"What is this place?" Ning Fei looked around, his eyes slightly surprised.

The bright Western-style auditorium, with its solemn white décor, a band playing beautiful music, and benches filled with guests with blessed smiles on their faces, they applauded softly.

"This is, the wedding?" Ning Fei felt as if he was dreaming, especially when he saw the bride wearing a white wedding dress opposite, standing in place as if he had been electrocuted.

The bride's white peacock tail feathers bloomed behind her, and the silver waterfall of lace trailed with a pair of white crystal heels made her look so flawless. The extremely thin transparent stockings wrap around the curvaceous and slender legs, which adds a bit of flirtatious taste.

The bride blinked her starry eyes, a pair of bright eyes flashed a hint of playfulness and joy, her pretty face was slightly red, and she pouted slightly: "Fool, what do you think?" Such a fascination! ”

"Zhiyi......" Ning Fei muttered heartbrokenly, the bride in front of him was none other than his childhood girlfriend in the real world!

"Fool, why are you crying." Chen Zhiyi gently stroked Ning Fei's face, with a happy smile on her face.

During the time when he was terminally ill, Chen Zhiyi had been by his side to take care of him, never abandoning him, and Ning Fei's heart had extremely deep feelings for her.

"It's all over, we're finally together, aren't we?" Chen Zhiyi said softly.

"yes, everything will pass." Ning Fei nodded.

At this time, the pastor solemnly recited the oath: "Ms. Chen Zhiyi, are you willing to marry this man in front of you?" No matter rich or poor, no matter health or illness, no matter good times or bad, always love him, never abandon him forever, are you willing? ”

Chen Zhiyi raised her head and said solemnly: "I am willing." ”

The priest smiled and nodded, then he turned to Ning Fei and asked the same question, "Mr. Ning Fei, are you willing to marry Miss Chen Zhiyi as your wife?" Are you willing to love her unreservedly and be loyal to her forever, no matter whether she is rich or poor, whether she is healthy or sick, whether she is good or bad? ”

Ning Fei felt as if something was blocking his throat.

Chen Zhiyi looked at him with a hopeful face, and those eyes were so beautiful that it was difficult for Ning Fei to refuse. He knew he was in the illusion of a little match girl, but so what?

"I do." Ning Fei finally said these words, and for a while, the guests stood up and applauded the newlyweds, and countless white pigeons flew up outside the auditorium and circled around the auditorium.

"Fool!" Chen Zhiyi excitedly threw herself into Ning Fei's arms, two jade arms wrapped around Ning Fei's neck, her face full of happiness.

Ning Fei hugged her, the silky feel of the wedding dress spread in his palm, all this was so real, he really didn't want to wake up from this dream.

But he finally restrained himself.

"I'm sorry." Ning Fei whispered in Chen Zhiyi's ear.

"I know, you're not real. It's all an illusion, and the real you is still frozen in a time stream, waiting for my return. Ning Fei continued, "So, I'm sorry. ”

Ning Fei gently pushed Chen Zhiyi away, and his gaze became extremely firm. Chen Zhiyi's body began to fade, and everything in the auditorium slowly turned into a virtual shadow.

"Fool." Chen Zhiyi smiled at him with tears in her eyes before she dissipated.

Ning Fei's consciousness returned instantly, and when he opened his eyes, the match in the little girl's hand was still burning.

"Big brother, you woke up before the match was extinguished, you are so powerful!" The little girl's face was full of excitement.

On the other side, Ning Fei noticed that Mu Qingyan was immersed in the illusory world and did not wake up, but he didn't know what the scene was in her illusion.

By this time, the matches had finally burned out, and only a little black sawdust remained.

"Ahh Mu Qingyan woke up violently, and her godless eyes instantly brightened, but there was a faint sense of loss in them.

"It's okay." Ning Fei asked with concern.

Mu Qingyan shook his head, looked at the little girl, and responded in a low voice, "It's okay." ”

The little girl smiled slyly, she shook the match in her hand, tilted her head and asked, "Brother and sister, now, do you want to buy my matches?" ”

Something touched Ning Fei's heart, in the illusion just now, he realized the dream he had always dreamed of, all of this was so real, it could arouse the deepest desires in people's hearts.

Mu Qingyan's expression was as indifferent as ever. Now that she knew that it was just a mirage, her heart gradually became calm.

"Little sister, how do you sell matches?" Ning Fei looked very interested and asked rhetorically.

The little girl put the matches back in her pocket and said, "Matches will be sold at Guangming Square at noon every day, and you can go there and queue up if you need to." ”

With that, the little girl left.

Mu Qingyan motioned to Ning Fei with his eyes and asked him if he wanted to follow the little girl. After all, he is the protagonist of a fairy tale, and there must be clues about the mission behind it.

Ning Fei shook his head, "Let's go around the city first, didn't you notice that this city is too quiet?" ”

Mu Qingyan frowned slightly, she had always felt that the atmosphere was a little weird since she entered the city, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, and she only reacted after Ning Fei's reminder.

It was daytime, but there was no one on the street, and it looked like a dead city.

"It's noon, let's go to the Guangming Square that the little girl said first." After Ning Fei finished speaking, he and Mu Qingyan continued to walk towards the center of the town.

Before they arrived, they saw a group of people gathered in the center of Guangming Square from a distance. Getting closer, Ning Fei saw the group of people meandering in line like greedy snakes, as if they were buying something.

"So many people? I'm afraid the whole city is coming. Ning Fei said with a deep groan.

He saw the group of people with hopeful smiles on their faces, holding all kinds of valuable items, jewelry, and money in their hands. At the front of the line, a man in a black robe stood at a table, trading with the group with matches.

The townspeople put their valuables on the table, then took a few boxes of matches and left contentedly. The black-robed man smiled kindly at the residents, and kept the items in his bags to keep the deal going.

"It looks like the whole city is attracted to this match." Mu Qingyan looked at the scene of the transaction and said

"Yes, matches can bring great joy to people, but I don't know if there are any after-effects of such matches. Isn't it extremely harmful to the human body like drugs? Ning Fei found that the crowd in line included both richly dressed nobles and ragged beggars, and all kinds of people mixed in.

"When the deal is over, let's follow the black-robed man and see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd?" Ning Fei didn't walk into the square, just watched the transaction from a distance.

"Look, that little girl is there too!" Mu Qingyan noticed that there was a carriage in the corner of Guangming Square, and the little girl selling matches was sitting on the carriage, looking at the crowd in the square boredly.

"The little girl and the guy who bought the matches, they must have something to do with the secrets behind the city of Glouston." Ning Fei noticed that the situation of the residents of this city was not quite right, they were like puppets without consciousness. Although the residents were smiling, the smile was so stiff.

The two of them waited for a long time, and it was about late afternoon before the match buyers gradually dispersed from Guangming Square. Then the little girl drove the carriage to the black-robed man and helped the man load several large bags of gold and silver into the carriage.

The man got into the carriage, and the two men drove away in the carriage satisfied. Ning Fei and Mu Qingyan quietly followed behind them in tacit understanding.

The carriage drove out of Glouston, wooden wheels crushing down the soft dirt paths. The man and the little girl had no idea that they were being followed, and they didn't seem worried.

Gradually, the carriage drove into a forest. Ning Fei and Mu Qingyan kept hiding behind the trees, quietly following. They kept a certain distance from the carriage so that the men and little girls would not find out.

After walking for about half an hour, the carriage finally stopped.

Out of the jungle came another figure, dressed in a dark purple robe, looking like a witch. However, Ning Fei and Mu Qingyan were far away, and they couldn't see the witch's appearance clearly.

The little girl and the man got out of the carriage, and the three of them didn't know what they were communicating, and they looked very happy.

"Gotta find a way to get closer." Ning Fei planned to lean over quietly. However, the three people in the distance were talking to each other, and basically everything around them could be noticed by the three people, and it was very likely that they would be discovered if they wanted to get closer.

Mu Qingyan bowed slightly, "Wait for me here." With that, she leapt into the air with a tap of her feet, changing shapes from branch to branch, and silently approached the three men, hiding in the branch of a tree near them.

Ning Fei was a little envious of this, although he had a surge of adrenaline and wind boots, but it only helped his speed. Actions such as this require players to have extremely strong physical ability.

Ning Fei didn't know what the three of them were discussing, so he could only hide behind the tree and wait quietly.

He saw three men begin to carry the gold and silver treasures that had been traded in the wagon. There was a huge tree beside them, and there was a man-high hole in the tree, into which they carried all the bags containing the treasures.

"What the hell are these people doing?" Ning Fei became more and more curious about the mysterious three.

Mu Qingyan never came back, gradually, the night was deep, a crescent moon hung in the air, and the bright moonlight sprinkled down, casting a silver veil on this forest.

"Click, click, click."

At this moment, Ning Fei heard a slow and rhythmic footsteps behind him. Ning Fei's eyes changed, it was already late at night, who would come to this forest at this time period?

He jumped on the branch and completely hid himself in the leaves.
