I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 656, Section 2.5, Chapter 1: The House of Silk and the Dollhouse

"Daddy." A clear, childlike voice rang out, and a girl with long, soft, golden curly hair, as delicate and lovely as a doll, rubbed her watery blue eyes and walked in, hugging her beloved Mr. Bear doll.

The puppeteer, Joan, paused slightly in the hand holding the silk threads, turned her head slightly to look at her, her expression calm and revealing no trace of joy or anger.

"Lily, what's wrong?" Joan asked casually.

"It's a bit noisy in the basement," Miss Lily said softly, wearing a cute nightgown covered in bows.

Joan narrowed her cloudy, deep blue eyes slightly and said in a low, dangerous voice, "Do you remember my warning, Lily?"

“I remember.” Miss Lily tightened her grip on the Mr. Bear plushie slightly, nodded obediently, and said, “Remember, never go near the basement.”

"Okay, go buy breakfast at the nearby shop yourself," Joan replied casually, then took out five rabbit-head coins and placed them on the table.

"Okay, thank you, Dad." Miss Lily tiptoed to reach the rabbit head coin on the counter, then put it in her pocket and slowly walked out of the store.

Xie Yiyi was still hesitating whether to go in when she saw a little girl who looked only eight or nine years old walk out of the store.

Miss Lily glanced at Xie Yiyi at the door and snorted disdainfully. Just as she was about to leave, she seemed to see something behind Xie Yiyi, and her expression suddenly changed.

Her delicate and pretty face suddenly turned fierce, and she kept muttering, "I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you..."

While reciting, he kept backing away while hugging the bear plush toy, as if it were a venomous snake or a ferocious beast.

Xie Yiyi took a step back in fear and turned her head to look behind her, only to see an extremely beautiful girl.

She wore a simple yet exquisitely beautiful black dress embroidered with golden lilies, and a black ribbon braided into her misty gray hair swayed gently in the breeze. Her cool, silver eyes gazed silently at Miss Lily, calm and indifferent, as if she were looking at a stranger.

"Long time no see, Miss Lily." Her pink lips parted slightly, and her soft, sweet voice was both pleasant to hear and chilling, making one want to hug their arms and shiver.

"Who, who hasn't seen you in a long time!" Miss Lily's expression changed slightly. She subconsciously took a half step back while hugging her teddy bear and said angrily, pretending to be fierce but lacking confidence.

"Going out in your pajamas, Miss Lily, it seems your manners are only reserved for the bear in your arms," ​​Mu Yegui said softly.

"What do you mean!" Miss Lily frowned deeply and asked.

Mu Yegui covered her pink lips with her hand, her cold silver eyes carrying a hint of mockery. "So you mean your head is stuffed with cotton? You didn't absorb a single bit of the etiquette I taught you. Even a sponge is more capable than you."

Miss Lily: "..." Such a familiar way of mocking, the same recipe at different times. I miss it a little after not hearing it for more than a year, but no matter when I hear it again, it is still particularly infuriating!

"Um..." Xie Yiyi tried to speak softly, "Are you going to participate in a dungeon?"

Her cool, silver eyes glanced at Xie Yiyi, and she nodded.

"Can I go in with you? Because I'm scared... only my companions went in... I want to go find them... is that okay?" Xie Yiyi asked softly, her head lowered.

Fearing that Mu Yegui might disagree, she added, "I've read my companions' strategy guides, so I know a little bit about it."

Mu Yegui stared at Xie Yiyi for several seconds before taking the lead and walking forward. Just when Xie Yiyi thought Mu Yegui disagreed, she heard her say softly, "Let's go."

Xie Yiyi looked up in surprise and quickly followed.

Miss Lily pursed her lips when Mu Yegui ignored her again, snorted coldly, and turned to go buy breakfast.

The doorbell rang softly, and the door to the Silk House opened again.

Qiong slightly raised her eyes but paused when she saw who it was, then revealed a gentle smile unlike her usual one. "Welcome, finally... I've been waiting for you..." Her azure eyes were fixed on Mu Yegui, filled with a frightening longing and covetousness, as if she couldn't wait to possess her.

"Adele's final disappearance was in the Doll Town. Is this related to you?" Mu Yegui took a few steps forward to the counter and asked in a cold voice.

Qiong paused for a moment, then sighed with regret, "So it wasn't for a dungeon run? I've been waiting for you all this time."

"No, I am indeed here to conquer the dungeon, but I'm also investigating Adele's matter. After all, it concerns the Lord of Lust, and even for us players, the change of lord is a very important matter," Mu Yegui said slowly.

Mu Yegui paused, then continued, "So, were you involved in Adele's disappearance? According to the information, Adele was last seen in the Doll Town."

Qiong suddenly chuckled softly, the laughter sounding somewhat pleasant, but to Xie Yiyi it still felt terrifying, making her shudder involuntarily.

"Then, find the answer yourself. Survive in my instance and make it to the end, and I'll tell you whatever you want to know. But if you fail, then obediently become my cutest doll. Hehehehehehehehehehehehe!"

“Alright, let’s begin.” Mu Yegui said slowly, quietly watching Qiong’s distorted face.

"My lovely Mu Yegui, may I see your ticket?" Qiong's voice was full of pleasure as she stared intently at Mu Yegui with her deep blue eyes.

Xie Yi leaned closer to Mu Yegui and whispered a few words. Then she saw Mu Yegui reach out and grab a small white spider from the doll on the shelf, flicking it straight toward a certain spot.

The doll that the spider was talking about fell from the high shelf, bounced a few times on the ground, and then rolled to Mu Yegui's feet.

"This doll seems a little different?" Mu Yegui bent down to pick up the doll and said slowly to Qiong.

“Of course, because it’s missing a pair of beautiful eyes.” Joan said cryptically, “Not long ago, while breeding a new species of spider, I accidentally released the spider mother, which caused my dollhouse to be taken over. If you can help me get the ‘eye’ that I didn’t have time to bring out from the first floor of the dollhouse, I will give you a map of the dollhouse’s layout.”

Welcome to the 'House of Silk and Dolls'! I'm your good friend, Filu.

[Task 1: Please find the eyes of the doll with its closed eyes.]

[Task Two: Explore the Doll Museum and find the hidden real gem.]

[Task 3: Kill the Spider Queen.]

[Task Four: Fulfill Miss Lily's three insignificant wishes.]

[Instance Level: Unknown ???]

[Now, let's announce the rules of the game.]

[I. Different types of spiders possess different abilities. You can obtain all the information about them from the Puppeteer, but you must complete his mission.]

2. The dollhouse is unlit; please watch your step.

[III. Some rooms can only be opened when specific conditions are met.]

[IV. Only the 'eyes' designated by the puppeteer are the true eyes of the closed-eye puppet.]

5. Dolls are everywhere.

[Sixth, Miss Lily isn't strong, but she's really annoying. Failing to fulfill her wish will inevitably trigger a death ending.]

[Synopsis: Ever since the Puppeteer adopted Miss Lily, his temper has become increasingly eccentric. Do you remember, Miss Lily was actually the product of the Puppeteer's cuckoldry? To take her in as a daughter is truly astounding; the Puppeteer's mentality is undeniable. Recently, Mr. Adele's disappearance brought a turning point… What secrets does he harbor?]
