I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 538 - : Stop Playing Dead

Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Stop Playing Dead

The next morning, the sky was still grey.

Bai Youwei didn’t remember when she fell asleep, and upon asking Shen Mo, she learned that it was already eight o’clock.

This feeling was terrible.

Especially since Lizheng’s wife, from the Ma Family, and Li Laizi’s neighbor, Mrs. Liu, had committed felonies in the dead of night. It made her increasingly wary about the dangers of falling asleep at night.

Voices could be heard from outside, Du Lai and Fu Miaoxue had seemingly awoken already.

Bai Youwei also sluggishly arose, pondering about the events within the game whilst slowly washing.

Laughter like silver bells sporadically drifted into the room, but it was unclear what the man and woman outside were joking about. Bai Youwei slightly furrowed her brows but didn’t say anything.

Shen Mo was swiftly tidying the place up on one side and discussed with Bai Youwei:

“Although the information is fragmented, we actually have numerous leads,

Mrs. Li’s name and background are unknown;

Mrs. Li married Li Qianggui, who is very poor and covered in scales;

Mrs. Li has not had any children for several decades after her wedding;

Mrs. Li harbored a deep grudge against the village;

Mrs. Li does not allow outsiders to touch her remains….

In ancient times, there were people who specialized in human trafficking. Mrs. Li’s appearance in the village certainly wasn’t voluntary. We could try looking for other women with unknown names and backgrounds. If we come across women who were also sold as part of the same transaction, we might be able to figure out Mrs. Li’s real identity.”

They had a name list of the village at hand and could look for each person one-by-one.

Bai Youwei gave a nod, “Okay.”

Upon opening the door, she saw Fu Miaoxue and Du Lai strolling in the garden outside.

These two certainly had a romantic vibe between them.

Du Lai was performing a magic trick to amuse Fu Miaoxue, creating a peony flower at one moment, and a Chinese herbaceous peony the next. His long and nimble fingers danced in the air, like a dance belonging solely to the fingers.

Fu Miaoxue noticed the door of Bai Youwei and Shen Mo’s room opening and greeted them with a cheery smile:

“Good morning~”

Bai Youwei also gave a faint smile, “Your spirits are so high; have you found a way to get through the game?”

Fu Miaoxue’s smile froze on her face: “…”

Damn it, this woman is a demon!

（Damn it, a common venting phrase in Shanghainese, akin to ‘Damn’.）

“No… Not at all~” Fu Miaoxue draped her arm around Du Lai, leaned her head on his shoulder, “As long as I am with my boyfriend, even if we can’t get through the game, I am happy~”

“That’s good then.” Bai Youwei nodded in seriousness, “But my boyfriend and I will definitely get out. After all, we still have two unused puzzle pieces. Speaking of which, we had obtained these puzzle pieces from your boyfriend, didn’t he tell you about it? He had traded a prop with me for the puzzle piece. Looking back at it, he was probably exchanging props to save you, right? Hmmm… in a way, you indirectly saved my boyfriend and me~”

Fu Miaoxue: “…”

Demon! Demon! Demon! Demon! Demon!…

Bai Youwei blinked, looked at her, “What’s the matter?”

“…Nothing,” Fu Miaoxue quickly adjusted her smile, placed a peony on her head, and asked Bai Youwei, “Look, it’s a gift from my boyfriend. Isn’t it beautiful?”

Bai Youwei looked a bit confused, glanced at the nearby flower bed, and said: “Isn’t it weird to put flowers like these in your hair? There may be corpses buried under these flowers.”

Fu Miaoxue looked anxious upon hearing this, “Really…?”

“Look there,” Bai Youwei pointed to the bottom of the flower bed.

Fu Miaoxue glanced over and saw an arm laying in the mud beneath the dense and lush floral leaves!

“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”

Fu Miaoxue screamed!

She yanked off the peony from her head and ran frantically into the room, frightened out of her wits!

“Miaoxue!” Du Lai hastened to follow her into the room.

Once the two had left, the expression on Bai Youwei’s face instantly cooled down, she looked blankly at the arm.

“Stop pretending, come with me.”
