Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

The group hurried back. Before they reached the starting point, they heard the students' terrified screams!

Turning another corner, they saw several students running towards them in a panic!

"What happened?!" Shen Mo stopped them.

Zhang Tianyang was still in shock, breathing rapidly, "Mirror… The puppet in the mirror, it came out! … There are, there are two students, trapped in the mirror!"

He gasped and turned to look at the people behind him. Seeing Chen Hui, he immediately reached out and grabbed her, looking her up and down, "No, no reflection… It's fine, we're fine…"

Shen Mo glanced at the students. There were only six of them.

He frowned, "Where are the others?"

Chen Hui looked up, her eyes bloodshot, "…They ran into the door and turned into dolls."

"Door?!" Teacher Cheng asked in disbelief, "You found the exit again?"

Zhang Tianyang nodded, replying with difficulty, "A very large door… Many dolls, more than before, not only on the walls, but also on the ground…"

He recalled the feeling of walking on them, as if stepping on countless heads, his face becoming even uglier, cold sweat dripping continuously.

"Are there any mirrors?" Bai Youwei asked urgently.

Zhang Tianyang was taken aback.

"No mirrors." Chen Hui answered, "There are no mirrors near that door."

Liao Jingjing cried, "I said it all along, the first exit is the real one! Let's go! I don't want to stay here anymore! I want to go out! I don't want any rewards!!!"

"Enough!" Chen Hui pushed her hard, "Go by yourself if you want to! Stop howling here!"

Liao Jingjing burst into tears and helplessly grabbed Zhang Tianyang's arm.

Zhang Tianyang was both annoyed and pitiful towards her. He flung his sleeve but couldn't shake her off, nor did he have the energy to continue pulling with her. He looked helplessly at Shen Mo and Bai Youwei:

"Mr. Shen, did you find anything?"

Shen Mo said, "We also found an exit."

A wry smile appeared on Zhang Tianyang's face, "So now, we have three exits."

Chen Hui said, "The maze has four main paths, and there are likely four exits, but there will only be one real exit."

"There are mirrors at the starting point, and there should also be mirrors at the end point." Bai Youwei looked at them, her voice both calm and firm, "If you trust me, come back to the starting point with us now, pack your things, and I will take you out of the maze."

"I won't go back!" Liao Jingjing screamed, "Why go back?! Those puppets are behind us! We'll definitely run into them if we go back!"

"We must return to the starting point." Bai Youwei said with an expressionless face, "Otherwise, even if we find the exit, we won't be able to get out."

"I won't go back!" Liao Jingjing shook her head in panic, crying, "Why should I trust you?! Teacher Tu is dead, and you just want to use us students as lab rats, let us go back and die! Right?! You don't even know which exit is the right one!!!"

Liao Jingjing was on the verge of a mental breakdown. She turned and ran, ignoring the shouts of other students.

"Leave her alone." Bai Youwei calmed down instead, "Even if she runs to the exit, she won't go in."

Zhang Tianyang: "But…"

"She won't go in." Teacher Cheng sighed heavily, "We saw the doll of your classmate at the exit. If she sees it… she definitely won't rush in."

The other students fell silent at his words, their faces even more exhausted and lost.

Chen Hui turned and walked back.

Zhang Tianyang was stunned, "Chen Hui, where are you going?"

"Back to the starting point." Chen Hui said without looking back, "Didn't she just say that if we don't go back to the starting point, we won't be able to get out of the maze."

"…Can we really get out?" Zhang Tianyang stared blankly ahead.

Bai Youwei closed her eyes and whispered, "Let's try…"
