Chapter 76: First cry, then make a scene, then hang yourself "This smell... seems to be a corpse...
"Bad sister! I hate you!"
The girl tried every possible means, crying, making a scene, and even hanging herself, but still failed to move Cecilia, who had a heart of stone.
A certain demon king turned a deaf ear to this and stared at the TV the entire time, never moving his eyes away.
The poor girl rolled around in a tantrum for a long time, and her originally delicate pigtails were all undone. She was too tired to make a scene, and too tired to scold, so she collapsed on the sofa in frustration.
"...You can go now."
The girl's face turned pale and she waved weakly. An iron door suddenly appeared on the wall of the living room.
"Go out from here and you will reach the next room. Go far away and don't come back."
"good."
Cecia agreed readily, and under the girl's hopeful gaze, she finally left the sofa and walked straight towards the iron gate.
But she didn't open the door or even touch the doorknob.
Looking at the rusty iron door, she shook her head, walked back and sat down, staring at the TV intently again.
Now, the girl completely broke down.
"Go away! Leave my house!"
She screamed at the top of her lungs, not understanding why the other person remained indifferent even though she had given him the "exit".
"Bad guy! Disgusting guy! Get out!"
As she shouted, she threw everything she could catch at Cecilia.
On the side, Cecilia had a calm expression. She dodged the objects thrown at her with ease, stared at the girl with tears and snot on her face for a few seconds, and uttered the desperate word "OK" again.
"…I give up! I give up, okay!"
The girl changed her previous rogue attitude, and lay on Cecia's knees pitifully, begging: "Sister, dear sister, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Are you the owner of the room?"
For several hours, Cecilia rarely said a word other than "OK".
"Yes! This is my home!"
The girl quickly answered, as if she had grasped a lifeline, "I live with my parents."
"Where are your parents?"
Hearing this, the girl's eyes instantly became confused, and she murmured softly: "Father... Parents? I don't know where they went. Mom asked me to stay at home..."
It seems that there is something wrong with her parents.
Cecia thought to herself, then calmly changed the subject and continued to ask, "Do you have the keys to the other two rooms?"
"Kitchen! I have the key to the kitchen. Wait a minute, sister. I'll get it for you!"
The girl's attention was diverted and she no longer thought about her parents. She ran into the room, took out a red key and handed it to Cecilia.
"As for the other room, Mom said we can't go in there, and I don't know where the key is."
The girl lowered her head obediently and spoke softly.
Cecia did not embarrass the girl on this matter. She took the key, inserted it into the keyhole of the red door, and turned it hard.
The moment I opened the door, a pungent smell hit me in the face. The stench was very similar to the smell on the third layer of the refrigerator.
She took two steps back because of the smell, but the girl rushed into the kitchen with an innocent look on her face, searching everywhere, as if she didn't smell any strange smell at all.
"Sister, sister! I'm hungry! I want to eat!"
After walking around the kitchen, the girl didn't find anything edible. She forgot about the previous miserable situation and jumped up and down to beg Cesia.
"Okay, you can eat it."
Cecia answered very skillfully, and even considerately handed the girl an empty bowl.
Seeing this, the girl's mouth pursed, and she subconsciously wanted to use "crying" as a weapon.
Before today, the girl had never suffered such injustice.
Due to the room rules, all the players she met before obeyed her orders. She likes playing with players very much, and usually keeps telling them to do this and that until she gets tired of playing and lets them go.
Who would have thought that the rules that have continued to this day would have such a big loophole and be discovered by such an annoying person.
She had just shed a few tears when she saw Cecilia stop exploring the kitchen and turn back to the living room, aiming directly at the sofa where the two had been in a stalemate for several hours.
This turn frightened the girl so much that she held back her tears. She looked at Cecia with tears in her eyes, not daring to move.
"So obedient."
Cecilia forced a smile on her face, squatted down and patted the little girl on the head, then continued looking for clues in the kitchen.
According to Chen Ye, the kitchen is where humans store food and cook.
However, the walls of this kitchen were painted blood red, and there was nothing edible inside. Only some empty pots and pans were left, covered with a thick layer of dust. Like the refrigerator, it must have not been used for a long time.
What was even stranger was that she searched the entire kitchen but couldn't find the source of the pungent smell. The stench seemed to have seeped into the walls.
As long as the kitchen door is closed, the smell disappears instantly, as if it is blocked by something.
"Sister, I have told you everything I know. You can leave now."
Seeing her coming out of the kitchen, the girl tugged at her clothes and looked at her eagerly.
"Can."
Cecia once again gave an affirmative answer, but her actions were completely contrary to her words.
She walked around the living room, kitchen and the girl's bedroom several times, and finally sat down on the floral sofa under the girl's expectant gaze.
This place doesn't seem to be dangerous at all.
She thought to herself, then opened her system backpack and took out a brown teddy bear.
The little guy was originally in a deep sleep. After being taken out by Cecia, his abdomen was still rising and falling evenly, as if he was still immersed in a sweet dream.
"Sister, what is this?"
The girl looked at the teddy bear in her hand curiously, "Did my sister give it to me to play with?"
"yes."
Cecia answered fluently, stroking the little girl's cheek with her right hand, and had no intention of giving the teddy bear to the girl.
Five minutes passed.
The teddy bear, who was breathing steadily, suddenly paused. It slowly sat up, rubbed its sleepy eyes, and looked at Cecilia with a confused look on its face.
All of a sudden, the teddy bear seemed to remember something, and the whole bear jumped up, saying anxiously: "Xia! Xia, are you okay?"
"Listen to me! I originally thought my father was a good man, so I wanted to ask him for help, but it turned out that he was the most abominable villain! Everything was his plan..."
Its two short eyebrows were wrinkled together, and it jumped up and down to check Cecilia's body, fearing that it would find any serious wounds.
"I'm fine, don't worry, just talk slowly."
Seeing the lively teddy bear again, Cecia felt relieved. The depressed feeling that had lingered in her heart for a long time finally dissipated a little.
According to the teddy bear, when it saw the father getting out of the car, it rushed to ask for help. At first, the other party's behavior was almost as it expected, gentle and kind, and very concerned about the safety of his daughter.
But when the father learned who the "murderer" was, he relaxed and showed a look of understanding. Not only was he indifferent to his daughter's experience, he also showed a strong interest in the teddy bear.
The teddy bear was extremely anxious and his judgment was disturbed. By the time he realized something was wrong, he had no idea where his father had taken him to and he failed several times in his attempts to escape.
Finally, Boris appeared. After he talked to his father for a few words, the teddy bear was handed over to Boris. As for what happened afterwards, it could not remember anything.
The teddy bear told the whole story in one breath, and only after confirming that Cecilia was not injured did it completely relax and lay limply in the warm palm of his hand.
[Every time you arrive at a new instance, the player has the right to summon the teddy bear once, and its memory will remain before its death]
Sure enough, it did not remember its own death.
The description of the little guy is exactly the same as the introduction of the special item [Companion Doll].
Thinking of this, Cecilia's right hand gently stroked the neck of the teddy bear.
There were no scars, and the head and body were sewn together firmly, as if everything she had seen before was just a nightmare.
"Xia, what's wrong with you?"
Perhaps sensing that something was wrong with her mood, the teddy bear waved its brown paws and looked at her worriedly.
[Note: If it realizes that it is dead, it will completely disappear and cannot be used again.]
The notes about the special items flashed through her mind, and Cecilia hid the emotion in her eyes.
"It's okay." She said softly, "It just suddenly occurred to me that I went through so much trouble to rescue you, and you'll have to work for me for the rest of your life to pay me back."
"work to earn a living?"
The teddy bear tilted its head and looked at Cecia in confusion, "What kind of work can I do with this body?"
It muttered a few words quietly, but didn't take the matter to heart, as its attention was drawn to another topic.
"Xia, tell me quickly! Where is this place? How did you escape? Who are those bad guys?"
Although in an unfamiliar environment, the little guy was not afraid at all. Instead, his eyes were shining with excitement and he asked questions like a machine gun.
"I killed them all."
Cecia spoke in a calm tone with a smile on her face, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
"When I found you, you had been injected with a drug and fell into a coma. While they were not paying attention, I stole you out and successfully cleared the dungeon—"
"Now, we are in another copy."
"Another copy?"
The teddy bear's eyes widened in surprise, and his head shook from side to side, as if he had drunk fake alcohol. "You finished playing Abnormal Love?"
Cecia nodded.
"Xia, you are so amazing!"
The little guy jumped up suddenly, hugged Cecia's fingers and rubbed them, "I knew it was right to follow you!"
"But, I thought I could return to the real world after clearing the dungeon, but I ended up in another dungeon...Xia, can we never go back?"
As it spoke, its furry head drooped, looking a little lost.
[…After returning to the system backpack, its memory will be reset and no memory from the summoning period will be retained.]
In this case, it would be better to let the little one live happily during the time when he still has memories.
She made up her mind, rubbed the teddy bear's head, and coaxed: "Don't worry, as long as we pass this copy, we can go back."
"During the time you were in a coma, I contacted the administrator of the House of Truth. He said he was repairing the system and would send us back to the real world once this instance was finished."
"Really!"
Hearing this news, the teddy bear had no doubts. His face lit up and he shouted, "I can finally go home!"
On the side, the girl listened to the conversation between the man and the bear for a long time and understood the general situation.
As a dungeon creature, she could tell the difference between a player and a special item at a glance. But the teddy bear in front of her was no longer a player who could return to reality. It could only stay in the dungeon for the rest of its life, and it might disappear one day.
"fraud."
The girl muttered something softly, and then she felt a cold gaze piercing her bones. She was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth.
"Hey? Who is she?"
At this time, the teddy bear noticed the girl's presence. It turned its body awkwardly and looked at the girl curiously.
"It's just a copy NPC, don't worry about it."
Cecia replied coldly, looking at the girl with a warning look.
Under such terrible pressure, the teddy bear greeted the girl many times, but she didn't dare to respond. The little guy felt bored and stopped trying.
"Xia, what does the new copy require us to do?"
After being chased madly in the previous copy, Teddy Bear encountered such a leisurely situation for the first time, so he took the initiative to ask Cecia for information.
Cecia is very patient with her teddy bear.
She repeated the contents of the system broadcast from beginning to end, and took the little one to visit the living room, the girl's bedroom, and the kitchen.
"This smell... sounds like a corpse!"
