I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today - Chapter 452:
Chapter 452: Chapter 452: Just Feel Noisy
——What to do?
Shen Fei and Yu Yaqing instinctively looked at Yan Qingwen.
He always had numerous plans.
But right now, he couldn’t think of any plans at all. He sat quietly against the wall. His head was dropped low and his hands were trembling slightly.
Bai Youwei had never seen such a desolate side of Yan Qingwen as if he had reached the point of absolute despair…
Shen Mo glanced at everyone present, his eyes finally falling on Yan Qingwen, asking, “Does Lun Ang have a puzzle piece?”
Yan Qingwen closed his eyes and replied in a hoarse voice, “…Yes.”
Lun Ang had a puzzle piece, but he didn’t get a chance to use it, then…
Thinking about it made him feel so suffocated that it felt like a knot was tied in his throat, and he could not speak due to the pain.
Shen Mo had always been calm. He turned his head to look at Yu Yaqing, asking, “Do you have a puzzle piece?”
Yu Yaqing gently shook her head.
After considering for a while, Shen Mo said, “We have to prepare for the worst. If we can’t pass through, we must figure out how to evacuate. Bai Youwei, Tan Xiao, Yan Qingwen and I all have puzzle pieces. Tomorrow we will find an opportunity to recover Lun Ang’s puzzle piece for Yu Yaqing to use. In the meantime, I would come up with a way to prepare a puzzle piece for my brother.”
Bai Youwei looked at him in surprise.
Looking at her, Shen Mo calmly explained, “We will just have to inconvenience Xiaoxin this time, using it as a temporary solution. We will make it up to him next time if we manage to clear the maze.”
Pan Xiaoxin had also received a puzzle piece in the Snake Maze.
Despite feeling guilty, Shen Mo had no other choice. He couldn’t just stand by and watch his brother die.
In a hoarse voice, Yan Qingwen said, “You can use my puzzle piece. I’m not going.”
Hearing this, Shen Mo frowned, asking him, “Do you realize what you are saying?”
After hesitating for a while, Shen Fei quietly said, “Brother Yan… we know, you might not be able to accept it… but Lun Ang would never want you to stake your life in the game if he were alive.”
Yan Qingwen slowly shook his head, “You don’t understand.”
Raising his head, he looked at them, his eyes as still as a stagnant pool.
“If I leave here, then what happened today will forever remain here, and I won’t be able to move past it. Can you understand that?”
Even if he escaped, he was already dead. He had died in every previous second of Lun Ang’s death!
Everyone was silent and there was no sound.
The loss of a comrade-in-arms, everyone more or less felt this pain. None of them were able to reassure each other, or knew what to say to comfort each other.
After a while, Shen Mo said, “Let’s try it one more time then.”
Everyone looked at him.
Shen Fei hesitated, “But… doesn’t decapitation not work?”
“Although it will not instantly kill Mary, it can still hinder her movements.” Shen Mo calmly said, “If we can behead her once, we can do it again. We need to find a way to hide the head once it is severed. By getting rid of the threat, we can slowly figure out a way to clear the game.”
As he spoke, he looked towards Yan Qingwen who was keeping his head down, “After that, get some rest.”
Yan Qingwen didn’t respond, he just kept his head hung low. The remaining light outside painted a shadow on the wall, silent, veiled in (grief/loss), and lonely…
…
The daytime was running out fast.
Soon, it was night again.
The lights turned on and music played. The outside world became excitedly noisy, bustling with noise.
It seemed like mockery and derision, their spirits had sunk to an all-time low, but this amusement park insisted on creating an atmosphere of extreme fun.
All they felt was irritation.
Shen Mo took a short trip outside and came back to tell everyone, “Mary collected many plush dolls again, she’s sewing cloth cat dolls.”
This indicated that they were safe for the evening.
But it also implied…
Once Mary finished sewing the dolls, what awaited them the following evening would be an even more brutal game of… hide and seek.
