Chapter 57 Flower Scroll (7)

Gu Qiufeng's left eye was in so much pain that he couldn't open it at all. His vision was greatly impaired at night. He said in a hoarse voice, "Prove your identity."

Yu Chi'ang was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and released his spirit body in the form of a ragdoll cat into Gu Qiufeng's arms.

Then, he jumped down from the eaves and asked hurriedly, "Senior, why are you here?"

"I have met up with Duan Chouyu. We sneaked in here pretending to be doctors treating the princess." Gu Qiufeng said gently, "Did you encounter any problems in the past two days?"

Yu Chiang asked, "Senior, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Gu Qiufeng sighed and told Yu Chiang about the strange phenomenon he had just encountered.

Yu Chi'ang said, "Senior, put your hands down. I'll check if anything is wrong. If anything is wrong, we have to find a healer to treat you."

Gu Qiufeng put down his hand as he was told. He had now completely lost the perception of his left eye and was not even sure whether it was open at the moment. He could only judge the condition of his left eye from the changes in Yu Chiang's expression.

"What's wrong? My left eye was injured before." Gu Qiufeng said.

Yu Chiang pursed his lips tightly and did not speak for a while.

He suspected it was his own illusion.

Under the moonlight, Yu Chiang saw a circle of enchanting blue light in the iris of his senior's left eye.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qiufeng said, and suddenly exclaimed, "My left eye seems to be able to see things gradually. There shouldn't be anything serious with my eye, right?"

Yu Chi'ang watched the circle of blue light gradually shrink in Gu Qiufeng's pupils, and finally seemed to be tattooed on them, like a mark that made him feel uncomfortable.

He said with an unpleasant expression: "Senior, the condition of your left eye may be a little more serious than an injury."

There are blue lines in Gu Qiufeng's left eye.

After listening to the news that Yu Chi'ang told him, Gu Qiufeng touched the corner of his eyes with his hand, almost thinking of what happened in the corner of his eyes at night.

Could it be that the other party came here just for this?

But this matter is indeed a bit serious.

First of all, we need to confirm what is in his eyes. If it is a parasite or a curse, then we will be in big trouble.

Although Gu Qiufeng was a little suspicious, he still patted Yu Chiang on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay. Why are you more scared than me? If he dies, he dies."

"No, senior, I won't let anything happen to you." Yu Chi'ang said.

After Gu Qiufeng's reminder, Yu Chiang calmed down and said, "Senior, did you find anything in the Princess's Mansion?"

He briefly recounted his experiences after entering the dungeon, and focused on telling Gu Qiufeng the story about the flower god that he had heard.

In fact, Yu Chiang had no plans to show up for the time being. He just wanted to explore the Princess's Mansion first to look for clues to the flower scroll fragments.

But I didn't expect to meet Gu Qiufeng on the way. He showed up because he was worried about his senior's situation.

The two men returned to the room, and Gu Qiufeng handed the flower scroll fragments to Yu Chi'ang, and told him the story of the lotus pond at night.

"So it seems that the man the princess painted at night should be the flower god." Gu Qiufeng said, "The flower viewing banquet is also to beg for the flower god to come. In this case, there is an information gap error in the game for us."

Yu Chiang said, "What?"

Gu Qiufeng said, "On the surface, Princess Anyang has been persecuted by the Painted Skin Ghost recently. For some reason, her temperament has changed drastically. She is actually holding a flower viewing banquet at this critical moment. At this time, players will generally only focus on Princess Anyang and the Painted Skin Ghost."

However, there is an important character missing from this information.

Goddess of flowers.

"It seems that the flower viewing banquet was not Princess Anyang's idea, but was supposed to be held anyway, as a way for the royal family to atone for their sins. The Painted Skin Ghost started to cause trouble in order to destroy the conditions for the Flower God to descend." Gu Qiufeng said, "The flower viewing banquet was the inevitable condition."

Why does the Painted Skin Ghost want to stop the Flower God from coming?

"According to the inertia of previous games, the boss of this dungeon should be the Flower God." Gu Qiufeng said, "Our side quest Flower Scroll Fragments is also related to the Flower God. Only by collecting and piecing together the Flower Scrolls can we fulfill one of the conditions for the Flower God to descend."

In this way, the plot of this copy is finally revealed.

Yu Chiang frowned: "If the Flower God is the BOSS, then wouldn't it be helping the tyrant if we completed the mission of the Flower God's arrival? That would be a dead end."

Gu Qiufeng: "The side quest must be completed. It is probably related to the main quest. But we must disrupt the flower viewing banquet where the flower god descends."

This is the core mission of this copy.

But, what if the person on the scroll is the god of flowers?

Could it be that the one who entered his room that night and attacked his left eye was also the flower god?

Why did the flower god do this?

"Forget it. There's no point in thinking too much. The system will announce the completion of the side quest after daybreak." Gu Qiufeng said, "A new quest should be issued by then, and we will react accordingly based on the wind direction."

*

"You said, someone attacked your eyes yesterday?" Duan Chouyu frowned when she was told the news when she came to see Gu Qiufeng the next day. "Nothing happened to me last night. I thought the flower roll fragments would not cause anything."

Duan Chouyu: "Let me keep the fragments tonight. If there is any danger, just look for me."

Gu Qiufeng said, "Take turns to keep it and give it a try."

As soon as the sun came out this morning, the system announced that "the side quest has been completed" and they are now waiting for the second side quest.

Gu Qiufeng told Duan Chouyu what Yu Chiang had said.

After all, Yu Chiang did not enter the princess's mansion in a formal manner, so he left after dawn.

It just so happened that some of them were outside the Princess's Mansion and some were inside, so it was convenient for them to observe from all sides and collect clues.

After sending Duan Chouyu away, Gu Qiufeng was alone in the room and summoned Arcana back through the card.

Akana asked, "Mr. Gu, what's the matter?"

Akana learned this name from Fenghe.

Gu Qiufeng knew clearly that Feng He was like an immature child. She had a certain embryonic complex towards him and was possessive in some ways. He was vaguely hostile towards Yu Chiang and others who were close to Gu Qiufeng.

So Manager Gu originally thought that Feng He and Arcana would need some time to adjust to each other, but the two of them got along surprisingly well.

Gu Qiufeng also couldn't figure out what Fenghe's attitude was. It couldn't be that she was just hostile to humans, right?

He called Archana over, mainly to ask about the problem of the eyes.

Although Yu Chiang and Duan Chouyu were enemies in the game, unfortunately, they both entered the game after the demise of the God's Tears. Gu Qiufeng felt that it might not be a good thing to let them know too much at the moment. So even though he suspected that the change in his eyes was related to the God's Tears from the beginning, he did not show it in front of them.

The only one who is most familiar with the Tears of God is Arcana.

Gu Qiufeng repeated his experience to Arcana, whose expression gradually became serious. She confirmed, "You mean, your eyes hurt at first because you saw something you shouldn't have seen, and this incident made it worse and it became like this now?"

"Yes. I have not seen the Divine Tears, but I have seen the skills that the Divine Tears give you. I want to know if my eyes have any connection with the Divine Tears?" Even if he didn't want to admit it, Gu Qiufeng knew that there was a subtle and intricate connection between him and the Divine Tears.

Arcana looked at Gu Qiufeng's left eye carefully, then nodded, "When Divine Tears doesn't use skills, her eyes look like this. But her skills disappeared... You and I both saw it," she asked puzzledly, "Why did it appear on you?"

Gu Qiufeng: "Sure enough."

He had a guess.

It wasn't the Divine Tear's skill that affected him.

Rather, it was the alienation that he himself created, which was exactly the same as the Divine Tears.

Because the injury to his left eye occurred before he met Arcana, perhaps the mutation of his left eye was determined from the moment he saw Xie Xin.

Gu Qiufeng murmured, "What is the relationship between the Divine Tears and me?"

He comforted Arcana and found a pair of black contact lenses from the mall and put them on. At least for now, he couldn't let other players notice that something was wrong with him.

If that was the case, why did the flower god sneak attack his left eye last night?

Gu Qiufeng has already determined that there is a 90% chance that the man in white he saw is the copy boss, the Flower God.

But the other party's motives are currently unclear.

But it doesn’t matter. As the mission progresses, he will have a formal confrontation with the flower god sooner or later.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Gu Qiufeng tapped the table beside him with one hand, inexplicably feeling as if he had forgotten something.

The things in the thatched hut waited happily for a whole morning, but when they found out that nothing came of it, they started cursing angrily in the house.

Damn it, humans are so cunning, how dare they fool it!!!

"What's going on?"

Suddenly, there was a voice outside the house. It immediately stopped cursing, turned its dim eyes twice, and began to launch a mental attack, trying to trick the person into taking it out.

When it gets out, it will swallow the human who deceived it to vent its anger!

Xie Songjin stood outside the thatched hut, listening calmly to the voice inside the house speaking in a cherry tomato voice, then he fiddled with the red string in his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll let you out right now."

The lock was bound by his red string and broke into pieces with a slight stir.

When it saw the light coming through the crack in the door, it opened its mouth excitedly, intending to swallow the fool at the door in one bite.

As a result, when the door was completely opened, countless silk threads suddenly rushed into the room, entangled it layer by layer, and consumed it like silkworms.

Xie Songjin retracted the red thread and looked around the thatched house. After finding that there was nothing good, he withdrew his gaze with a lack of interest and walked to the side of the woman in the red skirt not far away: "Little Tomato, let's go, there's nothing."

"Wait." Cherry Tomato said coldly, "I smell the scent of a disgusting person."

Xie Songjin was stunned for a moment: "Xie Songlan, when did you awaken this skill?"

Cherry Tomato Xie Songlan rolled her eyes at him, turned around, and met Duan Chouyu face to face in the shadows not far away.

She chuckled: "It's you, you annoying guy."
