Shenyin closed her mouth tightly, realizing that she couldn't talk to Elizabeth had already taken one, two wrong steps in accordance with her words!
The fact that she had been to the Forbidden Garden and that she went there with a purpose were both found out by Elizabeth in a few words with her!
This man is so terrible!
Unfortunately, Ran Ran had no intention of letting Shen Yin go, nor did she want to be so cruel, but the most obvious clue now was Alice.
At present, Alice is the only one who has a close relationship with Tok, and it is also clear that Alice has been to the scene of death. These two points alone are enough to make her the focus of questioning.
Only by digging out more clues from Alice, it is not unfair for Shenyin to bear all this pressure.
Ran Ran smiled and said, "So what is your purpose, Miss Alice?"
Shen Yin didn't want to talk at all, but everyone's eyes were focused on her, even everyone in the [Pure Black] camp was staring at her...
Aren't they teammates? Why are they putting pressure on her at a time like this?
But somewhere in her heart, she seemed to understand why they did this...
Each character has different tasks. Even though everyone has to work hard for the main task, it does not prevent them from being curious about each other's character tasks.
That’s right, Shenyin didn’t tell the truth when they were explaining their roles and tasks to each other in the secret room.
But she didn't lie completely! She at least told them part of the truth!
Her role mission required keeping it secret, and doesn't keeping it secret mean that no one except herself knows about it?! She was fulfilling her role mission well!
She just wants to live a good life!
Shen Yin felt that she was blameless, at least she did much better than Lord Nian who revealed nothing and the evil words.
But this still couldn't explain why everyone was looking at her... Could it be that the president and the others were beginning to doubt her lies?
According to what she said in the secret room, her mission was to hide the painting. Everything she said so far can be seen as an excuse for this mission. Why would the president and others suspect her?
How did they know that the mission of hiding the painting was fabricated by her?
Shenyin's mind became more and more confused, she was totally upset, everyone's gazes were like heavy stones hitting her, and with every hit, her mentality collapsed a little.
Finally, she was trapped in Ranran's gentle smile and began to think of the situation at that time uncontrollably.
Dinner had just ended and it was not yet dark. Shenyin looked at the previous side quest rewards with some excitement as they were finally revealed.
When she was in the carriage, she couldn't help but complain in her heart: What a bullshit reward, it even needs to be unlocked at a specific time.
But on second thought, after all, her side quest was very easy to complete, and if the reward was also easy to get, it did not seem to match the difficulty of the Flower Eater Cave.
All we need to do is fulfill a coachman's wish to see a doctor.
Shen Yin was very disdainful of this task at the time, because she had already figured out her identity early on - the younger sister of a noble countess.
She had a very high status and, relying on the power of her brother-in-law, Earl Mellis, she had the support of everyone.
With a wave of the hand, you can summon as many doctors as you want.
Then she was extremely lucky to be blessed by God. A doctor? She didn't even need to ask, because her brother-in-law happened to have one.
So her side quest was successfully completed.
Shen Yin looked at the reward name with some confusion - [Before the Rose Blooms]
what?
Shen Yin carefully checked the small words below the reward name in the banquet hall. [When the roses are in full bloom, the character Alice will be in danger. Players now have a chance to save her. Please go to the forbidden area of the castle - the Earl's Garden to save your character Alice.]
Shen Yin's heart suddenly jumped up, and as soon as she folded the panel, she saw a blood-red arrow jumping under her feet.
It was like some kind of terrifying spell reminding her to be careful with her nickname!
Shen Yin did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed to the forbidden garden. She could not concentrate on anything along the way, and the only words that kept repeating in her mind were "completely in danger".
During the period when the player is a character, if the character dies, the player will also die. Shenyin is very clear about this!
So she was quite panicked!
Occasionally on the road, she would meet servants who looked at her in confusion as she hurried along. She would put on a cold face and pretend to glance at them, but in her heart she was afraid that these servants would discover something.
Nothing can delay her from saving herself!
Finally she arrived at the forbidden garden. She tried her best to break the lock of the glass greenhouse, but when she entered she found nothing but roses that had not yet bloomed.
The bloody red arrow was still jumping under her feet. Shen Yin couldn't understand it. She had clearly reached her destination, hadn't she?
After thinking it over, she guessed that it meant she needed to wait.
After all, the reward hint also said that Alice would only be in danger when the rose was in full bloom, so she just had to figure it out before then.
Shen Yin waited for a long time, and the rose seemed to be changing every minute, but when she looked closely, the changes seemed like her illusion.
Finally... when the roses in the glass greenhouse were about to bloom, Shenyin waited for someone.
A tall male servant with blue eyes, carrying a large bag on his back. While Shen Yin was still guessing what was behind him, he opened the backpack.
He took out lots of painting tools, all kinds of brushes and paints.
Facing the bright moonlight, Shen Yin heard him speak softly.
"Flower Eater, I had a wonderful encounter today. I seem to have...finally figured out my path."
“Beauty itself needs to be pursued, and it is pursued endlessly, but the value behind it is not needed. Beauty does not need any added value at all. It itself is an infinite value.”
Shen Yin listened to his chattering and was caught off guard because she heard her name in his whispers!
Alice's name to be exact!
"As for my dear Miss Alice... This will be the last time I paint for you. What you project on me is not appreciation. I already know what real appreciation is."
“Maybe it was wrong from the beginning…”
Shen Yin hid among the roses and heard Toke's sigh.
"I think the appreciation and love between people, like beauty, transcends everything."
"To transcend status, transcend class, transcend high and low, transcend the rules and systems of this world, unfortunately... it doesn't exist."
Shen Yin was in no mood to listen to Toke's inexplicable words. She just wanted to know why he knew Alice, what his relationship with Alice was, and whether he had anything to do with Alice's dangerous situation!
Should she immediately step out from the flowers and question him? As long as she gets everything clear, there should be no danger!
While Shenyin was still hesitating, Toke had already picked up the paintbrush and started painting on the white paper on the easel.
He painted very quickly, quickly and well! Shen Yin even forgot about the danger for a moment and was only immersed in Tok's painting.
At a certain moment, she suddenly woke up.
Because she saw the outline of Alice on the piece of paper that had been painted all over with a brush!
At that moment, her instinctive alarm bells went off!
Alice's danger is this painting! (End of this chapter)
