I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 247: 247: Still Introducing

Li Li paused here, looking at the group, he was frustrated to find no reaction from them.

“Don’t you understand? Earth is a giant magnet with magnetic fields everywhere! But our data shows that many places lack magnetic fields! It’s like that area suddenly disappeared! Like it never existed!”

“Those places must be the mazes,” Bai Youwei drawled, “Can we hear something fresh?”

Li Li:

“Yeah, Li Li,” spoke Lun Ang. “We don’t understand theory, mate. Tell them something about the mazes.”

“The Maze .” Li Li thought for a moment. “The maze is an.undetectable mysterious object. At least for the time being, no devices we have are able to engage with it. It expands over time and the anomalous regions of the magnetic field near it, also known as the puppet game, repel the maze like the repulsion of two same magnetic poles, maintaining a considerable distance.”

After pausing for two seconds, Li Li continued, “When we evacuated, we followed this rule to avoid the game, retreating along the edge of the maze, but   I underestimated the expansion time and range of the maze. I  I and several special task force teammates were forced into the maze, they  they all sacrificed their lives.”

He turned to Zhu Shu, “Later on, I met Zhu Shu in the maze. I was tired and thirsty at the time, and she saved me.”

“Not really, it was actually Li Li who saved me,” Zhu Shu smiled lightly. “I was trapped in Nanchang with my agent. The fog came so suddenly and he said he went for help, but never returned. Then the driver also went to find the way out, leaving me alone in the nanny van. If it weren’t for brother Yan and his team coming to rescue Li Li, I wouldn’t have been able to get out.”

After saying this, she hesitated, then continued, “As for me  I am 24 years old, I know foreign languages, I’m good at  singing and dancing I suppose, I know a bit about fashion design and makeup, but these skills are pretty useless now.”

She gave a self-deprecating smile.

Tan Xiao asked in surprise: “Aren’t you 20?”

“Oh that .” Zhu Shu giggled, “My agent modified my file. It’s easier to draw fans when you’re younger.”

Tan Xiao: “Oh…”

His expression once again fell.

Bai Youwei curiously asked, “Which number was the Nanchang Maze?”

Yan Qingwen said, “Number 8. The city turned into a desert, all the skyscrapers became ruins. Vehicles trapped in the sand unable to move. People either died from thirst or were buried in quicksand.”

Bai Youwei asked, “Which do you think is more difficult, the Hangzhou Maze or the Nanchang Maze?”

The Hangzhou Maze was number 7.

Yan Qingwen furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, then said, “Number 7 is harder I guess. Although the environment in Number 8 is very harsh, there are no harmful creatures. As long as you find the right direction and avoid the quicksand, you can find the exit.”

After a pause, he asked Bai You Wei, “Do you think the number of the maze is related to its difficulty level?”

“Just a guess.” Bai Youwei shrugged, “We’ll need to face a few more mazes to confirm.”

The next person to introduce herself was Su Man.

She didn’t have much to say, stating it bluntly: “The Su and Li families have been friends for generations. I’ve known Li Li since I was a child. When I heard he was in trouble, I came here with Brother Yan. My strengths are  hand-to-hand combat and weapon skills.”

Mr. Cheng said, “I’m a language teacher at Nanjing’s 13th Middle School, just turned sixty this year, please take care of me.”

Tan Xiao asked: “What does ‘just turned sixty’ mean?”

Mr. Cheng: “Cough, it means sixty years old.”

Tan Xiao: “And twenty?”

Mr. Cheng answered formally, “That is, of course, one’s coming of age.”

Tan Xiao looked puzzled: ” Quite weak, huh?”

He originally wanted to use some high-class idioms, but now he thought better of it.
