"Drink it."

“These are my daughter’s favorites.”

The old lady sat down in front of Qin Nuo and Luo De and greeted them with a smile.

Qin Nuo held the teacup and looked at the parasite squirming in the cup in silence.

Rod, who was standing by, couldn't help swallowing and thinking of an excuse to refuse.

"Actually, grandma, I'm allergic to tea, and mung bean cakes are my favorite."

Qin Nuo suddenly put down his teacup, picked up the pastry on the plate, and took a small bite.

Seeing this, Rod, who was standing by, quickly came up with the same excuse.

The old lady listened without much change on her face. She just said slowly, "Young people nowadays don't like to drink tea. Little do they know that tea has many benefits for the body."

Qin Nuo ignored this and looked at the decoration in the house, staring at the photo frame on the wall, which contained a photo of the old lady and her family.

Although it is called a group photo, it is only a photo with his daughter, which seems a bit monotonous.

"Old lady, what does your daughter do for a living?" Although Qin Nuo was eating mung bean cakes, he was just pretending. The few bites he took cleverly avoided the tooth marks left by the unknown creatures.

"She works in a big company. What does she do? She works with very powerful machines." The old man couldn't say for sure. The machine he was talking about should be a computer, and it looked like she was doing clerical work like a data clerk or graphic designer.

Qin Nuo just asked casually and continued, "Where does she work?"

"In the city, I don't know where."

"The child's parents divorced early, each taking their two older grandchildren with them and leaving their youngest granddaughter behind. They just send her some living expenses every month."

"Even if you value sons over daughters, you wouldn't treat your own daughter like this. Fortunately, I managed to get through this difficult time. Now that my granddaughter has grown up and is working, I don't feel any pressure anymore."

"When my granddaughter went out to work, they wanted to take her away, but she was very stubborn and stayed with me. She would come back to see me on weekends. The hard days in the past were worth it now." The old lady spoke a lot with great sincerity, sometimes sighing, sometimes feeling relieved.

Qin Norod was slightly moved by what he said, and they listened to his words carefully.

"Young man, you are so concerned. It seems that you are very interested in my granddaughter." The old lady laughed.

Qin Nuo laughed dryly and thought that if his granddaughter committed a ghost crime in the city, it would obviously not be within the scope of horror.

"Ma'am, where is your bathroom? I need to go to the toilet."

"It's next to the kitchen."

Qin Nuo stood up, and Rod subconsciously wanted to follow her, but he felt that such behavior was a bit abnormal, so he could only signal Qin Nuo with his eyes. He really didn't want to stay alone with such a weird old lady.

Qin Nuo ignored his gaze and went to the bathroom.

"Child, why don't you eat your snack? Is it not tasty?" The old lady stared at Rod.

Despite his unnatural expression, Rod still took two symbolic bites.

After entering the bathroom, Qin Nuo locked the door. He looked in the mirror and wiped it a few times with his hand, but there was nothing unusual.

"There is no prompt in the mirror. It seems that the prompts in different copies are different." Qin Nuo remembered that there would be a certain time node before the prompt would appear.

After urinating and washing his hands, Qin Nuo was about to leave the bathroom when the Blood Eye Ghost suddenly said, "Maybe you can go to the second floor and take a look."

Qin Nuo raised his eyebrows: "What's upstairs?"

"I don't know, but there is an unusual smell upstairs." The blood-eyed ghost said lightly.

"Your sense of smell is really sensitive?" Qin Nuo said with a smile.

The blood-eyed ghost felt that this was a bit awkward, but he couldn't say it, so he could only roll his eyes.

Back in the living room, the old lady took out some specialties from somewhere and piled them all in front of Rod. The latter looked at Qin Nuo with eyes full of help.

Qin Nuo said: "Grandma, it's getting late. We are in a hurry. We should leave."

The old lady looked at the time carefully and said, "It's really, it's almost six o'clock."

"It's time to make dinner. We also need to feed the chickens and ducks in the backyard."

"Grandma, you are old. Is it convenient for you to do these things? Why don't we help you?" Qin Nuo tried to say.

"It's okay. It's like this every day. What's there that can't be done?" The old lady waved her hand to refuse.

"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy. When we go back, we'll come to see you again, grandma." Qin Nuo said very politely.

The old woman didn't care. She leaned on her crutches and walked into the house. But after two steps, she stopped and said, "By the way, if you are in the village, don't run around."

"Be honest and behave yourself, don't do anything bad."

Qin Nuo raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

The old woman held her cane in both hands, looked out the door, and said slowly: "Because our village has a god. He protects us and doesn't like outsiders to desecrate it."

Qin Nuo and Rod blinked, not paying much attention to what was said, and just nodded.

The old lady went to the backyard. Seeing Qin Nuo's pensive look, Luo De said, "Old people are usually superstitious. It's normal."

"Yeah."

Qin Nuo responded casually, but did not leave. Instead, he walked towards the stairs.

"Where are you going?" Rod was a little surprised.

"There might be something upstairs that might interest us."

Upon hearing this, Rhodes hurriedly followed.

In the backyard, the old lady prepared the feed, carried the bucket, and walked step by step to the fence.

She walked slowly, supported by a crutch, and looked unwell, but she carried a full bucket of feed in one hand without any effort.

While feeding with a water spoon, the old woman muttered: "My daughter seems to be coming back soon. It's time to catch one and kill it."

When she thought of her daughter, the old lady couldn't help but smile, but suddenly, her expression froze.

The gleam in his pupils disappeared and his face became dull.

She slowly stood up straight, then turned around and looked in a certain direction. Her body began to change little by little, becoming rough...

at the same time.

Qin Nuo and Rod went up to the second floor, which was mostly filled with miscellaneous items, and there were a lot of them, and the air was stuffy.

Rhode snorted and asked, "What could be here?"

Qin Nuo felt around and said, "I don't know either."

Following the Blood-Eyed Ghost's instructions, Qin Nuo entered a storage room and found a broken tablet computer among the messy items.

Qin Nuo tried to open it, but there was no response, so he threw it to Rod who had just come in, and continued to search.

Rod looked at Qin Nuo's behavior, confused, and said, "You said not to easily provoke the NPCs in the Thrilling Volume, but if she finds out about our thieving behavior, will it really be okay?"

"We found out that it was such a mess here, so we helped to evacuate it out of kindness." Qin Nuo said without turning his head.

Rod's head was filled with black lines: "What a far-fetched reason..."

He was speechless, but suddenly his expression changed and he said quickly: "Wait a minute, this tablet is responding!"
