Chapter 64
Chu Fu couldn't bear to tell the little Loli the truth. Seeing that she didn't say a word, Bai Yan was relieved.
If Chu Fu told the truth that Loli's mother was dead, no matter how strong the little girl was, she would inevitably cry or make a fuss, which would cause great inconvenience to their investigation.
Although the App said that it gave NPCs a mentally retarded aura, NPCs would unconditionally trust the player's identity. But if you say that someone's relatives are dead and you can't provide evidence, even if the NPCs believe that they are detectives, they will not cooperate with their actions.
I'm afraid that if it drags on, Chu Fu will say something shocking.
Bai Yan took the coin from the little girl and asked, "Where did your mother disappear? Did you encounter anything strange yesterday?"
"I'm sorry, I don't remember..." Cai Yu looked up at Bai Yan, frowned and thought hard, "I can't remember when my mother disappeared, but I know she disappeared in the supermarket!"
"Supermarket?"
"Yes, it's at the bottom of the building!" Cai Yu nodded.
Bai Yan secretly noted it down. He had just entered the game and was not familiar with the layout of the mall. But the situation on each floor of the mall can be checked later, and the name 'Ghost Mall' implies a lot. If you go in without knowing anything, you will easily die. The most urgent thing is to get information from Cai Yu.
So, Bai Yan continued to ask: "Did you find anything wrong after entering the supermarket? For example... did you see a ghost?"
"Ghost? Do you mean the ghost in the cartoon story?" Cai Yu pouted, looking very unhappy: "The teacher said that there are no ghosts in the world. Big brother, don't lie to me. I really want to find my mother... I skipped school today. If I don't find my mother quickly, the teacher will tell on me, and my father will find out that I skipped school..."
Cai Yu's logic is very clear, and she is mature, not like a seven or eight-year-old child.
If Cai Yu was a little older, Bai Yan would never ask her directly if she saw a ghost.
Cai Yu doesn't believe that there are ghosts in the world. Although she didn't answer Bai Yan's question, Bai Yan also knew that she probably didn't see it, otherwise he wouldn't think he was joking.
Considering that no matter how mature a child of this age is, his understanding ability is always limited.
Bai Yan thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember what happened yesterday? If you don't tell us, we can't help you find your mother."
"Well... I'll tell you, but you must help me find my mother."
Cai Yu nodded vigorously, shaking her head and said, "Yesterday was Sunday. In the morning, my mother was mopping the floor and cooking, and I was doing my homework. At noon, my mother and I had lunch, and then we took a nap. In the afternoon, my mother took me to the supermarket to buy things..."
"...Well, my mother and I were shopping in the supermarket, and then my mother suddenly disappeared!"
Speaking of this, Cai Yu was very sad: "I said I wanted to drink yogurt, so I asked my mother to wait for me, and I ran to get yogurt, but when I went back, my mother was lost... Where did my mother go?"
"Wait, where did your mother get lost in the supermarket?"
"The place where yogurt is sold!" Cai Yu said affirmatively: "There are a lot of yogurts there, and a lot of cool things, but it's cold, and my mother disappeared there."
After Cai Yu finished speaking, Bai Yan also had an idea of the place where Loli's mother disappeared.
A cool place... there is yogurt. This should be near the refrigerator in the supermarket.
Despite playing five games, Bai Yan still couldn't figure out how a busy supermarket could be haunted.
However, the game world is full of weirdness. When it's your turn to die, you have to die, so he didn't delve into it and continued to ask Cai Yu for information.
"What did you do after your mother disappeared? How did you spend last night?"
"My mother disappeared, so I looked for her everywhere in the supermarket, but I couldn't find her anywhere. I was very scared, so I called my father, and my father took me home..." Cai Yu tried to recall what happened yesterday: "After returning home, my father bought me a meal. At night, he was going to find my mother and asked me to look after the house. I slept alone in bed..."
Cai Yu spoke intermittently, and was stuck here for a long time, making Bai Yan think that this little Lolita couldn't remember more things.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to take Cai Yu into the mall, Cai Yu suddenly said, "By the way, I dreamed of my mother last night. My mother was lying behind me, saying that she was very cold, and asked me to go to the supermarket to save her!"
She survived to the sixth level in a daze, and she also knew a lot of things.
The ghosts in the game may have been first-class good people when they were alive, but when they died, the first thing they did was to find their relatives in their lifetime and let them die with them!
Cai Yu's mother asked her to go to the supermarket, probably not to let her daughter save her, but to kill her with her own hands!
For a moment, Chu Fu wanted to speak up to stop Cai Yu and not let her go to the mall.
Anyway...Anyway, there are other NPCs behind, and this child is so young, so don't take her.
However, before she could speak, she saw Bai Yan lead Cai Yu into the mall, and then took Cai Yu out again after a few seconds.
Seeing this, she was surprised and asked, "What are you doing?"
"..." Glancing at Chu Fu, Bai Yan was too lazy to explain, but afraid that she would make trouble, he said casually, "Let's try to see if this counts as completing the task, but it's hard to exploit the loopholes in the App. I'm afraid we have to wait until the NPC is in danger and leaves the mall before it counts."
Cai Yu looked at the two with a face full of question marks, not understanding what the two older brothers and sisters were talking about.
But Cai Yu soon stopped caring about this. She looked up for a while and felt that Chu Fu was much more friendly. She gently pulled her sleeve and whispered, "Sister, are you done talking? Can you accompany me to find my mother?"
Chu Fu looked down at Cai Yu and looked at her expectant face. She really couldn't bear it.
Chu Fu was full of sympathy for Loli, but Bai Yan didn't feel that way at all.
If Cai Yu didn't go into the mall, how could she complete this mission?
And without Cai Yu in front, what should they do when they meet Loli's mother? Will you, Chu Fu, do it? They can even kill their own daughter, let alone you, a stranger?
If Chu Fu could take the initiative to die, Bai Yan would certainly be happy to see it.
However, Chu Fu couldn't be counted on, so Bai Yan naturally had to take Loli to find her biological mother.
The daughter couldn't wait to see her mother, so don't disturb the reunion of mother and daughter.
Seeing that Cai Yu was holding onto Chu Fu's clothes and refused to let go, Bai Yan whispered that he wanted to go in to investigate. Cai Yu hesitated for a moment, then let go of Chu Fu's sleeves and trotted in behind Bai Yan.
Seeing this, Chu Fu gritted her teeth and followed in.
She couldn't bear to watch such a young child die. She might be able to save her by keeping a close eye on her.
Chu Fu was also afraid, of course, but after going through a few levels, she felt that the App game was not that difficult. The previous levels were also quite dangerous, but she survived them all, and maybe this game could be saved.
…
After entering the mall, Bai Yan first found the floor plan and memorized the layout of the mall.
After reading the floor plan, he took Cai Yu on the escalator and went down to the underground floor of the mall.
When they arrived at the supermarket, Bai Yan thought about it and let go of Loli's hand.
He asked Cai Yu to lead the way in front, and he lagged behind by two steps, so as not to implicate innocent people when the female ghost sent her daughter off.
After walking for a while, Cai Yu led the two to the refrigerator soon.
She stood at the place where she took the yogurt yesterday, pointed at it and said, "I found my mother missing here. I took the yogurt and turned around, and found that my mother was gone!"
Bai Yan stood in the middle of the aisle, a distance away from the refrigerator, so as not to be killed by the ghost hidden in the refrigerator.
He glanced at the refrigerator, which was filled with cheese, drinks, yogurt and other various products. Among the densely packed products, he really didn't see a single ghost.
"Cai Yu is standing here, so her mother must have had an accident somewhere else."
Bai Yan carefully avoided all the cold things along the way, which can be said to be extremely cautious.
He looked at Chu Fu who was following behind him, and was speechless for a while-
Chu Fu actually pushed a shopping cart with a lot of snacks piled in it. Not to mention that it was a survey now, not a time for shopping at all, just say something else, do you have money in this game?
As it turns out, Chu Fu is really rich, otherwise she wouldn't take a lot of things.
Bai Yan was completely speechless about this girl, but he had already decided to play a single-player game, and it would be the same with or without her.
What troubled him was that even when pushing the cart, Chu Fu did not forget Cai Yu.
Chu Fu kept reminding Cai Yu not to get close to the freezer, which caused a lot of trouble for his investigation.
Fortunately, Cai Yu was a little girl who wanted to find her mother.
Bai Yan coaxed her softly and made Cai Yu act according to his wishes.
The refrigerator looked normal, and Cai Yu stood in front of it for a long time, but nothing happened.
So Bai Yan said again: "Do you remember where your mother stood before she disappeared? Can you take us there to see?"
Cai Yu nodded her head and ran to a large freezer with her legs.
Unlike the freezer, this freezer was closed and contained ice cream and popsicles.
Seeing this freezer, Cai Yu suddenly remembered something. She remembered that she wanted to eat ice cream at that time, so her mother waited for her here and helped her choose ice cream.
Thinking of this, Cai Yu quickly told Bai Yan about this.
Bai Yan thought about it, walked to the freezer, and looked inside through the glass.
The freezer was filled with all kinds of ice cream and ice cream, and it was difficult to see what was inside.
However, this was the place where Cai Yu's mother disappeared, so it was not too cautious.
Just as Bai Yan was about to ask Cai Yu to open the freezer, he found Chu Fu rushing forward, pushing Cai Yu aside, and opening the freezer.
