Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

Pan Xiaoxin was a little nervous.

Ever since entering the maze, he had been ordered around by this group of people (especially Bai Youwei).

It wasn't that he was unwilling to be bossed around… it was just… just… uh, how should he put it? It just felt strange. Why would they trust a child so much?

Weren't they afraid he would mess things up?

Pan Xiaoxin carefully examined the map, pointed to a spot, and hesitantly said, "Here… could we go here? Kaixuan Road is located on the edge of the maze, and there are many residential buildings. If the Gluttonous Snake comes, we'll have places to hide…"

"Let's go there," Bai Youwei decided, turning to ask Shen Mo, "Brother, what do you think?"

Shen Mo nodded. "Yes, that's fine."

Pan Xiaoxin stared at them.

They decided so casually?

Really?

Are they sure?

They're not joking, right?

"What are you staring at?" Tan Xiao patted Pan Xiaoxin's small shoulder. "Kid, lead the way~"

"…" Pan Xiaoxin silently adjusted his backpack strap, held the map firmly, and walked towards their destination.

The journey was smooth.

Occasionally, they encountered small monsters, but only a few scattered ones. Before they could multiply, they were easily dealt with.

Sometimes tremors could be felt nearby, and everyone would hide in the houses along the road for cover. The snake usually only foraged along the streets and rarely entered buildings.

Stopping and starting, they got closer and closer to Kaixuan Road.

To be honest, Bai Youwei admired this child. Because in her opinion, the city buildings had become such a mess that they looked almost identical, but Pan Xiaoxin could accurately identify every road and every building. His spatial awareness and sense of direction were extraordinary.

Several times she suspected the child had taken a wrong turn and looked at Shen Mo questioningly. Shen Mo gave her a reassuring look.

She was surprised.

But then again, an elementary school student who could survive in such a harsh environment must have some abilities besides just luck.

Like her, a cripple. Meeting Shen Mo was certainly luck, but was she herself completely useless?

Of course not!

Bai Youwei silently curled her lips.

This was why she liked games. They wouldn't abandon you because you were young, or old, or crippled, or for any other reason.

Doll games, while bringing pain, also always gave opportunities.

Others saw despair and slaughter in games;

She saw flowers, dew, sunshine, a paradise facing the sea with spring blossoms.

…No, wait.

Except for this place.

Bai Youwei wrinkled her nose in disgust.

This maze was truly disgusting!

…

After arriving at Kaixuan Road, Pan Xiaoxin completed his task of leading the way, and then Shen Mo surveyed the terrain.

Shen Mo chose a residential complex. The outer wall of the green area seemed to be the outermost layer of the maze.

They made a lasso out of the rope in Pan Xiaoxin's backpack, tied a small Skinned Monster to it, and threw it near the wall to gnaw on meat. Standing on the second-floor balcony, they held the rope, walking it like a dog on a long leash, guiding it to gnaw wherever they wanted.

The monster split as it gnawed on the meat.

The number of monsters increased, and the holes in the wall grew larger and larger.

Everything went extremely smoothly. The only thing they needed to be wary of was the Gluttonous Snake wandering the streets—

The snake was easily attracted by the stench of the Skinned Monsters.

Shen Mo was always the most alert.

When he sensed the vibrations approaching, he pulled back the rope and took the Skinned Monsters to the gate of the complex to act as bait.

He was very skilled in these diversionary tactics. Whenever the Gluttonous Snake smelled the scent and wanted to enter the complex to forage, he would lead the Skinned Monsters around to tease it, making the snake go in circles. It couldn't eat a single monster after circling for a long time, becoming hungrier and thinner.

Meanwhile, the wall of the complex had been gnawed and chewed through by the Skinned Monsters!

A faint white light could be seen.

Bai Youwei sighed, "It was that easy."

But the problem now was…

How could they get through hundreds of Skinned Monsters to reach the exit?
