Chapter 17 The Person Playing the Sister
Now Shen Sang Ning is really well-behaved and obedient, which makes Lin Xi feel like she is raising a daughter. But she quickly shook this idea out of her head. This is her wife, wife, how can she be raising a daughter?
Lin Xi finished blowing her hair on time, and she let Shen Sang Ning return to her body, freeing her big eyes.
Zi quickly floated back into the air, fearing that he would be stared at by Shen Sang Ning again.
Shen Sang Ning not only stared at the big eyeballs viciously, but also conveyed her desire for the big eyeballs from the depths of her eyes: greedy, wanting to eat.
During the twenty minutes or so that Shen Sangning held Big Eyeball, many images flashed through his mind, the most common of which was him being swallowed by Shen Sangning bite by bite. It was still a round ball, so Shen Sangning didn't need to press it into a black ball, which made it much easier for Shen Sangning to eat.
After returning to the room, Lin Xi saw that her sister had already gone to bed and was resting there obediently. Lin Xi glanced at the small alarm clock on the table. It was only a little after eight o'clock, so her sister should not have fallen asleep yet. Among the four family members in this family, the younger brother has the lowest favorability, while the younger sister has the highest.
Lin Xi came to the window, tiptoed and looked up at the upper bunk. As expected, her sister hadn't rested yet. She was lying on the bed with her back facing up, a pillow under her chest, and a book in front of her. Lin Xi couldn't see the specific content of the book, but it should be a comic book, and a children's cult. It was black and red, and it looked like it was not a good thing.
The younger sister obviously felt Lin Xi's gaze, she changed from lying on her stomach to lying on her side, and stuffed the comic book under the pillow. She looked at Lin Xi: "Lin Xi, what's the matter?"
Lin Xi wasn't exactly considerate or talkative. To be more precise, she was somewhat socially anxious around strangers. Although she didn't appear to be that way, she was just like that.
It's just that her social phobia is a little strange. Other people's social phobia is: shrinking back, pretending not to see or hear anything and walking away quickly, but Lin Xi's social phobia is more like a social terrorist: "I can't sleep, let me talk to you." The sister opened her eyes wide and was a little at a loss for a moment, but when she heard Lin Xi say that she wanted to chat, she nodded.
My sister climbed down from the upper bunk and sat on the chair, and Lin Xi sat on her own bed. Lin Xi didn't know how to start, so she just asked, "What do you think of this family?"
"Ah?" The younger sister probably didn't expect Lin Xi to ask this question, so she looked a little surprised, then a little distressed, and her whole face wrinkled together. After a while, the younger sister said, "Home is happiness."
Lin Xi sneered: "It's fine if the three of them said so, but why do you say so too?"
This family is not a happy one for the younger sister, as can be seen from the treatment she receives on a daily basis. As the two girls in the family, both the older Lin Xi and the younger sister have the worst seats, while the younger brother enjoys the care of his parents, and occasionally they pick up food for him.
But his sister only focused on the two dishes in front of her, and rarely took the dishes. Seeing her eat like this, Lin Xi felt aggrieved. But then again, no matter how pitiful his sister was, she was still a ghost, and she might be able to stab him to death at any time, so Lin Xi couldn't show his saintly heart and care about his sister.
Even if you don't care, you still have to observe.
Lin Xi initially thought her younger sister would be the more temperamental type. After all, the rules stated, "As the youngest child in the family, her every wish must be fulfilled." In that case, she should be given preferential treatment, right? However, in reality, her younger sister was a bit of a pitiful person.
That's why when she said "home is a happy place", Lin Xi sneered.
She asked again, "So what do you think of me?"
My sister hesitated for a moment before answering, "He should be a good person."
This also aligns with the rules: "Older sisters are reliable and trustworthy" and "Older sisters should take care of their younger siblings." So, in the younger sister's eyes, the older sister is of course a good person. Lin Xi still hasn't realized that her role is supposed to be the younger sister, and the little girl opposite is the older sister.
Cai Hua, who was watching the live broadcast, frowned, wondering whether she should use this last remaining chance. But then, she looked at the sentence she had just written, "Home is a happy place". The theme of this copy was called "Sweet Home". Cai Hua didn't think this theme was just for nothing, there must be a reason for it.
And the last, most important rule, that long horizontal line, if you were to fill it in, could it possibly be related to the theme? Could "home is happiness" as the "sister" says, possibly be the true theme of this dungeon?
Cai Hua felt his head aching. Other members of the team also collected content from other live broadcast rooms and made reports.
As of tonight, there are only twelve left of the fifteen anchors. One of them was taken away by the blood in the bathroom; the remaining two also passed away for their own reasons. But thankfully, this group has experienced yesterday's events and is now stable. There are still twelve anchors.
Lin Xi had fallen asleep, but Cai Hua was still watching the replays of other live broadcast rooms. The Guijueguatan App did not have its own replay function. After all, the anchors were all live broadcasting, so how could they start live broadcasting directly? But now smart devices are very powerful and can record the screen directly. Not to mention the official devices, many of which are automatically recorded, so Cai Hua has replay videos of a hundred live broadcast rooms.
What she has to do now is to review today's events with the team.
People from other teams will also help. They do this not just for Lin Xi. What they have to face is what if all the anchors are killed and then the rules are weird. How to ensure the safety of the vast majority of citizens.
At least the streamers had drawn on their talents, though they varied from blue sky and white clouds to golden legends, they still had a foundation that could keep them alive. For example, they attributed Lin Xi's talents to not only staying safe until now but even being able to kill the evil spirits.
While everyone was watching the live broadcast, Cai Hua's student suddenly asked a question: "Does the character 'sister' exist?"
Cai Hua's heart skipped a beat, and the faces of those around him froze. Humans are prone to preconceived notions, easily entering a framework based on existing information and ignoring other factors. For example, in this rule-based fantasy, I believe most people would think that the "sister" character is a character setting, a character that the player needs to play.
In this situation, everyone would assume the younger sister didn't exist and was just the player. Although she had a very complete setting, such as being the youngest daughter in the family, being cared for by her older sister, and even being a bit willful and refusing to eat chopped green onions... everyone would think it was a rule quirk deliberately trying to make things difficult for the streamers.
But what if the character of younger sister really exists?
If the character of the younger sister exists, where is she now? Is she alive or dead?
This question made everyone present fall into silence, because if this question existed, then the "ta" in the "obtain his approval" in the passing condition would have another explanation.
Cai Hua pinched her brows. She really hated this whole rule-based fantasy thing now. It was all about playing word games all day long, and those word games weren't honest either, always setting traps everywhere. After taking charge of the team, Cai Hua took some time to read some of the more popular rule-based fantasy novels on the market. She was thankful that the content of this rule-based fantasy novel was still simple and easy to understand. If there were a few more "two of the above rules are wrong" or completely contradictory rules, it would really be a headache.
But even so, there are two paradoxes in this "Sweet Home".
4. There is only one living person in the house, and no one else is trustworthy;
5. Your sister is reliable and trustworthy. If you don’t know how to deal with family conflicts, you can discuss it with your sister.
Lin Xi felt that there was nothing wrong with these two statements because she put herself in the role of "sister". In that case, there was only one living person in the family, no one else was trustworthy, and the sister was reliable and trustworthy. That was completely true.
But in fact, the anchor plays the role of "sister". In this case, these two points are a complete paradox.
Someone in the team raised their hand and suggested another possibility: "What if the host is not playing the role of a 'sister', but a 'person playing the role of a sister'?" Whether it is from Lin Xi's live broadcast room or other hosts' live broadcast rooms, it can be seen that the role of 'sister' is non-threatening in most cases. Except for the fact that the sister will take the initiative to confirm whether the host has slept at bedtime the night before, she is basically harmless.
This is consistent with the fifth rule of the main rules, which means that this rule can basically be considered true. Combined with the existing information, the hypothesis proposed by this team member is also very likely. If the anchor is playing "a person who plays the role of a younger sister", then everything fits in. ⑥
The recorder wrote down all their hypotheses and arguments, sorting them into categories. Cai Hua looked at the confusing sentences above, tapping her fingers on the table, wondering whether to send the sentence "You are the younger sister, but you are only acting as the younger sister" to Lin Xi.
Honestly, Cai Hua didn't think Lin Xi was particularly intelligent. If she were, she wouldn't still consider herself the "older sister" and the girl sleeping in her bed the "younger sister." Of all the anchors, only Lin Xi hadn't fully grasped the situation.
Really, if it weren't for her wife, she would have died countless times.
