Old Jack needs 30 lost butterflies throughout the year, so he must seize the opportunity in early spring every year. Jenkins is a very responsible person, and he will do his best when he promises to help. Seeing that there is no one around, he uses the real phantom to leave a shadow, and keeps flashing in the place where the luminous butterflies are most dense.
This works very well. In just ten minutes, five butterflies have already been caught.
But he didn't notice that the cat in the pocket was eager to try. When Jenkins jumped up and waved the net bag, he also jumped out of the pocket.
It landed on the ground nimbly, then jumped high and rushed towards the butterflies. Jenkins' first instinct was to reach for the chocolate.
Because of the hasty movement, the man's cloak slipped off, and the cat failed to touch the butterflies. The hand catches the cat, and a small and beautiful glowing butterfly touches the hand. Under the amazed eyes of one person and one cat, they completely disappeared from the canyon, leaving only the cloak in the air, which fluttered down to the ground in the setting sun with the evening wind and butterflies.
Because of Chocolate's disobedience, Jenkins has been hurt more than once. Although every time the cat will obediently wait for the reprimand, and then get away with a coquettish attitude, Jenkins is very clear that his cat is actually acting. In that small and cute cat's head, there are actually infinite intrigues and tricks.
He sometimes thinks of his cat as the culprit of all current conspiracies and tricks, and looks forward to a day in the future when chocolate will turn into a human form and fight him one-on-one.
But this kind of boundless imagination will always be broken when chocolate is coquettish and stealing food. Because the mastermind behind the scenes may live beside the brave, but it is absolutely impossible to sleep next to the brave's pillow and call for breakfast on time every day.
After being tricked by chocolate again this time, Jenkins was not surprised at all, but was thinking about how to reprimand the cat when he went back. It was the first time he knew that his cat liked butterflies, and butterflies were rare in the season after adopting Chocolate.
"Where will it be teleported? If it's nearby, then ride a unicorn and come back directly. I just hope it's not the Kingdom of Cheslan. After all, I can only speak Hampavo and Fidiktri."
Jenkins was still thinking this way when he was teleported by space. His hands had been gripping the chocolate tightly, preventing them from being separated. The moment he landed, he saw a huge underground cavity, and under his feet was a light gate emitting endless white light.
"Um?"
Jenkins began to suspect again that his cat was actually the culprit behind his unlucky past six months.
Familiar with the entrance to a strange place, the familiar gate of light, and the familiar grotesque illusions, but Jenkins is still not used to the terrible dizziness. He was very witty and put on a black robe the moment he fell into the treacherous realm, in order to prevent other people in the treacherous realm from being unable to display all his abilities.
And the chocolate also matched the appearance of White Cat Vanilla. When Jenkins barely supported the ground and stood up, he saw Miss Magic and Miss Silver Flute, and he knew why the cat did this.
Both women were dressed in casual clothes. The older Miss Silver Flute was still dressed conservatively when they met on the train, while Miss Magic was wearing a very fashionable winter dress. This seems to be a new style this year, and Jenkins remembers seeing such a style in the magazine of Loen Palace.
The women frowned and retched. It was Miss Magic who first noticed the movement on Jenkins' side, and then cried out in surprise.
"Mr. Candle!"
Miss Yindi raised her head immediately, then took a step back subconsciously. She noticed the iconic cat on her shoulder, but her face was still wary.
"Why are you here?"
This question is very meaningful, because according to Jenkins' observations, the entrance to this strange place exists in a very hidden location. The two women obviously came together for a purpose, and it was probably because of this that Miss Yindi appeared in Shire.
And Jenkins appeared here, even he himself didn't know how to say it clearly.
"Mr. Candle, I am more concerned about your purpose than your reason for being here."
This is Miss Magic's question, in fact, it should be considered the same question as the previous one. She was barely a friend of Jenkins, and she also knew that the believers of the God of Lies were powerful. Compared with the chance meeting with Mr. Candle, she cares more about the reason why Mr. Candle appeared.
"I'm not following the two of you..."
Miss Magic seemed to believe it, and Miss Silver Flute looked distrustful.
"I came here for no purpose."
Now the two women couldn't believe it.
"Half an hour ago, I was conducting a dangerous... directional space teleportation experiment... and then... I appeared here."
He made it up while talking, seeing that they still didn't believe it, he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly:
"Whether you believe it or not, there is no need for us to be hostile in this kind of place. Speaking of which...you are not prepared for this strange situation, are you? I noticed that each of you has a suitcase."
"..."
Miss Magic looked at Mr. Candle's false face inquiringly, then turned around and shook her head at Miss Silver Flute:
"I think he can be trusted, and the two of us combined may not be his opponent."
The three people and one cat are now in a wasteland that looks a little scary. The wasteland is surrounded by endless grasslands, and the weeds grow taller than Jenkins. The sky was overcast, and a biting wind blew through the clearing. In the center of the clearing was a simple thatched hut with a collapsed roof. Most of the straw had dried up and rotted. The three people standing on the edge of the clearing happened to be downwind and could smell the rotten smell.
In front of the rotten wooden door of the thatched cottage, a man wearing a leather felt hat was looking at the three of them with a smile. It is not appropriate to call it a human being, because a human being obviously does not have three pairs of eyes, six arms, and eight legs, and it is even less likely that a human being will be entangled by a soul storm composed of ghosts.
"It's another soul storm!"
This scene made Jenkins think of the skull sword, but he had already thought of a way to deal with the impact of the soul tide.
The three of them formed an alliance, and before officially starting this adventure, Miss Magic revealed some information about this strange place. The outer entrance was formed two months ago, and it is one of the very few strange places that can last for a long time without collapsing.
Miss Magic spent a lot of money to buy this place because of the rewards in the strange world. She is willing to share the information she has, but the premise is that when faced with a choice, the two women can take the lead in choosing.
