Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

The ragdoll cat opened its huge mouth, blocking Shen Mo's path!

Shen Mo decisively adjusted his direction, swinging his sword to slash at the cat's eyes!

Bang, bang, bang!

Huge plastic buttons fell to the ground, bounced twice, rolled to the side of the road, and stopped.

The cat's left eye socket was bare, with only a black thread remaining.

Mary shouted angrily, "You bad guys! I'm going to kill you all! Kill you all!!!"

The ragdoll cat "meowed" and stood almost completely upright, then pounced on Shen Mo!

"Brother!" Shen Fei's eyes turned red, and he rushed out with his axe!

Bai Youwei was horrified, thinking he was going to his death, but she didn't expect Shen Fei to be so capable. With Shen Mo and Yan Qingwen holding it back, he managed to chop the ragdoll cat several times!

However, whether its limbs were chopped, its abdomen was cut open, or its eyes were sliced off, the ragdoll cat remained a ragdoll cat. Its attacks did not diminish, and its fierce pouncing and scratching were overwhelming everyone.

Luo Bin was injured and collapsed against the wall.

Shen Mo, Yan Qingwen, Lü Ang, Yu Yaqing, and Shen Fei gradually shifted from active offense to passive defense.

If they hadn't been through the maze, they would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

As for Tan Xiao and Jiang Hao, they were nowhere to be seen.

Bai Youwei was very worried.

She was worried about the immediate situation, and also worried about Tan Xiao. He was like a blank sheet of paper, with his intentions written all over him. If Jiang Hao deliberately set a trap for him, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.

Her brain felt like it was splitting into several pieces, worrying about one thing and then another.

Bai Youwei bit her lip tightly, feeling extremely anxious.

The night had a full six hours, and not even one hour had passed. They couldn't keep fighting Mary and the cat here!

Should she let the rabbit out now? …No, she couldn't!

The rabbit could be used for surprise attacks, but not for sustained battles! If it released lightning frequently, its energy would be depleted quickly!

The immediate priority was to get everyone to retreat!

…But where could they retreat to?

No matter where they hid, Mary and the cat would find them. What was the point of retreating like that?!

The others retreated while fighting, leaving Bai Youwei's field of vision. She saw the button eyes left behind by the ragdoll cat on the road.

Button eyes…

Eyes?

Bai Youwei's thoughts suddenly stalled. She vaguely felt that she had overlooked something. Thinking about it carefully, didn't this situation feel familiar?

In the dollhouse, the nail-toothed monster seemed to have X-ray vision, rushing straight to the storage room where she was hiding as soon as it entered!

Now, it was happening again!

What did the dollhouse and hide-and-seek have in common?

She anxiously looked around.

Common ground…

Where was the common ground?

Were they both full of childlike fun?

Why were they full of childlike fun?

Because…

Because…

…Dolls?

Bai Youwei was stunned.

Her thoughts connected, and she suddenly became unusually clear-headed. She looked around again—

Indeed… there were many, many dolls here!

Whether it was in the gift shop earlier, or the candy house later, there were countless doll decorations, plush, rubber, ceramic, wooden, clay, fabric, felt…

All kinds of dolls.

Mary was watching them through their eyes!

"It's the dolls!" Bai Youwei was excited. She immediately rushed out of the treehouse and threw the rabbit at Mary! At the same time, she shouted, "Scatter!!!"

The others who were fighting with the ragdoll cat all retreated. Shen Fei was a step slow and was pulled away by Shen Mo!

Before he could figure out what was happening, he saw the big cat crash to the ground! Lightning bolts ran across its body like snakes!

Bai Youwei shouted at the entrance of the treehouse, "The dolls here are the watchers! Find a place without dolls to hide! Don't let the dolls see you!!!"
