As the new Demon Queen, ...
Chapter 115: Human Skin Its face is covered with a thin layer of human...
"This, and this... These things take up too much space here."
The plastic dummy was rummaging around in the warehouse, muttering to himself.
"There will be new customers coming tomorrow. We shouldn't let them see these old antiques. We should show the supermarket the newest look!"
Its mood inexplicably became high.
"In that case, send them all to the recycling station."
"I remember that a few days ago, someone collected a large amount of discarded goods. It was said that they would be destroyed in a centralized manner and would definitely not flow into the market. This would not damage the reputation of our supermarket..."
Jia Dabing was also woken up by the plastic mannequin's rummaging through the drawers.
Listening to the other party's words, Spicy Potato Chips was terrified and trembling all over as if he had been electrocuted.
"Xia, let's run away."
The teddy bear lowered his voice deliberately and said to Cecia, "If you leave the supermarket with this appearance, I'm afraid you will never be able to recover."
"This place is full of clutter and the lighting is dim, so it definitely can't see us. And it mentioned a new customer, so it's very likely that it's a player! Once it leaves, we'll go out and look for him!"
Before Cecia could express her thoughts, the voice of the plastic dummy suddenly came closer, as if it was standing next to the pile of goods where they were.
"oops."
"I thought I heard some noises. It turned out that there were some mice stealing food here."
The plastic mannequin's voice had an upward ending tone, and its pure white eyes were slightly narrowed, looking eerie under the dim light.
"But, I checked and all the customers have left the supermarket - so who could be here?"
It dragged out the ending sound, as if it was enjoying the process of cat catching mouse.
"Are you hiding here secretly, my future staff member?"
The sound became sharper and sharper, and kept approaching in their direction.
"Don't worry, this place is very hidden, and we are blocked by wooden boards, so it won't be able to find us."
The teddy bear spoke in a very gentle voice, suppressing Jia Dabing who was shaking like a sieve.
Just as Little Bear said, the plastic mannequin really didn't find any target and was flying around like a headless fly.
"Are you here? Or where?"
The plastic dummy was rummaging around the warehouse like crazy.
"You don't want to be a commodity, so you sneak in here? This is not a good habit..."
"Become a staff member! As long as you are willing, I will forgive you for your past mistakes. You will definitely become an outstanding staff member!"
The plastic mannequin was still chattering, as if it was concerned about Cecia. Its search became more and more urgent, as if it really wanted to recruit her.
"How does it know our whereabouts?"
Cecilia asked coldly, she always felt that there was something fishy about this matter.
"I didn't expose it, did I?"
The teddy bear was a little at a loss, "I am always very careful when I go out, so I shouldn't have been discovered."
"No, I don't mean to blame you. It's just that the plastic dummy is behaving so strangely."
Cecia frowned.
The other party was rummaging around here and there without any logic at all. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult to find them.
But her heart was always hanging in the air and she could never let it go.
Just like the time when I was deceived by Boris...
"Come out, there's no point in hiding, I will find you!"
The sound of the plastic mannequin became more and more rampant, and even the teddy bear realized that something was wrong.
"Xia, why don't we go first."
The teddy bear rubbed his paws nervously and suggested, "It's rummaging around aimlessly and it's quite far away from us. We are small in size and the light is dim, so if we are careful we won't be discovered."
"Wait a little longer."
Cecilia's heart beat faster and faster, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.
"Don't alarm me..."
"I knew you were here!"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the plastic dummy.
It had clearly been searching somewhere else just now, and there were two piles of goods between it and them, but now it had grabbed the baffle of the exit and slowly lifted it open.
"What's the point of hiding? I'll find you eventually. Just be a good employee."
The face of the plastic mannequin became even more terrifying. It was covered with a thin layer of human skin, which looked like it was peeled off from somewhere and randomly glued to the face with glue, making it look wrinkled.
"You still don't want to, do you? Then I can only pack you up and send you to the recycling station for centralized destruction."
The skin of its upper and lower lips stuck together, and it kept moving when it spoke. As Cecia looked at that face, a name flashed through her mind.
Lin Zhi! This is his face!
Boris had also used his face before, and now it seems that the bastard should give his face to a plastic dummy.
Cecilia gnashed her teeth, and her tiger skin chicken feet were swollen with anger.
She still remembered the ability the other party had mentioned at that time.
[ID Card "Biologist"]
[Precision Search (Passive): You can detect all nearby life forms and determine their good or evil attributes, as well as whether they can be brought into your camp.]
As for the plastic dummies, they should have used this ability to accurately find their location. The so-called "random search" before was just playing with the prey that was bound to be caught.
"You can't blame me for this. After all, you caused so much damage to the supermarket. I have enough reason to send you to be destroyed."
The plastic mannequin was still talking eloquently, but Cecilia and the teddy bear looked at each other and they made the decision at the same time.
"run!"
One man and one bear soldier split into two groups and rushed towards the door from two different directions.
The plastic mannequin was attracted by their attention and quickly moved its body, trying to block the door.
However, the plastic body was already moving slowly, and now it was covered with a layer of tattered human skin, which further hindered its speed.
On the other hand, after repeated practice, Cecilia's floating technique has improved greatly. Although she is wobbly in the air, her speed is not slow, and she quickly rushes to the door.
The plastic dummy did not close the door when it came in, leaving a gap. She took this opportunity to float out through the gap.
"Stop! Don't run! We can discuss anything else..."
The plastic dummy completely ignored the slower teddy bear and chased after Cecia with difficulty.
Outside the warehouse.
The power had been cut off at midnight, but now the supermarket was brightly lit as if it were day.
The scene was the same as when they first entered the supermarket.
Perhaps, a new player has arrived?
Cecia had hope and worked harder. She used her abilities to fly quickly in the air, with the plastic dummy chasing her relentlessly.
Unfortunately, her ability is very energy-consuming.
Although she was moving fast at the beginning, as her strength continued to fade, she drifted lower and lower, slower and slower, and her body was shaking violently, and she might lose her strength at any time.
Damn it.
Cecia cursed inwardly. She didn't want to die in this body. She would become the first demon king to enter the grave in the form of tiger skin and chicken claws.
"There's... nothing... no one here..."
Intermittent voices came from the front, rekindling her hope.
Hang on! New players should have arrived!
Cecia squeezed out the last bit of her strength and rushed towards the source of the sound at an extremely fast speed.
What came into view was a familiar face.
Silvery white semi-long hair, cold grey-blue eyes, and the teardrop mole that distinguishes the brothers... No matter how you look at it, this man is Wilbert!
"Vill! Catch me!"
Wilbert was standing at the front of the crowd when he suddenly heard a familiar voice. Moreover, this voice made him hate it so much that it rang in his ears every night in his nightmares.
"... Cecia?"
He asked reluctantly and looked around vigilantly, but did not see the annoying face.
Auditory hallucination?
Does he hate that guy to this extent?
Wilbert was thinking about this when he felt a pain in his leg, as if he was hit by something.
He lowered his head and saw a bag of tiger skin chicken feet, which were constantly hitting his calves.
……What's this?
He frowned and picked up the package with his fingertips.
"Vir! It's me! Cecia, the demon king of the demon clan!"
Cecia shouted at the top of her voice, but the other party looked disgusted and seemed to have no intention of helping.
But he was completely exhausted now, so even if Wilbert was unwilling to help, he had to do him this favor!
Just as she was thinking about how to coerce or bribe the other party to obey, the modern terms that Chen Ye told her suddenly flashed through her mind.
"I am the Demon King. I was framed by a villain and ended up like this. I need some money to gather troops. Please give me the money. When I regain my status as the Demon King, I will make you the Prime Minister!"
Wilbert: ...
The human next to him: ...
Who doesn't know that this is a common scam? This rhetoric has long been outdated. Can't fraudsters come up with new ways of saying it? And how can this be combined with the East and the West, with both the devil and the prime minister!
Listening to Cecia's speech, Wilbert confirmed her identity, resisted the urge to crush her directly, and put the tiger skin chicken feet into his pocket.
"Oh, a new customer is coming so soon?"
Seeing Wilbert and others, the late-coming plastic mannequin stopped, adjusted its apron, and faced the customers with its best appearance.
He looked up at the time with a polite smile on his face: "It's already midnight, I didn't pay attention to the time, welcome all customers to our convenience supermarket!"
It bent down slightly and explained to them relevant information about coins, supermarkets and purchasing items.
Those pale eyes stared straight at Wilbert's pocket.
"…Customer, can you please return the merchandise you took to me?"
