Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

"Ding! Welcome to the Doll Game! The theme of this game is 'Hide-and-Seek'. The rules are as follows:

One, refuse the game and become a doll!

Two, fail the game and become a doll!

Three, clear the game and be rewarded with a doll!"

The familiar voice rang in their ears, but the scene before them remained unchanged.

They were still in the amusement park.

According to the information provided in Game No. 21's data, the hide-and-seek game scene completely replicated this amusement park. All elements were exactly the same as the real amusement park.

Shen Mo turned his head to look at the amusement park gate. The street scene and crowds outside the gate were gone, leaving only a blank white space.

"Welcome to the Doll Game. I am the Game Supervisor for this game. I look forward to your performance."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

Not far away, a figure wearing a white bow-tie shirt and a black tailcoat walked over. It held a top hat in its hand, like a polite gentleman, but it had a rabbit's head, and its voice was as gentle and intellectual as a woman's.

Several completely different characteristics were fused into one, surprisingly harmonious and natural.

Everyone subconsciously gathered together, watching the approaching Supervisor warily.

It stopped about ten steps away from them, its gaze lightly falling on their faces with different expressions.

When it saw Bai Youwei, its gaze paused slightly, then moved down, seeing the fluffy rabbit in her arms.

Bai Youwei frowned and turned the rabbit in her arms over, its back facing it.

The rabbit-headed person smiled silently.

"Now, let me explain the rules to you. Please follow me—"

It turned and walked towards a road paved with black and white square bricks, with bright flowerbeds, cartoon sculptures, and colorful flags and balloons that were common in amusement parks on both sides.

Everyone stood still, hesitated for a moment, and then followed the Supervisor one after another.

The amusement park was very large and very quiet. Apart from the sound of their footsteps, there was no other sound, not even the sound of the wind.

As silent as a tomb.

The Supervisor walked in the front, introducing the rules as it walked:

"Hide-and-seek is Mary's favorite game. She and her cat play hide-and-seek every night, and they play it very well. They have never been found. What you have to do is hide when night comes to avoid being found by Mary and her cat…"

"What happens if we are found?" Yu Yaqing asked.

"If you are found…" The rabbit-headed person slowed down and turned to look at her. "Being found means you lose. You will stay here forever and play hide-and-seek with Mary and her cat."

Shen Mo then asked it, "What are the conditions for clearing the game?"

The Supervisor replied, "Kill Mary, or Mary's cat. The death of either one will make the game impossible to continue, and then the players will naturally win."

The same as what was said in the game data.

The conditions for clearing the game were very clear, at least they didn't sound like they were deliberately mystifying or playing word games.

Either kill Mary;

Or kill Mary's cat.

It was that simple and crude.

The rabbit-headed person stopped in front of a huge carousel, raised its hand and pointed to the top of the carousel, introducing to everyone:

"This is Mary, and her cat."

Everyone followed the Supervisor's finger and looked up, only to see that the carousel had a red and white canopy on top, with gold powder painted on the edges and inlaid with colorful lights, which was exceptionally gorgeous.

And on top of the canopy, there was an extremely large stuffed cat sleeping!

On top of the cat, there was a little girl wearing a puffy princess dress sleeping!

It's the cat!

And Mary!

The Supervisor said, "After repeated debugging during the game's internal testing, this game implements a 6-hour system, that is, 6 hours of day and 6 hours of night. I hope everyone can make full use of their time to achieve the conditions for clearing the game."

After speaking, it turned to face them and asked gently:

"Now, are there any unclear points about the game rules?"
