The game settlement finished, and the Inspector and the wheel of fortune disappeared before their eyes.
So did those gruesome metal seats.
They found themselves back on the street, the sky as blue as ever, trees still lush, and the fire built in front of the tents crackling away.
The only difference was the addition of 16 mannequins on the road.
Feige gazed dazed at these dolls.
Some of those within had willingly joined his team after the incident in Hangzhou. The bond between them wasn’t particularly deep. But among them were also some of his closest friends!
He couldn’t quite put a label on the feeling he was experiencing.
Neither fury nor sorrow sufficed to describe it.
His eyes reddened, and, fatigued, he motioned for some of his men to help him load the dolls into the vehicle. They had to find these dolls a resting place, so they wouldn’t be left out, exposed to the elements.
On the side, Su Man, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn’t help but throw herself into Li Li’s arms and hug him tightly.
“Why did you only come out now!!!” She barked, the choked sob in her voice evident.
Li Li was taken aback, his face slightly embarrassed.
He could argue a few points when she was being aggressive, but he was at a loss on how to handle her when she suddenly turned so feeble.
Zhu Shu, who was standing next to Li Li, seeing the two embrace, softly stepped aside without a word.
Yan Qingwen came over to soothe Su Man’s feelings as Li Li explained what happened inside the game to her. Gradually, Su Man calmed down.
At this moment, Feige and his team had already loaded everything into their vehicles and were preparing to leave.
Yan Qingwen warned them, “Hangzhou, without its maze, will soon attract the game. This place is not for long-term stay; you’d better make early plans.”
Feige nodded, but said nothing.
Perhaps his heart had grown numb, and his demeanor seemed to lapse into despair.
If not staying in Hangzhou, where else could they go? … There was no safe place left in this world…
As everyone watched the convoy drive away, varying emotions swirled within their hearts.
The game was strange like that; it could incite hatred and also dissolve enmity.
After all, what was more important than staying alive?
Li Li, watching the vehicles disappear into the distance, thought for a moment, then sidled up to Tan Xiao and asked, “What did the Inspector give you just now?”
Tan Xiao shot him a wary look. “Why? You want it? ——Not giving!”
Li Li was at a loss for words, but he didn’t lose his temper. After answering over thirty elementary school math problems in the game, he had a new understanding of Tan Xiao!
As a respected doctoral scientist of a prestigious research institute, how could he let a primary school student get to him? Right?
“I just want to look at what it is,” Li Li said. “There are so many people here, it’s not like you think I’d steal it.”
Tan Xiao looked him up and down, then scoffed dismissively, “Ha! You couldn’t steal it even if you wanted to.”
Li Li:
That’s why he hated kids. They were such brats!
“Here, let brother Xiao show you~” Tan Xiao opened his hand to reveal the gold coin.
Strangely, this tiny gold coin had an indescribable appeal, solid to the touch, glistening gold in color, it caught the attention of those around them.
Bai Youwei also watched, curious about the use of the gold coin.
“There seems to be words on it.” Li Li adjusted his glasses, “What does it say?”
Tan Xiao squinted, “…There are words, they are really small…”
He held the gold coin up to his eyes, trying to make out the tiny, delicate characters, reading them one word one sentence at a time:
“Welcome…to…the…doll…”
An ominous feeling surged in Bai Youwei’s heart, her complexion paling, she shouted, “Tan Xiao! Stop reading!”
“House…”
As the last word left Tan Xiao’s mouth, the gold coin suddenly shone brightly!
