The night in the Fairy Tale Town was composed of three
colors.
The moonlight was a desolate white; the darkness was thick
black, and the mist surrounding the monster children was a deep gray.
The dense mist slowly approached the castle, and a chilling
and tender voice of children could be heard intermittently from within the
mist.
As they got closer to the castle, white, deformed children
started to emerge.
Some of them appeared to be intact and normal, while others
had various incomplete and deformed features.
They were entirely white, with a greasy yellowish liquid
covering their bodies, and their sparse hair, lacking melanin, was clumped
together.
They sang songs, sometimes softly, sometimes heavily, and
expressionlessly appeared one by one, increasing in numbers, converging on the
castle from all directions.
Zhu Shuangshuang stood on the balcony of room 404.
The balconies of rooms 401, 403, 405, and 407 faced the
garden, while the balconies of the rooms opposite faced the back of the castle.
She stood there, watching the monster children slowly
approaching behind the castle.
Ji Mingrui stood on the balcony of the opposite room 403.
The doors of the two rooms were wide open, allowing them to
communicate at any time.
“Boss Ji, be prepared,” Zhu Shuangshuang’s voice came from
room 404, forcefully suppressing the trembling inside with a calm and loud
tone.
“Roger,” Ji Mingrui said, then he shouted loudly to Meng
Jiang at the garden gate, “Meng Jiang! Be prepared!”
Meng Jiang: “Ready! Standing by!”
Players on the fifth and sixth floors were all watching them.
“What are they preparing to do as the monster children are
about to arrive?”
“They are probably preparing to ignite the fuse at the best
possible moment.”
Their guess was correct.
Zhu Shuangshuang watched the first group of monster children
appearing at the designated location and said to Ji Mingrui, “Ignite it!”
Ji Mingrui immediately shouted to Meng Jiang, “Ignite!”
Meng Jiang, who had already prepared, immediately lit the
vine on both sides of the iron gate and then flew back to the castle.
The flames burned along the vines on both sides, gradually
surrounding the castle.
Zhu Shuangshuang stood on the 404 balcony and saw the flames
on both sides converging as the monster children approached, feeling relieved.
They had conducted several burning tests during the day.
Ji Mingrui experimented several times, recording the speed
and duration of the flames burning on the vines.
He also measured the perimeter of the castle using a
proportional method, calculating the distance and ignition time for the
approaching monster children.
Meng Jiang ran up and asked to room 404, “How is it? Did it
hold up?”
Zhu Shuangshuang nodded and loudly said to the boys in three
different positions, “It held up! No problems.”
Meng Jiang let out a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off his
forehead, and ran to the arched window to look outside.
Tonight, there were no dense vines on the arched window, not
even a wind-blocking glass, leaving the monster children beneath the castle
completely unimpeded.
They felt extremely unsafe.
Sui Sui in the corridor was trembling with fear, on the verge
of crying.
But they had no other choice.
It had to be this way.
The flames on the vines blocked the steps of the monster
children, who angrily stomped and roared outside the fire ring.
“Why are the flames so high? They’re almost as tall as the
monster children.”
“It might be because of these magical vines.”
“But even if it’s higher than we imagined, couldn’t the
monster children get angry enough to jump over?”
“At this height, they should be able to jump over during an
eruption.”
“Huh? How did the monster children disappear? They just
left?”
“They didn’t leave. They moved towards the castle gate! The
castle gate is not surrounded by a fire line!”
Players on the fifth and sixth floors rushed to the front
empty room terrace, which had arched windows and faced the castle, to observe.
Sure enough, all the monster children had moved to the front
of the castle and started climbing towards the iron gate.
“What is the fourth floor up to? I was just thinking they
might use fire to block the monster children, but then I realized they forgot
to surround the area outside the gate.”
“They really forgot? It’s normal for one person to forget,
but all four of them forgot such a serious oversight?”
“Hey, do you think it’s possible that they didn’t use the
fire line to block the monster children at all, but instead to lure them all to
the front?”
Several players were taken aback.
Perhaps due to the vines, the flames were much higher than
they had imagined.
They were almost as high as some of the smallest monster
children.
The current monster children couldn’t rush through the
flames, but they all knew that as the anger of the monster children increased,
their strength would also increase. When they became extremely angry, this
level of flames might not be able to stop them.
This was a matter of life and death, where they had to take a
desperate gamble and not take reckless risks.
If it were them, they wouldn’t dare to rely solely on this
fire line for protection.
“Why did they lead the monster children to the front? Trying
to hold the fort against all odds? Isn’t that ridiculous?”
“So many monster children, how is that possible? There must
be tens of thousands of monster children, and yet they still have such strength
even after becoming irritable.”
“Unless they planted bombs in the garden, but that would only
be about causing a fire in the kitchen. They wouldn’t be able to produce bombs
with such great power, right?”
“We don’t need to consider that method. The low-power ones
would be useless against the monster children, and the high-power ones would
cause damage to the castle and harm the mother’s body.”
“So what exactly are they trying to do?”
No one knew.
Monster children had been gradually crawling in through the
iron gate.
The monster children from the other three sides have gathered
in the front, so from this perspective, there were even more of them, densely
packed to the point of inducing fear in claustrophobic individuals.
The monster children in the garden have piled up to more than
one layer. The ones in the front entered first, and the ones behind continued
climbing forward, stepping on the previous group.
They stacked layer upon layer, directly reaching the height
of the second floor.
“Growl, growl, growl...“
Under the moonlight, the garden was filled with countless
densely packed, pale little monsters, eagerly stretching their arms upward.
A pale yellow, thick fluid slid down their hands and arms,
becoming greasy and slippery. The bottommost monster children found it even
more difficult to squeeze up.
Moreover, there were still monster children climbing up from
behind, adding to the weight.
The topmost layer of monster children had already climbed up
to the third floor and was about to reach the fourth floor.
“What are they planning to do? All the monster children are
coming up, yet they show no reaction at all!”
“With so many violent monster children, it’s impossible to
drive them out. They must have given up.”
“Who said they were planning to drive the monster children to
the front for disposal? I think they were just too nervous and forgot to block
the front with fire. They simply gave up altogether!”
Why wouldn’t they give up?
Had you ever seen a tidal wave of children?
Well, here it was.
The monster children piled up like a tidal wave. They were as
small as bubbles, but so densely packed that they could form a sea.
Who could resist them, especially now that they were all five
or six years old children, with their physical strength and abilities
correspondingly limited.
A six-year-old child might not even be able to defeat a
single violent monster child.
Zhu Shuangshuang took one last look from the 404 balcony.
When faced with something they inherently fear, it was
instinctive for humans to avoid it, and it’s not just them.
No one knew if the flames on the vines could stop the monster
children, but what’s certain was that with an alternative entrance, they could
be diverted.
All the monster children behind the castle went around to the
front, and there was no more mist appearing behind.
Zhu Shuangshuang emerged from room 404 and looked at Meng
Jiang in front of the arched window.
Meng Jiang nodded at him and said, “All the ones on the right
went to the front.”
Ji Mingrui also came out from room 403.
They all looked towards Room 405.
During the planning in the afternoon, Ning Su told them, “Lead
the monster children to the front of the castle. In the garden and on the
walls, I can handle over 90% of the monster children. The rest is up to you.“
He said, “I am powerless against the remaining ones. I
can indeed unleash my power, but my physical stamina is weak, especially since
I transformed into a six-year-old. My stamina is greatly limited, and I can
only manage that one attack.“
What else could the three of them say? If Ning Su could
control about 90% of the monster children alone, and they couldn’t handle the
remaining 10%, they would be too ashamed to face Ning Su.
They believed in Ning Su’s words.
But in reality, they didn’t know how Ning Su would control so
many monster children.
The monster children at the very front had climbed up to the
fourth floor. One by one, their pale white hands slapped against the bottommost
flowers of the lily plant on the fourth floor and continued climbing rapidly
upwards.
Below the fourth floor, the wide castle walls were densely
covered with more than one layer of monster children.
Looking down from above, countless upturned heads of white
monster children formed a thick layer, like a sheet of white cloth plastered on
the castle.
“They’ve really given up!”
“Quick, close the windows! The monster children are climbing
up!”
Players on the fifth and sixth floors hurriedly tried to seal
the windows, afraid of being affected by the monster children.
And it was at this moment that they witnessed an extremely
shocking scene.
A large crescent moon hung over the top of a massive castle.
This luxurious castle had multiple floors, each exceeding
five meters in height, with six or seven grand suites on each floor.
Compared to this castle, a boy of about five or six years old
was too small.
He was as tiny as a thumb-sized figure.
The little figure grasped a lily vine on room 405’s balcony
and somersaulted downward.
He gradually pulled the dense vines that covered even the
sixth floor.
Wearing a loose white shirt, the boy flipped in mid-air,
appearing like a reversed grain of rice under the moonlight.
He held onto the swaying vine as he descended, and the chilly
night breeze lifted his soft hair, causing his oversized shirt to billow and
making his figure appear even smaller.
Behind him, the lily vines grew wider as it trailed along the
floors—sixth, fifth, fourth, third...
The strange vines that densely clung to the castle walls were
peeled away layer by layer, as if removing a layer of skin from the castle. It
revealed a colossal web that gradually expanded in the sky, covering the
garden.
The monster children, who had been climbing up the vine, now
tumbled down with a clattering sound.
Accompanied by each falling monster children, there were
immature little skull heads hidden by the wisteria vines on the castle walls.
They all fell in unison.
The garden was covered in a thick layer of monster children,
and numerous other monster children were descending from the vines. Finally,
they were all crushed beneath the enormous network woven by the lily vines,
which rumbled down.
Boom—
The ground seemed to tremble.
The lily vines covered the entire garden, surging beyond and
extending several meters outside.
Countless monster children roared and wailed beneath the
vines, struggling desperately but in vain.
Exhausting his last bit of strength, as the lily vines web was
about to touch the ground, Ning Su flipped and jumped onto it.
