After carefully checking the door lock again to make sure it was locked, the Girl, wearing a thin nightgown, returned to bed with a little peace of mind.

--To be frank, the Chronicler felt that this house was no longer a place to stay.

The True and False Mother Incident at the elevator that afternoon was just the beginning. After she returned from evening self-study, strange things began to happen one after another.

First, she heard her mother's voice coming from the kitchen, and then, as she was about to go to the kitchen, the same call came from the bedroom.

It was as if she was being forced to make a choice. As time went by, the calls from the two voices grew louder and more stern, like a death knell.

In this situation, going either way would be a rather unwise choice. After quickly composing a text message and sending it to someone, she received a reply three seconds later.

Without the slightest hesitation, she followed the instructions in the text message and smashed a water glass on the Coffee Table onto the floor.

--When her mother came out of the kitchen, the bedroom fell into a deathly silence.

It seemed only she could hear that extra voice; her mother was criticizing her for accidentally breaking the water glass. After finishing her midnight snack amidst her mother's incessant lecturing, she fled back to her room.

And this is just the beginning.

After that, all sorts of "Multiple Choice Question" came one after another. For example, she heard her mother ask her to help carry something over, and her mother also told her to hurry up and take a shower.

Just like the choices in a visual novel Game, if you choose the wrong option, it may lead to a different ending, or even a bad ending.

So that night... at least ten things were broken in their house.

In the end, her mother even worried that she might be under too much pressure from studying for the upcoming College Entrance Exam, and was even prepared to drive her to the hospital for a checkup...

It must be said that although the method someone provided seemed a bit unreliable, it was actually very useful in practice.

After drawing the Curtain, locking the doors and windows, and turning on the bedside lamp, the Chronicler sat up on the bed, phone in hand.

After a moment's hesitation, she still typed a message and sent it.

[Thank you so much for your help before, the method you provided was very useful.]

Half a minute later, the reply arrived in a cool and aloof tone.

[O]

"..."

Looking at the concise reply on the phone—so brief that it didn't even bother to type a single word or punctuation mark, just a single letter— the Chronicler's lips twitched slightly.

Although living at home is slightly more free than living at school, the situation is actually the same on both sides: you can't get a good night's sleep either way.

It would be truly Dead Person were to be silently killed by Monster in a story simply because they were sleeping.

In stories dominated by Anomaly, one can never be careless and must always be on guard. Although the time interval between each story is extended, each extension of only ten minutes or so is hardly enough for a break.

It's fortunate that the Player's basic attributes are already above average; otherwise, few people would be able to withstand such a high-intensity story sequence.

What a certain Bai considers low risk and high reward is just his own perception; in reality, for the Chronicler, the difficulty already matches the reward.

After all, the story involved countless near-death experiences, and there wasn't much time to rest back in the Library. So what if they risked their lives to obtain an Elite Level Item?

It's too easy, like a pie falling from the sky... If they knew what Bai Zhi was thinking, I wonder what they would think.

"Can't sleep at night... let's read a book to perk ourselves up."

The Chronicler exhaled slightly and put his phone aside.

However, as she got up to get a book from her desk, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of something strange out of the corner of her eye.

A lamp sits on the bedside table, casting Lights that illuminates the bed and casts Shadow on the wall.

Under the light of the desk Lights, a strange Shadow was cast with unusual clarity on the floor beside the bed.

--Under her bed, there was a huge, terrifying giant hand.

The Chronicler almost instinctively held his breath when his gaze fell upon the strange projection.

Although her mother was already asleep at this time, the strange occurrences seemed to have no intention of leaving her.

"..."

After a moment's thought, the Chronicler silently produced a thin card in his hand and carefully stuck it to the side of the bed.

But with this tiny movement, the Shadow cast by the giant hand that had been motionless from under the bed suddenly twitched slightly.

... Was it because you accidentally stuck your hand out over the edge of the bed?

After a brief observation, the Chronicler came to the following conclusion.

Taking a deep breath and trying to keep her hand as still as possible, she slowly pulled her hand back, along with the card.

While glancing over there out of the corner of his eye to prevent any further changes, the Chronicler focused his gaze on the card in his hand.

The card, which had been empty, suddenly had several lines of tiny writing appear on it.

[Name: Giant Hand Under The Bed]

[Type: Bizarre]

[Danger Level: Minor]

[Some characteristics: Once grabbed, unable to break free]

[Recommendation: Do not extend any part of your body outside the bed. https://m. hetushu. com]

"Is Specific Trigger Rule Anomaly...? How come there's something like this in the house?"

Upon seeing the handwriting on the card, the Chronicler frowned slightly, but felt a little more at ease.

Anomaly come in many forms. Anything that is incomprehensible to humans and poses a danger to them can be called Anomaly. In fact, the classification of this stuff is quite diverse.

However, if we use the most basic classifications, Anomaly can still be roughly divided into a few categories, such as Non-corporeal, whether they can communicate, whether they possess intelligence, whether they have specific rules, and so on.

The Giant Hand Under The Bed that she is currently encountering is a typical Rule-Based Anomaly. These Anomaly can be easy or difficult to deal with, depending on whether you can find the rules governing them.

"Bed Defense and Quilt Barrier? If that's the case...!?"

Just as the Chronicler was frowning and pondering the matter, quite abruptly, the card—a book—that she had created using her own Skill vanished from her hand. Before she could even react, the sound of the door being turned came from the doorway...

But she clearly remembered that she had carefully locked the door beforehand.

A sudden jolt went through him. Forgetting about the suddenly malfunctioning Skill, the Chronicler quickly lay down, covered himself with the sheet, and closed his eyes.

"Snap."

With a soft click, the door opened.
