Chapter 92 - Extra – Bloody Fairy Tale (2) (2/2)

【No, you are currently in an unconscious state. You just have not awakened yet.]

The system said: 【As I have said before, everything in this world is twisted. This includes time and space. Everything is chaotic and disorderly and strange things can happen any time.]

【Based on my analysis, your time wasn’t disrupted, but your consciousness was transferred to another place, which is this place.]

Then you should hurry and teleport me back. Cheng Zhi Chu continued to shed cold sweat. He was worried about the mermen doing something to his body…..

【I don’t think it’s necessary to teleport now. I believe you have activated the second story, so it’ll be better to explore it a little.] The system said, 【You should at least confirm how many projections there are before you go back, or you would have come here pointlessly.]

Then I’ll try…….

Cheng Zhi Chu mulled over it for a moment and then agreed with the systems words. In fact, it was mainly because he received too much of an impact from the shock of having to lay mermaid eggs. Not yet recovering from it, he really had no desire to face those horrible brothers………

But where is this place?

He assessed the surroundings. Everything here was bright and sparkly, and filled with diamond-like crystals. The room was very spacious, but it was also very lifeless. It was so quiet, he could even hear himself breathing.

Because he had the system accompanying him, Cheng Zhi Chu wasn’t afraid. He began to walk around and speculate where this place could be.

He suspected that this was probably a location from “Snow White” and that this was the mine where the seven dwarves worked at. Perhaps he had become a dwarf.

But there are seven dwarves in the story and there was no one around him. Could the story have changed and now only he is left to take care of Snow White?

Cheng Zhi Chu guessed wildly when he suddenly heard a faint voice. He carefully walked over and saw that there was a small gap between a crystal in front of him. It was covered in transparent glass and the other side of the glass was an entirely different setting.

“Splat——”

A large amount of blood spattered across the glass. It came from the other side and didn’t land on the crystals. What was even more strange was that the glass appeared to absorb the fresh blood and it once again became clean again.

Cheng Zhi Chu didn’t know what was going on. After hiding behind the crystal, he timidly looked out through the glass only to see that the other side of the class was a magnificent palace. Scattered across the palace floors were many dried up corpses. Their dried faces had no hint of blood in them and they were practically bones wrapped in a layer of skin. They appeared to have died because all the blood inside them had been drained out.

“Magic mirror, magic mirror……..”

Amongst the corpses, a beautiful young woman crawled over to the glass on her hands and knees. Her body was covered in blood stains and she had a despaired look on her face. She cried while reaching out to the glass.

“Magic mirror, please save us. Save our country. Kill ‘Snow White’———–Ahhhh——–”

A pale hand with long slender fingers grabbed the woman’s hair and lifted her up. It then fiercely grabbed her by the neck.

Then a gorgeous young man wearing a black knight’s outfit appeared before the glass. His hair was as dark as midnight and his skin was white as snow. His lips were bright red, as if it was stained with fresh blood. He looked extremely enchanting.

He held the woman’s neck and his blood red eyes swept over her fearful face. He lifted his lips slightly to reveal a pair of sinister fangs. He gently chuckled.

“Mother, is this the magic mirror that you treasured so much? But it looks like its nothing special apart from its appearance. If the magic mirror has special powers, why didn’t it listen to your command and come out to save you and your country?”

“You bastard…..Don’t you dare call me ‘mother’!”

Because she had difficulty with breathing, the woman’s expression twisted. She desperately clawed at the man’s wrist and wanted to break free, but she was no match for the man’s strength. Her eyes gradually became bleary.

She used the last of her strength to curse at the man with a resentful look in her eyes.

“I curse you ‘Snow White’. Death to you……Death to you!”

“What are you talking about, mother?”

After the woman’s breathing stopped, the young man threw her body onto the ground. He took out a handkerchief and meticulously cleaned his hand including his fingers. His face had a smile, but his eyes were cold and dark.

“You clearly already knew that I have already died.”

“It was even you who personally instructed the hunter to kill me and dig out my heart.”

“Just because this magic mirror said that I would one day destroy this country.”

“……..But, now that I think about it. It’s wasn’t wrong. That prediction was indeed true.”

His hands loosened slightly, and the snow-white handkerchief gently fell to the ground. In an instant, it was stained with blood.

“An, Kai, come in.”

The young man lazily supported the side of his face as he sat on the throne. He watched the palace door open and two identical dark knights walked in. They bowed respectfully to him and said: “Your Excellency, please give us your commands.”

“Go and send my mother off on her final journey.” The young man hooked up the corner of his lips. He said casually, “Take her to “Eternal Sleep City” and let them turn her into a blood sacrifice. Release her in the arena and let the slaves have some fun with her.”

The pair of knights heard his instructions and their expressions didn’t change. They maintained their cold and frosty look, bowed and moved to take away the woman’s body.

“No, wait a minute.”

At this moment, the young man raised his hand slightly, gesturing for them to stop. His eyes then moved to Cheng Zhi Chu’s direction. Separated by a layer of glass, their eyes just happened to meet, shocking Cheng Zhi Chu.

The young man slowly walked down the steps and the pair of knights also followed him over to the glass. He smiled and instructed: “This magic mirror is mother’s favourite treasure. Now that she is dead, this magic mirror should also accompany her…….”

His fingers gently slid over the surface of the glass. At a certain moment, his eyes suddenly darkened. He coldly spoke up: “Break it. The fallen pieces are to be sewn into mother’s body so that it will always accompany her.”

“We obey your command.”

The two dark knights pulled out their swords and pointed the tip of it at the glass. Seeing this, how could Cheng Zhi Chu not realise that he is currently inside the mirror and that his current identity is the spirit inhabiting the mirror? His expression instantly changed. He said to the system: Hurry and transfer me away!!

【Okay!]

“Thud!”

The sword smashed against the mirror and the mirror instantly shattered. Cheng Zhi Chu at this moment was being transferred by the system. As a mirror spirit, he was naturally closely connected to the magic mirror. When the mirror broke, even he was affected. His body shook and he was uncontrollably sucked through the ruptured gap in the mirror. His entire body fell out from the mirror and he slammed straight into one of the knights.

The dark knight holding onto the sword suddenly saw a figure appear from the mirror. His cold expression didn’t change, and he lifted the sword up to cut the figure but, before the tip of the blade was able to touch that person, it disappeared along with a bright flash. Without a sword blocking him, that person fell directly into his arms.

Even after experiencing many wars, the knight had never experienced something like this. He widened his eyes slightly and revealed a look of surprise. The other person’s body was both soft and light and he also felt very fragile. It was as if he could easily be broken with just one hand.

At this moment, he unconsciously moved his arm and tightened his grip around the person in his arms. The next moment he reacted and realised how ridiculous this action of his was. He quickly pushed the other person away from his arms and the other person fell back onto the ground.

Cheng Zhi Chu fell to the ground and his mind was still in confusion. He didn’t understand why the transfer would suddenly fail. He then heard the system speak tremblingly: 【Oh no. Earlier the space distorted and I transferred away the wrong thing. I accidentally transferred away the sword…….]

【But don’t worry, I won’t let you die. Even if you are cut apart by Snow White, I have a way to keep you from dying!]

Stop talking! He would rather just die then and there!!

Cheng Zhi Chu huddled into a small ball on the ground. Suddenly, a pair of slender legs appeared before his eyes. His chin was then gently lifted up and a beautiful young man’s face was reflected in his eyes.

“Oh? Are you the spirit living in the mirror?”

Although the young man was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes. The look in his blood-red eyes was extremely blood-chilling.

“So you’re the one who prophesied that I would destroy this country and instruct my mother to———-”

His words suddenly stopped. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The mirror spirit had suddenly grabbed him by the back of his neck and kissed him on the lips.
