Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

The crowd was in an uproar.

There were questions, doubts, and persistent, perplexing uncertainties.

"How did they die?"

"Didn't they use props?"

"A-Qiang brought so many props, how could he die?!"

"Yeah! Even if they died, it shouldn't have been this fast!"

Faced with these questions, the man weakly shook his head and replied, "That cat was too powerful… too fast, everyone didn't have time to react…"

As he spoke, he coughed softly, as if already very weak.

Several staff members came forward to maintain order, taking the man away to understand the situation. The agitation and chaos at the scene gradually subsided.

Bai Youwei watched his retreating figure, a mocking smile on her lips. "He's lying."

Yu Yaqing was stunned and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Game 21 is Hide-and-Seek. I've read the game information. It requires at least 10 people to trigger. After entering the game, you need to find a place to hide to avoid being caught." Bai Youwei looked at her and asked, "Do you think the players who went in would all squeeze together in one place to hide?"

Yu Yaqing frowned. "Of course they would scatter to hide."

Bai Youwei: "Since they were scattered, how would he know that everyone else died?"

Yu Yaqing was taken aback.

"That's right." Yan Qingwen nodded thoughtfully. "Using a puzzle piece to leave the game must happen in extremely dangerous situations when there are no other life-saving measures. At that time, it's impossible to observe other people's situations, unless those 10 people were always together."

Lu Ang couldn't help but say, "Maybe he saw the others' dolls when he came out, so he assumed they all died in the game."

"If that were the case, there would also be contradictions," Shen Mo calmly reminded Lu Ang. "He just said that because the cat's 'speed was too fast,' and the ten people were clearly scattered, how would he know the cause of death of others? So many people came up to question him just now, but he wasn't flustered at all. It would be a normal reaction to deny everything and say he didn't know anything at a time like this."

Bai Youwei's lips curled into a contemptuous smile. "The deaths of those nine people must be related to that man. Either he directly did it, or he indirectly set them up."

"Why would he do that?!"

Yu Yaqing already believed Bai Youwei and the others by 80%, and couldn't help but ask:

"What's the purpose of wasting a puzzle piece opportunity to kill nine people?!"

Zhu Zhu was also puzzled, pondering, "If it was just to kill people, there's no need to do it in the game…"

"Who knows~" Bai Youwei shrugged indifferently. "Let me give you some advice. After joining the evaluation team, if you encounter that man wearing white gloves, be sure to stay away and don't join a team with him."

Yan Qingwen gazed at the figure that had already walked away, his eyes slightly narrowed. "…Indeed strange, it doesn't hurt to be careful."

"Yeah, he's wearing white gloves, it feels so weird," Zhu Zhu also said.

Almost everyone noticed the white gloves.

The sense of incongruity was strong.

Yu Yaqing was worried about another matter: "If gathering so many experts can't clear Game 21, the city area will become a dangerous zone in 7 days. At that time, the base will have to relocate somewhere else."

She bit her lip and said to the others, "I need to go back to headquarters, I'll leave first!"

Yu Yaqing left in a hurry.

Everyone stood at the gate, watching her leave, each with their own thoughts.

Lu Ang asked Yan Qingwen, "Are we still signing up for the evaluation team?"

"Let's wait for news." Yan Qingwen took out a cigarette and lit it, his tone indifferent. "If the base is going to relocate, there's no point in joining the evaluation team now."
