Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

The noisy stage—

Music boomed, lights converged, and cartoon mascots performed on stage.

Below the stage was an invisible area, usually used as a secret passage for performers to make unexpected entrances or exits.

This was a place invisible to the audience, and also invisible to the mascots performing on stage.

At this moment, the current survivors of the game were gathered here—Shen Mo, Bai Youwei, Tan Xiao, Shen Fei, Yan Qingwen, Lü Ang, and Yu Yaqing.

The operation had not achieved the desired effect, and everyone looked uneasy.

Yan Qingwen counted the heads and said, "There are seven left."

He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the unconscious Shen Fei and the injured Yu Yaqing, and added, "Of the seven, two are injured."

Bai Youwei felt that this person was obsessed with numbers. It was obvious at a glance that several people were missing from the original ten, but he had to emphasize it.

Yu Yaqing held the wound on her abdomen and looked up to say, "My injury is not serious. I'll recover quickly with a few hours of rest."

Lü Ang said irritably, "This game is a little too twisted, isn't it? We burned Mary and the Cat into iron frames, and they're still not dead! Are we just wasting our time?!"

"It's not completely useless." Shen Mo said calmly, "At least we know now that Mary and the Cat are not afraid of fire. Their weakness must be somewhere else."

Yan Qingwen nodded slightly, "That's right. We've tried using knives, electricity, and fire. Mary and the Cat were all injured, but eventually fully recovered. Now that we're facing these two metal skeletons, we need to consider other aspects. Which part have we overlooked…"

"Knives don't work?" Tan Xiao looked at everyone hesitantly, feeling puzzled. "Didn't Brother Mo cut off Mary's arm with his sword? How could it be useless?"

Yan Qingwen was slightly stunned and asked Tan Xiao, "When you saw Mary, what was her arm like?"

Tan Xiao shook his head, "The arm turned into a triangular knife, but she can't just change any part she wants, unless she's a Transformer."

Yan Qingwen pondered, "In other words, although we can't damage the steel skeleton, the joints can be disassembled… and after disassembly, Mary's form will change accordingly."

"Does simply disassembling them count as 'killing' them?" Yu Yaqing frowned. "The condition for clearing the game is to 'kill' Mary or the Cat. Just cutting off an arm isn't enough."

Lü Ang snorted heavily, "I don't believe it. I'll cut off their heads and see if they can still live!"

"Big Beard, don't brag~" Tan Xiao said sarcastically from the side, "We can't even get close to them now. Are we going to kill them from a distance?"

"It's not that we can't get close…" Yan Qingwen pondered with a serious expression, and slowly said, "If we can get the doll off Mary… maybe we can succeed."

As he spoke, he looked at everyone, "We've all overlooked the doll on Mary. The stuffed dolls in the amusement park are all equivalent to Mary's eyes. When I climbed onto the carousel, the stuffed doll saw me, so the surprise attack failed. If we want to succeed next time, we must first find a way to get rid of the stuffed doll."

Yu Yaqing suddenly realized, "You mean… if we don't get rid of Mary's stuffed doll, it's like they're sleeping with their eyes open?"

"Yes." Yan Qingwen said, "The game's time periods are divided into day and night, which must have a purpose. Just like you said before, since they are invincible at night, they must have weaknesses during the day."

Yu Yaqing frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Bai Youwei hesitantly, "Weiwei, what do you think?"
