I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today - Chapter 456

Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Keep Calm
Shen Mo and Yan Qingwen headed towards the shooting location.

Though the dolls they passed by were cleaned up, some seemed to move positions overnight, appearing unexpectedly at crossroads, behind trees, next to windows…

It wasn’t long after they set out that their movements were witnessed by these dolls.

Next, Mary detected them and sent the dolls to chase them, each mounted on a puppet cat —

Since they had encountered them before, both Shen Mo and Yan Qingwen had an idea of their speed and strength. They maintained their composure, cooperating and grabbing a bow and arrow, planning to use nearby buildings as a cover to return to their hiding place and meet with the others.

Festive lights sparkling on both sides of the street, the music getting louder.

In the middle of the chase, Mary noticed their bow and arrow, and hesitated for a moment — whether it was the puppet cat or the doll on it, they both froze momentarily.

After a moment of hesitation, it suddenly backed away!

The puppet cat retreated a few steps, then swiftly turned around, carrying Mary and running in the opposite direction at an extremely high speed!

The two men stopped, frowning at the retreating silhouette of the puppet cat, then looking at each other.

Only two seconds passed before Yan Qingwen’s face changed dramatically. He chased after them, “Mary is trying to hide!”

Shen Mo’s brows furrowed even more, as he immediately followed!

However, no matter how fast they were, they couldn’t catch up to the huge yet agile puppet cat. They chased it all the way to Treasure Bay, where they finally lost the trail of Mary.

Yan Qingwen wasn’t willing to give up and searched around trying to find the direction in which the puppet cat had gone, but the lights were so dazzling that it caused the darkness to blur his vision.

While he was searching for clues, the giant puppet cat leaped up from the dark and pounced on him!

Yan Qingwen dodged to the side!

Shen Mo swung his sword and slashed!

The blade tore through the cotton cloth on the cat’s paw. The overflowing cotton fluff, like rolling clouds, didn’t hurt or itch the creature.

It seemed like all their efforts were in vain!

The two escaped from under the cat’s paw, taking refuge in the kitchen of an island-themed restaurant. The cat kept meowing outside, seemingly knowing that they were hiding nearby and kept pacing around the restaurant.

“Mary is gone.” Yan Qingwen peered through the gap in the kitchen door, staring unblinkingly at the outside, “Mary is hiding. She’s in Treasure Bay!”

“We should go back first,” Shen Mo advised with a frown, “The cat outside is too tricky. We should meet with the others first, and look for an opportunity when it’s daylight.”

“No way!” Yan Qingwen flatly refused!

Shen Mo was slightly startled, his face turning grave.

Yan Qingwen seemed to perceive his own unpredictability, took a deep breath and, after a pause, explained:

“Once we leave, Mary will change her location again! The entire amusement park is so big, trying to find a single doll is like looking for a needle in a haystack! But now… at least now, we know that Mary is in Treasure Bay! So we can’t leave!”

He took another deep breath, emphasizing to Shen Mo, “We can make our move in the daylight, but for now, I can’t leave!”

Shen Mo also looked outside.

The puppet cat couldn’t find them and was reluctantly wandering nearby. Riding on the cat’s neck was a metal skeleton doll; only its head resembled a human’s. Its woolen hair was messy and tangled at the back of its head, and its pupils glowed faintly.

This “fake Mary” should have been carrying a cloth doll on its back, but now, it was gone.

The real Mary was gone.

Yan Qingwen stared outside, his tone firm, “I can’t leave here. This is our only chance to find Mary, Shen Mo… you don’t need to worry about me, I’ll be patient until daylight.”

Shen Mo glanced at him, his voice devoid of any emotion, “You may want to wait until tomorrow, but they might not give you this opportunity. If Mary is indeed hiding here, she will definitely do everything she can to clear the park tonight. We two alone might find it difficult to handle it. You wait here, I’ll go back and alert them.”
