"Teleportation" sounded tricky enough, but the timing of the "old dolls" was the most annoying part.
"When the old dolls choose the first method, which is to imitate you, they have no time limit," the boy said seriously. The boy said seriously, "However, when they teleport, because I'm shy, I'll only move them when it's dark."
"This means that the darkness is a gamble. When the light comes back on, the old dolls might already be right in front of me."
As Lin Sanjiu thought to herself, her vision flickered again.
She tried her best to observe her surroundings when there was light, but it was like letting her eyes get a beating. After a few minutes, her eyeballs were sore.
"Don't worry, for the sake of fairness, I won't throw the old doll at you." The boy laughed and said, "Otherwise, wouldn't you have no hope at all?"
"Tell me the rules and cut the crap." Puppeteer's tone was as if he was lecturing a dog.
Just when Lin Sanjiu wanted to turn her head to look at him, her vision turned dark again.
"Sigh, what a bad temper."
Perhaps, only a pocket dimension would respond to Puppeteer like that. "When the old dolls teleport toward you, there is a distance limit. Each teleportation cannot be more than three meters. In other words, when you see an old doll six meters away from you, the next time the light comes back, it will only be three meters away from you. I suggest that at this time, you either fight or run. "
In other words, when the old dolls chose the second method, even though they needed the pocket dimension to help them teleport, they could still move. From the looks of it, they could even fight.
Lin Sanjiu might be worried if the pocket dimension forbade them from using force.
However, since they could use force — even if the old dolls were a part of the pocket dimension and couldn't be turned into cards or puppets — it was impossible for her and Puppeteer to lose to the two old dolls.
"The limit of three meters is only limited to when the old dolls teleport toward you. If the old dolls want to go somewhere else, there is no limit … "
Lin Sanjiu raised her voice and asked, "So, how do we pass this level?"
"The pocket dimension only lasts for ten minutes. After the fifth minute, whoever decides to quit first can shout at me, and that person will be able to leave safely. But the last one … must join the ranks of my dolls. "
Lin Sanjiu was taken aback for a moment before realization dawned on her.
It turned out that the Bright and Dark Doll House's true purpose was this. Regardless of whether the people who entered the pocket dimension were strangers or not, in this apocalyptic world, who would be stupid enough to wait for another person to decide their fate five minutes later? Within the first five minutes, a life and death battle was about to take place.
"Is this the only way?" Lin Sanjiu barked. "We will never betray another person to survive!"
"… Don't open your mouth, you're making my eyes hurt."
She turned a deaf ear to Puppeteer and continued to ask, "What other ways are there?"
The more he listened to the child's voice, the more unnatural and uncomfortable he felt. It sounded like an adult with a shrill voice, still living in his eight-year-old fantasy.
"Oh, so you guys belong to that kind of people … Although it's rare, it happens occasionally." The boy seemed to be a little excited. "I like limited edition dolls. There is indeed another way … If you guys don't want to leave alone, you have to leave together. If you choose this path, if one of you can't leave, neither of us can leave. Our lives are tied to each other. "
Lin Sanjiu glanced at Puppeteer as the light shone brightly. It was the first time she saw him so uncomfortable. It was as if his internal organs were being torn apart, and his skin was tightening as if he was about to run out of energy. Yet, he couldn't say a word of objection.
Fortunately, the darkness had replaced her vision. At this moment, she had to pretend that she didn't know anything.
"Yes, that's it. Continue."
"Limited edition is great … When the pocket dimension ends in ten minutes, the wall behind you will open again. Both of you need to survive for ten minutes in the pocket dimension. When the wall opens, stand in front of the wall and maintain physical contact. Then, you can leave the doll house together.
"Physical contact can be a handshake, a shoulder, or an arm grab. I don't have any requirements for that," the boy chuckled, thinking that he was proud of himself.
The light shone again. This time, Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to look at Puppeteer's expression.
She thought for a moment and thought of a key question, "Will we be captured and used as substitutes if we touch the old doll?"
"You won't do that even if you touch it for a short period of time. Like I said, I want to ensure fairness, "the boy said. "When the old doll can leave for you, trust me, you will definitely realize it. For example, you will feel your limbs getting heavier and no longer listening to your commands. To be on the safe side, I suggest that you don't let the old doll get close to you. "
'At the end of the day, we just need to fight, right? If we can fight, why would we be afraid of a doll? '
As if the boy could hear her thoughts, he spoke again, "I hope you can understand one thing. In my doll house, physical strength isn't the key to clearing the level. No matter how strong you are, no matter how many people you can take down, it's all meaningless. Whether it's the doll house or the old doll, it won't be damaged. "
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. "In other words, I can't kill the old doll?"
"If the old doll can be damaged, do you think I will let you play with it? What if you lose everything?" the boy said matter-of-factly. "You can send the old doll flying, you can move the furniture, but you can't do any real damage."
The two of them fell silent. The doll house lit up, revealing the sofa and the television in the living room. Then, it dimmed again.
"By the way, even if you choose to die together, you are welcome to betray your partner," the boy laughed. The boy smiled. "As long as the fifth minute passes, you can betray the other person at any time and leave first."
Puppeteer let out a chuckle.
Lin Sanjiu repeated Gong Daoyi's name twice in her heart. She realized that there were times when the name 'Gong Daoyi' could bring her peace of mind.
"Hmm … Let me think. What else have I left out … Oh, right. Since you chose to die together, I will separate you at the beginning of the Pocket Dimension and place you in different positions in the doll house." The boy laughed, "Why don't you walk hand in hand from the beginning? Wouldn't it be easier?"
Before Lin Sanjiu could say, "That's impossible." She suddenly felt as if her body had become a container filled with liquid. Her blood and organs surged. When she came back to her senses, the lights came back on and she found that she was no longer in the living room.
"Alright, the Pocket Dimension starts now. Please try your best to last until the end!"
Thanks to everyone's kindness, Milady is online today. I just scanned through the comments and there are dozens of comments. I'm really touched! I really put my heart into it. I don't care if it's good or not, I'm very satisfied to hear it. (I don't mean to say that I don't want to buy it. It's just that the price is too high. Let's discuss it again.) I will work hard for the next few days and try to update as usual to repay everyone.
(But Milady has 200,000 words. Can you read both sides? I'm really being considerate. I'm just thinking if I should lighten everyone's burden …)
(PS: You don't have to tip King of Glory. Really, don't tell them what I said.)
