Chapter 136: Xia Yang's Portrait

A voice from the taboo zone? Is our teacher inside the taboo zone? Class 13 had a new educational method. Their teacher gave them the homework from another room over. The art teacher didnt mention any punishment for failing the homework, but everyone knew it wouldnt be good.

The windows and doors of Room 2103 shut off. A clock hung above the blackboard. The number on the clock face was minuscule. The needles were crooked and moved in a strange manner.

The doors arent locked, but they cant be opened. Xi San tried the doors. He held the pencil and paced around.

Thats so annoying. Can you stop? Du Bai wanted to splash the paint on Xi San.

All five paintings look like a crazy person made them. How can we find the specific one? Xi San ignored Du Bai and came to check on the others. In reality, most of the students were lost too. They didnt dare to make guesses. In the past, they might fail if they guessed wrongly, but at this place, they might die.

Gao Ming, which painting do you think was made by a crazy killer? Liu Yi and Wang Jie were smart. They both came to Gao Ming.

There were two psychiatrists in class. Zuo Bo was mad. The other was Gao Ming. He was the class hope.

All five paintings describe the same scenario of students sitting in class. For the first painting, the students are depicted using the simplest lines. The painter tried their best to reconstruct the original scene.

For the second painting, the seconds were blackened by the painter. The brush strokes were so strong that they almost ruined the canvas. This is a sign of aggression. The painter should be someone aggressive. If hes the killer, then it is a crime of passion. That doesnt fit the definition of a crazed killer.

The third painting is the most special. It is the only painting to use a lot of colours. The tables, chairs, blackboard and lights in the classroom were painted red. The students were drawn in black lines and then supplemented with red paint. This painting is visually impactful. Its presentation is more from the victims perspective. I only sense anxiety and pain in this painting. There is no exciting.

The fourth painting is the most professional. Its like a photograph of the original scene. The brush strokes are as sharp as a knife. Every students expression is so lifelike. The techniques employed are highly impressive, but they dont reflect anything of the painter. Or rather, the painter has perfectly hidden his real thoughts.

Gao Ming couldnt confirm if Xia Yang were dead or not. He couldnt be alive because he had a corpse. He couldnt be dead because his corpse had drawn him out. Xia Yang was dead-like.

The tip of the pencil touched the canvas. Gao Ming started to mimic the fifth painting. He drew very fast. It was like he didnt even need to think. However, as he drew, he noticed a problem. His hand that held the pencil appeared to be controlled by some kind of force to keep drawing.

Why did you stop drawing? Xia Yangs voice suddenly appeared in his right ear. Gao Ming turned to the right. Wang Jie held the pencil like a knife. His eyes were red, and his soul appeared to be sucked into the painting.

The other students didnt look so well either. Their bodies leaned forward like they wanted to crawl into their paintings.

The scariest thing was as they completed their paintings, the artroom where they were started to change. It became the classroom in the paintings.

They are drawing the moment they were killed. Xia Yangs voice returned. Gao Ming took out the death portrait.

Gao Ming lowered his head to look. He noticed that Xia Yangs portrait had changed. Xia Yangs corpse was painting but he wasnt painting himself but the students of Class 13.

On the canvas, the storm slammed against the window. The sky darkened. There was blood all over the artroom. The students were scattered on the ground like puzzle pieces. Only Gao Ming stood alone in the middle.

Ill make sure youre the only one who survives.

The other students wouldnt have expected that while they were pondering how the art teacher would punish them, Gao Ming had already murdered them in the death portrait.

This troubled Gao Ming too. He hadnt figured out how to deal with the art teacher next door and a new problem arose with Xia Yangs death portrait.
