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

"Ameiro! Ameiro!"

despair!

This is so hopeless!

Seeing the room shrinking, Jiang Lai sighed helplessly and could only take out his phone to start composing a text message...

No way!

The core of this squad is actually him, who has no fighting ability whatsoever!

Can't die!

He absolutely cannot die!

He's the team's safety net!

However, I was just editing this message...

"Buzzing—"

The advancing stone wall suddenly paused, as if it had gotten stuck!

"Um?"

Jiang Lai was taken aback, looking around suspiciously: "What...what's going on?!"

After a while, the eerie laughter seemed to disappear.

......

At the same time.

After removing the collar, An Lan put it in her pocket and looked around.

[Pretty boy, even if you sever the connection between all realms, can you find your friends immediately?]

If you can't find it...

[Won't your friend be killed any minute now?]

Mo Lengxin's questioning voice rang out, and An Lan's lips curled into a smile: "Who said... I have to find out where he is?"

【and you...】

"Ning Rou! Move me to the next level!"

"clear!"

"Buzzing—"

After a vacuum sphere rapidly spun inside the haystack, An Lan disappeared with a "buzz" and reappeared on the third floor.

[Three-story]...

The layout here is exactly the same as in a fairy tale world!

But the difference is that there's someone lying in the bathtub here now!

The man was submerged in blood, his stomach gaping open. And inside that gaping wound, a face stared outwards, as if stuck inside his belly, unable to escape!

Let's take a closer look!

This person...

It was none other than the Third Prince!!!

That's right!

His face was numb, and the person who crawled out of the opening in his stomach was not someone else, but himself!

He was immersed in blood, like a reproductive mother, constantly producing himself!

"..."

Seeing this, An Lan hesitated only briefly before suddenly pointing at the Third Prince!

"Ning Rou!"

"[Spatial Displacement]! It shattered him instantly!"

"good!"

"Buzzing—"

A vacuum sphere suddenly appeared, flashing brightly, and enveloped the Third Prince, tearing and distorting everything around it.

The Third Prince...

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be some kind of emotional vessel!

Destroying it completely would not only advance the mission but also cripple one of the fortress's combatants.

Why not?

only...

The instant the vacuum sphere appeared!

"Hehehe..."

That familiar voice suddenly appeared!

The Third Prince, who was soaking in blood, suddenly floated up, as if he had been picked up by some unknown entity and abruptly left the vicinity of the vacuum sphere!

"Good heavens..."

"I knew you'd come back to defend!"

Am I right?

"Cinderella?!?"

The voice that asked looked toward the floating [Third Prince], but there was no response from the air, only a low growl of "hehehe".

【you...】

[You're... going straight to the heart of the matter, forcing that being to return?]

So... your friend is alright now?!

【you--】

【drop--】

[Goddess of Demonic Coldness's favorability increased by 5!]

[Current favorability rating: 55 points!]

The collar in her pocket vibrated, and An Lan calmly looked at the floating [Third Prince]: "Not going to speak? I'll take that as a yes!"

"Hehehe..."

We could still only hear sounds, but couldn't see anyone.

An Lan glanced thoughtfully at her crystal shoes, then her expression turned cold: "Ning Rou! [Subversion]!!!"

"good!"

"Buzz—"

"Buzz—"

"Buzz—"

The wave of [disruption] spread!

"Bang!"

As expected, the scene of Cinderella turning over a new leaf did not appear! Instead... the floating entity holding the Third Prince seemed to throw him to the ground!

Then...

"I'll help you find relief..."

"I'll free you right now..."

A soft, sobbing sound rang out!

"What?!"

"Thump—"

A sound like a knife being stomped down rang out, and the expressionless Third Prince suddenly burst out of a spray of blood from one of his feet. His left armpit foot, along with the Crystal Shoe, fell off near his body!

"Thump—"

immediately!

After another stomping sound, one of his feet under his right armpit was also severed!

Blood gushed out all over the ground!

Just as the stomping sound was about to strike the waist and abdomen, a strange twist appeared under the armpits of the Third Prince, and another pair of feet grew out!

But these feet don't have any glass slippers!

"This is..."

An Lan seemed to have figured something out!

Is the body of the Third Prince a fake human?

However, even the "fake person" can be swayed by the "Third Prince's" emotions, ultimately becoming his puppet. So... the "fake person" might also hate Cinderella!

On what grounds?

Will it help Cinderella guard the palace?

reason!

only one!

Its eight legs are also wearing glass slippers!

The one who holds the curse on the glass slipper is Cinderella!

If it doesn't want to die, it has no choice but to cooperate with Cinderella!

This explains why the Third Prince stopped attacking when An Lan and the others put on the Crystal Shoes!

It's afraid of shoes!

And now!

Under the upheaval, Cinderella turned out for the better!

She knew the shoes couldn't be removed, so... she decided to simply break the Third Prince's legs to regain his freedom!

"Oh my god, I've managed to save myself from a broken leg..."

"Hello!"

"Stop cutting! Once you're done cutting, it'll kill you!"

"No--"

"No--"

"No one can take off the glass slipper... No one! I must save him! I must save him!"

The mad voices came from all around, but An Lan still couldn't see where Cinderella was.

"hiss--"

The excruciating pain in my feet continued to spread.

An Lan looked at her feet and really didn't want to just cut them off.

So what do we do now?

Have you found Jiang?

Should we let him use the "Connect to the Past" feature?

"never mind..."

"Now that I know the situation here..."

"Next time, I'll be more confident... Today is the last time I can [connect to the past]. I need to make full use of this ability and explore everything I can!"

"Ning Rou, dispel the [Subversion] debunking, let them continue their battle!"

"Let's go downstairs! Let's go find Jiang!"

"good--"

"Buzzing—"

In the instant the vacuum sphere flickered rapidly, Cinderella's slashing motion paused. After canceling [Subversion], she seemed to regain her killing intent and slipped a pair of [Crystal Shoes] onto the Third Prince's newly grown feet...

"Buzz—"

at the same time!

On the second floor, amidst the haystacks, the haystacks shook, and An Lan suddenly appeared in the haystacks, shouting a few times to those around her: "Hey! Jiang Lai! Jiang Lai!!!"

"..."

"grown ups!"

To An Lan's surprise, the first to respond to him was not Jiang Lai, but Luo Sang!

The other person emerged unharmed from a pile of grass!

"Um?"

"Are you alright?"

An Lan asked in surprise, and Luo Sang nodded: "I'm locked in the [wooden house]! The wood was initially going to attack me frequently, but after a while, I don't know why, it stopped!"

"I used [invalidate] to solve it!"

"oh--"

"I see!"

Raising an eyebrow, An Lan didn't explain much, but instead looked around: "Try using [Nullify] again! I'm locked in a [Thatched Hut], you're in a [Wooden Hut]..."

"Then Jiang Lai must be locked up in the [brick house]..."

"Use [Nullify] to sweep around and rescue him!"

"Yes, sir!"

"【Invalidate】!!!"

"Buzz—"

The aftershocks of the tremor began to ripple through the haystack!

A moment later!

"Holy crap!"

"The door is open?!"

After a surprised voice rang out, Jiang Lai squeezed out from a pile of hay!

Seeing that An Lan and Luo Sang seemed completely unaffected, he patted his chest and exclaimed, "Holy crap! Let me tell you! I was just locked in a brick house... I..."

"Stop talking!"

"Get out of here!"

"ah?!"

An Lan waved her hand, and Jiang Lai was taken aback!

"Wait, aren't we going up? Why are we going out?"

"I went up to check on you when you were trapped! I have a general understanding of the situation here..."

"Get out of here!"

"ha?!"

"Tap tap tap—"

Ignoring Jiang Lai's astonishment, the three of them quickly left the area and headed straight for the Corpse Horse!

"Hehehe..."

"Hehehe..."

Inside the fortress, the three princes remained hidden on the ground, none daring to pursue. But... that strange laughter from before, like a shadow, followed them relentlessly!

Holy crap!

"What do we do with this thing?"

"I can't see it!!!"

Jiang Lai hid behind An Lan again. An Lan looked at Luo Sang, her expression suddenly turning cold: "Luo Sang! Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the organization?"

"certainly!"

"Always be prepared!"

"Alright!"

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Before the words were even finished, to Jiang Lai's astonishment, An Lan... dislocated both of Luo Sang's lower legs!
