Adventurer, did you revive today by watching the ads too?

The Dark Forest?

When the Trisolarans arrive, you can chat.

Hua Zhen's expression turned serious as she watched Martha slowly approach.

Indeed, women with strong desires exude a very voluptuous feminine scent.

However, in terms of taste and appearance, Huazhen Geren still prefers the white daifuku.

As the saying goes, the most painful thing is not what you choose.

The problem is that you have no choice.

The great thinker, Soldier Boy, once said...

Women are like fine wine, becoming more mellow with age.

However, if you ask Hua Zhen, Martha is more like a raisin, the older she gets, the more wrinkles she has.

Miss Martha drew closer, and her skirt rose higher and higher.

She is estimated to be under thirty years old, with a plump body around 1.75 meters tall, resembling a corrupted matriarchal character from a doujinshi.

To put it bluntly, she's just an old lady...

Just as the hem of her skirt was about to cross the line, Miss Martha suddenly let go of her hand, and as the skirt fell naturally, her hand rested on Hua Zhen's shoulder.

"Xiao Zhen...you don't seem very happy. Is it because I'm not pretty enough?"

"Is it possible that I'm unhappy because I'm about to die...?"

"It's alright. If you want to know where Fitia is, you'll naturally have to pay something... We business people believe in honest business practices and payment upon delivery."

"So, you really don't care if the contents of the package are leaked?"

"Well... I do care about that a little bit, but compared to you, it's nothing."

As she spoke, Martha's face revealed a foolish expression, accompanied by a greedy look in her eyes.

"Do you know why I'm willing to give you 70,000 Sola a month to come and keep me company?"

"Why?" Hua Zhen asked instinctively.

"Because the first time I saw you, I knew you would be my best toy! A hundred times better than any of the products I sell!" She grabbed Hua Zhen, a sickly smile spreading across her beautiful face. "Powerful! You've got the weight to it!"

What a terrifying woman.

Hua Zhen silently tensed her fingers, and could feel her knuckles cracking slightly.

now.

just now.

Right here.

He was certain that he was about to use his invincible golden touch to completely break down this woman's physical defenses!

This is not about selling out one's dignity, but about waging an unparalleled war of conquest!

That's right, Tia!

Your words are about to be proven true; I'm determined to soak this ceiling with water!

Martha suddenly snapped her fingers.

A hissing sound came from the darkness of the bedroom, and a rich aroma of fragrance gradually wafted out.

What's going on?

Does this mean we need to add some fragrance to set the mood before it officially begins?

Hua Zhen found it a bit strange, since the room already smelled quite strong.

An even stronger fragrance wafted over.

After inhaling these gases, Hua Zhen's head became dizzy within seconds.

He realized something was wrong, but it was too late, because he couldn't even muster the strength to move his body.

Soon, Hua Zhen's eyes became unfocused, and her pupils went out of focus.

Martha watched all of this with satisfaction.

"I knew you'd come back for me, so I specially prepared this 'Restore Mind Potion' for you, which I bought at great expense from an alchemist... But I didn't expect something like this to happen after you came back. Tsk tsk, being an adventurer is a dangerous profession. The Cursed Eye is quite troublesome."

"Return...a sanity potion?" Hua Zhen's consciousness hadn't completely shut down yet, and he asked intermittently.

"Yes, this is a potion that can revert a person's mind to that of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old," Martha said with a smile. "I've had my eye on you since the first moment I saw you, but..."

Martha's smile suddenly turned cold: "How strange, how strange! Why are you like this now? Why can't people go back to their past state? Why didn't we meet when you were thirteen?"

Miss Martha looked regretful and sighed softly.

"Hua Zhen, let me be frank... you're too old."

"That's...my...line," Hua Zhen said with difficulty.

At that moment, Hua Zhen realized with despair that he had met a "fellow traveler".

Miss Martha.

A beauty that surpasses that of ordinary people.

Skin as white as ice crystals.

But her character is even worse than his own; she likes little boys…

All these reasons combined... mainly the last one, and Hua Zhen finally understood.

Martha... she is a woman of Lonos!

She belongs to the same breed as Tia's mother!

"While it's difficult to physically return you to that adorable, boyish-boy-to-teenage-age period, it's a different story when it comes to your spirit," Miss Marla stroked Hua Zhen's face, caressing it like a precious jewel. "You should have just agreed to my request back then. If you had, you wouldn't have encountered something as dangerous as the curse, and I could have possessed you sooner."

"Own...it?"

"Yes, this 'mind-restoring drug' will not have a negative effect on the user in the short term, and the user will forget what happened during the period when the drug was effective. However, if used for a long time, the user's mind and memory will completely return to the stage when they are about to enter puberty. Only in this way can I train you into a perfect toy that conforms to my will."

Martha pressed the button on the side wall.

A mechanism somewhere was triggered, and the wall slid to the side, revealing a display case hidden inside the wall, which was filled with all sorts of strange and wonderful props.

As a seller of purple moods, Martha's reserves in this area are no less than Gilgamesh's Royal Treasury.

"You know what, Zhen... I have so many ways I want to try them all on you."

Martha was still smiling, but that beautiful smile terrified Hua Zhen.

This woman is so awful!

Coming to this godforsaken place tonight was a complete mistake!

If just a minute ago Hua Zhen's fighting spirit was still in the stage of launching a fierce attack with three single attacks.

At this moment, he has become a cowardly lizard.

Tia, save me!

Karula, save me!

Shiva, help me!

I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never again seek out rich women for money!

Unfortunately, no one responded to his cries for help.

Hua Zhen's consciousness gradually faded.

A few minutes later, he opened his eyes again and found himself in a soft, large bed.

What comes into view is a beautiful, voluptuous woman with big, wavy hair.

"Huh?" Hua Zhen was stunned for a moment. "How...how did I get here?"

"You're finally awake," the beautiful older sister said anxiously. "Have you forgotten who I am?"

"Who...who are you?"

"I'm your childhood sweetheart, we grew up together, and I've always taken care of you. Have you forgotten?"

"I..." Hua Zhen shook her head, pressing her hand to her head, "but I don't remember."

"Because you were in a car accident, you lost your memory," the beautiful older sister sat down next to Hua Zhen. "So now, as your childhood friend, I have to find a way to restore your memory."

"What...what should we do?"

Hua Zhen's face was full of confusion.

I don't remember who I am, where I am... I can't remember anything except my name.

Is this my own home? I really want to play computer games.

"Don't rush, let's start the treatment now."

The older sister leaned against the headboard, her skirt lifted, and said with a charming expression, "See? This is where the treatment is. Come on over, I'll patiently teach you step by step."

Martha was both proud and excited.

Haha, I finally got my hands on it, didn't I?

"Eh? I...I don't want to..."

Why?

"Because... I always feel that my older sister's private area is dark and disgusting," Hua Zhen, whose mental state is still in a childlike stage, stared at her older sister's private area with a look of disgust and fear. "And it smells terrible, like a pigsty..."

Martha's expression froze, as if she had been struck by lightning.

……

……

Tia felt somewhat uneasy.

Although she had encouraged Hua Zhen beforehand, she herself was actually unsure of herself.

He felt like an unemployed, incompetent husband who could only watch helplessly as his wife went to the beer-bellied landlord's house to try and get some rent. Every day felt like an eternity.

Karula and Shiva, on the other hand, were quite carefree, having already shown off the pastries served by the maid twice.

Just then, footsteps came from the stairs.

It was Hua Zhen and Miss Martha.

Tia glanced at the clock on the wall; less than five minutes had passed.

Look at Hua Zhen, he's completely dazed and needs Martha's support to walk steadily.

Looking at Martha, she seemed quite dejected, not at all satisfied.

This doesn't make sense, does it?

What exactly happened?

Upon seeing this, the maid immediately went to help.

"Well then, you two have a good talk with Xiaoya. I'm going back to rest." After escorting Huazhen to the sofa, Miss Martha turned and left.

"Oi!" Tia called out to Martha, "What did you do to Hua Zhen?"

"He's allergic to aromatherapy; he'll be fine after a night's rest," Miss Martha said, waving Hua Zhen wearily. "That's all."

Tia wanted to follow up and get to the bottom of it.

However, the maid stopped him.

"This Mr. Hua Zhen is fine; he only experienced temporary dissociative symptoms."

"What symptoms?"

"He's just a little disoriented, but he'll be fine after a rest," the maid said. "Don't you have more important things to do right now?"

"So...you are Fitaia?" Tia asked.

"You could say that in a way," the maid said, "but please call me Xiaoya. I'm the adventurer you're looking for."

"No," Tiague paused, "then why didn't you say anything just now?!"

"Excuse me, I am Miss Martha's maid. I have to prioritize Miss Martha in many things, and she doesn't allow me to reveal my past identity casually."

Tia took a deep breath to calm herself.

"Then, could you please tell us how to lift the curse?"

"Yes," Fitia nodded, "but to be precise, it's not about lifting the curse. No one has yet found a way to lift the curse of the cursed words."

"So... you're saying you bypassed the curse in some other way?" This time it was Hua Zhen who spoke; he seemed to have recovered slightly from his abnormal state. "Can you just tell us directly?"

"Hua Zhen, are you alright?" Tia asked with concern. "You...you weren't ruined, were you?"

"What are you talking about..." Hua Zhen looked at Tia Ge with some curiosity. "I just... never mind, anyway, I don't feel any discomfort... Sorry, Fitia, please continue."

"Don't try to lift the curse, it's pointless," Fitia said after a pause. "But you can avoid the consequences of the curse by breaking the rules or by deceiving the Eye of the Curse."

Break the rules.

Deceive the Cursed Eye.

Hua Zhen and Tia Ge could only vaguely grasp the former, which was probably the method Professor Flo had mentioned. It was fine for just surviving, but if they wanted to continue being adventurers, they would have to find another way.

"Let's talk about the latter in detail," Tia said. "What if we get plastic surgery or something... although I think it would be a waste to get plastic surgery on my face."

"Unfortunately, the Eye of Curse targets the soul," Fitia said slowly. "So this method won't work. Some adventurers have tried to do it, but they all failed. What I mean by deceiving the Eye of Curse is to extract a non-essential part of one's own soul as bait, and then use magic to greatly conceal one's own soul attributes, thereby achieving the effect of deceiving the Eye of Curse... To be honest, I've done it myself."

"Uh..." Tia paused for a moment, "Can't we just directly conceal our...you know, soul? It feels a bit like taking off your pants to fart, completely unnecessary..."

"No." Fitia shook her head. "Once the Eye of Curse fails to detect your presence, the curse will erupt directly within your bodies, and the same fate will occur even if you are very close to each other now."

"Then how do you extract a part of your own soul?" Hua Zhen asked.

"Ghost Grass," Fitia said. "It's a very rare material that grows alone in the underground labyrinth. It was popular in Farlans for a period of time more than ten years ago because alchemists discovered that it could cause a person's soul to temporarily leave their body. So many people tried to experience that floating feeling. But later it was found to be too dangerous, and the soul could not return and became a wandering ghost, so it was completely banned. Now you have to go to the underground labyrinth to find it yourselves."

"What about the magic part?" Tia asked. "We know professors at the magic academy, and they're pretty awesome, right? If we just get that Ghost Grass and ask them for help, everything should be fine, right?"

Fitia shook her head: "I'm afraid it won't work. Even at the magic academy in Farlans, almost no one can do magic that targets the soul. The one in the Great Library is an exception, but I'm afraid you can't get him to do it... However, I know someone who can do this. That's the person who helped me deceive the curse on this body."

"Who is it?" Hua Zhen and Tia asked in unison.

"He's a necromancer," Fitia said. "I think his name was... Okinjin something?"
