Chapter 58: Don’t you think your lines are too hot?
The final conclusion is that this village girl is most likely the fairy who helped Princess Aurora.
That is, in the original story, the black witch cursed the princess to be stabbed to death by the needle of a sewing machine on her 16th birthday, and then...
There was another fairy who didn't have time to give her blessing at the last minute, so she said: "The princess will not be stabbed to death by the sewing machine needle on her 16th birthday, she will just fall into a deep sleep."
As for whether the village girl is this fairy, both Philip and Princess Aurora feel that they cannot guarantee it. Even if in this story, the village girl is a fairy and is a friendly camp, and they have a cooperative relationship, but what if others think they are very powerful and will pose a threat to her in future games?
She has no reason to make friends with a player who was originally an enemy just because of the identity assigned by the system, unless it is a mission assigned by the system that will result in death if not completed. But when the mission is over and everything is released, that is when she will turn against him.
Philip asked Princess Arlo: "Your current mission is to escape from your father's control? Will you die if you are caught?"
Princess Aurora answered truthfully, "I won't die right away, but if I'm locked up for a long time and can't leave my room for more than 7 days, I'll suddenly die. It's no use telling that cheap father. This is a game set by the system. NPCs with set fixed programs won't care whether I die or not."
"Okay, I will definitely find a way to speed up the selection of a prince consort. Once we are officially married, your difficult task will no longer exist..."
Philip didn't even feel that his words were scalded, but Princess Aurora shyly looked away. To avoid embarrassment, she no longer looked Prince Philip in the eye.
When Philip noticed his companion's state, he realized that he had become accustomed to living with him day and night and acting as husband and wife in the fairy tale world.
The previous world of Chu Chengan and Lu Zhenqiu was the Little Mermaid Princess. They were also an official CP. Due to the magical operation, the fairy tale that should have ended in BE was changed into HE. In the first world, although they played the roles of children, one was a brother and the other was a sister, they were also the closest people to each other.
This kind of tacit understanding has now become more and more intense, and Chu Chengan has actually become accustomed to it. Even if there are more worlds in the future and he continues to act as someone who has a close relationship with Lu Zhenqiu, he won't feel embarrassed, right?
The horn urging people to turn off the lights sounded again late at night, and Princess Aurora had to leave here before closing time.
Philip thought, if only he could share a room with him, it would be dangerous outside in the middle of the night, but there was another person in his guest room, a little boy named Sykes. He was very patriotic, his father and grandfather were both loyal ministers, his family was full of loyal and brave men, and he also wanted to overthrow the current villain forces, the left and right prime ministers. He was very likely to report the princess' escape...
Philip returned to the room and found that Sikes was still awake, with his eyes closed as if waiting for him to come back.
"If you keep going to bed late at such a young age, you might not grow taller," said Philip.
Sykes chuckled.
"Look, I'm already lying on the bed, ready to sleep at any time. What about you? How dare you criticize me? Where did you go fooling around just now?"
The most interesting thing is that Philip actually said that he can't grow taller. Did he forget that he said his height explosion period might be after the age of 18? Philip doesn't want to grow taller?
It seemed that he was destined to be a dwarf in this world.
"Where have you been fooling around?" Sikes asked again when Philip ignored him.
"Hmm? Chatting with friends after dinner."
"Don't try to fool me. Your friend Hansen lives on the same floor as us. When he went to the bathroom earlier, I saw him go back to his room to rest. Also, aren't we having dinner in the same cafeteria? I saw with my own eyes that you rushed upstairs before you even finished eating. Do you have other friends that I don't know about?"
"..." What should Philip say? Princess Aurora's life is already in danger when she is out there, so it would be better if fewer people knew about her whereabouts.
In order to divert the topic of Sykes, Philip pretended to be a very friendly good friend and sat down on Sykes' bed, without any hesitation that they had just met and it was not clear whether they were enemies or friends.
"Sikes, let me ask you, you said you have been to six fairy tale worlds? Can you tell me about the first few? I am most curious about the worlds that others have been to. Please teach me some of your experience so that I can be prepared if I encounter them in the future."
"You have already passed through eight worlds, but you still need to ask me for experience, someone who has only passed through six worlds? Why don't you tell me about your eight levels first?"
Philip successfully changed the topic, and he had long expected that people would ask him about the fairy tale world he had experienced.
Fortunately, he read enough fairy tale storybooks in his childhood, so it should be easy for him to improvise another five worlds, right?
Philip told the stories of Little Red Riding Hood, the Pied Piper, Thumbelina, the Pinocchio, and the Black Swan.
Sykes was stunned after hearing this. Philip thought, is he too arrogant? He has only experienced six worlds, which is not too long. Although luck is the main reason for his survival, this kid must have some personal strength and good overall qualities.
Philip asked, "Do you think I'm strong? Don't worry, if you can be my little brother, I guarantee that you will be successful in the fairy tale world in the future."
"...No, you mentioned the Little Mermaid earlier? And the Sea Witch?" Sykes heard Philip stepping on the character of the Sea Witch many times.
"Yeah, isn't the Sea Witch a villain? She bullies the mermaid princess and helps the evildoer."
"Who? Who told you?" Sikes looked at him suspiciously.
“Isn’t it?” Philip also widened his eyes. He was no longer a little baby who would ask questions when he didn’t understand. He was now in the rebellious period of adolescence. If someone dared to put forward theoretical opinions contrary to his, he would strongly refute them.
Sikes thought it was a little strange to sit on the bed and talk so close to Philip, so he got out of bed and paced back and forth in the room, which was only dimly lit by a few candles.
He thought: Prince Philip's reaction to the Sea Witch was so great, most likely this must be a world he had personally experienced, and he also had enough information about the world of the Sea Witch.
Sykes suddenly asked: "Sea Witch? Are you Prince William from the previous level?"
"W-what? How is that possible? How do you know? Are you also in the previous level? Are you the Sea Witch?"
Seeing Philip standing up and alert, Sykes quickly spoke to comfort him. He waved his hands and said, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I have never played the Little Mermaid Princess, so it certainly can't be the Sea Witch. The last level I played was the Little Red Riding Hood you mentioned earlier, but the Little Red Riding Hood in our level was the bad guy. She entered the wolf village and wanted to kill all the innocent wolves... It's quite different from the Little Red Riding Hood story you told me earlier."
"...Well, it could also be that the stances are different. The person who got Little Red Riding Hood's identity card happened to be a bad guy." Philip, who had never actually played Little Red Riding Hood, was still trying to make excuses.
"Forget it, that's not important. My friend was in the world of the mermaid princess you mentioned in the last game. Do you want to know more? But you have to at least tell me whether you are Prince William in the last game or not?"
Philip thought for a few seconds. The world map of the mermaid princess in the previous level was very large, no smaller than this world at all. But at that time, the world had already begun to rain fire, and there was no time to explore many places, so it was not surprising that many characters were missed. Didn’t the system also say that there were two other players who would share the reward with them?
“I am Prince William.”
Sykes was excited after hearing this, as if he had thought of something interesting. He sat down on the sofa again and crossed one leg, not at all like a child in his body: "Haha, Xiu'er, is that you? I heard that you threw the Sea Witch into the sea with the intention of killing her? Do you know why she is called the Sea Witch?"
Is it because she is also from the same underwater race as the mermaid princess? She can swim in the deep sea, so she can't drown?
But the situation was so urgent at that time, how could Chu Chengan, who was still Prince William, care so much? If he didn't take action to throw her out of the barrier, she would hurt the mermaid princess...
Philip sat down angrily on the sofa where Sikes was.
"What role did your friend play in The Little Mermaid? Why did she know so much about me throwing the Sea Witch out? There were only three of us there at the time..."
"Yes, because my good friend..." Sexton paused, leaving the question unanswered, "is the Sea Witch, who happened to be on the opposite side of you at the time."
Philip was petrified when he heard this. What? Sykes was actually... He actually told Sykes so much?
Philip jumped up and threw himself at Sykes, but was deflated by Sykes with some clever moves.
"Don't be so hasty to attack me. I may not be your enemy, and neither may the Sea Witch."
"Why not? The Sea Witch is so inhumane that she actually peeled off the mermaid's scales piece by piece in the previous level of the game. Do you know how painful it was for the mermaid?"
"...That's the information the system told the Sea Witch, saying that a mermaid scale is worth 200,000 game coins? Game coins can be exchanged for resurrection items to revive your dead companions in previous games. If it were you, would you take the mermaid scale?"
"But...but I can't do that. That's too cruel..."
"Cruel? You actually said cruel in a horror fairy tale game? Didn't your companions die in the first eight games?"
"Of course it's not... it's..."
