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

The more I think about it, the more terrified I become.

Jiang Lai even came up with a terrifying idea!

What if this "weirdo" copied the "connection to the past" and wanted to connect with his earliest self?

It cannot leave the [Evil World], but it can contact the monster who was still in the [Human Skin Workshop] period!

"No, no, no—"

"If that's the case, I should have seen a 'fishman' back in the 'Human Skin Workshop'..."

"But no, it didn't..."

"Could it be...?"

"It can't leave the [Kingdom District]?"

Jiang Lai wasn't sure about his guess, so he simply took out the [Sword of Pinocchio] and asked directly, "That monster that gained my power, it can't leave the [Kingdom District]?"

"Buzz—"

The wooden sword suddenly grew longer!

Seeing this, Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief!

That's it!

As long as it cannot leave the Kingdom Zone, no matter how far back in time it connects to itself, it cannot interfere with its past!

No wonder...

No wonder that strange man said "what a pity" when time was distorted!

"That..."

"The strange person who possesses my abilities chose to contact me now? Is it planning to ambush me now, capture me, and completely control me?"

"Buzz—"

Pinocchio's sword has grown longer!

"The reason for this!"

"That's because, while it can indeed connect to the past, its past self doesn't have the ability to connect to the future! In other words, although its present self knows the future, it has reverted to being a simple fish-man!"

"This merman knew I might go there later, so he laid an ambush, planning to control me and completely control the 'connection to the past'?"

"Buzz—"

Pinocchio's Sword has grown longer again!

Holy crap!

After analyzing all of this, Jiang Lai was completely dumbfounded!

MD!

Is he engaging in a battle of wits with a small monster in a dungeon?

"You should be thankful... this monster can't leave the [instance]..."

"Otherwise, if I were it, I would definitely contact the past much earlier and capture you as soon as you gained your [talent]!"

An Lan joked from the side, and Jiang Lai inexplicably shuddered: "Damn! It has to be you! You can come up with such a shady trick!"

"I'm not saying anything more..."

"Now we can't go to this [Evil World Beach] either..."

"What do you think we should do?"

"this..."

"Let's just stay here!"

"Let's see where this pumpkin carriage is going—"

"I see now... No wonder that Erluosi didn't dare come this way, the monsters here are just too outrageous!"

Shaking her head, An Lan didn't even go back to the [Mirror World] this time. Instead, she leaned against the window of the [Pumpkin Carriage] and looked out helplessly.

The sun shines brightly, and the golden sand is covered with seashells. Occasionally, you can see traces of mermaids tumbling in the sea.

How wonderful!

Hearing the shouts from above, An Lan silently put the collar back on...

......

At the same time.

"Buzz—"

【Evil World - Beach】

"Puff puff puff—"

Nearby, amidst countless half-corpses, a fish-man covered in moss and scales swam in the blood.

Beneath its armor, a patch of flesh was vibrating with a buzzing sound.

It looked in surprise at the vibration beneath the flesh, and slowly pulled the lump of flesh out from under its scales. The fleshy ball stretched out in its hand, transforming into something resembling a cell phone, on which a line of text appeared on the screen.

Hello! I am you from the future!

In the future, you will encounter two people from another world who come to the beach!

One of their abilities is "connecting to the past"! By finding a way to capture that person and fully master their abilities, you might be able to help "Little Mermaid" achieve the unification of the three regions!

Sorry... this is all I can deliver...

"..."

The fishman fell silent as he gazed at the information on it.

"Thump—"

next moment!

It swam towards the shore closest to the beach, lying dormant in the seawater, silently waiting for the two people who might appear!

It's not stupid!

It could conceive that since it could receive information from the future, those two people from another world might also receive information from the future and try to avoid it!

But what can it do?

It can't leave this place; it can only... gamble that those two will come again!

I'm betting I still have a chance to catch them!

"Damn Cinderella..."

"Damn Snow White!!!"

"..."

......

Let's shift our perspective back to [Good World - Beach].

The shouts of "Prince Charming" continued for a while, but "Little Prince" still didn't appear.

In the end, the Third Prince reluctantly drove the pumpkin carriage slowly away from the beach, heading back the way he came.

【oh?】

[Does this correspond to the root cause of the disappearance of the corpse horse in the previous round?]

[Synchronized between the two worlds...]

The cold, ruthless voice came from her neck. An Lan blinked: "So, in the last round, we wanted to go back to the carriage, but because the Pumpkin Carriage of this world was gone, and the Corpse Horse disappeared too?"

"So, we didn't get back onto the carriage?"

[Tsk...]

[That pretty boy reacted pretty quickly?]

"Ho—"

"That's...that's really interesting..."

An Lan tapped her fingers on the window of the pumpkin carriage, squinting as she watched the beach castle disappear into the distance.

If...

The beach in the Evil World is difficult to cross, so how about using the Pumpkin Carriage to go directly to the castle gate and then to the Evil World?

[The person in the mirror], [The person in the mirror]!

Those who travel between the mirrors of two worlds and act as messengers between them should make good use of the characteristics of the "Mirror Person"!

"hastily..."

"Ready to go home!"

"Bai Xue, would you like to come to my house for a while?"

From the roof of the car, Cinderella's voice suddenly rang out.

"Okay! Okay!"

"It's been so long since I visited you!"

"Your 'Three Little Pigs' here is really great; they can renovate your house anytime, depending on the climate—"

"Hi--"

"Your little dwarf is quite nice too!"

"Too..."

The sound of discussion coming from the roof of the car made An Lan's ears perk up.

and many more?

What the heck?

The Three Little Pigs?

It means that the Three Little Pigs are now working for Cinderella.

Isn't the coachman of the pumpkin carriage one of them?

An Lan looked directly out of the car and examined the three "pig-men" more closely. Each of them wore three brooches on its chest: one of grass, one of wood, and one of bricks...

Um--

It does match the story of the three pigs in the fairy tale who built houses of straw, wood, and brick.

"Depend on!"

"The Three Little Pigs—"

"I even watched their cartoons when I was a kid!"

"I never expected... that after killing the big bad wolf, they would actually come to Cinderella's place?"

Jiang Lai also became interested and examined the Three Little Pigs closely!

"Da da da—"

"Da da da—"

The pumpkin carriage once again drove back to the bustling city center.

This time, however, the car weaved through the tall buildings and finally came up a slope, arriving in front of an ancient castle.

The castle was full of lawns, and as soon as the servants saw the pumpkin carriage return, they all came out and respectfully saluted it.

The three pigmen immediately climbed down from the carriage and opened the stair mechanism on the pumpkin carriage!

"Cinderella..."

Are you making pumpkin pancakes again today?

Of the three little pigs, the one wearing the wooden medal blinked and, though bowing, playfully asked, "Cinderella."

"If you want to eat it, Mumu, I'll definitely make it!"

"That's great!"

"Ho ho—"

Upon hearing this, the three "pigmen" excitedly let out a few "whoosh" sounds.

After the princesses and princes got off the carriage, they all walked towards the main hall of the castle.

An Lan and Jiang Lai hesitated for a moment, then Jiang Lai raised the candle, and the two silently followed the group off the car.

"Hehehe—"

"It's not raining today... so we'll use a thatched house..."

"Hehehe—"

Of the three pigmen, the one wearing the "grass medal" walked to the edge of the castle and touched it with his hand. Suddenly, the entire castle sprouted dense, withered grass, piling up into a heap.

The sturdy castle, at this moment, was blown by the wind and swayed loosely.

but--

Inside the castle, however, came Snow White's exclamation: "Ah! What a soft house! This is simply a pleasure!"

"Of course!"

"Cao Cao is my favorite little pig!"

"Hehehe—"

A cheerful sound came from inside, but An Lan and Jiang Lai only looked at the room for a short while before losing interest in watching.

[Fairy tales] are so beautiful!

The Three Little Pigs and Cinderella lived together.

That...

What if it's a reversed "evil world"?

"Tsk..."

"So, the Pumpkin Carriage's destination is Cinderella's Castle... Well—the Corpse Horse from the Evil World, is it stopped in front of Cinderella's Castle now too?"

"This matches the location we agreed upon with Rossang..."

"Walk!"

"Let's go take a look!"

Swaying the candlelight, the two climbed back onto the pumpkin carriage and slipped into the mirror...
