Chapter 27 Uninvited Guest
After saying goodbye to Chen Wang, Coconut returned to her apartment.
Although it's a property in a mediocre location, its low price has attracted a large number of young people just entering the workforce, which makes her quite comfortable.
At least it feels like a living person.
Her job was to manage several pet stores in Hongcheng. The stores had managers and employees, and she only needed to check the supply of goods and the stores regularly.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they could sit at home and count their money.
Therefore, her apartment was the largest in the entire building, four or five times the size of Chen Wang's. Coupled with her slight obsession with cleanliness, the entire room looked almost like a suite in a luxury hotel.
She sat on the beanbag chair, elegantly crossing her legs, enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
The scratching sound of the cat scratching post, the scurrying of the mouse on its wheel, and the occasional chirping of birds overhead all brought her joy and comfort.
On the wall opposite the sofa, there is a long wooden table, decorated with simple flowers and plants, and a doll sits quietly in the center.
The doll has blonde hair and blue eyes, and its wooden head has an exquisite curve. It wears a tight-fitting black and purple leather bodysuit, which can be put on and taken off entirely by a zipper in the middle. It is her favorite doll since she was a child.
This seemingly beautiful scene is actually quite terrifying to outsiders upon closer inspection.
Because the beautiful doll's eyes were opening and closing repeatedly!
Like a real person scrutinizing the coconuts across from them.
Coconut's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had noticed something amiss with the doll. She leaned her head back on the sofa and spoke lazily:
"Just say what you have to say, little sister."
Upon hearing this, the doll's lips actually began to twitch, and it emitted a sweet, girlish sound that belonged only to human girls.
"It's been several days already, when are you going to take me out to play?"
Coconut replied, "I've been really busy these past few days... Besides, Chestnut, don't I know you? You said you were going out to have fun, but you just wanted to see handsome guys!"
"Hehe," the doll called Chestnut rubbed her hands together, her tone slightly coquettish, "I've already done all this, and I'm just enjoying the view, so why don't you say yes, sister!"
"Okay, okay," Coconut said with a smile, "I'll take you out to play after I change into a nice outfit."
"You keep changing clothes! You just love wearing those tight clothes, even your favorite dolls have to be in leather jackets and pants!" Chestnut said, pointing to herself.
"If you don't dress well, how will handsome guys be attracted to you? How will you get a close look then?"
As she spoke, Coconut stood up and walked toward the wardrobe that was crammed full.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Coconut suddenly paused, a bad premonition rising within her.
She doesn't have many friends, and even fewer people know this address.
She never orders takeout and always eats out; she only occasionally posts delivery requests, like the one Chen Wang accepted last time.
Where could an uninvited guest be?
She walked to the door and asked softly, "Who is it?"
"Check the water meter, open the door." A cold voice came from behind the door.
Looking through the peephole, I saw two burly, bald men, one of whom was wearing sunglasses.
Such a straightforward approach left Coconut somewhat puzzled.
"My water meter is fine, you don't need to bother." Even so, she still refused to open the door.
Who would open the door for two bald guys?
"Then we'll come in."
Just then, a hissing sound came from the doorknob, and Coconut quickly pressed her hand against the peephole.
The bald man in sunglasses outside the door had taken off his sunglasses and was now emitting thin beams of electrons from his eyes!
The door lock is being heated and melted!
"I'm going to call the police!" Coconut panicked when she saw this and was about to take out her phone.
The bald man with the electric eyes suddenly turned his gaze and started flashing his electric eyes at the cat's eyes!
In that instant, Coconut and Baldy stared at each other through the peephole. Then, a bolt of electricity shot through the door, striking Coconut's pale face!
"Sister!" Chestnut shouted anxiously, but she couldn't help in any way; she was just a doll.
"Meow!" The chiral cat in the house immediately bristled, standing next to the coconut that had been sent flying by the electric current, looking in fear at the broken-open door.
"Hmm, what's that smell!" Two bald men had just entered the room when they fanned the air in front of their noses. "Where's that stench coming from?"
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be several Chiral cats on the ground that had lost control of their bladders due to fear.
"This little girl is quite something, raising so many black lumps!"
"Hurry up and take them away. The boss told us to just listen to Aunt Wang!"
The bald man with the electric eyes nodded, put his sunglasses back on, walked up to the coconut, and bent down to examine it.
The electric shock seriously injured Coconut. Her face was burned and left with a bloody hole. Her body was also paralyzed from the shock. She was not completely unconscious, but she was also unable to struggle.
She opened her eyes, looked at the fierce-looking man of unknown origin in front of her, and then glanced at the doll on the table by the wall.
The eyelids twitched, as if conveying some message.
The man in sunglasses reached out and stroked Coconut's face.
"I think I used too much force; I almost disfigured her..." he sighed, then took out a tube of powder from his pocket, sprinkled some on the wound on Coconut's face, pried open her mouth, and poured the rest of the powder in.
Then he grabbed her, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and said to his companion, "Let's go."
The other bald man patted him on the shoulder, muttering something, and then the two of them, along with the paralyzed Coconut, disappeared from the spot!
The heavy clatter of leather shoes could still be heard in the stairwell, but they were nowhere to be seen anymore.
The doll Chestnut, peeking through the crack in the door, witnessed this horrific scene, her eyes already blurred with tears.
She instinctively reached out to wipe it, but felt nothing. There were no tears on the wooden doll's face, and even its eyes looked the same, with no change except for the movement of the pupils and passive blinking.
She felt utterly helpless. Without her sister, wouldn't she be stuck here forever, lost in thought?
If I can't save my sister, I might as well go to the world of the dead with her. Why am I stuck here like this, trapped in a doll that can't do anything...
I have no choice, sister.
So, this time it's your turn to be the doll.
I'm sure you have a better idea than I do. I'll take good care of myself after I wake up and try to contact you again...
A strong sense of purpose filled Chestnut's heart, and her repeated calls finally brought about change.
The doll gradually closed its eyes until it became lifeless, just an ordinary toy.
Ugh!
Suddenly, it opened its eyes again! Stretching out its hands, looking at its tiny body and the chaotic scene of the surrounding animals, the doll seemed to finally understand what had happened.
She opened her mouth, but what came out was a calm and mature voice, unlike the sweet and saccharine one she had used before.
"Chestnut, I'll get you out!"
However, Coconut had not been in control of this body for too long. Faced with a body where she could only exert force through her arms, she mustered all her strength to support herself and try to move forward.
But in the next second, it lost its balance and fell to the ground.
