A long sigh.

Duran's eyes widened suddenly, and the roots of his teeth couldn't help but creak, what a terrifying scene this was - the beautiful pleated dress quietly revealed a large hole at the shoulder, and the top of the white neck was pitch black, oh no, Duran could see the rich red on his neck, as if in an instant, countless blood fountains gushed out.

Duran staggered back two steps, but accidentally knocked over the candle on the table with a wave of his hand.

The candle flame fell to the ground, struggled slightly, and finally slowly extinguished.

Duran was covered in a cold sweat, and the image of the headless girl lingered in his mind like a nightmare. The sweat behind him was dripping, and his whole body was weak, if the pair of ghost brothers still looked like a person, then the girl in front of him ......

He tried to grasp the oak thorn, but found that his arm was gradually weakening.

The girl's sigh was heard again in the darkness.

"You shouldn't ......turn back," the girl's murmur was like the most terrible curse, making people shudder: "You shouldn't turn back, my head was cut off by the devil, and if anyone sees my appearance, then I must take his head." ”

Duran's scalp was numb and almost numb, and he breathed violently, telling himself: It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just that there is no head......

He tried to recall something hilarious to alleviate the strong visual impact he was experiencing.

"Now, I'm going to cut off your head......" The girl whispered as if in a dream, her voice soft and meek, but the words woke Duran violently.

Before he could react effectively, a cold wind blew in his face, and the headless girl suddenly appeared in front of him.

The cold nails stretched abruptly under Duran's nose, sharp as daggers, and shimmered with a palpitating chill in the faint light of the fire in the hallway. A faint jasmine scent spilled into Duran's nose, pleated skirts fluttered in front of him, the place where the head should have grown was still empty, and the girl's movements were so fast that almost instantly, her nails smeared Duran's neck.

"Wait, can I buy a bouquet of flowers?"

At the last moment, the weakened Duran grabbed the last straw like a drowning man, and the ghost squeezed this sentence out of his teeth.

He was really helpless, and the shock of fear caused by the headless girl to him was not only visual, but also a spiritual impact from the heart. Duran bet that this girl must have a curse or psychic passive spell on her, and anyone who sees her is equivalent to being "feared".

This psychic spell had no direct damage power, but it was enough to deprive a small Assassin apprentice of Duran of all combat abilities.

He had no choice but to shout out such a sentence, it was completely a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Who knew that Duran's casual shouting actually had an effect-the cold nails pinched on Duran's arteries, and the sharp edge suddenly retracted, and the girl's gentle voice sounded again: "Red rose, golden iris, which one do you want, sir?" ”

Duran sat down on the dusty desk behind him, and then subconsciously moved back.

He tried to ask, "Is there anything else?" ”

The white dress suddenly floated back, and the voice of the headless girl came from all directions: "You see me, I should take your head...... But since you want to buy flowers, then we can do it another way. ”

The girl's words made Duran a little dazed, but his purpose was to stall for time. Because with the passage of time, the effect of the fear spell is constantly being eliminated, and his strength is slowly recovering.

So he asked, "What happened?" Why did you take my head? What about Peron? And the Schubert brothers? What's going on in this house? ”

"You have a lot of questions, sir." The girl's voice seemed to be frowning and complaining, "I told you, my name is Anna. This is Belon's home, and demonic power envelops this house, so there are many unusual things that can happen to the living. ”

Duran asked, "Miss Anna, can you tell me where the demon is?" ”

Duran was tasked with cleaning up the House of Peron, that is, purifying the evil forces here, the ghost Schubert brothers, the headless girl and the resentful spirits of Peron were all caused by this legendary demon, if he could directly find this demon and eradicate it, then the task would be completed.

"You can't find him, you can't find him." The girl muttered, "Brother homeless was killed by him, brutally killed. And then there is me, from whom we are all controlled by his evil power, destined to never be transcended. ”

"No, you can." Duran hurriedly said, "I can help you, but only if you tell me more information." Do you see the holy water in my hand? It's something from the Church of Dawn, and I'm ordered to deal with the evil forces here. ”

At this point, Duran couldn't help but play with words—he had indeed come on orders, but not by order of the bishop of the Church of Dawn, but by order of the Supreme Council. The people who live in the Village of Bones are supposed to be descendants of the Ember during their lifetime, and the Lord of the Dawn has an indescribably important surname for them.

"Oh? Are you sent by the Lord? The girl's voice unconsciously flashed with a hint of excitement: "Can you kill the demon?" Oh no, your strength is so weak that even I can easily kill you. ”

Seeing that the girl's mood seemed to be showing some signs of instability, Duran hurriedly said, "I have a way to kill the demon, but this weapon can't be easily revealed. Listen, if you, too, want to break free from the shackles of demons, I need your help. ”

The girl was silent for a while, and then suddenly said aloud: "I'm sorry, I can't help you, I have to kill you." ”

Duran's nerves tightened, he grasped the oak thorn, and asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

The girl said silently: "There is no reason, I am long dead, and now it is my grudge that is crippled by the Dominator." I don't have a head, I have lost my mind, and I'm at the mercy of the devil. I can't name him, I can't tell you where he is. If anyone sees me, then I must do my best to cause trouble for him and make him die, this is the rule that the devil has laid for me. ”

"Can't the rules be changed?" Duran's heart moved, and he immediately said, "Just now you clearly said that if I want to buy flowers, we can change the way." ”

The girl was silent for a while, and after a while, an indifferent voice came from the darkness: "A long, long time ago, I was a girl who sold flowers. Every morning I would go to the flower garden and talk to the flowers, and then take three bouquets from them and sell them to other people who liked them in the town. For so many years, I have lived in the dark, and only these flowers have accompanied me. ”

"I'll take three flowers out of my basket, and if you can tell me their flower language correctly, I'll let you go."

Duran was a little uneasy in his heart, flower language? He hadn't paid much attention to it.

Some of the meanings of the plants and flowers in the Fernan Continent are quite similar to those on the earth, and some are completely different, although Duran has read a lot of information about Fernan, but he has not reached the point where he has memorized all the flower language of flowers in every detail.

But now that there is an opportunity not to fight, Duran will naturally not give up.

"Okay, I'll try."

The girl didn't say much, and the faint fragrance of flowers suddenly came, and a delicate flower basket that emitted a shimmering light landed on the table in front of Duran.

"Looks like you're lucky, the first bouquet of flowers, it's roses." The girl said, "What is her flower language?" ”

Duran was a little sure in his heart, and he was still a little impressed with roses. Although this is not a red rose that lovers give each other when they fall in love, but a goose-yellow rose, Duran can still tell the answer:

"As far as I know, the yellow rose represents infidelity, jealousy, pleasure, and apology. On the one hand, for friendship, yellow roses represent pure friendship and good wishes; For love, however, the yellow rose symbolizes ominousness – because it represents jealousy, broken love, and vanishing love. ”

In fact, the reason why Duran was able to tell the flower language of the yellow rose so clearly was thanks to a famous story in the history of the Fernand Continent. This story is about a pair of lovers who fall in love but eventually have to be separated due to fate, in this story, Yellow Rose plays a very important role, Duran read these historical materials, happened to see such a story, and was quite impressed by it.

"Perfect interpretation." The girl's voice finally stopped being so jerky, "Let's continue." ”

The second bouquet of flowers landed in the basket.

Duran's luck is still good, this is a purple iris bouquet, which is also a very common flower on the earth, and its flower language is not obscure knowledge, Duran passed smoothly.

The last bouquet of flowers, light blue petals wrapped in beautiful stamens, seeing this bouquet of flowers appear, Duran couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"It's actually a bellflower ......"

Duran scratched his head, feeling a little difficult.

The flower language of the bellflower is also very simple, Duran remembers it clearly, but the thing is bad, the bellflower actually has two flower languages - these two flower languages represent diametrically opposite meanings.

The headless girl chuckled, "The last bunch, you'll be safe if you say it right." ”

"Bellflower flowers, bellflower flowers......" Duran paced back and forth in the small space, and the girl didn't seem to be in a hurry, and the low singing voice came from all directions again:

"My head was cut off by a demon

Overturned baskets bloom in the corners

Dear lover

Grim lover

My head was cut off by a demon

Basket of flowers who can find her

Red rose-purple irises

Beloved lover

An indifferent lover

My head was cut off by a demon......"

The song was grumpy and low, full of painful emotions, and Duran savored it for a while, and finally made a decision:

"The bellflower represents hopeless love."

The singing stopped abruptly, and the girl in the darkness whispered:

"You can go."

Duran took a deep breath: "Please tell me, where is the demon?" ”

This house is full of weirdness, and Duran has finally found someone who is sober and can talk, where is he willing to go and run around like a headless fly? In the task of cleaning up the Peron House, the source of everything is on that demon, and Duran estimates that most of his final opponent is this guy.

The girl suddenly began to sob: "I'm sorry, I can't say, I'm sorry...... Go away and get out of this house. ”

Leaving your sister, Duran was depressed, if he didn't complete the task, how could he leave? I guess there is no open talk in the Supreme Council about the failure of the mission, right?

"I can't go, whether you help me or not, I'm going to find that demon, it's my mission." Duran said.

The girl hesitated for a moment, and suddenly there was a creaking sound in the bathroom.

"The devil is in the attic...... You, be careful. The girl's voice was inaudible, brushing gently past Duran's ear.

Attic? Is it in the bathroom?

Duran re-entered the bathroom, and sure enough, he found an opening in the ceiling, and behind the small door of the bathroom, there was an escalator quietly erected.

"So it's here!" Duran no longer hesitated, moved the escalator directly, and climbed it with great skill.
