I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

The sound of something heavy hitting the ground.

Bai Youwei was startled, her eyes darted to the outside, forgetting her argument with Shen Fei.

Zhao Mingdeng fell to the ground, his face as white as a sheet. He couldn’t make a sound, nor could he stand up. He was trembling as he crawled forward, leaving a trail of bright red behind him.

But it wasn’t blood!

Rather, it was a red, jelly-like substance continuously seeping out of his body and also his mouth!

Boom!

Another loud noise.

A puppet cat as big as a bus pounced, landing not far behind Zhao Mingdeng.

Mary on the cat’s back was laughing and singing a nursery rhyme:

“Crawl and crawl,

Blood turns to jelly,

Innards turn to cotton,

In the end, oh, in the end, feed it to the kitty’s mouth~”

The cat paw came down and stepped on Zhao Mingdeng.

Like toying with a mouse, it held him down but didn’t kill him immediately, just watched him struggling.

Shen Fei couldn’t bear to look. He quietly said to Bai Youwei, “Mary says that blood is filthy. This is a playground for children, all bloody scenes must be sanitized. She… she doesn’t consider us humans! She treats us like toys!”

Mary was laughing outside, enjoying this moment immensely, repeatedly singing the nursery rhyme:

“Crawl and crawl,

Blood turns to jelly,

Innards turn to cotton…”

Suddenly, several figures shot out!

Mary’s voice halted abruptly!

Shen Mo and Yan Qingwen rushed over with their weapons and hacked at the cat’s paw that was pinning Zhao Mingdeng down!

However, the cat’s paw was soft, and the blade hitting it was like punching cotton! Pointless!

Yu Yaqing and Lun Ang worked together, simultaneously slashing at the cat’s belly——

Balls of cotton spilled out from the ripped fabric, the cat wailed, but its paw stiffly held on!

Robin leaped from above, taking the opportunity to attack Mary on the cat’s back.

Just then, a cat tail swung mid-air! It sent him flying into the wall!

Bai Youwei noticed the sweat soaking Shen Mo’s forehead hair.

Everyone else looked exhausted.

Yes, exhausted.

In the ten-odd minutes they had been fighting the giant puppet cat, they had exerted tremendous physical effort. If they failed to come up with a solution soon, all of them, not just Zhao Mingdeng, would struggle to even defend themselves!

Zhao Mingdeng’s chubby body continued to be pinned down by the cat’s paw…

His body had been squeezed to the point of deformation, he was in too much pain to make a sound, his eyes bulging, his head and arms flailing frantically. The sight of him was rather comical, but no one found it funny.

Bai Youwei thought it looked like a hamster she once had when it tried to squeeze through a crack in the door…

His body was squeezed to the max, “jelly” oozed out in large clumps from his mouth and nostrils, and finally the deflated remnants of his body yielded something resembling cotton stuffing. Zhao Mingdeng’s body, like a squeezed doll, finally, completely, stopped moving.

True to Mary’s demand, Zhao Mingdeng’s death scene was sanitized; there was no trace of gore.

But Bai Youwei thought… Zhao Mingdeng would have preferred to die bloodied and mangled. It was, after all, more dignified.

Shen Mo didn’t let up attacking.

He was constantly aiming to exploit Mary’s and the cat’s weak spots!

While Yu Yaqing and Lun Ang were attacking the cat’s belly, he jabbed his blade into the cat’s paw and, in the process, pulled himself upward!

The other cat paw swung forward!

Shen Mo leaped, grabbing on to the cat’s springy whiskers! Springing to mid-air using the force, he raised his broadsword

And lunged at Mary!

Mary seethed with hatred towards Shen Mo!

Her stump of an arm was his doing. Now, seeing him lunge at her again, she immediately tugged at the cat’s neck to make it raise its head!

“Meow!
