After Ye Youbai digested the system's words, he turned to his father and mother, who were tied up like dumplings at the door, and said expressionlessly, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to start doing my homework. You guys just watch from the door."

After Ye Youbai finished speaking, he took out three plates of snacks from his storage ring, poured a cup of tea for himself and Ji Sijian, and then began to eat the snacks slowly.

Articles 10 and 11 of the Rules state:

10. There's nothing you can eat in the Happy Restaurant. If you're hungry, you can eat a little of your own flesh. But remember, don't let your father, mother, or the other guests see you, or they'll have a feast.

According to Rule 10, if someone else who enters this rule space has nothing to eat and is so hungry that he eats his own flesh, he may have been slowly devoured by this system.

After all, being eaten by dad, mom and guests is equivalent to being eaten by the system itself.

[11. The water in the Happiness Hotel has long been contaminated. Please do not drink it directly.]

In fact, up to now, Ye Youbai didn’t know where the faucet of the Happiness Hotel was, let alone the water.

There might be water in the kitchen, but Ye Youbai could smell the disgusting smell coming from the kitchen when he stood at the kitchen door, so he didn't want to go in.

"How many hours will it take to eat?" Ji Sijian asked.

However, Ji Sijian seemed to realize that he had made a mistake and asked in a different way, "How many more hours do we have to study?"

"It can't be less than 6 hours, otherwise Dad and Mom will be angry."

Rule 6:

6. It's summer vacation now, so you need to do your homework. You must spend at least six hours a day on it. Remember, you're a good kid. If you don't spend enough time on it, Mom and Dad will be unhappy.

Upon hearing this, Ji Sijian looked towards the door of the room, and then, as if he was afraid that his father and mother would affect his appetite, he stopped looking in the direction of his father and mother.

In this way, Ye Youbai and Ji Sijian ate, drank, and chatted in the room, and spent six hours doing homework in boredom.

At the last second of the sixth hour, Ye Youbai stood up and left the chair. She had been sitting on the stiff chair until her butt was numb.

Children nowadays have such a hard time. They are not allowed to have fun during the summer vacation and have to do homework for six hours every day. How can they grow up happily?

The moment Ye Youbai turned her head to look at the door of the room, she was surprised to find that her father and mother, who had been tied up like dumplings and thrown at the door, were now missing.

"Hey, where are Dad and Mom?"

Ye Youbai kicked Ji Sijian's chair, with a hint of displeasure in his voice.

Ji Sijian: “???”

Wasn’t Dad and Mom tied up by him at the door of the room?

"Aren't Dad and Mom right here..."

Ji Sijian's words stopped abruptly here, because his head turned to the door of the room.

Ji Sijian: “???”

Where are the people?

Where are dad and mom?

"How is that possible?"

Ji Sijian stood up from his chair in an instant, his face full of disbelief.

The ropes he used to tie people up were made of willow branches, which could not be cut by a knife, burned by fire, or dissolved by water.

How did Dad and Mom escape?

Just as Ye Youbai and Ji Si were thinking about it, their mother's voice came from not far outside the door: "My dear daughter, there are guests coming. Come out and entertain them."

Ye Youbai: “???”

Why does the tone of this sound so wrong?

Entertaining guests?

What guests are you entertaining?

How to entertain guests?

Ye Youbai walked towards the door of the room with doubts, but when she arrived at the door, she did not see her mother at all.

"Mom?" Ye Youbai called out in the direction of the Happiness Hotel.

However, no response was received.

Ye Youbai: “???”

Can the rule space be haunted?

Ye Youbai walked towards the Happiness Hotel with doubts.

But as Ye Youbai was walking, he heard Ji Sijian's voice behind him: "Xiaobai, look here."

Upon hearing this, Ye Youbai turned around and looked behind him.

But she did not see Ji Sijian's figure, there was only darkness behind her, as if she had been moved to another place.

Just then, the clock in the Happiness Hotel struck 11, and Ye Youbai realized that it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

Rule 10 states:

14. You can go out after 10 p.m.

(But don't look back, no matter who calls you.)

There was no clock in her room, nor did she keep one there, so she had no idea that it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

Rule 5 states:

5. Nighttime is the time to rest. No matter what happens, don't leave your bed.

It seemed that she had violated two rules now. She did not rest well in bed at night, and she left the room at ten o'clock in the evening. When someone called her, she turned back.

That......

What will be waiting for her next?

“Hehe…Hehehe.”

At this moment, a terrifying laugh sounded in Ye Youbai's ears. The sound was a bit harsh, but more of it was empty, or more like it was soulless.

The laughter did not stop for a long time. Ye Youbai felt that the laughter was getting closer and closer to her ears. Finally, it was as if someone was sticking close to her ear and laughing softly.

"Did you...just look back?"

“Hehe…Hehehe.”

The thing thought Ye Youbai didn't hear it, so it asked again softly: "I'm looking for people who don't follow the rules. Did you... turn around just now?"

Ye Youbai: “…”

She's the only one here, is there any need to ask?

Are all the NPCs here fools?

Or blind?

Ye Youbai ignored the NPC who was talking to himself. She planned to see how many times the NPC was going to ask.

The voice fell silent for a moment, then continued to insist, "Please tell me, did you... just turn around?"

Ye Youbai: “…”

She knew that this NPC was not only blind, but also a fool, and a parrot.

The voice had a hint of warmth just now, but now it was strangely cold. "I'm asking you one last time, did you... turn around just now?"

Ye Youbai could tell that the voice was not that of his father or mother, but that of another NPC in the Happiness Hotel.

Are you a guest?

The air was silent, with only the sound of Ye Youbai's steady breathing.
