Chapter 361 Becoming the Favorite Doll
Jiang Liyue slipped through the open door.
Because there were so many dolls in the room and everyone was doing their own thing, Jiang Liyue moved very quietly and blended in without anyone noticing for a while.
The dolls just want to escape from here.
The devastation caused by the mischievous children during the day still haunts the players; the place was truly terrifying, and they had only one thought in mind.
We must leave.
Some people leave directly through the door, which is how the door was opened a crack.
However, when someone organizes the escape through the window, most of the dolls are more inclined to escape through the window rather than go to the corridor where they are more likely to encounter those terrifying NPCs from the daytime.
Jiang Liyue had just arrived and of course had no intention of leaving.
She was probably the most relaxed-looking of the dolls, as she explored Miss Pera's room, hoping to find some clues about Lilith.
Miss Pera looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, not very old, but she had a gloomy temperament and looked somewhat sinister and scary.
Only after all the dolls in the room were gradually removed did Jiang Liyue begin searching for clues throughout the room.
First, there was a desk, which contained only some simple fairy tale books and some fabric and tools for sewing.
In addition, there were several tattered dolls that had been torn apart by naughty children.
It seems Miss Pera really enjoys doing handicrafts; she even sews these dolls and repairs their bodies.
On the wall in front of the desk, Jiang Liyue saw a simple children's drawing.
The drawing, done crookedly with colored pens, appears to depict two little girls holding hands, one with black hair and the other with blonde hair.
Below, written in crooked handwriting, was the English phrase: "best friends".
The black-haired girl is unsurprisingly Miss Pera herself, so could the blonde little girl be Lilith, whom she is looking for?
Are they good friends?
Jiang Liyue stood in front of the painting for a moment, then looked at Miss Pera, who seemed oblivious to everything happening in the room and was sleeping peacefully with her eyes closed.
It seems that all the player dolls in the room have left, and the remaining dolls are motionless, quietly remaining in their original positions.
Jiang Liyue remained motionless, and the next moment, Miss Pera opened her eyes.
Jiang Liyue made no attempt to hide herself, so when Pera looked around, it was easy to spot her standing on the desk.
"You, how did you get back?" Pera, who had been calm, seemed to be startled.
It's no wonder she recognized Jiang Liyue; her appearance was too obvious, not to mention that she had just been taken away by Chu Li that afternoon.
"Did the head of the family abandon you?" Pera spoke to Jiang Liyue in a gentle voice. For some reason, she just felt a strong liking for this beautiful and cute doll.
Pera felt that her speculation made a lot of sense.
The rumored patriarch is ruthless, merciless, and an absolute tyrant.
Even if he suddenly decides he wants to own a doll, that interest will be very short-lived.
Thinking of this, Pera looked at Jiang Liyue with a mixture of pity and relief.
At least the tyrannical patriarch didn't destroy the doll simply because he lost interest; he merely abandoned her.
“It’s alright, you can come back here,” Miss Pera reassured her.
Jiang Liyue, who had been listening to her rambling on, finally spoke up: "I wasn't abandoned, I just wanted to come out and have some fun."
Pera's expression changed instantly, and she exclaimed in horror, "So the patriarch didn't know you left?!"
"You, you're too playful!"
Pera wanted to continue criticizing her, but when she looked into Jiang Liyue's big, round eyes filled with innocence, she softened.
What could the little doll have done wrong? She just wanted to come out and play.
"You, you can play a little longer, but you have to go back in time, otherwise the head of the family will probably be very angry."
Pera had heard from others about how angry the head of the family was; apparently, it was because several people in the manor had tried to seize the position of head of the family.
The position of family head is not fixed; only the most powerful monster can hold it.
Because the current head of the manor is indifferent to affairs and has been living in seclusion for a long time, some greedy individuals have forgotten his power and are attempting to take his place.
The result was obvious: the patriarch was furious. Not only were those who wanted to seize power killed, but even those who knew the truth, tacitly agreed, and waited for the outcome before taking sides or reaping the benefits were all dead.
For a time, there were not many living eerie creatures in the manor.
Their deaths signified true death, and their power transformed into nourishment for the manor.
The manor will not remain lifeless forever. Those strange creatures are not irreplaceable. Before long, naturally generated strange creatures will take human form by seizing power and naturally settle down in the manor.
This is the bizarre succession.
This was also Miss Pera's deepest impression of how terrifying the head of the family was.
So, what punishment will the poor little doll receive if it really angers the head of the family?
Can it really withstand it?
If Jiang Liyue knew Pera's concerns, she would only say that the punishment might indeed be unbearable, but in a different sense.
After all, that scoundrel only "punishes" her in bed.
Although Jiang Liyue didn't know that Miss Pera had thought so much, she could hear the concern in the other's tone, and smiled obediently: "I understand."
Miss Pera, who already loved dolls, was absolutely delighted.
Jiang Liyue stood on the desk. She had long since discovered that Miss Pera was fully aware that the dolls could move freely.
She was clearly pretending to be asleep!
After all, Jiang Liyue was a professional when it came to pretending to be asleep, which is why she could tell the other person was faking it at a glance.
That's why he deliberately stayed there motionless, waiting for Miss Pera to "wake up".
“But it seems everyone has left.” Jiang Liyue pointed to the empty space in the room, and the open window. “Miss Pera, why did you let them leave?”
Jiang Liyue asked directly.
After thinking it over, she felt that Miss Pera was not a bad person, and that she was still young, only fourteen or fifteen years old, and in Jiang Liyue's eyes, she was just a child.
Faced with a child like this, Jiang Liyue's deliberate attempts to probe indirectly might not work, while a direct question might not necessarily offend her.
And you can still get a good result.
“Because the dolls are free, they can go wherever they want,” Miss Pera said honestly.
However, she paused, and the next thing she said was rather gloomy: "The rules among dolls are also very harsh, and fighting becomes natural after they leave their owners."
"They'll only understand once they get out there, won't they?"
Miss Pera tilted her head in the dark room, a slightly eerie smile appearing on her gloomy face for a moment.
