"My poor Snow White, where did she go-"
An exaggerated aria from a mature female voice sounded outside the door, and then her tone dropped, and the coldness and meanness she had suppressed suddenly emerged, "Now I want to go back to my room and take a nap, and no one is allowed to disturb me."
Just by hearing the sound, you can hear the dramatic changes in her expression, and you can also tell that this is the queen in this palace.
Snow White's evil stepmother.
Behind the indoor curtain, Simmons, who had just told Abe that "the queen was bitten to death by a wolf", blinked innocently, wondering if he had been with Abe for a long time, and he still had a bit of her spirit.
Before Abe could continue to ask him, he turned around and hid himself in the closet.
Simmons also "returned" to the depths of the mirror.
The door creaked and the queen returned to her bedroom.
But instead of taking a nap like she said she would, she walked behind the curtain. She held up her skirt and turned around gracefully in front of the mirror, admiring her beauty from all angles. Finally, she caressed her face and asked happily: "Mirror, mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful in the world?" woman?"
"Ahem..." Simmons played his role seriously, "Snow White is the most beautiful woman in the world."
The queen's beautiful face froze and she asked gloomily, "Isn't she dead?!"
"How could it be? She lives in the home of the Seven Dwarfs in the forest."
The dwarf's mushroom house appeared in the transparent mirror, and even the location was clearly marked. The most beautiful Snow White is drying her clothes outdoors and humming happily.
"Ah ha, this cunning little thing." The queen's long nails pierced the mirror and landed on Snow White's face. "Did the hunter betray me, or did she escape on her own? It seems that I will take action myself this time. ”
"Let me think about it, Bai Xue always has her hair disheveled, I want to make a poisonous... no, beautiful ribbon for her."
She opened the closet but couldn't find the right ribbon material, but she found a bottle of beautiful lifelike dolls in her closet. It was sitting in the corner of the closet, its limbs drooping limply. It was wearing a gorgeous multi-layered skirt, a shell hair ornament, and seaweed-like long hair. It looked at her with its eyes open without blinking.
"Who gave it to me?"
The queen thought strangely, "Fortunately it's just a doll, otherwise there would be one more person in the world that she wants to kill."
There were so many strange things in her room that even she often forgot about them, so they were not strange.
She went into her nap with the thought of "the death of her stepdaughter" and decided to wait until she woke up to implement her little plan. After she woke up and left the room, Abe stood in front of Simmons again.
"It was a little scary just now." When Simmons saw the queen opening the wardrobe, he almost wanted to call her back. Fortunately, he didn't act rashly, otherwise the queen might have noticed something. He gave a thumbs up in the mirror, "Boss, you are still awesome."
She was able to keep her eyes open for such a long time, not even the arc of her smile changed at all, and even when the queen looked at her, there was no breath of life. It’s really not something ordinary people can do.
Abe didn't say anything more to him, "You said she was dead."
"Yes, she did die once." Simmons said solemnly. "On about the sixth round, someone let a wolf bite her to death. I thought the game was over. The weird thing is that the game is still going on. And by the seventh round, she was automatically resurrected." Since the rule is "Kill the villain to clear the level," Simmons is also confused as to why the game continues when the villain is dead.
But Abe's concerns were entirely different.
Round seven.
Since the setting of "infinite reincarnation of the story" has appeared many times in previous games, Simmons did not pay special attention to it.
But this is obviously very different from the "Mermaid" fairy tale in which Abe belongs.
Abe even speculated that this was the biggest problem in the game.
She immediately asked: "Which round is it now?"
"In the sixth round, I was locked in the mirror and couldn't move. I had been asleep for a long time and almost forgot to count." He complained, then paused, "Aren't you guys?"
"The fairy tale I'm in is only halfway through, in the first or second turn."
"What's going on?" Simmons said in surprise, "Isn't this too different?!"
"Because the flow of time is different." Abe said slowly while thinking, "You said that the wolf killed the queen, but the game was not cleared. Maybe the villain mentioned in the rules is the villain of all stories, so it will Let's work together to pass the game. We need to gather all the story information and kill all the villains in the same turn to pass the game."
"The flow of time is different, but the villain needs to be killed in the same round. This should be the problem in this game."
"..." Simmons, who boasts that he has seen great storms, also wanted to call the program crew "perverted" at this time, and even wanted to question the game company, "Are you really going to give these games to children? Is it appropriate?!"
He thought for a while and said: "There are also tools that can kill the villain. What happened to the wolf needs to be found out."
"Well..." Abe suddenly looked at him, "Can you open the positioning point?"
Simmons: "Huh?"
Abe found that the queen could use him to locate the dwarves' residence, so she asked him to try to locate the big forest on the map in the mirror. It wasn't that easy, and most of the time he couldn't find the forest that Abe was talking about. But just like the moment that Abe was waiting for when he passed the boundary, the magic mirror also suddenly connected to another story at a certain moment, and the mirror surface showed the appearance of the forest that Abe passed through.
Just for a moment, a wolf walking upright appeared on the screen.
Simmons was stunned: "...This wolf seems to be the wolf I have seen."
"like?"
"It looks similar, but the wolf should be walking on all fours, right? When it bit the queen to death, it was just like a normal wolf. It wasn't as... so..." He tried hard to express his words, "So humane?"
Abe thought: "Perhaps it is separated from the story background in which it is located, and it has to operate according to the rules of this story. With this picture, do you have any ideas for the third story?"
Simmons shook his head with a headache, and his attitude was very resistant: "Spare me, I didn't like to listen to fairy tales when I was a child." Little boys usually prefer to play with lightsabers, mechas, and play combat games with plot&chess. Even with the story of "Snow White", he was confused at first, and it took him a few rounds to slowly get the hang of the identity of "Magic Mirror".
Abe never heard fairy tales when she was a child, but when she went through other competitions, she absorbed information from those worlds like a sponge.
At this time, she had a guess.
A world of humanized animals, a fairy tale with wolves as the main characters.
Maybe, it's the story of "Little Red Riding Hood".
Although time flows quickly in "Snow White", she can stay here for a while and then return to "The Mermaid". But if Abe wants to return to her own story, she has to pass through a forest that is suspected to be "Little Red Riding Hood". She cannot determine the speed of time in that world, so she cannot stay here for long.
Anyway, she has already gotten many clues from "resident guest" Simmons, and there will be no more progress at the moment.
And she was very curious about the person who brought the wolf into this palace. Who could it be
Why would you want a wolf to bite the queen to death
Simmons was so sad about her departure that she burst into tears.
"Boss, are you going to leave me alone, boss?"
Is it because he complained that he was too tired in the last dungeon, so this dungeon gave him a long vacation? If he doesn't go out, hair will grow all over his body!
In response to his strong accusation, Abe only blinked and said with the same innocent eyes: "But you can't get out."
The implication is that he can't help her.
Simmons: "..." The boss is really ruthless.
In fact, Simmons can be carried around as a hand mirror, but every time it is refreshed, he will surely return to the queen's dressing table.
Besides, he may have other uses in this copy.
Abe returned to the forest.
The line between "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Snow White" seems to be very thin, and she doesn't have to wait long to return to a familiar place.
I don't know why, maybe it has something to do with the setting of the time flow rate. For the first time, Abe felt that there was not enough time.
No matter what plans and arrangements you have, they must be implemented as soon as possible.
She recalled the place where she last heard the sound of a hunting rifle, identified the route based on the intensity and direction of the sound, and walked towards that location. And on the road, she saw a little white rabbit.
Her gray eyes flashed slightly.
This is the rabbit cooked by Ultra, wearing a familiar little red flower on its head.
It seemed to have forgotten the torture it had received before, and jumped up to Abby and sniffed her shoes.
The world of "Little Red Riding Hood" has also been reset.
Abe squatted down and touched its fur, "Can you speak?"
If it were that story, the little animals would naturally be able to talk.
The rabbit's eyes flickered as he watched her open her three-petal mouth: "Of course I will."
"Great, then do you know where Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother's home is?" She made a surprise look, "I have something to talk to my grandmother about."
"Oh Little Red Riding Hood, it turns out you are Little Red Riding Hood's friend."
Hearing the familiar name, Little Rabbit immediately felt relieved, "I know it so well, come with me."
Abe found her grandmother's house smoothly.
She saw Prince Ultra fighting with a man dressed as a hunter. Both of them have good skills, Ultra is better, but the hunter is very fast, as if he has used the speed-enhancing props in the game, whether he attacks or retreats, he is like a silver lightning.
And the big bad wolf she had seen in the magic mirror was now shivering in the corner.
Her presence disturbed the balance.
Both of them noticed the presence of others at the first moment.
Otto caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye and relaxed unconsciously, "Why are you so slow?"
And that lightning-like figure caught his flaw at this moment and attacked him!
Abe threw the rabbit in his arms, and the rabbit jumped past the opponent's eyes, blocking his sight. In just a short moment, the man moved slowly and was dodged by Ultra in time.
The frightened little rabbit squatted angrily in the grass opposite, staring at Abe with red eyes, "Why did you throw me out!"
"I was scared." Abe touched his heart and said fearfully, "Fighting is too scary."
Little Rabbit said: "Well, I misunderstood you..."
The hunter seemed to realize who she was and suddenly stopped his attack.
