Everyone went quiet, then looked at Bai Youwei with complex expressions.

Noticing their scrutiny, Bai Youwei slightly hooked her lips, letting out a small smile.

Laughing at a time like this? She must be crazy!

Bai Youwei remained calm, idly petting her rabbit, seemingly indifferent to others’ gazes.

Yan Qingwen was two seats away from her. He glanced at Bai Youwei and Shen Mo’s side and realized that all five of them were there, while on his side, Lun Ang, Zhu Shu, and Li Li were present, but Su Man was missing.

It didn’t take long for him to realize that they had always been within the Doll Game’s area. The reason why they had been safe was that the number of people never met the game’s criteria.

But when Fei Ge brought his large group over, they accidentally fulfilled this criteria.

The total number of people present… was 36.

He counted again.

That’s right — it seemed that the game wouldn’t be triggered unless there were 36 players.

36 people sat on a giant roulette wheel, the wheel was bright red and the seats were metallic. They were restrained by some special device, which only allowed their hands to move freely.

In the center of the wheel, there was a thin, long, black pointer, which was currently motionless, pointing to the midpoint between number 1 and number 36.

Li Li sat at number 36. He was the last person to enter the game area.

From this deduction, Su Man should be in the world outside of the game, safe for now.

As Yan Qingwen contemplated, the roulette wheel began to subtly transform —

Above the black pointer, rectangular question boards materialized, one after another. The boards were semi-transparent, like pieces of glass, engraved with words such as: Poetry, Literature, Mathematics, Language, Art, Music…

All the boards lined up neatly in layers, forming a long circle, rotating slowly before their eyes, like Tibetan prayer wheels.

Bai Youwei whispered to Shen Mo beside her, “This must be the Lucky Quiz that Tu Dan mentioned, right?”

Tu Dan and his students had encountered two games, one was the Lucky Quiz and the other was Mushroom Picking.

“They came across the Lucky Quiz at their school,” said Shen Mo, examining the question boards, “It looks like the Doll Game really can move.”

“I wonder what kind of tool they’re going to reward us with~” Bai Youwei seemed a little excited, “It must be more useful than a mushroom, which is why Chen Hui was reluctant to give it to me.”

Shen Mo gave her a funny look, “It’s the thought that counts. Chen Hui gave you the mushroom as a token of affection.”

“I didn’t complain.” Bai Youwei laughed, “Anyway, if it were up to me, I’d definitely keep the good stuff for myself.”

No sooner had she finished speaking, a grey figure appeared above the pointer.

“Welcome, everyone. I am the Inspector for this game.”

An old, hoarse voice, reminiscent of an elderly person.

Through the semi-transparent boards, the crowd saw an old man in a grey robe sitting in the center of the pointer.

Although they referred to it as an old man, nobody was certain, for its face was unseen. It wore a white faceless mask with its body wrapped in a wide grey cloak, even its exposed fingers were bandaged as if it was a mummy.

This was the fourth Inspector Bai Youwei had seen.

She had a feeling that each Inspector represented something, like the first embodied rationale, the second—childlike innocence, the third—extravagance, and the fourth… antiquity? Conservatism?

She couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

The room fell silent, only the old man’s slow and hoarse voice echoed as he explained the rules:

“The Lucky Quiz consists of two rounds. The first round is the Buzz-in, with a total of 36 questions. Each correct answer scores 1 point, with up to 3 points in total.

The second round is the Must Answer, with a total of 36 questions. Each correct answer scores 1 point, each incorrect answer deducts 1 point. Once a player’s score reaches zero, they are eliminated.

The game will be over after two rounds.”
