"We have arrived at the Yinshan Community Station. Passengers who want to get off the train please go to the back door. The front door is only for getting on and off."
Outside the car, an old building with mottled exterior walls gradually appeared. In front of the building, there was a layer of snow just above the ankles.
It was obviously the beginning of autumn before we got on the bus, but at this stop it was bright winter.
Anxi confirmed the destination on the ticket again and stepped out of the car resolutely from the back door.
A strange sound sounded as she got out of the car.
[The copy "Warm Home" has been opened]
[This copy is a single-player rules copy, please abide by the rules and live well. 】
[Copy content: You are a girl in high school. Your mother passed away six months ago, so you dropped out of school and took over all the housework at home.
Family life is not easy, please live it as a sister should. 】
[Requirements for clearing the copy: Survive for three days]
The voice fell.
"elder sister!"
A clear and loud child's voice suddenly appeared behind An Qian.
She turned around and saw a little boy wearing a black cotton coat and carrying a cartoon backpack standing behind her.
The little boy has pale skin and no flesh on his face. His two big black eyes stand out, like a frog with bulging eyes, which is scary and penetrating.
"Sister, are you back from grocery shopping?"
Buying groceries?
Anxi looked down at herself, her hands empty.
The little boy tilted his head and looked at her, and when he noticed that her hands were empty, he suddenly grinned and shouted: "Hehehehe, sister forgot to buy groceries again. If she forgets to buy groceries, sister will lose another piece of meat tonight!"
The little boy's tone was innocent, but the words he spoke made Anxi, who was only wearing a thin coat, even more chilled.
She swallowed to relieve her tension, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is there no leftover food in the refrigerator at home?"
"Sister, what are you talking about?"
The little boy frowned and looked confused. He looked up at Anxi: "Didn't Dad have a rule not to eat leftovers?"
"Dad has a rule?"
"Yes, the rules written by dad are posted on the wall. Didn't dad tell you to read them again every day? Sister forgot again, so be careful dad punishes you!"
The fact that his father punished his sister seemed extremely interesting to the little boy. After he finished speaking, he laughed weirdly.
Anxi didn't respond.
After listening to what the boy said, she had a rough guess in her mind.
The content of the copy states that her identity is that of a "sister" and requires her to live according to her identity.
And this "how it should be" is probably the rules written by the little boy's father. She must act according to the rules in this novice copy to survive successfully.
Thinking of this, Anxi decided to go home first and check the specific content of the regulations.
She looked at the little boy beside her who was still giggling, and said in a soft tone: "Sister, I forgot to bring the bag for shopping. Please accompany me home first."
"Yeah!"
The little boy agreed directly as Anxi expected.
This little boy doesn't look very smart.
Just now Anxi asked him what the rules were, and he answered her without saying a word. She never doubted why Anxi, as a sister, didn't know the rules set by her father.
"Let's go!"
The little boy naturally held Anxi's hand. His hand was extremely cold. He didn't know whether it was because of the winter or because his body temperature was not high.
He led Anxi into the building, walked all the way to the fourth floor, stopped in front of the door of room 401, then took out the key from the mezzanine of the cartoon school bag, inserted it into the door lock and turned it twice.
Click.
The door opened.
Anxi waited for the little boy to enter the house first before following him.
The furnishings in the room are very retro, with brown leather sofas, white silk scarves draped everywhere on the cabinets, and calendars with celebrity heads on the walls, which is the decoration style of the 1980s.
Anxi took a few more steps into the house, and a damp musty smell hit her face. But other than this musty smell, the house was relatively clean and the things were neatly arranged.
However, Anxi didn't have much thought about the decoration of the house. Her eyes wandered around the walls, looking for "the rules written by dad".
soon.
She saw a piece of yellowed white paper taped to the wall where the light switch was. The four sides of the white paper were firmly taped to the wall.
Anxi walked to the wall covered with white paper and carefully read the words written with a pen on the white paper.
[Rule 1: There are no leftovers in the refrigerator. I have to eat fresh food every night. You can only go out to buy groceries at two o'clock every afternoon]
[Rule 2: Take good care of your younger brother. If your younger brother wants to play games, play games with him]
[Rule 3: After returning to your own room at night, you are not allowed to open the door again until three o'clock in the morning the next day. 】
[Rule 4: The wall clock at home is ▇▇, it will tell you the ▇▇ time. 】
[Rule 5: Turn on the TV at 12 noon and turn it off at 1 pm]
[Rule 6: Do not open the door when the milkman comes to deliver milk at five o'clock in the morning, and take the milk home at six o'clock]
[Rule 7: Don’t talk to other women when they are at home]
After reading this rule, Anxi fell into a brief silence.
She couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the contents of the copy.
Is she really here to be a sister? Not here to be a servant?
Anxi didn't think about using correction fluid to change the rules, because she could tell from the little boy that these rules were written by his father.
She hasn't yet figured out the strength of the correction fluid's ability, nor the depth of the copy.
What if after she changed it, her father could change it back or even more outrageously, or if his father simply took out a piece of paper and rewritten the new rules, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity and more loss than gain?
She still had two chances to use it today. She decided to use the troops to block it and the water to cover it up.
"Sister, why don't you go out to buy groceries? Dad will be back soon. If he doesn't have food to eat when he comes back, he will lose his temper again!"
The little boy stood behind her and urged her to go out to buy groceries, but the rule stated that she could only go out at two in the afternoon.
Anxi glanced at the clock on the wall.
The hour hand read six o'clock in the afternoon. She took out her mobile phone again, but it still didn't respond.
The rule describing the clock was smudged with black ink, and Anthy wasn't sure whether the clock was accurate or wrong.
But no matter how dark the sky outside was, it couldn't be two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Go out and buy groceries!"
The little boy was still urging her behind her back.
Anxi ignored it, she had already made up her mind not to go out.
She turned around and took a few steps into the kitchen.
There was a green leather refrigerator in the kitchen. Anxi reached out and opened the door of the refrigerator and peeked inside.
Neatly placed in the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator were several plates of moldy leftovers that had grown white hair and emitted a foul odor.
The original shape of the leftover food cannot be seen, but a few eyeballs and a puddle of reddish-brown blood can be vaguely seen.
"What does this family eat?"
Anxi took out one of the plates and dabbed it with correction fluid.
【Ding! 】
["Moldy fried fish and baby slices" has been detected. Would you like to modify or add a prefix? 】
"Dry fried baby fish slices?"
Anxi glanced at the dish in her hand. She had never heard of the fish baby mentioned in the clip.
But just by hearing this name, you can imagine a half-human, half-fish baby, which is really disgusting and weird.
"That's all, I won't eat it anyway, I'll eat freshly baked dry-fried baby fish slices instead."
[It has been changed to "Freshly baked dry-fried fish baby slices", please check it]
The words fell.
The leftovers that were originally cold in the fresh-keeping layer suddenly became steaming hot, and the mold floating on the vegetable soup also disappeared.
The tender fish fillets glistening with oil and dotted with a few pieces of broccoli look particularly appetizing.
Anxi turned around and walked to the dining table and placed fresh fried fish and baby slices on it.
Kaka——
The sound of the door lock turning also happened to sound.
"Dad is back!"
The little boy who was originally depressed because Anxi didn't go out danced when he heard the sound of the door lock turning, shouting happily: "Daddy is back! Dad is back! My sister didn't buy groceries today! Daddy wants to eat the leftovers!"
The door opened to the joyful and strange cry of the little boy.
Anxi turned around and looked, but there was no figure behind the door.
The door is just open and empty,
All I could see was the flashing of the sensor lights in the corridor.
call--
The sound of the air being broken.
Heavy footsteps suddenly fell on the house, making a crunching sound on the floor.
The crunching sound didn't stop until it reached the dining table.
The footsteps stopped,
The air in the room also became quiet and depressing at this moment.
"Snapped!"
There was a sharp tap on the dining table in the silence.
Following the loud noise, the lights in the house flickered.
Cold breath came from all directions, and a black shadow began to condense in the air next to the dining table, with an outline that looked like a middle-aged man.
"Hehehehe! Dad is really angry!"
The little boy screamed happily, and his favorite family farce took place.
"When dad is angry, my sister will lose a piece of meat! When dad is angry, my sister will lose a piece of meat!"
As the little boy shouted, Anxi found that the black shadow was getting closer and closer to her.
The black shadow twisted and shook, roaring, angry and ferocious, like a hungry beast preparing to attack.
Anxi didn't panic because of this. She pointed to the stir-fried fish and baby slices on the dining table and shouted, "What are you doing? I'm so embarrassed at my age. This is a delicious dish just out of the oven!"
"lie!"
The shadows roared, their voices hoarse and broken,
It rushed towards Anxi without any explanation.
But the moment it approached An Qian, there was a "bang!" and it was bounced away by an invisible force.
The rules bound Anxi and him at the same time. As long as Anxi made no mistakes, this black shadow could not harm her.
The black shadow tried several more attacks on Anxi.
Realizing that he really couldn't get close to Anxi, he could only calm down and take a step back, looking at the dishes on the table.
Only when he took a closer look did he realize that the plate of fried baby fish slices on the table was steaming, and the ingredients looked fresh and delicious.
This is really a new dish fresh out of the oven.
But he clearly remembered that this plate of fried fish babies had been in the refrigerator for a long time, and the child just said that this woman did not go out to buy groceries.
The black shadow exuded a sinister aura, and Anxi could feel a pair of malicious eyes staring at her under the black shadow.
But the shadow had nothing to do with her. Anxi didn't break any rules and could only let her walk out of the kitchen and walk around the house as leisurely as she did.
"Hahaha! It's not leftovers! Sister is so awesome!" the little boy's voice sounded again, and he became obviously more excited.
He ran to Anxi, circled around Anxi and cheered, clapped his hands and shouted: "Sister! Great! Sister! So awesome!"
Anxi enjoyed the little boy's compliment.
She discovered that this little boy simply loved chaos. No matter Anxi was harmed or his shadow father was harmed, he would be happy to death.
but,
The little boy was praising you, but suddenly the conversation changed: "Sister, you are so awesome, why don't you come and play games with me?"
Anxi paused after hearing the little boy's words and did not respond in a hurry.
When the little boy who had been bouncing around saw An Qian not replying, his cheerful steps suddenly stopped.
He raised his head, and his black pupils covered his entire eyeball. The smile on his face disappeared, and he turned to say to Anxi in a conspiratorial tone:
"Sister...don't you want to play with me?"
[Rule 2: Take good care of your younger brother. If your younger brother wants to play games, play games with him]
It's really a wave of calmness and another wave of rise.
Anxi watched the little boy become ghostly, and secretly put her hand into her pocket to hold the correction fluid tightly.
Then, she raised her head and smiled kindly at the little boy:
"Of course sister will play with you."
