I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 815: Chapter 815: Flashlight
 

Chen Hui felt goosebumps all over her body from Bai Youwei’s description.

Bai Youwei spoke lightheartedly again, “But we haven’t been trapped for that long to objectively speculate on their psychology. Maybe their minds are no longer clear. To them, as long as they can seize the chance to get out, food and tools are all trivial.”

Chen Hui still felt uneasy and whispered, “Then… we should keep a closer eye on them.”

“Of course, we definitely need to be vigilant,” Bai Youwei nodded.

Shen Mo came over and handed Bai Youwei three keys, “Those people gave them to us.”

They had said they would give them earlier, but Bai Youwei hadn’t taken them because she found it disgusting. Now they were eagerly brought over, as if they were really worried that Bai Youwei and the others would abandon them.

Bai Youwei looked at the keys in Shen Mo’s hand, sighed deeply, and said, “Get a few more bottles of water from them to wash these…”

Shen Mo nodded, turned around to go, but was called back by Bai Youwei, “Your hands, remember to wash them too.”

Shen Mo: “…”

He gave her a helpless glance.

…

Shen Mo got two bottles of spring water from those people, one to wash the keys, the other to wash his hands.

The clean keys still felt old, with no distinct features, about 10cm in length, and each in a different color—one in tortoise shell green, another in grape purple, and the third in old ginger yellow.

Bai Youwei picked up the keys, put them down again, touched and tapped them, examined them, but couldn’t figure out anything special and simply asked Shen Mo to keep them for the time being.

Keys were just keys, nothing more. Before finding other keys, these three keys were worth the same as zero.

The light nearby flickered twice.

Leonid’s flashlight had gone out.

Leonid hastened to say, “I’m using old batteries, so the power isn’t sufficient, but no problem, I have spares in my bag.”

He expertly opened the back of the flashlight, took out the old batteries, and was about to replace them with new ones when Bai Youwei said, “Let’s turn off the other flashlights as well, leaving just one beam should be enough. We don’t know how long we’ll be here, so let’s conserve what we have.”

After hearing this, everyone promptly turned off their own flashlights, leaving only one in the middle of the Stone Chamber to provide illumination.

The light from a single flashlight naturally couldn’t light up the entire Stone Chamber; apart from a strong beam in the center, the edges of the chamber remained immersed in darkness.

However, they did not need to explore their surroundings or engage in combat right now, so having dimmer lighting was of no consequence.

Shen Mo took out a blanket from the luggage and draped it over Bai Youwei.

There wasn’t the biting chill of the outside winds here, but another kind of persistent, gloomy cold that, after a while, would chill your hands and feet without you noticing.

Bai Youwei drew the blanket closer around her and slipped her hands inside Shen Mo’s clothes to warm up, saying to him, “Shall we set up the tent in a bit?”

Shen Mo glanced at the other people in the Stone Chamber, murmured a low “Mhm,” took her hands, flipped them over, and warmed the back of her hands for her.

Bai Youwei chuckled, “You think you’re making flatbreads?”

Shen Mo, hearing this, also laughed. He let go, playfully pinched her nose, and turned to go set up the tent.

The tent was prepared for outdoor camping.

Logically speaking, in such a closed space, setting up a tent was completely unnecessary; to rest, all one needed was a moisture-proof mat and a sleeping bag.

Bai Youwei wanted Shen Mo to set up the tent because she needed a private space—at least when entering or exiting the Doll House, she wouldn’t be seen by the few individuals with unclear identities outside.

She wrapped herself in the blanket and entered the tent, turned on a small lamp inside, then took out her customary pen and paper to write and draw, searching for ideas.

After a while, Shen Mo also entered the tent.

Bai Youwei asked him, “What is everyone else doing?”

“Nothing much, just resting,” Shen Mo paused before adding, “Those three are sleeping.”
