Chapter 54: Pretending to be obedient and well-behaved, but in the dark corner...
"It seems you really don't remember..."
Wilbert murmured softly, he took a step forward, held Cecilia's hand, his gray-blue eyes flickered, and kept getting closer to Cecilia.
hiss--
The cold touch spread from the back of her hand to her whole body. Cecilia took a deep breath, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
She frowned, pulled her hand out suddenly, and wiped it on her dress repeatedly several times.
What's this? Did you take the wrong medicine?
Cecilia looked Wilbert up and down, and always felt an indescribable sense of disharmony.
Ever since finding Wilbert, his eyes have been on her. If you don't know, you would think they have a very good relationship.
"Why, the copy forces you to take the gentle route?"
She suspected that the other party, like Blake, was also controlled by the system.
Upon hearing this, Wilbert's expression froze, and then his eyes dimmed and he retracted his overly explicit gaze.
"I just entered the dungeon and haven't had time to understand the situation yet." He said softly, "Do you know anything?"
Even though the other person returned to his expressionless state, Cecilia still felt awkward. There was a sickening sticky feeling in that cold voice, which made her subconsciously want to stay away.
"How did you get in this time?"
Cecilia asked, taking two steps back calmly.
"this time?"
He repeated it, chewing on the two syllables several times, and took two steps forward, closing the distance between them.
"Just like last time, I didn't expect to see you again."
Something is wrong! Something is 120% wrong!
Cecia stepped back again. She didn't want to have any more entanglement with the person in front of her.
If Wilbert was a novel toy before, he now seemed to have suddenly mutated into "Annabelle" - pretending to be obedient and well-behaved, but watching his master in a dark corner, waiting to give him a fatal blow.
"What's wrong, don't you want to see me?"
He continued to approach relentlessly, a hint of scarlet reflected in his eyes.
"Then why are you chasing me? This is the second time."
...That time in the woods! The other party knew she was following!
The discomfort in her heart reached its peak. Cecia was ready to leave, but her sight suddenly sank into darkness. In an instant, the auditorium was so quiet that only her faint heartbeat could be heard.
The melodious sound of the piano came quietly from the high platform, and a beam of dazzling light hit someone, announcing the appearance of the protagonist of the banquet.
"Welcome everyone to my birthday party..."
Ruan Liang was wearing a custom-made suit. One of his heads was smiling and talking loudly, while the other head was drowsy and yawning continuously.
Cecia didn't want to listen to his nonsense. With the weak light, she planned to return the same way, but a cold voice sounded next to her ear -
"You will remember everything about me..."
The voice triggered some bad memories, and Cecilia's body trembled violently. Almost without thinking, she threw a heavy punch backwards.
Unfortunately, her attack missed and only created a gust of air.
Someone behind him leaned back to avoid it. The upper half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his lips, which was creepy.
She had never seen him smile like this before.
The other person's figure was completely hidden in the darkness. Cecilia clenched her fists and was about to chase after him.
Just then, a familiar shout suddenly rang out, breaking the silence in the auditorium.
"Thea! Help! Thea! Help me!"
The voice was trembling, mixed with pain and pleading.
Teddy bear? What happened?
Cecia stopped and stared at the direction where the other person merged into the darkness for a second, then turned around abruptly and rushed towards the place where the sound came from.
Bang!
Before she took two steps, the lights around her suddenly came on again.
On the stage, Ruan Liang's figure was particularly eye-catching under the lights. As soon as his speech ended, people burst into applause like a tide, and there were even a few cheers.
In full view of the crowd, a little brown bear ran quickly past the crowd. It seemed to be too scared, and it used its hands and feet to rush towards Cecia.
"Thea! Blake has changed back again! Help!"
The teddy bear showed fear on its face, and its originally soft and docile fur stood up. It rolled and crawled into Cecilia's arms.
Behind it, Blake was chasing closely. She approached Cecia relentlessly and said sternly, "Hand it over."
Although Blake's eyes were still red after being controlled again, her temperament was completely different. She stretched out her hand confidently, as if asking for something that originally belonged to her.
"Thea! She's going to kill me!"
The teddy bear screamed because it was too frightened and hugged its right foot, where there were obvious signs of unraveling threads and even some cotton exposed.
After Cecia left, it tried diligently to comfort Blake, and his mood gradually improved. But when the lights went out, Blake seemed to have changed and suddenly pulled its body hard.
Previously, it had been protected by Cecia and had never been injured. It never thought that the teddy bear's body could feel pain - severe pain came from its right foot. It struggled desperately and finally broke free from the other party's hands.
In order to save his life, the teddy bear didn't care about anything else and could only run towards Cecia in the direction he remembered, shouting for help as he ran.
After being rescued, it realized how much noise it had made. Now, all eyes were on them.
"Was that a cat that just ran over? It ran onto the transfer student!"
"Wait... that looks like a doll..."
In this sudden farce, the chase between Blake and the teddy bear became the focus of the whole audience. People were talking about it, and no one remembered that Ruan Liangcai was the protagonist today.
As the person involved, Ruan Liang was not angry at all. The left side of his head maintained a bright smile, but the right side of his head was no longer sleepy and was staring at Cecilia greedily.
"Give me the doll!"
Blake shook his right hand twice, signaling Cecilia to give her the thing.
"Everyone has seen it. This doll can talk, run, jump, and even have human thoughts...Isn't it a specially raised dirty thing?"
"With this kind of stuff in school, who can sleep peacefully?"
With so many witnesses, she took an aggressive stance.
"Today, either you hand that thing over to me, or you get out of school with it!"
Blake snapped, his face full of undisguised smugness.
"Wait, aren't you going too far? No matter what, you can't ask your classmates to get out."
Ruan Liang suddenly interrupted, and it walked down from the platform step by step, with a bright smile on the right face of its head.
It reached out its hand to Cecia and said soothingly, "Don't be afraid. I won't let anyone drive you away."
"But can you give me what you have in your hand? Its presence can easily cause panic. Don't worry, if there is nothing abnormal, I will return it to you."
Hearing that Ruan Liang was also asking for him, the teddy bear knew he had done something wrong. He lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry, Xia... just hand me over."
The little guy tried hard to blink his eyes to prevent the tears of fear from falling.
"I can't let you get kicked out of school. The main storyline of the game revolves around the school, and most of the male protagonists are also in the school. If you leave here, it will be difficult to complete the strategy..."
"Shut up."
Cecia said coldly.
"This is my personal property. You have no right to interfere."
"But with your family background, what qualifications do you have to talk about personal property?"
Blake sneered, as if he had heard a huge joke.
"don’t worry."
Ruan Liang raised his hand and signaled Blake to be quiet. He still maintained his signature smile, and spoke softly, as if he really cared about Cecia: "I'm just checking it, I won't do anything to it, trust me."
"Want it?"
Cecia lifted the teddy bear above her head and shook it twice.
"It depends on whether you have the ability to do so."
A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, she stuffed the teddy bear into her arms, turned around and ran towards the entrance of the auditorium.
"My classmate, please be reasonable in everything."
The teacher with eyes all over his body suddenly stood in front of her and said in a gentle voice: "They have no right to ask for your things, but you should trust the teacher, right?"
"Cesia, give it to the teacher. As long as it is not a prohibited item, I will return it to you intact."
Her eyes swept over the body made of piles of flesh, and she keenly noticed that four or five of the other party's eyes were blind - the originally black pupils turned gray, and there was a hole poked in the center of the eyeball, which was still bleeding.
Peeping Tom teacher...it would be weird if you trust him!
Without wasting time talking to the other party, Cecia took out her axe and swung it at the other party.
"Kill—kill someone!"
Sharp shouts pierced the night sky, and the crowd who were originally watching the excitement fled in all directions, trying to get away from the source of danger.
Wine glasses and plates fell in the chaos. The sound of shattering porcelain echoed one after another, interweaving with people's screams. The entire banquet hall was in chaos.
Even though there were panicked people all around her, Cecilia was not affected at all. Her eyes were cold, and her movements were swift and powerful. Every time she swung the axe, she accurately hit the joints of the opponent's body.
There was a flash of surprise in the teacher's eyes, but he just slightly turned sideways to avoid Cecilia's attack and blocked her path again.
Countless eyes were operating on its body, forming a 360-degree surveillance network with no blind spots, allowing it to capture every subtle movement of hers.
In addition, its body, made up of twisted pieces of flesh, has no fixed shape and can change at will according to needs, making it difficult for Cecilia to seriously injure it quickly.
Just as the two were confronting each other, Ruan Liang also rushed over, followed by several men in black suits, adding a sense of oppression to the already tense atmosphere.
Damn it!
Cecia cursed inwardly.
The route she had originally intended to break through was now completely blocked by the wall of people. If she wanted to escape, she would probably have to clear all the obstacles in front of her.
