Chapter 362 A Speculation
Miss Pera's words were somewhat similar to the prompts given before entering the instance.
So does this mean there's competition even between dolls? Jiang Liyue blinked.
The instance also hints that becoming the master's favorite doll requires fighting. But the reason why one must become the master's favorite doll remains unknown.
Fortunately, Jiang Liyue didn't need to worry about this, since she was now Chu Li's puppet and naturally his favorite.
If he doesn't love her... then he should just die.
Jiang Liyue thought sadly.
[What is my wife thinking? Even the little doll's expression is so scary with that smile.]
[He looks like he wants to kill someone.]
[We can't just kill Pella because of what she said, can we? Yueyue isn't like that.]
[Whatever she's thinking, doesn't Yueyue seem a bit like a yandere? So captivating, I love it!]
Is it possible that she isn't just a yandere, but actually is?
Jiang Liyue was unaware that the comments section would magnify and analyze even her slightest expression. She put aside her imagination and had no doubt about whether Chu Li loved her or not.
Of course I love you, I must love you, I will love you forever.
Pera noticed that Jiang Liyue didn't speak, and her strange expression softened: "Were you scared? These are the cruel rules of the dollhouse, and I can't change them."
"No," Jiang Liyue shook her head vigorously.
Miss Pera got out of bed. She seemed to really like Jiang Liyue, and leaned closer to look at her pretty face, exclaiming, "So beautiful! How come I never noticed you before?"
"If I had noticed before, I would definitely have prepared more beautiful clothes for you."
Jiang Liyue said without ceremony, "We can start preparing now."
Miss Pera seemed surprised by her answer, and paused for a moment before bursting into laughter.
She exclaimed sincerely, "You're so cute!"
"Of course." Jiang Liyue proudly raised her chin.
If a normal person made such an expression and tone, even if they were beautiful, it would probably be annoying.
But if it's a small, pretty doll, then it's fine!
She's just a little doll, what could she possibly understand? Of course we should forgive her!
No, there's no need to say forgiveness. After all, Pera wasn't angry at Jiang Liyue's tone; she just thought she was cute.
Pera looked very happy because before Jiang Liyue, the dolls were all afraid of her.
They would only run away; they would never talk to Jiang Liyue like she did, without feeling any resistance.
Pera shared the dolls in the room with Jiang Liyue. She picked up a broken doll from the table and started sewing, her expression somewhat troubled: "Those bastards during the day ruined so many of my dolls."
"They really are bad," Jiang Liyue thought. When she met those brats, she would definitely teach them a lesson and show them what power really is.
With someone to talk to, Pera seemed much more lively, and she chatted with Jiang Liyue.
Jiang Liyue agreed with each of them, showing no signs of impatience.
She watched Pera's sewing movements; they were very skilled, as if she had done it countless times.
After talking for a while, Jiang Liyue glanced casually at the simple drawing in front of the desk: "This drawing is quite cute, did you draw it, Pera?"
Miss Pera stopped moving and looked at the painting on the wall, as if lost in some memory.
After a long pause, she shook her head: "No, it wasn't drawn by me, it was drawn by a friend of mine."
"Is she your best friend?" Jiang Liyue pointed to the letters on the painting. "She gave you this painting; it seems she really likes you."
“Yes.” Pera smiled wryly.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Liyue continued to press, "What's her name? Didn't you continue playing with her?"
“Her, her name is Lilith,” Miss Pera’s voice became very low. “She’s gone missing, and I’ve been looking for her.”
Seeing her dejected appearance, Jiang Liyue said, "I'm sorry."
“It’s alright, after all, I have been looking for her.” Miss Pera forced a smile.
Jiang Liyue blinked, as if pondering something, before saying, "Is the Patriarch very powerful?"
Pera didn't know why she suddenly brought this up, but she still nodded: "Of course."
"Can he help find someone?" Jiang Liyue tilted her head.
“This, how is this possible…” Pera shook his head frantically. “The patriarch hates trouble the most. If he were to come to me with something as trivial as this, he would kill me on the spot.”
After all, it's much easier to deal with the person who raised the problem than to solve the problem itself.
Without a doubt, this is Chu Li's style of doing things.
"So he can find people, right?" Jiang Liyue emphasized.
Miss Pera nodded: "Of course."
“Then I can ask him for you. I’m the most lovable little doll.” Jiang Liyue said this with a hint of pride, clearly having accepted her identity as Little Nose Doll.
I just silently repented in my heart, apologizing for deceiving the child.
Of course, she wouldn't go directly to Chu Li for the answer; what would be the point of the dungeon then?
However, using Chu Li's name as a figurehead was clearly very useful, because when Jiang Liyue continued to ask Miss Pera about the specifics of Lilith's disappearance, she generously told her everything.
Lilith is also a member of the manor. She and Pera are best friends, and they both love dolls.
However, compared to the reclusive Miss Pera who only loves dolls, Lilith is also skilled at hunting. She says she enjoys hunting down humans who break into the manor.
That's why she's so strong; she can protect Pella and share food with her.
Later, when Lilith saw Miss Pera sewing dolls, she suddenly had an idea.
"If we turn excess humans into dolls, then we can take them out and play with them anytime, right?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liyue: ...
Very well, very well, as expected of their bizarre thinking; humans are merely their toys.
Lilith is a person who does things on a whim, and she actually started researching how to turn humans into dolls.
One day, after Lilith said she would tell Pera some good news that evening, she didn't show up.
"She disappeared from the manor after that, and I never saw her again."
Pera suspects that Lilith's disappearance is related to the doll and the good news she was supposed to tell her.
That's why Miss Pera collected more and more dolls.
"I don't know why, but among the dolls I collected later, some of them, like you, possessed human souls."
Jiang Liyue: It's probably the power of the dungeon.
Pera continued, "I suspect they are all related to Lilith's disappearance, which is why they deliberately waited until they left, hoping to find some clues through them."
Jiang Liyue blinked: "...Have you ever thought that Lilith might have also become a doll?"
