I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 506 - : Repeat Rule

Chapter 506: Chapter 506: Repeat Rule

The Ghost Fire repeated the rules again:

“A woman from the Li family transports corpses from the east of the village to the west, and from the west back to the east, day after day without rest. If you can make her stop, you win.”

Bai Youwei was speechless, “As an Inspector, don’t you plan on translating this?”

The Ghost Fire remained silent.

Of course, it could have explained the rules more plainly, but it suspected that Bai Youwei’s repeated inquiries were a scheme to find a loophole in the game.

And it could not give her such an opportunity!

This was no ordinary player. Therefore, it had to be extra cautious not to make the same mistakes that the other Inspectors had made.

The Ghost Fire cautiously backed away a bit.

Bai Youwei was flabbergasted, “Why are you standing so far away?”

The Ghost Fire replied, “The rule presentation has finished, and… good luck…”

With that, the flame trembled and suddenly disappeared, leaving only a string of tiny shimmering clusters of fire, casting a faint glow along the path.

Bai Youwei was speechless again: “This is so irresponsible!”

Du Lai’s girlfriend commented, “It seems like it ran away in panic…”

Du Lai added, “That’s the Inspector’s style, to appear and disappear unpredictably. Perhaps it will reappear soon.”

Shen Mo frowned and glanced at the distant clusters of fire, his voice was stern but determined, “Let’s follow the Ghost Fire. The real game area should be up ahead.”

The four of them fell silent and exchanged glances before following the direction indicated by the clusters of fire.

The tiny greenish clusters of fire floated in the air. As they passed each cluster of fire, one went out. Unwittingly, they found themselves deep in the dense forest.

The light rain continued to fall. But inside the dense forest, which was protected by the dense foliage, it was drier than outside.

With the visibility being poor, Shen Mo manoeuvred the wheelchair carefully and slowly said,

“The rules of this round are somewhat vague, but it seems to be clear that it’s not a competitive game.”

If it’s not competitive, then they could let down their guard for now.

Bai Youwei was very dissatisfied and grumbled, “Not just vague, it’s too vague! An ancient character can have multiple meanings, which could easily lead to word games. Who is ‘it’ referring to in ‘it never rests’? Does ‘it’ refers to the corpse transporting woman or someone else? And what does ‘it’ refer to in ‘make it stop’? Does it mean to stop the corpse transporting, or just to make the woman stop? Instead of explaining, the Inspector just fled!”

“The ancient text needs to be interpreted within its wider context and background.” Shen Mo tried to soothe her, “Perhaps when we get there, we will understand.”

Bai Youwei thought for a while and turned her head towards Du Lai’s girlfriend, “Hey, what’s the story of the Min opera that you just mentioned?”

The woman in black was complaining to Du Lai about being blindfolded and barely being able to see the path. She was taken aback by Bai Youwei’s question and lost her footing, almost falling.

She was infuriated and tried to pull off her blindfold but was stopped by Du Lai.

“Miaoxue.” Du Lai called her name seriously, “Stop tampering.”

The woman in black was even more angered, “It’s pitch black here! How can I move with this blindfold on? I’m not on a wheelchair! Carry me if you can!”

After a brief pause, Du Lai bent over, “Alright, I’ll carry you.”

“Get lost!” Irritated, the woman in black pushed him roughly. With an overwhelming force, Du Lai fell, covered in mud, in a very embarrassing state.

“Am I so unbearable to look at?! Then why did you save me?! Why did you save me?! Wasn’t it better for me to die?!!”

She was having a tantrum and screeched:

“I’m telling you! I want to make a scene! I’m not afraid if they see me!!!”

“Miaoxue!” Upon hearing her name, Du Lai got up quickly trying to stop her, but was a step too late!

The wet blindfold was forcefully torn off, revealing the woman’s true face—
