Chapter 1270: Chapter 1270: Extra – Candy House 4 (Additional for Xiao Lizi)

The comic guy listened, nodded thoughtfully, “That’s very possible, this place isn’t big, we’ve searched everywhere we could, but what if that thing is wrapped inside something? There are plenty of sandwich cookies here, and cakes and pies with fillings.”

“Since that’s the case… Shall we start looking?” Yarn Ball murmured, transforming into a large iron ball, dark grey in color, and heavy, crushing and breaking everything in its path.

Bai Youwei also wandered around, trying to find something different.

She walked to the collapsed sofa, picked up half a table leg, the texture was very sticky, the surface chocolate was melting, exposing the chocolate stick inside, with visible teeth marks.

She just took a look at it and her hands were covered with chocolate.

Bai Youwei looked disgusted.

“Did you find anything?”

A voice came from behind, Bai Youwei turned around and saw the tall comic guy standing behind her, watching her warily.

Being scrutinized from above wasn’t a good feeling, Bai Youwei slightly raised her eyebrows, lifted the half table leg in her hand and handed it over.

“A table leg covered in saliva, do you want it?” she said coolly, “Take it.”

She tossed the chocolate table leg in front of the comic guy, it landed with a “whack” and broke into two parts.

Comic Guy: “…”

He silently glanced at Bai Youwei, straightened his back, and turned to search elsewhere.

Bai Youwei scoffed mockingly.

The ball beside her suddenly went crazy and charged forward!

It rolled over the half table leg, then sprang up! With a clang, it flew out the door!

Boom!!!

Intense electric light accompanied by a loud noise struck down! Instantly engulfing the ball!

A few seconds later, the light disappeared, and only a blackened ball remained on the ground.

Though it was originally black, now it seemed charred, like it was still smoking…

“What is it trying to do?” Bai Youwei was dumbfounded, “Did it try to self—dismember—???”

The ball weakly gasped outside the door, “I thought, saliva… should count as something not belonging to the candy house…”

Bai Youwei was speechless and after a long while, slowly nodded, “The way you see it… isn’t wrong exactly.”

But it still got struck by lightning.

So, saliva was not the correct answer.

The Puppet Master said, “Jack! As expected, we are correct! The real things that don’t belong in the candy house are ourselves!”

The Puppet Master kept nodding, “Exactly, exactly, even though saliva doesn’t belong to the candy house, once it’s covered with chocolate, it should be ‘saliva-covered chocolate,’ rather than ‘chocolate-covered saliva.’ In essence, what it took out was chocolate from the candy house~”

The Puppet: “It was wrong~ It was wrong~ Completely wrong!”

The comic guy said, “Your perspective doesn’t make sense. If anything that’s touched by the candy house’s candy or chocolate counts as part of the candy house, then we all have a little syrup on the soles of our feet, don’t we count as candy house things too? So, if we find the true mystery and take it out with syrup on us, would that violate the rules?”

The Puppet hummed, “Why not try it out? Whoever gets out first, gets the reward.”

The comic guy continued to ponder cautiously, slowly saying, “The task given to us is to find something that doesn’t belong to the candy house. Actually, this sentence can be interpreted in two ways.”

First interpretation, we need to find an item hidden in the candy house, its characteristic being that it doesn’t belong to the candy house;

Second interpretation, we need to find an item within the candy house, any item that satisfies the condition of not belonging to the candy house can be used.

Saliva satisfies the second interpretation, but failed to pass, we should start considering the first interpretation.”
