Chapter 960: Chapter 960: Hope for This Thing

"Why did the agreed person back out?" Bai Youwei frowned, "Didn’t Shen Mo tell you the reason?"

"It’s all because of the mess caused by the fourth battle!" Tan Xiao bitterly complained, "A commoner escaped from the battle, ranting like a madman afterward, describing how powerful and twisted the King inside was, claiming he was invulnerable and could even control players! Naturally, that scared everyone."

"Invulnerable... control players..." Bai Youwei paused in shock, "Are you saying that Fu Miaoxue and Du Lai lost?"

"Well, about that..." Tan Xiao shifted uncomfortably, stammering as he replied, "...they did lose. Yan mentioned that the opponent had some powerful artifacts, making it difficult for them to turn the tables. So, before something happened to her, Fu Miaoxue degraded all her living subjects."

"With Du Lai protecting her, how could Fu Miaoxue end up in trouble?" Bai Youwei frowned, "Are you sure you heard everything correctly?"

Tan Xiao’s voice weakened a few degrees, "I did hear it right... That Du Lai was controlled by the King’s artifact. Then Yan told everyone to focus their attacks on the King, but somehow, all attacks ended up being blocked by Du Lai; so... Du Lai definitely couldn’t have survived..."

Bai Youwei pursed her lips, her expression turning ugly.

Tan Xiao sneaked a glance at her, worried she might be upset, so he picked a piece of good news to share, "However, Yan also said that although the King won, his victory was costly! He was burned all over, barely having any good skin left, and that artifact of his most likely got destroyed too!"

Bai Youwei remained silent for a long time, then finally spoke, "That King, was his name Willard?"

Tan Xiao blinked in slight surprise, "It seems that was his name."

"Willard indeed has an artifact that can control players, but I am not clear on its specific functions or its limitations," Bai Youwei said gravely, "Now that he has won, it seems my opponent in the final battle will be him."

Tan Xiao assumed flippantly, "What’s there to worry about if that artifact of his is probably destroyed? Fu Miaoxue and Du Lai did not die in vain; they’ve given us a great help."

Bai Youwei frowned and glanced at Tan Xiao.

Tan Xiao was a bit confused, "Did I say something wrong?"

"It’s nothing." Bai Youwei looked away, feeling irritable, "Go have dinner, Teacher Cheng and Xiaoxin have been waiting without eating."

"Oh," Tan Xiao scratched his head, turned toward the door inside the Dollhouse, but then hesitated, looking back at Bai Youwei, "Aren’t you eating?"

"You don’t need to worry about me; I want to wait a bit longer."

Tan Xiao no longer pressed her and went back to eat.

The door of the Dollhouse stood silently in the bedroom, casting a warm light that seemed to offer hope.

Bai Youwei sat in the desolate living room, staring at the door, revisiting scenes she had experienced after the world had changed...

She was dragged out of her home by Shen Mo.

She met Tan Xiao and Teacher Cheng on the highway.

She encountered a group of students led by Tu Dan.

Without adult protection, Pan Xiaoxin survived in his own way.

Some were looking for a way out, others merely wanted to perish on the island.

And then a group of people, overcoming tremendous difficulties, set up a base, attempting to confront the unknown, hovering geometric shape in the sky...

Bai Youwei thought long and hard about many things.

The countdown on her wristwatch was ticking down by the minute, and Shen Mo hadn’t returned yet.

She knew well that even if there was only one minute left, he would not want to give up; he wanted to gather more subjects for her until the very last moment.

But this time...

This time, it really was, no longer possible.

Hope, that thing isn’t always there.

Sometimes, people must learn to face despair.

Bai Youwei took a deep breath and gently placed the golden key of the Dollhouse on the coffee table from around her neck.

This world, she once hated so bitterly.

Only now did she realize, she had loved it.
