"Hey, brother, look! A bunny, a puppy, and a piglet!"
Just as Andrew was hesitating about whether to take his sister and immediately leave the city, his sister excitedly pointed at the wedding motorcade and exclaimed.
Andrew froze for a moment, and almost instinctively recalled the tenth rule from the Nighttime section:
[You must accept the 1 a.m. delivery!! Note: Check the peephole before opening the door. The delivery man will be wearing a bunny, puppy, or piglet (crossed out) mask. Do NOT open the door to a bad person!!
Do not open the door! Do not open the door! Do not open the door!! (The text below is aggressively scratched out.)]
Following his sister's finger, Andrew looked again.
Among the wedding motorcade was a car with a few men inside, each wearing a bunny, puppy, or piglet mask.
It seemed those men had heard his sister's voice—they subconsciously turned to look in Andrew's direction.
"Let's go!"
"I'm hungry!!!"
Andrew immediately withdrew his gaze and urged his sister to leave quickly.
It was too dangerous!
After the power outage, all these strange and terrifying entities had begun to appear.
It was far too risky. Otherwise, Andrew would have wanted to stay and observe what would happen next.
But such a dangerously tempting thought was quickly squashed by Andrew. Nothing is more important than staying alive!
The masked men didn't seem to recognize Andrew or his sister. Seeing them leave voluntarily, they didn't pay much attention. They appeared to have a very specific target.
"That's so weird. Who gets married in the afternoon?"
Walking out of the neighborhood, his sister was still curious about what had just happened.
"Why do you care so much about other people?"
"What do you want to eat? Beef Noodles, Braised Chicken with Rice, Snacks..."
Andrew immediately changed the subject.
Initially, he'd thought about taking his sister and leaving the city, just as the rule had advised.
But it wasn't nighttime yet.
And judging by what happened just now, it seemed those people didn't recognize him or his sister.
Being left in the dark for so long was unbearable.
He had been passive long enough. This time, Andrew wanted to take the initiative and uncover the truth behind all this.
And now was clearly the perfect opportunity.
But first, he needed to get his sister settled before he could act freely.
"Let's have Beef Noodles then. I don't like eating bones."
His sister thought for a second before deciding.
Doesn't like eating bones?
Andrew reflexively recalled what was in those black plastic bags.
But as soon as that thought surfaced, he forcefully shut it down. He didn't want to end up vomiting for another ten minutes.
"Alright. Go ahead and order. Get one for me too, the same as yours. I'm just going to buy something else real quick."
Andrew made up an excuse to send his sister into the shop first.
"Not going in together?"
His sister hesitated. She seemed reluctant to be separated from him.
"It's fine. I'm just grabbing something quick."
"You'll be done ordering by the time I get back."
Andrew insisted.
His sister had no choice but to agree.
Watching her go into the noodle shop, Andrew immediately headed to buy grilled gluten skewers.
While waiting for them to cook, he activated the Simulator.
{Simulation begins!!!}
{You tell the skewer vendor you'll come back later, then immediately run back to the neighborhood.}
{You sneak in and hide behind a large tree.}
{You see the wedding party entering your apartment building. They head to the 17th floor, to the unit below yours.}
{The three men in the bunny, piglet, and puppy masks don't follow the wedding party. Instead, they go to the 18th floor and stand at your apartment door.}
{They knock a few times, but no one answers.}
{When the wedding party downstairs starts heading back down, the three masked men also leave.}
{After they leave, your apartment door opens from the inside.}
{A Two Meter Tall Woman steps out of your apartment.}
{Her clothes are visibly torn in many places, suggesting a struggle took place inside.}
{The wedding party, having picked up the bride, drums and plays suona music as they leave the neighborhood.}
{The Two Meter Tall Woman enters the elevator and disappears.}
{You remain hidden for another half hour to ensure nothing else happens. Then you sneak back to your apartment and approach your door.}
{After confirming no one is around, you unlock the door with your key.
You die!}
{Simulation ended. Duration: 53 minutes. Current Mental Value: 78!}
"They were after my home?!"
Frowning deeply, Andrew's expression turned grim.
Were they after him? His sister? His parents? Or all four of them?
Where had his mother gone?
Why hadn't she come home yet?
"Spicy or not?"
The skewer vendor asked.
"Huh?"
Interrupted from his thoughts, Andrew was visibly stunned.
"Do you want it spicy?"
The vendor asked again.
"Yes, medium spice!"
Andrew nodded in response.
Then he activated the Simulator again.
{Simulation begins!!!}
{You tell the vendor you'll be back soon, then dash to a convenience store and borrow the shopkeeper's landline to call your mom.}
{The first call goes unanswered.}
{On the second try, she picks up. You can hear the sound of drums and suona music in the background.}
{You ask her where she is, saying there's a power outage at home.}
{She says she's already back at the apartment and asks where you and your sister are, telling you to return home immediately.}
{You say okay, you'll be right back.}
{After hanging up, you sneak back to the neighborhood and hide behind the large tree, watching your apartment building.}
{The wedding party is on the 17th floor. The three masked men are at your apartment door, knocking, but no one answers.}
{When the wedding party downstairs begins to leave, the three masked men follow and also head down.}
{Then, your apartment door opens from the inside, and a Two Meter Tall Woman steps out.}
{Her clothes are visibly torn, suggesting a struggle happened inside.}
{The wedding party picks up the bride and leaves with music and fanfare.}
{The Two Meter Tall Woman enters the elevator and disappears.}
{You hide behind the tree for five more minutes. Seeing no further abnormal activity, you run back to the convenience store and call your mom again.}
{The call is answered after two rings. Your mom asks where you and your sister are. She sounds angry, agitated, and slightly out of breath.}
{You tell her you saw three people in animal masks outside your door and then a Two Meter Tall Woman came out of the apartment. You were too scared to go back in.}
{She pauses for a moment, clearly stunned, and then asks again where you are.}
{You say you're at a snack street convenience store, too scared to go home, and ask if she can come get you.}
{She tells you to stay put and not go anywhere, she'll come pick you up.}
{You hang up and immediately leave the convenience store, then hide on the second floor of a nearby internet cafe, watching the area around the store from a distance.}
{Five minutes later, the Two Meter Tall Woman arrives at the convenience store.}
