[Midday and Afternoon Chapter]
[1. You must eat when it's mealtime. If your parents haven't cooked, remind them.]
[2. If you find bones, fingernails, or other hard-to-swallow objects in your food, do not panic. Immediately smile and say: "This meal is delicious!!"]
[3. If your mother asks you to cut paper window decorations, you must find an excuse to refuse!]
[4. Peek at your sister's diary while helping her with homework.]
[5. Do not play hide-and-seek with your sister.]
[6. Do not use electronic devices in front of your parents. But always stay updated with the local news.]
When the rule "Do not play hide-and-seek with your sister" appeared, the viewers watching the livestream felt their scalps go numb and were filled with cold dread.
If Andrew had agreed to play earlier, he would have triggered this rule.
And what would have followed was unimaginable.
"Dragon Totem, protect Andrew! You've got this, Andrew!"
"Challenger from B Country just died. Only fifteen Challengers left. Stay strong, Andrew!"
"Ugh, what is wrong with this family? I'm seriously starting to think Dad, Mom, and even the sister aren't human at all. Be careful, Andrew!"
"Guys, just now, F Country's Challenger died from playing hide-and-seek with his sister. It was sudden. Very unsettling. The sister's extremely dangerous!"
"There are fewer and fewer surviving challengers. Let's go, Andrew!"
Because of the earlier simulation, Andrew had been mentally prepared.
So the appearance of Rule 5 didn't surprise him much.
Instead, it was the other rules that made his scalp tingle.
Especially:
[2. If you find bones, fingernails, or other hard-to-swallow objects in your food, do not panic. Immediately smile and say: "This meal is delicious!!"]
Why would there be bones or fingernails in the food?!
Had his mother killed someone, chopped them up, frozen the parts, and served them bit by bit at meals?!
And if this tied into the earlier topic of someone getting married in the neighborhood, could the murdered person be connected to the wedding?
The groom?
The bride?
The more he thought, the worse it got.
The deeper the thoughts went, the colder his back became.
But often, the more you try not to think about something, the more your mind fixates on it.
Andrew's gaze unconsciously shifted to the fridge.
Was there a body in there?
Would he find a frozen head staring back at him if he opened it?
"What are you doing?"
A cold voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
Even Andrew who had faced death many times tensed up instantly.
His breathing stopped.
It felt like the blood in his body had frozen.
He turned his stiff neck slowly and saw his sister, grinning mischievously.
"Haha!"
"Scared you, didn't I?"
"I figured you'd come to the kitchen. Mom usually doesn't let us in here, and now she's not home!"
Looking at that cheerful face, Andrew had an almost uncontrollable urge to strangle her.
Dammit!
People scaring people can really cause heart attacks!
His heart had nearly stopped just now!
Smile, your period's late, is it?!
"Did you find anything interesting?"
"Have you looked inside the fridge?"
She reached out, about to open it.
Andrew's heart, which had just settled down, immediately jumped back up.
If there was really a head inside and his sister saw it, would it trigger a chain reaction?!
Bang!!
Just as she grabbed the handle, Andrew slapped his palm hard against the fridge door.
"Mom told us not to touch the fridge. If she finds out, we're done for!"
He spoke seriously, his expression grave.
"Tsk."
"Mom doesn't let us come in the kitchen either, but here you are!"
She rolled her eyes.
But in the end, she let go of the handle and didn't insist on opening the fridge.
Andrew let out a heavy sigh of relief.
The two of them walked out of the kitchen, one after the other.
Then, his sister suddenly turned around and stared at him coldly.
"Say it, who are you really?
What's your purpose for coming into my home?"
Even Andrew felt a chill run through his entire body.
Had his identity been exposed?!
"Activate Simulator!"
Andrew commanded in his mind.
{Simulation Start!!!}
{You stay calm and respond with a straight face: "I don't know what you're talking about."}
{Your sister's smile fades. Coldness spreads across her face. Blood-red lines appear on her body.}
{"This is your last chance. Tell me, what did you do to my brother?!"}
{You remain silent. No response.}
{The blood-red lines multiply. Her expression twists into something monstrous.}
{Under immense pressure, you finally say: "I am your brother!"}
{You died.}
{Simulation End. Duration: 3 minutes. Current Mental Value: 54!}
Andrew furrowed his brow deeply.
This time, it didn't feel like he had violated a rule.
It felt more like his identity had been exposed.
And his sister had killed him because of it.
"I'll ask one last time. Who are you really?"
Seeing Andrew remain silent,
Her expression twisted further, blood-red lines began spreading all across her skin.
