Yu Ze frowned slightly: "It's impossible for the monster to let us solve the mystery so easily."
Josh looked at the two of them and said, "If my guess is correct, the monsters' attacks will be more powerful tonight."
If the man wanted Josh to stay in the copy, he would kill her physical body as much as possible.
Therefore, Yu Ze and others will face an even more powerful wave of monsters tonight.
There were a bunch of eager players lurking outside the tavern, not only Xue Guo, Turbine and others, but also Li Yue and other teams.
They were all waiting for Josh to be left alone.
There were quite a few players and monsters staring at her.
Yu Ze obviously thought of this as well and became more alert.
As dusk fell, the afterglow in the sky set and the whole town was shrouded in darkness.
The rose vines were stirring, and sharp thorns grew out from the shadows, revealing a bit of hunger, as if they couldn't wait to do something.
Qiao Xi arrived at the square early and wove a spider web, keeping a close eye on the movements around him.
The surrounding players approached Josh's direction quietly.
Xue Guo and others hid in the dark, ready to take advantage of any opportunity.
There was an endless stream of monsters and rose vines emerging from underground.
The kissing NPCs gradually became crazy.
Many players were affected, and their eyes gradually became hot as they stared at Josh.
Yu Ze looked a little cold and pulled Qiao Xi behind him.
At that moment, Qiao Xi felt a flash before her eyes, and she knew that the man was here again.
When she opened her eyes again, she was indeed standing in that rose void again.
In the deep and hazy mist, roses were piled up into small hills, and on top of the hills, a rose throne stood proudly. A man sat upright on the rose throne, with his hands and feet entangled in flower vines. The rose crown on his head was exquisite and gorgeous, with a very Western Rococo style, but there was no femininity in him, but instead a gloomy and strange beauty.
"You're here? Come to me, I'm waiting for you, little nightingale." The man's deep, sexy and gorgeous voice carried an imperceptible temptation that made people relax their body and mind after listening to it, and they just wanted to obey him infinitely.
Josh looked at the road paved with roses and thorns under his feet. One foot stepped on the rose road, and blood oozed out from his feet, as if he had been standing here all night from last night to tonight.
She raised her head and looked at the man on the throne.
The man lowered his eyes and looked at her with a smile, like a god high above, encouraging his believers to prove their loyalty and faith with flesh and blood.
Josh took the next step from last night.
The moment her other foot stepped on the rose thorn, double the pain came from under her feet. She pursed her lips and stepped down hard.
As she took a step forward, new bodies appeared beside the Rose Path. They were the hotel owner and the old lady. The old lady had returned to her forties.
The hotel owner and the old lady looked like they were fighting each other. Both of them had knives in their hands and stabbed each other.
The boss pulled the old lady's hair with his other hand.
The old lady dug out the boss's eyeballs with her other hand.
Qiao Xi was surprised and glanced over, only to see phantoms appearing on the two people.
In the illusion, the hotel owner cheated on the cashier girl in the store while his wife was pregnant. The boss's wife and the boss had a big fight and the child miscarried.
After that, the boss's wife started to have affairs with various men.
Gradually, obvious changes appeared on the proprietress. Whenever the sun rose, the skin on her face would age rapidly, and when the moonlight came, she would return to her original appearance.
Qiao Xi suddenly remembered what the flower-selling ghost said during the day, that the tavern was run by an old lady and a woman. During the day, the old lady came out to buy vegetables, and only at night would the woman open the door to receive customers.
So, is this what’s at stake for them?
Because of infidelity in marriage?
But she didn’t understand. Since they both cheated on each other, why did the boss seem to have no problem?
Josh looked at the man on the throne: "You did all this? You cursed the whole town."
The man's Adam's apple rolled and he chuckled: "I told you, people who are unfaithful to love will be punished."
Red mist gathered in front of her, and the man's shadow appeared in front of her: "We all have to believe in love, right? Love is the most beautiful thing in the world. No one would dislike love."
His figure came and went on the rose path, then lingered around Josh.
Qiao Xi frowned slightly: "You advocate love, so the butcher abuses his wife, and the wife cannot leave. The hotel owner and his wife cheat on each other, but they can only stick to each other and cannot remarry. The love in your eyes makes everyone live in pain. This is not love at all!"
"Tsk...hahahahahaha." The man's shadow suddenly laughed crazily. Roses swayed in the wind, and the rich rose fragrance had a bewitching scent.
He suddenly approached Josh and held Josh's face as if he was holding a rare treasure.
Against the backdrop of his big palm, her face looked pitifully small, almost like a weak kitten.
Facing her beautiful big eyes, the man felt surprisingly good: "Then baby, tell me, what is love?"
"This..." Qiao Xi was stunned. She subconsciously wanted to speak, but she couldn't seem to find any words to describe love.
She doesn't know what love is at all.
This was the first time Josh felt at a loss for words.
The man looked at her frustrated look, and he was in a good mood. He leaned over and kissed her eyes: "Little fool, you haven't even tasted it, how do you know what love is?"
Qiao Xi frowned slightly. She really didn't know, but it seemed that the brothers and sisters in the sect were all happy when they were in love.
She also subconsciously felt that love was a beautiful and happy existence.
The man raised his hand to trace her eyebrows, and her beautiful face was reflected in his deep eyes.
What a good kid.
He was so soft-hearted that he held her in his palms with heartache, wishing he could hold all the roses in front of her: "You don't understand, the essence of love is pain, all the joy and happiness are its disguise, love will end up in pain, endless pain."
“Only pain can be profound, only pain can make people impressed and remembered forever, remember?”
Josh blinked, stared at him, and suddenly asked: “Are you brainwashing me?”
The man looked slightly startled: "What?"
Josh: "I can hear that. You're brainwashing me."
The man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. One day, you will know that what I said is the truth."
Before Qiao Xi could say anything, the man raised his hand and pressed his cold, slender fingers against her lips.
"You don't know how to love yet, my little nightingale." The man looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "Don't be in a hurry to deny my words."
