Bai Youwei was stunned.
Having Shen Fei guard below the clock tower, wouldn't that be equivalent to… having Shen Fei take the hit for her?
If Mary and the cat found the clock tower, they would discover Shen Fei first, and then attack Shen Fei, ignoring the possibility that someone else might be hiding on top of the tower.
Bai Youwei's mood became complicated.
She was looking forward to Shen Mo treating her better, but for her safety, he was willing to let his cousin take the hit. How ruthless! …It made her a little embarrassed.
(Shy)
…
Actually, Shen Mo hadn't thought that much.
He simply felt that as a man of the Shen family, Shen Fei should protect women and the weak. This was a responsibility a man should have, and nothing else mattered.
(Indifferent)
…
The group left the stage and walked out of the puppet theater.
Outside, the sun was shining brightly. The clear blue sky was without a single cloud, and the white sunlight shone on everyone's faces, so bright that it was suffocating.
They had already spent two days and two nights in this game.
Now it was the third day.
On the way towards the carousel, the situation gradually began to change.
They found many plush toys by the roadside, but only the outer layers of the toys remained. The plush filling inside had been emptied.
Seeing those plush bears, plush dogs, and plush ducklings lying flat on the ground, there was an unspeakable sense of eeriness. Everyone couldn't help but become vigilant and continued forward.
They arrived at the carousel again.
After a night of burning, this place was no longer as bright and beautiful as it had been at the beginning, but a mess, with scorched earth everywhere, and countless dismantled doll toys piled up.
The ragdoll cat's head had been sewn back on, and its two front paws had been filled with cotton and wrapped in cloth, but the two hind legs had not been repaired in time, and were bare, revealing the metal skeleton.
Mary had also repaired a part of herself. Her scorched face had become white and delicate again. Because she couldn't find suitable materials, she temporarily used yellow yarn to replace her hair.
The part below her head was still metal, like a robot doll with a human head.
She was carrying a cloth doll on her back, sleeping on the ragdoll cat, one arm was a triangular cone-shaped bayonet, and the other hand was holding a needle and thread, as if she had been doing needlework all night and was exhausted.
Everyone looked at each other for a moment.
No wonder nothing happened last night. It turned out that Mary didn't go looking for them at all.
Was sewing the ragdoll cat back together more important than finding the hide-and-seek players?
This matter was unbelievable, but there was no way to find the answer.
Yan Qingwen looked around and said, "A lot of places have been burned."
Fantasy Street and Dream Garden were almost completely in ruins, and nearly half of the Fairy Tale Kingdom had also been burned. Fortunately, the dwarves' mine blocked the spread of the fire, otherwise, if everything was burned down, it would be difficult for them to find a hiding place.
…Suddenly, they had the feeling of shooting themselves in the foot.
Yan Qingwen sighed.
"Maybe we don't need to look for a place to hide anymore." Yu Yaqing said in a deep voice, "As long as we kill Mary this time, the hide-and-seek game will end."
Will it end?
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.
"Okay, let's start working." Yan Qingwen moved his arms and gave instructions one by one, "Yu Yaqing and Tan Xiao are responsible for finding hiding places. Find all the hiding places in the amusement park, and then everyone can decide together where to hide tonight.
Shen Mo, Lü Ang, and I are responsible for making traps here at the carousel.
Shen Fei is injured, find a place to rest.
Weiwei, you said you wanted to go to the clock tower, so go to the top and see what's going on. Looking down from above may allow you to observe some things that we don't notice—"
After saying everything, he looked at everyone and stretched out his right hand:
"Hopefully, this is the last day."
