The male owner roared ferociously and reached out to pluck him off.
The stranger shoved her away forcefully, saying viciously, "You don't deserve her love! You never will!"
Click—click—
A series of crisp sounds came from the side. Qiao Zhi turned her head and saw Su Deng holding a sunflower plate, eating melon seeds while watching the scene, completely in a state of watching the fun.
Qiao Zhi: "..."
Putting aside whether the scene is appropriate or not.
Those sunflowers were grown using human corpses and flesh!!!
How did Su Deng even manage to eat that?!
Sensing her gaze, Su Deng didn't turn her head, but moved the sunflower in her hand closer. "Want some?"
Qiao Zhi: "...Ugh..."
My empty stomach started churning again.
Looking at the chaos before him, Su Deng went through all the information and clues so far and roughly guessed the story.
The owners of this manor were not actually in love.
Or perhaps it's just a one-sided love between the male and female owners.
Even marrying the male head of the household was not something the female head of the household did willingly.
The woman had a sweetheart, and that was this stranger.
The male homeowner broke them up and forced the female homeowner to marry him.
She was forced to marry the male head of the household and was forced to be confined to him.
They appear loving in front of others, but in reality, they are not truly in love.
The male homeowner loved the female homeowner to an insane and obsessive degree, regarding her as his muse, but her muse did not love her.
The woman loves sunflowers and wants to become one.
Freedom, facing the sun, forever revolving around her sun.
The man thought the sun was him, and to please the woman, he planted an entire plantation of sunflowers for her.
But one day, the male homeowner discovered that the "sun" was not him.
He had an extremely deep, insane, and morbid possessiveness. He couldn't accept that his muse still had other men in her heart, and regarded that man as the only sun in his life.
So he killed her!
Using her corpse as nourishment, a sunflower was grown.
But after the sunflower was planted, it only grew leaves and did not bloom.
The male owner went to great lengths to find a way to raise her.
He discovered in the book that sunflowers grown with human nutrients would not wither or die, so he began to kill people continuously.
Perhaps he didn't actually forget where the woman was buried.
Instead, the woman was not buried at all.
Her flesh and blood became the nutrients that nourished the sunflower in that brown porcelain pot, and it grew into this sunflower that never blooms.
The wife's soul has been trapped in this manor.
The male homeowner's paranoia, madness, and mental problems are evident.
Fear, avoidance, and subconsciousness made him forget where he was buried.
Today, on the anniversary of his wife's death, her beloved came here. Upon seeing him, the sunflower, in which his wife had transformed, had its soul possess it and bloom.
Tsk.
Fu Jin actually liked this kind of love story.
However, these plot points seem to have nothing to do with the mission.
The wife turned into a sunflower, and wherever the sunflower is now, that is the wife's grave.
My wife's grave has been found; there are three beautiful sunflowers...
Every sunflower here is beautiful, and some of them even taste delicious.
The task announcement was so simple; it couldn't possibly be just the literal wording.
In this story, the sunflowers are used to commemorate the anniversary of the wife's death; they must have been beautiful in her eyes...
All the sunflowers in this estate were planted by the male owner. Since his wife doesn't like him, she certainly wouldn't like the flowers he grows, especially since they're grown by people.
In this situation, what kind of sunflower would the wife like?
"Walk!"
Lu Sinian felt he had guessed the correct answer, and the person who was calling him turned around and left, wanting to go find the sunflower.
But after turning around and taking only a few steps, his foot suddenly got stuck on something.
The sunflower that his wife had transformed into instantly took root in the ground, its slender roots tumbling out of the soil like tentacles, and wrapping around his feet.
At the same time, all the other players present were also entangled.
This includes Su Deng and Qiao Zhi.
With a strong pull, the person fell to the ground and was dragged back by the tentacles.
The scene became chaotic for a while.
Lu Sinian reacted quickly, taking a dagger and severing the tentacle.
"Walk!"
Su Deng quickly chopped off the tentacles on her feet with her sword, grabbed Qiao Zhi's arm as she passed by, and rescued her. They pulled each other along and ran outside.
But the sunflower's roots split off into countless tendrils that constantly emerge from the ground, flying around in the air like tentacles.
They intertwine and grow together, forming a cage of roots and stems.
It was airtight.
"What's going on...?"
"These sunflowers..."
The group of players present all turned pale and prepared for battle.
Qiao Zhi's expression turned serious. "Has this sunflower mutated?"
Su Deng looked at the sunflower, squinted her eyes slightly, and remained silent.
"He's dead!"
Someone discovered that the male homeowner was dead, pierced by the roots of a sunflower, his body drained of life force by the sunflower, leaving only a skeleton.
In the blink of an eye.
"Ayu! Ayu..." The stranger's face turned pale. "What's wrong with you..."
"Brother Zhen..." Himawari whispered, "After I kill them all, we can be together forever."
All the players fought against the roots, but the roots were like a cage, with their hard roots piercing through the bodies of several players.
The screams were endless.
Qiao Zhi shielded Su Deng and stepped back, "What's going on now..."
"Do I even need to ask?" The low health points made Su Deng sway slightly, and her already pale face turned even paler. "First, we need to find a way to break through and find three sunflowers."
