Chapter 263 Being Cheated

According to the rules on the admission ticket and the horror legends about the "Fairy Tale Town" told by Lin Qiqi and the others, anyone who meets the "Mayor" will receive an admission ticket.

After getting the admission ticket, no matter which door you open next, you can directly enter the "Fairy Tale Town".

This is clearly a violation of the laws of the physical world.

But during the days of confinement, the so-called "laws of physics" did not exist at all. It was not uncommon for different areas to communicate with each other through "doors", a medium known to the public.

Many level scenes are constructed using this method.

For example, after entering a door, you find that the actual scene area inside is much larger than you thought. Another example is that the scene inside obviously does not conform to the characteristics of the building where the entrance is located.

A very simple example is the "haunted house escape" scene in Doudou Game House. After entering, the scene inside is very large, completely like an ancient courtyard, corridor garden, hall rockery.
These cannot be built in one building.

Another example is the "Haunted Mansion" where the "day" and "night" scenes rotate.
The "door" is like a magical and strange bond that can connect two different locations or even different dimensions of space together, creating interconnection.

But at this moment, Luo Xi thought that after opening the door, he would see a gloomy and terrifying fairy tale town outside, or an area that was obviously different from the alley outside the Bikini Bottom Card Shop.

But outside, there was that alley.

"strangeness!"

To verify, Luo Xi stepped out and looked around.

It was indeed the entrance to the Bikini Bottom card shop. Although the sky was gloomy, there was no problem.

"Could it be that there is something wrong with this door? Because it is damaged, it cannot serve as a medium connecting different areas?" Luo Xi muttered to himself. He thought about it, turned around, opened the door, and prepared to call Lin Qiqi and the others to come out and take a look.

But when he opened the door again, Luo Xi was stunned.

The Bikini Bottom card store was empty, with no one in sight.

He immediately went into the store and looked around.

Indeed, there is no one.

Walking to the cashier counter, Luo Xi looked at the bloodstains remaining on the table and reached out to touch them.

It didn't dry up.

Liu Rong, the hyena and the mad lion were also missing.

Luo Xi took out his phone and dialed Lin Qiqi's number. At the same time, he took out the "admission ticket". The phone prompt said that the call could not be connected, and Luo Xi also found a seal on the back of the admission ticket that had not been there before.

"Is this volume invalid?"

When he checked it before, there was definitely no seal saying "This ticket is invalid" on the admission ticket. Luo Xi was sure of that.

Seeing the word "invalid", even Luo Xi was stunned for three seconds.

"How did the mayor do that?" Luo Xi frowned and carefully examined the admission ticket in his hand: "Could the invisible person quietly mark the admission ticket in my pocket as 'invalid', or directly replace the admission ticket in my pocket?"

"I was deceived. That guy didn't want me to go to Fairy Tale Town at all!"

Luo Xi was a little angry.

He was actually deceived?

Although he can identify other people's lies and no one can lie to him, the invisible mayor of Fairy Tale Town is an exception.

Since you can't see the other person's expression at all, you naturally can't judge through details such as eye contact and micro-expressions.

Now Lin Qiqi's phone can no longer be reached, which means that she may have entered the "Fairy Tale Town" with others.

But Lin Qiqi and the others would not pass through the "door" without their own orders, let alone open it on their own. And Liu Rong and the three hyenas would not act rashly, so how did these living people disappear at the same time?
"Unless, the mechanism for opening the door is not limited to people with admission tickets, but also includes other people opening any door around. People with admission tickets will be drawn into the fairytale town. This also explains what Lin Qiqi said before, that those who have obtained admission tickets will not be able to escape no matter how they defend themselves."

The problem immediately became troublesome.

According to rumors, once you enter Fairy Tale Town, you can't get out and will be trapped inside forever, even if the cycle day is reset.

Luo Xi knew that Lin Qiqi was no ordinary person and was definitely in the first or second echelon among the Shiyi people.

But she is not herself.

"It's the same question again, why don't you let me go?" Luo Xi thought about this question again.

He had already reached some conclusions before, but the situation is different now. He must use this problem to think of how to enter Fairy Tale Town.

"An Zhiyan and Lin Qiqi's previous inference is indeed true, and it is very likely. But if I am not allowed to enter the 'Fairy Tale Town' again just because I have been there before, this statement is not reasonable. There is no rule on the admission ticket that I can only go once, and there is no such rule in various rumors. So there are only two possibilities for not letting me go. One is that I have been there, but because of what I did in the Fairy Tale Town, I am forbidden to enter again; the second is that I have never been there, but I am simply forbidden to enter the 'Fairy Tale Town'. If it is the first possibility, then I must go, because there may be clues in the Fairy Tale Town; if it is the second possibility, I must go even more, because the more the enemy does not allow you to do something, the more you must do it."

Now that we have a goal, the next step is to get things done.

Luo Xi pondered for a few minutes in the dilapidated card shop, then picked up the dead watchdog on the ground and walked out.

When he left, he also hung a sign saying "Closed" in front of the damaged door. "Excuse me, can you lend me a plastic bag?" Luo Xi asked the owner at the entrance of the alley, who was about to open the store. The owner wanted to refuse, but when he saw that the man in front of him was covered in blood, his eyes were indifferent but had a chilling temperament, and he was holding a dog's body in one hand, he decisively lent him a large plastic bag.

"Thank you!"

Luo Xi put the guard dog's body into a plastic bag and walked away.

This place is very close to the Sega apartment building. Luo Xi ran all the way over, went upstairs, entered an empty room, and then called Brother Mao and the others.

After a while, Mao Ge, Wu Rui, Guo Zening, Fatty Qian, and Ke Lan who had just returned from work came in one after another.

Luo Xi was washing her face. Blood-stained clothes were thrown on the chair next to her, and on the ground was the body of the guard dog still in a plastic bag.

The owner of this house is not at home, as is the case on every cycle day, so this place, along with several other rooms in the apartment building that are known to be uninhabited, becomes their place to gather, renovate, and discuss plans.

"What happened?" Brother Mao knew something big had happened when he saw the situation.

Wu Rui also walked over immediately, but after noticing that Luo Xi himself was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her head to look at the black Labrador in the clinker bag, and suddenly, she was stunned.

"This is not the one from Bikini Bottom Card Store"

Wu Rui had followed Luo Xi to Hao Xiuwen's place. Although the dog was covered in blood and was dead, it could still be recognized at a glance by the collar on its neck and some other features.

"Something happened in the card shop?" Wu Rui roughly guessed what happened. The dog was beaten to death, which meant that the enemy was very strong. You know, ordinary people in Shiyi are no match for this dog.

"Things are a bit complicated." Luo Xi had washed his face and wiped off the blood on his body.

He turned his head and glanced at a few people: "Have any of you heard of 'Fairy Tale Town'?"

Brother Mao, Guo Zening and Wu Rui were all confused.

They became memory collectors at the same time as Luo Xi. It can be said that if they had not followed Luo Xi, they would still be struggling on the "food and clothing line".

Some of them may not even survive to this day.

Of course I don’t know and have never heard of it.

But when Fatty Qian and Ke Lan heard the three words "Fairy Tale Town", their faces changed.

Obviously everyone has heard of it.

This is normal. Ke Lan is a memory collector with strong abilities in all aspects. Although he was a lone ranger before, he must have his own way of obtaining intelligence.

As for Fatty Qian, this guy always runs to places like the Time Gathering Hall when he has nothing to do. He knows what others know, and he also knows what others don’t know.

Luo Xi explained the general situation.

"Tell us everything you know about Storybrooke, even if it sounds suspicious or is considered false information."

The only ones who can provide information are Fatty Qian and Ke Lan.

The two thought about it and gave some information respectively.

"Luo Ju, 'Fairy Tale Town' is a level scene whose existence has not been confirmed. I have specifically asked around in the Time Assembly Hall before. Basically, no one has really experienced that level scene. All the information comes from other people's stories. But the weird thing is that those who clearly said that they met the 'mayor' and obtained the 'Fairy Tale Town admission ticket' have indeed disappeared. Of course, there are also some bragging people who said that they had obtained the 'admission ticket' and had been to 'Fairy Tale Town', but they were later proved to be lying and false!"

Fatty Qian is sharing and analyzing very seriously.

Because Lin Qiqi is missing.

Fatty Qian thought this matter was very serious and must be taken seriously. Moreover, Lin Qiqi was a member of their small group, so he was also very worried.

"But as far as I know, there are very few people who actually disappeared because of obtaining admission tickets, so a considerable number of people believe that 'Fairy Tale Town' does not exist at all, and is just someone's fantasy, or simply a lie."

"It turns out that it wasn't a lie." Luo Xi looked at Ke Lan, who said simply, "I once saw information about 'Fairy Tale Town' somewhere."

"Where?" Even Fatty Qian was shocked. He had no idea about this.

"In the Bean Playhouse in Rainbow City, there is a game called 'Travel in Fairy Tale Town', but this game has never been opened. I once asked the administrator there, and he said that the game has not been fully developed yet. But when I went there again later, I found that the area and entrance of this game had completely disappeared. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Later, I heard rumors about 'Fairy Tale Town' and wondered if the two were related. But you know, there is no point in exploring such things, so I gradually forgot about it."

Ke Lan told what he knew.

He then added, "By the way, I haven't seen the ticket to Fairy Tale Town yet, Boss, how about you take it out and let us open our eyes?"

Luo Xi took out the admission ticket with "This ticket is invalid" stamped on it from his pocket and handed it to Ke Lan. Fatty Qian and the others also hurried over to take a look.

"It really is. It's blood red, just like it's been soaked in blood."

"It also smells fishy, ​​and even the words on it are weird."

"I didn't expect this thing to exist. It gave me goose bumps."

"Wait a minute, I've seen this thing before." Wu Rui suddenly pointed at the admission ticket and said something.
