

At the same time, Anthony heard a strange sound of footsteps emerging from behind him.

"Da da da………"

He turned around hastily, raised the flashlight to shine in front of him, and at the same time clenched the pistol tightly, panting heavily. He wasn't sure if Duanmuhuai could hear the gunshots, and now the exhibition hall gave him a completely different feeling from before, and he even wondered if he had been swallowed into another space. Maybe other people disappeared in the same way, they were not there, but disappeared completely, and I would be like them?

The sound of procrastinating footsteps was getting closer, but Anthony still didn't see anything. He widened his eyes and looked around, trying to find a little bit of clues.

Then, he saw...

What a monster! !

The moment the flashlight shone on the black shadow, Anthony could see its appearance clearly. No, or rather, he didn't see what it looked like at all. Because even under the light of the flashlight, the outline of this monster can barely be seen clearly. It is like a transparent creature with only a few lines and shadows belonging to this world.

Fortunately, everything about it was transparent, so that Anthony couldn't see its appearance at all, but it was obvious that the monster was enraged, it let out a piercing, ugly roar, and suddenly accelerated towards Anthony. And in the process, its original translucent body also changed accordingly, showing its true posture!

"boom!!!"

Just as the monster was about to pounce in front of Anthony, a big hand clenched into a fist, suddenly emerged from behind Anthony, and then punched the monster, sending it flying!

"You finally showed up, dog bastard!"

At the same time, accompanied by a roar, Duanmuhuai stepped out of the shadows slowly.
