The flower girl ghost was startled and saw a flash before her eyes. The axe that was supposed to hit Qiao Xi had already hit the old lady's head.
Blood spurted out of the old lady's head and flowed down her cheeks.
“How dare you!!” The old lady was so angry that her facial features wrinkled together and her mouth was gasping for breath.
What was different from other old ladies was that not only did she have teeth in her mouth, but her teeth were pitch black and oozing scarlet saliva and mucus, making her look disgusting and hideous.
Qiao Xi subconsciously covered his mouth and nose and took a step back: "Even if you are an NPC, you should at least pay attention to hygiene."
"I think you are tired of living!" Several knives appeared in the old lady's hands at some point, the blades flashed coldly, and all of them stabbed at Qiao Xi.
The flower girl ghost only felt another flower in front of her eyes, and all the knives stabbed back into the old lady.
Josh pulled the knife from her shoulder and the old lady's arm fell to the ground.
She smiled, wiped the blood stains on the knife with the old lady's clothes, and then asked: "I just came to ask you something, are you willing to tell me?"
After a moment, the old lady finally compromised, put her brow against the knife in Josh's hand, and let the man in.
Josh looked at her kindly and said, “If you had been so well behaved earlier, wouldn’t you have to suffer so much?”
The flower girl ghost swallowed her saliva. It seemed that she was quite sensible after being obedient for the past few days.
The old lady looked even older. She ushered the man into the house and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Josh looked at her: "Do you know the story of the Rose and the Nightingale?"
The old lady's face froze, and her expression instantly became very ugly: "I don't know!"
Qiao Xi pulled a knife from her body and played with it in his hand: "Is that so..."
The old lady screamed, covering her wound, and blood gushed out.
Josh asked again: "Then do you know the story of the Rose and the Nightingale?"
The old lady was quite tough at first, but after being stabbed and pulled out by Samsara's knives several times, with bloody holes all over her body, she finally compromised: "I'll tell you...I'll tell you, okay?"
Josh smiled and nodded: "Look, if you had told me at the beginning, wouldn't there be so many problems? I'm a very easy-going person."
The old lady with knives stuck all over her body turned into a hedgehog: "..."
The ghost of the flower girl who was stuck with the talisman felt a chill in her chest: "..."
The old lady said: "Everyone in town knows about the nightingale and the rose, but you have to ask me about it."
Qiao Xi took out a fruit knife from somewhere.
The old lady went straight to the point awkwardly: "The nightingale is the most beautiful singing bird in the town. Every time it sings, it will turn into a beautiful girl. It lives outside the rose garden all year round. One day, the nightingale fell in love with a rose in the rose garden. In order to make the rose turn into a human and fall in love with her, the nightingale went to the witch for help. The witch told her that only if she sang for the rose sincerely for seven days, the rose could turn into a human and fall in love with the nightingale."
"Every day the nightingale sings for the rose, and every day the rose grows a part of a human body. But during these seven days, the nightingale falls in love with a philosophical man, and the man needs the nightingale to bring a rose to show her love."
"In order to convince the man of her love, the Nightingale tricked the Rose into falling asleep. After the Rose fell asleep, the Nightingale broke the rose into pieces and brought them to the man. However, the man gave the rose to the princess and abandoned the Nightingale. The Nightingale failed to fulfill the Witch's request, and the Rose died tragically at the hands of her lover."
"From then on, the town fell into a curse. All those who were unfaithful to love would be cursed and become fertilizer for flower vines, and their souls would never find rest."
Josh nodded in understanding: "So that's how it is."
The identity she drew was the Nightingale, and the man she saw in the illusion was most likely the Rose in the story.
So her identity should be the nightingale who betrayed the rose.
According to this statement, if you want to break the curse of the town, you have to start with the rose.
She recalled what the man said last night. He asked her to love him?
That rose path must have some special meaning.
Josh looked at her: "I have one last question."
The old lady looked at her.
Josh: "Did you also suddenly age because of the curse, boss lady?"
The flower girl ghost blinked blankly.
But the old lady's expression suddenly changed, and she jumped up and tried to strangle Josh's neck.
She easily spun around and after a few stabs of the knife, the old lady calmed down.
"How do you know my identity..." The old lady covered the bloody hole on her body, her face pale with pain, not at all as majestic as before.
The ghost flower girl standing nearby couldn't help but feel sympathy for the old lady. She usually acted so majestically in the town, taking advantage of her seniority and bullying others, but today she was almost killed.
She couldn't help but glance at Josh beside her.
Who is this woman?
One moment he seems very strong, and the next moment he faints on the spot after smelling the roses, like a rookie.
Seeing that she admitted it so quickly, Qiao Xi took back the remaining knives in his hand with some regret, "You and the hotel owner are husband and wife, right? Why aren't you with him?"
"She and the inn owner? She looks like she's about to go into a coffin, right? The inn owner is only in his 40s..." The flower girl ghost was dumbfounded.
Barrage: [Said what I wanted to say. 】

[Boss: Age is not important, I mainly like mature people.]
