Chapter 45 Underground Supermarket (5)
=========
As soon as Wang Linlin opened her eyes, she found herself sitting in a supermarket cart. Her whole body ached, especially her waist. She didn't know how long she had been sitting in the cart, but every time she moved, she felt pain everywhere.
Two male teammates were standing in front of her. When they saw that she had woken up, they reached out to help her get out of the car.
Wang Linlin came down in a daze and rubbed her waist. Then she heard Yi Han, the veteran player who came to help her clear the game, say, "Do you have a little backache? Don't worry, it's probably some sequelae..."
"Ah...what sequelae?" Wang Linlin was stunned and didn't understand.
"You just fainted from the shock, but the time to clear the level was too tight, so we had to look for clues on this level first. Later we found that to leave this supermarket, we needed to get the receipt for the designated items. We bought the items and paid with your points..."
"Uh, I don't have any points..." Wang Linlin said.
"Yes, so we mortgaged one of your kidneys to the system, and it was just dug out, so you feel pain in your waist..." Yi Han said.
Wang Linlin: ? ? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Her face turned pale instantly.
My waist hurts more...
"Then, can I redeem it after I get out?" she asked tremblingly.
"I don't know... but I doubt it, because right after the kidney was dug out, it was sent to the barbecue stall at the door." Yi Han said. Then she pointed to the row of windows near the cashier area, and the NPCs in the windows smiled wickedly at her.
Wang Linlin: ????? ????? ?????
"Try it after you clear the level. Maybe the system can help repair it after it's been baked... But, you have to clear the level first. It definitely won't work if you're still in the level." Yi Han said.
"Then...where is the receipt for customs clearance?" Wang Linlin's eyes were red.
"It was taken away by a ghost." Yi Han spread his hands.
Wang Linlin:………………
Aren't you an old player who came back from a high level? You promised to help me pass the level? You can't even take care of something, you idiot!!!
"Where did it go after it stole the things?" Wang Linlin gritted her teeth.
Yi Han pointed inside the supermarket.
Wang Linlin glared at him with resentment, covered her waist, and didn't want to talk to him anymore. She stumbled and turned away alone.
She finally realized that this teammate was a psychopath! Her weak image was in vain. She might as well rely on herself!
Wang Linlin returned to the supermarket angrily, and then she realized that she had no idea what the ghost who stole the receipt looked like.
But because of the resentment she held, she didn't want to go back to Yi Han for help.
At this time, the supermarket was still quiet, and it seemed that only her breathing could be heard. But I don't know if it was because I was too nervous, but I always felt that there were many eyes staring at me in the dark.
Wang Linlin rubbed her waist and limped to the yogurt area. When she turned a corner where many boxes were piled up, she saw two young female shop assistants sorting the goods.
She immediately became alert.
Wang Linlin fainted on the escalator from -2 to -1, and had not yet explored the -1 floor herself. But from her previous experience on the ground floor, it seemed that there were no clerks in this supermarket. Suddenly, two girls appeared. Although they looked like normal people, she was still very suspicious.
"Are you human or ghosts?" Wang Linlin asked in a rather bad tone. Facing a same-sex person who was of no use to her, she was in no mood to pretend to be a kind and harmless little white flower.
"Hello, sir. We are supermarket stock clerks. How can we help you?" one of the female shop assistants asked with a smile.
This question is really NPC-like.
Wang Linlin immediately asked, "Did you two bitches take my receipt?"
"Customer, what are you talking about? I don't understand." The NPC girl still smiled.
"Sir, you are too angry. Would you like some ice milk to cool you down? 10 points for one bag." said another NPC.
Both NPCs look gentle and harmless, with petite figures.
When Wang Linlin heard the word "points", her thoughts suddenly changed.
"Since you can use points to buy things here, can you accept my things and pay me with points? It's okay if you don't have to pay, just buy back my kidney that was previously mortgaged."
These two NPC shop assistants can indeed provide tasks to earn points, but at this moment Yi Han has actually helped Wang Linlin complete the clearance task, so the small tasks to earn points cannot be triggered... and they didn't understand what Wang Linlin meant by exchanging kidneys. When did we ever receive your kidneys?
"I have two teammates. I can lead them into your trap and make them fail their mission. You can cut them up and make skewers. Is that enough to buy my kidney?" Wang Linlin looked at the two NPCs in a daze and expressed her thoughts with a gloomy face.
She had only wanted to use Yi Han and Jian Lin from the beginning, and had never really considered them as teammates. Previously, they had performed well on the next level, and indeed helped her get two keys, but after she fell unconscious, look at what they did?! Now that she could pass the level as long as she found the receipt, the lives of these two people had nothing to do with her.
The two NPCs didn't expect her to say such a thing. They looked at each other and realized that this girl's character was worrying... She was probably going to get her comeuppance soon. Although they still didn't understand what she meant by kidney, they still said according to the procedure: "No, the small tasks to earn points in this level are now untriggerable."
Wang Linlin was very disappointed and her face became even gloomier.
But the two people in front of her were NPCs, so she didn't dare to act too badly. She snorted and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute, guest... you're here, are you going to leave without saying hello?"
Suddenly, the NPC's sweet voice came from behind, close to my ears.
Wang Linlin paused.
Then I felt a chill on the back of my neck and a cold body moved closer.
The long hair touched her shoulders and neck, bringing an itchy and tingling sensation.
Wang Linlin froze, but didn't dare to look back. She saw from the corner of her eye that the two NPC girls who had just looked like normal people had completely changed, one on the left and one on the right, clinging to her.
One had her hair hanging in front of her face and was laughing.
One of them was bleeding from all seven orifices, his face was pale, and he was crying softly.
Wang Linlin's hair stood on end and her legs went weak in an instant. She was quite brave when facing people, but she was really scared when facing ghosts.
But now there was no flower protector around, so she pinched herself hard to prevent herself from fainting. Then she took a deep breath, pushed the ghosts on the left and right, screamed, and ran forward without looking back.
The two NPC girls were not very strong in combat, and were suddenly pushed and almost fell to the ground. When the two of them supported each other to stand firm, the screaming figure in front of them had already run away.
"It's such a fulfilling feeling to scare a timid girl like this who can scream..." They rubbed their chests which were hurt by being hit and sighed to each other.
…
Wang Linlin bit her lower lip and ran angrily for a long time. Finally, she stopped breathlessly at the innermost part of the -1 floor, which was an area selling stationery and small toys, next to which was a wall and a toilet.
She squatted on the ground and rested for a while, but felt she had no idea how to get her receipt back.
At this moment, the sound of a door opening seemed to come from the direction of the toilet.
Wang Linlin was startled and quickly shrank her body, hiding herself under the cart where the dolls were placed.
There was a sound of slow footsteps coming from the direction of the toilet, slowly approaching her. It was the sound of high heels.
The two NPCs in the yogurt area before were not wearing high heels, and both of my teammates are men...so the voice must be another ghost.
Tears welled up in Wang Linlin's eyes, and at this moment she thought of her two male teammates.
I hate them so much. Are they just here to eat? Why don’t they come over to protect me?
There was nowhere to hide nearby, so Wang Linlin could only try to shrink her body as much as possible.
However, the owner of the high heels had already seen her.
Wang Linlin used her hands and feet to crawl from the back of the cart to the back of other shelves. She circled around three or two times, but finally failed to escape and was patted on the shoulder by a female hand.
Wang Linlin shuddered all over and didn't dare to look back.
But the man took the initiative to walk around in front of her.
She was a woman with long hair, black clothes and long pants. She looked quite decent, with no blood coming out of her orifices and no pale face.
The hand that patted her shoulder just now seemed to have human body temperature. Wang Linlin realized later that this might not be a ghost?
"Are you a player in this level? I'm a player too. I finally found you." The woman curved her eyes and smiled at her.
Wang Linlin was stunned, her mind suddenly turned into a mess...
She said she was a gamer???
What about Jian Lin before that???
No, you can't trust her based on this sentence. The people and ghosts in this level are unreliable. Wang Linlin quickly took a step back and kept a safe distance from the woman.
"You don't believe me?" The woman frowned, looking a little embarrassed.
"How do you prove it?" Wang Linlin asked doubtfully.
"I have already purchased the items and got the ticket for customs clearance." The woman said, taking out a shopping receipt from her pocket and showing it to Wang Linlin from a distance.
But seeing this, Wang Linlin was even more unconvinced. Maybe this woman was the evil spirit who stole her ticket! The main thing was that if this woman really got the clearance props, why didn't she leave alone? Why did she come back to find her? Anyway, if she was in the other's place, if she could pass the customs alone, Wang Linlin would definitely run away at the first opportunity and would never care about the life and death of others.
As if she could see her doubt, the woman said helplessly, "Because there are rules about character points. Didn't you see the instructions on the app? If a human player leaves his companions alone and causes their deaths, their character points will be deducted. But if I mistake a ghost for a player and take it out, I will also be judged as a failure to pass the level, so you have to prove that you are a real human player."
Wang Linlin didn't know how to prove it... But after being asked like this, she actually believed it a little. She reached for her phone, opened the app, and indeed saw a similar system description. She didn't notice the misleading words in the woman's words, and just thought what she said was true.
"Let's go to the exit first, but before you leave, you have to prove that you are not a ghost, then I can take you out." said the woman.
Wang Linlin couldn't find her receipt, so she had to nod, but her mind hadn't yet come to its senses, and she followed her in a daze.
Walking through many turns towards the cashier area, Wang Linlin suddenly became a little worried about the two male teammates. If they saw her leaving with someone else, it would be terrible if they came to cause trouble.
Her worries are not without reason.
As the two of them turned the last corner leading to the cashier area, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
Yi Han held an iron pot in his hand and rushed towards the long-haired woman without saying a word.
With a "bang", the woman was knocked unconscious to the ground.
"What are you doing!!!!" Wang Linlin was startled and cursed, but she didn't have time to pay attention to Yi Han. She immediately squatted on the ground and touched the receipts on the woman's body.
She didn't care whether the woman lived or died, but the receipt couldn't be lost. As long as she got it, she could still pass customs.
Unexpectedly, Yi Han didn't give her this opportunity at all.
Yi Han also took out a small receipt from his pocket and held it in front of Wang Linlin.
"This is your receipt. I just got it back for you. This woman is fake. She was sent by the system to alienate us. Do you believe it?"
"What rights do you have to say that she is fake? She also says that you are fake!" Wang Linlin now had no good tone towards Yi Han at all and was not willing to believe him anymore.
"If you don't believe me, you should at least believe your app and check your system prompts." Yi Han said.
Wang Linlin was stunned for a moment, looked at Yi Han suspiciously, and then took out her cell phone.
[The player helps you eliminate 1 NPC, +5 points at settlement. ]
Following this prompt, the woman on the ground disappeared. The system prompts would not lie, so she was obviously the eliminated NPC.
If she follows the fake teammate and leaves, she will be judged as having failed this round.
Wang Linlin was stunned for a long time, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead because of fear.
"Let's go, it's almost midnight." Yi Han didn't seem to mind her previous bad attitude towards him at all, and reached out to pull her.
Wang Linlin stared at the receipt in Yi Han's hand, but because her image had collapsed, she couldn't bring herself to act coquettishly or act cute, so she could only stand up in silence and dejectedly.
Since that woman is an NPC, Jian Lin must be the real one. Wang Linlin glanced at the gentle and obedient little brother standing behind Yi Han, and felt that she would not be wrong this time.
The three of them turned and walked out of the checkout area.
In the window outside the cashier area, three or two NPCs were busy making snacks, but when Wang Linlin looked closely, she saw that there were clearly fingers in the bowl and eyeballs pierced on the bamboo skewers.
"Hmm..." She felt nauseous and quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from vomiting.
Yi Han held a weapon in his hand, protecting her and leading her through the scary snack window. An NPC who was selling skewers held up a skewer and called out, "Little sister, would you like some kidneys?"
“Do you want to buy it? Once you’ve cleared the level, ask the system to repair it.” Yi Han said casually.
"Ugh—" Wang Linlin finally couldn't bear it anymore. She ran all the way to the escalator leading upstairs and vomited.
Yi Han and Jian Lin followed her and patted her on the back with sympathy.
"Go up this escalator and the level will be over." Yi Han said.
Wang Linlin wiped her mouth angrily, nodded, and turned to look at her two teammates.
One is a high-level player who was prompted by the system to help him pass the level, and the other is another novice teammate.
There shouldn't be any problem.
Wang Linlin took the receipt and took the two of them up the escalator.
At the same moment she stepped onto the floor, the system confirmed with her for the last time whether she would complete the level with these two players.
"Sure." Wang Linlin said.
This damn level is finally over, she thought to herself, rubbing her lower back and rolling her eyes.
