Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

Mist covered almost the entire central area of Yangzhou.

This area had modern commercial office buildings, protected ancient buildings, banks, hotels, shopping malls, universities, hospitals, stadiums, Daming Temple, leisure parks, and the Slender West Lake Scenic Area, all in it!

How many people must be there?

But the maze was silent. There was no sound of people, nor could a single figure be seen.

Everyone knew in their hearts: There must be some unknown danger in the maze.

"Let's go in." Shen Mo pushed Bai Youwei into the passage.

Teacher Cheng followed.

Tan Xiao was the last.

The journey was calm.

Shen Mo kept walking along the main road, turning a blind eye to the forks on both sides.

After walking for more than ten minutes like this, something finally felt wrong. There seemed to be more and more mirrors on the walls on both sides.

The forks became visually more and more intricate due to the reflection and refraction of the mirrors.

"Is this a mirror maze?" Tan Xiao looked at both sides. "I played in a science and technology museum once. It was full of mirrors, more than here. I could see countless selves when I walked around, and I felt dizzy after a while."

Bai Youwei was surprised: "You've been to a science and technology museum?"

Tan Xiao nodded matter-of-factly. "Yes, when I was short of money, I went there to hand out flyers and balloons to children."

Bai Youwei curled her lips silently.

In front, a building was lying on its side. The tempered glass wall of the pure mirror reflected their walking figures, as well as the blue sky and white clouds.

Walking further ahead, there were two rows of public toilet sinks, each with a mirror above it, connected for at least 100 meters.

Although they hadn't reached the end yet, judging by this situation, there were probably densely packed mirrors ahead.

Shen Mo stopped.

The others also stopped, their faces puzzled.

"Look in the mirror," Shen Mo said.

Everyone was puzzled and turned to look at the mirrors on both sides.

"What are you looking at the mirror for?" Tan Xiao looked at himself in the mirror.

It was still the same T-shirt and jeans, the same short grandma-gray hair, and still… He felt that something was wrong. He walked two or three steps closer to the mirror suspiciously, then was startled and backed away!

"Holy crap!" Tan Xiao almost peed his pants. "Look in the mirror!!!"

In the mirror, they were still them, but they were not them.

They turned into human dolls in the mirror!

Bai Youwei subconsciously touched her face. The her in the mirror also touched her face. She touched her hair, and the her in the mirror also touched her hair.

Bai Youwei stopped looking at the mirror, looked down at her hands, and pinched them.

It turned red, a little painful.

She was clearly still a living person, but what was reflected in the mirror was a doll!

It made her feel sick.

"Let's move on." Shen Mo said lightly. "There is something wrong with these mirrors. Everyone, try to stay away from them."

The abnormality of the mirror was their first small disturbance after entering the maze, and it passed without any danger.

They walked for another twenty minutes or so and came to an open space—

It was square and flat, with a circular fountain in the middle, like a striking road sign.

"It's the Citizens' Leisure Square." Teacher Cheng looked around, his tone slow and heavy. "This is the place… but the trees are gone, and the flowers are gone. The square is next to the canal, and there is no river here…"

There were only countless mirrored walls, and between the mirrors were forks in the maze leading in all directions.

Bai Youwei slid her wheelchair to the edge of the fountain and found that the water also reflected her shadow: a girl doll holding a plush rabbit.

She reached out to touch the water, but Shen Mo grabbed her wrist, his eyes warning.

Bai Youwei gave up resentfully.

Shen Mo looked at Tan Xiao and Cheng Weicai: "Although there is no warden and no explanation of the rules here, it seems that the condition for clearing the level is to find the exit of the maze. If you have any ideas, you can tell them."
