A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 658 - 658 487 Invitation_1

?Chapter 658: Chapter 487: Invitation_1 Chapter 658: Chapter 487: Invitation_1 Paintings adorned all four walls of the entertainment room. Duanmu Huai didn’t know the order, but fortunately, numbers beneath each painting saved him the trouble.

Upon cursory review, Duanmu Huai discovered that the majority of these paintings depicted ghouls. The first painting represented Arkham City; with city-dwelling Arkham citizens illustrated in the upper half and, beneath their feet in the sewers, hordes of ghouls scurrying about like rats.

The second painting depicted a number of ghouls infiltrating a household unnoticed, stealing the baby, and replacing it with a loathsome, little ghoul in the crib.

In the third painting, the kidnapped human infant seemed to have grown into a child, under the tutelage of the ghouls, learning to gnaw on corpses. The painting split in two showed the substituted ghoul child growing too. Despite appearing human, the twisted, malicious grin on his face gave him away.

The images that followed showed the human baby, now a fully-fledged ghoul, contributing to the ghoul ranks, while the infiltrator ghoul stood atop a mountain, towering over Arkham City with hundreds of ghouls behind him.

The subsequent prints mainly illustrated the ghouls’ assault on Arkham City and the slaughter of the human population. Emerging from crevices in the ground, they annihilated humans at subway stations or hid in bushes in the park, preying on passersby. Smoke billowing from Arkham City, corpses everywhere as an onslaught ravaged it…
To put it bluntly… it was a well-spun daydream.

“Sir Knight? Do these paintings scare you??”

Duanmu Huai, having taken in all the paintings with one sweeping gaze, rolled his eyes as Lorena blinked curiously. Undeniably, the scenes painted were gruesome, especially the renditions of humans torn apart and ghouls consuming their flesh—it looked so lifelike that the viewer could practically smell the blood.

Surely, these images could not be displayed without an age restriction—they were far more hideous than any B-grade plasma film.

Saying it’s repugnant would be an understatement, but terrifying… well, Duanmu Huai thought that was debatable.
