Siblings Meet, Refreshing Eyeballs

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Ji Yan waved his hand, leaning against the cistern, and said to the two sisters, "You two just stay here with me and watch the show."

The elder sister, Zhong Yi, couldn't help but ask, "The damage on the Eerie Child's forehead, did you do that?"

"Yes."

"The nighttime apartment rules are invalid. What do we have to defend ourselves against two blackened eerie residents from the 8th floor?"

Ji Yan smiled without answering.

"He's truly a madman."

"Little sister, come with me!"

Elder sister Zhong Yi pulled Zhong Ting and turned to leave, but as soon as they turned, the two sisters' pretty faces changed drastically.

Their talents had triggered, and they both heard hysterical roars in the corridor.

The blackened Eerie Couple had already gone upstairs!

"We're doomed..."

Elder sister Zhong Yi's face was pale.

Her younger sister also heard it and grabbed her sister's wrist fearfully, "Sister, they're so fierce!"

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the stainless steel door in the distance was forced open, and a strong eerie aura permeated the air. The blackened Eerie Couple, with blood-red eyes, stepped out onto the rooftop.

The stainless steel door rapidly oxidized, becoming covered in rust, and the painted walls quickly cracked and weathered.

"You rat, you took our child?!"

"Don't worry, the woman in 801 can't save you. Hand over our child, and we'll make your death quick!"

Compared to the deathly pale faces of the twin sisters, Ji Yan's expression was relatively calm, though he was suppressing his wildly beating heart.

He knew he was gambling.

Now, it all depended on whether throwing the Eerie Child in would create the chemical reaction he expected in the cistern...

"I didn't take your child."

"I took your child to a fun place, and then I let him stay and play with his sister, whom he's never met."

As soon as Ji Yan finished speaking, the Eerie Couple's eyes visibly widened with rage, and their blackened state became even more terrifying.

Red warning panels even popped up before the twin sisters and Ji Yan.

[Warning! Player's actions have caused the eerie resident's blackened state to reach 90%, you will face a life threat, please find a way to escape!]

The Eerie Couple approached step by step, their blackened state so severe they resembled two nuclear radiation eerie monsters that had lost all semblance of humanity.

Ji Yan ignored the warning panel and leaned against the cistern, suddenly feeling something sticky on his back.

He turned his head and saw black pus flowing down the wall of the cistern...

Looking up, he saw that the cistern seemed to be full, with a large amount of black, dirty water surging out.

A pair of swollen black hands gripped a cement lid, and slowly, an eerie figure with a head full of sticky hair crawled out.

She looked like a mutated spider, slowly crawling out, holding the still unconscious Eerie Child in her hands.

The Eerie Couple, who had been advancing, stopped in their tracks, staring at the drowned eerie above Ji Yan's head – their own daughter, whom they had killed with their own hands.

Their initial terrifying rage gradually turned into horror.

Ji Yan didn't dare to move at all, letting the pools of pus drip onto his head.

His heart had never beaten so fast before.

Because the eerie figure above his head was the most scalp-numbingly terrifying he had encountered since entering the dungeon.

"Dad, Mom... you're up?"

"Xi Xi, I've been playing hide-and-seek very seriously, but Dad and Mom took too long to find me. You don't know... it was so cold in there, full of water. Xi Xi huddled in the corner, waiting and waiting..."

"I was both happy and scared. Happy because you'd praise me for hiding so well when you found me, and scared you'd forget to look for me..."

A hand landed on his shoulder. The hand was covered in what felt like scorching hot asphalt, with black, sticky goo, and wisps of white steam rising from it.

Ji Yan held his breath.

His body tensed involuntarily.

"But this brother told me that this is my younger brother."

"I don't believe him, but I can smell your scent on this younger brother, your scent in every corner..."

"But why don't I know about this brother?"

"Where did he come from?!"

The eerie daughter's voice turned into a hysterical roar by the end.

The sticky liquid on her body steamed, and Ji Yan's eardrums felt a sharp pain.

The Eerie Parents looked at their daughter's terrifying eyes, unable to speak for a moment.

The scene they feared the most, the one they were most worried about, had finally arrived.

All eyes turned to the culprit, Ji Yan!

"I'll tear you apart, you damn rat!!"

The Eerie Mother completely lost it and lunged at Ji Yan, disregarding everything.

But in an instant, she was grabbed by the Eerie Daughter's hand and pinned to the floor.

The floor rapidly caved in like mud, and the Eerie Daughter's dark, blurry face came close. "Mom, why are you angry?"

"Is it because this brother was right?"

"Is this really my younger brother?"

"You abandoned me and gave all your love to the newborn younger brother, right?"

"What did I do wrong? Why did you lie to me about playing hide-and-seek? Why did you make me hide in that cold, dark box?"

The Eerie Daughter's hands caressed the Eerie Mother's face, murmuring and questioning repeatedly.

The Eerie Mother no longer concealed her rage, roaring hysterically, "You dead mongrel, let go of my son!"

"How dare you deserve our love? Because of the ominous curse you carry, you made us look like neither human nor ghost, and we were almost kicked out of the apartment."

"Do you think we picked you up from outside?"

"It was for the rent, to meet the conditions for the 804 'family of three' to move in. You were just a lowly substitute for my son!"

"If we had known about your curse, we should have thrown you into a sewer from the start, to be gnawed clean by those rats!"

The Eerie Mother vented, her words laced with disgust, murderous intent, and curses.

The Eerie Daughter listened, but gradually calmed down.

Her small, dark hands gently caressed her mother's cheeks.

"How could that be?"

"Mom, you're just saying that in anger. You used to dote on me the most. Your love was only for me, everything you have is mine..."

As she spoke, Her gentle fingers dug into her mother's eye sockets, crushing the eyeballs.

Her hands became like red-hot irons, melting the skin and tearing open the facial bones.

Amidst the Eerie Mother's shrill screams, she gave a gentle pull, and the head split open like a pomelo.

The screams abruptly stopped.

The Eerie Daughter's forehead drooped, her cheek pressed against the torn-open head, feeling the blood flow and the warmth emanating from it.

"Mom, you're so warm."

"Xi Xi hasn't been this close to Mom in so long. It was really so cold in there. You really are the best mom in the world."

Watching the horrifying and disgusting scene before him, Ji Yan felt as if his eyeballs had been cleansed anew.

After surviving for so many days, he thought he had become mostly immune to blood, disgust, and horror.

But now, he could only say that he had been too confident...

He could even clearly smell the temperature and scent of the brain matter.

The Eerie Daughter held the shattered pieces of her mother's head, her eyes overflowing with happiness.

As for the twin sisters beside them, The younger sister had already fainted.

The older sister was struggling to keep from vomiting, enduring the churning in her stomach.

Over there, the Eerie Father watched his wife brutally murdered, his daughter driven mad, his son unconscious, his family shattered.

He did not go mad.

Instead, cold sweat poured down his face. He turned and, like a maddened wild bull, charged wildly, crashing left and right, desperately rushing into the corridor
