Chapter 417: Special Medicine, Accident

Father Su sat at the dining table, holding a newspaper in his hand, but his eyes glanced at Su Ning from time to time.

Seeing Su Ning slowly approaching, she frowned. Although her tone was stern, her eyes were full of doting: "You are so old, why do you still let your mother call you to eat? You have no manners at all."

Hearing his father's familiar voice, Su Ning paused slightly, and the emotions that had been restrained in his heart almost got out of control again.

She lowered her head, trying to make her expression look calm, but complex emotions were surging in her heart.

Her father's voice was as stern as ever, yet it was filled with undisguised concern and doting, which made her almost forget that everything before her was just an illusion.

"Okay, stop standing there like an idiot and eat!" Mother's voice came from the kitchen, interrupting Suning's thoughts.

She looked up and saw her mother walking towards her with a plate of steaming food and a gentle smile on her face.

Suning walked to the dining table but did not sit down immediately.

Her eyes moved between her parents, her heart filled with vigilance.

At this moment, she still didn't know what the danger of [Nightmare Town] was, and she didn't dare to act rashly.

Especially since the people sitting in front of her were her parents who had been killed long ago in her memory, this weird atmosphere made Su Ning feel a chill.

When Suning saw her parents' excitement subside, she was able to calmly analyze the current situation.

"What's wrong? Xiaoning, why don't you sit down?" Her mother looked at her with some confusion, with a hint of worry in her tone.

Su Ning forced a smile and said softly, "It's okay, I... I'm not very hungry."

Her voice was a little dry, and there was a hint of hesitation and vigilance in her eyes.

Although the food in front of her was made by her mother, the flavors that she had longed for and longed to taste again in her dreams countless times, she did not dare to pick up her chopsticks at this moment.

After all, this is the [Nightmare Town] dungeon, everything is unknown, and even this meal may hide deadly dangers.

However, just when Su Ning was about to refuse, she clearly noticed that the air around her suddenly became silent, as if time was frozen at this moment.

Her pupils shrank suddenly, and the figures of her parents began to distort in her sight. The originally warm dining table and room became blurred in an instant.

The air around her seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and a terrifying aura spread rapidly, as if it would swallow her up in the next second.

Suning: ? ? !

Su Ning's heart tightened, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind: "Oh no, what mechanism has been triggered? Will refusing to eat be judged as 'different'?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, she immediately changed her tone, quickly sat down at the table, forced a smile on her face, and said in a relaxed tone: "You still have to eat breakfast."

As soon as she finished speaking, the horrifying scene around her disappeared without a trace.

Her mother still stood beside her kindly, and her father picked up the magazine again, as if everything that had just happened was just Su Ning's illusion.

The room returned to its warm atmosphere, and the food on the table was still steaming, as if nothing had happened.

But Suning's heart could not calm down for a long time.

She lowered her head, but her heart was filled with turbulent waves.

She now completely understood the meaning of the sentence in the mission: "Don't let the natives of Nightmare Town discover your difference*."

In this copy, any action that is inconsistent with the behavior of the "natives" may lead to unpredictable consequences.

And she must play her role perfectly, that is, the role of "Suning", without any deviation.

"Am I going to play myself?" Suning smiled bitterly in his heart.

She never thought that one day she would need to play "herself" in a copy, and in an environment full of weirdness and danger.

She must remain vigilant at all times and not show any emotions or behaviors that are different from the "natives", otherwise it will trigger a certain mechanism of the copy and bring unpredictable dangers.

She ate her meal mechanically while quickly analyzing the situation in her mind.

Her mother still gently picked up food for her, and her father looked up at her from time to time, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

Suning knew that he had to act naturally and not let them notice anything unusual.

"Xiaoning, why are you eating so slowly today? Is the food not to your liking?" Mother suddenly spoke with a hint of worry in her tone.

Su Ning's heart tightened, and he quickly shook his head: "No, Mom, the food is delicious, I'm just... a little tired."

"Tired?" His father put down the newspaper, frowning slightly. "Did you stay up late again last night? I've told you so many times to go to bed early and stop playing with your phone all the time."

Su Ning lowered his head and stuck out his tongue, pretending to admit his mistake: "I know, Dad, I won't do it again next time."

In the past, whenever my father was about to lecture me, I would always pretend to admit my mistakes, so that my father couldn’t do anything to me.

While dealing with her parents' concern, she was secretly planning her next move in her mind.

She knew that she had to find the rules and loopholes of this copy as soon as possible and survive in this nightmare town for seven days.

"Maybe I need to find other players, or find the secret of this copy." Suning decided secretly in his heart.

She decided to find an excuse to go out after dinner and check the situation outside.

No matter what, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was still warm, but Suning's heart was full of vigilance.

She knew that this game with illusion had just begun.

She carefully observed her parents' expressions and movements.

Her father still looked down at the newspaper, occasionally taking a bite of food, while her mother was busy serving her soup, as if everything was normal.

However, it is this "normality" that makes Suning feel even more uneasy.

After her initial excitement subsided, she began to calmly analyze the situation.

"This mission in Nightmare Town seems simple: just survive for seven days and keep the natives from discovering my differences. But the question is, what exactly does this 'difference' refer to? Is it a behavioral difference, or a revelation of my identity? Since I'm being asked to act in front of these so-called 'parents', what other differences could trigger danger?"

Suning's mind was racing.

Suning is not afraid that the food in front of him is poisonous.

Her scavenging poison talent allows her to completely absorb toxins and even transform them into her own strength.

However, just as she was carefully eating the food in front of her, she suddenly felt a sharp pain from deep within her body, as if countless fine needles were moving in her blood vessels.

"What is this...?" Su Ning frowned and tried hard not to make any sound, but beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

She looked down at her right arm and saw that the poison that had been sealed by the power of authority was erupting again.

Those black lines spread under her skin like living things, bringing waves of burning pain.

"Oh no, I forgot about this factor!" Suning's heart sank, and he suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

This copy limits the power of authority, and the poison that she had previously sealed with the help of authority will naturally recur due to the loss of authority.

The [Poison] that Lilith left in her body was now corroding her body at an alarming rate.

Suning gritted her teeth and tried to stay calm, but the pain in her body made it almost impossible for her to concentrate.

Her breathing became rapid and her face gradually turned pale.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of the "parents" in the copy.

"Xiao Ning, what's wrong with you? Did you have a stomachache?" Mother Su stood up anxiously, walked quickly to Su Ning's side, and touched her forehead. "Why are you sweating so much? Are you feeling unwell?"

Father Su also put down the newspaper in his hand, frowning: "Is it a problem with the food? Mother, don't just stand there, go get the medicine!"

"Oh oh oh, I'll go right away!" Su's mother quickly turned around and ran to the kitchen, rummaging through the drawers and cabinets to look for medicine.

Su Ning wanted to stop them, but the pain in her body left her without the strength to speak.

She could only watch helplessly as her "mother" hurried back with a bottle of pills and a glass of water, saying anxiously, "Hurry up, take the medicine. It's for pain relief, it should give you some relief."

Suning hesitated for a moment, but the pain in her body forced her to take the pills.

She swallowed the pill and took a sip of water.

However, unexpectedly, after taking the pills, her pain was actually relieved.

The black lines gradually faded away, and the stinging sensation also weakened a lot.

Su Ning was a little surprised. "Could this medicine really be effective? Or is this just some kind of mechanism in the dungeon? It can even weaken Lilith's power."

Because of the medicinal tablets in the copy, Lilith's [Poison Corrosion] power was directly weakened. Although Suning's Scavenging Poison still could not absorb the toxin, it could achieve a delicate balance with the Poison Corrosion.

Su Ning couldn't help but look at the pills in Su's mother's hand.

[Nightmare Town Special Effect Pain Suppressant]: Effect: @da@s/%

Although he saw the name of the pill, he couldn't see the effect of the pill at all. However, this pill caught Suning's attention.

"Specially effective pain suppressant, so it can suppress any pain? It seems I can collect some of these drugs in this dungeon."

Suning found some motivation to survive in this copy.

The crisis was also resolved because of the pills.

Suning raised his head and looked at his "parents" who were full of concern, feeling mixed emotions.

Although she knew that all this was an illusion, their concern and anxiety were so real, as if she had really returned to the past, to that carefree time.

"Xiao Ning, are you feeling better?" Mother Su patted her back gently, her tone full of worry.

Suning nodded and forced a smile: "Much better, thank you, Mom."

Father Su breathed a sigh of relief, but his tone was still stern: "Be careful with what you eat in the future. Don't always eat random food from outside. Your body is your own, you must learn to cherish it."

Suning lowered his head and replied softly, "I know, Dad."

But she knew in her heart that she had to find a way to deal with the toxin as soon as possible.

Otherwise, during these seven days, she would not only have to face the dangers of the copy, but also have to fight against the poison in her body.

All of this made her feel unprecedented pressure.

"It seems that this copy is more complicated than I thought." Suning decided secretly in his heart.

The meal was very tense, and it also allowed Suning to discover some of the rules of this nightmare town.

Suning felt complicated and confused.

She realized that in this copy of Nightmare Town, she seemed unable to go against the wishes of her "parents".

Just like when she refused to eat breakfast before, her parents almost transformed into some kind of terrifying creatures.

Obviously, the rules of the copy require her to play her role well and not behave in any way different from the "natives".

However, to her surprise, the parents in the copy did not make things difficult for her. Instead, they behaved like real parents, caring about her and taking care of her.

This made Su Ning feel a little confused: "Could it be that these fake parents also love me deeply? Or is this just a trap designed by the copy to confuse me?"

Suning shook his head, trying to get rid of these distracting thoughts.

No matter what, she couldn't be fooled by these appearances.

Her mission is to survive for seven days without being discovered as different by the natives.

This is what she needs to focus on.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside. The sound was quick and heavy, as if the person knocking was in a very bad mood.

"Pumbaa!"

The knock on the door sounded again, carrying with it a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.

Su's mother frowned, put down the dishes in her hands, stood up and said, "Who is it, so early in the morning?" As she spoke, she walked towards the door.

Suning was also very curious, so he followed

When Su's mother opened the door, Su Ning's pupils shrank slightly, and a feeling of surprise suddenly surged in his heart.

The person standing outside the door was Zhang Li’s mother, Duan Meijuan.

Duan Meijuan also died in the survival copy shortly after it arrived.

Su Ning had a flash of inspiration, "It seems that this is also the native inhabitant of the Nightmare Town dungeon."

Duan Meijuan's face was gloomy at the moment, with obvious dissatisfaction and anger in her eyes. She was obviously in a very bad mood.

Seeing the aggressive Duan Meijuan, Suning felt a little nostalgic.

But the next second Suning didn’t think so.

"Suning, come out!" Duan Meijuan immediately raised her voice when she saw Su Ning, her tone full of questioning, "Have you bullied my Zhang Li again?"

Suning: ???

Suning was a little confused for a moment and didn't react at all.

Su Ning pointed at himself and asked, "I bullied Zhang Li?"

"Auntie, did you misunderstand? I haven't seen Zhang Li recently, how could I bully her?" Su Ning tried his best to make his tone sound calm, while quickly analyzing the situation in his mind.

Since everyone here is the native of Nightmare Town, she cannot reveal her differences to the natives outside.

Duan Meijuan, however, refused to give in, her tone becoming even more aggressive: "Misunderstanding? My Zhang Li woke up this morning and started crying when she saw me. You must have bullied her, otherwise why would she be crying?"

Suning: ? ?
