Paintings of Terror

Chapter 283: Gu Qingqing and He Tang

This is a list of plants I saw in the forest just now, Gu Qingqing spoke with a student-like tone and demeanor, as if explaining a literature question to everyone. She pointed at the notebook with the tip of her pen and said one by one, Cyathea lepifera, can grow in tropical, subtropical, and temperate zones, but more commonly in tropical regions; Araucaria cunninghamii, a tropical plant; Bauhinia variegata, a tree native to tropical rainforests; Elaeis guineensis, a tropical plant; Typha, Hibiscus tiliaceus, Musa, Sansevieria, Spathiphyllum, and Strelitzia all tropical plants; Abies, mainly found in cold zones; Larix decidua, a plant native to the cold zone; Quercus, a plant native to the cold zone; and the willow you guys found in the forest, which is mostly found in temperate and cold zones, very rarely in tropical areas. Furthermore, these plants I circled here should all grow in cold, sub-cold, or temperate zones.

At this point, Gu Qingqing looked at everyone with an incredulous expression, This cant be possible I mean, this doesnt conform to the laws of nature. Tropical and cold zone plants are both growing in the same area. If this forest were artificially planted, it would somewhat make sense, but its obviously a natural wild forest. How could these plant species, which should grow in different temperature zones, all appear here at the same time? AQqOX1

Her words left everyone looking at her face with a peculiar gaze. Gu Qingqing couldnt help but feel a bit nervous, pinching the leg of her glasses, and hesitantly asked, What is there something wrong with what I said?

No, you said it very well. This is indeed a very suspicious problem, Shao Ling said, We are just marveling at the deduction Mu made before entering the painting.

Um Can I ask what it is? Gu Qingqing very much had the eagerness of a good student who was keen of learning.

For every painting, it seems like the force behind the painting is deliberately selecting individuals suitable for that painting, Shao Ling looked at Gu Qingqing meaningfully, Clearly, for this painting, you might be the suitable candidate. sOWF8v

I I dont quite understand Gu Qingqing was startled by this statement, her face slightly pale.

Ill explain this to you in detail after we leave this painting. For now, lets focus on the clue you discovered, Shao Ling said, I think this is indeed a very important discovery. This violation of natural laws may explain the question Fang Fei raised earlier: why this forest became part of the main subject of the painting? Obviously, the disorderly state of the vegetation inside is a clue.

What can it prove? Wei Dong said, Have the plants mutated? Damn, does that mean those who died in the blood cases also mutated, turning into zombies or something? And when manifested in the plants, its shown as this phenomenon of random growth that defies natural laws?

I think Brother Dongs statement makes sense, Luo Bu nodded repeatedly. 9dwaiv

He Tang? Ke Xun looked at He Tang, who had been silent the whole time, Feeling unwell?

Yeah He Tang looked up at Ke Xun. She knew that this person was very observant, but she hadnt expected him to be so sensitive to subtle changes in others. She nodded and said, I do feel very uncomfortable, but this kind of discomfort Im afraid everyone will think Im making a big deal out of nothing if I said it out loud. At such an important moment, lets not worry about me

Where does it feel uncomfortable? It was Mu Yiran who asked, his calm and cool gaze sweeping over, making He Tang not dare to evade any of his questions.
