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

"Is it just a lazy shell?"

"Combined with the Rapunzel Prince's previous 'greedy' exterior, and the Beast Prince's 'anger' exterior that he hadn't yet had time to peel away..."

"We've found three bodies..."

With the notification sound of the [Instance] echoing in her ears, An Lan muttered to herself, expressing surprise at the [Mirror Image] faction.

Is this "faction" an open-ended concept?

In other words, you can actually back out at any time, put on the "skin" and betray the "person in the mirror" camp.

but--

Once you put on the "skin", you can no longer be the "person in the mirror".

"That's interesting..."

"An otherworldly being who protects the balance of the [Fairy Tale World]?"

His eyes flickered, and a "person in the mirror" information panel popped up in his eyes at some point.

[Angry Skin: Well preserved (not yet removed)]

The shell of greed: has been destroyed.

[Lazy Skin: Neutral]

[Analysis of the Lazy Skin: Wearing this human skin, you will take the curse of "loneliness" in place of the Frog Prince. You can only turn back into a human when someone proactively claims to be your friend.]

If you make eye contact with someone and they ignore you, it means they are resisting making friends, and you cannot attack them!

If you make eye contact with someone and they move or react, that means they agree!

Become your friend, and he will be cursed by the spell of loneliness, his whole body will develop irreversible ulcers!

Loneliness...will always be with you.

[Lustful Flesh: ???]

[The arrogant facade: has been removed]

[Jealous of physical appearance: ???]

[Gluttonous Skin: ???]

"Whoa—"

"So this is the benefit of joining this camp..."

Looking at the panel, An Lan was surprised to find that the [Pseudo-human] faction had a significant advantage.

A three-piece lead at the start?

If I hadn't ended up in the [Beast Prince's] castle, he probably would have collected four skins by now.

"An arrogant facade..."

"Could it be that the Energy Extraction Society has already succeeded?"

Jiang Lai muttered something to himself, and An Lan raised her eyelids slightly: "Why do you need to think that way?"

"Little Red Riding Hood has a new human skin!"

Raising the Sword of Pinocchio, An Lan asked a question directly.

"Buzz—"

As expected, the wooden sword grew a few centimeters longer.

"bad!"

"So naughty!"

"What if that guy actually gets some kind of superhuman ability...?"

Seeing the sword grow longer, Jiang Lai's face turned completely dark.

An Lan rolled her eyes at him speechlessly: "Please... they didn't say that Thumbelina was just a shell of arrogance, right? Maybe... that new skin is a shell of arrogance, but the effect isn't as powerful as Thumbelina's?"

With a "hum", the longsword in his hand grew longer again!

"..."

"..."

This time!

An Lan and Jiang Lai both fell silent.

actually...

Did you get it right again?

This is actually allowed?!

"Tsk..."

"I'm truly impressed!"

"This 'Sword of Pinocchio' is practically an information overload treasure!"

"I wish I could take it out of the dungeon..."

Jiang Lai muttered something to himself, while An Lan stroked the wooden sword, her eyes shining.

indeed!

If this thing could be brought into reality, it could really reveal a lot of things!

such as--

[Energy Acceleration Conference]!

Every day, ask yourself these questions while looking at your longsword: "Is the enemy's main base in Japan?" or "Is the enemy's main base in India?"

Once you guess correctly the first time, you can rely on time and accumulated questions to guess again, and from thousands of miles away, you can finally pinpoint the location of the [Energy Gathering] headquarters!

This ability is absolutely incredible!

pity...

These supermodels' props are usually very difficult to take away.

While An Lan was caressing his longsword, the "Wolf Grandmother" had already ordered the other "strange people" to completely pile up boulders to form a high ground at the wellhead.

"Tomorrow..."

"Remove the air and then seal it completely with lime..."

"That way, there won't be any problems..."

"Everyone! Let's all disperse and get some rest!"

With a wave, the "weirdos" treated the "wolf grandmother" with utmost respect, exchanging greetings as they dispersed towards the forest.

"Wuhu—I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight!"

"I'm going to sleep until I naturally wake up tomorrow!"

"I want steak! Ten pieces!"

"Hahaha—I'll never have to worry about not finishing my work and getting my hair blown off again!"

"..."

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

As the eccentric individuals joked among themselves, a rare moment of peace and tranquility returned to the place...

......

In the bedroom of [Grandma Wolf].

When the night was deep and quiet, and the little princess was fast asleep...

After greeting the "Big Bad Wolf," An Lan and Jiang Lai Chao promptly disappeared back into the "Mirror."

"Buzz—"

A familiar, dizzying sensation came over me.

When I returned to the mirror world, the surrounding scenery had changed quite a bit.

The two mirrors with lion mane still gleamed, while the lotus leaf on one side of the frog-eye mirror remained intact, but the lotus leaves around the other side had completely disappeared. Next to the frog-eye mirror was a mirror with long, unruly hair.

One side of the mirror was completely covered by hair, while the other side was black.

If you try to touch either of the two mirrors with your hands, you cannot enter them.

Behind the black-haired mirror, the White Horse Mirror, the Pumpkin Mirror, and the Fish Scale Mirror were all shrouded in a hazy black mist. Only the last mirror, entwined with vines, had become much dimmer...

"so..."

"If something happens to the protagonist of the corresponding story, will the mirror change accordingly?"

Judging from the frog mirror and the black hair mirror, An Lan has grasped the mystery of the "mirror world".

"Ugh—"

"We want to find Thumbelina... According to the clues, we definitely need to go to the top of Rapunzel's tower! So we need to go through... the black mirror that represents her long hair..."

"But now... we can't get in at all..."

Jiang Lai tried to pull the black hair mirror with her hands several times, but she couldn't get it in no matter what she did.

Helpless, he could only look at the other mirrors.

"Something must have happened to Rapunzel, which is why she can't get into the mirror..."

"Now... perhaps we can get some clues from the other side of the world..."

Hesitating for a moment, An Lan walked directly to the other side of the [Frog Mirror]!

Last time...

He's the Frog Prince, eager to see the "evil world," so what is he doing this time in the simple "fairytale world"?

"Buzz—"

Reaching out to touch the mirror, the frog mirror asked that familiar question: "Where is the Frog Prince?"

"In the well!"

Upon hearing the reply, An Lan felt a dizzying sensation before her eyes.

"Buzz—"

After the familiar dizziness returned, An Lan looked around again—this time... he was still in the bedroom of [Grandma Wolf], walking out of a full-length mirror!

only!

This time in the bedroom, there was no "Big Bad Wolf" on the bed.

In the neatly arranged room, a black-and-white framed picture of an old woman with a kind expression stands on the bed. The rocking chair, bedside table, and carpet around it are still there, creating a very cozy atmosphere.

but...

It's easy to see that no one lives here anymore.

An Lan stared at it for a while before pushing open the bedroom door and walking towards the living room.

The living room lights were on, but no one was there.

The door to Grandma Wolf's house was wide open, and candlelight shone outside. A girl in a red cloak sat on the lawn, mending something for a white rabbit...

"Little Red Riding Hood! I have something to tell you—the hunter didn't catch any prey again today!"

"The little squirrel hid tree fruit inside the tree stump!"

"Oh, right! On my way here, I saw the little princess's carriage. She must be looking for the frog prince again! Why are you hiding for him?!"

"..."

Amidst the incessant chatter, An Lan slowed her pace and approached, only then noticing that Little Red Riding Hood was actually holding a rabbit with a broken leg in her arms, stitching up its wound with a needle and thread.

And the little white rabbit, nestled in her arms, kept chattering away!

Wow! This is what a fairy tale should be like!

[I'm so moved... So after the Big Bad Wolf died, Little Red Riding Hood lived in the forest, stitching up and healing injured animals...]

Damn! My warped worldview has been instantly cleansed!

【...】

The viewers watching this heartwarming scene were deeply moved.

An Lan and Jiang Lai originally planned to just stand inside and watch the sequel to the original story for a while...

Can!

"Hurry! Hurry!"

"If you're even a little slow, the Frog Prince will get away!"

"I'm going to tell my father when I get back, and he'll have you whipped severely!"

"..."

Familiar voices rang out!

An Lan looked in the direction of the sound and saw the "Little Princess" shouting angrily from a carriage in the distance!
