I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 206: 206 Xiaoxin

After pondering for a while, Bai Youwei shook her head, “I doubt it. The two mazes we’ve encountered seem to require teamwork to get through. During the mirror task, teammates needed to serve as a warning otherwise one could easily fall into a trap. Also, in the last maze, if no one had diverted the attention of the snake, we wouldn’t have made it out easily.”

“Even if the number of people who pass the maze is less than the number of puzzle pieces, it’s not a big deal,” said Shen MO, “Don’t forget that we had a sequence number when we left the maze. If the system aims to ensure fairness, it can distribute the pieces according to the order of exiting. For instance, this time five of us passed the maze, but only the first person got the puzzle piece.”

Bai Youwei added, “Not only did our exit sequence have numbers, the mazes themselves had numbers too, like number 2, number 7… Does that hold some special significance?”

Tan Xiao felt overwhelmed, yelling, “What’s going on? Initially, the plan was to gather puzzle pieces in Hangzhou, but the system only gave us one. What

Pan Xiaoxin knew the puzzle pieces were essential. Listening to their discussion, he couldn’t help but look down at the piece in his hands.

He got the piece because Tan Xiao was the first to push him towards the exit.

This puzzle piece, ought to belong to everyone.

Pan Xiaoxin raised his head, hesitated, and asked the grown-ups, “Who… who should this piece go to?”

Bai Youwei, in a bad mood, glanced at him dismissively, “Keep it.”

“Huh?” Pan Xiaoxin widened his eyes in surprise, unable to believe what he’d heard, “Can… Can I really keep it?”

However, Bai Youwei paid no attention to him.

Bai Youwei took Shen MO’s hand and complained, “Those five you mentioned must have been the second batch to pass the maze. If not for them, we would have gotten at least three pieces this time. So annoying!”

Tan Xiao was also irked, “MO bro, what should we do? If they keep getting ahead of us, won’t we be stuck with leftovers?”

“But how did they determine the direction of the maze?” Teacher Cheng pondered, “There must be mazes in other cities too, we don’t necessarily have to follow their path…

Pan Xiaoxin:

The overlooked child in the corner watched them.

“Ah right.” Tan Xiao remembered something, “MO bro, someone’s trying to rob us.”

Shen MO frowned imperceptibly at the word ‘robbery’?

The subject jumped rather dramatically.

” Xiaoxin mentioned it.” Tan Xiao looked at Pan Xiaoxin, “Right? Before we got out, you said something like that?”

Everyone turned to look at Pan Xiaoxin.

He had wanted some attention when they were ignoring him. Now that he was getting it, Pan Xiaoxin felt rather nervous.

With a taut face, he nodded, looking somewhat worried and careful, while observing Shen MO’s expression.

Like students peeking at the teacher while handing in their exams.

Shen MO’s face remained unreadable as he asked Xiaoxin, “Was it the gang led by someone called Brother Fei?”

Pan Xiaoxin pursed his lips and nodded again.

Shen MO asked, “How do you communicate with them?”

‘ Pan Xiaoxin touched his collar, “Using this… whistle, they bought guns and ammunition from someone named Yan. They told me to blow the whistle once I got out, then they would come… and shoot at you… and then, steal our props…”

His voice got quieter with each word, until he finally lowered his head so much that his chin touched his chest, not daring to look up.

“Damn! They’re pretty ruthless!” Tan Xiao couldn’t help but curse, “MO bro, we gotta show these guys we’re not to be messed with!”

“Whether we show them color or not, there’s no rush,” Bai Youwei lazily glanced at Xiaoxin, “But, I bet they have a lot of gasoline stored away right, Xiaoxin?”Pan Xiaoxin shivered.
