136: Chapter 136 Alice's Doll Tea Party 29

Luo Yuejian ran upstairs.

The castle's stairs were spiral stairs; although she climbed several flights, the actual height she ascended wasn't very high.

After running for a while, Luo Yuejian felt her physical strength was almost depleted. When she turned her head, she was instantly startled.

She saw those Maid Outfit Dolls Climbing up on all fours in an extremely bizarre posture that exceeded human limits.

This crawling posture was much faster than running on two legs. Thus, even though they had been left far behind earlier, those Maid Outfit Dolls were now catching up one after another.

Their limbs, which showed clear signs of doll joints, made a creaking sound. With ten Maid Outfit Dolls doing it together, the sound was enough to give anyone goosebumps.

Luo Yuejian cursed in her mind, but suddenly felt a surge of strength throughout her body. At this moment, she was dedicated to exhausting her stamina to lay the groundwork for the Maid Outfit Dolls to finish her off, so she didn't hold back in her performance.

She took a breath, then continued running up until she saw the end of the 5th Floor, where she stood still. The Maid Outfit Dolls behind her caught up extremely quickly. Almost the moment she climbed to the top floor, she turned around and saw those blank, stiff faces lunging at her.

Reflexively, Luo Yuejian kicked out fiercely, knocking over the Maid Outfit Doll closest to her. The kicked Maid Outfit Doll tumbled backward, bringing down two other Maid Outfit Dolls behind her down the stairs.

Behind them, several Maid Outfit Dolls lunged forward together. This was definitely not something Luo Yuejian could easily resist on her own.

Seeing that she was about to be tackled, Luo Yuejian's expression remained cold, showing no fear whatsoever in the face of so many Maid Outfit Dolls with terrifying strength.

At the critical moment, she suddenly turned sideways and kicked off the wall, using the tight space of the stairwell to perform a triangle jump. She flipped over the outer edge of the 4th Floor platform to the lower handrail, then slid down the handrail with agile movements.

Luo Yuejian inexplicably felt like she was kiting them.

When those Maid Outfit Dolls caught up with her again, Luo Yuejian did the same thing. Exerting force with her arms, she pulled herself up through the gap in the stairwell.

Only this time, because she was running out of stamina, her foot was almost grabbed by a Maid Outfit Doll.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be frowning by now, trying to figure out how to break this deadlock.

But Luo Yuejian was different. At this moment, she was delighted, thinking that her idea this time was simply genius. It didn't look like she was slacking off, yet it perfectly achieved her goal of exhausting her physical strength.

Along the way, she had even used various means to knock down the Maid Outfit Dolls that were chasing her relentlessly several times.

However, these Maid Outfit Dolls were virtually immune to damage. Except for one Maid Outfit Doll whose limbs were broken from rolling down the stairs and could no longer get up, the other Maid Outfit Dolls remained agile and intact.

Luo Yuejian's stamina was limited, but the Maid Outfit Dolls had infinite stamina. Moreover, Luo Yuejian only fled and dodged without actively attacking. This wasn't even a fight of the same scale, and soon, the victor was decided.

Realizing she was out of stamina and unable to continue running, Luo Yuejian didn't hesitate to run into the nearest floor.

She had come prepared, aiming to find a dead end for herself and completely block her own retreat.

Luo Yuejian was deeply moved by her own foresight. How many hosts were there like her, who tried their best and seriously completed the system's tasks? Unfortunately, that dog system was completely ungrateful and did nothing but pit her!

Luo Yuejian was cornered by several Maid Outfit Dolls in a corner of the 4th Floor, making it difficult to break through.

Despite the deadpan expression still on her face, she was actually overjoyed inside. Luo Yuejian screamed in her heart—

Let the storm rage even harder!

At this moment, the Little Girl with a Crown also slowly arrived on the 4th Floor, standing behind the Maid Outfit Dolls and watching everything quietly.

This game ends here, she thought.

Luo Yuejian thought so too.

At this moment, there were only three words in her mind—

Seek swift death!

Luo Yuejian looked at the several Maid Outfit Dolls surrounding her in tight inner and outer circles, feeling incredibly comfortable.

This was the feeling—the feeling of having absolutely no way out. It was so reassuring. Luo Yuejian hadn't felt this comfortable in a long time.

She pretended to retreat, but in reality, she wished she could take a few more steps forward. However, as she backed up, her foot suddenly stepped on a cylindrical object.

Luo Yuejian almost slipped and immediately tried to stabilize herself. The best way in this situation was to jump straight up from where she stood.

This jump saved Luo Yuejian from falling and making a fool of herself, but something unexpected happened.

Those Maid Outfit Dolls were only a little over a meter tall, and Luo Yuejian's jumping ability had been enhanced by the Infinite Card...

This led to a consequence: Luo Yuejian actually jumped higher than the Maid Outfit Dolls with this single leap.

This wouldn't have been a big deal normally, but as if acting on a subconscious habit from her earlier parkour high, Luo Yuejian instinctively kicked off the wall.

This kick ruined everything. Luo Yuejian flew right out of the Maid Outfit Dolls' encirclement and charged straight toward the Little Girl with a Crown.

Holy crap!

Realizing that things seemed to be getting out of hand, Luo Yuejian was extremely panicked. But when she clearly saw the current state of the Little Girl with a Crown, her racing heart instantly settled back into her chest.

She saw that the Little Girl with a Crown had actually kept two Maid Outfit Dolls by her side for personal protection. At the same time, after realizing something was wrong, a milky-white ripple shimmered over her body.

It looked like some kind of protective shield.

Luo Yuejian was absolutely thrilled, thinking, 'Damn, as expected of a veteran player! Her style of doing things is so meticulous. She's so much better than those useless trash I met before!'

Luo Yuejian swore in her heart that after she resurrected, she would definitely burn paper money for the Little Girl with a Crown! She'd burn billions of hell bank notes for her.

When the Little Girl with a Crown noticed that Luo Yuejian seemed to have the intention of breaking through the encirclement and charging at her, her expression instantly darkened.

She was actually very nervous. She knew the strength of the White-haired Girl all too well.

Although they had never faced each other directly, The man with the emerald and the Old Man with a Cane had both died at the hands of the White-haired Girl. With such terrifying strength, it was impossible for the Little Girl with a Crown not to feel fear.

Seeing Luo Yuejian charging toward her now, the Little Girl with a Crown immediately activated her lifebound item. It was a protective item that could be used once per game to block one fatal attack.

While retreating, she shouted loudly, 'Stop her!'
