When Qin Nuo heard this, his expression froze for a moment. He looked at the empty lunch box on the table and felt secretly surprised.
How did she know?
This supervision is too scary. It even knows whether the lunch box has been eaten or not?
The mother smiled with narrowed eyes and repeatedly asked: "You didn't eat, right?"
As she said this, dense patches of corpse spots crawled over her slightly wrinkled face like maggots on the tarsal bones.
The whites in the eye sockets faded little by little and turned dark.
"It's turned into a ghost again..."
Qin Nuo's eyelids twitched as he stared at the rice bowl. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I ate it, but not completely."
"What do you mean?" The mother remained silent, her cold eyes like a dagger of death pressed against Qin Nuo's throat, as if she would not give up until she got a satisfactory explanation.
"A female classmate named Huang Xia forgot to bring her lunch. I felt sorry for her, so I gave her all the food in my lunch box."
"Mom, didn't you tell me that I should be a good and helpful child? You won't blame me, right?" Qin Nuo hugged his head, looking aggrieved and frightened.
In fact, my heart was in a knot.
He didn't know how the other party knew that he didn't eat the lunch box, so he could only try to use this excuse to see if he could get away with it.
The mother stared into Qin Nuo's eyes, but Qin Nuo lowered his head, avoiding her gaze because he was afraid.
After a while, the mother withdrew her gaze, her smile less frightened and more relieved and doting: "Your idea is right, but don't do it next time. You gave your lunch to others and you became hungry. What should I do then?"
Qin Nuo quickly said, "I understand. I won't do it again next time."
"My dear son, you didn't eat lunch, you must be starving, right?"
"Mom will cook more food for you today."
Qin Nuo was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I'm not that hungry."
"Mom thinks you are hungry, so you are hungry? Be good and eat all the fruits on the table first." The mother got up and went into the kitchen.
Qin Nuo looked at her back, was silent for a moment, and then focused his eyes, trying to trigger the system skills.
Unfortunately, there was no movement.
"I can't trigger the Eye of Analysis, is it possible that when it comes to the main storyline, I can't get any clues from the NPCs?"
"Once I solve the mystery of Li Xiaoming's family, roleplaying becomes a breeze. The Eye of Analysis cheat is incredibly powerful. If it's activated 100%, I can literally walk through the dungeon and clear it in a single day."
"Currently, it seems that it can only be triggered by NPCs in some dungeon quests. It does not conflict with the main storyline, and it is not yet 100% triggered."
As Qin Nuo was muttering, the door opened and Li Xiaoqiu and Li Xiaodie came back.
When the two saw the fruit in Qin Nuo's hand, one had a look of disgust on his face while the other had a look of envy on his face.
"Brother, is this delicious?" Li Xiaodie asked with saliva on the corner of her mouth and looked over eagerly.
Before Qin Nuo could say anything, Li Xiaoqiu pulled her and scolded her coldly: "Don't look at it, we don't want it!"
Li Xiaodie was very afraid of her second brother's words, so she nodded. She looked at Qin Nuo and said, "Brother, eat slowly. I heard that a child next door ate a peach, accidentally swallowed the pit, and choked to death."
Qin Nuo, who was biting a peach, threw the peach back into the plate without hesitation.
He turned around and glared at her fiercely: "Shut your mouth, or I'll tear your mouth off!"
Li Xiaodie stuck out her tongue and ran back to her room.
After eating the fruit, Qin Nuo handed the plate back to the kitchen.
The mother looked at the clean fruit plate and praised, "Good boy, you finished eating it all."
As she spoke, she picked up a pile of minced meat with both hands, which was still dripping with a lot of black blood, put it into the pot, and turned the fire to the highest to cook.
The broth in the pot soon boiled, and the unknown meat rolled in the pot.
Qin Nuo frowned as he watched his mother adding seasonings, humming a song, and stirring the food in the pot with a spoon.
"Mom, I'm going back to my room to do my homework."
Qin Nuo said this, but his mother uttered a sigh, holding an empty bottle in her hand and said in distress: "Why is there no soy sauce?"
"My dear son, can you help your mother go to the neighbor downstairs and borrow a bottle of soy sauce?"
"Borrow some soy sauce?"
Qin Nuo was stunned for a moment, and then the game announcement sounded in his mind again.
"Ding, the player triggers the role-playing mission!"
"Li Xiaoming is an obedient child, completely devoted to his mother. The upstairs neighbor seems to have harbored ill will towards her. Taking a bottle of soy sauce from her house might yield some unexpected rewards."
"Roleplay Mission: Go upstairs to Room 403 and borrow a bottle of soy sauce. Time limit: 20 minutes!"
"Borrowing a bottle of soy sauce is considered a role-playing task?"
Qin Nuo was a little stunned. It was not uncommon for neighbors to borrow some daily necessities. Why did this sound so difficult?
He noticed one thing here.
His mother asked him to borrow from the neighbor downstairs, but the game asked him to borrow from upstairs.
It seems there is something fishy going on here.
The neighbor upstairs probably knows something about Li Xiaoming's family.
"Son, if you don't want to go, then I'll go. I'm just worried that the soup will get overcooked if no one is watching over it." There was a trace of worry on the mother's face.
"It's okay, Mom. Borrowing a bottle of soy sauce is quick. Just wait, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Qin Nuo left the kitchen.
After leaving home, Qin Nuo walked up the stairs.
This building is old, probably several decades old. The walls are covered with moss, the paint is cracked and peeling, and the water pipes and meters are covered with dust.
I don’t know how long it has been since the light bulb was broken and no one replaced it. At night, it was pitch black.
