Chapter 285 Living 'Grandma'

Chapter 285 Living 'Grandma'

This forest is very big.

If you walk here for a long time, you will feel lost.

Also, no matter where I look, everything feels very similar, and I have an illusion of déjà vu.

“This is not an illusion!”

When Crazy Lion expressed his feeling, Luo Xi patted the sturdy man's arm.

"This is actually an almost identical forest, a scene that is seamlessly spliced ​​together. It looks huge, but in fact, it's just a shortcut." After Luo Xi finished speaking, An Zhiyan nodded behind him.

She also discovered the secret.

Crazy Lion couldn't help but interrupt and said that he didn't quite understand.

"You can think of this as a map made up of tiles. For example, each tile is a square area with a side length of 500 to 1,000 meters. In this area, there are trees, stones, undulating terrain, grandma's hut, and wandering werewolves. Then, four such tiles can form a large tile, nine such tiles can form a larger one, and so on."

"From what the hunters have said so far, we know that Grandma's cabin is at number 4. So, at least this is a 6×5 or 5× tile map. So, we just need to find new 'tiles' that others have not set foot on, and we should be able to make some discoveries."

The mad lion still didn't understand.

But An Zhiyan behind reacted.

"No wonder your route is L-shaped. In other words, you have already detected the number on at least one side of this tile map?"

"Yes, it consists of 7 tiles in total." Luo Xi nodded.

There is no need to hide this.

"But we haven't reached the border yet." An Zhiyan looked around.

"Because someone made this place into a 'sphere', using eternal night, forests, and foggy environments to confuse people, and using undulating terrain to cover it up. But if you only walk in one direction, you will actually only pass by seven identical 'tiles', which is the horizontal coordinate. In addition, if nothing goes wrong, the vertical coordinate will not exceed seven 'tiles'. I think it should be five. In other words, this scene is most likely a 7×7 map, a total of 5 tiles, and then surrounded by a sphere. Of course, it may not be a sphere, but a different way of folding space, such as the 'Mobius strip', but no matter what, the principle is the same."

"Wait a minute, you said before that there is a cemetery here, so where is the cemetery? Is it in every tile map?" An Zhiyan asked a question.

"No, there is only one cemetery, one hunter camp, and the same goes for forest merchants. The locations of these three places are fixed and are on three different tile maps. Therefore, most people will only move around these three tiles. The maps they have explored are limited. Let's take the sphere as an example. The northern hemisphere has been explored, and most people will only move around in this area. Because if they die, they will immediately return to the only cemetery to be resurrected. So if you want to find the grandmother's cottage that has not been set foot on, you can only go to the 'southern hemisphere'."

"I understand!" An Zhiyan nodded.

"I still don't understand!" Crazy Lion couldn't help but say.

"You don't need to understand, just listen to Big Brother."

"okay!"

There are many dangers on the road during this journey, and you may get caught if you are not careful.

Giant spiders, man-eating swamps, venomous snakes hiding behind leaves, waiting for their turn.
Each one could potentially send someone back to the cemetery.

In addition, every once in a while, you can hear singing coming from somewhere in the forest.

"Are there werewolves on every tile map?"

“That’s certainly the case at the moment.”

"Then how is it possible that there is a living 'Grandma'?"

"It's a small possibility, but it needs to be investigated. This should also be part of the game."

After a while.

"This forest is very quiet, there is no singing, and there is no smell." An Zhiyan still possesses the [Werewolf's Curse]. If she wants, she can even transform into a werewolf immediately. Naturally, she also possesses the unique abilities of a werewolf.

For example, a super sense of smell and perception.

She ran forward quickly at this moment, and then turned back quickly.

"Indeed, there is no Little Red Riding Hood in this area."

She is excited.

Because of this unexpected situation, there is a high probability of unexpected discoveries.

According to previous intelligence, 'Grandma' was most likely killed by a werewolf, so if there was no Little Red Riding Hood in an area, Grandma might not have died.

An Zhiyan immediately quickened her pace.

As for the 'tile area', she was naturally very familiar with it as she had followed Luo Xi for a long time. For example, she knew in which area Little Red Riding Hood was active and where her grandmother's cottage was.

Soon, the three found their grandmother's cottage.

Finally, I made a different discovery.

There was a light on in the hut.

This has never happened in the many grandmother's cottages I have encountered before.

"What should we do now?" An Zhiyan turned her head and glanced at Luo Xi.

"Put this on and go knock on the door." Luo Xi took out a red cloak from his arms.

For Little Red Riding Hood only.

I stripped it off the werewolf when I hunted it before.

An Zhiyan nodded, put on the blood-stained red cloak, and prepared to walk towards the cabin.

"Wait a moment." Luo Xi called her.

"What's wrong?" An Zhiyan was stunned. "Don't forget to sing."

"Oh~"

An Zhiyan walked over singing.

To be honest, this behavior is weird, but it is an indispensable and most important part of the plan of "Reshaping the Fairy Tale".

As she got closer to the cabin, she could even vaguely see a figure busy inside.

When An Zhiyan walked to the door, she reached out and knocked on it, then endured the discomfort and called out "Grandma".

Something strange happened.

Its daybreak!
The air is fresh, the grass is green, butterflies are flying, and the rotten, dark and moldy smell in the air disappears in an instant.

It was as if a certain dimension was switched in an instant.

While An Zhiyan was stunned, the door opened.

Inside, there was a kind-looking 'grandma'.

"Little Red Riding Hood is here. Grandma has been waiting for you for a long time. Come in quickly."

After entering the house, it was clean and tidy. On the table was the vegetable soup that had just been served. The aroma stimulated An Zhiyan, who already had superhuman perception.

So true.

It doesn't seem like an illusion.

At this time, [absolute rationality] came into play.

The surprise, discomfort, and accompanying fear caused by this sudden normal plot and scene were perfectly suppressed.

An Zhiyan did not make any mistakes in the chaos. She played the role of Little Red Riding Hood according to the script that had been prepared long ago. She asked her grandmother about her well-being. After a family dinner that was completely unreal, her grandmother smiled and talked to An Zhiyan. The breeze blew in from the window, birds were singing in the jungle, and the whole place was full of vitality. Everything was so warm and unreal.

However, An Zhiyan knew that all this was just because she triggered a certain "plot" in this scene.

But this feeling is really good.

She would take greedy deep breaths from time to time, and would lean back on the soft cushions to listen to a smiling old woman telling interesting stories.

"Okay, Little Red Riding Hood, it's time for you to go home. It will be dangerous in the forest when it gets dark." Grandma said at this time.

"Is the story about to end?" An Zhiyan didn't know what she should do.

In fact, she had analyzed it carefully and knew that she didn't need to do anything unusual and just had to follow the plot.

Go with the flow.

Any rash action will only lead to unpredictable consequences.

Grandma sent An Zhiyan to the door, and at this moment, she suddenly seemed to remember something.

"Little Red Riding Hood, wait a moment."

After saying that, grandma ran into the house and soon came out with a small basket.

"These are the vegetables and fruits picked by grandma herself. You can take them back for your mother to eat. Also, take the boat back early. Here is the ticket." As she said this, grandma took out a white ticket with a scarlet number '1' written on it and handed it to me.

An Zhiyan took it calmly.

"Thank you grandma, goodbye!"

"Goodbye, come visit grandma often."

The grandmother standing at the door waved to Little Red Riding Hood, who also looked back every few steps, and then slowly disappeared on the gravel path in the jungle.

Call ~
A gust of wind blew, and everything around returned to normal.

A cold and rotten smell, a forest of eternal night.

An Zhiyan looked around and found Luo Xi and Kuang Shi walking towards her.

"So, what is real?" An Zhiyan began to think about this question which should not be a problem.

At this time, Luo Xi and Kuang Shi had already approached.

An Zhiyan handed over the No. 1 ticket in her hand and asked, "How long have I been in there?"

"Less than a minute. To be exact, from the time you entered the door to the time it opened, it was a total of twenty-seven seconds." Luo Xi took the ticket and looked at it with a calm expression, neither surprised nor frustrated.

"But I felt like I was in there for two hours." An Zhiyan told the truth.

"Time illusion, mental influence, or maybe some kind of time law. The person who created the fairytale town is very unusual." Luo Xi took out the No. 2 ticket from before, put the two tickets together and looked at them: "No. 1, No. 2, then. Will there be No. 3?"

An Zhiyan was stunned: "What are you going to do? Kidnapping or murder?"

"You misunderstood." Luo Xi looked at An Zhiyan in surprise: "Do you think I would plot against that living grandmother?"

"Isn't it?" An Zhiyan asked back.

"Of course not!" Luo Xi shook his head: "You should be able to see that the scene designers here followed a principle. The boat tickets are bound to the characters in the fairy tale. One character is bound to a digital boat ticket. Grandma is number 1 and Little Red Riding Hood is number 2. So if there is a number 3 boat ticket, I think it should be related to the hunter, or the source of the curse that caused the werewolf curse to spread. Perhaps it is the 'big bad wolf' that has never appeared."

I have to say that Luo Xi's analysis was very organized and An Zhiyan couldn't find any fault with it.
