I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Marking

“But in that mural room, all of us searched but didn’t see any weapons,” Asarina said. “If it’s a key prop, shouldn’t it be placed somewhere conspicuous? …Just like those locks, so obvious, clearly telling us that there are 12 keys in this maze.”

“You are right, important props should indeed be placed in obvious positions,” Bai Youwei spoke slowly. “But what if someone hid it?”

Hid … it?

Who would hide such a crucial prop?

Everyone’s gaze, unwittingly, turned towards the two people in the corner.

Mark and Dylan, realizing this, hurriedly denied it: “No, no, it wasn’t us! We haven’t hidden anything! We even gave you all the keys!”

...

Bai Youwei thought for a moment and said, “Let’s search them.”

Shen Mo and Du Lai stepped forward to search them.

They were looking for, not a foldable fruit knife, not a petite dagger, but a sword!

Such a long and straight cold weapon, almost impossible to conceal on one’s body.

After a cursory search, Shen Mo and Du Lai simultaneously looked at the Magic Bag on Dylan’s waist.

The Magic Bag could produce an unending supply of bread and spring water, but after all, a bag is a container, one that can hold objects.

Du Lai first felt the outside of the bag, somewhat disappointed, but he still didn’t give up, reaching into the mouth of the bag, groping around.

Still, he found nothing.

The two turned back and shook their heads slightly at their companions.

Bai Youwei frowned, if it was not on Mark or Dylan, could it be on Slade? …But when Slade was attacked by the Minotaur, he didn’t put up any resistance. If he really had the sword, why not take it out?

Or, was she wrong in her speculation, and the Magic Sword in the mural simply didn’t exist?

No…

No, if it didn’t exist, then why were those murals there at all?

“…Maybe, the sword is still in the maze,” Bai Youwei bit her lip and grasped Shen Mo’s hand, “Let’s keep looking.”

Shen Mo clasped her hand in return, comforting her: “Yeah, let’s look again.”

His demeanor was calm, as if he was not affected by anything, as if last night’s events were just a dream.

Bai Youwei felt uncertain.

She hoped he was alright, yet worried that he was just putting on a brave face, just to keep her from worrying.

…

After packing up their belongings, everyone set off again.

Still heading east, still using a chick to lead the way, they reached a dead end after just one Stone Chamber; the door to the east wouldn’t open.

Bai Youwei then chose the north side, taking advantage of the fact that the Minotaur was not close to them, she wanted to move through as many spaces as possible, to figure out how many rooms there were here exactly.

However, after moving just one space north, they encountered a teleportation point.

Her chick, with a whoosh, disappeared.

Bai Youwei thought for a moment, placed a key in her hand down, and said, “Let’s go around to the south for one space and then continue.”

“You’re just going to leave the key here?” Asarina exclaimed in surprise. “Don’t we need to collect 12 keys?”

Bai Youwei shook the map in her hand, “As long as we record the map, we can always come back for the keys. What’s more important now is marking the place. We have enough keys, and each key has its own distinct color, they’re suitable for marking.”

“But what if we can’t come back?!” Mark blurted out, unable to help himself. “We’ve already collected 5 keys, almost half! If you throw one away now and can’t find it again later, you will regret it!”

Bai Youwei placed the key in her hand on the ground like an arrow and adjusted the angle so it pointed towards the room with the teleportation point.

“Teleportation points are divided into one-way and two-way types. Just now, the Minotaur was able to teleport from afar to the teleportation point near us, which means the teleportation points here are all two-way …” Bai Youwei’s voice was unusually calm, “Before the keys are collected, they can’t be useless. At least now, this key can help us understand where the Minotaur might appear next, to attack us.”
