Chapter 40 At twelve o’clock at midnight, the show ends

 Alison's footsteps penetrated the dance music and came to the director's table. The man who heard the sound just looked up at her and then continued to chew the meat in his hand.

"You seem to be very hungry." Alison sat next to him and said, looking at the man who was eating like a starving man.

"That's because you saw me eating a lot, but in fact I didn't eat anything at all." The man stopped and glanced at Alison, then picked up the wine glass and said, "Here's to the delicious food!"

Alison rolled her eyes contemptuously, and then cast her contemptuous gaze on him, "Do you know there is someone waiting for you outside?"

"Pap~"

The celebratory wine glass fell on the table.

"I don't want to either."

The man felt very guilty. He looked at the meat in his hand and said, "I just couldn't help but take a bite when I got the food back."

"Why don't you leave?" Alison looked at him and asked.

"Can't leave."

Seeing that the girl's eyes were never on the food, the man felt a little regretful. He revealed the truth, "If you eat the food here, you will be connected to this place and you will never be able to leave."

Alison nodded, so you toasted just now to keep me here?

Alison, who has long understood the dark side of people here, did not take this matter to heart. She turned to look at the sad girl on the throne, "If I tell her, will she let you go?"

"No." The man shook his head slightly, "Our spirituality has been bound to the prince and concubine. If we leave, I may become a fool or die directly."

"Just like those animals."

"Animals? You mean those dancing nobles?" Alison looked at the people on the field.

"Yes, that's right." The man looked at the guy at the ball who was dancing with the Prime Minister's belly and the blond lady in red, "But Paul didn't care. You see, he knew that the person he was dancing with was a snake.

, but before twelve o'clock, he will be immersed in this illusion, because only in this case will he have such a woman dancing with him."

As if he heard his name, the fat man hugged his dance partner and looked this way, "Hey! King Ma Gan, don't just know about eating, you must know that there is also dancing in life!"

"Thank you!" Ma Gan picked up the wine glass on the table, "We each have our own preferences."

The fat man shrugged upon hearing this and continued to dance with his partner, while Ma Gan, after saying a few words to Alison, stretched out his hand to hook up the delicacies he had not eaten. Alison did not disturb them when she saw this, she looked at the throne

The girl who was shocked by him also started to stare blankly.

The dance continued until 11:45 at night, when the nobles stopped dancing and stood under the throne. Seeing this, Alison recalled the normal size of the cabin she had seen during the day, and stood there too.

"Dang~dang~"

At twelve o'clock at midnight, as a heavy bell rang from nowhere, the chandelier overhead and the candles on the surrounding walls began to flicker, dim, until they disappeared. The hall was shrouded in a layer of dark fog, constantly

shrink until it becomes the size of a small house.

And the so-called nobles in the house also took off their faded clothes, and they turned into mice, civets, cats, and snakes. They scurried around the house, found their place in the blink of an eye, and then lay down quietly, as if falling asleep.

.

For a time, the dance and banquet were like a dream, but the only thing that remained unchanged was the girl on the throne.

The changes in front of her were over, and before Allison could speak, the girl on the throne spoke.

"Those were the illusions I created using a memory." She sat upright with a dry expression, only her eyes could move. "This is my best memory."

"Is there any point in living in an illusion?" Alison looked at the girl on the throne. She was not normal either.

"Reality is too painful, so it makes sense here." The girl said, "I live by this memory every day."

Alison nodded after hearing this, and then pointed at the two puppet-like men beside her, "I want to take them away."

"Which one?" the witch looked at Alison and asked, "They are already in a beautiful world, you should not destroy their dreams."

"I want both of them. This is not reality after all." Alison looked at the girl, "They still have their own lives and responsibilities."

"Are you sure? They have happiness here that they cannot enjoy outside." The girl frowned and said, "Compared to the short life, I think this is their paradise."

"People live not only by themselves, but also by their families." Alison lowered her head after hearing this, "You won't stop me, will you?"

"I am the protector of the forest. They all come to my cabin not because of my attraction, but because I can protect them." The girl looked at Alison, "There is a nothingness outside that wants to become a legend.

, and a deceived bear, you can’t leave this house.”

"Becoming a legend?" Alison looked at the girl on the throne with a suspicious look in her eyes, "Are you sure?"

"I can be sure, because they are right in front of my house. Every person who walks into the forest at night, if not with me, will be with them."

The girl remained motionless, and a voice came from her lips, "That nothingness is building a legend and improving one's status. It's like a gangster making a name, breaking away from a specific group to become an individual, existing alone, and becoming an individual case."

Alison looked at the girl after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, she raised her head and said, "You may not know that I have already disposed of them before coming to your house."

The girl did not speak when she heard this, but looked at Alison without saying a word for a long time. After a while, she looked at the two people beside Alison and said, "Since you are going to take others away, at least listen to their opinions."

"I was not invited by them, but their family members. It doesn't matter to me whether they are alive or dead after they leave." Avery smiled after hearing this, and then looked at the fat man next to him.

Thin, "Even if I take their hair back, I can still do the job."

"Are you entrusted by someone?" The girl looked at Alison, "You must take them away?"

"You want to stop me?" Alison smiled after hearing this.

"Of course not. I am Cinderella who fulfills everyone's wishes. Since you want to take them away, I will naturally fulfill your wish." The girl looked at Alison and said sincerely, "Kill me, you will

This wish can come true.”

Alison looked at her and nodded slightly when she heard this, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I have already lived enough. There is no point in living here all the time." The girl looked at Alison and said, "Come on, please free me."
