[Originally, the background of the story you are in now should have been The Fairy Tale of Prince Rapunzel. It would not have been a difficult mission, only correcting the plot line point by point, and after correcting this world, we would then enter the next world in a very rhythmic manner.]

[But now the three fairy tales have merged into one.]

Bai Lixin: [The witch, the evil dragon, and the sea monster are characters in the three fairytales, right? What about the invader? Is it one or three?]

Escape System: [Uh, it could be one, it could be three.]

Bai Lixin frowned slightly and asked, [What do you mean?]

The escape system wanted to cry but had no tears: [I’m sorry, Master Bai Lixin, but I may have some other bad news for you.]

A sudden sense of foreboding flashed through Bai Lixin’s mind.

Escape System: [Now not only have the three worlds merged, but your characters have also fused.]

[Not only are you Prince Rapunzel cursed by a witch, but you are also the princess imprisoned by the evil dragon in a castle, and finally the human teenager that the sea monster wants to drag into the deep sea.]

[All in all, good luck with that.]

As the escape system spoke, a translucent text suddenly appeared over Bai Lixin’s head.]

[The witch’s Prince Rapunzel – the evil dragon’s castle princess – the sea monster’s human boy.]

The text only appeared for a second before it began to fade and finally disappeared completely.

Bai Lixin: [……]

Fuck.

———————-

In the live broadcast room.

[Pfft, hahahaha, I’m laughing my ass off, what kind of large-scale shura field is this?]

[Fuck, fuck, fuck, I can already smell the smell of gunfire.]

[Awesome, everyone else faces copies with trepidation, but God Xin directly picks three. Let’s just say, as expected of God Xin. ]

[It turned out to be three fairy tales. He deserves to be the player with an F- luck value and the title of “god of bad luck”. ]

[Politeness: Are you God Xin? ]

——————–

The escape system suggested with a trembling voice: [Since everything has already happened, why don’t …… we just go with the flow? We first go to the forest, right?]

[Ding!]

[The player should go to the forest, find the witch, and lift the curse. Completing the task will earn you 6000 mall points. If the player fails to complete the task, they will suffer the curse’s backlash.]

[This is a mandatory task, the system has automatically accepted it.]

[Have a nice game.]

Bai Lixin: [……]

Such pleasantries are for yourself, right?

——————

Outside, the sky had turned pitch black, and three huge moons hung in the sky in turn.

If one looked closely, one would be able to see two conspicuous stitch-like marks in the sky.

In the distance, the tolling of the big bell rang out twice.

As the sound of the bell struck, dark shadows swiftly crossed the wide green field.

The guards who were changing shifts craned their heads to look.

“What’s going on?”

One guard scanned the green field and withdrew his gaze when he saw nothing unusual, “Nothing.”

The colleague looked up at the moon in the sky and didn’t react, seemingly used to it.

It was only when the guards had completely left that the dark figure stepped out from behind the stone pillar and came to the vines that the Manu had pointed out.

[The fairy tale world is good to live in.] The voice of the escape system slowly appeared in Bai Lixin’s mind. [Originally, fairy tales were fantasy worlds created for children; they are generally good and beautiful, so there will not be a lot of danger.]

It struggled to find comforting words from the barren library of words. [For example, the clues in the fairy tale world are so simple, you don’t have to find the clues yourself, the clues will be delivered to you by themselves. It wasn’t hard for you to go to the forest, was it?]

Bai Lixin lifted the vines and easily found the small door behind them.

The small door was not locked, as if it was waiting for Bai Lixin.

Bai Lixin stared at the door for a couple of moments before pulling it open and leaving the castle.

In the castle, a sneaky dark figure appeared in the darkened room: “Master, he has left the castle and is heading toward the forest.”

A hoarse voice rang out slowly, “Oh, good.”

“The witch should be sleeping at this time of day, that guy hates to be disturbed, if he goes in, he will surely die.”

“Heh heh, heh heh.”

“Get someone to follow him well! I want you to see his death with your own eyes.”

The darkness cast a veil of secrecy over the plots and became a cover for them…

——————

While Bai Lixin was in the darkness, he opened the taskbar.

The number of people shown in the copy was still 22, and no one had died so far.

Bai Lixin: [Where did these 22 people come from? Are they the people who were imprisoned in the Eternal Diamond Mountain at that time?]

Escape System: [That is correct.]

Bai Lixin: [Are they also in the same story as me, or are they in other fairy tales??]

Escape system: [There are many branches of the fairy tale world; the drops are random; everyone’s fairy tale world is different.]

The edge of the forest had appeared in the distance. Bai Lixin continued to ask after hearing the words of the escape system, [Only two of those people regained consciousness; if the others were to fall into the fairy tale world, would they also regain consciousness?]

Escape System: [No, but like us, their systems were activated when they entered the fairy tale world.]

[If their will is strong enough, they will regain their sanity with the guidance of the system. But if they have completely lost all human emotions, then they probably won’t recover.]

Bai Lixin: [What happens when they fail?]

Escape System: [Re-enter a new Eternal Diamond Mountain. The fairy tale world is a litmus test, and the only way to leave the time cage is to pass the fairy tale world]

Bai Lixin: [Has anyone ever entered the fairytale world before this?]

Escape System: [Oh, you are the first. Many players have been imprisoned in the time cage, but just because time is slow does not mean that the players can live eternally.]

[Players end up going in two directions.]

[The first direction is to encounter darkness and become part of the eternal diamond mountain as a diamond, which means death.]

[In the second direction, the player is safe and sound until his sanity is completely gone and he becomes a wanderer without consciousness. After that, his body will gradually turn into soil and become part of the time cage.]

Bai Lixin: [So different directions, but it’s just a different kind of death.]

Escape System: [That’s right. The time cage is worse than a direct beheading. There is nothing after getting beheaded, but in the time cage, you will experience despair, compromise, loss of will, and all kinds of behavior.]

[So one punishment is a straight beheading, the other is like a lynching.]

Bai Lixin: [Your game’s taste is really sick.]

Escape System: [……]

As the two talked, Bai Lixin soon arrived at the edge of the forest.

The dense vegetation and upright trees looked lush in the daytime, but in the dead of night, they became eerie phantoms.

The thick branches of the trees obscured the sky and strongly concealed the three moons.

It was as if they were silently declaring that this was their territory, and not even the moonlight could trample on it.

Escape system, [Huh, didn’t that butterfly say that a messenger would come to receive us? Why is there no one there?]

A gust of wind blew, and the vegetation and leaves immediately made a “swish, swish, swish” sound.

Bai Lixin’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced behind him from the corner of his eye, then his vision slowly became sharper.

It wasn’t just the leaves that were rustling, there was something more dangerous hidden in the sound of the leaves swaying.

He opened his backpack, intending to take out his scythe to defend himself.

[Ding!]

[Warning, under the “curse” buff, the use of weapons is prohibited in order to protect the player.]

The moment the system’s voice fell, several lightning-fast black shadows instantly came toward Bai Lixin.

Bai Lixin: [……]

Damn it, this rubbish system was going to get him killed.

The black shadows were so fast, and Bai Lixin quickly dodged them. Just as he was about to dodge the last one, a black shadow came out of the ground without warning and bound Bai Lixin’s ankles firmly.

It is only a matter of moments before the winner is decided in a duel between masters.

In that split second, several shadows came after him again.

This time, there was no room for him to dodge.

Like a sinister and greedy snake, the black shadows easily wrapped themselves around Bai Lixin’s wrists and waist and dragged him into the dark forest.
