Chapter 42: Poor Quality Skin The wrinkled skin appeared in the bathtub,...
Grabbing the sleepy vampire on the bed, Cecia threw him behind her, trying to disrupt the other party's rhythm.
But Wilbert frowned in disgust, he turned sideways and easily dodged the unfortunate nobles who were thrown at him, without caring about their lives.
The drowsy vampire had no time to react before he was already in mid-air. He fell face first to the ground with a dull sound.
"Those are your people, don't you plan to save them?"
Cecilia ran all the way, not forgetting to make provocative remarks.
The delay was long enough. During this period, she wanted to use teleportation magic several times, but the magic took too long and was always interrupted by Wilbert.
The two of them chased each other and the noise became louder and louder, and the patrol team also noticed this place.
"The one in the air... seems to be the commander?"
By chance, the patrol leader saw a vague outline in the air and hesitated for a moment, then asked uncertainly.
"It's him! It's definitely the Commander!"
The companions beside him had fanatical emotions in their eyes and their words were full of piety and admiration.
"I look at this back view thousands of times every day. There's no way I could have mistaken it!"
With an expression of admiration on his face, he watched the figure gradually receding in ecstasy.
"The commander seems to be chasing someone... that person looks familiar..."
The captain narrowed his eyes and carefully identified the figure of the other person.
"Wait! Isn't that the intruder we are looking for?!"
Turning around suddenly, he shouted to his companion beside him, his voice trembling with excitement.
Hearing his shout, the nearby patrol members gathered instantly, and each of them rushed forward one after another as if they had taken stimulants to stop Cecilia.
With one punch, she blasted away the annoying team member next to her, and then she sped up again. But the pursuers behind her kept coming, and she felt a headache when she saw their fearless appearance.
If this continues, there will be no way to escape.
Even though she didn't want to give up any human, she could still tell the difference between losing one and keeping all.
Cecia gritted her teeth, picked up Wang Jianguo, who had been dragged on the ground and had a lot of skin worn out, and threw him directly into Wilbert's arms.
Seeing the dirty figure rushing towards him, Wilbert turned sideways and was about to avoid it again, but he heard someone's malicious remarks.
"You must have noticed, right? This is a human being—a human being that your blood race has been pursuing for hundreds of years but has yet to obtain."
Cecia gave a playful smile and reminded him "kindly".
"As you know, humans are very fragile. If he falls with this force, he will probably die on the spot."
"Are you going to let down the 'gift' I specially prepared?"
Hearing this, Wilbert hesitated for a moment, then reached out to grab Wang Jianguo -
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cecia immediately used teleportation magic to leave the encirclement of the vampires.
…
"Your Highness, you are back."
Catherine had been waiting for Cecia at the entrance of the magic circle early in the morning, and she frowned when she saw Cecia carrying two humans on her back.
"You've come back with something random again."
The old demon was very dissatisfied with her wanton behavior, but when he thought that he had forced her to the position of Demon King, he felt helpless.
Sighing, Catherine continued, "The guest your highness brought back last time seems to have some problems. He has been eating less and less recently. Do you need to go and see him?"
"Chen Ye? What happened to her?"
Cecia inquired.
This is the first human she brought back. Don’t let her kill him.
"According to the maid's report, she seems to be homesick." Catherine pushed her monocle. "After all, she is not a demon, and she is afraid of us, so it is possible that she can't adapt..."
"It just so happens that I brought her back some of her own kind."
Cecilia understood and pushed Yu Xiaoxiao and Lu Ji in front of her.
She had raised monsters before. If you raise one alone without giving it enough companionship, the pet will easily stop eating and drinking, eventually leading to death.
"Catherine, please arrange a guest room for them."
After tossing and turning for a long time, she felt a little tired, so she pushed the follow-up matters to Catherine and returned to the bedroom.
[Player "Cesia" has completed the dungeon "Super Mental Hospital, rewards are being distributed to you...]
Soaking her whole body in the warm bath, Cecia completely relaxed her mind, and opened the system interface to check the rewards after completing the copy.
[Since the player not only cracked the truth of the world, but also completely changed the plot, he achieved the achievement "Facing Fear" and was rewarded with a two-level promotion in his identity title. ]
[Balloon Launcher (lv5) Survival Guide]
[1. Every hour, you can generate a balloon. Now you can generate red, blue and yellow balloons.]
[2. The ability of the balloon will be drawn from the D-level, E-level and F-level skill libraries. The current probability of drawing is: D-level (20%), E-level (30%), F-level (50%). ]
[3. Red balloons will draw skills that are beneficial, and blue balloons will draw skills that are detrimental. The abilities of red and blue balloons will only take effect when you hold them. If the balloons are damaged or lost, the abilities will disappear.]
[4. The yellow balloon is a time-limited skill, which usually lasts from 5 minutes to 24 hours. You can make it work by squeezing it with both hands.]
[5. You cannot specify the color of the balloons you generate now. The probability of generating red, blue, and yellow balloons is 33.33% respectively.]
[6. You have three balloon fixed positions. Put the generated balloons in them to retain the current balloon's ability. You can take out the balloons and use them when needed.]
[6. The balloon can be forcibly given to others. No consent is required from others. As long as the other party holds the balloon, the ability will continue to be effective.]
[7. As a balloon distributor, you cannot enjoy the beauty of balloons alone. For every five balloons you generate, you must give one to someone else. Otherwise, all the balloons you generate will automatically explode within 24 hours.]
Upgrade twice in a row? Wait for the next copy to try out the new ability.
Cecilia unconsciously fiddled with the rose petals floating on the water and continued to check the system's broadcast.
[Because the player successfully completed the additional task, the special item "Bird's Beak Mask" will be rewarded. 】
[It is detected that the special NPC "Skin Repairer" has reached the "Best Friend" level with the player, and the special item "Poor Quality Skin" is awarded. 】
【Based on the contributions made by the players, we will give you a reward for clearing all levels: the special item "Start Over".】
[The special items currently held by players are: "Secret Axe", "Plant Heart", "Bell of the Dead", "Bird's Beak Mask", "Inferior Skin", and "Start Over". ]
A series of system prompts sounded in Cecia's mind. She buried her head under the water and began to look through the special items she had just obtained.
[Item name: Bird beak mask]
[This is a pure black, metal mask. It is said that during the Black Death in the Middle Ages, doctors wore bird-beak masks as protection.]
[Due to the rampant disease at the time, many doctors died under protective clothing. Their consciousness was retained on the mask, which could form a barrier to isolate the virus - as long as they wore it, they would be immune to most infectious diseases.]
[However, if you wear it for a long time, it may be disturbed by the residual consciousness, causing hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, and even memory confusion. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not wear it for more than half an hour at a time. ]
[Note: The bird-beak mask is only for appearance, and its protective effect applies to the whole body.]
[Item name: inferior leather bag]
[The skin repair shop has been open for hundreds of years, but the owner has never changed. Before the body dies, the owner will select a perfect skin for the body, and after death, the body will be attached to a brand new skin and return to its peak state. 】
[When choosing leather bags, there are always some alternatives that have various problems, which make the store owner unable to use them or sell them to customers. ]
[To express friendship (not to dislike inferior products taking up space), the store owner gave away all the inferior leather bags piled up in the warehouse to someone for free, hoping that the other party would use them well.]
[Note: Due to the long time, the shop owner does not remember the specific problems of the skin. Only when the player wears the skin can he find its defects. ]
[Item name: Start over]
[It has no entity, but it forcibly occupies a space in the system backpack. It cannot be removed, taken out, or given to others.]
[The specific ability of the item is unknown, and the player cannot actively use this special item, but after meeting certain conditions, it will be activated and automatically take effect. ]
After reading the information about all the special items, Cecia stretched in the bathtub, slowly stood up, and put on the dress neatly folded next to her.
This time the system interface did not turn gray. She thought about it and selected [Inferior Skin] from her backpack.
In an instant, a pile of wrinkled skins appeared in the bathtub. Judging from the texture, most of them were human skins, and some were skins of unknown creatures.
Perhaps because it had been accumulated for too long, the leather bag was covered with dust and blood. Now that it was soaked in the bathtub, the clear water quickly became turbid.
She picked one up with her fingers in disgust, and after looking at it for a long time, she couldn't tell what was wrong with it.
If it's true as stated in the introduction, she has to wear it to know the flaws... How can she wear this thing when it's so dirty?
Thinking of this, Cecilia pulled the rope beside her, and the maid waiting outside immediately came in.
“Your Highness…”
Looking at the horrible thing that suddenly appeared in the bath, the maid's voice trembled, but she didn't dare to ask more questions.
Cecia's origins are unknown, and she should have had no chance of becoming the Demon King. However, the original successor died suddenly, and then the former Demon King announced her succession without any warning.
Most demons thought there was something fishy about this matter.
In addition, before Cecia was taken back to the demon clan by the previous demon king, she had been working in the Colosseum. The people there were notoriously brutal, and they all crawled out of a pile of corpses.
Therefore, Cecia's image of a "tyrant" is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and ordinary people in the demon clan are afraid of her. Even this time of personal service was forced upon her by the maid after she lost the bet.
"Clean these things up."
After hearing the other party's order, the maid did not dare to disobey. She could only suppress her fear and walk into the bathtub.
