I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 198: Temporary Safety



The snake seemed to have sniffed the stench inside the house, with its head trying to burrow in. Unable to do so, its body started violently slamming against the exterior walls, creating loud booming sounds!

The constant tremors made it difficult for Pan Xiaoxin and Chang Weicai to stand up!

The two barely managed to roll and crawl their way back to the kitchen, hastily closing the door in one breath without daring to rest!

Even after closing the door, they didn’t dare to let their guard down. The old and the young still strained to the limit to brace the door, fearful of the snake breaking in!

Bai Youwei sat frowning, her eyes coldly glancing at the man on the ground—

So far, they knew nothing about him—name, age, identity… Everything was unclear. He seemed to be in a state of terrified confusion, but in reality, he was shrewd enough not to divulge any vital information.

Either he was genuinely clueless, knowing nothing at all.

Or, he had some ulterior motives…

But now, as they were all “fellows in adversity,” she couldn’t figure out why they would have any reason to sabotage each other?

While pondering, Bai Youwei gently stroked the rabbit in her arms.

Her first time using “One-Tenth of Me” went rather smoothly, but the battery life was disappointingly short. Dealing with a few dozen monsters had consumed more than half of the power. With the small amount remaining, she wasn’t sure if she could kill the beast outside.

If it came to the worst, she would have to use the doll…

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel that her tools were rather inefficient. There were too many meant for defence and few for attack!

While she was worried, the slamming sounds suddenly ceased.

Although it had stopped, everyone was still on edge, not speaking, nor moving, vigilant against the snake that might break in at any moment…

In the silence, they heard distinct sounds.

The sound of slithering was getting quieter.

The tremors were also growing weaker and weaker.

It was moving away…

Relieved, everyone shot a glance at each other and finally drew a deep breath.

—They were safe, at least for now.

“Weiwei?” Shen Mo’s voice came from outside the door, “Are you guys okay?”

Upon hearing that, Chang Weicai took a deep breath. Now, they were genuinely relieved.

He opened the door to see Shen MO and Tan Xiao standing outside, both blood-stained. Tan Xiao’s injuries were particularly noticeable.

Shen MO was taken aback when he saw Bai Youwei, half of her skirt soaked in red.

“Where are you injured?” Shen MO came over and asked.

“I’m okay.” Bai Youwei shook her head gently. Frowning, she asked him, “What about you? That monster came by just now. Did it notice you?”

“No, we caught a smaller monster and used it to lead the snake away.” Shen Mo’s gaze drifted past her and fixated on the man under the operation table for two seconds, ‘ …the smell of blood here is too strong, let’s talk somewhere else.”

Bai Youwei appeared to realise something. She also glanced lightly in that direction, “Hmm… let’s go somewhere else. The smell is so sickening I feel like throwing up.”

The group left the restaurant and settled in a similar shop next door, not too far away.

Tan Xiao wasn’t feeling well from his injuries and didn’t mind the shop’s unappealing furniture. He plopped down and lifted a part of his clothing to reveal his wound.

A large piece of skin on his back to side had been grazed. The wound wasn’t deep, but it covered a large area and was blood-soaked. It stung fiercely whenever his T-shirt rubbed against it, so he had lifted his shirt up to chest height.

Bai Youwei looked at it and looked up to ask the two, “How did you get this?”

“I was bit while running.” Tan Xiao replied, upset, “Shen MO and I were following behind that monster just fine. But unexpectedly, it made a sudden turn! It spotted Shen MO and me instantly. Luckily, we hid quickly!… However, we were still scraped by its teeth. Damn, what rotten luck!”

“What rotten luck? You’re lucky not to have been swallowed alive!” Bai Youwei retorted irritably.

She turned to Shen MO and asked, “Why did it suddenly turn? Are there any regular patterns to the monster’s movements?”

Shen MO frowned and replied, “It encountered another ‘snake’, that’s why it turned suddenly..”
