Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Why Is That?
Bai Youwei was annoyed by his rambling, “Shut up!”
Shen Fei was still panicking: “Or should we use fire? … No, starting a fire would take time, and not many items inside the Crystal Tower can easily burn, it’s hard to start a fire…”
“Shut up!!!” Bai Youwei shouted irritably.
Shen Fei started, standing frozen on the spot, staring blankly at her.
Bai Youwei roughly grabbed his hand, shoved a lighter into it, and ordered, “Go to the jungle adventure side and start a fire. The bigger the fire, the better!”
Shen Fei was stupefied.
Why the jungle adventure side?
— If it’s about dealing with Mary, the Crystal Tower should be chosen;
— If it’s about dealing with the puppet cat, the Ghost Ship should be chosen!
Why the jungle adventure?!
But Bai Youwei didn’t look at him anymore. She picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke quickly: “I’m off to the Crystal Tower now, you guys buy me some time! I’m not very mobile, Mary won’t rush to deal with me. What she wants most right now is to kill everyone before day arrives! So, you don’t need to worry about my safety. Just try to distance yourselves as far as possible! The further the doll and the cat are from the Crystal Tower, the better!”
After finishing speaking, she turned around to find Shen Fei still there. She immediately widened her eyes and asked, “Why haven’t you gone yet?!”
Shen Fei stuttered: “Why…why we should go to the jungle and start a fire…”
“Are you some alien baby?!” Bai Youwei said irritably, “Your injury hasn’t healed, you can’t run or jump, and can’t trick the cat or the doll like others. Of course you can only distract Mary by starting a fire!”
Shen Fei’s face turned red, “What baby? That’s a bit too much…”
“What are you blushing for?” Bai Youwei was speechless. She pushed him twice, “Hurry up and go!”
She packed up the map herself, wheeled towards the Crystal Tower, and didn’t pay any more attention to Shen Fei.
Shen Fei hesitated on spot, he really wanted to catch up with her and ask: If distractions were needed, wouldn’t it be better to set fire to the grand theatre instead? Why does it have to be the jungle adventure?
Why?
Why?
He remembered Bai Youwei scolding him as “alien baby”…
With an embarrassed bow of his head, Shen Fei hastily headed for the jungle adventure.
…
Bai Youwei safely made her way to the Mysterious Crystal Tower.
Although the wheelchair wasn’t too slow, once inside the Crystal Tower, there were upward spiraling stairs which required her to leave the wheelchair.
And she did not have a crutch.
The crutch had been lost somewhere long ago, and if she wanted to get up, she had only her less-than-reliable legs to rely on and would have to climb up the banister step by step.
Even Mary probably hadn’t made a move against her because of this.
Bai Youwei studied her surroundings while pulling out her walkie-talkie.
“I’m at the Crystal Tower now. There are many crystal ornaments and some cartoon pirate sculptures here. Mary might be hiding at the top. I am now going up. How is the situation on your end?”
“…I’m starting the fire. It’s almost…done…” Shen Fei’s halting voice transmitted over.
Bai Youwei frowned, “I wasn’t asking you, where’s your brother?!”
After a while, Shen Mo’s voice came from the walkie-talkie: “Yu Yaqing and I are in the Ghost Ship. The Puppet Cat is smashing against the ship, trying to knock us into the lake.”
His voice was calm, without a trace of panic. If she hadn’t heard the puppet cat’s banging noises, she would find it hard to imagine that he was in danger.
Bai Youwei raised her head, looking upward along the staircase and took a deep breath.
“Everyone, hold off the doll and the cat for me, ten minutes.” She looked up towards the top of the tower, “In ten minutes, we will definitely win.”
