Chapter 263: Being Cheated
According to the rules on the ticket and the terrifying legends about the 'Fairy Tale Town' told by Lin Qiqi and the others, anyone who meets the 'Mayor' will receive a gift. One ticket.
After getting the admission ticket, no matter which door you open, you can directly enter the ‘Fairy Tale Town’.
This is obviously something that violates the laws of the physical world.
But during the days of confinement, the so-called 'laws of physics' did not exist at all. It was not uncommon for different areas to communicate through a medium known to the public through 'doors'.
Many level scenes use this method to construct level scenes.
For example, after entering a door, you find that the actual scene area inside is much larger than the scene you thought. Or, for example, the scene inside obviously does not conform to the characteristics of the building where the entrance is located.
A very simple example is the 'Haunted House Escape' scene in Doudou Game House. After entering, the scene inside is very large. It is completely an ancient courtyard, corridor garden, and hall rockery.
These cannot be built in one building.
Another example is that in the 'Ghost Building', the 'day' and 'night' scenes rotate.
The 'door' is like a magical and strange link that can connect two spaces at different locations or even different dimensions to create interoperability.
At this moment, Luo Xi thought that when she opened the door, she would see an eerie fairy tale town outside, or an area that was obviously completely different from the alley outside the Beechburg Card Shop.
But outside, there is that alley.
“Strange!”
To confirm, Luo Xi stepped out and looked around.
It was indeed the entrance to the Bikini Castle Card Shop. Although the sky was gloomy, there was nothing wrong with it.
"Could it be that there is something wrong with this door? Because it is damaged, it cannot be used as a medium to connect different areas?" Luo Xi murmured to himself. He thought about it, turned around, opened the door, and was about to call Lin Qiqi and the others came out to take a look.
Just opening the door again, Luo Xi was stunned.
The Beechburg Card Shop was empty, with no one in sight.
He immediately walked into the store and looked around.
Indeed there is no one.
Walking to the cashier, Luo Xi looked at the blood stains remaining on the table and reached out to touch it.
It is not dry.
Liu Rong, the hyena and the crazy lion were also missing over there.
Luo Xi took out the phone and dialed Lin Qiqi's number. At the same time, he took out the 'admission ticket'. The phone indicated that the call could not be dialed, and Luo Xi also found behind the admission ticket. Got a seal that didn’t exist before.
"This roll is void?"
When I checked it before, there was absolutely no "This roll is void" stamp on the admission roll. Luo Xi was sure of this.
When he saw the word 'nullified', even Luo Xi was stunned for three seconds.
"How did that mayor do it?" Luo Xi frowned and carefully checked the admission ticket in his hand: "How could an invisible person be in my pocket quietly? Mark the ticket as 'voided', or just replace the ticket in my pocket?"
"I was cheated, that guy didn't want me to go to Fairy Tale Town at all!"< br>
Luo Xi was a little angry.
He was actually cheated?
Although he can recognize the lies of others and no one can lie in front of him, the invisible mayor of Fairy Tale Town is an exception.
Because you can’t see the other person’s expression at all, you naturally can’t judge through details such as eyes and micro-expressions.
Now Lin Qiqi’s phone number can no longer be reached, indicating that she may have entered the ‘Fairy Tale Town’ with others.
But Lin Qiqi and the others would not pass through the door without their own orders, let alone open it on their own. Liu Rong and Hyena, the three tough bandits, would not act rashly, so these big guys How do living people disappear at the same time?
“Unless the opening mechanism is not limited to the person holding the ticket, but also includes other people opening any door around them, the person holding the ticket will be involved in the fairy tale town. It also explains the fact that Lin Qiqi said before that no matter how hard they defend themselves, those who have obtained tickets will not escape. "
This problem immediately became troublesome.
According to rumors, once you enter Fairy Tale Town, you will not be able to get out. You will be trapped in it forever. Even if the cycle day is reset, it will be useless.
Luo Xi knew that Lin Qiqi was not simple, and was definitely in the first or second echelon among the people who picked up memories.
But she is not herself.
“It’s the same question, why don’t you let me go?” Luo Xi thought about this question again.
He had already come to some conclusions before, but the situation was different now. He had to think through this problem and figure out how to enter Fairy Tale Town.
"The previous inferences of An Zhiyan and Lin Qiqi do exist, and the possibility is very high, but if it is just because I have been to 'Fairy Tale Town' before, I will not be allowed to enter again. This statement It's also unreasonable. There is no rule that you can only go once on the admission ticket, and there are no rumors, so I am not allowed to go. There are only two possibilities. One is that I have been there, but because it is in a fairy tale. What did the town do to ban me from entering again? The second is that I have never been there, and they simply banned me from entering Fairy Tale Town. If it is the first possibility, then I must go, because in Fairy Tale Town There may be clues; if it is the second type, I have to go even more, because the more things the enemy is not allowed to do, the more it must be done."
With the goal in mind, the next step is to do the work.
Luo Xi pondered for a few minutes in the dilapidated card shop, then grabbed the dead guard dog on the ground and walked out.
When I went out, I also hung a 'Closed for Business' sign in front of the damaged door. "I'm sorry, can you lend me a plastic bag?" Luo Xi asked the boss at the entrance of the alley, at the store that was just about to open for business. The other party wanted to refuse, but when he saw clearly that the man in front of him was covered in blood, his eyes were indifferent. But he had a temperament that made people feel numb. After carrying a dog's body with one hand, he decisively borrowed a large plastic bag.
“Thank you!”
Luo Xi put the watchdog’s body into a plastic bag and walked away.
It was very close to the Sega Apartment Building. Luo Xi ran all the way there, went upstairs, entered an empty room, and called Mao Ge and the others.
After a while, Brother Mao, Wu Rui, Guo Zening, Fatty Qian, and Ke Lan, who had just returned from work, entered one after another.
Luo Xi was washing his face. Blood-stained clothes were thrown on the chair next to him, and the body of a watchdog still in a plastic bag was on the ground.
The owner of this house is not at home, as is the case every cycle day, so this place, including several other rooms in the apartment building that have been found to be uninhabited, has become a place for them to gather, repair and discuss plans. site.
“What’s going on?” Brother Mao knew something big was going on when he saw this posture.
Wu Rui also walked over immediately, but after noticing that Luo Xi was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at the black Labrador in the clinker bag. Suddenly, she was stunned.
“This is not the one in the Bikini Castle Card Shop”
Wu Rui followed Luo Xi to Hao Xiuwen’s place. Although the dog was covered in blood and dead, But he can still be recognized at a glance through the collar around his neck and some features.
"Something happened in the card shop?" Wu Rui roughly guessed what happened. The dog was beaten to death, which means that the enemy is very strong. You must know that ordinary memory collectors are not the opponent of this dog.
"Things are a bit complicated." Luo Xi had already washed his face and wiped off all the blood on his body.
He turned and glanced at a few people: "Have any of you heard of 'Fairy Tale Town'?"
Brother Mao, Guo Zening and Wu Rui were all confused.
They became Memory Pickers at the same time as Luo Xi. It can be said that if it weren’t for following Luo Xi, they would still be struggling with the ‘food and clothing line’.
Some of them may not survive until now.
Of course I don’t know, and I have never heard of it.
But when Fatty Qian and Ke Lan heard the words "Fairy Tale Town", their expressions changed.
Obviously heard of them all.
This is normal. Ke Lan is originally a very powerful memory collector in all aspects. Although he was a lone ranger before, he must have his own way to obtain information.
As for Fatty Qian, this guy just goes to places like the Time Meeting House when he has nothing to do. He knows what others know, and he also knows what others don’t know.
Luo Xi gave an overview of the situation.
"Tell me everything you know about Fairy Tale Town, even if it sounds questionable or is considered false information."
The only ones who can provide information are Fatty Qian and Ke Lan.
The two thought for a while and gave some information respectively.
"Luo Ju, 'Fairy Tale Town' is a level scene that has not been confirmed to actually exist. I have specifically inquired about it at the Time Assembly Center before. Basically, no one has actually experienced that level scene. All of them The information comes from other people's accounts, but the strange thing is that after explicitly saying that they met The 'town mayor' and the people who have obtained the 'Ticket to Fairy Tale Town' have indeed disappeared. Of course, there are also some braggarts who say they have received 'tickets' and have been to 'Fairy Tale Town' , but it was later proven to be a lie and false!”
Fatty Qian is sharing and analyzing very seriously.
Because Lin Qiqi is missing.
This matter, Fatty Qian thinks, is very serious and must be taken seriously. Moreover, Lin Qiqi is a member of their small group, so he is also very worried.
“But as far as I know, there are very few memory collectors who have actually disappeared because they obtained admission tickets, so a considerable number of people believe that 'Fairy Tale Town' does not exist at all and is just someone's whim. Or, it’s just a lie”
"Facts have proved that that is not a lie." Luo Xi looked at Ke Lan, who said simply and horrifiedly: "I once saw information about 'Fairy Tale Town' in a place."
"Where?" Even Fatty Qian was shocked. He didn't know about this at all.
"Rainbow City, Doudou Game House, there is a game called 'Travel to Fairy Tale Town', but this game has never been opened. I once asked the administrator there, and they said that the game has not been developed yet, but it will be released later. Go and find that the area and entrance to this game have been completely eliminated. Lost it, I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Later I heard rumors about "Once Upon a Time" and thought about whether there was any connection between the two. But you know, there is no point in exploring this kind of thing, so I just took my time. "I slowly forgot about it."
Ke Lan told what he knew.
He then said: "By the way, I haven't seen the admission ticket to Fairy Tale Town yet. Boss, why don't you show it to us to open our eyes?"
Luo Xicong He took out the ticket stamped "This volume is void" from his pocket and handed it to Ke Lan. Fatty Qian and the others also hurriedly went over to take a look.
“It’s really, blood red, as if it has been soaked in blood.”
"There's still a fishy smell, and even the words on it are weird."
"I didn't expect such a thing to really exist. I'm getting goosebumps."
"Wait a minute. "I've seen this thing before." Suddenly, Wu Rui pointed at the ticket and said.
