Chapter 114 Trap "Hurry up! Let's get out of here!"
"Xia! Don't be afraid, I'll be there soon!"
As the sound got closer, a very faint light appeared in Cecia's sight.
The light slowly approached her, like the hope and salvation in her life.
The teddy bear found a small flashlight from somewhere and taped it to his body to light the way.
For humans, they need to bend down to pick snacks from the box. But for the teddy bear, the box is very high, as high as a mountain.
It tried its best to climb up, but failed many times. It fell down again and again, and its whole body was sore. However, it never thought of giving up.
After trying dozens of times, the little guy finally climbed up.
"I'm coming, I'm coming! Thea, are you okay?"
The teddy bear used all his strength, clinging to the edge of the cargo frame with his limbs. His body trembled slightly from the effort, and he tried hard to flip in.
It immediately picked up the tiger-skin chicken claw and examined it from head to toe. Only after finding that there were no scars on any corner did it breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hurry up! I'll take you away from here at night when there's no one around!"
The teddy bear said this hastily, and was about to pick up the tiger-skin chicken feet.
"Leave here? Are you afraid that I will run into today's customers again?"
Cecia asked in confusion, "But this time the mission is to promote myself. If I leave here, how can I be bought by customers?"
"That was all a lie!"
The teddy bear was so anxious that he danced with joy.
"After you were taken away by the plastic mannequin during the day, I quickly followed him, but he walked too fast, and there were other customers coming in, so I had to hide."
"I didn't expect that I would overhear their conversation."
The little guy lowered his voice and approached the tiger skin chicken feet mysteriously.
"Those customers are not players at all, but creatures from other dungeons. If they buy you, you will just be eaten and become their nutrients. You will never be able to restore your original form!"
"After hearing their conversation, I became very worried about you, so I searched shelf by shelf, which delayed us..."
The teddy bear, which was originally clean, was now covered in dust and had several places torn, revealing the white cotton.
"Thanks to you, little bear."
Cecia wanted to pat the teddy bear's head, but in her current state, she couldn't do such a "difficult" action.
"It's okay! As long as you're okay!"
The teddy bear shook his head, and the little guy picked up the tiger skin chicken feet again.
"I found a warehouse in the back that was full of stuff and basically no one was going there."
"In the past two days, I only saw the plastic dummy go in, but it stayed for a very short time, just checked and left. We are very small now, so as long as we hide behind that pile of things, no one will find us."
The little guy vowed, trying to find a comfortable position as much as possible so that Cecilia would not feel uncomfortable in his arms.
"Let's hide for a while and wait for new players to come in..."
"Take me with you! Take me too!"
A male voice suddenly sounded nearby, startling the teddy bear.
"Who is it?! Who's there?"
The teddy bear turned around warily and pointed the flashlight towards the source of the sound.
I saw a bag of spicy potato chips that was shiny, covered with red chili oil, and made me salivate, struggling desperately and trying to move towards the teddy bear.
"Don't be afraid, that's Jia Dadan."
The tiger skin chicken claw in his arms trembled, and he explained, "He has become a snack too."
"It's me! It's me!"
Jia Dabing echoed repeatedly, his voice filled with pitiful tears, "Please, take me with you! I don't want to be eaten by those monsters. I will never cause you any trouble!"
"...Okay, but you might have to bear the pain."
The teddy bear couldn't bear to watch him die, so he agreed to Jia Dadan's request.
Since the little guy had a flashlight tied to his body and his arms were wrapped around Cecilia, he had no extra hands to take care of Jia Dadan, so he could only stick him to the tape next to the flashlight and drag him away.
Along the way, although his skin was rubbed and hurt, he didn't dare to say a word and just endured it.
"Xia, it looks like the plastic dummy hasn't given up on having you as a staff member."
Walking quickly to the warehouse door, Teddy Bear said to Cecilia.
"I secretly heard him during the day. He deliberately told customers to get the tiger skin chicken feet and told them to give them to him in exchange for a lot of coins."
The teddy bear's body staggered as he continued to talk about what he had seen and heard.
"Since he did this, it means that if it is purchased by customers other than players, there is no way to restore it to normal."
"Hey, I don't know when new players will come in."
The little guy sighed, and several people came to the door of the warehouse.
Perhaps because of hiding and climbing here and there in the past few days, the teddy bear has become much more agile. The little guy grunted and climbed up the pillar next to him and onto the door handle.
With just a push, the door opened.
"Xia, come in!"
The teddy bear jumped off the handle, landed lightly on the ground, and looked at the two indifferent bags of snacks.
"Oh yeah, I forgot you can't walk on your own..."
The little guy patted his head, picked up Cecia, and walked sideways through the gap in the door. He was very gentle to Cecia, and did not let anyone get bumped during the whole process.
But when it came to Jia Dadan, he was treated completely differently. The little guy was simple and rough, and directly dragged the man in.
In the warehouse, there was a lonely electric lamp hanging. The light was dim and weak, and could only barely illuminate a small area at the door.
At the edge illuminated by the light, there were layers of piled up goods. Some of the boxes were already worn out, revealing mottled wood grain; others were tightly wrapped and covered with thick dust.
The goods were piled up in a disorderly manner, and it looked like no one had sorted them out for a long time. The air was filled with a stale smell, and you could smell the smell of rotting wood.
"These goods have been piled up for a long time, and the food has expired. They are not considered commodities, there is no price tag, we can use them at will."
The teddy bear closed the door, picked up the tiger's paw again, and took Cecilia to the goods.
"I got the flashlight from here. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll find it for you."
The little guy patted the flashlight behind him, untied the tape circle by circle, put the flashlight down, turned around and started searching for something in the cargo.
And Cecilia, lying on the ground, created a balloon again.
"You have the ability to make objects float. The lighter the object, the longer you can keep it afloat. (E)"
Finally a useful ability.
With the weight of the tiger skin chicken claw, even the little bear can be easily picked up, so she should be able to hold on for quite a while.
She breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of the wrapping tangled around the balloon string.
Although she has turned into a tiger-skinned phoenix claw, her ability as a balloon dispenser is still usable. She has been generating balloons these days, but unfortunately she has no useful abilities.
Now, at least we don’t have to pupate on the ground.
Cecia tried it, and her body slowly left the ground and floated in the air, but only a few centimeters from the ground.
"Xia! How can you fly!"
Just after finding a few pieces of wood, the teddy bear turned around and saw the tiger-skin chicken feet floating in the air. It stared at Cecilia in amazement, and it took a while to realize that it was the ability of the balloon.
"It's a bit low, let me try again."
Cecilia shook her body unhappily. She swayed and gradually floated upwards, but the highest she could float was only half a meter above the ground.
“It’s already great!”
The teddy bear was very supportive. It caught Cecilia, who was a little exhausted, and said, "Now if you meet a bad guy again, you will have a way to escape!"
"But you're not very experienced yet, so don't leave the warehouse for the time being."
The little guy put Cecia on the wooden board and said caringly, "You and Jia Dadan stay here and practice floating in the warehouse. I will go out to collect intelligence for you."
"Wait until the players come, then go out."
As it spoke, it dug a hole in a pile of cargo and built a small room with wooden boards, just enough for them to hide in.
The location was very hidden and the exit was blocked with wooden boards, so no one could find them.
The next evening.
[There is less than an hour left in the shopping carnival, players please seize the time and sell yourself as much as possible! 】
The system prompt sound came from the supermarket's loudspeaker again, knocking on the hearts of the two.
"Today is the last day."
Jia Dabao was anxiously oozing out chili oil, and he worriedly said, "I'm not going to stay like this for the rest of my life, am I?"
"No, since the copy has issued this task, it cannot be a dead end."
Cecia floated in the air, practicing her height by going up and down.
"That's right! Today I encountered the plastic dummy again. It told customers to buy tiger skin chicken feet just to find you."
The teddy bear echoed, "Customers bought a lot of tiger skin chicken feet, but none of them were you. It was so funny to see it so upset."
As he said this, the little guy seemed to be gloating.
"I guess the player is coming soon and it doesn't have much time left, otherwise it wouldn't be in such a hurry."
At midnight, the supermarket fell into darkness again, but the system's prompt did not sound, and their mission was still in progress.
"See! I told you that the so-called three-day carnival was a trap!"
The teddy bear put his hands on his hips and raised his head proudly.
“Please bless me, Bodhisattva, please bless me… As long as I can be restored to my original state, I am willing to be a vegetarian for the rest of my life…”
Jia Dadan kept muttering to himself, praying to God for his fate.
"Don't worry, go to sleep, I'll go outside and take a look tomorrow."
The teddy bear soothes the other person's emotions.
"Maybe the players will come tomorrow."
…
Squeak——
Suddenly, there was the sound of a door opening late at night.
The teddy bear woke up instantly, and vigilantly covered the exit with a wooden board, not daring to breathe.
Heavy footsteps echoed through the warehouse, accompanied by the sound of plastic rubbing against each other.
"I haven't come to the warehouse to sort the goods for a long time-"
The other person drawled, his voice was sharp and piercing, and his body creaked as he moved.
It's a plastic dummy! What is it for?
Cecilia was also awakened by the noise. She looked at the teddy bear, and both she and the bear tacitly agreed not to make a sound.
The plastic dummy dragged its stiff steps towards one of the piles of goods.
"These things have been useless for a long time. They have been piled up for so long that they feel outdated..."
The plastic mannequin talked to itself.
