Cheng Shuang smiled and instantly understood why the receptionist hadn't come to stop the match.
If the manager blames the receptionist again for this unequal match, she will likely face more than just a few light criticisms; she will face substantial punishment such as a deduction of her bonus. For the homeless people here, this punishment would be quite terrible.
It chose to turn a blind eye, easily blaming the plastic toddler fussing over the story in its arms, because it hadn't noticed the key girl's private, willful behavior. But if it were to intervene now and stop a competition that was already unstoppable, the significance would be entirely different.
Similarly, if the girl with the key wins the competition, then it doesn't really matter whether anything happens or not.
People seek advantage and avoid harm, regardless of race.
'Ding! The competition has officially begun! Countdown five, four…'
When the count reached one, the girl with the key nimbly ran ahead of Cheng Shuang with her short legs, quickly and skillfully removing the lower leg, which landed precisely on the path Cheng Shuang would take.
It mistakenly assumed that Cheng Shuang was in a hurry to run to the dressing room just like it was. It figured that if Cheng Shuang ran, she would inevitably trip over her own legs before she could react. Then it would have time to pick out the prettiest clothes and hide all the other nice ones.
The Key Girl knew that many adults from out of town possessed strange superpowers. Since the rules for the games in the children's play area were limited, the use of those strange superpowers was prohibited. As a result, countless out-of-towners had lost to her, not to mention children not much older than her.
However, despite the key girl's many tricks, Cheng Shuang didn't fall for them at all; she remained completely unmoved...
The girl with the key was stunned for a moment. Embarrassed, she limped and looked at her calf, which was particularly noticeable on the ground. She asked in a muffled, buzzing voice, "Why didn't you run?"
Cheng Shuang smiled, held up two pretty little outfits, and tilted her head innocently, "I've finished choosing!"
The girl with the key screamed in disbelief, "Impossible! You couldn't be that fast!"
"I'm just that fast!" The little girl raised her head, and at that moment she had come to enjoy the fun of bullying the shorty, saying in a particularly annoying way, "Because I have long legs!"
The girl with the key... was so angry she turned into a pufferfish!
Cheng Shuang ignored the girl with the keys who rushed into the dressing room and held up the clothes to show the plastic girls present, "Which outfit do you like?"
The girls looked at the floor, then at the dressing room, and simultaneously pointed to a handsome and luxurious prince suit.
Cheng Shuang smiled sweetly, "Bad kids who lie and cheat don't deserve candy."
At this moment, the plastic girls exchanged glances and immediately turned their hands to another set of bling-bling princess-style dresses. One after another, more children pointed hesitantly to the princess tutu skirts.
Cheng Shuang stopped talking, found a corner, took off her sports jacket and put it on Luo An's head, pretending to change its clothes. In reality, the ghost doll changes its own clothes super fast!
When the girl with the key rushed out, she was dumbfounded again.
Two beautiful blue-eyed dolls stood hand in hand, one a handsome little prince and the other a delicate little princess. The plastic girls stared at them, exclaiming "Wow!" in admiration.
The girl with the key glanced at the little dress in her hand, then at her friends who had completely ignored her, and suddenly burst into tears. After crying twice, she felt a sweet taste in her mouth, tilted her head and 'looked' at a small bag in front of her. She couldn't wait to reach out and grab it, but Cheng Shuang swung her long arm and dodged her.
Cheng Shuang asked with a smile, "Little sister, did I win? Tell the truth, and I'll give you candy!"
Dragon Flame: Ha, greasiness on full display!
Sigh!
Bear Cub: I have a math problem. There are ten apples. Guess how many the dragon can eat in one bite?
The girl with the key stood frozen for a long time, until she saw the other little girls divide up the two big bags, then she nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, yes, you won, big sister!"
'Ding! Party B wins!'
Cheng Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. Even the play area where a child stays is full of traps. But at least he won the game and didn't have to spend any points!
She handed the small bag to the girl with the key, and when she turned around to pick up the pearl key from the ground, she suddenly froze.
A mechanical beeping sounded in my eardrums, and the key turned out to be a return ticket.
She clenched her fists, lowered her eyes, avoiding the intermittent watchful gaze of the plastic receptionist, and murmured: "Copy Luo An."
The ghost doll reacted extremely quickly, touching the key, and immediately a key with a pearl necklace appeared in its hand.
The instructions for copying the key are simple—it's a mischievous doll display window key, limited to 100 uses. Once it exceeds 100 uses, it will clog the keyhole and break!
Cheng Shuang remembered that the glass of the display stand was a safety window that automatically closed and locked. The girl with the key changed dolls very frequently, and the lock would probably break after a hundred unlocks in a few days.
That's good. It always takes time and money to fix things when they break. At least it will save the dolls in the center row some trouble.
Originally, she planned to use Luo An's skill to replicate and steal a doll, thus uncovering the secrets behind the shopping mall. However, the key turned out to be a return ticket, rendering her original plan impossible.
What else can temporary ownership of the doll do besides giving her the opportunity to copy the key?
Cheng Shuang stood quietly in front of the display stand, her gaze sweeping over the faces of the dolls one by one. To be made into a protector of dolls, one's features must be at least above average.
Whether young or mature, their eyes are closed, their expressions peaceful, and their lips are pursed in a smile.
To accommodate the height of the plastic girl, the display stand is not very tall. Including the row in the center, there are three rows, with a drawer at the bottom.
The girl with the key was leaning against the edge of the cabinet, where she could clearly see the faces of the dolls in the center position and make her selection.
Therefore, there weren't many dolls on the display stand, about ten in a row, and fewer in the center, five in total. Including the six that were taken by the children, there were a total of thirty-two dolls.
Cheng Shuang quickly performed the calculation.
Apart from the one in the center, there were about seven or eight dolls left in the other two rows that had their limbs broken and were carelessly discarded to the side. Their faces were gray and didn't look like new dolls.
The ten boys in the block area represent ten dead protectors.
Based on the shopping center's capacity and the maintenance workers she encountered over the two days and two nights, the young girl had a plan in mind.
She used a malicious key to open the glass door and first took out a doll with its legs broken and left in the corner. Even without legs, two metal rods still pierced the doll from the leg position.
Cheng Shuang pursed her lips and took the doll off without hesitation.
To avoid causing more pain due to slow movements, she moved very quickly, but did not ignore the doll's facial expressions.
Unsurprisingly, the mutilated doll turned into a completely unconscious dummy, showing no signs of life whatsoever.
Life is always fragile and cannot withstand all kinds of wear and tear.
