I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today - Chapter 423: 423: Unexpected

Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Unexpected
Not long after Jiang Hao left, Shen Fei also left.

He had no fondness for Bai Youwei to begin with, and seeing that Tan Xiao was now in her company, he had no desire to impose himself, preferring instead to return to his brother.

Using her crutches, Bai Youwei exerted effort to climb the Clock Tower.

The view from the top of the Clock Tower was extremely open, overlooking the entire amusement park. Each direction was equipped with a telescope, convenient for sightseeing.

Bai Youwei adjusted the telescope towards the direction of the carousel and studied it closely.

Atop the carousel, the mannequin, Mary, and the cat were quietly sleeping.

The cat was much more noticeable than Mary.

It was indeed a rag doll – not a Ragdoll breed as Bai Youwei initially thought, but a feline figure created from floral fabric and cotton –

Colourful and pieced together from various fabrics, it had buttons for eyes, springs for whiskers. It had no teeth, no sharp claws, it was hard to imagine that this cat had killed so many people.

As for Mary, she was modeled after a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, lying sound asleep on the cat.

She had beautiful curly golden hair, bound into two braids, it looked like she had two pieces of gold cotton candy on top of her head.

Her dress was pink with white lace trimmings, a puffy skirt adorned with fancy satin bow ties, paired with checkered pink and white stockings, and she wore a pair of red shoes. She was also carrying a doll bag –

The overall appearance was innocent and childlike, very lifelike.

Having finished observing Mary and the cat, Bai Youwei adjusted the telescope to look at the other side.

Yan Qingwen’s trap was gradually taking shape.

To increase the success rate, he set traps on several paths near the carousel.

Due to limited time and materials, these traps weren’t very elaborate, but they should be able to inflict some damage or slow down the cat.

Shen Mo, Yu Yaqing, and others were all helping.

Jiang Hao had returned and was also in the crowd.

Perhaps he felt that the current situation was not the optimal time to kill and steal treasures, he had temporarily hidden his fangs and did not show any abnormality.

The sky was getting darker, and the hour hand of the clock tower was slowly moving towards six.

Bai Youwei had looked over the area around the carousel, and had a general idea of the situation. She slowly went downstairs with the support of her crutches.

Tan Xiao offered to carry her, but she declined, descending at her own pace. After making her way a third of the way down, Shen Mo came over to assist her.

“Is everything ready?” she asked.

“Yes, everything is ready,” he replied.

She put away her crutches, he picked her up, and before nightfall, they entered a gift shop on Fantasy Street. Through the window, they quietly observed the carousel in the distance.

When the hour hand pointed to 6, the clock tower let out a “clang”! It was crisp and loud!

Night fell, and the entire sky turned pitch black!

Immediately after, it was as if the amusement park came to life!

Brilliant colored lights lit up, and music played like a wave. Every building was brightly lit!

This included the gift shop where Bai Youwei and Shen Mo were hiding!

They looked at each other in surprise.

They didn’t expect this turn of events!

Now that lights were on, dark corners were exposed, much to their dismay, many of their hiding places were no longer concealed!

Shen Mo frowned, grabbing Bai Youwei and ducking under the cash register as he hid himself behind the curtains –

Through the glass window, he saw the entire amusement park bustling with activity!

The roller coaster emitted the noise of the wind as it rushed by, the carousel swayed to the music, the Ferris wheel’s colorful lights were stunning, all the motionless dolls seemed to have come to life as they stumbled in line, following the parade of flower-decked carnival floats in a procession!
