Chapter 1487: Rest Assured, It's Very Safe

What the hell? Deport the Food God back to his country? If you send him back, wouldn't I have come here for nothing!

"No! Absolutely not!"

Before the Shaman Society President could finish his sentence, "Princess Caitlyn's" head was already shaking like a rattle.

"I trust the Lionheart Duke; they have always been our allies. The Duke would certainly not do such a thing. Is there... uh... is there some misunderstanding here?"

Still a misunderstanding? He's already laid his cards on the table! And you're still talking about a misunderstanding? Do you have to wait until he comes knocking on the door and catches you before you believe it's not a misunderstanding?

Seeing "Princess Caitlyn" actually being so naive, the Shaman Society President couldn't help but get angry:

"Your Highness! This is not a matter that can be settled with a single word of misunderstanding! You..."

"I will think about it some more, you may leave first."

"Your Highness!"

"You may leave, I have it under control."

After driving away the loyal Shaman Society President with an unusually firm tone, "Princess Caitlyn" found a quiet room and dismissed the maids, then swept away their previous calm demeanor and hurriedly gripped the pendant on their ear.

"Something's wrong!"

After the earring glowed slightly, Xue Fa Ji said with eyes full of urgency:

"White Snake! Come out quickly! The Food God has started to act; I suspect 【Bedtime Stories】 might have gone wrong!"

"What?"

"He has probably broken free from the influence of 【Bedtime Stories】 and is telling everyone he wants to kidnap me... White Snake! Let's retreat quickly! I have a vague premonition that if we don't retreat now, it might be too late!"

"Don't panic yet, let me contact the Lord!"

After hearing the abnormal situation relayed by Xue Fa Ji, White Snake, who was also startled, did not dare to delay and immediately contacted 【The Tale of Nothingness】. After hearing the situation described by the two, the pitch-black crow incarnated by 【The Tale of Nothingness】 pondered for a while, then judged with great confidence:

"Rest assured, he has not broken free from my 【Bedtime Stories】. If I am not mistaken, this should just be a probe out of helplessness. The current situation is still under my control."

"But he has already broken free from the shackles!"

Xue Fa Ji said urgently:

"We are all ordinary people now! If he really completely breaks free from the influence of 【Bedtime Stories】 and regains his own abilities, we won't even have a chance to run! I say we had better retreat..."

"Xue Fa Ji!"

Calling "Princess Caitlyn" to interrupt their discouraging words, the crow standing on their shoulder said in a calm tone:

"Truth is inviolable. Once the story I tell is established, it is absolutely impossible for there to be any changes unless I am willing. Even if the third-generation Director of the Cleaning Bureau were resurrected, it would be impossible to escape from the story I have already unfolded."

"But he..."

"Xue Fa Ji, the Food God has not yet broken free from my story."

The crow, like a person with hands behind their back, tucked its pitch-black wings behind its back, its two round, black eyes blinking without pause:

"What he is doing now, although it seems as if he has broken free from the shackles, is actually still within the scope of his 'role' and has not deviated from the story 'node' I set. He should just be probing the boundaries of my ability." "Boundaries?"

"That is the maximum range within which I control the story."

When speaking to this point, the crow, shrouded in black smoke, couldn't help but explain with a hint of admiration:

"He should have understood some of the rules of 【Bedtime Stories】 through recent events, knowing that I cannot control everything that happens, but can only control some important story nodes, so he is using this method to constantly probe my range of control.

And among the targets I have locked with Bedtime Stories, he is not the only one who has realized this, but he is the one who reacted the fastest and has the greatest courage.

When others are locked by 【Bedtime Stories】, their first reaction is always to resist the story I arranged, hoping to avoid the predetermined fate. Only the Food God is different.

After trying and finding that he could not break free from the shackles, he immediately changed his thinking, began to actively probe the boundaries of my ability, and tried to compete with me for the power to advance the story. And under his 'active' participation, the rhythm I originally set has indeed been disrupted quite a bit."

"Lord!"

Hearing 【The Tale of Nothingness's】 words, White Snake, who had been listening silently, couldn't help but ask:

"Do we need to do something? Find a way to stop his actions?"

"Better not."

(In one look)

【The Tale of Nothingness】 shook their head slightly and said:

"The Food God's original fate in 【Bedtime Stories】 was to kidnap 'Princess Caitlyn' of the Witch Kingdom, attempt to push the fake princess to the position of Great Witch King, and eventually be pushed to the gallows by the angry masses after being defeated by the real 'Princess Caitlyn.'

And now he is 'fulfilling' his fate, so if we stop his actions, it is equivalent to opposing the 'correct' story trajectory, which is not only basically impossible to succeed but will also suffer from the shackles of 【Bedtime Stories】.

After all, in the story I set, this is originally a strong node where the 'Lionheart Duke' has the upper hand. At the very least, before he kidnaps Xue Fa Ji, we cannot oppose him."

"So we just watch, let him act recklessly, and can't do anything?"

"Hmm... it's not that we can't do anything."

The crow on Xue Fa Ji's shoulder pondered for a moment, then parted its beak slightly, revealing a shallow, human-like smile.

"Since he chose to actively speed up in order to disrupt the story I set, we might as well speed up with him... Xue Fa Ji, you might as well go find him more often and actively give him the opportunity to catch you."

"Ah?!"

"Don't be afraid, he can't hurt you."

The crow on Xue Fa Ji's shoulder smiled and said with confidence:

"Although his way of responding is indeed beyond my expectations, the nodes of the entire 【Bedtime Stories】 are still under my control. No matter how much he does between two nodes, the final story will still advance according to the nodes I set.

And when you actively approach him and give him the opportunity to catch you, he, who cannot break free from the influence of 【Bedtime Stories】, will only be able to catch you, then use the black cat to replace you, and move forward to the next story node, until he meets his end of being hanged."

"Speeding up" with the Food God and letting me actively deliver myself to him to be caught?

After pondering the plan proposed by 【The Tale of Nothingness】, "Princess Caitlyn" only felt a bone-chilling coldness shoot up from behind their tailbone, along their spine, and freeze into their crown.

I may not understand stories, but I understand the Food God! Even without 【Ang Zai Avoidance】, I know that this is definitely a death sentence!
