Soothing and melodious music floated out from the open theater gate.The ecstasy-looking audience left the venue slowly, and their conversations seemed to be full of meaning.

Xu Yang rushed to the forefront of the crowd, gasping for breath, running desperately, and rows of thick plane trees flew past beside him.

Gusts of sinister wind mixed with cold and shrill roars, chasing after him, cutting off a short section of his raised hair from time to time.

One, two, three, four, five...

As Xu Yang ran forward, he silently counted the footsteps behind him.

...so messy that he couldn't count it.

There seemed to be more than a dozen legs staggered on the ground, rolling over like a steamroller, compacting the uneven dirt road.

Girls, he remembered, had plenty of clay figurines they could drive.How many are there?

"Stop—don't run! Damn it, why is he running so fast?"

The girl's exasperated shout came from the mid-air behind her: "Come on! Don't let him enter the building in front!"

Hearing this, Xu Yang lifted his spirits and looked up at the towering castle not far away. The dome of the castle reflected a cold white light under the moonlight.

close!

He gritted his teeth, quickened his pace and rushed towards the castle, while throwing all the messy things in the inventory behind——

Behind him came the sound of a large object falling to the ground.

Xu Yang turned his head and took a rough look. It seemed that a tall clay figurine accidentally stepped on the small white porcelain bottle he dropped, and lost his balance. The moment he fell, he dragged several companions down and rolled into a ball , fell a short distance.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly.

"Ah—insidious! Cunning! It really is you, Xu Yang...Damn it!" The girl screamed, furious.

Xu Yang: "..."

farewell.

He rushed into the half-covered side door of the castle in two steps, closed the door with his backhand, and locked it. He leaned his back against the door and took a few breaths. He didn't dare to stay for a long time, and walked quickly along the promenade in the castle.

The long corridor is deep, but fortunately there are many retro and elegant wall lamps on the wall, illuminating the thick and gorgeous doors.

After a while, there was a banging sound at the entrance.

Seeing that it was about to be broken open, Xu Yang hurried into one of the rooms in the middle of the corridor, and closed the door silently.

The space inside the door is much larger than it looks from the outside.

Rows of complicated and exquisite dresses are hung on the coat rack. All the clothes are complete sets. From headwear, tops, bottoms, even corsets, shoes and socks, they all have exquisite and harmonious designs, and each set has its own style.

Wait...a corset?

After running wildly for too long, Xu Yang's brain was starved of oxygen, and he was a little overwhelmed. He waited for his breathing to be adjusted before he had time to think about the environment he was in.

It appears to be one giant women's dressing room.The only exit was the door he broke in through.

Reminiscent of the large number of spectators who left the venue and walked in this direction...

His face suddenly turned blue.

With a soft creak, the door was pushed open, and a brisk footstep spun and slid in.

The sweet and moving female voice is humming an ancient and melodious tune.

Xu Yang took a few steps back, hid in a thick pile of clothes in the corner of the room, and held his breath.

The woman walked slowly towards his direction, and the singing gradually approached.

Before she reached Xu Yang's place, the door was pushed open by another person.

A dozen or so footsteps rang outside the door for a moment, then stopped neatly, but the noisy echoes lingered in the long corridor, endlessly.

The little girl who was chasing Xu Yang all the way stopped her, and asked poking around, "Sister, did you see a..."

The female voice humming interrupted her questioning sentence: "Sorry! This cute little sister, this is the women's dressing room, and only you can come in. The gentlemen outside the door, please leave here."

Hearing this voice, Xu Yang was slightly taken aback.

"Hmph, I don't want to change clothes yet, if I don't have one, then I don't..." The little girl said angrily, with a dozen heavy footsteps, blowing away like the wind.

The door closed again, blocking the echo from the corridor.

There was silence in the locker room.

Xu Yang buried himself motionless in the pile of clothes, wanting to wait for the woman to leave before coming out.

The clothes that were pressing on him were suddenly lifted by something.

A sweet and familiar female voice called his name:

"Long time no see, Xu Yang."

Xu Yang felt relieved, exhaled lightly, stood up, and looked at the woman in front of him:

"Long time no see... How are you doing recently? Ellie."

Ellie is wearing a dignified dark blue long dress, with golden curly hair hanging behind her, a crown studded with precious stones and diamonds on her head, and her lips are fiery red.

She nodded with a smile, and her gestures faded away from her original youthfulness and became much more elegant: "As you can see."

Xu Yang moved his fingertips in embarrassment: "Sorry, I didn't know this was a women's dressing room, so I ran into it in a panic."

Ellie shook her head lightly: "Tonight is the winner's dinner." She paused and continued, "If you don't want to be too noticeable, you'd better make a little change."

"The winner's dinner?" Xu Yang frowned, this was the second time he had heard this word.After a while, he realized what Ellie was saying, opened his eyes slightly, and looked around the dazzling array of dresses in the dressing room: "You mean, put on these?"

Allie nodded with a smile.

Xu Yang calmed down and thought for a moment.

By now, he had met several old acquaintances.

If he's not mistaken, it was Theseus who was trapped in the maze with Ellie before who played the role of the dead prince on the stage of the theater.The little girl who chased him down just now was the dungeon boss who had promised to take his life.

"Then, put on your dress, go to the dinner with me, and then find the right time to escape." Ellie blinked, and walked briskly to the other side of the room, "I'll wait for you over there. Believe me, this is the best choice."

"..."

Xu Yang's eyes turned around the dress in the dressing room.

Rose pink tulle skirt, bamboo blue silk satin dress, light yellow backless dress...

He rubbed his temples, couldn't help heaving a long sigh, after a thousand choices, he finally found a black dress that was tightly covered, and put it on his body.

He fiddled with the layered clothes and gloves for a long time, and then put on a headdress with black gauze, which covered more than half of his face, only showing a small section of his beautifully lined chin.

"This dress is called 'Crow Feather'."

After changing his clothes, Ellie appeared behind him, looked at him as if appreciating a work of art, and said with a smile, "It suits you very well."

Xu Yang: "..."

"She" looked at herself in the mirror, wearing a close-fitting long dress with black feathers, which made "her" figure taller. Except for the layered feathers, there were very few decorations on the clothes, and the black material covered her body. Most of the skin was exposed, only the slender and fair neck like a swan, on which there was a little raised Adam's apple.

It looks like a black divine bird with its wings restrained and dormant in the dark, or a cold and powerful underground queen.It feels dangerous, mysterious, and... irrepressibly curious.

"What's missing... that's right!" Ellie pointed her chin with her index finger, and after a while, she took out a small box from her pocket, beckoned him to come closer, wiped it on his lips, and moved away. Half a step, squinting with satisfaction:

"Okay, perfect."

Xu Yang pursed his lips, looked at the flaming lips under the black gauze, and said in a low voice:

"Fake low-key..." He might as well choose a colorful and happy dress.

At least the more naked/exposed, the less desire/desire to voyeuristic.

"No, it's perfect. It would be better if you make less noise." Ellie looked at "her" in front of her, and said happily: "The dinner party is about to begin, let's enter, my dear female companion~"
