Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

“Why can’t it be eaten?!” Number 9 indignantly questioned Wu Lili. “Number 7, think carefully! Can it be eaten or not?! Doesn't it come in many flavors?! I don't believe you haven't eaten it!”

Wu Lili was stunned by the question, her voice weak and lacking confidence. “…It seems… it seems like it’s not inedible…”

Bai Youwei stared wide-eyed in disbelief. “You can eat that?! Doesn’t it disgust you?!”

Wu Lili hesitated. “…It… it is quite disgusting…”

“The point is, it’s not meant to be eaten at all! It’s meant to be used!” Bai Youwei firmly remembered Shen Mo’s “last words”: its size depends on the user. So the word must be related to using it!

Hearing this, Number 9 burst into laughter, pointing at Bai Youwei. “See! She’s exposed herself! Her word is different from ours! It’s clearly something to eat!”

Wu Lili wavered again, looking at Number 9 with suspicion.

Seeing an opportunity, Bai Youwei quickly pressed her advantage. She asked Number 9, “You say it can be eaten, fine! Then tell me, how do you eat it?! Who would eat it?! Have you eaten it yourself?!”

“So what if I have?” Number 9 was arrogant. “My whole family has eaten it, chewed it, ripped it, pulled it, so what?!”

Bai Youwei pointed at him. “Vote for Number 9!”

Wu Lili also raised her hand.

Number 9’s face changed drastically. Before he could curse, he vanished.

The Overseer, having watched enough of the drama, clapped lightly. “The Ghost has chosen to form an alliance with Number 7. All of Number 7’s teammates are revived.”

Shen Mo, Zhang Qi, and the woman who was Number 2, the first to be eliminated, reappeared.

Wu Lili, as if waking from a dream, looked at Bai Youwei in surprise. “So you’re the Ghost…”

Bai Youwei didn’t want to bother with her. She only felt exhausted. After that shouting match with Number 9, even her throat felt tired!

She hadn’t realized it before when she was with Shen Mo, but this time she fully experienced how terrifying it was to have a pig teammate.

That Wu Lili was actually prepared to betray her midway!

If she hadn’t shouted herself hoarse and turned the tide, it would have been a 1v1 battle between Wu Lili and Number 9!

Given the nature of this game, a 1v1 wouldn’t allow voting; in the end, they would only be able to fight each other. Wu Lili had just been beaten up; could she possibly win against Number 9?

Bai Youwei leaned her forehead against Shen Mo’s arm, physically and mentally exhausted. “What was your card? I almost died…”

Shen Mo stroked her head with a touch of gentleness. “It doesn’t matter anymore.”

Bai Youwei sulked for a moment, then suddenly chuckled. “Ah… why didn’t I think of it earlier? It was that thing.”

Shen Mo looked at her. “What thing?”

Bai Youwei looked up and smiled wryly. “It’s slime.”

Sticky, wet, slippery, soft, and elastic, able to grow and shrink. Zhang Qi’s description also fit perfectly. Pirated slime toys were cheap, while genuine ones were incredibly expensive.

As for whether supermarkets sold them, she wasn’t sure.

After all, as a sheltered young lady like herself, she didn’t have many opportunities to visit supermarkets.

“It’s slime, right?” Bai Youwei held Shen Mo’s hand, her eyes curving into crescents with childlike pride. “Am I not amazing? I can still win even with a blank card.”

Shen Mo’s lips curved slightly. “Yes, you’re amazing.”

Her eyes curved even more, like bright crescent moons.

Looking at her, Shen Mo felt a warmth in his heart, a hard-to-describe feeling, like a hardened heart slowly softening, enveloped by a gentle warmth.

He didn’t say anything, just gently stroked her head, then pushed his wheelchair toward the wooden house.

There, a gathering of true friends awaited them.
