At ten o’clock in the morning, the selected individuals promptly boarded the boat.
It was a small cruise ship, with two rows of seats in the cabin, each row could accommodate 12 people, together with the bow and stern, it could hold quite a few people.
Legend has it that in the past, the base could select more than thirty people in one batch, and luggage alone could fill the boat to capacity.
Now, only 18 people were seated in the boat, making it appear quite empty.
Bai Youwei, confined to a wheelchair, felt cramped inside the boat and chose to stay with Shen MO at the back of the boat.
There were people on both the deck and the cabin, so they chose to stay silent and enjoy the scenery.
In the distance, the green mountains and blue sky were perfectly blended with the gentle waves of the lake and the sparkling of the water surface. It was hard to imagine that such a serene landscape concealed such dangerous hazards.
The distance from Sanshan Island to West Mountain Island was very close, only about 4 kilometers if you travelled to the ancient village of Mingyue Bay on West Mountain Island.
However, Uncle Zhao did not dock at Mingyue Bay, but chose to take a roundabout route in the opposite direction, circling for more than ten kilometers before starting to dock near the Great Saint Bay.
Everyone gradually got off the boat.
There was not a soul on the shore, and the surroundings were so silent that not even the sound of a bird could be heard, causing everyone to look at each other with apprehension.
“Uncle Zhao, where are the base staff members?” Wu Lili, using a branch as a crutch, was limping near the back of the group. “Uncle Zhao, could you ask a staff member to bring over a car? I can’t walk any further with this leg.”
Old Zhao walked ahead, his strides firm. Without looking back, he responded,
“Hang on a little longer, we are almost there.”
Zhang Qi raised his voice and asked, “Why is there no one on shore? Where are the safety base employees?!”
“Ahead,” Old Zhao’s voice remained steady, while his feet didn’t stop, “We are almost there.”
Everyone felt uneasy, but since they had come this far, they could only continue forward.
After a while, they arrived at a slope where there were stairs built from bluestone. Everyone followed Uncle Zhao, lugging their luggage along the
steep slope, growing increasingly weary.
Soon after Uncle Zhao reached the top of the slope, his figure quickly disappeared from sight on the other side of the hill. By the time everyone struggled to climb up, Uncle Zhao was nowhere to be found.
“What’s going on?”
Someone was dumbfounded.
Without Uncle Zhao, they were like a ship without a rudder.
The eighteen people stood atop the hill, gazing down at the vast expanse of houses and trees, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t spot Uncle Zhao!
Then, suddenly, the scenery in front of them started to vibrate!
—The hill beneath their feet seemed to transform into a dense carpet, rippling after shaking, and then quickly changing from ash-gray to lush green!
The entire hill was covered in luxuriant green grass as far as the eye could see! The houses and the vegetation had disappeared!
“Ding! Welcome to the Doll Game! The theme of this game is ‘Friends Gathering.’ The rules are as follows:
One, refuse the game and become a doll!
Two, fail the game and become a doll!
Three, clear the game and win a doll!”
As this familiar narration rang out, everyone on the hill changed their expressions!
“It’s the Doll Game!” Someone yelled in terror, “Why is there a Doll Game here?!”
“Doesn’t the Doll Game only appear in places where there are dolls?”
Those who had already experienced the game were totally panicked, and those who had not were scared due to the hearsay, their faces turning pale. “Where is Uncle Zhao? Why would Uncle Zhao bring us to a place like this?”
Wu Lili burst into tears, threw her crutch, and then charged at Zhang Qi, punching and kicking, “You are going to get me killed! I wanted to go to the safety base! I don’t want to play the game!!!”
Zhang Qi’s face turned ashen. As he turned his head towards Shen MO and Bai Youwei, preparing to question them, a soft, cold male voice rings out from behind them —
“Oh, miss, please stop. The game is about to start, and attacking the players is against the rules.”
Everyone turned around at the sound of the voice, seeing a man leisurely walk up the hill.
When they saw the man’s face clearly, they all collectively gasped!
