I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 503: Chapter 503: What the Hell is Going On
After packing things up, Shen Mo returned to the car, ready to rest a bit before heading into the maze.

Entering the maze at midnight wasn’t the best idea, but Bai Youwei had her dollhouse, so it wasn’t a big deal.

Unexpectedly, someone else was more eager than they were.

Du Lai and his girlfriend, who was fully covered in a black cloak, set off ahead of them, driving towards the maze.

This was something Shen Mo and Bai Youwei hadn’t anticipated.

——They had been wary of Du Lai, but now it seemed like Du Lai was much more on guard against them.

“This doesn’t feel like Du Lai at all,” Bai Youwei complained to Shen Mo, “In our previous encounters, he was always interested in my props and puzzles. But now he behaves like we’re some sort of terrible threat he must avoid urgently.”

Shen Mo stared at the fading taillights, his brow furrowing slightly, “He’s in such a hurry to leave, he probably doesn’t want to have any more interactions with us… it seems he’s worried about his girlfriend revealing some secrets.”

“Might be,” Bai Youwei said thoughtfully, “After all, we are camping on the opposite side, they might feel somewhat intimidated… Moreover, I only saw his girlfriend at the beginning. Afterward, she stayed in the tent the whole time, never coming out, and we only heard her voice.”

For any normal person, staying in the tent all the time without eating, drinking, or using the restroom, would that be possible?

Bai Youwei became more and more suspicious, and wondered if Shen Mo was right – maybe Du Lai’s girlfriend wasn’t human?!

Shen Mo asked her, “Do we go now?”

If they left now, they would likely run into Du Lai.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Youwei said, “Let’s go. Since he is being cautious right now, there’s no need for us to be overly wary. Let’s go now before they take the lead.”

With that, Shen Mo didn’t say another word and followed in his car ——

The two vehicles were not far apart, Shen Mo could see the taillights of the car in front.

But not long after they set off, a soft rain began to fall from the sky.

The rain wasn’t heavy, but together with the cold autumn wind, it brought a desolate feeling.

The visibility became blurred.

Shen Mo switched on the windshield wipers, but even amidst the night rain, the road ahead remained blurred, and he could no longer see the lights from Du Lai’s car.

After driving like this for another two minutes, the road started to become bumpy and uneven. It was no longer a smooth asphalt road, but more of a muddy one like in mountainous areas.

“Something seems off,” Shen Mo furrowed his brows and stopped the car to check.

Bai Youwei also rolled down the windows. The drizzle outside came in, bringing with it the cold chill of autumn. She shivered involuntarily.

The temperature drop was unnaturally sudden.

“Could we already be inside the maze?” Bai Youwei asked, confused.

The maze was hidden in the fog, and with the poor visibility at night, could they have unintentionally entered the maze, which happened to be in a cold, rainy environment?

“I’m not sure yet.” Shen Mo got out of the car, the rain quickly soaking his shoulders. He surveyed the surroundings with a frown.

The environment indeed had changed.

The green belts and buildings on both sides of the road were gone, replaced by dense, dark forest, and a small forest path leading somewhere unknown.

Could they really be in the maze already?

It was normal for Bai Youwei to think like this, but Shen Mo, being the driver, had a sharper sense of distance than Bai Youwei did. Given the speed they were driving at, it was impossible to have reached the confines of the maze in just two minutes.

Unless…the maze had expanded again.

But the maze had already expanded once before, could it possibly expand again in such a short time?

While he was pondering, suddenly a light flashed up ahead.

Then he saw Du Lai and his black-cloaked girlfriend hurriedly approaching them, with an air of frustration. Du Lai called out angrily to Shen Mo:

“Hey! What on earth are you guys up to?!”
