Chapter 498 Horror Night in the Museum

Author: Xibeimao

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 extremely terrifying, ferocious, and indescribable in words. At this moment, it was opening its mouth.

He opened his mouth, put on a roaring posture, and tried to rush towards Anthony!

This immediately startled Anthony and he hurriedly took a step back. At this moment, Duanmuhuai noticed that he was abnormal and quickly withdrew his gaze.

"What's wrong?"

"I just saw a painting, and it was quite scary. It almost scared me."

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

Under the illumination of the flashlight, what he saw hanging on the wall in front of him was an oil painting of sunflowers, and the monster he just saw was completely missing!

"???"

Seeing this scene, Anthony was stunned.

What about painting?

"What's wrong?"

"The painting is gone. I just saw a painting of a monster rushing towards me..."

Frowning, Anthony picked up the flashlight and glanced around. But the oil paintings around him were all normal. There were paintings of apples, tulips, and roses. They were basically paintings and plants. There was nothing like what Anthony said.

That kind of monster appears.

Did I see it wrong? It’s impossible?

In contrast to Anthony's doubts, Duanmuhuai just glanced around briefly and then spoke.

"If you read it correctly, then I have an idea."

"what idea?"

"Maybe the monster that attacks humans is hidden in the painting."

“In the painting??”

"That's right."

Duanmu Huai nodded.

"We have checked the files before, and it clearly states that the time and location of the missing persons are different. The only thing in common is that they all disappeared when they were not seen. So that means that this

It’s definitely not something wrong with the exhibits in any exhibition hall, it’s very likely that a monster used some method to hide itself, and then attacked when the prey was alone.”

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai slowly looked around and looked at the decorations.

"So, how can the monster hide without being discovered? If it is possessing an antique or decoration, it is easy to detect. But if it is a painting, it is different. After all, this

There are oil paintings hanging everywhere in the museum. If you read it correctly, Chief Anthony, then this guy is obviously trying to attack you by hiding in the paintings."

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

Anthony turned 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 contrary, Anthony was very doubtful about Duanmu Huai's other abilities. After all, he was generally ordinary.

Generally speaking, people with strong bodies have straighter heads, but Anthony did not expect that Duanmu Huai could deduce these things just through his own words, and even express his own conjectures.

To be honest, this kind of reasoning would be dismissed as fantasy elsewhere, but as the person in charge of U-class cases, Anthony has experienced many fantasy things.

It's nothing to go back and forth in the painting, he has seen weirder things.

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

"No, it's too much trouble."

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 it. And since the other party has this ability, maybe it will set a trap for us and deliberately deceive us. So...

Lure the snake out of its hole, kill it directly, and then go and see which painting has the problem.

"……………………"

Withdrawal of the preface, this solution is indeed simple and crude.

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

Anthony is no longer calm now. He has a conscience. Even if he is the police chief in charge of this aspect, it does not mean that he has any special super powers. If he is to face the elusive monster alone, he must not panic.

!

Hearing Anthony's words, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes, then reached out and took out something from his arms and handed it to Anthony. After Anthony took it, he discovered that it was a weird decoration with a Warhammer logo on it.

, there is also the mark of the skull in the middle.

"This is??"

"Amulet to keep you safe."

“………………………………”

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

"Thank you then."

Anthony complained in his heart and accepted Duanmuhuai's amulet. Although this thing does look very evil, Anthony has experienced many incidents and has seen many similar weird things, such as the mummified lizards.

Ah, monkey's paws, shriveled children's skulls... Folk religions like voodoo will always come up with some weird amulets, but in comparison, this one is 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, with only four exhibition halls in total. So the two agreed to start from the lobby and go left and right.

Walk on both sides, and then search the AB and CD exhibition halls respectively, and then come to the lobby to meet again.

For safety reasons, the lights in the entire museum were turned on, and the museum was brightly lit. This somewhat relieved Anthony. He held the flashlight in one hand and pressed the gun on his waist with the other, while watching the scene in front of him warily.

Walls. Of course, the oil paintings hanging on these walls are not valuable, and there are even many donations from local or nearby universities. Of course, no matter how valuable they are, at least it is not shameful to hang these oil paintings, and they can be considered as gifts to the museum.

Add some humanistic flavor.

Of course, because of this, there are all kinds of paintings hanging on the walls, including everything. Some depict scenery, some depict flowers and plants, and there are even some abstract paintings that look like crazy... In short, they are the psychotic school.

What’s so good about this thing?

Looking at the oil painting titled "Dawn" in front of him, Anthony couldn't help but secretly complain. Although the title is "Dawn", this oil painting has nothing to do with light. It looks like someone painted white paper black.

Then he drew a few random strokes of blue, yellow, and green on it as if he was drunk... Well, if the person who made this painting is not in the museum, then Anthony is more inclined to think that he may be in jail because of alcoholism.

.

There was nothing unusual in exhibition hall C. Anthony walked around once, then walked out of the exhibition hall, stood in the corridor, looking at the empty floors on both sides, he felt an indescribable nervousness and fear. To be honest, he felt that he was

I regret it somewhat, and I don’t know if that monster really exists...

While thinking wildly, Anthony entered the D exhibition hall.

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

The door of the exhibition hall that was originally open made a "bang" sound, and suddenly closed automatically without wind. This immediately startled Anthony, and he hurriedly turned to look at the door. However, before Anthony could walk over to check what was going on, suddenly, the entire exhibition hall was illuminated.

The lights went out. Not only that, even the lights in the corridor outside and the exhibition hall opposite seemed to be completely extinguished at this moment.

In just the blink of an eye, the entire exhibition hall turned into a box that was completely swallowed up and wrapped in darkness. Only the light of the flashlight in Anthony's hand was still shining.

"Damn!!"

Seeing this scene, Anthony was immediately shocked. Although he had been mentally prepared for this, when everything actually happened, he still felt uncontrollable fear and tension. He hurriedly raised his hands, leaned against the wall, and reflected

Holding the flashlight, raise the pistol and aim forward.

Under the dim light, Anthony couldn't see what was around him at all. The entire exhibition hall seemed to be shrouded in a dark fog, and everything seemed blurry in it. And Anthony could feel his heart beating.

With the crazy beating, 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. However, his hand did not hit the glass. A seemingly invisible, strong and soft barrier blocked him completely.

Anthony's next move, seeing this scene, Anthony raised his pistol without hesitation, pointed at the window and pulled the trigger.

"boom!!"

The sound of the gunshot echoed in the dark exhibition hall, and then was completely swallowed up by the darkness. But there was no crack in sight, and even the bullet did not know where it went.

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

"Da da da………"

He turned around quickly, raised the flashlight to shine forward, and at the same time clenched the pistol, breathing heavily. He was not sure whether Duanmuhuai could hear the gunfire. The feeling of this exhibition hall was completely different from before. He

I even wonder if I have been swallowed up in another dimension. Maybe other people have disappeared in this way. They are not there, but have completely disappeared. Will I be the same as them?

The shuffling footsteps got closer and closer, but Anthony still didn't see anything. He stared wide-eyed and looked around, trying to find any clues.

Then, he saw......

What kind of monster is that!!

The moment the flashlight shone on the black figure, Anthony could clearly see what it looked like. No, in other words, he didn't see what this thing looked like at all. Because even under the light of the flashlight, he could only barely see it.

Clear the outline of this monster, it looks like a transparent creature with only a few lines and shadows belonging to this world.

Fortunately, everything about it was transparent, so Anthony couldn't see its appearance at all, but it was obvious that the monster was enraged. It let out a harsh, unpleasant roar, and suddenly accelerated towards Anthony.

During this process, its originally translucent body also changed, showing its true posture!

"boom!!!"

Just when the monster was about to pounce in front of Anthony, a big hand clenched into a fist and suddenly appeared from behind Anthony, then punched the monster and sent it flying away!

"You finally showed up, you bastard!"
