Chapter 36 Restoring the Doll

What materials can restore an item to its original state?

Xiang Yu was slightly taken aback. This godforsaken place actually had something like this hidden inside?

His gaze followed the pop-up window and fell once again on the dolls on the shelf.

...No, this is it.

A thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and he suddenly remembered a sentence in that diary.

So the secret of these two items was hidden inside the trade center.

Could this seemingly random statement be a reminder that ghosts can be resurrected?

Without hesitation, Xiang Yu suddenly pulled out several packets of coffee powder from his pocket and poured them directly into his mouth, looking as if he were addicted to coffee.

Everyone around, except An Ling, was startled and couldn't guess what Xiang Yu was up to.

After a moment, Xiang Yu clearly felt a burning sensation rising from his stomach, traveling up his bloodstream to the top of his head. He knew the caffeine was starting to take effect, so he closed his eyes, entered a state of flow, and asked a crucial question:

"If the doll ghost's true form is repaired, will it come back to life?"

"Yes……"

That's right. So, as long as the doll ghost gets a new body, it can be resurrected.

Thinking about it that way, ghosts really can't die...

"But what's the point of reviving it? I can't control it. Am I supposed to summon it and have it team up with the mall ghost for a mixed doubles attack?"

Even after obtaining this crucial intelligence, he still found it uninteresting.

The inventory has a suppressive effect on supernatural entities; as long as something is placed in the inventory, the ghost's abilities will not manifest.

"Oh?"

This is quite interesting. He immediately thought of countless ways to use his inventory in combat.

So Xiang Yu turned to the man in paper clothes beside him and said, "I need to go to the toy store to get something. You have to do me a favor."

"Huh? Help? Can I help?" The man in the paper clothes was a little confused.

"Of course... Oh, right, Fatty, don't just stand there watching, you have to help too," Xiang Yu shouted to the fat boss.

"Huh?" The fat boss's face fell.

"You two, get off the escalator and head towards the toy store. See that stall selling dolls? I need a doll." Xiang Yu pointed to the stall not far away.

To be honest, the stall wasn't far from the escalator. An average adult, if they sprinted forward with all their might, would reach it in five or six seconds.

The problem is that in between are those bumper hearses that are driving recklessly.

This thing can circle three layers in a few seconds, and a mere graze can cause injury or death. Even if a round trip to a toy store only takes ten seconds, no one is willing to risk being hit and killed.

"That won't do. I'm fat and slow. I'll get hit and killed as soon as I go out!" The fat boss refused repeatedly, not wanting to take any risks.

"Didn't I just lay out the three rules? If you want to live, you have to obey my orders." Xiang Yu frowned.

"But... I really can't do it!" The fat boss kept making excuses; he absolutely couldn't allow himself to take any risks.

"Should I go?" Anling said hesitantly.

"No need, you really can't do that." Xiang Yu refused An Ling.

Just as the stalemate was at hand, the paper-clothed man who had been rescued from the brink of defeat suddenly revealed a resolute look in his eyes after a tumultuous internal struggle.

He gritted his teeth and charged out.

Shredded paper flew up behind him.

Just as he rushed out of the escalator and had only run a few meters, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder, as if someone had kicked him hard from behind.

He staggered, clutching his shoulder, and looked up, still shaken.

To be precise, it was hovering in the air.

Xiang Yu knew, of course, that if those two people just rushed straight over, they would be dead for sure. Their speed was simply not fast enough to dodge the bumper cars—not even Xiang Yu himself could.

But his purpose was not to get these two to take risks for him, but simply to use them as a stepping stone.

Using the push he took from the man in the paper clothes' shoulder, he leaped up from a height of about 1.5 meters, soaring out like an arrow, skimming along the ceiling. This way, he could bypass the dangerous area teeming with bumper cars and head straight for the toy store.

It also allows you to see whether these two people actually take your words seriously.

Looking at it now, the effect is actually quite good.

As for why Anling is not used, firstly, Anling does not require testing, and secondly, Anling is not tall enough.

"Go back up the escalator, I can handle the rest myself." Xiang Yu landed lightly in the toy store at the other end and waved to the paper-clothed man not far away.

The man in the paper clothes was taken aback, then quickly returned to the escalator as if he had been granted a pardon.

After landing, Xiangyu immediately went into the toy store and picked up a doll at random.

He looked at the doll in his hand and compared it with the broken doll in his memory, confirming that it was the same model as the one he remembered.

So he quickly took out the doll that had been torn to pieces from his inventory and then fell into deep thought.

What should we do?

There are materials nearby that can repair this item...

In other words, I need to fix this myself?

Xiang Yu was speechless; it turned out he had to be a tailor too.

Fortunately, he does know a little about sewing, though his skill level isn't high; he can only use it to mend clothes.

As a store specializing in selling plush toys and dolls, there was indeed something familiar on the counter.

Danish Crown Cookies Tin Box!

He opened the tin box, and sure enough, it didn't contain cookies, but needles and thread!

This box has finally found the right use!

It seems this shop also offers doll repair services, otherwise they wouldn't have this cookie box.

Xiang Yu took out a needle, thread, and scissors and began to mend the torn doll, stitch by stitch. Where he couldn't mend it, he simply cut a piece from the new doll and used it to patch the old doll's remains.

After working on patching things up like this for almost half an hour, he finally managed to sew the doll almost completely. Xiang Yu let out a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He stood up, stretched, as if he had just accomplished something remarkable, and was about to walk out of the store.

But just as my toes were about to step out of the toy store...

Xiang Yu froze abruptly.

What the hell did I just do? Why am I in this toy store?

Damn it, I forgot!

It's the doll's ability!

He turned around abruptly and saw the mended doll seemingly crawling slowly on the ground, as if preparing to run away.

Unfortunately, Xiang Yu's sewing skills were really bad. The centipede-like stitches on the doll's body didn't allow it to move at all; it could only wriggle like a maggot.

"You're still activating your ability even in this state?" Xiang Yu laughed angrily. He grabbed the doll, placed it against his chest, and then said.

"Add to inventory".

The doll vanished in an instant, as if it had never existed.

And the memory of what just happened is still there.

Take the doll out of your inventory.

The doll reappeared in her hands.

Xiang Yu roughly understood the effect of the inventory: if the doll is taken out of the inventory, then as soon as the gaze is taken away from the doll, the memory of that time will be lost.

However, if you put the doll in your inventory, you can remember what just happened even if you look away.

In other words, one can rely on this characteristic to control a portion of the doll's power.

"In that case, I've come up with a way to deal with these bumper cars."

Xiang Yu took the doll out of the inventory and walked out of the toy store.
