I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today - Chapter 377: 377: Are You Alright?
Chapter 377: 377: Are You Alright?
It seemed as if time had come to a halt.
Two to three seconds later, bewilderment appeared in his eyes, as if suddenly roused from a dream. He then quickly got up and strode towards her!
Upon reaching her, his body stiffened a bit. He withdrew the arm he was about to extend, lightly coughed to suppress his emotions, and asked Bai Youwei, “Are you okay?”
Bai Youwei opened her mouth, suddenly feeling at a loss for words.
Okay?
Yes, having finally escaped, they were okay now. But seeing Zhu Shu’s teary eyes and Yu Yaqing’s body covered in scars, and thinking about those who had died…
How could she possibly say the words, “I’m okay”?
During the silence, she was suddenly embraced.
Startled for a moment, her cheek was already resting on his chest. She heard him whisper, “As long as you’re okay.”
The hoarse voice echoed in his chest and reached her ears, warm.
She couldn’t help blushing a bit, muttering, “What do you mean, okay… Don’t you see we’re all hurt?”
Shen Mo loosened his hold on her slightly and glanced at Zhu Shu and Yu Yaqing.
“I’ll help you all get out. After you triggered game 24, this area was locked down. All the organization’s electrical equipment was moved elsewhere. Yan Qingwen, Shen Fei and I have been taking turns guarding here, so you wouldn’t be left alone when you got out.”
Without any light, it would have been incredibly difficult to find the exit in the pitch-black fifth underground floor.
Shen Mo bent down to carry Bai Youwei, leading them out of the underground parking lot.
The journey was long. All the while, Shen Mo asked them about the game.
Most of the recounting was done by Bai Youwei.
“…The last night, I couldn’t sleep, my wheelchair was broken and I couldn’t use it, so I could only hobble around leaning on my crutch. I became quite annoyed after seeing how glittering and extravagant those rooms were.Upd𝒂ted chapters 𝒐n n𝒐velbin(.)com
I threw all the jewelry and accessories into the Dollhouse.
I also threw the clothes in.
Actually, a lot of the furniture was pretty nice, but I wasn’t strong enough and as I had a limp, moving things around was really difficult.
But I didn’t leave any weapons behind. Those weapons came in handy – we couldn’t bring in external weapons into the game, but these weapons were part of the game itself, and could be used within the game!
…Later on, the reward was a torture device. We passed on it. That prop was a piece of crap that made us uncomfortable, whether we used it or not.”
At this point, she let out a long sigh and said, “I kinda miss Snowflake.”
Although Snowflake was a wildcard, the rewards he gave were undeniably useful.
–The mud from the frog had saved them countless times. The Dollhouse and Snowflake were priceless lifelines. They were much stronger than the flamboyant comic book handsome man!
Shen Mo listened quietly, letting out a silent chuckle.
These Inspectors were all products of the Doll game. He didn’t like any of them, but if he had to choose, he felt the rabbit-headed gentleman from the first game was okay.
That Inspector gave Bai Youwei the “tenth of me” prop. Without it, she probably wouldn’t have survived the women-only game.
As Zhu Shu and Yu Yaqing were both injured, their pace was slow. After some time, they finally reached the surface.
Many people had arrived.
The research group members, the security group members, the organization’s head, Chu Huaijin, and Li Li were all there.
They had all rushed over after hearing from Tan Xiao that they had emerged. Of course, they were all men, avoiding any female contact.
Zhu Shu walked up to Li Li, supporting her injured hand, head bowed, with so much to say but unsure of how to express it.
“Li Li…”
As she began to speak, her eyes became moist. She bit her lip tightly, took a moment to calm her emotions, then continued: “Su Man… she… in order to save me, she…”
Li Li stared at her blankly.
“I’m sorry!…” Zhu Shu broke into tears, “I’m sorry, Li Li! I’m the one who caused Su Man’s death!”
