Chapter 232 - Testing the Murderous Teddy Bear’s Abilities
Chapter 232 Testing the Murderous Teddy Bear’s Abilities
Su Yang felt a buzz in his head and a chill all over his body. Where was the teddy bear? He couldn’t care less if the floor was clean or not, he got under the bed and kept looking for it, and still nothing! After coming out from under the bed, Su Yang called Little Deeny at the first opportunity, and said in a stern voice, “Have all the little monsters come to the living room.” Although she didn’t know what was happening, Little Deeny could feel Su Yang’s strained tone and immediately informed all the monsters to gather in the living room.
In just a short moment, all the little monsters in the house had gathered around when Su Yang went down to the living room.
Gru, Little Hus, Janet, and Dagger Girl were sitting at the dining table. Satantan was placed on the coffee table, Little Denny was leading the eight little monster beans, while Fatty stood beside the table. That’s right… Other than the two sacrificed by Su Yang, and the three monster beans that worked at Koike’s milk tea shop, there were only eight little monster beans left in the house…
The others had all exploded. Under Little Deeny’s command, Fatty was quite obedient, sitting next to the little monster beans, unmoving and silent.
Arriving at the table, Su Yang’s gaze sized up a few monsters and finally landed on Little Hus. “Who went into my room last night?” Before Little Hus could speak, Dagger Girl raised her own hand and said in a cute voice, “Brother Su Yang, I’ve been there.” Su Yang looked at her. “What were you doing in my room?” Little Dagger Girl said in a quirky voice. “I was going to peel an apple for you.” Su Yang wore a puzzled expression. ‘Is that even possible? ‘But… There did seem to be an apple on my table last night.’
Su Yang replied, “You’re off the hook.”
After saying that, he asked again, “Who else went into my room?” Gru also raised his hand, which was a tangle of several forked twigs. After raising its hands, Gru began to speak. “Gru Gru, Gru Gru.”
Su Yang was speechless “Good. Got it. You put your hand down.”
Without Sanque to translate what Gru said, no one could understand what it was saying. If he let Little Hus translate, that dog thing might have deliberately mistranslated.
Gru happily dropped his hand.
Su Yang looked to Janet. Janet waved his hand and said in a woman’s voice, “My lord, I won’t go to your room without your permission.” Su Yang nodded his head in approval. At this time, the voice of Little Deeny came from behind Su Yang, “Master, I also entered your room.” Su Yang turned his head to look at Little Deeny in surprise. “Why did you go to my room?”
Deeny said apologetically, “I went to make the sheets and bedding for you.” Su Yang was puzzled. “It’s fine, let the little monster beans do that.” Little Deeny proudly cocked her head. “That’s not okay. How can I let them do something as personal as master’s sleep arrangements?! I definitely have to do it myself.”
Su Yang was speechless again.
‘What’s wrong with all of them!’
Su Yang didn’t bother to continue asking questions and looked directly at Little Hus, “Explain.”
Little Hus’s eyes dodged his gaze. “Huh? What? I’ve never been there.”
Without hesitation, Su Yang turned towards the little monster beans and shouted. “Bring the washing machine over here!”
Little Hus panicked and lurched, “FINE! I’ll tell you!”
Little Hus threw himself all over the floor. “I’m guilty. I’m sorry… Su Yang. I lost your teddy bear!” Su Yang said seriously, “Tell me more and I’ll punish you later.”
Little Hus sat up from the floor and said weakly, “Yesterday afternoon, I smelled a looming fragrance in your house and knew that you must have added a point and created some good stuff again.” “Whenever you added a point to something, and if it was something useful you’d tell us about it so I was curious as to what happened this time.” “So I went to your room and followed the scent and found the teddy bear.”
Su Yang quietly listened to its explanation. The husky pattern on the cuddle pillow lowered its head and carefully examined Su Yang with its eyes. “After I found the teddy bear, I didn’t know what it was capable of but I thought it was pretty.”
‘Pretty?
‘Little Hus’s sense of style… is weird.’
Su Yang sighed.
Little Hus continued, “So I took it out to show it to Janet and asked her if she liked it. I told her if she did, that I’d ask a favor of you and see if I could give it to her.” Su Yang looked at Janet, who returned his gaze with her blue eyes before nodding her head.
Little Hus continued, “Who would’ve known that Janet looked at it for a short while after receiving it, was uninterested and threw it away shortly after.” “I was going to put that teddy bear back, but once I talked to Janet, I lost track of time. Shortly after, it suddenly came to life with scarlet eyes and pulled a 30cm knife out of its body, preparing to stab Janet. “However, it was clearly not strong enough to do it, and Janet knocked it out in three hits. “We both tied it up, wanting to leave it to you to deal with when you got back. “As it turned out… Who knows, after a few hours, it suddenly disappeared into thin air.”
Su Yang frowned and asked, “Disappeared into thin air?”
The little husky’s head nodded. “Yes, it disappeared.”
Su Yang looked at Janet. This male shark turned into a “woman” and was quietly listening to the two people chatting, his western face a little out of place in this house.
When he saw Su Yang looking over, Janet said, “Little Hus, there are two things you don’t know. The moment I picked up that teddy bear, I heard a voice in my ears that said (the hide-and-seek game has officially begun, and you will have thirty minutes to hide). “I thought I was hallucinating at the time, so I didn’t care. “The second thing was that after that teddy bear disappeared, I heard a voice in my ear again, [It’s your turn to find me this time). Su Yang contemplated. ‘It seems that the teddy bear should’ve triggered the state of (Catch.) After being defeated by Janet and getting tied up, it triggered the state of (Hide] again.’
Su Yang recalled the introduction of the teddy bear he saw. ‘Possess a person within 100 meters, and after being found by the target, revert into a toy.
“Then it must have possessed someone in the house.’
Su Yang looked around the room. ‘Hmm… It seems like he’s the only one in the house besides Janet, right?
‘Pool went to the milk tea shop and wasn’t home, so it couldn’t have possessed him, and no one else in the community was in the same space, so it shouldn’t have possessed them either.’
Su Yang said to Janet, “It might be on me, come and try.” Janet was obedient to Su Yang and when he heard Su Yang say that, he came up, grabbed Su Yang’s arm with his hand, and said, “Got you.”
With that, Su Yang felt a lightness in his body, as if something was being pulled away. Looking again, he found that there was indeed a dirty teddy bear in Janet’s hand.
After taking the teddy bear, Su Yang looked towards Little Hus. “You aren’t allowed to go to my room again, and if I catch you stealing my things again, I’ll make you stay in the washing machine for the rest of your life.” The husky on the pillow shrank its head and didn’t dare to say anything, obviously knowing that it had caused everyone trouble. Su Yang put the teddy bear on the table and explained to the little monsters, “I’ll get a special item from the system store every week. These special items are different from the ones I add myself, and they may be dangerous.” Saying that, Satantan turned its head slowly in the living room. When Su Yang looked at it, it slowly turned back and turned into a statue again. Su Yang continued, “So you are NOT allowed to go to my room or touch my special items from now on. If I think there is something suitable for all of you to use, I’ll take it out and let you use it together.” Su Yang paused and looked at Little Hus. “I guess with your height, you couldn’t have hugged the teddy bear before bringing it to Janet, right? You must’ve held it up and dragged it to Janet, right?” Little Hus nodded his head. Su Yang said, “The characteristic of this item is that once you hug it, it will force you to participate in a (Hide and Seek] game. It’ll try to find and kill you within three hours.” Little Dagger Girl raised her hand and asked adorably, “But Little Brother Hus said that this teddy bear isn’t unbeatable, didn’t he?” Su Yang stroked Little Dagger Girl’s head and explained, “It isn’t unbeatable to Janet. The system judged this teddy bear to have the strength equivalent to that of a young brown bear. Since Little Hus said that this teddy bear could also use weapons, it’s even more dangerous.” “Ah…” Dagger Girl nodded in confusion. “What’s a young brown bear?” Su Yang was speechless and ignored her. He saw that none of the little monsters present were particularly concerned, so he knocked on the table. “Maybe one of you thinks that you are monsters and will hardly die or get hurt. But!”
Su Yang intensified his tone. “This item also has another ability: [Certain Death)! If it uses its [Night Kill] ability, no matter what material you’re made of, what traits you have, whether you are a monster or not, you’ll be killed in one strike.”
As soon as Su Yang said this, the little monsters looked at each other and kept quiet.
Su Yang knocked on the table once again. “I repeat, I don’t want you guys to go to my room again!”
Saying that, Su Yang got up and instructed Deeny, “Throw Little Hus into the washing machine for three hours and let it reflect on its wrongdoings.” Then, he went upstairs. After going upstairs, Su Yang looked at the teddy bear in his hand and thought about it.
Last night, he didn’t sleep all night. Could it also be because he was possessed by this murderous bear?
After talking with Xu Lu, he was agitated but the negative emotions weren’t that serious. It was only after returning home that he felt uncomfortable.
However, the possession felt fine. Fortunately, this teddy bear’s additional ability was not triggered, otherwise Janet might have died soon after his rebirth as a ‘human’.
But how exactly does it trigger the [Night Kill] add-on ability?
The difference between ability and talent was that an (Ability) could be turned on and off, but a (Talent] was a trait that was constantly activated on an item, or a person, and could never be turned off.
Su Yang fumbled with the dirty teddy bear, and after feeling it for half a day, he suddenly found a button under its armpit. Su Yang gently pressed it, and a prompt sounded in his mind. (Beep! Warning! The Night Kill ability is activated! Please be aware of the danger!)
Su Yang pressed the button again, and a prompt sounded in his mind once more. (Beep, Night Kill ability is deactivated.]
‘It seems to be this button.’ Although Su Yang didn’t want to use it, but after what happened yesterday with Tang Dafa and Young Master Chen, he had to make some bad plans after looking at the teddy bear.
So, thinking like this, Su Yang hugged the teddy bear in his arms. Only after experiencing it himself, could he know how capable this teddy bear was. The moment Su Yang held the teddy bear in his arms, a prompt sounded in his mind. (The hide-and-seek game has officially begun, you have thirty minutes to hide]. It seemed to be the same as what Janet said.
Su Yang studied the teddy bear in his arms and it didn’t have any abnormalities, as if the sound just now had nothing to do with it.
Su Yang put it beside him and just observed it.
After more than twenty minutes, Su Yang went to the toilet to wash his hands with soap and returned to the teddy bear to observe it.
The teddy bear suddenly stood up slowly from the ground and put up a devilish smile, its eyes scarlet, it touched its head, and slowly pulled out a “long knife” as tall as it was. After all this, it waved the long knife, leapt up and slashed at Su Yang.
Su Yang dodged and kicked it. Su Yang originally thought that this teddy bear was light and could be kicked away with one kick. However, he didn’t expect the kick to go upward like he was kicking a young brown bear! Su Yang was shocked and took a few steps backward. The teddy bear staggered two steps to the side as well.
As soon as they were engaged, Su Yang knew that he had misjudged the strength of the teddy bear. He immediately started Plan B. He jumped on the teddy bear and touched it with his hand, causing the teddy bear to freeze in place, unable to move. Su Yang wiped the sweat on his forehead: During critical moments, it’s still necessary to rely on the (Unorthodox Soap). That’s right, when he just went to wash his hands, he used (Unorthodox Soap).
Then, Su Yang went out of the room and called Janet over to keep an eye on the teddy bear while Su Yang continued to wash his hands in the bathroom, intending to see how the teddy bear would track him once it lost his target. Ten minutes later, the teddy bear appeared out of thin air again, and then slashed at Su Yang with the 30cm fruit knife.
Su Yang touched it again, so it was, once again, fixed in place.
Su Yang felt that this teddy bear was really gruesome. It didn’t even say hello before it came out and slashed at him!
It was simply a weird teddy holding a watermelon knife. It seemed like it would slash all the way from the Southern Heavenly Gate to East Penglai Road…
Dragging the teddy bear out of the toilet, Su Yang threw it on the ground and lamented, “It’s so heavy. This thing has actually changed in weight since it transformed.”
He asked Janet, “How did it just get to me.”
Janet replied, “It just disappeared into thin air.”
Su Yang nodded. “You keep watching it, I’ll go outside the virtual space and give it a try.” Arriving in the real world, Su Yang once again washed his hands in the toilet, and then kept an eye out for the appearance of the teddy bear. This time the teddy bear never appeared. Three hours later, a prompt sounded in Su Yang’s ears. (It’s your turn to find me this time].
He returned to the virtual space, and the teddy bear was no longer there.
Su Yang put his hand on Janet and whispered, “Gotcha.”
Sure enough, a dirty teddy bear appeared in his hand instantly.
‘It seemed like it was true. Janet was considered a human.
‘Or could advanced leaping monsters be possessed as well?
‘Why else wouldn’t teddy bears possess other monsters when there are so many of them in the house?’
After trying out all the teddy bear’s abilities, Su Yang put it in the safe and locked it up. As an ordinary person, Su Yang still hoped that he wouldn’t have to use it… Of course, if he did have to use it, it had to be done in a foolproof way to not expose himself or his powers! However, it was still too early to tell. After all, Su Yang still didn’t know the truth of the matter. With the idea of investigating the truth, Su Yang went out of the virtual space and prepared to continue to investigate Young Master Chen’s name.
He first went to look for Xu Lu and asked if she had heard Wang Shan mention a name surnamed Chen. After thinking for a while, Xu Lu said no.
Xu Lu was in a better mood today, but her eyes were red and puffy. She was still very depressed, so Su Yang consoled her with two more sentences and went on to investigate somewhere else.
Next, Su Yang went to the Dafa Gold Shop, trying to find out traces through Tang Dafa’s memories, but there was no reaction when he used the [Fruit-loving Pen] to locate Tang Dafa.
‘Tang Dafa isn’t in the gold shop?’ Su Yang frowned as he walked into the gold shop, casually looking for a store assistant, asking if Tang Dafa was there. The store assistant said Tang Dafa received a phone call in the middle of today, left in a hurry, and hasn’t come back since. ‘He’s gone?’
Su Yang left Dafa Gold Shop with great unhappiness.
In the next two days, Su Yang took the time to come to Dafa Gold Shop once a day, trying to use the hourglass to check on Tang Dafa’s memories and find out clues on Young Master Chen but Tang Dafa was not in the shop.
Even from the second day onwards, Tang Dafa’s wife who was married to him came to sit in the shop.
Although he came for several days, Su Yang is actually not afraid of exposing himself. After all, with his current relationship with Tang Dafa, him always coming to the door would only make people suspect that he is trying to reconcile. Others wouldn’t think that he came for another purpose. After all, Tang Dafa’s lawyer has already filed a lawsuit in the past few days, asking the court to freeze the account of Qidian E-Commerce and demand Su Yang to return the loan within one week.
Tang Dafa may have secretly used his connections. The court accepted the case so fast that a judge came to approve the case the same day. Su Yang told the legal department to keep stalling, giving him time to deal with these matters.
However, it couldn’t be delayed for long, Tang Dafa did not show up so Su Yang was anxious. However, being anxious was useless so he also went to other places in Shanghai. However, he still couldn’t find Tang Dafa, so this whole matter was in a deadlock.
Back in the community, it was just evening, and the neighborhood’s senior citizens were out walking again. When they were walking, they would chat. So… “Did you guys hear? Sixth Liu has found a job.” “How is that possible! How does a bum like him get a job? Who wants him?” “Why can’t anybody want him? I heard that one of his buddies who was a good guy, gave him a job the other day. He worked as a doorman at some kind of place at Longteng Jiayuan, registering cars. There’s nothing to do but open doors every day. It’s easy and pays well. You know Longteng Jiaoyuan?”
“I know, it’s that, that upscale villa area.”
“Yeah, tsk tsk, who would have thought Sixth Liu could get a job working there.” “Yeah, do you think those rich people aren’t afraid of Sixth Liu causing trouble there?” “Heh, causing trouble? He’s just making trouble in our area, and if he dares to go to those rich and powerful people to make trouble, he would have been bashed up already.”
Su Yang listened with increasing interest. “Huh? Sixth Liu?’
He’d been looking desperately everywhere for an answer but to no avail. Now that he unintentionally obtained a link to his answers, he thought. ‘Sister Zhaodi, you did a good job ‘chopping’ him up the other day!’
