Chapter 142 Crow? Monster! "We seem to be lost."...
"I?"
The other party sneered, and his slippery body moved again, gradually withdrawing from Cecia, "You didn't really invite me, you just needed my eyes."
“It’s very important to me.”
Cecia admitted frankly, without any shame or annoyance at being exposed, "If you come with us, I will try my best to help you get what you want, anything."
"Ha, what can I do? I don't need anything."
It returned to the branch, and a voice came from above, "You obviously have the most useful thing, why don't you use it? It is the creature you trust the most, isn't it?"
"Are you afraid it will get hurt? Are you willing to let it stay like this for the rest of its life?"
Is it talking about teddy bears?
As an NPC, how does it know about the existence of the teddy bear?
Cecia was startled and tried to open the team-forming page of the system, but it showed that there was no one available to form a team nearby. In other words, the other party was neither an NPC nor a player...
This situation only happened to the black cat guide encountered in the previous copy.
Could it be that it is also the system administrator?
"This is the first time I help you. In this instance, I will help you three times."
The cold voice became blurred, and the distance between the two sides seemed to be getting farther and farther. "There are only two times left. I will appear at the right time..."
"etc!"
Seeing this, she quickly spoke up to stop him, "Wait a minute, I have another question to ask!"
Sadly, she didn't get a response.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, without any disturbance, and the other party had already left. "What happened?"
He felt the touch of Wilbert's fingertips on his palm. He didn't know what was happening, but he could feel Cecilia's body trembling with the ups and downs of her emotions.
"fine."
Cecilia held his hand back and took several deep breaths.
Since the other party's identity is unusual, it is even less likely that he will change his mind easily. Moreover, it has already pointed out a clear path.
In this situation, the teddy bear is the most convenient special item. Once activated, it is equivalent to having eyes that will never betray you.
Previously, she was worried that the environment was unstable and the teddy bear would be harmed... But if she died in the copy, no one would be able to take the teddy bear out.
Having made up her mind, she opened her system backpack and chose to use the special item [Companion Doll].
A brown teddy bear appeared in her hands. Feeling the familiar touch of its fur and the rise and fall of the bear's belly's breathing, Cecilia felt a warmth spreading through her heart.
Five minutes passed.
The sleeping little guy seemed to move, its body moved as if it was sitting up.
"Thea?"
A confused voice sounded, and she could almost imagine the little bear rubbing his eyes and looking around in confusion.
"Xia, are you okay? Listen to me, my father is a bad man! He knocked me out and took me away, and then I knew his true face..."
Hearing the little bear's anxious narration, Cecia was a little confused.
Father? What is it saying—
She remembered that what the teddy bear was talking about happened in the "Abnormal Love" copy. The same thing happened when she summoned the little bear in the previous copy.
[Every time a player reaches a new instance, he or she has the right to summon the teddy bear once, and its memory will remain at the time before its death... After returning to the system backpack, its memory will be reset, and no memory of the summoning period will be retained.]
The introduction about the [companion doll] emerged in her mind.
Yes, this is a new copy. The little bear’s memory has been reset. She doesn’t remember what happened in the previous copy. She still stays at the time when she was captured by her father and she was in danger...
Cecilia gently stroked the teddy bear's head and repeated the same words she used in the previous copy.
"So, you've cleared Abnormal Love, and we're in another instance?"
After listening to Cecia's description, the teddy bear was extremely excited, "Great, I knew you could do it, Cecia!"
The little guy jumped and danced with joy, and only noticed Wilbert's presence when he was tired.
"Hiss, why is he here? And why do you two look... so close?"
The teddy bear tilted its head and looked at the two people's clasped hands in confusion.
"It's a long story."
She always had amazing patience when facing the teddy bear. She spent a full half an hour explaining the current copy to the little bear.
"What! Xia, you can't see!!"
The teddy bear came closer nervously and looked her up and down. "It looks good. That god is such a bad guy!"
"Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let you fall!"
The little guy patted his chest and climbed onto Cecia's shoulder skillfully. "Okay, now I will be your eyes. Let's leave the botanical garden!"
An hour later.
"Are we almost there?"
Cecia asked.
"Uh-huh……"
The teddy bear seemed distressed. It scratched its head and shook its body from side to side. "We seem to be lost."
"You can't blame me for this! The plants around here all look exactly the same, and the tall plants block our view. Xia, you're walking too slowly, so I can't explore the route one by one... I don't know where to go now."
The botanical garden is indeed very large, and it is the little bear’s first time here, so it is normal that he doesn’t know the way.
"It's fine."
She whispered soothingly, "Where are we now? Can you give us a brief description of the surroundings?"
"We just passed a lake, and there was a strange-looking building in front of us... Hey, it looks like something flew out of the building."
The teddy bear described the situation truthfully and asked cautiously, "Xia, should we hide for a while? That guy looks dark and he seems difficult to deal with."
Lakes, buildings, black flying creatures...
She had a bad feeling.
This sounds like it's near the Crow Dormitory. Have they returned to the same place?
The next second, the unpleasant cry of a crow suddenly rang out.
"Wow! Why are you back again!"
It still spoke harshly, with a tone of contempt, "Didn't you go to ask someone overnight? How is it? Did you get anything?"
"Are you scared? You think it's too dangerous outside, so you hide in the botanical garden..."
The crow's voice suddenly stopped.
Its throat was once again precisely grasped by Cecia, and only its wings could flap a few times.
"I guess you don't learn your lesson?"
She said coldly, "It just so happens that we are in need of a guide, so you are the one."
After saying that, she moved her hand to the side and grabbed the crow's wings, keeping it in a state where it could "speak but could not escape."
"…It's my bad luck that I run into you as soon as I go out!"
The crow cursed, but his body was unable to resist, so he could only resign himself to leading them.
"I told you, we all planned to leave, but we just didn't find the right direction."
Cecia yawned and joked with the crow, "You rushed up without knowing why, you deserve it!"
“…”
The crow was unable to refute and was speechless for a moment.
Fortunately, the crow really knows the way.
Its job is to hover over the botanical garden, one is to supervise the work of others, the other is to check if there are any abnormal situations. Therefore, it knows the roads in the botanical garden by heart.
Considering that it was too difficult for them to walk, it even found the nearest path, and it seemed that it really wanted them to leave.
"Once you leave the botanical garden, don't come back."
The crow's wings were pinched, but it was still busy talking, "If, I mean if, you meet the director somewhere else, don't say that I took you out..."
"Don't be fooled by the director's charitable appearance. He is actually very cruel behind the scenes. If this matter were known, I would have my hair plucked out completely!"
The crow had a sad face and stroked its feathers lovingly.
It had been caught mercilessly by Cecia several times, and a lot of its hair had already fallen out. If it was caught by the director again, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to keep even a single hair.
"Okay, I promise you."
Cecilia replied perfunctorily, all her energy focused on walking.
How to land, how to keep on going in the right direction, how to avoid obstacles described by others...
Before this, she never knew that walking could be so difficult.
They walked for four hours without sleeping and finally left the botanical garden before dawn.
"Okay, I can only take you here."
The crow dutifully led them to the boundary of the botanical garden. If they took one more step outside, they would be out of the jurisdiction of the botanical garden.
"The sun is about to come out. I should go back to work. Please let me go!"
After confirming with the teddy bear, Cecia loosened her grip and let go of the crow's wings.
After gaining freedom, the other party flapped its wings without hesitation and flew towards the center of the botanical garden.
"...Xia, Xia, you are so brave."
After the crow flew away, the teddy bear dared to speak, his voice trembling a little, "You know, what you just caught was not a crow at all, but a monster!"
"monster?"
"Yes! It has three blood-red eyes on its forehead! Its beak is full of shark-like teeth, and when it speaks, its mouth opens as big as a human head! How can there be a crow like this!!"
The teddy bear imagined the crow's appearance in its mind. Ever since Cecia caught it, it didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that the monster would swallow them whole.
Is this a monster? Don’t all Warcraft look like this?
When she heard what the little bear said, she didn't feel how scary it was, she even felt a little more intimate.
In her opinion, this "crow" looked much more normal than the cats and dogs she had encountered before!
