In the absolute darkness, Lin Sanjiu's eyes lost their function and she couldn't even see her own fingers. Unable to control her body's momentum, Lin Sanjiu's ribs suddenly collided with something hard. She gasped in pain, and the pain made her gasp.
She pressed down on the pain under her ribs and touched the thing. It was a smooth curved surface that looked like a handrail.
The endless darkness was like a curtain that blinded her eyes. She couldn't see anything. When Lin Sanjiu's heartbeat and breathing gradually calmed down, the air was filled with the smell of dust, tiny particles, and a faint moldy odor.
It was as if this space had been sealed for many years and no one had ever set foot in it. Even the air was stale and musty, and there was a faint, pungent smell in the air.
However, to Lin Sanjiu, this smell was like a gift from the heavens.
She exhaled heavily and sat down on the first step of the staircase. She sighed softly and said, "I'm out."
To be honest, even now, she still couldn't figure out what she had done right to be able to escape from the dungeon.
When the time was mercilessly reduced to 40 seconds, Lin Sanjiu really thought that she was going to die in this fairytale pocket dimension. She had too little time, and frankly speaking, even if she was given a week, she wasn't confident that she could solve the mystery.
There were three carriages coming from three different directions, and all of them were headed for the palace. If she could stop the three carriages from entering the palace, perhaps the problem would be solved. Emma would not enter the palace, and perhaps she would return home to look for her daughter. Bluebeard would not enter the palace, and perhaps he would not meet the Old Geezer Fairy. As for Cinderella, there was no need to even mention it.
Even though this was just her wishful thinking and there were countless other possibilities in the story, such as Emma going to another place to be a dancer, Old Geezer Fairy taking the initiative to look for Bluebeard, or Cinderella meeting the prince two days late, and so on. All of these could lead to the deaths of the protagonists. However, this was the best solution Lin Sanjiu could come up with.
Lin Sanjiu pushed off the roof of the pumpkin carriage. She could still feel the lingering sensation of flying through the air. With a few leaps, she was already one step ahead of the carriages toward the palace.
Her plan was to destroy the only way to the palace. Even though it was a big move, it was still "something". Lin Sanjiu activated her [Mosaic Censorship]. He leaped onto the tall statue of the king at the entrance of the palace, gathered strength in his hands, and plunged into the ground.
This is the place where the carriages meet outside the palace. The carriages that had not yet entered the palace were stopped outside.
"Destroying the road will cost 5 Movement Points. Are you sure? "
"Confirm!" Lin Sanjiu did not change her direction as she continued to charge downwards. In the next second, her fists were already wrapped with the force of a thousand catties. Before the line of words disappeared, it shattered the ground.
Lin Sanjiu wasn't sure if it had something to do with the Pocket Dimension, but it was much more powerful than she had expected. With Lin Sanjiu at the epicenter, countless broken bricks and stones exploded in all directions, leaving behind a deep crater on the ground. The surface of the earth was rapidly splitting apart, starting from the crater, forming a long and deep crack in the distance.
Lin Sanjiu squinted her eyes as she tried to see the approaching vehicle through the dense rain of gravel, dust, and smoke.
Just a glance. Her body turned cold.
Because outside of the dust and debris, it had somehow turned into a chilly afternoon.
It was no longer night time, and there were no more decorations from the ball. Cinderella's carriage and Blue Beard's carriage had disappeared.
Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at a rock the size of half a man. It smashed into a carriage and the frame of the carriage collapsed. A few women's screams could be heard from the broken carriage.
Among the carriages of the Song and Dance Troupe, this was not the only carriage that had suffered. Some of the carriages did not expect the sudden change and could not stop in time. Their carriages and horses rolled on the ground. For a moment, screams and neighs of the horses could be heard.
The countdown had ended long ago, but Lin Sanjiu was still in the Pocket Dimension. The road had indeed been destroyed. However, other than injuring the Song and Dance Troupe, it did not seem to have any effect. Lin Sanjiu felt a chill run down her spine. She did not move forward and fell to the ground.
Lin Sanjiu did not expect that the "teleportation" she had experienced previously would happen to Cinderella and Blue Beard.
She ran her fingers through her hair. She stared blankly at the direction of the Song and Dance Troupe. She did not have any strength left.
What would happen to her if she failed the Pocket Dimension?
"Ah, ah, be gentle! My leg, my leg — "A familiar sobbing voice reached Lin Sanjiu's ears. Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw a few soldiers from the palace working together to rescue people from the collapsed carriages.
It was young Emma who was crying softly as she was being helped out.
"Don't worry, it's just a fracture. You will recover after some rest …" A soldier, whose face was red, did not dare to look at Emma's face. He only lowered his head and comforted her softly.
"No, I still want to dance. I still want to dance …" Emma wiped her tears and sat by the roadside, sobbing.
Her leg had been hit by the rock. Blood seeped out of her dress and spread over a large area.
"Anyway, I'm going to die soon, and I even implicated Emma." Lin Sanjiu sighed softly. She couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
`You cannot dance like that... 'said the soldier, returning at leisure, and handing her a handkerchief. "Use this to wipe your face …"
Lin Sanjiu's vision was a little blurry.
She didn't know when, but a layer of tears welled up in her eyes. She wasn't willing to die like this —
However, before she could finish her thought, her body suddenly felt light, as if someone had lifted her up by her feet. Then, she was thrown into the air, and the world in front of her turned upside down and spun rapidly. Then, everything turned black.
The last thing she saw was a dusty stone tablet. Soon, she was plunged into darkness.
Lin Sanjiu's ribs knocked against the handrail. After a while, she finally realized that she was out of the room.
She was back in the black tower.
"But, why?" Emma was injured and couldn't dance. Based on this situation, the most they could do was save Red Riding Hood and Cinderella.
Lin Sanjiu stood rooted to the ground for a few seconds. The confusing and confusing fairytale pocket dimension gradually faded from her mind, and the cold reality returned to her consciousness.
"No matter what, it's good that I'm out. Who cares why!"
Lin Sanjiu had been delayed in the fairytale pocket dimension for a long time. She didn't know how much time had passed in the outside world. Perhaps, everyone was still fighting. The most important thing now was to find the energy hub and destroy the glass shield!
Lin Sanjiu felt her legs turn to jelly. She wiped the tears off her face and called out her [Ability Polishing Agent]. The silver light instantly spread around her like water.
The door she entered from was still intact and silent. Just as she had expected, the space inside the black tower was very small. From the looks of it, it was less than ten square meters. The staircase she was sitting on took up a lot of space. It meandered upwards, forming one spiral after another above her head.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know how many levels there were in the black tower, but it seemed that she could go all the way up.
"After clearing the pocket dimension on the first floor, there shouldn't be any danger on the second floor, right?" Holding the [Ability Polishing Agent], Lin Sanjiu cautiously walked up step by step.
In the quiet black tower, she could only hear her own footsteps and slow breathing.
The deathly silence lasted for too long. Because of that, Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat when the ear-piercing doorbell suddenly rang in the darkness. She thought she had heard it wrong.
However, at the gate, the bell continued to ring, shattering the silent air into pieces.
Lin Sanjiu aimed the light at the door. Her heart was pounding. She had already activated her [Mosaic Censorship].
The door opened with a rumbling sound, just like when she came in.
The moment the door opened, some light spilled in from the outside. Lin Sanjiu was relieved when she saw that it was still very dark outside. It seemed that it was still late at night.
The black figure who walked in from the door did not expect to be hit by the light the moment she entered. She paused for a moment before calling out, "… Sister Lin?"
Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief. She put down the polishing agent that she used as a lamp and laughed tiredly, "It's you."
