For the second time this summer, they suffered tremendous losses.
Shen Mo and Qingwen, who were the first to fall into the water, were injured to varying extents.
Shen Mo, smeared in mud, was luckily not impacted much as his injuries were treated timely. But, Zhu Shu, when in the water, was badly hurt by a spike on the fin of the Fish Monster; she was near death when pulled out of the water.
Shen Mo saved himself, saved Qingwen, saved Zhu Shu. The mud was used up three times in a row.
When Zhu Shu regained consciousness, she was dazed.
She subconsciously touched her stomach. She remembered clearly that her guts were exposed. But the skin there was intact now.
It felt as if it was all a big dream.
Someone was calling her name repeatedly nearby, “Zhu Shu, Zhu Shu ”
It was Li Li.
He was holding her hand, regretfully saying, “Why did you let go. You shouldn’t have ”
“If she hadn’t let go, the ones falling into the water to feed the fish would be us,” Su Man muttered from the side, “Lun Ang was not strong enough to hold on to three people.”
Li Li became sadder, “Zhu Shu did it to save me.”
Su Man rolled her eyes but didn’t argue with him, considering the situation.
Zhu Shu pulled her hand back from Li Li and, while holding her stomach, slowly sat up.
The wound was gone, there was no pain anymore
Someone must have used some tool on her.
Su Man took Li Li away to check on Lun Ang’s recurring leg injury.
Zhu Shu was sitting alone in a daze, still somewhat confused.
She let go to save others but it wasn’t just for that. Zhu Shu knew her worth to the team compared to Li Li and Su Man.
Instead of waiting for Lun Ang to eventually let her go, it was better for her to let go proactively. This way, she would not only manage the situation but also earn respect.
Why not?
Seeing her still in a daze, Qingwen frowned and asked, “Are you alright?”
Zhu Shu snapped out of it, looked at him, and gently shook her head, “I’m fine ”
After a pause, she whispered, “I, once again, caused you to waste another tool.”
Upon hearing this, Qingwen subconsciously looked towards Shen Mo. The tool was provided by Shen Mo, it didn’t seem like a waste to them.
At this time, Zhu Shu spoke slowly, “Actually every celebrity has thought about their exit. Is it by having their public image tarnished, being caught up in negative news; or is it after growing older, being phased out by the younger generation of fans; or is it by fading away from the industry due to a lack of work
Some celebrities would carefully design their exit, a concert or a performance, leaving at the peak of their glory; it’s a wonderful thing, isn’t it?
I’ve thought about that too.
If I have to die sooner or later in this Doll Game, I hope that my death is beautiful. Not because I’m too stupid to solve the riddles and end up being a doll, or by playing mind games to fight for a chance to survive. I wish to die like a human.”
Live like a human.
Die like a human.
Being able to maintain the bottom line till the end, being genuine, and kind.
Having experienced life and death firsthand, she poured out her feelings.
The room was silent for a long time.
Zhu Shu looked around, only to realize that she was under everyone’s gaze at some point.
Li Li and Su Man, Qingwen and Lun Ang, Bai Youwei and Shen Mo, as well as Chang Weicai, Tan Xiao, and Xiaoxin every single one of them was looking at her.
After a while, Qingwen said, “Of course. If we lose our humanity and become demons to win the game, then even if we win, it’s a loss.”
“We won’t lose!” Li Li declared with excitement, “Even if I have to dive in to find it myself, if we can find all the beads, we definitely can clear the stage!”
“We don’t need to look for the beads,” Bai Youwei’s voice was unusually calm, “What the Water Monster wants is not the beads.”
