Chapter 76 Huokui
It was late at night, the stars in the sky were twinkling on the black screen, the breeze blew the linen curtains by the window, Xu Yi was immersed in drawing at the desk.
"Finally..." Xu Yi suddenly stopped writing, raised his head, and exhaled a long breath.
On the desk, there is a watercolor painting painted on the light yellow paper.
The monster with the body of a bullhead and snake body is wrapped around the sharp sword blade. It looks ferocious but ancient and majestic. The monster is surrounded by blazing golden flames.
This watercolor painting is so lifelike that the ferocious monster seems to have come to life. It also has a special charm. When ordinary people look at the monster in the painting, they will subconsciously look away.
"The American version of the exorcism talisman is finally finished!" Xu Yi was excited.
Since acquiring the ability to exorcise portraits of demons, this is the first time he has drawn a portrait with the power to exorcise demons.
The portrait is only about the size of a palm, and it is very difficult to draw a painting of this size.
If the size of the painting were enlarged, the difficulty would be reduced several times, and he would have succeeded long ago.
Why did he "sacrifice the easy for the difficult"?
The reason is simple. If the painting is too big, it will be troublesome to carry it around.
It's great now, it's only palm-sized, so it's very convenient whether you put it in your pocket or wear it as a necklace.
He worked so hard and had only one purpose, which was to sell at a high price!
As the saying goes, "The painting is one inch smaller, but the price is ten times higher." Only these exorcism portraits that can be carried around will be snapped up by the wealthy with banknotes waving around.
There is a second-hand laminating machine in the corner of the room.
Xu Yi asked Arent to help acquire it. The laminating machines of this era were still very bulky.
After waiting for the exorcism portrait to dry, Xu Yi skillfully operated the machine to laminate the portrait, so that there would be no need to worry about it being ruined if it gets wet.
Xu Yi took out the crystal splint from the bookcase and put it into the groove. It fit perfectly and the size was just right. After all, it was customized according to the size.
He played with the exorcism portrait in his hand and couldn't put it down.
There seems to be something missing? Xu Yi stared at the portrait and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
This exorcist holy beast still lacks a name.
After thinking for a moment, he murmured in a low voice, "Huo Kui, just call him Huo Kui!"
He didn't use English, but Chinese pinyin. This was intentional. People tend to feel more confused about things they don't understand. Mysterious and more attractive.
To put it simply, it is unclear.
There is a period of time for Xia people, as long as they have an English name, they will feel high-end.
Xu Yi is now outputting in reverse.
With a successful precedent, the next step will become much simpler, but this does not mean that he can get an exorcism portrait just by drawing it casually.
Time passed by minute by minute, and before I knew it, the desk was already piled with drawing papers.
"Finally another successful one!" Xu Yi shook his sore arm.
He glanced at the time and saw that it was already one o'clock in the morning. He started painting at six o'clock in the afternoon. In such a long time, he only succeeded in two drawings.
"Although the success rate of exorcism portraits is metaphysical, it should be related to the concentration of attention."
Xu Yi continues to sum up his experience. He believes that as he becomes more and more proficient, the success rate will definitely increase.
"This thing should be enough to make Shengyan Studio famous, right?" Xu Yi looked at the two successful "Exorcist Talismans" with expectant eyes.
After handling the second exorcism talisman, he stretched out and prepared to take a bath and rest.
When he passed by the door, he glanced at the puppet in the corner and felt satisfied.
During the day, he and Lisa went to the shooting gallery to practice shooting. In the afternoon, they returned to the rental house and began to engrave the undead mantras.
In my spare time, I read psychology books, and after dinner, I started drawing exorcism portraits.
The daily schedule is very full.
He also took the time to meet Lisa's boxing coach, a retired female boxer who once won a gold belt. Maria also trained with him. For Ailan in Maria's body, he learned very quickly anything related to combat.
Because of the boxing entry, Lisa's progress did not lag behind Ailan's. This made the female boxer she coached shout "Damn it," and kept persuading the two to participate in the boxing match.
Five days have passed since he returned from Crystal Lake, and he has persisted in this extremely regular life for five days.
At this moment, only one-third of the puppets in the corner are left, and Xu Yi plans to carve all the puppets in one go tomorrow.
[Necromantic Spell, current progress: 65/100]
"I don't know if the entry can be filled up after this pile of puppets are engraved?"
Xu Yi felt a little confused. After all, the further the entry goes, the less experience he will gain. , especially imprinting on the same resentment infection.
.........
"Sir, what do you do?"
The employee of the moving company parked the truck in front of the exorcism studio, looked at Xu Yi next to him, and asked curiously.
Xu Yi glanced lightly at the extremely conspicuous studio door sign that had not yet been hung with red cloth.
The atmosphere in the car was inexplicably awkward.
"Let's move things quickly!"
Xu Yi finally broke the silence, got out of the car and walked to the car behind.
"I'll just pick up the safe, and you go move the other things!" Xu Yi walked into the car first and got out of the car carrying the heavy safe.
The safe contains Mary Shaw's human skin roll, as well as the remaining three mysterious blood-stained fragments, which are used to suppress the strange human skin roll.
It is better for ordinary people to have less contact with these things.
Arent had been waiting in front of the door for a long time, instructing the people from the moving company to move things in.
Xu Yi had a lot of luggage, including a lot of puppets and all kinds of bits and pieces. The Mercedes-Benz couldn't fit it in, so he had to find a moving company.
After putting the safe in place, Xu Yi began to look at the studio and took a deep breath, "This can be considered a new starting point for the exorcism business!" The
door number was stapled to the doorpost. It was vertical and inconspicuous.
They are an exorcism studio, not someone who buys burgers on the street corner. There is no need to make the sign too conspicuous. This is fine, it is low-key without losing its connotation.
The house was formerly a cafe, and it is already very stylish and does not need much modification.
They are an exorcism studio, so they just need a place to talk. The bar and other items have been removed, making the first floor look particularly spacious.
Stepping to the second floor, the second floor was originally a private room. After slight modifications, it became a meeting room where you can discuss some private matters.
There are also many empty rooms that have been transformed into employee dormitories by Arent. If you are tired, you can rest in the room.
There are only two rooms on the third floor, one large and one small.
Xu Yi's room is naturally the larger one. The previous owner planned to stay there for a long time and spent a lot of time decorating it, so it looks very comfortable.
Xu Yi is very satisfied, especially because there is a huge workbench by the window.
"I've had someone check it out. Tomorrow is a good day. Boss, what do you think of the opening tomorrow?" Arent couldn't wait.
Allente didn't pay attention to this at first, but Xu Yi was from Xia country. He went to Chinatown to find a fortune teller and confirmed the date.
Xu Yi nodded. The sooner the studio opens, the sooner he can make money.
He suddenly changed his voice and said, "I'm not free tomorrow. I'm going to Connecticut. I'll leave the studio to you." The
Lopez family's exorcism treasure box has been in his hands for almost a week. If he doesn't If you send him back, I'm afraid the Lopez family will come looking for you.
"I wonder who the legendary Warrens are?" Xu Yi was a little curious.
