I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 722: Chapter 722: The Fairness of Tomorrow’s Inn
 

An eerie silence fell over the dining table.

After a few seconds, a man in a checkered shirt stood up, enraged, accusatory:

“You, what are you blabbering about! You are the most suspicious one! Where did you come from, speaking these baseless words, trying to lead the Detective to suspect us?!”

“Exactly! Where did this woman come from?!” A bald man was also very angry, turning and shouting towards the inn’s front desk direction, “Where is the Inspector? Shouldn’t the Inspector come out and explain the situation?! Why does a game of 15 people turn into 16?!”

The woman holding a baby raised her eyebrows unhappily: “I say you people, could you keep it down?! You’re upsetting my baby!”

A young basketball-playing boy retorted impatiently: “If you don’t like the noise, cover your ears! What baby, it’s just a fucking doll…”

“What did you say?!” The woman yelled, ready to fight with a fork in her hand, “Don’t you dare speak about my baby like that!!!”

“Detective! Someone is trying to assault!” The basketball boy dodged behind a chair, “Hey! This woman has gone mad! Is nobody going to take care of it?!”

The middle-aged woman sitting next door, with Tarot Cards spread out on the table, flipped one and casually said: “You asked for it… you shouldn’t have mentioned her baby… you deserved it…”

Chaos ensued.

Bai Youwei felt like she was in a large meetup of deranged people.

The Detective outside quickly ran in, shouting discontentedly, “Who dares to attack in front of me! Arrest immediately!”

The woman dropped the fork, quickly returned to her seat, picking up the child and soothing it, putting on a loving motherly facade, as if the one just threatening with a fork was everyone’s hallucination.

The Detective didn’t pursue it further, he gave a hard stare and turned and walked away.

It seemed, unless an actual murder occurred, the Detective wasn’t going to arrest anyone.

Now, as the host of the inn, the Inspector arrived in leisure.

Compared to the previous man she had seen, his proportions appeared much more normal this time.

Although still lanky, he was not nearly as exaggerated as before.

Bai Youwei quickly understood.

This game, set neither in a vast wilderness nor in a grand mansion, but in an old inn.

If he were still the same height, he’d probably not be able to stand straight, right?

As the cartoon-like man arrived, a few players started competing to complain: “What is going on here? Why did the number of players suddenly increase?”

“This is clearly against the principle of fairness! How can the number of competitors arbitrarily increase or decrease?! She should be expelled!” The bald man, filled with hostility towards Bai Youwei, was probably resentful of being called “bald”.

The cartoon-like man looked towards Bai Youwei.

Bai Youwei returned the gaze nonchalantly, waiting to see how he would respond.

“Up to this point in this game, no rules have been violated.” The cartoon-like man said calmly, “A player reasonably used an auxiliary tool within the rules. Everyone need not worry too much, please continue playing the game according to the established rules, until this battle game ends.”

“This is not fair!” The bald man muttered, “The numbers are not the same! How are we supposed to play?!”

“Hey~” Bai Youwei replied in a relaxed tone, “The ones who really should be crying foul should be us, right? This game, from the start, created the largest unfairness for us.”

She looked at the cartoon-like man, her tone cold: “Even though the rules aim to be balanced, the Inspector seems to have forgotten, our skin color is not the same.

To us, all of you look white, indistinguishable, but what about you? You can tell we are on a team at a glance due to our skin color, thus putting us at a disadvantage from the start—it’s just too unfair.”

Cartoon-like man: “…”

He knew it, dealing with her would be nothing but trouble.
