Day of Imprisonment

#276 - Dark fairy tale

An Zhiyan raised her head, watching the werewolf's shadow on the opposite tree trunk, not daring to make a single sound.

She knew this was the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

However, the situation she was currently facing was completely different from the plot in the fairy tale, because the fairy tale never mentioned that Little Red Riding Hood, this harmless little girl, would actually transform into a werewolf during the full moon.

Moreover, her combat power was terrifying to the extreme.

Take Liu Rong and the other three as an example.

Their strength was not weak. The Mad Lion alone could kill an elite C-level guard dog. In terms of strength, he could almost be compared to Liang Qiu from the Awakened Association. However, such a powerful veteran Scavenger was instantly killed by Little Red Riding Hood in her werewolf form.

The scene at the time was extremely terrifying and bloody.

The savage power of the beast and the tearing of its primitive claws were enough to evoke the fear hidden deep within one's consciousness.

"This werewolf Little Red Riding Hood is at least an elite B-level existence. If she discovers me, there's absolutely no way out. Only death awaits," An Zhiyan was very certain of this.

As for why she encountered this situation, An Zhiyan herself couldn't explain it.

At the Bikini Bottom Card Shop, after Luo Xi opened the door and went out, things went wrong.

He never came back.

Naturally, everyone in the house was curious and believed that Luo Xi had already entered the Fairy Tale Town.

Because the crimson invitation ticket clearly stated that after obtaining the ticket, opening any door would allow entry into Fairy Tale Town.

Lin Qiqi was indeed extraordinary in terms of decisiveness and mental state.

Or rather, her personality was sometimes very similar to a man's. No wonder she was respectfully called 'Brother Qi' in some circles.

An Zhiyan followed closely behind. When she opened the door and walked out, the outside was indeed no longer the alley she had entered, but a dim forest.

Lin Qiqi curiously looked around.

Although this situation was already expected, they still felt very shocked and incredible when they opened the door and actually found themselves in a completely different area.

"Where's Luo Xi?"

Lin Qiqi wasn't observing the environment, but looking for Luo Xi.

There was no sign of Luo Xi at the time, but both Lin Qiqi and An Zhiyan believed that Luo Xi was nearby.

Because they had all come out of the same 'door', they must be nearby.

Behind them was a large tree, and under the tree was a wooden door, which they had just walked out of.

Soon, Liu Rong, Hyena, and Mad Lion, the three ruthless bandits, also entered through the door.

They were very helpless.

But there was no way, fate had forcibly put them on a speeding train, and they had no right to choose whether or not to get on.

Liu Rong seemed to have spent a lot of effort persuading Mad Lion, saying that his rabies virus wasn't that serious, saying that his physique was different from others and could resist it, and so on. Only then did Mad Lion gradually recover from his 'stiff' and 'numb' state.

"Where is he?" Liu Rong stood in the forest, his expression very nervous and uneasy, which was completely different from the madness and arrogance he usually showed.

Lin Qiqi and An Zhiyan ignored him.

Feeling bored, Liu Rong thought for a moment and immediately led Hyena and Mad Lion away.

Obviously, in his judgment, this was the best time to leave.

Moreover, in terms of combat power, the three of them were obviously stronger, but they had failed to resist Luo Xi's bizarre methods before.

Lin Qiqi and An Zhiyan didn't leave. The two of them waited in place.

If Luo Xi was exploring nearby, he would definitely come back, without a doubt.

But the two of them waited for a long time and didn't see Luo Xi.

"Something's wrong!" Lin Qiqi made a judgment.

Before this, they had tried more than once to use their mobile phones to contact Luo Xi and others, but they had all failed.

In this forest, mobile phones had become completely useless.

There was no signal at all.

"Where did Luo Xi go? Could it be that he encountered some danger?" An Zhiyan could only speculate based on the situation at the time.

Lin Qiqi shook her head silently.

She pondered for a moment and sighed: "I suspect Luo Xi didn't come in!"

"What?" An Zhiyan was stunned: "What do you mean he didn't come in?"

"Of course, I mean he didn't enter this place!" Lin Qiqi looked around: "If Luo Xi was here, with his personality, even if he wanted to leave to investigate, he would leave clues. But I just observed that there are no clues left by him here. Under normal circumstances, Luo Xi wouldn't leave alone without encountering any situation, so I judge that he didn't come in at all!"

"..." An Zhiyan felt a little flustered when she heard this.

Of course, she didn't have any special feelings for Luo Xi. It wasn't that she had taken a liking to him, or that there was any kind of affection between a man and a woman. There definitely wasn't.

The reason she was flustered was because...

This was the legendary 'Fairy Tale Town', a terrifying place that would quickly disappear once a crimson invitation ticket was given.

A large part of the reason why An Zhiyan could remain calm before was because Luo Xi was also coming.

But Lin Qiqi actually said that Luo Xi might not have come in.

Wouldn't that mean that the two of them had to face the terrifying 'Fairy Tale Town' alone?

It would be strange not to be flustered.

"Then, should we wait a little longer?" An Zhiyan looked back at the door, then she walked over and tried to open it.

It opened, but inside was a narrow hollow in the tree, only a few square meters in area, which could be seen at a glance.

Clearly, they couldn't return the way they came.

"No need to wait," Lin Qiqi shook her head: "Luo Xi didn't come in. There's only one possibility: that the mayor must have tampered with his admission ticket. You saw earlier that the other party didn't seem too keen on giving Luo Xi an admission ticket. So, he pretended to give him one but secretly tampered with it; that's highly probable."

"Then you're saying the reason the mayor didn't want to give Luo Xi an admission ticket is really because Luo Xi has been here before? Or, does the mayor also know Luo Xi?"

"Both possibilities exist, but neither is meaningful to us. We must now accept the reality that we can only rely on ourselves for the time being."

"For the time being? From your words, it seems there's still a turning point?"

Lin Qiqi glanced at An Zhiyan: "Isn't that obvious? With Luo Xi's personality, he will definitely find a way to enter the Fairy Tale Town. So, we just need to hold on until he comes to find us."

An Zhiyan was somewhat incredulous; Lin Qiqi's trust in Luo Xi was too high.

"How can you be so sure?"

"I'm very sure."

"Okay, but even if he comes, he might not be able to get through this place. After all, this is 'Fairy Tale Town'."

"Heh, as long as he wants to, there's nothing he can't do." Lin Qiqi raised her proud chin, staring down at An Zhiyan with a condescending gaze: "He's the man I've set my sights on, so he can definitely do it. Otherwise, the mayor wouldn't resort to underhanded tricks. But the mayor is muddled; doing this is equivalent to completely provoking him... Haha, I'm quite curious to see how the mayor will clean up the mess when the time comes!"

At this moment, Lin Qiqi was actually beaming, seemingly not at all worried about her current situation.

An Zhiyan thought this woman was a bit crazy.

Immediately afterward, the two were drawn by a sudden scream coming from a distance.

"Sounds like Liu Rong and the others."

"Let's go take a look."

Neither of the two women were acting rashly. Liu Rong and the other two were enemies before, but in this special environment, enemies can also become 'allies'.

Because she wasn't familiar with the environment, Lin Qiqi still quickly used her dagger to make marks on some tree trunks along the way. Following the sound, the two quickly arrived at a place and then saw a scene that made their scalps tingle.

A werewolf over two and a half meters tall was fighting with Liu Rong and the other two.

The werewolf was also wearing a small red cloak.

The size was clearly mismatched.

An Zhiyan thought she was seeing things when she saw this scene.

"A werewolf? Where did a werewolf come from? No, how can there be a werewolf in this place?"

The shock brought about by the appearance of such a mythical creature right in front of them was considerable.

"Liu Rong and the others are no match. Hurry up and help; it's not good for us if they die." Lin Qiqi reacted quickly. She immediately used her Soul Gazer ability to observe and found that the soul strength of the werewolf wearing the red cloak was clearly stronger than that of Liu Rong and the other two.

In addition, Lin Qiqi also discovered a secret.

The werewolf's soul phantom was in the form of a little girl.

"A werewolf with the heart of a young girl?" Lin Qiqi was a little dazed, but she acted quickly, immediately casting [Soul Shock].

An Zhiyan also immediately used a special [Anesthetic] to assist in the attack.

One minute later.

The alliance of five people was directly crushed by this werewolf.

The collapse began and spread rapidly when Crazy Lion, the Memory Seeker who seemed to have the strongest melee combat ability, was grabbed by the werewolf, who bit his neck and severed it.

The werewolf was ridiculously strong in terms of strength, speed, and destructive power.

[Anesthetic] was almost ineffective.

[Soul Shock] could only make it dazed for a moment, but the result was even more madness.

Liu Rong ran, Hyena also ran. In the emergency, Lin Qiqi shouted 'Run separately!' and then darted into the woods. An Zhiyan wasn't slow either, but she found that the werewolf seemed to be chasing Lin Qiqi.

She immediately became terrified.

With Lin Qiqi's speed, it was impossible to escape the werewolf's pursuit.

But in that situation, there was nothing she could do.

All she could do was run madly with the added fear, squeezing out all the physical strength in her body. Sometimes she accidentally tripped, but she immediately got up and continued running.

Until she was exhausted and then hid in this tree hollow.

An Zhiyan knew very well that wolves have a very keen sense of smell, even better than dogs.

In a forest like this, there's no doubt about a wolf's ability to hunt prey.

So it was really hard to judge which of them would be able to escape alive, because with that werewolf's ability, it could easily hunt down anyone it chased.

And while hiding, An Zhiyan heard singing coming from the depths of the forest.

Thinking about it carefully, An Zhiyan realized that this was very similar to the setting in a classic fairy tale: the forest, the small red cloak, the big bad wolf, and that song 'I walk alone on a country lane'.

"It's 'Little Red Riding Hood'!"

"But, it doesn't seem quite the same as the normal 'Little Red Riding Hood'!"
