Chapter 14: Death

From that day on, Qi Luoling never entered the forest again, but was taken by Lady Carolina to visit nearby places of interest. When she is free www.biquge.info her free time, she stays in the study and reads intently.

But since that night in the forest, Qi Luoling has always tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep, and finally fell asleep, and was also in a light sleep, and her sleep was fragmented.

In order to alleviate the sleep disorder, Qi Luoling had to torture her body during the day, drink a glass of hot milk and listen to soft music before going to bed. But even so, her sleep quality was still poor.

Sleep seemed to have been lost by her, it seemed to be hidden in a dark corner, alone in a daze, no matter how much she searched, she couldn't find it.

Qi Luoling lay on the soft bed, with sour eyes open, bored and observing the night. The night is like a flowing gas, without a concrete shape, but everywhere. It seems that after staying in the dark for a long time, her sense of sight and hearing has become extremely sensitive.

Through the faint moonlight of the night, Qi Luoling found that in the darkness, on the stool in front of her bed, there was a shadow in white clothes and long hair, sitting there like a person. If she was not mistaken, the shadow was the mysterious woman.

Qi Luoling didn't even know when she quietly entered her room. She listened carefully and could hear her slight breathing and even a slight heartbeat. This made her perceive that this was no longer her delusion, nor was it a fragment of her dreams.

Qi Luoling tried to brace herself so that she could take a closer look at the mysterious woman. But her body was like being pressed by a ghost, and she couldn't move.

The only difference in the room is the darkness in which the mysterious woman is located. Everywhere else there was thick darkness, but here she was a little lighter. So, she saw the general outline of the woman very clearly. But her facial features sank into darkness, and as for what color she was wearing, Qi Luoling couldn't tell clearly.

"Who are you?"

The other party did not answer immediately, but she clearly felt that the other party was smiling, but with a hint of mockery.

"Do you know who Mr. Brandmeiss is?" The woman's soft voice blew like a gust of wind.

"I don't know, just as I don't know why he gave me this manor, I've only heard about his family."

"I mean his relationship with your maternal great-grandfather, do you understand?"

"I don't know, I just know that the estate belonged to the House of Saxony, my maternal great-grandfather. It was later sold to the Brande family."

"All you know is a fact that everyone hears, and today I'm going to tell you a secret that has been buried underground for more than fifty years?"

"What's the secret?"

"Your great-grandfather was killed by Pallandmeis."

Qi Luoling was shocked, and remembered the dream, the scene where the blue man took out a dagger and killed the young man in black.

"Yes, it was exactly the same as the dream you had."

"How do you know I'm dreaming?" Qi Luoling asked in surprise.

"Of course, I deliberately implanted that dream into your dreams."

"Why can you control my dreams?"

The other party didn't say anything, and Qi Luoling suddenly understood that weird cross, although she didn't usually carry it. But I kept it on the bedside table all the time, maybe it was this mysterious woman who controlled her dreams through it, no wonder her recent sleep seemed to be wrong.

"Why did Brandmeiss kill my maternal great-grandfather?" Qi Luoling continued to ask.

"I think you should be very clear about the reason."

Qi Luoling pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's still for the demon's music, right?" ”

"Yes."

"So that nameless grave in the forest belonged to my great-grandfather, right?"

"Yes."

"And who the hell are you?" Qi Luoling stared at the black shadow and said.

The other party seemed to think for a long time and said, "I'm a witch." ”

"Witch?"

"Yes, I'm the witch of this forest."

"I'm sorry, I'm an atheist and I don't believe in witches. If there were witches, human civilization would not be so highly developed, because many things can be solved with just one magic. ”

"The premise of the existence of our witches is the existence of demons, and if you believe in the existence of demons, then we witches exist."

Qi Luoling was silent.

"What is the relationship between you witches and demons?" Qi Luoling asked.

"In your modern words, the demon is our big boss, and we work for him."

"You're here tonight to tell me this?"

"That's not the point, I'm here tonight to just want you to tell you one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"You're going to die soon." She said slowly, like a small river flowing quietly, so calm.

Qi Luoling was stunned.

"The time of your death is already counting down." She continued.

There was a silence in the room, reminiscent of an empty classroom after school.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" She finally broke the silence, her tone tinged with imperceptible eagerness. This subtle change shows that the witch takes this matter more seriously than she does.

"And how much time do I have left?" Qi Luoling asked.

"The next full moon night means you have seven days left."

"Oh."

"Why don't you believe me?"

"No, I trust you very much."

"But your expression is unusually calm, as if this matter has nothing to do with you."

"I just think there are times when death is the best way to get out?"

"You're living in pain?"

"Sometimes that's how I feel."

"Why?"

"I can't say exactly why, maybe it's just a feeling."

"How does it feel?"

"Sometimes I feel too tired to live. In fact, when there is too much suffering in life and there is no way to get relief in any way, death is a wise choice. Because the price of life is far greater than the price of death. ”

"Perhaps for others, death is a happy choice. But you don't belong to that kind of person. ”

"Why don't I fall into this category?"

"You're just in a state of melancholy, or you're confused. Confused about your own existence, confused about the things around you, you can't find the meaning of life. So you start questioning your life, but you can't find the direction of your life, so you are very distressed and confused. ”

"You seem to have a point."

"Do you want to read this map of life: sorrow is the first fork in the road: a road leads to singing, a road leads to confusion; Confusion is the second fork in the road: one road leads to pleasure, the other to nothingness; Nothingness is the third fork in the road: a path leads to death, a path leads to enlightenment: enlightenment is the fourth fork in the road: a path leads to madness, a path to silence. ”

Qi Luoling listened to her words quietly, and then exhaled a long breath, trying to expel the long-standing frustration and sadness from the bottom of her heart.

"But no matter what, I'm going to lose my life." Qi Luoling said.

"You're dying." The witch replied quietly, "But you can save your chances by acting." “

"Can I save myself?"

"Of course, you forgot to ask me, why did you die?"

"By the way, why did I die?"

"Because there is a time limit to being a descendant of devil's music."

"Time-bound?"

"That's right, you have to find the full score of the devil's sorrowful music within the time limit."

"Excuse me, how many movements are there for the sorrow of the devil?"

"There are three movements, each of which is both a separate section and an integral part of the whole movement. The combination of the three is the complete spectrum of the devil's sorrow. ”

"In other words, there are three movements in the whole piece, right?"

"Yes. Your task is to find two more scores within the time limit. “

"I want to find it as soon as possible, but the problem is that I don't know where to start."
