Chapter 550 Fairy Tale Front
Luo gradually regained consciousness after a dizzy spell, but her mind was still confused and she didn't know where she was. It took her a long time to regain consciousness, and then she found herself lying in an open area that looked like a small square.
The sky is bright, the air is fresh, and there are many...strange-shaped houses in sight. In the distance, there are sounds of wind and movement coming from an unknown construction site, and nearby there are all kinds of chirping sounds.
Her head felt dizzy again, and then she saw two children squatting beside her, looking at her with their big curious eyes. There were also several red-eyed dwarfs (clones of the evil dwarf) standing next to her head, looking down at her with their scary and evil (that's what Luo thought) dead fish eyes.
Luo suddenly woke up completely and jumped up instantly: "Ah!"
The surrounding children suddenly exclaimed "Wow!", and some of them, who looked no older than elementary school students, began to clap excitedly. A few slightly older children walked over. One of them was a girl with golden hair that flowed like a waterfall, even the ends dragging on the ground. She excitedly shouted to the people around her, "I told you not to throw cold water! The one who threw it to me must be very lucky..."
Someone next to her replied: "You didn't need to pour the water? You didn't have time to do it! Don't think I didn't see you hiding the bottle in your hair..."
"Where am I?" Luo shook his head vigorously, looking at the surrounding situation in confusion.
It was her first time seeing such a bizarre human settlement. The houses surrounding the small square were so bizarre they looked like something out of a picture book. The tree houses, castles, and magic huts were all understandable, but she couldn't grasp the central theme of the cat climbing frame that stretched to the ground. Even stranger was the faint glimpse of a massive pyramid in the distance, resembling some kind of super-ancient ruin. It looked earthy, mysterious, rough, and yet so imposing. Surrounding the pyramid were a row of toilets, large and small, whose meaning she had no idea...
Luo looked into the distance again, and suddenly saw a bean stake sticking out from the horizon - he didn't know what kind it was, but it could climb so high without any support, and it even seemed to be using the clouds as a frame.
The scenery in the other direction was even more outrageous—it was a star port.
The ship perched on the high platform was recognizable at first glance as a battleship of the Priory of Saints style—but its bow had been repainted as if it was pretending to be a force of justice.
...Can this be a border area?
Luo subconsciously shrank her body, not knowing for a moment whether she had reached a safe zone or been kidnapped to some other den. Although she was surrounded by harmless-looking human cubs, she still felt a sense of crisis seeping from her bones. The sense of crisis mainly came from the chaotic scene around her that almost blinded her.
At this moment, a steady and friendly-looking person finally came out—a girl in a red coat.
"This is the 'Fairy Tale' town. I'm the person in charge here. You can call me Little Red Riding Hood," Little Red Riding Hood said, looking at the elf in front of her. "If you're talking about this valley... it's the base of the 'Inn'. Did Yu Sheng bring you here? He didn't even say hello to us."
Luo blinked and felt relieved - oh, he was indeed kidnapped to a new hideout.
"...My name is Luo," she patted her silver-white dress, which was already wrinkled and dirty from all the tossing and turning. Although she didn't know why there were so many human cubs in front of her, considering that there were also a lot of dangerous red-eyed dwarfs around, she still showed a very polite attitude. "I'm the scientific advisor who fights alongside Yu Sheng..."
Before she finished her words, the mass-produced doll closest to Little Red Riding Hood suddenly blinked. Its dead eyes spun around and a bright light appeared. Irene's top account came online: "She was a black spot warlord, but we captured her. Now she's helping us temporarily, so she's considered half one of us."
"Black Spot Warlord?!" Little Red Riding Hood's face changed visibly, and then she looked at Luo with eyes full of vigilance. Seeing this, the latter hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, but before he could say a word, he found that seven or eight grinning shadow giant wolves suddenly appeared around him.
Meanwhile, the blonde girl across from her, who had been happily watching the fun, suddenly raised a giant golden scythe. Her eyes, harmless one moment, were filled with a bloody chill the next. The murderous aura was like someone who had spent ten years tearing apart demons in some cursed land...
"He's half our own man!" Luo's hair suddenly stood up, his long pointed ears sticking to his scalp. "He's already been beaten! He was beaten before I came here!"
The long-haired girl was stunned for a moment, then looked at Little Red Riding Hood while carrying the scythe: "...is this what the Black Spot Warlord looks like?"
Little Red Riding Hood: "I don't know. This is my first time seeing it too."
"I told you I'm a scientist!" Luo was a little mad. "Don't you people from the border area know how to listen to others?!"
Little Red Riding Hood frowned, but just as she was about to say something, the door standing in the square not far away suddenly activated again. Then a girl wearing crystal dancing shoes and a royal dress rushed in from outside. As her royal dress quickly faded and returned to her daily clothes, she began to hurriedly report the situation in the nearby streets to Little Red Riding Hood:
"There's a huge hole in the old city! The tower that came down from the sky tore through the shields from the city center to the old city! The area around the old orphanage is now filled with thick fog and shadows—I saw from the sky that several groups of self-organized spirit detectives were trapped on Tai'an Road!"
When Little Red Riding Hood heard this, her expression changed slightly: "Tai'an Road? Is 'Belle' nearby?!"
"Yes, but don't worry, she was only slightly injured and was picked up by one of Dorothy's armored commandos," Cinderella said quickly. "Dorothy set up a medical camp nearby with a very good pediatrician..."
"Okay, you take a rest first. Snow White and I will go out and check out the situation." Little Red Riding Hood nodded, then suddenly turned her gaze and fell on Luo.
Only then did Luo belatedly notice the tense atmosphere around him and the busy and orderly flow of people in and out near the "door".
This square where a bunch of young boys, girls and children gathered... was actually the command headquarters behind the battlefield.
"There's a war going on outside," Little Red Riding Hood stared at the "dangerous extremists" in front of her. "Brother Yu went to deal with the tower. Irene wants us to help deal with the monsters that ran into the city before the incident is over. Now I'm going to lead the team to attack, and you have to stay with us."
Luo was stunned. Realizing that this group of children, most of whom looked underage, were actually the fighting force of the "hostel," she was completely stunned. "...A bunch of kids fighting in the city?! No, what's wrong with the people from your border area... Isn't this a bit extreme?!"
Rapunzel glared, "Hey no, aren't all you black people extremists?"
"That's not that extreme!" Luo was shocked. "Converted to human age, we can only tinker with dark psychic energy after we turn eighteen..."
This time it was Rapunzel's turn to look shocked.
I had only heard of it before, but it turns out there are actually places in this world where people are allowed to legally tinker with dark psychic energy.
How extreme...
But Little Red Riding Hood did not give Lo and Rapunzel a chance to continue arguing.
She quickly described the scene, confirmed the situation on the boundary bridge with Irene next to her, and then grabbed Luo's arm and dragged her out the door.
Luo felt as if he were being dragged along by a giant beast. The force on his wrist was like a vice. His enhanced and modified body (although not at the level of a warrior, it was still far superior to that of an ordinary person) was unable to withstand the strength of the red-clothed girl's deceptively slender arms. Caught off guard, he stumbled several steps. "Wait... why?!"
"Irene said you're only half one of us. I'm worried about leaving you out of sight," Little Red Riding Hood said without turning back. "Besides, I heard that this incident was ultimately caused by your Black Spot Group. Of course, you have to clean up the mess you created."
Snow White, who was following beside him, also agreed casually: "That's right. And since you're called the Black Spot Warlord, you must be a good fighter. I heard that the soldiers in your Black Spot Group are all elite and have a lot of advanced technology. We are really short of fighters here..."
"I've said it many times, I'm just a scientist," Luo said, almost crying, "I don't have the same power as them..."
But no one listened to her.
In a flash, she was dragged out the door by Little Red Riding Hood - large clouds of fog rushed towards her.
The gate on the square of the fairy tale town is connected to the "ruins" of the old orphanage, which is located deep in the old city. At this moment, this area has obviously been affected by the Spirit Fox System. The foggy city has been flipped and replaced the original real space.
Ordinary people in the neighborhood are now unconsciously hiding in various shelters under the influence of the Requiem system, and as the entire area is "flipped", they temporarily enter another dimension. The only things left here are thick fog and invading monsters.
Luo was still chattering when he left the house: "Then you took me outside, aren't you afraid that I'll run away? It's a mess outside with people fighting everywhere. If you guys are distracted, I won't..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw a sticky shadow falling from the sky. It suddenly exploded into countless twisted and chaotic phantoms in the fog. Low, hair-raising whispers and crawling sounds came from all directions. Everywhere she looked, the fog was filled with monsters.
It's taller, bigger, and waaaaghier than anything in the space station before.
She swallowed the rest of her sentence.
Little Red Riding Hood looked back and said, "Are you sure you want to run?"
Luo swallowed, looked around, and then looked back at the door that could lead back to the valley - a group of evil red-eyed dwarfs were guarding the other side of the door.
"I will stand behind you till death!"
