I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 336: 336: Two Hints

There were seven rooms lined up along the long corridor, each with a plaque on the door bearing their names.

After Bai Youwei entered her room, she first checked the walls, floor, and ceiling for any compartments. Then she examined the furniture such as tables, chairs, wardrobes, beds, and so on. Lastly, she inspected smaller items like candlesticks, mirrors, and jewelry boxes.

Finding nothing unusual, she locked the door and carefully took out a golden key from her collar

As long as you hold the key and turn it clockwise half a circle, you can open the dollhouse in any space.

Although she did not plan to hide immediately, she was curious whether the dollhouse could be normally used in the game?

Bai Youwei looked around, her gaze landing on the door of a standing wardrobe carved with a rose pattern.

She wheeled over, placed one end of the golden key against the wardrobe door, turned it clockwise, slowly twisted it half a circle…

Click.

The lock was opened.

Bai Youwei felt a sudden relief.

The dollhouse could also be used in the game! This was undoubtedly good news!

Opening the wardrobe door also opened the door to the dollhouse.

Seeing the hallway and living room, she wanted to go in, but found she couldn’t.

Bai Youwei reached out again to touch it. It was as if there was a barrier blocking her from outside.

A cold system alert rang in her mind:

“Players are in the game, and they cannot leave the instance.”

Bai Youwei:

She frowned and withdrew her hand in displeasure.

It seemed that while the dollhouse could be opened, she could not enter it.

Bai Youwei pouted, her mood not so good.

At this time, there were light knocks on the door from outside.

She knitted her brows, slowly wheeling herself around and towards the door. She opened it.

Zhu Shu and Su Man were standing outside.

“What’s up?” Bai Youwei frowned.

“We wanted to ask…” Zhu Shu pursed her lips, choosing her words carefully, “ask about the game. What are your thoughts on it?”

Bai Youwei looked at her, then at Su Man, sighed a little annoyedly, and stepped aside, saying, “Come in first.”

Zhu Shu and Su Man immediately entered and closed the door.

“We mainly want to confirm whether only one of us can survive in this game?” Zhu Shu asked, observing Bai Youwei’s face for any signs or hints. “…If only one can survive, Su Man and I are willing to give up.”

“Give up?” Bai Youwei chuckled, “What do you mean? Are you going to kill yourselves?”

The two of them looked at each other, their eyes firm.

“No.” Su Man said, “We know you have the greatest chance of winning. So, rather than killing each other until we’re unrecognizable, it’s better to cooperate. Zhu Shu and I can help you become the ‘last bride’.”

Bai Youwei was a bit taken aback.

Or rather, she was surprised.

She had not expected Su Man and Zhu Shu to stand together, nor did she expect… that these two suddenly had a sacrificing spirit?

Women, they are truly a mystery.

Bai Youwei gave a faint smile, lowered her eyelids, saying, “There’s no need.”

Zhu Shu and Su Man were slightly stunned.

“The inspector’s hints were already very clear.” Bai Youwei said languidly, “The first hint was to become the last bride; the second hint was Bluebeard —

Bluebeard murdered one wife after another, married one bride after another, who would be the last bride? Ah, unless he dies, there will never be a last.”

Zhu Shu’s eyes widened a bit, “You mean… as long as we kill Bluebeard, we can all become the last bride? We don’t need to kill each other until only one remains?”

“Yes, at least that’s what I think.” Bai Youwei nodded, “Just like the fairytale, Bluebeard was killed, and the woman inherits all of his possessions, and lived a new life thereafter.”

“If that’s the case, it’s too easy then!” A smile appeared on Su Man’s face, “There are seven of us, can’t we kill one man?!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Youwei sighed quietly, “…The games of that inspector, they’re never easy.”
