The kitten, who was wearing beautiful boots and carrying a leather bag, opened the mouth of the bag with both hands, arranged the rice bran, and then covered himself with the back half of the bag, making a simple trap. Most of the young rabbits who have not been deeply involved in the world have failed to see through such cunning, and their eyes are attracted away by the rice bran, where can you see the cat in boots hiding aside? When the reckless rabbit enters its pocket, the cat in the boots immediately shows its form, tightens the noose, catches the rabbit, and strangles it to death without mercy!

When the cat in boots fell from mid-air, landed on the ground with an extremely elegant posture and posed as a JOJO, and flattered Ling Mo with a smirk on his face, for no reason, Zero's mind suddenly passed over the above little story.

The vague memories of childhood became extremely clear at this moment, even every word in the story, even the smile on the face of the holy grandmother and the gentle movements of her hands when telling the story were all exquisite, but the tone and tone of the holy grandmother at that time could not be remembered.

Looking back at the images in my memory, it is like watching an old silent movie on TV, where you can only see the exaggerated or grotesque movements of the characters in it, but you can't hear what they are saying, and you can only guess their joys, sorrows and sorrows from the perspective of a bystander.

Zero's perspective has been substituted back to her back then, the poor rural girl who came to the Holy See Hill at the age of seven or eight, from her perspective, gradually, Gradually, in the memory, the mouth of the saintess opened and closed faster and faster, and everything as a background became more and more blurred, in her frightened eyes, a cat in boots quietly appeared under the saint's grandmother's knees, walking around the other party's calves, rubbing a few times affectionately, Zero desperately wanted to see who it was, but the perspective could not turn to the front of the cat.

Just when Zero was secretly anxious, like sitting on pins and needles, constantly moving her perspective but not moving, the kind grandmother was tired of telling the story, she didn't seem to have any surprise at the appearance of the cat in boots, lowered her hand, touched the top of the other party's head gently, took off her reading glasses, closed the storybook in her hand, and fell into sleep peacefully. The boot-clad cat rubbed the palm of the Grandma Virgin's hand and screamed—no sound came from it anyway, probably yes.

When it confirmed that the holy grandmother had fallen asleep, Zero suddenly saw a trace of gloom from the cat's back, and just as she was secretly screaming in her heart, the cat suddenly took out the rope and leather bag out of nowhere, turned around, grinned with bloodshot and rabbit fur, showed its sharp fangs, shook off the pocket, and pounced on the frightened Zero!

Young Zero was frightened by the ferocity of the cat in the boots, and his whole body was stiff and completely unable to move, so he could only look up his face in a daze, and watched the open leather bag come towards him, like a bloody mouth, and he wanted to swallow himself even with his bones!

The speed of the leather bag did not slow down in the slightest, and when the last light disappeared from Zero's field of vision, the world fell into a deep and boundless darkness, and Zero, who was full of panic and fear, suddenly felt that something was on his neck, and it quickly tightened, and he was out of breath! In order to save himself from the terrible fate of a rabbit, under the impetus of fear, the young Zero summoned all his courage and strength, and let out a hoarse scream:

"Ah——!!! grandma!!, help——!!!"

Bang.

All the illusions disappeared suddenly, and Zero was sweating profusely and covered in cold sweat, maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and shouting at the top of his voice, standing in place, staring at the few people around him. The surrounding Nia, Connor, Kubaji, and Pikachu looked at her with more frightened eyes than her, not knowing which one she was playing or which style she was smoking!

Grandma?

Burst......

Noticing that the faces of the partners around him, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and was embarrassed to laugh, so he had to forcibly hold back, the muscles on his face were twisted, and his shoulders were constantly trembling.

At this time, Zero finally realized the embarrassment that she had not seen for a long time, she felt that she had never been so embarrassed in her two lives together! so embarrassed that she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground like the essay she wrote when she was a child! With a flushed face, Zero opened her mouth tremblingly, and she didn't know how to explain it for a long time, just when she was about to cry in a hurry, Ling Mo's voice sounded, which was regarded as relieving her:

"Have you seen a particularly real vision, so real that you can't tell whether it's reality or a dream, in the dream you seem to go back to your childhood, and from the perspective of a young version of yourself, you will experience the story you heard back then, and in a particularly terrifying form?"

Ling Mo's description was so apt that Zero's tears were about to fall, she nodded busily like a chicken pecking rice, seeing that someone understood her, her mood calmed down a little, and finally said a word:

"Yes, yes, yes, that'......s what Dad said! It's a dream, isn't it? It's terrifying anyway! I almost died in a dream! I wouldn't scream like that if I just died, but in my dream my age, even my mental age, was quietly reduced! When I became a little girl, I couldn't ignore anything about my willpower, and my heart was full ......of fear and powerlessness, and I couldn't suppress it at all."

Seeing that Zero was talking and talking, his whole body began to swing again, Ling Mo hurriedly walked over, gently stroked the top of the other party's head, and comforted him gently: "Don't be excited, don't be afraid, as a human being, your performance at this time is normal, and the performance of these creatures around you is different!"

Zero paused slightly, raised his head, and asked Ling Mo with teary eyes:

“...... Dad, really? I ...... I really...... A little scared... I'm scared!"

"Really, really, more really, more than real money. ”

Ling Mo's firm tone made Zero finally calm down completely, wiped a handful of tears, smiled shyly, and began to listen carefully to Ling Mo's explanation:

"For normal people, the fairy tales they heard when they were children will have more or less dark elements, some more alternative fairy tales, peeling off the cute skin of rabbits and little white sheep, their spiritual core is often very weird, and it is not an exaggeration to call it bloody and curious!

Cinderella can easily manipulate birds and oak trees to bring herself dance clothes and crystal slippers, and her sisters can cut off their toes and heels cruelly and without hesitation in order to wear her shoes;

The old goat's scissors cut open the belly of the big bad wolf, and the seven lambs that were eaten inside were still alive! That's it, the key is that the big bad wolf is actually alive, and he can drink water with a belly of stones stuffed into it!

The Frog Prince married a foreign princess, and when he returned to his castle, his 'faithful' servant Henry, the three iron hoops that were around his heart were broken one by one, and Henry wept with joy over his master's return...... Hum!

When listening to stories when they were children, children could vaguely perceive the sense of disobedience, but they couldn't say what was wrong or weird, and the adults refused to explain or couldn't explain it, and the seeds of doubt and fear took root in the children's hearts.

In the young minds of children, those fairy tale creatures are incomparably terrifying, and each of their 'magic weapons' is the deepest nightmare of children when they dream back at midnight! This fear is gradually forgotten as they grow older, but it does not really disappear, but deepens deeper and deeper in their hearts, waiting for a sudden outbreak one day!"

Listening to Ling Mo's explanation here, Zero's body no longer trembled, and after understanding the principle, the sense of fear and powerlessness subsided greatly, and she said thoughtfully:

"So, my current situation is that when Grandma Saint told me the story, I was so caught up in the play that I was so frightened by the cat's pockets and ropes in the story that I never came out of it, but as I grew up, I forgot about it. Now that I've met the main owner of the story, the nightmare of the year suddenly came back to life, and it caught me off guard, right?"

"That's what it means, it's really good that you can understand the essence so quickly. ”

Seeing that Zero had returned to normal, Ling Mo stopped caressing the other party, and in her regretful gaze, she took a step back and took her hand back:

"The more people who were affected by stories as children, and the more they thought about the stories they heard, the more they were affected when they met a fairytale creature like Zorro, and the more they fell into nightmares. After all...... Well, I'm not going to say good, if those fairy tales aren't harmonious and polished, they won't be much different from horror stories. ”

"Isn't that right? That's what those fairy tales feel, right? That's how I've always felt that!"

got Ling Mo's approval, and the words that Zero hid deep in his heart suddenly popped out like fried beans:

"After listening to the stories told by the Holy Grandmother, I always couldn't sleep all night, and the more I pondered, the more I felt, where is the slightest truth, goodness and beauty contained in these stories?

The prince turned into a frog, and was he sure that he hadn't fallen for the ninth-level forbidden spell 'torture demon' of the necromantic system?

Isn't it because the ugly duckling turned into a white swan because it was a swan egg from the beginning?

Even if she didn't pull it, and slept motionless on the vine bed for many, many years, wouldn't she have accumulated a thick layer of ash on her body......?

As she spoke, Zero suddenly noticed the strange and pitiful gazes of several people around her, she paused in a daze, spread her hands, and asked, "...... Am I saying something wrong?"

"That's right, you're right. It's just ......" Nia sniffed, stepped forward like Ling Mo, gently stroked the top of Zero's head, and said with pity and pity:

"A broken story, actually pondered by you when you were a child to this point, you must have been a shadow since you were a child, no playmates, maybe even the whole childhood is gray, right? Don't be in a hurry to deny, if you have a little friend, this kind of story has not been listened to by the friend called out to play, how can you still think so thoroughly, pondered to the point of scaring yourself?

Do you know? The more lonely a child is when he is a child, the more emotions he places on the characters in the story, and the more deeply affected he is when he really encounters fairy tale creatures! Well, the poor little girl who has been hiding in some dark corner since she was a child, fantasizing that there will be a prince to save her...... Woo!"

The last two sounds were the sound of Zero, who had been exposed, reaching out and covering Nia's mouth. Zero glared at everyone with terrifying eyes, with a super fierce expression of 'let's kill you again', and then she used her brain, quickly changed the topic, pointed to a few people around her, and said:

"Hmm...... Why was it only me who was affected? The other guys, all of them were exactly like nobody?"

"We ...... Is it?"

Several people present glanced at each other, and Connor took the lead in saying: "The fairy tales of your human race are not very popular among our dragon clan, and most of the stories I heard when I was a child are legends like 'If you don't eat well, there will be a brave man with a sword and a colorful auspicious cloud to cut you'. ”

Kubaji shrugged: "All the fairy tales in our clan are about scaring baby turtles, what will you be stuffed into your mouth by a pelican, you will be smashed on a stone by a seagull, etc., so only bird-like fairy tale creatures will cause me fear...... Oh yes, we all love rabbits, because every turtle is convinced that they can outrun rabbits!"

Pikachubie:

"Bika, Bika, Bikabi!"

Our language is not very rich, there are few stories, only one story that can be happy for a lifetime as long as you meet a blue cat named Tom!

Zero: "......"

"Don't be embarrassed about that, this mediocre hairless monster. Seeing that Zero's expression began to turn red again, Zorro (the cat in boots whose real name is Zorro) who had been listening for a long time suddenly spoke, and after a deep bow, he said:

"It is precisely because of you who listen to the story seriously, believe in the world in the story, and the children who all exist in the story, that we, the fairy tale creatures, were born in the fairy tale town and started our new life journey, sincerely, very, thank you!"

“......”

What is the evaluation of a mediocre hairless monster! Although I know that humans are ugly in the eyes of cats, I still really care about hearing this kind of statement!

Although Zero complained in her heart, she was thanked by Zorro, a genuine fairy tale creature, which made her a little happy, and when she was thinking about how to reply to Zorro to be decent and worthy of her innocence when she was a child, she suddenly heard Ling Mo's voice:

"Don't talk about these boring things anymore! You are so miserable in Zorro, if you are faced with a narcissistic queen, a vicious prince, a selfish giant, a naked emperor, and you are reminded of the emotions of your childhood, you will not have to cry on the spot?

Besides, Zorro, you came to me in advance, probably not to eat this crab leg? Don't you still have a wife and children to take care of? You can't keep the same bad habit of prostituting leopards and ignoring your family as you did the last time we met? Your wife Arctic Cat still can't clean you up?"

Hearing Ling Mo's question, Zorro's face immediately became gloomy, his claws popped out, his back arched, and the hair all over his body exploded, especially his tail, which looked like a large mallet!

"Arctic Cat...... Dead, my wife and children are dead!

We escaped Hans Christian Andersen's pursuit and returned to Fairytale Town, thinking that we could live a happy and peaceful life, but the diehards, old-fashioned bastards in Fairy Tale Town thought that the Arctic Cat was not a fairy tale creature, and that I married her and gave birth to a child who defiled the blood of Fairy Tale Town!

Ignoring my pleadings, they held a public trial, and after criticizing me, they sentenced my children and wife to death, and took them to skin and bleed the witches under the oak tree, and made the materials for refining medicine!!

Haha! We did not die at the hands of the murderous enemy, but at the hands of our own people who were even more murderous than the enemy! Hahaha, hahahahaha——!

Lord Watcher, I left the team and came to you early to offer you my loyalty, my treasures, in exchange for your help, so that those old-fashioned guys who deserve to hell will all go down to the lowest hell!

I want them dead!

All dead!

All ——!!!"
