Chapter 59: Probing
The dark strokes outlined the distant horizon, and the rust color that looked like dried blood depicted the dark red setting sun. There was an iron cage on the empty plain, and a little boy with bare feet and scars was imprisoned in it. The little boy also had a heavy iron chain around his neck.
Blood flowed along his body and meandered on the ground as if it was going to dye the ground under his feet red.
The anguish contrast between black and red was like a huge rock pressing down on one’s heart, making it hard for one to breathe. It was no wonder Han Yin and Ji Ning had such expressions when they saw this painting.
Shen Hanxing’s expression did not change. She looked as though she was admiring the most ordinary landscape painting. After examining it carefully for a while, she said, "Not bad."
There was not a hint of recoil or anything bizarre on her face.
Hearing this, a strange light flashed in Ji Mo’s eyes. There was a smile at the corner of his mouth, but there was not a hint of a smile in his eyes. "Sister-in-law, you think it’s not bad?" His voice had a strange rhythm.
At this moment, the youthful aura seemed to have completely faded from his body. He emitted both good and evil auras. Whether it was his smile or his strange tone, coupled with the strange painting that he had drawn with his own hands, it sent chills down people’s spines.
The timid Ji Ning clenched her fists. This time, she did not retreat in fear. Instead, she quietly tugged at the corner of Shen Hanxing’s shirt and looked at her youngest brother worriedly.
