Xu Zhixi was led by the ghost child to the center of the merry-go-round. She asked again: "Can I really sit on this merry-go-round?"
"If it's you, yes. No one else can ride on this Trojan, it only belongs to you."
"Yes, yes, no one else can, only you can." The other ghost children echoed, and they laughed like silver bells.
"Why?"
The ghost kid didn't answer, but covered his mouth and smiled shyly. He ran to an empty wooden horse and climbed on it.
"Let's ride the wooden horse together..."
they urged.
Shen Su looked worried, "Miss, it's better not to sit down. They just killed the person on the wooden horse."
Xu Zhixi looked at the wooden horse, then at the ghost child and said, "Can you tell me why you want to kill him?"
One of the little girls said coquettishly: "Because he took my place, he rode someone else's horse without being invited. It's really rude."
Another ghost child said: "Those who are rude are bad children. Bad children must be punished."
The other ghost children echoed: "Yes, yes..."
"But you can ride on this wooden horse because it belongs to you."
Xu Zhixi was thoughtful. She got on the horse and the wooden horse spun again. The music played happily. She held on to the railing and rotated with the wooden horse.
The gorgeous colored lights illuminated her, falling on her long eyelashes like colorful butterflies.
The ghost children began to collectively sing nursery rhymes: "Sit on the wooden horse and spin around, the scenery in front of you changes..."
This children's song brought Xu Zhixi's memory back to more than ten years ago.
She has also heard this children's song.
But the difference was that at that time she was just standing beside the carousel, looking at the other children with envy, spinning to the music.
She really wanted to ride the Trojan horse, but...
Everyone told her, "You are too weak and may fall, so you should just stand aside and watch."
Obviously there is just no place for her.
At that time, she was the one who was not invited.
-
"Miss, why are you crying?"
Xu Zhixi stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, "The wind was too strong just now, and sand got into my eyes."
This reason is indeed old-fashioned, but it is the most reasonable one.
After all, she had just completed a task without any injuries, and the task was very simple. It was just a few laps on the merry-go-round.
Next, they go to the pirate ship.
There are no other players here, just the two of them.
When they just entered the outer fence, the lights came on.
"There is no sign here."
Shen Su searched back and forth for a long time, but couldn't find the wooden sign.
"Can't all mission cards have the same hidden conditions?"
Shen Su thought about it, but he was really not a mental player, so he had to turn to Xu Zhixi for help.
"Go up and try."
Shen Su watched for a while. There was no obvious danger. He walked onto the pirate ship from the stairs on one side and searched the ship carefully with his eyes.
Finally, I found a line of writing on the rudder.
"You are a brave and fearless sailor, please raise your sails and ride the wind and waves."
Seeing this, Chen Su's eyes searched back and forth and locked on the white cloth in one corner. He walked over and shook the white cloth away.
It's a sail.
There is also a skull painted on it.
Suddenly, another force pulled the white sail, and he walked over, facing a ferocious and ugly face, salivating towards him.
"Holy shit-"
He couldn't help but curse.
The sharp claws were attacking him.
He took out his knife and slashed at the monster, fighting hard to kill it.
However, from Xu Zhixi's perspective, he was shaking the white cloth with one hand and slashing at the air with the other hand.
"Chen Su, what are you doing?"
He didn't answer her, and was still slashing at the air.
She raised her feet to go up, but was blocked by an invisible barrier. She patted it with her palms, to no avail.
"He can only come out after completing his mission."
A hoarse voice suddenly appeared.
She turned her head and looked over. She saw an old woman with a stooped back, wearing a black robe, her gray hair was slightly messy, her face was full of wrinkles, and her eyes were very cloudy.
She tremblingly took out a bright red apple from her pocket, handed it to her and said, "Do you want to eat the apple?"
She was smiling, but she looked exactly like the evil witch in fairy tales.
"No."
Xu Zhixi waved her hands to refuse and clenched the sickle in her hand.
The old woman did not force it, but took a bite herself, still smiling and saying: "Don't worry, this apple is not poisonous. Because the poisonous one has been eaten by the princess."
She turned around and gradually disappeared into the thickening fog.
"Click——"
The sound of splintering boards.
She followed the reputation and saw a white flag flying in the night, with a skull in the middle of the flag.
Shen Su wiped off the blood stain on his face and walked down the stairs on the side. "The mission is completed. Let's go to the next one."
-
The fog became thicker and thicker, completely blocking the view.
The two were walking side by side, Xu Zhixi holding his sleeve to prevent them from getting separated.
Gradually, she felt something was wrong.
The people around him were too quiet, not like Shen Su's style at all.
She deliberately coughed twice, but the man next to her still didn't respond, and her heart sank instantly.
The people around her still followed her step by step.
She tried to loosen his sleeve, held the handle of the sickle with her other hand, took a deep breath, and swung the knife at him.
The man grabbed her arm.
Seeing his face, Xu Zhixi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Taking care of yourself?"
However, "Gu Zi's" face suddenly changed and turned into "Chen Su."
Xu Zhixi was shocked and took a few steps back.
Somehow, her knees became weak and she collapsed on the ground.
"Chen Su" walked towards her with a knife in hand. She was completely stunned, staring blankly at the knife slashing at her.
"Zhi Xi, Zhi Xi, wake up!"
Xu Zhixi opened her eyes suddenly, and what came into view was Shen Su's enlarged face. She pushed back without leaving a trace.
"Miss, am I so ugly? Do you dislike me so much?"
Shen Su has a bitter gourd face.
Xu Zhixi was shocked and doubtful. When she saw his familiar and vivid expression, she was sure that this was reality.
She looked around and saw that this was a... castle?
Shen Su told her that she suddenly fainted just after entering the mist.
He brought her here.
"Before I came in, I paid attention to the landmark. This should be some kind of princess's castle."
"You said that if we want to complete the mission, we won't have to play the role of princess or prince, right?"
Shen Su touched his chin, "Then we are very suitable... Look at us..."
Xu Zhixi interrupted his narcissistic speech, "Let's go find the princess first."
"Looking for the princess?"
"We might even have to revive the princess."
Because the old woman told her before that the real poison apple was used on the princess.
Therefore, they should be trying to save the princess who had eaten the poisoned apple.
