I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

“By the time Tu Dan returned upstairs, all the students had gathered around Zhang Tianyang’s bed.

Unable to resist, the boys started to touch the spot where his injury used to be. They found it incredible that such a severe wound could heal in no time, leaving not even a scar behind.

The girls, though shy to touch, could not help but sneak peeks at his chest.

Zhang Tianyang, feeling both helpless and amused, repeatedly assured everyone, “It really doesn’t hurt anymore. I also do not understand the principle behind it. When the mud was applied, it didn’t feel extraordinary…”

While he was speaking, he noticed Tu Dan returning from outside and quickly called out, “Teacher Tu!” Everyone turned their attention to Tu Dan and gathered around her— “Teacher Tu, you’re back.”

“You’ve been talking with them for quite a while…”

“…Teacher Tu, did you find out which game this mud comes from? If we could bring this kind of mud into the fog, our chances of victory would increase significantly, right?”

With a dozen students speaking at the same time, the not-so-spacious dormitory instantly became noisy.

Tu Dan gestured for everyone to stay quiet.

“I’ve discovered it, as well as the method to clear the game, but the danger remains high. If you want to go, we will split into two teams as before, based on volunteers. The first team will go first, and if there’s no problem, the second team will follow,” said Tu Dan.

The risk for the first team is significant, but they get access to the props first.

The second team may seem safer, but they usually consist of the more timid ones, who might mess things up. (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com

The students began to discuss privately about the pros and cons of both options.

Zhang Tianyang, now fully recovered, slowly got up from his bed and asked,

“Teacher, have the names of those entering the fog been decided yet?”

Tu Dan paused briefly, “Not yet, do you have any suggestions?”

Zhang Tianyang hesitated for a moment before gathering the courage to say, “Teacher, I want to go into the fog.”

As his words fell, the entire dormitory went silent.

All students were looking at Zhang Tianyang.

A girl voiced softly, “Tianyang, your injury has just healed…”

“My injury is fine now.” Zhang Tianyang smiled casually, his gaze sweeping across his classmates’ faces. “Though it might sound a bit audacious, but… I have the best academic and physical performance in the class, and I also have experience from two games, so I should be the most suitable candidate, right?”

He looked at Tu Dan again, his voice pleading, “Teacher, let me go. I really want to know what the doll game is all about, and what happened to our families swallowed by the white fog. If I can’t make it, I fear the other students definitely won’t.”

Tu Dan looked at the student in front of her, her heavy heart filled with a sense of helplessness.

If possible, she did not want to see any student take such a risk, but the world had changed. She could no longer protect them and at times, she even needed their protection.

Tu Dan sighed deeply, failing to respond directly, she replied tactfully, “…This matter is extremely important, I need more time to think about it.”

Zhang Tianyang tried to say something more, but Tu Dan patted his shoulder and left the dormitory.

At night, Tu Dan laid in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Initially her mind was occupied with each student, but then her thoughts unconsciously drifted to the people downstairs.

If…the people entering the fog were them, would they be as troubled as she was?

“Teacher Tu.”

Tu Dan came back to her senses at the sound, turned her head and saw a girl from the adjacent bed, named Chen Hui, watching her with bright black eyes.

The dorm room housed six people, where Tu Dan and a few other female students shared. The girl sleeping next to her was Chen Hui, the class study representative.

Zhang Tianyang wasn’t always the one who ranked first. Occasionally, Chen Hui would take the top spot.

“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Tu Dan asked her, while keeping her voice as low as possible to avoid waking the other two girls.

In a soft voice, Chen Hui asked, “Teacher Tu, are you still thinking about the issue of who should enter the fog?”
