Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

Chapter 173 Magnet

Finally, I got off that damn ambulance, but to rescue Dafu who was trapped inside, I followed the doctor to a place that looked like a laboratory.

With my current strength, I cannot save Dafu, so I must first rescue the white mouse before I can save Dafu.

However, this white mouse needs pain to stimulate it before it can jump high and escape the box that confines it.

Although I'm very curious about why this white mouse would have such a bizarre request, the current situation is that I really can't save Dafu if I don't save the white mouse.

So I flew towards the desk, but it was a mess, and it took me a long time to find the pin.

I rushed towards the pin, trying to pick it up, but why was it so heavy? I felt incredibly weak.

It's like being in the gym and trying to lift something I can't lift at all. Holy crap, have I been lacking in exercise lately? Why is it so difficult?

I should be able to lift things that feel about the same weight as this pin before without this much difficulty. Why is it so hard now?

I looked at the pin with great confusion, and then I realized what a stupid mistake I had made. I hadn't noticed that there was a magnet underneath the pin.

You're probably familiar with magnets, right? Generally, used magnets are used to attract small things like snails and needles, and they're usually used in speakers.

I don't know how this magnet got here. Since it's stuck, there's nothing I can do. I'll see if I can find something else to replace it, or if I have any other pins.

After searching the table, I was disappointed to find nothing, except for that damned pin.

What should I do? If I can't find the thumbtack, I can't save the little mouse; if I can't save the little mouse, I can't save Dafu; and if I can't save Dafu, I can't abandon her and continue on my way.

So in the end, we still have to find the pin. Since we can't find it, we can only try to find the pin on the magnet.

I tried again to move the pin on the magnet with all my might, but to my disappointment, it still wouldn't budge.

Although I didn't manage to lift it, I did manage to move the pin a little to one side. Seeing that it had even a small effect, I immediately perked up.

They started frantically moving to one side, and surprisingly, the method actually worked; they slowly moved to one side.

Although the movement rate wasn't very high, at least I was moving, but after only a few minutes I was too tired to move anymore.

I was so tired. Even if I worked a whole day carrying bricks at a construction site, I wouldn't feel this tired. I lay down on the magnet to rest, panting.

"Hey, are you done yet? Why is it taking so long?" the little white mouse on the other end called out anxiously.

"No, the pin is stuck on the magnet, I can't lift it. I'm still slowly moving it, it'll be fine in a bit," I said, exhausted, as I lay on the magnet.

Now I understand that being a hero is not only a technical job, but also a physically demanding one. It seems I'm definitely not unsuitable to be a hero.

After resting for a while, I started frantically moving the pin that was stuck to the magnet again. After more than ten minutes of hard work, I finally got close to the edge of the magnet.

As I frantically tried to move the pin, I couldn't help but think of an old Stephen Chow movie called Forbidden City Cop or something. It was about how Stephen Chow had a magnet as a secret weapon, and the suction power in it was incredible. I didn't believe it before, that a magnet could be that strong.

Now I believe it: if you haven't encountered a strong magnet, it's because you haven't encountered a truly good one. Anyway, I don't know how good Stephen Chow's magnet is, but the strength of this magnet I have is truly amazing, it's incredibly powerful.

Why doesn't a counterfeit or substandard magnet appear at this time? Why is it so authentic now?

I almost cried while sitting on the magnet. It really is true what they say: "I'm crying inside, but I can't say it."

Finally, perseverance paid off, and the dawn of hope finally appeared before my eyes. I finally managed to pull that damn pin to the side of the magnet. Just one last step and I could pull it out.

After resting for a while, I finally managed to pull that damn pin out. But because I was used to using so much force, I pulled hard on the side and it swung away to the side.

Instantly, I flung the pin to the side. With that flick, I felt the whole world go silent. If it disappeared after I flung it away, how could I save Dafu?

Although I'm exhausted, I can't just stand by and watch myself lose the pin I finally found.

So I hurriedly chased after the pin, but I have to say my luck is terrible, because I actually managed to throw it to the ground and it rolled into the gap under the cabinet.

Oh my god, am I really that unlucky? How did I end up inside? Is there any danger in there?

Feeling quite annoyed, I flew into the crevice below. Inside, it was pitch black and there was nothing there. Fortunately, there was no danger as I had imagined, nor any house bugs like cockroaches.

So I rushed toward the pin, picked it up, and tried to leave, but I had clearly overestimated my current strength.

Because I had been moving the pin with a lot of force, and then I used too much force at the end, I now feel a bit weak.

I couldn't lift that big pin for a while, so I had to rest for a bit first.

Now that I've calmed down, I realize how terrifyingly quiet it is. I want to leave as soon as possible; the darkness and silence here are making me feel terrible.

I felt like my life was in danger if I stayed here any longer; it was an instinctive reaction that came from experiencing so many dangers.

Just like a wild beast in the wilderness constantly being hunted, it feels a sense of panic when danger approaches.

And that's how I feel right now.

So after I regained some strength, I quickly picked up the pin and flew outside.

I felt much better after I came out. I always felt like there was something watching me inside, but now that I'm out, that feeling of being watched has gradually disappeared.

Clutching the pin, I hurriedly flew towards the box containing the white mouse.
