Saving the Flesh: Panda Rat's Prison Escape Plan
When the smell of disinfectant reached Xiaodou's nose, she was scratching the ventilation duct in the GM laboratory with her panda claws. The inner wall of the duct was covered with a layer of sticky icing sugar - obviously GM had tried to lure her into a trap with sweets, but unexpectedly, it became the lubricant for her escape.
"Countdown 23 hours and 17 minutes." Lin Shen's personality's data stream projected a countdown on the pipe wall. "Bai Shenyuan's body is located in the medical cabin on the third underground floor. Along the way are 12 mechanical gates, 8 sets of laser nets, and..."
"And the 37 guards who are obsessed with the panda rats." Ling Yuan's personality used a pistol to pry open the grille, his voice filled with impatience. "Hurry up, I smell the sweet nutrient solution—it's extracted from red bean hair."
Bai Yan's personality suddenly pressed down on Xiaodou's paw, tapping his fingertips rhythmically on the metal wall. The next second, the patrolling mechanical guards collectively stopped and pulled Xiaodou's holographic postcard from their pockets: "It's daily rat-sucking time! Play the 47th head-patting video—"
"Now!" Ling Yuan picked up Xiaodou and sprinted away. Her tail swept across the guards' screens, triggering an automatic playback function. As the slow-motion projection of a panda rat chewing bamboo filled the corridor, pink hearts appeared on the joints of the guards' gears, and they began to spin in circles.
At the seventh gate, Lin Shen adjusted his glasses and analyzed, "The password is GM's rat-sucking anniversary, which is the date when Xiaodou first live-streamed himself chewing bread—"
"August 10, 2025!" Bai Yan's eyes lit up, but Xiaodou beat her to the punch. She pressed the number with her icing-sugar-covered paw, and the gate suddenly erupted in multicolored confetti. The GM's voice popped up on the screen: "Congratulations on triggering the [Sweet Jailbreak] achievement!"
In front of the medical bay's steel bars, Xiaodou took a deep breath and rushed forward, clutching the cutting gun Ling Yuan had handed her. She closed her eyes and bit the steel bars hard, but her claws slipped, triggering a self-destruct sequence. Sparks crackled and scorched the fur around her panda eyes.
"Warning! A mutant panda has been spotted!" The guards' alarms rang, but they all shut down after seeing Xiaodou's "smoky makeup"—the charred black fur and snow-white hair formed a panda eye effect, and the tearful pupils triggered the hidden skill [Horror Cute Cyberpunk Edition].
"So, so cute..." A guard's gear heart thumped wildly as he offered his keycard. "Please give me a pat on the head! I can destroy any facility after I do that!"
As Ling Yuan used the keycard to open the medical bay, the mechanical cat suddenly played "Wedding March." The GM, facing the nutrient solution tank, wiped tears, "Their wedding vows in their past lives were so touching..." On screen, the three souls of Bai Shenyuan were weaving a wreath for Xiaodou using fox fire, a giant sword, and a data stream.
"Now!" Lin Shen hacked into the system. "Analysis of the nutrient solution's ingredients is complete—99% is adzuki bean hair extract, and 1% is GM's tears of longing."
"...It can be even more outrageous." Ling Yuan frowned and cut open the cabin. When he picked up Bai Shenyuan's body, he noticed the new rune that appeared on the inside of his wrist - it was exactly the same as the rat head mark on Xiaodou's chest.
The ventilation duct suddenly collapsed, and Xiaodou, holding Bai Shenyuan, rolled into the GM's private collection room. The walls were densely covered with her plush toys in various forms: some wearing wedding dresses, some chewing on gears, and even a cyberpanda wearing sunglasses.
The most eye-catching thing is the mechanical device in the central glass cabinet, with three rings floating inside - the "sweet", "favor" and "stable" rings from the previous life's wedding. The nameplate below the device reads:
Concept Rat Tribe Resonance Core: Preparation for Phase 3 Launch
Xiaodou's paw suddenly got caught on something. She looked down and saw a notebook covered with teeth marks. The latest page had the following words written in icing sugar:
If the collection room is discovered by Panda Rat...
I cried and begged her to chew on the new toy I designed!
The GM's footsteps could be heard in the distance, accompanied by a cheerful whistle. Ling Yuan shielded Xiaodou behind him, only to find her staring blankly at the panda doll in the glass cabinet. Sewn onto the doll's belly was a familiar piece of fabric, a remnant of Bai Yan's costume from his previous life.
“Crack.”
Xiaodou unconsciously bit off the handle of the glass cabinet, and the rings inside suddenly flew up, embedding themselves between the eyebrows of Bai Shenyuan's three souls. Golden ripples exploded in Lin Shen's data stream. He pointed tremblingly in the direction of the nutrient solution tank, "Look! The GM's true goal isn't to revive the Guardian..."
Instead, he completely bound the three souls to the Concept Rat, making them the core engine of his "Sweet Heavenly Path"!
