Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

The man bled incessantly, eventually turning into a pool of viscous, human-shaped blood, mixed with foul-smelling hair and blood-soaked clothing. He lay silently on the ground.

Zhu Shu and Yu Yaqing, gripping the long saw, watched quietly for a while. Realizing he wouldn't come back to life, they finally released their hold on the saw.

Clang—

The heavy steel saw crashed to the ground.

It was over.

"Congratulations, you have cleared this game."

The blue-eyed, blonde Inspector stood politely outside the door, a perfect smile on his lips.

"This game was designed specifically for women, and the key elements examined were—

First, a woman's suspicion;

Second, a woman's weakness;

Third, a woman's tendency to be dependent.

The players who win this game will receive the 'Duke's Secret Key' as a reward."

As the Inspector spoke, a key appeared in mid-air before the three women.

It was a completely red key, as if it had been dyed with blood.

Bai Youwei reached out and grasped it. The item's information immediately appeared in her mind—

[Duke's Secret Key: Can randomly summon a piece of torture equipment in the game, forcibly eliminating one player.]

The Inspector continued, "At the same time, to reward the players for showing valuable friendship in the game, from this moment on, the system will bind you together. In the future, you can be summoned by another person as a helper. This hair clip is the proof."

A hair clip appeared before each of them, pink with a plastic flower as decoration, like the cheap kind that cost fifty cents outside elementary schools.

Bai Youwei took the hair clip in her hand, her brow slightly furrowed.

[Plastic Flower Hair Clip: The holder of this item can be summoned into the game by a player with the same item, as a helper. There will be no penalty for losing the game, nor any reward for winning.]

"If someone else clears the game and gets this kind of item, will I be summoned by strangers?" Bai Youwei asked unhappily.

"No." The Inspector explained gently, "If other players clear the game, the hair clips they receive will not be this style. Only the three of you will have this style."

It paused, looked at Zhu Shu and Yu Yaqing, and smiled slightly:

"Of course, summoning is not mandatory. You can refuse, just break the hair clip. After all… it's plastic, very fragile."

Zhu Shu and Yu Yaqing glanced at the Inspector with cold eyes and silently accepted the hair clip.

Bai Youwei also accepted the hair clip.

She threw the blood-red key in front of the Inspector, her face expressionless. "I don't want this reward."

The Inspector was slightly stunned.

Then Zhu Shu and Yu Yaqing also threw their keys.

The three bright red keys landed on the floor with a cold, hard clatter.

"You voluntarily give up the reward?" The Inspector was astonished, his beautiful blue eyes widening slightly as he asked in confusion, "Why?"

After going through so much hardship and finally clearing the game, why would they give up the reward item?!

Bai Youwei glared at it with disgust. "Because it's too trashy."

Inspector: "…"

"It really is trashy." Yu Yaqing also frowned.

Zhu Shu said, "And disgusting."

Bai Youwei continued, "Trash game, trash reward, trash."

Inspector: "…………"

"Now that we've cleared the game, hurry up and send us out," Yu Yaqing urged coldly.

"Are you sure you've thought this through?" The Inspector forced a smile. "Do you really want to give up the reward? You went through so many difficulties, made so many sacrifices, and finally got this reward…"

"We don't need it!" Yu Yaqing shouted hatefully, "Even if I encounter a player I have to eliminate in the future! I'd rather stab them to death than use this inhuman torture device!"

Bai Youwei said coolly, "I don't need trash."

Inspector: "………………"
