Chapter 77: I don't know its shape (4K two-in-one)
"That's probably what happened. I met him by chance on the way back from the countryside. I grabbed a car and chased Benjamin. His strength was already at a relatively high middle level. After he was forced outside the guardrail of the bridge, he couldn't escape from me, and I couldn't.
There was nothing I could do to stop him from jumping into the river, but this half-crazy guy was very unwilling to suffer in the stinky water, so he told me the secret knowledge. Of course, in the end, I kicked his car out."
Fan Ning took his time and shared the story he had just made up with the senior management of the Special Inspection Bureau in the "Chaotic Sky Level".
During this period, he felt Pogorelic watching his spirit body from all directions, as if he was observing whether his emotions were affected by the narrative content.
"What you mean is," He Meng paraphrased and confirmed his core information, "if the material and technique of a painting can have a mystical connection with the 'Gate of Seven Lights', then it is going through a specific process.
After that, it will sublimate into the layer of will that moves matter into the world?"
"Yes."
"The painting that Prudence Auction House thought before actually entered the migration. Although I don't know the location of the secret realm of migration, I infer that it is likely to drift here."
"There are also two works that Benjamin acquired at a country gentleman's house, but were destroyed by you during the battle?"
"Yes, but as mentioned before, the work is not unique, as long as it meets the mystical connection."
Not only did Fan Ning's process have a prototype origin, he did not even hide this key knowledge, because there were too many people present who had more occult knowledge than himself.
"How can we ensure the authenticity of what the Harmony School says?" several participants asked.
"So I brought the information back for everyone to judge." Fan Ning responded calmly.
"The possibility is very high." He Meng pondered for a moment, "I suddenly remembered a certain extraordinary item that was put into the seal room of the Special Patrol Department a few years ago. If I remember correctly, it happened to be in the Ufranser branch. The appearance of the item
It’s a painting called The Room of Pain.”
"The content of that painting is an indoor sketch of a delivery room and delivery bed. The artist was found dead in a hotel room, with his whole body dissolved in the bathtub, leaving only his head floating in the liquid. At that time, it was thought that it had living characteristics, and after being admired for a long time
It infects people's dreams and emerges from their bodies. It was finally confiscated at an auction at the Mecklen Free Museum. The owner was a banned person related to the Pleasure Listening Club and was shot."
Fan Ning was moved when he heard this. Benjamin had indeed said that the "Painful Room" was covered with black cloth in the sealing room, and the people in the Special Patrol Office were afraid that it would escape.
It seems that they had reported this matter to He Meng.
In the "Holy Fountain Tantra" volume of the Oakmont Manuscript, Fanning noticed that the author of the document left a secret transmission in the appendix that could lead "the right work to the right place", which may be of this nature.
More dangerous paintings.
"The 'style' of an artist and the 'style' of a work of art may follow similar characteristics." Pogorelic, who had been listening to the exchanges between several people, suddenly said something mysterious that was beyond Fan Ning's understanding.
He began to arrange the work: "... Regarding the 'disaster' and production safety issues, the investigators will not make any substantial intervention for the time being. Let the foreign coordinators of the Special Patrol Office and the Bologna School handle it on their own. It is rare for these two groups of new and old nobles to be found.
Cooperate for a common cause...Miss Norma Gunn, what I need is for you to find the key clue to the 'Coincidence Door' first."
"Understood, Mr. Leader." The woman in a black palace dress saluted with respect along with several high-ranking and knowledgeable people she led.
"... Regarding the 'Hidden Lamp' and the 'Fountain in the Painting', the heads of each branch of the empire are checking the mystical tendencies of art works in each county. According to my guess, the name of 'Seven Lights' may be a metaphor for the need to open the door.
Focusing on the mystical paintings corresponding to the seven phases... If anything happens during the investigation, report it to the corresponding inspector general. For other inspector generals who are not present today, Rudolf Homon will relay it on your behalf."
"Understood, Mr. Leader." He Meng took the lead, and the voice of "Vasius" was mixed in with that of several others.
"...Focus on the investigation of the Uvranser County area, such as Prudence Auction House, Turner Art Museum, etc." Pogorelic emphasized.
Of these two places, one has just finished renovating the fire and is preparing to resume business, and the other... will not be long either.
"...Understood." Fan Ning's movements stiffened for a moment, and his response was slightly slower than others.
"Carolen Van Ning...is that his name? How is he doing after he was promoted to the Knower?"
He must have thought of something along the lines of the Turner Museum of Art, Pogorelic asked after recalling for a moment.
Time is extremely tight, and a large number of matters and information reported from all levels below continue to consume the leader's energy. He is making analysis, scheduling and decision-making all the time, and... studying or fighting the never-ending mysteries from above.
The things on Fanning's line are important things, but there may be dozens or hundreds of things that are equally important.
...What are you afraid of? Fan Ning moved his eyes slightly. When he felt the pain of the knife cutting through his skin and eyeballs, he found that He Meng was looking at the heavenly ladder where he was, so he had to say: "I have been paying attention to him.
In the trend of Ufranser, he loves art, has good talent, and is promoted very quickly. He also has the enthusiasm common to newcomers for investigating mysterious events. He has underground gatherings of forbidden people, the secret base of the Pleasure Listening Club, and the fantasy school of reconciliation.
He was involved in the Man's Secret Ritual and the Prudence painting burning incident, and has basically become the backbone of the school's branch in Uvranser..."
It feels weird to praise yourself, but if you want to mention the key points in one go, you must be realistic and detail other insignificant points.
In particular, there are some keywords that he is afraid of. Since the Special Inspection Office is paying attention to them, He Meng will help him mention them even if he does not mention them. It is better to take the initiative to do them, such as...
"I also had some contact with him in the wrong time and space of the 'Hidden Light'... In short, he should have suspected that Vincent or the Turner Art Museum had other secrets, and had conducted investigations, especially in the study of sound sequences.
A lot of effort was put into the remaining volume, but most of the energy was spent on using materials to compose music, such as the following premiere at the Summer Arts Festival..."
Pogorelic nodded.
He Meng was quite satisfied with the concise and concise report that Vasius made to the leader this time. He decided to ask for instructions on a key issue that he would encounter immediately:
"Mr. Leader, the preparations for the nomination of the 'Boethius Artist', from condolence activities to the summer art festival... If Fan Ning enters the inspection field, as the representative of the Special Inspection Office in the inspection team, I should seek truth from facts.
, or treated differently?”
Pogorelic was unexpectedly silent for half a minute, and then asked: "According to your judgment, what height has his 'character' reached now?"
...Why is it this word again? Fan Ning finally found something interesting. What does "ge" mean?
He vaguely felt that in addition to the new role of "green card" in recent years, the birth of the "Boethius Artist" selection mechanism may have something to do with this "grid".
He Meng also thought for half a minute, and then replied cautiously: "The most conservative evaluation is at the second level, which corresponds to the 'Bridegroom' or the 'Sower', and may even be infinitely close to the third level, the 'Blade Holder'."
"Are you sure?" Norma Gunn, who was standing silently on the stairs on the other side, suddenly said, "...How old is this person?"
As she opened her mouth, Fan Ning found that half of the people's eyes were looking at He Meng, and the other half were looking at herself.
At first, he was a little instinctively frightened, but then he realized that these people were not looking at "Fanning", but the person directly responsible for Fan Ning's intelligence, investigator Vasius.
"23 years old." He Meng replied, "After the news of the premiere of his "Symphony No. 1" spread in the music industry, I asked Uvranser for more complete information."
He Meng immediately made a supplementary explanation: "Carolen Van Ning was born into an artistic family, but her early education was in fine arts. Her musical training was more systematic than that of a hobbyist, but far less than that of a music family..."
But this person values theory, loves to study, has humanistic qualities, and knows how to use reason to control inspiration. He spent four years in college doing pure music research in obscurity. This may be the reason why he was later promoted to a knowledgeable person, and it is also the reason why he finally emerged in the past year.
.”
"In the past year, from the impromptu performance of "Fantasy Impromptu" to the music salon's "Death and the Maiden", to the premiere of "Symphony No. 1" which was regarded as a legendary experience by those who experienced it... the art world generally believes that the latter is not only
He has broken through the vocabulary limits of romanticism, and has formed his strong personal style. There is even a prophetic comment that impressed me deeply——"
He Meng's memory of this sentence is very complete: "In fact, when we appreciate Carolne Van Ning's subsequent symphony works in the future, we may find that as early as the First Symphony, he has already initially formed
All the personal traits he should develop."
Because throughout the history of music, there are too few artists whose first symphony has received such a huge response.
"After graduation, he became the permanent conductor of the Santa Lenia Symphony Orchestra. Since then, he has performed in the imperial capital. The early box office sales of the concert set a record of the fastest sell-out at a rare high price. If the live effect of "Violin Concerto in E minor" can be
In line with people's expectations for radio, Fan Ning's artistic achievements, public recognition, media evaluation, market response...all dimensions are no longer at the level of a 'young composer' in the period of style exploration, but a mature 'famous composer'
', which is the third level of 'blade wielder'."
"Vasius, is there anything you need to add?" He Meng finally asked.
"Mr. He Meng said it very comprehensively," Fan Ning said quickly.
What can Vasius have to add? He couldn’t even sum it up as well as the Special Inspectorate.
"In that case, why not seek truth from facts?" Pogorelic asked after hearing this.
He rarely smiled calmly: "I have always stressed to you that artists are the most difficult group to manage in the world, but they are also the most crucial group in the current situation. We really need high-level 'character'
…”
"As you said, at the age of 23, an artist who is infinitely close to the height of the 'Blade Holder', if he can continue to improve under our attention, maybe within three to five years, his 'Q' will be upgraded to
'Forged Lion' was nominated, and with the help of the 'Boethius Artists' platform, perhaps in the next ten years, we will have an additional being of 'Crescent Moon' height, who can provide us with additional
Buy a lot of time."
What if it was the 35-year-old "New Moon" and the 35-year-old "Boethius Artist"? Not only did everyone fall into deep thought.
"Your opinion is very correct." He Meng bowed lightly, "It's just a matter of Yin Lie Fragment and Vincent..."
Although there has been no substantial breakthrough in the study of the audio series fragments, among the 16 suspicious antiquities investigated by senior officials of the Special Inspectorate, leaders have always believed that the correlation between the audio series fragments and "prophecy" may be ranked high.
"Things have their own priorities." Pogorelic stood up from the stairs, and his vague figure began to pace back and forth, "We have too many issues that need attention, including the situation in the B-105 abnormal zone. I will personally lead the team in the future.
In the past, the more urgent task now is to recover the keys and the remains of the collector Source God."
"Everything you do, you will encounter unimaginable resistance, but don't fight on all sides. When you are under pressure from one aspect, you must learn to make the pressure from other aspects as small as possible... I always hope that everyone has the ability to
People with high levels of character are our helpers, not our enemies, and the same will be true for future Carolyn Van Ning."
...help...the enemy. He Meng chewed on these two words.
He knew very well what would happen to those enemies who were truly identified as obstacles by Mr. Pogorelic.
"Understood." Most of the surrounding participants responded subconsciously at this time.
"Any more questions?" Pogorelic sat down again, his eyes dancing on the smooth steps and mirrors, making everyone feel like a knife was pointed at their eyes.
"If not, let's adjourn." Pogorelic waved his right hand in the air, just like a knife cutting through the canvas. The transparent surface where each high-ranking knowledgeable person was was cracked, and the figures fell in and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
, only the dazzling light is left flowing chaotically.
There are only two enlightened ones left here.
"Is your personal investigation going well?" Miss Norma Gunn asked with a concerned attitude.
Pogorelic said calmly: "Since the true knowledge of the 'Red Pond' has gradually awakened, the pursuit of the 'Happy Listening Club' has become a bit tricky, and the search for its wreckage has also become the most difficult echelon, which will cost a lot of money.
I have more energy and time.”
"We are always at your disposal if necessary."
"The matter of 'Red Pond' is too dangerous. You should not inquire too much. The tasks I give you have always adhered to the principle of easy things first and difficult ones later. This is also a way to reduce internal friction among all parties."
"Can I ask you what your current ranking of search difficulty is?" He Meng said in a respectful tone.
"The remains of the seven Lords of Witness, and the 'Blade' have always been in my hands. In addition to the simplest third echelon, they are the 'Hidden Lamp', 'Fountain in the Painting' and 'Disaster' that are entrusted to you.
The second echelon is the 'incinerator' that guides the school's containment, and Guido D'Alezzo is a very difficult person to deal with."
"All the Origin Gods have gone crazy. The most serious one is 'Red Pond'. Due to the activation of true knowledge, his remains have become extremely dangerous. I have assigned him to be the first echelon to search for him personally. As for another one with the same difficulty,
The danger is unknown, but there is too little information about its origin, records, characteristics, etc."
"For the other artifact gods, we can at least imagine their general form through the witness talisman or the god's name, but this one really makes it impossible to imagine what he looks like, and we don't know where his remains are now.
"
"Due to the law of entanglement in the secret history, we cannot rule out the slight possibility that you may inadvertently obtain clues to the revelation. Of course, I don't have too much hope. After the trouble of the 'Red Pond' is resolved, I will personally lead the team around the world.
A worldwide search is underway to investigate his whereabouts.”
"What is His divine name?..." There was a hint of curiosity in their tone.
"Old days." Pogorelic lowered his eyes after speaking.
