Chapter 509: Chapter 509: The Lady in White on the Oil Painting (Ten More)_1

At this very moment, at the corner of the church wall opposite the Western-style building, Hong Ruinian, with a cold face, slowly appeared. His gaze was sinister as he stared at the Western-style building and said fiercely, "The grudge for killing my master is irreconcilable! Li Muyun, wait for it, this time I will make sure you have nowhere to bury your dead carcass!"

Hong Ruinian lifted his foot toward the Western-style building. Just then, a gust of wind lifted his wind coat. In his left hand, he was holding a notebook, and on the notebook, there was an old Parker pen...

"Why did the door close by itself?"

"Because we’ve entered a trap."

"A trap?" Surprised, Ruan Yuling couldn’t help but show a look of astonishment.

"Yes, the other party is an expert. This trap is cleverly laid out. It’s completely undetectable from the outside, but the moment I used my key to unlock the door, the trap was activated."

Ruan Yuling pondered, "So, the moment you paused at the door just now was because you noticed this?"

You nodded.

"Since you had already discovered it, why did you still enter?"

You shrugged and said with a smile, "There was no way around it. You had already entered, and had I gone out, the wooden door would have closed automatically. Then, you would have been in danger."

This time, Ruan Yuling did not provoke you with her enchanting words, nor did she express tearful gratitude by drawing herself close to stir your heart. She just stood there for a long while before finally saying two words to you, "Thank you."

You laughed, "Sister Ling, haven’t I said it before? We’re friends."

"Mhm." Ruan Yuling nodded earnestly, "What do we do now? We won’t be trapped here to die, will we?"

You didn’t reply, instead beginning to survey your surroundings.

You were currently at the entrance of the Western-style building. Ahead was an entryway, with a wooden shoe cabinet on the left-hand side, which, of course, was empty. On the right was a simple oil painting featuring a small white flower swaying in the wind.

Past the entryway was a sizable living room with a tasteful arrangement. To the left against the wall was a spiral staircase extending upwards to the second floor, with a door underneath the staircase leading to another room.

To your right, there was a large floor-to-ceiling window through which sunlight still shone, illuminating the room despite the tattered curtains, adding a distinctive aesthetic.

In front of the window, on a small raised platform, stood an antique white grand piano. It could be said that in the vast living room, this white grand piano was the most eye-catching object.

Besides the white grand piano, there was also a fireplace constructed, and not far from the fireplace hung a large oil painting.

The painting depicted a vivid field of sunflowers, with a dark-haired woman dressed in a white skirt, topped with a white woven hat. The woman only showed her slender and beautiful back as she looked up slightly, as if gazing at something.

Apart from that, several pieces of furniture were scattered throughout the living room. Some were covered in dust cloths, while others were carelessly thrown about, covered in dust.

"Brother Yun, what should we do now?" Ruan Yuling pulled out her mobile phone from her exquisite bag but found that there was no signal, and it was out of service area.

The Sen Luo Curse Mark slowly emerged within your pupils, and you scanned all the objects in front of you, only to discover that everything appeared to be veiled in a thin layer of mist. It all looked both real and illusory at the same time.

Just as you were about to enhance the spell, Ruan Yuling at your side suddenly cried out in surprise.

"What’s wrong?" you turned your head to look at her.

Ruan Yuling stretched out her hand, pointing to the large painting on the wall right ahead, "Just now, I thought I saw that woman’s head move."

Without speaking, you slowly walked towards that painting, and Ruan Yuling followed closely behind you, her high heels clicking against the floor making a "clack, clack" sound.

When the two of you reached the white grand piano, it suddenly began to play by itself.

Ruan Yuling instinctively moved closer to your back, her left hand gently clutching the corner of your clothes.

The piano piece started out cheerful and soft, but the sound gradually became heavier, playing bass notes that were unsettling to hear.

Suddenly, the piano music stopped abruptly, and both you and Ruan Yuling heard a woman’s piercing scream. You both looked up at the same time, only to see the woman in white on the painting turn her head violently!

Accompanied by Ruan Yuling’s cry of surprise, you suddenly felt your field of vision starting to spin, followed by the world spinning around you!

You shook your head vigorously, forcing yourself to stand firm and not to fall; whereas Ruan Yuling had thrown herself onto your back, her alluring scent unique to her wafting over, causing a strange sensation in your heart.

You bit your tongue hard and took out an orange cinnabar amulet from your pocket, shouting decisively, "Heart Clarity Spell!"

After the dizziness was dispelled, you supported Ruan Yuling and stepped back, but at this moment, you found that the surroundings were darkening at a visible rate!

As the sky darkened, the room suddenly lit up by itself.

However, these lights were dim and dull, illuminating only a few specific areas.

What surprised you was that your night vision function had disappeared here. Even after activating the Sen Luo Eye, your vision remained unchanged.

At this moment, you suddenly thought of what Mother En had mentioned while teaching you All Forms of Sen Luo. She said that everything in the world has its own system of mutual generation and overcoming; there is no absolute ability in this world, and even the Sen Luo Eye, which can see all things, has lost most of its divine power because it exists within your mortal body, and cannot see through everything one hundred percent.

Therefore, she specifically instructed you not to rely entirely on the Sen Luo Eye should you enter a forbidden place, a foreign land, or be trapped within a special array in the future. At these times, you should not even use the Sen Luo Eye, but rely on your own wisdom to win.

You slowly closed your eyes, and when you reopened them, your eyes were clear.

Mother En had also said that there are no completely enclosed spaces in this world, nor can there be barriers without gaps; every spell has its laws, and as long as you find them, you can break them. You believed this situation was the same.

The surroundings were still dim, and soon you could no longer see the patterns on the floor.

"Yun, Brother Yun, what do we do now?"

Ruan Yuling, who had been relatively calm, was also starting to get nervous.

"Sister Ling, don’t worry, I’ll make sure to get you out of here safe and sound," you said.

As you spoke, you slowly raised your head to look at the large painting.
