Day of Imprisonment

The space affected by the 【Ghost Wall】 was filled with the smell of blood and burning.

Smoke still rose from Luo Xi's body.

His skin was severely burned, and his clothes were stuck to his flesh, making him look like a monster.

On the contrary, the fairy godmother who had died in his arms had now returned to human form, but she was also badly burned, her beautiful golden hair and fair, delicate face bearing shock and a certain kind of horror.

However, these expressions had already solidified into the ghastly appearance of death.

She probably never imagined that things would end in this way, with her tragic death.

But she would never know the answer.

Luo Xi released his mouth.

The woman's neck was a bloody mess from his bite.

【Gourmand】 possesses unimaginable power; exquisite food can be eaten, and 'food' that is not so exquisite but can replenish the body's functions can also be eaten.

Sometimes, the effect may be even better.

Luo Xi licked the blood on his lips, and his burned skin was slowly scabbing and recovering at this moment.

However, to fully recover, he would need to continue eating.

With the death of the fairy godmother, the spell she cast also became ineffective.

The Mad Lion, who had been turned into a mouse, returned to human form.

This guy looked frightened, panting heavily, and the cat that the fairy godmother had released earlier was still there. This cat clearly did not belong to magical creations, so even if its owner died, it still existed.

When the cat approached the Mad Lion, the latter subconsciously dodged, looking very comical. Even when the cat rubbed against his body, the Mad Lion was stiff all over, as if frozen.

Luo Xi sat aside, slowly recovering his strength. At the same time, the burns on his body and the curse caused by using the 【Soul-Seizing Bell】 also needed to be alleviated. Of course, the curse could not be removed for the time being, but Luo Xi could suppress some of the pain and would not affect his thinking and actions.

"Big Brother, this cat..." The Mad Lion finally recovered. He realized that he was no longer a mouse and understood that this cat posed no threat to him at all.

"You keep it for now." Luo Xi said, then added, "Also, guard the door. If anyone tries to come in, kill them directly, no matter who it is!"

Luo Xi was worried about other Memory Retrievers, including 'Gray Robe'.

Luo Xi knew very well that the other party had murderous intentions towards him. If Gray Robe saw this scene now, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't have some thoughts.

"Big Brother, your injuries are a bit serious!" The Mad Lion noticed the terrifying burns on Luo Xi's body, which looked painful and were definitely not the kind that ordinary people could withstand.

But Luo Xi sat there calmly as if nothing had happened, with the fairy godmother's corpse beside him.

Blood flowed all over the ground.

"It's okay. Do you have anything to eat?" Luo Xi asked. The Mad Lion reacted and quickly took out some food.

There was movement over there; it was the vengeful ghost.

Although its body was still entangled with resentment, it lacked malice. On the contrary, this evil ghost stared at the fairy godmother's corpse on the ground, and its ferocious, ghostly face actually began to blur. Finally, it slowly turned into a normal human face.

It looked like a kind middle-aged man.

The vengeful ghost then looked at Cinderella, who was sleeping on the table, and slowly walked over.

It reached out and gently stroked the girl's hair.

It was like touching the most precious treasure in its heart.

"She's not having a good life," Luo Xi said at this time.

Over there, the Mad Lion was holding the orange cat, guarding the entrance. According to Big Brother's instructions, he had to kill anyone who tried to come in at this time.

The vengeful ghost obviously understood Luo Xi's words.

It showed a painful and angry expression, and then looked again at the fairy godmother's corpse on the ground.

"Did this fairy kill you?" Luo Xi asked again. Obviously, everything that happened here was just a plot branch based on the classic fairy tale, one of many possibilities, but belonging to the relatively dark and cruel kind.

The vengeful ghost looked at Luo Xi again and nodded.

Then it uttered a low syllable.

"Witch."

Obviously, it was correcting Luo Xi's understanding, because Luo Xi had just said that the corpse on the ground was a 'fairy'.

"Witch?" Luo Xi said thoughtfully. He reached out and picked up a bloody severed hand from the ground, taking out the magic wand that was still tightly gripped in the severed hand.

The moment he got his hands on this thing, Luo Xi received some kind of prompt.

【Witchwood Wand】, a witch's wand, taken from a tree with magical power. Although it doesn't have any special functions, it can mobilize and amplify your magic power, while ensuring the completion of spells — don't let its unremarkable appearance fool you, it's a terrifying weapon.

Good stuff.

Whether from the function of the item or its origin, it can be called a rare and precious weapon card. The key point is that this is a magic weapon card, which in Luo Xi's eyes is on the same level as the 【Soul-Seizing Bell】.

Even more practical.

At least using this wand won't cause a curse backlash.

But whether you understand spells, witchcraft, and magic is a very important prerequisite. Without magic power and spells, the wand can only be a useless thing.

Luo Xi shifted his attention from the magic wand back to the vengeful ghost.

The duration of the 【Ghost Wall】 is ten minutes. When the time is up, the ghostly effect will be removed, and the vengeful ghost will disappear.

"Cinderella's father, let me call you that for now. If you have anything to say, say it. If you have any requests, make them." Luo Xi began his favorite 'conversation' tactic, using language to dig up information and bewitch others.

"Save her," the vengeful ghost indeed made a request.

Moreover, this request, at first glance, seems unremarkable, ordinary, and easy to fulfill. But if you carefully consider the background and actual situation, you'll realize that the 'save' the vengeful ghost speaks of may be completely different from your understanding.

Because, according to the normal storyline, the Fairy Godmother is actually 'saving' and 'helping' Cinderella.

Giving her beautiful clothes, exquisite glass slippers, a pumpkin carriage, letting her attend the royal ball, successfully attracting the prince's attention, and then...

This ending seems pretty good.

Perfect and beautiful.

From this perspective alone, the Fairy Godmother is actually a good person.

But she clearly isn't.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu吧!

A good person wouldn't kill a young girl's father, especially since anyone can draw a conclusion after understanding the matter.

Conspiracy.

There must be a conspiracy.

If the Fairy Godmother isn't a good person, but an evil and scheming witch, then the things she's doing must be for some ulterior motive.

Based on this premise, the 'save' that the vengeful ghost father speaks of must include preventing this from happening.

At this moment, the vengeful ghost wanted to say something; it seemed to know something.

But just as it was about to speak, another hand holding a white magic wand appeared behind it. The hand holding the wand waved gently, and the next second, the vengeful ghost father turned into a human-shaped tree trunk. Immediately afterward, the 【Ghost Wall】 seemed to be affected by external forces and began to become very unstable, like a collapsing building, collapsing instantly.

With that, the vengeful ghost, including the special space transformed by the Ghost Wall, all disappeared.

They returned to the normal room.

The witch's corpse actually began to rot faster. Luo Xi's heart stirred, and he immediately stripped off her clothes. In addition, he took down some things that he thought were useful.

Soon, after the corpse had rotted to a certain extent, it turned into a lump of mud.

It was the kind of mud that was dug out of the ground, with a damp smell.

Currently, Luo Xi couldn't determine whether this was the witch's own problem or the result of other forces intervening, but it was certain that in the fairytale world, the existence of 'witches' was definitely not trivial; they were not to be trifled with.

Luo Xi began to rummage through the witch's clothes.

In addition, there was a ring on the witch's finger.

【Magic Ring】, an exquisite accessory with a special ruby setting, made of mithril, that can trigger the source of magic within the body, but not everyone has this magical potential - even if it's just used as a simple accessory, it's a rare luxury item.

The witch was good; she 'dropped' a lot of good stuff.

Next time I meet one, I'll have to kill it.

Luo Xi put on the ring and felt it for a moment, then shook his head.

Clearly, he wasn't the one with the 'potential'.

And while rummaging through the clothes, two tickets fell out of a hidden pocket.

On the white tickets, the numbers '4' and '7' looked particularly scarlet.

"Grey Coat mentioned number 4 before. It was indeed provided by the Fairy Godmother. I didn't expect her to actually have a number 7 ticket." Luo Xi remembered that before, 'Grey Coat' and the female receptionist at the Dark Furnace Bar had only mentioned the ways to obtain tickets number 4, 5, and 6. Perhaps, even the people at the Dark Furnace Bar didn't know the way to obtain 'ticket number 7'.

Because the number 7 ticket was on the 'Fairy Godmother'.

And it was unlikely that she would take the ticket out and give it away, so, for the time being, there was only one way to obtain it.

That was to kill her.

But even for Luo Xi himself, being able to kill this Fairy Godmother definitely had a lot of luck involved. He only reviewed it slightly and knew that even if he had hesitated for a moment at several key points before, the final result would have been completely different.

Luo Xi didn't let go of the corpse that had already turned into mud.

He reached into the mud and felt around.

Unexpectedly, there was actually a harvest.

From the disgusting mud, he took out a still-beating heart.

This was a very incredible thing.

The beating heart was very strange, and holding it in your hand might make you feel terrified, but Luo Xi only found it interesting, and even studied what power was allowing the heart to continue beating.

The heart was also some kind of card prop. The hint Luo Xi could see was 【Unknown Magic Core】.

It didn't give a clear hint as to its specific use.

"Big brother, I feel like someone is coming," Mad Lion said at this moment.

He couldn't see the enemy, but his natural keenness could still detect some clues.

Luo Xi knew that 'Grey Coat' was coming.

He immediately put away the ticket and other spoils, and at the same time got up, enduring the tearing pain all over his body, walked towards the sleeping Cinderella on the table, looked down at her, and then said to the air: "I don't know if you've noticed, but there's hatred in her heart, a monstrous hatred."
