While Han Fei was still debating which pair of shoes to take away, the smell of burning garbage suddenly became strong in the air, and smoke drifted in through the cracks in the door.
"There's a fire outside?"
Taking away the shoes that his adopted daughter made for the sanitation workers, Han Fei quickly ran out of the secret room.
Firelight shone in the darkness, and smoke poured out from the stairs and filled the castle.
Rapid footsteps sounded, and three players, two men and one woman, ran into the hall. Their heads were covered with sweat and their expressions were very panicked.
"Did you set fire to the castle?" Han Fei walked out of the painting room and stared at the three players.
His sudden appearance startled the players. When they saw Han Fei's face clearly, their eyes were full of surprise: "Han Fei?! Didn't your Happy Community conquer the sixth level nightmare? Why are you in the first place?"
Appearing in the third-level nightmare?"
"This is the sixth level of nightmare!" Han Fei frowned.
His words made the three players panic. The female player seemed to have thought of something and her face turned pale: "I heard from my friends in the business alliance that at least five players will be found for every nightmare. The one you are trying to conquer is the sixth level nightmare.
If the number of people cannot be gathered, the shrine will randomly select players from the same building and increase the number of players entering the nightmare to five!"
"Is there another rule?" The nightmare must be activated when at least five players enter. For high-difficulty nightmares, top players not only have to face fear, but also have to be careful about being dragged down by newcomers, and Han Fei doubts that the nightmare is arranged like this.
It is to give those players who choose to join the Nightmare a chance to perform.
Players like Han Fei who plan to speed run alone did not know these group rules before: "Which guild do you belong to?"
"We are from a small casual guild. We are all friends in real life and like to take risks and solve puzzles." The voices of those players became lower in front of Han Fei.
"Did you set the fire?"
"No! We need to find the princess's glass slippers in the castle. The shoes haven't been found yet, how can we set fire to it?" The three players jumped directly from the third level of nightmare to the sixth level. After knowing this news, everyone was dumbfounded.
, everyone was panicked.
"You didn't set the fire. That means there is a fifth outsider in the castle, and the fifth player who entered the nightmare should be here too!" Smoke drifted out of the castle, and the heavy sound of horse hooves sounded on the street. Han
I didn't know the princess was coming back!
"Let's go!" Han Fei led the three players to jump out of the window. They felt that the ground was shaking now. The whole street was covered with dark curses, and Ping'an Street was like a flowing black river.
The tall black horse dragged the pumpkin carriage into the castle. The fire was out of control at this time, the white walls were scorched, and the raging flames spread rapidly.
No one from the surrounding merchants came out to help. They hid at home and happily watched the flames that lit up the night sky.
The fire quickly engulfed the entire castle, and the pungent smell of burning garbage became stronger in the air.
The favorite castle was burned down, a scream broke the calm of the night, the sound of horse hooves sounded, the princess stepped out of the pumpkin carriage, the firelight swayed on her silver mask.
The Black Knight rushed into the sea of fire, and in the end he only took out a few burned handmade shoes.
The top of the castle collapsed, and the flames twisted the building and the princess.
The frantic princess ordered the black knights to find the arsonist. They violently broke open the doors and dragged out the merchants inside.
Each of those merchants behaved extremely innocently. They had already discussed it and no one would admit it.
The home was burned down by fire, and the most precious things were burned to the ground. The princess's eyes became colder when she couldn't find the murderer. She walked out from behind the black knight and stood in front of the group of merchants.
"Who burned down my home?"
The princess's voice was very clear and moving, but she seemed unable to be strongly stimulated, and her body was a little distorted.
The merchants were trembling, but there was an old man who seemed to have had enough of the princess. He looked directly into the princess's eyes, raised his crutch and pointed at her: "The fire has nothing to do with us. Don't blame all your misfortunes.
On someone else!"
"My misfortune has nothing to do with you?" As if the skirt woven with crystal and silver wire fell to the ground, the princess took off her pure white gloves, revealing a blackened and deformed hand.
Han Fei, who was watching from a distance, stared at the princess's hand and had a very bad premonition in his heart: "When the fire broke out at the sanitation worker's house, his daughter was still at home?"
The gloves fell off, black flames burned on the skin, and the princess stretched out her ugly hands: "Isn't this your masterpiece?"
"I don't know what you are talking about? You lunatic, stop using your crazy words to gain sympathy from others!" The old man took a few steps forward: "Ping'an Street belongs to everyone, and you are not welcome here.
I hope you won’t stick around here anymore…”
The old man was very emotional, and he might have nothing to do with the fire, but in the middle of his words, someone among the merchants following him "accidentally" pushed him.
The old body fell forward, and the hands covered with flames grabbed the old man's shoulders.
Black flames instantly burned on the old man's body, burning his soul and causing him to scream in pain at the top of his lungs.
"He killed someone! The princess killed someone again!" The merchants fled in all directions, and Ping An Street was in chaos. It seemed that all misfortunes and disasters were caused by the princess.
The flames burned his body, and the old man rolled in pain on the street, but no one came out to help him, and no one spoke for him.
"Yes, it seems that as long as I touch you, you will blame all your faults on me! It seems that if you are touched by me, you will die!" The princess looked at her burned hands: "Since you always feel like this,
Then I might as well become such a person. Aren't you going around saying that I will kill people when I get sick? I will kill all of you tonight!"
After taking off the other glove, the flames burned along the princess's arms and on the princess dress. The bright gems and crystals turned into plastic residue in the black fire. The princess revealed her original appearance, which was a person whose whole body was burned.
monster!
"Burn you to death! Burn you to death!"
There was actually the sound of chains rattling in the flames, and the princess herself endured great pain when using the black fire.
The black knight followed the princess silently, unwilling to retreat even if he was burned by the flames. However, the mask covered his face, and Han Fei from a distance could not see the black knight's expression at this time.
The fire spread from the castle to the streets, and there were cries everywhere. The two brothers also ran out of hiding, and they were mixed in the back of the crowd: "Why can she still use fire after the glass slipper is burned? Those outsiders deceived
Killed us?"
According to the plan of the two brothers, the death of the clock shop owner will arouse public anger on the princess. As the glass slipper is burned, the princess's ability will be quickly weakened. At this time, all the merchants will join forces to kill the princess and take back Ping An Street.
.
"Why didn't the flames subside?"
The furious princess was like a lunatic. She went on a killing spree on Ping An Street and seemed to burn down the entire street!
"Han Fei, should we stop her?" The tall player was hesitant. He trusted Han Fei, but in this situation, if the princess was not stopped, the players would be burned to death by the princess. The nightmare was so big.
, there is no place to hide: "If we had burned the glass slippers before and joined forces with those merchants, would the outcome have been better?"
"If you really do that, you will definitely die miserably." Han Fei took out the photo album: "The owner of the nightmare is between the black knight and the princess. I used to think this was the princess' nightmare. After all, this place is like a ridiculous place.
A fairy tale. But now I have changed my mind. I am more inclined to think that this is the dream of the Black Knight."
Looking at the princess controlling the flames to massacre the streets, Han Fei recalled the very logical words the princess just said. These did not seem to be things a real "adopted daughter" would do. It was probably the daughter imagined by the adoptive father after losing his adopted daughter.
A princess who is no longer bullied and makes everyone fear her!
"The adopted daughter suffers from mental illness. Whenever the adoptive father is not at home, she will be secretly let out by the manager's children, causing chaos and making all merchants hate it. The adoptive father who is away does not know that the adopted daughter is let out by others, so he
That's why he humbly apologized every time. Later, when his adoptive father knew the truth, he must feel guilty in his heart. But simple guilt cannot breed such strong resentment, and it is far from the point of massacre. There must be something in between.
Something else happened!"
Han Fei looked at the burned body of the princess. When he glanced at the princess's wrists, he suddenly saw obvious marks of strangulation. Her wrists seemed to have been bound by something before. A terrible thought flashed through his mind. Han Fei thought
Seeing a possibility, he put away the photo album and ran towards the west side of Ping'an Street as fast as he could!
Passing by the madman who was completely naked and whose neck was chained, Han Fei entered the nearby wooden shed. He found a rope next to the pink bed belonging to the child.
"Perhaps it was because the adopted daughter would run out and cause trouble every time after her adoptive father left, so the adoptive father later tied her hands to the bedside? Or maybe the merchants on the street required the adoptive father to keep his adopted daughter at home during the day, and he couldn't
Affecting their business, the adopted daughter is only allowed to go out at night. No matter what the facts are, the end result is that the crazy girl cannot leave the house when the fire breaks out."
Han Fei looked out the window. Both the princess and the black knight hated the street manager very much, but even so, they still did not lock him in the house.
At first Han Fei thought this was a deliberate attempt to humiliate the manager, but now he realized that this was the princess's last act of kindness.
"Did what they did to managers also happen to crazy girls in reality?"
The madman who was tied up in chains, without any clothes on his body, and living like a dog seemed to be some kind of special hint.
"We have also been to this house. We heard from nearby merchants that the princess used to live there. The two children of the manager at that time were very naughty. They often played tricks on the stupid princess and used various methods to lure her out. One time, what happened to the two brothers when they met the princess?
They didn't even take the bait, and they threw her with an unextinguished cigarette butt..." The three players now regarded Han Fei as their only hope and pursued Han Fei closely.
"A cigarette butt that didn't go out?" All the clues were connected, and Han Fei knew the cause of the nightmare.
The firelight swayed outside the window, and screams were heard endlessly. The lunatic who was tied up in chains at the entrance of the alley struggled desperately, his face full of pain and fear.
"Are we going to be burned to death too? The princess is covered in black fire and can't get close at all. Is this the difficulty of the sixth level nightmare? Players can defeat the murderer in the first level nightmare together, and the imp in the second level nightmare
You can also use spells to seal it, but this princess ghost is simply ridiculously strong!" The players were very desperate: "We should find a way to burn the glass slipper, that is our only chance."
"I reiterate, this is not the nightmare of those merchants. Cooperating with them will only lead to death. Even if we can successfully kill the princess in the end, we have no way to leave. Those merchants will become new ghosts, making us part of the nightmare.
." Han Fei has always been sober: "The only way to break the situation is to surround the owner of the nightmare. Maybe we should give the crystal slipper made by the princess to the knight who loves her most, to help the knight not to be swallowed up by resentment."
"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand it at all?" The three players were all confused. This was different from the Cinderella fairy tale they had heard.
"The crystal shoes represent all the love of the adoptive father, and also represent all the love of the crazy girl for the adoptive father. The pair of shoes covered with her beloved stickers are the bond between the two incomplete souls." Han Fei began to move his body:
"How are you three physically?"
"We all put in average points, which may be better than ordinary people." The temperature is rising, thick smoke is billowing, and the fire is about to spread here.
"If you can, please help me attract the princess's attention while ensuring your own safety, and I will help them regain their sanity." Han Fei opened the door of the wooden shed, and Ping'an Street had turned into a sea of fire.
, there are businesses burning with flames everywhere, the princess is already red-eyed, and everything that moves is the target of her burning.
The dark smoke gathered into a huge evil ghost figure, and the resentment and vicious curses tried to swallow up the souls of the princess and the knight.
Taking a deep breath, Han Fei ran wildly in the fire and night. Under the shocked eyes of the three players, he rushed towards the flames!
