Chapter 816: Chapter 819

Chapter 819 Contraption Games 2 Even though it was a familiar children’s lullaby, the doll managed to make it sound creepy.

Natalie stared into the giant doll’s empty eyes and gritted her teeth. “What is this ludicrous contraption? Why is there an authentication method like this? I don’t understand why it’s so convoluted!”

Benjamin explained, “It’s not weird that King designs a contraption like this. Blaze rarely ever does anything in a predictable way.

King claimed himself as the creator and that nothing escapes his grasp. The reason he put such a contraption in the theme park’s theater is to mess with anyone who barges in here. He intentionally uses this kind of method to torture people’s minds. If we can’t give him the answer he wants, not only will we fail to enter the base, but we may also die here! He’s an arrogant, egotistical, and absurd man!”

The longer Natalie stared at the creepy doll, the more she felt King was a pervert through and through.

“Pay attention to the lyrics,” Benjamin reminded in a low voice. “We need to find the ninth friend to pass through here.”

She was complaining about how crazy the game was in her mind. However, she had no choice but to listen carefully to the voice.

“Where’s the ninth friend? If you can find the ninth friend, we can go and play in the next area! You can help me, right? If you can’t find my friend, you’ll have to stay here and accompany me!” The doll’s sweet voice was so sweet that it gave them goosebumps.

Benjamin shot her a glance and walked toward the door to open it. However, the door was already locked.

“It’s locked,” he informed. “If we can’t pass this stage, then we’ll be trapped here. We got two possible outcomes. Either we die of hunger here or we get killed by other contraptions in the room.”

Natalie tightened her fist. Now I know why Yara didn’t leave any clues about this room. There are two entries to the base. She must’ve usually gone through the other one. There is tight security there while this one is well-hidden. She only knows about the existence of this passageway and nothing else about it because she has never come here before. In any case, we’re already here. Whether we wanted it or not, there’s no turning back for us.

“All right, Benjamin. Let’s find that ninth friend.” She stared at the giant doll. “Only then will we be able to enter the secret passageway.”

Benjamin was getting less and less surprised by her behavior. This woman cannot be judged by conventional standards. She’s braver and more intelligent than most men.

“Mhm,” he replied.

The whole room was about thirty square meters. The giant doll took up a third of the room while the rest was occupied by the mirrors.

All projections of the dolls in the mirrors had different appearances.

“One, two, three, four... There’s nine.” She pursed her lips. “One of the nine dolls here is the ninth friend the giant doll is looking for. We got a one-in-nine chance to pick the right one, but I bet the contraption only allows us to pick once. The entrance to the secret passageway must be hiding behind one of these mirrors. If we push open the wrong one, we die.”

Benjamin nodded in agreement and approached the first one.

The projection in front of the first mirror was a male doll in a red checkered outfit. It blinked and informed, “The friend you’re looking for is the fourth one to my right.”

Natalie approached the second mirror next to him. The projection was showing a female doll wearing a pink princess dress. It cried, “The friend you’re looking for is me!”

The third was a male doll in an overall. It said, “Hehe! It’s not me! It’s the second one to my left!”

They went through the dolls one by one until they reached the final one.

Everything the dolls said didn’t seem to have any connection with each other on the surface.
