Not A God

Chapter 38 - The Moving Portrait

Outside Renai Hospital.

Zhao Gang looked at the screen that had lost Zhang Yun's life signal, closed his eyes heavily, and then raised his eyes to look at the spreading nameless fog, and his expression was grave. He knew that the inside of Renai Hospital had gone completely out of control, and Zhang Yun would not be coming back, so the only thing they could do who was still alive was to do what they could to stop [Renai Hospital] from spreading.

"Use the ghost avoidance talisman water, paint the outside of Renai Hospital."

Zhao Gang ordered the surrounding executives to bring out the ghost-avoiding talisman water they had prepared. The Ghost Avoidance Talisman Water was a new product developed by the headquarters. It is used to imprison ghosts and spirits in paranormal events and is drawn onto the body of the paranormal event in a certain proportion and pattern, keeping it within a certain range for three days. Although the conditions of use are harsh and the restriction is not permanent, it is just right for this time, as the file containing information about the future gives a possible restriction.

"Yes, Sir!"

They quickly took out their ghost-avoiding talisman water and began to paint the walls of Renai Hospital with special brushes similar to those used to paint the walls. But, for some reason, the nameless fog that enveloped the whole city became even thicker, making it difficult for them to paint with the brushes in hand. It was not only the freezing temperatures that made them shiver but also the further reduction in visibility. They could barely see anything more than twenty centimetres in front of them and had to keep moving closer and closer to the walls of the hospital, with the tips of their noses almost on the walls. This was all because of the complex patterns required by the water charms, which could have led to the failure of the entire team's efforts if they hadn't drawn carefully, so each of the executors was trying their best to draw as standard as possible, being extremely careful and focused with every stroke they raised and dropped.

Zen walked out of the hospital and saw a misty layer of mist floating around, enveloping the entire Li city buildings in a dream-like grey fog, which had a strange and hazy beauty. Zen liked the way it felt like a filter had been added to the whole world. He was in a better mood, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a number of people in the same uniform lying on the walls nearby, drawing something, a very strange scene.

"......"

Curious, he walked over and saw them intently drawing ghostly charms on the wall, so intent that they didn't even have time to turn their heads to chase away him, a passerby watching the action. On closer inspection, the walls were scribbled with lines of ghostly symbols painted with a light-coloured paint and water, and dozens of people had painted several walls of Renai Hospital in a post-modernist style.

So it was a collective art project.

Zen thought this and got bored of looking at it for a while, but after a closer look at the men in their uniforms, he turned his head thoughtfully to look at the much quieter ringmaster. The dressing was similar, the clothes were all designed in the same style, the only difference being the waist and the feminine design lines.

There must be a connection between the two.

"Are those people your colleagues?"

Zen pointed to those uniformed people lying on the wall and asked Zhang Yun, guessing that they were perhaps a unit of 30 or 40 people. It might have something to do with the government unit that Xiao Wu mentioned when he met them earlier, after all, they wore pretty much the same and opened their mouths to some gods and goddesses stuff.
