I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 367: 367: Run!

Once her pace quickened, the sound of her footsteps could hardly be concealed. Sooner or later, the beast would track the noise and catch up!

“Head towards the stairs!” Bai Youwei ordered.

“But! … ” Zhu Shu gasped, her face full of sweat, “I can’t run fast while carrying you downstairs!”

Zhu Shu had been through this labyrinth. With her physical ability, she could carry Bai Youwei. Although not as fast as Su Man, she could run quite fast. But

This “fast” was far from comparable to the speed of the beast!

“Do as I say, head towards the stairs!” Bai Youwei commanded again.

Zhu Shu gritted her teeth and, increasing her speed, ran towards the spiral staircase —

Heavy footsteps echoed from behind once more, the humanoid beast was catching up!

After “The Gardener” transformed into “The Duke,” his speed and strength were greatly enhanced. Coupled with his body’s continuous self-healing ability, he was virtually an indestructible killing machine.

He slowly closed the distance towards Su Man and Bai Youwei.

His charred body was quickly healing, although the scorched skin and fresh blood did not disappear, which made him look terrifying!

He seemed like a demon crawled out from some corpse burning site!

“My lovely bride…”

A hoarse voice arose from his throat, filled with a cackling laughter that seemed to ridicule their futile attempts to escape his clutches and showed excitement at finally cornering his prey down.

He stared at Bai Youwei, his mouth covered in burnt skin and exposed a horrid smile: “Since you are so eager, then… let’s start tonight’s dinner a bit early.”

Zhu Shu gripped the wheelchair’s armrest and backed away.

Bai Youwei bit her lip and said nothing.

He slowed his pace, relishing the moment, steadily moving closer and closer to them…

“What happened…” he sneered, “My bride, your tool, can’t it be used?”

Bai Youwei quietly touched the fluffy rabbit’s head and replied softly, “It still works.”

The Duke froze in his tracks.

“When I said it can be used twice more, you really thought that was all it had?” Bai Youwei lifted her head, her lips curling up in a smile that was as radiant as it was cruel. “What a fool!”

The Duke was taken aback, and without realizing, he stepped back just into the stairwell opening.

“You…”

Before he could say any more, a massive bolt of lightning smashed down on his head! As terrifying as a monstrous crocodile trying to tear him to pieces!

“Zhu Shu!” Bai Youwei shouted.

Zhu Shu hastily threw out the last three beads she had!

All the while praying in her mind: They must explode! They must!

Boom!

Fate finally smiled upon her again! One of the three beads caused a Thunderstorm Effect. In combination with Bai Youwei’s lighting, they blasted the Duke down the staircase!

The enormous being let out a wail of agony. His body fell, breaking the railing of the second floor and slammed heavily onto the first floor lobby!

Thud!

… He lay motionless.

Zhu Shu nervously looked down at the scene and muttered, “Is he dead…”

“He won’t die, but with such a severe injury, it will take him some time to recover.”

Bai Youwei swiftly used the golden key to open the dollhouse, completely ignoring Zhu Shu’s shocked expression. She efficiently tossed the rabbit and her bag inside, then opened her foldable cane and got up.

“Hurry, throw my wheelchair down.” she instructed.

The act of throwing down the wheelchair was to deceive the adversary. After all, hiding while using a wheelchair was not ideal. As long as they threw the wheelchair down, the Duke would have no way to determine where Bai Youwei was hiding.

Leaning on the cane, Bai Youwei walked into the nearest room to the staircase on the third floor.

Zhu Shu threw the wheelchair down and hastily entered the room too, quietly closing the door behind her
