I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

He paused for a moment before adding, “If we stay in the gloomy place, the wounds will gradually deteriorate.”

Bai Youwei frowned as she stared at the wound on Shen Mo’s back and whispered, “We need to get out of here as soon as possible.”

“Let’s sort out the clues we have first,” Shen Mo retorted, still in a calm tone, “We can now confirm that the corpse that the Corpse Carrier was carrying is in fact hers. And, the women in the village who heard the opera singing women would unknowingly use an ax to behead their husbands.”

“From this point of view, it must have been Mrs. Li who killed Li Laitzi. The reason why she let the other villagers repeat the things she had done is most likely out of a sense of revenge,” Bai Youwei speculated.

Fu Miaoxue couldn’t help but ask, “If Mrs. Li keeps seeking revenge like this, she will end up killing everyone in the village! Will we have to wait until that happens for this game to end?”

Du Lai slowly shook his head, “I still believe that the key is the corpse. The fact that she is fiercely protective about people touching her corpse must have a reason.”

“The reason …” Bai Youwei thought for a moment then hesitated, “Perhaps she… is afraid of being buried again with Li Laitzi, or the fear of being buried without a clear reason?”

Fu Miaoxue seemed surprised but inspired, “It might be, in her eyes, we are no different from the villagers. She has animosity towards the entire village and certainly would not trust us.”

Bai Youwei nodded, “That’s the idea.”

Fu Miaoxue pondered, “That means… as long as we can make her believe that we are here to help her, she could let us take her corpse away, and have it buried?”

Once the corpse is interred, wouldn’t the job of carrying the corpse stop?

The four people looked at each other, silent for a while.

Playing a game itself involves some degree of luck, sometimes when the thinking is accurate, the path is clear, making the game seem easy, but if the thinking is not right, then it’s like a road leading to a dead end.

Without verifying Fu Miaoxue’s words, no one could be certain if it is effective.

Bai Youwei said, “In line with the style of previous games, to make Mrs. Li believe in us, either we have to accomplish some task, or, by some item.

For example, if we find out the identity of Mrs. Li and shout her name, would she become calm?

Or, if we find a keepsake from the Li family, will she trust us?”

Shen Mo slightly nodded, “Tomorrow, let’s look for more clues in the village, and visit the Li family again to see if we can find something similar to a keepsake.”

Hid tone was calm, but his face was pale, likely affected by the injury on his back.

Bai Youwei worried, “Let’s rest for now. The rest could be discussed tomorrow.”

Fu Miaoxue felt pity for Du Lai’s foot, “Exactly, let’s rest for now, there’s no point in discussing it this late.”

She ushered Du Lai to leave and headed to the neighboring room.

As soon as the door closed, Fu Miaoxue anxiously whispered into Du Lai’s ear,

“I think I know how to beat the game!”

Du Lai looked at her in surprise, “You do?”

“Mhm~” Fu Miaoxue giggled, “Thanks to Bai Youwei’s hint. Didn’t she mention looking for a keepsake? I know what it is~”

She wrapped her arms around Du Lai’s neck and whispered even lower, “Didn’t you say she took many pieces of the puzzle from you? Huh, that cunning woman… just wait and see~ I’ll get back her puzzles and props! I’ll get back at her for you!”
