I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today - Chapter 448: 448: The Death of the Immature

Chapter 448: Chapter 448: The Death of the Immature
Lun Ang placed a hand atop Yan Qingwen’s, and said with a grin, “We’ve played so many rounds, what’s one more!”

Tan Xiao also extended a hand: “My lucky stars are shining bright, we’ve got this!”

Yu Yaqing looked at them and without hesitation reached out, solemnly saying, “Last day, let’s give this our all.”

Shen Mo smiled faintly, staying silent, but placed his hand in theirs.

Shen Fei, seeing his brother join in, eagerly followed suit.

Lastly, Bai Youwei…

Bai Youwei looked at them.

And they all looked back at her.

Expectation filled their eyes, smiles played at their lips, and words of encouragement hung in the air…A spectrum of emotions reflected onto her.

Flushed and uncomfortable, she bit the bullet and slowly, extended her own hand.

Just as she put it down, someone firmly grasped hers.

All hands pushed down together and then lifted high―

“We’ve got this!!!” Tan Xiao shouted the rallying cry.

Bai Youwei furrowed her brow, complaining outloud, “…So childish!”

Everyone laughed uproariously!

The pressure lifted, the tension disappeared, and their laughter and joy spread to all, as if it were only a casual game.

It had nothing to do with life or death, the world outside.

Just a game. That’s all.

Bai Youwei looked at them in confusion, unable to comprehend their mood.

Although it appeared as though they were simply putting their hands together, she had a strange feeling that somehow…things had changed…

As if a new force emerged, shining brightly, reaching ever upward.

But where did this power come from?

Lost in her thoughts, she turned to look at Shen Mo.

Shen Mo was still smiling too, his lips slightly lifted revealing a softness in his eyes.

He raised a hand and gently ruffled her hair, “I’ll take you to the Clock Tower.”

Lun Ang clenched his fists with fervor, “Alright, we should start setting traps!”

With a faint smile, Yu Yaqing added, “And we’ll find strategic defensive positions.”

Each drew into action.

Shen Mo pushed the wheelchair forward. The fact that it survived the conflagration was a miracle in and of itself.

In no time, they reached the base of the Clock Tower. Shen Mo hoisted Bai Youwei onto his back and walked in. The stairway twisted upwards like a thread through the eye of a gargantuan bolt.

The staircase grew higher each step, seeming infinitely endless.

Bai Youwei rested her chin on Shen Mo’s shoulder, asking, “What’s your plan?”

“Yan Qingwen plans to use lassos,” answered Shen Mo in a steady voice as he continued his ascent. “He will take on Mary. I’ll provide backup. Lun Ang, Yu Yaqing, and Tan Xiao will handle the cat. Once they have ensnared either one, they will drag them apart, separating Mary and the cat.”

After pondering for some moments, Bai Youwei said, “Yan Qingwen is quite impressive—always coming up with solutions, no matter the situation.”

With a slight smile, Shen Mo agreed, “Indeed, he sometimes comes up with some quite creative ideas.”

Bai Youwei also agreed with this assessment.

While hanging onto his back, she mused, “The doll’s field of vision is limited. If we can find its blind spots, we may be able to ensnare them while Mary and the cat sleep…yet beheading them could be much trickier.”

Shen Mo softly agreed, “There is some degree of difficulty. It is practically impossible for one person alone to kill either Mary or the cat.”

―Killing the cat was impossible due to its iron skeleton, and every evening, Mary would stitch its body back together.

―Killing Mary was no simpler. It could grow blades from an amputated limb, and with a doll attached to its back, it seemed to have eyes in the back of its head; there was no taking it by surprise.

Lost in thought, Bai Youwei uttered a peculiar, “Huh!”

At this, Shen Mo halted in his steps and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s rather strange…” Bai Youwei stared blankly, “If we hadn’t brought those swords and knives in, there would be no weapons in the amusement park. It doesn’t seem fair for the players to deal with these two targets unarmed.”
