Chapter 373 Lilith's Past

The discovery of blonde hair immediately caught Jiang Liyue's eye.

Could it be Lilith?

Without waiting for Jiang Liyue's confirmation, the system prompted her with the answer.

Mission accomplished, she found Lilith.

Jiang Liyue was a little incredulous. No, this dungeon quest was actually this simple?

Isn't that a bit too easy?

However, Jiang Liyue quickly realized that "easy" only applied to her.

For ordinary players, even if they know Lilith's room, getting here through all those strange attacks along the way is already incredibly difficult.

Not to mention, even if we manage to find this place after going through all sorts of hardships, we might not be able to find the secret passage successfully.

Although Jiang Liyue told Chu Li not to cheat, his presence by her side was itself a huge cheat code, enough to deter other strange entities and reduce the difficulty of her game.

Having figured this out, Jiang Liyue didn't doubt herself. She wasn't one to fight internal battles; why wouldn't she use someone's support?

If we're talking about luck, the fact that she was assigned the S-rank item "Strange Encounters and Love" aura from the start is itself a kind of luck.

Isn't luck also part of her ability?

Some people, perhaps due to their pride, might feel uncomfortable relying on others.

Jiang Liyue didn't let Chu Li interfere simply because she enjoyed the process of overcoming the challenges, not because of her pride.

Think about it, who doesn't want to just lie down and die in a dungeon?

She's already doing a great job playing the game despite having the big boss in the dungeon behind her.

"Thanks to you, Chu Li." Jiang Liyue didn't hold back her praise for Chu Li and kissed him on the cheek.

Chu Li was suddenly kissed, and although she didn't know why, she was happy.

Then, just as he was about to kiss her back, Jiang Liyue directed him to walk to the middle of the room so that she could take a closer look at the Lilith doll.

Upon closer inspection, Jiang Liyue could see Lilith on the ground more clearly. It was indeed that striking blonde hair, but upon closer inspection, she discovered that her blonde hair was actually golden yarn, and her body was made of cotton-stuffed fabric.

However, a large pair of scissors was pinned to her chest, exposing the cotton inside, which rendered her unable to move. Her eyes were tightly closed, as if she had lost all vitality.

Is Lilith trapped here and unable to get out because she was injured?

Jiang Liyue was a little curious. She couldn't tell whether Lilith was alive or dead, but someone here knew.

She turned to look at Chu Li: "Is she still alive?"

Chu Li frowned and glanced at him, his tone disdainful: "Just a half-dead piece of trash."

Jiang Liyue had gotten used to his sharp tongue when evaluating others, so she simply ignored the emotions in his comments and focused on the key information.

"Half-dead" means still alive.

"Will removing the scissors wake her up?" Jiang Liyue continued to ask.

Chu Li looked down on such a useless person with no ability, but when Jiang Liyue asked, he checked more carefully before nodding and saying, "It's okay."

Jiang Liyue instructed him, "Then go and get it."

"Me?" Chu Li was somewhat reluctant. He had a premonition that if he really let this annoying good-for-nothing wake up, Yueyue's attention would be diverted again.

“Otherwise what?” Jiang Liyue said matter-of-factly. “Do you expect me, a little doll, to fetch such a huge pair of scissors?”

Chu Li turned her head, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Jiang Liyue and he just stared at each other.

In the end, he was defeated and took the initiative to remove the scissors from Lilith's chest.

He made a disgusted gesture, tossing the scissors aside with a "thud".

Jiang Liyue, however, did not notice his actions at this moment, but instead looked at Lilith, who was slowly opening her eyes.

She asked Chu Li to save Lilith not out of kindness, but simply because she wanted to know some things.

The experiment, the curse, and why she was imprisoned here—these are all questions Lilith needs to answer.

Lilith never imagined she would wake up one day. She blinked and blinked, and when her vision cleared, she saw a tall, indistinct figure and a pretty little doll jumping down from the figure.

"Are you... are you human?" Lilith's voice was still a little hoarse; she didn't even know what she was asking. "My experiment was a success, wasn't it? You look cute, and I think Pera would like you. Do you know Pera?"

Jiang Liyue didn't want to answer any of the barrage of questions.

She doesn't enjoy answering people's questions; she wants to ask her own.

However, Jiang Liyue knew that if Lilith didn't understand the current situation, she wouldn't answer her so easily.

Therefore, he simply summarized it as follows: "I know Pera, but I am not her doll. She asked me to help find you, you know? You have been missing for a long time."

Lilith paused for a moment, her surprised expression turning calm: "That's right, I should have been here for a long time."

Jiang Liyue didn't know if there was a difference in the regenerative abilities of the eerie doll and the human doll.

At least that day, Jiang Liyue saw players who had been turned into dolls, and after being injured, they could only wail on the ground.

Lilith had a huge hole in her chest, and even the cotton stuffing had fallen out, yet she was still able to talk to Jiang Liyue normally, and even crawled a couple of times to get up from the ground.

It truly lives up to its reputation as bizarre; it's even more remarkable than Superman.

Jiang Liyue wanted to ask Lilith a question, and Lilith seemed to sense what she wanted to know, smiling as she asked, "Is there something you want to ask me?"

She seemed cheerful, showing none of the gloom of being confined here for so long, and I don't know how she became friends with Miss Pera.

No wonder Miss Pera said Lilith was popular.

Jiang Liyue didn't mince words and directly asked all the questions she was curious about.

Lilith quickly answered her question.

Her initial motivation for making dolls was because her best friend, Miss Pera, liked them.

“I can’t be with her all the time, but she can play with the dolls.”

Ordinary dolls can't move or talk, so they're not very good at providing companionship. That's why Lilith thought of turning humans into dolls, which would greatly improve their companionship. They could even be food for Pella if she got hungry.

Jiang Liyue: ...Can you be a little more tactful? There's a human in front of you who's turned into a doll.

Lilith was lost in her memories and obviously didn't notice Jiang Liyue's expression. She continued to talk about how she had an idea and started to conduct experiments, the content of which was similar to that in the experiment log.

"I was so frustrated because the experiments kept failing. But when I was browsing in the library in the manor, I found a note in a corner that recorded an evil curse."

Hearing this, Jiang Liyue glanced at Chu Li, who had somehow gotten up and was now sitting next to her, staring intently at her.

Wow, so you have something like this in your manor.

But if something is weird, it's normal for it to have some kind of curse, right?
