Chapter 205: Art Exhibition — Has my phone been infected with a virus?
Everly wasn’t interested in Shelly’s art exhibition, but she did want to see “The Sea Demon Under the Moon.”
It was truly an outstanding painting. Before this, Everly had never imagined that anyone could use a sculpture as the subject and so vividly capture Lamia’s contradictory nature—both gentle and dangerous—down to the finest detail.
After the Golden Anchor incident ended, the siren returned to the underworld. Ever since, Everly could only see her “siren mother” in fleeting dreams at midnight. If possible, she would very much like to see that painting—the one that had led countless people to associate Lamia with “motherhood.”
The Gegha Art Museum, where the solo exhibition was being held, was located in the northern part of Gegha City, only about ten kilometers from the airport. The exhibition was open to the public for free—no reservations or tickets required.
After doing a bit of research with Misha and confirming that no serious incidents had occurred around the museum, the two of them simply grabbed their backpacks and took a taxi to Shelly’s exhibition.
As a fairly well-known painter in the American art world, Shelly had a decent following. Combined with the fact that his famous work “Under the Moon” would also be on display, even more visitors came specifically for it.
Fortunately, art exhibitions are generally refined events. In addition, the paintings on display were extremely valuable, so the organizers had deployed a team of armed security personnel to prevent accidents. As a result, order in the exhibition hall was well maintained.
Everyone who stepped into the gallery, upon seeing the bright lighting and spotless, gleaming floors, would unconsciously slow their pace and lower their voices, trying to blend into the environment and present themselves as cultured and refined individuals.
Everly and Misha followed the crowd, slowly making their way through the exhibition from the entrance.
