870: Showing disgust towards wife

"Dad, are you hidden well? Una is coming to find you."

From the deep corridor behind, his daughter's words came.

At the same time, a chill began to spread from that direction.

Seeing this, Mo De gritted his teeth and ducked into the basement hidden beneath the house.

...

The basement was pitch black.

However, Mo De could feel that the space inside was not small.

A choking smell of paint lingered, refusing to dissipate.

It was as if a whole bucket of paint had been poured onto the ground, even stinging his eyes a little.

This seemed to be a place for storing renovation debris.

Facing the pitch blackness before him, Mo De was not in the mood to figure out the situation inside the basement.

He could hear a footstep above in the corridor that made him hold his breath!

"Tap ~ Tap ~ Tap..."

Footsteps came one after another.

The sound of the music box, which he had just heard in the living room, was now gradually becoming clearer in his ears!

This also seemed to indicate that the daughter who was searching was also approaching.

Holding his breath, there was only the continuous sound of footsteps on the floor above, coming from far away and getting closer.

"Thump ~ Thump ~"

The footsteps sounded like someone barefoot, stepping into a swamp step by step, with clearly audible muddy footprints.

It was as if the person walking was dragging a trail of blood!

Logically speaking, Una was only in doll form and should not be making such footsteps.

As the last footstep settled.

Mo De slightly opened his eyes and looked at the wooden board above his head.

He could sense that the girl was standing directly on the wooden board above his basement!

As a deadly silence spread, the girl's voice suddenly came out.

"Dad, are you here?"

Hearing this, Mo De's goosebumps erupted!

Is this how you play?

Even if the place he hid was not extremely secret, it shouldn't be that the other party could walk all the way and find him directly with a clear purpose, right?!

The other party clearly knew his location!

Hide-and-seek was a dead end!

Looking at the slowly opening floorboards, Mo De couldn't help but retreat towards the back of the basement, feeling nervous.

The basement was just a basement after all, a confined space.

Mo De had only retreated a few steps when there was no more room behind him.

It seemed the size of this basement was only about half the size of a room.

But now was clearly not the time to think about the size of the basement.

While his mind was racing, Mo De tried to find a solution to break the situation.

His gaze quickly swept across the pitch-black basement.

It was pitch black, and he really couldn't see anything.

However, as he looked, he noticed a corner that was emitting a pitch-black light that was different from the darkness.

It was the key item of the case prompted by the System.

But in this life-and-death crisis, Mo De had no desire to explore it at all.

No.

Suddenly, Mo De noticed that the pitch-black glow outlined... it seemed to be, a cabinet?

"Creak!"

The wooden board above was completely lifted!

A thick smell of blood, like that emanating from a person who had been completely dissected, spread out!

"Dad! You're here!"

The girl's voice, like a pen tip, drew a distorted, crooked feeling that rushed towards him!

"Bang!"

At the same time as this sound appeared, the sound of the cabinet door closing also emerged!

Crammed inside the wardrobe, Mo De held his breath completely.

His entire body was already completely soaked with sweat.

The wardrobe, this was his only retreat!

After getting Una's hair earlier, the Weird Tale rules had added three rules, one of which said that as long as he hid in the cabinet, he could get a period of safety!

If this Weird Tale rule was correct, then he could at least survive!

"Dad."

Suddenly, the voice sounded again.

Through the gap in the cabinet, Mo De's eyes trembled slightly as he could see that in the area in front of him, separated only by a cabinet door, a girl exactly like Betty, but covered in blood, was standing there!

It knew he was in the cabinet!

"Why won't Dad come out to see me? Does he hate Una?"

"Does Dad not want Una anymore?"

After the girl outside the cabinet stood still, she suddenly asked, sobbing.

Seeing this scene, Mo De breathed a sigh of relief instead.

It seemed the other party couldn't get in, otherwise he would have been finished.

"Wuwuwuwu..."

The entity outside the cabinet suddenly squatted on the ground and started crying... and the amplitude of her shoulders, which were shaking from crying, became larger and larger.

Seeing this, Mo De's forehead started to sweat again.

If he remembered correctly, his cabinet could only provide him with thirty seconds of safety time.

In other words, after thirty seconds passed, his ending could not change at all!

Time was also passing quickly.

Mo De didn't know how much time had passed now, but by his estimate, at least twenty seconds had passed!

The girl outside the cabinet still had no intention of leaving.

She was just waiting like this!

While his body was slightly stiff, Mo De didn't even dare to move an inch inside the cabinet.

There were a lot of things piled up inside the cabinet, so the space that could accommodate him was even smaller.

While contemplating a way to escape the predicament, the girl outside the cabinet slowly stood up and looked up again!

"Dad, it's time to come out."

...

"Una, dear, it's time to eat!"

Just as Mo De felt he had reached a dead end, the woman's voice came from the kitchen.

This voice was like a special medicine for a terminally ill patient.

Almost instantly, the girl in front of him suddenly disappeared!

"Dear, it's time to eat."

In the living room, the woman's words came again.

Hearing this, Mo De looked at the cabinet door again, and after confirming that the thing from before was really gone, he stiffly opened the cabinet door.

He sat against the cabinet for a while, the coolness brought by the evaporation of cold sweat making the Man finally calm down.

Looking back again at the cabinet behind him that had saved his life, Mo De felt fortunate.

He also noticed that among the Sundries piled up in the cabinet, there were clearly some key items prompted by the System.

"Dear? What are you busy with?"

Suddenly.

The woman's voice suddenly appeared from behind him.

Mo De, who had just calmed down, seemed to be startled again.

The entities in this house, one by one, were truly life-threatening.

"Nothing, let's go eat." Mo De didn't have a chance to investigate the things in the cabinet, glanced at his wife, and then climbed out of the basement first.

The basement might be the place where the original owner actually handled cases.

There should be more important information hidden there, so it seems he needs to find some time to search through it thoroughly.

While Mo De was thinking this, he came to the living room with his wife.

"Abba, abba."

At the dinner table, it was still Betty and a doll sitting on their respective chairs.

Betty, who looked like an eight or nine-year-old Child, was now showing an infant-like posture.

She couldn't even speak clearly, and was gnawing on a piece of meat with satisfaction.

Una, who was the Sister next to her, was displaying the appearance of an eight or nine-year-old Child.

Upon seeing Mo De arrive, the doll said regretfully: "Ah, Dad hid too well, I couldn't find him."

Find? If you found me, what then?

Mo De kept muttering inwardly.

Fortunately, the mistress happened to finish cooking dinner and called for them to eat, otherwise unless the System gave him a cheat, he would definitely die!

Day after day.

Every morning was okay.

As soon as he came home in the evening, it was like meeting the King of Hell to discuss an employment contract, constantly trying to take his life.

Whether it was the first night when it gave him the wrong time, the second night when he confirmed his wife was not alive, or the third night when he just played hide-and-seek with his eldest daughter, they were almost all pushing him towards a dead end.

"After dinner, let's play hide-and-seek again?" Una suggested again.

Hearing this, Mo De looked at the doll, his eyelids twitching.

[13. When your daughter asks you to play with her, slap her twice.]

Looking at this line of pitch-black text, the Man clenched his fist, feeling the urge to slap her.

Agreeing to play nicely before almost killed him in the end, so it was certain that playing games with the other party was a wrong choice!

And excluding one wrong choice, the remaining one must be the correct answer!

Weird Tale rule C group 13, is correct!

"Okay Una, you've played all day, take Betty to bed after dinner, got it?"

While Mo De was hesitating, the mistress spoke up to break the situation.

As the woman said this, Una snorted in dissatisfaction, but did not press further.

"Come, have some meat."

As soon as Mo De sat down, his wife next to him put a piece of meat in front of him.

Looking at the meat on the plate, the Man finally let out a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat relaxed.

The whole day's busyness and danger could finally be put at ease at this moment.

Yesterday, his wife also made steak, and Mo De was still a little wary at the time.

After all, who knew where the woman got the steak from.

Today's meat was bought by him personally from the Meatpacking Plant, lean and interspersed, even if it was cooked badly, he could eat it with peace of mind.

Moreover, this plate of meat was fragrant, and even Betty next to him was eating it so deliciously, how could it be bad.

Even if the Weird Tale rules didn't remind him, after eating this meal, he would definitely praise his wife's cooking as delicious.

Picking up a large piece with a knife and fork, Mo De swallowed his saliva.

Just as he was about to swallow it in one bite, his wife put another piece of meat on his plate: "These are all your favorites, eat more."

With a simple sentence, there were a few more oily pieces of meat on the plate in front of him.

But at this, Mo De suddenly paused as if he had realized something.

When his wife asked him to eat the sandwich, the woman also said this sentence.

This sentence itself had no meaning.

But Mo De, who had psychological trauma, felt that this was like the beginning of some curse.

Speaking of which... could the meals cooked by this dead woman really be eaten with peace of mind?

This thought came out of Mo De's mind without warning, almost in hesitation.

"Dear, is it not to your taste?" The woman asked with a look of confusion.

[11. Your wife works hard cooking, please eat at least half a jin of the meat you bought yourself and show your love for your wife's cooking.]

The Weird Tale rule, like The Black Night, warned Mo De again with that blurry font.

In response.

Mo De rubbed his Sun.

This was not simply about praising his wife's cooking as delicious.

There was a key piece of information in it, which was that he had to eat half a jin of the meat he bought himself!

The meat he bought himself!

If the meat his wife served was other meat, and he ate it and praised his wife, then he would clearly violate the rule!

That's right.

This night was not over, in fact, it had just begun!

The daughter's hide-and-seek was just a prelude!

The meal he was facing now was another new choice!

He had chosen wrongly in the previous choice and was lucky to survive by relying on the wardrobe.

Now...

Mo De didn't want to choose anymore.

He had to cheat!

"System, help me check if Weird Tale rule C group 11 is lying."

After obtaining the bone-chopping knife before, the System's reward of one lie detection opportunity had always been saved by Mo De.

Originally, he still wanted to not use it if he didn't have to.

But the reality was, he couldn't not use it!

"Ding ~ Weird Tale rule C group 11 has been detected for the Host."

"According to System detection, this rule -- is lying."

"Now adjusting and correcting for the Host."

[Your wife works hard cooking, but she did not use the meat you bought to cook, please eat half a jin of the meat you bought yourself, and show your disgust for your wife.]

The System's corrected information was still comprehensive.

However, the content inside made Mo De's heart skip a beat.

Show disgust for his wife?

Disgust for his wife?

Was this the attitude he should have had originally?
