Chi Yingxue lifted the stationery effect, and when she fell back to the ground, the epiphytic flower that fell to the ground first and was smashed, suddenly turned into a charred branch.
The five of them could clearly see the miraculous change and looked at each other. Chi Yingxue, who was the closest, simply took two steps forward and bent over to pick it up.
Translucent fingers slid through branches, catching nothing.
They, to this world, seem to have become incorporeal.
But the voice can still be transmitted, because the four partners soon heard the weak reminder of Kuang Jinxin: "Captain, spend there..."
Everyone turned their heads together, and Konina passed out at some point, leaning against the corner of the kitchen, lying on the ground beside the cluster of epiphytic flowers.
It seems that it has never participated in a battle, and even as if it was just picked from a tree, it is completely intact, and there are dewdrops on its fragrant petals.
Xu Wang looked at the flower, and then turned to look at the charred branches under the wall. Something flashed in his mind, but he couldn't catch it.
Just then, the epiphytes glowed a pale blue light.
The light was no longer faint, but became stronger and stronger, and instantly illuminated the entire kitchen.
In the psychedelic colors, the epiphytic flowers slowly turned into human figures.
He, or she, looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate features, clear eyes, almost transparent complexion, light cloth covering his body at will, a face between a boy and a girl, as if walking out of a forest the elf.
Leaning down, it gently dropped a kiss on Konina's forehead.
His eyes were full of emotion, pouring out freely.
In the quiet light blue, everyone heard the murmur-like love language—
"I remember that wonderful moment,
You appeared before me,
Like a fleeting phantom,
like a spirit of pure beauty,
…
Now the soul has begun to awaken,
So you appeared in front of me again,
…
My heart leaps in ecstasy,
For it all wakes up again,
With fascination, with inspiration,
There is life, there are tears, and there is love. "
The moment the whispers dissipated, everyone left the illusion in the oil painting and returned to 1310.
The room was very quiet, so quiet that it gave people the illusion that there were still whispers in their ears.
The secret passage on the wall is still there, but there is no sound anymore. Mr. Wei's team should have entered the next link of the escape line early, and they are fighting hard next to the ancient castle hotel.
There was no sound from the Han Buting team in the corridor, and even the traces of fighting in the house faded, except for the charred black mottles on the walls.
A gorgeous drapery bed, with a cluster of pale blue flowers on the dark green silk sheets.
Dark green and light blue, the corresponding very beautiful.
"The last words Epiphyte Flower said..." Xu Wang looked at Wu Sheng and asked, "Is it still a love poem?"
Wu Sheng nodded neatly: "It's still a love poem, it's still Pushkin's, 1825, "To Kane."
Xu Wang: "You answered too quickly..."
It happens that he knows some classic love poems, and he also believes that Wu Sheng has an unforgettable memory, but this kind of retrieval speed does not even require a search...
"I have read books on this subject for a while," Wu Sheng stopped here, and after a few seconds, his eyes turned from Xu Wang's face back to the epiphytic flower in the center of the bed, and lightly added the second half of the sentence, "Impression rather deep."
Xu Wang didn't know if it was his own delusion, but just stared at each other silently for a few seconds, Wu Sheng seemed to be waiting for him to speak or give some reaction.
but…
The only reaction he can think of is to complain about how good you are and what love poems you read.
Are your military advisors sure you want this
"Hula-"
The dark green silk bed sheet suddenly burst into a layer of translucent flames, and in an instant, the epiphytes were trapped in it.
The flame has a clear purpose, not hurting the sheets, not burning the curtains, but only burning light blue flowers.
The accident happened too fast, before the five had time to react, the epiphytic flower was scorched.
The flame disappeared in an instant, like a minion rushing back to return to the devil.
But at the same time as it left, the remains of the epiphytic flower turned into a small scorched black branch, and the intact epiphytic flower reappeared beside the branch.
It is exactly the same as the scene in the painting not long ago.
As dull as Qian Ai, he could see clearly: "The epiphyte flower is a substitute, and the twisted braid in 1829 is Cornina."
Kuang Jinxin echoed: "Epiflora uses herself to deceive evil spirits, and there is no way to escape, so she can only express herself by writing a letter."
"It shouldn't have thought that Konina would come here according to the address." Wu Sheng calmly analyzed, "Because once Konina enters the castle hotel, there is a danger of being discovered by evil spirits."
Xu Wang agrees with the love line outlined by Qian Ai, Kuang Jinxin and Wu Sheng. From the experience and various clues in the painting, it is impossible to deduce a second script. But he just felt that there was something missing...
Chi Yingxue listened quietly, with no turbulence in his heart. Compared with the deep love of the NPC, he was more concerned: "What is the task of handing in the papers?"
A quest line always has an end point.
"Go back to 1829." Xu Wang gave up pursuing those illusory feelings, carefully picked up the epiphytic flower, and looked at all the little friends, "We promised to help her find the person who wrote the love letter, and now we have the answer."
There was no one in the corridor, and I didn't know where the colleagues were struggling. In short, the five little friends returned very smoothly. Before reaching the place, they turned a fork in the road and went to room 1825 to take a look.
In 1825, the only time when Epiphytes wrote the love poems sung to Konina by her own mouth - at the beginning of this level, they followed "I Once Loved You" in 1829 and found the girl with braids, and it really started. love line.
But the same routine, the owl did not come twice, there was nothing in 1825.
Just when they were about to leave, there was a huge "boom—" from the window, and the window trembled.
The five people were startled, and immediately rushed to the window to check.
As a result, I saw that the front lawn of the ancient castle hotel was blasted into a huge deep pit, the turf flew over, revealing dark soil, and not far from the big pit, three passers-by were arranging new explosives in full swing. The face is under the sun, there is a flash of reflection, it is the sweat of hard work.
On the other side, one person was driving the excavator, and one person was directing outside. With skillful cooperation, the northeast corner of the lawn had also been excavated, which seemed to be connected to the big hole over there.
Kuang Jinxin: "Are these five people a team?"
Wu Sheng: "From the point of view of the purpose of the action, the first team is correct."
Qian Ai: "Working together to destroy the lawn, what quest line is that?"
Chi Yingxue: "…"
Xu Wang couldn't think of it either, but he was very fortunate that his team didn't choose such a foolish physical work.
Regardless of whether there are or not, the five people with epiphytes quickly returned to 1829.
It was Konina who opened the door, but when they followed the girl into the house and wanted to tell her the truth immediately, they found an old man sitting in a chair with kind eyes and a familiar face.
"You... came to our door to file for us?" Apart from that, Xu Wang couldn't think of a second reason.
The old writer, who got up politely, was no less surprised than them: "Do you know Nancy?"
Nancy, the name of the girl with braids in this life.
"You know each other?" Twisted plait looked at the five friends, and then at the old writer, and was stunned.
The three looked at each other, and the air was suddenly quiet.
Xu Wang and the others didn't tell the old man about the love line at all. They just asked the old man for inspiration because of his identity as a writer, which led to legends and archives. Based on these, the old man had no reason to appear here.
Seeing that neither side was talking, Twisted Braid acted as a bridge of communication and explained to Xu Wang and the others: "On the first day I lived here, I met Mr. Daoke in the banquet hall. I am his loyal fan!"
Then he said to the old man, "Mr. Dauken, they are the ones I told you to help me find the sender of the letter."
The old man was stunned, and immediately returned to his kind smile: "It turned out that it was you who helped Nancy. How is the progress? Do you have any clues?"
Five friends: "… "
More than clues, there are answers.
But the end is about to come, and suddenly there are many onlookers, no matter how you look at it, there is a conspiracy! ! !
After a long silence, Captain Xu confirmed with the old man for the last time—
"Can it be archived?"
"cannot."
"thanks."
The five partners quickly gathered in the corner of the room.
Qian Ai made a decisive decision: "Tell the truth directly."
Kuang Jinxin agreed: "Well, soldiers will come to block, and water will come to cover!"
Wu Sheng shrugged: "I said it before, you can just rush forward."
Chi Yingxue smiled: "Relax, it's a big deal to clear the field."
Xu Wang: "..."
If there is no last sentence, he will really feel at ease immediately! ! !
Refused to ponder the meaning of "clearing the field", Xu Wang brought epiphytic flowers and came to the braid.
Taking a deep breath, he didn't make any foreshadowing, it was simple and clear, and he gave the truth: "The letter is written by it."
The braided girl was stunned, and the old man beside her was also confused.
Just as Xu Wang was about to tell the story, a dark red shadow suddenly appeared on the wall behind the girl and the old man.
Xu Wang's heart sank, he expected to fight the evil spirit to the death in the end, but he didn't expect that the truth in just a few words turned out to be a spell to initiate the evil spirit's revenge!
The epiphytic flower in his hand seemed to have a sense, emitting a strong dazzling blue light.
"I finally... found you..."
The shadow turned into an evil spirit, roared out, and rushed towards the back of the braided braid fiercely!
The epiphytic flower turned into a human form, and hugged the braided girl from behind at a faster speed!
The evil spirit pounced on Epiphytic Flower's body, but a layer of pale golden light suddenly appeared on the slender and thin back!
The evil spirit was bounced away heavily, and let out a painful, shrill scream.
The epiphytic flower that has been burned by the fire of hell has been prepared, and there is a moment of daze.
But the five friends who were watching clearly saw that the golden light came from the old man's crutch!
But now, the crutch in the old man's hand has turned into a cross. He holds it up to the evil spirit, and his whole person has a strange change, like two figures stacked together, like the original writer and another one. people.
Xu Wang and Wu Sheng looked at each other.
Can't go wrong.
It was the priest who had said Amy had confessed to him when they were looking for information in the village.
"Amy, let it go," was the old man's voice, but with the calmness and peace of a priest, "Konina is not a witch, but the moment you gave birth to a hurtful heart, you became an evil spirit. "
"She manipulated those petals with witchcraft... I wanted to save the whole village..."
The old man shook his head and said no more, just said again: "Let go."
The evil spirit laughed loudly, the evil was so strange that it made one's scalp tingle.
In the next instant, the walls of the entire room were on fire!
In just a few seconds, the five friends couldn't hold it!
The old man could barely hear a sigh, and the cross he was holding suddenly burst out with extremely dazzling golden light.
The flame went out at once.
The evil spirit twisted in pain, but within a few seconds of even having a chance to struggle, it was completely reduced to ashes in the light.
The cross turned back into a cane, but the old man really turned into a pastor. He retracted his arms, tapped the cane, turned around, and looked at the epiphyte that was still protecting the braided girl, and then looked at the five little friends, embarrassed. A smile: "Sorry, I should have done this back then."
Wu Sheng, Qian Ai, Kuang Jinxin, Chi Yingxue: "..."
Xu Wang: "Cough, it's better to come early than coincidentally."
Dare BOSS is here.
The braided girl finally saw the person protecting her.
Confused, she was about to speak when Epiphytic Flower gently covered her forehead with her palm.
The braided girl fell asleep peacefully.
Epiphyte took her to the bed and gently covered the quilt.
Xu Wang was inexplicable. After all the hardships, it finally came to a critical moment when he could express his confession. What is the number of ways to suddenly press a pause
"I only said that the letter was written by you, and I didn't say anything else." As a half love participant, he hurriedly reminded.
Epiphyte shook her head gently: "When she wakes up again, she will forget what you said."
Xu Wang was stunned for a while before he realized what the other party meant, and couldn't believe it: "You erased her memory?!"
Epiphyte looked down at the sleeping girl with gentle eyes: "The evil spirit has dispersed, she should return to her own life, she doesn't have to remember the letter, and she doesn't have to remember me."
Xu Wang: "...Are you willing?"
There was a bit of confusion in the eyes of Epiphyte, but soon, it became transparent and calm: "She doesn't even know who I am, it's not me that she falls in love with, it's just a phantom woven from those love letters... It's like me too."
Xu Wang: "..."
What is this realization? What he fell in love with was not Konina, but the phantom in his heart
The ending of the love line is to tell them that there is no love, and fairy tales are all lies
What is true love! ! !
Epiphytic Flower looked at him quietly for a long time.
Xu Wang almost thought that the other party heard his inner roar.
But in the end, the other party only left a sentence of unknown meaning—
"I have never, never been really burned by the fire of hell."
Before Xu Wang could continue to ask, the epiphytic flower had returned to its original body and fell into Xu Wang's palm again.
Five people, one flower, two NPCs.
The world is quiet.
No happy "ding-"
Only on the lawn outside, the excavator persistently "speaks".
With the last glimmer of hope, Xu Wang looked at the pastor: "Can you hand in the papers?"
Pastor: "No."
Xu Wang: "Thank you."
The five friends looked at each other in dismay, completely losing their direction of struggle.
Kuang Jinxin: "It's not the end of the love line yet?"
Qian Ai: "This is a little embarrassing..."
Chi Yingxue: "Do you need me to interrogate this priest?"
Wu Sheng: "..."
Xu Wang: "Xiaochi, stay away from the old man's crutches, I'm afraid he will kick you."
Looking for a corner away from the noise of the window, Xu Wang sat on the carpet and thought quietly.
Qian Ai could see that he was dealing with these two days, so he asked Wu Sheng, "Aren't you going to help me think together?"
The latter looked at him and suddenly asked, "Why did Epiphyte give up?"
Qian Ai scratched his head: "Didn't you say it, the girl doesn't love it, it's just the phantom."
Wu Sheng: "How did you judge it?"
Qian Ai: "… "
Wu Sheng: "Does Epiphyte really love her?"
Qian Ai: "It should be, or can I be a stand-in from generation to generation and get burned?"
Wu Sheng: "Then why do you say that you have never been really burned by the fire of hell?"
Qian Ai: "… "
Wu Sheng: "..."
Qian Ai understood Wu Junshi's mood: "The love line is so fascinating, let the captain figure it out for himself."
Wu Sheng: "Yeah."
Qian Ai: "Why did you choose this line in the first place?"
Wu Sheng: "Young, naive and ignorant."
Qian Ai: "...I forgive you on behalf of Moon."
A few minutes later, the pastor turned back into an old writer. Although he was dazed about the status quo, he still resigned decisively, as simple and rude as last time, as if he was in a hurry to go back to get his salary.
In the corner, Captain Xu turned out a letter.
It's not the letters that the girl with braids gave them later, but the letter that guided them at the beginning of the love line. The letter contained a poem - "I Once Loved You".
The love poem is not long, but it is filled with sadness from beginning to end.
Especially the last two sentences "May God bless you, another person will love you like me", I feel sad to read.
At one time, Xu Wang thought that this was the tone of the love line, and they were about to experience a sadistic story that they could not get in love and could only give up in despair.
But looking back now, Epiphytic Flower did give up, but it didn't break her heart. Instead, she was more open-minded and transparent than when she was in love.
Even when it was love, the letters it wrote to the braided girl were full of warm emotions, and they were never discouraged or discouraged!
Xu Wang raised his head abruptly. A few steps away, Kuang Jinxin and Chi Yingxue sat quietly, not knowing how long they had been watching him.
"Have you found anything?" Kuang Jinxin read out "the epiphany" in his captain's eyes, and immediately asked expectantly.
Xu Wang said firmly: "There is one more person."
Kuang Jinxin was stunned.
Chi Yingxue held her cheeks, originally listening or not. The long-term comfort made him almost sleepy. As soon as Xu Wang came to this conclusion, he was stunned.
"There's one more?" In his soft final voice, there was a subtle expectation, "It's more difficult to deal with than an evil spirit?"
Xu Wang: "...and a sad person who can't be loved!"
Chi Yingxue paused before giving Xu Wang a smile: "Oh, it's good."
"..." Xu Wang swore that he had received a "Haha" emoji.
Seeing that he seemed to be really pondering, Wu Junshi and Qian, who were far away from love, immediately gathered.
Wu Sheng asked the most practical: "The basis."
Xu Wang picked up the letter in his hand: "This poem is not about epiphytes, it is about silently liking Konina, but such liking makes it happy, not sad."
Wu Sheng: "..."
Xu Wang: "If you think about the poem in the oil painting, Epiphytic Flower confided to Konina herself, it said, 'My heart is jumping in ecstasy', and being able to love it silently is enough to make it happy."
Wu Sheng: "... um."
Qian Ai: "Captain, in fact, the military advisor doesn't understand, and I don't understand either, but it's okay, you continue."
"I have never been really burned by the fire of hell..." Kuang Jinxin muttered to himself, and suddenly, his eyes widened as if awakened, and he looked at Xu Wang, "There is another person who is protecting the epiphytes, that person is the real substitute! "
Xu Wang was almost desperate in Qian Ai, Wu Sheng, and Chi Yingxue's dazed eyes, and now he just wanted to hug Classmate Hao Kuang's face: "That's it! It's just sad, sad, and jealous. Despair is true love!"
Kuang Jinxin: "That's why Epiphytic Flower didn't confess and wiped out the girl's memory!"
Xu Wang: "This is not the love line between the two of them!"
Kuang Jinxin: "..."
Xu Wang: "..."
The two of them were empowered together: "Branch!!!"
Wu Sheng, Qian Ai, and Chi Yingxue who were listening in silence: "..."
They may be better suited to go out on the lawn outside the window, blasting holes and digging the ground.
