As the new Demon Queen, ...
Chapter 50 Bird's Beak Mask You have worn the special item "Bird's Beak Mask"...
The petals of the sunflower curled up slightly, as if examining the person in front of it. Archion gradually approached Cecilia with a chill on his body.
The moonlight was thin, and his figure slowly lengthened, interweaving with the twisted shadows around him, approaching the direction where Cecilia was.
As the distance between the two got closer, Cecilia came face to face with the huge flower disk, close enough to see each sunflower seed clearly.
Although there is no such crop in Cecia's world, Chen Ye once mentioned it.
It is said that sunflower seeds are delicious after being fried, and are suitable for eating when a group of people are chatting. I think they should be similar to the pastries eaten at parties.
Seeing the other person's face covered with sunflower seeds, she really wanted to pluck one off and taste it.
"I saw it... you saw it..."
Perhaps because his conversation with the girl was heard, Archion lost his previous composure and kept repeating the same words, looking a little weird.
"What should I do? What should I do? Should I get rid of it? But this is the only seed. Now... now is not the time..."
The sunflower seeds in the flower disk moved quickly, making a slight sound. The sound was so small that even Cecilia could only hear part of it intermittently.
Soon, Archion made a decision. Sunflower's head stopped shaking and it no longer approached Cecilia. Instead, it returned to its previous gentle and polite appearance.
"Why did you get up? Is there something wrong in the room?"
He asked softly, as if he was really just concerned about Cecia's sleep.
Seeing Cecilia's eyes fall on the vase, he stiffened, took a few deep breaths, and quickly adjusted his state.
"This is my mother's legacy." His voice was filled with nostalgia. "She loved this sunflower the most when she was alive. Now that she is gone, I have been taking good care of it. Sometimes when I think of her, I will talk to the sunflower..."
"Really? Then you are truly a filial son."
Taking his eyes away from the girl's head, Cecia sneered and didn't believe a single word he said.
What he just said to Sunflower had nothing to do with missing his mother. Besides, who would have a normal mother's relic be a human head?
Although she didn't know why the other party didn't pursue her snooping behavior and even deliberately made up this lame excuse to explain it to her, there was definitely something bad hidden behind this.
"The room is fine, nothing wrong, I hope you understand."
Cecia took advantage of the situation and followed the other party's words.
Now that she had just arrived, and since Archion himself didn't care, she wouldn't rush up and ask for trouble.
So, after both of them had their own ulterior motives, they reached a consensus and pretended nothing had happened and returned to their respective rooms.
…
"He's lying!"
As soon as they arrived in the room, the teddy bear jumped off Cecia's shoulder angrily, put its hands on its hips, and accused someone of evil deeds.
"In the game, I also saw the sunflower when I came to the room. At that time, he told me that he encountered the sunflower during an expedition."
"They advertised the sea of sunflowers on the Internet, but in reality, it has been dry for a long time and no one is maintaining the sea of sunflowers. All the sunflowers have withered, leaving only one half-dead plant, surviving among the corpses of its companions."
"Its condition was very bad at the time. If it hadn't been discovered by Archion, it would have died within two days."
As the story of itself and Archion was told, the teddy bear gradually calmed down and its eyes sparkled.
"Archien pulled up the sunflower by its roots and transplanted it into a vase. But strangely, the sunflower survived for more than five years and still showed no signs of withering. Therefore, he particularly loved this flower..."
After the story ended, the teddy bear thought about what happened just now. It stamped its feet angrily and continued, "In short, the person we met must be a fake. He knows nothing, but he occupied Archion's body for some purpose."
If we find two different statements, does it mean that one is true and the other is false?
Perhaps both statements are fabricated...
Cecia was thoughtful but didn't say it out loud.
"Don't worry, I will expose his true identity and clear Archion's name!"
The teddy bear was very motivated, its eyes were rolling around, and it really thought of the key point.
"Xia, in your eyes, is Archion the only one who looks this scary? What about the other male protagonists? What do they look like?"
Teddy Bear asked.
Cecia had met Teacher Ruan Lianghe before, but she asked him to draw portraits of the two of them, which means that the other male protagonists in her eyes might also look like monsters.
"Ruan Liang has two heads, and the skin on both heads is wrinkled and hairless."
"As for the teacher, it's hard to even tell his body is human-shaped. He looks like a pile of meat that's barely put together, with eyes all over his body."
Listening to Cecilia's description, the teddy bear shuddered subconsciously.
"But...but you're going to fall in love with them next!"
Teddy Bear's voice was a little excited.
The mere thought of the other person's description gave it a chill. If they were to have any intimate contact or even spend a long time together, it would go crazy.
But Cecia didn't care.
She hated school more than anything else.
The thought of having to sit at that damn desk again tomorrow and sit all day made her feel sore all over.
Compared to going to school, the first two copies were like a vacation!
Ding-dong-dong-ding——
A deafening bell suddenly rang, echoing throughout the campus.
"Now, we don't have to sleep."
Teddy Bear said pitifully.
"This is the wake-up bell in the academy. It will ring on time at 6 o'clock every morning. Students must rush to the classroom before 6:30... During this time, you have to tidy up your hair and clothes, and have a rich breakfast. Otherwise, you will be refused to enter the classroom because of your character's low satiety or appearance score."
"I can't waste even a second in half an hour. I missed the main storyline several times because I failed to enter the classroom, which prevented me from starting the subsequent strategy. I had to start over, so..."
"Why are you still taking your time here?"
The teddy bear was so anxious that he was jumping up and down. If it wasn't so small, it would have wanted to drag Cecilia to finish everything immediately and then rush to the classroom.
"Rules are dead, but people are alive."
On the side, Cecilia slowly tidied her clothes, and did not forget to find a hat and let the teddy bear lie on it, disguising it as a decoration.
"Hurry up! If you don't leave now, it will be too late!"
The teddy bear urged, its claws struggling to pull at Cecia's arm.
"Remember, I have memorized all the options for the main and side quests. No matter what happens, I will secretly tell you the solution. Just listen to my instructions."
It kept chattering away, feeling nervous and excited.
After all, it stayed in the dormitory yesterday and only saw Archion at night, so it was naturally looking forward to other characters in the game - this is its favorite game!
When the two went downstairs, the owner of the room had disappeared. Taking this opportunity, Cecilia did not rush out, but approached the vase in the living room.
She reached out her hand and tried to touch the girl's cheek.
Unlike the coldness I imagined, the girl seemed to be alive, with a warm touch on her skin that only living things could give her. When I looked closely, I could even see the rise and fall of the girl's breathing.
"You...why are you touching it!"
The teddy bear's voice trembled. Although the time of the ability had passed and it could only see ordinary sunflowers now, the image of the girl's head still lingered in its mind.
The thought of Cecia gently caressing the girl's cheek like that pervert yesterday made it feel a little nauseous.
"Strange, how did it survive?"
Cecilia picked up the vase and was very curious about its structure. She even wanted to pull the girl out to take a look.
But before she could do anything, a sudden cracking sound broke the silence.
The living room window was smashed by a stone, and the fragments were scattered all over the floor.
Outside the window, a figure jumped down from the tree branch, landing perfectly to avoid the shards of glass and easily entering the house.
"This is also one of the male protagonists in the plot!"
The teddy bear quickly reminded her, quietly poking Cecia with his paw, and deliberately lowering his voice.
"This person is elusive, and the chance of triggering the plot is random. Even the first encounter plot has several different directions."
"Try to hold him back while I observe. Once I figure out what's going on, I'll tell you how to deal with it."
Cecia nodded slightly, put down the vase in her hand, and placed it back to its original position before turning around to deal with the intruder.
Like the other male protagonists, the other person's appearance is also very strange, looking like a patchwork of a black cat and a human——
The body and face on the right side look like a human, while the left side looks like a cat, with an ugly dividing line in the middle. The rough stitches are like the first time something is sewn, crookedly putting two different species together.
"finally found you."
The half-human, half-cat monster said softly, with its hands in its pockets, it moved nimbly towards Cecia, tilting its head as if looking at something.
"From today on, you belong to me."
It stopped and was only a fist away from Cecia, but its head kept moving closer, aiming directly at Cecia's mouth.
"I remember now! This is the kiss line!"
The teddy bear suddenly spoke.
"This kiss is a mandatory plot in the game. The protagonist cannot refuse, and there is no way to escape. But Xia, you should run away. Although he looks quite normal to me, I can't imagine what kind of monster you see..."
Hearing this, Cecia raised her eyebrows. She was about to dodge, but found that her body could not move at all, as if it was forcibly fixed.
Taking out the axe from the system backpack... I can do it, but my arms can't move, and the axe is hanging in my hands, so it won't help.
Seeing the cat face getting closer and closer to her, Cecia chose the [Bird-beak Mask].
[Can the player wear it directly? 】
