Deep in the swamp, the atmosphere on the mist-shrouded island is grim. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Witnessing Gusinsky's brutal murder, Tonya felt a chill in her heart.

Not so long ago, she had fantasized about Agnes, wishful thinking that her mother was not necessarily a pure bad person, that she committed those evil deeds out of unspeakable concealment, or perhaps because she overreacted to prejudice and discrimination, but now she had to face the reality: Agnes was far more cruel and cruel than she thought, and it was impossible for them to be at peace with each other.

Agnes stared at her daughter's angry face, a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth: "Why are you so angry, could it be that stupid toad is also your friend?" I'm sorry my horse accidentally trampled it to death, but it's okay, there are toads in this swamp, and my precious daughter can catch as many mothers as she wants. ”

Tonya sharply interrupted her mockery: "Agnes, don't pretend there, you know in your heart why I'm here!" I'm going to settle this account with you for sneaking into my dreams and using the Strangling Golem to control me into evil and ruin my reputation in Valle Village! ”

The old ghost woman shrugged her shoulders on horseback and spread her hands, pretending to be surprised: "You say I'm ruining your reputation? This is ridiculous! I don't understand why you should care what those lowly human beings think of themselves, my dear daughter, you know that you are different from them, you are stronger and smarter than those who only agitate your tongue, you don't need to deliberately strive for their praise, whoever dares to speak ill of you, you will kill him, do you want me to teach you such a simple truth? ”

Tonya was not bewitched by her, and said coldly: "You are wrong, it is not others who are different from me, but yourself!" From the day you killed my father and abandoned me with your own hands, you no longer have anything to do with me, and you are no longer allowed to call me 'daughter,' and that makes me sick! ”

Agnes couldn't help but sneer: "My silly daughter, look how pitiful you are, you are so polluted by the human mind that you forget your origins and pretend to be a human being, and you can't be blamed for it, because I have experienced the same troubles, and have had the same hesitations and struggles as you, but one day you will recognize your true nature and become what you really are, just like me." ”

"Nope! I don't bear the slightest resemblance to you, and I don't want to hear a word of your curse! Tonya couldn't help but get excited.

Agnes shook her head and looked at her daughter faintly, her voice hoarse and desolate: "It's not a curse, it's just a statement, when I was young, I was as innocent and simple as you, eager to integrate into the human world, and was once called 'substitute', my daughter, do you really understand what this code name means?" It means that you will never be able to become a real human being as you desire, even if you try to change your nature to fit into the vulgar and hypocritical human morality, in their eyes you will always be a 'substitute', an outsider, and sooner or later your true nature will be exposed, like a lion growing up in a flock, the closer you get to the group you want to fit in, the more you will be ostracized by the other party - because you are not like them! You can hate me, but you can't change the fact that you have the same blood in your veins as mine! ”

"Of course you have reason to think I'm, after all you have a beautiful, cute and fascinating face, and I'm old and ugly and disgusting? Let's be honest, it's not your looks that determine where you are, it's where you come from! Look at me, look at my face, it's old, ugly, right? However, as long as I want to, I can become as youthful and beautiful as you at any time! ”

Agnes wasn't lying.

In front of Tonya and Roland and others, her figure and appearance changed rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, she changed from a shriveled and ugly old woman to a tall and sweet young woman, except that her eyes were still so cold, her appearance was almost a copy of Tonya, and the two stood together, like twin sisters.

Tonya was shocked by the scene in front of her, and was speechless.

What girl in the world is not vain? Tonya is not immune. As Agnes points out, she is somewhat proud of her looks, and indeed because she is more likely to be liked by others because of her beautiful faces, it is not surprising that an old and ugly woman like Agnes is difficult to fit in.

However, at this moment, the superiority in her heart was ruthlessly shattered by Agnes. Agnes didn't use magic to temporarily rejuvenate herself, and changing her appearance was a supernatural ability that she could wield at will, and she could keep this flattering image forever if she wanted to.

"But why wouldn't she disguise herself, so that she could show herself a terrible image of being old and ugly?" Tonya couldn't help but have a question in her mind.

Agnes saw through the doubts in her heart at a glance, and said faintly, "But it doesn't make sense, what good can a pretty face do me personally?" It's nothing more than pleasing the superficial people who judge people by their appearance, my naïve daughter, you have to think deeply about one question: do we live to please others or to be happy for ourselves? When you think about it, you don't reject the instinct to change anymore. ”

What is the purpose of human life?

What is the use of a beautiful face other than pleasing others?

When I grow old and lose my admirable beauty, what will those who were once kind treat me? Will the children dislike me and even curse me to my face as a "damn old ghost"?

Countless thoughts lingered in Tonya's mind, leaving her at a loss.

Agnes looked down at her confused face, her cold gaze piercing deep into her heart like an invisible blade, and said word by word, "Now is the time to prove your belonging!" My daughter, kill the superficial humans behind you, and I will give you a motherly hug and welcome you to our family of ghost women; Or you choose to be hostile to me, then it's a pity...... I will kill you without mercy, just like my father killed you in the first place! ”

As she spoke, she held up the heart-shaped magic stone in her hand. An incomparably evil magic was unleashed from it, and while her daughter was on guard, he projected a most vicious curse on her.

Tonya suddenly felt that her head was about to explode, and she couldn't help but hold her head in her hands and let out a painful moan.

Her body was rapidly aging under the influence of the curse, her originally satin-smooth and delicate skin lost moisture, wrinkles appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her lips, which were originally delicate and moist, gradually lost their blood color, like two dry leaves.

"Roland, kiss her!" Nikita suddenly shouted loudly.
