I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 867 - Set Off That Night
Chapter 867: Chapter 867 Set Off That Night
After all the twists and turns, it was Bai Youwei who went.
Even if Shen Mo wanted to go, it was no use, because the choice was in Du Lai’s hands.
Seeing that the two hadn’t returned after a long time, Shen Mingyuan turned his head to look at Du Lai and asked with a smile, “Since I am the senior here, shouldn’t I be the one to go? The young have their own affairs to attend to.”
“Sorry…” Du Lai replied indifferently, “This isn’t like taking a number at a bank, where I care about who’s first or last. I only choose the person with the greatest chance of winning.”
“Is that so…” Shen Mingyuan sighed softly, “That’s a pity. I had thought I might have this opportunity.”
Du Lai smiled and looked at Shen Mingyuan, “However, I still have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t have been willing to enter the labyrinth.”
Shen Mingyuan fell silent for a moment, looking in the direction the two had left, “She should go. The great battle is imminent; it’s only right to see one’s family before parting.”
“Perhaps for her, that person doesn’t deserve to be called ‘family’…” said Du Lai coldly.
Shen Mingyuan shook his head with a smile, “You young people, always so free and easy, thinking you can cut off whatever you want just like that.”
“Because some things are indeed more fragile than you imagine,” Du Lai looked down, “With some people, once you turn away, you can never find them again.”
…
Bai Youwei entered the maze that evening.
Why so urgent? Because Du Lai couldn’t wait even a minute longer.
He handed over all the props he had to Bai Youwei and drew her a map.

“I’ve seen it with the Magic Crystal Shard, Miaoxue is at her family’s home. She lived there for twenty years, so it’s quite normal for the maze to choose it as the scene for the dream.”
Bai Youwei took the map, quite speechless, “Geez, this is the first time I’ve seen a home where you need a map to find your way.”
The floor plan showed a veritable castle complete with gardens, stables, and even a helipad!
It seemed that Fu Miaoxue’s family was very wealthy, much richer than her own and Shen Mo’s families combined.
Shen Mo looked at the map for a while, skeptically saying, “This doesn’t look like a building in our country.”
“That’s correct, this is a manor overseas.” Du Lai explained to them, “Miaoxue’s grandfather is a well-known crime boss internationally, and his den is extremely concealed. The manor is usually managed by a Butler, and besides Miaoxue, there lives a family teacher named Qiao Na, and other servants and maids you needn’t worry about.”
Then, Du Lai took out the crystal shard and reiterated, “This prop can only be used three times; I’ve used it twice already. The last one I’m saving for you, when you bring Miaoxue out, it’ll be yours.”
Bai Youwei snorted, “No wonder you were so sure Fu Miaoxue wouldn’t come out earlier. You’ve already used the prop to see, haven’t you? How is she doing in the dream state?”
Du Lai frowned slightly, “…She’s merged into the dream. I suspect her memory cycle is much longer than mine and Chen Hui’s.”
Bai Youwei asked, “Does it make a difference?”
“Of course,” Du Lai said, “The shorter the memory cycle, the easier it is to detect the anomaly. Chen Hui’s dream cycles about every four hours, mine about every eight, Miaoxue’s could far exceed that.”
“Got it.” Bai Youwei sighed, “Anyway, I’ll play it by ear once I’m in there.”
“One more thing,” Du Lai reminded her, “In the dream, all the props I had disappeared. I’m not sure if your props will disappear after you enter, so just in case, it’s best to leave some important props in the real world.”
His words were also implying that if she failed, her props would disappear with her.
Bai Youwei thought for a moment, then took off the key to the dollhouse, stood on her tiptoes, and hung it around Shen Mo’s neck.
