Enter the survival game

The girl has long black curly hair and a delicate appearance, which is very different from the description of Alice's straight golden hair in the story.And as the protagonist of a fairy tale, how could he stay in such a place.

"Are you Alice? How did you become the maid of the Duchess?"

When this topic was brought up, the girl's eyes flashed with pain: "My identity has been taken away. Only by hiding here can I avoid danger."

"What's going on?"

"I don't have much time, this will arouse the suspicion of the Duchess. You may meet another Alice later, but remember, don't trust her. She is a fake and will make you lose yourself!" After the maid finished speaking, she hurriedly approached the sofa in the room and pulled out a box from underneath.After opening it, there was a black bowler hat.

She handed the bowler hat to Xu Wen: "I can't leave here, please find the Mad Hatter to save me, this hat will prove my identity."

Xu Wen took it silently.The time was tight, and the maid couldn't explain too much, so she went to find clean clothes for him to change after she was done.The clothes are a gray long gown, which is exactly the same as that of the poker players.However, looseness also has its advantages. Xu Wen hid the hat in his clothes, so he couldn't see any flaws at all.

"Okay." The maid finally helped Xu Wenli get dressed, and whispered, "Please."

When Xu Wen returned to the reception room, the Duchess was still sitting in her seat.It's just that looking at it now, every move seems suspicious: "You seem to have spent some time?" She asked casually.

"Sorry ma'am." Xu Wen didn't explain too much. In fact, he and Alice didn't talk for too long, and the other party should just say it casually.

Sure enough, the Duchess didn't bother with this question: "Our country's traditional costumes are very suitable for you. Come here quickly, and I will ask the servants to make a pot of tea again."

Xu Wen sat back to his original position, his arms inadvertently covering his robe, covering the traces of the brim of his hat.

"Please."

"Thank you." Xu Wen picked up the teacup, steaming hot and red in color.But he didn't drink it, he just touched his lips pretendingly.Raising his eyes inadvertently, he suddenly noticed something shining behind the window sill, as if something was shining.But now that it was close to evening, it was unlikely to be the reflection of sunlight.

"You don't seem to be very satisfied with my tea?" The Duchess noticed the guest's absence.

"No, it's very delicious." Xu Wen lied without changing his face, "It's just that there seems to be something over there, and I'm a little curious."

The Duchess looked over and said, "There will be something over there, just ordinary curtains." Having said that, she still waved her hand and beckoned the male servant who was waiting by the side to check around the window sill.The servant took the order and went to lift the curtain, and found something, picked it up and handed it to the Duchess respectfully.

"Oh, there really is something left there." The woman Lu Fan nodded her lips.

It was a red skirt, which was put on the doll.But this doll has no limbs and no head, like a model used by a jewelry store to display necklaces.At this time, there was no light in the hands of the Duchess, and the light just now seemed to be an illusion.

Xu Wen glanced at the window sill again, the light had disappeared, and there was nothing else.The "Liang Jing Jing" he saw just now should be this thing.

"It must be my kitten being naughty again." The Duchess shook her head helplessly, she was used to such things.

"Madam, what is that?"

"This? As you can see, it's an ordinary skirt." There were countless scratches on the skirt.The Duchess sighed, "My kitten must have done it, it's too old, throw it away." Then she handed the skirt to the manservant.

Xu Wen spoke first: "Madam, instead of throwing it away, I wonder if you can give it to me."

"Oh?" The Duchess tilted her head, "What do you want it for?"

"I just think it's a bit wasteful. I think the workmanship is not bad." Although I don't know why it was flashing just now, this doll should be an important prop.What's more, he didn't forget what the guard said before entering the kingdom:

Drinking tea at the Duchess' mansion, hiding under the Dormouse's bed, singing at the Mad Hatter's workshop.

That may be a hint, and this doll with only a body may be a part of the Queen of Hearts.

"That's it. But have you thought about it? I was going to give you other rewards. If you want this, there is nothing else. This is worthless."

"Yes, thank you very much."

Xu Wen got the [Doll Remnant of Unknown Origin] as he wished, chatted with the Duchess for a while, and then prepared to leave.Before leaving, I didn't forget to ask where the Mad Hatter lived.

"That loyal wolfhound?"

"Well, maybe."

"You outsiders always seem to be interested in him." The Duchess did not doubt it, and asked the servant to draw a simple map for Xu Wen.

Xu Wen thanked and was about to leave, but was stopped by the Duchess again.

"Is there any other order?"

"Let me give you one last piece of advice." The Duchess opened her fan to cover half of her glamorous face, "Keep awake and don't trust anyone except yourself."

"..." Xu Wen didn't understand why the other party said this suddenly, but he couldn't help but think of Alice, almost thinking that the conversation had been exposed.But it's unlikely, otherwise the Duchess would not let him leave so easily, she just said: "I see."

The woman glanced out the window.The sun was setting and the sky was turning dark.However, due to the excessive smog, it seemed that it only changed from cloudy white to dark yellow, and then to dirty: "It's too late, you should go back as soon as possible. Keep your life regular, this is the rule of the kingdom."

"……Yes."

Leaving the Duke's mansion, there were not many pedestrians on the road, but there were more patrolling guards.When they saw someone still wandering outside, they would step forward and scold them, ordering them to go home.

Xu Wen didn't want to be entangled, so he hid all the way, and returned to the meeting point agreed before, and found that Chu Junyue was already waiting there, and An Heng was with him.As soon as he went up, before saying hello, he heard from Chu Junyue that he had found a temporary hotel, so he left first.
