Chapter 1913 - 849: Deadly Hide-and-Seek (Part 2)
Lin Baici leaned into Gu Qingqiu’s ear and quietly told her the intelligence he had just learned.
Because time was tight and Lin Baici was anxious, his movements were large, causing his lips to accidentally brush against Gu Qingqiu’s earlobe.
It was the first time a man’s mouth had touched Gu Qingqiu, and she couldn’t help but shiver.
Lin Baici finished speaking and looked at San Miyairi: "You heard it, right?"
"Yes!"
The Sakura Girl nodded, her eyes filled with suspicion.
Lin Baici spoke so decisively, as if he had experienced this rule pollution and was already familiar with it.
"Brother Fish, you heard it, right?"
Lin Baici ignored Xia Hongyao because with the high ponytail’s hearing, there was definitely no problem.
"OK!"
The Fish Guy made an OK hand gesture.
"Take care of Sister Zhong and Yintong!"
Lin Baici grabbed Kim Myungjin’s hand: "We’ll go to this floor!"
"Good luck!"
The Fish Guy wasn’t a dawdler; he gave his blessing with a word and went straight downstairs.
"God Lin, what if we go down a few more floors?"
Zeng Shuang wanted to be with Lin Baici, at least upstairs or downstairs, so if they encountered Barbie dolls, she could run up for help. But if Lin Baici was on this floor and the Barbie dolls came down, they’d come here first.
The risk was too great.
"I’ll choose this floor; you guys hurry down!"
Lin Baici, with Kim Myungjin, ran into the corridor.
"That Goryeo Girl is really lucky!"
Li Yintong envied.
The rules said, the more people there were, the greater the chance of being found by the Barbie dolls, but Lin Baici still unhesitatingly took her.
This kind of man, not to mention finding him with a lantern, even with a radar, you wouldn’t find.
"Let’s go to this floor!"
Gu Qingqiu finished speaking, and San Miyairi and Xia Hongyao immediately followed.
"Amazing!"
The Fish Guy admired.
These girls were braver than himself.
"..."
Wu Hongfu and Wang Qing were speechless seeing this scene.
They were originally worried that Xia Hongyao would make them go upstairs. Although they wouldn’t be happy with that, they wouldn’t dare oppose it because even without Xia Hongmian’s immense deterrence, Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao alone were already enough to provoke.
Not to mention adding Princess Yukihime of Dayao.
But Xia Hongyao and the others didn’t do that!
Compared with scum like Kreiser, they were practically saints.
"Damn, accustomed to being bullied before, now suddenly encountering such good people, I’m actually somewhat unaccustomed!"
Wu Hongfu complained.
"Are they really not afraid at all?"
Zeng Shuang didn’t understand.
She saw Lin Baici calmly choosing the upper floor and was already shocked by it, but Xia Hongyao and the others were no less surprising.
"Why care so much, let’s get through this first!"
Wang Qing tried to run a few more floors down.
Zeng Shuang pursed her lips, suddenly feeling cowardly, but couldn’t blame herself because anyone teaming up with someone like Wang Qing probably wouldn’t build confidence.
The countdown ended, and the first batch of Barbie dolls began refreshing on the floor where the monsters first appeared and then started searching downward.
Now it’s purely up to luck.
Some Barbie dolls glanced down the corridor and continued downward, others went in and started randomly choosing rooms to search.
...
Lin Baici, once the countdown ended, hid in a room with Kim Myungjin.
Judging by the layout, it should be a guest room.
The room had a carpet, a double bed, two wardrobes beside it, and nothing else.
Very simple setup.
Lin Baici activated the Passing Ears Recitation, paying attention to the outside commotion.
"Myungjin, hide under the bed!"
Lin Baici didn’t hide but instead took the chance to search the room, hoping to find some intelligence related to this pollution, and if there was a cat, even better.
But the hope wasn’t high!
A cat is a living creature!
If there was one, Lin Baici would have noticed it as soon as he entered.
Kim Myungjin hid under the bed, lying there with a double-barreled shotgun, wanting to aim for the door, but the bed frame was too low to the ground.
Lin Baici finished looking through the wardrobe and wanted to check by the window when he suddenly heard faint footsteps outside.
It was a hopping sound!
He could imagine a Barbie doll bouncing and hopping all the way looking.
Lin Baici originally planned to get into the wardrobe but felt it was too conspicuous, so he activated Cat Step Light Charm and hid behind the curtain.
The footsteps came, then moved away, without coming in.
Lin Baici let out a sigh of relief but didn’t dare let his guard down, continuing to wait.
Three minutes later, he tiptoed to the door, opened it, and glanced outside.
There was no one in the corridor!
"Kim Myungjin, stay close to me!"
Lin Baici checked again and immediately rushed to the next room.
The Goryeo girl followed.
Lin Baici quickly searched the room but couldn’t find a single cat hair.
"How is this any different from searching for a needle in a haystack?"
Lin Baici frowned in thought.
Suddenly, an idea struck Lin Baici’s mind.
If I can’t find the cat, why not let the cat find me?
Lin Baici immediately took out the White Deer Horn Bone Flute, blew it lightly twice, and then retrieved a Black Tripod Bowl from the reindeer’s pack. Next, he grabbed a backpack and started stuffing various canned luncheon meats inside.
"Let’s go, let’s change rooms!"
After doing all this, Lin Baici, worried that the sound of the flute might attract the Barbie dolls, immediately moved.
Sure enough, as soon as the two hid in the third room next door, they began to hear footsteps in the corridor outside.
A Barbie doll cat, hearing the commotion, came over.
Lin Baici and Kim Myungjin both hid under the bed.
About five minutes later, the footsteps faded away.
"Wait here for me, I’m going to set traps!"
Lin Baici instructed Kim Myungjin with a word, left the room, then started opening those cans, throwing a few in alternating rooms.
"Kitties, come eat!"
As Lin Baici threw the cans in the fifth room, a Barbie doll came out from a room, saw him, and immediately sprinted over.
"Damn!"
Lin Baici cursed, entered the room, locked the door, then rushed to the window.
[Don’t even think about escaping through the window, you’ll definitely be spotted!]
The Eater God commented.
"What should I do now? Should I start killing?"
Lin Baici frowned. The only good news was that the Barbie doll hadn’t summoned any companions.
But if a fight started and he couldn’t take down the Barbie doll instantly, it would make a noise, likely attracting more Barbie dolls.
Wait,
Can I scare it away by imitating a cat?
The Barbie doll ran over, tried twisting the doorknob, couldn’t open it, and then started banging on the door.
Lin Baici immediately activated Performance Master!
"Meow!"
Lin Baici called out, and the banging outside paused instantly.
"Will this work?"
Lin Baici immediately increased the dosage.
Meow!
Meow!
Lin Baici called out twice.
There was no sound outside.
Lin Baici thought for a moment, then tiptoed to the door while emitting an intimidating cat sound, as if he had seen another cat intruding into his territory.
Meow!
This time it worked; there were footsteps from the Barbie doll outside, indicating it was retreating.
Once Lin Baici couldn’t hear the footsteps anymore, he immediately came out and started running back.
"Kim Myungjin, let’s go!"
Lin Baici decided to change floors, worried that the Barbie doll would bring reinforcements.
In fact, the Barbie doll did just that.
Right after Lin Baici went downstairs, it returned with several Barbie dolls, barging into the room where Lin Baici had previously been hiding.
But they were a step too late.
...
"I wonder how the others are doing?"
Kim Myungjin worried.
Just as she finished speaking, an explosion sounded outside.
Boom!
The chandelier wobbled from the shock.
"I wonder which unlucky soul that was?"
Lin Baici rummaged through the wardrobe.
This kind of explosion was clearly a self-destruct attack by the Barbie doll cats after discovering a ’mouse’.
After a thorough search, Lin Baici hadn’t found anything and was preparing to move again when he heard a bizarre song.
"I’m Baobao, a Barbie doll!"
"I live in the Candy House by the Milk River!"
"In the castle, mom sewed and sewed until I came to be."
"I’m searching and searching, trying to find mom!"
