I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today - Chapter 426: 426: One Step Late

Chapter 426: Chapter 426: One Step Late

“Ah!” Mary exclaimed in terror, twisting her body to avoid the attack!

But it was still too late!

The sharp blade sliced off her arm!

With two thuds, the slender white arm fell to the ground. Shen Mo frowned, lifting his sword again to strike at Mary’s head.

Mary let out a horrified scream!

The cat from outside rushed in, and she leapt onto it. Immediately afterwards, the ragdoll cat charged out of the candy store with Mary, jumping onto the roof!

Shen Mo was about to give chase when he heard Bai Youwei shouting loudly at him from behind:

“Shen Mo!!!”

Shen Mo paused in his steps, turned and saw the severed arm on the ground tightly gripping Bai Youwei’s ankle!

The five fingers were clenched tightly into the flesh of her ankle, as if wanting to break Bai Youwei’s foot off!

Shen Mo’s heart lurched, and he swiftly stabbed his sword into that severed arm!

The grip on the ankle finally loosened, and Bai Youwei immediately withdrew her foot. A clear mark of five fingers emerged on her fair skin, slowly turning into a bruise.

“Are you okay?” Shen Mo asked, holding her up.

Bai Youwei shook her head, catching her breath, “Mary might be going to find the others. There might be something wrong with the way we were hiding, otherwise, she wouldn’t have found us so quickly, unless she has X-ray vision!”

Shen Mo’s face was stern: “If Mary knows everyone’s location, this is not a game of hide and seek, but a hunt.”

He was thinking the same as her.

But the situation was urgent, and they couldn’t figure out what the problem was in the short term!

A scream came from outside!

The scream punctuated the chaotic music, suddenly rising and then quickly fading away. It was unclear who was being attacked and who was scrambling to escape.

Bai Youwei looked out the window and said with knitted eyebrows, “You’d better go and help.”

Shen Mo looked at the severed hand on the ground, “And you?”

“I’m fine, just go,” she pushed him gently, “I can handle this.”

Shen Mo gave her a lingering look.

With an inexplicable courage, Bai Youwei suddenly held his face and bit his lip forcefully!

She quickly let go after two seconds, took a deep breath and said, “Don’t die. If you can’t handle it, use puzzle, understood?”

Shen Mo’s eyes flickered with countless emotions, dark and deep.

He put her down, held her jaw, and said in a low voice, “There’s not enough time now, I’ll pay you back when we’re out.”

After saying this, he turned around and ran towards the screams.

Bai Youwei stared blankly at his retreating figure until it disappeared from sight, and her racing heart gradually calmed down…

She let out a sigh of relief, turned her head to look at the arm pierced by the sword on the floor. It was still twitching.

But Shen Mo’s sword had pierced too deeply and ruthlessly, it couldn’t break free! The fingers scratched at the floor unyieldingly, like a fish on a chopping board, devoid of blood.

Nothing strange about that, the cat was a ragdoll, and Mary was certainly not human.

Bai Youwei used a golden key to open the dollhouse.

Chang Weicai and Pan Xiaoxin inside the dollhouse were taken aback by her dishevelled appearance.

“Wei…Weiwei?! You’re okay, aren’t you?” Chang Weicai asked anxiously, “Where’s your wheelchair? Your cane? Isn’t Shen Mo with you?”

“We can talk about it later.” Bai Youwei hurriedly instructed them. “Go pick up some burning firewood from the fireplace and throw it here. Dry firewood as well, the more, the better.”

“All right, all right! We’ll get it for you right away!”

Balls of fire were thrown out from the dollhouse, igniting the wallpaper, igniting the cabinets, igniting the dolls.

The candies in the candy store melted under the high temperature, forming puddles of sticky liquid and setting ablaze. The air was filled with a mix of burnt and sweet smell.

The flames raged on…
