A scream that didn't sound like a human voice came out of the iron pot. Lin Huai didn't have any psychological barriers to this, because it was impossible for the wolf head to make a human voice.
"Gulu-gulu-ah!!"
The werewolf struggled terribly. It seems that it didn't expect that the little girl with her back to him, the first reaction after seeing him was not to run away screaming, but...
Straight away, without hesitation, he pushed it into the boiling pot!
Is this what people do? !
Not only the werewolf was struggling, Lin Huai was also very nervous. Turned into Little Red Riding Hood, his strength is only a little more than half of what it was before. Since he couldn't be sure that he was strong enough to fight against this tall and burly werewolf, he decided to be more cautious and directly pushed the werewolf to death in the boiling water.
While carrying out the action that the animal protection organization would issue a stern protest, the werewolf's screams gradually weakened. Lin Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his hand.
"It's too dangerous." Lin Huai said, and realized that her voice had become sweet and greasy, like candy that was about to melt, "I almost killed it."
He thought his voice was interesting, so he stood on tiptoe and said a few words to the werewolf who died in the pot: "Look, we are both safe now."
He rested against the wall for a while, and then dragged the werewolf out of the pot in a familiar way.
The face of the werewolf couldn't see the ferocious expression before death, because it had been burned into a mosaic. Its body was extremely tall, and when it fell to the ground, it made a loud "boom", splashing a cloud of smoke and dust.
"Well, first see if there's anything available..."
He familiarly rummaged through the wolf corpse. The werewolf wears a maid's dress with a flowered apron around her waist.
It should be "Grandma Wolf" in the story.
There was a rustling sound in the grass outside the house. Lin Huai in the house didn't notice it.
Amid the sound of boiling water, Lin Huai felt a hard card in a small pocket of the flower apron.
"this is… "
He opened his hands.
What appeared in his palm was a red card. The golden rose pattern is hot on the card, complicated and rich, and it feels hot in the palm of the hand.
"Candy House?"
Lin Huai lowered her head and sniffed the card. The card was stained with a thick sweet fragrance. The aroma was too strong, but after smelling it for a long time, the strong fishy smell poured into his nostrils, making him extremely uncomfortable.
It was the smell of sour and rotting flesh.
"The 'key' has been obtained—gluttony." The cold system voice sounded in his head.
This is... the key to gluttony
"Obtain the key that belongs to the witch, walk into the forest, and you will find the witch's residence." A sweet voice rang in his ears, "Please hurry up and leave the birth point."
Lin Huai: ...
So this cabin is his birth point
Recalling the cramped storage room, the cauldron in front of him, and the werewolf who died tragically on the ground, Lin Huai probably understood the intention of the game.
Each player descends into this world with a different identity, and the initial task they face is the crisis faced by their respective identities.
"Snow White's task is to break free from the coffin, otherwise she will be poisoned to death by poisonous apples, the Little Mermaid's task is to kill the 'Prince', otherwise it will gradually turn into bubbles, and Syndurella is before midnight Escape from the ball?" Lin Huai simply guessed, "And I arrived at the time when I was about to be eaten, and successfully escaped from the poisonous hand of this wolf grandma."
As he spoke, he glanced at Grandma Wolf's twisted and skinned "poisonous hands" due to struggling under his hands.
The werewolf was lying on the ground with a swollen abdomen, which seemed to be full of "food".
—It should be his "grandmother" in this story.
The little girl in the red cloak crouched on the ground. She stared at the belly, seeming a bit embarrassed, finally, she frowned, raised a finger, and cautiously...
Poke each other's belly.
Nothing happened.
Lin Huai breathed a sigh of relief, now he didn't have to stain his skirt.
He stuffed the card into his pocket, stood up, and planned to follow the system's instructions to leave the birth point. But before that, he decided to search the house like other ordinary players.
Ordinary players are searching for available items, but he is...
"If there is a fish that slipped through the net in the house and chases me after I go out, I will be in danger." The girl murmured, "In order to ensure my safety, I can only kill the fish that slipped through the net right now. "
He casually grabbed a hatchet from the side. This world is too dangerous, he needs some strength to defend himself.
The girl in the red cloak dragged the hatchet and passed through the wooden house. Lin Huai was a little nervous now, if he could confirm that everyone in the room was dead, he would be relieved.
He quickly inspected the wooden house, unfortunately... No, fortunately, there is no so-called fish that slipped through the net in this house.
As for the regretful and the lucky, which one is Lin Huai and which one is the fish that slipped through the net... It's hard to say.
This is a cozy cabin, with fresh fruits and vegetables in the kitchen and a wicker basket with apples next to it. This rattan basket was probably carried by Little Red Riding Hood herself.
There were reading glasses and a few letters on the dining table. Lin Huai glanced at the letters and was about to take them down when he noticed the newspaper next to the letters.
newspaper…
In the newspaper, it is a signed headline.
"Recently, girls have been disappearing in the forest for no reason. Please pay attention to safety when traveling..."
Missing for no reason
Lin Huai put down the newspaper and turned to look in the direction where the werewolf fell.
"Looks like you should be the one to do it." He said to himself, "There should be a lot of wolves in the forest. I look too weak now, I need to increase my deterrence...or disguise .”
Thinking of this, he walked back to the kitchen with a hatchet in hand.
The hatchet was sharp, and Lin Huai dragged the weapon, which was almost half his height, to the side of the wolf corpse.
When he was squatting beside the wolf corpse, studying how to peel off the wolf skin completely, Lin Huai's ears moved slightly.
There were footsteps outside the cabin.
Lin Huai:
He picked up the hatchet and walked towards the wooden door.
Light footsteps came to the door, Lin Huai held a hatchet and stopped breathing on the spot.
"Squeak—"
There was the sound of someone turning the handle on the door, Lin Huai huddled in the corner, for fear that he would find himself.
The door opened.
Appearing at the door was a young man with a very strange face. He was wearing a hunting suit, turned his eyes, and looked at the scene in the wooden house, as if he was observing something.
Lin Huai held a hatchet behind him.
"Little Red Riding Hood, Big Bad Wolf, Grandma and the Hunter... Is this the Hunter?"
According to the fairy tale setting, the hunter should be the one who came to save him. Thinking of this, Lin Huai couldn't help showing a kind smile.
The hunter was still walking in, and Lin Huai followed him lightly. He looked at the gap between his height and the other's shoulder, and felt a little headache.
"It has to be like this."
The hunter was concentrating on sneaking into the bedroom, but at the next moment...
Something sharp, heavy, and cold was placed around the neck.
hunter:? ! !
"Who?!"
After hearing the alarmed and frightened voice, Lin Huai, who tried to pat the opponent's shoulder with a hatchet instead of a hand, realized that she seemed to have been misunderstood, so she decided to be kind to him.
"Hee hee," Lin Huai smiled at him, "Are you looking for me? I'm always behind you."
"Little... Little Red Riding Hood?"
The hunter turned his head and met the little girl in the red cloak. After seeing the hatchet in her hand, she said sharply, "How can you, a little girl, hold such a dangerous thing?"
The little girl seemed frightened by him, and when she blinked, her eye circles turned red. Seeing her biting her lip, the hunter looked like she was about to cry, and comforted him in a panic: "That's not what I meant... you put the knife down first?"
Little girl: "Oh."
She obediently threw down the hatchet and made a loud bang on the ground. The hunter was also relieved to see her so well-behaved.
"Why are you at my house?" The little girl blinked at him.
The hunter said to her gently: "I am a hunter. On the road just now, I saw a wolf following you. I was worried, so I came here to have a look..."
The little girl nodded obediently. The hunter said again: "Seeing that you are all right, I am relieved. There is no trouble to find you, right?"
"Now, there is a little trouble." The little girl blinked her eyes, looking very delicate, "Can you help me?"
"What's the trouble?"
The little girl glanced at the depths of the entrance, and said softly: "You will know when you arrive."
The hunter followed her inside. He looked at the back of the little girl, and secretly held the ax he put in his bag.
After she turned around, the gentleness on Hunter's face disappeared, replaced by excitement and madness!
He looked at the person he had been following for many days, and followed her in step by step. He was in no hurry to kill her on the fly—precious prey, to be enjoyed and treasured.
He switched the ax from the bag to his left hand, and continued: "Is there no one else in your family?"
"Hmm..." Little Red Riding Hood in front thought for a while, and finally said, "There's only one person here."
A person
The hunter rolled his eyes, and his smile became more sincere.
"It's too dangerous for a weak and innocent girl like you to stay at home alone or pass through the forest." The hunter said softly, "You know, you can easily... cause some troubles, such as..."
The scene in the kitchen appeared in his eyes.
The hunter who saw the miserable wolf carcass: ...
"For example, the corpse of this werewolf is really too difficult for me to chop." The little girl turned her head and smiled innocently at him, "So this uncle, help me?"
"How about using your knife that intends to cut off my head?"
