Chapter 17: Red Riding Hood

This bold idea had actually come to Zuoqiu's mind much earlier. But it was quickly rejected by self-defeat. Now that the impossibly beautiful queen was standing in front of him, the thought came to me again.

And the more you think about it, the more likely it becomes, and all the strange things before make sense because of this.

Why is she obviously Snow White, but not as beautiful as the queen.

Why is she obviously an adult and looks like a little girl?

Why did she wear a red hood even when she slept.

Why are there no dwarfs in the cabins in the forest.

Why did you meet a witch on the way?

Why is it written on the quest to fulfill White's wish instead of fulfilling Snow White's wish.

What's more, at the beginning of the game, why did the wandering poet who told the story know so much about Snow White. Why does that story stop when Snow White enters the forest? Why is it that the wandering poet is obviously praising Snow White and belittling the vicious queen, but the small-minded queen did not send soldiers to kill these wandering poets who spread rumors.

It's a trap, a trap that creates cognitive errors.

Seeing Zuoqiu's movements stop, the queen grabbed his wrist with some coquettishness, as if she wanted to lead him to close the corset.

But the hunter's hand did not move at all. His strength turned out to be great.

The hunter looked up, and there seemed to be a suffocating black hole in his lifeless eyes, and the queen was surprised that she had a moment of horror and dazity when she looked at him.

"Snow White?" I only heard the hunter ask in a low voice.

The queen frowned, and said with an unhappy face, "You are not allowed to call me this title in the future, I hate it, no one in the whole castle dares to call me that, now I am not a princess, but an empress." ”

The hunter let out a silent chuckle. Even if the queen didn't speak, he should know the truth from the greatly changed face of "Bai Xue" not far away.

Zuoqiu shook off the queen's hand and threw the magic belt to the ground. He ignored the latter's surprised gaze and looked straight at "White Snow"

No, it's not appropriate to use "white snow", think of it, a minor Lori, with a red hat and a basket of flowers, went to the forest and called grandma.

"Little Red Riding Hood, right?" It should have been an inquiry, but Zuoqiu said it with great certainty.

He was too preconceived, and because the task was to fulfill Snow's wish, he limited his thinking, causing him to mistake Little Red Riding Hood for "Snow White" at first sight. In fact, he knew early in the opening CG of the game that it was a fairy tale mix.

Zuoqiu, who learned that he had recognized the wrong person, immediately became a second and five boys.

"Queen, I am actually a killer hired by Little Red Riding Hood, but I can't bear to be overwhelmed by your beauty, so I turn against you, please quickly bring Little Red Riding Hood to justice, and then I will suffer endlessly." A paragraph of a sentence is spat out without any punctuation. After a few seconds of confusion, the queen reacted very quickly and waved her hand to order. "Catch her."

A few guards surrounded Little Red Riding Hood, whose hands were trapped. It's really not ashamed for such a group of big men to bully a girl.

But the girl was not afraid, not only was she not afraid, but there was a very innocent smile in her eyes.

"Roar......" Little Red Riding Hood let out a low growl, her slender fingers sprouting like green tendons, and on her pink fingers, the nails suddenly grew, and these nails were like blades. Little Red Riding Hood easily broke free from the shackles in her hands, and with even greater ease, she reduced the swords raised by her attendants to useless pieces of iron.

This shit plot combines Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf.

Zuoqiu finally figured out why the pair of crimson eyes that had appeared when she wanted to leave last night.

Little Red Riding Hood was incredibly fast, and when she leaped to her feet, the flying red robe blocked the view of the attendants. Steel is nothing to sharp nails, let alone a human body.

A stream of blood splattered out, and the dead guards looked like a watering jug in the garden.

Little Red Riding Hood was terrifying, but as more and more guards arrived from outside, she grew overwhelmed.

Zuoqiu turned his head to look at the queen, who was taking the crown from her head, and the crown was inlaid with a piece of broken glass, which looked unusually simple and unruly compared to the dazzling pearl diamonds around her.

"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, can Little Red Riding Hood be defeated by me?"

From the shard, which was no more than the size of a fist, a strange faceless face was revealed, his face pulling at the otherwise flat mirror.

"Oh, my beautiful queen, your squire is mighty, but Little Red Riding Hood is more powerful than you can imagine, she was raised by an evil witch and endowed with the magic to transform into a werewolf, and your squire is as fragile as a blank sheet of paper in front of her."

The Magic Mirror's words just fell. Little Red Riding Hood's body changed again, two sharp teeth showing from the corners of her mouth, and her movements became wilder. Little Red Riding Hood threw away the basket of flowers, and the apples and flowers flew into the sky and then fell. She jumped onto the back of one of the attendants, ten fingernails digging deep into the flesh of the attendant's shoulder, and she leaned down to bite the attendant's throat fiercely, then shook her head and tore off the tender piece of flesh.

The attendant made a strange noise and fell to the ground with a bang.

Zuoqiu felt that he should do something, and he would definitely not dare to rush up to his death, but he had an arrow behind his back. Zuoqiu took off the longbow, put on the arrow feathers, and pulled the bowstring.

"Whew!" The arrow made a sound that broke through the air, spinning and piercing into the soft flesh.

Zuoqiu watched as one of the guards who had been hit by the arrow fell, and threw away the bow and arrow in his hand under the queen's malicious gaze.

Aside from the path that was enchanted at the beginning, he doesn't seem to have played much in this quest so far. On the contrary, he was led by the nose all the way.

"Magic Mirror, how can you defeat her?" The queen also saw the uselessness of Zuoqiu.

"Every night, her werewolf strength drops, as long as she survives."

"How do you get through that?"

Little Red Riding Hood's palms begin to grow gray hairs. Her eyes were straight into a thin line, as if she were tired, and she was approaching the queen in the midst of a fight.

The Magic Mirror didn't answer. Zuoqiu knew the answer.

The theorem of everything is always simple. If you can beat it, you can fight it, and if you can't beat it, you can run away. It's just that staying in the palace is never safer than outside.

He decisively took the queen's hand and ran towards the door in the confusion.

"What are you doing?" The Snow Queen shook her hands and tried to break free.

"Run."

"He's right, my dear Snow Queen, and in this case you can only escape." Magic Mirror said, hearing what the Magic Mirror said, the queen quieted down, she followed behind Zuoqiu, and ran out of the palace with her, running out of the castle.

But it didn't take long for her to get tired. After becoming the queen, she spent most of her time in a chair, a soft bed, and her physical strength was used on how to better please herself in bed.

"No...... Can't run. The Snow White clutched her stomach, her brain briefly blank due to lack of oxygen. Zuoqiu turned around, and they were already some distance from the castle. But at Little Red Riding Hood's speed, if you rest, you may not be able to catch up in a few minutes. In desperation, he had no choice but to carry the queen.

"Magic Mirror, where are we going to run?" Zuoqiu asked by the way.

"I'm not going to answer dirty men's questions." The magic mirror in the crown made a vomit expression.

“……”

Fortunately, the queen repeated the question of Zuoqiu.

"Beautiful Snow Queen, we should go to the dwelling of the seven dwarfs in the forest."

"You mean asking the dwarves for help?"

"Help? No, no, No, Your Highness, they had already been killed by Little Red Riding Hood, their heads were buried around the perimeter of the hut, and their hats were nailed to the walls of the house. ”

"Now that they're dead, what am I going to do in the cabin?" Hearing that the dwarves were dying, there was a trace of sadness in the queen's eyes, but this sadness only lasted for a few seconds, and after a few seconds, the queen calmed down.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. My dear Snow Queen. The Magic Mirror said slowly, "She'll find you in the cabin when night is approaching." At night, Little Red Riding Hood has the ability to control wolves. However, the dwarfs' hut is enchanted and the wolves can't enter it, so Little Red Riding Hood will enter the hut alone, and you'll need the help of the hunters around you. ”

Yes, you need my help, and then wait until it gets dark, and more than ten hours will pass, and then there will be no time, how to complete the task. Zuoqiu, who was listening to the conversation under the Snow Queen, said secretly in his heart, he muttered for a while, and then turned the queen upside down. After attracting the attention of this beautiful woman, Zuoqiu asked, "Empress, what is your wish?" ”

"Wish?" The queen repeated these two words with some surprise, she had not heard them for a long time. The last time I heard it was on her seventh birthday, when her father and mother were holding pastries and asking her about her wishes.

"I didn't." She replied.

The speed of Zuoqiu's running slowed down. "No?"

"Yes, I am the most beautiful woman in the world, and with so many handsome men around me, I am not short of power or money. What else do I need? ”

That's right...... There is no way to refute it. But Zuoqiu still couldn't accept this answer. Because it is impossible for the system to assign him a task that does not exist: "How can there be no desire?" He decided to get to the bottom of it.

The queen rested her chin on Zuoqiu's somewhat thin shoulder, and said as if talking to herself. "When I was Snow White, I did have a wish."

"Huh?"

"I want to hate my mother, she drove me into the forest and tried to kill me. I'm not convinced, I'm resentful, so I want her to die. ”

"Mother? Is that the beautiful stepmother? ”

"Stepmother? What are you talking about? My father took only one wife to my mother. ”
