Volume 2 Eternal Sleep Chapter 21 Elizabeth

Jun Yao also noticed the payment on the oil painting, she frowned, and turned her head to look at Yin Weiyu for the first time, but unfortunately Yin Weiyu was already frightened by this name and was stunned in place, so naturally she would not give herself any reaction, so Jun Yao withdrew her gaze and tried to calm her heart and make herself look less abnormal.

Jiang Xian had already walked into the room, staring at the self-portrait seriously, she seemed to have also found the inscription on the oil painting, tilting her head and frowning, as if she was searching in her mind for the relevance of this unknown name that suddenly appeared.

Jun Yao thought that it was impossible for her to know about Avarice, after all, Jiang Xian did not participate in the novice task of "Wish". Although Qi Ming also said that some Dream Travelers will eventually enter the same final mission, they may have the same clues to complete the ending in the previous official mission. However, Qi Ming had already inquired, and no one among the Dream Travelers with the number M had ever been informed about Avarice, either they had not unlocked it, or the person who had entered the same final mission with her had not yet appeared.

"Who is this Avarice? This name doesn't appear in the stories we've heard so far, right? She painted this portrait of Elizabeth, and Elizabeth was smiling so happily, and the painting was so vivid, I think this Avarice and Elizabeth must have known each other and were good friends. Jiang Xian turned her head to look at Jun Yao and said her reasoning.

"Avarice, a god, the greedy lord of greed." Jun Yao opened her mouth and said, "The people who made her wish paid their due price and satisfied their greed, so they became her followers. ”

Jiang Xian looked at her incredulously, "How would you know?" ”

"This name appeared in my previous novice quest, it's a big boss, it's quite powerful." Jun Yao smiled and explained the reason why she knew the name, then she looked around, looked the whole room, and finally fell on the crystal ceiling lamp that emitted a red light overhead, "This red light is really uncomfortable!" The decoration of this room looks gorgeous and romantic, and you can tell at a glance what kind of person its owner is, but I don't know why the lights here are red. ”

"In medieval Europe, there was a very strict definition of color. People are careful about the use of color, because if they are used incorrectly, they will be ridiculed as impolite at the slightest point, and punished if they are serious. Red...... It is the representative color of power, it is hot, enthusiastic, eye-catching, high-minded, and worshipped. Jiang Xian's hand stroked the neat and clean dress hanging on the wall, the fabric rubbed lightly on her hand, and she smiled slightly, "Red, in religion, is the color that only popes can use, and nobles can only use orange, which is a little warmer than yellow." ”

"But the strict rules about colors are limited to clothes, right? The light in this room is red, is there any knowledge about that? Yin Weiyu listened to Jiang Xian's popular science, and was a little puzzled why Jiang Xian mentioned the rules of clothing color when Jun Yao was talking about this uncomfortable red light. Jiang Xian looked at Yin Weiyu and let go of the clothes she was holding in her hand, "What's the light...... Of course, there is learning, but this is common in ancient and modern times, and it does not know any borders. The words of the red light are warnings, temptations, repentance, and death. Elizabeth's room has always been lit with red light, and she is the only one who has left traces of life here, and she keeps the red light, and her heart should be unstoppable repentance. ”

"Repentance? Why Confession? ”

"Maybe it's because of what happened, or maybe it's for some other reason we don't know, Elizabeth is gone, and no one knows why she's trapped herself in this little room and imprisoned for the rest of her life." Lin Mo looked at the beautiful self-portrait of Elizabeth sadly, as if sympathizing with her plight, Jun Yao frowned, but didn't say anything, just walked to the desk on the left.

There were a few books in the style of rococo art on the desk, Jun Yao picked up the top one, there was no title on the cover, so she opened the book and looked at it twice, the content inside was not written in English, and Jun Yao didn't know what the specific text was, she quickly flipped through it and put the book back in disappointment. Jun Yao's fingers touched the back of the book, and before he could look closely, a letter fell down.

Jun Yao bent down and picked up the letter.

"Arthur himself

I'm sorry to say goodbye in such a decisive way, since I left that town, the hatred and resentment in my heart have only increased, and I know that that ending is not the best ending, but the worst ending. It's a pity that I don't have the courage or ability, and I lived in a mess for many years until I met you. You are a light in my life, the only bright color in the black and white world, I cherish everything with you very much, it is a treasure given to me by the Lord of Time, if I can, I would like to treasure it for the rest of my life.

I've been telling you lately that I'm not sleeping well, not because I'm tired, but because I'm stuck in a dream. The nightmare that had been following me when I was young, when I thought that everything would never be mentioned again, finally crossed time, cut the space, and came as promised. I remembered what he had said to me, and I guess this was really a secret arrangement, and there was no room for resistance. Nightmares have haunted me for too long, and escaping will never solve the problem, and all these years I have curled up in a peaceful world, seen the sun and the breeze, smelled the grass after the rain and the flowers of early spring, I embraced the purest beauty of the world, and yet I was ashamed of my actions.

I felt sorry for many people, that I had brought a disaster, but instead of stopping it, I had allowed it to continue, and the painful moans and angry roars that had appeared countless times in my dreams pierced my heart, even if I covered my ears. My conscience condemned myself over and over again.

The fallen leaves return to the roots, the soul returns to the hometown, where everything starts, it will end from there. I have to face my fate, and only by cutting through the darkness around me can I have the possibility of returning to the good.

I have to gamble and I have to go back.

But I don't want you to be hurt because of this, I have left something that can protect you, and you don't have an accident, it's the best thing you can do for me.

May you and Alice be well, and rest assured that I will be back soon.

I love you.

Elizabeth"

Arthur ...... It's the grumpy father, right? Yin Weiyu also came over to read the contents of the letter, Jun Yao nodded, "It seems that Alice is really Elizabeth's child, from this letter, we can learn that Elizabeth has been worried after leaving Eternal Sleep Town, she has been having nightmares, so she decided to come back to solve something, she told Arthur and Alice that this matter will be solved soon, but in the end it was Arthur and Alice who came to Eternal Sleep Town." ”

"The townspeople didn't mention that Elizabeth had ever returned." Jiang Xian said, "She said that she had something that had to be solved, and she had been running away from it before, but after the nightmare found her, she realized that she couldn't escape, and she called it fate." So she had to come back and settle this matter that she had to solve, but instead of going into the town, she chose to stay in the bell tower, or ...... To put it another way, she's hiding here. ”

"That's right, Elizabeth quietly returned to Eternal Sleep Town, and hid in the room of this bell tower, she didn't want others to find out, so she set up a line outside the room to cut and stitch the space, her technique is very clever, this line is set at the corner of the stairs, ordinary people will turn their backs when walking in that position, and the door is in the opposite place of the stairs, that is, behind the people who go upstairs, so it is impossible to be discovered." Jun Yao nodded, affirming Jiang Xian's reasoning.

At this moment, a red and white ball rolled in, and the ball turned around as if it was alive and stopped at Jun Yao's feet. Jun Yao looked down at the sudden leather ball, took two steps back suspiciously, and walked to the door, she looked in the direction of the door, and saw a pair of children's feet in sneakers.

There's a kid on the stairs!

Jun Yao's eyes widened, she walked outside the room, and really saw the owner of the feet.

It was a very cute-looking little boy, he was wearing a blue sailor suit and a white hat, he looked at Shen Junyao directly, and the moment he met her gaze, the little boy grinned.

"Big sister, can you help me get that ball?"

Shen Junyao looked back at the ball that had just rolled to his feet, and then at the little boy standing on the stairs, and hesitated for a while. The child in front of her is not a person, Jun Yao can be sure of this, although she doesn't know if he is a ghost or some other unknown creature she doesn't know, she can't get close to it easily, right? It's just that this little boy's current behavior is not malicious, and he must have a purpose for suddenly appearing in such a high-profile way.

To take or not to take?

The sudden appearance of the ball made everyone in the room stop their movements, Jiang Xian and Yin Weiyu also saw the little boy on the stairs, the two exchanged glances behind Jun Yao, and took out the attack weapon in the backpack very tacitly.

[Please note that the Dream Traveler is currently in the Senluo Illusion, and the props have expired]

Senro's vision? Item failure?

The two of them saw the same prompt message, and they didn't know how to react for a while.

Shen Junyao, who was standing in place and tangled, suddenly moved, she turned around and walked to the position just now, bent down to take the ball that belonged to the little boy, and when she held it in her hand, she checked the ball in her hand, feeling the unusual weight, Jun Yao returned to the door, she was standing in Elizabeth's room, looking at the little boy on the stairs.

"That's it, big sister, can you pick it up?"

The little boy smiled happily at the sight of the ball, and he was bouncing up and down the stairs, and the old planks of the staircase creaked, and the little boy clapped his hands.

Jun Yao lowered her head and looked at the floor, but before she could make the next move, Lin Mo behind her suddenly stopped her.

"Shen Junyao." Lin Moban raised her face, her tone was full of seriousness, her eyes fell on the floor outside the door, and then looked at the little boy who looked high above the stairs, "Don't go over, that little boy is a virtual spirit." ”

Jun Yao didn't look back at her, and she didn't seem to hear what she said, she took two steps forward, and was about to step out of the room.

The little boy's smile became brighter and brighter, Lin Mo's brows behind her furrowed more and more tightly, Lin Mo caught a glimpse of a dagger inlaid with rubies placed on the bedside stool, and hurriedly grabbed it in his hand and walked towards Shen Junyao.

Don't look at the ethereal spirit for more than three minutes, this is the news that Lin Mo's psychic cross-media told her when she first met the ethereal spirit before, and he didn't say what the consequences were, but it must be something they can't bear. From the time Shen Junyao saw the little boy to now, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has been five minutes.

It turns out that if you look at the ethereal spirit for too long, you will be confused by it and lose your own consciousness.

Jun Yao's movements must be stopped, and she must not leave this room.

Lin Mo picked up the dagger and was about to cut his finger and use blood stains to stimulate Shen Junyao to regain consciousness, but who knew that Junyao suddenly bent down and put the ball on the ground, she glanced at the little boy very strangely, slowly raised her right foot, and kicked the red and white ball towards the little boy.

"Since you need my help, I'll give it back to you."
