160 Weird Library 3
◎Difficulties ◎
Bai Tang's heart turned cold. She thought about fighting for the management rights of the company by any despicable means, but she never thought of killing her two cousins.
There is no reason, she is a human being, that's the bottom line.
But this is a record of human past, Bai Tang thought in her heart, the old man told them that the key to this mission is to resolve the obsession in their hearts, what does it mean to resolve the obsession?
Her obsession is to inherit the family property smoothly, but the old man adheres to the feudal old ideas and has always believed that boys are the backbone of the family and girls only have the role of marrying into other companies.
In order to change the old man over the years, she has made a lot of efforts in private, starting from the bottom and climbing up to the management level step by step. And because her two cousins wanted to join the company to learn, the old man put them in the same management positions as himself, and they even had more power than her.
All her efforts were in vain! The sentence her father said to her most often was: "If you were a boy, it would be great. It's your mother's fault for not having a baby!"
Thinking of this, Bai Tang's breathing became heavier. Killing his cousin would allow him to inherit the family fortune... It was really a good idea...
Anyway, this is not the real world, so what's wrong with killing my cousin?
While she was lost in thought, the servant took away the plate in front of her and brought a plate of silver knives, which was a sharp bone-chopping knife.
Please kill your opponent.
The ancestral home was eerily quiet, and the system sound rang in my head.
Isn't it... not covering it up at all? Which idiot would be willing to be killed?
Bai Tang breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. She looked up, and then something happened that made her hair stand on end.
Her grandfather, parents, uncle and cousin stared at her intently, with anticipation in their eyes, as if they were expecting Bai Tang to pick up the bone-chopping knife in front of him and chop off their heads.
Bai Tang was so frightened by the looks of the crowd that he broke into a cold sweat... How could it be possible... Didn't they feel something was wrong? That bone-chopping knife was so scary, why didn't anyone say anything?
What is wrong with the world?
"Dad, Mom." Bai Tang's voice was hoarse, "Didn't you see it?"
Dad smiled and said, "Our Tangtang has grown up, let's get started quickly."
Dad was encouraging her. Bai Tang felt a chill on her back. This was abnormal. It was too abnormal! Murder was against the law. Their family would never allow a single stain. Why? Why didn't anyone say anything?
No... This is the world of Records of Human Past. Her obsession is to inherit her ancestral business, so Records of Human Past created an opportunity for her. As long as she kills her cousin... As long as she kills her cousin, she can resolve her obsession... The opportunity is already in front of her, why doesn't she do it?
There were countless voices in her mind telling her to kill her cousin. There were the voices of her parents, her grandfather, her uncle, and her cousin himself. Those words wove a chaotic symphony in her mind, making it impossible for her to think... Kill them... Kill them...
Bai Tang picked up the boning knife with trembling hands and scanned everyone's cheeks. She saw approval in her parents' eyes, and her father even raised his glass to congratulate her.
The two cousins smiled, their bodies slightly opened, waiting for the boning knife to come.
Should she take action? Should she kill her cousin? If she kills her cousin, she can inherit the family business smoothly... She only needs to take the knife and gently cut her cousin's throat. From then on, she will have no competitors. All she needs to do is raise her hand...
Bai Tang stood up, and the servant thoughtfully pulled the chair away. She slowly walked between her two cousins and raised the hand holding the bone-chopping knife...
“Crash…”
The bone-chopping knife in Bai Tang's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound... She couldn't do it! She couldn't kill a living human being with her own hands!
"You disappoint me so much..." The father frowned, "You have lofty ambitions but you can't even kill someone. How can you inherit our family business? Our family business will be ruined if it falls into your hands!"
The mother's face was also full of disappointment, "Tangtang...you...forget it, girls are useless after all."
The old man snorted coldly: "I've already said that girls are useless, and you still dream of inheriting the company? Haha."
The two cousins looked at her sarcastically, "How boring! You should just get ready to pack up and get married when you are old enough! Hahahaha!"
I don’t know how much time passed before the shrill sound disappeared. Bai Tang stood there in a daze, his hands shaking uncontrollably. It took a long time for them to calm down.
This is a record of human past, not the real human world. What these people say is all false, and she doesn't need to care.
Bai Tang took a deep breath and walked back to the room with heavy steps. She thought about what the system said. She wondered if there was any way to inherit the family business without killing people. Apart from killing people, she could do anything.
After thinking about it for a long time, Bai Tang suddenly sat up from the bed. Kidnapping! Isn't it enough to lock up the two cousins for a while and wait for her to inherit the family business? Bai Tang really wanted to brag about her brain. How could she be so smart!
There is no need to worry about finding someone to kidnap. As long as the price is high enough, there will definitely be someone who can take the order.
Sleepiness gradually came over him, and Bai Tang fell asleep with a satisfied heart.
......
The difficult afternoon passed. For some reason, Xia Qing's mind was in a daze. She found a few slices of bread from the refrigerator and ate them to fill her stomach. After eating, she returned to her grandmother.
Grandma fell asleep in the room.
Xia Qing looked at her grandmother's sleeping face with mixed feelings. She looked exactly like her grandmother in the human world, even her sleeping posture was the same.
She remembered that her grandmother's first words after waking up from her nap were: "Xiaoqing, did you study today?"
Xia Qing lowered her head. She really wanted to tell her grandmother that she was already in college and didn't need to study every day, but she never told her grandmother since she fell ill.
She suddenly felt a little excited. Will the grandmother in the Records of Human Past tell it?
After a few minutes, grandma opened her wrinkled eyes and tilted her head to look at Xia Qing. She smiled lovingly and said, "Xiao Qing, did you study today?"
Familiar words entered her ears, and Xia Qing couldn't help shedding tears. She choked and said, "Grandma, I'm already in college! I don't have to study every day."
Grandma stroked her silver-white hair and said, "Yes, our Xiaoqing is very hardworking and has been admitted to university."
Time seemed to have gone back to the past, when she and her grandmother depended on each other for survival. Xia Qing hoped that these days would last longer. At least her grandmother here was not plagued by illness and could still talk and laugh with her in good health.
After chatting for a while, grandma sat up from the mat and stared at Xia Qing blankly with confused eyes.
Xia Qing asked quickly: "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm hungry." Grandma licked her dry lips, "Xiaoqing, grandma is hungry."
Xia Qing's heart tightened. No way?
Sure enough, grandma's next question was: "Can we have boiled human breast tonight?"
Xia Qing: “…”
She wanted to refuse: "Grandma, how about some chicken?"
Grandma tilted her head and looked at her in confusion: "Chicken? I don't want to eat it. I want to eat boiled human breast."
Xia Qing was defeated in the stalemate. Fine, fine, just boil the human breast. Anyway, this is the record of human past, not the real human world, so it’s okay to eat some human breast.
She went out to the market dejectedly. It was the butcher who sold meat at noon. In fact, she remembered this butcher, Uncle Zhang, who used to sell pork. The quality of his pork was particularly good, and she liked eating his pork very much.
"Xiao Qing is here again, what would you like to order this time?" The butcher said to Xia Qing with a smile, "Take your pick. There won't be much meat left today, just this little bit."
Xia Qing opened his mouth: "Does it have human breast meat?"
The butcher slapped his thigh and said, "You came at the right time. There's only one piece left. Should I pack it all for you?"
Xia Qing nodded.
After weighing it, it was three pounds. The butcher said honestly, "Just give me forty-five."
Xia Qing took out some change from his pocket and gave it to Uncle Zhang, then left with the meat.
On the way, she met the second aunt next door, who said, "Oh! Xiaoqing is here to buy meat again today. Your grandmother has a good appetite."
Xia Qing forced a smile, "Yeah, Second Aunt, where are you going?"
Second Aunt said, "Pick up our Dabao from school. Summer vacation is coming up in a few days. Xiaoqing, you can give him extra lessons. He has learned so much English that he didn't even pass the exam! I'll beat him to death when I get back!"
Xia Qing did not respond. She recalled that Dabao used to come to her house every day during the summer vacation for tutoring. At that time, Second Aunt would buy fruits for them to eat. Memories flooded into her mind like a tide. It seemed that except for the food, no one else had changed.
She smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's talk about it later." Without waiting for her second aunt to answer, she hurried back home. For some reason, her sixth sense told her to stay away from these people as they were very dangerous.
After rushing into the kitchen, Xia Qing endured the nausea and processed the human breast meat. She was busy for a long time, watching the meat gurgling in the pot, and the aroma of meat wafted into her nostrils.
Xia Qing swallowed subconsciously, it looks so delicious...
The next second, she shuddered all over. Damn it! She actually wanted to eat human flesh! This guy’s breast meat is human breast meat! She shook her head to get rid of the crazy thoughts in her mind, then poured the meat into a bowl and served it on the table.
This time, after eating two bites, grandma looked at Xia Qing and said, "Xiaoqing, why don't you eat? You look so thin, you should eat more meat." Then she picked up a piece of meat and put it into Xia Qing's bowl.
The old man's face was full of worry, and it didn't look fake.
Xia Qing looked at the human flesh in the bowl. After being processed, it couldn't be seen in its original appearance. It looked like pork, but she couldn't eat it. Human flesh! Who could eat it?
She lied and said with a bitter face: "Grandma, I feel uncomfortable in my stomach today. You can eat it yourself."
Grandma pretended to be angry: "I told you to drink less cold drinks. Now you have a stomachache, right? If you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer the consequences, don't you know?"
Xia Qing stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly, "I know, grandma."
[Congratulations to player Xia Qing for successfully completing the second stage of treatment. The player will be rewarded with ten hours of free time.]
Ten hours, just in time for bedtime, Xia Qing muttered: "How many treatments are left? This dead system doesn't even know how to explain it clearly."
......
Sang Mian opened the door again. Her father was reading on the sofa and her mother was cleaning the table. When she saw her coming out, her mother called her, "Xiao Mian, Dad will take you to school later."
"I'm not going today." Sang Mian sat down on another sofa slowly, and then said to his busy mother, "Come here, I have something to tell you two."
The mother put down the rag with a puzzled look on her face. What happened to the child today? It seemed different from usual.
Sang Mian crossed his legs and said arrogantly: "Okay, stop pretending, I know you are not my parents."
Sang's father, Sang's mother: "?"
Sang Mian thought, this little trick is enough to fool her? She is in the hell world. Although these two look like her parents, they must be fake.
Sang Mian said arrogantly: "Tell me, how many weirdos want to kill you? Where are they? Solve them all at once."
Sang's father wanted to touch her head, but Sang Mian slapped him away. She glared at the two of them and said, "I'm warning you, don't touch me."
Suddenly, Sang's mother stood up and walked towards her. Sang Mian felt a strong sense of oppression, and the next second a slap fell on her head.
"You little girl, you've gotten so brave, haven't you? How dare you talk to your parents like that!" Sang's mother didn't use too much force, so the girl didn't get hurt.
Sang Mian was stunned. Wasn't it right? Wasn't it what she expected? Why was the mother here so similar to her mother in the human world? Even the feeling of oppression was exactly the same.
Could it be that they are not weird? Are they human?
Sang Mian's mouth opened into an O shape, and she stammered, "Don't pretend, I know you are pretending to be Guiyi."
Sang Ma rubbed her hands together, "I think you are itching for trouble."
Father Sang quickly grabbed Mother Sang and said, "Don't get excited, mother. I think there's something wrong with her brain. Why don't we send her to a mental hospital first?"
Sang Mian: “…” You are the ones with problems in your brains!
Before she could figure it out, a ghost hand slowly stretched out from behind the sofa and moved towards Sang's father's neck little by little.
