Chapter 14 Mother's Nightmare (4)
She kept her head down and didn't see a barely noticeable comment flash by:
Why do I feel like the talisman Ruoruo drew looks a bit like the one Jiu Jiu drew yesterday?
Unfortunately, this comment was quickly covered by other comments, and apart from attracting some criticism, it didn't cause any significant stir.
Lin Chujiu thought about it for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.
She decided to give up and refocused her attention on the live stream, asking the viewers, "What would you like to see?"
It's enough that you're sitting here with us.
[Yeah, just sit here and sell your beauty.]
[Hmm, should the streamer consider exploring the surrounding environment live? After all, horror streams are supposed to be about broadcasting scary content.]
[Yeah, Ruoruo is the best at live-streaming horror. If you want to learn from her, you should learn everything.]
Stop comparing Jiu Jiu and Ruo Ruo all the time. You should respect others in their live streams.
Did I say something wrong?
Lin Chujiu has gotten somewhat used to being compared to Ruoruo.
She skipped over those words and went straight to the point:
"Then I'll go live to look for clues. Actually, I've looked at it before, but I haven't found anything."
With everyone encouraging me this time, I was able to delve deeper into my research.
After saying that, she smiled, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth were especially beautiful, making everyone who saw her feel bright and cheerful.
Lin Chujiu left the room, and the live stream's display panel moved with her movements.
There are no cell phones in the horror world; it seems the gods of the horror world are using this method to prevent players from slacking off.
Before entering the horror world, Lin Chujiu was enslaved by evil capitalists, and after entering the instance, she was enslaved by the horror live broadcast room, which made her feel a little depressed.
She hadn't used Douyin for two days and was getting a little itchy.
But she still had to work, Lin Chujiu sighed helplessly, and resignedly began to explore the house.
In the kitchen, Jiang Chaoyu was washing dishes. He had been washing for quite a while, so long that Lin Chujiu began to suspect that he might be doing something else in there.
Lin Chujiu heard Jiang Chaoyu seemingly whispering something in the kitchen.
She vaguely heard words like "Fengdu" and "ban".
She was about to tiptoe closer to the kitchen to listen when she discovered that the faint sounds had completely disappeared in the next instant.
Undeterred, she approached the kitchen and saw Jiang Chaoyu washing dishes with a stern, expressionless face.
Sensing Lin Chujiu's arrival, Jiang Chaoyu looked up at her expressionlessly.
She almost overheard me.
Lin Chujiu felt a little embarrassed.
But thinking that being shameless was also a good quality, she stubbornly clung to the door frame and refused to leave.
"Brother, could you help me look in the kitchen? I want to see if there's anything to eat."
Although the question was a bit blunt, Lin Chujiu had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
Her bright, sparkling eyes were fixed on him, making it impossible for him to refuse.
Rule 4: Avoid being near the kitchen, especially at night.
Rule 5: You can trust your older brother, and you can seek his help when necessary.
Lin Chujiu decided to play it safe and ask her brother to help her.
Although it might be a bit presumptuous, we need to find clues, and she really doesn't want to go in.
The live stream audience was also shocked by her sudden action.
Are you crazy? You're asking a weirdo to find clues for you?
Who's going crazy, you or me?
[Even though I know my brother is a good person, Jiu Jiu's behavior is a bit reckless, haha.]
Aren't you afraid your brother will find out?
Unbeknownst to them, Jiang Chaoyu had known all along that Lin Chujiu was a player.
He knew that the players were bound by certain rules, although he didn't know what those rules were, but he knew they existed.
He entered the horror livestream room under the identity of "son," which should have been subject to the rules.
However, those rules were too weak and posed no threat to him, so he couldn't be bothered to care.
Anyway, they were mostly looking for clues and such. Jiang Chaoyu looked at Lin Chujiu and said, "I'll turn the cabinet over for you to see. If you don't want to come in, you can just stand outside and watch."
After he said that, the viewers in the live stream were shocked.
They actually helped!
[Exquisitely Mysterious]
[The Underworld's Most Mysterious Prize – You Deserve It!]
[This problem-solving ability is so manly! So sweet!]
You actually took the photos for me?
This time, it was Lin Chujiu's turn to be shocked.
Lin Chujiu never expected Jiang Chaoyu to be so generous.
She suspected that Jiang Chaoyu knew something, but he was indeed someone the rules said could be trusted.
She didn't know that even if she died in this instance, Jiang Chaoyu wouldn't benefit from it.
Jiang Chaoyu was just bored and decided to lend her a hand.
Jiang Chaoyu searched very thoroughly, finding almost every corner.
During the search, they even opened the bottles and jars they found for her to look at, and even shook them.
Lin Chujiu was deeply moved by his thoughtfulness.
She carefully examined every detail.
The kitchen was no different from an ordinary kitchen, except that it contained an unusually large amount of seasonings.
Moreover, dishes like steamed meat rice noodles, which are clearly meant to be served with meat, make up a significant portion of the menu.
This puzzled Lin Chujiu.
The food she's been eating these past two days, whether it's made by her mother or Jiang Chaoyu, has been very bland and doesn't need so many seasonings at all.
As for meat dishes, I've never seen them before.
Lin Chujiu recalled how her mother looked last night.
A bold idea took shape in my mind—is there really only one "mother" in this family?
[20% of the truth has been revealed. Please keep up the good work, host!]
The system's voice suddenly rang out!
Lin Chujiu was startled. When she looked up, she saw Jiang Chaoyu staring at her thoughtfully with his head down!
Lin Chujiu panicked a little. Why was he suddenly looking at her like that?
Jiang Chaoyu had just suddenly sensed a strange energy fluctuation emanating from Lin Chujiu; it was the presence of the Horror System.
It seems this player has revealed part of the truth.
Jiang Chaoyu thought to herself, "I didn't expect her to be so smart."
Once you find the starting point, the truth won't be hard to uncover.
Perhaps she doesn't necessarily have to stay in this instance for seven days.
Jiang Chaoyu looked at Lin Chujiu with admiration in his eyes.
Lin Chujiu felt a sense of joy upon learning that she had revealed part of the truth.
This is the first time she's revealed the truth!
But why did the other "mother" like using seasonings so much? Lin Chujiu couldn't figure it out.
She then pretended to be nonchalant as she looked around and flipped through the things at home.
She thought she had done something completely undetected, but little did she know that Jiang Chaoyu's divine sense was powerful enough to detect it.
Lin Chujiu still didn't dare to go into her mother's room. There were no clues in other parts of the house, which made Lin Chujiu somewhat disappointed.
Now only Mom and Brother's rooms haven't been searched.
She was a little unsure where to begin.
At this moment, Jiang Chaoyu came over after washing the dishes. Seeing her sitting blankly on the sofa with nothing to do, he said, seemingly casually:
"The floor is a bit dirty. Go sweep all the floors in the house, and I'll wipe the table."
"See the Buddha off to the Western Paradise," Jiang Chaoyu thought casually.
He didn't realize that with each of these small acts of indulgence, a part of his heart was quietly being betrayed.
Lin Chujiu didn't react when she first heard it.
She exclaimed "Ah!" and then instantly understood, looking at Jiang Chaoyu as if she were seeing a god!
Jiang Chaoyu's heart softened again when he saw Lin Chujiu's starry-eyed expression.
