Chapter 317 The Fool’s Cage (11)
After helping the Torrances regain their room, there was no nonsense before paying.
As soon as the middle-aged couple entered the house, he closed the door, pulled Violetta aside and left.
This place is getting weirder and weirder!
Fu Qian thought as he walked along the corridor that the two of them stepped aside.
There is no doubt that the moment I saw the portrait of the Gritty family, I was contaminated by something strange.
This resulted in me not only being able to see living human rabbits, but also becoming increasingly unable to distinguish between humans and rabbits.
Before paying, I had deep doubts that my value would be lost if I chatted for a while longer.
The end result is just like the Torrances.
Fortunately, no other abnormalities have been found yet.
"Did you see what I did in there just now?"
He thought for a moment before paying and looked at Violetta.
"You're throwing apples for fun."
The little girl answered almost instantly.
It seems that Snow White is not affected.
Nod before paying.
"Are you scared?"
"Why are you afraid?"
The question before payment seemed a little strange to Violetta.
"Those monsters we met earlier still haven't found their mother for so long."
"It doesn't matter, I will definitely find it."
There was an indescribable confidence in Violetta's tone, as if she was sure that the sun would come out tomorrow.
"Because that's how the story goes. Snow White escaped from the castle and finally found her mother with the help of her friends."
Well, it seems that in this child's mind, everything in front of him is part of a fairy tale.
No matter how twists and turns there are in the middle, finding my mother is the inevitable outcome.
He didn't comment on this before, because at this time he discovered something more important - this endless corridor had actually become flat again.
This change seems to imply that the journey has reached a certain node.
The only bad thing is that after a few steps, the flat corridor splits into two, leading to two directions.
Standing at this three-way intersection, even Violetta hesitated, not knowing which way to choose.
The protagonist is lost?
It seems that my friend is going to come on stage.
Seeing that Violetta had lost her direction, Fu stepped forward and looked around.
Unfortunately, this is essentially a passage extending to both sides, and there is really no difference at first glance.
I was about to go to the front to take a look when I noticed something strange before paying.
Silently, a red figure appeared in one of the corridors, only a dozen steps away.
The round-faced scarecrow is here again?
Fu Qian was frowning when his sleeve was pulled.
Looking back, Violetta made a silent gesture again, dragging Fu to the other side.
call!
After walking for a while, she found that the scarecrow had not followed, and Violetta breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought you weren't afraid?"
He looked at her funny before paying.
"It's about not being afraid."
The little girl shook her head and spoke harshly.
"But it's really ugly and it keeps following me."
"Oh? Have you seen it many times?"
Before paying, I subconsciously slowed down.
"Well, you saw it in the car before, right? It had been following me before that, and then I got into the car and was discovered by it."
That’s it!
Fu Qian looked back at the scarecrow in the distance and couldn't help but think of another possibility.
Could it be that this thing is not here to arrest people, but to show the way?
After all, according to Violetta, the Scarecrow had been following her before she met the Torrances. If he really wanted to harm her, he shouldn't have waited until now.
And thinking about it carefully, when they were in the car, its appearance directly caused the Torrances to get lost, and then drove the car here.
"stop!"
The more Fu Qian thought about it, the more he thought it was possible, and he directly signaled Violetta to stop.
"I think your mother is more likely to be in that direction."
Facing the other party's big confused eyes, Fu Qian pointed in the opposite direction.
"Why?"
Violetta was obviously resisting, but she didn't forget to lower her voice.
"I'm just making a guess, so you stand here and don't move. I'll come as soon as I go."
Fu Qian patted her shoulder and motioned her to stay where she was and not move.
He quickly walked up to the scarecrow, and this was the first time Fu Qian had such close contact with it.
From this angle, the scarecrow is not very tall. His head is sewn out of a whole piece of white cloth. Even the red coat on his body has very rough stitching.
Of course none of this matters.
The important thing is that I am standing here, it is still motionless, like a real scarecrow.
The possibility is getting bigger and bigger, at least if you choose one of the two, it feels like the probability of going this way is obviously higher.
He thought about it before paying, and instead of directly calling Violetta over, he returned along the original route.
"Let's go over there."
"But I'm...a little scared."
Violetta's voice was full of grievance.
"It doesn't matter, it's normal for Snow White to be scared."
Fu Qian did not mock her for her inconsistency.
"But I am a doctor. One of the important functions of friends is to help the protagonist gain courage at critical moments."
"As a cosmic friend, I will help you eliminate fear and grow."
…
Violetta, whose palms were sweating as she seemed to understand Fu Qian's words, was pulled forward.
What is gratifying is that the Scarecrow still has no reaction to her arrival.
After quickly passing by, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief visibly.
"That's right, it won't hurt you."
Fu Qian comforted him with a smile, while the latter nodded repeatedly.
After turning a few more corners, something different finally appeared in front of them.
The corridor actually came to the end, and at the deepest point was a solid black wooden door.
"Where are your keys?"
Before paying, I walked to the door and checked.
"here."
Violetta had come to her senses and quickly took out the golden key from before.
"There should be no problem."
Before paying, I took the key in my hand, compared it briefly, inserted it directly into the keyhole, and tried to turn it.
With a click, the door lock opened.
"You stand behind me."
Before paying, he said to Violetta who looked excited.
Um.
The little girl was still very sensible. Although she could not hide her excitement about finding her mother, she was still very obedient and let Fu Qian stop her.
After she hid, she put her hands forward and slowly pushed open the door in front of her.
Following his movement, a bright light came out, swallowing up the figures of the two people.
"Violetta..."
In the midst of the illusion, Fu Qian heard someone calling softly.
When the light faded, he found that he was inside a certain room.
But the mother in Violetta's photo was not in the room.
Instead, there was a group of people squatting or standing, surrounding Violetta in the middle.
This is--
When I saw their faces clearly, I couldn't help but look confused even before paying.
A roomful of cakes?
