At this time, Blue Beard was about seven or eight years old. His unattractive little face was still clean, without a single strand of stubble. However, if one looked closely, one would find that the roots of his hair were faintly blue.
After canceling the plan, Blue Beard stumbled and fell. "I didn't hit you, right …?" Lin Sanjiu muttered to herself. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the words on the slate gradually disappear into the veins.
The gloomy Blue Beard crawled up from the ground without making a sound. He rolled his eyes and walked into an alley. Lin Sanjiu followed him instinctively. As she walked, she observed her surroundings.
Ever since she saw Blue Beard, the building behind her was like an ink painting that had been soaked in water. It gradually blurred and disappeared into the air. After the wind blew past, a small village was revealed under a cloudy sky.
Compared to the previous town, this village was much poorer and dilapidated. There was not a single person in sight for a long time.
However, Blue Beard, who was born and raised here, was like a fish in water. He did not seem to notice the changes in his surroundings. He walked quickly on the dirt road, stirring up a lot of sand and dust.
If he killed him here, Lilah wouldn't have to die later —
The thought suddenly appeared in Lin Sanjiu's mind, and she whispered in her ear in a seductive voice.
Thinking about it carefully, Blue Beard's story was indeed more unique than the other two … At the very least, up until now, he was the only person who existed in the past and future at the same time in the same location. Moreover, there seemed to be some inexplicable connection between him and Cinderella's story … Killing him might turn things around.
However, after thinking for a long time, Lin Sanjiu still could not find any connection between him and Red Riding Hood. In the end, she did not make a move.
She followed behind Blue Beard and watched for a while. When she estimated that almost ten minutes had passed, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Blue Beard's father was a drunkard, and his mother was violent, and neither cared for their ugly child. He watched for a while. However, even after a long time, Lin Sanjiu still had no idea what she should do. She had no idea what she should do next. "What are you going to do?
But time waits for no one. The setting sun in the sky was like an egg yolk that had been soaked in water. He had not paid attention for a while, but he had already sunk into the distant mountains.
Judging from the time, it had been at least twenty minutes since he saw the stone tablet. Blue Beard muttered something quickly in a low voice, but he just sat quietly by the river. Not even his eyeballs moved. If not for the fact that he was still breathing, it was as if he was dead.
"So, he has been so weird since he was young …" Lin Sanjiu mumbled to herself. She really couldn't wait any longer. But when he looked up, the surrounding scenery was extremely unfamiliar. Even if he wanted to leave, he didn't know where to go.
Just when she was in a dilemma, she suddenly heard the sound of water splashing in the river, and a wet head floated up from the bottom of the water.
"… You're the one who's looking for me?" The head wiped the water off his face and flung his gray hair back. It revealed a long, wrinkled, and wrinkled face.
Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at the Old Geezer Fairy. She unconsciously held her breath, afraid that she would miss a word.
It seemed that Blue Beard did not expect that the incantation to summon the fairy he found by accident would actually work. After he stammered out his wish, the Old Geezer Fairy chuckled. He did not reply, but his eyes darted behind Blue Beard.
Lin Sanjiu did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt that his gaze had swept past her body.
"If you want a fortune, I can certainly make a deal with you, my dear," the Old Geezer Fairy said in a sticky and hoarse voice, "But it is still too early. When you're 25 years old, I'll naturally look for you … "
Blue Beard panicked and wanted to say something. However, the Old Geezer Fairy raised his hand to stop him. "Eighteen years is much faster than you think … Alright, I still have to go to a poor girl's house to make a deal with her. Oh, it's so sad to lose your mother … "
"Cinderella?"
This name immediately popped into Lin Sanjiu's mind. "But, the timing doesn't seem to match?"
If Emma and Blue Beard's ages could still match, Cinderella was only ten years older than Little Red Riding Hood. How could she be born and grown up at this age?
Could it be someone else?
Lin Sanjiu had never thought that she was an intelligent person. Right now, her brain had already turned to mush. She watched as the Old Geezer floated up from the river. He shook the water off his wings and flew away. Lin Sanjiu did not have much time to think and immediately followed him.
The feeling of chasing after a "fairy" was indeed very strange.
No matter how fast Lin Sanjiu was, she would still lose him from time to time. The hunched back of the Old Geezer Fairy would suddenly disappear in the air. Before Lin Sanjiu could react, the Old Geezer Fairy would appear in another direction. If it wasn't for the fact that the light from the Old Geezer Fairy was rather eye-catching, Lin Sanjiu would have lost her way long ago.
Fortunately, after running for a short while, the Old Geezer Fairy suddenly plunged into the backyard of a house. Lin Sanjiu did not need to look. She only needed one glance to confirm that this was Cinderella's house.
Cinderella, who had thin shoulders, was squatting on the ground. She was hugging her arms and sobbing softly. She looked the same as the last time she saw her. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old and had a head of blonde hair.
Lin Sanjiu was overwhelmed by shock and confusion. She really couldn't figure it out. Was the timeline of this Pocket Dimension messed up? If that was the case, how was she supposed to find the "one thing" that she should do?
She stared blankly at the two people in the backyard. Even though her eyes did not move, her mind was in a mess. Lin Sanjiu's attention was snapped back to reality when Cinderella suddenly raised her voice, "I don't understand what you mean. What is the price that I have to pay?"
The Old Geezer Fairy clenched his teeth as if he had a headache, "Aiyaya … As long as you agree to let me dig a few holes on … Hmm, just think of it as the surface of the road. Come, come, sign your name here. If you agree to my terms, I can send you to the ball immediately … "
"Dig holes?" Lin Sanjiu had one more question in her mind. She looked at Cinderella, half anxious and half numb.
Cinderella bit her pen hesitantly. She looked at the one-meter-long parchment and immediately gave up the idea of reading it. When she heard the word "ball", she gritted her teeth and quickly wrote her name on the spot where the Old Geezer Fairy was pointing. The Old Geezer Fairy laughed heartily. With a flick of his wrist, the parchment turned into countless light spots and flew into his bracelet.
"That parchment is a Special Item!"
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She was all too familiar with this scene. Even though she did not know what magic was, she had dealt with many Special Items. Those light spots were definitely Special Items!
"Hahaha, good job, my dear!" The Old Geezer Fairy laughed heartily as he waved his wand generously. There was a flash of golden light, and Cinderella's hair was suddenly coiled into a bun by sparkling gemstones. A necklace hung down from her glitterforged dress, and the hem of her dress drew a beautiful arc in the air.
If she launched a sneak attack now, not only could she get the parchment, she could also stop Cinderella from going to the ball. As long as she didn't go to the ball, even if the prince died a thousand times, the royal family would not come after her...
However, it was impossible to save three people at the same time.
The pumpkin carriage rumbled out of the backyard. Lin Sanjiu leaped and landed lightly on the roof of the carriage. While she was hesitating, the Old Geezer Fairy had already disappeared. Only Cinderella and a coachman were left in the carriage.
The night breeze blew Lin Sanjiu's hair behind her ears. She sat on the roof of the carriage in a daze. She had no idea how much time had passed.
The ball being held in the palace was a big event. From all over the country, countless luxurious carriages and horses were converging on the palace. Cinderella lifted the curtain and looked outside. She raised her voice and asked the coachman, "What carriages are those? They seem different from the others. "
Lin Sanjiu looked up and realized that she recognized those carriages.
"That is the King's Song and Dance Troupe... Miss Cinderella," the coachman replied respectfully. "Not only the Song and Dance Troupe. Do you see those carriages over there? That is the best circus troupe in the country. They are also rushing to the palace! "
Lin Sanjiu was startled. She looked up and saw a group of brightly colored carriages with exaggerated designs not far away. One of the carriages even had a sign that read: "Extraordinary person with blue hair! Incredible magic! " - the sign, shaped like a splash of cream, grew smaller and smaller in the darkness of the night as the carriage drove away, and gradually became indistinguishable.
Lin Sanjiu felt that her brain was like an old computer that had run too many programs. Finally, it crashed and couldn't run anymore.
"What should I do next?"
Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly. At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something flashing in the corner of her vision.
She looked down and saw a line of words on the roof of the carriage.
"Countdown: 0: 59 seconds to the 30-minute time limit."
She had to do something that could save three people in 59 seconds. (To be continued.)
