Chapter 25 A Messy Tag
Seeing Lu Ziqiao kneeling and begging for mercy, Zeng Xiaoxian and Martin looked at each other in bewilderment.
Are you that scared?
Zeng Xiaoxian asked, puzzled, "Ziqiao, are you alright? What mushroom? What do you mean you don't taste good?"
Martin said, "Are you out of your mind?"
"Uh... um?"
Lu Ziqiao, who was trembling, paused for a moment and cautiously raised his head.
Upon seeing that it was Martin and Zeng Xiaoxian, Lu Ziqiao breathed a sigh of relief. He patted his chest, still shaken, and said, "Phew~ It was you two! You scared me to death."
Martin asked, "What exactly happened?"
Lu Ziqiao got up from the ground, looked around, and then mysteriously leaned close to the two of them and whispered, "I think I just saw a monster!"
"Monster?"×2
Zeng Xiaoxian looked at Lu Ziqiao with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, and asked uncertainly, "You mean that... the monster from the story of Sun Wukong defeating the White Bone Demon three times?"
Lu Ziqiao said in a ghost story tone, "That's right! What I saw was a mushroom spirit! Its head was a mushroom with red spots, and it had a harmless face with eyes and a mouth. The weirdest thing was that it was wearing clothes."
Martin was taken aback.
This feature looks so much like... Toad?
Zeng Xiaoxian asked curiously, "Uh...it doesn't have a nose?"
Lu Ziqiao described, "I didn't notice that. But its taste in clothing is very average, it feels like the style of an Indian, right, it's very similar to Aladdin."
"You mean...you saw a mushroom that looks a lot like Aladdin?"
Zeng Xiaoxian raised an eyebrow and looked at Lu Ziqiao.
This kid is talking nonsense, could he have just come out of a mental hospital?
"What?! I said I saw a mushroom dressed like Aladdin... not a mushroom that looked like Aladdin. Teacher Zeng, your comprehension is terrible."
After Lu Ziqiao finished complaining, he saw Martin trying to sneak back into the house and grabbed him.
"Hey Martin, I haven't finished yet."
Martin was extremely anxious, but with Lu Ziqiao holding his arm, he could only patiently listen to him continue.
"Next comes the most terrifying part: this mushroom spirit can actually talk!"
"So?"
Zeng Xiaoxian shrugged.
Lu Ziqiao asked in surprise, "Don't you guys find this terrifying?"
"I didn't notice."
"well enough."
Lu Ziqiao continued, "I once read an ancient book that recorded that plants and animals can cultivate themselves into spirits. If a spirit can speak human language and transform into human form, it means that this spirit is a powerful demon with profound cultivation!"
"Gentlemen, this is a powerful demon! It could crush us like an ant!"
Zeng Xiaoxian leaned close to Martin's ear and whispered, "If Ziqiao suddenly attacks someone, you to the left and I to the right, we'll run out together..."
"Huh?" Martin looked at Zeng Xiaoxian in confusion.
Shouldn't we be on the left and the right, working together to subdue him and take him to a mental hospital? What the hell is this about running away?
Lu Ziqiao asked, "What are you two whispering about?"
"Huh? No, nothing, hehehe. By the way, you said the mushroom spirit started talking, what did it say?"
Zeng Xiaoxian gave Martin a look without making a sound, and then made a move to prepare to run away.
"It sounds like they're shouting something like 'horse'..."
Lu Ziqiao's gaze fell on Martin. "Mario?"
"Mario?"
Zeng Xiaoxian also looked at Martin.
Martin is cosplaying Mario!
Martin frowned slightly and quickly asked, "Did he say anything else?"
"I think they also said... said... something cool? Anyway, something about being cool ran away."
"What's so cool about running away?"
Martin fell into deep thought, when suddenly a brilliant idea struck him.
"Cooldown! Cooldown ran away, didn't it?"
"Yeah, yeah, it sounds like it's all about being cool, right? Yeah, right."
Martin slapped his thigh and rushed towards the room.
I opened the door and took a look.
Sure enough, apart from Yuanbao being fast asleep, Toad was nowhere to be found!
"Damn it!"
Martin punched the door.
boom--
The bedroom door was punched straight through.
Lu Ziqiao and Zeng Xiaoxian were stunned.
Hey~
What happened?
"Grass!"
Martin forgot that he had taken the power-up item.
It's not a big deal if the door is broken; we can just buy another one. But if that Coolpad thing really ran away, then we'll be in big trouble!
[Lu Ziqiao: Huh? How did Martin know the Mushroom Spirit was shouting "Cool, right?" And what exactly does "Cool, right?" mean?]
Zeng Xiaoxian raised an eyebrow: Could it be... Martin is also mentally ill?
Downstairs at the Love Apartment building.
While Toad was searching for Martin, Bowser tumbled down the stairs.
"Bridget, Bridget, Bridget, I'm here~"
Coolba hummed a little tune, fidgeting around like a hamster.
The glass bottle rolled forward rapidly.
After a lot of effort, Coolba finally escaped from Love Apartment.
Coolba was sticking out his tongue, practically exhausted.
"I must first break this bottle and return it to its original state before I can go find Princess Brigitte."
"What should I do..."
Cooler looked at the cars weaving through the traffic.
"Gulp~ For Princess Brigitte, I'll fight to the death!"
Coolba gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and rolled the glass bottle toward the middle of the road.
Just as I reached the highway, a car sped past.
Cooler's heart skipped a beat.
"drop--"
A car was driving toward the Cooler at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
"what!"
Just as they were about to collide, Cooler, unable to bear the fear in his heart, dodged ahead of time.
Modern cars are ridiculously big for the Mini Cooper.
If you use too much force, he might turn into a meat pie.
Coolpad hesitated again and again, and finally decided to wait and see.
...
...
Martin stormed out of the door amidst the bewildered gazes of Zeng Xiaoxian and Lu Ziqiao, then hurriedly began searching for Toad in the Love Apartment.
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. Martin searched all afternoon but couldn't find it.
but...
"I still remember you saying home is the only castle~ Keep running along the rice paddy river~"
Martin took out his phone and saw that Zeng Xiaoxian was the caller ID.
"Hello, Teacher Zeng."
Before Martin could finish speaking, Zeng Xiaoxian interrupted him: "Martin! Come here right now! Hurry up!"
"Uh... what happened? Where are you?"
Why does Zeng Xiaoxian's tone sound so secretive?
"I'm downstairs at the apartment building now, hurry up and come over, we'll talk when you get there!"
beep beep...
"What's going on?"
Martin stared at the disconnected phone, completely baffled.
Fearing something might happen, Martin had no choice but to temporarily abandon his search for Toad and run downstairs to the apartment building.
A short while later, Martin arrived at the apartment building. Just as he was about to go inside, a large head suddenly popped out from the bushes.
Martin stared blankly at it.
Isn't this Zeng Xiaoxian?
"Sizzle! Here."
Zeng Xiaoxian cautiously observed his surroundings and waved to Martin repeatedly.
