Chapter 820 Contraption Games 3
Benjamin knitted his brows, not knowing what those dolls were implying.
He had no idea who told the truth and who lied. There were altogether nine dolls, but it was difficult to determine who was the friend that the giant doll was looking for.
After falling into deep thought for a moment, Benjamin looked at the dolls in the mirror. The way they gaped and shut their mouths repeatedly was about to drive him mad.
Upon noticing his reaction, Natalie said in an icy voice, “Cover one of your ears.”
Benjamin gave her a confused look.
“They’re disrupting your mind with the beta waves.” A sharp glint flashed across Natalie’s eyes. “The music and the children’s voices contain beta waves that would cause you to hallucinate. The beta waves will continuously convince you that you’ve become an integral part of the fairytale and will not be able to escape from it.”
Benjamin instantly covered one of his ears and asked her, “How did you know all this?”
“I’ve studied this before.” Natalie looked into the man’s eyes and said, “The structure of my ears is different from that of ordinary humans, and I’m able to distinguish the different types of waves. They can’t affect me because I’m used to being exposed to them.”
What? That’s crazy!
Once again, Benjamin’s jaw dropped upon hearing what Natalie uttered.
On the other hand, Natalie kept mum, but there were countless thoughts running through her mind.
She had finally learned how twisted King was.
Judging from the tricks he played, she could tell that King was a meticulous person.
Sh*t!
It’s like we’re insects trapped in a jar—the subject of his experiment. He’ll lock us in as long as he can so that he can torture us.
Benjamin heeded Natalie’s advice and covered one of his ears.
Sure enough, he felt much better after that, and he could tell that the dolls were mere projected images.
“Is it possible that some of the dolls might be telling the truth?” Benjamin asked a hypothetical question. “What if one of them told the truth and the remaining eight uttered nonsense? We might be able to work out the logic and find the doll that told the truth?”
“I agree,” Natalie replied casually, “but I don’t think that’s what we should focus on.”
“What?” Benjamin frowned.
“I have the answer.”
“What did you say?” Benjamin could not believe his ears.
Before Benjamin could react, Natalie walked to the fifth mirror and shoved the flat reflecting surface aside.
All of a sudden, the entire room started shaking.
One might find it hard to believe that this kind of room would exist in a theater.
Meanwhile, the circus troupe in the theater continued performing, with fireworks and confetti showering the stage. Both children and their parents were thrilled to watch the extravagant performance.
None of them noticed the dramatic changes in the room beside the stage.
As the room continued trembling, Natalie began to wobble.
When Natalie thought she was about to fall, Benjamin, who stood beside her, caught her in the nick of time.
Natalie had no choice but to rely on the man to steady herself.
Benjamin could feel the woman fall onto his chest involuntarily.
Such intimacy instantly evoked a strange yet familiar feeling, but it was not the right time for him to reminisce about the long-lost affection.
A few seconds later, a walkway surfaced at the fifth mirror’s initial location.
Once Natalie was able to stand on her own feet, she immediately pulled herself away. “Thanks!”
Her reaction caused the already conflicted Benjamin to be even more overwhelmed by mixed feelings.
“Why the fifth mirror, though?” Benjamin wondered.
“The things that the dolls said are not important,” Natalie explained. “There are nine of them, so if the doll wants to befriend others, it can only make eight friends.”
She explained further, “Be it right or wrong, the so-called ninth friend would be the doll itself. In other words, we only need to find that particular doll. The fifth doll is the answer because it has a mole on the bottom of its left eye like the other giant dolls.”
