I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 790: Chapter 790: The Balloon in the Wildlife Park

Ye Chong, Tian Li, Xiaoqi.

—Bear, leopard, wolf.

Bai Youwei was always wary of Ye Chong, not only because of the tact he employed as his facade, but also due to the seemingly infinite array of props that were at his disposal beneath this polite exterior.

She looked at the three men before her, took no more than a second to think, and then turned and ran!

Ye Chong barked, “Chase!”

Tian Li and Xiaoqi closed in from both sides, pursuing Bai Youwei! Bai Youwei dashed down the slope and fled into the depths of the forest!

...

She had participated in three labyrinthine adventures, yet her speed was still weaker than that of ordinary people. Tian Li, with his surprisingly quick agility, caught up in no time!

“Stay put!” Tian Li cried, lunging at her, seizing her shoulder.

Bai Youwei abruptly halted, spun around, and thrust her hand forth. Lodged on her wrist was the handcuff key, landing squarely on Tian Li’s chest!

Tian Li’s eyes widened in shock. Before he could speak, he vanished in an instant!

Xiaoqi, trailing behind, halted, gawking at Bai Youwei in a daze.

“Human instincts are really something…” Bai Youwei smiled at him, “Seeing me run, you naturally gave chase, without bothering to consider what kind of creature I truly am.”

Xiaoqi’s face went ashen white as he stepped back.

The corner of Bai Youwei’s mouth curved into a smirk.

“So, what truly are you?” Ye Chong emerged behind her, almost ghostlike. He asked slowly, “…A lion, a bear, or an elephant?”

Bai Youwei’s brows furrowed, turning cautiously. Blocked off by Xiaoqi on one side and Ye Chong on the other, her paths of retreat were cut off.

Distant footsteps were hastily advancing. It was Ya Chaohui and Along rushing over.

Bai Youwei spoke in a calm and eerie tone: “Regardless of what I am, do you still think you stand any chance of victory? There’s…only two of you left.”

Ye Chong sneered: “Even if all were left was me, I’d still be the only one to win.”

He snapped his fingers.

Xiaoqi’s face paled instantly, “No…don’t, I beg you, please don’t…”

Ye Chong had used some kind of prop, causing Xiaoqi’s body to start expanding! Like an inflating balloon, he grew and swelled larger and larger!

Bai Youwei watched in disbelief. Even though she considered Ye Chong to be an unscrupulous demon, she never imagined that he could be so cruel as to turn a living person into a prop!

“Don’t misunderstand, this is actually a very good prop.”

Ye Chong smiled lightly as he watched Xiaoqi, swollen beyond recognition. He said casually:

“He won’t feel any pain, but he will turn into a balloon in a short time. Then he will float up and effortlessly cross a river, a mountain…”

Of course, Xiaoqi couldn’t float – there were too many trees in the forest. He got wedged awkwardly between them. His clothes burst and his skin was stretched to the limit, shimmering under the light, with blue veins throbbing underneath.

Bai Youwei could barely recognize Xiaoqi’s face, only tracking him by his agonized wailing and pleading.

“Have you ever tried finding the bug in the props of the game?” Ye Chong sidled up next to Bai Youwei and whispered in her ear, “If you haven’t, then you should definitely give it a shot. It’s a lot of fun… It’s less a bug and more of an added feature bestowed by the game. Take this balloon for example, what do you think will happen if it encounters a high-temperature object?”

Bai Youwei blinked, her expression changing slightly as she quickly raised her wrist and ordered, “Retreat! Get out of here! Ya Chaohui, Along, don’t come here!!!”

Before she could finish her sentence, she was abruptly choked by Ye Chong, who dragged her away!

At the same time, Ye Chong threw something far away! It was sparking, sharp-edged, and aimed inexorably at the human balloon!

Bai Youwei instinctively closed her eyes!

——Boom!!!

A massive explosion resounded through the whole forest, as if hundreds of hydrogen balloons had been ignited! The shrubs and trees went up in flames!

Bai Youwei opened her eyes, seeing only a sea of fire in the distance!
