Chen Lin did not hide anything in response to Xu Wuye's question.
He said frankly, "Miss Xu, you've been to the Fairytale Town scenario. Haven't you heard? The two figures the Drifting Bottle asked about were characters from the fairy tale I told. No one knows the answer better than I do."
The story he had told during the story contest differed somewhat from the original. In his version, Sun Wukong was taller than Erlang Shen.
The fact that this answer was correct also indirectly proved that Baby Face had most likely been a member of the Grand Theater's audience.
Xu Wuye froze for a moment.
Then she frowned. "I really didn't notice. But if that's the case, the creature inside that Drifting Bottle must have entered the Fairy Tale Grand Theater as a spectator."
Chen Lin nodded.
"That should be the case."
"Of course, it's also possible that they're a resident of Fairytale Town, or a tourist who visited it within the past two hundred years."
He immediately added, "Still, being a spectator is the most likely possibility."
"So the Drifting Bottles that appear in that scenario all come from the Heavens and Myriad Realms?"
Xu Wuye murmured to herself.
But then she rejected the idea. "The Heavens and Myriad Realms of the Inner World don't have beings that powerful. Even creatures in a gold-grade scenario might not be capable of anything so bizarre. Some of the things inside those Drifting Bottles are utterly beyond imagination. Some are even as wondrous as a Creator."
"Could they be from the Outer World?"
Chen Lin voiced his thoughts.
"That's hard to say. But according to the information I've obtained, no beings from the Outer World seem to have ever appeared in the Nightmare Realm, so that possibility isn't very likely either."
