Bai Youwei murmured, “We are the masters of the dollhouse, and they are the guests of the dollhouse. As masters, we entertain our guests If we take the wrong item and provoke the guests, we will have to face their rampage.”

She seemed thoughtful, her gaze falling on the music box on the cabinet.

The Crystal Ball noticed her gaze and gave a light shake, “Hey, why are you looking at me?”

Bai Youwei smiled, “Nothing much, I just find that nursery rhyme catchy. Can I listen to it again?”

“Sure.” The ball responded generously, “Just come and wind the spring.”

Shen Mo walked over, picked up the music box and gave it a few turns. The music followed, along with that nursery rhyme-

Spring Bear is awake,

it lost two children and is really in a rush;

The summer rain is heavy,

It’s pitch black and the treasure can’t be seen;

Who came in the autumn?

Look, the Nail Tooth Monster is toothless when it opens its mouth?

Winter, winter is finally here

Which child will see the snowflake?

Listening to it again, Bai Youwei’s confusion remained unresolved. She rested her chin in her hand and muttered, “Strange why is it so simple ?”

Yan Qingwen glanced at her, “Spring is about finding the bear’s children, summer is about finding treasure, the Autumn Nail Tooth Monster has no teeth; literally it should mean finding teeth, but we don’t know what the Nail Tooth Monster is yet, so we’ll ignore the teeth for now. The last sentence, ‘which child will see the snowflake’, should mean which player will survive until winter.”

“If we take it all literally, indeed there are no obvious challenges.” Shen Mo looked around, “Unless what we are looking for is not in this house.”

Bai Youwei frowned and looked at the Crystal Ball, “Are you sure what we’re looking for is in this house? If it’s out of scope, there must be hints, otherwise it would be breaking the rules.”

“Of course it’s in this house!” The Crystal Ball huffed proudly, “Every game designed by the inspectors is absolutely fair and just! How could it possibly be designed to prevent players from passing? Am I really that bad?”

Bai Youwei: “You are.”

The Crystal Ball jumped!

It jumped half a meter high, as if it was infuriated!

“You player are crossing the line! If I was so bad, do you think the people last time would have passed safely?!”

Bai Youwei: “If you weren’t so bad, we wouldn’t have had to hold out until the ninth round to pass.”

Ball:

Yan Qingwen said: “So, you’ve met before?”

“What, haven’t you?” Bai Youwei was intrigued, and asked him curiously, “You’ve also passed the game, which Inspectors have you met?”

Yan Qingwen said: “The first Inspector we met, had a rabbit’s head, looked like a gentleman, but sounded like a lady. The second Inspector we met  was very tall.”

“Was he blond and blue-eyed, looked like an out-of-date character from a 1980s girls’ comic, and had particularly long arms and legs, like a noodle man?” Bai Youwei asked.

Yan Qingwen laughed, nodding, “I haven’t read girls’ comics, so I don’t know if that’s similar, but he did have blonde hair and blue eyes.”

“That guy has a lot of tricks, likes to drive people into a corner.” Shen Mo frowned slightly, seemingly repulsed, “I hope we don’t run into him again.”

“I think it’s quite interesting, very innovative.” Bai Youwei said with a smiling face, “The one I don’t want to meet again is the Gray Robe Monster, his games are so boring, and so rudimentary.”

“The Rabbit Head’s game is actually not bad, the rules are simple and crude, there’s not so many twists and turns.” Yan Qingwen commented.

Bai Youwei agreed: “Yes, the simpler the rules are, the more they challenge the balance of the game, and the Rabbit Head is much cuter than the others.”

Unknowingly, the three began to discuss which Inspector’s game was better.

The Crystal Ball, having listened to their conversation, couldn’t contain itself and asked, “What about me, what about me? How about my game?”
