A Visit
Just as he was lost in thought, his daughter unwrapped a lollipop and excitedly hugged Qin Rang's leg. "Dad, you're off today, can you watch TV with me?"
Qin Rang hesitated for a few seconds before finally smiling and saying, "You should ask Mom if she agrees."
"Mom has already agreed!"
"Then let's watch TV together." Qin Rang clenched his fists, suppressing the lingering fear in his heart.
If he hadn't brought back snacks to cheer up his strange daughter today, things would have been dangerous just now.
Qin Rang glanced at the date on the TV; it was Saturday, so it seemed his job would likely be a two-day weekend.
He was a freelancer and wasn't used to the office worker lifestyle, so he almost fell into a trap.
The television was turned on, showing bizarre and strange animals with exaggerated appearances, wielding strange weapons as they chased a person in the Forest, and that person looked like Qin Rang.
"Look, Dad, this person looks just like you!" the daughter asked innocently. "Can I play this chasing game with you too?"
"Of course not! You still have candy in your mouth, how can you run? It's too dangerous."
Rules three: Do not spoil children. Qin Rang righteously refused.
"Okay." The daughter sounded a little dejected. "Dad doesn't seem to like me very much today."
"How could that be? Dad will always love you and Mom." Qin Rang said without hesitation.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"They're here!" The Weird Mother, wearing a red apron, opened the door. Qin Rang tilted his head to observe the commotion outside. After a few brief exchanges, she led in a boy who was about the same age as her daughter.
Alarm bells rang in Qin Rang's mind.
[Rules 4: As Dad, do you prefer boys and dislike girls?]
Here it comes, a blatant trap Rules.
Unfortunately, he's off work today, so he can't use work as an excuse to go out.
Meanwhile, other players who woke up or returned also encountered unexpected guests today.
The young woman, a mother, got up early to cook and do laundry. After breakfast, she watched TV with her son in the living room.
The images on TV were bloody and disgusting. At first, she kept her head down, not wanting to watch the monster chasing the face that looked just like her.
But the more she tried to stop herself from thinking about it, the closer and more real the sounds coming from the television seemed.
Until she heard the whistling of the wind.
Thump!
The giant axe came crashing down from behind her, and she instinctively rolled away to dodge.
A shrill laugh came from behind her. The woman turned around abruptly and saw several eerie creatures that should have been chasing people on TV appear behind her.
Behind these eerie sights, she saw a screen. Outside the screen was a warm home, where she and her son were sitting.
The person who looked exactly like her stared at her expressionlessly, a slight smile playing on their lips, as they watched her become the scapegoat.
[The screen went black; another streamer has died.]
[Sigh, this Instance is too hard. There's no time to react. If you hesitate for even a moment, you'll be dragged into the TV screen. This is too unfair.]
[The person who said this hasn't experienced the initial bizarre transformations of electronic products, have they? Televisions, computers, mobile phones, even telephones—once these things started acting strangely, it often resulted in many deaths.]
[Did you guys see the person in live stream room 45? He looked in the mirror this morning and combed his hair, then was replaced by a weird image in the mirror. He's trapped inside the mirror, unable to die or get out.]
[Looking at it this way, it's no wonder that the Weird Instances in common settings like residential areas, schools, and hospitals are the most difficult to pass. There are so many details to pay attention to, and one careless move can easily break the Rules due to habitual actions.]
[Huh, this live stream camera has a new host, who is it?]
It's that Boss Lin!
Lin Nieran was sitting on Lin Yi's sofa, watching Lin Yi teach the Little Dumpling math with a stern face. The Little Dumpling was incredibly stupid, which infuriated Lin Yi, and he had several moments when he was tempted to kill the ghost.
Lin Nieran chuckled to himself, but at that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of being watched.
[Host, we have sensed a Livestream Specter. Do you wish to block it?]
Lin Nieran: "You have this ability too?"
[Protecting the host's privacy is 007's job!] 007 proudly lifted the ball.
"Block it, it must be blocked." Lin Nieran has a lot to do secretly, and now is not the best time to have a live streaming Camerahead on.
[Huh? Why did it flash and then switch to someone else? Is there something wrong with the Authorities Weird Artifact?]
[How strange... how did it end up on this woman?]
The Authorities that had been watching the live stream suddenly became excited.
"Livestream room number 65 features Wen Keke; please pay close attention!"
"Receive!"
"Head of the Tao Family, the newly dispatched S-Rank Purger team has arrived at the Lily Weird Zone, and everything is progressing smoothly so far."
Tao Yun stared at the live stream, her expression grave. "Okay, make sure they are careful in everything they do, and also, keep their communication channels open at all times!"
"Yes!"
Wen Keke was unaware that she was being live-streamed. When the live stream turned to her, she was being affectionate with her Weird Mother.
"Really, I made plans with my friends today, I'll be back in a bit."
"But your aunt's family is coming to visit later, and she'll be sad if she doesn't see you."
Wen Keke blinked and gave a sweet smile, "Mom~"
The Weird Mother glanced at her necklace, then at her eyes, and instantly softened her tone. "Alright, alright, go play, but be careful."
"Thank you, Mom!"
Wen Keke emerged from the Dark Side today with a new identity. Last night, she participated in three games, and the eeriness of each game made her feel a sense of attraction towards her.
So she chose to join a family of three, and after joining, her family members became her, her younger brother, and Dad parents.
In just two hours, she made the house feel like her own, and all the strange things seemed to be giving her a friendly welcome.
She currently lives in Unit Two Building 4, Room 105.
After leaving the house, Wen Keke looked at the 105 Rules in her hand, disdainfully crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into her pocket.
As an adopted daughter, you are submissive, timid, and humble.
As an adopted daughter, you are sensitive and suspicious, afraid of being abandoned.
As an adopted daughter, you help your mother, take care of your younger brother, and understand your Dad.
Rules? Those are for people who need to please the weird; she never needed them.
Thinking it over, she knocked on the door of room 108.
There were two players living in room 108. She had already met them once that morning, and that one meeting was enough.
The two players stood one behind the other. The player behind her looked her up and down curiously, then suddenly smiled with satisfaction.
"Time to go!" Wen Keke said with a smile.
"Okay, we're coming!"
The two brothers, identified as number 108, excitedly ran out and looked at Wen Keke with great trust. "Can we really steal Tao Yuan's weapon?"
