I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 810: Chapter 810: The Changes in the Stone Chamber

Every Stone Chamber had four doors, and Bai Youwei had walked through several rooms, all exactly alike. Even if someone tried to make a mark, it couldn’t change the fact that the Stone Chambers seemed like “clones” of each other.

Continuing like this, there was no way to determine whether the Stone Chamber she entered was a new one she had never entered before or an old one she had already been through.

Bai Youwei squatted in the middle of the Stone Chamber and reached out to touch the spot where the waste batteries had just been placed; the hard stone brick gave no indication of any mechanism.

So, where had the batteries gone?

And why had the “Z” inscribed by Shen Mo disappeared?

“Listen…” Asarina pressed her ear against the north door, “There are no sounds anymore.”

...

The previously approaching sounds of panting and footsteps had vanished completely as they entered this Stone Chamber.

Why was there such a big difference after just walking into another room?

As Bai Youwei pondered, she slowly said, “There are two possibilities right now…

The first possibility is that these Stone Chambers only appear to be connected, but in reality, they are in different spaces, like a Teleportation Array, so we can’t go back to the original room.

The second possibility is that once the doors of the Stone Chamber close, the state of the Chamber will reset. No matter what changes we make, it will revert to its original state.”

Bai Youwei felt somewhat irritated; this was the type of maze she hated the most: going in endless circles.

If time permitted, it wouldn’t matter to keep going in circles, but there was a monster that could approach at any moment within the maze.

“How about… we try not closing the door?” Asarina suggested hesitantly. “I can hold the door and prevent it from closing, you all go in first, then we’ll see what changes might happen in the Stone Chamber.”

“Could there be danger?” Chen Hui was worried. “What if it’s the first case, and the Stone Chamber teleports us, and we all are transported away, leaving only you behind? What then?”

Being left alone in the maze was obviously very dangerous.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Youwei said, “Chen Hui is right—letting you hold the door is dangerous. I’ll use a stone block to try.”

A stone block?

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. There was nothing in the Stone Chamber—where would they find a stone block?

Only Shen Mo and Asarina knew what Bai Youwei meant.

She took off the golden key from around her neck, opened the dollhouse, and saw Du Lai, Chen Hui, and Leonid staring at her. She explained, “It’s nothing, this is my prop.”

Then she shouted towards the dollhouse, “Xiaoxin! Help me bring a large stone block over!”

The dollhouse was built on top of a mountain, where stones were in abundance.

Pan Xiaoxin immediately went down the mountain to pry a large one loose. Together with Teacher Chang, they labored to carry it out, a hefty mountain rock still damp with moist soil at the bottom.

“Sister Weiwei, is this maze difficult?” Pan Xiaoxin looked around, seeing the dim and gloomy atmosphere of the Stone Chamber, and couldn’t help but rub his arms.

Teacher Chang also felt uncomfortable. “The chill is so strong, I’ll make you some ginger soup… Will you come back for lunch?”

Teacher Chang meant well, but his words really broke the immersion.

Their expressions complex, it felt as if they had suddenly moved from the set of a horror film to that of a domestic drama.

Bai Youwei asked, “Where’s Tan Xiao?”

“Asleep on the second floor,” Pan Xiaoxin replied helplessly. “He doesn’t talk much, doesn’t really pay attention to people, and he didn’t even have breakfast when called.”

Bai Youwei frowned. “Never mind him. You guys go back, I’ll call you if there’s something.”

Pan Xiaoxin and Chang Weicai left as told, Bai Youwei closed the door to the dollhouse, retracted the key, and when she looked up again, she found everyone staring at her dumbfounded.

“Why are you looking at me?” Bai Youwei touched her face, puzzled. “Carrying the stone block, that’s all.”

“Such a rare prop…” Leonid muttered, walking over and lifting the large stone block, asking, “Which door?”

Bai Youwei pointed towards one of the doors, which still faced south.

Shen Mo pushed open the south door, shone a flashlight inside, and looked back at them with a slight nod, “Safe, it’s the same room as before.”

Now, they were about to test what would happen to the previous Stone Chamber once they entered another one.
