The darkness lasted only for five or six seconds, but it felt like an eternity.
Bai Youwei squinted and saw a sphere sliding down from a gap at the top of the cave—its diameter was a perfect fit with the gap, thus it blocked the only source of light when it came down.
After the sphere descended, the light reappeared, and everyone saw a golden sphere hovering under the gap. The sunlight shed on the sphere, making its golden color dazzlingly brilliant and blinding.
"Hello, everyone! I am the Inspector of this game, welcome to the Doll's Game!"
The golden ball was speaking.
Its tone of voice was lively and childish, like a five or six-year-old child.
It spun around in the air, drifted past each person, stirring up gusts of wind—
"We have so many players this time! Five, six, seven, eight, nine... uh-uh, so many! Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty... thirty-three! A total of thirty-three players for the game! Please play earnestly and try your best to pass!"
