Penitent hand, trembling slightly

Shen Maomao was taken aback, and just as he was about to speak to remind Jin Mao, Lou Jingmo pulled his arm.She showed a puzzled expression, while Lou Jingmo put his index finger in front of his lips, and then pointed to the flowers near the golden hair.

She took a closer look and discovered the clue.

The roses that grew on the back of the golden retriever yesterday are very well-behaved today. They surround the golden retriever. The two small leaves under the receptacle are slightly curved and drag the petals upwards, just like children holding their faces and listening to the teacher telling a story.

Shen Maomao: "..." Why is this rose so cute?

The golden retriever shoveled the soil for a long time, and the last shovel landed on some very hard object. He quickly stopped, turned his head and called the two women: "I really dug something by myself, Miss Xiaolou, Miss Rabbit, you guys! Come and see!"

Freckles standing outside the garden heard his voice, and walked in quickly.All four of them squatted down and looked at each other around the round flower pot that looked dark.

It was Lou Jingmo who made the first move.She picked up the flower pot and knocked it hard on the ground twice, and a lot of soil fell down with a "crash".The left and right sides of the bottom of the flower pot lost the most soil, and the whole flower pot was no longer round, but turned into a shape with a round top and a wide bottom.

Jin Mao's legs softened, he sat down on the ground, and asked nervously: "Miss Xiaolou...is this a skull?"

"Congratulations, you got the answer right." Lou Jingmo said quietly, "You are so smart, you might as well guess again, what kind of creature's skull is this?"

Golden Retriever: "..." Don't want to guess at all, okay? !

Shen Maomao couldn't help cursing: "I'm a baron, a pervert, and I actually use human skulls as flowerpots? Damn, is this something that humans can do?"

Freckles said from the side: "There is more than one rose here."

Both Shen Maomao and Jinmao were taken aback for a moment, and the two half-cute girls turned their heads in unison, looking at the hundreds of roses in the sea of ​​roses, feeling shuddering in their hearts.

The moment they looked over, the roses shook their bodies crazily and made some strange "cheeping" sounds.

The golden retriever moved back several times with its buttocks in the sitting position, and asked in panic: "What are you doing?!"

Lou Jingmo kicked the shovel in front of Shen Maomao and said, "Dug out all the restless roses."

Shen Maomao: "There are so many roses, I, a weak woman, dig it myself?"

Lou Jingmo walked under the tree, took out three more shovels from his tool bucket, and threw one in front of each of them: "Dig together, hurry up."

This time, no one had any objections, and everyone took their shovels and entered the flower field, but the golden retriever was a little scared, and wanted to stay with Shen Maomao desperately.

The roses were screaming "Guji Guji", Shen Maomao crouched in the bushes and carefully loosened the soil for its roots.The golden retriever came to her side, digging the root of another "Guji Guji" rose, and while waving a small shovel, he talked to Shen Maomao: "Sister Rabbit, are you afraid?"

Shen Maomao turned his head and looked at him expressionlessly: "I'm so scared, hey, brother Jin Mao, can you help me with my work."

The golden retriever shivered: "Big Brother Rabbit, can you be my big brother?"

Shen Maomao couldn't help laughing, shaking his head triumphantly.

The rose under her hand trembled more violently, as if urging her not to be lazy and work hard.She hurriedly continued to dig its human skull flower pot, and said to the golden retriever as she started: "Since you can't help me, don't bother me. Work hard, Xiao Jin, and one day you will be promoted and raise your salary."

Golden Retriever: "..."

The atmosphere on the side of the two was quite harmonious, while Lou Jingmo on the other side glanced at their direction, quickly looked away, and focused on the rose in his hand.

It's just that her eyes were a little dark, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

……

Several people worked hard for a while, cleared up a quarter of the area of ​​the rose field, and turned out more than a dozen skeletons of different sizes, some of which had a large number of scattered skeletons beside them.

Everyone rested for a while, and Shen Maomao and Jin Mao tremblingly hugged the bones together with pots and flowers to the open space in front of the rose garden.

Freckles only took one look and said, "Both the skull and the skeleton belong to women."

The golden retriever asked, "How did you find out?"

"I'm a doctor." Freckles said lightly, "These skulls are smooth, with no obvious eyebrow arches, obvious frontal nodules, no prominent cheekbones, and shallow orbits. They belong to women at first glance."

Shen Maomao and Jinmao were confused, Jinmao only heard the first sentence clearly, and almost didn't understand the rest; Shen Maomao was surprised that a person like freckles, who was full of blood, was actually an angel in white?

Freckles didn't bother to explain in detail, so he simply picked up a few bones and looked at them carefully, and said, "From the teeth... Forget it, you don't understand, the owners of these bones should not be very old, maybe around [-] years old. "

,female.

It doesn't take much to figure out who these skulls belong to.

Shen Maomao poohed three times at the castle behind him, and raised his left and right middle fingers.

Lou Jingmo wrapped his palms with his sleeves, and tried to pull down a clump of roses planted in the skull. He tried two or three times, but the roses screamed "嗤嗤", but failed.

Plants are fragile, but also extremely tenacious.

The small space in the skull was simply not enough for the rose to grow freely, so it stretched its roots even harder, piercing the roots into the skull, blending with it, and it couldn't be pulled out.

Just looking at such a scene, Shen Maomao felt his head tighten for a while.

After resting enough, they continued to search for the skulls in the garden, and cleared out half of the area in one breath. They found forty or fifty heads and several bones of various kinds.

Lou Jingmo lowered his head and read a long series of vague words, Shen Maomao asked curiously, "Sister Lou, what are you doing?"

Lou Jingmo: "Save them."

Shen Maomao: "... Sister Lou, you know a lot."

……

The last quarter of the area was only half cleared, and suddenly two eager footsteps came from a distance, and the sound was getting closer and closer to where they were.

Fortunately, in order to find the skull pots, all of them squatted on the ground, and the roses were high enough to hide the whole person when they squatted, so their positions were not exposed.

Messy footsteps passed by them quickly, the two fleeing for their lives gritted their teeth, dodged into the bald rose garden, and came face to face with Shen Maomao and the others.

"Shh-!"

"Shh-"

The people who came were Dongfang and Wen Muyan. The two groups of people made a movement at the same time, and the six people had relaxed smiles on their faces.

Shen Maomao looked down, there were six shadows in total, and there were no other abnormalities for the time being, so he immediately felt relieved.

There was no movement outside for a long time, and the golden retriever couldn't help but want to take a look, but was immediately pressed down by Lou Jingmo's eyes.

A few more footsteps sounded not far away, something was walking around "tap-tat-tat-tat", Shen Maomao's heart was beating super fast and pounding wildly.

The footsteps turned to the left for a while, then to the right for a while, and finally stood in front of the skull that they had dug out and had no time to cover up, and stopped.

Shen Maomao's heart seemed to jump into his throat, and he tried to judge the direction of the footsteps with his ears sideways.

But there was no sound, and the surrounding area was extremely quiet, like the last calm before the storm.

"Hee hee hee……"

The little roses in the skull flower pots placed in front of the garden let out strange laughter, and then began to scream "吱嘎向向".

Sounds like... talking to something?

Shen Maomao looked at Lou Jingmo, and found that she was actually listening, and his admiration for Lou Jingmo immediately increased to a higher level.

Sister Lou is amazing, she actually understands the language of roses [Like it].

The little roses talked for a while, and then the footsteps sounded again, and they went away again.

The originally dignified atmosphere in the air disappeared immediately, and Shen Maomao squatted cautiously, his eyes were exposed above the bushes, and he saw two blurred backs going away.

She breathed a sigh of relief and greeted the others: "It's okay, they are gone."

The golden retriever said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the roses saved us in the end..."

The little roses in the front pinched their waists with leaves, raised their heads, and were very proud.

Freckles looked at the embarrassed Dongfang and Wen Muyan, and asked, "What's going on?"

Wen Muyan gasped heavily: "They're all alive!"

Did the dead nobles and servants actually come back to life?Just as Shen Maomao thought about it, Dongfang added: "The players are all alive."

Shen Maomao: "??"

Dongfang: "All the dead players have been resurrected. In addition, the six of us have also been 'resurrected'."

"I don't know what adjective to use to say 'resurrection', so I just wanted to say it... I think the word 'replication' might be more appropriate." He looked towards the castle, then immediately looked back, and continued, "I and After Xiaowen went in, I saw Lin Fei, who was confirmed dead by my own eyes."

"When we were exchanging information yesterday, I didn't think about it. Lin Fei seemed to be bewitched yesterday. He said that he wanted to snatch the second lady back and not allow her to be traded as a commodity. He insisted on rushing into the castle and was shot dead by the guard npc at the gate. Well, Freckles and I dragged the corpse away."

Freckles nodded, agreeing with what he said.

Dongfang continued: "But when I walked into the castle today, I found him standing among a group of guards, looking at me blankly, without any wounds on his body, as if... he was turned into an emotionless man by the game. npc."

"No!" Wen Muyan interrupted suddenly, "He is conscious...I saw his tears!"

She hugged her arm, as if recalling that scene, she couldn't help shivering: "You didn't see it with your own eyes, and you couldn't really feel that feeling... I was stared at by him at that time. It's all numb—his eyes are watery, but his body doesn't move at all, his body and spirit seem to be split into two parts..."

Seeing the dead people appear alive in front of her eyes was not as shocking as this watery light brought her.

If the result of death is not liberation, but staying in such a weird world, being trapped in a body that cannot be controlled by oneself...

This kind of punishment is definitely more terrifying than pure death.
