Day of Imprisonment

Zhang Zhe explained the normal way to clear the Fairy Tale Town.

"Originally, you only needed to collect the key props from several nodes to leave at specific exits in nodes 7, 9, 13, and 28. The key props are the glass slipper, the poisoned apple, the spinning wheel, the magic wand, the weird candy, and the magic conch. As long as you find any three of them, you can get a ticket to leave. But now the mechanism for leaving is sealed, so collecting these props is no longer important."

"The focus is still on the Witch Alliance, but to be honest, I can only eke out a living in node 2. Once I leave node 2, those powerful witches will kill me in minutes," Zhang Zhe said, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

He was originally the administrator of the entire Fairy Tale Town.

He could freely come and go to any node.

But the sudden changes disrupted all the rules, and now he can only huddle in one node, doing nothing except occasionally sending people out to explore.

"So, you also don't know how to clear Fairy Tale Town?" Luo Xi summarized.

Zhang Zhe nodded, but quickly added, "In the Game Hut, Fairy Tale Town is just a one-way entrance and you can't leave. But if the so-called 'Mayor' you mentioned can forcibly issue entry tickets to others from the outside, then the witches must have left at least one exit. I guess it should be in node 7, because that's the witches' headquarters."

Luo Xi nodded: "Understood."

Next, Luo Xi continued to talk with Zhang Zhe, learning about the past and current state of Fairy Tale Town.

The night quickly passed.

"I suggest you go find Dou Dou," Luo Xi said, getting up. Remembering this matter as he was leaving, he decided to give a reminder.

"I will go find her, alas, she always likes to act according to her own nature, and doesn't listen to my arrangements at all. She acts very rashly. Now it's all over, she's entered Fairy Tale Town and I'm afraid she'll never get out," Zhang Zhe said, feeling both angry and helpless, like watching a rebellious daughter in her adolescence, both worried and annoyed.

"Actually, Dou Dou is pretty good, loyal and righteous," Luo Xi said before walking out.

"I'll go with you," Zhang Zhe hurriedly followed out. Once outside, he found a few tavern employees and gave them some instructions, then pulled Luo Xi out the door.

It was already dawn.

Since there was a carriage, naturally they took the carriage.

"If there are no accidents, Dou Dou should come to node 2," Luo Xi reminded again at this time.

The reason was very simple. Since the initial nodes are all number 0, and among the number 1, 2, and 3 tickets that can be obtained in node 0, in terms of ease of acquisition, there is no doubt that the number 2 ticket is the easiest.

You only need to catch a 'Little Red Riding Hood' and sell it to the forest merchant to exchange for a number 2 ticket.

Based on Luo Xi's understanding of Dou Dou, there was an 80%, no, a 90% chance that she would obtain a number 2 ticket and come to node 2.

Of course, the timing was uncertain.

Hearing Luo Xi's analysis, Zhang Zhe was stunned, and immediately instructed the coachman to send out the new orders.

With a carriage available, there was naturally no need to worry about being questioned by patrolling guards, so Luo Xi asked Zhang Zhe to arrange for the carriage to drive around the area.

This also allowed him to sort out his thoughts.

Zhang Zhe had already explained the Witch Alliance in detail.

In the beginning, node 28 had an accident, followed by nodes 7 and 13.

The fairy tale plots of these three nodes are 'The Little Mermaid', 'The Wizard of Oz', and 'Sleeping Beauty' respectively. All three plot nodes have 'witches' in them. Originally, these witches were fixed characters in the scene, like NPCs in a game, who would only act according to the written script.

But one day, some witches began to 'awaken'.

Immediately afterwards, a 'Tide of Awakening' swept through all the nodes in the entire Fairy Tale Town.

This was the reason for the changes in Fairy Tale Town.

Now, many of the witches in the plot nodes no longer act according to the established character script, but according to their own preferences. They think, weigh the pros and cons, and then unite to fight for benefits.

If it was just like this, it wouldn't really be considered the so-called 'awakening'.

The real problem lies in.

"They realized that they were not real existences, but just 'characters' in a created scene."

This is the key.

"They shouted it out themselves."

Then this matter is very interesting.

Luo Xi clearly remembered that when he talked with Teacher Han before, the other party also mentioned this word.

At that time, Teacher Han said that it was what the former self had told the other party, and then repeated it verbatim.

"The 'Tide of Awakening' is over, the 'Breaking Cocoon Plan' begins."

This was clearly the first step of the plan that the former self had formulated.

Is it a coincidence?

Fairy Tale Town is a super-large scene.

It exists independently of the Day of Imprisonment, but many of its mechanisms are actually based on the settings of the Day of Imprisonment, and can even be completely understood as a small 'Day of Imprisonment'.

Could it be said that a 'Tide of Awakening' has also occurred here?

Then wouldn't the next step be to enter the 'Breaking Cocoon Plan'.

"No, this is not a coincidence, but someone deliberately did it. Because this place was created by me, based on this premise, Fairy Tale Town may be a large-scale test site, a laboratory used to 'simulate' a certain situation."

After realizing this, Luo Xi's views and opinions on the entire Fairy Tale Town were completely different from before.

Just then, Luo Xi's nose twitched.

"Stop the car!"

The coachman immediately reined in the two horses pulling the carriage.

Zhang Zhe looked outside.

"This is a small commercial street, located at the junction of the north and south of the city, but I happen to have one here..."

Just as he was introducing her, he noticed Luo Xi staring at a flower shop outside.

Zhang Zhe was stunned.

"What 'ally' do you have?" Luo Xi asked.

"I have an... 'ally'!"

There was more than one flower shop on this street, but Ailina's flower shop had the best business.

Because her flowers always bloomed vibrantly.

Even if it was the same pot of flowers, the ones at her shop entrance were more vibrant and beautiful than those at other shop entrances.

The brown-haired girl in a plaid skirt saw Luo Xi and immediately became angry.

"How dare you stay out all night? Where's the other person?" Ailina asked with her hands on her hips, but she immediately saw Zhang Zhe, and her expression changed slightly, especially when she discovered that the famous bar owner was actually walking with that guy named 'Hans' or 'Charlie', she felt something was wrong.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu吧!

"Ailina, you've become even more beautiful!" Zhang Zhe greeted with a smile.

He was a bit pretentious, but it was obvious that he was doing it for Luo Xi's benefit.

Showing that he had a very special relationship with her.

"Thank you, but I still won't spend a pleasant evening with you," Ailina said smoothly, obviously not saying it for the first time.

"That's your loss." Zhang Zhe was like a playboy at this moment, but he probably quickly noticed Luo Xi's presence and immediately restrained himself: "Ailina, let's go to your place, I have something to talk to you about, it's been a while since I've had your flower tea, her craftsmanship is very good, unique."

The last sentence was obviously addressed to Luo Xi.

This made Ailina extremely surprised.

She had been here for a long time and naturally knew the bar owner's power.

In the witch alliance's intelligence network, the bar owner was definitely a powerful enemy, and for the 'awakened' witch sisters, they naturally knew that the bar owner was once the 'ruler' of this false world.

Even now, the alliance still has a 'high reward' posted, and whoever can kill the bar owner will receive extremely generous rewards.

However, high-level witches cannot enter this city, and mid- and lower-level witches simply cannot kill the bar owner.

In the end, a certain balance was formed.

It can be said that the bar owner has a very high status and an extraordinary identity.

But such a person was now walking beside another person, and, half a step behind.

Ailina could see that the bar owner was doing it on purpose, and that his tone of voice was very careful and cautious.

This illustrated a fact.

This person was very important in the bar owner's heart, even as humble as facing a leader.

This immediately aroused Ailina's curiosity.

Behind the flower shop was Ailina's living room and reception room, not large, but decorated very warmly, with flowers on the round table and on the walls, filling the room with fragrance.

The tea brewed with water boiled in a small fireplace was mixed with pickled flower petals, as well as wheat and honey, and the taste was indeed good.

"Ailina is a exiled witch, she has a resounding name: Ailina the Exile!" Zhang Zhe formally introduced her, which was obviously the 'ally' he had mentioned before.

"Who is he?" Ailina sat in the chair, folded her arms, and looked wary, with a very serious expression.

"My name is Luo Xi!" Luo Xi introduced himself.

Zhang Zhe added beside him: "The creator of this world!"

"What?" Ailina immediately widened her eyes, even startled and stood up, the stool under her buttocks swayed, almost falling down.

"Ailina, you were once a member of the Witch Alliance, you must know a lot about the core witches in the alliance, if possible, I need you to provide some information about those witches, of course, I won't let you work for nothing, you can ask me for anything you want." Luo Xi also went straight to the point at this time.

Ailina on the opposite side had already smoothed out the surprise on her face, she stared at Luo Xi carefully: "Are you really the Creator God?"

"To be precise, a scene designer, of course, you can call it anything, it all means the same thing." Luo Xi smiled.

"Why did you create this place?" Ailina asked this question without thinking, obviously, she, or 'they', had long wanted to know the answer.

"This is work, just like you are now the owner of a flower shop, running this flower shop well is your job, essentially what I do is the same as you." Luo Xi gave an answer in an interesting way.

"Then, who exactly are we?" Ailina's second question also came without thinking, obviously, she, or 'they', had long wanted to know the answer.

"Pawns... or toys..." Luo Xi said frankly.

"Get out!" Ailina was directly furious after hearing this, a terrifying force was condensing behind her, that was magic, and this force made her look completely different from before, not only was the light in the room absorbed by her, causing other places to fall into darkness, but also her hair began to flutter, and lightning seemed to jump in her pupils.

Zhang Zhe protected Luo Xi in front.

"Ailina, I thought you were someone who could take a joke."

"Get out!" Another burst of shouting.

Outside the flower shop, Luo Xi walked out, got into the carriage, and Zhang Zhe followed closely behind.

"Just now, it was indeed a bit dangerous, but why provoke her?" Zhang Zhe didn't understand.

"She's a spy sent by the witches, you can't tell?" Luo Xi glanced at him.

"I already knew that, but there's no need to specifically provoke her, we haven't asked anything yet, and why reveal your identity? This is completely self-destructive, I'm worried they will attack you."

"At any time, danger and opportunity coexist, and I need to send a message to the witches, as for what I want to know, her reaction is already an answer!"
