Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"really..."

"Without any 'fake' elements present, is it possible for a 'person' to enter the mirror?"

"..."

After a hazy white mist filled her vision, An Lan looked at the world reflected in the mirror.

He had thought that passing through the mirror would lead him directly to some so-called "good" world.

but...

otherwise!

The Mirror World has a total of fourteen mirrors!

Correct!

In an extravagantly large open-air palace, fourteen mirrors stand. Each pair of mirrors faces another, forming a seven-seven formation. Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that each pair of opposing mirrors shares a common characteristic!

for example...

The mirror that An Lan crawled through had a thick circle of lion's mane around its edge, except that the lion's mane had turned black and was curled up!

On the opposite side of this mirror is a mirror with orange fur and even a cute lion's tail.

In contrast, one is lifeless and gloomy, while the other is vibrant and sunny.

"so..."

"Is the world in the mirror a kind of transit station?"

"If I walk towards that lion's tail mirror, will I reach the real 'Beast Prince: Fairy Tale World'?"

While guessing, An Lan did not rush to the mirror opposite, but looked at the other mirrors instead.

Next to the lion's mane mirror is a mirror with lotus leaves growing from it and frames shaped like frog eyes. Behind this mirror is another mirror wrapped in a clump of long, black hair...

Then came a white horsehair mirror, a pumpkin-rimmed mirror, a mirror covered in fish scales, and... a mirror completely wrapped in pea vines!

Looking at these mirrors, An Lan opened her mouth, feeling that these mirrors should correspond to some of the more outstanding fairy tales in the [Fairy Tale World].

"perhaps..."

"Jiang Lai didn't walk out of the 'Beauty and the Beast' story area... Perhaps he used the mirror directly to go to the next story area?"

"The one closest to the [Lion Mirror] is..."

An Lan stepped towards the lotus leaf and frog eye mirror and tried pressing the frog mirror on the "dark side". This time, the mirror still rippled, but there was no suction force!

On the contrary—

The frog's eyes blinked in the mirror, and the mirror emitted a strange voice: "Humans, oh humans... tell me, where is the [Frog Prince]?"

"ha?!"

An Lan was startled by the sudden sound from the mirror. He looked at the [Frog Mirror] in disbelief and muttered, "[Magic Mirror]?!"

"Are you the Queen's Magic Mirror from Snow White?"

"..."

The mirror did not respond, but only rippled.

Where is the Frog Prince?

"..."

An Lan was speechless.

Ok!

It looks like this thing is designed as some kind of voice-activated switch?

(How the hell am I supposed to know where the "Frog Prince" is?)

An Lan stared at the mirror for a long time before finally walking back to the Lion's Tail Mirror...

[Heartbreaker: Wow, I've locked onto a fairytale world! There's a portal inside the mirror?! I love it!]

[Heartwarming Superhero: I remember the Frog Prince was in the palace well, wasn't he? The little princess lost her golden jewel and asked the Frog Prince to find it, right? The Frog Prince's curse is that he needs a friend, isn't it?]

[Happy Superman: Upstairs, you're overthinking it. That's a fairy tale, a dark fairy tale. Guess if the Frog Prince has already been eaten?]

[666... ​​So you're still stuck now, aren't you?]

Perhaps we could ask the Beast Prince, "Where is the Frog Prince?"

【...】

The live chat was also buzzing with activity at this time.

An Lan had already walked to the Lion Tail Mirror and placed her palm on the mirror surface!

"Buzz—"

The mirror trembled, and this time An Lan felt the familiar suction force again, and her whole body was pulled into the mirror!

When An Lan regained his sight, he found himself in a brightly lit [Collection Room].

It's almost identical to the previous [Fourth Floor], except that the [Collection Room] in front of us displays armor that is in pristine condition, a lifelike wax sculpture of a white horse, and even other items such as princess dresses and painters' brushes.

It looks like it has more to offer than the [Collection Room] over there.

Just as An Lan entered this place, the system notification rang in her ears again.

You have entered the world of "Grimm's Fairy Tales"!

This world is perfect; please do not reveal any information in this world. (Note: Happiness needs no disturbance.)

"this..."

"Does that mean we can't tell the people of this world what's happening in that 'evil world'?"

"Doesn't a perfect fairytale world need to be disturbed?"

Looking around, footsteps echoed from the third floor.

"Ara—"

"Little baby...crawl slowly—"

"How about Mommy carries you?"

"Bell, children need to grow up on their own..."

"..."

"Um?!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, a blond child, about two years old, was half-crawling and half-walking up the stairs at the bottom of the stairs. Behind him were three other people.

[Bell], who is already showing some signs of womanhood, is a tall and serious man, and... a girl in a red cape with slightly chubby cheeks but a smiling face.

"Sister Belle..."

"In my family, they say that children are most perceptive when they are young. Whatever they see and choose at first glance... that's the path they'll follow in life..."

"Oh? Really? Little Matchstick?"

"Um!"

"Let's see what Bell will choose?"

"..."

The three of them looked at the blond child in unison. The child seemed to sense something and kept walking deeper into the collection!

Her eyes narrowed into crescent moons as she suddenly looked at An Lan, who was still standing in front of the mirror!

"hug--"

"hug--"

When the sweet, childlike voice came through, An Lan's face darkened!

Depend on?

What does it mean to choose a path for life based on the first glance?

What's wrong?

You want to be a kept man too?

Hastily taking out the matchbox, An Lan lit a match, and his appearance instantly transformed from a strange man in a tattered wedding dress into a short servant carrying a nightlight.

An Lan had a premonition that if the people of the "Fairy Tale World" discovered her abnormality, something bad might happen.

"Why?"

"Are there any servants managing things here?"

Upon seeing An Lan, the tall man showed a slight surprise, but didn't say anything more.

He looked at "Little Belle" clinging to An Lan's leg, his face showing some disappointment: "Little Belle... are you going to become a manager like this uncle in the future?"

"Why don't you take another look?"

"armor?"

"Warhorses?"

"What if I became a female knight?"

The tone of her voice was meant to be persuasive and encouraging, but "Little Bell" just wouldn't let go of An Lan's leg.

"Um...maybe she likes bright light? Hey! Excuse me, could you please turn off the lights?"

The girl in the red cloak with slightly chubby cheeks looked at An Lan in a friendly manner, and An Lan's brows immediately furrowed.

"broken!"

"【Love at First Sight】is making its move..."

"But... there's no need for that now—"

Looking up at the favorability ratings above everyone's heads, An Lan thought for a moment and then ventured, "Perhaps... the little princess doesn't want to be like me, but rather she prefers a simpler boy?"

"Just like... a prince might fall for Cinderella... a princess might also fall in love with a simple, honest boy, right?"

"What a noble person she was!"

"I see—"

Upon hearing this, the tall man's brow immediately relaxed. Bell and "Little Match" beside him both brightened up, seemingly extremely satisfied with the answer!

Yes!

【Goodness】·The world of fairy tales is just like that, too beautiful.

There is no discrimination or unequal love here; it's somewhat like the Chinese concept of "Great Harmony."

That's precisely why...

Happiness doesn't need to be disturbed.

"oh--"

"Alright then! Little Belle, let this uncle go! You're so young, and you're already thinking about getting married? Daddy won't allow that!"

After a few hurried steps, the tall man scooped little Belle into his arms and smiled at An Lan. An Lan nodded silently, raised the candle high as if counting something, and gradually walked away from the [Hidden Items] room...

[Holy crap! Why am I feeling a little touched? Turns out, in the movie "The Beast and the Prince" I watched as a kid, they ended up having kids together?]

[The little girl who starved to death on the street was actually adopted by the Beast Prince? And he's raising her so well?]

[Wow... this place is completely different from the fairytale world on the other side!]

The comments section erupted in chaos because of this scene.

After watching the family of four leave the fourth floor, An Lan secretly glanced at the stairwell leading up from the fourth floor.

In the [Evil World], going up there means certain death!

So, what can we see if we go up here and take a look?
