Qiu Xuan restrained the flamingo's sharp beak with iron chains in the same way as Lu Xingzhou had done before—it took her a lot of effort. She barely managed to calm herself down and finish the game first, and just as she was pointing the flamingo head down at the hedgehog, a voice sounded behind her.

"Can you tell me why cats grin like that?"

Qiu Xuan's hand shook, and the clumps of hedgehogs deviated from their original tracks, passed through the arch surrounded by the first poker soldiers, and disappeared into the trees.

“……”

"What do you know?"

The White Rabbit whispered beside her, "Your Highness, it's time for the next person to play." ”

"Shut up." Qiu Xuan turned her head and stared at Li Siyao, and slowly repeated: "What do you know?" ”

The overly shy girl stood up and smiled at her with her back to the group. "What can I know, I'm just a normal player, I'm just, Alice."

"You're just a handful!" As if she had finally had enough, Qiu Xuan ignored the persuasion of the rabbit NPCs around her, and grabbed Li Siyao's collar with one hand in a few strides. "It's always been you, and I've put up with you long enough. Now I ask again, where did Gu Qingyue go? ”

She said word by word.

"Qiu Xuan!" Lu Xingzhou, beside her, stood up and reminded her loudly.

At this moment, Li Siyao raised her chin slightly according to the force of the collar being grabbed, and there was a look in her eyes that she had never seen before. In other words, Qiu Xuan had never seen such an expression in the eyes of any human being.

Like the coercion of a giant beast, like the carelessness of an ancient god looking down on an ant, or even like she wasn't looking at a creature in the same dimension as her at all.

Qiu Xuan instinctively began to feel fear, as if the origin of the fear was engraved in the blood and bones of human beings, as if she was peeking at those fears that were far beyond her own cognition in her human body.

"Warning! Warn! Player Qiu Xuan made ......"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Lu Xingzhou hurriedly ran over with his exaggerated top hat with one hand, desperately squeezing his eyebrows at Qiu Xuan, "Everyone also saw that something happened just now, so let's continue the game quickly." Who's next, Sister Si Yao, it's your turn. ”

Li Siyao took one last look at Qiu Xuan, then gently removed her hand from her collar and turned around and walked towards the preparation area.

Seeing that Qiu Xuan was standing still and didn't move, Lu Xingzhou squeezed out a voice from his throat with hatred, "Hurry up, ancestor, do you think the mountain villa is so easy to let you go!" ”

As if waking up from a dream, Qiu Xuan reacted, and then returned to the rest area with Lu Xingzhou's front and back feet and sat down.

She didn't care about looking at Li Siyao's performance. With her face buried in her hands, the girl in the complicated red dress looked depressed.

The little monster on her shoulder gently arched her face with its head.

"It's fine." Lu Xingzhou sat next to her and whispered, "You are okay now, it means that Gu Qingyue will be fine, don't worry too much." ”

“…… Thank you. ”

Li Siyao's game over there was also unsatisfactory, and the hedgehogs that formed a ball flew out of the edge of the field in a straight line.

Lu Xingzhou seemed to want to say something to Qiu Xuan, but was soon so muttered by the white rabbit that he had to go on the field.

"Okay, okay." The boy curled his fingers in a strand of yellow hair that was not covered by his hat. Then, he suddenly took off the gorgeous and exaggerated top hat with both hands and gently placed it on Qiu Xuan's head.

"What are you doing?!"

Lu Xingzhou didn't speak, his whole body was enveloped in the sun, and the light gilded him with a layer of gold, and it was dazzling for a while.

Standing on the tee, he was almost adept at picking up the imprisoned flamingo and swinging his arms, and the hedgehog made a perfect arc in the air and rolled across the bulging six goals in a graceful curve.

It worked!

Before he could express himself, the danger sense in Qiu Xuan's brain rang out warmly. Without thinking much about it, she slammed down on the hat, got up from the chair and yelled at Lu Xingzhou, "Be careful!" ”

Immediately afterward, she saw the excited smile on Lu Xingzhou's face, the expression he looked at her after hearing the voice, the swelling of several flamingos breaking free from their cages, the rows of sharp and fine teeth in their sharp beaks, and the red pigment stained on the hair dyed blonde by the sun.

“……”

It all seemed like it happened in a moment, and it seemed like centuries had passed.

Qiu Xuan stood in place, looking at the yellow-haired boy who was directly bitten off the artery and fell to the ground, speechless for a long time.

This was not the closest she had come to death, but she felt like someone had choked her throat, and it was difficult for her to speak.

"Let's go!" Beside her, Qin Jiuyuan grabbed her violently and ran out of the garden. The mutated flamingos that had lost their minds began to attack indiscriminately, filled with their hoarse roars and screams from the NPCs.

The Red Queen's garden was completely stained with her favorite red.

Qiu Xuan was almost numb and ran out of Qin Jiuyuan's lead, and she saw Gu Qingyue who appeared out of nowhere in the panicked crowd. The elusive Cheshire Cat was pushing Yang Luoluo to run out.

They kept running out of the monsters' attack circle, and before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the piglet on Qiu Xuan's shoulder suddenly jumped down and let out a roar towards the garden with its little head up.

Immediately after, the little monster that didn't know what was stimulated rushed towards the dense forest in the opposite direction with its fangs that had not grown together, and disappeared without a trace after a while.

"Dingding, ding! Congratulations to all players for achieving the achievement - Death of the Mad Hatter! The second chapter of Alice's Crazy Tea Party is officially over! ”

They returned to their original villas.

Yang Luoluo, who arrived first, went upstairs by himself as soon as his feet touched the ground. The remaining three were silent, as if they were playing some game of "wooden man".

"Ahem, I'll talk about it first." Gu Qingyue spoke, "Actually, I didn't disappear during the game just now, but I was always behind you. Because my cue board says 'To spice things up to the game, the Cheshire Cat has been attached to the Red Queen to surprise her'. ”

“…… Then I don't need to explain more. Qiu Xuan said in a hoarse voice, "There are no special props or anything this time, as you can see." ”

“…… Lu Xingzhou died. ”

Gu Qingyue sighed, patted her on the shoulder, and didn't try to say anything more comforting.

"Everyone has a different fate." Qin Jiuyuan shrugged his shoulders.

When Qiu Xuan heard this, she looked at him as if she had never known this person. Seeing this, Gu Qingyue beside him said clearly, "I will also go upstairs first", and left the venue to them.

"Why are you looking at me like this," Qin Jiuyuan raised his eyebrows, "You don't know me anymore?" ”

“…… I'm waiting for your explanation. ”

"Okay." The man casually found a sofa and sat down, and said casually:

"It couldn't be easier."
