Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

Su Man asked, "Why do you say that? Are you familiar with this Inspector?"

"Not familiar, but I have seen it before," Bai Youwei said blandly. "I was in a game before where the Inspector was also it. It… seems to like to create fancy things, like roses, afternoon tea, balls, beautiful clothes, all kinds of shiny, sparkly things…"

She paused slightly, frowned, and continued, "However, the splendor is just a facade; cruelty is the reality. What it likes to see most is players killing each other."

Su Man snorted coldly, "It underestimates us too much. It thinks it can make us fight among ourselves with just the hint of 'the last bride'? Should we remind Yu Yaqing's group? Don't let them fall into the trap."

"No rush, there should be something else…" Bai Youwei said thoughtfully, "A female-only event, there should be a reason for it."

She thought about it, but couldn't come up with anything for the time being. She looked up and saw the two women in front of her staring at her, and she felt a little helpless.

"What are you looking at me for?" Bai Youwei sighed, "Let's go. While the Duke isn't back yet, let's search around."

The three women went out together.

They met Yu Yaqing's group of four in the central hall.

"Are you going to search the rooms?" Su Man said, "This place is very big, why don't we split up."

Yu Yaqing glanced at her.

They had just fought yesterday, but since they were in the game together now, it was better to put aside their grudges for the time being.

Yu Yaqing nodded and answered decisively, "You take the left, we'll take the right."

Su Man, Zhu Shu, and Bai Youwei went to the left.

Yu Yaqing, Hu Ya, and Zhao Lanfen went to the right.

Cheng Qian stood in the middle and hesitated for two seconds, finally following Yu Yaqing's steps.

In fact, she was very unpopular with Yu Yaqing's group. Hu Ya would often mock her, and Zhao Lanfen would help her on the surface, but she only cared about her own safety.

But the three people on the left…

A cripple, someone with an injured hand, and a celebrity who only knows how to sing and dance.

No matter how you look at it, the leader of the security team is more reliable.

…

On the left and right sides of the hall were spiral staircases, with luxurious crimson damask carpets and pure gold Baroque carved handrails. Walking on the stairs, you could see the sparkling crystal chandelier in the middle of the hall, like an upside-down cake, stacked layer upon layer, crystal clear and dazzling, a feast for the eyes.

If it weren't for being in a game, they might have stopped to admire it for a moment.

However, the threat of the game was always present, and no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it had a hint of deathly strangeness in their eyes.

The rooms that Bai Youwei's group searched were all unlocked. They twisted the handles, and with a light push, the doors opened.

--Either they were filled with jewelry, or hung with gorgeous clothes, or displayed all kinds of expensive tableware, tables, chairs, mirrors, tapestries… a dazzling array.

They opened 63 rooms along the way, from the initial shock to the final numbness, almost aesthetically fatigued with gold and silver jewelry.

Su Man opened the 64th room.

This time, it displayed exquisite suits of armor.

Not only were there suits of armor for people to wear, but also armor for horses, decorated on wooden racks. The knight's armor was placed on the horse, as if it were a real person and horse, dignified and luxurious, with an imposing aura.

Zhu Shu took a horsewhip from the waist of a suit of armor and handed it to Su Man, "Can this be used?"

Su Man took it and tried it with her left hand, but it wasn't very smooth.

"Let's keep it for now." She tied the whip around her waist, and then drew a sword from the armor, waving it to test the feel.

There were voices outside, sounding like Yu Yaqing's group.

The three walked out of the room and found that it was indeed Yu Yaqing and the others. It turned out that the corridors on both sides formed an arc, and if you walked from one end, you could reach the other end.

Yu Yaqing saw Bai Youwei and the others coming out of the room and asked, "Did you find anything?"
