Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

After Jiang Hao left, Shen Mo also departed not long after.

He never had a good impression of Bai Youwei to begin with, and now that he saw Tan Xiao keeping her company, he didn't want to embarrass himself by going over to her. He went back to find his brother.

Bai Youwei, using her crutches, put in some effort and finally climbed up the clock tower.

The view from the top floor of the clock tower was extremely wide, overlooking the entire amusement park. Each direction also had a telescope installed, convenient for tourists to sightsee.

Bai Youwei adjusted the telescope to the direction of the carousel and looked carefully.

At the top of the carousel, Mary and the cat were sleeping quietly.

The cat was much more conspicuous than Mary.

It was said to be a rag doll, and it really was a rag doll, not the "Ragdoll cat" breed that Bai Youwei had imagined, but a cat made of floral cloth scraps and cotton—

Its entire body was multicolored, pieced together with various fabrics. Its eyes were made of buttons, its whiskers were made of springs. It had no teeth and no sharp claws. It was hard to imagine that this cat had killed so many people.

As for Mary, she was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, sleeping soundly on the cat.

She had beautiful golden curly hair, tied into two braids on top of her head, like two golden cotton candies.

Her dress was pink, with white lace trim, and a pretty satin ribbon bow on the puffy skirt. She wore pink and white checkered socks and a pair of red leather shoes. She also carried a rag doll shoulder bag—

Her entire look was innocent and childish, like a living person.

After Bai Youwei finished looking at Mary and the cat, she adjusted the angle of the telescope and looked to the other side.

Yan Qingwen's trap was gradually taking shape.

To increase the success rate, he had set up traps on several roads near the carousel.

Because time was limited and materials were limited, these traps were not very sophisticated, but they should be able to cause some damage or resistance to the cat.

Shen Mo, Yu Yaqing, and the others were all helping.

Jiang Hao had already returned and was also in the crowd.

Probably feeling that now was not the best time to kill and seize treasure, he temporarily sheathed his fangs and did not show anything unusual.

The sky was gradually darkening, and the clock tower's hour hand was slowly moving towards six o'clock.

Bai Youwei looked at the area around the carousel again, had a general idea of the situation, and slowly went downstairs with her crutches.

Tan Xiao wanted to carry her, but she wasn't interested. She slowly walked down by herself. When she was a third of the way down, Shen Mo came to pick her up.

"Is everything ready?" she asked.

"Yes, everything is ready," he replied.

She put away her crutches, he carried her on his back, and before nightfall, the two entered a gift shop on Fantasy Street, quietly watching the carousel in the distance through the window.

When the hour hand pointed to 6 o'clock, the clock tower issued a "clang"! Crisp and loud!

Night fell, and the entire sky turned pitch black!

Immediately afterward, the amusement park seemed to come alive!

Brilliant colored lights lit up, and the sound of music surged like a tide! Every building was brightly lit!

Including the gift shop where Bai Youwei and Shen Mo were!

The two looked at each other in surprise.

This was unexpected!

Once there was light, the dark corners were exposed, and many hiding places were no longer hidden!

Shen Mo frowned and quickly carried Bai Youwei under the counter, while he hid behind the curtains—

Through the glass window, he saw the entire amusement park was bustling!

The roller coaster roared with the sound of wind, the carousel swayed with the music, the Ferris wheel's colored lights were dazzling, and all the still dolls seemed to have come to life, swaying and lining up in a long line, following the amusement park's float parade!
