This is a small garden located on the outskirts of the city, with a quiet environment, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
If we didn't say this place was a painting academy, many people would probably mistakenly think it was some kind of scenic spot.
Gu Wenyu also came here for the first time, but although she had never been before, she knew that there were often some art exhibitions here, and it was quite a famous place in Fengdan City.
From the outside, there is nothing wrong with this painting academy. It smells very clean and has no evil or demonic aura.
Maybe Lu Xinyue's uncle is not here, and it's not that there is a problem with the art academy. Lu Xinyue just invited them here to discuss things.
But Gu Wenyu felt that this was unlikely. Jinxiu Painting Academy was located on the outskirts of the city, and the transportation was not particularly convenient. There was no need for Lu Xinyue to specially invite her here.
Lu Xinyue was waiting at the gate of Jinxiu Painting Academy. She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and blue jeans, but Lu Xinyue had a very good temperament and was completely different from the last time she was in Dongxin Village.
I was beaten and starved in Dongxin Village before, and I was very haggard. Even if I cleaned up the next day, the fatigue and bruises were still visible to the naked eye.
When I saw Lu Xinyue this time, the little girl looked much better, but because of her uncle, she still had a look of worry and anxiety on her face.
He Xi parked the car at the gate. Gu Wenyu was the first to get out of the car. She waved to Lu Xinyue, "Xinyue!"
"Wen Yu, thank you for your hard work." Lu Xinyue hurriedly came up to greet her.
Others got out of the car one after another. He Xi did not wear a mask or hat because he had met Lu Xinyue.
"Yeah! Mr. He is here too." Lu Xinyue was obviously a little surprised when she saw He Xi and Gu Wenyu appearing together.
Although she had already met He Xi in Dongxin Village, He Xi was with Gu Wenyu twice in a row, which inevitably made people speculate about their relationship.
He Xi didn't shy away. He nodded, "Well, I'm here to accompany her."
Lu Xinyue looked at He Xi, then at Gu Wenyu, and then gave a polite smile, "You two have a really good relationship."
He Xi and Gu Wenyu smiled at each other, acquiescing.
"It shouldn't matter, right? In fact, He Xi is the one who specializes in handling these matters." Gu Wenyu was afraid that Lu Xinyue's uncle would be unhappy, so she explained a little more.
Lu Xinyue had seen what He Xi was capable of, and she quickly said: "Of course it doesn't matter, Mr. He is willing to help, we can only ask for it."
After saying that, Lu Xinyue looked at the people behind Gu Wenyu and asked hesitantly: "Are these people also together?"
Gu Wenyu saw a hint of embarrassment on Lu Xinyue's face. After all, the matter involved her uncle. She probably didn't want too many people to know about it, but she couldn't speak directly.
"Oh, they are my friends. Just let them hang out around here, and they won't go in." Gu Wenyu also felt that there was no need for so many people to go in together, and the scenery nearby was quite good, which was perfect for a few big people.
Guys, let's have some fun.
After Gu Wenyu finished speaking, he turned around and called to the demons, "You are free to move around."
Lu Xinyue took advantage of the situation and introduced: "The scenery of Bijia Mountain behind the Art Academy is not bad, and many people usually come to visit. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."
"Okay, okay, leave us alone and leave quickly." Xiaobai waved his hand and drove them away.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! We will take care of ourselves." Huo Huo nodded like garlic.
"Sir, why don't I go with you?" Ling Yu confirmed with some worry.
"No need, I will call you if something happens. Go ahead and move around freely." Gu Wenyu patted Ling Yu on the back, then turned to look at Lu Xinyue, "Let's go in."
"Okay, you two, please come this way." Lu Xinyue immediately led the way. She was indeed a little anxious.
Gu Wenyu and He Xi followed Lu Xinyue into the art academy.
When I walked into the art academy, I felt that this place was very well-built, bright, clean, quiet, and cleverly conceived.
As the three of them were walking on the path, Gu Wenyu asked, "You specially invited us to come to the art academy. Does the strange thing have anything to do with the art academy?"
Lu Xinyue frowned and said, "I don't know if it has anything to do with the painting academy."
Gu Wenyu: "How to say?"
Lu Xinyue looked around unconsciously, as if she was afraid of being stared at by something. She hesitated for a while before saying: "Actually...my uncle is missing."
Gu Wenyu: "Missing? Then we should call the police."
Lu Xinyue sighed, "Hey... of course we called the police, but the uncle seemed to disappear out of thin air.
We also adjusted the surveillance. After my uncle came to the art academy last Monday night, he never left. His car was still parked here, and the surveillance on the street outside did not see him leaving.
Except for the security guard, no one else came in during this period, but the security guard never came near the exhibition hall where the uncle was.
My eldest uncle just disappeared out of thin air. It’s been almost two weeks...my eldest aunt is almost dying of panic."
Gu Wenyu's heart skipped a beat. This process... was almost exactly the same as when Gu Wentian disappeared.
But... Gu Wentian has entered the Book of Fate. What is going on with Lu Xinyue's uncle? What kind of sacred weapon does her uncle have?
Since when did this sacred weapon become the same as Chinese cabbage? Does anyone have a sacred weapon?
Seeing that Gu Wenyu looked strange, He Xi guessed that she was thinking of Gu Wentian. He Xi patted Gu Wenyu's shoulder lightly, and then said to Lu Xinyue: "Can you take us to the exhibition hall where your uncle disappeared?"
Lu Xinyue pretended not to see He Xi's hand on Gu Wenyu's shoulder, and looked like she was not gossiping at all. She nodded and said, "Of course, in fact, I just want to invite you to go there and have a look."
He Xi continued to ask: "Besides the night he disappeared, did your uncle have any strange behavior before?"
Lu Xinyue thought for a while and hesitated: "I don't know if it's strange or not..."
He Xi: "Tell me about it."
Lu Xinyue: "Since about half a year ago, my uncle has been coming to the Art Academy alone, and he always goes to the same exhibition hall.
At first we didn't think there was any problem. My uncle loves these things.
At first, he stayed for a while and then left, then he stayed for an entire afternoon, and then he stayed in the exhibition hall all day.
Since last month, the exhibition hall has simply been closed to the public, and my uncle is often the only one in there.
I heard from my eldest aunt that in the past two weeks, my uncle began to be in a trance and refused to respond even to calls, as if he was possessed by a demon.
I hired several masters before, some came to summon spirits, some asked for divination, some said that the feng shui was bad and needed to be improved, some said that the uncle was kidnapped by monsters...
All in all, there was a big fuss, which made my eldest aunt very angry, but I still have no news at all."
