Volume 1 Animal World Chapter 15: This painting is dedicated to mankind's most loyal friend

"Crying is useless!" Ke Xun was also very upset. He shouted and went forward to pick up the people, but the women's legs were already limp from fear. They stumbled every three steps and collapsed every five steps as he carried them. They couldn't run far for a long time.

"Oh my god..." Ke Xun pulled his hair, "I was right to bend, it was right to bend - sisters, if you don't run you will die, stop crying, run, you can live if you run, the signature is right in front, I can see it, run quickly, you can live if you run to the front."

These words gave the girls hope, and they struggled and stumbled, desperately running forward behind him.

However, a sound of huge hooves stamping on the ground came rolling in from behind, mixed with one or two dog barks.

" Listen! If the dog catches up with you, don't hide, just jump on it!" Ke Xun loudly instructed them, "The dog is the signature, you can jump on it and leave the painting, do you hear me?"

No one had time to answer him, and the girls were running out of breath.

The sounds of hooves and barking dogs were getting closer and closer. Ke Xun couldn't be sure whether the cow or the dog would arrive first. If it was a dog, he would live, but if it was a cow, he would die. He didn't dare to gamble with the lives of these girls.

It’s a pity that these people can’t climb trees, otherwise they can tell at a glance whether the person coming is a dog or a cow.

Thinking of this, Ke Xun turned and climbed up the tree: "Keep running, listen to my message, if it's a dog that comes first, don't run, if it's a cow, keep running!"

Ke Xun climbed up to the top of the tree as quickly as possible and looked in the direction where the sound came from. He saw a large golden short-haired dog rushing towards him in front of several giant cows!

"Stop running! - The dog is coming! The autographs are coming! Stop running!" Ke Xun shouted at the girls who ran to the front.

However, perhaps because they were so frightened that they didn't hear anything, or because they refused to believe Ke Xun's words that the dog was the signature, the girls still ran forward desperately, and were blocked and scattered by the dense trees, fleeing in different directions.

Ke Xunzhi gritted his teeth, shook his head and sighed.

There was no way. These girls were newcomers entering the painting for the first time. If they were old members, they would definitely listen to him and stop at this moment.

Unfortunately, they are not. They cannot believe this incredible idea, process and result. Even if it were Bi Jing and Dong Dong, they would not necessarily believe him.

After all, the dog's barking sounded so fierce, as if it wanted to tear the person it caught into pieces.

This is a sleight of hand, a trick to confuse the vision and judgment of people outside the picture.

Ke Xun was helpless. He looked at the backs of the girls and sighed, then stared at the big golden dog that was running closer.

This is a Labrador Retriever, which is said to be the most loyal dog breed to humans.

Ke Xun thought that perhaps the painter Lex was raising a Labrador.

The big dog was already very close, and Ke Xun was ready. Just as the big dog passed under the tree, he jumped down from the tree and rode on the big dog's back.

The big dog carried him forward, like a divine dog with the power to save the world, carrying the human being trapped in misery and suffering, rushing towards a dazzling golden light that appeared in the forest.

On the way to the golden light, Ke Xun seemed to see some scattered images passing by quickly from both sides.

There were shocking scenes, including dogs that were beaten until they were covered in blood, dogs that were poisoned to the point of foaming at the mouth, dogs that had their tails and limbs cut off and their eyes blinded, dogs that had countless scars from cigarette burns, and dogs that were thrown to death, strangled, drowned, disemboweled, and even skinned shortly after birth.

There are also dogs that have been abused and abandoned by their owners time and time again, but they always return to their owners' doors and wait silently.

In the deepest part of the golden light, a picture frame carved with cartoon dog heads emerged. Ke Xun was led by the Labrador under him and rushed in: "——Fuck! Wait——Mu Yi——"

Ke Xun rolled and crawled on the floor of the exhibition hall. He didn't care about anything else and jumped up to pounce on the painting on the wall. However, the painting at this moment was just a painting, hanging there quietly and coldly, showing him the bizarre scene above.

Ke Xun saw the cat at the far end of the screen. It was wearing a weird and funny OL outfit and a pair of bright red high heels on its feet.

However, the pointed heel of one of the high-heeled shoes was poking into the mouth of a thin human being and directly penetrating his skull, gushing out blood.

There was almost no intact skin on this human's body. In addition to cigarette burns, there were also traces of being poured with boiling water and having the skin pulled off alive.

The nails on all ten of the human's fingers had been pulled out, leaving the fingertips covered in blood, but the most horrible thing to see was his genitals, which had been castrated but had not been treated with medical methods, and blood was flowing like a column.

Ke Xun looked at the face of this human, only to see that it was Bi Jing.

He was picked up by the cow, and passed through several hands before ending up in the hands of this cat - or rather, a glamorous, elegant and respectable white-collar worker.

Ke Xun didn't want to look at it anymore, but he had to force himself to keep searching in the painting. He didn't want to look for Mu Yiran, Wei Dong and the others, he hoped that no one else would appear in the painting.

But unfortunately, he saw the faces of the four girls. One of them had a big belly and was made into a barbecued oyakodon. Another one was placed in the center of a special table with only her head stuck on the table. Her skull was opened, revealing a bright red human brain. A pot of hot oil was being poured into it, making her expression distorted with extreme pain. Obviously, at this time, she was not completely dead yet.

This seems to be the legendary practice of eating monkey brains alive.

Ke Xun tilted his head and gasped for breath.

He was not in the mood to think about why the girl suddenly became pregnant, nor did he want to take a closer look at what the other two girls looked like in the "paintings". He didn't even have the courage to check the other parts of the painting to confirm whether Mu Yiran and the others were safe.

Ke Xun thought of the "Black Chapter" in the famous comic. He felt that he was like Sensui Shinobu who was on the verge of evil. He didn't want to be a human being, but only wanted to become a demon .

At this moment when he was distracted, a strong force suddenly hit him from the screen, and Ke Xun was knocked backwards and fell to the ground. Then he felt a series of heavy objects pressing down on him one after another.

"Fuck... this stack is too rough..." Ke Xun groaned in pain while lying at the bottom, "Get up... Lie down, it's good."

Looking at Mu Yiran who was pressed in his arms face to face, Ke Xun felt that it was useless to be a demon and it was better to be a human being.

Because in the human world, there are shepherds who are happy.

Before leaving the exhibition hall, everyone couldn't help but look back at this fierce and extreme "Animal World".

The golden Labrador seems out of place in the whole painting.

It is not a dog raised by the giant cow. Its existence seems to be equal and harmonious with cows and humans.

It floats outside the picture and is embedded in this world. It stands guard at the edge of the forest, ready to help all creatures in need and in trouble.

Its voice is fierce, but its eyes are kind.

Those who trust and treat it well are saved. Those who misunderstand or reject it push themselves away from its help and cut off their own path to survival in this painting.

The note card below the painting contains the artist's self-introduction:

Lex, a fierce and extreme dog owner.

This painting is dedicated to my loyal friend, Bobbie.

"Bobbie was his dog. He was stolen and found dead next to a trash can two months later. He had been brutally abused before his death." Mu Yiran's voice message rang in the "Jinhualun" WeChat group. "In fact, the name Bobbie is also based on a famous dog in history. The dog, also named Bobbie, got lost with his owner when he was away on a long journey. After six months of trekking, the dog walked four million meters, with a severely injured toe and exposed bones, but he still persevered in finding his owner and his home with his owner."

“Perhaps Lex was also hoping to find his dog after it went missing. Unfortunately, this is not Animal World.” Zhu Haowen concluded the adventure of this painting with his calm and indifferent voice.

Ke Xun hadn't shown up in the group for many days, hadn't called any group members, and hadn't even left the house.

When Weidong came, he was curled up in the lazy sofa, like a half-dead dog.

"Are you meditating?" Wei Dong went up and kicked him. "My brothers asked you to go out for a meal and a drink but you didn't go. I called you but you didn't answer. I had to come over to check if you were dead at home."

Ke Xun turned over on the sofa, listlessly: "I think I might be a little depressed."

"Depressed, you bastard," Wei Dong cursed, "Everyone in the world is depressed, but you can't be depressed. Stop moaning and get out of here with me."

"Even dogs can get depression, so why can't I?" Ke Xun closed his eyes, still half dead.

Wei Dong looked at the man's butt, which was more plump and elastic than a Corgi, and sneered, "Why don't we take advantage of the remaining ten days to go to S City to play with Boss Mu?"

The Corgi jumped up from the sofa with a twist of his butt: "Let's go, you go home and pack your things, I'll buy the tickets."

Wei Dong: "...What about your depression?"

"Damn depression," Ke Xun said, "I'm just meditating on Zen, I don't know shit."

Wei Dong: "Then please tell me what kind of Zen you are practicing."

Ke Xun: "Joyful Zen."

Wei Dong: “Heh.”

However, the two of them were unable to go to S City because Weidong still had to go to work. Their family was just an ordinary family. If he didn't go to work, the pressure of life would be greater. What's more, Jinhua's visits were not always on weekends. Sometimes he had to go to the local area a day in advance to find a hotel to stay in for one night. In total, he had already taken several days off, so he could only use overtime work to avoid the crisis of being fired by his boss.

Ke Xun was finally no longer "depressed". He went to the gym he opened twice, walked alone, watched a movie, played billiards, went to the supermarket, bought various ingredients, and then stayed at home, cooking for himself, surfing the Internet, and occasionally chatting with the members of the "Jinhualun" group.

Mu Yiran was very busy. Nine times out of ten when I approached him on WeChat, he was not there. The remaining time, he didn't even look happy to Ke Xun.

Corgi: Look, look, even the marks I left on your face when I was sleeping are in the shape of my love for you.

Mooney: …

Mooney: What is this.

Corgi: The heart-shaped mark left by the pillow on my face.

Mooney: Ke Xun, I'm very busy. Please don't bother me unless it's important.

Corgi: I have something very important to tell you.

Mooney: Say.

Corgi: Mu Yiran, fall in love with me.

Mooney: …

Corgi: What is this?
