Chapter 430: The Day Breaks
“What?” Shen Fei exclaid in surprise.
Shen Mo pushed him aside,”Go!”
“Brother!” Shen Fei was extrely anxious.
His eyes widened as he watched Shen Mo run to the treehouse, pick up Bai Youwei and jump behind it, disappearing from sight.
The others also scattered and ran.
Electricity danced around Mary and the toy cat, sparking fearfully, and no one dared to approach.
In a few seconds, the rabbit had stopped sparking and also bounded off!
Shen Fei gritted his teeth and turned to run!
But the whole route was full of dolls!
Display windows were filled with different types of dolls, street signs held dolls, even the trash cans were shaped like cartoon animals! Dolls were everywhere in the amusent park, but where was a place without dolls?!
A sign for a unisex bathroom appeared ahead. Shen Fei took a quick glance behind him, and seeing no sign of the toy cat, he sped up and turned into the bathroom!
Shen Mo, holding Bai Youwei, hid in the equipnt room of the water ride.
The room was filled with orange life jackets.
Shen Mo looked around, saw no dolls, put down Bai Youwei, and then got up to close the door.
Once the door was shut, the room beca quiet, separating them from the raucous music. It seed as if both danger and chaos had instantly moved away from them.
Bai Youwei closed her eyes, and her erratic heart finally cald down.
Bang!
Sothing hit the newly closed door.
Bai Youwei’s heart, which had just settled, lurched up again. It startled her!
Shen Mo furrowed his eyebrows and moved closer to the door to listen. He heard nothing.
He picked up the longsword again, and with other hand gripping the doorknob, he cautiously and slowly began to open the door…
The crack in the door had barely widened when a fluffy rabbit pushed its way in.
Both of them were stunned.
Shen Mo opened the door fully and the rabbit hopped in, scampering into Bai Youwei’s arms.
Shen Mo and Bai Youwei looked at each other, and the previously tense atmosphere instantly eased, leaving only a smile.
Shen Mo closed the door again and sat down, asking, “How much power does it have left?”
Playing with the rabbit’s ears, Bai Youwei answered softly, “About half.”
“Let it go and recharge.”
“Mm.”
She opened the toy house, the rabbit went inside to recharge, and they were the only two left in the equipnt room.
Shen Mo pulled her into his arms and they sat, resting by the wall.
He was sweaty, and his upper body was soaked, but Bai Youwei didn’t mind. Her head rested on his chest, as she listened to his strong, steady heartbeat. It made her feel safe and comforted. She closed her eyes too.
The confrontation with Mary had been too exhausting.
Ti ticked by, minute by minute.
No one spoke.
Occasionally, they heard loud footsteps outside and beca even quieter.
Mary kept cursing outside, furiously destroying the scenery and facilities on both sides of the road but she was unable to locate anyone.
The cat’s body was excessively large, preventing it from entering many narrow areas. If the dolls hadn’t silently provided clues, Mary would be wandering aimlessly within the park, like a headless fly!
She had the cat knock over the roadside trash cans, break the treehouse’s trunk, ruin a long string of colourful flags, and then wreak havoc in the ball pit.
Finally, the night was coming to an end.
Reluctantly, Mary and her cat returned to the rry-go-round.
The speed of the rry-go-round gradually slowed, and the music beca softer.
At last, it stopped. The toy cat let out a “ow”, curled itself up into a ball and fell asleep on top of the carousel roof; Mary patted her puffy skirt, found a comfortable angle on the cat, and also lay down to sleep.
anwhile, the clock tower let out a single “dong”!
Dawn arrived.
