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

"Holy crap! What kind of endless monsters are these?!"

Jiang Lai, holding the candle, was almost backed out the door.

"Puff puff puff—"

Some of the crowd surrounding the "Third Prince" rushed towards Luo Sang recklessly, while others clung to the stairwell walls, something rising in their throats...

"[Invalidate]! [Invalidate]!"

"Shrink! Shrink!!!"

Luo Sang used his abilities almost desperately against the [Third Prince] surging down from above.

Can...

One wave after another, as these "Third Princes" shrink, new "Third Princes" will crawl out from above.

It's like...

There's something like a "Three Princes" hatching pool upstairs!

"Ho—"

"Holy crap!!!"

On the ground, the Third Prince, who had not yet been crushed, even though he was only the size of a spider, simultaneously spewed out white, crystalline web-like mist from his mouth.

"Puff puff puff—"

Although the attack range of the little [Third Prince] is small, its sheer number makes it impossible to defeat.

In just a moment!

The first floor and the stairwell were enveloped in a glass-like mist. As Luo Sang stood in the mist, his skin inexplicably became translucent, and his movements became stiff and slow.

"grown ups!"

Something's not right!

"This fog... seems to be able to turn human bodies into mortals..."

"quick..."

"Get out of here immediately!!!"

Luo Sang blocked the entrance to the stairwell, and more and more of the "Third Princes" were climbing down the stairs.

Seeing that the crowd was about to collapse, An Lan immediately rushed out of the castle without hesitation.

"Jiang, come!"

"Let's go back!"

"what?"

Jiang Lai was taken aback!

"No? That guy... just let him die like that?"

"fine!"

"As long as you contact him, he'll come back!"

"OK!"

"Rumble—rumble—"

The rain poured down like a pillar, and the two of them, disregarding everything else, jumped towards the mirror on the corpse cart!

"Buzz—"

The next moment, the clarification of the [Mirror World] came. After exchanging a glance, the two quickly ran towards the [Fairy Tale World: Pumpkin Mirror].

"Buzzing..."

After the familiar dizziness subsided, a ray of warm sunlight shone in from outside the pumpkin carriage.

An Lan and Jiang Lai stood in the pumpkin carriage in a panic, looking at the group of people still laughing and chatting in the direction of the castle. They felt that... the contrast was too dreamlike.

"Tonight's dance... [Cinderella], are you going to wear the 'glass slippers' again?"

"Ah—I guess so!"

"We've been together for two or three years, and the Third Prince likes me to wear glass slippers... I think he's a bit of a foot fetishist... Every time I wear glass slippers, he follows me around like a puppy..."

"Alas--"

"No wonder you've been married for so long, you actually say things like that..."

"Enough about me, when are you and your 'Prince Charming' planning to have kids?"

"Sigh—my little brother's been holed up in the castle the whole time, how can I possibly be in the mood for kids?"

"..."

In the center of the castle, Cinderella is arm in arm with Snow White, the two chatting and laughing like best friends about recent events. Meanwhile, the Third Prince and Prince Charming are enjoying drinks at the entrance to the hallway.

"Buzz—"

[Candlelight] was lit, and this time Jiang Lai and An Lan entered the castle.

The layout of this castle is almost identical to that of the [Evil World]. The only difference is that there are no shoes on the walls, a vase stands in the center, and a sofa is in the corner.

The Three Little Pigs stood there beside Cinderella, eating pumpkin pie.

The scene remained as harmonious as ever.

After bypassing the main character in the hall, An Lan and Jiang Lai headed up the corridor to the second floor, where a row of rooms were located.

Of these rows of rooms, three are marked with signs for "grass," "wood," and "brick." They appear to be the dwellings of the Three Little Pigs.

And if you go up from this floor, the third floor is a whole floor of large rooms!

A huge princess bed, with a bathtub right next to it.

It's easy to see that this is the residence of the Third Prince and Cinderella.

After walking around the castle, it seemed like we had a good understanding of its layout, but the clues we had found were still pitifully few!

"Hello!"

"Anlan..."

"If we don't leave that Luo Sang alone, I reckon he'll really be dead!"

"Tsk..."

"Let's go back first—"

An Lan frowned, and after returning to the first floor, she looked thoughtfully at Cinderella and Snow White. It was unclear what she had figured out, but she quickly ran towards the Pumpkin Mirror!

"Buzz—"

"Buzz—"

After the familiar feeling of dizziness returned.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

It was still a night of torrential rain and flashing lightning.

The castle floor was piled high with the corpses of the Third Prince. It seemed impossible to kill them all; a bunch of the Third Princes still clung to the stairwells, some crouching against the walls, others stacked on top of each other, desperately guarding the stairs!

"Damn it..."

"Losar!"

An Lan shouted towards the castle!

"grown ups!"

"Buzz—"

The echo reverberated near the corpse horse.

The Lilliputian prince's skin on Rosang's body had already turned mostly crystal-like. Rosang untied half of it and hung it on his shoulder.

And Luo Sang's body, from its tiny size, slowly returned to normal.

"We can't beat them..."

"So you shrunk yourself?"

"That's one way of thinking..."

An Lan gave Luo Sang an appreciative look, and Luo Sang bowed slightly: "My lord! I've embarrassed you! If you had taken action yourself, these things wouldn't have had a chance to jump around."

"..."

There was no response to Rossang's words.

An Lan was well aware that he now considered himself the captain of the "Death Squad"—the person codenamed "Death".

What exactly are the opponent's abilities?

Can it be associated with death?

An Lan wasn't in the mood to find out. Instead, she silently drew the Pinocchio Sword that Jiang Lai had tucked behind his back and asked the wooden sword, "Wearing the Crystal Shoes... the Third Prince will give way!"

"Buzz—"

Wooden sword!

It actually grew more than ten centimeters!

"this--"

"this..."

"An Lan, how...how did you know?!"

Jiang Lai was a little dazed. A look of surprise flashed across his face, then he seemed to suddenly realize something: "Ah! I know! I know—"

"Yes! It's a fairytale world!"

"We just overheard a discussion about Snow White and Cinderella in the fairy tale world!"

Cinderella said the Third Prince liked her wearing the glass slippers!

"So let's turn it around..."

"Here, the Third Prince must be...disgusted, or perhaps afraid, of Cinderella putting on the glass slipper?!"

[666! So that's the idea!]

[An Tiandi is awesome! He went back once and found a way to reverse the situation?]

"Wouldn't wearing glass slippers allow you to move freely around here?"

【...】

A surge of comments appeared on the screen.

An Lan glanced at the situation inside the castle, but instead of taking action herself, she looked at Luo Sang.

Luo Sang nodded, then ran off in a few steps, his figure shrinking as he ran until... he completely disappeared from their sight...

A moment later!

The spot where the high heels were hanging against the wall—Rosang's body had just recovered!

"Buzz—"

As the song "Auld Lang Syne" began to play, the "Three Princes" who had been lurking in the stairwell immediately straightened up and fixed their eyes on Luo Sang!

"Holy crap!!!"

The neck of the "Third Prince" kept expanding, as if it was about to expel that glassy air again.

Can...

next moment!

As Luo Sang took down a pair of crystal shoes from the wall and put them on his feet...

"Da da da—"

After the sound of the "crystal slipper" stomping echoed, countless "Third Princes"... all shrank back, burying their heads under the eight legs, lying prone on the ground... not daring to move a muscle!

"Oh?"

This scene stunned Jiang Lai and An Lan, who were outside the castle!

Holy crap!

Is this third prince henpecked?

"Afraid of this thing?"

Jiang Lai made a loud exclamation, and An Lan frowned but didn't say anything more. She waved to Luo Sang in the inner room.

Luo Sang understood, grabbed two more pairs of crystal shoes from the wall, and threw them out of the castle!

"grown ups..."

Be careful!

"Wearing the [Crystal Shoes] should protect me from these things... but... I feel like something is watching me... be careful..."

The moment the shoe was thrown, Luo Sang awkwardly kicked his foot, as if the [Crystal Shoe] was not the right size.

Upon hearing this, An Lan hesitated for a moment before putting on the crystal shoes.

There's nothing I can do!

If you don't wear it, you won't be able to get to the second floor at all!

If you wear it and there are any side effects, you can always contact the past one last time to deal with it.

"Da da da—"

"Da da da—"

and!

The moment An Lan and Jiang Lai put on the [Crystal Shoes], the [Instance] notification sounded!

You have put on the cursed crystal shoes, and you will never be able to remove them. In some cases, the shoes will relentlessly devour your flesh and blood until they completely drain you!

Wearing these shoes, you seem to have caught someone's attention!

[Dance dance——]

[Dance dance——]

Death is dancing before you!

"ha?"

"Are you trying to play riddles here?"

Hearing the system's inexplicable prompt, An Lan frowned, and suddenly felt a chill on the soles of her feet!

"hiss--"

That is...

It felt like a thorn had suddenly grown out of the shoe, piercing my sole, sending a chill down my spine!
