With that in mind, Li Wei ran an experiment himself. The result was-it didn't work.
Or rather, if he disguised the Doll as a corpse or something similar, simply touching it did indeed feel like touching human skin. But if it was attacked, it would turn back into a Doll. In other words, the disguise covering the Doll was more like an illusion. No wonder the system specified [outside combat]. Once combat began, the disguise could no longer be maintained.
And without Li Wei controlling it, it would remain motionless like a living corpse, showing no reaction at all.
That made it rather pointless...
Over the following days, the newspapers mainly carried reports about the Dragon. After all, this was the first time a Dragon had truly been discovered in this world, and people were very curious about it. Of course, the papers also revealed some updates on the exploration of the underground city.
Or rather, there hadn't really been any progress.
Just as Li Wei had suspected, the underground city seemed to be more than a simple structure dating back to the Golden Race's era. The investigation team discovered military armor in a warehouse deep within the city. Although time had corroded it beyond use, judging by its size, ordinary people could never have worn it.
The investigation team was divided into two camps on this point. One believed that the giants of the Golden Age might truly have existed, while the other thought the armor was probably just a prop for sacrificial ceremonies and proved nothing. However, they hadn't found any skeletal remains in the city, which was somewhat disappointing. As things stood, the Dragon had most likely swallowed them all.
With everyone's attention focused on the Dragon and the underground city, Li Wei naturally began slacking off.
