I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today - Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: The Real Gathering

Translator: 549690339

Externally, it seemed just like an ordinary wooden cabin.

But stepping inside, it has an entirely different charm.

While it couldn’t compare with a palace, it could definitely pass as a luxury banquet hall—

The first thing you see upon entering is a beautiful circular dance floor, filled with elegantly dressed guests. At the front, one could see a band playing instruments, and countless waiters were scattered around. Some were holding trays of food, some were pouring wine for guests, and some were doing nothing but standing politely.

All around was a vista of silks, satins, pearls, and precious stones. It seemed like you were at a banquet hosted by a wealthy person.

However, this feeling lasted only for a second.

Because everyone realised that whether they were dancing guests, musicians of the band, or the waiters, they all stood still.

They were all dolls.

The laughter, conversation, and music here were all artificial.

It was as if you dressed up the doll puppets in beautiful clothes, moved them into a beautiful house, arranged them in a situational pose, and then coupled it with fitting music—

It would be mistaken as real.

The Inspector was sitting at a dining table on the perimeter of the dance floor, gently waving at them.

The nearby dining tables were all filled with doll puppets, only the table where the Inspector sat was empty.

When the five of them went over, they saw six chairs, one of which was occupied by the Inspector, leaving five remaining.

Each of them understanding the situation well, they didn’t need to ask any questions and just found a spot to sit down.

The moment they sat down, the music stopped.

Lifting their heads, they noticed all the dolls around were looking at them—

The dancing ones, the musicians, the ones serving wine, and even the ones sitting on the other chairs. They all had turned their heads, some even twisting their necks 180 degrees, staring straight at their table!

Everyone was scared stiff, their faces turning pale, with chills shooting up their foot-soles and hand-palms.

The banquet hall was so tranquil that it was eerie.

The doll puppets gazed silently, like a terrifyingly layered cloud enveloping

everyone.

The Inspector, however, remained his usual polished and courteous self, wearing a smile. “My friends and I welcome you all here. We hope we can be friends.

There was no response.

If the price of friendship was to become a doll and stay here, it would probably be their eternal nightmare.

Bai Youwei, however, seemed exceptionally brave. She glanced at the nearby tables and asked, “These tables are all for six people, but only five dolls are sitting there. Are they players who lost the game?”

The Inspector’s blue eyes twinkled slightly, and he responded with a smile: “Indeed. Friends who lose the game stay behind. The gathering of friends never ends.”

Bai Youwei asked again: “Do you have any friends in the outside world?”

The Inspector hesitated.

“No, right?” Bai Youwei said, “With your way of treating friends, even if you had friends, you would definitely fall out with them.”

The smile on the Inspector’s face faded a bit: “Miss, I admire your sense of humour, but in the game, it is better to avoid making jokes.”

“Do I look like I’m joking?” Bai Youwei looked surprised, “I clearly told you the truth. Probably the game system also thought you were pitiful for not having friends and decided to assign you a ‘friends game’ to oversee. Ah- I just realized that the system is quite considerate.”

The Inspector’s expression twisted a bit, seeming to be grinding his teeth: “The friends game is my masterpiece, flawless, and it has shown countless valuable data! The system is just…”

All of a sudden, he fell silent.

Bai Youwei and Shen MO almost simultaneously voiced out: “Just what?”

The Inspector looked at them for a moment. Gradually, the annoyance faded, and a smile returned to his face.

Almost as if he couldn’t help but chuckled out: “Ha! Interesting humans, but just a combination of water, protein, inorganic substances, and enzymes. Are you that curious to know the answer?”

All five of them at the table stared at him, their eyes filled with fear, hatred, and endless confusion.

What exactly is this doll game?

The Inspector spread out the two decks of cards on the table and chuckled:

“Play this game with me then, and see whether you have the chance to get the answer from me..
