In the palace of "Snow White" -
Simmons sleeps boredly in the depths of the mirror. But every once in a while, he would use the mirror to check out the forest in "Little Red Riding Hood". This was a task given to him by Abe before he left. After many trials, he gradually mastered the time rules of "connection" and was almost able to work at the right time.
This time, as always, he made the mirror look like a big bad wolf.
Different from before, this time the big bad wolf, who was tied up, had a sign hanging on his body with a paragraph written on it. Even if it was only for a moment, it was enough for Simmons to understand that passage clearly.
he mused.
When the queen came again to ask "who is the most beautiful woman in the world", he answered Snow White's name. The queen, who had killed Snow White twice with ribbons and combs, was furious and asked him about Snow White's name. residence.
"Let me take a look..."
Simmons behaved like a mastermind and deceived the Queen for a long time before finally revealing Snow White's residence to the Queen. He said: "The place where the cunning Snow White went this time was very secluded. There was a thick fog there and it was only possible to enter at a certain time."
The queen was convinced.
If her stepdaughter wasn't cunning, how could she have escaped her poisonous attacks so many times
This time, she will make a poisonous apple to kill her completely!
The queen did not realize that the place shown on the magic mirror was not within the scope of her country. It was not the forest of dwarves, but the lush forest of Little Red Riding Hood.
At this moment, Abe and Ott have returned to the fairy tale "Mermaid".
They happened to catch up with the plot point. The king engaged the prince to the princess of a neighboring country. Next it is time for the prince to prepare for the wedding with the princess of a neighboring country.
"How are you going to get the dagger?" Otto asked.
Abe has replaced the fish tail with legs and cannot return to the underwater world. If we strictly follow the content of the fairy tale, the dagger was exchanged by the five sisters of the Little Mermaid for their beautiful hair. Now, as the fifth princess, Abe has left the palace. I don’t know if the dagger will still be there in the absence of one person. Can it be replaced
"Wait until they are handed over to me." Abe replied.
She found the Little Mermaid still on the shore. Not only was the other party unable to return to the palace, but she was also unable to follow the prince. In addition, there was no reward map to guide her, so she kept wandering around this area. Of course, during this period she also explored the palaces of the prince and the princess of neighboring countries, but found nothing and returned here again.
She was feebly playing with the sand castle when Abe stood in front of her. She raised her head and glanced at Abe, "What are you doing, showing off?" Her voice was much hoarse than the first time, as if her throat had been scratched with a knife.
But she actually got her voice back, which shows that the players here all have their own abilities.
"Are you coming to the prince's wedding dinner?"
"What the hell -" she couldn't help but reacted instantly, "What are you going to do? Have you found a way to kill the villain, do you need to use my identity?" She naturally realized that the other party would not Inviting myself for no reason, I immediately felt like my chance had come.
"Actually, it's not really necessary." Abe thought for a moment and said, "I have always been the one to develop a relationship with the prince. If they want to rescue a mermaid who can kill the prince, it should be me."
"..." What his grandfather said really makes sense.
The Little Mermaid changed her previous gentle image and glared at her rudely, saying: "Anyway, before I came out, they had already planned to kill the witch with daggers. Fight fire with fire. Neither I nor you may be able to kill the witch with daggers." arrive."
But Abe said softly: "I will get it."
Once they find that witches cannot be killed with daggers, these people have only one option left - to follow the plot. Without knowing anything, they can only try to get more information from the plot.
She called the Little Mermaid just in case.
If the plot must be in the hands of the Little Mermaid, then she can also let the other party hold the dagger briefly.
The prince's wedding banquet kicked off among this group of people with ulterior motives. The church bells rang, bringing the good news of the engagement while riding horses through the streets. In the evening, amid the salute of gunfire, the newlyweds stepped onto the ship with the flags fluttering and slowly sailed into the sea.
At this moment, the players who originally wanted to hide their identities were unable to hide their identities. It could be seen from everyone's expressions whether they were really blessing and celebrating the prince, or they were just trying to do something.
In the quiet night, four frustrated mermaids swam to the surface of the water.
Abby and the Little Mermaid were waiting for them at the side of the boat. The Little Mermaid couldn't help but laugh when she saw their expressions: "I just said it's useless!"
The other mermaids rolled their eyes at her, "They are all bald, who is laughing at who?"
The Little Mermaid: "..."
I don't know why, but after communicating with Abe, she suddenly felt that she needed to play a role, so she exchanged her hair for the dagger.
God knows she is the little mermaid!
The heroine of this story!
The mermaid sisters shook their heads, "Her weapons can't kill her."
"She also laughed at us and said, 'This is a weapon made to stab a prince to death. How can it hurt a powerful witch?'" one of them said in a high-pitched voice, imitating the witch.
The third person simply threw the dagger on the board of the ship, "I heard you want to use it? I'll give it to you."
"It's not me, it's her."
"Well, I want to use it." Abe stood up with the dagger.
"It's up to you. It seems that we didn't understand it in the first round anyway. Let's try another method in the second round." This was the reason why they were so happy to give the dagger.
Although no one wants to cooperate, those who remain today are all smart people. They know how to give others a way out at the right time, so that they can survive.
This is also caused by the special rules of this dungeon. When the dungeon comes out, they will still fight to the death.
The Little Mermaid also urged her: "Whatever you want to do, hurry up, it will be dawn soon."
"Hey, what is this..." The mermaid in the water looked up and saw the bubbles that suddenly appeared in the air, and shouted in surprise.
The little mermaid followed her line of sight and saw a crystal clear bubble very close to her, and it was about to touch her forehead the next moment.
At this moment, she was pulled aside.
"It's not over yet, right? Why are there bubbles?"
"That's not right. The Little Mermaid is transformed into foam in the sea, not a bubble."
As they watched, the bubbles were blown by the wind, suddenly blew a distance, and shattered with a "snap" on a crew member who had gotten up at night. He was rubbing his eyes, but suddenly his skin seemed to be corroded. Starting from the point where the foam came into contact with the skin, his skin quickly turned black. A shrill cry suddenly came from his mouth!
A short scream broke through the dark night, but only for a short moment, he completely disappeared.
Those who witnessed this moment shuddered.
"What happened?"
"Does this damn game have a time limit?!"
"Wait, isn't this round over?"
The little beauty hugged Abe and shivered. It was Abe who had just pulled her to the other side, otherwise she would have been corroded by the bubbles!
She now feels that being bald is not a big deal.
Abe is still observing whether there are other bubbles in the night sky.
Otto appeared quietly outside the gorgeous tent set up on the boat and glanced in Abe's direction. Abe seemed to be aware of it and turned around to look at him. With just one glance, he had received the message and went to the cab to urge the captain to speed up.
This ship belongs to the prince's country. They are planning to take the princess of the neighboring country to the country where the prince is. However, the boundary between "Mermaid" and "Little Red Riding Hood" is closer to the country of the neighboring princess, so the ship is not far away. Later, Otto asked him to return.
For the mermaids in the center of the seabed, with the palace as the center, the sea surface is an arc. No matter where they go, the time spent is not far different, so they found the ship in time and sent the dagger.
Now speeding up, they reached the boundary in even faster time.
During the second half of the journey, the bubble appeared again, killing a player. Except for the contestants, no one who originally belonged to the fairy tale seemed to hear or see anything unusual. The crew member who pretended to be up at night was probably one of the contestants.
Copies are killing players.
This is a silent urging to them.
In the footage that Abe and the others cannot see, the audience can clearly see from the switching pictures that bubbles are popping up one after another from the monster's thick gastric juice, proceeding at a very slow speed.
"There is at most one chance left."
As they moved forward, Otto said to Abe, "I guess the next round is the last chance to clear the level."
The audience couldn't help but be surprised at Ott's sensitivity.
Although the appearance of bubbles is still very slow now, the speed is accelerating invisibly. Indeed, as he said, the next round may be their last chance.
"Don't you believe we can get the job done this round?" Abe asked.
Otto laughed loudly and turned to look at her: "Do you believe it?"
This round was originally just an experiment, and they already had a tacit understanding in their hearts.
As soon as possible, they reached the cabin as quickly as possible, but just as they thought, the customs clearance failed.
The queen came to Little Red Riding Hood's Forest as she wished and knocked on the door of the cabin, but was bitten to death by the big bad wolf. Little Red Riding Hood picked up the poison apple that rolled to the ground through her gloves and put it into the mushroom basket. The big bad wolf was also tied up by them and could be killed when Abe and the others brought the dagger.
While waiting, Little Red Riding Hood's story time came to the last frame in their anxious waiting.
Time resets again.
The originally dead queen suddenly came back to life.
The big bad wolf did bite her to death, but once the big bad wolf became the new big bad wolf, the wounds that should have been there no longer existed. She looked around blankly, and when she saw that Snow White could not be found, she returned to her kingdom.
Presumably the next time she appears, there will be a new queen.
The world of Little Red Riding Hood has the shortest one round and is the easiest to explore, but once the teeth of the Big Bad Wolf are used as attack props, they must kill villains in other worlds faster than it can be reset.
They waited for a few more rounds before Abe and Ott arrived "lately".
After the two parties communicated their respective situations, "Little Red Riding Hood's grandma", who had been silent and only working, slammed the door panel hard, "The time is too short." They also already knew about the corrosive bubbles that appeared in the world of "Mermaid". I feel even more pressed for time.
"It would be nice if we could estimate the flow of time between the three stories." Lucas frowned and pondered, "Otherwise we won't be able to control each other's time, and the plan will go awry."
"Well... I have a guess."
Under the pressure of everyone's gaze, Abe looked back at them and asked: "Have you ever heard the sound of the clock? At the beginning of the official round."
Otto raised an eyebrow.
"Yes." Lucas replied in the affirmative, "before and after the rules are read out."
"Well, let's say we're in a clock. Sure, we're in a fairy tale, but what if, at the same time, we're in a clock?"
Little Red Riding Hood asked blankly: "What do you want to say?"
Abe's eyes fell on the clock hanging on the wooden house, "I was wondering if each story represents an hour hand. The boundary between two stories is straight because the hour hand itself is straight. When the hour hand coincides with the hour hand, the fairy tale overlaps, and the boundaries will be opened in an instant.”
"The second hand moves the fastest, and it overlaps with the hour and minute hands every time it moves. The boundary of "Little Red Riding Hood" is the most open, and you can easily go to the other two fairy tales from here. The number of overlaps between the minute and hour hands is very small , just like the boundary between "Snow White" and "The Mermaid" cannot wait until the moment it opens."
"So, 'Little Red Riding Hood' is the second hand, 'Snow White' is the minute hand, and 'The Mermaid' is the hour hand."
"The fairy tale is the flesh and blood, and the clock is the skeleton of the game."
Everyone was slightly startled when they heard this. Little Red Riding Hood looked around at the others who looked thoughtful, bit her lips and asked again: "How do you prove it?"
The outline of the wall clock was reflected in Abby's eyes, and she said: "You can tell from the number of rounds. When the story of the mermaid was in the middle stage of the plot, the story of "Snow White" happened to have reached the sixth round, so it can be roughly calculated At the end of "The Mermaid," "Snow White" has about 12 rounds. I didn't count the story of "Little Red Riding Hood," but you can count it in the next round."
"For every time the hour hand moves once, the minute hand moves 12 times, and the second hand moves 720 times."
In the quiet wooden house, the clock hanging on the wall kept ticking in circles.
