I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

A clatter of bangs rang out!

Wood splintered, a cat’s screech was drawn out and the harrowing sound of scratching felt as if it were right above their heads!

They could keenly perceive, the sharp, metallic, clattering sound of the cat’s claws scraping against the ship’s body!

Its long claws were lodged in the entrance, shattering the deck! It crushed the stairs, its large head pressed against the narrow passage, attempting to squeeze in!

“Will it come in?!” Tan Xiao asked anxiously, a hint of panic in his voice.

“No.” Bai Youwei frowned, her voice steady, “If the information provided by the game files is correct, once the cat is woken up during the day, as long as it can’t see any players within its field of view, its rage meter will quickly deplete, and then it will go back to sleep on the carousel. It has already hovered outside for a while now, it should be leaving soon…”

As she finished speaking, suddenly everything outside went quiet.

Shen Fei questioned doubtfully, “It left?”

All was silent.

Quiet all around.

Tan Xiao tiptoed towards the exit, intending to investigate the situation.

Suddenly! The ship jolted even more violently!

Tan Xiao fell flat on his back!

This collision was no longer from above, but from the side—

A series of thuds ensued!

Each one louder than the last!

Each collision increasingly brutal!

With each impact, the ship’s position shifted, tilting to the other side!

“What’s it doing?!” Tan Xiao cried in astonishment.

“It knows it doesn’t have much time left, and wants to knock us into the lake before it falls asleep!” Bai Youwei gripped the doorframe tightly to stop herself from sliding down the tilting floor, “Hold on tight! This is not a real ship, if it falls into the water, it will sink quickly! Be careful not to be hit by things on the ship!”

Even before she finished speaking, with the last violent bump, the ship turned over by 90 degrees—

Everything inside the cabin—tables, chairs, stools, wine casks props, all hurtled towards them!

Bai Youwei was hit by some scattered decorations and slipped down, but was caught in mid-air by Shen Fei!

The ship was still tilting, almost fully capsized at 180 degrees!

Unable to brace herself in time, a heavy wooden table collapsed onto Shen Fei’s back!

Both hit the ceiling hard!

Bai Youwei felt like her back was about to break from the pain, made even worse by Shen Fei’s body pressing on top of her.

“Shen Fei!” She pushed him hard, only to realize that he was unconscious. He had been hit on the head and had passed out.

Water was rapidly filling the cabin.

“Tan Xiao! Tan Xiao!” Bai Youwei shouted out Tan Xiao’s name.

After a few seconds, Tan Xiao came running over in a state of total chaos, startling at the sight of the unconscious Shen Fei, “What happened to him?! Is he dead???”

“If we don’t leave now, we’re really going be dead!” Bai Youwei spoke quickly, “You get to the exit quickly and then find something to break the third window on the left side of the pirate ship! Save me and Shen Fei!”

Tan Xiao responded, “Aren’t you two coming with me?!”

“We’re too slow, by the time we reach the exit, the ship will have sunk!” Bai Youwei urged him anxiously, “Hurry up!!!”

The water had already reached their ankles, Tan Xiao couldn’t delay any longer, and ran towards the exit in a panic.

The stairway was blocked by fallen objects, and moving these things out of the way consumed even more time.

The water level rose rapidly, quickly reaching his calves. The lake water was turbid, and the lights around them flickered. In a state of panic, Tan Xiao finally found the exit, took a deep breath and plunged into the water—

Just as he was out of the hatch, he could already feel the lake’s sludge below. He hurriedly picked up the pace, kicking his legs! He swam far away instantly!

Meanwhile, behind him, the pirate ship was heavily pressed down, with the deck and the hatch both deeply submerged in the mud.

Tan Xiao turned around to look at the sunken ship underwater, thinking to himself, this is bad!

Weiwei had mentioned the window on the left, but left… which side was left again?
