Chapter 28 Sister, Save Me
If the "Sweet Home" quest essentially meant the anchor replaced her sister as a member of the family, then she should have completed it by now. But Lin Xi's intuition was questioning: Is this really the case? Could she really just lie down and wait for seven days to expire, then successfully complete the mission?
Lin Xi didn't know that she was still deeply worried, but the fans in the live broadcast room were all opening champagne.
[Wuhu, too strong, Miss Linxi is really too strong, she took off directly! ]
[Let's get down! The strongest sister has been eliminated. My sister Lin is now the master of this family!]
[I just came to Linxi's live broadcast room. Can I be considered a ten-year old fan? 】
[Ningning ahhhh Ningning is so awesome! With Ningning here, nothing is a problem!]
[I hit it, I really hit it. Lin Xi really trusted Shen Sangning so much that she completely put her life in Shen Sangning's hands.]
[I still don’t know what Lin Xi’s talent is, but her talent is really strong. ]
[I guess Chen Sang Ning is Lin Xi's talent.]
Even the team members breathed a sigh of relief, even though the other four streamers had been decimated, leaving only Lin Xi and one other person. When Lin Xi was in danger, the other streamers weren't in much better shape.
There were five anchors, three of whom had a final chance to warn others, while Lin Xi and another did not. The one without the warning was the first to be killed by the younger sister. He was unaware of the younger sister's rule of "hiding in a gap," and didn't leave the gap immediately, so he was taken away by the younger sister's surprise attack.
The other three anchors chose to stay away from the gap as soon as they received the reminder. Two anchors made similar choices. After staying away, they found some tape from home and carefully covered the gap.
This method is really useful.
During this time, Cai Hua not only crammed herself with regular ghost story novels, but also watched famous horror movies from both China and abroad. She even had dark circles under her eyes from staying up all night. Among the many movies, Cai Hua saw one about a "gap ghost."
The movie tells the story of a protagonist who was alone at home and always felt that someone was peeping at him through the cracks, so he used the same method to seal every crack with tape. This method allowed him to live a few more days, but later, as the tape lost its stickiness and fell off, he was taken away directly by the ghost in the cracks.
Caihua didn’t know whether the two of them had seen this movie, but this action was still useful.
Another anchor who did not do so was caught in the gap by her sister due to carelessness, and the live broadcast room also went black. Cai Hua speculated that her sister's rules had a lot to do with the gap. She did not understand the specific rules, but her actions were definitely related to the gap.
The subsequent footage from Lin Xi's livestream also indirectly illustrates this issue. Earlier in the room, the younger sister hadn't left the gap, so even if Shen Sangning grabbed her hand, she instantly slipped away like a loach. However, after leaving the gap, she was clearly much weaker. -_-!
Even when their parents were trapped by their legs and feet, they could try their best to stop Shen Sang Ning, even if it was useless, but at least they could resist. However, her sister was like a fool, unable to move. Cai Hua felt that a large part of the reason was that she left the gap and her strength was weakened.
The gap was blocked, which weakened her strength, so the sisters in the two live broadcast rooms chose the same method as Lin Xi's sister. When everyone was present, they tried their best to get out of the gap, letting the family choose who could survive.
Even what they say is the same: "I am real and he is fake."
Here I am playing with the real and fake Monkey King.
The anchor of one of the live broadcast rooms was killed instantly because the family members unconditionally stood on the side of the sister. However, the anchor of another live broadcast room won the competition of family favorability. He was a male college student from country B, with a talent of "evil ghost affinity". He was lucky enough to win the golden legend during the lottery. As long as he stands in front of the ghost, he will have a good impression.
Under such circumstances, and because he is indeed smart, he not only did not make his family members want to kill him, but he also gained a high degree of favorability. When he and his sister competed on the same stage, the family's favorability was wavering.
In the end, it was the elder sister who dealt the younger sister a fatal blow.
The male college student pleaded with the girl who was ten years younger than him: "Sister, save me!" The girl was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand. She was still holding her toy in her hand, and there was some struggle in her eyes. After a moment, she threw the toy away.
The toy hit the sister right between her eyebrows, and she fell to the ground soon after. She was closer to the floor than the male college student, so she was dragged down by the tentacle. There were five people left in the house, and the attack was lifted. At that time, the male college student's live broadcast room was full of comments:
[Thank you, sister. Thank you, sister, for saving the anchor from danger.]
[Sister is so strong! I was right to increase her favorability before!]
[I never thought my sister could be so strong! Fortunately, I didn't offend her!]
The male college student fell to the ground, gasping for breath. The sister slowly walked up to the male college student, and the male college student immediately burst into tears and hugged the sister, and kept thanking her. Although the sister was much shorter than the male college student, because the male college student was sitting on the ground, the sister could easily touch the male college student's head.
She touched the male college student's curly hair with her cold hands, as if to comfort him.
Just as Caihua guessed, the younger sister had indeed become much weaker after leaving the gap, otherwise the older sister would never have been able to kill her instantly. The message she reported to her superiors at the time was that she had to identify with this family and also be recognized by this family.
She looked at the title. The title of this copy was "Sweet Home", but her sister was the one who was attacked and not recognized. She could only find ways to kill others within her own rules, just like the ghost in the bathroom faucet.
Why did my sister, who was originally a member of the family, hide in her own home? Because she was rejected by this family.
This home is "sweet", but after what the younger sister has gone through, if she still lives in this home, can this home still be called "sweet"? The answer is obvious. The "home" is not satisfied with the existence of the younger sister, so it wants someone else to come in and take her place.
On behalf of my sister, let this home become "sweet" again.
Unfortunately, except for the male college student from Country B who drew the talent of "evil affinity", no one else could make it to the stage of competing for family recognition. The reason why the male college student asked his sister, who was a ghost, for help in the end was because this reminder made him realize that family is indeed very important to him.
Fortunately, his sister did not forget her trust and really saved him.
The message sent by Country B to the male college student was a combination of the sister gap rules and the relationship between family members. Looking at the live broadcast room of the male college student who was having dinner happily, it seemed that at this moment it really corresponded to the theme of "Sweet Home".
Just like Lin Xi, Cai Hua always felt that something was wrong.
Is it really... that simple?
People on Weibo are saying that this time it’s stable, and some are complaining:
[This is the beginner level, right? It's too hard. Only two out of 100 streamers have survived so far. If I were in this level, I'd die on my first day.]
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. When I read the novel, each life seemed so simple. Why is it so difficult when it really happens?
[Just a joke, a realistically difficult novice level.]
[Thankfully, it's finally over. Now everything is stable and I can finally sleep peacefully.]
[I have been very nervous these past few days, fearing that all the anchors will be killed in the next moment, and a strange story will happen, and I will be unlucky enough to encounter it. ]
Cai Hua also received new tasks assigned by his superiors, and the tasks were numerous, tedious and difficult. One was to predict what kind of weird story would happen in the next copy, one was to estimate the possibility of the next weird story happening and the possibility of Lin Xi passing the level, and one was what kind of reward would be given if Lin Xi returned to reality.
Besides that, there were a lot of other things. The most difficult thing was to predict the next dungeon. How could a group of ordinary people like them do that? As for estimating the possibility... Cai Hua had seen the vote on the internal forum, and everyone voted for "there will be another dungeon."
The other two options: There will be no next dungeon, either is possible, no one will choose either. The live broadcast room of the Rules and Talks was so grand, it is impossible to stop just to show them a hundred anchors surviving. Although voting for the first option is a bit inhumane, no one has the fluke mentality.
After Lin Xi successfully killed her sister, Cai Hua's mood also improved a lot. She brought a can of coffee to the teacher. After Cai Hua took it, the student was even in the mood to chat with Cai Hua: "Teacher, what do you think the next ghost story will be?"
Before Cai Hua could answer, the student continued, "Could it be a hospital? Hospitals often appear in regular ghost story novels. There are even many novels where the first ghost story begins with a hospital. Schools are also a possibility; they're considered classic settings. I was chatting in the group before, and everyone thought these two possibilities were the most likely."
Cai Hua placed her hand on the pull ring, and with a click, it popped open, letting some of the coffee inside fall onto the outside of the cup. Her students continued to chatter, "The beginner level is so difficult! If I were a streamer, I wouldn't survive it. I wonder how difficult the next levels will be. The next one will definitely be very difficult. Is there really any streamer who can survive it?"
As she muttered, Cai Hua lifted her cup and tilted her head back, taking a sip of coffee. The bitter taste of the coffee swirled in her mouth, and the moment it was swallowed, it cleared her mind a little. Sometimes inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind like a flash of light.
Cai Hua frowned: "What were you talking about just now?"
"Huh?" The student was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied to Cai Hua: "Teacher, I was wondering how difficult the next level would be."
"Not this one, but the one at the beginning."
The student thought for a moment before answering: "Is the beginner level so difficult?"
Cai Hua's frown deepened: "But who said this is a novice level?"
