The first time Bai Tao woke up after her death, she found herself thrown into a world of uncanny rules by the world's consciousness, becoming an ordinary human.
Her neighbor is a talking ...
Chapter 009: Netherworld Cemetery (VIII)
Is she ooc?
Yes, [You are a mother who doesn’t get angry easily]
She had overacted before and her brother had seen through her flaws.
The question now is whether her brother is testing her or has already confirmed Bai Tao's identity.
[Prohibit family members from fighting each other]
This rule is not a protection, but a prelude to battle.
Only family members are prohibited from fighting. Bai Tao is a role-playing player and is not included in this category.
So my brother wanted to confirm her identity through fighting.
Bai Tao's brain was working fast, and there was a way out.
The kitchen is your territory
In the morning, her father stood at the door urging her to cook, and her brother also stood outside the kitchen and watched anxiously.
My brother didn't dare to come in without permission.
In other words, if Bai Tao doesn't go out, she won't be attacked.
But this means that the task of having dinner together becomes more difficult, as the brother is the only monster now.
If you don't go out, the other two will come back and the situation will become 1v3.
Sitting there and waiting for death is just waiting for death, so Bai Tao chose to take the initiative.
"Are you sure?" Bai Tao asked back, picking up the only offensive weapon in the kitchen, a kitchen knife.
The kitchen knife is very sharp and very useful when dealing with those messy ingredients.
Combat is an important part of the game, and it's time to develop your combat abilities.
Moreover, the body given by the system has good fighting talent, so there is a chance of winning.
The arrogant ones are afraid of the stupid ones, and the stupid ones are afraid of the desperate ones.
At least my brother was stunned for a moment when he saw Bai Tao rushing towards him with a kitchen knife.
Bai Tao has a clear goal, and his first move is a killing move.
The blade was aimed at my brother's carotid artery.
My brother dodged it.
The knife swinging motion is large and the speed is slow, which is a normal phenomenon for a novice and can be improved.
After failing to hit the target, he returned to the kitchen to make amends, then went out again with a kitchen knife in hand.
This time it's a fight to the death.
Bai Tao protected her weak points and began to exchange injuries.
There was a bloody hole in the palm of his left hand and his arm was covered with multiple scratches.
Ignoring the pain, he practiced madly with his brother, and his combat proficiency improved rapidly.
The brother was frightened by Bai Tao's desperate fighting style and revealed his weakness.
Bai Tao grabbed her brother's bird's beak with her bloody left hand and stabbed it with a kitchen knife. With a sound of cutting, the bird's beak broke off and fell to the ground.
My brother's greatest weapon was separated from him, and he let out a scream that was even more miserable than the knife wound in his carotid artery.
And the price of breaking the rules finally emerged.
A wound appeared out of nowhere on my brother's body, and the location was exactly the same as Bai Tao's wound.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
"You, you are really the mother?"
Of course not. The wound was not caused by the rule that [family members are prohibited from killing each other], but because of Bai Tao's identity as a minor.
The rules of City Hall are far superior to those of Nether Apartments, but in Nether Apartments, the cost of violating City Hall rules is reduced.
There's absolutely no problem in scaring my brother.
My brother has lost his fighting spirit.
He just wants to eat meat. There's no human flesh. Why fight? Stop fighting.
"Mom, I was wrong, please stop hitting me."
He begged for help, but his thoughts flew away.
His eyes rolled around, wondering whether his father was a human or his sister.
Bai Tao won't let him go so easily.
Continue rushing forward with the kitchen knife.
The elder brother stepped back: "Hey, wait, ▆, this is just ▆▆, there's no need to fight, Mom, dear mom, I, I didn't touch your face, ah~"
My brother screamed, "Don't come over here!"
Bai Tao kept her own persona in mind and acted like a good parent: "Good boy, come here quickly, mom will give you a haircut."
Relying on the parental dominance over the child, Bai Tao cut off half of the comb on her brother's head.
Gently comforting the brother who changed his hairstyle: "I didn't touch your face, be good, I'll make you old chicken comb soup tomorrow."
After hearing this, my brother broke down even more.
Without those inhuman features, my brother looked more like a human. At least Bai Tao liked him a lot more.
Give a sweet date after hitting someone with a stick.
Good mother Bai Tao finished bandaging her own wound and started bandaging her brother's.
The brother looked at the disappearing wounds on his mother's body and dared not provoke her even more.
He didn't know that only the skin of the white peach was restored.
The brother didn't remain cowardly for long, as Bai Tao's gentle actions helped him regain his courage.
"Do you think it's the dad or the sister?"
"We'll know after dinner, why are you in such a hurry?"
"What if he runs away? Then we won't be able to eat human flesh. When you woke up in the morning, who did you think it was? Let's work together and split the flesh 50-50?"
"Fifty-five?" Bai Tao asked back, giving her brother a look, letting him figure it out for himself.
The elder brother took a step back and said, "Four and six is fine, you take six and I take four."
Seeing that Bai Tao didn't say anything, he gritted his teeth and took another step back: "Three seven, three human flesh is barely enough for me to be half full, I can't retreat any further."
Bai Tao finally nodded with satisfaction: "2v2, during dinner, you keep an eye on dad, and I'll keep an eye on sister."
The elder brother nodded: "Okay, I'll feed Dad and you feed the younger sister. After she eats the meat, she will reveal herself."
Revealing his true form, Bai Tao seemed to be thinking about something.
&&
In the living room, a family of four sat at the dining table, each with different thoughts.
On the left is the brother, on the right sits the sister, and opposite is the father.
My brother broke the silence first and put a piece of braised pork in my father's bowl.
"Dad, you've been working all day, you eat first."
The younger sister stared at the wound on her brother's body and asked naively with her head tilted: "Brother, why don't you eat?"
She grabbed the meat and was about to stuff it into her brother's mouth.
Bai Tao stopped her sister at the right time: "You are not allowed to go to the table. How was school today?"
I glanced and met my father's eyes.
He has a pair of very lively eyes.
His eyes were saying 'Hey, I spot you, human' and he was going to have the kill all to himself.
Bai Tao smiled and greeted her father.
Dad was indifferent. He watched Bai Tao's performance quietly, as if he was watching a grasshopper in autumn.
After another round of hypocritical probing, the dining table fell into an eerie silence again.
The clock hands move forward bit by bit.
The rules for dinner are slightly different from those for brunch.
[Eat breakfast at 8 am, lunch at 12 pm, and dinner before 6 pm]
'Before 6 o'clock' is a limit, and all four of them must abide by this rule.
As it was getting closer to 6 o'clock, my brother was the first to take action, picking up the braised pork and putting it into my father's mouth.
Not to be outdone, the younger sister climbed onto the dining table and chased after her brother.
And Dad’s target is Bai Tao.
He was cautious, and even more so after seeing the wounds on his brother's body.
Instead of using force, he persuaded Bai Tao to eat meat with deep affection.
[There is a human among us. Hint: Humans will reveal their true colors if they eat meat.]
On the small dining table, the relationship between the four corners exists in a complex and harmonious manner.
Brother→Father→Mother→Sister→Brother
Everyone was polite to each other and scrambled to feed meat to the target.
Constrained by the [No Waste] rule, the four monster-like guys actually look somewhat civilized.
Although Bai Tao seemed to attack her sister, she was actually targeting her father together with her brother. She stopped her sister to prevent her from disturbing her brother's attack.
With her brother supporting her from the front, Bai Tao had it very easy. She could either scare her father by throwing oil on her face or grab her sister by the collar and drag her back.
In a two-on-one situation, Dad got the meat first.
Then it was the brother's turn. He was not a human who was afraid of eating meat. At the thought of eating human flesh, the worms in his stomach started to rumble. Without thinking, he ate the meat that his sister put in front of his mouth.
Mm, it tastes good.
Soon his face darkened, because Dad is still Dad.
If not Dad, then who is the only human among them?
The brother glanced at his sister, what a cunning kid he was, and bit her arm.
The younger sister was in great pain, and Bai Tao took the opportunity to stuff the meat in.
Dad's pupils shrank, knowing something was wrong, and he immediately rushed towards Bai Tao.
But it was too late.
Bai Tao ate noodles, and everyone in the family of four had their meal. At this point, the mission of having dinner together was accomplished!
"Bye, thank you all for your passionate performance. I'm leaving now."
Leaving behind three furious monsters, Bai Tao's figure gradually disappeared.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the hall of Netherworld Cemetery.
This is the end of the journey, and there are only two people left on the trip - Shi Subaru and Ma Li.
The former was unharmed.
The latter was covered in blood and was missing an arm and a leg.
My spirit is on the verge of collapse.
Mary yelled, "I've cleared the level, let me go."
She lay on the ground, her eyes bloodshot, staring at Zhang Yu.
【After the visit, please remember to fill in the questionnaire. 】
Shi Subaru quickly reminded: "Questionnaire."
Ma Li regained consciousness a little: "Yes, yes, yes, questionnaire, I want to fill out the questionnaire."
The staff still looked unhurried, but Mary was still losing blood and could fall into a coma at any time.
Shi Subaru's face flashed with anger, but then she suppressed it and asked the staff, "Where is the questionnaire?"
"I guess the questionnaire is on the back of the rule sheet." Bai Tao added.
The front of her rule sheet reads "Guest Rules of the Netherworld Cemetery" and the back reads "Temporary Worker Rules of the Netherworld Cemetery"
The back of Shi Subaru's and the others' rule sheet is probably the questionnaire.
Ma Li couldn't wait and filled in the form with her own blood without waiting for the staff to get a pen.
He filled it out quickly and looked at Zhang Yu hopefully: "I've filled it out, let me leave now."
Zhang Yu looked down and asked, "Are you sure?"
Mary said without hesitation: "Yes, right now, let me get out of this damn place."
"Well, congratulations on your clearance, Ms. Marley."
Mary's eyes lit up and her face showed joy of surviving a disaster, and then her heart was pierced by the octopus's tentacles.
Ma Li covered her chest, stared at Zhang Yu and asked, "Why?"
She died with her eyes open, just before she could pass the level.
Even though the guest was dead, Zhang Yu still responded politely: "Don't do anything that is against your status, ma'am. Unfortunately, you have violated the rules and are no longer a guest of the cemetery."
Retrieve the cemetery item from Marley's pocket.
Zhang Yu shook off the blood on the tentacles and asked the other two survivors: "Do you two want to leave?"
No one answered her.
Shi Mao wanted to wait for Yao Xue to come out, Bai Tao couldn't leave.
She sat on the sofa and looked at Shi Subaru. He was serious, responsible, and powerful. He was a very good companion.
But……
"Pay attention to the time."
As it approached 12 o'clock, Shi Subaru gave up waiting and filled out the questionnaire.
She gave it five stars because she didn't want anything to go wrong.
"I have passed the level. If you encounter any problems in real life, you can come to me." Shi Mao said.
The next moment, a system notification sounded in the ears of the two women.
[Rule Strange Talk: Netherworld Cemetery dungeon ends, number of participants: 6 number of survivors: 1]
Shi Subaru looked at Bai Tao with horror.
