Chapter 138: Garden of Eden [The senses restored for you this time are: hearing...
"Take him away."
Cecia ordered coldly, looking at Catherine, "He is also a victim, remember to be gentle."
"As you command, Your Highness."
Since the other party was awake, Cecilia no longer paid attention to what happened next. She asked Catherine to settle Chen Ye and the others, and then went to the central area again.
"Your Highness, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
As soon as I arrived at the palace, the blue-haired mermaid came to greet me. She was respectful and her light blue eyes seemed to be flowing with water.
"The leader of the blood clan and the mother of the Perseran clan arrived before you and have gone to the dormitory to rest. You see..."
"Saren, I need to rest too."
Cecia yawned and lazily threw her cloak on the sofa. "As for the copy information, I'll tell you tomorrow."
"...Okay, I hope you have a good sleep."
The blue-haired mermaid called "Seren" bowed slightly, but took a few steps back before speaking again: "Your Highness, I guess there must have been a special pollution riot in the demon territory. I heard that you didn't execute the infected people?"
Infected?
Are you referring to the people who are controlled by the pollution?
"So what?"
Cecilia stopped and looked back at him.
"This is the role of humans. It is humans who purify the pollution in the bodies of the infected."
Although Seren remained polite on the surface, the greed in his eyes was almost unbearable.
"Want humans?"
She raised her eyebrows and looked at him jokingly, "Wait until the next instance opens. It will depend on your ability how many humans you can bring back."
"With these words from the Demon King, I feel at ease."
Seren bowed again, a smile on his lips, "Well, I'll take my leave."
[Dear players, a new copy will be loaded for you soon. Countdown is five seconds. Five, four, three...]
Curled up in the soft quilt, Cecia heard a mechanical sound in her head, and the countdown on it kept ticking.
Huh?
This time, they didn't have time to prepare for the dungeon. She hadn't told Seren anything yet. That guy had bad luck...
A familiar feeling of dizziness came over her, and overwhelming darkness enveloped her body, as if she was falling down.
[The copy "Garden of Eden" has been loaded. The number of players in this copy is: fifty. ]
[As a sinner in the Garden of Eden, the player will be restored to his original state and deprived of his five senses by the gods - vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch. ]
[In order to let sinners learn to love, the gods will randomly pair sinners together and make them lovers. In a sense, lovers are a community of destiny and cannot hurt each other or be separated by more than five meters.]
[As long as you eat the apple in the Garden of Eden, you can randomly restore one of your senses. When the player restores all five senses, it is considered that the dungeon has been cleared. ]
[The lover chosen by the gods for you is: player Wilbert. 】
Will? This is fate.
Perhaps because she had lost her five senses, Cecia was still in darkness. Not only could she not see anything, she could not hear any sound, and she couldn't even feel her own existence.
Do I have to complete the dungeon in this state?
As soon as the thought came to my mind, a mechanical voice reminded me in time: [Player, please eat the apple in front of you. ]
The sound seemed to ring in my head and did not belong to any sense.
Eat... before...
There was no way she could use any of those words now.
Cecilia tried to control her hands and grope around, but she had lost her sense of touch and had no idea whether she had touched the apple or not.
[Your lover has eaten the apple, and the sense he or she has recovered is: touch. ]
? !
How did he do it?
[The apple is detected near your lips. Please open your mouth and chew and swallow it hard. ]
[The sense that is restored for you this time is: hearing. 】
"…Sinner! Sinner! New sinners have come to the Garden of Eden!"
An unpleasant and rough voice sounded in her ears.
"Can she hear us? Hello--hello--"
A creature was yelling in her ear, and the voice sounded very childish.
Besides that, she could hear birds chirping, leaves rustling, and…
She stomped hard on the ground beneath her feet, making a dull thumping sound.
Although she has no sense of touch and cannot perceive things, she can judge some things through sound, and finally has a certain perception of the world.
"Hey! It seems she is deaf too!"
The unpleasant voice continued, accompanied by the sound of flapping wings and wind.
“…I can hear you.”
There was a strange sense of awkwardness in the sounds that came out of his mouth. It seemed that the loss of other senses had some impact on his speech.
"The deaf man is speaking! The deaf man is speaking!"
The sound of flapping wings became urgent. She raised her hand and subconsciously reached towards the place where the sound came from, but she had no way of knowing whether she was successful.
Fortunately, the other party had a loud and noisy voice.
"Help! Help! This crow has been caught by the criminal! This crow has been caught by the criminal!"
“Are you a dweller in the Garden of Eden?”
Cecia asked softly, her voice still a little hard to control.
"I don't talk to sinners! I don't talk to sinners!"
The sound of flapping wings, and catching it from high up... This should be some kind of bird, right?
"Even if your wings are broken and you can never fly, you are still unwilling to answer my questions?"
There was a heavy note of menace in her voice.
Instantly, the sound of flapping wings stopped. The other party seemed to be frightened and said in a trembling voice: "Since, since you want to talk to me so much, then I will chat with you!"
"Ahem! I am a native of the Garden of Eden. Now I am assigned by God to look after the botanical garden and supervise the work of sinners like you!"
you?
There is a way. Since she has the ability to hear, she can use a third person as her eyes.
Cecia thought for a moment and asked in a leading way: "Apart from us, are there other sinners in the botanical garden?"
"No more! Only you and the white-haired boy next to you!"
The other party replied unhappily, "That guy is deaf, and it seems that he can't leave you at all. Now he is holding your arm tightly. What a coward!"
Sure enough, she had the same idea as Will.
The distance between "lovers" cannot exceed five meters. If they can't see each other, it is safest to stand still.
While she was using her hearing to gather information, Will was using his sense of touch to hold her tightly, so that no matter where she moved, Will could follow and would not be separated.
However, having only hearing is still too inconvenient. It would be great if I could restore my vision.
"Hey, do you know where I can find some apples?"
She asked.
"Apple? You mean the forbidden fruit? Only sinners would eat that kind of thing. I don't know where that thing is!"
The other party's tone was full of arrogance. "But if you call me Lord Crow a few times and kowtow to admit your mistake, I can help you find it!"
“…”
Cecilia did not answer, but silently increased the strength of her hands.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!”
The creature who called himself "Lord Crow" screamed sharply, "Let go! Let me go now! I'll tell you!"
"Go ahead."
She relaxed her grip.
"What a barbaric human being!"
The crow snorted, but was restrained at the moment and had to lower his head.
"I'll take you to the director of the botanical garden. He will assign tasks to sinners. As long as they complete the tasks, they will get a forbidden fruit."
After several tortures, the crow's voice became a little frustrated.
"Now, can you let me go?"
"Let's talk about it when we find someone."
Cecia said in a cold voice, without any slackness, "You lead the way."
"Okay, go this direction."
"Speak clearly."
"…Go straight ahead."
After the crow finished speaking, he muttered, "What? Although I'm not deaf, I'm blind. I can't even see the road and you still want me to lead the way!"
"I can hear you."
“…I’m sorry, I’ll lead the way!”
Without the sense of touch, it was difficult to tell where Cecia was landing, and there was also Will next to her.
She could only move her arms slightly to remind the other party that it was time to take action, then slowly raised her foot and dropped it heavily on the ground with a "bang".
"Why are you stepping so hard? It's scary!"
The crow's voice became shrill again, with a few flapping sounds, probably because it was frightened.
"Do you still want to do it? Or should I break off the right wing first?"
She threatened again, and the crow led the way obediently again.
Fifteen minutes later.
"No, you're walking too slowly!!"
The crow made an angry sound, flapping its wings continuously. "It's been so long! Look how far we have come! At this rate, we won't be able to find the director in a month!"
"You'd better let me go. I'll be able to fly over in a few minutes and bring the director to you."
"Do you think I will believe what you say?"
Cecia asked back, the strength in her hands not weakening at all.
"Ah ...
This torture almost drove the crow crazy. "I am the noble Lord Crow, I will not lie to you!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Crow would never lie."
A childish voice echoed, the same as the one she heard when she just regained her hearing.
"Is there anything on my shoulder?"
She inquired, and subconsciously reached out with her other hand, but felt nothing.
"Yes, that caterpillar has been crawling on your right shoulder. It was born not long ago, and you are the first sinner it has seen. It is very curious."
The crow spoke weakly.
"Yes, yes, I have never seen a sinner!"
The voice of the green worm sounded from the right, with a bit of excitement, "Lord Crow, Lord Crow, why are sinners called sinners?"
"Humans are born with original sin, so as long as they are human, they are sinners."
The crow explained patiently. It was very gentle to the caterpillar, which was completely different from the way it spoke to Cecilia.
"But, but, why are humans born with sin?"
Qingchong continued to ask, "Then is Qingqing also guilty of being born?"
"This, this... I don't know either, but the Lord God said so! The Lord God's words must be correct!"
The crow flapped its wings awkwardly.
God... a very suspicious title.
The copy introduction said that it was the gods who deprived them of their five senses, and she thought it was just an abstract concept.
But listening to the conversation between the crow and the caterpillar, "God" seems to be a concrete existence?
Cecia remained calm, gathering information from their words.
"Crow, caterpillar? What are you doing here!?"
A deep voice came from not far away, accompanied by heavy clanging sounds.
