I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today Chapter 272 – Going to the First Floor

Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Going to the First Floor

Translator: 549690339

Li Li found an old English book with tattered pages, which recorded many foreign folk tales.

As they were not fairy tales, many were incomplete, and some legends were only briefly mentioned.

About the Water Monster, the book recorded:

The Water Monster’s home lies deep underwater, where shiny treasures are kept.

There was only that.

Li Li spent over two hours thoroughly perusing the book all the way to its last page, but regrettably, he found no further information on the Water Monster.

Nobody else found anything in the books they were looking at either.

Information on the Spring Bear and Autumn Nail Teeth Monster was also missing.

Of course, there were still many unread books where the remaining clues could be hidden, but they would need more time and energy to read through all the books in the study.

This was not feasible. Without food and water, they couldn’t continue to exhaust themselves like this.

Everyone reconvened in the attic.

Yan Qingwen said, “Summer starts at three in the afternoon and it’s now eight at night. If we haven’t found the treasure three hours from now, summer will continue.”

According to the game rules, a change of season occurs every eight hours, but if after eight hours, the guests still remain outside, then time will stay within the corresponding season.

Li Li asked, “Did any of you find anything shiny?”

They looked at each other.

“The scope for ‘shiny’ is too broad.” Bai Youwei said, “Mirrors in the house, the glass windows, reflective silver forks and spoons, even the glass eyeballs on these dolls, all could be considered shiny. Just from this, we can’t pinpoint the target.”

“Since it’s something to be given to a guest, it must be quite unique  mirrors, glasses, these things, are probably not it.” Zhu Shu looked at everybody and hesitantly said, “What if, we search again? There are still three hours, we have time ”

“We’ve searched almost eight hundred times, if it could be found, we’d have found it by now.” Su Man was irritable though her hands never stopped rummaging through the items around her.

She found a glass bottle hourglass and muttered, “Does this count as shiny?

She then found a piece of a toy train and touching the metallic engine asked, “Does this count?”

If anything shiny was acceptable, then the range would be just too wide.

“I still think the treasure is on the first floor.” Li Li lowered his head, his voice weaker than usual because of his injuries, “The Spring Bear woke up and it was truly worried when it lost two kids. The bear was looking for a teddy bear that looked like itself, then… this heavy summer rain made everything pitch black, it’s hard to see where the treasure is. There must be a reason why they specifically mentioned pitch black, every word in the nursery rhyme has its deeper intent, we should probably look for the treasure in pitch black places.”

“You mean we should search the first floor?” Tan Xiao widened his eyes, “But the first floor is flooded!”

Li Li looked at him, “As long as the flashlight is wrapped in plastic wrap before diving into the water, it should be alright.”

Tan Xiao was more surprised: “Where are we going to find plastic wrap?”

“If there’s no plastic wrap, then a plastic bag can substitute.” Yan Qingwen said, “I think Li Li’s method is worth a try.”

“The problem is we don’t have plastic bags either.” Tan Xiao looked at them, his face full of confusion, “Almost everything that could be used is on the first floor! But the first floor is flooded!”

After thinking for a moment, Shen Mo stood up, “I can go down for a look. It’s hard to find ‘treasure’ in the dark, but it shouldn’t be too difficult to find things if we know the exact location and direction.”
