Chapter 55
The broadcasting accident on the last day of the Painting Grand Prix caused a huge stir in the Federal world within the entire Nightmare Fragment instance.
The Federal authorities almost thought they had suffered a terrorist attack, with “Joey” being the terrorist who deliberately packaged dark art as healing art, deceiving the world’s eyes to reach the final stage, and then indiscriminately attacking the entire Federation!
Fortunately, no major incidents occurred across the Federation afterwards, and there was no large-scale spread of mental pollution.
After repeated authentication, “The Last Supper” painting indeed did not contain any mental pollution, but instead had a strong suppressive effect on most mental pollutants.
— If judged solely by these characteristics, classifying this painting as healing art was completely justified.
The alert was lifted, and Bai Yi, who had nearly been blacklisted as a “terrorist,” once again became a Federal citizen.
However, the audience had witnessed the anomaly that day. To avoid causing panic throughout the Federation, the Painting Grand Prix organizers immediately explained to everyone after the authentication results came out:
“As we all know, dark art often actively creates mental pollution, while traditional healing art soothes mental pollution, like using a detergent to clean a stain—the process is gentle. ‘The Last Supper,’ as a unique new work among healing arts, possesses strong spirituality. Its special quality lies in that the healing art it expresses is not gentle, but rather domineering, forcibly suppressing all mental pollution—not cleaning the stain, but directly covering the entire stain…”
The sense of tranquility, beauty, and harmony conveyed by this painting was like a domineering spice, able to forcibly suppress the viewer’s other emotions. If other healing arts were like a psychologist’s guidance, then “The Last Supper” was practically a hypnotist forcibly hypnotizing.
