Five people stared at their flowers uneasily.
Their gaze frequently darted towards Bai Youwei and Shen Mo’s flowers— pristine white lotus, dignified Chinese peonies, almost undamaged atop the glass vase—markedly contrasting from the rest.
The atmosphere was stifling.
Anxiety, impatience, jealousy, and unease tightly wrapped around them like an invisible net, restricting their breath.
Only when someone else returned from the direction of the woods, their flowers wilting gravely, did the gloomy look in the five’s eyes dissipate slightly.
Among the third batch of returnees, Zhang Qi’s flower stood out.
He brought back a lush, vibrant cactus, the top of which bloomed a golden flower. Thanks to the nutrients supplied by the cactus, there was no trace of wilt on the flower.
However, Zhang Qi’s hands were punctured and stained with blood.
Bai Youwei speculated that Zhang Qi must have encountered other returnees on the way and noticed their flowers were wilting. That’s why he came up with this method—it was quick thinking.
Except for Zhang Qi, the flowers of the third batch were all wilted beyond recognition. Some could not even be identified.
There was no need for comparison. One glance and it was evident who were on Without question, the first two were Bai Youwei and Shen MO, followed by the second batch of returnees. Zhang Qi’s flower could surely make it into the top ten. By this count, only two spots remained…
The Inspector cheerfully said, “Well then, please place your chosen flowers into the empty vases.”
Zhang Qi placed his flower in the 8th vase.
The remaining ten vases were still empty.
Everyone held their flowers tightly, well aware that the moment they inserted their flowers, they were likely to face elimination.
Being eliminated in the doll game would have dreadful consequences.
Some had started to tremble…
The Inspector’s grin widened as he patiently repeated, “Everyone, please place your chosen flowers in the vases.”
No one moved.
Wu Lili was panicking inside, her eyes kept glancing at others’ flowers as she mentally compared whether she could secure a spot among the top ten.
The flower in her hand had wilted, just barely maintaining its blooming shape, but its color was bleak. Of course, others’ flowers didn’t look any better.
She bit her lip and, summoning courage, lifted her flower to place it into the vase-
Suddenly, a hand reached out! It grabbed her flower and yanked!
The wilted petals were completely shattered!
Wu Lili’s face distorted instantly with rage as she angrily questioned: “Aunt He! What are you doing?!”
The middle-aged woman, called Aunt He, disregarded her and swiftly inserted her own flower into the vase!
Wu Lili was incensed to the brink and wanted to smash the other’s vase. However, she found that once the flower was in the vase, she could no longer touch that area, as though there was a layer of transparent shield!
Everything happened so swiftly, everyone stood in shock.
Wu Lili gritted her teeth, made up her mind! One hand buried the naked stem of her flower into a vase, while the other armed with a tree branch, swung fiercely at others!
Instant chaos ensued! Shouts and curses filled the air!
Some ducked, some fought back. Lazy men, nagging women, weak patients, sneaky kids – everyone turned to enemies together, engaging in life-threatening brawls!
Vases without flowers were smashed!
Wu Lili’s branch was long taken away. She huddled on the ground, beaten black and blue, her vision blurred, her body in agony as if she would be beaten to death in the next second!
However, all punches and kicks suddenly ceased in one instant.
She opened her eyes and saw the lush grassland in front of her curling up like a green blanket, revealing moist earth below and plump roots.
The roots were like raw, white flesh.
On the flesh was a bright red mouth.
Mouth filled with countless teeth.
In those sharp teeth, there were people, one after another, being swallowed alive…
