Chapter 292 Guests in the Fireplace
Luo Xi continued to ask.

"Besides 4, 5, and 6, what other ticket numbers can be obtained here?"

"No more." The receptionist shook her head.

"Is there nothing, or are these the only things that can be announced?"

"No, but it seems that node 6 can get tickets for nodes 9 and 10. However, we don't have much information about that side, and we can't guarantee its authenticity." The female receptionist looked at Luo Xi with amusement.

Luo Xi heard something from the receptionist's words.

"Dark Furnace, are you not going to clear the level?"

"Clearance?" The female receptionist smiled, then asked several questions in return: "Isn't this place good enough? Although the sense of time is hundreds of years different from the outside, life is not bad. Why do you have to pass the customs? Do you like escaping from one cage to another? They are all cages, so does it matter where you stay?"

These questions are very well asked.

Luo Xi therefore looked up to the female receptionist.

However, we still have to refute what needs to be refuted. It has nothing to do with right or wrong. It is simply a habit.

The silver coins on the table sparkled with reflections.

These silver coins can be used to buy a lot of things in the city. After all, no one doesn't want to live a better life.

The receptionist stared at the silver coins, her pretty eyebrows furrowed, very seriously, as if she was thinking about something, and looked like she was in a daze.

The chair across from the table was empty.

The person opposite has already left.

Someone in the pub who was familiar with the waitress noticed her abnormality.

"What's wrong with you? Are you horny?" A man sat down opposite her.

The man looked very rough. He was holding a wine glass in his hand. The liquid inside exuded the aroma of malt.

“Because the other cage is closer to the window into reality,” the receptionist muttered.

"What did you say?" The man was stunned. He found that his female companion was in a very abnormal state.

"Nothing!" The receptionist shook her head, as if she had gotten over the previous question. She stretched out her white fingers and picked up the silver coins on the table one by one.

"Coins of unknown origin can be turned into cards. Where did that person get them from?" The female receptionist held a silver coin in her hand and turned it into a card with a flip of her fingers.

"Maybe it's a certain node. You know, the number of nodes here is countless. No one knows how many there are, and most of the nodes are unfamiliar to us. These nodes are connected in series to form a huge, inescapable maze. Fortunately, we still have this bar. Life is pretty good." The man smiled and drank the beer in the glass in one gulp.

Then he let out a comfortable hum.

"Okay, it's time to go to work. If the boss finds out that we're slacking off, he might impose some kind of punishment on us, and then we'll be in trouble."

"I know. Oh, by the way, what about Gray Shadow? He hasn't been in good shape recently, and the boss seems a little dissatisfied with him."

"Who knows what that guy is thinking? Last time, he actually killed a customer. He is really crazy!"

The man cursed.

He seemed a little tipsy.

The receptionist rubbed her brows with her fingers, then whispered, "Gray Shadow, he seems to have set his sights on that."

The man was stunned. He was a little confused at first, but soon realized something. He leaned forward and lowered his voice as well: "You mean, Cinderella? No way, he can't tell what is real and what is illusion?"

"He doesn't admit it, but I'm a woman, so I can tell." The female receptionist sighed, "It's good that you know this. The three of us came here together. Gray Shadow is very capable, and even if the boss has a problem with him, he won't punish him rashly. But you, did you find anything when you went to Node 6 this time?"

"Discovered? Ha, I was almost hacked to death by those bandits. Damn, that place is too dangerous. Compared to that place, I prefer here, the bustling city, beautiful women and good wine." The man smiled.

"Be careful. You know the boss's temper. If there is no progress, he might do something to you."

"I'm not afraid." The man said through gritted teeth. Although he said this, it can be seen that he still cares about this matter very much.

There were very few pedestrians on the street, and even if there were some, they were rushing back.

Luo Xi is very fast.

Finally, before the clock struck eight, he returned to the house where Cinderella was.

Luo Xi also took a special look in the direction of the roof.

He felt that the man in gray was staring at him from above.

At this time, there was a noise in the back alley. Luo Xi went over to take a look and found that it was Cinderella's stepmother and two sisters who got on their family's carriage. The carriage then drove away quickly, and the horse's hooves made a crisp sound on the brick floor.

"Are you going to attend the royal ball?"

Luo Xi knows the plot.

I also know that if nothing unexpected happens, tonight, Cinderella, also known as Cinderella, will meet the fairy godmother who appears from the fireplace, and get beautiful clothes and crystal shoes, as well as the magical pumpkin carriage.

It is obvious that ordinary people are not allowed to stroll around in the city at night, but the powerful are not restricted and can come and go freely.

But it’s a good thing that the three stepmothers left.

Luo Xi entered the house easily.

In the back room, Luo Xi heard a young girl's voice. "You are right, Mr. Lion, I... I do think so. Although, I think it is wrong to think so."

"Why do you think it's wrong to think this way? You're not the one who did anything wrong, why are you blaming yourself? Hey, let me ask you, is this house yours? Your dad, no, your father left it to you. Your stepmother, and those two damn sisters, do they treat you as family? No, what family, do they treat you as a human being? They wish you were dead. If it were me, I would have chopped off the heads of the three of them with a knife long ago!"

The voice of a mad lion, and it was obvious that this guy was very serious about "guiding".

"Ah, how can you do that? It's wrong to hurt others."

"Oh, it's wrong for you to hurt them, but it's right for them to hurt you? No one has such a perverse logic. As I said before, the three of them eat your food and use your things, but they still bully you. Why? Girl, listen to me. You can't have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. Good people are often bullied, and good horses are often ridden. You have to stand up."

When he heard this, Luo Xi knew that leaving Crazy Lion alone would be a bad move.

This guy is actually trying to trick Cinderella here.

Luo Xi took a sneak peek.

Cinderella sat over there, opposite to the Lion.

This guy is just sitting on a chair and talking nonsense so openly.

Luo Xi was very curious, with what identity did this Crazy Lion appear in front of Cinderella without being suspected by the other party?

Then he instilled in Cinderella the idea of ​​'revenge'. At this moment, the mad lion talked much more than usual, with spit flying everywhere.

Suddenly, Luo Xi glanced to the side.

He knew there was someone behind him.

"You should try to persuade him. He is actually seeking death by saying this."

The voice of the man in gray always has a gloomy tone.

The sound is very small, but it can be heard clearly.

"You want to kill him?" Luo Xi asked back.

"Me? No, I am the supervisor of the Dark Furnace and will not interfere with the behavior of customers. Although we have already stated the code of conduct for customers before, there are still some guys who do things they know they should not do. For the sake of those gold coins, I will kindly remind her that she is coming soon, and she doesn't like anyone to teach her Cinderella bad things. This behavior is worse than bullying her directly."

Who's coming?

she?
Luo Xi was stunned.

But he immediately realized that the danger the man in gray mentioned might not be an exaggeration, because Luo Xi also noticed that dust seemed to have suddenly fallen on the fireplace over there.

It was as if something was coming out of the fireplace.

That’s right! Cinderella’s encounter with the Fairy Godmother happened when her stepmother and sisters left for the ball and Cinderella was sweeping the ashes. But this time, the Lion started to deceive her before she had finished sweeping the ashes.

But what is coming will come.

So this is the danger that Gray Clothes is talking about?
In the fairy tale, the Fairy Godmother is a key figure who teaches Cinderella and changes her destiny. Logically, such a character would not be... Wait a minute, this is not a real fairy tale world.

This is a fairy tale town.

The witch in the tinderbox may be a good person, Little Red Riding Hood has become a werewolf, and it seems reasonable that the fairy godmother is a murderer at heart.

And it was obvious that the man in gray was just planning to watch the show and had no intention of intervening.

At critical moments, you can only rely on yourself.

Luo Xi considered several possibilities in an instant and took out some cards.

He did not show up.

Because what the man in gray said was right, the person in the fireplace has already arrived.

As the ashes fell, a bunch of withered purple hair first appeared from the fireplace, followed by a face that seemed to be falling upside down. It should have been funny, but it actually looked very scary.

Not many people have that kind of pale face and cold eyes. Luo Xi has seen many vicious people, but very few have that kind of face.

Then an even more terrifying scene happened.

The other person's face turned 180 degrees like a disk, and the face that was originally upside down was now right side up.

But this guy's body hasn't come out yet.

So can we understand that the body is still in the fireplace? It is hard to imagine what the physiological structure that can make such a posture would look like.

The mad lion seemed to have sensed the danger as well.

This guy has an unimaginable combat awareness, and his sense of danger is completely instinctive.

A hand stretched out from the fireplace, holding a thin branch that seemed to be more than a foot long.

"Sleeping spell!"

Almost at the same time as the weird fairy godmother uttered the spell, Luo Xi also activated two [Counter Curse].

Because he didn't know whether the opponent's attack was directed at himself or the Mad Lion, he simply used two cards to fully cover the defense and counterattack.
