The bullet comments instantly exploded.

"Holy shit, what did I just see?! Why was there a man's head, and how could it blink?"

"Don't tell me the meat the golden shaded cat ate at noon was his flesh?"

"Wait, that came out of nowhere! I wasn't mentally prepared!"

"Why do I feel like Boss Chen Han deliberately got off the couch to look into the kitchen?"

"Same here. It was like he already guessed what would be in the kitchen. Every move was too deliberate!"

"Doesn't anyone think Mom is looking more and more like that man's head?"

Chen Han was utterly speechless at this point.

He had gotten off the couch because he felt that something was getting increasingly wrong with Mom.

If Mom really did turn into an anomaly and become Dad in the end...

Then Chen Han, sitting beside her, would undoubtedly be the first to die.

Chen Han let out a deep sigh.

Now he couldn't possibly hide in the bathroom or a bedroom, either.

After all, he hadn't explored those places, and the rules offered no hints about either of them.

He might as well stay in the living room.

Of course, the main reason was still that Chen Han was a coward!!!

The silver shaded cat was unexpectedly much more alert now.

It was still skin and bones, though. It had been starved for too long, and it would take a long time to regain a normal cat's build.

It seemed very cautious now, as though sensing something.

Seeing the silver shaded cat like this, Chen Han felt they were fellow sufferers. Better not to look.

Then he looked toward the balcony.

That glance nearly scared his soul out of his body.

Why was there some random man's head on the kitchen table?

And now it could even blink?

Chen Han was completely dumbfounded.

Was anything in this home normal besides him?

Chen Han was falling apart inside.

But after an exhausting day, his face already wore the look of someone who had seen all of life's vicissitudes.

There were only ten minutes left until 20:00.

Chen Han kept watching Mom's every move.

Mom had now completely turned into Dad.

And this Dad looked absolutely identical to the head in the kitchen, without the slightest difference.

The only distinction was that there wasn't a trace of life in Dad's eyes or expression.

There was nothing but deathly gloom.

An unintelligible growl came from his mouth.

Chen Han could tell that Dad was now an anomaly.

But he was restrained by the system and could only remain fixed on the couch.

Probably, in just a few more minutes, once Dad completely broke free of the system's seal, he would pounce straight at Chen Han.

The final three minutes.

Dad suddenly shot to his feet.

Step by step, he walked toward Chen Han.

Even the viewers could feel the oppressive presence through their screens.

"Stay away!!!"

"Why isn't Chen Han moving at all? Has he already decided to wait for death?"

"Chen Han, run! Any slower and the anomaly really will catch you!"

Li Chen was also watching the livestream with his breath held and his attention focused.

Why wasn't Chen Han leaving?

Li Chen had already guessed the answer when Chen Han fed the golden shaded cat its medicine!

That's right. Chen Han wasn't waiting to die.

On the contrary, Chen Han was in the safest position right now, because the silver shaded cat was inside the cat house.

It could help Chen Han!

Although Li Chen already knew the answer...

He was still deeply astounded by Chen Han's acting.

It was actually so natural, and he had such faith in his own guess.

He simply waited quietly beside the cat house for the anomaly to come.

How many people could face a powerful anomaly without their expression changing or their heart racing?

Even if an ordinary person guessed that the silver shaded cat could help them, they would still instinctively run when the anomaly approached.

All he could say was that Chen Han had extraordinary mental fortitude!

He wasn't scared at all.

Li Chen reminded everyone of this fact in the bullet comments.

"Don't forget that the silver shaded cat can help Chen Han at a critical moment. That's why the boss has the confidence to stay put!"

Only then did the viewers seem to wake from a dream. Most people in the livestream had been intimidated by the anomaly's presence.

"Fuck, I almost forgot about that!"

"Boss Chen Han really managed to stay absolutely still. He genuinely hasn't reacted at all!"

"That's fucking awesome. He's staring the anomaly straight in the face right now. Look at him-a true powerhouse!"

Just as Li Chen had expected, right when Dad raised his hand to attack Chen Han...

The silver shaded cat leaped out of the cat house.

At that moment, the silver shaded cat seemed to have been granted some sort of ability.

When the anomaly saw the silver shaded cat appear, it actually retreated again and again in fear!

As though it had seen something terrifying!

The silver shaded cat kept advancing on the anomaly like this until those long three minutes passed.

Chen Han had originally intended to try to evade the anomaly.

Unfortunately, the moment Dad suddenly stood up...

His legs went weak, and he completely lost all his strength and ability to do anything.

His legs felt as though they were filled with lead. He couldn't move at all.

He could only watch helplessly as the anomaly walked toward him.

Just when he thought he was certainly going to die...

The silver shaded cat actually leaped out!

And what was going on?

Why did the anomaly look so afraid of the silver shaded cat?

An anomaly this big could actually feel afraid when facing the silver shaded cat?

Naturally, Chen Han had absolutely no idea why the silver shaded cat would suddenly rush out to help him.

The silver shaded cat had looked so pathetic all day that Chen Han had thought it was a buy-one-get-one-free extra that came with this home's golden shaded cat.

He had never expected the silver shaded cat to look so mighty and imposing now.

Why hadn't the silver shaded cat said so earlier? If it had, Chen Han would have long since begun worshipping it like an ancestor.

Next time they had canned food, it would get two cans and he would get one.

Seeing the previously sinister anomaly turn so cowardly in an instant, the viewers all began gloating.

"Who'd have thought the silver shaded cat's help would come in these final three minutes!"

"The silver shaded cat's help is way too powerful! Seeing the anomaly like this feels so good, haha!"

"Boss Chen Han is fucking amazing. So he'd already latched onto a golden thigh right from the start!"

The man's head in the kitchen was also extremely shocked to see the silver shaded cat suddenly appear.

He had been glaring at the anomaly in fury, but now his gaze suddenly grew tender.

Chen Han happened to glance at the man's head in the kitchen just then.

Li Chen noticed Chen Han's action.

There wouldn't be any useless NPCs in the instance. Could the meaning of "a happy family" be more than its literal meaning?

Li Chen suddenly felt himself brainstorming again!
