The headless girl Valisa.

Marvin suddenly had an impression of this name.

When he was playing games in his previous life, he often took time to visit game posters and forums. Once, he saw an anonymous ID posting a picture.

The picture shows an accessory with a very similar appearance to a Platycodon flower.

That accessory is a shimmer item, but the effect is amazing. Marvin still remembers its attributes:

【Valisa's Gift】

Quality: Glimmer

Effect: Fear resistance +10

Requirements: Help the headless girl fulfill her wish.

...

There is no doubt that this is a quest reward item.

The purpose of that guy showing off his equipment was probably to show off, but most people probably forgot it after watching it. Thanks to Ma Wen's memory, he can still recall the attributes of that thing.

Perhaps there are too few items in this world that can increase fear resistance. A few items are very difficult to get in Marvin's memory.

This gift from Valisa was originally clueless.

But now he suddenly figured it out. When the anonymous player posted the map, it happened to be a week after the copy of the Scarlet Monastery was opened.

That guy, maybe he was the first group of players to enter the Scarlet Monastery, and then triggered the headless girl's mission.

"Valisa...why can't I look at you?"

After thinking through the causes and consequences, Ma Wen couldn't help but become active.

He could feel that the girl seemed to have no malice.

"Because I am very scary now. Every normal human being will be cursed by fear after seeing me, and you may go crazy."

Valisa explained, “So, don’t turn around and see me?”

Marvin nodded.

The headless girl probably has something like [Strong Fear Technique] attached to it. Anyone who sees her true body will face a fear check.

Although Ma Wen thought that his soul was tough, if his body couldn't bear it, he would be finished if the check failed. It would be better if he didn't take risks.

"Why did you show up?" he tentatively said.

"My head was stolen by a despicable person. Can you help me find it back?" Valisa said quietly.

In the quiet room, the girl's voice seemed a little creepy.

Ma Wen looked down at the shadow on the ground.

Under the moonlight, a blurred outline appeared on the ground.

"Damn, I really don't have a head!"

Ma Wen cursed in his heart, it was really [headless girl].

He laughed dryly: "I am just an ordinary human, why do you think I can help you?"

"I can feel that your will is strong. And your martial arts are superb." Valisa whispered: "You can sneak and you can easily steal my head without being discovered by that despicable guy."

"I need more detailed information to decide whether to interfere in your business." Marvin spread his hands: "I don't want to lose my life."

...

Ten minutes later, a sneaky shadow returned to the ghost corridor.

He approached the last oil painting. The headless girl.

Under Valisa's plea, he weighed the pros and cons, but still accepted the task.

Items that can increase fear resistance are all accessible but not requested. In addition, this mission should not require any action, just stealing things, so he is still very experienced.

After he agreed to the headless girl's plea, there was an additional task in Marvin's taskbar.

Ma Wen has long understood the content of the task, and the reward is a series of question marks.

Such random tasks have always been a gambler for people's character, but fortunately, Marvin already knows what the task reward is.

He followed Valisa's instructions and gently pressed his hands on the oil painting.

“Relax, relax.”

Valisa's gentle voice came to his ears.

"Close your eyes."

"Now, take a step forward."

Ma Wen did as he did.

Cruff! A door was pushed open by him, and he walked forward with his eyes closed, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed from silence to hustle and bustle.

The birds chirped on the branches, and he seemed to have come to a forest.

The next second, Ma Wen opened his eyes and found that he was indeed in a small forest!

[You discovered the mysterious place - Bokening]

【Your knowledge - strange news + 5】

[Learning - strange news - Bokening World]: This is a twisted space composed of oil paintings, located between the continent of Fernan and the world of evil spirits. It seems to be similar to an ordinary farmhouse, but the evil evil spirit messenger Morris ruled every inch of land here. The patrol crow and the black knight are two major forces under his command. Here, all beautiful things are false.

[You have entered the world of oil painting - Bokening...]

The birds singing around are fragrant and look full of vitality.

Behind him was an old locust tree that was about to die. He remembered the appearance and location of the tree, which was the way he returned.

The soul of the headless girl cannot enter the oil painting world with him. Next, he must act alone.

His target was a castle on a hill in Bokening. This castle belonged to the local lord, the old man named Morris, who is said to be an evil envoy on the lower plane, specializing in the souls of people and sealing them in his own oil painting world.

You must be careful when acting in such a place. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may stay in this terrifying oil painting world forever.

Valisa's head was hidden in Morris's bedroom in the castle, and Marvin had to sneak in, steal his head, and hand it over to Valisa herself.

In this way, Valisa's soul can be liberated and Marvin's mission is completed.

"If it were a high-level evil spirit messenger, it would not be impossible for even the soul of a girl with strong willpower to subdue."

"That Morris is probably an ordinary evil envoy. He should be a second-level magician or something."

"It's a pity that the concentration of holy water sold by the Silver God Church is too low. If you can get Holy Water No. 13, you might have a chance to kill Morris."

The evil spirit messengers are different from the corpse thieves. Although their professions may be both magicians, their races are different. The evil spirits in the lower plane are very evil and have strong vitality. They are not humans like the corpse thieves, and they have the vital danger of death.

...

Ma Wen tiptoed out of the forest and came to a hill.

Looking from the hills, there are fields in the distance, and large areas of wheat are growing vigorously, and some figures are appearing in the wheat fields.

That was the farmer who was farming.

This is a real world.

"It's really amazing..." Ma Wen was amazed.

At the end of the wheat field is a small hill, and there is a castle on it. Marvin traveled through the wheat field without alarming anyone.

His stealth skills are perfect, and although limited by his skill level, they still have outstanding results.

Soon, he came to the castle.

Outside the castle, there is only a single-plank bridge. The other three directions are cliffs.

On the other end of the single-plank bridge, there is a small team of guards guarding it.

“It’s a bit tricky.”

Marvin didn't dare to sneak in under the noses of these guards, that was undoubtedly a search for death.

Stealing is not invisible. Besides, it is broad daylight now, and the effect of stealth will be very weak.

It seems that I can only wait until evening before starting.

He found a hidden place to rest.

...

In the evening, a ox cart set out from a farm at the foot of the mountain and slowly headed towards the castle.

Marvin, who was hiding in the dark, lit his eyes.

"Well? Are vegetables and fruits on the ox cart? And potatoes?"

"That farmer is going to enter the castle!"

"There's a way!"
