I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 857 - : Maze Number 1
Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Maze Number 1
The voice was extremely hoarse, as if it was a scream made with the last ounce of energy that Shen Mo and Bai Youwei initially couldn’t tell who it was.
The outside was noisy, followed by Tan Xiao’s clamor, “What are you doing?! What do you want to do?! If you want to see the Boss, make it clear what you’re here for first!”
Teacher Cheng was shouting outside, “Don’t get physical! Everyone, calm down! …Ah, what’s happened here?”
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo stepped quickly outside and saw that Uncle Shen and Tan Xiao had stopped Du Lai. Fortunately, no rash actions had taken place.
Although Du Lai had barged in forcefully, he was in bad shape. Not having seen him for just a few days, he had lost a significant amount of weight; he looked as though he’d been tortured!
Bai Youwei exclaimed, “Du Lai? Have you escaped from the maze?”
Du Lai’s eyes were wide open, filled with bloodshot veins, “Bai Youwei… Save Miaoxue, quickly… hurry into the maze and save Miaoxue! …”
Bai Youwei was confused by Du Lai, “Fu Miaoxue? Didn’t she come out with you?”
Shen Mo frowned and said, “If you could come out, why didn’t you bring her with you?”
“We got separated.” Du Lai said in agony, gasping for air. “We encountered Maze Number 1… each person enters a different scenario. I made it out, but she didn’t…”
Bai Youwei understood, but became even more confused, furrowing her brows, “You said Maze Number 1 presents different scenarios for everyone, so even if I went in, I wouldn’t encounter Fu Miaoxue. What use is there in coming to find me?
Besides, the maze is certainly very dangerous. Why would I risk my life for Fu Miaoxue?
Du Lai, I can understand how you feel right now, but you’d better calm down and think of another method. Asking me to go save her is impossible.”
Unmoved, Du Lai fixed his reddened gaze on Bai Youwei, “I can trade all my items with you! As long as you rescue her, we can give you anything!”
“I don’t need them.” Bai Youwei knitted her brows, looking at Du Lai perplexedly, “It’s quality, not quantity that matters with items. I’m not short of them at all. Du Lai, I think you’re desperately grasping at straws. Stop the madness. If you truly want to save Fu Miaoxue, you should sit down now, have a glass of water, and wait until your mind is clear to consider what to do.”

Shen Mo grabbed Du Lai by the collar and forcibly pushed him onto the living room sofa. He then clutched Du Lai’s wrist, feeling his frantic pulse.
Shen Mo’s brow furrowed even more upon seeing the dark circles under Du Lai’s eyes and his pale lips, and he couldn’t help but ask, “You’ve been in the maze multiple times, and your constitution should be stronger than the average person. Why are you so drained? What exactly is in Maze Number 1?”
Du Lai hung his head, clutching his own hair tightly, “…It’s dreams! Chen Hui and I both got trapped in our own dreams! We couldn’t tell dreams from reality, constantly looping through the same scene! Without food, without rest!”
“You mentioned Chen Hui?” Bai Youwei couldn’t help but ask, “Is Chen Hui out, too?”
Du Lai looked up at Bai Youwei, “She’s in the medical area. When I came over to find you guys, she still hadn’t woken up…”
Chen Hui was not as physically robust as Du Lai; truly, if she had been stuck in a looping scene without sleep or rest for three or four days, her body surely couldn’t take it.
Bai Youwei asked again, “Apart from you and Chen Hui, what about the others? Has no one else made it out?”
“None…” Du Lai closed his eyes and replied hoarsely, “Miaoxue, and three substitutes recruited from the rest hall, none have come out.”
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo exchanged glances, neither of them spoke.
If Maze Number 1 was each person’s own dreamscape, then taking any number of substitutes in would be of no help.
Du Lai was utterly desperate, holding his head and whispering, “I want to save her… but the maze can only be entered once. I have already come out of Maze Number 1, I can’t go back in to find her… Bai Youwei, I know you must have a way, only you can save her now!”
