Chapter 216 The Fairy Tale Ends

Xiaonan~
She is a good child, yes, a good child in the traditional sense, she studies well, is polite, and looks cute.

She is what your parents call "other people's child"!
Don't think about it too much, there is no but, there is no turning point, and there is not so much darkness hidden in her heart. She is the kind who is destined to be named a top student in elementary school, middle school, high school, and even her entire life, with a beautiful and intellectual image A person whom everyone envies or envies.

but! ! ! !Well, there are but~
It all seems to have changed that day
In her memory, it was a sunny afternoon, and she walked into the library as usual.

She would rather have cats reading something in the library than running around chattering around the yard and bullying boys her age.

This is indeed not in line with the temperament of a teenager, but she is like this.

In the afternoon, she sat where she used to sit. To be honest, this library was hardly visited by anyone. Therefore, Xiao Nan became a regular visitor here. Of course, he was also liked by the curator here. .

Continue to talk about that afternoon~ She came to the library, and opposite her usual seat, sat a very ordinary old man.

He is very ordinary, at first glance he looks like every 60-year-old man you can see anywhere on the street corner or in the vegetable market.It makes people unable to feel any vigilance.

The old man is reading a book.

Xiao Nan sat across from him very politely. In fact, according to her usual personality, she likes to watch something quietly by herself, she should change the seat, but that day, she sat there abnormally and normally.

"Little sister, do you want to read this book?" The old man said to her in such an abrupt manner, without even saying hello.

But in the same way, Xiao Nan didn't feel the slightest bit of vigilance, as if she was already familiar with the other party, and they should talk in this way when they are familiar with each other.

"What book is it?" Xiao Nan asked politely.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "A book of fairy tales~."

Xiao Nan's answer was still very polite: "Ah, I should have read it."

She didn't say she didn't want to read it at all, because it would be rude, and she did get out of the fairy tale stage a long time ago.

"This is not the fairy tale book you have read. It is a little different. I think you should like it." The old man said, pushing the book towards Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan stared at the poorly printed fairy tale book in front of her, without even a picture on the cover, and was stunned.

"Well, maybe, it's really interesting!" She thought this way, she didn't even know why she thought this way, anyway, she had such a thought in her mind.

The old man smiled: "Oh, then, let's make a deal, I'll show you this book, but...every time you read a story, you tear it off~how about it?"

trade? ?
Tear up the book? ?
What are these?

How hypocritical for a strange old man and a young girl to say the word "deal" in these circumstances!Besides, "tearing the book" is such a painful request.

But in this kind of conversation where other people would have a big problem if they listened to it, Xiao Nan didn't have the slightest doubt.

"Okay!" she agreed.

Tear up the book? ?um - whatever
She doesn't think so much now, because the curiosity in her heart is getting stronger and stronger, and a voice is urging her

"Read—"

"Read it—"

"Read it quickly!!!"

Xiao Nan opened the cover and read it.

Stories that completely subverted her understanding of previous fairy tales. Novelty, scary, but also very interesting!

She fell into it unknowingly, read with relish, didn't even notice when the old man opposite had left, and didn't notice that the world around her seemed to become blurred, and she didn't even notice the characters in those fairy tales. The image began to condense and take shape in my mind, and it began to move around.

After she finished reading the first story, she accidentally tore off the first page.

She didn't know why she did this, but the thought naturally appeared in her mind.

She didn't care too much about this completely hypocritical behavior, because she still had to read the next story.
These stories are so interesting.

She didn't notice that the torn pages began to burn out of thin air, and she didn't notice the deafening roars and miserable cries that occasionally appeared outside the library.

She couldn't notice anything, couldn't notice how long she had been reading, or even noticed whether she was reading or just sitting here blankly, like a puppet.

Until someone moved that book out of her sight!
Everyone knows the next story.
All of this was turned into nothingness under a spell that no one could understand.

The teabills and laughingbirds didn't even notice when the monster they were fighting with disappeared.

But then they all realized one thing
"Successful?"

Everyone stared blankly in the direction of the library. Over there, there seemed to be some changes in the distorted sky. A force dissipated, and the light that hadn't changed since the beginning began to become alive again. Time breaks free.Everyone looked into the distance, through the dim sunset, the blurred and huge anomalous reflection detector in the distance began to be seen clearly, and the sound of the machine's rotation entered the ears again.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

People laughed, and every sound involved their scarred bodies, sending out piercing pain.Some even couldn’t laugh at all, such as Fatty, who collapsed on the ground, his body’s skin and flesh were shriveled like a dehydrated cantaloupe, and the red hair was already lying motionless on the ground, his face full of tears and laughter. The collapsed expression, and the body is covered with bullet holes that seem to be shot by the gun in his hand.

But everyone can be sure of one thing
Myself, I survived! ! ! !

The library door was pushed open again, and a hunched and thin figure walked out from the door.

And behind him, followed by a little girl with glasses and twin ponytails.

She stared blankly at the mirror image in front of her, at the destroyed buildings a few streets away, at the thick smoke drifting in the distance, at the gradually dimming night in the sky, at this man who had changed beyond recognition. The small town. A trace of completely unspeakable emotion flashed in his eyes.

Her legs gave way and she slumped to the ground.

Finally broke down in tears.

"Emmmm—do you like cake?"
