I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today - Chapter 422
Chapter 422: Chapter 422: Stay Away from Me
She had just been here helping to set up the trap, but now there was no sign of her.
Yan Qingwen knew of Shen Mo’s apprehension. Seeing his expression darken, she leaned in and quietly asked, “Should we check on her?”
Shen Mo glanced towards the Clock Tower, “No need, she can handle it.”
The Clock Tower wasn’t too far from the carousel.
Following the little path paved with red bricks, there was a flower garden in sight, with four arch bridges reaching out to each side of the Clock Tower.
It was a tad strenuous pushing uphill with the wheelchair on the arch bridge. Bai Youwei decided to stand and walked forward using her cane for support.
Noticing an extra shadow on the ground, she halted, turned her head, and realized the man behind her was now less than ten meters away.
Bai Youwei furrowed her brows, “Keep your distance.”
Jiang Hao grinned, “I saw you heading here alone…So I thought I’d check in on you. Do you need help?”
His seemingly friendly demeanor was marked by dominance. His encroaching steps toward her did not falter.
A mocking, cold laugh curled up at the corners of Bai Youwei’s lips.
She was well aware of his intentions.
No doubt, he must have been growing impatient waiting for this opportunity.
Once night falls, everyone will scatter. Mary and the cat will wake up, making the act of “killing for treasure” much more difficult.
If he isn’t aiming to clear the game, there’s no need to wait for nightfall to take a risk. It’s best to acquire what he wants during the day, then find an opportune moment to exit the game using the puzzle piece.
Of course, it would be best to eliminate all other players before leaving, so there’s no need to worry about his disguise being exposed. For example, the man with the white gloves who emerged from the game last time.
Jiang Hao continued to approach her.
Bai Youwei looked at him with a cold gaze.
She was slightly curious, what kind of tool was the white glove? Why was it so powerful? Of the ten people who entered the game last time, apart from the man with the white gloves, everyone else died…
“Weiwei! It’s really high up there! There’s even a telescope!”
Tan Xiao suddenly rushed out from the Clock Tower, caught sight of Jiang Hao, and was taken aback.
He asked bluntly, “Hey! Why are you following us? What, trying to slack off from work?!”
Jiang Hao paused then replied with a smile, “I couldn’t really do anything to help over there, so I came over.”
He continued walking towards Bai Youwei, slightly raising his hands clad in white gloves…
Bai Youwei laughed again.
How interesting.
—He didn’t even abandon his target despite seeing Tan Xiao come down from the Clock Tower. It seemed like Tan Xiao posed no threat to him, at least not in the eyes of this man named Jiang Hao.
Her curiosity deepened.
Just how powerful were the white gloves? Were they enough to give him the confidence to take on two players?
As the distance closed, the plush rabbit perched on Bai Youwei’s shoulder raised its head. Its beady little eyes stared silently at the man.
Jiang Hao paused.
The rabbit spent a large portion of the time on Bai Youwei’s shoulder “acting cute”, so Jiang Hao was unclear about its true function.
He hesitated slightly.
Although he was confident in dealing with two people at once, the emergence of an unexpected prop compelled him to be cautious.
“Jiang Hao? What are you doing here?”
Shen Fei walked over in surprise, then noticed Tan Xiao and couldn’t help but frown, “Why are you all here? They’re swamped over by the carousel, aren’t you going to help?”
Tan Xiao pleaded his case, “I was going to help! But they said I’d just be in the way and told me not to, so since I had nothing to do, I came to help Weiwei survey the area!”
Shen Fei:
Jiang Hao gave them a smile, “I think I’ll head back then. I was worried Miss Bai would be unattended, but since you’re all here, I’ll go back and help.”
With that, he walked away at a leisurely pace, both hands in his pockets.
Bai Youwei found it a pity.
She was so close to seeing his true colours. But she was sure… he would make his move again soon.
