Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

Shen Mo stopped and asked her, "Do you think our current method is wrong?"

Bai Youwei frowned, unsure how to say it.

The method… the method was naturally not a problem. Whether it was using fire to separate Mary and the cat before, or now using a lasso to force them apart, without mentioning the result, the idea itself was not wrong.

However, based on the previous games, the condition for clearing the game was definitely not to force every player to become a martial arts expert, nor would it deliberately make things difficult for players—

Giving Mary and the cat an almost "immortal" setting, and then asking players to kill them, wasn't that a contradiction?

And there was one more thing she had been concerned about.

…Hide-and-seek.

So far, she really didn't think the game had anything to do with "hide-and-seek."

It was just that the clues were too scattered to piece together a complete logical line. She tried hard to think, but still had no clue.

"Anyway, be careful," Bai Youwei said softly. "I just feel like something's not right."

Shen Mo lifted her up a little higher and said, "I'll remind them."

They continued upwards, reaching the top floor of the clock tower, where the light was bright.

Bai Youwei leaned on the railing and looked down.

Even without binoculars, she could clearly see Yan Qingwen setting up traps next to the carousel, with ropes winding around, and Lu Ang's large iron anchor hanging up, not knowing what effect it would ultimately have.

Setting traps tested calculation and reasoning, especially spatial reasoning.

Even the simplest act of tripping someone with a rope required considering the distance of the opponent's stride, the height of their foot lift, the angle of their landing, and so on.

Shen Mo didn't stay in the clock tower for too long and quickly went down to help.

Bai Youwei leaned on the railing, watching them busily working below, and couldn't help but wonder: Could she be wrong?

Although the game wouldn't force players to become martial arts experts, people with high martial arts skills were often more favored, because—

If they could break through the rabbit tide, they could run back even if they chose the wrong track;

If they could kill the giant frog, they would have unlimited time to find the golden ball.

If they could kill the ragdoll cat or Mary now, this game of hide-and-seek could end…

She believed that the game had commonalities in some aspects. If it wasn't right, then something must be wrong somewhere.

A few hours passed quickly.

They had done all the hard work they could, and now, all that was left was to test the results.

The girl and the cat on the carousel seemed unaware of the killing intent surrounding them, sleeping quietly.

Yan Qingwen, Lu Ang, and Shen Mo were all standing in their positions.

They held strange rope loops in their hands, clearly made of hemp rope, but wrapped with thin iron wire, seemingly to increase their rigidity.

Yan Qingwen instructed them, "Pay attention to the sharp corners of the carousel's canopy, the height should not exceed that range, as it will enter the ragdoll's field of vision."

Shen Mo nodded slightly and also instructed him, "If you lasso it, give us a signal immediately, and we'll come over to help you."

"You too," Yan Qingwen looked at them. "If the situation is not right, go hide in those hiding places, don't push yourselves too hard. Mary and the cat can't see the players, they'll quickly go back to sleep, and then we'll have another chance."

Everyone nodded, their eyes turning again to Mary and the cat high above.

Whether it would work or not depended on this time!

All preparations were complete.

Lu Ang tightly gripped the rope loop in his hand, the wrapped iron wire a little prickly, but he was completely unaware, his eyes fixed on the cat on the carousel without blinking.

His task was to lasso the ragdoll cat!

He took a deep breath, tightening his grip on the rope loop again.

Three…

…Two…One… Go!
