Chapter 268: Picking up the tattered little fat man
"Mother, the prince in the castle is going to hold a ball, and we need more money to buy a decent set of clothes, and yes, a carriage."
"Don't worry, my lovely little daughter, as long as we chop up the two people you deceived and sell them to the dwarves in the forest, we will almost have enough money. That fat man has a lot of meat."
"It's not enough. It would be nice if that dead old woman in the forest would lend us the money. It's really troublesome. Maybe we should think of some other ways to get her money."
The fat man was lying on the door, listening to the sounds outside with a livid face.
minced?!
He has never heard of Cinderella in fairy tales having such a skill!
"She, she, she... forget about her trafficking in people, why are she still killing people and selling them again?" The male model was also lying on the door, stammering as he spoke.
Because it got dark too quickly, the two of them had not had time to light the lamp. At this time, the two fat men were clinging to the door in the dark room and eavesdropping, not daring to make any louder sounds.
"And...do dwarfs eat people?" the male model was still stuttering.
If he hadn't seen him speak normally, Fatty would have thought he was a stutterer.
The fat man covered his mouth: "Stop making any sound!"
He was really afraid that the male model would accidentally lose control of his volume and be noticed by the two people below.
Fatty doesn't remember that the plot of Cinderella is like this, but since the name of this dungeon is "Honkai Fairy Tale City", then this must be the Honkai Fairy Tale World.
It's just that this is a little too broken...
At this moment, the sound of something blunt being rubbed against the ground suddenly came from downstairs.
The fat man listened carefully for a few seconds with a blue face. It seemed like someone was dragging an ax and walking on the ground.
There is no need to think that this voice must be coming towards them.
The mission is to escape from this collapsed fairy tale world, but now they have no clues at all!
And you have to be alive to escape from this hellish place!
But now they are about to be chopped into pieces by Cinderella!
Fatty has not experienced too many dungeons so far, but there are definitely quite a few. This is the first time he has encountered a dungeon like today where he is in danger of being chopped into pieces from the very beginning.
In panic, the fat man looked around and focused on the only window in the room.
After seeing this window, he suddenly remembered something and took out a blue book with his backhand.
[The law of immortality when the protagonist jumps off a cliff]
[Function: When the holder falls from a height while holding this cheat book, there is a 60% chance that he will not suffer any damage]
This book was originally a special item that Gu Mian got in the copy of "Strange Train Escape".
Not to mention 60%, even if there is a 99% chance that he will not be harmed, Gu Mian will still belong to the remaining 1%, so this is equivalent to waste to him.
So Gu Mian threw this thing directly to the fat man. He thought that the fat man should have better luck.
The fat man's hand actively grasped the [Law of Immortality for the Protagonist Jumping off a Cliff] in his hand: "Even if I accidentally belong to the 40%...but the doctor also gave me another piece of trash!"
【Wiya in disrepair】
The function is to hang people, but it is very likely to break in mid-air.
Put these two things together, tie the wire first, even if the wire breaks halfway, he still holds the [Law of Immortality for the Protagonist Jumping off a Cliff] in his hand.
You can never lose two items at the same time.
The hottest male model in history next to him was still nervously listening to the sounds outside. It seemed that the ax was coming upstairs!
At this time, the fat man had quickly ran to the window.
It's strange that it has just darkened not long ago, but at this time the moon has already risen to a very high altitude.
But the fat man had no time to care about this. He eagerly opened the window and looked down, as if he wanted to estimate the height of the window to the ground.
But the moment he stretched out his head to look at the ground, all the blood seemed to freeze.
An icy cold air hit his face, making the fat man breathless.
The windows on the second floor are not too far from the ground, and there is soft grass below, so you won't be hurt even if you jump.
The problem lies elsewhere.
My sister is below.
The two sisters looked up expressionlessly in the darkness, standing directly under the window and staring blankly up at it for who knows how long.
If you jump now, you will be courting death.
The fat man had no choice but to step back. Unexpectedly, someone was already waiting by the window. If he jumped down, he would definitely be caught!
Normally, if he were allowed to jump into the arms of two beautiful women, he would definitely be happy, but this time was different from the past.
The two beauties below are not good at first glance!
Thinking of this, the fat man shrank and secretly took out another thing.
It was also given to him by Gu Mian.
【Penguin brand emergency syrup】
Taking out this item will attract a lot of hatred, but if you throw it out, it can stop the things chasing you for half a minute.
No matter it is a human, a ghost, a cat or a dog, even if you are a suspect, the police chasing you must stop obediently.
Now the fat man suddenly discovered that all his special items were not wanted by the doctor. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was just a little boy picking up garbage, and his life was extremely vicissitudes.
But now is not the time to let him suffer.
He held the emergency syrup tightly in his hand, thinking that he would throw it out immediately after Cinderella chased her with her axe.
The harsh "squeaking" sound is getting closer and closer.
The two people inside heard the ax being finally dragged up the stairs and stopped at the door of their room.
Coming in soon...
The two of them pressed their backs against the wall opposite the door, swallowing their saliva silently.
The fat man held the syrup in his hand for a long time until his palms were covered in sweat, but there was no movement at all outside.
Just when the two of them almost thought that the ax outside had left, the door was suddenly pushed open a crack with a creak.
It was dark inside, but candlesticks were lit in the corridor outside.
A dazzling light shone in from the crack, and a face stood in the middle of the crack in the door, staring at the two people inside.
This face was a little pale when illuminated by the candlestick outside, and looked extremely sinister. It was nothing like Cinderella's gentle and lovely face during the day.
But it is indeed the same face.
The fat man nervously held the [Penguin Brand Emergency Syrup] in his hand, ready to throw it out at any time.
But at this moment, the slit under the nostrils of this face suddenly opened and closed: "You are very lucky, I need you to help me with something."
It's getting dark.
I don't know why, but it's still warm here during the day, but it becomes very cold when night comes.
And the night seems to be very long, at least much longer than the short day.
The dwarf's home is a wooden house, which is not big. It is more than enough to accommodate seven dwarfs, but if you add Snow White and Gu Mian, who is carrying a big guitar, it will be a bit crowded.
The furniture here is very mini, and even the chairs are about the same size as a small stool. Gu Mian doesn't dare to use force to sit on the chair under her, for fear of accidentally breaking something and needing to pay for it.
At this time, Gu Mian had no consciousness of making other people's rooms too crowded. He was sitting at the dining table, looking at his own small bowl in front of him.
The small bowl was filled with gurgling broth, with pieces of meat floating on top. The boiling aroma filled the nose, stimulating one's taste.
The dwarfs' dining table is a long table, so that the seven dwarfs and the eldest princess can sit down.
Gu Mian was sitting next to the princess's seat.
At this time, the princess was serving soup in the kitchen, while several dwarfs were talking to Gu Mian about things in the woods.
"Guest, you must not know the situation in our forest." The dwarf holding the shovel sat opposite Gu Mian.
For some reason, these dwarfs didn't even take off their tools when eating. Gu Mian suspected that they would even sleep with this thing in their arms.
Sitting next to Gu Mian was a dwarf carrying a pitchfork. Gu Mian was not going to ask each of them their names, and these dwarfs happened to have different tools. Gu Mian simply named them with the tools in her mind.
Already.
Shovels, axes, hammers, pitchforks, sticks, bows and arrows, and saws.
Pitchfork opened his mouth: "Little Red Riding Hood's family lives not far from us. Little Red Riding Hood's family only consists of her and her grandmother. Her grandmother is a very wealthy person. It is said that her assets can buy half of the castle.
"
At this time, Ax suddenly spoke: "But Little Red Riding Hood said that they have been threatened by werewolves recently. I heard that she often sees werewolves wandering not far from her home. I don't know why there seem to be a lot more werewolves during this time..."
Gu Mian remembered the Little Red Riding Hood she saw during the day. She seemed to be looking for something, and her whole body was in a panic.
"There is a villa far away from us, where a woman and her three daughters live. I heard that the lady doesn't like her little daughter very much. We often see her picking up dead branches outside."
Cinderella?
Gongjian asked curiously: "By the way, guest, the prince in the castle will hold a banquet soon. Are you going to the banquet too?"
This is indeed a Cinderella story.
So this dungeon combines many fairy tales into a world view?
Gu Mian touched his chin, you wouldn't believe me if I said I was thrown in here in a daze.
He thought for a while and then nodded, yes, I am here to attend the banquet.
Maybe he can try on Cinderella's dropped glass slipper or something.
Regardless of this for the time being, the dwarfs all introduced Gu Mian to the situation in the forest. They seemed to be a little hungry, so they drank all the broth.
When the dwarfs drank the broth and were wiping their mouths, they found that the bowl in front of Gu Mian had not moved at all.
"Drink, drink--"
The dwarfs raised their hands and made neat movements. They looked at Gu Mian eagerly, as if they were very eager to let him drink the bowl of soup.
This scene is very strange.
Gu Mian looked at the seven people staring directly at her without moving.
At this moment, Snow White from the kitchen suddenly came out with a bowl of soup.
She put the soup in her hand on her place, then looked at Gu Mian: "This guest, I want to talk to you about something. Can you come with me alone?"
After saying that, she walked a few steps towards the door of the room next to her, then looked back at Gu Mian, as if gesturing for him to follow.
Gu Mian glanced at Snow White, and then at the dwarf who was still sitting there, staring straight at her.
There is something strange about these dwarfs. Sometimes they are like soulless puppets, even the range of their movements is exactly the same.
strangeness……
Gu Mian stood up while thinking about it and walked towards Snow White's room.
