Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

Su Man's form was sparse.

In stark contrast to Bai Youwei's form, she had written only a few words under each question.

For example, regarding the game scene question, Bai Youwei described the internal and external structure of the manor in great detail. Zhu Shu and Yu Yaqing also mentioned the revolving stone wall on the third floor to varying degrees, as well as the hidden passage in the basement.

But Su Man only wrote four words: "Manor, very big."

Su Man had a straightforward personality, so she shouldn't be deliberately hiding information.

Bai Youwei thought for a moment and understood the reason.

Su Man's right hand seemed to have difficulty writing.

Her right hand had been bitten off by a guest in the dollhouse. Although she immediately used mud at the time, after the wound healed, fine motor skills became much weaker. Not only was writing difficult, but in daily life, delicate finger movements such as picking up food with chopsticks or threading a needle were also difficult.

However, compared to losing her life in the game, losing a hand was nothing.

Besides, she still had her left hand.

Bai Youwei casually asked, "Is your left hand okay?"

In "The Last Bride," the Duke always grabbed the women's hair or wrists when dragging them into the torture chamber. Zhu Shu and Su Man's wrists were injured, and Su Man seemed to be more seriously injured.

Su Man was struggling to hold the pen, her handwriting crooked, which made her look pained. When she heard Bai Youwei asking her, she couldn't help but pause, then smiled and said, "It's fine."

She slightly raised her left arm, which was wrapped in gauze, and said, "It should heal in a few days. After all, I've been through the maze twice."

Bai Youwei nodded lightly and turned to ask Yu Yaqing and Zhu Shu on the other side, "How are your injuries? Have they all healed?"

Yu Yaqing: "It's better. Although it hasn't completely healed, it doesn't hinder my movements."

Zhu Shu: "Yes, don't worry. We've all been through the maze, and our bodies have stronger self-healing abilities than ordinary people."

Su Man listened to them, put down her arm, and gently grasped her left forearm with her right hand, silently, without speaking.

…

After filling out the forms, Professor Song asked about some details of the game.

This was the first game with gender restrictions, and he was very concerned about it, believing that future games were likely to gradually develop in this direction.

This time it was a women's special, next time maybe it will be a men's special? A children's special? There might even be games with professional themes, like a group of chefs participating in a cooking competition?

Like a large competition, it starts with a rough preliminary selection, and the design of the competition becomes more refined as it progresses.

But what kind of people are these selections ultimately meant to choose?

What is the ultimate goal of the game?

It was still unknown.

Bai Youwei recalled the games she had experienced, the Tortoise and the Hare race, the Frog's Golden Ball, and the Lucky Quiz. The elimination rates were extremely high, and the players who entered died in batches.

She said thoughtfully, "The previous games… the number of triggers was above 30 or 20. The later games had fewer triggers, 10, 7…"

Professor Song's wooden face remained expressionless, and he said plainly, "Yes, because the population base has decreased, the trigger conditions for the game have also changed accordingly. In future games, the number of triggers will become less and less. According to our speculation, there may even be games that can be triggered by only one person."

As he spoke, he raised his eyelids and looked at the four young women in front of him, and then said:

"Your ability to come out of this special game can also be considered an accumulation of experience. The rules and forms of future games may not be very complicated, but the difficulty will definitely be greater, and the competition will be greater."

Yu Yaqing suddenly stood up and said to the professor with a solemn expression: "Professor Song, I believe that the game is a hurdle that everyone must face. All members of the security team should participate in the game regularly to exercise their abilities and accumulate experience. I hope you can approve my request!"
