Looking at that conspicuous big blue head in the crowd, everyone was a bit confused. How did Doraemon end up in this mall?
And looking at him, he seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit?
"Doraemon! I want to take a photo with you too! I have freshly bought Dorayaki here!"
"Hey you in front, I came first! Go queue up!"
"You two stand aside! I just turned my head for a second and you took my spot. Are you not ashamed?"
"Not at all."
"..."
Hearing what these two girls dressed in cartoon clothes said, the surrounding people looked with some pity at the boy whose spot had been snatched.
They had seen with their own eyes that those two girls had suddenly cut in front of him, and now they were occupying that spot as if it were only right.
Looking at the boy's age, he was probably just a college student, right?
Although they knew the boy was in the right, the crowd did not intend to intervene. Anyway, these three people were all ahead of them; who went first or last made no difference.
Seeing this scene that could usually only be seen on TV, Lin Tian and the others did not intervene either. They were also somewhat curious about what that boy would do. Would he resolutely refuse to retreat, or would he give way just like that?
Just as the boy was preparing to say something, the previous person had already finished taking photos with Doraemon, and it was the next person's turn.
One of the girls wearing cartoon clothing immediately walked up, preparing to take a picture with Doraemon.
But before she could say anything, Doraemon saw Lin Tian and the others. First, he said sorry to the girl, and then he walked towards Lin Tian's group.
The moment before leaving the crowd, he conveniently took that boy's phone. Under the boy's bewildered expression, he took a photo and then returned the phone with an apologetic look, expressing his apology for the excessive behavior of taking his phone to take a photo without consent.
Under the confused gazes of the crowd, Doraemon ran towards a team consisting of one man and many women.
And at this moment, the crowd discovered that, unknown to them, so many cosplay characters had suddenly appeared behind them.
Seeing those two-dimensional characters with extremely high degrees of reduction, the crowd immediately shifted their attention from Doraemon to the others.
"Hey! That is Erina Nakiri, right? That long blonde hair, and that arrogant look, hiss..., I really want to be stepped on by her and called trash!"
"It's Xing! It's actually Xing! And that trash can decoration on her head, it looks exactly the same as in Honkai: Star Rail!"
"The Doraemon we saw just now could be said to be a realistic robotic doll, and maybe it was possessed by some performance-type supernatural entity, but these ones we see now, this is already an effect that technology cannot achieve, right? Even if it's a supernatural entity, how could it possess so many at once?"
"I can actually see everyone from the Butterfly Mansion, only that Mitsuri Kanroji is mixed in, which seems a bit inharmonious."
"The possibility of them being real people is minimal. First of all, they are just imagined characters. And look at the person next to Shinobu Kocho, isn't that her sister Kanae Kocho? She is a character who went offline a long time ago."
"Of course we know that, but aren't you excited that so many two-dimensional girls who look exactly like real people appeared in front of you? Then why did you come here to queue up to take a photo with that Doraemon who might be an artificial intelligence?"
"I thought I was lining up for the toilet, how would I know?"
"So envious! Who on earth is that man? How can he stand inside that large pile of beautiful two-dimensional girls? And he isn't dressed up as any character, looking completely out of place."
"By the way, can we go up and ask for autographs? Maybe it's some famous cosplayer who has new works? If we get an autograph, we'd have earned big!"
"Do you dare to go up? This group of people doesn't look simple. Just those character costumes that fit perfectly aren't cheap. If you dirty them, hehe, your next life will be miserable."
"Seeing that you guys don't seem to believe it much, look over there. Do you see the second girl standing on that man's right hand side?"
Hearing what this well-dressed person said, the crowd that was originally a bit restless also stopped their footsteps and looked at the person he pointed to.
This look was startling. Some people who liked watching the news had their pupils shrink violently, and then they looked at that well-dressed man with gratitude. Obviously, they knew that girl's identity.
"Seen it, right? That is the eldest daughter of Liu Yantian, the Chairman of the country's most famous group, the Liu Group—Liu Yueyan."
"If there is anyone who doesn't understand what I mean, then go online and check it yourself. Actually, just watching CCTV News is enough. The country has currently clearly expressed cooperation with the Liu Group. Everyone should understand the gold content of this information, right?"
After speaking, that well-dressed man did not care whether the crowd understood or not. He turned around directly planning to leave. Anyway, he had already taken a group photo with Doraemon. There was simply no need to take a risk to obtain something that looked like it had ridiculously high gold content, but the danger was almost no less than singling out a city-destroying level supernatural entity.
After that well-dressed man left, some people left one after another. These were all people with self-awareness. They knew that continuing to stay here would not bring any benefits, and might even bring endless future troubles.
But the world never lacks people with a screw loose in their brains. There were just one or two people who believed that wealth is found in danger. Since even the eldest miss of the Liu Group was in there, then perhaps the identities of the others were even more outrageous. If they got everyone's autographs, or even took photos, wouldn't they make a huge profit!
Just when some people wanted to take action, suddenly a puff of smoke floated over and took away everyone who was still remaining in place.
Lin Tian and the others did not care about what happened here. They had long expected that such a situation might happen, so Lin Tian had already set up a barrier. As long as he did not allow it, it would be impossible for another person to enter this space, unless this person's strength was stronger than his.
"Doraemon, why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to buy this world's unique Sweet Fragrance Great Snow Mountain Dorayaki?"
Liu Yueyan looked at Doraemon with some confusion. Could it be he didn't want that kind of limited edition Dorayaki anymore?
That was something available only once a week, and limited to the first 50 people. Today only 48 people had purchased it. According to the ability of Doraemon's gadgets, it was definitely possible to buy it.
"Hmm, about this, actually when I came to the mall I wanted to buy it, but the people of this world seem to like me very much, so I was surrounded by them. And as long as I took a photo with them, I could have Dorayaki to eat, so..."
As Doraemon spoke, he took out those Dorayaki given to him by the fans, among which there happened to be that limited edition Dorayaki.
"Eh! Someone was actually willing to exchange this kind of Dorayaki for a photo opportunity! Did that person buy it not to eat?"
"No, actually it was when I was drooling over this Dorayaki, I was discovered by that person. Then that gentleman said his daughter liked me very much, so I helped him record a video saying hello to his daughter, and also signed an autograph for him, so he gave it to me."
"Oh, so that's how it is. It seems your popularity is really high, Doraemon. I'm so envious."
