There were indeed several changes in the oil painting of <Mona Lisa> on the entrance of the 2nd floor. The first was the copy work that everyone first saw that was 100% similar to the original painting; The second was when Yue Xingwen noticed that the corners of the woman’s mouth in the painting were slightly upturned; this was followed by the appearance of a second face in the paintings, as well as the grinning woman in the painting who gave an eerie laugh.
If Xu Feixue’s guess was correct, the painting could be peeled off at least four layers, it just wasn’t known what the contents of the initial version at the bottom would be. At this time, the woman in the painting was raising the corners of her mouth and staring at them with a smile.
Yue Xingwen forcibly endured the discomfort in his heart and said, “Try it, can this layer be peeled off?”
Xu Feixue stepped forward to observe carefully for a moment, and sure enough, she found the place where the canvas was layered from the edge of the oil painting, gently rubbed it, where it cracked open – a gap, and the edge of the canvas was upturned, revealing the fuzzy inner layer.
Xu Feixue’s eyes were bright, carefully grasping the edge of the canvas, slowly tearing upwards. With her movements, the whole painting was like a girl removing the mask applied to her face, the whole peeled off!
The image hidden behind this painting was exactly the appearance of the woman in the painting cracking her bloody mouth and emitting strange laughter.
The gloomy laughter kept ringing in their ears, and no illusions and clues appeared in the painting.
Jiang Pingce frowned and said, “Continue peeling.”
Xu Feixue plucked up courage and continued to look for the overlay of the canvas with her eyes wide open. This time, she found the place where the multi-layer canvas was glued in the upper right corner, and after gently removing it, there was a new layer of canvas inside. A second woman’s face appeared in the canvas, with blood and tears flowing down her face, and her hair was scattered, like a ghost.
Ke Shaobin had a jump scare, and subconsciously shouted, “Watch out!”
At the beginning, when this layer of picture appeared, the woman in the painting suddenly flew out and almost strangled Yue Xingwen with her hair. Yue Xingwen thought of that, and he immediately stepped back, summoning the dictionary in his hand, and was on guard at any time.
Sure enough, the woman climbed out of the painting again. Xu Feixue, who was closest to the painting, was so frightened that she suffocated. She hurriedly dodged it,only to have the woman’s hair quickly wrapped around her waist!
Jiang Pingce’s eyes sank, his right hand was slightly raised, and the sharp triangular ruler shot out quickly, instantly cutting off the woman’s long hair!
But to no avail, the women in the painting came out one after the other like a hive of bees!
Only Xin Yan’s spirit lamp could be illuminated in the dark castle, and the scene of those women crawling out of the painting continuously, made Liu Zhaoqing, Zhuo Feng and other others’ faces who experienced this scene for the first time suddenly changed. Zhuo Feng couldn’t help cursing, “Fuck, this is what you encountered at that time?”
Xu Yishen quickly dodged with mitosis and made a joke at the same time, “Although Sadako in the ghost movie also crawled out suddenly, it’s not so much, right?!”
Upon hearing this, Yue Xingwen suddenly realized that something was wrong——
If the mechanism of <Mona Lisa> needed to be opened by peeling off the canvas, then whenever they peeled off the layer where the woman sheds blood and tears, they would be attacked by the woman, and they would never be able to see what was under this layer.

As long as this bloody woman was not allowed to appear in the painting completely, she would not attack everyone!
Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen immediately said, “Everyone retreat first!”
After he said that, he quickly turned around and withdrew downstairs. Jiang Pingce immediately followed him, and the other students did not hesitate to follow the team although they did not know the reason. A moment later, they withdrew to the original world A, and those endless streams of female ghosts also disappeared in front of their eyes.
Yue Xingwen took a deep breath and said, “Let’s confirm. Has the painting on the 2nd floor been restored to its original state?”
Xu Feixue followed the stairs to the entrance hall and saw the <Mona Lisa> painting had indeed returned to its original form, she froze. “This painting which has been dynamically changing seems to have the ability to recover?”
Yue Xingwen discovered this point a long time ago. At that time, he was attacked by the woman in the painting and Jiang Pingce shot a large number of triangular rulers to save him, including several sharp rulers poked through the oil painting, but later, when they returned to the 2nd floor, the painting was intact, proving that the painting had the ability to ‘self-repair’.
Yue Xingwen walked to Xu Feixue’s side and said, “Don’t peel off layer by layer this time. Look for the position of the multi-layered in the four corners of this painting, roll up the corners after you find it, and when you find the four layers, then peel off all four layers in one breath.”
Ke Shaobin said excitedly, “In this case, the bloody woman on the third layer won’t have a chance to show her face!”
Liu Zhaoqing laughed and gave a thumbs up. “It’s still Xingwen who has a way, I don’t want to see her crawling out from inside the painting again.”
Xu Feixue understood Xingwen’s meaning. According to her memory, she quickly found out the intersection of the layers, and there were each of the four corners, just like the adhesive of the roll of transparent glue, peeling it off lightly, and she could warp it up.
She grabbed the fourth layer where it was upturned and carefully peeled the painting off, inch by inch.
Then, to everyone’s surprise, they saw what the bottom of the painting looked like——
The corners of the woman’s mouth were obviously raised, and her face showed dimples, but her eyes were particularly cold. She had long black hair, and she was holding a snow-white cat in her arms. She was Leah as an adult.
With the appearance of Leah, the protagonist, the plot began to play in the painting.
Soon after she and Jack were together, she discovered that Jack was actually Rhodes’s brother.
One rainy night, she saw a cute stray cat hiding under the eaves of a house, so she went over to save it. Unexpectedly, Jack and a few friends happened to pass by, and said in a casual tone, “I like her? Don’t joke, I just wanted to see what kind of woman my brother had a crush on, but I didn’t expect that Leah, who looks cold and proud, is so easy to get.”
The boy next to him curiously asked him for details, and Jack actually shared his private experience with Leah, adding that Leah couldn’t even let go just a little bit in bed, just like a log…
The lewd laughter of the boys when they talked, mixed with the crackling sound of rain, was extremely harsh. Leah stood in the shadows, holding the cat in her arms, expressionless.
The scene in the painting changed, Leah deleted Jack’s contact information, began to devote all her energy to painting, and she was admitted to a well-known art academy by her own efforts.
Her days gradually became calmer.
Until one day, the Roland couple suddenly found her. The old couple and Leah ate at a coffee shop. Leah never had any expression, but the Roland couple seemed to be very excited, the painting was muted, and everyone couldn’t hear what the three were saying.
The ‘silent movie’ was played. Some time later, the Roland couple left the coffee shop, Leah hugged her cat and pondered, and then she returned home.
There was still no sound in the painting. She took out her mobile phone and sent a message to her parents, the content was: “Mom and Dad, my brother graduated from high school this summer, he wants to travel, should we all go for a trip together?”
The mother replied quickly: “Aren’t you going to be sketching in the wilderness on your vacation?”
Leah said: “I can also sketch while traveling.”
The mother said: “Your dad is very busy at work, maybe there’s no time, we’ll talk about it later.”
When Leah saw the messages, a self-deprecating smile rose at the corner of her mouth, she turned on the computer, searched her mother’s booking record, and found that her parents had already booked a trip on July 20th and bought tickets for her brother, but not her.
She had gotten used to the fact that her family’s trips ‘coincidentally’ didn’t include her.
Leah turned off her computer, took out her phone, and sent a message to the number marked ‘Mrs. Roland’: “On July 20th, they will indeed go on a road trip.”
After she put down the phone, the corners of her mouth suddenly raised a smile.
The clues in the painting ended here. Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other, and the latter whispered, “The death of her parents is likely to be related to her. Senior brother Xu was right before, her relationship with her parents is very bad, and if her parents and brother die unexpectedly, she will be the sole heir to all of the family’s property.”
Yue Xingwen touched his chin thoughtfully. “So it seems that she and Rolands met in private, they should have reached some kind of consensus. The Roland couple may encounter some business problems, want to get rid of her parents. She also happens to be extremely disgusted with her parents and brother, both sides met and hit it off, creating this man-made car accident?”
Ke Shaobin followed this analysis and said, “After the car accident, Leah’s parents and brother died, and she legally inherited all the inheritance, and agreed to be adopted by the Roland couple and stayed in the Roland family?”
Xin Yan frowned. “There’s a doubt, if she conspired with the Rlands to kill her parents, and after their deaths, wouldn’t it be easier for her to draw suspicion by recognizing the Rolands as her rightful parents and staying in the Rolands’ home?”
Liu Zhaoqing frowned and thought about it carefully, and said, “There’s still the last painting. The <Sunflowers> painting’s illusion has not been unlocked.”
Yue Xingwen said, “Let’s go to the drawing room on the 2nd floor.”
Everyone came to the room on the 2nd floor where Van Gog’s <Sunflowers> were hung, the location of the painting was obvious. On the sunflower’s petals, there was a color difference with the surrounding colors. Xu Feixue carefully looked at it, and found that it was actually pasted with a piece of real sunflower petals that had been dried.
She took the petal away, and sure enough, an illusion clue did appear in the painting.
It was three family portraits, played on a loop.
The first was a photo of Leah with her parents and brother, and the second was a photo of Mr. and Mrs. Roland with their two daughters, Daisy and Alice; The third was a photo of Rhodes, Jack and their parents.
The students looked at the three family portraits and looked at each other.
While observing, Yue Xingwen analyzed, “All of them are photos of the family of four, among them, the Rolands and sisters Daisy and Alice have the most harmonious relationship, and both sisters have their hands intimately resting on the shoulders of their parents, smiling brightly; Jack and Rhodes were obviously plastic brothers, standing on either side of their parents, and Leah didn’t smile either.”
Jiang Pingce frowned. “What does that mean?”
Liu Zhaoqing looked at the photo carefully, and after a long time, he suddenly said, “Do you think that Leah does not look like her parents?”
Ke Shaobin was stunned, walked over and looked at it carefully, nodding approvingly. “Indeed, Leah has clear eyebrows and a rather pointed chin, and both her parents have round faces. Also, she has double eyelids, her parents… all seem to have single eyelids?”
Xu Yishen suddenly slapped his forehead, “I know!”
He looked back at his teammates and said seriously, “Single eyelids are inherited as an autosomal recessive gene, which means that parents with single eyelids are bound to have children with single eyelids.” In order to facilitate everyone’s understanding, he drew a picture and said, “The genotype of AA and AA will be manifested as single eyelids, parents are AA, the genotype of the child born is also AA. Leah’s brother and parents all had single eyelids, only she had double eyelids, which can only be explained… that she is not their biological daughter!”
Yue Xingwen’s eyes brightened. “That’s why her parents treated her differently, doted on her younger brother, but never gave her the slightest care. They didn’t even give her a birthday, because she was not their biological daughter?”
He looked at the 2nd family photo and said, “Leah’s biological parents are…”
Jiang Pingce also looked at the 2nd photo and said in unison, “Mr. and Mrs. Roland.”
Adoption by name, and in fact, Leah was the Rolands’ real daughter?
Thank you for the translated chapter!
what is this revelation ah~ So if she is really the Roland’s couples biological daughter it doesn’t explain why she was the nanny, perhaps the couple didn’t know?
