Chapter Seventy-Three: The Curse
The curse of the anomaly is also very simple, but let's start with the anomaly itself.
The story of this anomaly is based on the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast.
There was a poor but beautiful woman who had heard that there was a good job in the Earl's family, but there was a terrible rumor about the Earl's manor, and the woman had hidden a sharp dagger in her pocket for self-defense.
She began to work for the Count, but never found any signs of a monster... At night, she would talk to the Count and get her payment, and over time, the woman became more and more greedy, coveting the Count's estate and wealth...
But strangely, she never saw the Count's true face, and was only told to never enter the Count's room.
She thought that if the Count died, everything would be hers! Driven by greed, the woman stepped into the Count's room and saw the Count's true face...
The Count is a terrible monster, with hundreds of eyes and four strange legs, and the other is neither a human nor a beast—
Then, she took out her dagger and stabbed it at it—
Then, the woman got her wish and got the whole estate...
And the price she paid was to take the place of the dead monster and inherit the curse.
There are no braves, no dragons, only greed and curses that will continue.
This is the reason why Jiang Hai explicitly forbade Galina to do it.
The way to pass on the curse in the story is to attack monsters.
The effect of the curse in the company is that after the oppressive work on Beauty and the Beast, the other party will bow down to indicate the deterioration of health, and if an employee oppresses him again, the anomaly will die, and the employee will become the new Beauty and the Beast.
The newly born Beauty and the Beast seems to have red flowers on its horns······
I don't know how many directors of the goldfish brain have been scrambled to plant on this anomaly, of course, this is off topic.
What Jiang Hai thinks is that the obsession of this fantasy is probably the obsession with the curse, as long as the curse is broken, then the power of the other party can be obtained.
However, considering the characteristics of the other party's T-class anomaly, even if Jiang Hai and Galina are helpless against the curse, as long as they don't obey the curse and become the next Beauty and the Beast, they will be safe and sound, in other words, as long as they don't die, they won't die.
The horn that attacked her just now was most likely the horn of the whimsical Beauty and the Beast, and was part of it.
As for why the horns attacked Belle, Jiang Hai couldn't figure it out for the time being.
But what made Jiang Hai even more incomprehensible was that in addition to Belle, there were two maids in the manor.
Judging by the story of the original work, Beauty and the Beast's curse is a single inheritance, and the curse can only be passed by one person to another person who attacks it, so it is enough for one person to pass it on.
But according to Belle, there are three unlucky ghosts in the manor who may be plagued, which makes Jiang Hai a little puzzled.
What kind of operation is this, could it be that there is more than one so-called "Beauty and the Beast"?
At the heart of Beauty and the Beast lies in curses, which can only be passed on from one person to another, without knowing how many curses there were initially.
Thinking about it this way, it is not impossible that there are multiple Beauty and Beasts, but this is very interesting, if this is the case, Jiang Hai is more curious about the origin of the curse, Jiang Hai even has a bold guess, the manor may continue to produce curses.
Perhaps the answer will be found in the manor.
At this time, Belle spoke: "Now, I have said it bluntly, you have also seen that there is something else in this manor, and you must be careful in the manor at that time, and do not do anything superfluous, and try to leave the next morning." ”
Under the dark clouds, there was a faint light, and there was no way to judge the time by the position of the sun.
Galina asked bluntly, "What time is it?" ”
Belle took out a pocket watch from her arms, glanced at it and hurriedly put it away, Jiang Hai seemed to see that the pocket watch was stained with rust.
"It's four-fifteen p.m., by the way, the bell rings at twelve, and you must not move around the manor—when you can see the sun the next day, try to leave."
"Little Belle, how much do you know about this manor? How did you become a maid of the manor? Galina asked.
Belle's expression was a little embarrassed, and her pretty face forced a smile into it, and said, "Please forgive me, I can't say more." ”
"Belle, you just wanted to escape, didn't you?"
Belle paused when she heard this, turned her head to look at Jiang Hai, and nodded.
"I entered this manor by accident, but when I entered, I found that I couldn't escape this forest no matter what... No matter how you go, you will end up back at this manor. ”
"It's like an island completely isolated from the rest of the world." Belle was a little melancholy, and Galina didn't know what to say.
Well, this is probably the ghost of Beauty and the Beast again, trapping people who strayed into the forest in the manor, and then forcing them to discover the truth about Beauty and the Beast little by little, stimulating them to do something to Beauty and the Beast, and then perpetuating the curse. ’
'Familiar routine... It's still fishing law enforcement, and it's a bit like the Flame Sparrow, but the guy who hunts the Flame Sparrow is out of desire, and the people who strayed into the forest are a little unlucky. ’
Then again, I still haven't figured out the timeline of events - could the Beauty and the Beast in the Fantasy story be the first generation? And how long has it been since Galina and I got here? ’
And there's that curse...
Jiang Hai rubbed his brows and asked, "What about the other two people in the manor?" ”
"I don't know if I should say that... They're a bit weird, but in short, please be sure to guard against everything in the manor. ”
"Including the lovely Belle?" Galina laughed.
“···”
Belle was silent and didn't respond, which already says something.
Jiang Hai didn't say anything when he saw this, and he suddenly couldn't understand Belle.
"Uh... Am I saying something wrong? ”
"No, no, Miss Galina... In short, please take care. ”
As she spoke, Belle swept away the gloom she had before and became lively and cheerful: "Well, please allow me to leave first—I will go back to the manor first to inform the Earl that there is a distinguished visit." ”
After speaking, Belle lifted the hem of her clothes and left first.
Jiang Hai calculated the other party's movement speed, turned on the data visualization again, and found that the other party seemed to be just a human with decent physical fitness, not a fantasy.
Seeing that Belle had already left, Jiang Hai raised his hand and gave Galina a hammer.
