I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 505: Don’t Understand, Don’t Understand
“It is likely,” Du Lai said coldly, “I remember the base’s intel mentioned the Ghost Fire game.”

After a pause, he wrinkled his nose in disgust, “But that’s a ghost wall game, not this woman… woman what’s it again?”

“Woman’s Destiny,” his girlfriend interjected. ” ‘Woman’s Destiny’ is a tune from the Min opera.”

Du Lai seemed not to want his girlfriend to make her presence known in front of these two, discreetly pinching her palm.

However, his girlfriend was determined to oppose him and raised her voice: “What are you doing! I can’t even speak now?! If that’s the case, why did you save me? It’d be better if you had let me die!”

Du Lai: “…”

Shen Mo glanced at the woman in black before turning his gaze on Du Lai, “I remember the Min opera is a local opera genre in Fuzhou, but I’ve never paid much attention to it or know much about it. Now that we’re in the game, if we’re to act together, shouldn’t some information be shared?”

“Indeed~” Bai Youwei chimed in, “if you don’t want to act together, you can leave now.”

“If I have to leave, then I’ll leave! Who cares!” the woman in black snapped, her temper larger than Bai Youwei’s.

Just as she was about to open the door and get out, Du Lai grabbed her, “Wait a moment…”

His girlfriend frowned displeasingly, “What the heck are you doing?!”

She suddenly spoke in dialect.

Du Lai kept gripping her hand and said to Shen Mo, “Of course, it’s safer to move together. We’ve heard a lot about your extensive experience in clearing games. You wouldn’t withhold any clues you find, would you?”

Shen Mo nodded slightly, his voice calm: “As long as there’s an alliance, information resources should be shared.”

“Good.” Du Lai nodded, held his girlfriend’s hand and said, “We’ll get off together, we’ll ask the inspector about the rules. If the game isn’t competitive, I’m willing to form an alliance. We will share any information about the game we have.”

After saying this, he looked at Bai Youwei and smiled, “How is that? Is it sincere enough?”

Bai Youwei returned a cold smile and said nothing.

Shen Mo held Bai Youwei’s hand and said, “Let’s get off together.”

…

A drizzle was falling.

The cold wind was bleak.

As soon as the car door was opened, the ethereal green Ghost Fire outside flickered, burning even more intensely. The ghostly face amidst the flames grew increasingly abstract and eerie.

All four got off the car together.

The fluctuating ghost fire floated towards them, its voice genderless, serene, slow, like a mournful chant from the depths of an ancient tomb-

“Welcome… to… the doll game…”

The flames danced around them slowly, getting very close, nearly touching their skin, and yet they felt no heat at all.

“Rules of the game, as follows… Li’s wife, carried a corpse from the east to the west of the village… then from the west to the east… day in day out, without rest, if you can make her stop, you can win.”

Bai Youwei, frowning in impatience, snapped, “Speak comprehensibly!”

Ghost Fire: “…”

Du Lai’s girlfriend: “Hahaha, it’s not a human! How can it speak like one!”

Bai Youwei look annoyed: “I don’t understand, repeat the rules!”

The ghastly fire stared at Bai Youwei.

It recognized her.

She had obtained “One Tenth of Me” from the rabbit head, “Doll House” from the ball, and recently acquired a few parts, which led the comics man to suspect the rabbit head of favouritism, simply because… this player has too many uncontrollable factors, causing everyone much trouble.

Unexpectedly, it would meet her in its own game…

However, it’s game shouldn’t be exploited by her, should it?

After all, its game, among all the doll games, was the most conservative, the most rigorous, and the most solid. The number of times it had been patched was close to zero.
