Chapter 64: Freezer (2/2)

However, Chu Fu couldn’t be counted on, so Bai Yan naturally wanted to bring Cai Yu to find her dear mother.

‘The daughter is already impatient and wanted to see her mother badly, so don’t you dare stand in the way of a mother-daughter reunion.’

Seeing that Cai Yu wasn’t letting go of Chu Fu’s clothes, Bai Yan whispered that they’ll go in and investigate. Cai Yu hesitated a bit but finally let go of her hold on Chu Fu’s clothes, taking small quick steps as she ran behind Bai Yan going in.

Seeing this scene in front of her, Chu Fu clenched her teeth and also went inside.

She couldn’t just stand there and watch this small child die. If she watched her attentively, maybe she could save her down the road.

Of course, Chu Fu was also scared, but after going through numerous levels, she felt that the app’s games weren’t that difficult. Although her previous games were all dangerous, she managed to overcome them, so maybe during this level, she could also turn peril into safety.

…

After entering the mall, Bai Yan first found the floorplan, keeping in mind the mall’s arrangements.

After he was finished looking at the floor plan, he brought Cai Yu over to the escalator, bringing them to the floor below.

The supermarket was located below the first floor.

And when they arrived there, Bai Yan pondered for a bit and let go of Cai Yu’s hand.

He let Cai Yu lead the way, falling behind her by two steps, to avoid implicating an innocent bystander if the female ghost will send her daughter on a journey.

After walking for a while, Cai Yu had soon led them to the refrigerated area.

She stood at the place where she grabbed some yogurt yesterday, pointing to it and saying, “This is where I discovered that mommy was missing. After I got the yogurt, I looked back and found out that mommy had suddenly disappeared!”

Bai Yan was standing in the middle of the aisle, walking away from the refrigerated section to avoid any concealed ghosts in the refrigerators and being killed.

He swept a glance across the open refrigerators, they featured every kind of cheeses, drinks, and yogurts. Among the densely packed goods on the shelves, he still didn’t see even half of a ghost’s shadow.

“Cai Yu was standing here, so her mom must have encountered the tragedy somewhere else.”

Along the way, Bai Yan carefully avoided the chilled items. It could be said that he was especially prudent.

He looked at Chu Fu, who was following him from behind, immediately becoming speechless——

Without any notice, Chu Fu was pushing a shopping cart and inside it was a large pile of snacks. Not to mention, they were conducting an investigation right now. This was simply not the time to do some grocery shopping. And, most importantly, do you have money inside the game?

As it turned out, Chu Fu truly had money, or else she wouldn’t have grabbed a bunch of items.

Bai Yan had nothing left to say to this girl. He had already decided in the beginning to play this level as if it were a single-player game. Even with or without her, it would still be the same.

What made him feel annoyed was that even if she was busy pushing the cart, Chu Fu also didn’t forget Cai Yu.

Chu Fu constantly reminded Cai Yu to not go near the fridges, causing trouble for his ongoing investigation.

Fortunately, Cai Yu was a little girl who wholeheartedly wanted to find her missing mother.

With two quiet yet deceit-filled words from Bai Yan, Cai Yu would act according to his wishes.

The refrigerators seemed nothing out of the ordinary, and Cai Yu patiently stood in front of one of the fridges for a long time, not finding anything out.

So, Bai Yan said, “Do you know where your mom was standing before she disappeared? Could you bring us there to look?”

Cai Yu nodded her small head, taking strides with her short legs and running towards the front of a big freezer.

Unlike the other refrigerators they saw, this freezer was closed off, containing ice cream and other frozen treats inside.

Seeing this freezer, Cai Yu suddenly thought of something. She remembered that at that time, she also wanted to eat ice cream, so her mom was waiting for her here while choosing what ice cream she wanted.

As she recalled this, Cai Yu immediately told Bai Yan about this.

Bai Yan thought about this for a while and then walked in front of the freezer, looking inside through the thick glass.

All kinds of frozen treats and ice cream were piled up inside the storage unit, making it more difficult to know what was inside.

However, this was the real place where Cai Yu’s mom went missing, so he couldn’t be too cautious.

Just now, Bai Yan wanted to ask Cai Yu to open the freezer, but he saw Chu Fu moving forward, crowding beside Cai Yu, and opening the freezer.
