I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 166: : Uncle Zhao’s Turnaround

Translator: 549690339

An otherwise peaceful world suddenly beset by a man-eating game and a man-eating maze.

The game, like an unseen monster, prowling everywhere for suitable prey.

The maze, like an evil lord, constantly expanding its territory.

Driven to desperation, feeling chased by wolves upfront and tigers behind.

People were having a discussion in the hotel room when the sound of a heated commotion drifted from the direction of Zhao Jiantao’s residence, waves of voices, muddled between cheers and jeers.

Mr. Cheng shook his head at the clamor, “Once they found the game, they should have moved. Why did they have to harm people…”

“Let’s go see.” Shen MO stood up, “Before this becomes a bigger mess.”

“Sure, let’s go- I’ Bai Youwei looked intrigued, “Let me tell you, that old man is not to be underestimated, the crowd might not be able to hold him down.” Tan Xiao widened his eyes, “Really, isn’t he just an old man? What else can he

“We won’t know until we go see.” Bai Youwei replied with a radiant smile, as she wheeled herself out.

They all headed to Zhao Jiantao’s place together.

There were over fifty people gathered under the tree where the notice was posted. Strangely, despite the noise, the scene wasn’t as chaotic as expected.

Zhao Jiantao stood in the middle of the crowd, displaying no signs of panic on his face, his voice steady as he responded to the crowd word by word:

“I’m aware! Many of you are struggling to accept this news. But think about it!

Do you believe I’m not heartbroken?! That I’m not devastated?!”

“If I could, I wish the world to be at peace, everyone dwelling in tranquility! But with my limited power, I can’t do it!!!”

“You think I haven’t considered escaping? But tell me, where should I escape to? Any place without the game? Name one! Speak up!” “The game on West Mountain Island is the most extensive one in this vicinity.” “As long as it’s there, other games won’t approach!”

“It’s for everyone’s safety that I play the villain! I’ve been tirelessly sending people in distress to the island every week, feeding that thing’s appetite! That’s why we’ve been able to stay here unscathed till now!” “Only when it’s sated, can we be safe!

“Only when it’s sated, can we continue to live here!”

“To live peacefully without giving anything in return, how is that possible?! Whoever among you thinks they can do a better job, step up! I, Zhao Jiantao, won’t object! I’d hand over the position of the Island Master immediately!!!” The crowd wore varied expressions, the murmuring gradually subsiding.

Some said: “Actually Uncle Zhao hasn’t had it easy either…”

“Uncle Zhao is doing it for our safety…”

“Uncle Zhao’s selections for the island aren’t exactly good people, that Aunt He always takes advantage of others, not to mention her gossips, it’s quieter without her.”

“Yeah, Uncle Zhao must have his reasons for doing this…”

Tan Xiao was baffled, this dramatic turn of events was like opening the door to a whole new world —

The perpetrator who has caused so many deaths was standing right there unaffected. What was even more terrifying was… he found himself agreeing with Uncle Zhao and these people as he listened!

Tan Xiao turned to look at Bai Youwei.

Bai Youwei was watching the spectacle with a smirk, a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.

He leaned in and asked, “…Why is this happening?”

Bai Youwei said: “The people here were all meticulously chosen by Zhao Jiantao. They all share a common trait, that is… they’re witless. To put it more subtly, they lack the ability to think independently and are easily influenced, brainwashed.”

After saying this, she looked at Tan Xiao with a smile, “Actually, you also fit the description pretty well. Come on, tell me, did you also find their arguments pretty convincing?”

Tan Xiao immediately puffed out his chest: “No, no!”
