39 Haunted Apartment 3
◎Starving Ghost Stories◎
Sang Mian affirmed: "Yes, Tangtang is right, as long as you don't commit suicide, you won't die!"
Other players: “…” What were you doing just now!
After the players chose their apartments, they took their keys and returned to their rooms.
[Side quest: Please ask the player to successfully move into the apartment tonight]
【Rewards are being distributed...】
[20 million ghost money, players can check it themselves]
As soon as he entered the room, the system issued a reward with a ding, and the temperature returned to normal. Sang Mian rubbed his red, frozen finger bones, and after turning on the light, he was stunned.
[Because there are often hateful humans among the rent collectors, in order to identify their identities, all the tenants of the Haunted Apartment crowdfunded and purchased the weird stories. They believe that only the real rent collectors can survive.]
[The ghost story of this room is——Starving Ghost Ghost Story]
[Ghost Talk Mission: Please Feed the Starving Ghost]
[Ghost Story Reward: 50 million ghost money]
[Failure penalty: Stay with your family forever]
After the system finished speaking, Sang Mian blurted out a Chinese quintessence, "No money to pay the rent but money to buy ghost stories? Are they serious?"
Sang Mian suddenly felt that her resentment was greater than that of the ghost. She finally had time to sleep, but now she had to deal with ghost stories. She slowly turned her gaze to the living room.
Under the warm yellow light, a woman with short wavy hair and a very thin figure sat at a wooden square table. She was holding the arm of a chubby man in a dark blue jacket. Opposite the square table was a boy who was swinging a Barbie doll. The boy's body was like a ball and he was so fat that his facial features could not be seen clearly.
"Sister, you're back." The boy held the Barbie doll and happily took Sang Mian's hand and sat down at the square table.
Sang Mian pursed her lips. Perhaps because of the strange story, she did not notice the weirdness of the three people. They looked like a normal and ordinary family waiting for their sister to come home.
"Mom, my sister is back. Can we have dinner now?" The boy drooled, leaning on the table with both hands, looking at his thin mother with longing on his face.
My mother's mouth was pale and she looked like skin and bones, as if she had been hungry for three days.
"Of course, my baby." The mother touched the boy's head and took out a yellowed envelope from her apron and handed it to Sang Mian. "It's sent by your classmate."
Classmates? Sang Mian thought that she had graduated for four years, where did the classmates come from? But she soon figured it out. The envelope probably contained the rules of the ghost story. She needed to find the right rules and abide by them in order to survive.
"Okay, mom."
Mom smiled and said, "I'll go serve the dishes."
As soon as mom left, dad and brother's gentle eyes immediately changed, looking at Sang Mian as if she were dead. Dad slammed the table and yelled, "Go and help your mom! You only know how to eat every day, are you a pig? Our family can't afford a lazy daughter!"
The younger brother, holding his doll, kicked Sang Mian's shin unexpectedly.
Sang Mian howled in pain, and angrily asked her brother, "Why did you kick me?"
The younger brother glared at her resentfully: "I hate my sister who steals my food!"
Sang Mian took a deep breath and threatened fiercely: "If you kick me again, I will throw away your Barbie doll!" Ever since he first met his younger brother, his younger brother has been very concerned about the Barbie doll.
Sure enough, my brother walked away angrily.
I opened the letter and saw the following words written on it in red pen:
[Rule 1: Meals are served every two hours. Please dine with your beloved family on time.]
[Rule 2: Mom doesn’t like family members who waste food, please finish the rice in your bowl]
[Rule 3: Ten minutes before dinner starts, the delivery man will come to deliver my mother’s favorite tomato juice, and you need to open the door to pick up the food]
[Rule 4: If you see a pig, it must be your hallucination, please ignore it]
[Rule 5: If you violate any of the above rules, please cut off your finger and give it to your mother as an apology]
There are five rules in total. Sang Mian read them carefully and put the envelope into her pocket. She must be careful during the ghost talk time because there are no people she knows here. Sang Mian turned on her phone. It was 8:58 in the morning. The time during the ghost talk was different from the time outside. She remembered that it was already night when she entered the room.
Sang Mian wanted to ask about Xia Qing and Bai Tang's situation, but her phone didn't have a new number, so she couldn't send the message after a long time. It seemed that the ghost story was intentionally separating the players, and now she could only pray silently that Xia Qing and Bai Tang were safe.
At nine o'clock, mother came to the dining table on time with a basin of meat, and served a big bowl of meat to the father and son and Sang Mian.
The meat in the bowl was pork belly, which had not been cooked but simply boiled in water. The steam was accompanied by a strong fishy smell.
Sang Mian was sure that a normal person would not be able to eat it. It was too fishy. Even if she was a seasoned undertaker, she would not be able to bear it and would definitely vomit it out.
The father, son and mother seemed to have seen a delicacy, their saliva flowing. When the mother said it was time to eat, the father and son grabbed the meat with their bare hands and stuffed it into their mouths like hungry wolves.
Sang Mian's frown was so tight that it could kill a fly. The second rule was: Mom doesn't like family members who waste food, please finish the rice in your bowl. She now had to verify the truth of this rule.
The mother put down the chopsticks and asked, "Dear daughter, why don't you eat?"
Sang Mian laughed dryly. She looked at her delicate little hands. Rule 6 said that if you violated any of the above rules, you should cut off your fingers and give them to your mother to apologize. After thinking for two seconds, an inspiration rushed into her brain! She slapped her thigh and said to her mother with a smile: "I'll eat it now!"
After saying that, Sang Mian quickly picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth. The meat was very tough and the fishy smell rushed straight to her head. She had to work hard to swallow the meat.
Is the rule correct? Sang Mian looked at the three people at the table and found that her mother still hadn't eaten, but was staring at her unhappily. Sang Mian was startled and thought to herself, I'm not meat, why are you staring at me?
Wait, isn't she meat? Human flesh is also meat!
After two seconds, the mother opened her mouth and revealed her teeth. The neat teeth in her thin body began to change and gradually became sharp. She stretched out her hand towards Sang Mian: "I'm so hungry... I want to eat meat... I'm so hungry..."
Oh my goodness, the rules are wrong! Sang Mian immediately dropped her bowl and chopsticks. The consequence of violating the rules was obvious: her mother would eat this huge piece of meat.
According to the sixth rule, if you violate any of the above rules, please cut off your finger and give it to your mother to apologize. At this time, the father and son slowed down their eating speed, with expressions of watching a good show on their faces. The meat-cutting knife on the table flashed coldly under the light, and the younger brother also considerately pushed the knife to Sang Mian's hand.
Sang Mian: “…” Does she also have to thank her brother?
Cutting her finger was impossible. She would never hurt her body in her life. Sang Mian said to her mother sincerely, "You want to eat your finger, right?"
The mother paused. She didn't know why her daughter asked this, but her extreme psychological need made her nod. She said in a hoarse voice, "You can eat it too."
Rather than eating her fingers, she wanted to eat the living person in front of her more.
Sang Mian got a satisfactory answer and smiled sweetly. The next second she turned to look at her chubby brother. The rule only said to cut off the finger, but did not say whose finger to cut off, so anyone's finger would be fine!
The elder sister was smiling, but the younger brother had an ominous premonition in his heart. This premonition made him very uncomfortable, and even his favorite pork belly could not cure him. The younger brother put down the meat in his hand dryly, "What are you doing! Hurry up and give your finger to mom!"
Sang Mian: "No hurry, sister asks you a question, are we a loving family?"
According to the first rule, the younger brother could only answer: "Yes."
Because her brother was eating and couldn't hold his doll, Sang Mian easily took the doll away. She tempted him with a gentle tone: "My dear brother, as my dearest family member, shouldn't you help me when my sister is in trouble?"
When the younger brother saw the doll was taken away, he immediately bared his teeth and said, "You are dreaming! Give the doll back to me!"
Sang Mian gently grabbed the doll's pigtails and shook the doll's body. She pursed her lips and said, "Sister needs a finger now. Will your brother give it to me?"
The younger brother quickly put his two pairs of chubby hands into his pockets and looked at his sister with a vigilant face, thinking, is my sister crazy today? She even dares to take his fingers?
Unexpectedly, she refused to give it to her. Her mother's face got closer and closer. Sang Mian slapped her and pushed her away. Since her mother didn't kill her immediately, there must be a time limit. The rules would give her enough time to cut off her fingers.
Sang Mian raised an evil smile, holding one of the doll's arms in each hand, pretending to tear it apart: "If you don't give it to me, I will tear your doll apart!"
The younger brother was horrified and looked at his father for help with anxious eyes, but his father seemed unaware of the family dispute and was still busy eating.
Sang Mian clicked his tongue twice. They were a loving family, but it seemed like this was all they were.
She tugged at the doll's arm.
My brother yelled, “No!”
Sang Mian glanced at Xiaodao, the meaning was very clear, anyway, the characters in his brother's ghost stories were definitely not normal people, so it was normal for him to be missing a finger.
The younger brother gritted his teeth, feeling extremely conflicted.
Sang Mian simply pulled off a strand of the baby's hair. His brother's tears fell like beads from a broken string and he said reluctantly, "Isn't it enough for me to give it to you?"
He picked up the knife, and as tears fell, his little finger fell on the table.
Sang Mian stared at his brother's broken hand without blinking. Sure enough, not a drop of blood flowed out, only white bones.
After handing the little finger to the mother, she put it in her mouth and chewed it with an intoxicated look on her face. The crunching sound and the sound of the father tearing the meat combined into a perfect symphony.
But my mother’s wide-open mouth still didn’t recover, and the illusion even seemed to be getting bigger.
Two seconds later, Sang Mian was sure that it was not an illusion, and her mother's mouth and teeth were indeed changing.
She turned to her brother and asked, "How wide can her mouth open?"
My brother was very sad at first, but he became happy again after I mentioned this question, "Hehe, I can eat a big one like you!"
Sang Mian said, "And then?"
Brother: "And then I'll eat you!"
Sang Mian scratched her head. Her mother’s mouth was big enough to fit a football. It seemed a bit difficult, but she had already given her finger to her mother, so it should be safe according to the rules.
She thought back to the second rule: Mom doesn't like family members who waste food, so please finish the food in your bowl.
The rule was undoubtedly wrong, and she did not continue to eat. Sang Mian looked at her father who was wolfing down his food and suddenly thought, would the rule include her father and brother? Not only could she not eat, but her father and brother could not eat either.
She stared at her father who was eating voraciously. If it was really as she guessed, then she had to find a way to prevent her father from eating.
