This NPC really has a problem

"When you mention your mother, you are always upset." The little girl stretched out her hand and stroked the corner of the housekeeper's mouth, as if she wanted to raise the corner of her mouth into a smile.

"Is there?" "Steward Lu" asked.

Children are sometimes far more sensitive than adults imagine.

"Luosha" nodded: "Yes, exactly the same as mom."

"It's not a big deal," said the butler, "at least we all like little Rosa."

The sunlight coated the little girl with a layer of soft gold, and the amber pupils seemed to be transparent under the sky light, without a trace of haze.

Even though the sunlight at this time couldn't harm Steward Lu's body, he still stood silently in the shadow cast by the wall, quietly being a bystander in the past.

The smoked wind gently brushed the girl's cheek.

"Aisha" asked "Steward Lu" to pick her up, and lay down on the window sill to look down.There were many roses transplanted in the garden not long ago, but at this time there are only branches and leaves, and they have not yet bloomed.

The little girl murmured: "When will they bloom..."

"In May, little Rosa." "Steward Lu" answered her.

"It will take a long time..." The little girl was a little disappointed.

Suddenly, a rose appeared in front of her eyes, and "Losa" let out a small exclamation.

She treasured the paper-folded flower in her hand and said softly, "Rose."

"Steward Lu" stretched out his finger and pointed at the petals: "There are only white roses now, and little Rosa can paint it with any color she likes."

"White roses are very beautiful," "Luo Sha" shook her head, then looked up at "Steward Lu", and exclaimed in a surprised and admiring tone, "Steward Lu is so amazing."

She grabbed the housekeeper's clothes and acted like a baby: "Can you teach me? I also want to fold roses."

"Of course, little Rosa."

Steward Lu looked at his other self and walked back with the little girl in his arms after saying this.He followed without much hesitation, and followed them to the familiar study.

"Steward Lu" hugged "Luosha" and sat down on the chair, opened the bottom drawer of the small desk, and pulled out a stack of blank papers.

"I'll fold it first, little Rosa, please read it carefully," said the housekeeper.

He obviously slowed down, at least Steward Lu felt that he folded much faster now.

"Luosha" stared intently at the movements of the butler's hands.

"...Finally, fold the corners of the petals to create the curvature of the petals." The housekeeper put the folded paper rose into the little girl's hand, "This is it."

He picked up two more blank sheets of paper and handed one of them to the little girl: "Fold it with me next, little Rosa."

Steward Lu looked at the white paper roses that gradually piled up on the table, some were lifelike and some seemed to be falling apart in the next second. The former was undoubtedly made by "Steward Lu", and "Luo Sha" broke several pieces of paper , before folding out a slightly decent rose.

When she finally folded a paper rose as beautiful as "Steward Lu"——

Butler Lu looked back in a daze.

The wall behind him melted like snow.

He lowered his head. The wooden floor was like paper. Someone set a fire on the edge, and it gradually turned to ashes.

Darkness engulfed him in an instant.

But the snow-white window screen was still blown by the breeze, and it floated on the man's back lightly, as if someone had opened his arms to wrap him in his arms.In the darkness, only that window, that desk, the two people, one big and one small, and the paper rose on that table were sprinkled with light.

"I learned it!" The little girl excitedly raised the paper rose in her hand.

She rubbed her cheek against the man's chin affectionately, and then they also disappeared into the darkness.

The light in memory is just swallowed up by the darkness of reality.

Steward Lu found himself still in the corridor late at night, and everything in front of him seemed to be just a dream.

There was a low sobbing sound in my ears.

He looked down, and Rosa fell on the ground, unpacking the paper rose with trembling hands.She wanted to turn the rose back, but she couldn't restore it after several attempts.

"I forgot..." Rosa's voice was extremely desperate.

She forgot more than how to fold a paper rose.

She forgot too much, when she watched those guests fleeing in front of her in a hurry, when she greedily stared at the necks of living people, talking and laughing with her mother before she wiped off the human blood on her mouth At that time, she didn't think of the past at all.

She degenerated into an ogre in the dark, forgetting that she was once illuminated by the sun.

Steward Lu knelt on the ground on one knee, took the crumpled piece of paper from Luosa's hand, and slowly folded a rose.

Rosa looked at his hands without blinking.

Just like in the past, Steward Lu folded roses slowly so that she could see every step clearly.But she is not smart, and her hands are also clumsy. She always looks at the next step and forgets the previous step. Even if Steward Lu teaches her to fold it by hand, she will fold it wrong.

Butler Lu has never been impatient.

He would just take a new blank sheet of paper and say in a soft voice, little Rosa, let's do it again.

How could she have forgotten?

How can you forget that you are alone and throw away all the things you cherished in the past?

The paper became a rose, a battered rose.

"Steward Lu," Luosa asked softly, holding the paper rose in her arms, "When will the rose bloom?"

Butler Lu replied: "In May, when the winter is over and the temperature gradually warms up, they will re-pluck out their young leaves and buds, and they will bloom when the time comes."

"It's going to be a long time," Luosa said with a smile on her face covered with blood and tears, "I probably won't see it anymore."

She asked Steward Lu, "Can you take me to the window?"

Housekeeper Lu responded in a low voice, and hugged Luosa as in the past, so that Luosa's hands could be placed on the window sill, and she could enjoy the garden scenery from a height.

Had she seen the sight of roses blooming in the garden?Butler Lu thought.

You should have seen it. Children seem to change their appearance in a day. They grow up crazily in places where adults cannot see. There is not much difference in height between the Rosa in the past and the Rosa now. These roses are transplanted here It should be this year.

In her short life, she had at least seen a real rose.

"There, Dad dug it." Rosa stretched out her hand, pointing to the three pits in the garden, one big and one small.

"That's nice," she smiled contentedly, "they're so close to the roses."

Butler Lu remained silent.

They have forgotten a lot and abandoned their humanity, but they still planned their own ending unconsciously.

Luosa said softly, "Steward Lu, I'm giving up."

She closed her eyes: "I don't want to do this again."

Luosa dozed off, her little head bit by bit in Lu Butler's arms, and gradually stopped moving.

After a while, Steward Lu realized that she was not asleep.

The small body in her arms was cold and stiff, and her mother forcibly pulled her dead back into the world, and now she gave up everything that shouldn't belong to her, and returned to the embrace of death.

……

Pale fingertips brushed against the blade, and under the thin moonlight, the blade reflected pale light.

Zhong Changya swallowed, wriggled and retreated to the corner of the wall, and finally there was no way to retreat.

Mrs. Tulun turned her back to the window, so she couldn't see her face clearly, and the black shadow she cast completely enveloped Zhong Changya.

She tried to discuss with the boss: "This is not good, really. People slaughtered animals 1000 years ago and euthanized them first. You are not in line with the humanitarian spirit..." Swish——

Mrs. Tulum tried to swing the sharp knife, and there was a sound of cutting through the air from the blade.

Zhong Changya said incoherently: "Your behavior violates the Federal Constitution. I, I will warn you for the last time. Your behavior is extremely excessive and anti-human... Stay away from me!"

Zhong Changya tried to jump, but then fell back.

Mrs. Tulun might be afraid that she would be too bloody to splash the food in the room, so she specially tied her up with a rope.

Zhong Changya stared at Dead Fish Eyes.

Desperate to run away, unable to return to heaven.

What can she do, she can only choose to log out of the game.

[Do you want to force log out of the game?If you choose Yes, this dungeon is judged to be a personal failure and cannot be rolled back temporarily. 】

【whether】

Zhong Changya almost chose "Yes".

Clang.

The sharp knife fell to the ground.

Zhong Changya was stunned, and didn't press the logout button for a while.

Boss suddenly put down the butcher knife, did he want me to talk about it first and walk through the process?

Zhong Changya thought wildly, but didn't dare to speak out.

She was still haunted by the shadow of Madame Tulum.

The kitchen fell into a strange silence, and after a long time, a woman's trembling voice sounded: "Luosha..."

"My Rosa..."

Zhong Changya looked in horror at the trembling woman who wanted to cut her alive not long ago, and there was a whimper in her throat.

Something supporting this body seemed to be taken away in an instant, and she lost the most important treasure in her life, and she couldn't even stand on the ground.

Zhong Changya watched Mrs. Tulun stumbling out of the kitchen. She was a little frightened by the sudden change, and it took her a while to recover. She struggled to move towards the sharp knife on the ground, trying to use it to cut the rope that bound her .

"...Zhong Changya?" A man's extremely low voice suddenly sounded from the kitchen.

Zhong Changya heard it all at once, stopped in place, and asked, "Chen Jin?"

crunch.

The door of a cabinet in the corner was pushed open, and Chen Jin's head poked out. He looked around with a sneaky look.

Zhong Changya was a little speechless: "The boss is gone."

Chen Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death, I thought I was going to hear something that would hurt my young heart."

A person with a bad image of youth says he has a young heart.

Zhong Changya felt a little sick.

Chen Jin climbed out of the cabinet, picked up the knife on the ground and separated the rope for Zhong Changya.Zhong Changya had to admit that this comrade with a young heart was still somewhat useful at this time, at least it saved her a lot of effort.

Zhong Changya's limbs were numb from being tied up, and she felt better after moving around in place.

"Why did the boss leave all of a sudden?" Chen Jin asked.

"I don't know." Zhong Changya shook her head, she was so stupid when she narrowly escaped death, she didn't even pay attention to what Mrs. Tulun said.

She only knew that Mrs. Tulum's voice was so painful that her heart trembled when she heard it.

"Let's go first." Zhong Changya said, "In case Mrs. Tulun will come back soon."

Her own life is in danger, how can she have the energy to take care of the BOSS now.

"Hey, do I have to go too?" Chen Jin pointed at himself in surprise.

"Nonsense." Zhong Changya said unhappily, "Mrs. Tulun came back and found that I had run away. Maybe she didn't search the kitchen? Let's go and find another hiding place!"

……

The footsteps from far to near lost their usual demeanor, and they stepped on the skirt a few times and almost tripped over themselves. Steward Lu could hear that Mrs. Tulun was panicking just by hearing the voice.

Turning a corner, she saw Butler Lu leaning on the window sill.All the closed windows were opened, and the moonlight shone on the man holding the girl.

The moonlight is so soft, they are afraid of the sun, but they are not afraid of the moon.But why the water-like clear light didn't shine on the body at this time, but fell into the eyes, and the eyes hurt like a knife?

"Losa...my Rosa," Madam Tulum yelled, "Give it back to me!"

She almost rushed forward, but Steward Lu endured the impact, and let go of Mrs. Tulun's hand when it touched Rosa, allowing her to take his daughter away.

Take her daughter's body away.

"Ah—" the woman cried out in pain.

She fell to the ground, tears hitting the girl's face.There are two similar faces, one big and one small, one is ferocious and the other is quiet.

"Don't be afraid of Rosa... Mom will save you, Mom will save you!" Mrs. Tulun hugged the girl tightly, "This time, this time will definitely save you!"

A key appeared in her hand, and she sliced ​​open her wrist, leaving the key covered in her blood.

Mrs. Tulun spat out syllables that Steward Lu could not understand, and painted strange runes on Luosa's body.

Butler Lu just looked at them silently, and his expression fluctuated for a moment when he saw the key.

All in vain.

No matter how many times she chanted the spell and how many runes she drew, the dead girl did not open her eyes.

Mrs. Tulum stared blankly at Rosa's face, as if her soul had been taken away.

"She doesn't want to live," Lu Butler said indifferently, "She doesn't want to 'live' like that."

The voice seemed to recall the soul of Mrs. Tulum.

She twisted her neck stiffly, and stared at Steward Lu with eyes almost overflowing with hatred: "You killed my Luosha."

Butler Lu didn't deny it.

He is also a person who has forgotten the past. At least from the memory he currently has, he was indeed the one who killed Rosa.

But he was not the only murderer who caused Rosa's death.

"Why!" Madam Tulun said sadly, "Why did you take away everything from me! You took away my love, my freedom, and you also took away my daughter!"

She stared at him viciously, as if about to bite a piece of flesh off his body: "I won't let you go!"

She got up from the ground, hugged the silent girl and walked back along the way she came.

As she was about to turn the corner—

Butler Lu's voice sounded behind her: "When did I take away your freedom?"

The voice was puzzled and light, as if asking and answering, but it fell heavily on her heart.

"Heh." Madam Tulum let out a low mocking laugh from her throat.

"You forgot...Since you can't remember, why can't you remember everything?" She said coldly, "Why do you only remember your own misfortune, but not the pain of others!"

She turned around.

"Do you think you are innocent?" Mrs. Tulum paused every word, "You are a cowardly and rebellious villain!"

There seemed to be a maniacal smile on the burnt and bloody face.

Butler Lu watched her disappear from his sight, around the corner of the corridor.

He looked up at the moon in the sky.

Alone, silently watching the joys and sorrows of the moon.

He also seemed to be cut by the moonlight, and there was an empty space in his heart, and the sadness just overflowed like this.

A woman's mournful voice came from afar.

Such a sad voice was used to read a short poem about lovesickness and love.

/Quiet night, you walked into my dream/

/Hold my hand, step on a steed, and escape from the cage-like forest/

/Beyond the forest, there are no high beds and soft pillows, no jewels and dresses/

/Only the vast wilderness/

—You took away my love, you took away my freedom!

The voice seemed to echo in my ears.

Butler Lu lowered his eyes.

/And I would like to spend my whole life wandering with you/

……

Today's castle is too quiet.

"Strange, where did Steward Lu go?" Bai Zhu searched in the castle.

After Steward Lu took the little girl away last night, Bai Zhu always worried that the little girl would come back.Although he believed in Butler Lu, he also knew that it was impossible for Butler Lu to stay up all night. Maybe the little girl ran out after Butler Lu fell asleep due to uncontrollable forces, and Bai Zhu simply moved to another room.

It's next door to the study room, which should be the little girl's toy room.Inside the toy room was a two-meter-tall furry bear. Bai Zhu emptied the bear and got in. He only pulled down the zipper on the back to let him breathe. The cotton he took out was stuffed between the cabinet and the wall by Bai Zhu. in the crevice.

No one entered the room all night, and Bai Zhu even slept for half an hour after dawn.

Thanks to the half-hour sleep suit, Bai Zhu is not very sleepy now, after confirming that all his companions are alive through the mobile phone, he still has time to look for Steward Lu.

But Bai Zhu searched all over the castle but found no one.

"You can't be in the Tulun family's room, right?" Bai Zhu scratched his head and glanced out the window inadvertently.

Speaking of which, the windows in the castle have been tightly closed, so why are the windows in this corridor wide open?

The black umbrella in the garden seems a bit familiar...

The three holes in the garden had somehow been filled with the smaller one, and at this moment a man was sitting by the filled hole, holding a black umbrella to block the sun.

A corner of a tuxedo peeked out from under the umbrella.

Bai Zhu blinked, wondering if he was hallucinating from lack of sleep.

He rubbed his eyes again, only to see that the black umbrella shook slightly, exposing the small half of the person under the umbrella.

Even if he didn't see his face clearly, the butler's uniform was all too familiar.

No way?

Bai Zhu was very confused.

Why did Steward Lu come down under the sun?

The author has something to say: Sorry for not having six thousand words.

The main reason is that this chapter is just right here, and it is inconvenient to continue.

1k words will be added tomorrow, as for writing 4k or 6k, it depends on the situation.

In the comments, there is a cutie who said that she didn't understand well... well, I should be able to understand it in a few chapters.It doesn't feel like there are many clues left.
