Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up

Zhao Xun transformed into a Persian cat and entered the king and queen's bedroom unimpeded.

The banquet hall was still very busy at this time, and there was no one in the bedroom.

Magic Mirror had been waiting impatiently for a long time. The moment he saw Zhao Xun appear, he shouted excitedly: "Hurry up, let me bask in the moon."

"What's the rush?" Zhao Xun jumped onto the dressing table in the shape of a cat and stood next to the magic mirror. "It's not midnight yet."

Before the magic mirror could speak, he asked again: "Do you have to bask in the moonlight for half an hour before you can leave this room, or can you leave the room and continue to bask in the moonlight after you bask in the moonlight?"

"You must be exposed to the sun for half an hour before you can leave this room." The magic mirror answered. "After the sun is exposed for half an hour, the contract between the queen and I will be considered terminated. I can only leave after the contract is terminated."

"I know." Zhao Xun glanced at the window next to the dressing table.

At this time, the window was half-open, and moonlight poured in from the outside and fell on the windowsill.

Looking at this situation, even if the window is fully opened, it will not fall on the dressing table at all, let alone the magic mirror.

The magic mirror seems to be unable to move on its own and can only be held by others, so it cannot walk to the windowsill to bask in the moon by itself.

Well, it might be that it was bound to the queen, so the magic mirror lost its ability to act independently.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Xun estimated that the time was almost up, so he turned back into his human body and picked up the magic mirror.

At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the specific time.

23:58

There are still two minutes until midnight.

Zhao Xun looked at the bedroom door.

At this point, Cinderella should be on the way, otherwise she would not be able to get here in time at zero o'clock.

Almost in the next second, Zhao Xun heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Soon, the bedroom door was opened, and a young woman wearing gorgeous palace clothes walked in.

The light in the room was dim, and with the bright moonlight coming in, I could barely distinguish the face of the person coming.

It is undoubtedly Cinderella.

"Come here quickly." Zhao Xun stood at the door of the dressing room and greeted Cinderella.

Cinderella was relieved when she heard a familiar voice.

She lifted up her skirt and walked quickly into the dressing room.

Magic Mirror saw another woman coming in, and was surprised: "Who is she?"

Zhao Xun did not answer the magic mirror's question. He opened the window next to the dressing table completely, and the moonlight spilled onto the window sill.

Choosing the time, at zero o'clock, he put the magic mirror out of the window on time.

The moonlight shrouded the whole body of the magic mirror, and the magic mirror let out a sigh of comfort, and immediately forgot to ask Cinderella about it again.

Cinderella stood next to Zhao Xun and watched all this, feeling her heart beating wildly.

Some excited, some nervous.

As time passed by, obvious fluctuations appeared on the surface of the magic mirror, like ocean waves, surging.

It just never jumped out of the scope of the mirror.

Zhao Xun kept looking at the time. When he saw that there were only five minutes left and half an hour had passed, he took out a [lively long rope] and tied the magic mirror into a rice dumpling.

"What are you doing?" Magic Mirror was a little confused.

One end of the rope was caught in Zhao Xun's hand. He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just an insurance policy."

He felt that it was very likely that the magic mirror would have the ability to act on its own after the contract was terminated.

The magic mirror had been excitedly thinking about where it would go after being free, and had not considered the fact that it could not move.

This is enough to prove that in the heart of the magic mirror, as long as it is free, it can move at will and does not need to be moved around to change its position.

Then, he must tie up the magic mirror.

Otherwise, as soon as the contract is terminated, the magic mirror may simply disappear.

The handle of the magic mirror was slippery and he wasn't sure he could hold it firmly.

Therefore, the safest way is to tie it up with your own special items.

The characteristics of [Lively Long Rope] mean that whatever is tied up by it cannot escape no matter how hard the prey struggles.

"What do you mean by taking insurance?" Magic Mirror's tone was urgent and angry, "Do you want to bind me? Let me tell you, I will never be bound by anyone again! And you don't want to be bound by anyone at all. If you don’t know how to make a contract, you can’t bind me!”

When it came to the last sentence, Magic Mirror seemed confident.

"I have no interest in binding you anymore." Zhao Xun's tone was calm, which was in sharp contrast to Magic Mirror's excitement. "Please be quiet. If you attract the people from the patrol team, you will be successfully released." The contract will still be re-contracted by the queen."

Upon hearing this, Magic Mirror stopped struggling instantly.

Although it is very dissatisfied with Zhao Xun's current behavior, the queen poses a greater threat to it.

The queen knows the method of the contract. If caught by the queen again, not only will the contract be re-bound, but the queen will definitely guard against it. It will be even more difficult for it to wait for the next opportunity to terminate the contract.

Zhao Xun didn't know the method of the contract, so he could only tie it up temporarily.

It has plenty of opportunities to escape.

The most urgent task is to terminate the contract before considering anything else.

After considering this clearly, the magic mirror became quiet.

Soon, the magic mirror was filled with moonlight for half an hour. The moment the contract was lifted, it could feel that its entire body became relaxed.

Its mood is also very happy.

But this pleasure only lasted for two short seconds.

When it was taken back to the room by Zhao Xun, it didn't feel so happy.

It feels uncomfortable to be controlled by others.

It finally got rid of the queen's restriction, but unexpectedly it was tied up by someone else again.

Really annoying.

"What do you want to do?" Magic Mirror couldn't help but ask, but this time its voice was very low, for fear of being heard by people outside.

Zhao Xun did not pay attention to the magic mirror, but looked at Cinderella: "You try to grab the handle of the mirror."

Cinderella looked at the magic mirror that was tied up by Zhao Xun and almost completely covered the mirror surface. She carefully reached out and held the handle.

Zhao Xun let go of his hand and ensured that only Cinderella was holding the magic mirror.

And he held one end of the "lively long rope" and controlled the magic mirror so that it could not escape control.

Just waited quietly for a while.

Nothing happened.

"It doesn't seem to work." Zhao Xun took back the magic mirror and said to Cinderella, "Let's go, let's leave here tonight."

When she first met Cinderella, her wish was to "get the queen's magic mirror."

Judging from Cinderella's subsequent performance, she did not know that there was a contract between the magic mirror and the queen.

From another perspective, in Cinderella's wish, this "getting" is just getting it literally, and does not mean a contract with the magic mirror.

Then Zhao Xun's task should be to hand over the magic mirror to Cinderella.

As for the follow-up, whether Cinderella can keep the magic mirror or whether the contract with the magic mirror can be successful is not a question for him to consider.

The only problem is that before leaving the kingdom, the magic mirror may still be within the queen's reach.

This was also the reason why he had just asked Cinderella to try to take away the magic mirror. If giving the magic mirror to Cinderella at this time would allow him to complete the task, then he would not have to think about what happened next.

But obviously, this task will not end so easily.

Cinderella's attempt proves that the magic mirror has not completely gotten rid of its former owner at this time, which means that Cinderella has obtained the magic mirror.

In this case, he would have to take Cinderella out of the territory of this kingdom.

"Leave now?" Cinderella was a little surprised, and then a little nervous, "Let's just leave like this. When the banquet is over, the queen will find that the magic mirror is missing, and she will soon be suspicious of me, right?"

"What does it matter?" Zhao Xun said calmly, "By then you have left this kingdom. Even if she wants to go to your kingdom to ask for the magic mirror, it will not be that easy."

At the end, he added: "Besides, you stayed with the queen throughout the day, so you have every reason to pretend to be innocent."

"That's true." Cinderella felt relieved.

Then she asked: "Then let's go directly? Will we be stopped by soldiers patrolling or guarding the gate?"

"I have observed that the patrol soldiers are very polite to you noble guests. Even if they see you, they will only greet you politely and will not stop you or question you." Zhao Xun said, "Behave more naturally. , don’t panic, you should be able to leave smoothly.”

"What if someone asks me where I'm going?" Cinderella asked uneasily, "Especially when I leave the palace gate, the guard will probably ask, right?"

"The guards will always change. The guard tonight cannot be the one you met during the day." Zhao Xun was very calm. "The other party doesn't even know that you are the princess from a neighboring country. They will only treat you like a princess." Treat it like other nobles in the country. For them, it is normal for a noble to occasionally leave a banquet and go home early, and there is no need to ask."

"I...I understand." Cinderella swallowed, took a few more deep breaths, and tried to relax herself, "I must behave naturally, so that I will not arouse others' suspicion, and others will not Come and question me.”

"That's right." Zhao Xun nodded affirmatively.

He actually considered turning into a flying animal and taking Cinderella directly out of the palace and out of the kingdom.

But you don’t have to try it to know that this will be very mentally draining.

On the one hand, if you can move people, you must become a larger animal. Maintaining the state of a large animal consumes more mental energy than maintaining the state of a small animal.

On the other hand, while maintaining the animal state, you have to carry a person, even a woman who weighs less than 100, this amount is much heavier than a bag of rice, and it will also consume your mental energy.

If you just carry a person and run in a normal human form, it will only consume his physical strength.

But when he runs with people in the form of an animal and uses special abilities, it will increase the consumption of mental power.

He could not guarantee that under such double consumption, he could successfully fly Cinderella away from the territory of this kingdom.

It was especially dark and windy at night, and there were dense forests in the distance. If he suddenly couldn't maintain his changed form and couldn't find a suitable landing point in time, he would be in trouble if Cinderella fell to his death.

Therefore, let Cinderella leave the palace as a noble first. After entering the dense forest, he can transform into a tiger, leopard and other large animals suitable for moving in the jungle, and run with Cinderella.

When the mental energy is exhausted to the limit, it will be very convenient to restore the body.

After Cinderella adjusted her mentality, Zhao Xun transformed back into a Persian cat and was held by Cinderella.

The magic mirror, which was tied into a rice dumpling, was held down by Zhao Xun and was also lying in Cinderella's arms.

Zhao Xun tried it, but the magic mirror couldn't be put into the storage compartment, so he could only use this method of covering it up.

One end of the [lively long rope] was tied to Zhao Xun's front paw, and he covered it with his body, so that nothing was wrong at all.

"Fortunately, this mirror is small." Cinderella said to Zhao Xun in a low voice as she went downstairs, "You can completely cover it this way. If it's a half-length mirror, it's inconvenient to hide it."

"Aren't you afraid that I will make a sound to alert the patrols?" Magic Mirror asked reluctantly, "There is no way you can cover my mouth!"

"You also want to leave this palace. In this matter, we have the same purpose." Zhao Xun smiled, "Once you attract the attention of the patrol, you will return to the queen's hands. This is your The desired result?”

The magic mirror immediately became silent.

Zhao Xun is right.

The magic mirror is eager to leave the palace more than anyone else.

Although it is currently tied up, leaving the palace is indeed the result it wants to achieve.

In this matter, it has no reason to stop Cinderella and Zhao Xun's actions.

It is even less likely that it will take the initiative to return itself to the queen's hands.

Probably because it was controlled by others and did not scare Zhao Xun and Cinderella, the magic mirror was not in a good mood. It snorted coldly and never spoke again along the way.

As Zhao Xun expected, Cinderella walked forward in a natural manner. The patrolmen she met would stop and politely say hello, say "Good evening, madam", and then continue to follow the patrol route.

Even the guard outside the palace gate just said to Cinderella, "Madam, go slowly, I wish you a good dream tonight" without any questioning at all.

Cinderella pretended that the carriage taking her home was a little further outside, and she quickly walked out of the sight of the guards.

Afterwards, Zhao Xun returned to his human form, carried Cinderella and ran into the forest.

His running speed is much faster than Cinderella wearing high heels.

He didn't put Cinderella down until he ran into the forest.

"You should know where the edge of this kingdom is, right?" Zhao Xun asked Cinderella.

Cinderella was patting her chest hard to calm her nervousness.

She didn't dare to show anything strange along the way, and now she finally ran out. The previously suppressed emotions suddenly came back, her heartbeat was beating fast, and even her breathing became a little faster.

Hearing Zhao Xun's question, Cinderella wanted to answer, but at this time it was difficult for her to breathe, let alone open her mouth to speak.

"You should rest for a while before speaking." Zhao Xun said while motioning for Cinderella to move forward.

Cinderella walked slowly while panting. After two minutes, she finally returned to normal breathing and heartbeat.

She immediately answered Zhao Xun's question: "I know, I walked all the way from my own kingdom to here, and our two kingdoms happen to be bordering each other."

"That's okay." Zhao Xun asked, "Then you should still remember the route, right?"

"I generally remember it." After Cinderella answered, she asked, "Do you want to send me back to my kingdom?"

Before Zhao Xun could answer, Cinderella spoke hurriedly: "I don't want to go back."

"I will not send you to the palace, let alone send you to your prince." Zhao Xun waved his hand, "I just want to send you out of the realm of this kingdom. As for you after leaving this realm, Wherever you want to go, that’s all your business.”

Judging from Cinderella's reaction, Zhao Xun could probably guess that Cinderella had a conflict and ran away from home.

As for what exactly happened, he didn't care.

He just needs to express his purpose clearly and let Cinderella understand that there is no conflict between them, so that Cinderella will not think that he is taking her home and run away halfway, causing trouble for him.

After listening to Zhao Xun's words, Cinderella was stunned for a few seconds.

Obviously she didn't expect Zhao Xun to mean this.

Then, she nodded vaguely: "That...that's okay."

At this moment, she felt that her mood was quite complicated.

He seemed a little happy that he didn't have to be taken home so soon.

She seemed a little disappointed that he had no intention of taking her home.

She couldn't figure out whether she wanted to go home or not.

Cinderella shook her head, trying to get rid of these messy emotions.

Then she said to Zhao Xun: "Although I remember the route, it is late at night and the light in the woods is not good. I am not sure I can identify the direction as accurately as during the day."

"This is simple." Zhao Xun took out a strong flashlight, opened it and handed it to Cinderella, "With this, you should be able to see the direction clearly."

Cinderella saw that the area illuminated by the strong flashlight seemed like daylight, and her eyes widened in surprise: "What is this thing? It has such a bright light."

Zhao Xun did not answer the question. He turned into a leopard and motioned for Cinderella to come up: "Let's go, we have to hurry up."

Cinderella looked surprised: "I've seen you turn into many kinds of animals. Are you a magician?"

"Come up quickly." Zhao Xun urged.

Cinderella stopped talking nonsense and climbed onto Zhao Xun's body obediently.

At this time, she still held the handle of the magic mirror in her hand. The magic mirror still looked like it was tied into a rice dumpling, and one end of the [lively long rope] was still tied to Zhao Xun's front paw.

It looked like Cinderella was holding the reins restricting Zhao Xun's actions.

After Cinderella sat down, Zhao Xun immediately ran forward.

Cinderella is responsible for showing the way.

She has a very good memory. The road has twists and turns and is in a dense forest. She can actually point out the next route with confidence every time.

Soon Zhao Xun passed the place where he first met Cinderella and continued running towards the distance.

However, Zhao Xun knew very well that this was a limited scene. No matter how far he ran, when he left this limited scene, he would return to the position where he had walked another hundred meters after meeting Cinderella.

The forest he sees now is only the forest in a limited scene, and it is different from the forest in the actual platform game [Fairy Tale Forest].

Zhao Xun just ran all the way for who knows how far. After more than an hour, he finally felt that he couldn't bear it anymore and changed back to his human form.

"How far is it?" He wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down on the ground to rest.

"There should still be half the journey." After Cinderella answered, she did not forget to comfort Zhao Xun, "I walked for three days and three nights to reach the place where I met you, and now my speed is already very fast."

Zhao Xun took out two pieces of chocolate, a bottle of mineral water and two bags of bread. While eating, he said to Cinderella: "Rest for half an hour before setting off."

"Isn't the time too short?" Cinderella advised, "Why don't we rest for one night and leave again during the day."

"No." Zhao Xun refused without hesitation. "The forest at night is not safe. There may be wild animals. We can't stay in one place for too long."

"It shouldn't be as dangerous as you said." Cinderella thought that Zhao Xun was overly worried. "You see, I walked alone in the forest for three days and three nights without encountering any wild animals. This forest is quite safe."

"That was before you met me, but not necessarily after you met me." Zhao Xun insisted.

Before players appear, there is no need to put NPCs in danger.

But after the player appears, whether the player or the NPC is in danger, the difficulty of the game can be increased.

Especially when you are sleeping, you are most vulnerable to sneak attacks.

No matter what, he would not sleep in the forest at the critical moment when the mission was about to be completed.

Even if this is just a possibility, Zhao Xun wants to avoid this possibility and avoid unnecessary complications.

He turned himself into a large beast in order to naturally avoid many troubles from wild beasts that might appear in the forest.

Cinderella didn't quite understand the meaning of Zhao Xun's last sentence, but she understood Zhao Xun's persistence.

So she didn't persuade Zhao Xun to rest more, but just asked: "But you look very tired, is half an hour's rest enough?"

"In half an hour, I will walk with you for a while in human form. When I feel that I am almost rested, I will turn into a leopard." Zhao Xun replied.

With his strength, it would not be difficult to deal with really large beasts.

As long as there aren't too many of them, and as long as Cinderella doesn't run around, everything is fine.

The key is not to sleep or stay in the same place for too long.

So even if he doesn't turn into a beast for the time being, he still has to move on.

"It's okay." This time, Cinderella agreed, "I haven't walked before, but now I have no problem walking for a while."

"When are you going to let me go?" Magic Mirror, who had been silent all this time, seemed to finally be unable to bear it anymore, "What on earth do you want to tie me up for?"

Zhao Xun continued to eat his own food, pretending that he didn't hear what the magic mirror said.

Cinderella bit her lip and seemed to have made up her mind. She said to the magic mirror: "I want you, but actually I want you to do me a favor."

Magic Mirror snorted unhappily: "How can you 'kidnap' me like this and ask for help? If you make me unhappy, I won't do anything to help you!"
