Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

Luckily, we met someone who was afraid of mice, otherwise the white mouse would have died without us even knowing how.

But just as we appeared at the door, a voice came from inside…

We never expected that there was danger waiting for us at the door. So we looked towards the door with great curiosity.

Upon seeing this, all my previous worries vanished, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud. You can't blame me for laughing now.

Not far from the entrance, there was a mineral water bottle with a small gray mouse tied up to it. The funniest thing was that there was a note hanging on it, making it look extremely funny.

"Help!" the little gray mouse cried out, looking rather embarrassed. It probably recognized us, and since it hadn't been very nice to us before, it sounded a bit guilty.

"Should we save him?" the white mouse asked, glancing at the little gray mouse.

"It's up to you. Even if someone has to save you, it's your job. How am I supposed to save you?" I said to Xiaobai.

"Oh, I understand." After hearing my words, the white mouse quickly crawled towards the gray mouse.

As expected of a mouse, the rope snapped in no time under the little white mouse's mouth. The rescued little gray mouse said gratefully, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. We are the same kind and should help each other," the white mouse said sincerely.

These words undoubtedly hurt the little gray mouse even more. Think about it, the little gray mouse didn't help us before, and now we've helped him and are acting all high and mighty. Who would feel good about that?

So the little gray mouse lowered its head in shame, not knowing what to say. In fact, it wouldn't be appropriate to say anything now.

Seeing how awkward the situation was, I knew that if we didn't leave soon, things would only get more awkward. So I said to the white mouse, "Let's go. Your friend is waiting for us to rescue him. Hurry up and go."

The little mouse immediately understood what I said and said, "Oh, right, we need to hurry up and go."

After walking only a few steps, he suddenly turned around as if he remembered something and said, "Oh, right, you should go back quickly, it's too dangerous outside."

Faced with the white mouse's comforting words, the little gray mouse was so moved that it almost cried, but it didn't cry. It held back its tears and nodded.

Then she turned and left, but I saw a hint of tears in her eyes; she seemed genuinely moved.

After the little gray mouse left, we hurried towards Shop No. 9. How could we exchange the cheese we had worked so hard to steal for important information?

When we arrived at shop number nine, it was still the same place, the only difference was that because of the sun's deviation, the alley was now unusually dark.

Like a secluded alleyway favored by murderers, I unconsciously felt a chill.

The main fear is...

We cautiously walked towards the wall, but before we even got there, or even knocked on it a few times, a small hole appeared in the wall, and a small red head popped out.

Before we could even speak, the little red mouse said, "Well? Did you find the cheese I wanted?"

The white mouse shifted its body, showing the cheese on its body, and then said, "Found it. Now can you tell us the news?"

The red mouse inside glanced greedily at the cheese on the white mouse and said eagerly, "Ah, it's cheese, it really is cheese, my favorite cheese!"

After saying that, it crawled out. Holy crap, it crawled out of such a small hole! Is this rat born with the ability to shrink itself? That's amazing!

After climbing out, it rushed towards the cheese on the white mouse.

I thought to myself, "This is outright robbery! How can I accept this?" So I anxiously said to the white mouse, "Quickly stop that mouse! He's trying to steal it!"

Upon hearing my words, the white mouse immediately faced the red mouse head-on, so that it wouldn't let the red mouse grab its cheese.

Then, very anxiously, he said, "We brought the cheese, but where's the information we need?"

But the red mouse ignored the white mouse's words and kept its eyes fixed on the cheese on the white mouse, saying, "Let me check the cheese first, just in case it's not what I want."

What the hell is this? Do we need to inspect food? What if someone eats it, then wipes their mouth and denies it? Who are we supposed to complain to?

This is a scam! We absolutely cannot agree to this. Luckily, the lab rat wasn't stupid and immediately said, "No way, how could this food be fake? Tell us first."

It seems the lab rat knew that if its friend was captured, it should have known first. If it had just stupidly let itself be eaten, where would it have found another one?

"Why are you all so annoying? It's just intelligence, right? I'll tell you, your friend has been captured and taken to the medicinal plant garden," the red mouse said irritably, its eyes still fixed on the cheese.

"Why? What are we going to the botanical garden for?" the little mouse asked anxiously.

"How would I know? I only told you where they were taken. As for what they were doing there, how would I know?" the red rat cried out, quite annoyed, as if its answer had been questioned.

Upon hearing this answer, the white mouse wanted to say something more, but for a moment it didn't know what to say, and just lowered its head in a very embarrassed manner.

"I've given you the information you wanted. Can I have the cheese now?" the red mouse cried anxiously.

"Give him the cheese for 12 cents." The white mouse's voice carried a hint of annoyance.

Although I was curious about why the mouse's voice sounded so strange, I still helped it untie the rope binding the cheese.

Upon seeing the cheese, the red mouse immediately rushed over and began to devour it frantically, exclaiming how delicious it was, as if it hadn't tasted such delicious cheese in centuries.

I was speechless when I saw it for a year. This red rat used to act so high and mighty, how come it is so greedy now?

And how credible is what this rat says? What if it's fake news? It's a waste of time, but more importantly, what if they get killed if we arrive too late?

The red mouse devoured the cheese we had painstakingly found in just a few bites, and then, as it went inside, it said to us, "Remember to come find me if you encounter any more difficulties next time."
