Chen Zhao came out again with a few cans of beer. This time, the same strange disappearance didn't happen.
However, this was still a thorn in Chen Zhao's heart.
After all, he was a veteran paranormal expert, and this was his home.
But in his own home, a supernatural event that he could not understand had happened.
Chen Zhao had to be vigilant.
After Fali went to sleep, he ran to the living room.
"Butler, help me find the surveillance footage from the living room and kitchen from 12: 05 to 10: 00."
Soon, the TV started playing the surveillance footage.
From the footage, he could see that Chen Zhao had entered the kitchen at 6: 00.
Then, he came out with the beer. The entire process had only taken around 20 seconds.
Chen Zhao stared at the camera.
At this moment, the surveillance screen suddenly flashed.
Then, the beer in Chen Zhao's arms disappeared.
What was it?
Chen Zhao frowned. What was it?
There wasn't anything in the footage, but it had indeed happened.
Chen Zhao was just as confused as he was on the screen.
Chen Zhao stood up and walked to the location.
He looked around for something suspicious.
Finally, Chen Zhao's gaze landed on the ink painting hanging on the wall.
Chen Zhao stared at it.
It was just a normal landscape painting.
The mountain of clouds and mist seemed to have a different flavor.
Ever since Chen Zhao had gotten the painting, he hadn't found anything special about it.
Was there something wrong with the painting?
Chen Zhao wasn't sure.
However, this painting seemed to be the most suspicious one among all of them.
Moreover, the origin of this painting was very strange.
Among Trede Pemton's many collections, most were valuable.
Most of them were very valuable collectibles.
Even the nautical diary, which had been thought to be worthless in the beginning, was now proven to be valuable.
So, Chen Zhao couldn't help but suspect the painting's origin.
Suddenly, Chen Zhao saw something in the mist.
Chen Zhao kept staring at it! Staring!
It moved …
The thing moved. It wasn't a mountain in the mist.
The next moment, Chen Zhao felt the world spin.
Then, he realized that he was at the foot of a mountain surrounded by mist.
F * ck, there's really something wrong!
He'd run into the painting.
He was in the painting!
Chen Zhao hadn't paid much attention to the painting before, but he could at least recognize some of the scenery in it.
But at that moment, the clouds began to disperse.
Chen Zhao saw something as big as a mountain … a giant beast!
It was a giant tortoise with a dozen mountain peaks on its shell.
The turtle stretched its head before Chen Zhao. Its neck was thin and long.
Not a tortoise, but a turtle …
This was a super giant turtle.
However, this giant turtle seemed to only have three legs.
There seemed to be something stuck in his throat.
Even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
Chen Zhao didn't know how strong it was.
But judging from its size, it was twenty to thirty times larger than Beelzebub Zofee's real body.
It was like the difference between the Princess and Briar and Bramble.
In any case, it was very, very, very big.
Chen Zhao believed that he was basically a monster among humans.
However, his right arm only had about five tons of strength.
Compared to the super behemoth in front of them, there was no comparison at all.
"Uh … who are you?" Chen Zhao asked in Mandarin.
It should be a domestic tortoise.
"F * ck, I'm your grandpa."
Then, the bastard spoke English to Chen Zhao.
"…" Chen Zhao was speechless. "You're a foreign monster?"
"You're a monster. Your whole family is monsters. Look at my body. You should at least call me a divine beast."
"How do you know English?"
"Of course. I've been wandering in foreign lands for more than a hundred years. Every now and then, I'm hung on the wall. Everyone around me speaks English. Even an idiot can learn it."
"Then … you can hear everything we say outside?"
"Of course. How can I learn it if I can't hear it?"
"Fine."
Chen Zhao was speechless. This old tortoise was an experienced international student.
"Who are you?"
"Look at my three legs. What did you think of?" The giant turtle looked at Chen Zhao expectantly.
"A three-legged turtle."
"…" The three-legged turtle was upset. "I'm a divine turtle."
"Uh … I'll go read the Classic of Mountains and Seas later."
The three-legged turtle was even more upset. "You didn't think of anything? For example, Goddess Nuwa. "
"Ah … I know. I remember now." Chen Zhao clapped his hands.
"Haha … I knew it. There are still people who know me." The three-legged turtle was very happy.
"You're Goddess Nuwa's mount, right?"
"* * * *." The three-legged turtle's English was very fluent, even better than Chen Zhao's.
"Isn't that so?"
"I'm the hero who mended the sky!!" The turtle roared. "Goddess Nuwa chopped off one of my legs and used it to support the sky."
"Oh."
"Oh? Shouldn't you be more excited? "
"Ah … I'm so excited."
"That's too perfunctory."
"Then why are you hiding in the painting?"
"In order to commend my achievements, Goddess Nuwa said that I could make a request of her. Then, I said that I wanted to live forever."
"And then?"
"And then she sealed me in the River Diagram."
"Is there something wrong with Goddess Nuwa's understanding of eternal existence?"
Chen Zhao clearly saw the corner of Old Turtle's mouth twitch. "I did make a mistake."
This reminded Chen Zhao of a famous joke.
It was said that someone picked up the magic lamp and the genie granted him a wish.
Then, the person wished to learn how to swim.
Then, the lamp turned the person into a fish.
Chen Zhao had thought that it was a wish, but seeing how Goddess Nuwa fulfilled her wish, he realized that it was quite perfunctory.
"In the River Diagram, time passes thousands of times slower than the outside world, so Goddess Nuwa wasn't wrong. I can indeed live forever here."
"You're really optimistic," Chen Zhao exclaimed.
"Of course. If I wasn't optimistic, I would've gone crazy long ago, okay?"
"…"
Forget it. He shouldn't complain about Goddess Nuwa in case he got punished.
"Then why did you call me in?"
"I didn't call you in. You ran in here yourself."
"What? I ran in here myself? How come I don't know? "
"This is the River Diagram. Apart from Goddess Nuwa, no one can enter and leave as they please."
"Then should I go out like this?"
"I don't know."
"Don't brush me off."
"I really don't know," Old Turtle said. "If I knew, I would've gone out long ago."
Chen Zhao was frustrated. What's going on?
Somebody, help me ah ….
"Do you have wine on you?"
"Oh, did you take the wine just now?" Chen Zhao shuddered.
