To be honest, no matter how strange this pocket dimension was, this was Lin Sanjiu's first time witnessing "magic" from a fairy tale.
Lila's scream was still echoing in her head. She was the second main character in danger. Lin Sanjiu tried her best to compose herself. Even though she didn't know if it would work, she stood still in the shadows. She tried to slow down her breathing and heartbeat, hoping that the other party wouldn't notice her.
The soldier guarding Cinderella's room had already fainted. He was now lying on the ground, motionless. Lin Sanjiu peeked through the slit of the door. Between Cinderella and Lin Sanjiu, there was a figure shrouded in a halo floating in the air.
The man was wearing a gray robe, his hunchback bulging like a tortoise shell. His dry and messy hair was clumped together and hung down from his back. The wrinkled skin under the robe wasn't any better than his hair. The Fairy's unique transparent wings looked like the limbs of a dead fly.
Even though he had all the characteristics of a fairy, Lin Sanjiu didn't think that a fairy godmother in a fairy tale should look like this.
As the figure blocked her view, she couldn't see Cinderella's expression. Lila's image was like a drowning person. It floated up and down in Lin Sanjiu's mind. Finally, Lin Sanjiu pushed it away. She listened intently to Cinderella's every word. "I know, but the person who brought me to the palace isn't the prince …"
"Oh, my dear, don't worry unnecessarily," the figure spoke. Lin Sanjiu jumped in fright. That was an old man's voice. It was hoarse and sounded old, but there was a hint of greasiness in it. "The deal we made was for you to be with the prince. You have paid the price. This goal will not change …"
At this point, the old man seemed to have thought of something interesting. He seemed to have thought of something funny and giggled like a girl.
These words obviously couldn't comfort Cinderella. Her voice was filled with uneasiness. "That … I can trust you, right?"
The old man raised one of his hands and picked at his long gray nails. He replied, "Of course. Your request is to get rid of your past life and be with the prince … Don't worry, I never go back on my words. Although there are some twists and turns, it will soon be realized. "
"Thank you, thank you!" Hearing such a clear promise, Cinderella was finally relieved and let out a sigh of relief. "It's so weird now. It scared me … Oh, yes, did you come to the palace to look for me?"
The old man chuckled again. "… There was a poor young man who wanted to be rich but couldn't get it. I'm here to make a deal. "
"Is he from the palace?"
As Lin Sanjiu listened to Cinderella's question, she quietly took a step back.
She could say that she judged people by their appearance, but she was full of distrust towards this old man fairy. Why did the butler and the other person kidnap Cinderella? Wouldn't it be easier to just ask them?
Her movements, though silent, were silent. In just a few moments, Lin Sanjiu had already turned the corner and was quite a distance away from the room.
Because of this, when the old man fairy's voice reached her ears, it sounded a little vague, "Oh, no, my dear. Because of his … strange color. He was a circus entertainer. He was in a worse state than you … "
Lin Sanjiu stopped.
'What strange color?'
A vague idea popped up in her mind, and it was confirmed by Cinderella's surprised voice, "Huh? There are people in this world with such a strange color? "
'Blue Beard! That can't be wrong! '
Lin Sanjiu heard the old man's voice mumbling something like "Wife." Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt a lot more enlightened. She finally understood a little about this fairytale pocket dimension. Blue Beard must have made a deal with this old man fairy in Cinderella's palace and became a millionaire. That was how he married Lila and the others...
He must have killed Lila and presented her mirror to the king. In this "Cinderella story line," this would only happen in the future.
If she could find Blue Beard and kill him first, she could save Lila in the future!
With a plan in mind, Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief.
The conversation in the room was still going on. Just then, a flickering light came from not far away. She quickly picked up the unconscious soldier and retreated to a corner. Two maids walked past her one after another. Two maids walked past her one after the other, one holding a plate in her hand, the other a lamp.
When their footsteps reached the door, Cinderella's room suddenly became quiet. After a few seconds, she asked anxiously, "Who, who is outside?"
"I am here to deliver dinner to Miss Ella under the orders of the butler," one of the maids said respectfully.
Ella was Cinderella's original name. In order to humiliate her, her two sisters changed her name to Cinderella, which meant "Cinderella". When Cinderella heard this name that she had not heard for a long time, she couldn't contain her excitement. Her voice suddenly became a little choked. She sniffled twice before replying, "Okay, thank you."
When they pushed the door open, Lin Sanjiu looked into the room. As expected, Cinderella was the only one left in the room.
If she went to look for Blue Beard now, she might bump into Old Man Fairy. Even though her combat power had increased by leaps and bounds, she didn't want to face magic recklessly. It would be too late for regrets if she was turned into a rat or something. After thinking for a while, she decided to target the Majordomo of the Royal Palace.
Even though the palace wasn't big, it wasn't an easy task to search floor by floor and room by room.
Strangely enough, the main rooms and palaces of the palace were decorated with large black curtains. Apart from providing Lin Sanjiu with many places to hide, it also made the atmosphere of the palace a bit gloomy.
Following the black curtain, Lin Sanjiu arrived at the entrance of a side hall.
Lin Sanjiu heard a solemn voice once in Cinderella's house. She could vaguely hear it coming from the gap between the two doors. It should be the butler, but Lin Sanjiu couldn't hear what he was saying. Lin Sanjiu knocked out the guard at the door. She walked quietly to the door and pushed the black curtains aside. Then, she pressed her ear against the door.
"Your Highness, please accept my condolences." The butler's voice sounded very gloomy. It seemed that the person who was speaking was also immersed in grief and was trying his best to maintain his composure, "Now that the eldest prince has passed away, the future of the country depends on you …"
"My brother … his death was not worth it!" A young man's voice cut through the air like a knife. There was something so extreme in his voice that people who heard it couldn't help but want to step back. That was the only thing he said. The butler comforted him softly, as if he couldn't continue speaking.
Lin Sanjiu waited patiently for a while. Prince Sid pulled himself together and spoke again, "Is the coffin ready?"
"It's almost done. I didn't expect the girl to be so small and skinny. The mold seemed to be too big, so I modified the coffin … "
"You are too serious! It doesn't matter if it's big or small — "
Prince Sid's eyes were red. Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud bang. Before he could react, he heard a loud bang. Before he could react, his body was knocked down by the force of the impact. His neck was tightly gripped, and even his scream was stuck in his chest.
After a few seconds, the butler finally understood the situation. He took a few steps back in a panic and pulled out the sword that the prince hung on the wall. Before he could scream, the strange woman who was pressing on the prince said calmly, "Don't scream! If you make a sound, I will strangle him. "
The butler nodded blankly.
"Just now, you said that you wanted to prepare a coffin for a skinny woman. Who is it? Is she dead? "
Lin Sanjiu used all her strength to stop Prince Sid from struggling. He was a young man with a high forehead and thin hair. Half of his face was bulging with blue veins. From his expression, it seemed like he would rather die than let the woman on top of him have her way.
The butler was so frightened that he said, "Be gentler." Then, he gripped his sword tightly and said, "A coffin. It's prepared for Cinderella! "
Even though Lin Sanjiu had more or less guessed it, she was still so shocked that her expression changed.
"That woman is the sinner of this country!" The butler seemed to have thought of something. He seemed to have forgotten about the red-faced Prince Sid. Tears rolled down his cheeks, "Ever since Prince Peter, who was about to inherit the throne, met her, he had been thinking about her day and night. He had been thinking about her day and night … He had even personally set out on a journey to find a girl who could wear the shoe that she had left behind. In the end, in the end, he met with an accident … "
Lin Sanjiu was stunned when she heard that. She loosened her grip a little. When the air entered Sid's windpipe, he said in a hoarse voice, "My brother wanted to find her as soon as possible. He traveled on a rainy night and was bitten to death by a wild beast!"
"No matter what, I want that woman to die with me!" Sid's red face turned green. His eyes bulged out due to the lack of oxygen. He looked like he had gone insane.
"Rainy night … wild beast …"
"Tell me the details —" Lin Sanjiu's expression was grim. She tightened her grip. Sid let out a short cry, and the butler quickly said, "Prince Peter saw an injured man on the roadside. When he went to help him, he was attacked! Beside him, there was a hunter with a broken stomach — "
"That's right."
Lin Sanjiu finally connected the three stories. Lin Sanjiu thought about it carefully. If that was the case, Red Riding Hood's story happened first, then Cinderella's, and finally Lila's...
"This is a big improvement." Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath. Just when she was about to withdraw her hand, her gaze suddenly froze on a familiar piece of furniture.
"Second question, that silver mirror … Who brought it here?"
Lin Sanjiu asked dryly.
That's right, it was Lila's mirror. (The novel "Apocalyptic Paradise" will have more new content on the official WeChat platform. At the same time, there will be a 100% chance of a lucky draw!
