Because the only watch was in Yu Pu's place, I could only approximate the time by silently counting the numbers, and when I silently counted to "2711", the scene in front of me finally changed, and it was no longer a thorny passage that had been spreading, and at the end of the passage, a castle stood quietly there.

Since there is a king, it is normal to have a castle. I forced myself not to make any guesses, and focused all my attention on the numbers I was silently chanting, slowing down slightly towards the castle.

There was still calm all around, no sound was heard, and all the clearings were covered with thorns except for the passages and where the castle was, all the way to the outer walls of the castle. I couldn't tell how big the castle was because of the thorns, but I vaguely felt that it was about the same size as the castle in the crystal slipper. However, I did not see any sign of anyone in the castle, perhaps because the walls of the castle were cut off from all sound.

I took a deep breath and walked to the gates of the castle, controlling myself to focus on the numbers, and reaching out to push open the heavy door.

"Squeak-"

There was a rusty sound from the door, followed by a heavy smell of dust. The fine dust drifted into my nose, making me feel itchy in my nose and throat, and I couldn't help coughing and waving my hand to drive away the dust in front of my nose. After getting used to it for a while, I finally didn't feel uncomfortable, and then I stepped closer to the castle.

There was no light in the castle, it was darker than the outside, and by the subtle light that came through the door, I could dimly see that there seemed to be many dark shadows in the hall. Squinting at the silhouettes of the dark shadows for a few seconds, he finally realized what they were.

The second I saw it clearly, I only felt a burst of cool air from the spine directly to the brain, horror and fear occupied the milk for a moment, and the only remaining reason suppressed all thoughts and remained calm - those dark shadows were all human!

There's no danger here, no one is going to hurt me, it's just a beautiful fairy tale, I'm safe, I'm safe

I said frantically to myself as I stared at the shadows with wide eyes, and it took a while for the fear to subside before I slowly determined that they were all inactive. I mustered up the courage to approach the nearest dark shadow, the darkness made everything blurry and terrifying, and I suddenly felt that when I got home, I would have to rummage for any flashlights or other lighting tools.

Until I walked up to the shadow, it still didn't respond.

It was a man taller than me, who looked middle-aged, with a mustache and motionless with his eyes closed

I hesitated for a moment, reached out and touched his face, and the warm, soft touch I felt on my fingertips told me that this was indeed a living person.

Frightened, I jerked my hand back and swallowed. I don't think the others need to look any further, they are all in the same situation as the one in front of me, but they feel warm and warm, but why are they all closed their eyes and do not move?

I slowly stepped away from the man, and after taking in my surroundings, I decided to walk towards the stairs in the middle of the hall. It's not that I don't want to search more closely, it's that I'm a road idiot myself, and I can get lost wherever I can see, let alone in the darkness where I have a worse sense of direction. I can only choose a road with obvious signs to make sure that I can return the same way and not get lost.

The crisp sound of the soles of the shoes hitting the stairs was terrifying as it swirled and echoed in the quiet castle. I subconsciously took a deep breath to calm myself, but I inhaled a mouth full of dust, which caused a cough.

The silence of the place was terrifying, and I was alone, with no company and nothing to communicate with. I was so desperate to grab something that I couldn't take care of, and I reached out and grabbed the handrail on my side without caring that the handrail of the stairs was dusty.

Just when I grabbed the handrail, a tingling pain came from my palm, I subconsciously let go of the escalator and raised my hand, looking at the position of the handrail, I don't know what stinged me, but I saw that the position I had just grabbed began to light up a little fluorescent. Bright green fluorescent, a familiar color – the color of the Earth's symbol.

As I stared at the little fluorescence in amazement, the fluorescence seemed to come to life, and from that point on, a curved and swaying fluorescent line was born, extending up the handrail of the staircase.

Slightly stunned, I hurriedly followed the direction of the fluorescent line, which continued all the way to a room on the third floor, and drilled through a crack in a door.

I looked at the door, and without giving myself any time to hesitate or think, I reached out and grabbed the doorknob and pushed it open—

The fluorescent rays continued into the door, stretching to a large bed directly following the door, surrounding the person lying on the bed.

I walked towards the bed, and by the fluorescent light I could see the person on the bed—a beautiful girl. She lay quietly on the bed, her hands folded on her abdomen, her features as delicate as porcelain dolls, her eyes closed, and she fell asleep with a sweet smile

I think I know what the last fairy tale was – Sleeping Beauty.

I looked at the girl in front of me and had a headache, I know the story of the sleeping beauty very well, how to wake her up and know, but what's the matter!?

Why did I become a prince for some reason, and I was interested in me all the way as if I was a Tang monk learning scriptures? It's either kiss or blood or heart, although I'm not ready to find a boyfriend, but I'm not ready to find a girlfriend either!

Resisting the urge to wake up the princess in front of me with a slap, I pinched my eyebrows for a while and did a good job of psychological construction, and then I suddenly leaned over and quickly touched her lips.

I was reluctant to do so, but it did lead to a magical change. The fluorescent line exploded into countless points of light and fell everywhere, and as the points of light fell, the entire castle changed. In an instant, the light filled the entire castle.

The blinding light made me turn my head, and then I found that there was a window next to it, and through the window I found that the thorns outside were rapidly pushing away, revealing the original earth, and the earth was also rapidly turning new green and growing new grass. The trees hidden in the thorns on both sides of the original passage also began to grow green leaves, becoming lush and full of life.

It seems that the whole world here comes to life with the princess as the center.

I guessed it, I know.

Turning her head to look at the girl on the bed, she slowly opened her eyes, blinked lightly, seemed to have just woken up and was a little dazed, and then sat up from the bed, a pair of beautiful brown eyes looked at me, with a slight surprise on her face.

"You"

"Baby!"

Before she could finish her sentence, a stocky middle-aged man rushed in through the door, threw himself on the bed with a nimble movement that did not match his figure at all, and hugged the princess who had just woken up.

"You're finally awake!"

That's the king, right? I squinted slightly at the crown on the top of the man in the middle. I don't blame me for paying attention to his crown, but it's because the red gem set on it is so eye-catching that it's hard not to notice. But speaking of which, the king can give birth to such a beautiful daughter is also 666

"Did you wake up our daughter?"

A nice female voice came, and I immediately looked back at the source of the sound, only to realize that another person appeared at the door of the room. This is a very beautiful middle-aged woman, with a graceful and elegant temperament, and from her princess-like facial features, I can judge her identity - the queen here. It seems that the princess is with her mother, fortunately with her mother.

"Ah, hello?" I hesitated for a moment before replying, after all, it was a queen, and I didn't know what to say for a while, but I answered her, "That's me." ”

"My daughter has been asleep for a long time." The queen looked at the princess who was held in the king's arms and smiled softly, "We are the rulers of the fairy tale forest, everything was quiet and peaceful here, until the year my daughter was born, and a group of outsiders like you were welcomed here. ”

Is this a forced explanation? The corners of my mouth twitched, but I didn't interrupt the queen, and listened intently as she continued, for there might be some important information in her words. Do outsiders like me have anything to do with us?

"Those outsiders didn't belong here, and their arrival surprised the inhabitants of this place, but then they also brought disaster."

Disaster? As I thought back to what had happened and what I had guessed, I felt as if I had touched on the truth.

"They bring evil thoughts and malice, and that's a terrible force, a power that completely influences us to change our behavior." The queen sighed, and there was a look of fear, helplessness, and sadness on her face.

"With such a force, the fairy tale forest has completely changed. We used to be peaceful, but with the influence of that power, we began to attack and start hurting, attacking each other's companions, friends, relatives, and also hurting outsiders, who all died here because of the evil power they brought with them. ”

"Even my daughter was cursed because of it, a witch who was affected, and under the influence of that power, she cursed my daughter, saying that she would die because her finger was punctured by the spindle of the loom. Thankfully, another witch suppressed the curse and prophesied"

The story of Sleeping Beauty, which I am familiar with, prophesied that the princess would fall into a long slumber and eventually be awakened by a prince's kiss.

In a few hundred years, she said, a new group of outsiders will arrive, and they will come for the key to the Tree Gate, all the way through the layers of evil forces in front of them, all the way to this place. A special prince who is no longer affected by this evil force will awaken my daughter and will also save the entire fairy tale forest. ”

The Queen's eyes looked at me with a smile, "And here you are, dear special prince. ”
