When she wakes up the next morning, Natalie finds the castle empty and the demon has no idea where it has gone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the only hope in her heart was disappointed, and the dream of the resurrection of her lover was shattered. Thinking of this, Natalie cried sadly again. Her soft sobs are so poignant and tactful, far more so than any beautiful music in the world.

At this time, the demon reappeared.

The demon came to her side and whispered, "You'd better get out of here!" ”

"Why do you want me to leave here? I'm willing to give you a soul when I die, why don't you want to help me? Natalie stopped crying and asked.

The demon pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, for the sake of your lover who loves you so much, I'll tell you the truth." ”

"What's the truth?" Natalie stared at the demon in amazement.

"I can revive your lover, but when he wakes up, he may have no memory, no soul, no emotion, and no longer love you. He will live without emotion, the walking dead. There is no difference between him and death like this. Will you resurrect him in exchange for your soul? ”

Natalie flinched a little, but after thinking about it for a long time, she said firmly, "I do." ”

"Why?" The demon asked.

"If he loses his memory after being resurrected, I will tell him all the things before. If he has no soul, I will touch him with my heart, and if he forgets the affection between us, I will make him fall in love with me again. I am confident that he will become a normal person with flesh and blood, soul and emotions. Natalie said.

The demon sighed and said, "Since you are so confident, then I will resurrect him according to the agreed terms." But you have to do what I say. ”

"So what do I need to do?"

"Please give me your lover's hair, and I will use magic to hide his flesh in the place of the source of life. However, he will not be resurrected immediately, and he will only be resurrected in the spring of the next year, when the flowers are blooming and the vegetation is blooming. All you need to do is you have to keep watch for seven days and seven nights in the place where your love is buried. ”

"Why?"

"Because fresh corpses have the smell of death and blood, there are many wild beasts in the forest, and when they smell this smell of dead flesh, they will follow the smell, dig the dirt off the surface of the corpse, and then eat the corpse. In that case, the physical body ceases to exist, and of course the resurrection is in vain. So you have to go to the place where your lover is buried for seven days and seven nights, and only after the smell of death is gone, can you leave. ”

"Okay, so where is the source of life?"

"Right under that hundred-year-old tree in the middle of the forest, that's where life begins."

After giving her lover's hair to the demon, Natalie left the castle and got into the black carriage. Soon, the carriage led her to the middle of the forest, where it stopped.

When Natalie got out of the car, she saw the huge hundred-year-old tree. When I came to the old tree, there was a new hole that had been filled. The fresh earth exudes a special fishy smell, and Natalie can't help but cry when she sees this. But when she thought about it, her lover would be resurrected in the spring of next year, and she was full of joy and anticipation.

In this way, Natalie stayed under the hundred-year-old tree, where the lover was buried, without eating or drinking, from day to night, from night to day. The day was still calm, and the beasts of the forest were hiding in a certain corner, and the light limited their predatory activities. But at night, the howls of various beasts in the forest and the fierce eyes of many dark beasts made Natalie shudder. Natalie stayed up all night, gathering courage to gather some firewood and light piles of bonfires in an attempt to drive away the hungry animals.

Seven days and seven nights passed quickly, but for Natalie, it seemed like a century had passed, and every second had become extremely difficult. Natalie's belief in love was strong and sustained her through seven days and seven nights of crisis. On the eighth day, Natalie slackened and felt exhausted, her body was like a puddle of mud that she couldn't support, and she fainted from exhaustion.

When Natalie wakes up, she finds herself lying on a white, soft bed. She wondered, what kind of place is this? When she stood up and looked carefully at this strange room, the familiar lonely and lonely piano sound was faintly heard not far away. She froze, as if she had returned to the demon's castle.

Natalie got up, opened the door, and walked to the sound of music. She went back to the empty hall of the castle, where the demon was still playing the piano intently. Natalie stood behind him, admiring quietly.

When the song was finished, the demon turned his head and looked at Natalie.

"Why did you save me? This seems unconscionable. Because the sooner I die, the sooner you will take my soul. Natalie said.

"Yes, as you say, I don't really want to save you, it's just that I don't want your soul right now."

"And when do you want my soul?"

The demon did not speak, but looked at her deeply.

"Whatever your intentions, but you saved me. I will definitely repay you. Natalie said.

The demon chuckled, turned around, and played a beautiful piano tune again. It wasn't long before he finished playing and disappeared behind the door again.

As Natalie says, she is taking her own way to repay the demon. During the day, Natalie cleans the hall and cleans the piano spotlessly, hoping that the demon will be in a better mood when she plays every night.

In fact, Natalie knew that it was all in vain, because the castle did not need someone to clean and tidy up, it was always so clean and tidy. It's just that she doesn't know how to repay the demon, it's the only way she can think of it.

When she has free time, Natalie walks out of the castle and goes to the forest to pick some beautiful and bright flowers and plant them in the castle hall to make the hall look less empty and unreal. The faint scent of flowers combined with the clear green leaves gives the castle an air of life.
