Chapter 419: Let's Hide and Seek
Playing hide and seek, as a hider, it is natural to find a place that is not easy to be discovered, so what is the most hidden place on the huge Nautlerus?
The answer is warehouse!! On the Notlers, no one but the merchants wanted to visit the dusty warehouse!
But hiding in the warehouse also requires skill, and it is necessary that people do not see anything suspicious.
For example, behind a pile of wooden crates in the corner, or in the center of a group of rubber barrels, even behind the warehouse door!
While Nebula stood in the doorway and hesitated slightly, Kevin and several pirates walked into the warehouse before Nebula and hid in the position that Nebula had thought before.
Nebula felt very difficult for a while, playing a game of peek-a-boo is the most taboo to hide in the same place as others, in case you hide well, and the person next to you makes a noise that causes you to be caught, it is really a day/dog
Just when Nebula was anxiously circling, Nebula suddenly remembered a dot-up he had bought before, and at this time, that dot-up was just in the right place to come in handy!
Nebula immediately put on the dot suit, curled up in a ball, and hid in an inconspicuous corner.
Nebula carefully unleashed three wizarding eyes, and looked around from directly above the warehouse
After about a minute, two pirates, wearing green pirate headscarves, walked into the dusty warehouse.
"Captain Marches! Do you think anyone would hide in such a dirty place? A slender young pirate in a stormtrooper uniform asked a large, stubpy-covered middle-aged pirate beside him.
The middle-aged pirate Marches chuckled twice and replied to the slender pirate, "Tantua, you guy is just too disrespectful to detail, don't you see so many fresh footprints under your feet?" Someone must be hiding here! ”
"Captain Marches, do you mean that as long as we follow the footprints, we will be able to find the hiding?" The young pirate Tantua was very happy with the middle-aged pirate and asked.
The middle-aged pirate looked at the young pirate with a smile and nodded to the young pirate.
The young pirate followed the footprints with joy, but after searching for it, the young pirate was very disappointed to find that he had actually returned to the original point!
The middle-aged pirate shook his head, and said to the young pirate as if he hated that iron could not be made of steel: "Tantua, I told you to pay attention to details, you are really stupid and cute!" Can't you see that these footprints are so clear that they look like they were artificial? And judging by this spacing, it should be an illusion made with galloping!! ”
"The one hiding behind the door, you can come out! Can you hide professionally? Don't you notice that your sandal-clad feet peek out from under the crack in the door? The middle-aged pirate knocked twice on the door and said unceremoniously to the door.
The next moment, a middle-aged pirate with a thick beard walked out from behind the door with a curse: "Marches! You guy, can you give me some face? It's only a few minutes into the event that you've been found by you, and it's going to make me lose face! ”
"Humph! Old Henry, I found you out for your own good, any game like you is a round of death, and it will be easy to die early, and you can have a drink and have a good time. Also, the guy hiding in the central oak barrel group, come out too!! You'd better take the initiative, I'm not very good-tempered, and I don't like people who don't admit defeat the most. The middle-aged pirate said a few words to the bearded pirate, and after collecting the bearded pirate's pirate turban, he began to lead his team in search of new prey.
Seeing that no one had come out of the barrel, the middle-aged pirate gestured to the young pirate, who immediately tapped the rightmost barrel twice as the middle-aged pirate commanded.
After a while, a pockmarked young pirate walked out of the barrel with a look of regret.
The middle-aged pirate gave the pock-faced young pirate a violent shudder, spit on the ground and said to the pock-faced youth: "Why are you so brainless? The oak barrel was filled with wine, how could it be placed next to a fishy salted fish? ”
"Then, the guy hiding in the left corner can come out too! I can already see your pink bandana through the gap in the goods!! The middle-aged pirate yelled loudly to the left.
Seconds later, a slightly plump woman wearing a gray headscarf and a pink dress walked out of the left corner with her mouth suffocated.
The middle-aged pirate scratched his head in embarrassment, it turned out to be an adventurer from other professions who had come to participate in the celebration, and he was really burly enough, and he made himself mistaken.
After that, the middle-aged pirate boy carefully searched every suspicious place in the warehouse and found three more people.
"Captain Marches, I found something suspicious!!" The young pirate wearing a green turban pointed to a one-meter-long cardboard box at the bottom of the shelf, and said excitedly to the middle-aged pirate.
When the middle-aged pirate saw what the young pirate was referring to, he immediately slapped him on the head and said to the young pirate, "Tantua, can you think normally?" Can such a small cardboard box hide from people? Even if you're thin and short, you can't hide, right!? Let's go! There should be no one here anymore, let's go find somewhere else!! ”
With that, the middle-aged pirate led the young pirate out of the warehouse and closed the door to the warehouse.
Under the dim light of the warehouse, the cardboard box that the young pirate had pointed to moved slightly.
After a while, the head of a child with pale blue hair protruded from the cardboard box, along with delicate hands and feet.
"Whew~~~ It's really uncomfortable to curl up in this vermilion cardboard box! I almost didn't suffocate!! The blue-haired kid moved out of the bottom of the shelf with the vermilion cardboard box he was wearing, moved his hands and feet, and muttered to himself after a long breath.
Right! Everyone guessed correctly, Nebula is indeed the vermilion cardboard box hidden at the bottom of the shelf, or it can be curled up in the vermilion cardboard box.
The vermilion cardboard box is free to expand and contract according to the wearer's figure, and the length of the vermilion cardboard box is exactly about one meter based on the height of the nebula.
The one-meter-long and wide cardboard box naturally can't fit an adult, not even the thin and short pirate youth just now, but if it's just hiding a child, then squeezing it can still be done.
It's just that since most of the people who participated in the event were tall adults, Nebula, who was a child, was ignored by the middle-aged pirate.
"Nebula, you're pretty good at hiding!! Unlike me, who was so frightened with oak camouflage, I thought I was talking about me when the old pirate said that guy hiding in the oak barrels? However, they searched twice and didn't find me, which means that my oak camouflage skills have reached the point of perfection! Haha, I'm going to try it out in a place with a lot of monsters when I have time, and see if those monsters will find me! Kevin opened the lid of the barrel, leaned on the rim, and smiled at Nebula.
Just as Nebula chuckled and was about to brag to Kevin, Nebula seemed to have discovered something, and hurriedly whispered to Kevin, "Kevin! Hide! Someone's coming!! ”
After saying that, Nebula continued to hide at the bottom of the shelf, curled up in the vermilion cardboard box, as long as he hid obliquely, the hole in the vermilion cardboard box could not be seen from the outside.
Kevin didn't know how Nebula knew someone was coming, but he hid as quickly as he could.
A few seconds later, there was a slamming sound of the door opening, and the door to the warehouse was opened.
This time it was three pirates in green pirate headscarves, and they searched the warehouse over and over again, not letting go of anything suspicious, but only finding an unlucky ghost hiding in a foul pile of salted fish.
After the three pirates walked out of the warehouse, Nebula and Kevin dared to come out and move their bodies a little.
Nebula was already so tired and sweating that he couldn't even straighten his waist, and the thought that there would be batches of pirates who would come to the warehouse to look for him gave Nebula a headache.
No, sooner or later it will be found in such an enclosed space! I can't hide from the first day of junior high school, I can't hide from fifteen, I have to find a way to get out! And after going out, it can't arouse people's suspicion and attention.
"Holy!! He's meowing again!! After Xingyun burst into a foul mouth, he curled up into the vermilion cardboard box again in a panic.
Kevin quickly squatted into the barrel and carefully tightened the lid from the inside.
After a while, the door of the warehouse was opened again, and two men entered the warehouse with a trolley.
This time, however, the visitor was not wearing a green pirate headscarf, but a normal chef's hat.
"Chief, isn't that okay? We all make fried salted fish, will those pirates have an opinion? A young chef touched the back of his head and asked the elderly chef on the side, embarrassed.
The old chef snorted coldly and replied to the young chef, "Hmph! What do they guys dare to say about me, an old man? Think about the time when we pirates used to have a hard time, which time didn't we survive by eating these salted fish, dried shrimp, and dried meat? My old man doesn't know how to do anything other than to cook these dry foods! What do they have to say, let them come to me to talk"
As the two cooks spoke, they picked out several skewers of salted fish from the drying rack, put them in the trolley, and left the warehouse.
Seeing this, Nebula nodded thoughtfully.
A few minutes later, a white-bearded old man wearing a chef's hat and a chef's uniform walked out of the warehouse with a basket of dried shrimp on his back
(The vermilion cardboard box is neither pretty nor handsome, I really don't know what it is used for other than selling moe and peek-a-boo)
