seven nights

Here, let me show you its infinite power..."

Hearing this, Madam happily led her way to the room where the magic mirror was placed.

"Ma'am, wait here for a while, I'll be right back."

Without waiting for the woman to reply, Alice quickly climbed up and jumped into the magic mirror.

The dark blue space-time tunnel was grotesque, and various scenes flew away before her eyes. Alice felt that she had sunk into the bottom of the sea and was involved in the vortex.

...where am I now?

Alice fluttered in the space-time tunnel for a long time. When she opened her eyes, there was a sea of ​​flames in front of her eyes.

Is it a glorious day?She thought about it, and immediately dismissed the idea.

In front of him was a forest engulfed by flames, and not far away, he could see a castle illuminated by flames.

Before he had time to think about it, he turned his head to avoid the collapsed trees that passed by, and the fire made a crackling sound, and the burning smell filled the whole nasal cavity, making people feel uncomfortable.The ground was covered with scorched wood, blocking Alice's way.

The door of the castle was open, and Alice saw that the luxurious chandeliers inside were all smashed to pieces on the ground, and the fire was even more intense than the forest.

"Mad Hatter!" She looked around for the Mad Hatter, but was almost hit by a broken beam.

A weak cry came from the corner, and the voice was exceptionally familiar: "Alice!"

Alice ran over and found that it was the Mad Hatter.There were several holes in his clothes, and his face was covered with dust. He stroked Alice's cheek inch by inch with bloody fingers, stood up against the corner of the wall, pointed to a mirror next to her, and looked at Alice. Si said, "Alice, get out of here."

"No!" Alice grabbed the hem of his clothes, "Mad Hatter, what's the matter?"

"That woman is angry, you go away!"

The Mad Hatter pushes Alice into the magic mirror and pushes her away from him. The blood from the wound on his body stains Alice's clothes.

Before Alice fell, she saw the Mad Hatter lift up a wooden board next to it and smashed the magic mirror severely.

>>>

Madam watched Alice fall out of the magic mirror in a daze. Her clothes had been burned and her face was covered with blood. She was frightened and at a loss.

"Come on! Come on! Take her to the hospital!"

Chapter Five-The Fifth Nig

ht

When I woke up again, it was already night, and when I opened my eyes, the smell of disinfectant was full. It was dark outside, and my mother propped her forehead with one hand, and fell asleep beside the hospital bed.

Alice's tears rolled down without warning, and she couldn't even tell her mother what she had been through.Maybe, mother will let her see a psychiatrist.

This is not a dream, the Mad Hatter and everyone in the Underworld are real.

She closed her eyes, looking forward to the dream tonight.

>>>

"My name is Tyrant Hightop, and I live in the Underground Kingdom."

This is where?In front of my eyes was a hazy mess, without any real scene, only the voice of the Mad Hatter could be vaguely heard.

"Why is a raven like a writing desk?"

"This is a question that has troubled me for a long time."

"The answer to this question, she once told me."

"But she forgot, even me."

Is it the inner world of the Mad Hatter...?

"My Alice, maybe I will die." His voice was tinged with sadness and sadness, "But I don't want to end here yet."

His voice sounded ethereal as if it came from the sky, "The reality is so cruel, I want to see you so much."

"I wanted to be a great hatter, and I succeeded. I lived up to my father's expectations of me, but the truth is, at some point—perhaps at the very beginning—I went crazy, There were more and more conflicts with my father. I even thought that no one in the world cared about me.”

"Until I met you, my Alice."

"You said to me, 'Because I like you'."

He said, "Maybe you really have magic powers, Alice. But look, this is not the time to talk about it. You have to wake up and do something."

"At twelve o'clock in the evening, go and spin the magic ball on the stone plate."

"But you don't have to look for it."

"My Alice, I believe you can save the underground kingdom."

Alice sat up from the bed in shock, her heart trembling violently.It was seven-thirty before she had taken a nap because she had to go to a Duke's banquet.

The Duke invited many people to his banquet—in fact, an exhibition.Heard he got a very rare jewel.

"Come on, Alice, we're going to be late!" her mother called to her from outside the door.

>>>

"Gentlemen and ladies! I'm glad you're here, but..." The Duke continued what he thought was a necessary speech on stage for nearly half an hour before stopping.

"I'll be exhibiting this marvelous treasure at midnight!"

Alice was pretty sure that this so-called treasure was the Macross—that lump of scrap metal.

"Alice, what are you thinking?" Her old friend John walked up to her with a glass of champagne and clinked glasses with her goblet full of red wine.

Alice took a sip of red wine, smiled and shook her head, "No, I just..."

"You're thinking about that 'treasure'?" he asked.

Alice shrank her shoulders, and whispered in his ear: "When it is on display, can you pull the switch for me?" To get to the bottom of it.)

"Although I don't know what you are going to do, but I am extremely happy.——You want to steal it?"

"No, just move it once."

>>>

When the Duke's servant brought up the magic ball, everyone in the audience held their breath.This treasure is inlaid in a stone plate, emitting faint blue fluorescence, it seems to be a gem.

In an instant, all the lights were extinguished, the wind poured into the hall, the curtains fluttered, and all the candles were extinguished.

Alice sneaked forward with her skirt in hand, and twirled the magic ball of time and space with her hands.

The world was spinning before her eyes, Alice took a few steps back, and fell heavily to the ground.

Chapter Six-The Sixth Night

The sea of ​​flames covered the entire sky, and the trees were burning with claws and claws.Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the sky, like a sharp dagger, splitting the fire.

A ray of sky broke suddenly, and the long-lost sunshine faintly cast on the dry and cracked land from that ray of clear sky.The gaps between the soil slowly closed, and flowers and plants re-grew.The rain fell from the sky, extinguishing the anger that made the people miserable.

The Time Tailor's pocket watch burst from the middle, which was probably the best punishment for her.

Alice wanted to reach out to hug the capricious and irascible beautiful tailor, to make a good apology, but her hand passed between her face.

Looking at her translucent hand, Alice thought about it.

The White Queen's castle was restored to life, the traces of the disaster disappeared everywhere, and even the wounds on her body gradually healed.

Alice's body seemed to be nailed in place and she couldn't move, so she could only stretch her neck and gaze into the distance for a long time.

Can't she see the Mad Hatter?

>>>

The figure of the Mad Hatter finally appeared on the distant horizon, and the sky and the earth were dyed golden by the sun, just like his hair.The Mad Hatter waved his hat, its ribbons fluttering in the wind.

"I'm back." He stopped in front of Alice and bowed deeply in the direction of the White Queen.But he seemed to be unable to see Alice.

Alice wanted to fix his hair, but her translucent hands ran through his hair again and again.

"Welcome back," she said.

The Mad Hatter lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Hmm...do you know how to get to the world 'over there'?"

The White Queen smiled slightly, bent her arms in an elegant arc, and carefully rummaged through the magic book brought to her by the hound.

"it's here……!"

There were dull pains in her legs. Alice woke up and found herself collapsed in the banquet hall, and everyone around her was also unconscious. A policeman in police uniform squatted beside her with a notebook.

"Miss, do you know the situation at that time?... Well, about why you fainted."

Alice was stunned for a while, and then answered him word by word.

"No, I don't know."

"I don't know at all, it's just that my eyes suddenly fell into darkness, and my consciousness is very vague."

"At first I thought it was just bad health, but then I passed out."

"I don't know anything, officer."

"I think you probably wouldn't embarrass a woman who is not feeling well."

Lying made her flustered, she explained a few words in a panic, and the police officer let her go.

She seems to have forgotten something.

Chapter Seven-The Seventh

Night&Tomorrow

"Well, miss, we must arrest you."

A police officer came to Alice's home and demanded that she be handcuffed.

"Your accomplice has confessed everything."

Alice shrugged and explained while shaking her head: "No, officer, I have no accomplices, and I don't want to steal it! Although I touched it, I don't want to steal it!"

With a helpless expression on the police officer's face, he gestured to her, "Okay, okay. Since you didn't steal it, then
