Chapter 157: Chapter 143 Petswtf....

Following Li Cheng, who was cosplaying as a pea shooter, Andre and Bai Lang felt like thunder was rolling in their heads, feeling an intense cringe and tightness.

They could tell that Ant was using the rule "customers can eat food," to circumvent the restriction "food turns to ash after leaving the food store."

But how did he manage that? Could it be that he had specifically learned the Gastronomic King Skill, appearing human on the outside but essentially being Kirby?

From a normal human’s perspective, this is impossible, but Li Cheng had Gray Rain.

Just now, when he jumped to the back of the stage, he summoned Gray Rain, transformed her into a liquid metal form, and ate a portion of the liquid metal himself.

Unlike the liquid metal robots in real-world artistic works, like Terminator T-1000, T-X, T-3000, Gray Rain doesn’t have a central processor—rather, every drop of her liquid metal body possesses information processing, data storage, and program execution capabilities.

She can split into many pieces like slime, with all the clones sharing a collective consciousness; they can also recombine to form herself.

Unfortunately, the computing power of Gray Rain’s clones is directly proportional to the volume of the clones.

The smaller the clone, the smaller the "brain capacity."

Therefore, at this stage, it is impossible to split into eighteen selves, leaving a mini Gray Rain to do homework while the other seventeen mini Gray Rains indulge in reckless enjoyment.

She has to grudgingly let the original body continue doing homework.

Truly a joyous occasion, truly joyous.

Back to the main point, Li Cheng ate a portion of the liquid metal, causing it to adhere to the inner wall of his stomach.

As he swallowed a large number of rice balls, the liquid metal in his stomach compressed the rice balls physically as per a preset program, to be regurgitated when needed, thus achieving the cosplay effect of a pea shooter.

But in the eyes of Andre and Bai Lang, this scene appeared rather horrifying.

"This way."

Leading the way, Li Cheng burst out of the encirclement; the rice balls were just used up, and he shot a hook claw towards a street lamp, swinging in an arc in the air, arriving in front of a tunnel entrance.

This Disneyland has quite a complex tunnel structure underground. The tunnels are interconnected, brightly lit, embedded with numerous pipelines delivering water and electricity to the whole park. Besides, they also contain employee changing rooms, break rooms, and the staff can use vehicles or walk in the tunnels, arriving at any part of the park unseen by visitors.

Bai Lang hesitated slightly. The tunnel was underground, and if surrounded by an army of dolls, there would be no place to escape.

But with the air-raid sirens still blaring, seeing Ant rush into the tunnel first, Bai Lang also bit the bullet and followed.

With the Multi-threaded Brain Domain Method activated, Li Cheng glanced and memorized the tunnel map on the wall. He swiftly dealt with a few scattered dolls in the tunnel and headed straight for the employee break room. With an Elbow Strike, he broke open the locked door and started rummaging quickly.

"What are you looking for?" Bai Lang couldn’t help asking.

"Employee guide."

Li Cheng was turning everything upside down and said, "The dolls we killed earlier on the surface had remnants of human food like hot dogs and sandwiches in their systems. All non-human dolls were transformed from humans, including park staff and visiting tourists.

The visitor guidelines recorded various taboos and rules, which means the park operators knew full well about the abnormalities within the park itself.

To ensure the amusement park continues to operate, they would inevitably provide their employees with specialized training, distribute employee handbooks, or something like employee codes of conduct..."

As he was speaking, Li Cheng pushed over a pile of clutter, and indeed, on the wall behind the clutter, he saw a blue sign with white lettering.

Compared to the visitor’s code of conduct, the employee’s code of conduct is much shorter, especially the last four items.

"Putting on a costume allows you to obtain temporary employee status and will not be attacked by costumes with no eye openings."

Bai Lang glanced around the corner of the room, where several sets of costumes were piled in a cardboard box. Next to the box, there was a large safe, presumably the safe mentioned in rule five for storing princess costumes.

"This rule must have been set up for situations like this, where if you’re really trapped by an army of costumes, you can put on a costume and become an employee. But whether the visitor’s card is still useful after becoming an employee, that’s uncertain."

Li Cheng’s attention, however, was mainly focused on the rules concerning "princesses." He quickly thought, under the shocked and astonished gazes of Bai Lang and Andre, he extended two fingers, pulling out a cluster of silver slime from his mouth.

The silver slime bounced back and forth in Li Cheng’s hand, emitting sharp explosions, "Hum hum ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Bai Lang looked terrified, and even the usually calm Andre couldn’t help but ask, "What is this??"

"Uh, my pet."

Li Cheng feigned calmness, lifting the silver slime and placing it on the keyhole of the safe.

"Pet? My tender daddy!"

The silver slime, or rather, Gray Rain’s clone, shrieked. Its brain capacity and intelligence had drastically declined, only repeating some deeply impressionable phrases from its memory bank, "Amynos, dare to challenge me? Ever seen what’s called a cheater’s move? I’ll make you fly!"

"Could you keep it down?" Li Cheng asked, lowering his voice and twitching the corner of his eye.

However, the silver slime became more excited, bouncing and speaking melodramatically, "Quiet? Want to gag me? Not letting me speak, right? I intended to stay quiet, but what if I’m the only one missing? Protect, the last issue, I dared to say a lot, typed a lot but ended up deleting, we’re all trying hard to live..."

Gray Rain’s clone’s embarrassing behavior was truly cringeworthy. Li Cheng cleared his throat, threatening, "Not doing your homework and surfing the internet all day, huh? If you don’t behave, I’ll confiscate your phone after we go back."

Faced with the threat, Gray Rain’s clone finally understood, muttering, "I’ve never been so insulted in my life, never been scolded from childhood to now,"

As it obediently transformed into the shape of a key and picked the lock of the safe.
