Consciousness Return. The Female Ghost probably never imagined that Andrew would possess the miraculous ability to "turn off the TV"!
As long as Andrew exits, the simulation ends, and naturally, she would cease to exist!
"As expected, the Female Ghost cannot be trusted."
"Did the original owner of this body ever make the same mistakes I did?"
Lying on the bed, you couldn't help but wonder: has the Original Owner also gone through everything you're experiencing now?
The difference is that you're experiencing it inside the Simulator, while the Original Owner went through it in the real world.
You can change the future, use the Simulator to avoid risks and mistakes, while the Original Owner could only sink into despair!
"I thought the Female Ghost would be a great ally and a hope for saving my family. But it turns out it all backfired."
"I can't even imagine how desperate the Original Owner must have felt!"
Recalling everything that just happened, if it weren't in the Simulator, you'd probably be beyond salvation by now!
"Next, the same problems remain. First is the rooster crow, then the Man in the Black Trench Coat in the basement."
"The Female Ghost has already become a Vengeful Spirit and her humanity is nearly gone. There's no chance of cooperation, at least not for now."
"Looks like I can only rely on myself!"
You let out a helpless sigh, but immediately sat up in bed.
"No, that can't be right. Grandma would never have given my sister a mirror that ended up being used for the Female Ghost's benefit. This mirror must have another purpose!"
"Looks like I'll have to ask Mom and Dad!"
Andrew still wanted to find a way to make use of the Female Ghost. Letting such a powerful force go to waste was simply too extravagant, especially when the whole family was still in danger and urgently needed support.
To uncover the mirror's true purpose, it seemed there was no other option but to come clean with his parents.
Parents always think for their children, and their desire to shield them from fear and hardship comes from love.
But this kind of "it's for your own good" mentality often leads to misunderstandings and turns something good into something bad.
A family should face hardship together. That's what it means to be a family!
Compared to a family model built on "what's good for you," Andrew preferred one where no question lingers overnight!
Luckily, he exited the simulation in time and didn't die. His Mental Value had only dropped by five points, still at 64.
At this rate, he could run at least three more simulations!
This approach dramatically improved the Simulator's efficiency.
And even though he had spent a long time in the Simulator and gone through countless events, in the real world, only an instant had passed. His parents hadn't even finished washing up or turned off the lights to sleep.
The viewers watching the livestream in the real world only saw Andrew go to the basement, find a new set of [Basement Chapter] rules, then buy a green notebook from a nearby shop, playfully bicker with his sister, wash up, and return to his room.
To them, that was all that had happened during this time.
They were still cheering for Andrew, hoping he could clear the challenge so that they too might find a way to survive the Rule Horror that had invaded the real world.
Perhaps this is what they mean by "a day inside the cave equals a thousand years outside."
"Activate the Simulator!"
After composing himself, Andrew reactivated the Simulator.
{Simulation Start!!!}
{You stepped out of your room and found your parents, saying you wanted to talk.}
{Seeing you suddenly turn serious and solemn, you're so different from the carefree boy who had just been playing with his sister, they were stunned and couldn't react right away.}
{Then, they brought you into the study and asked what was wrong.}
{You looked at them earnestly and seriously, asking whether the family was facing some kind of unsolvable crisis.}
{Your parents froze, then forced a smile and told you everything was fine at home, and you shouldn't overthink it, just focus on your studies.}
{But you weren't reassured by their words. Your expression grew even more serious. You told them you had read your sister's diary and remembered what happened between February 8 and February 13.}
{You added that although you had been unconscious during some of that time, your mind was fully aware. You'd heard heavy breathing from beneath the bed and the sound of bones being chopped in the early morning.}
{You continued, saying that as a family, you should face everything together. There should be no doubts or secrets between you. As long as your family stays united, there's no hardship you can't overcome!}
{"As long as we're together, nothing is truly hard!"}
{Your parents stared at you, their faces full of disbelief.}
{In their minds, you were always just a clueless child. They never imagined you would be able to say something so profound and let alone turn the tables and teach them what it means to be a family!}
{After a brief moment of stunned silence, your mother burst into tears, and your father's eyes welled with tears of his own.}
{Their child… had truly grown up.}
{Your father wiped his eyes and told your mother not to cry, saying, "Our son has grown up. He understands things now. This is a good thing, we should be happy."}
{Through her tears and laughter, your mother agreed. "Yes, yes, our child has grown up. We should be happy!"}
{After a moment of hesitation, your parents exchanged a glance and then finally nodded. They began to explain the main issue the family was facing.}
{What you didn't expect was beyond the Female Ghost and the mastermind, there was yet another, even more serious problem.}
{Grandma might undergo a corpse transformation!}
{Once transformed, she would lose all reason and become a mindless killing machine.}
{And for a corpse-transformed grandma, the quickest way to enhance her strength would be to devour the bloodline of her own family.}
{That old friend of grandma's hadn't come over to help solve the problem. Instead, she had told your mother to leave her children behind and travel far to meet her.}
{Because she had been busy suppressing Grandma's corpse transformation the entire time… and couldn't leave!}
