Chapter 292 Guests in the Fireplace
Luo Xi continued to ask.
"Besides No. 4, 5 and 6, what other number of tickets can be obtained here?"
"No more." The female receptionist shook her head.
“Is there none, or is this all that can be announced?”
"It seems that we can get tickets for nodes 9 and 10, but we don't know much about node 6, but we don't have much information there, and we can't keep it true." The female receptionist looked at Luo Xi, With a sense of playfulness.
Luo Xi heard something from the female receptionist's words.
“Are you not going to clear the level at the Dark Furnace?”
“Pass it?” The female receptionist smiled, and then asked several rhetorical questions: “Isn’t this place good enough? ? Although the sense of the times is hundreds of years different from the outside, life is not bad. Why do you have to clear the level? Do you like to escape from one cage to another? They are all cages, so where do you stay? "
These questions are very good.
Luo Xi also took a high look at the female receptionist.
However, you still have to refute what should be refuted. It has nothing to do with right or wrong, it is simply a habit.
The silver coins on the table shine with reflections.
These silver coins can buy a lot of things in the city. After all, no one doesn't want their life to be better.
The female receptionist stared at the silver coins. She furrowed her beautiful eyebrows and looked very serious. She seemed to be thinking about something and seemed to be in a daze.
The chair across from the table was empty.
The person on the other side has left.
Someone in the pub who was familiar with the female receptionist noticed something strange about her.
"What's wrong with you? Are you having sex?" A man sat opposite her.
This man looked very rough. He was holding a wine glass in his hand. The liquid inside exuded the aroma of malt.
"Because the other cage is closer to the window into reality," the female receptionist muttered to herself.
"What did you say?" The man was stunned. He found that his female companion was in a very strange state.
"Nothing!" The receptionist shook her head, as if she had been freed from the previous question. She stretched out her white fingers and picked up the silver coins on the table one by one.
"Coins of unknown origin can be turned into cards. Where did that person get it?" The female receptionist held a silver coin and flipped it with her fingers, and the silver coin turned into a card.
“Maybe it’s a certain node. You know, the number of nodes here is hard to count. No one knows how many there are, and most of the nodes are unfamiliar to us. These nodes are mutually exclusive. The connection has turned into a huge, inescapable maze. Fortunately, we still have this bar. Life is not bad." The man smiled and drank the beer in the cup in one gulp.
Then he let out a pleasant hum.
"Okay, it's time to go to work. If the boss knows that we are lazy, he may impose some kind of punishment, and then we will be in trouble."
"I know, yes. Now, where is Gray Shadow? He’s not in good condition lately. That’s right, and the boss seems a little dissatisfied with him.”
“Who knows what that guy was thinking? Last time, he actually killed a customer. He was really crazy.”
The man cursed.
He seemed a little tipsy.
The female receptionist stretched out her fingers to rub her brow, and then whispered: "Huiying, he seems to be interested in that one."
The man was stunned. He was a little confused at first. But soon I realized something, my body He leaned forward and also lowered his voice: "You mean, Cinderella? No, he can't tell what is real and what is illusion?"
"He doesn't admit it, But, I’m a woman and I can see it.” The female receptionist sighed: "It's good that you know this. The three of us came here together. Hui Ying is very capable. Even if the boss has objections to him, he will not punish him rashly. But you, this I went to node 6 for the first time, what did I find? ”
“Discover? Ha, I was almost hacked to death by those thieves. Damn, that place is too dangerous. Compared to there, I prefer here, the lively city, the beautiful women. And wine." The man smiled.
"Be careful. You know the boss's temper. If there is no progress, he may do something to you."
"I'm not afraid." The man said through gritted teeth, even though he said so , but it can be seen that he still cares about this matter very much.
There are very few pedestrians on the street. Even if there are any, they are rushing back.
Luo Xi is very fast.
Finally, before the eight o'clock bell rang, he returned to the house where Cinderella was.
Luo Xi also took a special look at the direction of the roof.
He felt that the 'grey clothes' were staring at him from above.
At this time, there was movement in the back alley. Luo Xi went over to take a look and found that it was Cinderella's stepmother and two sisters who got into their carriage. Then the carriage drove away quickly, horses hooves stampeding on it. There was a crisp sound on the brick-paved floor.
“Are you going to the royal ball?”
Luo Xi knows the plot.
I also knew that if nothing unexpected happened, tonight, Cinderella, that is, Cinderella would meet the fairy godmother who appeared from the fireplace, and get beautiful clothes and glass slippers, as well as the wonderful pumpkin carriage.
Obviously, ordinary people are not allowed to wander in the city at night, but the powerful are not restricted and can come and go freely.
But it is also a good thing for the three stepmothers to leave.
Luo Xi entered the house easily.
In the back room, Luo Xi heard a girl's voice. "You are right, Mr. Lion, I. I do think so. Although, I think it is wrong to think so."
"Why do you think this is wrong? You are not the one who did the wrong thing. You are blaming yourself. Hey, let me ask you, does this house belong to you? It belongs to your father. No, your stepmother that your father left for you, and those two bullshit sisters, they think you Are you a family member? No, what kind of family do you think you are? They want you to die. If it were me, I would chop off the heads of the three of them with a knife!"
The voice of a mad lion, and it was obvious that this guy was very serious about 'enlightenment'.
“Ah, how can you do that? It’s not right to hurt others”
“Oh, it’s not right for you to hurt them, but it’s right for them to hurt you? No one has this kind of fallacy, or that? In a word, the three of them are using yours and bullying you, why? Girl, you listen to me, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding others. , you have to stand up."
When he heard this, Luo Xi knew that leaving the mad lion alone would be a bad move.
This guy actually fooled Cinderella here.
Luo Xi took a sneak peek.
Cinderella is sitting over there, opposite, is the mad lion.
This guy is just sitting on a chair talking nonsense like this.
Luo Xi was very curious as to what identity the Kuangshi guy had appeared in front of Cinderella without being suspected by the other party?
Then he instilled in Cinderella the concept of 'retribution'. At this moment, the crazy lion talked much more than usual, and the words were spitting and stars were flying everywhere.
Suddenly, Luo Xi glanced to the side.
He knew that there was someone behind him.
“You should persuade him, he is actually looking for death by saying this.”
The voice in gray clothes always carries a gloomy tone.
The sound is very small, but it can be heard clearly.
"You want to kill him?" Luo Xi asked back.
"Me? No, I am the monitor of the dark furnace and will not interfere with the behavior of customers. Although we have stated the customer's code of conduct before, there are still some guys who can't think of it. Go Doing things you know you can't do for the sake of those gold coins, a kind reminder that she is coming soon, and she doesn't like someone to teach her Cinderella bad things. This behavior is worse than bullying her directly. ”
Who is coming?
she?
Luo Xi was stunned.
But he immediately realized that the danger mentioned by Hui Yishang might not be alarmist, because Luo Xi also noticed that dust seemed to suddenly fall on the fireplace over there.
It was like something was coming out of the fireplace.
That’s right! The encounter between Cinderella and the Fairy Godmother happened when her stepmother and sisters left for the ball and Cinderella was sweeping the ashes. This time, the crazy lion started to cheat before the ashes were swept away.
But what should come will still come.
So this is the danger Gray Yishang is talking about?
In fairy tales, the fairy godmother is a key figure who teaches Cinderella and changes her destiny. It stands to reason that such a character would not be. Wait, this is not a real fairy tale world.
This is a fairy tale town.
The witches in the tinder box may all be good people, Little Red Riding Hood has turned into a werewolf, and the fairy godmother is a murderer at heart, which seems to have become a reasonable thing.
And it was obvious that Hui Yishang just wanted to watch the show and had no intention of interfering at all.
At critical times, you can only rely on yourself.
Luo Xi considered several possibilities in an instant and took out some cards at the same time.
He didn't show up.
Because what Gray Shang said was right, the man in the fireplace has already arrived.
As the ashes fell, a bunch of withered-looking purple hair first emerged from the side of the fireplace, followed by a face that looked like it had fallen upside down. Logically speaking, it should look funny, but it actually looks very scary.
Most people don't have that kind of pale face and cold eyes. Luo Xi has seen many cruel people, but very few have this kind of appearance.
Then a more terrifying scene happened.
The opponent's face turned 180 degrees like a disk. The originally inverted face turned right this time.
But this guy’s body hasn’t come out yet.
So is it understandable that the body is still in the fireplace? It’s really impossible to imagine what the physiological structure of such a posture would be like.
The mad lion seemed to be aware of the danger.
This guy has an unimaginable sense of combat, and his sense of danger is completely instinctive.
In the fireplace, a hand stretched out, grasping a small branch that seemed to be more than a foot long.
“Sleeping Curse!”
Almost at the same time that the weird fairy godmother said the spell, Luo Xi also activated two [Counter Curse].
Because I don’t know whether the opponent’s attack is directed at myself or the mad lion, I simply use two cards to fully cover the defense and counterattack.
