The Princess Diaries [Comprehensive British and American]

Damian appeared leisurely on a balance bike. He crossed his arms and glanced at Xiao Qiao who was dressed as Batman in distaste, then turned his gaze to Adele, "Tsk tsk, a pumpkin spirit can also scare you into this."

"You are the pumpkin essence!" Adele raised her short legs and kicked into the gap in the railing.

Damian stepped back unhurriedly, "I can't kick it."

"...Stand there and don't move!" Adele rolled up her sleeves angrily, planning to climb up the iron gate and go in, completely forgetting that she was an excellent magician.

"I'm not kidding, we really met a ghost!" Little Qiao quickly stopped Adele, "Just now a woman asked us if we want to go to Kane Manor next door... How can there be other people near Wayne Manor?"

Damian raised his eyebrows, "You guys must be dazzled."

"Yes," Adele said suddenly, she puffed her cheeks and looked at Damian like an angry chubby, "Is there any sugar?"

"No," Damian said confidently, "if you have the ability, feel free to make trouble."

Xiao Qiao looked at Damian with pity, thinking that you have no idea what happened to the last person who said that.

But to Xiao Qiao's surprise, Adele didn't angrily punish Damian with a terrible pumpkin head with a rose branch. She seemed to have entered the Buddhist mode in an instant, and just said "oh" lightly , then turned around and left, "Forget it, I'll go to Kane Manor to have a look."

Xiao Qiao: "..."

Damian shifted his gaze from Adele's back to Xiao Qiao's face, "What's your expression!"

"Come out!" Xiao Qiao opened his eyes wide in horror, and said in a low voice, "It's over! Adele was bewitched by that ghost just now! Let's go and save her!"

"Come on," Damian pouted, "Which ghost can bewitch her?"

"what are you guys saying?"

Seeing that Damian volunteered to open the door, but he didn't come back for a long time, Ah Fu was a little worried, so he asked Tim, who was reading a book in front of the fireplace, to check the situation.

Damian: "He said that the little troublemaker was bewitched."

Seeing Adele walking farther and farther, Xiao Qiao was so anxious that he was sweating. He quickly explained the whole story to Tim, and then went to chase Adele.

"Tsk, what a hassle," Damian opened the door, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Kane Manor?" Tim frowned and thought for a moment, "Wait, I've heard the name... There is indeed a Kane Manor near Wayne Manor in Gotham Stranger Things, which is only open on Halloween every year. It is said that everyone who enters the manor None of them came back."

"It must be nonsense," Damian said disdainfully, "Since no one has returned, where did the legend of Kane Manor come from?"

Tim: "...a barbarian."

"Obviously there are logical loopholes in the story you told," Damian started the balance car and drove out of the gate, "It's fine to deceive children with such absurd stories, Drake, you are this year, can you lose your memory? Did it take away your IQ?"

Tim: "Bah! Don't talk nonsense! I'm smart!"

Damian and Tim chased after each other, but as they walked, they suddenly realized that they couldn't see the backs of Adele and Xiao Qiao.

There was only one road in and out of Wayne Manor, and both sides of the road were open meadows, with no shelter for people to hide at all.In less than a minute, why did the two big living people disappear without a trace?

"Maybe Joe took her away, and she can open the space door by herself." Damian calmly took out his phone and called Xiao Qiao.

A reminder of "Unable to connect, not in the service area" came from the handset.

Damian and Tim: "..."

The two looked at each other.

Dark clouds gathered quietly, blocking the bright stars in the sky.

As the cold wind blows, the crows perched on the branches quack, like a sad dirge.

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became weird.

"What are you doing?" Dick poked his head out from behind Tim. "Where's Adele and Joe?"

Tim nearly screamed, and punched Dick hard in the face, only to be blocked by Dick's open palm.

As for Damian, he's fearless and just finds Dick really boring.

Dick asked aggrievedly: "Why hit me!"

Tim was still in shock, "It's you."

"Of course, otherwise what do you think?" Dick repeated the question just now, "Adele——"

"Hey hey they're gone!" Tim interrupted Dick, trembling -- he was chilled with his coat on, not frightened -- and stammered, "Damian said they bumped into Ghost!"

"I didn't say it." Damian rolled his eyes, "Drake, if you're afraid, just say it."

"I'm freezing!" Tim put his hands into Dick's pockets to keep warm. He jumped up and down twice, stomping his stiff calves vigorously, and emphasized loudly, "I'm freezing!"

The red hood dismissed it. He put on the appearance of a gangster, pulled out his gun in a smart way, and asked casually, "Where did you come from?"

Tim explained the ins and outs.

Red Hood: "...you mean Kane Manor?"

Tim nodded, "Yes."

Red Hood put away the gun quickly, turned and left, as fast as something was chasing and biting him from behind his ass.

Dick & Tim & Damian: "..."

Fortunately, Dick's hands were faster. He grabbed Red Hood's clothes and dragged him back forcefully, "Wait! Where are you going!"

"It's fine if you don't know the devil, don't tell me that you and Xiaohong haven't heard the legend of Kane Manor." Red Hood broke Dick's hand forcefully, "Release quickly, I want to go home!"

Damian frowned, "Is it that scary?"

"Yes," Red Hood said decisively, "I have actually seen that deserted manor before..."

There was faint fear on the young and handsome face under the mask, and the voice of the red hood lowered a lot, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

It was the first year Jason Todd was adopted by Bruce Wayne, he passed the test and was about to inherit the name of Robin.

On Halloween night, little Jason sneaked out of the manor, and he made an appointment with his friends to go on a parade.

Excitement and anticipation enveloped him, and it was too late when he realized that the path he had walked countless times turned out to be different from usual.

At the end of the line of sight was a gloomy manor, with mottled painted road signs indicating the only direction, and a crow with bright red eyes perched on the road sign, staring at Jason intently, flapping its wings, and let out a strange cry.

Jason: "..."

The way back was covered by a thick blue fog that surged like a sea tide. From time to time, there was a thin and miserable scream of an unknown creature in the fog. Jason didn't dare to enter rashly, so he could only bite the bullet and move forward. He was trembling. Rushed to the gate of the manor, holding the rusty railing with both hands, carefully looking inside.

The garden is overgrown with weeds and the shadows of trees are mottled. From the perspective of the main entrance, the shadow of the main house cannot be seen.

Jason planned to look at it from a different angle. He didn't want to go into the fog, and he didn't want to go into the manor either. The experience and lessons of the protagonists in countless ghost stories told him that in horror movies, if you want to live, don't die. You must stifle curiosity. Heart.

The moment he looked away, Jason clearly saw a slender figure in a white gauze drifting past behind a dead tree.

It was a very beautiful woman, with slightly frowning eyebrows and a melancholy expression, but what made Jason feel chills down the back was that the woman was empty under the skirt that swept the floor, without legs.

Jason: "...Ahhh!"

Even Jason, who was so fat and fat enough to steal the tires of the Batmobile from childhood, had never seen such a weird scene. The little boy finally couldn't help screaming, and was so frightened that he rolled his eyes and passed out. .

Jason woke up again and found himself back in Wayne Manor, sitting in front of the fireplace in the small living room reading a book, his face covered by an open storybook.

Jason jumped to his feet, looking around blankly.

"Oh, Master Jason, are you awake?" Ah Fu walked into the living room without a sound, with a thick woolen blanket in his arms, "I thought you were going to sleep through this festival."

"I...how did I get back?" Jason pinched his arm hard, grinning his teeth in pain, confirming that he was not dreaming.

"Come back?" Ah Fu felt a little strange, "When have you been out? Haven't you been reading here?"

Jason: "..."

Compared to seeing a female ghost drifting by outside the deserted manor just now, Jason's current answer from Ah Fu made Jason feel more creepy. He subconsciously shivered, and grabbed Ah Fu's arm, "Where is Bruce? I...I want to see he……"

Ah Fu didn't ask much, he pressed Jason's shoulder, and said in a gentle tone, "He's downstairs, I'll take you there."

"What happened after that?" Dick listened with gusto, and couldn't help asking, "Did Bruce say anything?"

"He didn't say anything," Red Hood pursed his lips tightly, "he just..."

Just touched my head and told me not to be afraid, he will protect me.

Red Hood swallowed the second half of the words into his heart, and settled them down properly.

"Actually, you were thinking wildly and had a dream." Damian didn't have that many romantic cells, he said very shamelessly, "and then was scared by this dream for more than ten years. Todd, I didn't expect you to be a coward— —”

Dick covered Damian's mouth from behind, forbidding him to speak further.

Red Hood rarely got angry with Damian, he said coldly: "Whatever you think, I'm going back."

"Do you have the heart to just leave Adele and Little Joe behind like this?" Dick held on to the red hood tightly, "I don't know whether Jay's experience with you is a dream or real, you haven't told me before...but You all misunderstood, Kane Manor is not that scary."

Dick said solemnly: "The Kane Manor is the manor where Marianne used to live. Since she died... after she left, the manor has disappeared. I used to play there when I was a child, and sometimes I would spend the night there. The manor is like a fairy tale. The country is particularly magical."

Damian's ability to focus was a bit off, "Marianna?"

"She's... um..." Dick's eyes fluttered, "She's Bruce's fiancée and Adele's mother."

Red Hood took a deep breath, "Dicky Bird, take a look at what you just said, do you really think it's okay?"

Dick was a little dazed, "What's wrong, what I said is the truth."

"I don't think he meant that," Tim said. "He meant 'the manor has disappeared since she died,' which is a standard description for a haunted house!"

"Really not! Forget it, just take a look and you'll find out." Dick felt that he couldn't explain clearly. He simply held the red hood with one hand and Damian with the other, while Tim's hand was still in Dick's pocket. , and was therefore taken away.

The four of them huddled together and stumbled onto the meadow. The moment they took a certain step, they felt as if they had bumped into a soft and transparent water film. Night turned into day in an instant.

Under the glare of the glare, the birds all felt sleepy for a while, and before they had time to see their surroundings clearly, they all fell to the ground and passed out.

Adele opened her eyes, and found herself lying on a big soft bed, with the screen hanging down in front of the window, fluttering gently in the wind.

She was wearing a tunic dress with layers of gauze, the color of which ranged from dark blue to light blue, forming a natural gradient effect.The outermost layer of yarn is studded with crystals the size of rice grains, which look like stars falling all over the skirt at first glance.

Adele struggled to get up, there was no way, the skirt was too heavy, like a weight was tied around her waist, she tried to take off the skirt, but the skirt seemed to grow on her body, and she couldn’t untie it at all .

When her feet landed on the carpet, Adele suddenly realized one thing - she had grown up.

Regardless of looking at the surrounding scene, she dragged her heavy skirt and ran to the mirror quickly——

The girl in the mirror looks to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slender figure, white skin like porcelain, blue and clear pupils, long and curly eyelashes, like fluttering butterfly wings, bright red lips, like roses in full bloom, The light golden long curly hair hangs down to the extremely thin waist, shaking gently.

She is breathtakingly beautiful, like the most perfect sculpture has life, no matter who sees it, they will express emotion and feel love in their hearts.

This is what Adele looked like before her memory was sealed.

where is thisHow can I be here?Why did he suddenly grow up?

Adele tried hard to recall what happened before, but she could only remember that she left Wayne Manor and walked to the place where she met the young lady who invited her, and then she didn't know anything.

There is a clear fault in the memory.

There are not many magicians who can play tricks on my brain, who is doing it secretly... Adele fell into deep thought.

"Are you awake?" A cheerful voice sounded from behind, Adele woke up suddenly, turned around quickly, and saw an elf the size of a palm sitting on a shell floating in mid-air and winking at her, "Welcome to the world of fairy tales ! I will take you to experience all kinds of beautiful love!"

Adele: "...Mom, how did you become like this?"

The little elf frowned, looking a little unhappy, "Who are you calling mother, she is still young!"

The corner of Adele's mouth twitched, "Do you think you're young if you get smaller?"

"Oh, you are too bad a child!" The elf covered his ears with his hands, "I won't listen, I won't listen, don't talk! Listen to me!"

Adele made a posture of listening attentively.

"This is the world of fairy tales," said the elf. "You are the protagonist of the story. You need to finish this story and draw a happy ending before you can leave."

Adele was confused, "I'm leaving now, I'm in a hurry to get candy, or Halloween will be over."

"No!" The elf folded her arms in front of her chest, making a big cross, "When you swipe the door card to enter this world, it is equivalent to opening the frozen time gear. You can't leave until the story is finished. Otherwise the whole world will collapse."

Adele frowned: "When will I swipe my card—"

The elf flipped his wrist, and a projection of a Queen of Hearts playing card gradually emerged above his palm.

Adele was slightly taken aback, and finally realized, "Is this Kane Manor? My mother's house?"

After chasing Adele's figure into Kane Manor, Xiao Qiao passed out inexplicably after being illuminated by a dazzling light. When he woke up again, he found that he had turned into a magic mirror.

This was told to him by a beautiful but very noisy elf who was flying around on a shell and was flying around with him. The elf said that this is a fairy tale world and he was assigned the role of the magic mirror , He must act hard and earnestly according to the setting, and he will not leave until the story reaches a happy ending.

Xiao Qiao: "..." I said there was a ghost!Damian still doesn't believe it!

The mirror is empty, like a rough house without borders, only a small wooden window floating in the air can see the outside world, but Xiao Qiao can't climb out from here, an invisible barrier stops him.

"Don't look, you can't escape," said the elf with a smile. "Actually, your task is very simple. The queen will ask you, 'Mirror mirror, tell me who is the most beautiful person in the world'." When you were asked the first time, your answer was her, and when you were asked the second time, you had to change the answer to—”

"Snow White?" Little Joe asked tentatively.

"Smart!" The elf clapped desperately, "You are the smartest I have ever seen!"

Xiao Qiao thought, that means you have met too few people.

The queen soon appeared.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiao Qiao looked out of the window, and saw the mighty and majestic figure of Queen Xian.

Xiao Qiao: "..."

He rubbed his eyes hard to make sure he read correctly.

"The queen is Magneto disguised as a woman? Why is it Magneto! Was he also swallowed by the haunted house?!"

Xiao Qiao asked incredulously, he now felt as if he had swallowed a large piece of apple forcibly, and then the apple stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down, which made him very uncomfortable, and he was about to suffocate.

"It's just a coincidence," the elf blinked, "he opened the right door at the right time."

The Magneto in front of the mirror looked confused, "Who am I, where am I? What happened?"

In order to let my daughter fall in love, I have also worked hard... So far, it is half successful, but I always feel that things will not end so easily.

You guessed it right, falling in love is not as good as fighting.
