Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Cage of Fools (16)_1

“””

This one is truly heavyweight!

Fu Qian couldn’t help but stare in astonishment.

The usually sunny and lively Hani actually had this kind of berserk form?

At this moment, the young girl’s body wasn’t just eerily swelling and bending, her face was also exceptionally ferocious.

Her eyes were blood-red, her teeth menacing, and the previous cuteness and obedience had completely vanished.

...

Her upper jaw protruded high like that of a wolf’s, and she was biting down hard on the crocodile’s severed leg in her mouth.

After struggling in its death throes, the severed leg had now completely stopped moving, and was slowly dissolving into a puddle of flesh and blood.

“Hani!”

The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.

Fu Qian thought for a moment, then called out to Hani, who was still growling.

It was undoubtedly a risk, as it was uncertain how much of her awareness Hani still retained. If she were to pounce, his small frame certainly couldn’t withstand it.

Fortunately, the berserk Hani could still hear his voice. After Fu Qian called out to her, she slowly lifted her head to look over.

“There’s still a bit left.”

Instead of retreating, Fu Qian moved forward, striding to Hani’s side and smearing the last bit of cake crumbs he had in his hand onto the corner of her mouth.

The sweetness in her mouth made her subconsciously chew, and the next moment her body softened, and she sat down on the ground with a plop.

She should be alright now.

Watching her body quickly shrink back to normal size, Fu Qian nodded with satisfaction.

As it turned out, after the crocodile was dismembered, Bella who was affected as well, quickly awakened. She was now sitting on the ground in a similar posture, her face full of confusion.

On the other hand, Fu Qian himself, despite having been in several dangerous situations just now, even sacrificing himself to blow up the fish, was actually the one in the best condition.

These two sisters were not as well-behaved as they seemed on the surface.

Fu Qian found a place to sit down, observing the two in front of him.

Especially Hani, he felt that if her state just now had lasted a little longer, she probably wouldn’t have been able to recover.

I wonder if Souffle and the others know about this side of their sister.

Uh—

As he pondered, Bella in the duo came to her senses first, staring at him wide-eyed.

“What happened to Hani?”

Clearly, she knew nothing about what happened during the dream.

“She was eating cake.”

When faced with the chuunibyou girl, Fu Qian didn’t say too much.

“How do you feel? You were just standing there in a daze.”

Eating cake…

Bella looked back at the remnants on the ground, silently for a long time.

“I had a dream, where’s that monster?”

“It ran away.”

“Ran away? Where to?”

This answer obviously surprised Bella.

“Every which way, what did you dream about?”

Fu Qian gestured around, then deftly changed the subject.

“I…”

Bella was just a young girl after all, and her attention was easily diverted.

“Something was chasing me… I ran all over, but couldn’t find the Scarecrow… then I ran into the woods and met the Pinocchio Family…”

Mhm.

Fu Qian resisted the chaos inwardly without showing any emotion.

“You also dreamed about Snow White?”

“Yes.”

Bella lowered her head, as if at her age, self-identifying as Snow White was a bit embarrassing.

Fu Qian had no intent to mock, but rather felt a slight disappointment inside.

It seemed that direct contact with these strange creatures had the same effect as entering the dream; no special circumstances would arise.

However, it could be seen that after entering the dream, Bella was much clearer than Violetta, clearly remembering that she had to follow the Scarecrow.

“Hmm… Bella, you’re awake?”

As the two spoke, Hani also woke up.

She shook her head, and upon seeing Bella, a joy she couldn’t contain spread across her face.

“Are you alright?”

“I’m fine…”

Being asked this way, Bella was visibly embarrassed, especially when she saw the blood on Hani’s face and clothes.

“””

Although she didn’t know exactly what had happened, there was no doubt that Hani had been injured because of her own actions.

“Was it you who saved me just now? Thank you!”

“No… it wasn’t me.”

Being so earnestly thanked, Hani was flattered and waved her hands in denial repeatedly.

“It was Violetta! She stuffed an apple into the crocodile’s mouth and blew it up… and there were cakes as well.”

As she spoke, Hani even licked her lips, savoring the memory.

Apples… cakes… blown up?

Hani’s explanation only made Bella more confused, but the shock in her gaze when she looked at Fu Qian was unavoidable.

She could never have imagined that it was the smallest among them, Violetta, who had saved her.

The one who was in the worst condition!

Did she seem different after waking up this time?

“Shouldn’t we head back now?”

Although Bella was filled with doubts, Fu Qian had no intention of explaining too much to her and immediately suggested so.

If crocodiles could appear here, who could guarantee that there wouldn’t be a second animal?

“We should go back!”

Reminded by Fu Qian, Bella almost leaped up.

“Can you walk?”

Right after, Bella seemed to remember something and looked at Hani with a troubled expression.

“It’s alright.”

Hani pushed herself up from the ground, and Bella stepped forward to support her.

“… Could you not tell Souffle about what just happened?”

Supporting Hani on their slow walk back, Bella remained silent for a while before carefully entrusting the two with her request.

It was evident that she was still somewhat afraid of their older sister.

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell.”

Hani showed loyalty, promptly slapping her chest in promise.

“I won’t either, but you both had better think of an excuse for this.”

Fu Qian followed behind, pointing at the blood on Hani’s clothes.

This…

Bella and Hani clearly hadn’t realized this problem, and they fell into silence for a moment.

“Is it the sea like this all around?”

While the two of them couldn’t think of an excuse, Fu Qian turned his attention to something else.

“Of course, this is an island.”

To his question, Bella sounded somewhat puzzled.

Fu Qian nodded, as he had guessed.

“Have you ever gone out?”

“Why go out? We’ve always lived here, and outside is so dangerous.”

This time Hani quickly answered.

It really was a cage, even physically so.

Fu Qian shook his head inwardly, silently watching the boundless sea without asking further questions.

…

Considering Bella had run too far, it took the three quite some effort before they saw the red house again.

“Souffle isn’t here?”

However, after entering the house with trepidation and looking around, Bella was somewhat surprised to ask.

“She went out.”

Seeing the three return together, Margaret, who had always seemed timid, spoke up softly.

She went out…

“What did she go out for?”

Bella breathed a sigh of relief, signaled for Hani to quickly change clothes, and then asked.

In fact, she had just asked casually, not expecting Margaret to really know anything.

“Shh!”

Unexpectedly, Margaret put two fingers to her lips, signaling her to speak quietly.

“She was worried you couldn’t find the Scarecrow, so she went out to meet you.”

“The Scarecrow? Why would we be looking for the Scarecrow?”

Bella counter-asked reflexively, then suddenly froze, abruptly lifting her head to look at Margaret.
